I'm a male god in Liyue

He remembered Ningguang once messaging him, saying that an editor from Inazuma had come to buy the copyrights of some books from Liyue Publishing, including the one he and Zhu Zi had written.

It turned out the other party was an editor from Yaedo.

Xia Zhi turned his head and asked, "Lord Ba Chong?"

Yae no Miko frowned, her posture delicate, and her tone somewhat mournful: "Natsu-kun, call me Miko."

Xia Zhi changed his address: "...Divine Child".

Yae no Miko immediately smiled charmingly: "What does Lord Xia want to know?"

Xia Zhi asked, "Did my novel sell well in Inazuma?"

Yae no Miko nodded and said, "Very good!"

Xia Zhi pondered, "So, Inazuma also likes reading cultivation novels...?"

Yae no Miko's tone shifted to surprise: "Ah? So the novel Xia-kun wrote was a cultivation novel?"

"Otherwise, what kind of novel did you think it was?"

"Isn't it that kind of novel?"

"..."

Hana Sanri listened to the conversation between the two and felt a little curious.

She glanced at the promotional posters at the entrance of Yaedo Hall and whispered to Qiqi, "Does Mr. Xia still write books?"

Qi Qi nodded: "Yes, the book above was written by Master."

Hana Sanri seemed lost in thought: "Oh..."

Xia Ci smiled and said, "If you're interested, why don't you buy a copy and take a look?"

"Ok!"

I definitely have to support the book written by my savior!

Hana ran over, and a moment later she returned with a beautifully bound book in her hand.

Yae no Miko glanced at it and said with a smile, "This is a collector's edition, so the price will be a bit higher."

Hana Sanri blinked, a hint of foxy charm in her eyes, and said, "It's twice as expensive as the regular version."

Yae no Miko said with great experience, "...That's how it should be done, so that the book has collectible value. Moreover, the more expensive the book is, the more of a share Xia Jun will receive in the end, according to the signed copyright contract."

"...You understand sales."

The group continued walking towards the outskirts of Inazuma Castle.

Suddenly, Yae no Miko leaned closer to Xia Zhi and whispered, "Lord Xia..."

"What is it, Divine Child?"

"Xia Junshu's first book was very popular in Daoqi. Everyone is now eagerly awaiting the second and third books. I want to sign the last two books as well."

How did you know I had finished writing the next two books?

"I've read them all; I downloaded them from the group files."

"But you just got the phone, right? How could you have time to look at it? You're lying in bed at night, secretly looking at your phone instead of sleeping, aren't you?"

"Aren't Xia Jun's books perfect for reading secretly under the covers by yourself?"

This pink-furred fox... when I first met her, I thought she was quite sophisticated, but now that we're closer, she talks so much like Ying'er, and she likes to make suggestive remarks all the time...

Yae no Miko said in a serious tone, "Xia-kun, don't get the wrong idea. As the editor-in-chief of Yae-do, it's perfectly normal for me to work overtime overnight to review the follow-up content of best-selling works, right?"

"really."

"So, what is Xia Jun's opinion?"

"These two books are the culmination of my hard work, which I spent many days at sea writing."

"so?"

"You have to pay more."

"Of course. When he signed his first book, Xia Jun was still a new author and naturally didn't have much say in the contract. But now Xia Jun has proven the value of his work and deserves a larger share of the profits."

Hana Sanri, who was listening to the two discussing the work contract, couldn't help but turn her head and ask in a low voice, "Qiqi, does Mr. Xia need Mora?"

Qi Qi shook her head and said, "Master doesn't lack Mora. He writes books just because he finds them interesting, and he's negotiating now just because he finds it interesting."

Hana Sanri seemed to understand again: "...I understand."

At the roadside stalls, everyone bought some miscellaneous items.

Hana Sanri witnessed Xia Ci and Xia Zhen's incredibly strong bargaining skills.

Watching the stall owner keep giving in to the two goddesses' words, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Qiqi, do they... also find this amusing?"

Qi Qi nodded: "Mm."

Hana Sanri's gaze became somewhat strange.

She recalled the memories she had inherited from the Fox Palace.

Although it's not a complete collection, it still contains many scenes of her having fun everywhere.

Previously, Hana Sanri thought that this might be because [Kouzai-gumi] was naturally playful.

But now that she has witnessed the three gods' amusing behavior, she seems to understand that this is just a common problem among immortal beings.

Time is too long; if you don't learn to find some fun for yourself, you'll eventually go crazy.

Hana Sanri lowered her head, looking at the hardcover novel in her hand.

I overpaid.

I should have asked Xia Zhen and Xia Ci to help me negotiate the price; it would have been much cheaper.

However, this would mean that Yae no Miko would earn less money, and Mr. Xia's share would also decrease.

The situation seems a bit of a dilemma, but isn't that more interesting?

Hana Sanri's lips curled up slightly, then she froze.

Wait... why did I suddenly have this thought in my mind?

...Could it be that I, who inherited the memories of [Fox Abode Palace], am also a born entertainer?

After leaving Inazuma City, Xia Zhi immediately used a spatial teleportation technique to bring everyone back to Shadow Mountain.

Standing at the entrance of the shrine, you can see the enormous cherry blossom tree behind it.

This place is closest to the Divine Cherry Tree, and after the [Divine Cherry Tree Great Purification] ceremony is held here, it is considered the place with the best effect of exorcising evil spirits on the entire Narukami Island.

However, because Xia Zhi had already cast a time-stopping spell on everyone, Hana Sanri was not weakened by the ritual in any way.

While this approach can isolate the effects of the ritual, it cannot continue indefinitely; the Flower Scattering Village must be able to live a normal life.

Xia Zhi said to Hua Sanli, "Come with me."

Hana Sanri nodded: "Okay, Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi canceled the time freeze for everyone else, then took Hana Sanri to a room in the shrine and knocked on the door.

Xia Le's voice came from inside: "Big brother, I'm coming right away!"

The door opened, revealing Xia Le's smiling face.

"I just sensed the aura of the power of time approaching, and I knew it must be my older brother. Sigh, this older sister looks so unfamiliar..."

Xia Le looked at Hana Sanri with curiosity.

Hana Sanri seemed a little reserved and said, "Hello."

Xia Zhi introduced, "This is Hana Sanri, she will be living with Qi Qi from now on. This is Xia Le, you should have heard of her other name, the Sky Dragon of Mondstadt."

Hana Sanri's memories surged, her expression instantly turning to surprise, and she blurted out, "Dvalin?"

Xia Le shook her head and said seriously, "I am Xia Le now."

Hana Sanri paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Oh, okay, Miss Xia Le."

Xia Le smiled and said, "Welcome to Hana Sanri-neechan's group. Big brother, who came to see me?"

Xia Zhi said, "I came to see Xia Lin."

Xia Le said, "She's in bed."

Because of the temporal relationship, only Xia Le is unaffected and can directly see Xia Zhi and Hua Sanli.

Charlene can't see it.

Xia Zhi pulled her in as well.

Charlene was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Daddy!"

When Hana Sanri heard this title, she felt her mind become a little confused.

Mr. Xia... he even has a daughter?

Xia Lin threw herself into Xia Zhi's arms.
