I'm a male god in Liyue

Lord Xiaoyue coughed twice, reminding Lishui to watch her words.

"Later, Teacher Mona said she would do a divination for Sister Xia Ci to see if she could..."

"Cough cough cough..."

He had only heard half of what was said when he suddenly started coughing.

No, you're really something, doing a divination for the Great Tree King...

"Uncle Xiaoyue? Are you alright?"

"fine……"

The expression on the face of the True Lord of the Water Flowing could be seen as somewhat gloating.

"and after?"

"Later, Mona's divination ball broke."

"broken?"

"It's cracked and unusable. Teacher Mona said it's because the divination ball has been used for too long, which is why it broke."

The Moon-Slicing True Lord looked at him with pity.

He was ignorant and made wild guesses, which resulted in him damaging those old Mora coins that had been used for divination for thousands of years.

"Then, in the evening we went shopping, and at a stall, Teacher Mona bought a new divination ball."

"how much did you spend?"

"Six hundred thousand Mora."

"It's a bit expensive."

"It was originally going to cost one million Mora, but Sister Xia Ci and Sister Xia Zhen negotiated the price down to that! They're so amazing!"

Watching Yao Yao enthusiastically recount the scene, the three immortals exchanged glances, speechless. They felt that the image of those two elegant and wise goddesses had almost completely collapsed.

in the room.

Xia Zhi took out the small doll again.

He reached out and extracted some floating specks of light from the small doll.

This is the power of faith.

Although it was far less pure and concentrated than the faith power he had seen before towards the Rock King Emperor, its essence was the same.

Most importantly, this is Xia Zhi's own power of faith.

The giant of light that appeared in the battle of Guyun Pavilion was the incarnation of Xia Zhi. Those who were grateful for His great kindness bought His dolls and worshipped them sincerely. The power of their faith in Him was then concentrated in the dolls.

This practice is essentially no different from Liyue people kneeling before the Geo Archon statue at the Rock Temple.

Dolls and statues are just a medium.

Xia Zhi waved his hand, condensing the tiny specks of light into his palm and gently holding them.

The system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Absorbable faith power detected. Absorb?"

"Yes."

The tiny speck of light in his palm seemed to be drawn in by something and merged into his body.

This process of absorbing the power of faith gave Xia Zhi a strange sense of pleasure.

It's not physical pleasure, but spiritual pleasure.

But because he had too little power of faith, this pleasure did not last long; it was fleeting.

Xia Zhi felt a strange sense of loss, then he frowned and became wary.

This feeling is so addictive, even to the gods...

He seemed to understand somewhat why gods were so keen on collecting faith, and the tradition of offering incense in mythology...

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be without its downsides...

Xia Zhi opened the system panel and checked his attributes.

The bit of faith power I had just absorbed restored 0.003 points of my divine power.

Apart from that, no other changes occurred.

With such recovery efficiency, it's no wonder my cousin was still a tiny baby even after ruling Sumeru for so long.

Xia Zhi shook his head.

He had a prior pact with Morax that prevented him from actively developing his own faith.

These dolls have nothing to do with him; they were created by people themselves, so it doesn't mean he violated the contract.

However, this incident still piqued Xia Zhi's interest in the power of faith.

He opened the system's [Shop], searched for a book called [Detailed Explanation of the Power of Faith], bought it for 100 points, and began to read and understand it.

The book isn't very thick, but the content is quite obscure.

Xia Zhi read a few pages when he heard knocking on the wall next door.

Never mind, I'll stop watching for now.

Do your daily routine.

The following day, Friday.

Gan Yu came over as usual.

During dinner, Xia Zhi said, "Everyone should get up early tomorrow, because we're going to school again."

"Good boss!"

"When you visit this time, the school will be fully completed, and everyone can go and have a good tour of the teaching buildings."

"Uh-huh!"

"If you have time, you can also help with the setup. The school's opening ceremony is the day after tomorrow."

"Uh-huh!"

At night, Shen He said he was hungry as usual and went to get some food for his senior sister.

Gan Yu nodded.

After her junior sister left, she took out the little doll, gently stroked it, and sat on the bed, lost in thought.

Yujingtai.

Charlotte went to Ningguang's office.

"Lord Ningguang."

"We should create more buzz in tomorrow's newspapers."

“We have been promoting things at the school.”

"not enough."

Ningguang shook her head.

"You haven't written about my rumored relationship with Mr. Xia in a long time, have you?"

"What does Lady Ningguang mean?"

“We can combine these two matters, after all, Mr. Xia and I are still the vice principal and the principal, respectively.”

Charlotte pondered, "For example... Lady Ningguang came to our door late at night for something like this?"

Ningguang praised, "You are very capable; just write like this."

"I understand, Lady Ningguang."

Charlotte nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

"Lord Ningguang, is there anything else?"

"Come with me to a summer shop."

"Ah, but it's so late now..."

"Well, news is all about being truthful."

"……Yes."
