Logically, she shouldn't have gone to the Demon Palace. After all, the Lotus Realm only had two children, Hua Xingcheng and Li Yuan, plus Hua Xinglian, who hadn't regained her original memories. During the time she was away, danger was highly likely. Furthermore, although the Star God and Li Yuan disappeared in the Demon Palace, where would she even begin to search for them after she left…?
With this in mind, the Flower Goddess temporarily abandoned her plan to go to the Demon Palace and set off back to the Lotus Realm.
But when they returned to Lotus Realm, they didn't find Hua Xingcheng and Li Yuan...
The Flower Goddess looked at Hua Xinglian, who was sitting alone on the swing, and asked softly, "Where are Cheng'er and Su'er?"
Hua Xinglian looked at the Flower Goddess, paused for a moment on the swing in her hand, and said, "They said they were going to the human realm to have some fun, so I stayed here to tell you, so you wouldn't worry."
The Flower Goddess was taken aback, a hint of doubt in her mind: Going to the human realm... why would she suddenly go to the human realm...?
It turns out that after the Flower Goddess left, Hua Xingcheng and the others lost their desire to just play in the Lotus Realm. It is said that children under the supervision of their families will behave well, but once they are out of sight, their mischievous nature will be revealed.
No sooner had the Flower Goddess left than Hua Xingcheng dragged Li Su away, wanting to leave the Lotus Realm and find a place to visit.
Li Su suddenly remembered his master, the Immortal Physician, who had traveled the mortal world and practiced medicine before ascending to immortality. He had told him about the prosperity and excitement of the human realm, and Li Su longed to experience it for himself.
Now that we have this opportunity, why don't we go on a trip to the human world with Hua Xingcheng?
Thinking this through, Li Su made a suggestion. Hua Xingcheng was naturally tempted by what Li Su said. Not to mention that he himself was a playful person, he was also full of curiosity and longing for the place that Li Su mentioned.
With that in mind, the two decided to go to the human realm. They looked at Hua Xinglian, who was not interested in the matter and decided to stay in the Lotus Realm to inform the Flower Goddess when she returned.
Meanwhile, Hua Xingcheng and Li Su arrived in the human world through the teleportation array of the God Realm, and the bustling and prosperous scene immediately attracted their attention.
Hua Xingcheng gazed at the crowds coming and going, the dazzling array of goods, food and drinks, and the endless stream of pedestrians and vehicles.
This is much more lively than the realm of gods!
Suddenly, Hua Xingcheng was drawn by a sweet aroma. He followed the scent and saw an elderly man with a white beard standing at a small stall on the street. The old man was skillfully skewering candied hawthorns. The finished candied hawthorns were crystal clear, with a thin layer of transparent sugar coating each tempting red fruit, like tiny specks of light gathered on a ruby.
Hua Xingcheng couldn't help but swallow hard.
Although he didn't know what it was, he... really wanted to eat it...
The old man at the stall seemed to notice Hua Xingcheng's gaze. He placed the candied hawthorns he had already made one by one on the gourd rack and warmly greeted Hua Xinglian, "Little friend, would you like a skewer of candied hawthorns? They're so sweet, they'll warm your heart."
Hua Xingcheng patted his pockets and shook his head; he had no money.
Even before he came here, he had heard Li Su say that in the human world, everything had to be bought with something called "money".
They naturally had no money.
The old man smiled kindly, picked up a string of candied hawthorns from the side, and said to Hua Xingcheng, "This string is a gift from Grandpa. Here, have some."
Hua Xingcheng was somewhat at a loss. Just as he was about to step forward to take the money and express his gratitude, he was stopped by Li Su, who was standing to the side.
"What's wrong?" Hua Xingcheng asked, puzzled.
He was about to eat some sweet candied hawthorns, and they weren't even charging him; they were giving them to him for free. Why did they stop him...?
Li Suchong and Hua Xingcheng shook their heads and said, "My master once told me that some stories say that it's best not to eat things given by strangers, as they may be poisonous and you wouldn't even know if they sold you out."
Hua Xingcheng glanced at the old man selling candied hawthorns again. Seeing that the old man was still holding up his candied hawthorns and looking at him with a smile, seemingly unaffected by Li Su's words, he said to Li Su with some annoyance, "No way! Look at this old man, he's so kind. How could he poison people like you said? Besides... there are so many people on the street, it's obvious he's selling this kind of food here. Why would he harm anyone?"
Hua Xingcheng pulled Li Su's hand away, stepped forward to take the candied hawthorn, and turned back to say, "Brother Su, don't scare me. It's not as dangerous as you say..."
Li Su looked at Hua Xingcheng, who had just accepted the candied hawthorn, and felt somewhat helpless. She watched as Hua Xingcheng took the first bite, seemingly unaffected, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He's probably overthinking it...
