I'm a male god in Liyue

"it is good."

The woman nodded and followed Zhu Zi's directions to an empty table where she sat down.

A moment later, Zhu Zi came to the table.

"Boss, the customer wants two glasses of juice."

"Ah."

Xia Zhi silently withdrew his gaze from the woman; in his eyes, she was like a silver progress bar.

[Progress: 0%]

After opening the shop for more than a week, we finally got a fish to bite.

At the other table, Gan Yu looked up from her book and frowned slightly as she looked at the woman sitting not far away.

She recognized the woman; it was the same figure she had seen on the street earlier.

Night orchid.

She is a very mysterious woman.

The Liyue General Affairs Department operates with complete transparency. From high-ranking officials at Yujing Terrace to low-level employees of the Eight Gates, everyone has basic information listed in the administrative directory. The only exception is Yelan, who claims to work there. Most of her colleagues have never heard of her, and she cannot be found in the directory.

However, Gan Yu, as the secretary of the Seven Stars, knew that Ye Lan's true identity was actually a special intelligence officer directly under Ning Guang of Tianquan Star.

The General Affairs Department holds a list of individuals of special interest. While the number on the list is small, each person is an exceptionally talented individual: a leader of an incomparably heroic armed fleet; a traveler from afar possessing extraordinary abilities. It even includes some reclusive immortals whose fame remains formidable…

These people can easily stir up a storm in Liyue, even if they don't intend to.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the General Affairs Department continued to focus more attention on them.

In addition to this list, there is another, even more classified, secret intelligence list. The people on this list are the truly dangerous individuals who pose a threat to Liyue.

Ye Lan was the compiler of these two lists.

Gan Yu looked at Ye Lan, her gaze gradually becoming serious.

Could it be that Miss Yelan came to our shop to gather information about Mr. Xia and see if his name should be included in those two directories?

Chapter 110 A Woman with a Story

"Sir, your juice is ready."

Zhu Zi took two glasses of juice from the tray and carefully placed them on the table.

"200 Mora"

Ye Lan nodded, took out her wallet, and paid.

After Zhu Zi left, she picked up a cup and slowly admired it.

The shop's signature drinks were indeed as delicious as the informant had reported.

Ye Lan tilted her head back and took a sip.

This taste...

Ye Lan put down her cup, looked at the rainbow juice inside, and her expression became somewhat strange.

She doesn't like sweets.

It's not that I hate it, but rather that I'm wary of it.

When the human body experiences sweetness, it is easy to feel pleasure and satisfaction.

Yelan believes that the intense sense of satisfaction can weaken a person's willpower and make them lower their guard. Once you've tried it a few times, you could become addicted.

People who eat sweets regularly may become dull-witted without realizing it. This consequence could be fatal for someone like her who constantly walks on the edge of danger.

Because she doesn't like sweets, Ye Lan also rarely drinks sweet beverages like fruit juice. She usually drinks tea, a spicy tea with dried Jueyun pepper.

But this rainbow juice in front of her was different. Its taste was contradictory. It seemed to have no sweetness at all, yet it seemed to be extremely sweet. In addition, it gave her a sense of satisfaction that was far beyond dessert and was hard to describe.

It tastes so good.

This is not something she should drink.

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, then picked up another cup and took a small sip.

It tastes completely different from the previous cup.

But it tastes just as good.

It's exactly as the intelligence report said.

Ye Lan looked up at Xia Zhi, who was mixing juice behind the table.

Unlike when she observed him from afar on the street at noon, she was now closer to him and could see more details.

What first caught Ye Lan's attention was Xia Zhi's slender, fair fingers holding the cup.

Such beautiful and delicate hands must have belonged to someone who rarely did heavy or strenuous work and had a relatively safe living environment from childhood, which explains why there isn't a single trace of calluses or scars on them.

'This doesn't seem like someone who has lived in the mountains since childhood.'

'His fingers are very nimble, and his movements are fluid, suggesting he's undergone specialized training, perhaps due to the massage mentioned in the intelligence report.'

