I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 249

Xia Zhi was a little suspicious; she wasn't sure if the "outside" she was referring to meant the street or Shen He's room next door. But Shen He had been holding back a lot last night, so he shouldn't have made any noise.

"It's good that you slept well."

The Great Tree King looked out the window and sighed softly, "Liyue is truly prosperous now."

"right."

"As expected of Morax."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, but still didn't tell her directly that her old colleague, Lord Yan, actually lived next door, and that he would come to the shop for juice every afternoon.

Consider it a surprise for her.

Chapter 231 The Perfect Chat Partner

"Boss, we're back from grocery shopping!"

"Well, hard work."

"Oh? And who is this young lady?"

"Let me introduce you. She is my cousin, Xia Ci, who ran away from her hometown to find me."

"They're actually the boss's relative!?"

The Great Tree King, with its slightly pale face, gave a warm smile and greeted everyone softly: "Hello everyone."

"Hello there!"

"Xia Ci will also be staying at our shop from now on. She's not in good health, so please take good care of her."

"Okay! Boss!"

After introducing them to each other, Xia Zhi went into the kitchen to start making breakfast.

A short while later, he heard the girls' laughter coming from outside.

As expected of a wise and insightful ruler with a friendly demeanor, he has established good relationships with everyone so quickly.

Breakfast consisted of red bean and lily porridge and steamed buns, all made with exceptional ingredients.

With the master chef's culinary skills, the taste is naturally excellent.

The Great Compassion Tree King drank a bowl of porridge and ate two steamed buns. Her appetite was not bad, but her pale complexion did not improve significantly.

It seems that even extraordinary ingredients of this level are not enough to replenish the power she has lost.

After breakfast, Shen He cleared the dishes from the table and took them to the kitchen to wash.

Zhu Zi couldn't help but glance at Shen He, feeling that she seemed different today. Her gaze, expression, movements, and posture all seemed to have become gentler, even with a touch of alluring charm...

Well, I guess it's because I stayed up late writing my novel last night and woke up too quickly this morning...

When the shop opened in the morning, Xia Zhi handed over the task of making juice to Diona and took Shen He out to go next door to ask the owner about the transfer of the shop.

When I got there, I found a bunch of people next door moving things out.

Looks like they're moving?

Xia Zhi asked around and learned that the shop had just been sold by the landlord the night before.

They arrived a step too late.

My luck is a bit bad... Wait a minute, my luck is pretty high right now... Even if I don't wish for everything to come true, things should at least be going smoothly... Could it be that I used up all my good luck last night when I went back in time to save the Great Tree King?

The new homeowner may not be willing to sell, and the newly acquired shop may not be easily given up.

It's a bit troublesome.

I estimate it will cost more.

Forget it, let's wait until the new homeowner comes over.

Xia Zhi shook his head and led Shen He back to the shop. He saw the Great Tree King sitting in the corner, holding a glass of rainbow juice in his hands and slowly drinking it through a straw, looking obedient and quiet.

Xia Zhi inexplicably thought of Yao Yao.

Yao Yao is also a Grass-type, and the two are about the same size, both quite small. However, Yao Yao's personality is more like that of a young girl, innocent and carefree.

Compared to Yao Yao, the Great Compassion Tree King possesses a wisdom and gentleness accumulated over countless years.

Xia Zhi went over and sat down with her: "How does the rainbow juice taste?"

"It has a very peculiar taste. Teyvat shouldn't have this kind of rainbow fruit."

"Yes, with your power, can you replicate this Rainbow Fruit?"

“It’s difficult, but if you have the seed, I can help you get it to grow.”

"Oh."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​opening a beverage shop in Liyue?"

"It was just a whim."

"I heard from Zhu Zi that this shop has only been open for a little over two months. You've only been here for this long?"

"They just arrived recently..."

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, then said softly, "I have a question."

"What doubts?"

"What happened last night..."

"That one?"

"The past has already been changed by me. Even if you separated yourself as originally planned, the future remains unchanged, it seems..."

"It seems that history has always been this way, and you have simply completed this time loop."

"Yes, I now suspect that the voice I heard in my dream wasn't from a remnant of your consciousness, but rather something I had you record using the [repeater]."

"In other words, the past has never changed; you are simply going back in time at some point in the future to do what you should have done in the past."

"Ah."

"The causes of the future lead to the effects of the past. Although it is incredible, things involving the rules of time cannot be predicted by common sense."

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment.

"I don't think I'll only travel through time this once. I'm sure my future self will go back to the past again to do something. It's a strange feeling that something seems to have changed but nothing has changed at all."

"But at least you really saved me."

"……Too."

With nothing to do, Xia Zhi sat down and chatted with the Great Compassion Tree King.

While you're at it, use [Steal] to learn all the skills she has.

【King of Herbs】: Automatically masters the knowledge of plants and trees, and has a thorough understanding of the properties of all plants.

[Innate Wisdom]: Passive, Intelligence +100.

【Gifts from Dreams】, 【Natural Affinity】...

The Great Tree King was a very intelligent person.

As the Lord of Wisdom, she could even be said to be the smartest person on this continent. It's not very interesting for someone as smart as her to chat with ordinary people.

Because it's too tiring to talk about it.

Even if she finds another smart person, they may not share the same interests, making it difficult to have a meaningful conversation.

So throughout the long years, she only had one close friend, the Flower Goddess, who shared her interests and was also very clever.

As for the Red King and the other six earthly rulers, they can only be considered as close friends.

But at this moment, the Great Tree King noticed that she and Xia Zhi were getting along better and better.

No matter what topic she brought up, he could always respond; he was truly a perfect conversation partner.

"You even know how to arrange flowers?"

"Understand a little."

"Where's the perfume?"

"I know a little bit about it too."

"I heard from Zhu Zi that your shop also offers massage services?"

"Yes, but it's not the kind of massage you get in Sumeru that uses fresh flower essential oils."

"Since you know how to make perfume, why don't you give it a try? Is it too much trouble?"

"I don't care about the trouble of making it, the main problem is that it's not very convenient. That level of physical contact is too ambiguous for them."

"That's it."

The Daci Tree King nodded.

"It's actually very comfortable. The goddess of flowers used to ask me to help her relax like that. After the massage, my skin would feel very smooth and fragrant..."
