Chapter 68 Hu Li's Hometown Memories
A beautiful black-haired girl with clear eyes, wearing ill-fitting men's clothes, walking on the street and looking around curiously, holding a Gothic doll with its eyes open and exuding a weird atmosphere in her arms. Such a combination is really eye-catching in a crowded place - to be honest, Yu Sheng felt that he seemed to have underestimated the "difficulty" of taking Hu Li and Irene out at the same time.
He could no longer remember how many curious glances had swept over him along the way. Of course, some of the gazes were on Hu Li who was looking around, but the remaining half were looking at him.
But Yu Sheng still had to bite the bullet and accompany the fox girl next to him, because she really knew nothing.
She didn't even know what money looked like in this world - in fact, it was good enough that she knew that buying things cost money, and that was all thanks to the fact that she had lived in a civilized society many, many years ago.
On the other hand, the difference between the social order in Hu Li's memory and that of Jiecheng always brings unexpected troubles.
For example, when passing by a parking lot, she was particularly curious about why it was so quiet with so many "immortal cars" parked there, and why those cars were so patient - to be honest, when she first asked this question, Yu Sheng couldn't even react to what she meant.
"In my hometown, vehicles and boats all have spirits, and the spirits of vehicles are mostly fond of running and jumping, and most of them are unwilling to stay outside the mountain gate," Hu Li explained to Yu Sheng in a low voice, "So in our place, when immortals and demons go out and want to stay in a place, they will hand over the vehicles and boats to the manager, and the manager is responsible for taking the vehicles and boats to 'run' around. There is also a large venue with a small world inside, where you can put the vehicles and boats and let them run around and have fun. That's called a 'self-service parking lot'..."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at a car on the side of the road that looked like it was driven by a novice driver and had been unable to park in a parking space for a long time: "This is very dull. In our place, children's childhood friends will laugh at it."
Yu Sheng quickly pressed the fox girl's hand down: "This place is different from your hometown, don't point randomly."
Hu Li nodded in confusion, "Oh."
Yu Sheng silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly he was very curious about what the hometown of this fox girl looked like. When he first met Hu Li, he thought her hometown was the classic fairy and demon cultivation civilization, but then the tour guide fairy appeared, and then "hundreds of public security fairies rounded up the big demon fox that violated the mountain forest protection law and sentenced him to 500 years". Now even children's toys (baby horses) have artificial intelligence (device spirits). He felt a little confused and always felt that...
The style of this fox girl’s hometown is a little hard to imagine.
Is this something that could really be born in a normal universe? Unfortunately, Hu Li herself couldn't describe what her hometown looked like - not only because she was still very young when she left home, but also because of the long torture in a foreign land, she had long forgotten many things.
"I can't remember a lot of things, but I remember the old people saying that my hometown wasn't like that originally," Hu Li recalled the hometown that had long turned yellow and blurred in his mind, and told Yu Sheng as much as he could, "There was a powerful 'person from heaven' who suddenly came and enlightened the creatures on earth who were originally fighting endlessly. Then, after a long time, we lived a life of 'traveling billions of miles in a moment' with the person from heaven. I still remember the old people saying that the stars in the sky would change their positions every few years, which meant that the person from heaven was adjusting the waterway... My father also worked on the waterway. His job was to push out things that broke into the waterway and then give them tickets..."
At this point, the fox girl became a little excited: "My father can drive a very, very big 'immortal shuttle', which is bigger than a building! He said it is called 'Star Boat'. The spirit of the Star Boat is even more powerful. All you need to do is lie in a pool of the Star Boat and give orders to the spirit, and the thing will fly up. It can catch things that are faster than light, using a magic weapon called... the Moon Front Rao Duan Qi..."
Yu Sheng was stunned by what he heard. He turned his head to look at Irene, who was held in Hu Li's arms and pretending to be an ordinary doll, and muttered in his heart: "Can you understand?"
"I don't understand," Irene's voice came from Yu Sheng's heart, "Do you really take it seriously? She might just be talking nonsense... I suggest you wait two months until Hu Li's mental state is stable before asking her about these things. By then, the version might have changed again."
