I'm a male god in Liyue

There was a smell of roasted meat on her father's clothes, and another familiar scent—it was the smell of Dvalin…

And it's very strong! For Dad's clothes to have such a strong smell, they must have been in very close contact with Tvarin!

The little girl paused for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks.

At first, she felt a little dissatisfied, then she felt a little flustered, then she felt a little wronged, and then she felt a little lost...

The little girl began to feel anxious and uncertain. She didn't know what to do in this situation, so she could only hold her father's arm tightly and stare blankly at herself.

Shen He had been watching Xia Lin closely. Noticing that she suddenly seemed a little down, he leaned closer and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Lin looked up at Shen He, bit her lip, and said nothing.

Shen He asked twice more in a low voice, but the girl still wouldn't say anything. Shen He had no choice but to give up, sit up straight, and go back.

Xia Ci, who was not far away, saw the whole scene and couldn't help but reveal a playful expression on her lips.

Tsk, dragons, their innate possessiveness...

Xia Zhen turned her head and noticed her best friend's strange expression. She asked curiously, "What mischief are you thinking about now?"

Xia Ci glanced at her and said, "What bad things? I was just thinking about that Wind Demon Dragon."

"What happened to it?"

"It's just like a beautiful gem."

"That's true."

"It would feel wonderful to hold and play with."

"..."

After a while, all the ordered dishes were served.

We didn't order any of the store's drinks; Diona will mix some for us on the spot.

First of all, congratulations to Xia Zhi for winning the music instrument competition.

Xia Zhi took a sip of wine and thanked everyone for their congratulations.

This afternoon, besides Xia Zhi winning a championship, several other girls also achieved rankings in other competitions.

Xia Ci won the jigsaw puzzle competition.

Mona won the rock-paper-scissors competition, but it's hard to say whether she cheated.

Ying'er participated in the flower identification competition, but unfortunately only won third place. The champion was Miss Sugar.

Three little girls participated in a ring toss competition. Although they didn't win any prizes, they won several cute plush toys.

Zhu Zi and Chi Yu participated in the flower weaving competition, winning because of their participation.

……

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate them.

As agreed beforehand, Xia Zhi sent Xia Ci and Mona a black iron treasure chest.

After Xia Ci obtained the treasure chest, she opened it and got a mirror that could make the scenery reflected in the mirror look better.

The girls curiously took the "beauty mirror" and looked at themselves in it.

People like Xia Ci and Xia Zhen already have goddess-level looks and high charm, so looking in the mirror didn't change them much.

People like Zhu Zi and Ying Er were originally just ordinary people. Although they were young and beautiful, their appearance still had a lot of room for improvement. After looking in the mirror, they could clearly feel that their appearance had changed.

The biggest change was in Grandma Ping. In reality, she looked like an old woman, but in the mirror, she had an extremely young and beautiful face.

Liu Yun, who was watching from the side, was stunned for a moment because she realized that the face reflected in the mirror was exactly what A Ping looked like.

Klee exclaimed, "That's the beautiful older sister I saw that morning!"

The girls were a little confused: "What pretty older sister?"

Keli said, "That morning in the Dust Song Pot, Keli went to play with Yaoyao, and this is what Grandma Ping looked like when she opened the door for us!"

Most of the girls were surprised to learn that Grandma Ping wasn't using her real appearance, and looked at her in astonishment: "Wow? Grandma Ping is actually this beautiful!"

Liu Yun nodded beside him: "Yes, this is indeed what A Ping originally looked like."

Mona was a little confused: "If that's the case, why is Grandma Ping pretending to be an old woman?"

After all, her old lady is clearly quite old, but she loves to act young all the time, and she's not allowed to say a word about it...

Feeling everyone's gazes upon her, Granny Ping paused for a moment, then sighed. She waved her hand, dispelling the illusion surrounding her and revealing a young and beautiful face: "Actually, there's no particular reason; it's just a method of cultivation..."

Everyone seemed to understand but not quite: "Cultivation?"

