I'm a male god in Liyue

Vice Principal, Room.

Xia Ci sat on the bed, holding the bottle in her hand, looking at the bright golden liquid inside.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

But Xia Ci didn't drink it; she just gently shook the bottle.

At one point, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Xia Ci heard this, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"coming."

She tossed the bottle onto the bedside table, got out of bed, and went to open the door.

Sure enough, it was her best friend outside the door—Xia Zhen, wearing pajamas.

"Why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came over to talk to you."

"Oh, come in."

"Ah."

After Xia Zhen entered, her gaze wandered around before finally settling on the headboard, where her eyes lit up.

It was that bottle, still containing that bright golden liquid.

The two sat on the bed and chatted for a while. Xia Zhen looked at the bottle and asked a question.

"You haven't had any yet?"

"Hmm, no rush, let's keep it for now."

"Aren't you in a hurry? Didn't you want to regain your divine power?"

"At first, I did want to recover quickly, probably because I felt insecure. But then I realized that I didn't need any sense of security with my cousin. This little bit of divine power is enough for me now."

Xia Zhen looked at her and suddenly said.

"lie."

"Oh, you found me."

"so what?"

"Actually, it's because restoring my divine power will allow me to return to my original form."

"What's wrong with this?"

"I wasn't good the way I used to be."

"What's wrong?"

"As old as you are now."

"!!!"

Xia Zhen got angry.

"I'm not old at all!"

"I did not mean that."

"You are!"

"Oh, don't be angry."

"You've gone too far!"

"Then I'll share some with you?"

"a little?"

"Half is fine."

"Then I'll forgive you, old woman."

"Ah……"

Xia Ci handed the bottle to her directly, not worried that she would drink it all.

Xia Zhen felt very satisfied; her best friend was indeed reliable.

"So, what exactly was wrong with your original self?"

"Are you stupid?"

"!"

"I'm just the right size to be your cousin now. If I turned back into my old self as the older sister, how could I call him 'cousin'?"

"..."

"understood?"

"You really have to call me 'cousin,' right?"

"After all, this is my exclusive nickname."

Xia Zhen pouted.

"Who knows? Maybe someone is still secretly shouting it somewhere right now."

Chapter 384 Children Get Harder to Raise When They Get Older (4K)

Inazuma, Kamisakura Taisha Shrine.

Yae no Miko sat alone in her room, reading the short letter in her hands by the bright light.

In the afternoon, Ying had already returned to the castle tower. The lockdown order had just been lifted, and it was spring planting season. Inazuma was in a state of disarray, with countless government affairs waiting for General Raiden to handle. She was indeed very busy.

Because of Shin's instructions in the letter, Yae no Miko did not tell him the truth about Shin, after all, she knew Kage's personality.

An incurable sister-obsessed person.

If he knew that his sister had not perished, he probably would have abandoned Inazuma and sailed alone to Liyue.

Yae no Miko read the letter several more times. Although the content was not much, she could still discern some hidden information from it.

For example, Zhen specifically mentioned her cousin twice in the letter, who is the Mr. Xia that Qi Liangliang mentioned before.

One time, she said that her cousin's fried tofu was delicious, and that little fox, you would definitely love it.

One time, he said that his cousin would be taking everyone on a trip this year, and that he would come to Inazuma then, so Little Fox didn't need to worry.

Based on these two mentions alone, it's clear that Raiden Shin seems to have a very close relationship with her cousin, and that she listens to him a lot.

Or rather, for some reason, she had to follow his arrangements.

Yae no Miko lowered her head and stroked the paper, muttering to herself softly.

"Who exactly is this Mr. Xia?"

There was a knock at the door.

"Mr. Yashiro."

"Come in."

A witch came in and handed over some papers.

"This is the intelligence about Zhu Zi that you instructed me to collect."

"very good."

The witch then took out a small, sealed bottle containing a seven-colored liquid.

"This is rainbow juice that I bought from a merchant."

"how much did you spend?"

"One thousand Mora".

"Remember to go to the warehouse to get reimbursed later."

"Ah."

"You go back and rest first."

"Yes."

The priestess quietly excused herself and closed the door.

Yae no Miko carefully put the letter away before starting to look at the intelligence reports.

"Zhu Zi, female, eighteen years old, from Inazuma, her father's name is Yao, her mother's name is Man. She longed for the outside world since she was a child. In the middle of last year, she built a bamboo raft and then crossed the sea alone, leaving Inazuma..."

The more Yae no Miko looked at him, the stranger his expression became.

Mid-last year...

At that time, Inazuma's isolation policy had not been lifted, and the sea storms were still ongoing. How did she, an ordinary person, manage to get through unscathed?

Moreover, how did such a simple bamboo raft manage to reach Liyue safely?