Yu Sheng frowned. He was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of the fantastic things described by Hu Li, but he also felt that if this girl was really still confused, she would not be able to make up such an imaginative and "ingeniously set" story.
But no matter what, everything that Hu Li described to Yu Sheng left a deep impression on him.
"Okay, don't think about it," Irene's voice came from the bottom of her heart, interrupting Yu Sheng's wild thoughts, "You should quickly change Hu Li into some normal clothes - it's time to challenge you."
When Yu Sheng heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter.
Many things always seem to go smoothly when we start planning, but once we have to consider the details during execution, the troublesome part begins.
How could he choose girls' clothes! He had never even been to a store that sold women's clothes! However, he had no choice but to go ahead - he was the one who said he wanted to adopt Hu Li in the first place, so there was no point in regretting it now.
But just when Yu Sheng led Hu Li into the mall with a resolute attitude as if they were ready to sacrifice themselves, a familiar figure suddenly flashed past their eyes.
She was a petite girl with short hair, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She pursed her lips, and had a silent and mature look that was slightly inconsistent with her age.
Yu Sheng didn't recognize the other person at first, he just felt that he seemed familiar. After two or three seconds, he realized where this sense of familiarity came from.
It was the girl who called herself "Little Red Riding Hood" - she was not wearing the dark red dress today, but a brightly colored coat, making her unrecognizable at first glance.
Yu Sheng immediately knew that he had met his savior.
At almost the same time, "Little Red Riding Hood" who was walking across the road also noticed the gazes falling on her, and she immediately raised her head - in a brief moment, her eyes were like those of an alert wolf.
But that wolf-like look was fleeting, so short that no one could notice it. She saw Yu Sheng's appearance clearly and a look of slight surprise appeared on her face.
Little Red Riding Hood quickly crossed the traffic and came over. She looked at Yu Sheng with a hint of surprise. After looking him up and down for several seconds, she blurted out, "...Are you buying something too?"
“…Is it weird that I come out to buy things?”
"Oh, sorry, it just feels like a coincidence." Little Red Riding Hood realized that her words were a bit inappropriate, and immediately bowed her head to apologize, but the doubt in her eyes did not diminish at all -
Because she already knew that Yu Sheng lived in a foreign place called No. 66 Wutong Road.
The moment she left that foreign land, she guessed that this "human" who called himself "Yu Sheng" was likely to have a worrying human quality, and that his extremely realistic human words and deeds were likely some kind of "mimicry."
She really didn't expect that she would actually see this "person" who had lived in a foreign land for a long time running out to buy things on the street.
...Could this guy possibly eat human food?

Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but have such an outrageous (in her opinion) idea in her mind.
Then she noticed Hu Li standing next to her and the doll in Hu Li's arms.
Little Red Riding Hood frowned slightly, and after a moment she recognized Hu Li's face. Then she raised her hand and pointed at Irene, who was motionless and even her eyes had lost their luster.
"This one, dead?"
Yu Sheng saw that Irene's eyes almost brightened up again - the doll moved slightly in Hu Li's arms, and then he heard the other party's fierce voice in his mind: "She is dead! She flew into the sky and exploded eight hundred times on the spot! She is %￥￥%# - Yu Sheng! Scold her! Scold her back for me!"
"She is scolding you," Yu Sheng raised his hand and pointed at Irene who still dared not move, and said to Little Red Riding Hood calmly, "It's so ugly. I'm a cultured person and I can't say it out loud."
Irene's curse suddenly became even harsher.
Little Red Riding Hood couldn't hear it either.
But she could imagine it.
"You guys are quite creative," she couldn't help but look Irene up and down several times, "You can actually bring her out openly in this way... By the way, judging from the situation you're in, are you going to buy her (referring to Hu Li) some clothes?"
"You got it right," Yu Sheng spread his hands and blocked out the beeping sound from Irene's side. "I was just worried and I didn't expect to see you - can you help me?"
"I can probably guess what I need to help with," Little Red Riding Hood took less than two seconds to react. She glanced at the obviously ill-fitting outfit on Hu Li, and a smile appeared on her face. "This... is indeed something I have never experienced before."
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up: "You agree?"
Little Red Riding Hood looked nonchalant: "Of course, it's just a piece of cake - but you have to do me a favor later."
