I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Ci glanced at her.

"Some people's intentions have changed."

"..."

Xia Zhen blinked, still maintaining an innocent expression.

"is it?"

"Ah……"

Then, the two best friends sat together and watched Gan Yu.

Gan Yu was holding a teacup in her hand, looking at Xia Zhi through the tea fragrance and mist, her eyes filled with strange and complicated emotions.

She naturally sensed the changes happening to herself.

Because of the bloodline limitations of her semi-immortal body, the cultivation bottleneck that she had been unable to overcome for thousands of years simply disappeared.

Becoming an immortal is the lifelong pursuit of countless beings, as difficult as ascending to heaven, but in Mr. Xia's presence, it becomes as simple as eating and drinking soup.

This feeling of being filled with power is just... amazing.

Gan Yu turned her gaze to Shen He.

My junior sister is so young, yet she became a Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal before me. It must be because Mr. Xia secretly gave her a lot of extra help.

Gan Yu couldn't help but think back to that night of the Lunar New Year.

She stayed overnight at the shop and slept with her junior sister. Around midnight, her junior sister suddenly said she was hungry and went downstairs to the kitchen cabinet to get something to eat. When her junior sister came back, her hair was a little messy, her face was radiant, and she carried the warm and unique scent of Mr. Xia.

This was even when he was sleeping with his junior sister, and she was still sneaking around like this. If she did this every night when he wasn't staying at the shop, then his junior sister would probably do it every night...

Thinking of this, Gan Yu's face turned a little red.

She picked up her cup, took a sip of tea to calm her chaotic thoughts, and then thought of her master again.

My master's cultivation level has fallen, and she is no longer an immortal, but my junior sister and I, as her two disciples, have become immortals again.

My master has always been a strong-willed person; I wonder what her expression will be when she finds out about this.

That should be interesting, right?

A slight smile flickered in Gan Yu's eyes.

Thinking of her master, she also thought of how her junior sister Shen He had gone down the mountain last year on her master's orders: firstly, to enter the world of commerce, and secondly, to take care of Mr. Xia and repay her master's life-saving grace...

But judging from the situation over the past few months, it's more accurate to say that Mr. Xia is taking care of Shen He rather than Shen He being the junior sister.

However, since my junior sister has already offered herself to me, I should be able to repay my master's life-saving grace.

I had initially thought of helping my master repay Mr. Xia's kindness, but it seems I haven't been able to help much. Instead, I've now been burdened with a new debt of gratitude.

How can I repay this kindness of a meal today?

After all, she is an auspicious beast. Even if Mr. Xia doesn't care, she can't possibly enjoy this favor with a clear conscience.

Gan Yu's eyes showed some hesitation.

……

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen gossiped in hushed tones.

"Doesn't it look good?"

"It is somewhat beautiful."

"This is called the first stirrings of love."

"You know a thing or two."

"The value of the God of Wisdom, and that one over there, Yelan, look at her eyes, they've become completely different from before."

"Tsk, my cousin is quite charming."

"right."

"What should I do? I think I might like it too..."

"Pah, is that what you call liking? You're just craving your cousin's cooking."

"You're so high and mighty, but aren't you greedy?"

"I'm craving it too."

"Ah……"

the other side.

Xia Zhi sat down with Zhong Li, Ning Guang, and the others to talk.

Ke Qing said, "The school will be completed in a couple of days. As for the monument that Mr. Xia mentioned before, I have already prepared the stone. We just need to wait for the list to be released before we carve it and erect it."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, I'm grateful to Miss Keqing for supervising the project these past two months, as well as Mr. Zhongli."

Ningguang said, "The Liyue Newspaper has been doing its best to promote the school these past few days. The textbooks and teachers are all ready, and I have already sent out all the invitations for the opening ceremony."

Xia Zhi said, "I have already invited Miss Yun Jin, and she has agreed to have Yun Han Society perform a new play at the school."

Zhongli nodded: "With such momentum, let's wait and see the outcome."

The group then discussed the details.

After they parted, Zhongli looked at Xia Zhi and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xia, I have one more request."

"Please feel free to speak up, Vice Principal, as long as it's something I can help with."

"It's about Xiao."

"The Great Saint Who Conquers Demons?"

"Well, Xiao has guarded Guili Plain for hundreds of years, eliminating countless evil spirits, but he is also burdened with karmic obstacles as a result. He is now almost at his limit. I would like to ask Mr. Xia if he has any solutions to this matter?"

"Karma..."

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment.

"I can treat this kind of minor illness."

Minor illness...

Zhongli fell silent for a moment.

Okay, Principal, you're amazing...

It's definitely not as satisfying to show off your divine power before people as it is before the gods.

Xia Zhi stood up seriously and said, "Let Xiao come in with me."

Zhongli nodded: "Okay."

Xia Zhi walked into the back hall.

Zhongli turned her head and called out, "Xiao, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Tao's face hardened.

She interrupted him, then said to him earnestly, "Zhongli, how can you call the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons by his name? That's disrespectful to the immortal master! You should call him Immortal Xiao."

Zhongli fell silent for a moment.

Alright, you're amazing, Master...

Zhongli coughed and said again, "Immortal Xiao, Mr. Xia wants to see you and asks you to come inside."

Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. He put down his teacup, stood up expressionlessly, and calmly replied, "Okay."

"go quickly."

Xiao walked into the back hall alone.

It was a quiet room inside.

There was a table and seats, and in the middle was a clean little bed whose purpose was unclear.

Xiao stood there, looking somewhat reserved: "Mr. Xia..."

Although he was a Yaksha with no taboos, he still couldn't help feeling some pressure in front of someone on par with the Emperor.

Xia Zhi was lighting incense on the table when he turned around and smiled, "Come and sit down."

"it is good."

Xiao walked over and sat down on the chair.

The scent of incense wafted through the air, smelling very pleasant and calming him down.

"This fragrance..."

"I have specially made calming incense. If you like it, Great Sage, you can take a few pieces back with you."

"Mr. Xia, you're too kind, but I won't accept your offer."

Xiao shook his head, then hesitated.

"Mr. Xia...can you really remove karmic obstacles?"
