I'm a male god in Liyue

After chatting for a while, the tea in the pot was almost finished.

It was basically time for everyone to say goodbye and leave.

Xia Zhi coughed, stood up, and spoke first: "I wonder if everyone has time this afternoon?"

The immortals nodded: "Yes."

Ningguang and Ganyu nodded in agreement: "Yes."

The others weren't very busy either: "Mr. Xia, what do you want to do?"

Xia Zhi's expression was solemn: "Today is the last day of the year, a time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. So, I would like everyone to go to Yiyan Palace to pray to Lord Yan for good health and all the best in the coming year."

Hu Tao nodded immediately: "We should go! Zhong Li, don't you think so?"

"..."

The immortals secretly glanced at Zhongli.

Zhongli paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, indeed."

Anyway, it wasn't his first time going there.

Before the school construction started last time, Xia Zhi and Xia Ci dragged him to Yiyan Hall to offer incense.

It wouldn't hurt to go again.

No one else had any objections.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Then let's go together later. I've already made some incense, so we don't need to buy any. This will show our sincerity to Prince Yan."

Zhongli watched as he took out a large bunch of incense sticks and distributed them to everyone, and silently accepted a few sticks.

You're really going all out, kid.

We arrived at Yiyan Hall.

As always, Yiyan Hall was packed with people today.

Everyone took turns offering incense in front of the statue.

Xia Ci began chanting again: "123, 123, 1234567..."

Zhong Li glanced at her, then looked at Xia Zhen.

"123, 321, 1234567..."

Zhongli withdrew his gaze expressionlessly.

Lightning is really...

They've been corrupted by the Tree King.

Chapter 348 Of course, we have to make dumplings for the New Year (4K)

Incense sticks are lit, and wisps of smoke rise, releasing a calming aroma.

Xia Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that it smelled very similar to the incense that wafted from the back room when her cousin was giving her a massage last night. It had a very special attraction for her, a kind of ghost.

Inside the Yiyan Palace, someone recognized Ningguang and Keqing and came over to greet them with a somewhat solicitous and polite attitude.

The two Seven Star Lords immediately put on polite but slightly distant business smiles and nodded slightly in response.

Charlotte, ever the helpful person she is, picked up her camera and snapped a picture of the scene.

After offering incense, everyone left Yiyan Hall and said their goodbyes.

"The Lantern Festival is in half a month. If you have time then, come to my shop and have a meal together."

"sure!"

--

Bai Zhu returned to Bubulu.

On the way, Changsheng, who was wrapped around his neck, whispered, "Your life force is now overflowing."

"Yes, let's go out for free clinics in the next few days. Let's try to treat as many patients as possible in the two weeks before the Lantern Festival, and then we can go to Mr. Xia's place for a meal to make up for it."

"Alright."

--

Ningguang returned to the Moon Sea Pavilion.

On the way, the three secretaries were still discussing the "God Jumps Over the Wall" they had for lunch that day, and finally they couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder when we'll be able to eat such delicious food again."

Ningguang turned around and chuckled, "We should be able to eat it again in about two weeks."

"Huh? How did Lady Ningguang know?"

"My guess."

"what?"

“I know almost all of Mr. Xia’s friends in Liyue, and most of them are here for dinner today, but my best special intelligence officer is missing.”

"Lord Yelan!"

"According to Mr. Xia's divination, Ye Lan should return from the Layered Rock Abyss before the Lantern Festival, and be able to make it to the dinner party in half a month. And given Mr. Xia's gentle nature, he will most likely perform the 'Divine Jump Over the Wall' again for Ye Lan's sake, so we can enjoy it one more time."

"What Lady Ningguang said makes perfect sense!"

"Lady Ningguang understands Mr. Xia so well!"

Ningguang smiled without saying a word.

--

Xiao bid farewell to Zhongli.

"Your Majesty, I'm returning to Wangshu Inn."

"Ah."

Li Shui Zhenjun said from the side, "Xiao, remember to come over for dinner again in half a month."

Xiao's expression showed a slight hesitation.

Zhongli looked at him and said, "Come on, Mr. Xia's dishes are no ordinary dishes; even immortals would benefit greatly from them."

Xiao paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

“Your karmic burden has accumulated to a great extent. I’ll find an opportunity to ask Mr. Xia, and perhaps there will be a way to clear your karmic burden.”

"!"

Xiao's eyes revealed obvious surprise.

Mr. Xia can actually do something that even the Emperor cannot do?

"But let's skip it today. I think Mr. Xia is quite happy, so let's not spoil his mood with something like this."

Xiao turned back and gave Xia Zhi a deep look.

Then, his not-so-tall figure suddenly disappeared in the wind.

The Moon-Slicing True Lord said with a smile, "Xiao has never been close to strangers, but he doesn't seem to dislike Mr. Xia."

Li Shui Zhenjun nodded and said, "When I first met Mr. Xia, I don't know why, but I also felt very close to him."

The Moon-Slicing True Lord had a vague recollection of what the Water-Controlling True Lord had said, that Mr. Xia gave him a strange feeling as if he were one of their own.

Why don't I feel the same way as you?

"Perhaps it's because I'm destined to be with Mr. Xia, but you aren't."

"...Your Majesty, shall we go play cards at the teahouse?"

"Ah."

--

"Isn't Senior Sister going back?"

"Yes, I've already finished all my business this morning. With the secretariat here, I can easily take half a day off."

"Boss, where should we go this afternoon?"

"Let's go shopping, and while we're at it, let's buy some personal items for my cousin, like blankets and pillows."

"My cousin is so thoughtful!"

Xia Zhen spoke with a very gratified tone.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised.

No, cousin, what you're saying sounds a bit like tea.

And do you get into character that quickly?

Last night when I was playing games in my dream, I offered you my medkit to treat me, and you never said that. How come you've become so affectionate with me now?

Wait, could it be because of the "divine jump over the wall"?

Xia Zhi glanced at Xia Zhen without making a sound.
