It's getting late, time to go to the kitchen and make breakfast for everyone.
As for the two diamond chests I just got last night, I'll open them tonight.
Xia Zhi changed her clothes and left the room.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Zhi found Liu Yun and said to her, "We have troubled you, True Lord, for many days now, so it is time for us to take our leave."
Liu Yun was taken aback: "When?"
"Tomorrow."
"So urgent? Staying a few more days won't hurt..."
"You're too kind, True Lord. We still have a few places to visit, so we won't stay any longer."
"That's...ok."
Watching Xia Zhi turn and leave, Liu Yun's expression became somewhat gloomy.
She didn't care about not being able to eat Mr. Xia's delicious meals; what she really missed was her two apprentices.
Although the house is still lively now, tomorrow, after Mr. Xia and his group leave, the Dragon King and Li Shui Xiao Yue will also say goodbye and leave, and I will be alone again.
Even the most serene and beautiful celestial paradise can become lonely and boring.
Seriously... how did I ever survive in this kind of environment before?
Liu Yun was lost in thought when she saw Shen He walking towards her.
"Master."
"Ok?"
We're leaving tomorrow.
"I know, Mr. Xia just told me. Be careful on the road."
This reminder seemed superfluous, since with three demon gods accompanying him, Shen He was safest wherever he went.
Shen He looked at Liu Yun, who seemed a bit upset, and asked, "Master, you're not going to go and study that dangerous mechanism again, are you?"
"That mechanism? I don't think so."
"Really not going to?"
"Of course, I have already discussed it with Mr. Xia, and the new mechanism has been completed, but it has not been tested yet."
When the topic turned to government agencies, Liu Yun's expression became slightly more excited.
"Mr. Xia said that the new mechanism is too destructive and it is difficult to find a suitable place on land to test it. He said that when he goes to Inazuma later, he will find an uninhabited area at sea to test it... If that happens, it will be a real pity."
"Master, what do you feel is a regret?"
"Unable to see their own mechanisms work effectively..."
"So that's why. In that case, Master, why don't you come with us?"
Liu Yun was taken aback: "Go together?"
Shen He nodded and said, "Since you're just staying at home with nothing to do anyway, why don't you come with us on a trip? We can go to Inazuma together and test your mechanisms yourself."
"This……"
Liu Yun was somewhat tempted.
Shen He asked softly, "Master, is there anything else you're worried about?"
“It’s not a concern, it’s just that Ah Ping told me before that the Emperor seems to want me to become a teacher at the school.”
"I see... What are you thinking, Master?"
"Me? I can manage with one or two kids, like you and Gan Yu, but if it's a whole group of kids, I'm afraid I won't have the patience..."
"So, Master is putting us in a difficult position? If you don't want to go, then don't go."
"But, Your Majesty..."
Shen He said earnestly, "Master, the Emperor is just the vice principal, the boss is the principal. You can follow the boss and be his tutor, it's the same."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's expression turned strange, and he said, "What you said makes some sense."
Shen He asked, "Has Master made a decision?"
Liu Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'll go pack my things and leave with you tomorrow. As for Mr. Xia..."
Shen He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll talk to the boss about this."
Liu Yun looked at the smile on her face and was slightly dazed.
Having grown accustomed to Shen He's expressionless face over the years, she still found it hard to get used to his normal demeanor these past few days.
However, Shen He is indeed much more attractive when he smiles.
Liu Yun sighed inwardly and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to go and say it."
--
Xia Zhi also found the Dragon King and told him about his plan to leave tomorrow.
The Dragon King said with some regret, "Since Mr. Xia has something to attend to, there's nothing I can do. I've had a rare few days of fun and excitement, and I've enjoyed spending time with everyone. I really don't want to part with you all."
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "Why bother, Dragon King? We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet and spend time together in the future."
The Dragon King nodded: "That's true... So, can we still play games together tonight?"
So that's what you were thinking about all along...
Xia Zhi nodded: "Of course, we'll contact each other by phone, and then I'll pull you all into the dream."
The Dragon King laughed and said, "That's excellent."
He didn't care about games; what mattered was that he felt Mr. Xia was a very worthwhile person to befriend, and he wanted to communicate and interact with him more.

Having some free time in the morning, Xia Zhi went to the lakeside outside and fished with everyone.
The scenery here is beautiful, but the best place is still this crystal-clear lake.
Although it was only early spring, the lake water was not cold at all; instead, it felt pleasantly warm when you dipped your hand in.
A corner of emerald green lotus leaves grew in the lake. Thanks to the warmth of the air conditioning, they bloomed year-round, their pink petals swaying gently, a truly captivating sight.
The girls waded into the water and collected many lotus pods from it.
They fished while peeling lotus seeds to eat, enjoying their fragrant taste – it was quite pleasant.
Sitting next to Xia Zhi was the Dragon King Ruo Tuo, who listened with great interest as this ancient being recounted some of his past secrets.
"I heard from the storytellers of Liyue that the Emperor found a spirit stone underground, carved it into the shape of a dragon, and finally carved the stone into its eyes. Is this true?"
"Although some of the rumors are untrue, it is true that Morax gave me my eyes and made a pact with me."
"What happened during the Demon God War?"
"It's nothing more than waging war everywhere..."
King Ruoduo recounted his past deeds.
After listening for a while, Xia Zhi suddenly asked, "What does the Dragon King think of that wind god of Mondstadt?"
"You mean Barbatos? I know Him very well; He used to come and drink with me all the time."
"Oh?"
"He's a great drinking buddy, very easygoing and free-spirited, and he enjoys playing the piano, which is quite beautiful. If you happen to meet him during your trip to Mondstadt, please give him my regards and tell him to come to Liyue to have a drink with me sometime."
“I will… I’ve heard that Mondstadt also has a guardian wind dragon named Dvalin, who is also a companion of the Anemo Archon.”
"Sigh, that little guy hasn't seen much of the world, that's why he was tricked by Barbatos with his music."
"Just that?"
"Of course."
"I thought that the Wind God and the Wind Dragon were both top-tier beings in the wind element, and that there was some kind of connection between them."
"Haha, such matters of fate are hard to predict, just like how I met Morax in the first place."
Xia Zhi nodded, feeling that the relationship between the seven elemental dragons and the seven gods in this world was exceptionally complex.
During last night's time travel, he learned something from Fucaros from five hundred years ago: the authority of the Seven Gods was actually taken from the Seven Ancient Elemental Dragons.
Logically speaking, the seven gods and the seven elemental dragons should be enemies of each other.
But that's not actually the case. The Wind God and Dvalin once fought side by side to defeat the Demon Dragon Durin, and the Rock God also fought alongside the Ruotuo Dragon King to defeat countless enemies. Xia Ci and the Grass Dragon King lived in peace with each other, and in Fontaine, Fukaros even invited the newly born Water Dragon King to serve as the Grand Judge, making him work for him for 500 years...
interesting.
Xia Zhi held the fishing rod and chuckled softly.
Whether it's a coincidence or not, it seems that most gods are accompanied by a dragon.
I am both a light-elemental mage and a dark-elemental mage, but there are no light-elemental dragons or dark-elemental dragons in this world.
However, from another perspective, he is an Outer God, and on the summit of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, he happens to be the burial place of a demonic dragon that descended from the outside world.