Grandma Ping nodded and said, "Well, now that everyone knows, there's no point in me pretending anymore, so let's just change back."

Liu Yun looked at his best friend, who had become much more agreeable to him, and shook his head.

Spiritual practice? Who are you kidding?

After seeing the effects of the "Beauty Mirror," all that's left is the treasure chest in Mona's hand.

Mona didn't dare open it herself like Xia Ci had. She didn't trust her luck and decided to follow what Zhu Zi and the others had done during the New Year. She handed the treasure chest to Gan Yu and asked her to open it for her: "Please! Miss Gan Yu! Please help me open it and get something that's perfect for me!"

Gan Yu smiled helplessly: "...Let's make this clear first, if I don't get anything good, you can't blame me."

Mona said earnestly, "I promise I won't blame you!"

Gan Yu reached out and opened the box.

A strange light flashed.

The treasure chest has disappeared.

A spherical object appeared before everyone.

Mona exclaimed in delight, "It's a crystal ball! I've been needing a good planet for divination! This is wonderful! Thank you, Miss Gan Yu!"

Everyone looked curiously at the crystal ball in her hand and asked, "What's so special about it compared to an ordinary crystal ball?"

Mona picked up the crystal ball and looked at it: "I can't tell from the outside. I'll use it to predict the future... Who will be the champion of tomorrow's flying competition?"

Strange celestial images flashed across the crystal ball.

Mona deciphered the information, somewhat surprised: "It's actually..."

Everyone was curious: "Who is it?"

Mona stopped herself and said, "I'd better not say the result yet, otherwise it might interfere with tomorrow's match."

The girls laughed and scolded, "I hate people like you who keep me in suspense the most!"

Mona smiled and said, "This crystal ball seems to have some enhancement to divination. It responds faster than the original crystal ball. It feels quite useful. Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "No need to thank me. This is a prize you won yourself. There's no need for anyone to be envious. Good luck tomorrow. If you win the championship, you can also get the box."

The girls were very enthusiastic: "Yes!"

After dinner, as usual, everyone went for a walk by the Fruit Wine Lake and saw many people squatting by the lake fishing.

These are all competitors who will be participating in a fishing competition in a couple of days, and they are warming up here.

Diona and Xiangling also signed up for the fishing competition. Watching their competitors' actions, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xia Zhi comforted them, saying, "It's alright, I'll prepare some special bait for you, and I guarantee you'll catch big fish."

"really?"

"Do you remember when we went fishing at the beach last time?"

"I remember! Boss, the fish you caught was huge! It even broke your fishing rod!"

"That was because I used special bait."

"!"

After wandering around outside, we returned to the West Wind Church.

Everyone went to take a bath in the Chenge Pot first. Since Xia Zhi participated in a competition today, the girls were worried that he would be too tired, so they kindly did not come to ask him for a massage.

Xia Zhi didn't really care. Not massaging him would make him feel more relaxed, and massaging him also had its own kind of fun.

Grandma Ping used to bathe alone, but now that she has regained her youthful appearance, she bathes with everyone.

It definitely feels more lively with more people than alone.

Grandma Ping leaned against the pool wall, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Liu Yun leaned against her and suddenly asked, "Ah Ping, you didn't actually decide to dispel the illusion because everyone found out about this, did you?"

Grandma Ping didn't move, but instead asked, "So you know that too?"

Liu Yun glanced at her and said, "It must be because of the piece of music Mr. Xia played during the competition, right?"

Grandma Ping remained silent.

Liu Yun scooped up a handful of hot water and said, "Although I don't know what you felt from that piece of music, it's a good thing that it helped you wake up from that depressed state. Indeed, people should go out more often."

Grandma Ping said calmly, "This has nothing to do with going outside; it's because Mr. Xia's musical talent is too high."

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Of course I know that Mr. Xia has a very high level of musical talent..."

Grandma Ping curled her lip in disdain: "You, a stinking researcher, know something about music now?..."
