I'm a male god in Liyue

"It shouldn't be, I didn't detect any residual aura of the demon god there."

"That's good... We need to send some people over there to keep watch, and if anything unusual happens, we need to send the message back immediately."

"Yes."

Chapter 141 The Fear of Being Dominated by Auspicious Omens

Early the next morning, Zhu Zi bought a large pile of fresh hawthorns from outside.

Clean it thoroughly, remove the root, put it in a pot, add enough cold water to cover it, and boil for two or three minutes until cooked.

Remove the cooked hawthorns from the water, remove the pits, add some of the water used to cook the hawthorns, and mash them together into a puree.

Then pour it back into the pot and simmer over low heat, adding an appropriate amount of rock sugar halfway through, until it becomes thick. Spread it out and let it dry slightly.

And there you have it, a sweet and sour hawthorn roll.

This stuff is delicious and keeps for a long time, making it a top-quality snack.

Xia Zhi made a little extra, intending to send some to Brother Liu and the owner of the craft shop to try; she couldn't just take their fish and dolls for free.

After making the hawthorn rolls, I started cooking the preserved egg and lean pork congee.

As a top-tier congee, the two girls were amazed by its taste when they took their first spoonful. Paired with a dish of kimchi and a salted duck egg with oil, the simple ingredients made it incredibly flavorful.

In the afternoon, at Yuehai Pavilion.

Gan Yu picked up the last document on the table and began to read it.

Notification Regarding the Reconstruction of the Qunyu Pavilion

It was delivered by Ningguang from Tianquan Star.

The contents of the document were simple: Ningguang was preparing to rebuild her Qunyu Pavilion. In order to collect two important materials that were missing, she planned to issue a reward to the public. Anyone who could find the "Mingxia Floating Life Stone" and the "Qianqi Core" would have the opportunity to ask her a question.

There's no problem. Ningguang has her own money and doesn't need to apply for funding. It's just a matter of following the procedure and making a notification.

Gan Yu signed the document, organized all the processed files, and then got up to leave.

I ran into Huixin, who came to pick up some documents, as I was leaving.

"Senior Gan Yu! You're leaving so early today?"

"Well, something came up, but I've already taken care of everything."

"Oh! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Huixin looked at Gan Yu's back and felt a little strange. Why did Gan Yu's appearance just now look so similar to how she used to rush off to meet her boyfriend?

After leaving Yuehai Pavilion, Gan Yu returned home, took a bath, changed her clothes, and came down from Yujing Terrace to a famous clothing store on Feiyun Slope.

"Boss, I'm here to pick up the clothes I ordered a few days ago."

"Yes! It's ready. Please wait a moment... Please take a look and see if it's satisfactory. If there's anything you don't like, we'll make it for you right away."

"Everything is done very well, please help me pack it up."

"it is good!"

After paying the balance, Gan Yu walked out of the clothing store carrying the bag and ran into an acquaintance with pigtails.

"Miss Gan Yu?"

"Ms. Keqing?"

The two of them looked somewhat surprised when they saw each other.

Ke Qing looked at the shopping bag in Gan Yu's hand and asked, "Miss Gan Yu, are you here to buy clothes?"

Gan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Ke Qing, what brings you here?"

“There’s a shop over there with severely rotten and old roof beams. It’s practically a dangerous building and they’re planning to demolish and rebuild it. I’ve come over to check on the situation.”

"I see. I'll be going now, so as not to disturb Miss Keqing's work."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

As Ke Qing watched Gan Yu walk away, she still felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Gan Yu's hair was slightly damp, as if she had just taken a shower.

Is Miss Gan Yu really being so serious about just going out shopping for clothes?

When Gan Yu arrived at the Summer Shop, it had just closed for the day.

Xia Zhi, Zhu Zi, Shen He, and Yao Yao were sitting together eating candied hawthorns.

"Sister Ganyu! Come and eat some candied hawthorn! It's so delicious!"

"Ah."

Zhu Zi went to the kitchen to get a new candied hawthorn.

Gan Yu walked over and handed the bag in her hand to Shen He.

"Sister?"

“I went to the shop to make clothes a few days ago and saw that the material was very good, so I made two pieces for each of you. I just estimated the size by sight, so I don’t know if the size is right. If you feel uncomfortable wearing them, I will take them back to the shop to be altered.”

Xia Zhi smiled and thanked her, "Miss Gan Yu, you're so kind."

Gan Yu sat down and smiled slightly: "I have always been grateful for Mr. Xia's kindness, so it is only right to return the favor."

Zhu Zi came out of the kitchen and handed over a string of bright red, glistening candied hawthorns.

"Miss Gan Yu, here you go."

"Thank you."

"Zhu Zi, Miss Gan Yu bought you some clothes."

Wow! So beautiful! It feels so good, it must be very expensive!

"It's not very expensive. It's an old clothing store in Feiyunpo. I've been getting my clothes made there for years. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the prices are always fair."

As Gan Yu spoke, she took a small bite of the candied hawthorn, which had a sweet and sour taste.

"Is this... a hawthorn?"

"Yes!"

"It's delicious."

After finishing the candied hawthorns, Xia Zhi packed some preserved eggs and salted duck eggs in a food box, and wrapped two strings of candied hawthorns in oil paper for Yao Yao to take back to Grandma Ping. He also reminded Shen He to remember to visit Bu Bu Lu later and invite Qi Qi to come to the shop for lunch tomorrow.

Shen He nodded and took Yao Yao out.

Xia Zhi sat down and continued chatting with Gan Yuzhu.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Zi suddenly remembered something and said, "Why didn't Mr. Zhongli come to the shop for juice?"

"He's probably busy with something; after all, he's a guest of the Hall of Rebirth."

"Oh!"

When Shen He returned, Gan Yu naturally suggested that she wanted to play mahjong.

There's nothing we can do. She just bought some beautiful new clothes to give to everyone, and now she wants to play a couple of rounds of mahjong. We have to grant her such a small request.

And so, the familiar scene played out once again in the store.

"Huh! Golden Hook Fishing!"

"Hu! The Eighteen Arhats!"

"Hu! A flush!"

"Hu! Long Qi is right!"

……

Gan Yu was always the first to win. Xia Zhi, "looking" at Gan Yu's slightly excited face, silently chose her.

"Successfully used [Steal] skill and learned the skill [Auspicious Omen] from the target."

"【Auspiciousness】: Passive, increases own luck by 10%. This bonus is the initial bonus, and the more good deeds you do, the greater the bonus."

Looking at the skill descriptions on the system panel, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Gan Yu.

With such terrible luck in the lottery, heaven knows how many good deeds she has done over the years.

It seems I should do more good deeds in the future.

"Hu! A winning hand on a quad!"

Gan Yu won again.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Zhi stood up and said, "Alright, let's call it a day. I'm going to the kitchen to cook."

Zhu Zi quickly followed, saying, "I'll go start the fire!"

Gan Yu nodded, still wanting more: "Okay."
