Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Hearing the familiar voice, Ning Kuan and the other man immediately looked back, only to see a man in a cloak whose face could not be seen coming to the stall.

"Okay!" The shop owner also started to get busy, and taking this opportunity, Ning Kuan and Zhu Xie came over.

Apparently, this person also saw the two people approaching. He raised his cloak slightly and looked at the two people in shock: "Fat Ning, and Lao Zhu?"

This person was none other than Zhu Yuncheng, who took some time out of his busy schedule to bring little Ganyu to the market to buy sugar paintings.

He first looked at the two people, then at the sugar paintings in their hands, and complained in his heart: "I say, you two old people, why do you eat sweets for no reason? Aren't you afraid of your teeth falling out?"

Ning Kuan had a strange look on his face, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: You're so bad, Yun Cheng, I thought you were as busy as me, so you seldom came to see me, but I didn't expect you to be out playing every day, leaving all the burden to me, Lao Zhu, and our son and daughter. You're so heartless!

"Why are you here?" Zhu Yuncheng coughed awkwardly and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Xie's face was sullen: "Human King, Ning Kuan and I have nothing to do at home after retirement."

Ning Kuan's heart suddenly jumped: I hope what Lao Zhu said will allow this kid to drag us back again!

"Oh oh oh!" Zhu Yuncheng nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is."

And then there was no further news. Zhu Yuncheng's eyes were fixed on the sugar painting.

Ningkuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Yuncheng had no intention of pulling him back to work. He picked up the sugar painting in his hand and took a bite, feeling the sweet feeling filling his mouth. Ningkuan's fat face was filled with happiness.

"Aren't you afraid of damaging your teeth when you eat sugar paintings?" Zhu Yuncheng asked Ning Kuan.

"Ahem." Ning Kuan coughed when he heard this. Zhu Xie replied, "Human King, Ning Kuan and I are still strong and healthy. We don't have any worries about this."

Zhu Yuncheng's face froze.

Ning Kuan's mouth paused.

The shopkeeper Huatanghua's hand trembled, and he looked up at the two old men, and then at the man in the black cloak in front of him: "Long live the human king?"

Zhu Yuncheng: "I am not, you are mistaken."

Zhu Xie was puzzled: "Why would the Human King lie? You are the Human King, why don't you show it openly?"

Ning Kuan looked at Zhu Yuncheng and laughed in his heart: Are you stupid? You usually like to go out with a cloak to pretend to be mysterious, and now you are exposed by Old Zhu. Let's see what you will do. When the Human King appears, there will definitely be people watching.

Zhu Yuncheng felt extremely helpless towards Zhu Xie, who had been upright all his life, and could only pull open his cloak to reveal his true face.

"Long live the Human King!" The shopkeeper was excited and was about to salute Zhu Yuncheng, but was stopped by the latter: "Don't salute, go and paint your sugar painting."

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper quickly returned to his seat, took a deep breath, tried to suppress his trembling arms and scooped up a spoonful of syrup.

Zhu Yuncheng glared at Zhu Xie unhappily: "What are you still doing here?"

"I'm eating candy here." Ning Kuan rolled his eyes inwardly and said while licking the sugar painting.

"I don't know where to go." Zhu Xie answered honestly.

Zhu Yuncheng looked at the two old men and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "If you don't know where to go, come and see the scenery on the city wall with me later."

The two old men did not refuse. At this time, the shop owner had already finished making two sugar paintings: "Long live the human king."

"Hey, six Moras, take them." Zhu Yuncheng threw down six Moras and took the candy man. The shopkeeper also quickly put the six Moras into his arms.

"Let's go." Zhu Yuncheng opened his cloak, handed the sugar painting of the wild forest boar to the little Ganyu in his arms, and then walked towards the city wall.

After the three of them arrived at the city wall, Zhu Yuncheng sat down facing the direction of Guili City and asked the other two to sit down as well.

Zhu Xie was fine, but Ning Kuan, a fat man weighing over 300 pounds, seemed very uncomfortable when sitting down, and it took him a long time to sit down.

After he sat down, Zhu Yuncheng pointed to a tall wooden building in Guili City and said, "What is that place?"

Ning Kuan raised his head and looked over there, carefully identifying it for a while: "Human King, that is the Qun Yu Pavilion."

"Qun Yu Pavilion." Zhu Yuncheng nodded, "Where is it?"

Zhu Xie also recognized it for a while and replied: "Human King, that is the Education Hall, the place responsible for formulating the annual education plan."

"Oh." Zhu Yuncheng nodded gently, "You rarely come to this city wall to see what's going on in Guili City, right?"

"Isn't that nonsense? I'm so busy on weekdays, how can I have the time?" Ning Kuan was speechless.

Zhu Xie did not speak, but listened to Zhu Yuncheng continue: "You can come here more often when you have time. The Qun Yu Pavilion, the Education Hall, the New School, the Commercial Street, these were all built little by little under your arrangement. The prosperity of Guili City and even the entire Guili is increasing, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The greatest credit goes to you two, and I am just the one who gave the orders."

Zhu Xie and Ning Kuan were moved, it seemed to be true, but why didn’t they know it before?

Zhu Yuncheng seemed to see through their doubts. He stood up and pointed in the direction outside the city: "Look over there."

The two stood up and turned back, returning to the outside of the city. There was a market that was only opened during the autumn harvest, and outside the market was a sea of ​​golden rice and wheat.

The sunlight shines through the rice waves, sparkling like thousands of golden grains dancing in the breeze, and each rice plant shines with the joy of a good harvest. The golden ears of wheat stand tall, like golden curtains, swaying gently in the breeze, exuding the fragrance of maturity.

"See? This is the farmland outside Guiliji. When farmers were working on these fields, they never thought about what a spectacular scene it would be when viewed from above." Zhu Yuncheng said, "Ning Pang, Lao Zhu, you two are similar in this matter."

Ning Kuan looked at the sea of ​​rice fields and wheat with a gleam in his eyes, then turned around to look at the bustling streets of Guili City, the shouting vendors on both sides of the streets, and the children reading loudly next to some of the vendors.

Seeing this scene, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, just like the first time he obtained rare treasures for his master Minghai Qixia Zhenjun and heard the latter praise him: happy and satisfied.

Ningkuan didn't know that this feeling is actually called a sense of honor.

Zhu Xie also had a strange emotion on his face. Zhu Yuncheng saw it and patted them on the shoulders. "You feel the emotion in your heart, right? This feeling is called a sense of honor. It is a sense of satisfaction from overcoming difficulties or achieving a certain goal. You have never felt it before. That's because the people of Guili put all this on the Emperor and me, and ignored you.

So, to compensate you, I decided to re-hire you!"

"What?" Ning Kuan blurted out subconsciously, then quickly closed his mouth.

Zhu Yuncheng said before Ning Kuan had any idea, "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go back to your original positions, but I'm going to give you a leisurely position. Just be a university scholar in the Education Hall and tell you about the history of Guili over the past thirty years. You can also talk about your achievements in the past thirty years. You don't have to attend classes every day. You can take classes two or three days a week on a seven-day cycle. The rest of the time is up to you."
