I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 157

After dinner, Shen He went to wash the dishes, while Zhu Zi enthusiastically taught him the rules of 77 Mahjong.

If Qiqi were still in that dazed and innocent state she was in when they first met, she would have had a hard time learning. Fortunately, Qiqi has now regained her senses and, after studying for a while, she has memorized all the rules.

A light rain was falling outside the shop.

The crisp sound of mahjong tiles clattering filled the shop.

Without Gan Yu, Xia Zhi, with his god-like perspective and the best luck, was invincible in this ordinary game. However, he didn't care about winning or losing; he just focused on controlling the water temperature.

With his deliberate feeding of cards, Qiqi became the one who won the most cards.

Qiqi didn't have many friends before. Only Yaoyao would come to play with her. Most of the time, she would sit alone under the tree in the backyard watching the little sparrows.

This was the first time she had experienced the joy of playing a multiplayer game. The tension of waiting for the right hand, the joy of winning, the amazement of her friends, and the relaxed atmosphere all gradually drew her in, and a happy smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Mahjong is so much fun.

Before we knew it, it was late at night.

The rain outside was still falling, and it was getting heavier.

Listening to the noisy rain outside the shop, Xia Zhi said, "Miss Qiqi, it's not convenient for you to go back in such heavy rain. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

Qiqi was stunned.

Zhu Zi nodded and said, "That's right, you'll definitely get soaked if you go back in this heavy rain. The roads are all muddy and difficult to walk on. You can sleep here with us tonight. Anyway, you have to continue your part-time job tomorrow, so you won't have to run around! There are two empty rooms upstairs, both of which have been cleaned. I have extra clean sheets in my room, which are brand new sheets that no one has slept on. You can use them for now."

Qiqi glanced at the heavy rain outside the shop. Although she was a zombie and not afraid of such bad weather, if she really forced herself to go back, she was afraid she would be soaked to the bone and look extremely disheveled.

She doesn't need to gather herbs tomorrow, so it's fine if she doesn't go back. It's perfectly normal for her to stay at a friend's house for the night.

Qi Qi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Then I'll have to bother you."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "There's no need to disturb her. Although Miss Qiqi is only working part-time, she is still considered an employee of our store. Providing meals and accommodation is an employee benefit, so there's no need to be polite."

Zhu Zi stood up and said, "Boss, I'll go upstairs to tidy up the room and make the bed."

"Ah."

Shen He also stood up, put away the mahjong tiles, and said, "I'll boil the water tonight."

"Ah."

A moment later, only Xia Zhi and Qi Qi remained sitting opposite each other at the table.

"Seventh Sister".

"Mr. Xia?"

"Is there anything you'd like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"Ah... I'm fine with anything... as long as it's made by Mr. Xia... I'll be very satisfied just to be able to taste it again..."

"Then let's have fried rice with eggs for breakfast tomorrow."

"Ok."

“It’s raining so hard.”

"Yes."

"This weather is a bit unusual."

"unusual?"

"Well, in my hometown, autumn rains are usually not this continuous and torrential, but this is by the sea, and affected by the monsoon, so it's hard to say..."

Xia Zhi had something else on his mind that he didn't say aloud.

He recalled the scene he had seen in his dream last night.

Ausel's heads emerged from the sea, and the demonic power they emitted alone influenced the celestial phenomena of that region.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, wind and rain raged, and the sea surged.

If something like Oser were to approach Liyue Harbor, its power could likely cause the strange weather of continuous heavy rain we see today.

But Morax is still in Liyue, so there shouldn't be any demon gods daring to approach this place, right?

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Does Miss Qiqi want to take a bath tonight?"

Qiqi was a little embarrassed: "I...didn't bring any clothes..."

This is indeed a bit of a problem. Zhu Zi and Shen He's clothes are too big for Qi Qi, and she can't wear them at all.

Fortunately, the weather was cool today, and Qiqi was wearing the [Corpse Bead], so she didn't sweat at all...

Wait, do zombies sweat?

Xia Zhi looked at Qi Qi's clothes, which were a bit old but very clean, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The night was deeper.

Xia Zhi, Zhu Zi, and Shen He have all gone back to their rooms to sleep.

Qiqi sat alone on the edge of the neatly made bed, looking at the tidy room in the light of the four-panel lamp, her expression somewhat dazed.

She is a zombie.

Actually, you don't need to sleep.

You can also sleep, but you won't dream once you enter a deep sleep.

On a table not far away was an incense burner, inside which incense was burning, emitting a reassuring fragrance.

Next to the incense burner was a plate with some strawberry daifuku on it, which looked very tempting.

Mr. Xia brought these over before going to bed. He seemed worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so he specially found some things for her to keep her entertained.

Qiqi sat there in a daze for a while, then walked over and took a deep breath of the incense.

Then she picked up a daifuku with one hand, carefully supporting the bottom with the other, making sure not to drop any rice flour crumbs on the ground, and took a small bite.

Soft, sticky, and sweet.

So delicious...

Qiqi couldn't help but squint her eyes in enjoyment.

Just as I was about to take my second bite.

Qiqi suddenly felt a strange aura of yin and death approaching.

She turned around and saw a white shadowy figure standing in the closed doorway.

She was a very beautiful woman.

She has delicate features, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a slender figure, and skin as white as snow.

He also exudes a mature and composed demeanor.

The strange woman was staring at the strawberry daifuku in her hand with a wide, surprised look.

Qiqi thought for a moment and then asked her.

Do you want some?

Chapter 152 A Very Beautiful Older Sister (Bonus Chapter)

The next morning, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared.

Xia Zhi had just come downstairs when Qi Qi came looking for him.

"Seven Seven, you said you saw a ghost last night?"

"Yes."

"What kind of ghost is it?"

"A very beautiful older sister."

"She didn't do anything to you, did she?"

"No, I treated her to strawberry daifuku, which she really liked and was very happy about. We chatted for a long time."

"and then?"

"As dawn approached, she suddenly disappeared into the wall."

“I understand. There were rumors of this house being haunted before I bought it, but there has never been a case of ghosts harming people. Besides, the ancestral hall is right next door, so Miss Qiqi doesn’t need to worry.”

"Um……"

Before long, Zhu Zi and Shen He returned from grocery shopping.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and decided not to tell the two girls about Qi Qi's encounter with the female ghost last night. He planned to have a proper conversation with the female ghost tonight.

Breakfast was golden fried rice with eggs.

Qiqi loves to eat, and she eats very carefully. She will even carefully pick up and eat the rice grains that accidentally fall on the table.

This is not just frugality, but a different kind of greed.

Xia Zhi felt a pang of sadness watching this scene.

Before the 77th anniversary, I lived a really hard life.
