I'm a male god in Liyue

In the mirror not far away, Fukaros's image appeared.

She looked at Funina, who seemed no different from usual, and asked, "Funina, don't you feel your divine power is getting stronger?"

Funina didn't care: "I already felt it, so what?"

Fukaros asked, "Aren't you surprised?"

Fu Ningna chuckled: "What's so surprising? Anything my cousin gives me is naturally excellent. Is there any need to doubt it? This is just my cousin's love for me."

Fukalos paused for a moment, then said, "...Let's settle this."

Chapter 530 The Inside Story (4K)

After breakfast, Xia Zhi arrived at the West Wind Knights' encampment.

I knocked on the door and went inside. Qin was already handling official business.

"Good morning, Commander Qin."

"Good morning, Mr. Xia. All the necessary documents for opening the pet shop are here, and I have already approved them."

"sorry to bother you."

"It was nothing, Mr. Xia, please don't be so polite. Since you're here, please have a cup of tea."

"Alright."

Qin got up and walked to the tea table, picked up the kettle and tea leaves to make tea.

The two men sat facing each other, drinking and chatting about the business of the pharmacy.

Qin sighed softly, as if complaining, "Ever since Noelle went there to become the store manager, I feel like my life rhythm has become a bit chaotic."

"Oh?"

“Noelle used to come knocking on my door right on time to remind me when it was time to eat. If I was too busy to eat, she would save a meal for me and bring it over to me when I finished what I was doing. Now that she’s not here, I always end up overdoing it.”

"Principal Qin should still pay attention to her diet."

"There's nothing I can do. The Grand Master isn't in Mondstadt, so I can only try my best."

"Teacher Qin could try setting an alarm on her phone."

"Um...actually, I wanted to ask Mr. Xia another question..."

"what?"

"Um... do you still have instant noodles?"

"Instant noodles?"

Xia Zhi chuckled upon hearing this.

"There are none available for the time being."

Qin was a little disappointed.

Xia Zhi then said, "But since Commander Qin needs it, I'll make some more tonight and bring them to you then."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"No, it's nothing at all."

"Thank you very much."

The two then started talking about the pet shop.

Qin asked curiously, "I saw in the group chat that Mr. Xia is planning to make Miss Rosalia the store manager?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes."

"Why would Mr. Xia have such an idea?"

"After thinking it over, I realized that among my friends in Mondstadt, only Miss Rosalia seems to be the most suitable."

"Yeah……"

"Well, whether she makes money or not is not important. What matters is that she is someone who genuinely loves cats. And Miss Rosalia is able to take care of Little White to such an extent that she is undoubtedly that kind of person."

"Is Mr. Xia's reason for choosing her really that simple?"

"Yes."

Qin took a sip of tea, a strange expression on her face: "I see. I thought Mr. Xia's actions had some deeper meaning."

"Oh?"

"Does Mr. Xia know Miss Rosalia's background?"

"I'm new here and have only met Miss Rosalia a few times. I don't know anything about this. Does what you're saying, Commander Qin, mean... that Miss Rosalia's background is unusual?"

“That’s right. Strictly speaking, Miss Rosalia is not a real nun.”

"Elaborate."

Qin recalled the relevant files she had seen in that archive room and said, "Miss Rosalia was born in a remote mountain village. Shortly after her birth, she was kidnapped by a gang of thieves who massacred the village. Raised by the thieves, she learned combat skills from a young age, working as a thief while also doing odd jobs for the gang. She was both a servant and a machine; both a thief and a child. She fought against outsiders and against her own comrades; she struggled in hunger and cold and grew up in competition."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall the shocking old wounds he had observed on Rosalia. It turned out that she had lived in such a terrible environment as the bandit gang, which explained why she was like this.

"This band of thieves was wiped out by the Knights of Favonius a few years later. As the youngest member, Rosalia was considered to still have room for repentance. The Knights' Commander, Falgar, brought her to Mondstadt."

Qin said in a low voice.

"The Grand Master sincerely wished Rosalia could integrate into Mondstadt and advised her: 'Go to church and cleanse yourself in the light of God. You can start over and live like an ordinary person.' From then on, Rosalia officially became a nun of the Church of Favonius."

Xia Zhi noticed: "On the surface?"

Jean nodded: "In secret, she's an executioner. To the other nuns, Rosalia is elusive, often disappearing without a word for days at a time. But in reality, she's handling tasks that only she can accomplish in places unseen by others. Strange merchants, suspicious travelers—are these people harmful to Mondstadt? Investigate, follow, and, if necessary, torture..."

It sounds similar to Miss Yelan from Liyue, both of them are doing missions involving information that cannot be revealed to the public.

After listening, Xia Zhi asked thoughtfully, "Is it alright for Commander Qin to tell me such a private matter so directly?"

Qin looked at him and said, "I believe Mr. Xia won't go around spreading rumors."

Xia Zhi said, "But I am ultimately an outsider."

Qin said earnestly, "But Mr. Xia is also a close friend of Lord Fengshen."

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "So, Commander Qin knew the true identity of that drunken poet."

Qin seemed a little helpless as she said, "Although Lord Barbatos is a bit willful, since Mr. Xia has gained His approval, his character is undoubtedly impeccable. And Miss Rosalia is also considered a member of our Knights of Favonius. Mr. Xia is planning to poach her from here. I've thought about it, and I still need to communicate these things to you first."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "I understand, thank you for letting me know."

The executioner doesn't matter.

Anyway, most of his employees were troubled girls.

If you really think about it, only Yao Yao, Zhu Zi, and Noelle are somewhat normal.

The two chatted for a while and then finished their tea.

Qin unconsciously rubbed her neck with her hand, making a tired and sore sound.

Xia Zhi understood what she meant and offered to give her a massage.

Qin readily agreed, cleared out the desk, and lay down on it.

Just as she was enjoying the massage, she suddenly remembered something, picked up her phone, and sent a message.

Xia Zhi glanced at it from God's perspective.

It was sent to Lisa.

As for the content... it really is about him and massage.

After Xia Zhi finished massaging Qin and took his leave, he had just stepped out of the office when he heard a charming and languid voice.

Lisa stood leisurely outside the door: "Mr. Xia, I've been waiting for you."

Xia Zhi feigned ignorance: "Miss Lisa, what's this?"

Lisa walked over and generously took his hand: "I've been busy concocting potions these past few days, and it's really worn me out. Qin told me that Mr. Xia is also skilled in massage, so I'd like to ask Mr. Xia to help me relax as well."

"So that's what happened."

"May I?"

"Naturally."

"I will pay according to the rules."

"Hey, money doesn't matter. Miss Lisa and I are friends. I just want to help my friend out."

So, Xia Zhi followed Lisa to the alchemy workshop on the second floor of the library next to Qin's office.

The large table with the alchemical equipment had been cleaned up by Lisa at some point.

Then, on this table, Xia Zhi gave Lisa a complete makeover.

After Xia Zhi took his leave, Lisa leaned against the door, feeling weak and powerless all over.

She felt that all the massages she had experienced in Xumi before were fake.
