I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Zhi looked at the incredibly regretful expressions on their faces and shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want you to try it, I'm just afraid that if you try it, you won't be able to eat the other dishes when we have dinner later."

"!"

"You can ask Xiangling; she just ate."

Xiangling nodded, a look of reminiscence on her face: "Yes, I can't forget that taste now..."

"That's it."

"With that in mind, I will serve this dish last, after everyone has almost finished eating."

"Ok!"

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get back to work."

……

The strange fragrance in the hall gradually faded.

Everyone resumed their previous conversation, but each person seemed somewhat absent-minded, constantly unable to resist glancing towards the kitchen to check on the situation.

When are we going to eat?!

Lord Xiaoyue really wanted to secretly do some divination, but he didn't dare.

Zhongli poured herself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Guoba was about to sneak off to the kitchen when Grandma Ping grabbed his head and dragged him back.

After finishing his sunflower seeds, Xia Ci picked up his pocket watch and checked the time.

"It's almost 12 o'clock..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Diona ran out of the kitchen.

"Dinner's ready! Please help clear the table."

"Ok!"

One after another, delicious-looking dishes were served and laid out on the table. Diona also took out her homemade rainbow liqueur and poured it for everyone.

"Mr. Xia, you've worked so hard! You've prepared so many dishes!"

"Oh, it's alright. Today is the last day of the year, so I've invited all my friends to have a small gathering at my home to chat and laugh. This is how we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new. Everyone, eat and drink well!"

"Uh-huh!"

Everyone looked at the dishes on the table, but no one touched their chopsticks.

Xia Zhi asked in surprise, "What's going on with everyone?"

Xia Ci looked at him and asked, "Cousin, are you missing one dish?"

"There's another main course for today, but it's a bit special, so we'll save it for last."

"Oh!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Pick up your chopsticks and let's eat!

The atmosphere at the dining table immediately became lively.

The most eye-catching item was the crispy rice crust.

It wore the black iron gloves that Gan Yu had helped it open from the treasure chest. Its claws were as nimble as human fingers, and it picked up food with extraordinary speed.

The two True Lords, Xiaoyue and Lishui, were stunned, mainly because they hadn't won the chicken leg competition.

How can someone cheat by using props while eating?!

The two True Lords exchanged a glance, silently took out small medicine bottles from their pockets, and put a pill into their mouths.

This scene was witnessed by Xiao, who was standing nearby.

He was a little stunned: "You guys..."

Lord Lishui gave him two pills: "Good stuff, here you go, take them."

"This is?"

"Digestive pills".

"...I don't need it..."

"What do you mean you don't need it? Emperor... Mr. Zhongli said it was good after eating it... Anyway, you can take it first, whether you use it or not is up to you."

Lord Lishui placed the pill in his hand.

Xiao paused for a moment, then glanced at Zhongli.

Sure enough, they discovered that the Emperor was also taking these little pills.

After thinking about it, he decided to put the pill away.

It's not that I really need it, but Li Shui meant well, and I can't refuse.

As a Yaksha, he has always been resolute in his character. Even if the food is the most delicious, he would never overeat it like Risui and the others.

Everyone chatted while eating.

The atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Xia Zhi saw that the food on the table had been almost eaten, so he got up, told everyone, and went into the kitchen with Xiang Ling.

Everyone's expressions became expectant.

"Master, should this be served in a bowl before being taken out?"

"Just take the jar out."

"Oh, I'll do it."

"It's very heavy, is it easy for you to carry?"

"Do not worry."

Xiangling easily carried the jar out.

No wonder he is a disciple of an immortal.

She looks like a delicate girl, but she's actually quite strong.

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered the relaxed scene when Yao Yao practiced shooting at Yunhan Society last time.

She said the gun at home was much heavier than the gun in the movie.

She's a little girl with incredible strength.

Xia Zhi followed Xiang Ling out of the kitchen and, under everyone's watchful eyes, lifted the lid of the jar.

A strange, strong fragrance emanated from inside.

Then, Xia Zhi heard a series of synchronized swallowing sounds.

True Lord Li Shui couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia, is this 'Immortal Jumps Over the Wall'?"

"No, this is my improved version of 'Immortal Jumps Over the Wall,' which I prefer to call 'God Jumps Over the Wall.'"

"God, God jumping over the wall?"

"It means that even the gods, upon smelling its fragrance, would be tempted to jump over the wall from next door to steal a bite."

"..."

"Alright, the name is just an insignificant designation. Let's all try it first."

Everyone was served a bowl of "God Jumps Over the Wall," freshly ladled from the jar.

The thick, clear broth, the abundance of ingredients whose names you can't even name, the incredibly enticing aroma... all of these are wildly tempting your appetite.

"Woo!"

Guoba couldn't resist; as soon as the food was placed in its hands, it scooped up a spoonful and put it in its mouth.

Then, just like Xiangling before it, it fell into a state of dazedness.

Others, including the three gods, also began to taste it, and without exception, they all reaped the same result.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Xia Zhi looked around and smiled slightly at the dazed expressions on everyone's faces.

The scene I've been waiting for has finally appeared...

Of course, except for Miss Gan Yu.

She was a vegetarian and couldn't eat this kind of meat dish at all; she could only smell it and looked at him with a rather resentful and pitiful expression.

Suddenly, Xia Zhi's smile froze.

From his God's-eye view, he saw three silver progress bars appear on Zhu Ziying'er and Bai Shi.

[Progress: 0%]

This means that their status has been elevated once again.
