I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 897

Xia Zhen lowered his head, his expression thoughtful.

I don't really want to eat sukiyaki tomorrow night.

Ying was taken aback by his question and asked, "What would you like to eat, sister?"

Xia Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I've been living with my cousin lately, and I really enjoy eating Liyue vegetables."

"Liyue Cai..."

A hint of distress flashed in Ying's eyes.

She hasn't cooked properly in five hundred years.

The sukiyaki that my sister just ate was actually a "successful creation" that she made many times in the kitchen before serving it.

Even five hundred years ago, she only knew how to make some common Inazuma dishes, all of which were taught to her by the Fox Palace. She didn't know how to make Liyue dishes.

She never lies to her sister.

Ying said somewhat dejectedly, "Sister, I don't know how to cook Liyue cuisine yet."

Xia Zhen put down her chopsticks, patted her sister's hair, and said, "It's okay, you can learn if you don't know how. I believe you can learn it soon."

Encouraged by her sister, Ying immediately became motivated.

"Okay! Sister! I'll go learn right away!"

“Great, Ying, I suggest you learn from your cousin. His cooking skills are excellent.”

"That Mr. Xia?"

"What Mr. Xia! Since he is my cousin, he is naturally your cousin as well. Don't be so formal by calling him Mr. Xia."

"what?"

Ying was momentarily stunned.

Xia Zhen then said earnestly to her, "My cousin is still my savior. When you go to him to learn how to cook, you must not be rude to him."

Ying lowered her head and said, "I understand, sister."

Xia Zhen waved her hand and said, "Alright, Ying, you can go and rest now. I still have to continue working here."

Ying looked at the casserole on the table: "Sister, this sukiyaki..."

Xia Zhen said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'll eat them all later."

Ying nodded, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "That's good."

The younger sister closed the door and obediently left the castle tower.

Xia Zhen looked at the huge pot of culinary disaster on the table and sighed softly.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she put the pot lid on, took out her phone, took a picture, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

[Working late at night, my sister brought me some sukiyaki.]

After showing off, Xia Zhen put down her phone and continued to browse through the files and information she hadn't finished reading before.

A few minutes later, Xia Zhen finished reading the document in her hand, picked up her phone to check, and found that her previous post on WeChat Moments had already received likes and comments.

【凝光】：Envy.

[Qin]: Envy +1.

Needless to say, the two of them are probably working overtime in the office right now.

Xia Zhen looked at the screen and shook her head.

If they knew the truth behind the casserole, they definitely wouldn't be so envious.

Xia Ci updated the phone's version last time.

Many interesting new features have been added to the system.

One of these options is "Special Attention".

You can set this option for a specific friend in your list, and the system will immediately send you a notification to inform you of their activity.

It's worth noting that this setting is one-way.

The other person will not realize that they have been marked.

As for why Xia Ci would create such a strange function, those who know, know.

Someone like Barbara, who is obsessed with her older sister, must have already set up a "special care" setting for [Jin].

So when Qin liked and commented on Xia Zhen's post on WeChat Moments, Barbara, who had just finished taking a shower, immediately received a notification.

She clicked on it and took a look, then fell into deep thought.

Why did my sister suddenly like her post and comment that she was envious?

Is this someone envying another person's younger sister for bringing her older sister a late-night snack?

Is she implying something?

Does she want me to bring her late-night snacks when she works overtime at night?

Barbara lay on the bed, rolling around with her phone in her arms.

In the past, she certainly wouldn't have had such a bold idea.

However, after attending several gatherings hosted by Mr. Xia recently, her relationship with her sister Qin has become much closer, and the two often chat on their phones.

However, neither of them has used the terms "sister" or "brother" explicitly, and it seems that a breakthrough opportunity is still needed.

Perhaps... this is the opportunity I've been waiting for...

Barbara lay in bed, staring at the ceiling for a long time before finally finding Noelle's profile picture on her phone and sending her a message.

[Barbara]: Noelle, I want to ask you, what does Jean like to eat?

Inside a room at the shrine.

Qiqi took out a crystal-clear incense stick, placed it on the shelf, and lit it.

A unique fragrance wafted through the air.

Hana Sanri stood to the side, took a gentle breath, and felt her mind become clear.

Yes, that's the taste.

It smelled very similar to the scent I had when I entered the massage room before, except that it lacked the fragrance of essential oils and flower petals.

Hana Sanri closed her eyes and felt her memories slowly returning, with many familiar scenes flashing through her mind.

Qi Qi didn't disturb her, and quietly sat on her bed to continue her cultivation for the day.

Until the phone in my pocket vibrated.

It was a message from Fischl.

[Fischl]: I just finished video chatting with home, Qiqi! Let's go! Time to go out and have some fun!

【Qiqi】: Okay.

Qiqi put her phone away and waved towards the window. A round, plump magpie flew in and landed on her shoulder.

Qiqi got out of bed, glanced at Hana Sanri who was still standing by the incense burner with her eyes closed, and left the room quietly without saying anything.

After a while, Hana Sanri emerged from that strange state, opened her eyes, and was about to say something when she realized that Nana was no longer there.

She was the only one left in the room.

Hana Sanri stared blankly at the empty bed for a moment, then realized what was happening and muttered to herself.

"Has Qiqi gone out to be a magical girl again...?"

Hana Sanri turned around and walked back to her bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed her face with her hands.

She had remembered some forgotten things that had suddenly come to mind during the day because of Rii's appearance.

Those things were indeed related to the "Demon Fox".

Its name is [Gohyakuzō]. It was once tricked by [Kusai-gū], which made it an official appointed by the Grand Master. Its full name is [Hidden God Protector of Life, Chief Gohyakuzō]. Its duty is to protect the Forest of Guardian, and to protect that land and spiritual veins.

Five hundred years ago, a dark calamity struck. [Fox Palace] knew that with [Five Hundred Treasures]'s simple nature, he would eventually perish in order to uphold his duty and protect the forest.

To avoid such a pointless sacrifice, [Fox Palace] challenged [Goboku] to a game of hide-and-seek, deliberately saying things like, "Never show yourself," and "If anything happens, it's because I'm using magic to provoke you." As a result, [Goboku] foolishly hid somewhere and didn't come out, waiting for [Fox Palace] to find it.

After successfully deceiving [Wu Baizang], [Huzhaigong] went to stop the dark calamity, but failed and was devoured by it, and then had no more memories related to [Wu Baizang].

Hana Sanri rested her chin on her hands, gazing at the falling cherry blossoms outside the window.

"That guy, could he still be hiding somewhere waiting for her to come looking for him? It's been so long, he shouldn't be that stupid, right? But with his straightforward nature, it's hard to say... I really have to go there and check it out myself... But I have no strength at all right now, my body is just like an ordinary person's, it's not safe for me to go to the Guardian Forest alone..."

Hana Sanri narrowed her long, narrow eyes, exuding a charming aura, and murmured to herself.

"But it's not like there's no other way... I can go to Mr. Xia and become a magical girl..."

Ying did not listen to her sister and went back to her room to rest.
