I'm a male god in Liyue

She appeared extremely alluring and beautiful.

At one point, she suddenly turned her head, her face flushed, and glared at Xia Zhi lying on the bed.

If she weren't afraid of waking him, she might have scolded him a few more times.

Then, blushing, she turned back and continued watching.

Xia Zhi pretended to be dead, but inwardly he was laughing uncontrollably.

That's it? That's it?

They'll dare to do it again tomorrow!

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the incense in the incense burner slowly burned out.

She sniffed, abruptly looked up from her manuscript, stared at the incense burner that was no longer smoking, paused for a moment, and then her face showed disbelief.

No, where's my incense?

It burned up like that?

Didn't it burn all night long the other day?

The fire even burned until dawn the day before yesterday, and some parts were still burning.

What's going on today?

She carefully checked the incense burner several times to make sure the incense inside was really gone, and then began searching the whole house from top to bottom.

The result was the same as yesterday: nothing was gained.

Finally, she floated to the bedside and looked at Xia Zhi with a resentful expression.

Xia Zhi could clearly read several words on her pretty, aggrieved face.

Where exactly did you hide the incense?

This adorable begging feeling is somewhat like Miss Zhu asking him for juice.

It's a pity that Zhu Zi is a model worker who wears black stockings five days a week and also does the laundry.

she is not.

Xia Zhi continued to play dead and browsed the [Shop] alone.

She stood by the bed and looked at him resentfully for a while. She probably figured it out and realized that although she ate less well today, it was still much better than not eating anything at all yesterday. She then drifted back to the table, picked up the manuscript, and continued reading.

Once, twice, three times...

There is really nothing to do with her.

Xia Zhi gradually felt sleepy, so he closed the [Shop], calmed his mind, and began to truly sleep.

I could faintly hear the sound of waves crashing in the sea breeze and the sound of a ship's horn. Even though I was in the same room as a ghost, I didn't feel the atmosphere was eerie at all. On the contrary, I felt a little at ease.

They can act recklessly with the tacit approval of the Seven Stars and even live in the Hall of Rebirth, which is dedicated to handling matters of life and death.

But no one knows her true identity...

Chapter Fifty-Three: Walnut and Seven Seven

The next morning, around eight o'clock.

Xia Zhi woke up as usual, got out of bed and opened the window. She could see that there were already quite a few tourists strolling on the street outside.

After all, this is the bustling Feiyunpo.

At this time of day, most shops have already resumed their daily operations, and very few shops open at nine in the morning.

Of course, the Hall of Rebirth is an exception.

People passing by on the street would occasionally stop and look at the newly opened shop with curious eyes.

"A summer shop? What does it sell?"

"I don't know. The sign looks so new, it must be a newly opened store, right?"

"That girl sweeping the floor at the store entrance is so pretty, why don't we go over and ask her?"

"elbow!"

"Excuse me, gentlemen, our shop is not open yet. Please come back after nine o'clock."

"All right……"

Hearing the sounds coming from downstairs, Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile, then turned and walked to the table.

His manuscript was left exactly as it was, in its original place.

Xia Zhi put away the manuscript, changed out of her pajamas, and then picked up the incense burner.

As he went downstairs, he saw Qiqi sitting alone at a table in the shop, staring blankly at the wall. However, he didn't see the medicine basket in the shop, so Qiqi probably didn't go to the mountains to collect herbs last night.

Zhu Zi was sweeping the floor at the door, wearing the cheongsam-style uniform she had picked up yesterday. The perfect size showed off her youthful curves to the fullest. Her slender, straight legs were wrapped in black stockings, exuding a soft and charming aura. She was also wearing a pair of high heels, which made her look even taller and more attractive.

"Boss, you're finally up!"

Zhu Zi had been sweeping the floor for half a day, glancing into the shop countless times. Finally, she spotted Xia Zhi and immediately called out.

Xia Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "Good morning, Zhu Zi."

Looking at his completely unhurried appearance, Zhu Zi felt a sense of helplessness, like a boss who isn't worried but an employee is. She said, "Boss, we're opening today!"

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time. We don't start work until nine."

"Many customers have already come to ask me about it!"

"I know."

"what?"

“I heard it from upstairs.”

Zhu Zi opened her mouth, but suddenly had nothing to say. She cutely puffed out her cheeks, looked at the table in the shop, and said, "Qi Qi came here a long time ago too."

Xia Zhi pretended to realize it for the first time. After all, he was blind, and since Qi Qi didn't speak, he shouldn't have known that she was sitting there. He nodded and said, "Good morning, Miss Qi Qi."

Qi Qi looked at the incense burner in his hand and said softly, "Good morning, Mr. Xia Zhi."

Xia Zhi walked over, placed the incense burner on the table, took out a small piece of incense, put it in, and lit it.

A familiar and pleasant fragrance wafted through the air.

As Qiqi smelled the aroma, a hint of satisfaction appeared on her pale face.

Compared to the beautiful female ghost from last night, she was much more reserved.

Xia Zhi turned around, went to the back of the house to wash up, and returned here: "Miss Qiqi, we are about to have breakfast, and we need to ask you to watch the shop for a while."

Qi Qi sat up slightly and said seriously, "Okay."

"If a customer comes to ask, just tell them that the shop is not open yet and to come back after nine o'clock."

"Ah."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Qiqi."

"No trouble."

Xia Zhi and Zhu Zi went out.

Qiqi thought for a moment, then moved the stool to the shop entrance and sat there quietly watching the passersby on the street.

Whenever a customer came to inquire, she would stand up from her stool, tilt her head back slightly, and tell the person in a serious tone that it was not yet opening time and they should come back after nine o'clock.

Just as Qiqi was about to sit down after seeing off a curious guest, she suddenly heard a lively and quirky voice coming from behind her.

"Oh, isn't this Qiqi?"

As if she had heard some terrifying sound, Qiqi suddenly stopped and slowly turned her head.

A familiar figure came into view.

Deep red twin ponytails, a black Qiankun Tai Gua hat, bright red plum blossoms, the emblem of the Hall of Rebirth...

With a bright smile on her face, Hu Tao walked towards Qi Qi with light steps, her hands behind her back.

The low, resonant sound of her shoes hitting the ground seemed to echo in Qiqi's heart, which had long since ceased to beat.

He was kidnapped by her multiple times, had a bag put over his head, watched her frantically dig a pit for burning, and wrote a letter of apology, lamenting that he was too slow to be properly buried...

These unpleasant and even terrifying memories had been forgotten by Qiqi, but in the past two days, due to the effects of the incense, she has remembered them all again.

Hu Tao walked up to Qi Qi, looked at her curiously, and asked, "Why didn't you stay at Bu Bu Lu today? How dare you come to my territory?..."

Qiqi looked up and silently stared at her. In the past, she had always been caught by her at night when no one was around. But now it was broad daylight and there were many people on the street. She thought that she shouldn't be reckless.

Hu Tao felt a little strange being looked at with such an odd gaze. In her memory, Qi Qi's eyes always held a kind of naivety, never appearing as normal as they did today.

Hu Tao felt that this Qiqi was different from the previous Qiqi, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with me?"

Qi Qi blinked and said softly, "I'm helping Mr. Xia Zhi mind the shop."
