I'm a male god in Liyue

Feeling the warmth of the boss's fingers, Zhu Zi's face was still pale with pain, but her earlobes turned red and hot.

So shameful.

After Xia Zhi gently massaged her for a while, Zhu Zi felt the pain in her stomach gradually fade away, and in the end, she only felt the warmth and heat of the boss's palm.

So comfortable.

Is this what it feels like when your boss gives you a massage?

It feels so much better than a leg massage!

Zhu Zi couldn't help but squint her eyes. Just as she wanted to enjoy the moment a little longer, Xia Zhi withdrew his hand.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Ah? Hmm! Much better! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore!"

"That's good. You're not allowed to eat spicy snacks today, and you can only eat light dishes for dinner."

"Ah? Oh..."

"Don't go out tomorrow, just rest at the store. If your period hasn't ended by the day after tomorrow, or if you still feel unwell, I'll give you the day off and you don't need to go to work."

"Huh? Boss, I feel better now, I can go to work..."

"The massage I just gave you only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. You've probably had this problem all along, haven't you?"

"Yes, oh? Boss, how did you know...?"

"I happen to know a little bit about medicine."

“The boss is awesome!”

Not only Zhu Zi, but the other four employees also looked at him with amazement.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Shen He, go inside and get me some paper and a pen."

"it is good."

After Shen He brought paper and pen, Xia Zhi picked up the pen and wrote down a prescription on the paper.

Zhu Zi asked in a low voice, "Boss, what kind of medicine is this?"

"Here's some medicine to cure your illness."

"Oh……"

Qi Qi looked at the prescription and her expression became a little strange. She recognized some of the medicines on it, but they all seemed to have some toxicity. However, all medicines have some toxicity, and it is normal to use poisons in medicine.

She only knew how to gather herbs and didn't know much about preparing them, so she didn't voice any questions.

After the words on the paper had dried slightly, Xia Zhi handed it to Shen He.

"Shen He, could you please go to Bubulu and buy five doses of this medicine according to this prescription?"

"it is good."

Shen He carefully put away the prescription and prepared to leave.

Qiqi suddenly said, "I'll go with you."

Shen He looked at her and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two girls arrived at Bubulu, where only Agui was inside.

Shen He handed him the prescription and said softly, "According to this prescription, select five doses of medicine."

A-Gui took the prescription, glanced at it, and her expression suddenly changed: "This! Where did you get this folk remedy! How can you take this prescription!"

"what happened?"

"Your prescription is full of poison!"

"Poison? Don't worry about it, just pick it up for me, I'll pay you."

"No way! I can't give you this kind of harmful formula. What if someone dies from it?"

When Shen He heard A Gui describe Xia Zhi's prescription as a harmful poison, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

She instinctively wanted to force Agui to pick medicine for her, but then she remembered what Xia Zhi had told her and suppressed the impulse.

Agui saw Qiqi beside her and said, "Qiqi, you should quickly persuade her! She can't take this medicine!"

Qiqi thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Agui, I believe in Mr. Xia. He would never harm anyone."

But no matter what Shen He and Qi Qi said, A Gui refused to pick out medicine for them.

Shen He's patience gradually wore thin, and the cold glint in his eyes reappeared.

Just then, a gentle voice came from outside the door.

"A-Gui, what's wrong?"

"Master! You're back!"

"Hmm, this is... Ms. Shin-haku from the Summer Shop?"

"Mr. Bai."

"Qiqi is here too."

"Master, Miss Shenhe has brought over a poisonous prescription! I dare not pick the medicine for her!"

"Oh? A poison formula? Let me see it."

Agui handed the prescription to him, and Baizhu looked at it carefully. He first frowned, then pondered, then suddenly realized, and finally looked at it with admiration.

“Ah Gui, this is not a poisonous prescription.”

"what?"

“This is a perfect prescription… It’s normal that you can’t see it with your current knowledge. It’s not your fault. Just pick out the medicine for Miss Shenhe according to this prescription.”

"……Oh."

"I'm sorry, Miss Shen He. It was only because the prescription you brought was so exquisite that A Gui had a misunderstanding. As compensation for the time taken up, this medicine will be free of charge, is that alright?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhu praise Xia Zhi's prescription as exquisite, Shen He's expression softened.

"it is good."

"Where did this prescription come from?"

"Zhu Zi has a stomachache, and the boss just wrote this for her."

"Mr. Xia? You just wrote that?"

"Ah."

"..."

Bai Shu fell silent.

Changsheng, who was wrapped around his neck, also fell silent.

Bai Shu recalled what had happened at the Moon Sea Pavilion, where he had been invited to diagnose the poison in Tian Shu Xing's body.

The poison was quite rare, and even for him, it would be very difficult to concoct an antidote.

When Secretary Gan Yu saw him frowning, she said she wanted to ask Mr. Xia from Xiatian's shop to come and take a look. Mr. Xia had told her that he also knew a bit about poisons and might be able to help.

But Bai Shu shook his head and refused, because he had seen Mr. Xia before. That man had eye problems, and even if he came over, he wouldn't be able to see the symptoms, so it would probably be of no use.

Bai Zhu ultimately chose to use the [Rebirth Secret Technique] to transfer the poison from Tian Shu Xing's body to himself.

But now it seems that Mr. Xia knew far more than just "some" about poisons!

He simply wrote down a prescription, and the combination of poisons was so perfect, neutralizing all the toxicity while maximizing its medicinal properties. That level of skill was simply unimaginable to him...

It seems like I've wasted my time.

The medicine was retrieved, and Qiqi went to the kitchen to help decoct it, while Xia Zhi guided her from the side.

Zhu Zi stood by the stove, smelling the strange, bitter medicinal odor wafting from the clay pot, his face contorted with worry.

"Boss, is this medicine bitter?"

"I've never drunk it, but medicine is usually bitter."

"This smells so bitter, can you add sugar?"

"No, this prescription is full of poisons. Adding sugar will disrupt the balance of the medicine."

"Huh? Poison?"

"Hmm, for example, *Vitis vinifera* seeds will cause paralysis if ingested; *Aster tataricus* roots will cause difficulty breathing; and *Crystal Grass* will cause abdominal cramps..."

"boss……"

"Don't worry, I've already put everything together. As long as you don't add anything random, there won't be any problems."

"Then I won't add sugar!"

"If you don't dare to drink it, I can write you a new prescription without any poison."
