I'm a male god in Liyue

The treasure chest doesn't matter; the main thing is that my cousin is going to see her old colleagues, and as her older cousin, I have to prepare some gifts for her.

Sigh, I'm so worried about her.

Chapter 267 I Never Judge Friends by Their Looks

Breakfast was ramen.

It uses a variety of exceptional ingredients such as golden wheat and chicken leg mushrooms.

Xia Zhi made extra dough, setting aside some to mix with soybean flour from [large tuna belly soybeans], which is the raw material for making spicy strips.

After finishing breakfast, Xia Zhi started making today's snacks.

The Great Tree King stood beside him, curiously observing his technique.

"Cousin, is this how spicy strips are made?"

"Yes, it's made with gluten."

"Add more chili!"

"I will separate the chili oil and spicy strips. Those who like spicy food can add it themselves."

"Alright."

"Stop looking and go help me with my work."

"what's up?"

"Go outside and get some paper and pen to write a notice for me. Post it outside the shop and tell the customers that we are closed today because we are going to a banquet at Qunyu Pavilion."

"Oh."

"Remember to write your characters neatly."

"Know it!"

"Diona, take some rice cereal out and post the notice."

"Good boss!"

Before long, a large bowl of glowing vegetarian spicy strips was ready.

Next to it was a bowl of tempting red chili oil, sprinkled with [Melker Star Powder], with a rich aroma.

"It's ready. Come on, everyone, have a taste."

"Mmm~ Delicious!"

"My cousin's cooking is definitely better."

"If you can't handle too much spice, add less chili oil. Shen He, go and get some more oil paper."

"Ah."

"We'll wrap some ourselves in oil paper and take them to Qunyu Pavilion to eat."

Miss Akabane thought of something: "Isn't this a bad idea?"

The Great Compassion Tree King inhaled and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Every time the boss cooks, passersby outside the shop can't help but stop because of the aroma. The spicy strips smell so good. If we took them to Qunyu Pavilion, wouldn't the customers drool over the smell?"

"This is exactly the effect I wanted! It's so much fun!"

"But if Ningguang sees this, won't she be angry?"

"Don't worry, we'll pack an extra bag of spicy strips and give it to her later."

"Oh, that's fine then... Hehe, I can't wait."

Xia Zhi glanced at the two amused people: "Bring a few more bags. Granny Ping, True Lord Li Shui, and True Lord Xiao Yue, being immortals, will definitely receive invitations as well. And Miss Gan Yu, Miss Yan Fei, Miss Ye Lan..."

The Great Tree King raised its head, its expression strange: "I can understand Miss Gan Yu and Miss Yan Fei, but does Miss Ye Lan also want to send a gift?"

"Of course we should."

"Didn't she just come to our shop for a massage yesterday? Has my cousin and she gotten that close already?"

"We're friends now."

"Tsk."

"You...it's always a good thing to have more friends."

"Cousin, but why are all your friends beautiful women?"

"Maybe it's fate. After all, I'm blind, and I never look at people's looks when I make friends."

"..."

The Great Compassion Tree King pursed his lips, speechless.

The persona of a blind person can be really useful sometimes.

Everyone packed up the spicy strips they had made and prepared to leave.

Today we're going to a high-society banquet, and everyone has solemnly changed into their new clothes.

It wasn't that I cared about what others thought, but mainly I wanted to give face to Miss Ningguang, the hostess of the banquet. Dressing too casually would seem disrespectful to her.

The clothes Xia Zhi was wearing were picked out for him by Shen He that morning; they were one of the sets Shen He had bought for him before.

Crossing the street, following Ms. Ningguang's instructions, we arrived at a place guarded by the Thousand Rock Army.

This is the entrance to Qunyu Pavilion.

The Jade Pavilion floats above Liyue, and it is difficult to climb up using ordinary methods.

Ningguang then built a platform here, paving a staircase to the heavens with floating stones. The Jade Pavilion would stop here, waiting for guests to climb up this staircase.

Zhu Zi and Diona stared in amazement at the long, floating staircase: "Won't we fall down?"

"Will not."

"Ying'er, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't worry, Ningguang and I are acquainted. I've been to Qunyu Pavilion a few times before, and I've walked up these steps a few times as well."

"I see!"

"It's okay. I was a little scared the first time I walked like that. Just hold onto the handrail."

"understood!"

"So many floating stones were used here, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

“Miss Ningguang has plenty of money anyway, but these small floating stones aren’t as expensive as you think. Only the really large Mingxia floating stones are rare.”

"Is that the base of the Jade Pavilion?"

"Yes, Miss Ningguang had already put up a bounty for this before. According to Ganyu, it was Miss Yunjin who completed the bounty and found the Mingxia Floating Stone that met the requirements. That's why Miss Yunjin got the opportunity to perform the Liyue play at Qunyu Pavilion."

"Oh!"

"Let's go."

Everyone went over and took out the invitations given by Ms. Ningguang.

Qianyan recognized Shen He and, without checking the invitation, respectfully stepped aside to let him through the entrance.

Zhu Zi couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen He has truly become famous overnight."

The Great Compassion Tree King nodded: "It's already an internet celebrity."

Diona asked curiously, "What is an internet celebrity?"

"It's what we call celebrities in my hometown."

"Oh."

"Don't worry, Diona. Once you show off your skills at the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion today and let everyone see how amazing you are, you'll become an internet celebrity too."

"I'm not as amazing as you say."

"Don't be shy."

"I'm not shy at all!"

"Your face is clearly red."

"This is from eating spicy snacks that made it so red!"

“How cute.”

"!"

Although the two were about the same size, and the Great Tree King looked even younger than Diona, Diona was completely under the Great Tree King's thumb.

Xia Zhi said helplessly, "Cousin, don't bully Diona."

"I didn't bully her, it's just my unique love for Diona."
