“I haven’t tried it, but if you’d like, I can help you relax like that.”

"You have ulterior motives."

"?"

"I'm your cousin."

"?"

As the Great Tree King spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself.

"Speaking of which, the culture of your world is really interesting... I'd love to visit sometime. Have you ever thought about going back?"

"Going back... I've thought about it... but it's not possible right now. Maybe there will be a chance in the future, and I'll take you then."

"Ah."

Chapter 232 Meeting an Old Friend

Had lunch.

Xia Zhi returned to her room on the second floor, intending to take a nap and get some rest.

I was too busy last night and didn't sleep well.

Before going to sleep, Xia Zhi took the diamond treasure chest out of her inventory.

This is what he got from the Great Tree King.

I must say, I've had a very fruitful few days.

After accumulating initial capital, abilities begin to develop like a snowball rolling downhill.

Open the treasure chest.

An ordinary little bottle appeared before Xia Zhi's eyes.

[Essence Bottle]

Quality: Diamond.

Type: Assistive devices.

Characteristics: transformation, blending, and storage.

Effects: It can absorb the essence of the sun and moon; it can perfectly mix any liquid; it can nourish the liquid in the bottle, and the longer it is nourished, the stronger its effect.

Hidden effect: Healing skills and drug usage effects +100%.

The description of this bottle's effects seems very concise, but in Xia Zhi's experience, the more concise the description, the more powerful the effect.

Moreover, the hidden effect can directly double his healing output.

As a nurse, I simply can't resist this kind of equipment.

Xia Zhi fiddled with the bottle in her hand for a moment, put it in "hidden mode," placed it on the windowsill to let it automatically absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and then went to bed.

Xia Zhi didn't wake up until after 3 a.m.

He rubbed his eyes, got out of bed, walked to the windowsill, and picked up the [Essence Bottle].

Xia Zhi checked and found that a small drop of golden liquid had condensed inside the bottle. He poured it out and put it in his inventory.

[Essence of the Sun]

Quality: Special.

Type: Consumable.

Characteristics: Nourishing.

Effect: The mysterious liquid produced by the essence bottle absorbing sunlight can nourish all things.

Hidden effect: Increases the nourishing effect on animals by 50%.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment, then made two [God-given Wooden Sticks], consuming some of his spiritual power and divine power, and then took the small drop of golden liquid out of his inventory.

It doesn't need to be swallowed; it automatically merges into Xia Zhi's palm when it touches his hand.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi felt as if his whole body was being nourished by warm, sweet dew.

The mental and divine power on the system panel were quickly restored to full.

It has a very powerful nourishing effect.

This is the Essence of the Sun. Logically, if it is used at night, it should be the Essence of the Moon.

Xia Zhi kept the bottle in its "hidden" state and placed it on the windowsill, letting it continue to slowly absorb sunlight.

He left his room, went downstairs, and washed up.

The shop was already open for business at this time.

The Great Tree King was still sitting in the same corner as he had been that morning, reading a book in his hand.

Xia Zhi walked over and sat down next to her.

"looking at what?"

"The novel you wrote."

"I didn't expect you to like watching this kind of thing."

"I never expected you to write something like this."

“This is art!”

"You have ulterior motives."

"Could you use a different word?"

"Push for more updates."

"???"

Xia Zhi sat with her for a while, and around four o'clock, Zhong Li came over as usual.

"Mr. Zhongli has arrived! Please have a seat! Come, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Xia Ci. Cousin, this is Mr. Zhongli, a guest elder from the Rebirth Hall next door."

"..."

"..."

Zhongli and the Great Compassion Tree King looked at each other and fell silent.

Xia Zhi watched from the side and found the scene of old friends reuniting to be quite interesting.

The wait was worthwhile.

A moment later, Zhongli activated a divine barrier, preventing the other guests from noticing the situation at the table.

The Great Tree King looked at him, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Morax, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. I thought you had already left... How did you become Mr. Xia's cousin?"

"The reasons here are rather complicated, and I can't tell you about them."

"It's alright. It's already a great blessing to see an old friend again."

"Your personality remains as calm as ever."

"After all, I've lived too long."

"How are the others doing? Will everyone still gather in Liyue as before?"

"No, after the trip to Kanria, it was just me and Barbatos left."

"...Was that battle back then really that brutal?...What exactly happened on the battlefield back then?"

"..."

Zhongli paused for a moment, without answering her question.

"Can't you tell me?"

"I'm sorry, this is my contract."

"I see."

Then, the two gods tacitly changed the subject and started talking about other things.

The main event was that the Great Tree King asked Morax about the major events that had occurred in various countries over the past five hundred years. Morax had a very good memory and recounted these events to her in detail.

Xia Zhi brought juice and snacks to the two of them, then sat down beside them and listened to the lively conversation with great interest.

The escape of the pure water spirits from Fontainebleau, the Sumeru political party, the isolation of Inazuma, the dragon plague in Mondstadt...

After listening to everyone's opinions, Xia Zhi felt that among the seven kingdoms over the past five hundred years, Liyue seemed to have the most stable life.

When the shop closed for the summer, Zhongli removed the barrier and took his leave.
