I'm a male god in Liyue

"Yes, but the problem isn't as serious as you think. You're just mentally exhausted right now. You just need to relax."

"Oh."

"Let's go back to the shop and talk about it. I'll give you a massage."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Xia."

Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief; finally, this problem could be solved.

The Great Compassion Tree King looked at Yan Fei: "Miss Yan Fei, are you on holiday today?"

Yan Fei nodded: "Yes, in order to participate in this competition properly, I postponed all my requests. It's still early, and I don't want to go back to work overtime."

"So, you didn't get to have enough fun either, did you?"

"Mmm!"

"Then why don't we go back to our shop together? Zhu Zi and the others didn't have enough fun this morning. We can continue playing cards and have dinner together tonight."

"Okay!"

"Miss Gan Yu is not allowed to join!"

"agree!"

Gan Yu smiled helplessly, turned her head and saw Shen He looking at her with a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Junior sister, what's wrong?"

"nothing……"

Shen He shook his head.

They all went back to the summer shop, where Da Ci Shu Wang, Yan Fei, Zhu Zi, and a few others started playing cards with great enthusiasm.

Shen He and Gan Yu sat at the table next to each other, drinking tea and chatting.

Xia Zhi took Ye Lan into the back room for a massage.

Lighting the calming incense and smelling its unique fragrance, Ye Lan felt her usually active mind begin to slow down.

Xia Zhi reached out and gently massaged Ye Lan's head.

"So comfortable..."

"Don't do that again next time. I've already told you not to drink too much tea, or you won't be able to sleep."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to work so well."

"Actually, it's also my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly."

No, um~

"You haven't slept for days, you must have dark circles under your eyes, right? These are hard to get rid of naturally."

"It's okay, I can put on some eyeshadow to cover it up."

"Let me use medication to remove it for you."

"Thank you."

"You should have come to me sooner. It might be normal not to be able to sleep on the first night, but if you still can't sleep on the second night, you should realize how serious the problem is."

"I...actually..."

"Ok?"

"It's not all bad. Thanks to the effects of this tea, my thinking has become much sharper, and I've been able to resolve quite a few previously shelved cases."

"So, you really were working overtime the past few days?"

"Yes, the Qianyan Army has arrested many people."

"Work is important, but you also need to take care of your health. You and Gan Yu are really... and Ningguang too... Is there really so little talent in Liyue?"

"Yes."

"..."

"I heard that Lady Ningguang once invited Mr. Xia to join the Moon Sea Pavilion?"

Yes, that's true.

Why did Mr. Xia refuse?

"I'm not really suited for this job."

"You don't want to do it, do you?"

“That’s also a reason.”

"It's really impossible to force it."

"Ah."

As they chatted, Ye Lan fell silent.

As her tense mind suddenly relaxed, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days and nights surged over her like a tide, causing her to fall asleep.

Xia Zhi stopped making a sound, quietly finished massaging her, and then carried her to the bathroom to soak in hot water.

After thinking for a moment, he added a small drop of the "Essence of Sun and Moon" to the water.

Take a good rest.

Chapter 296 has been studied and decided.

"Night Orchid, Night Orchid..."

A familiar voice echoed in her ears, and she felt as if someone was gently nudging her. Ye Lan gradually awoke from her peaceful slumber.

What comes into view is Ningguang's wealthy and generous figure, with white mist floating in the air.

"Ningguang...sir?"

Ye Lan rubbed her eyes, feeling a wetness, and realized that she was soaking in the hot water of the bathhouse.

Ok?

Before... I was lying in the back room getting a massage from Mr. Xia, right? Later... it seems like Mr. Xia's massage was so comfortable that I couldn't help but fall asleep... and then someone must have carried me here...

"What's wrong? Still not awake?" Ningguang looked at her slightly dazed appearance, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "It's rare to see you like this; you're kind of cute."

Ye Lan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then scooped up some hot water from the pool and splashed it on her face to wash away the lingering sleepiness.

She has always had poor sleep quality. Even when she is not on a mission, even when she is sleeping in a room heavily guarded by the Thousand Rock Army, her sleep is very light. She needs to use polished jade as earplugs to fall asleep properly.

Wiping her face, Ye Lan looked at Ning Guang again and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know that I come to Mr. Xia's shop every afternoon unless I have something urgent to do? I'm here now because I just finished a massage."

"So it's already this late? I can't believe I slept for so long..."

"You slacked off again this afternoon, and I caught you."

"Slacking off? I finished almost half a month's worth of work a few days ago, so I can rest for a few days now."

Ningguang smiled gently.

"Have you really not slept for days and nights?"

"Ah."

"That tea is so effective?"

"Don't make it too good."

"Haha, Mr. Xia told me about you during the massage just now. Zhu Zi and the others said you had very dark circles under your eyes, but now you can't see them at all."

"Mr. Xia has already removed it for me."

"By the way, how did it feel to lose the final?"

"...Didn't you experience Miss Gan Yu's terrifying luck this morning?"

"Yes, she eliminated me in the preliminary round. I was completely helpless."

The two women soaked in the pool, chatting and laughing slowly, their tone familiar and natural, like old friends.

After chatting for a while, Ningguang turned to look at Yelan.

"Uncle Tian mentioned you to me again today."

"Oh?"

"Because of the Zhiyi incident, his body was poisoned. Although he was detoxified by Baizhu in time and his life was not in danger, because the toxins were not completely eliminated, he also suffered from many aftereffects. In addition, he is getting old, and now he always feels powerless to do things."

"So, he wants to retire again?"

"Yes."

"Didn't we have three candidates last time? Zhiyi didn't make it, so there were two others. I think their names were Qianwei and Mingbo."
