I'm a male god in Liyue

“Didn’t Miss Yelan mention the rumors about the nameless Yaksha of the Layered Rock Abyss to me last time? I asked the Great Sage for you, but he said he didn’t know either.”

"Mr. Xia, you're too kind. It's alright, I'll investigate myself."

"Is Miss Yelan still determined to go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks?"

"Yes, when the calamity of the Layered Rock Abyss broke out, one of the two ancestors of the Ye family died and the other went mad... Investigating what happened to our ancestors back then is one of the reasons why I joined the General Affairs Department."

Ye Lan said earnestly.

That's just how mature women are.

But that's also part of their charm.

"There's really nothing I can do to you..."

Ye Lan looked at Xia Zhi and smiled again: "Mr. Xia, are you worried about me?"

"Yes."

"It's okay, I'll be back safely, then..."

"Stop planting the flag."

"Plant a flag? What does that mean?"

"It's nothing. By the way, when I mentioned this to the Great Sage before, he seemed quite interested in the Nameless Yaksha as well."

"Oh?"

"Miss Yelan might as well go and see the Great Sage. If you can go with the Great Sage, this trip should be much safer."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Xia."

"Yes, there's one more thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"If you have some free time these days, you can come to the shop for a massage and a bath. I can give you some secret medicine that might help enhance your strength."

Ye Lan was taken aback upon hearing this.

She couldn't help but recall the two times she had fallen asleep during massages and woken up in the bathtub to find that her strength had suddenly increased dramatically.

It really was Mr. Xia—no, it was my husband who helped…

Ye Lan's expression softened, and she softly agreed, "Okay, I will definitely come."

After the two came out of the back hall, Xia Zhi did not speak to anyone else alone.

But he noticed that the two True Lords, as well as his cousin and younger cousin, kept glancing at him and Miss Yelan for some reason.

These people are so gossipy.

Miss Yelan and I are completely innocent now!

After sitting and chatting over tea for a while, everyone got up to say goodbye.

Bai Zhu returned to Bu Bu Lu to prepare to take the medicine.

The two True Lords and the Emperor went to a teahouse to play cards. After playing cards for so many days, they felt that playing mahjong was still the most comfortable.

As Xiao walked out of the shop, preparing to return to Liyuan, he was stopped by Yelan. After a slight hesitation, he still followed her to the Yanshang Tea House for tea.

Ningguang took her three secretaries back to work overtime.

The rest of the people had nothing else to do, so they went out together to stroll around the night market.

Today is the Lantern Festival, the last day of the Lantern Festival, and also the most lively day.

It was Qi Liangliang's first time strolling through such a bustling street, and she was very excited. She jumped around here and touched there, looking like she wanted it all.

The two goddesses then stepped in to help her, specifically targeting stalls under Ningguang's name, because members could get an additional discount on top of the bargaining.

Qi Liangliang stood to the side watching the price of her favorite items being slashed again and again. She was utterly amazed by Xia Ci and Xia Zhen, and her two tails kept wagging back and forth without stopping.

Xia Zhi found it amusing.

The kitten is still cute.

But the ice cats in my shop are cute too.

After shopping for two hours, everyone came back with a bunch of random things.

"Boss, what should we do this afternoon?"

"Let's make some glutinous rice balls."

"Sweet rice balls! Sweet rice balls in rice wine!"

"sweet dumpling?"

The girls in the shop had all eaten there, but some girls who didn't often eat there hadn't tried it and didn't recognize it.

"They are glutinous rice and sesame dumplings. They can be boiled plain or with rice wine. They are sweet. Eating glutinous rice balls is a custom of our hometown on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Oh!"

So, just like making dumplings on a New Year's afternoon, everyone joined together to make glutinous rice balls.

This is simpler than making dumplings; you just need to roll it into a ball.

"Cousin, how about we get some blind boxes too?"

"You mean?"

"Just like when we make dumplings, we also put some special things into the glutinous rice balls."

"Yeah, that's okay."

"Great!"

"But it can't be too outrageous. Last time you guys just left everything lying around."

"Know it!"

Xia Zhi washed a Mora and wrapped it inside a glutinous rice ball.

The glutinous rice balls he made were all the same size, as if they were made with a mold. The glutinous rice ball with Mora was placed together with the others, making it impossible to tell them apart.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zi immediately said, "I bet a novel that Miss Gan Yu will definitely get to eat this glutinous rice ball filled with Mora today!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Exactly!"

Gan Yu blushed and quickly waved her hands, "I didn't, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense..."

"The dumpling with Mora in it that we had last time was the one Miss Gan Yu ate!"

"That was last time..."

"It'll definitely be the same this time!"

"It's hard to say..."

Gan Yu weakly argued, but considering her past terrifying record, it was really not convincing.

As a result, the atmosphere in the store became cheerful again.

After wrapping the glutinous rice balls and cooking them, Xia Zhi used the "Dragon-Turning Pot" to brew "Paradise Rice Wine" to accompany the rice balls, which received unanimous praise.

Then, quite naturally, Gan Yu bit into a Mora in her first glutinous rice ball.

"As expected of you, Miss Gan Yu!"

"Liyue's incredible luck!"

"May your fortune be doubled!"

"Congratulations, Senior Sister."

Gan Yu blushed, lowered her head, thanked everyone, and carefully put away the Mora.

Then came the surprise blind box opening segment.

Xia Zhi also naturally tasted hawthorn in his bowl of glutinous rice balls that Shen He had given him.

It tastes a little sour, but you can't see anything else in the glutinous rice balls.

Moreover, the taste in his mouth never dissipated.

Shen He looked at him with a smile on his face.

Xia Zhi looked up and smiled at her.

Shen He lowered his head without making a sound and went to eat the glutinous rice balls in his bowl.

She scooped one up with a spoon, took a small bite, and then her expression froze slightly.

It tastes sour, like lemon.

However, you can't see anything on the back of the glutinous rice ball.

Moreover, the taste in her mouth never went away.

After dinner, everyone took the lanterns they had made and went out for a stroll.
