After a while, she took off her identification documents.
At this moment, everyone came out of the kitchen, looking at Qi Liangliang with some curiosity.
Xia Ci glanced at the grass-type God's Eye hanging on her body, and then at the blue-green outfit she was wearing, which was decorated with many cherry blossoms. She looked quite interested.
This is a very flattering and beautiful dress for Qi Liangliang; it's definitely not the kind of cheap item you can buy on the street.
It must have been specially designed.
That person might also be a fashion designer.
interesting.
Xia Zhi is also observing this cat-like girl from Inazuma from God's perspective.
He could see a golden progress bar hanging on her body.
Progress: 0%.
It's astonishing that such a powerful monster capable of taking human form would be willing to work as an ordinary deliveryman.
Also interesting.
Despite being stared at like that, Qi Liangliang didn't feel embarrassed at all. She smiled generously at everyone, just like a girl next door.
Zhu Zi walked over and handed her his identification.
Qi Liangliang carefully examined the documents and confirmed that Zhu Zi's identity was correct. She returned the documents and then picked up the large package at her feet.
"Miss Zhu, this is a package your father sent you. Please sign for it."
Okay! Do I need to pay?
"No need, the sender has already paid. You just need to sign here."
"Signed."
"Okay! The goods have been delivered safely and on time!"
"Ah."
"Could you...could you spare a few more seconds to give me a five-star review?"
"Okay."
"Thank you! Goodbye then, and we welcome you to choose [Komahoya] again next time..."
"Ah, please wait a moment!"
Suddenly remembering something, Zhu Zi quickly called out to her.
Qi Liangliang looked at her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"Here's the thing, I'd like to send a letter back home. Can I just hand it to you?"
"sure."
"I'll go get it right away! But there's still some content left to write in the letter, so you might have to wait a little longer..."
"it does not matter."
Zhu Zi bowed to her embarrassedly and ran back to her room upstairs.
She took out the letter she had already written from the drawer, picked up a pen, and added a paragraph at the end of the letter.
"Dear Mom and Dad, I've received what you sent! I just submitted my novel to the publishing house today, and I've successfully signed a contract! I'm so happy! ...After my book is published, I'll send you two more copies to read! They'll be in Liyue's font, hehe..."
It took Zhu Zi about five minutes to finish writing the letter. She hurried downstairs, only to see Diona waving at her.
"Senior Zhu Zi, don't worry, Sister Qi Liangliang has already agreed that she will stay and have lunch with us."
"Hey?"
Zhu Zi was stunned for a moment, and saw Qi Liangliang sitting in the hall, chatting with Xia Ci while slowly sipping a glass of juice.
Xia Ci turned her head and smiled at Zhu Zi.
Just now, when Zhu Zi went upstairs, Xia Zhi subtly tugged at Xia Ci's sleeve.
Xia Ci immediately understood, and then she started talking to Qi Liangliang.
As the former Grass Goddess, she naturally had an affinity for wild monsters born in nature.
This ability is somewhat similar to Xia Zhi's hidden effect [Radiant Wings] (the initial affinity of Sky-Soaring species is friendly, and the affinity increase rate is +100%).
Moreover, cats seem to be quite easy to fool, no, quite naive. With Xia Ci's excellent emotional intelligence and eloquence, she easily befriended Qi Liangliang in just a few words.
It was only natural for her cousin to invite her to stay for a meal again.
Zhu Zi walked over and handed the envelope to Qi Liangliang.
"sorry to bother you."
"It's no trouble at all! Thank you for choosing Komaha-ya!"
Zhu Zi paid the postage.
Akabane was squatting on the ground, looking at the large package, and curiously poking it with his finger.
"Zhu Zi, what did your parents send you? Can I open it and take a look?"
"Of course, it should be some local specialties or something."
"It's a specialty of Inazuma."
"Here you go, a letter, some dried plums, some dried bonito, and a jar of cherry blossoms..."
"And a sweater too! Your parents really care about you!"
"hey-hey……"
Zhu Zi smiled and shared some of the snacks with everyone.
Compared to Xia Zhi's cooking skills, the taste of these ordinary foods is only average. Shen He, on the other hand, seems to really like dried plums, which have a sour taste.
Zhu Zi handed the jar to Xia Zhi.
"Boss, this is the Hizakura, the cherry blossom from the sacred cherry tree in Narukami Shrine. It's made with salt and can be used to make Hizakura mochi."
"Oh."
Xia Zhi took the jar, opened it with a smile, and then his expression suddenly turned slightly serious.
He dipped his finger in some cherry blossoms.
Judging from their appearance alone, these are just ordinary red cherry blossoms.
Because they have been pickled in salt, they have lost their fragrant floral aroma and instead have taken on a slightly fermented, sour taste.
These are all normal characteristics of salted food.
However, in Xia Zhi's perception, these cherry blossoms had a very abnormal characteristic—he sensed a fluctuation of the laws of time within them.
This fluctuation of the law was extremely weak. If Xia Zhi had not possessed the [Hourglass of Time] and been familiar with the power of the law of time, he would not have been able to detect this anomaly.
These are just some withered and fallen cherry blossoms. How could they be related to the laws of time?
Xia Zhi felt something was strange.
He raised his finger, put the cherry blossoms still clinging to it into his mouth, and tasted them carefully.
I didn't find anything particularly special about it.
The power of the laws of time had no effect on their taste.
"Boss, how's it going?"
"Quite flavorful."
"Let's make cherry blossom mochi tonight!"
"Okay."
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, put the lid on the jar, and discreetly put the last bit of cherry blossom residue from his finger into his inventory.
He checked the item information.
Salted Cherry Blossoms
Quality: average.
Type: Consumable.
Characteristics: None.
Effect: Cherry blossom petals that fall from the sacred cherry tree are preserved using traditional methods.
Hidden effects: None.
The system did not provide any explanation for the power of the time law contained within the Crimson Cherry Blossom, and judged it merely as of ordinary quality.
However, the description of the effects specifically mentions "divine cherry tree"...
Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.
