I'm a male god in Liyue

"really?"

"real."

"so amazing!"

"Hehe, Master has lots of amazing things!"

Xiangling then explained the effects of those extraordinary kitchen utensils to Xiaogong.

Xiao Gong listened and exclaimed in amazement once again.

She couldn't help but look at Xia Zhi sitting at the table over there; it seemed that the Palace Master was talking to him about something.

Xiaogong was somewhat curious!

She tried to eavesdrop.

Although the two tables were not far apart, she found that she could not hear a single word.

Oops!

Could it be that I have lost my hearing like my father?

Xiaogong couldn't help but doubt herself. She glanced at the other tables and realized that she could hear voices coming from them.

My ears... seem fine?

Xiaogong breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that his ears were alright. The chief priest must have blocked out the sound of his voice.

Then, she suddenly discovered something interesting.

Xiao Gong lowered his voice and said, "Xiang Ling."

Xiangling asked, puzzled, "Hmm? What's wrong? Xiaogong?"

Xiao Gong said gossipily, "Look at that table over there, that's the person there, did you see her? I noticed she's been peeking at Mr. Xia several times."

"..."

Xiangling looked at the person Xiaogong had pointed out, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"She is also my mentor."

"Huh? You have two masters?"

"No, I actually have several masters. She is my eldest master, True Lord Ge Chenlang City."

"True Lord? The Immortal of Liyue!?"

"Ok!"

Wow! I never knew Xiangling had such a powerful background!

"Hehe, no, actually my family owns a restaurant, Wanmintang, I don't know if you've heard of it?"

"I heard from Sister Beidou! She said she loves eating at Wanmintang, and she always orders the stir-fried Sichuan peppercorns!"

"You know Sister Beidou too?"

"Yes, I know her! Sister Beidou is a really nice person!"

"Yeah! I also think she's a really nice person! Every time she goes out to sea, I ask her to bring back some local specialties, and she always manages to catch a lot of fresh ingredients! Octopus tentacles are best for soup, and sea bream should be stir-fried with chili peppers. Not only Sister Beidou, but the crew of the Southern Cross also love my cooking!"

……

By the time they finished their meal, Xiangling and Xiaogong had become inseparable best friends.

Girls' friendships are that simple.

Suddenly remembering a question, Xiao Gong asked curiously, "Xiang Ling, does Mr. Xia like wearing glasses?"

Xiangling shook her head, lowered her voice, and whispered, "No, Master wears glasses because he can't see."

Xiaogong looked on incredulously.

"Mr. Xia is blind? Is that true?"

--

At this moment, on the sea thousands of miles away.

Beidou is standing at the bow of the ship, checking the navigation conditions in the distance.

Suddenly, she sneezed without warning.

The sailor next to her looked at her and said, "Sister Beidou, do you have a cold?"

"What a joke! I'm perfectly healthy! And the weather's nice too! How could I possibly catch a cold!"

Beidou took out a bottle of wine, brought it to his lips, and took a big gulp.

A spicy taste slid down my throat.

Beidou exhaled a breath of alcohol, wiped the liquid from his mouth, and frowned, saying, "Although it's wine from Dawn Winery, it still doesn't taste as good as the cocktails Diona makes."

She put down the bottle, looked at the vast, boundless sea, and sighed again.

"After sailing for so many days, my mouth feels completely tasteless. I really miss Xiangling's cooking!"

--

Narukami Taisha Shrine, cafeteria.

Xia Zhi was listening to Yae no Miko talk about Yurakusai.

Legend has it that during the time when the Great Fox Bai Chen was alive, he had six disciples, all of whom were highly skilled in magic and versatile. They were responsible for assisting the mistress Bai Chen in coordinating shrine affairs and protecting the safety of Yingxiang Mountain.

Youlezhai is among these six.

The same applies to the Fox Abode Palace.

He was a great fox spirit, highly accomplished in both literature and tea, and was considered a first-rate refined person by Inazuma.

In short, this Yurakusai is Inazuma's version of the True Lord of Water and Mountain.

Xia Zhi found this amusing and asked, "Have you found his ghost yet?"

The divine child nodded: "Yes, he resides within a landscape painting that was once created."

Xia Zhi asked, "So, does my cousin mean she wants to bring him back to life?"

Xia Zhen looked at him and said, "Is it okay?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Of course. If the ghost is found, resurrection is just a matter of lifting a finger for me."

Xia Zhen smiled brightly: "Thanks."

She lowered her head and took a bite of the food in her bowl.

This was a dish her younger sister specially added for her.

It contains slime, giving it a sticky texture, but the taste isn't strange at all; it's surprisingly delicious.

Xia Zhen's smile deepened.

After we finished eating.

Xia Zhi and Xia Zhen arrived at the cherry blossom tree behind the shrine.

The environment here is very quiet.

"Take that painting out."

Xia Zhi casually set up a time barrier.

"Ah."

The divine child took out the ancient painting and slowly rolled it up.

There was a lightning bolt mark flashing on it.

This was actually applied temporarily before they arrived.

Narukami Shrine is too close to the sacred cherry tree, so the [Sacred Cherry Tree Purification] is most powerful there. If it is not sealed, even with the concealment of demonic power, Yurakusai will be directly purified.

Xia Zhi examined the ancient painting with some curiosity, sensing a trace of demonic energy, ghostly energy, and the aura of the abyss.

Once the painting was fully opened, accompanied by the crackling of purple lightning, a strange aura flowed out of the painting, condensing in the air into the blurry shadow of a middle-aged man.

He first looked around, then looked at Xia Zhi, lowered his head, and said with a hint of respect, "You Le Zhai greets Lord Xia."

"you know me?"

“The divine child told me about you.”

"I see."

Xia Zhi scrutinized the illusory figure before him.

His current state is even worse than that of Akabane, who had lost most of his memories; he is on the verge of dissipating.

Moreover, he doesn't have any progress bar.

Xia Zhi remembered that Miss Chi Yu didn't have any progress bar at first. She would come over every night to steal incense until one night, a golden progress bar suddenly appeared on her.

Xia Zhi wasn't quite sure of the specific reason, but he guessed it might be a matter of strength.

Now we can conduct an experiment.
