I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 758

Like a gentle morning breeze, like smooth jade, like raging lightning, like tender lake water, like a burning flame, like a quiet block of ice, like a blooming Patissana...

This dance seems to contain all the scenery of the world.

After Xia Ci finished her dance, the audience fell completely silent.

Xia Zhi clapped his hands lightly, and the sound of the applause snapped everyone out of their daze. Everyone quickly joined in the applause.

The atmosphere was unusually enthusiastic, quite different from Yura's previous performances.

Yura looked at Xia Ci on the stage, remaining silent.

After a brief discussion, the judges awarded it an extremely high score, close to perfect.

When the competition ended, Xia Ci easily won the championship based on the scores, while Youla came in second place.

The dance offered to the gods can never compare to the dance performed by the gods themselves.

Fortunately, the second-place winner also receives a prize, although it is much less than the first-place winner.

As Xia Ci went up on stage to receive her award, Yura stood next to her and said, "Congratulations."

Xia Ci nodded and said, "Same to you."

Yura added, "But... it doesn't seem like the Flower Goddess Dance you're performing."

Xia Ci said with a serious expression, "No, what I danced was the Dance of the Flower Goddess."

Yura shook her head: "You don't need to lie to me. I've seen Sumerian people dance the Flower Goddess Dance, not like this."

Xia Ci looked at her and suddenly laughed, "Is it possible that the Flower Goddess Dance you saw was fake?"

Yura paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Impossible. She was a very famous Sumeru dancer. It is said that she danced that dance at the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival before... However, I think the dance you danced before was better."

"Right, you danced very well too."

"You deserved the championship today. I'll remember this grudge."

"?"

Xia Ci looked at Youla with a strange expression.

Yura had a completely matter-of-fact expression on her face.

Xia Ci asked, "You just said you hold grudges?"

Yura nodded: "Yes, I specifically took the day off to participate in the competition, but I didn't win. It's like I wasted half a day, and it's all because of you..."

Xia Ci smiled and said, "So that's what you meant. It really is because of me..."

A hint of interest flickered in her eyes. She felt that this girl named Yura was quite interesting, daring to hold a grudge against even the gods, although she knew that the other party was actually joking.

The two of them walked off the stage together.

Amber ran to Yura's side and asked, "Yura, you took the day off today, right?"

"Ah."

"What do you have planned for the afternoon?"

"No."

"Then come and play with us!"

"Play?"

"It's just shopping. I haven't gone shopping with you in a long time."

Yura thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."

Amber was very happy and went over to hug her shoulders.

The image of a fire-type beauty and an ice-type beauty snuggling together is fantastic.

Dragon King Wendy waved to everyone. They had made money that morning and said they were going to go to the tavern to continue drinking.

Since Wendy and Diona are incompatible, it's not appropriate for them to go shopping together.

Xia Ci went to Xia Zhi's side and said, "Cousin, you won the music competition and I won the dance competition. Don't you think we get along very well?"

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Even so, Wendy is still a champion."

Xia Ci scoffed, "His championship was so weak. Cousin, what did you think of my Flower Goddess Dance? Was it good?"

Xia Zhi pushed up his modified "crystal planarian glasses" and said, "Sorry, my cousin is blind and can't see."

I'm asking how you feel!

"I feel... okay."

"You should remember seeing the goddess of flowers dancing, shouldn't you?"

"Some impression."

"So, do you think she danced better, or did I dance better?"

"Her."

"Cousin, I'll give you one more chance."

"she."

"why?"

She wasn't wearing shoes when she jumped.

"..."

Xia Ci lowered her head, looked at the shoes on her feet, and fell into deep thought.

My cousin is a foot fetishist?

I don't remember, do I?

Xia Ci couldn't help but turn her head to look at Shen He.

Look downward.

The shoes that landed on Shen He's feet.

Jailers and such...

At this moment, Xia Zhi spoke up, "Cousin, I was just joking."

Xia Ci withdrew her gaze and said, "Hmph, I'll dance barefoot for you next time."

It was almost noon, so everyone found a restaurant and went in to eat.

The restaurant is quite upscale.

Everyone was quite familiar with each other, except for Yura, whom I met today and was considered a guest.

Naturally, the guests should order first.

Yura looked at the expensive prices on the menu handed to her, paused for a moment, and then ordered only a few inexpensive home-style dishes.

She rarely eats at restaurants.

Most of the time, she was out on missions, eating the rations she brought with her.

When she's not on duty, she usually cooks for herself at home.

Unlike her usual aloofness and sharpness, Yura is actually quite skilled in cooking and can make excellent dishes. In her spare time, she will also exchange cooking experiences with Noelle.

Her guerrilla squad possessed the Knights' best rations—a moon-shaped pie. These portable rations were incredibly delicious, and everyone who tasted them raved about them. The prototype for this pie came from Yura's own homemade desserts.

Even though they had long since fallen from grace, the Lawrence family still aspired to return to the ruling class. In preparation for this great moment, they were so strict with their children's education and upbringing that it bordered on the pathological.

The so-called "duties of the noble" are to be impeccable in every aspect. This includes not only demeanor, etiquette, and scholarship, but also culinary skills and housework.

The Lawrence family believed that, [the liberated Mond family lacked manners and refinement. Even if the family regained power, they might not be able to find suitable servants. They must be careful not to fall into the trap of vulgarity.]

The Lawrence family's culinary instructor was extremely demanding. A difference of just half a spoonful of flour in the dough, a few grains of salt in the seasoning, or two seconds off the baking time could all result in scolding and punishment. For Yora, her enviable culinary skills were merely one of the useless consequences of adhering to outdated family rules.

As the eldest daughter of the family, Yura grew up in such a strict environment, having to deal with all sorts of aristocratic classes every day, with only dance bringing her a little comfort.

"Miss Yura, please order a few more dishes!"

"That's enough, you can order."

Yura handed the menu back to her.

Then she saw everyone order all the most expensive dishes on the menu.

The people of Liyue... are really rich.

The so-called aristocratic demeanor can be seen in the details of Yura's dining.

The girl sat with extremely upright posture, and her eating movements were elegant and slow, with the size of her lips opening each time seemingly the same.

In contrast, Amber, sitting next to Yura, seemed much more relaxed, chatting and laughing as she ate, not even noticing when she accidentally got a little sauce on her lips.

Judging from this scene alone, it's hard to believe that these two people are actually good friends.

Yura had initially thought that everyone had ordered too much food and there would be a lot left over.
