I was a charlatan in India

At this moment, Shenhe's gaze also fell on Mina's house.

Lately, he has been focusing most of his attention on repairing the factory, and has paid much less attention to Mina.

Shenhe only made an inspection every few days to prevent her from suddenly going into labor and causing a difficult delivery or something like that.

After all, Agni's growth was indeed too fast.

What if one day her belly bursts open with a "bang" and a giant baby pops out?

Speaking of which, why hasn't Mina's wish been fulfilled yet?

Even though she no longer needed to marry Dana, Shenhe had already arranged for Suliye to protect her.

Is there some other variable?

Shenhe examined her wishes.

By the way, Mina's idea was that she wouldn't marry into the family, but at the same time, her family wouldn't suffer huge losses.

...Could it be that the determination of this wish is to help Vasudiv eat at that restaurant in order to "avoid suffering losses"?

No, we need to clarify this quickly to avoid any unexpected problems.

"Bless me, and tell me the answer to this question."

This answer is cheap, after all, it's for the blessing.

"As you wish."

Soon, the answer came to Shenhe's mind.

After reading it, he quickly became agitated.

Damn it, I knew there was a trap in this mess!

Mina didn't want to marry into the family, but she also didn't want her father's carefully laid plans to fall through, or for her to bear the blame for betraying the family.

Goodness, you've got all the good things.

Even if Mina was very devout, Shenhe felt that she was somewhat greedy.

Shiva's followers are indeed all rather awkward.

Hmm? That's not right.

Shenhe suddenly discovered Huadian.

Mina's wish doesn't seem to focus on whether her family suffers any harm, but rather on preventing the blame for this mess from falling on her shoulders.

The key point is that she doesn't want to be the bad guy.

So it doesn't matter if your family is good or bad, as long as you want to play the innocent victim, right?

Shenhe's feelings for Mina have diminished.

This guess is actually very close to the truth, but it is somewhat extreme.

He underestimated Mina.

Although their ideas were indeed greedy, they weren't inherently that bad.

It's true that Mina doesn't want to be the villain, it's true that she doesn't want her family to suffer, and it's also true that she doesn't want to marry Dana.

She was simply resisting these terrible futures.

Furthermore, with Shenhe's response and protection, Mina gradually came to believe that Datian could save her.

With someone to rely on, one's aspirations for the future become more fulfilling.

Strictly speaking, this greedy desire was somewhat influenced by Shenhe.

But Shenhe, after all, came from a country where martial arts flourished, so it's only natural that he would think this way.

This is a cultural clash, not a matter of right or wrong.

In addition, from a certain perspective, Shenhe's thinking gradually revealed the arrogance brought about by divinity.

He began to unconsciously label his followers, truly acting like a high and mighty god.

As the power of his asceticism increased, Shenhe subconsciously began to simplify his believers, making arbitrary judgments and treating them as tools or even numbers.

If it were him in the first place, he certainly wouldn't have rejected Mina so easily; he would have even thought that such behavior was despicable.

The current Shenhe is simply unable to empathize with an ancient Indian girl trapped between family and faith.

This change happens gradually and subtly.

Of course, one's perspective does not affect the solution to the desire itself.

Shenhe still needs to tell Mina that this matter has nothing to do with her anymore, so that she can let go of her resentment.

This will be done in a moment; let's see what Vasudiv thinks first.

In that brief moment of distraction, the two were already discussing staffing arrangements.

At this moment, Dana was slowly and deliberately probing.

"...I can handle the assembly myself, but I will definitely need your help with shipping in a few days."

"Patriarch Vasudiv, as you know, all my funds are tied up in goods. With the recent surge in labor costs, it's simply unsustainable."

Upon hearing this, Vasudiv immediately made the decision.

"We're all family, no problem, no problem!"

Dana appeared to be seriously discussing business, but inwardly he was already sneering.

He had one more thing to say, but he didn't say it.

"Of course, once the goods are sold, all these manpower will be credited to me and will be returned to you from the profits."

There should be such a step.

Unexpectedly, Vasudiv finalized the deal immediately.

It seems there's something fishy going on here.

Normally, even if you lend something to someone, you should wait for them to state the return date. There's no reason to agree so hastily.

What's more, the other party is Vasudiv.

Although this guy isn't exactly shrewd, and is even somewhat foolish and blindly confident, he's incredibly tenacious when it comes to interests.

Run, we have to run fast.

Dana no longer cared about his glass wine jug.

After the business was over, it was just some pointless small talk.

Shenhe got bored after watching for a while and then went to talk about Jiemina.

This is so annoying, let's just end this.

As the oracle sounded in Mina's ears, the wish that had bound her to Shenhe was finally released.

As Shenhe roughly cut the line, Mina's tense nerves relaxed.

But what followed was not joy, but a strange sense of emptiness.

She felt a little lost, as if something that had always supported her was quietly disappearing.

Mina's wish is greedy, but it's definitely not "wanting everything".

She simply didn't want to lose anything.

But God doesn't care.

The Shen River's favor on Saraswati has temporarily come to an end.

He himself felt something was a little off, but this strange feeling was like the plastic tag inside the collar of his clothes; he got used to it after wearing it for a while.

at the moment……

Aside from ensuring Agni's safe birth, all that remains is to accumulate enough power for arduous cultivation to overthrow the golden light within the space.

Then, after accumulating some power through arduous cultivation, he transforms into a little superhero and returns to the modern world to enjoy life.

Yes, Shenhe's small goal remains unchanged.

What's the point of being a god? Go back...

Uh, and Arti and Agni too, we should take them with us. Isn't the modern world safer than here?

Speaking of which, if a little girl and a child suddenly appear next to me, won't they mistake me for a bad guy...?

No, by then I'll be a little superhero, why would I be afraid of this?

...Shenhe has already begun to envision the future.

He was even thinking about school district housing and household registration issues.

He himself was unaware of the absurdity of using mundane planning to mask his great power.

Shenhe today is like a child who has received the nuclear button, and is seriously worried about whether pressing it will soil his new clothes.

As for the erosion of divinity...

Although he had some awareness and had experienced fear and worry, he clearly did not understand how thorny this problem was.

A perfect god would live as the believer imagines.

It may be sublime, it may be perfect, but it will never again be the "Shenhe" it is today.

What's even more frightening is that this worry itself is gradually fading away.

The power of asceticism is very useful and not even difficult to obtain.

But everything comes at a price.

A large dust storm swept through Varanasi, and the sun was exceptionally scorching.

At noon, people had to wrap themselves in rough linen to protect themselves from the sun, which could make them sweat within minutes.

At night, the chill seeps out from the river surface and the cracks in the rocks, and even hiding under a shawl, you'll shiver with cold.

This is the time of year when we need to cope with the temperature differences the most, and the rhythm of the whole city is also quietly adjusted in this alternation of cold and warmth.

Residents are accustomed to adding clothes at dawn and dusk and keeping earthenware jars at home to store enough drinking water to cope with the changing seasons.

They could only seize the opportune time to trade and work, waiting for the upcoming grand event.

The full moon festival of Magadha is approaching.
