I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 351

Xia Ci looked up and asked with a curious expression, "Mr. Zhongli, why didn't you ask Prince Yan for protection just now?"

Zhongli said calmly, "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."

"Lord Yan is a god!"

"It's the same; Prince Yan has already departed. Your offering of incense is merely for peace of mind."

"Mr. Zhongli is right!"

"..."

The store was closed this morning, and a notice had already been posted, so no one was in a hurry to go back. Instead, everyone strolled around the square in Yujingtai.

Zhu Zi pointed over there and exclaimed in surprise, "Look, it's so cold, yet there are still flowers!"

It's already autumn, but I was surprised to see a patch of half-open dwarf lilies and blue lilies; the scenery was quite beautiful.

Xia Ci glanced over and could sense the residual grass elemental power in that area.

"I've heard that Miss Ningguang loves glass lilies, so I suppose she specially found a Grass-type God's Eye holder to maintain the environment here."

"Oh!"

"That looks like Grandma Ping standing there!"

"Let's go say hello!"

"Grandma Ping!"

Grandma Ping stood under the tree, a gentle smile on her face, and nodded in response.

"What brings everyone here to visit this old woman today?"

"We've come to offer incense!"

"Shall we go to Yiyan Palace to offer incense to Prince Yan?"

"That's right! Mr. Zhongli is going to the construction site tomorrow, let's pray for him."

"Huh?" Grandma Ping glanced at Zhong Li without leaving a trace.

I didn't understand what was going on, but I was deeply shocked.

"Which construction site is Mr. Zhongli going to?"

"The school construction site!"

"School?"

Xia Zhi patiently explained it to Grandma Ping.

"I see."

"It's still in the place where the Jade Pavilion is being rebuilt."

"Mr. Xia, are you still short of money?"

"With Miss Ningguang here, we have nothing to lack. Thank you for your kindness, Grandma Ping."

"Where's Yaoyao?"

She was reading in the room.

"Yaoyao is so hardworking!"

"Yes, she's so sensible!"

“We also brought some offerings with us this time. If Grandma doesn’t mind, please take them and eat them.”

"Hehe, Mr. Xia, you're too kind. Yao Yao brings back lots of food from the store every day."

“Well, Yao Yao is an employee in our store. This is a perk she deserves. It’s a separate matter.”

“Then I will accept it. This offering has been touched by the incense in Yiyan Palace. Eating it may bring the blessing of the Rock King.”

"right."

Diona's eyes widened: "Is that even a thing?"

Ying'er nodded: "Yes, there is."

Zhu Zi nodded: "There is a similar saying at Narukami Taisha Shrine in Inazuma. Children who eat offerings made to Narukami will be free from illness and disaster."

Did you eat this when you were a child?

"Of course I've eaten it."

Have you ever been sick?

"Well, I have had some minor illnesses before."

"..."

Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Actually, it's just a way of saying something auspicious. There are too many people in a country, how can the gods have so much time to take care of everyone?"

"Yes!"

"Since you're all here, why don't you all come over to my place and have a cup of tea?"

"Let's not trouble Grandma Ping. Since Yao Yao is studying, it's better if we don't go and bother her."

“Once the school is built, Grandma Ping can actually consider letting Yao Yao go to school.”

"This one……"

"Mr. Zhongli will be the school's vice principal."

“I think Mr. Xia is right. There are more children of the same age there, which is more friendly to Yao Yao.”

"Ah."

After chatting for a while, everyone said goodbye and left.

Mr. Zhongli parted ways with everyone on the way.

"Boss, shall we go back to the shop now?"

"No rush. We're free this morning anyway, so let's go to Bubulu together to buy medicine for Ying'er."

"it is good!"

Ying'er couldn't help but blush a little.

After all, she found it hard to talk about this problem; having so many people go there in such a grand manner made her feel a little ashamed...

But the boss meant well, and she didn't want to refuse.

On the way to Bubulu, Qiqi's steps were slightly lighter.

As always, Bubulu was packed with people today.

Many people are queuing outside, waiting for Dr. Bai Shu to see them.

If you're just here to get medicine, you don't need to wait in line; you can just go in directly.

Qiqi led everyone into the pharmacy and called out, "Agui, we need to get our medicine."

A-Gui greeted everyone with a smile and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

He reached out and took the prescription from Ying'er, glancing at it.

Sure enough, it was another prescription full of poison.

He felt a shiver run down his spine, but he didn't dare to question it like he did the first time. He glanced at Mr. Xia and obediently took the prescription to get the medicine.

On the other side of the pharmacy, Doctor Bai Shu was seeing patients, with Chang Sheng wrapped around his neck.

Seeing how busy he was, no one bothered him too much. They greeted him with smiles, took the medicine, and left.

Zhu Zi walked past the patients in line and asked in a low voice, "Boss, your medical skills are just as good as Dr. Bai Shu's, why don't you write your own medical textbook?"

"It's possible, but unnecessary."

"what?"

"Because my cousin doesn't have the authority of Dr. Bai Shu. If the same sentence came from my cousin, we would definitely believe it, but others wouldn't easily believe it. However, if it came from Dr. Bai Shu, most people in Liyue would be willing to believe it, after all, he is the best doctor in Liyue."

"Oh!"

“My cousin is right. The same applies to Mr. Zhongli and Miss Yanfei, as well as Miss Ningguang. Her legendary journey from Yaoguang Beach to become one of the Seven Stars is already widely known in Liyue. People will speculate on the meaning behind her every word. Countless merchants even regard the scraps of paper she tore up as treasures. If she were to write a textbook on business, it would definitely be regarded as a classic by the people of Liyue.”

"Understood!"

Diona exclaimed, "Ningguang is amazing!"

Xia Zhi laughed and said, "When you brew the best wine in the world, your words will be regarded as gospel by everyone."

"Yeah! I'll try my best!"

"come on."
