I'm a male god in Liyue

Moreover, she had never heard of that massage parlor having any magical massage techniques that could help with weight loss.

Lisa asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Qin nodded: "You've eaten instant noodles before. Eating one box of that stuff is like eating a meal. I've been eating five or six boxes a day lately while working overtime, and I haven't been eating much. See, I haven't gained weight, have I?"

Lisa looked Qin up and down, and said, "Indeed..."

As a scholar, Lisa couldn't help but become very interested in this massage technique that could help with weight loss.

I'm starting to want to study this.

Upon reaching the intersection, Yura bid farewell, saying she was setting off to catch up with the guerrilla squad.

After Qin and Lisa had walked away, Yura turned around and silently walked into a bookstore on the street corner.

After buying Mr. Xia's masterpiece inside, she headed towards the city gate.

There's going to be something good tonight.

Chapter 506 The Knight (4K)

With nothing else to do after the meal, Xia Zhi sat down next to Xiao and listened to him recount the events that had occurred in the Layered Rock Abyss recently.

The journey was uneventful until the three of them encountered a strange secret realm. They found a magical artifact called the Taiwei Yipan underground, which had the strange ability to distort time. It was said to have been given to Yelan's ancestor by a mysterious immortal.

After listening, Xia Zhi felt somewhat doubtful about the true creator of this magical artifact.

After all, to create an object that can affect time, one must have mastered the power of time, just like himself and Dvalin, who has just transformed into the Time Dragon today.

Given that immortals generally possess platinum-level strength, it might not be enough.

Xiao looked at him and said, "If Mr. Xia is interested in the Taiwei Instrument, you can borrow it from Miss Yelan after you return to Liyue."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mr. Xia, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Before you set off, you gave me the Bodhi beaded string, hoping that I would secretly protect Miss Yelan and Miss Yanfei and not tell them, but I... accidentally let it slip one time."

This is actually a lie. Xiao is usually a man of few words, so he wouldn't break such a promise.

However, the Emperor had told him that he must not keep this a secret and that he had to tell Miss Yelan.

Xiao was caught in a dilemma on the road, but in the end, he followed the Emperor's request and found an opportunity to tell Miss Yelan about it.

He couldn't pretend nothing had happened, otherwise Mr. Xia and Miss Yelan would find out the truth after a conversation, so it was better to be honest now.

Xiao lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I broke my promise..."

Xia Zhi chuckled and said, "It's alright, it wasn't a big deal anyway. Miss Ye Lan knows, so be it. Great Sage, there's no need to blame yourself for this."

Xiao seemed still unable to let it go, and said, "Mr. Xia, if you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me."

Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Okay, by the way, the Dragon King told me last night that he wants to get you to play games too."

"Take me to play video games?"

Xiao was taken aback. Didn't the Dragon King go to bed early last night? When did he go to meet with Mr. Xia?

"It's not reality, it's a dream."

"Dreamland..."

Upon hearing the word "dream," a slight tremor flashed in Xiao's eyes.

This reminded him of that unbearable past.

Once young and naive, he was exploited by a demon god who captured him and made him a powerful demon under his command, ordering him to commit countless cruel and bloody acts. He committed numerous acts of killing, shattered many ideals, and was even forced to swallow the dreams of the defeated, suffering immense pain yet powerless to change his fate. Until the Emperor freed him and bestowed upon him the pseudonym "Xiao".

Xiao silently suppressed the surging memories and his eyes returned to normal.

"Mr. Xia means that the Dragon King and the others were all in a dream last night?"

"Yes, not only the Dragon King and his group, but also Mr. Zhongli."

"The Emperor is here too?"

"Well, I can't explain the specifics to you. I'll pull you in tonight. Don't resist. Once you're in the dream, you'll understand quickly."

"it is good."

"We were supposed to send you a cell phone too, but we don't have enough Void Terminals right now. We'll have to wait for the people from Sumeru to send one over, so it will be a little later."

"cell phone?"

"It can be considered a mechanism that enables long-distance communication."

"Oh."

Xiao silently memorized it.

Not far away, Wendy, emboldened by the alcohol, started playing the xylophone again.

As Xiao listened to the music carried on the wind, he felt his emotions calm down, and the sadness he had felt over the incident at Fushe dissipated somewhat.

The Emperor's words indeed made sense.

I wonder what that game will be like tonight. Since it has gained the Emperor's approval, it must be very good...

--

Sugar was carrying a food box.

Back in the Knights of Favonius' alchemy workshop, Sugar walked to the door of a room and gently knocked.

"Mr. Abedo, are you inside?"

"Here I am."

A moment later, the door to the room opened.

Aberdo stood in the doorway, dressed in casual clothes with colorful paint smeared on his cuffs.

Is Mr. Abedo painting?

"Yes, I had some inspiration this morning."

"Mr. Abedo has been drawing since this morning; he must have forgotten to eat again, right?"

"It's ok."

“No, Mr. Abedo, this is for you.”

"This is……"

"I was invited to dinner by Miss Ying'er and the others again today. Mr. Xia's cooking is especially delicious. I saw everyone else packing some leftovers, so I also packed some snacks to take home. Mr. Abedo, you should try some too, you definitely won't be disappointed!"

"Thank you very much."

Sugar handed the food box to her teacher and then curiously glanced at the easel in the room.

Although the painting above is not yet fully formed, some beautiful outlines can already be seen, and it seems to be a landscape painting.

Just as Sugar was about to look away, she was suddenly drawn to another painting hanging on the wall.

It was a painting she had never seen in this room before.

It must have been hung up by Mr. Abedo.

The painting depicts various Hilichurls surrounding a valiant young man wielding a spear and wearing a mask.

Seeing her stunned expression, Abedo asked, "Sugar? What's wrong?"

Sugar snapped out of her daze, pointed, and asked, "Is that Mr. Abedo's new painting?"

Abedo followed her finger and nodded: "Yes, I bought it from a small stall on the street. The stall owner's painting skills are very good. He painted this according to my request."

“I see… Mr. Abedo, remember to eat your snacks. I’m going to continue my research. I won’t disturb your painting any longer.”

"Ah."

Abeldo nodded and closed the door to the room.

Sugar stood outside the door, her brows slightly furrowed.

She was still thinking back to the painting she had just seen, which featured a bunch of Hilichurls.

What caught her attention was not the lifelike Hilichurls in the painting, but the valiant young man with a long spear and a mask.

Although the boy's face was completely covered by that strange mask, he still exuded a cold and arrogant aura that Sugar found somewhat familiar through the painting.

It seems... that boy is someone Sugar has seen before...

Sugar frowned and pondered his memories for a while.

Finally, a figure emerged in her heart.

It's him!

Sugar remembered!

She met the person she had lunch at the Chenge Pot earlier today.

The other person was sitting at another table not far away, and seemed rather taciturn.
