I'm a male god in Liyue

“When I visited your home last time, I was warmly received by your parents. It is only right that you do the same for me now that you are visiting me.”

"This……"

"Don't worry, the boss is a great cook."

Upon hearing this, Xingqiu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Mr. Xia, are you cooking yourself?"

Shen He nodded slightly: "Mm."

Xingqiu quickly tugged at Chongyun's sleeve under the table, signaling him to agree.

Whether or not I get a free meal is irrelevant; the main thing is that relatives should visit and interact with each other more often.

Chongyun glanced at Xingqiu with a puzzled look, but couldn't refuse his elder's invitation to stay: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's alright, there are books on the table. You can read them if you're bored. I'll go back to work now."

"Okay, you can go ahead and do your work, don't worry about us."

Shen He turned and left.

After Chongyun waited until she was out of sight, he looked at Xingqiu and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you busy today?"

"What do I have to be busy with? My older brother is the one who's busy."

"Didn't you say yesterday that the sons of various wealthy merchants were hosting a lunch party at Xinyuexuan today and invited you to attend?"

"It seems there is such a thing, but those kinds of dinner parties are really boring. Don't worry, as a friend, I definitely won't leave you out today."

"..."

"Don't think too much about it. As the saying goes, steal half a day of leisure from a busy life. Chongyun, come and try this rainbow juice. Haven't you always been curious about its taste?"

Chongyun lowered his head and looked at the cup in front of him.

Two very pretty cups of colorful drinks.

He was initially worried that Xingqiu might be up to some trick again, but the satisfied expressions of the customers in the store were undeniable, and since his aunt worked there, he figured there shouldn't be any problems.

He picked up the cup, took a small sip, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Chongyun, how does it taste?"

"It really tastes great."

"I told you it's good stuff, and you still doubt me."

"...Xingqiu, do you remember where that haunted village is now?"

"I'm almost there, just a little bit more. The book says that people's memory is best at noon. I should be able to remember it after lunch."

"...Which book said that?"

"I've read too many books to remember them all right now."

"..."

Chongyun silently lowered his head and continued drinking his juice.

After a while, Shen He brought over a plate of mooncakes and a plate of osmanthus cakes to entertain them.

Needless to say, the feeling was indescribable, and the progress bars on both of them increased a little more.

Around noon, after seeing off the customers, Xia Zhi came over, greeted Xingqiu and Chongyun, and asked, "Do you two have any dietary restrictions?"

Xingqiu smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just don't like carrots. But Chongyun has a pure yang body, so he has a lot of dietary restrictions. He can't eat any food that's hot or spicy, especially food with Jueyun pepper."

Pure Yang Body... So Chongyun has this special constitution.

Xia Zhi had seen a related record in the book "Jueyun Jiwen". It is said that this kind of constitution is rare, and all ghosts and monsters will avoid it. However, because of the excessive yang energy, the blood is easily boiling, and emotions will also be agitated, making it easy to go berserk and drastically change one's temperament.

Xia Zhi glanced at Chong Yun's Eye of God again, and it turned out to be ice-type, which was the opposite of his physique. That was quite interesting.

"I see, I understand. Please wait a moment."

Xia Zhi entered the kitchen and began preparing a meal.

Some of the ingredients bought yesterday were still unused, and Shen He had frozen them with his ice elemental power. They had been taken out and thawed earlier, and now he had processed them with the [Eternal Spirit Blade], restoring them to freshness.

I made eight simple dishes, mostly light in flavor, plus two cold dishes.

Please forgive the simple meal.

"Mr. Xia is being too modest. I have already eaten at all the famous restaurants in Liyue, big and small, and I really can't find any with such good cooking skills."

Xia Zhi smiled, recalling what happened yesterday.

"I heard from Zhu Zi that Young Master Xingqiu's family really enjoys the mooncakes I make?"

"Yes! I took the mooncakes that Mr. Xia gave us back for everyone to try. My parents and older brother liked them very much. After they finished eating, they were still a little unsatisfied, so we invited some pastry chefs over, hoping they could make some mooncakes like the ones they made. Although those chefs were skilled and made very beautiful mooncakes, I think they were still a little lacking compared to the mooncakes made by Mr. Xia."

"Actually, the taste is already very close."

"Mr. Xia is too modest. Even the pastry chefs admit that Mr. Xia's mooncakes are more delicious."

"Perhaps it's a problem with the recipe; there might be some differences. I'll tell you the recipe later, and you can have the chefs try it again when we get back."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"Please eat more, don't be shy."

"Okay!"

A moment later, Xia Zhi heard two system notification sounds in his mind.

"Progress bar has reached 100%, Silver Treasure Chest reward obtained."

"Progress bar has reached 100%, and you have received the Golden Treasure Chest reward."

Xia Zhi glanced at the two treasure chests in his inventory, not in a hurry to open them immediately, mainly because there were many people around and it wasn't convenient.

He has the Hourglass of Time, which he opens when he is alone in his room at night. If the item he gets is useless to him at this stage, he can turn back time and open it a few more times.

"By the way, I wonder when the first batch of reeds will arrive?"

"It should arrive in the next day or two. Once it arrives, I will deliver it to Mr. Xia as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Young Master Xingqiu."

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Xingqiu and Chongyun said goodbye and left.

Chongyun earnestly invited Xia Zhi and Zhu Zi to visit his home with Shen He next time, and Xia Zhi smiled and agreed.

Turning around, Xia Zhi "saw" a hint of relaxation flash across Shen He's cold face.

It's clear that Shen He is not good at handling these kinds of "kinship" matters, after all, she has lived alone in Jueyun since she was a child and has little experience in dealing with people.

After tidying up, the three of them sat in the shop to rest until 2 p.m., when they would open for business.

Around 4 p.m., Zhong Li walked into the shop.

"Mr. Zhongli, please have a seat. The usual?"

"Ah."

As usual, Xia Zhi prepared two glasses of highly concentrated fruit juice and had Zhu Zi bring them over. Then, from a god-like perspective, he watched Zhong Li's figure and selected it.

The system notification sounded in my mind.

"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"

"Yes."

"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [Celestial Star] from the target."

"【Learn from Others】 is now on cooldown. It can be used again in 24 hours."

Xia Zhi glanced at Zhong Li, whose behavior was normal, seemingly unaware of what had just happened.

Xia Zhi felt relieved and opened the system panel to check out the new skills she had just learned.

"【Celestial Star】: A massive star rock falls from the sky, dealing massive Geo DMG to enemies within its impact area and petrifying them."

"Mana cost: 100000 points."

The skill is grayed out because he doesn't have enough mana to use it temporarily.

However, judging from its enormous mana consumption, it is on the same level as fifth-tier light magic spells and is also considered a god-tier skill.

pretty good.

As a light-elemental god, he is exactly lacking in large-area damage skills.

Xia Zhi then looked at the phrase "massive Geo elemental damage" in the skill description.

Geo element...

There seems to be only one Geo Archon in this world, and that is the Geo King...

Then Mr. Zhongli must be Morax...

Xia Zhi turned off the system panel and looked at Zhong Li, who was calmly drinking juice. A strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.
