It seems the problem lies with that cherry blossom tree.
The sacred tree of Narukami Taisha Shrine...
It's rare to come across something so special. When I go on a trip to Inazuma, I'll visit the shrine myself.
After a while, Qiqi returned.
Grandma Ping, Yao Yao, and the two True Lords, Xiao Yue and Li Shui, also came over.
When Qi Liangliang saw these people walk into the store, her body tensed up suddenly.
She seemed to have her temper flared up, and her whole demeanor became tense and uneasy.
The three seemingly kind old men gave her a feeling as oppressive as the pink-furred fox in the shrine.
Yes, it's a terrifying monster!
Xia Ci suddenly reached out and patted Qi Liangliang's shoulder, laughing, "Don't be nervous, it's someone we know."
Qi Liangliang inexplicably felt her body relax.
When she looked at the three people again, they seemed like just three ordinary old people. In fact, the two of them even looked a little uneasy, as if they were more nervous than she had been.
Is it just an illusion?
"Oh!"
"Come here, Yao Yao! Let me introduce you to a grass-type older sister! Sister Qi Liangliang!"
"Hello, Sister Qiliangliang! Yaoyao greets you!"
"Hello, Yao Yao!"
Xia Zhi greeted Grandma Ping and the two True Lords, then carried the Cherry Blossom Jar back to the kitchen.
After a while, Akabane went back and called Kurumi over.
Hu Tao, being naturally outgoing, chatted with Qi Liangliang in a very familiar manner.
"So you're a deliveryman."
"correct."
"These days, delivery services are really convenient... Adventurers don't even need to bother with errands anymore."
"Yes, our company has a wide range of businesses. We can deliver packages between various countries. Before, due to the lockdown, Inazuma mainly delivered packages within China, but it seems that the policy has been relaxed recently."
"Can you send anything?"
"Yes."
"That's perfect. I happen to have some documents on hand and I'd like to find someone to deliver them to the construction site for me."
"rest assured."
"I'll get it for you after we finish eating."
Yay, we've landed another new business deal!
Qi Liangliang was very happy.
Once the hot pot is served, there's no need to worry about starting a fire; just place the three heating stones under the pot.
Everyone was serving the dishes when they heard a noise coming from outside the door.
"It's so lively."
"Lord Yuheng Star, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to see Xia Ci. There's a problem with the design drawings."
"How could there be a problem with my design drawings... Never mind, let's talk about it after we eat. Have you eaten?"
"not yet……"
"Then sit down and eat with us."
"That... is fine."
Ke Qing smelled the enticing aroma in the air, resisted the urge to swallow, and calmly walked over and sat down.
"That's annoying."
Chapter 316 The True Appearance of Grandma Ping (4K)
The hot pot on the table was boiling, emitting wisps of fragrant aroma.
Qi Liangliang blushed, took small breaths, and her eyes were wet from the spiciness.
"Can't you eat spicy food?"
"It's okay."
"Have a drink, this is Diona's masterpiece."
"Yes!"
"Oh, well, I have to deliver packages this afternoon, and I'll get drunk..."
"It's okay, it's just fruit wine."
Qi Liangliang couldn't refuse, so she drank a small cup.
“Delicious!”
"right."
"This hot pot is delicious too."
"Eat more if you like, Lord Yuhengxing too."
"Yes, everyone, there's no need to be so polite. When we interact in private, you can just call me Keqing."
"OK."
The two True Lords, Xiaoyue and Lishui, were quietly eating with their heads down.
The main characteristic is honesty.
Hu Tao, on the other hand, seemed quite lively. Especially after drinking two glasses of rainbow wine, she suddenly became inspired to write poetry and insisted on showing off her skills to everyone.
Then there is no more then.
If I had to describe it, the store was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After finishing her meal, Qi Liangliang leaned back in her chair, touched her stomach, and looked at herself with a satisfied and happy expression.
"I'm full, thank you for the meal!"
Diona asked curiously, "Sister Qi Liangliang, what did you used to eat?"
"before?"
"That is, before you took human form."
"Oh, back then I was just a little wildcat, wandering in the mountains, usually catching little magpies in the trees to eat."
? !
A little magpie?!
As if a keyword had been triggered, Qiqi, who was quietly helping to clear the table, immediately looked up and stared blankly at her.
The little magpie is so cute!
Qi Liangliang felt a little confused by Qi Qi's direct stare.
Qiqi looked away, then picked up the bowl and silently went to the kitchen.
Diona felt sorry for her: "You eat that...?"
"Later I met my grandma, and then I had food to eat. Grandma's cooking was also very delicious. My name was given to me by my grandma. Before I grew two tails, grandma would often scratch my chin, pat my head, and praise my bright and beautiful eyes."
"So how did you become a deliveryman for Komahaya?"
"It was the Divine Child who recommended it to me!"
"Eh? Is that the priestess of Narukami Shrine?"
"Hmm! Lady Divine Child is a renowned great yokai in Inazuma. As a newly born yokai, it's inevitable that I feel awe towards her. But I didn't expect this fox spirit to be so kind and approachable. Not only did she come to see me, but she also taught me a lot of useful knowledge. For example, etiquette in human society, how to interact with people, and even how to fry tofu... That fox spirit said that if I don't work, I can't stay in human society. That won't do! I'll deliver every package well. I... I don't want to go back to that desolate wilderness to be a great yokai!"
Qi Liangliang clenched her fists, her tone very serious.
Master Lishui Dieshan coughed lightly and said, "Actually, cultivating like a free-spirited cloud or a wild crane in the mountains and fields is also quite interesting."
Grandma Ping said calmly, "Really? Is it more interesting than playing cards?"
The True Lord of Flowing Water and Die Mountain was immediately speechless.
He gave her a long, wistful look.
Ah Ping... why don't you give me any face in front of the younger generation?
What's wrong with me playing cards?
He's worked hard for most of his life!
