After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

It was Danzhu and Cangxuan who taught Fu Hua the basics of cooking at the beginning of the current era of civilization. Then, after guarding the Divine Land for thousands of years, Fu Hua remembered the recipes of many dishes thanks to the ability to remember everything she saw, given by the Garuda factor. Finally, she honed her skills over a long period of time.

"In the current timeline, Fu Hua still knows Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan because of Mebius, but lacking the accumulation of time, her cooking skills are only so-so that they won't kill anyone... well, she's probably only at the level of being able to make immortality spring and steamed buns."

An Liang shrugged and said with a subtle expression.

To be honest, he had wanted to complain about Fu Hua's immortality for a long time.

Fu Hua's attitude towards cooking is similar to his; when cooking for herself, she tends to be perfunctory, and she does it even more thoroughly than An Liang.

At least he knows how to do it in some different ways.

Regardless of which timeline Fu Hua is in, she always prefers to eat steamed buns with the help of the Spring Immortal when she's eating alone, and this doesn't change regardless of her cooking skills.

"Thank goodness Xiao Shi is here, otherwise I'm worried that in this world without the Collapse, Fu Hua would eat the Eternal Youth Elixir every day until she becomes malnourished..."

Anliang complained while pondering what to eat for breakfast.

A few minutes later, An Liang, unable to find anything suitable for breakfast among the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator, turned his attention to the jar of unfinished Spring Immortal given to him by Fu Hua.

"Well, looks like I'll have to eat some Spring Immortal Steamed Buns this morning too."

Anliang spread his hands helplessly.

However, instead of Fu Hua eating it directly, he did some processing. He fried an extra egg, cut the steamed bun in half, and then sandwiched it with Spring Immortal, making it look like a hamburger.

"Hmm, the pickled spring greens retain their tender, crisp texture and lose the bitterness of leafy greens. Paired with steamed buns and fried eggs, and served with a glass of milk, it tastes pretty good!"

An Liang finished the simple breakfast in a few bites, patted his stomach, and gave a neutral review.

As long as you don't eat it every day like Fu Hua, it's not bad to try it once in a while!

"After eating and drinking my fill, I'll rest for a bit and then go grocery shopping... Hmm, why is my phone ringing?"

An Liang stretched and was about to say something when his phone on the table vibrated.

He assumed that only Alicia would message him so early in the morning, so Anliang casually picked up his phone.

However, his expression changed slightly after glancing at the message.

[Seele: Um... Is Anliang there? (0v0)っ]

[Seele: Are you free this morning? Seele has something she'd like to ask you.]

[Seele: If you don't want Bronya to find the photos, reply to Seele immediately when you see this message, okay?!]

[Seele: Oh dear, my other self wasn't very nice, I'm sorry. (＞︿＜)]

"It was probably Bai Xier who started sending the message, and then Hei Xier chimed in. Was she afraid I wouldn't reply and would just run away?"

Anliang tapped his fingers lightly on the screen, trying to guess the girl's intentions.

Because of yesterday's farce, he was a little worried that the yandere Black Seele would cause some more trouble, but now it was the innocent and kind White Seele who came to him, so there shouldn't be any problems...

After all, among the Valkyries of the Hyperion, White Seele is the one with the best personality and the easiest to deceive. If it weren't for Black Seele, Anliang would even be confident that he could trick White Seele into having a whole football team of babies for him.

From this perspective, he could understand why Black Seele treated the opposite sex who appeared around White Seele with such fierceness, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

If she isn't overprotected like this, Bai Xier could easily be harmed by bad people.

"Conversely, if Black Seele has no objections and you just talk nonsense, White Seele will really drag you into the room to make babies..."

Anliang recalled the time he spent with Xier in that reincarnation, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He was just making casual teasing remarks, wanting to see Hei Xier's embarrassed and coquettish reaction. However, Hei Xier remained silent, which was unusual for her, while Bai Xier took the teasing seriously and began to push him down with a shy expression.

"Bai Xier's overly innocent and naive personality can sometimes make her seem cunning!"

Anliang rubbed his temples, trying to pull his thoughts away from the memories of the past.

He already has a fiancée, so he definitely won't make suggestive remarks to Bai Xier. There's no need to worry about the cycle of reincarnation repeating itself. He just needs to treat Bai Xier kindly like an ordinary person.

With that in mind, Anliang began replying to the girl's messages.

[Anliang: Yes, Seele, is there something you need my help with?]

[Seele: Hmm, since I'm going to be in charge of Bronya's three meals a day from now on, I wanted to ask about the location of the market in Sky City, and which stalls have better ingredients... I asked Qingque first, but she said you're more familiar with those things.]

