I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 194

"Liu Yun didn't come? How could that be! The two of us went to Aozang Mountain specifically to look for her, but her cave door was closed and no one was home."

"She is still in seclusion."

"Retreat?"

"Don't you know? A few days ago, Liu Yun went to test her new mechanism, but accidentally blew herself back to her original form and had to start over in her cultivation."

"What kind of organization is this?"

“I heard from Shen He that she must have concentrated the power of seven different elements and mixed them together in an instant, triggering an elemental reaction at the same time.”

"..."

The two True Lords had a headache.

This crazy woman!

"By the way, you just mentioned Shen He, has she arrived yet?"

“Shen He went down the mountain last month and has been staying in Liyue ever since. Liu Yun hopes that she can reintegrate into the world, and Liyue, which is now governed by humans, needs someone like her.”

"That being said, given her overly pure personality, I'm afraid she'll have a hard time getting along with ordinary people."

“She found a job on her first day down the mountain and has been working there ever since without any incidents.”

"..."

The two True Lords were taken aback.

"What job?"

"She is a waiter at a small beverage shop."

"Waiter? Isn't that kind of job... I'm not saying it's bad... no job is inherently superior or inferior... but waiters don't earn much, do they?"

"As far as I know, she only earns a little over 20,000 yuan a month now."

"?..."

The two True Lords remained silent.

"Are waitresses in Liyue so popular these days?"

"Not really, it's just that the store she works at is doing quite well."

"How good can a beverage shop, not a pub, be?"

"Exactly, is the boss paying such a high wage because he has ulterior motives towards Shen He?"

"That's not the case. I know the owner. The Emperor often goes to that shop for drinks. Yao Yao also works part-time there in the afternoons now."

"!..."

The two True Lords exchanged a glance.

"So, where is that beverage shop?"

"We still need to see it for ourselves, otherwise we won't feel at ease."

Grandma Ping smiled.

"It's right next to the Hall of Rebirth, you can go there."

The two True Lords nodded and left together.

Grandma Ping waited until they were far away, then chuckled softly to herself, "I forgot to tell them that there might be a queue at the small shops at this time of day in the summer. They should have gone to Wanmintang to eat first. Sigh, I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be..."

Before long, the two True Lords stood in the long queue, their faces full of surprise.

This business is ridiculously good.

There's probably something fishy going on at this beverage shop.

The two of them weren't in a hurry, and slowly joined the queue. They found that the line was moving quite fast, and they could see that many people were carrying their cups with them.

Do I have to buy a cup to drink a beverage? And there are people outside shouting that they'll buy them at high prices.

This beverage shop seems to be using a very new business model.

interesting.

Finally, it was their turn, and Qiqi was the one to receive them.

They looked at her, this "old friend," and their expressions became somewhat strange.

"Two guests, please follow me."

"Ah."

"Please have a seat. Would you like to dine in or order takeout?"

“Dine in.”

Two drinks per person?

"Correct."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Qiqi turned and left.

The two True Lords spoke in hushed tones.

"Something seems off about her."

"No, that's not right. Her condition is too normal; she doesn't seem like a zombie."

"Didn't you seal her inside amber back then?"

"Perhaps too much time has passed, and the seal has become ineffective."

Suddenly, a clear, melodious little girl's voice rang out.

"Uncle Lishui! Uncle Xiaoyue! You're here!"

The two True Lords immediately raised their heads, revealing kind smiles on their faces.

"Yao Yao."

"Did you come today?"

"Yes, we just arrived a little while ago. We heard that Shen He and you were here, so we came to check on you."

"How's it going, Yao Yao, working part-time here?"

"very good!"

"Yes, but you should still focus on your cultivation."

"Yaoyao knows! Uncle Lishui! Uncle Xiaoyue! Yaoyao will go get you some snacks!"

Yao Yao went to the kitchen.

The two True Lords were quite pleased to see how sensible Yao Yao was.

Shen He noticed them at this moment, walked over, and bowed to them: "Shen He greets the two True Lords."

True Lord Lishui nodded: "No need for formalities."

The True Lord of the Moon asked her, "What insights have you gained since descending the mountain?"

Shen He paused for a moment, then said, "It feels... nice here."

She answered that this place is good, not that Liyue is good; there is a difference between the two sentences.

The two True Lords had already made up their minds, and smiled as they told her to go about her business, since it was her working hours.

A moment later, Qiqi brought over the juice, and Yaoyao also brought over a plate of dorayaki that her older brother had just made at noon.

Yao Yao even helped pay the bill; she's quite wealthy now.

The two True Lords suddenly felt as if Yao Yao had received her first paycheck to give to her elders.

A little cotton-padded jacket is always so thoughtful.

Therefore, they need to investigate this store more carefully, and absolutely cannot let Yao Yao work under someone with ulterior motives.

Take a sip of the juice first.

Hmm? This smell...

The Emperor certainly has good taste!

Take another bite of the dessert.

Hmm? Delicious...

I wonder which store you bought it from?

The two True Lords had been traveling for two days and were now somewhat hungry and thirsty, so they ate in silence.

Only after finishing their snacks and juice did they begin to carefully observe Xia Zhi behind the table.

Is he the owner of this small shop?

"Do you see anything?"

"It feels quite ordinary."
