I'm a male god in Liyue

That was a travel essential that Grandma Ping gave to Yanfei.

This time, Yan Fei also brought her out.

She and Ye Lan rested inside last night.

Xiao stood guard outside alone at night, slowly turning the beaded string in his hand, his heart as still as water.

It's not that Yan Fei didn't invite him in for a chat, but the journey was far less arduous than the effort he put into slaying evil spirits while guarding Guili Plain, so he didn't need to rest.

On the other hand, he also felt that it would be inappropriate to get along like that, since Miss Ye Lan and Mr. Xia seemed to have a very special relationship, so he sensibly refused directly.

At one point, the Dust Song Pot moved slightly.

Ye Lan's figure suddenly appeared next to Chen Ge Hu, smiling and greeting him.

Good morning, Great Sage.

"Good morning, Miss Yelan."

"Thank you for keeping watch last night, Great Sage."

"It doesn't matter."

"I'll go gather firewood and fetch water later."

"it is good."

Xiao nodded, suddenly remembering the Emperor's instructions to him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Miss Yelan, I have something to tell you."

Ye Lan was about to turn and leave when she heard this, so she stopped and looked at him with some curiosity: "Oh? I wonder what the Great Sage is talking about?"

"Miss Yelan, as a special intelligence officer, you must know the duties of us Yakshas, ​​right?"

"I have consulted many ancient texts and know some things. After the war between the demon gods, many demon gods fell on this land, leaving behind many remnants of the demon gods, from which countless evil spirits and demons were born. However, the remnants of the demon gods are not for humans to approach, as those who touch them will go mad. Only the Yakshas, ​​with their strong physiques and resilient spirits, can resist them. In order to prevent them from causing harm, the Yakshas are ordered by the Emperor to go around slaying demons."

Ye Lan paused for a moment, then continued.

"But even Yakshas, ​​in the process of cleaning up the remnants of demons, will become tainted with karma, accumulating over time and ultimately leading to the same fate as humans. Even the Emperor is helpless against this. To this day, the remnants of demons in Liyue have been almost completely cleared away, but only the Great Sage remains as a Yaksha..."

At this point, Ye Lan's voice carried a hint of respect.

Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "That's right. The karmic burden on my body was already nearing its limit, but Mr. Xia helped me remove it during the gathering that day."

Ye Lan was also dining at the restaurant that day and remembered the incident: "I remember."

Xiao slightly raised the beaded string in her hand: "Back then, Mr. Xia also gave me this item."

"This is?"

"This item can help me eliminate my karmic obstacles."

"!"

“Each time I slay an evil spirit, I only need to turn this string of beads to slowly eliminate the effects of my karma. With this explanation, Miss Yelan should understand the significance of this item to me, right?”

"Yes, I know."

“I originally dared not accept such a precious item, but Mr. Xia said that it was not given to me for free, but on one condition.”

"condition?"

"That is so. If I want to come to the Abyss of Layered Rocks to investigate the nameless Yaksha, I will have to travel with Miss Yelan and protect you along the way."

"!!"

Ye Lan was stunned, and then a strange look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Why didn't you mention this matter when we discussed it at the Yanshang Tea House last time?"

"Because Mr. Xia told me not to tell you about this."

"Mr. Xia really is..."

Ye Lan gave a light scolding.

Even someone as aloof as Xiao couldn't detect much annoyance in her words; instead, he saw her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Then why is the Great Sage saying it now?"

“Well… I have a friend who is always wise and resourceful. I talked to him about this before I left, and he suggested that I should tell you. After thinking it over, I decided that it would be better to tell Miss Yelan, so that Mr. Xia’s good intentions will not go unnoticed by you.”

"Thank you, Great Sage!"

Ye Lan felt relieved and then thanked him sincerely.

"And thank you to the Great Sage's friend as well!"

"It doesn't matter."

Ye Lan turned and left.

My husband still cares about me after all.

As for Xiao Dasheng's friend... he should also be an immortal. It is said that he has the talent to manage water and build mountains, and is knowledgeable both internally and externally. He should be the True Lord of Managing Water and Building Mountains.

I must thank him properly as the matchmaker when I have the chance in the future.

As Xiao watched Ye Lan's retreating figure, he felt as if her steps had become much lighter.

Seeing that no one was around, Xiao stood up from the fire, held his spear upright in front of him, and measured it.

Sure enough, I had grown another inch or so taller.

Mr. Xia is truly a miracle worker.

Yujingtai.

Gan Yu woke up very early in the morning.

She didn't even have time to stay in bed for a moment before running to the bathroom like a thief to change out of her wet pajamas.

Squatting on the ground, washing clothes with her hands, Gan Yu felt her face getting hot.

"Woo..."

She had a very strange dream last night.

In her dream, she was in her junior sister's room, sitting alone on the bed, leaning against the wall, her ear pressed against it, listening intently to the sounds coming from next door, and then she couldn't help but do something...

Why would I have such a dream?

Gan Yu bit her lip.

I was reminded of what happened the night before last.

It was Friday, and as usual, she went to the small shop to visit her junior sister, hoping to get a free meal, a massage, and stay overnight.

That evening, my junior sister said she was hungry again and wanted to get something to eat, so I asked her if she wanted some.

She naturally nodded in agreement.

Then, as if possessed, she went to eavesdrop on the other side of the wall.

But unlike last time when she heard nothing, this time she actually heard a little sound!

Although the sound was very faint, it was enough to spark her imagination.

It was probably because of that incident.

She's been having this on her mind non-stop these past couple of days.

Perhaps it was because she had been thinking about it all day that she had such an absurd dream last night.

"Having such an embarrassing dream is one thing... but the problem is... the problem is... at the very end, when I was calling out Mr. Xia's name, how did the door suddenly open? And there was my junior sister standing outside looking completely bewildered! This dream is just too strange!"

Gan Yu couldn't help but bury her face in her knees.

It took her a while to lift her head.

Thankfully, it was just a dream.

No matter how embarrassing it is, it's just your own dream.

The junior sister in my dream was also fake.

As long as I don't say anything carelessly, my junior sister won't know anything about it in real life.

so far so good……

After washing the clothes, Gan Yu returned to her room and sat on the bed.

There were also heating charms posted in the room, making it very warm.

Gan Yu stared blankly at the air for a while.

The events from her dream resurfaced in her mind once again.

She felt something was wrong with her body.

It's a very strange feeling.

She had never experienced such a naive and passionate impulse in her body and mind before.

wrong.

It's not like before.
