I'm a male god in Liyue

"Yes, these are the only foreign objects that the two True Lords found at the scene."

"I understand. I have already made up my mind about this matter, so you don't need to worry."

Zhongli lightly clenched his fingers, crushed the melon seed shells in the wind ball, and casually scattered them into the soil outside the house.

Xiao watched silently as the Emperor finished doing all this, then lowered his head and said, "Yes, then I will go back..."

Zhongli said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry."

Xiao asked, puzzled: "The Emperor?"

Zhongli picked up his teacup: "Tomorrow is the 30th. Mr. Xia invited everyone to a gathering. Since you've come, you can come with me tomorrow. You've been guarding Guili Plain alone for many years, so it's good for you to experience some liveliness."

Xiao hesitated for a moment: "...Yes."

When Xia Zhi returned to the shop, Ning Guang and the secretary had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, they weren't just standing there foolishly in the cold wind waiting; they were sitting in the shop next door, idly drinking tea.

"Mr. Xia is out?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to have kept Miss Ningguang waiting."

"It's alright, I'll take this opportunity to check my shop's accounts."

"Oh?"

“This shop next door is also under my name.”

"incredible."

"So, Mr. Xia, if you ever want to expand your shop again, just come to me. I guarantee I'll give you a friendly price."

"Haha, okay then."

Ningguang then looked at the beautiful, unfamiliar older sister standing behind Xia Zhi.

"Who is this?"

"Xia Zhen, my cousin. Like Xia Ci, she also came all the way from our hometown to visit me. We just went outside to pick her up."

"That's it."

Ningguang looked at her thoughtfully and smiled, "Hello, I am Ningguang, a good friend of Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Hello, I'm Xia Zhen."

"Let's go inside first. It's windy outside, not a good place to talk."

"Ah."

Stepping into the store, you immediately feel the warmth of spring.

【Hot Air Charm】Five-star rating.

Xia Zhi walked into the kitchen and took out the fried chicken and fries she had prepared earlier from the inventory.

They were all still piping hot, just as they were when they came out of the pot.

Xia Zhi casually used the [Path of the Underworld Chef] to buff the food, then served it out.

"Miss Ningguang, Miss Baishi, this is for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

"Cousin, you must be tired from your long journey. Have some fried chicken first."

"okay."

Xia Zhen smelled the tempting aroma and stared at the fried chicken with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.

No, this smells amazing!

She swallowed hard, reached out and took a piece, then took a small bite.

It has an incredibly crispy exterior and is juicy inside.

No, this stuff is really delicious!

Suddenly, I had a strange feeling that I had been eating for nothing all these years and I wanted to burst into tears.

Xia Ci sat next to her, propping her chin up with her hand, watching her best friend's embarrassing eating habits with a smile.

Then, she took out the phonograph machine.

Well, another embarrassing story added to my list.

Not long after, the girls who had gone out shopping returned.

Now that they have the space ring, shopping has become much easier for them. They can put things in the ring and don't have to worry about their gifts for their bosses being exposed beforehand.

Although the boss can't see it, it wouldn't have been exposed anyway.

"Boss, you're back!"

"Yes."

"Oh? And who is this lady?"

"Let me introduce you. She is my cousin, Xia Zhen, who ran away from her hometown to find me."

"Another relative of the boss!?"

Xia Zhen put down the chicken wing in her hand, pursed her glossy red lips, and smiled gently, "Hello everyone."

"Hello there!"

"Xia Zhen will also be staying at our shop from now on. Her situation is a bit special, so please take good care of her."

"Good boss!"

"Alright, Xiangling, come and help me with the cooking. It's time to make dinner."

"Okay Master!"

When it came time to eat dinner, Xia Zhen finally understood what her best friend meant by "her cousin's cooking skills are very good".

For a fleeting moment, she even thought it wouldn't be so bad to be a ghost, so she could eat as much as she wanted...

Xia Zhen couldn't help but think of her younger sister again, and of the terrible "meals" Ying had made that she had forced herself to eat...

Waaaaah, one more bowl...

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "If you like it, have more."

"Ah."

At the same time, the gold progress bar hanging on her body was also constantly increasing.

The progress bar filled up very quickly.

Xia Zhi also received a system notification.

"Progress bar has reached 100%, and you have received the Golden Treasure Chest reward."

Yes, my cousin's living expenses have arrived.

After dinner, everyone went to the public bathhouse for a soak.

Xia Zhen, being a ghost, didn't bother with the commotion and instead sat at the table chatting with Qi Qi.

Halfway through the conversation, strange sounds of tigers and wolves came from the back hall.

Xia Zhen couldn't help but look up.

"What is that sound?"

"The boss is giving someone a massage."

"massage?"

"Hmm, you're the boss's cousin, didn't you know the boss knows how to give massages?"

"...Of course I know, it's just that I haven't seen him in so long that I've almost forgotten about it."

"Oh."

Xia Zhen looked away and sniffed slightly.

She could smell a strange incense scent wafting from inside.

It smells wonderful.

And it tastes good?

late at night.

Xia Zhi returned to his room and bought a piece of black jade from the [Shop].
