I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 376

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh.

With her fiery and passionate personality, Xiangling certainly doesn't seem like the type to eat alone.

I should have given her a few more bottles to take with her.

Xiangling took another sip from her cup, then looked at the unfamiliar waiter at the next table and asked curiously, "Mr. Xia, who is this gentleman over here?"

The cat looked up at her and said, "I'm Diona, the bartender at the bar."

"A bartender? Oh, Mr. Xia, do you still sell alcohol?"

"Yes, but that's for members only."

Guoba's eyes lit up.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

What happened to Guoba?

"Guoba said it wanted to drink that wine."

"Haha, Guoba is still so tempting, but we've already sold out of wine for today..."

"It's alright, Mr. Xia, don't worry about the rice crust."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Guoba looked aggrieved.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It's alright, we still have some in stock. You can stay for lunch and we can have a drink together."

"Noon... I'm afraid not... I still need to go back to see my father and master... so..."

"Oh, that's only right. Then let's do it in the evening. You can invite Master Mao and the head chef over to the shop for a proper meal, as a welcome back dinner for you and Guoba."

"Alright! Thank you, Mr. Xia! I'll show you a thing or two then!"

"Ah."

"Then I won't keep Mr. Xia from doing his business any longer. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

After finishing her juice, Xiangling hurriedly returned to Wanmintang with Guoba in tow.

In a corner of the shop, Xia Ci, behind a table, watched Guoba's back with a meaningful expression on her face.

It wasn't lunchtime at Wanmintang yet, and Chef Mao was preparing dishes in the kitchen.

"Dad!"

"Ok?"

Master Mao turned around and saw his daughter, a kind smile spreading across his face.

"Xiangling is back!"

"came back!"

"Woo!"

"Did you all have a good journey?"

"It's okay!"

"You said it was okay, but look at your face, it's gotten so tanned!"

"Oh, it's okay."

"Be careful you don't end up not being able to get married."

"Hey Dad! How's business at our shop these days?"

"Fortunately, there are hardly any people in line anymore."

"I heard that a lot of big things happened in Liyue a few days ago?"

"You mean the battle at Lonely Cloud Pavilion?"

"Yes! Dad, tell me about it!"

……

Yujingtai.

After lunch, Yao Yao ran out the door like a whirlwind.

The two True Lords, Xiaoyue and Lishui, sat inside, enjoying a pot of fine tea from Granny Ping, a gift from Xia Zhi for her birthday.

Halfway through my tea, I heard someone shouting outside.

"Master! I'm back!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The two True Lords exchanged a knowing smile.

A moment later, Xiangling entered the room, saw them, and was slightly taken aback.

"So, both masters have come down the mountain too."

"Ah."

Xiangling respectfully bowed to her three masters as a disciple.

Grandma Ping asked with a kind smile, "Xiangling, when did you get back?"

"This morning."

"How is your cultivation?"

"My cooking skills have improved a lot!..."

Xiangling happily shared her experiences with her masters, mentioning many strange cooking methods and ingredients that even the immortals had never heard of.

The calm smiles on the faces of the three True Lords gradually disappeared.

"My master often says that seeing is believing, and I think that makes a lot of sense. This trip out for cultivation is a perfect example. I've already said so much, but I'm sure you masters still don't understand. Tonight, I'll show you a few tricks and let you taste the fruits of my cultivation!"

The three True Lords remained silent for a moment.

Master Lishui coughed and said gently, "Master already knows about Xiangling's good intentions, but Master has an appointment today and is busy with something, so I'm afraid I won't have time tonight."

"Where is Master Xiaoyue?"

"I also have appointments, so I probably won't have time either."

"Ah, then there's nothing we can do about it."

Xiangling looked at Grandma Ping with a regretful expression.

"Master, you must have time, right?"

Looking at Xiangling's expectant expression, Grandma Ping felt conflicted.

Her disciple had been away cultivating diligently for several months; it would be too much of a blow to her to refuse her outright.

Sigh, if I don't go to hell, who will? After all, I'm her master...

Grandma Ping could only nod slowly: "I have it."

"Great!"

Xiangling said happily.

"Then Master, please remember to visit the Summer Shop."

"Uh-huh?"

Grandma Ping was taken aback upon hearing this.

The two True Lords were also taken aback.

"A summer shop?"

"Isn't it Wanmintang?"

"No, I passed by Xia's shop before and visited Mr. Xia there. Later, Mr. Xia said he wanted to treat me to dinner that night, and invited me to come over for a meal. I'm planning to cook a few dishes and would like Mr. Xia to give me some pointers."

"I see……"

A kind smile returned to Grandma Ping's face.

It turns out it wasn't hell, it was heaven.

Grandma Ping glanced at the two disloyal old men beside her again: "What? Didn't you two make an appointment? Aren't you leaving?"

The two True Lords exchanged a glance and immediately made their decision.

True Monarch Li Shui coughed again and said gently, "I've thought about it carefully, and my matter isn't actually that urgent. This is Xiang Ling's first time going out to cultivate, and as her master, I should indeed test her properly."

True Lord Xiaoyue nodded: "That makes sense. I'll try to resolve things as soon as possible and come over to see how much Xiangling has improved."

Xiangling exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! Thank you both, Masters!"

The two True Lords replied calmly, "Hmm."

After saying this, the two True Lords got up and went out.
