I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 476

The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is very round, bright and clear.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they strolled to the pier, where they saw fireworks going off.

There were many more people here, all waiting for that giant lantern to be released.

Until some point late at night, someone shouted, and then everyone saw that the night lantern was suddenly lit.

It was as if the woman who had been sleeping with her head down had suddenly woken up and opened her beautiful, bright eyes.

Then, the human-shaped lantern, like a real immortal, floated up from the ground and flew into the sky.

Everyone who witnessed this beautiful scene couldn't help but let out a soft gasp of amazement.

But it's not over yet.

The human-shaped lantern suddenly froze in mid-air, struck a pose in the distance, and then began to dance lightly.

"This is the play 'The Goddess Splits the Temple'!"

Someone recognized him and shouted loudly.

Yun Jin looked up at the lantern, a look of disbelief in her eyes.

Grandma Ping smiled and explained in a low voice, "There is actually someone controlling this lamp with magic, similar to a shadow puppet show."

"I see!"

Xia Zhi looked down at the reflections of light and shadow on the sea, a smile on his face.

Just like during the Lunar New Year, Yao Yao came over and took his hand to comfort him.

The little girl is so cute.

Qi Qi watched without much hesitation and walked over, silently taking Xia Zhi's other hand.

The little apprentice is adorable too.

The lanterns in the sky danced until the play ended, then began to circle in the skies above Liyue City.

Every time she flew over an area, thousands of bright sky lanterns were released into the air in that area.

Moments later, the entire sky above Liyue City was filled with lanterns, like countless stars floating in the air, a breathtaking sight.

Everyone looked up and exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, this custom of releasing lanterns is quite dangerous."

"Danger?"

"Yes, it's winter now, and the grass and trees outside are dry. If a lantern accidentally falls into the woods or onto a house, it could easily cause a fire."

"...It seems so!"

Grandma Ping shook her head and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This is how Liyue celebrates for thousands of years. There are people monitoring the Lantern Festival, so this kind of thing usually doesn't happen."

"That's good!"

Xia Zhi nodded. After all, this world was different from the original world, and there were extraordinary powers. If a fire broke out, the holder of the Water Element God's Eye could easily put it out.

After setting off the lanterns and watching two spectacular fireworks displays, everyone went their separate ways to rest.

Back at the shop, the girls went to the back to take a bath together.

Qiqi, Xia Zhen, and Guoba sat in the hall.

Xia Zhi looked at her: "Qiqi, aren't you going?"

Qiqi is currently wearing the golden [Corpse Bead], which allows her to maintain a body that is indistinguishable from that of a living person, and she does not feel uncomfortable even when soaking in hot water.

Qiqi shook her head and whispered, "Master, I have a wound on my leg..."

Xia Zhi remembered the deep, never-healing wound on her thigh.

"Still no good signs?"

"It's all better now. I applied some medicine to the wound myself, but it was a bit slow."

"It's taking a little longer to heal... Come in with me, let me take a look."

"Okay Master."

Qi Qi got off the stool and followed Xia Zhi into the back hall.

Only Guoba and Xia Zhen remained, sitting in the hall, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Woo..."

"Ugh……"

Qiqi tiptoed and climbed onto the small bed.

Xia Zhi slowly rolled up Qi Qi's trouser leg and unwrapped the white bandage wrapped around her right leg, one loop at a time.

During this process, Qiqi's face inexplicably turned red.

A deep and long wound appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

It's just as scary as before.

However, the color has become less pale and has gained a normal rosy hue.

The wound was covered with a paste of herbal medicine, and there were already some traces of scabs at the edges.

Xia Zhi took a light sniff and easily recognized from the scent of the herbs that they were just ordinary medicinal materials.

It has some healing effect, but not much.

"I'm sorry, Qiqi, it was my oversight."

"Master..."

"Next time something similar happens, remember to tell me directly, don't always try to solve it yourself."

"it is good……"

"It's normal for a master to help his apprentice. Don't feel like you're bothering me."

"……Um."

Xia Zhi reached out a finger and gently touched it, asking, "Does it hurt?"

Qiqi pursed her lips and whispered, "A little..."

Xia Zhi frowned: "You're lying again. Your legs are so tense, they must hurt a lot."

Qiqi's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved: "It... didn't hurt before."

Xia Zhi said helplessly, "The past is the past, things are different now. With the Corpse Bead on, your body is not much different from a normal person's. You will feel cold, hot, and in pain... It's amazing that you've been able to endure it these past few days, and I didn't even notice anything unusual... Just bear with it a little longer, and I'll help you remove these wound medicines."

Xia Zhi carefully and meticulously removed the herbs from Qi Qi's wound.

Qiqi bit her lip and didn't utter a sound.

This silly girl.

After doing all this, Xia Zhi raised his hand and tried to cast a healing spell on Qi Qi.

A warm white light fell on the wound.

The wound began to heal visibly.

Although Qiqi is a zombie, her body is now affected by the Corpse Beads and is no different from that of a living person, so the healing spell was indeed effective for her.

Xia Zhi glanced at Qi Qi again; her brows had relaxed, and she seemed to be fine.

"how do you feel?"

"Very...comfortable."

"That's good."

After confirming that light-based spells would not harm Qi Qi, Xia Zhi immediately cast a [Divine Healing Spell] on her.

A sacred golden light descended.

The wound, which was slowly healing, was instantly restored to its original state.

Qi Qi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Master... is so amazing."

"Right? So if you encounter any problems in the future, just come to your master. Many things that you think are impossible are trivial matters to your master."

"Ah."

"Alright, go to the back and take a bath with everyone. Taking a bath is a very comfortable thing, so you should enjoy it too."

"Thank you, Master."

Qiqi sat up from the small bed and looked at Xia Zhi's face, which was so close to hers. Her gaze hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't dare to do anything to her master. She just silently jumped off the small bed and went to the back.

Xia Zhi noticed Qi Qi's unusual behavior just now. After she left, his expression became somewhat strange. He then shook his head and bent down to tidy up the small bed.

Qiqi arrived at the bathhouse and gently opened the door.

Inside was a cloud of white vapor.

"Hey? What brings Qiqi here?"
