I'm a male god in Liyue

Shen He walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and a rich, sweet aroma immediately wafted out.

She picked up the bowl of noodles, took out her chopsticks, and tasted it.

It tastes absolutely delicious!

Zhu Zi sniffed, swallowed hard, and struggled to look away from the bowl that Miss Shen He was holding.

The bowl of noodles was finished very quickly.

Shen He put down the bowl, then suddenly remembered something and returned to the back hall.

"Senior Sister Gan Yu, Grandma Ping said she will help you with your matter."

"what……"

"She will come to see us tomorrow morning."

"Oh……"

At the same time, Xia Zhi saw that Gan Yu's progress bar was finally full.

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

Chapter 107 Seems to Have Been Targeted by a Rich Woman

Upon hearing the system notification, Xia Zhi didn't rush to open the treasure chest, but instead continued to massage intently.

He only stopped after he had finished pressing all the techniques.

"How does Miss Gan Yu feel now?"

"...I feel so comfortable...Mr. Xia, are you done massaging me?"

"Well, it's not a full-body massage, so it won't take too long. Miss Gan Yu might feel a little weak, which is normal. You can lie down and rest for a while."

"it is good……"

Gan Yu responded softly.

"Then I'll go take a shower."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xia."

Only after hearing Xia Zhi's footsteps fade into the distance did Gan Yu lift her head from her arms and secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally finished pressing the buttons, she felt a little embarrassed and ashamed when she recalled the strange sounds she had made earlier.

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time she realized that getting a massage could be such a pleasurable experience.

Judging from Mr. Xia's words, what she had just experienced was not a complete massage service. She wondered what kind of comfortable feeling a full-body massage would be like. If it were that kind, she was afraid her performance would be even worse...

I wonder how many Mora would be needed for such a complete service...

Gan Yu took a gentle breath. The faint scent of incense in the air was very pleasant, making her feel calm and clear-headed.

This was actually made by Mr. Xia himself...

Mr. Xia is truly an outstanding person.

Unfortunately, he is blind...

Thinking of this, Gan Yu couldn't help but sigh again.

--

Yuehai Pavilion.

Grandma Ping sat in the chair and waited for a moment. Then, a tall, proud, mature woman emerged from behind a golden screen.

She had long, platinum blonde hair, curled up by a black and gold hairpin, parted at the back, and hanging down to her calves. Crimson tassels hanging from her forehead echoed her scarlet eyes, and a white scarf was wrapped around her neck.

She wore black arm warmers and gold finger warmers, with wide, long sleeves hanging down naturally. She wore a noble cheongsam with gold, white, and black interlacing patterns, the hem of which resembled a bird's tail, and the collar had a pattern of a golden phoenix.

A pair of long, slender legs were exposed, with a red tattoo on the left leg, a deep gold fan-shaped decoration around the waist, and a Geo-elemental Eye of the God hanging on it as a pendant.

"Grandma Ping has come so late at night, what urgent matter brings you here?"

"I heard that Qixing is planning to remove Gan Yu from the competition?"

"Make Secretary Gan Yu leave? I've never heard of this before. I wonder where Grandma Ping heard about it?"

"Since even Tianquan Ningguang doesn't know, then this matter must just be a misunderstanding."

Grandma Ping smiled and briefly recounted Gan Yu's story.

Ningguang shook her head, explaining with a hint of helplessness, "This must be a misunderstanding. Secretary Gan Yu's work is too important and too complicated for an ordinary person to handle. In the days immediately following her departure, many documents were left unprocessed in the secretariat, causing many official procedures to stall. That's why I had to send my three secretaries to temporarily take over those tasks..."

"I see."

“My three secretaries have complained to me many times. When they first learned that they would be covering for Ms. Gan Yu, and that all three of them would be working together, they thought it would just be a change of work environment. However, they did not expect that Ms. Gan Yu's daily work alone would far exceed the scope of what the three of them could handle. In order not to delay official business, they have been working overtime late into the night these days, and they are almost exhausted. Now everyone is looking forward to Secretary Gan Yu's return as soon as possible, and no one wants her to leave…”

"Although Gan Yu is a very capable and diligent child, it is not advisable for Qi Xing to place all official duties on her alone. So-called rule by man relies on more than just individual strength."

“Grandma Ping is right. I am also considering changing Liyue’s civil service system. However, Secretary Gan Yu has been working in this position for thousands of years. No one is more familiar with these matters than her. We will need her to work hard for a while longer.”

"Yes, I will go to see Gan Yu tomorrow and tell her the truth about this matter."

"Thank you for your help, Grandma Ping."

"The day after tomorrow is the Lunar New Year Festival. It's a good opportunity for Gan Yu to rest for a couple of days and come back to work once she's calmed down. How about that?"

"Very well, Secretary Gan Yu is tired from delivering the letter, she should take a good rest."

Grandma Ping nodded, and then casually mentioned something else.

“A new shop called Summer Shop recently opened in Crimson Cloud Slope. The owner is a friend of mine. His background is somewhat mysterious, but he has no ill intentions towards Liyue. You don’t need to pay too much attention to him.”

Ningguang paused for a moment, then chuckled and agreed, "I understand."

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Grandma Ping, take care."

As she watched Grandma Ping's figure disappear through the doorway, Ningguang's eyes flickered slightly, and she muttered to herself softly.

"A summer shop, huh..."

--

After taking a shower, Xia Zhi returned to her room upstairs.

He sat down at the table, lit incense, and brought up the system panel, opening his inventory.

Inside lay a golden treasure chest, lying quietly.

This is the reward he received from Miss Gan Yu tonight.

It has to be said that the progress bar for physical contact interactions like "massage" is really fast. Otherwise, Xia Zhi would have to consider whether to secretly go to Miss Gan Yu's room tonight wearing the [Hidden Hat] to do a round of massage.

Xia Zhi selects the treasure chest and opens it.

A long, thin red line appeared before his eyes.

【The Thread of Love】

Quality: Gold.

Type: Contract Item.

Characteristic: To become a couple.

Effect: When used on a member of the opposite sex with a "love" or higher level of affection, it allows you to form a life-and-death contract with them.

Hidden effect: Both parties to the contract receive a +5% bonus to all attributes.

This is a new type of item that Xia Zhi has never obtained before.

Contractual items.

Xia Zhi looked at it, his gaze thoughtful.

The "life and death together" contract described in the effect, could it mean that even if the other party dies, they will turn into a female ghost and follow you by your side?

For two people who deeply love each other, being able to stay together forever is indeed a very useful contract.

As for its hidden effect, both parties to the contract receive a 5% increase to all attributes, which Xia Zhi finds extremely powerful.

Although his current attribute values ​​are not very high, even disregarding other attributes, the +5% to charm and luck alone will be very useful for him in the future when clearing progress bars and opening chests.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi doesn't need this golden item for the time being.

Let's put it away for now and talk about it when we find a suitable contract partner later.

Xia Zhi put the [Thread of Romance] into his inventory and then took out the [Blazing Incense Burner] to refine several [Joyful Incense].

After completing his task of receiving basic living allowance, he went to bed, hugged the [Dream Pillow], and entered the dream world.

Chapter 108 Give Our Northern Bank Some Face

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from her dream, her gray eyes looking somewhat dazed. She stared blankly at the ceiling above her head for several seconds.
