"Secondly, you can't run away without telling me."
"it is good."
"third,……"
The content is basically the same as the contract my cousin signed before, with very weak binding conditions.
After listening, Zhen said she could accept it.
Then, Xia Zhi extended a finger towards her, and Zhen responded by extending her own finger as well.
The two people's fingers touched gently.
The contract is established.
Xia Zhi withdrew his finger, feeling that another concept of contract had emerged in his mind.
"Alright, from now on you'll be a new employee at our store. We'll introduce you to everyone when we get back."
"Ah."
"However, your identity is too special, just like my cousin's. We can't just introduce you to everyone like this. We need to come up with a fake identity."
Zhen glanced at her best friend who was eating sunflower seeds and said, "Your cousin?"
Xia Zhi considered: "It's not entirely impossible..."
Although Zhen lost her power, her appearance remained the same as when she was alive. She looked like a gentle older sister who was more mature than Xia Zhi. It would be a bit strange to call her his cousin, but it would be more appropriate to call her his older cousin.
Xia Ci immediately objected with a serious expression: "No way! Wouldn't that make me a real younger sister? I was here first!"
"Objection overruled... From now on, your name will be Xia Zhen. We do have extra rooms after the expansion of our shop, but we'll need to buy some more bedding..."
"Hmph... I'll buy it tomorrow. Zhen, sleep with me tonight. We haven't seen each other in a long time, we can chat."
"Ah."
"Cousin, wanna eat some sunflower seeds?"
"Huh? I'm a ghost right now, I can't eat anything..."
"It's alright, cousin, please help me out."
"give it to me."
Xia Ci handed over the melon seeds she was holding.
Xia Zhi reached out and touched the melon seed, using the power of the [Path of the Underworld Chef] to alter its life or death status.
The next moment, Xia Zhen smelled an enticing aroma of five-spice.
"Okay."
"Cousin, have a taste. I grew these myself, and my cousin cooked them himself. They're so delicious."
"Oh……"
Xia Zhen grabbed a small handful of sunflower seeds from her hand and started eating them with her.
It tastes very good.
"How about it?"
"good to eat!"
"These are just snacks. Dinner will be the main meal when we get home. Let me introduce you to the other staff members in the store."
"Ok!"
"First of all, there was the first employee who came to the store. Her name is Zhu Zi, and she's from the same hometown as you."
"Inazuma-hito?"
"Yes, she's a very lively girl, and she recently published a novel."
"is it?"
"Then there's Shen He, this one is a master..."
The three of them walked away.

Return to the original.
Xiao is cleaning up a group of evil monsters that originated from the remnants of a demon god.
At one point, he suddenly sensed something and couldn't help but look up in the direction of Tianheng Mountain.
"How could there be such a terrifying aura of oppression there... What happened?"
Xiao frowned and suddenly quickened the pace at which his men were clearing out these evil spirits.
After eliminating all the monsters in front of him, he immediately set off for Tianheng Mountain to investigate further.
As a golden-winged roc, Xiao travels very fast.
Before long, he arrived at the scene and saw two acquaintances there.
Lord Lishui and Lord Xiaoyue.
Hearing the commotion, the two True Lords turned around and greeted Xiao.
"Xiao is here too."
"Hmm, what happened here?"
"We don't know either."
"We just happened to be in Liyue City, which is closer to here, so we got here faster than you. But when we arrived, there was no one left, only a trace of deathly aura, and..."
"And what?"
"And these things... Xiao, you'll see when you come over..."
Xiao walked over upon hearing this, and upon seeing the things on the ground, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"These are... sunflower seed shells?"
"should be."
Xiao paused for a moment, then looked at True Lord Xiaoyue.
"Has True Lord Moon-Slicing ever tried divination?"
The True Lord of the Moon looked distressed and shook his head: "No, the aura here seems to be left by some demon god. It's too terrifying. If I try to divine, the result will most likely be a useless divination, and I might even anger the other party. It's really not a good choice."
"This matter still needs to be handled by the Emperor. However, the Emperor is not in the city at the moment, but at the construction site outside the city. Xiao, you are fast, so I will have to trouble you to make a trip."
"it is good……"
Xiao then said nothing more.
He stretched out his hand, and the power of wind element surged, gathering the sunflower seed shells on the ground and sealing them inside a sphere of wind.
Then, he disappeared.
The two True Lords exchanged a glance.
"Let's go back too."
"Ah."
--
On the construction site.
Zhongli had just finished eating and was sitting alone at the table drinking tea.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room.
"Emperor."
"elf."
Zhongli put down his teacup.
"What's the matter?"
“Not long ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on Tianheng Mountain. I rushed there to investigate, but I could not find the cause of the phenomenon. I was uneasy, so I came to ask the Emperor for advice.”
Are there any foreign objects at the scene?
"Have……"
Xiao took out the wind ball.
Zhongli waved his hand, and the wind ball landed in his hand.
He looked at the sunflower seed shells floating in the typhoon and fell silent.
Unlike the two True Lords and Xiao, Zhongli could sense a faint but familiar fluctuation of grass-type divine power from these melon seed shells.
This seems to be the fruit personally brought forth by some goddess next door.
In other words, she might have been there at the time.
Is that all?
