I'm a male god in Liyue

For some reason, the atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly seemed a bit tense.

--

Moon Sea Pavilion, a certain room.

Ningguang was admiring the glass lily ornaments on the table, her eyes filled with admiration.

A knocking sound suddenly rang out, seemingly in sync with some kind of rhythm.

When the knocking stopped, Ningguang looked up.

"Come in, Yelan."

The door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in from outside.

"Lord Ningguang."

"Any results from the investigation?"

"Ah."

"Tell me."

"Xia Zhi, the owner of Xia Tian's shop, entered Liyue City from the direction of Tianheng Mountain about half a month ago. A passerby said that he saw a white crane full of spirituality traveling with him. After entering the city, he parted ways with it. Based on Shen He and Gan Yu's behavior, it is suspected that the white crane is Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun."

"True Lord Liuyun, huh..."

"After entering the city, he went to the Adventurers' Guild to register and received an Adventurer's Certificate. He used the name Xia Zhi, was 22 years old, and his occupation was commoner. Because he was blind, Catherine helped him fill out the information. He then immediately completed a quest for five slime slurries, receiving a reward of 5000 Mora. After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, he bought a map of the city from a roadside shop..."

"map?"

"Yes."

"If he's blind, why would he buy a map?"

"This is also what I found strange at first. I went to observe him at noon and found that he did not find my trace. He did not do anything unusual in the store in the afternoon. His eyes seem to be really blind. I suspect that he has the ability to sense objects in a small area."

"A divine sense similar to that of an immortal?"

"Ah."

"You go on."

"He stayed at the Seaview Inn for three days, during which he went out to explore every day, covering various areas of Liyue. He liked to eat at Wanmin Hall, where he met the owner of Liu's Fish Shop by sharing a table. They had a pleasant conversation and also went to Yiyan Temple to offer incense. On the third day, he went to Xingxingzhai and traded a glass lily ornament with Xingxizhai Master, obtaining 1000 million Mora."

"A glass lily ornament?"

"It's this one on your desk."

"...So this work was created by him. I was wondering why another master sculptor with such outstanding skills had appeared out of Liyue."

"Afterwards, he commissioned lawyer Yanfei to buy the house next to the Wangsheng Hall for 500 million Mora and completed the opening procedures at the General Affairs Department. Then, he hired an ordinary girl named Zhuzi from Inazuma and launched a special drink called Rainbow Juice. Its flavors were varied and the price was cheap, which was very popular with customers, and the small shop became famous. The day before the opening, he went to Yiyan Temple to offer incense."

"Going to burn incense again?"

"Yes, this time when he was offering incense, he talked with the worshippers and mentioned that he had stayed at a small temple and bought three special incense sticks from the temple keeper for 3 mora, which had a wonderful effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit."

"A predestined connection with immortals..."

“A few days ago, Shen He came into the city and brought you a talisman from the immortals. After that, he searched for people all over the city until he met him…”

Ye Lan recounted in detail the many things she had investigated.

Ningguang listened and pondered for a moment.

"So, what's your conclusion?"

“An ordinary person who has dealings with immortals, with excellent cooking skills. Although he is blind, he has gained a slight spiritual power with the help of immortals. He should possess one or two immortal artifacts that were given to him. He has a gentle personality and a mysterious background, but he poses no threat to Liyue and does not qualify to be included in the list of people to be of special concern.”

"Hmm... then let's give a heads-up to those envious shops and prevent them from causing trouble."

"it is good."

Chapter 113 Someone's Going to Be Round and Chubby

Morning light filters through the cracks in the wooden window, falling in fine strands onto the soft, white pillow.

Xia Zhi opened her eyes, sat up from the head of the bed, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

He heard a series of crackling explosions outside the window, creating a festive atmosphere.

Xia Zhi was momentarily dazed, then got out of bed and pushed open the closed window.

A cool breeze brushed my face, carrying a faint smell of the sea and the faint smell of gunpowder after a firecracker exploded.

The annual major festival in Liyue, the Festival of the Moon, has arrived.

Xia Zhi leaned against the windowsill, quietly "watching" the street scene for a while before returning inside.

He opened his inventory and, as usual, checked his loot from the dream world the night before.

36 Twilight Mushrooms, 6 Dream Flowers, 1 Nightmare Fruit, for a total of 43 points.

The number of available points has once again exceeded 100.

Xia Zhi changed out of her pajamas, put away the [Dream Pillow], glanced at the wall next to the Hall of Rebirth, and turned to go downstairs.

It was still very early, around 7 a.m., but Zhu Zi, Shen He, and Gan Yu were already up and chatting together.

Good morning, boss!

Good morning, boss.

Good morning, Mr. Xia.

Good morning, all three of you.

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, then went to the back of the house to wash up.

After washing up, he called out from the kitchen doorway, "Someone come and help me start the fire."

"it is good!"

A moment later, all three girls went into the kitchen.

"Let me do it."

"I'll do it! I've been tending the fire every day!"

"I can do that too..."

Xia Zhi smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"No need to argue, I'll handle the allocation. Zhu Zi, you help me start the fire."

"Great!"

"Miss Shen He is quite strong, so she helped me grind the beans."

"Ah."

"Miss Gan Yu, could you help me out? This morning we're having eight-treasure porridge with scallion pancakes. Could you please bring me the flour and wash some scallions for me?"

"it is good."

Xia Zhi kneaded two smooth doughs, brushed one of them with sesame oil, set it aside to rest, and then made a pastry with sesame oil.

Gan Yu watched from the side, somewhat puzzled.

"Mr. Xia, isn't the dough a bit too leavened? The four of us probably can't finish it."

"Only half is for making scallion pancakes; I plan to use the other half for mooncakes."

"Mooncakes...aren't there still plenty in the cupboard?"

“Those mooncakes are made with lard, Miss Gan Yu, you can’t eat them.”

"Ah... it's fine if I don't eat it, Mr. Xia, you don't need to make it for me, it's too much trouble..."

"Of course we have to eat mooncakes for the Moon Festival. I didn't make them especially for Miss Gan Yu. Fresh mooncakes taste better, so I was planning to make some more today, but I just changed the oil to vegetable oil."

"I see……"

Gan Yu nodded. Although Xia Zhi's words made a lot of sense, she still believed that Xia Zhi had made the mooncakes especially for her. She didn't dwell on the matter anymore and simply kept his kindness in her heart.

While the dough was resting, Xia Zhi started cooking eight-treasure porridge. She put the washed ingredients into boiling water in proportion, stirred slowly with a large spoon, covered the pot, and waited for the beans and rice in the pot to cook until they bloomed and the soup thickened.

Next, cut the rested dough into long strips, roll them into a thin sheet, spread oil paste on the surface, sprinkle with salt and chopped green onions, fold up both ends, fold in the middle again, coil it into a ball, and roll it out into a pancake shape again. In a separate pan, brush a layer of vegetable oil, put the pancake in the pan and slowly fry it until golden brown.

By the time all the scallion pancakes were fried, the eight-treasure porridge in the pot was also ready.

Lifting the lid, a bright light flashed by, followed by a rich aroma of porridge.

Xia Zhi took out a small bottle of [Melker Star Powder] and sprinkled a little into the porridge and on the pancakes, making the already rich aroma even more tempting.

"Alright, breakfast is ready."

"it is good!"

A moment later, the four people sat at the table in the front hall, each with a large bowl of steaming hot porridge in front of them. In the center was a large plate with golden scallion pancakes on it, and next to it was a small bowl with a small spoon and white sugar.

"Just have something simple for breakfast, I'll cook you a big meal for lunch, everyone eat up."