[Seele: Please help me, Mr. Anliang! (。í _ ì。)]

"Buying groceries? What a coincidence... But for Seele, who has to cook for Bronya every day, it's perfectly reasonable to want to familiarize herself with the grocery store first."

Anliang, unaware of the problem, readily replied.

Anliang: No problem, I was just about to buy groceries anyway, let's go together!

[Seele: Thank you so much! See you later! (。'▽'。)]

PS: The first half of the chapter seems to be about the immortals, but it's actually Seele's turn! I have to say, Seele is currently the most agile of the Valkyries. Not only did she backstab Bronya, but she also has a dual personality, which is equivalent to two against one, allowing her to attack without any scruples... However, a certain pink fairy is already standing at the finish line, freely tossing the captain's hot dog. Hehe, it's really hard to say which side is pure love!

Chapter 117 Seele Doesn't Want a Dowry!

The morning market was bustling with crowds.

Vegetable vendors from the countryside pointed at the fresh vegetables on the stalls, assuring them that they hadn't been sprayed with pesticides or fertilized with chemical fertilizers. The elderly men and women haggled skillfully, haggling over even a single scallion for ages. There were even anglers who had caught a great catch while night fishing, showing off their success and selling off their extra catch...

"The vegetable markets in China are really lively, just like a festival!"

The girl blinked her beautiful blue eyes and looked at the shops and stalls lining both sides of the road. The smells of fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, beef and mutton, as well as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, mingled with the shouts of the vendors, creating a strong atmosphere of everyday life.

Although they are all very ordinary scenes, when put together, they give people a vivid feeling.

"A large number of people makes it lively, and Tianqiong City has one of the largest populations in China, which means that the vegetable market is like a bustling fair every day... Well, at first glance it seems quite novel, but after you get used to it you may find that it is quite troublesome to squeeze into the vegetable market with so many people to buy vegetables."

Anliang heard Xier's sigh and turned around to speak.

The two had already bought the ingredients. Anliang led the way, using his strength to part the crowd so that the girl behind him could walk more easily.

"I see. Such a situation is rarely seen in Siberia or the Far East."

Sher carried several bags of groceries in each hand, following closely behind. Her everyday white shirt, blue vest, and short skirt made her look cute yet elegant, like a younger sister accompanying her brother to buy groceries.

"Abroad, people usually buy groceries at supermarkets."

Anliang bought several times more groceries than Xier, her arms were covered in them. "Actually, there's a supermarket near the studio, you can buy groceries there if you want."

To be honest, he was initially a little puzzled as to why Seele didn't go to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Compared to wet markets, supermarkets are cleaner and more hygienic. The ingredients are all prepared and neatly arranged on the counter. You can come and buy them anytime without having to haggle. Just pick what you want, pay, and leave. It's incredibly convenient.

"Well, Qingque said that supermarkets have fewer kinds of ingredients and they are not as fresh as those in the wet market, so I'd like to go to the wet market when I have time."

Seele said with a smile, her reasoning impeccable.

But only the girl herself knew that the reason she didn't go to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries was simply because that way she couldn't ask the captain out!

"That's true. Supermarkets in China mainly sell common ingredients, and the quality is generally average. Excellent ingredients such as rare mountain products, wild river delicacies, and natural vegetables can only be found in farmers' markets."

Trusting Bai Xier, An Liang had no doubts and walked along with a smile, saying this.

"So, thank you so much, Anliang, for today."

The girl looked at the captain's back, which was so close to her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said gratefully without changing her expression, "If I were to do it myself, I definitely wouldn't be able to buy so many good ingredients. Just finding the vegetables I wanted would be difficult enough."

"No need to be so polite, I was planning to come and buy groceries today anyway."

An Liang sighed with admiration that Bai Xier was still so polite. He smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, it's not like I didn't get a good deal. With Xier here, it was much easier for me to bargain."

Anliang was not joking.

Seele's appearance is gentle, delicate, and innocent, like a delicate doll that makes people feel sorry for her. She perfectly fits the image of a well-behaved daughter in the public's ideal, and is a special target for the uncles and aunts selling vegetables.

Anliang usually has to go to great lengths to get a discount of 50 cents from the vegetable vendors.

All Seele had to do was blink her big, bright eyes, look embarrassed, and timidly ask if the vendors could give her a discount. The vegetable vendors would then give her the biggest discount with a kind look on their faces, and even give her a few scallions as a bonus.

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. It's just that the uncles and aunties selling vegetables are very nice people."

Hearing Anliang's praise, Xier modestly shook her head, but her eyebrows unconsciously curved into crescent shapes, outlining a pure and lovely smile.

