I'm a male god in Liyue

Xia Zhen clicked his tongue lightly: "Inazuma is so desolate now. That dark calamity was truly..."

Yae no Miko hesitated for a moment, then picked up the book in her hand and said, "Master Shin, the editor from Yae-do sent me this a few days ago."

"Oh?"

Xia Zhen took it and looked at the cover.

"The True Ghost Detective Notes?"

Yae no Miko explained, "This is a light novel that has been very popular recently."

Xia Zhen asked, "Was it published by Yaedo?"

Yae no Miko said, "No, this book was probably self-published. You could say it appeared out of nowhere and became a sensation in Inazuma. Of course, that's not important. What's important is the incantations and rituals written inside..."

Xia Zhen opened the book, glanced at it, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes: "This must have been done by Le Zhai."

Ying had been quietly drinking tea and listening the whole time, but when she heard the name "Youlezhai," her expression changed slightly, as if it had touched on a memory.

"I guessed it was him too, what a pity..."

Yae no Miko sighed.

"Even if we find him, he'll just be a memory leaked from the earth's veins, or perhaps a ghost; he can't remain in the mortal world for long..."

"pity?"

Xia Zhen chuckled and shook her head.

"It's not a pity."

"Ok?"

"Send someone to find You Lezhai's ghost first, and then let me know."

"Yes, Masahiro."

Although Yae no Miko had some doubts, she still agreed.

Ying spoke up at this moment, saying, "Sister, recently there have been more strange things leaking from the earth's veins, not just ghosts, but also evil spirits."

Xia Zhen nodded: "I know. It's because the barrier set up by Fox Palace is almost at its limit. Don't worry, these strange events will subside after I perform the [Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification] tonight."

A bright light immediately appeared in Ying's eyes. She felt so good that her sister was back. No matter what the problem was, it could be solved easily and quickly. She didn't have to think about anything. She could just stay by her sister's side.

As evening approached, Xia Zhi also arrived at the shrine's dining hall.

Xiangling was cooking when she immediately called out, "Master, you're here!"

The other chefs inside also cast admiring glances at him.

This is the master chef's mentor!

Xia Zhi nodded and asked, "Is there a stone mill here?"

A chef immediately replied, "Yes! It's right here!"

"Master, are you going to make tofu?"

"Ah."

Instead of using the regular soybeans that had been soaked in the cafeteria, Xia Zhi bought some extraordinary beans from the [Shop].

Grind, filter, add brine, and press.

The entire movement was fluid and seamless.

This commanded the respect of the chefs nearby.

No wonder he's the master chef! Even though he's blind, he's still so amazing!

After making the tofu, it was time to start frying the fried tofu.

Immediately, a chef offered his seat to Xia Zhi, inviting him to stand beside him and learn from the expert's techniques.

Xia Zhi didn't hold back either, explaining the things to pay attention to during the frying process.

The chefs were practically memorizing it all.

After all, any chef working at a shrine knows that Yae no Miyako's favorite food is fried tofu.

If I could fry up some tofu that everyone in Yashinada would love, then promotions and raises would come easily.

Dinner was served in the evening.

Before Yae no Kamiko even entered the room, her nose was already filled with the enticing aroma of fried tofu.

Why does the fried tofu smell so good tonight?

She picked up a piece, took a bite, and the delicious sensation danced on her tongue. Yae Shinko covered her mouth with her hand, a blush of happiness spreading across her face.

This is amazing! This is amazing! This is the best fried tofu I've ever had!

She snapped out of her reverie and looked at Xiangling, saying, "Miss Xiangling, the fried tofu you made tonight is really delicious."

Xiangling quickly waved her hand and said, "I didn't make the fried tofu."

Yae no Miko was taken aback: "Who made that? I've eaten all the fried tofu made by the original chefs in the cafeteria, and none of them could make it taste like this."

Xiangling smiled and said, "It was made by my master."

Yae no Miko looked at Xia Zhi, somewhat surprised: "It was actually Xia-kun who did it?"

Xia Zhi noticed that the platinum progress bar on her body had increased a little and said, "Well, if you like to eat, then eat more."

Yae no Miko's expression suddenly became somewhat alluring, and she said, "I told you to just call me Miko, Natsu-kun."

She said that when we first met yesterday, but she only said it out of respect for Master Zhen.

But when she said it now, it was completely from the bottom of her heart: "If you can make such delicious fried tofu, I'm definitely going to be your friend!"

"Xia Jun, why does the fried tofu taste so good today?"

"I used special beans."

"I see! Does Mr. Xia have any more of these beans? I'd like to buy some."

"Don't mention buying this little thing. I'll give it to you later."

"Thank you, Xia Jun."

From Xia Zhi's omniscient perspective, he watched Yae no Miko devour fried tofu, her progress bar rapidly increasing. He felt she was just a pink-haired, gluttonous fox.

Perhaps he's also a bit cunning.

Before long, her progress bar was full.

A platinum treasure chest appeared in his inventory.

As night fell, Xia Zhi walked out of the shrine, where Fischl and Qi Qi were already waiting.

"Mr. Xia."

"Master."

Xia Zhi had already told Fischl and Qi Qi about this during the day, saying that he would go with them to complete the legendary quest that night.

Fischl and 77 welcomed this.

Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Mm."

Fischl tugged at Xia Zhi's sleeve a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Mr. Xia, my transformation device isn't fully charged yet."

Xia Zhi lowered his head and said, "It's okay."

He reached out and gently stroked Fischl's black eye patch.

The items that were not fully charged before were instantly replenished with energy.

Fischl's face lit up: "Let's go."

Xia Zhi didn't move and said, "Wait a little longer, there are others who want to go together."

Fischl replied obediently, "Oh, okay!"

Before long, Xia Ci and Xia Zhen came out of the shrine, followed by Yae no Miko.

Xia Zhi asked, "Is the Divine Child going along too?"

Yae no Miko said earnestly, "Please, Natsu-kun, this concerns Senior Fox Palace Monk, I absolutely must go!"

It seems that the food-loving pink-haired fox has some other connection with that fox senior.

Xia Zhi didn't care; "Okay, let's go."

With three deities accompanying them, such a luxurious lineup makes even a normal difficulty purification dungeon seem formidable.

Even if it's a boss dungeon on the next Abyss difficulty, it should be easy to win.

Following Fischl and Qiqi, and using the map provided by the client, they arrived at the target location.

Then I saw a shrine maiden wearing a mask—Hana-sanri.

From Xia Zhi's perspective, she has a golden progress bar hanging on her body.
