I'm a male god in Liyue

27 Twilight Mushrooms, 5 Dream Flowers, and 1 Nightmare Fruit.

These were his hauls from last night; after collecting them, he earned a total of 33 points.

He gained 4 more points than the night before last, partly because he was lucky last night, and partly because his gathering skills had become more proficient.

This is good.

Xia Zhi stretched, put away the [Dream Pillow], changed his clothes, and brewed several batches of [Joyful Incense] as a form of welfare income before going downstairs to wash up.

Shen He and Zhu Zi had already gotten up. One was wiping the table with a rag, and the other was mopping the floor with a mop, both looking very serious.

Good morning, boss!

Good morning, boss.

Two diligent girls saw him come out and quickly greeted him.

Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Good morning, both of you."

Zhu Zi was wearing a black stocking uniform, looking youthful and beautiful.

Shen He was also wearing the same black stockings uniform, but the clothes looked a bit small, causing some parts to be very tight, making him wonder how much pressure the small button was under and whether it would suddenly burst off.

Xia Zhi remembered that Zhu Zi and Shen He had gone to the tailor shop to order uniforms the day before yesterday afternoon. They should not be finished yet, so the uniform that Shen He was wearing now should be one that Zhu Zi had lent to her.

The two women were about the same height, but Shen He was a bit older and had a better figure than Zhu Zi, so the dress looked particularly flattering on her. Combined with her ethereal and aloof temperament, it gave her a stunningly beautiful and cold aura.

I never imagined that Shen He had such a good figure despite only eating herbs and having such an unbalanced diet.

If Master Hu were to see this, he would likely fall into self-doubt.

Xia Zhi snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Let's go have breakfast."

Zhu Zi glanced at the door and said, "Boss, the shop isn't open yet."

"Ok?"

"There were many customers queuing outside. The first customer in line seemed to have arrived before dawn. When I came down, I could hear customers talking outside the door."

"Wow, so welcoming... It's alright, let's go."

"Oh."

Xia Zhi walked over and pushed the door open.

Sure enough, there was a very long queue outside, almost reaching the entrance of the ancestral hall.

At this time, people seemed to no longer be afraid of getting tainted by the bad luck of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Boss! Your shop should be open today, right?"

"Yes."

"Great! I haven't had juice for two days. I can't eat well during the day, and I can't sleep well at night. I'm losing weight!"

"My friend has a terminal illness, and he hasn't breathed his last for two days. He's just waiting to drink this juice!"

"...Please be patient, dear customers. Our shop will open at the appointed time. Please wait patiently."

"Don't worry! Boss, go have some breakfast! We'll wait for you to come back!"

"Yeah!"

Xia Zhi smiled and left with Zhu Zi and Shen He. They could still faintly hear the customers in line talking behind them, all expressing their anticipation for the rainbow juice. Surprisingly, very few people were talking about Shen He.

It seems that in the eyes of the guests, this new, pretty older waitress is not as attractive as a glass of rainbow juice.

This shows that the people of Liyue have transcended vulgar tastes.

"How are you feeling, Miss Shen He?"

"what?"

"Did you feel uncomfortable in a scene with so many people like that?"

"Fortunately."

"That's good. Although we open this shop to serve our customers, if any customer intentionally offends you, you don't have to put up with it. Just tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you."

"Ah."

As Shen He walked, he nodded repeatedly, and even the surrounding scenery seemed to tremble with a sense of trepidation.

Xia Zhi withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

The buttons on this uniform are of really good quality.

That tailor shop is really honest and trustworthy.

Chapter Ninety-One: Miss Shen He's Red String Binding Soul

After having breakfast outside, we returned to the small shop and started operating.

Upon opening the shop door, Zhu Zi stood at the entrance, greeting customers with a smile. Shen He followed beside her, quietly watching his senior's actions and learning diligently.

First, greet them with a smile, lead them in, guide them to an empty table, ask how many juices they want, then tell the owner their request. After the owner prepares the juice, serve it to the customer and collect payment. Once the customer has finished their juice, smile and see them out of the shop.

That was all she had to do, and Shen He quickly learned it.

The only thing that she found difficult was that she couldn't smile at people like Miss Zhu.

Even if it's just a polite but slightly distant business smile.

In Shen He's memory, she hadn't laughed or cried in a long time.

Back then, she was taken in by her master and brought to the immortal cave in Jueyun. The True Lord of Xiaoyue Zhuyang once performed divination for her when she was young.

The divination indicates that her destiny is afflicted by both the Lonely Star and the Robbery Star, making her extremely murderous and a rare, highly inauspicious destiny that harms both herself and others.

To ensure her safe growth without harming innocent people, the immortals cast a red rope spell on her to bind her soul.

This Taoist magic, while binding her fierce and murderous aura, also imprisoned many of the emotions that belong to a human being.

Since then, trivial matters have become less and less likely to stir her emotions, and things that ordinary people value are nothing more than fleeting dust to her.

As her humanity weakened, she resembled a beautiful sculpture devoid of emotions and desires.

Shen He herself didn't really care about this matter, but her master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, felt that it wasn't good for her to continue being so heartless and cold-hearted. He had thought about untying the red rope binding her soul, but in the end, due to some concerns, she gave up.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why her master sent her down the mountain to enter the world.

Shen He tried to pull at the corners of his mouth, but found that he still couldn't put on a natural smile.

She walked to the table and lowered her voice.

"boss."

"Ok?"

"I can't laugh."

"It's okay, you don't have to smile. Just do things your usual way and don't care about what others think. After all, we sell juice, not smiles."

"Hmm... I'll go help then."

"Go."

Shen He walked to the shop entrance, looked at the people queuing, and said calmly, "Next customer, please come in with me."

The person at the front of the line was the very first customer from Mondstadt who had entered the store on its opening day. He paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay."

He followed Shen He into the store and sat down at an empty table.

"Sir, would you like one glass of juice or two?"

"Two drinks! Do you still offer delivery today?"

"Delivery service?"

"It's the kind of cup made from bamboo tubes like last time."

"Sorry, not today."

"Oh."

"please wait."

Shen He turned around and went to the table.

"Boss, two glasses of juice."

"it is good."

Xia Zhi prepared the juice and handed her the glass.

Shen He returned to the table with the tray, put down the juice, and said casually, "Your juice is ready. It will cost 200 moles."

He paid readily, picked up his cup, took a sip, and a satisfied look appeared on his face: "It tastes different again..."

Then he couldn't help but sigh, "It tastes much better than wine. After the Festival of the Moon, when I go back to Mondstadt I won't be able to drink it anymore. I don't know what I'll do then..."

He turned his head and saw that the aloof waitress was still standing by the table.
