I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 299

During the Battle of Guyun Pavilion, she saw this girl standing with Senior Sister Ganyu, holding a long sword and commanding the Thousand Rock Army. If she remembered correctly, the person in front of her should be: "Yuheng Star, Ke Qing".

Ke Qing smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Miss Shen He to recognize me. Miss Gan Yu must have told you, right?"

Shen He nodded slightly: "It was indeed my senior sister who told me."

Keqing then looked at Xia Zhi, her expression slightly serious: "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, the Star of Yuheng, and I am in charge of managing land and construction."

Xia Zhi also straightened his tone: "So it's Lady Keqing. May I ask what brings you here, Lady Keqing?"

Ke Qing said, "Mr. Xia, please don't overthink it. I'm just here to express my gratitude. During the battle at Guyun Pavilion, if it weren't for Miss Shen He's intervention, we would have suffered heavy losses from that tsunami alone."

Shen He shook his head: "At that time, I was just helping Senior Sister Gan Yu."

Ke Qing said earnestly, "No matter what, we should thank Miss Shen He."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Shen He's eyes.

She wasn't very good at handling situations where she was thanked by strangers.

Xia Zhi said, "Miss Ningguang has already expressed her gratitude."

Ke Qing shook her head: "It's just a shop, in my opinion, it's not enough to express my gratitude."

Xia Zhi asked, "Then what does Lord Ke Qing mean?"

Keqing said, "Miss Shenhe is a disciple of the immortals, and I imagine she has little interest in worldly things. I have thought for a long time about how to repay her. So I came here today just to make a promise that no matter what happens to Miss Shenhe in Liyue, she can come to me and I will do my best to help her."

Shen He paused for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you."

Ke Qing nodded: "Then I won't disturb your meal any longer. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

The girl turned and left gracefully, her purple twin tails swaying slightly behind her, exuding a touch of pride.

Xia Zhi glanced at her again, not because he was interested in her pigtails. Although he did enjoy playing with Shen He's pigtails, he only liked Shen He's pigtails for the time being and didn't feel anything for other people's pigtails.

He simply admired Keqing's unique personality.

Jade Balance Star.

She is truly a young and vibrant star.

Her promise would certainly carry weight for most people, but it was of little use to Xia Zhi and Shen He.

If he were to encounter any trouble in Liyue, he could simply seek out Miss Ganyu or Miss Ningguang to resolve it; there would be no need to go to Keqing at all.

If even Miss Gan Yu and Miss Ning Guang can't solve something, then Ke Qing definitely can't solve it either.

I guess the only options are to go find Grandma Ping and Zhongli.

The only use Keqing can currently have for Xia Zhi is the silver progress bar on her body. If she can fill it up, she can get a silver treasure chest.

Midway through the banquet, Ningguang finally made her appearance.

She wore a custom-made dress today, which accentuated her figure, gave her an elegant demeanor, and made her look stunningly gorgeous.

Xia Zhi chuckled softly. He really couldn't see any trace of her begging for mercy under his control.

Ningguang smiled and moved around the banquet with ease, able to say a few words to everyone. She seemed friendly, yet maintained a polite but not distant relationship with everyone.

Xia Zhi observed for a while and whispered to Shen He, "Look, Miss Ningguang is really tired."

Shen He glanced at it and nodded: "Mm."

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"It will be all right."

"Let me think, I'll make you a new dish."

"What dish?"

"How about spicy and sour beef offal?"

"it is good."

"Let's go to the market later, I wonder if they sell beef offal."

"It's late in the afternoon, so it's probably not possible."

“It’s okay, we can just buy a cow and take it home. You can freeze it for us.”

"Ah."

A short while later, Miss Ningguang arrived in front of the two of them.

This time, Miss Ningguang quietly removed the false mask from her face, and instead put on a charming smile: "Mr. Xia, Miss Shen He, welcome to my banquet."

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi was blind and couldn't see.

"Miss Ningguang, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us."

"That won't do, you are my honored guests."

"What distinguished guest?"

"I used to always get free meals at your house, but today I'm finally going to treat Mr. Xia to a meal in return."

"People don't really like to eat it."

"Sigh, it's definitely not as good as Mr. Xia's cooking skills."

"But there are many things here that I can't afford, so I think it's pretty good."

"What would you like to eat, Mr. Xia? I'll bring you some."

"No, no, I was just saying."

Ningguang and Xiazhi chatted and laughed as if no one else was around.

The surrounding guests watched this scene, and their expressions gradually became strange.

Lord Tianquan, so this is what you like?

Chapter 274 What is High-Efficiency Farming?

Ningguang chatted with Xia Zhi for a while, then left with her wine glass.

In the instant she turned around, she put the Tianquan Star mask back on, a polite yet slightly distant smile appearing on her face.

Xia Zhi lowered his head, feeling that Ning Guang's life was indeed quite tiring.

Unlike the physical exhaustion after a long day at a small shop, Ningguang deals with countless unscrupulous merchants every day, and also has to worry about Liyue's economic development, political diplomacy, and the threat of the Demon God...

She's emotionally exhausted.

The surrounding guests were still giving him strange looks, more or less.

Some people recognized him and Shen He—the owners of the Summer Shop and the ruthless man who single-handedly defeated Ba Che.

Considering that Lord Ningguang has been going to the store almost every day recently, and that Xia Zhi and the others are sitting in the best seats at this banquet, the way they look at him gradually becomes more meaningful.

Ningguang's act of treating people differently was essentially sending a message to everyone, that is, the entire Liyue high society: This person is under my protection, so you all better watch out.

In this way, no one will dare to mess with Summer Shop anymore.

Xia Zhi smiled, finding it quite amusing.

Since that's the case, then next time I'll reward her by touching her more—no, I mean, by massaging her for a few more minutes.

Ningguang circled the crowd, returned to the stage, and began to speak, mainly recounting the Battle of Guyun Pavilion and taking the opportunity to look forward to the bright future of Liyue.

It's all just clichés, nothing substantial, but this step can't be omitted.

After Ningguang finished speaking, the banquet moved into the free exchange phase.

The liveliest spot at that moment was Diona's cocktail bar.

Countless people gathered there, just to get a drink.

The kitten is starting to act all high and mighty.

Xia Zhi was very pleased.

Back at the table, Zhu Zi asked in a low voice, "Boss, are we done eating? Is the banquet almost over?"

"probably."

Miss Gan Yu spoke up, "There's another auction coming up later."

"auctions?"

"Hmm, the scale is quite large, and there will be many rare items."

"Then let's stay and take a look, and broaden our horizons."

"Boss, do you want to buy something?"

"I probably can't afford it, but I can try bidding."

A look of interest appeared in the eyes of the Great Tree King: "Oh."

Xia Zhi looked down and reminded her, "Don't bid recklessly later."