Ye Lan's gaze shifted slightly, looking at the silver-white ring on Xia Zhi's finger.

The design is simple and plain, seemingly just a worthless souvenir.

Ye Lan felt that this was just a facade. She gently stroked the dark blue jade bracelet on her right wrist with her fingers and noticed that it was still shimmering with a faint blue light.

This jade bracelet is called "Youqi Bracelet". It is an heirloom of the Yelan family. It contains the family's magic and can transmit simple information, but it needs to be used in pairs.

Ye Lan had accidentally lost a jade bracelet during a special operation. In order to prevent the remaining "Youqi Bracelet" from becoming a useless ornament, she consulted the family's classic texts and re-inscribed new spells into it, so that it could easily detect nearby magical fluctuations.

At this moment, the direction in which the "Youqi Wristband" sent the message was towards the table.

'He carries a mysterious item, suspected to be a ring, the power of which is unknown.'

Ye Lan subtly shifted her gaze upwards, scrutinizing Xia Zhi's face.

Although he was wearing black glasses, you could still tell that he looked very young.

'His age matches the intelligence report of 22, but it's uncertain if this is his true appearance.'

From the moment he entered the store, he didn't look in my direction once; it seemed he truly was blind.

'He walks with a very steady gait, and when eating at Wanmintang Restaurant, he always manages to pick up food with his chopsticks very accurately, leading me to suspect that he has the ability to sense objects within a small area.'

'He has a very gentle demeanor, and I can't detect any elemental power about him, so he shouldn't be a possessor of the Eye of God or the Evil Eye.'

Ye Lan withdrew her gaze and turned to look in the other direction, where she met the eyes of Gan Yu, who had been silently watching her.

Ye Lan smiled slightly and nodded to Gan Yu: "Miss Gan Yu is here too."

Gan Yu looked at her and nodded: "Yes, Miss Ye Lan, what brings you here?"

Ye Lan picked up a cup and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm here to drink rainbow juice. I've heard people talk about it a lot, and I'm a little curious about it too."

Gan Yu gave Ye Lan a deep look: "That would be best. Mr. Xia is my friend."

Ye Lan smiled and said, "I know, I just came to see for myself."

After saying that, Ye Lan lowered her head and began to drink the juice in her glass.

Although this stuff is "poisonous" and she needs to drink less of it, she's already ordered it, so it would be a waste not to finish it.

It was only two cups, so she wasn't worried about getting addicted, as long as she didn't come to this little shop again.

Ye Lan quietly finished her two glasses of juice, then got up and left.

Gan Yu watched her nimble back, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly.

She was still thinking about what Ye Lan had said.

The first half of the sentence is "I know" instead of "I know," and this one-word difference means that Ye Lan had already investigated and found out about her staying at this store last night.

The second half of the sentence is, "I just came to see what it's like." So, did she come to see Rainbow Juice or to see Mr. Xia?

Gan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, deciding that after returning to Yuehai Pavilion, she would still need to visit Tianquan Ningguang to say hello, lest Mr. Xia be targeted by the authorities due to his unclear background.

Behind the table, Xia Zhi lowered his head, mixing juice while "watching" Ye Lan's graceful figure walk away in God's view, pondering in his heart.

Thanks to the two cups of juice, Ye Lan's silver progress bar has now reached 2%, which is still a long way from being full.

However, this was just a silver treasure chest.

He earns a fair amount of points every day, and it takes him about three days to accumulate 100 points, which is equivalent to a silver item selection chest. So he's not in a rush to get one.

Like Bai Shu from Bubulu and Xing Qiu from Feiyun Merchant Guild, just leave them like this and wait for them to appear gradually in the future.

Anyway, she knows Gan Yu, so there will definitely be a chance to meet again in the future.

What Xia Zhi was more concerned about was something else.

While Ye Lan was observing him carefully and discreetly, he was also observing her more closely from a god-like perspective.

Although her clothes covered her well, he still noticed that she had many bruises and wounds on her body.