Bai Xier is indeed still the little angel he knows. No wonder she receives preferential treatment even when it comes to grocery shopping!

Anliang glanced back and took in the girl's smiling face, then couldn't help but chuckle helplessly.

He recalled bringing Alicia to the grocery store, where the pink fairy could easily get the biggest discount thanks to her flawless appearance and enthusiastic words. Besides, Gretchen had also received the same treatment once when she curiously went grocery shopping with him.

When he came alone, he tried his best but couldn't get the vegetable prices to be cut any further.

This world is way too nice to cute girls... Or is it that adult men really have a lower social status than dogs?!

An Liang's thoughts wandered, and before he knew it, he had walked out of the market and arrived at the parking lot.

Since he planned to buy a lot of groceries, Anliang simply drove Alicia's car, which made it convenient for him to take Xier with him to buy groceries.

but……

Unaware of the inside story, Seele looked at the pink car and assumed that the captain's preferences had changed in this life. She hesitated for a while before asking the question she had wanted to ask from the beginning.

"Anliang, your car seems to have a rather girly style?"

"Well, because this is actually my fiancée's car. If I were to buy one, I would prefer a powerful off-road vehicle with a mechanical aesthetic."

Anliang shrugged and helped the girl put the groceries he had bought into the trunk.

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough money right now. I still need to save money to prepare for the wedding. I probably won't be able to afford an SUV for several years."

The captain doesn't have much money, which can be guessed from the fact that he was willing to work as an artist in Bronya's newly established small studio, but he's saving money to prepare for the wedding...

Seele pondered the information Anliang had inadvertently revealed, and even Black Seele, who had been observing from the sidelines, came out to help analyze it in the consciousness space.

"It seems there's a custom of bride price in China. Is Anliang saving up money to hold a wedding because his fiancée is asking for a lot of bride price?"

Seele asked the question seemingly casually, but a hint of anticipation rose in her heart.

Because the captain is from China, Seele has a lot of knowledge about China and knows that many couples break up because of dowry issues.

If the captain's fiancée demands an exorbitant dowry...

Seele could start from this point, making the captain realize how bad a high dowry is for marriage, creating distance between him and his fiancée, and then gradually making him fall in love with someone else.

Finally, let me tell you, Captain, many women from Siberia marry into China without asking for a dowry, and she can even get Bronya to give her a large dowry. I'm sure you'll be tempted!

Seele pursed her lips slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, already having figured out how to win over the captain.

Unaware of the girl's thoughts, Anliang opened the car door and answered casually.

"Dowry? No, no, no, I'm not saving money to prepare for the wedding for that."

“My fiancée is not from China and has no intention of asking for a bride price. On the contrary, after hearing about the concept of a dowry, she plans to provide an extravagant dowry to support me for the rest of my life.”

P.S.: While writing, it suddenly occurred to me that in reality, many people choose to marry Russian women because of the issue of bride price... So, could a blue-haired, cute-looking Russian woman with a love for butterflies and a dual personality, whose older sister runs a game company, descend into the author's life?

Chapter 118 She is the fantasy that shattered the Milky Way and fell into my dream.

"Being...kept?!"

Seele's eyes widened, and her voice rose several decibels.

The girl, who had just been pondering how much dowry she should ask Bronya to impress the captain, suddenly became extremely solemn, as if she had heard some devastating news.

Seele thought that she would be very attractive to the captain, who was from Shenzhou, because she didn't ask for a dowry and could even provide a bride price. However, she never expected that the enemy had already done this, and was even more ruthless, directly turning against the Heavenly Gang and planning to keep the captain as a mistress!

"Um, is Anliang's fiancée very rich?"

Seele tried to calm the turmoil in her heart, pursed her lips slightly, and asked with a curious expression.

Anliang sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and answered with a wry smile.

"Yes, she's incredibly wealthy, hundreds of times richer than me. Plus, she has a best friend who's richer than a country. The balance in her bank account is something I could never spend in a lifetime, no matter how hard I tried."

Alicia, a well-known video blogger, easily earns tens of millions of yuan every year.

Eden is a top global celebrity, whose wealth is comparable to that of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

But Destiny and Anti-Entropy are massive organizations, among the world's top conglomerates. It is truly astonishing that Eden could stand on equal footing with them based on his personal wealth.

As for why Anliang included Eden when discussing Alicia's wealth...

That's because, given the close relationship between Alicia and Eden, Eden could genuinely give Alicia his wealth as a dowry.

In fact, this wealthy woman from the Golden Courtyard had already hinted at her relationship with Alicia on several occasions after they started dating.
