I am a male god in Liyue

"Big brother needs to make money. Only when he has money can he buy you new games."

"Then I won't play new games!"

"Cartoon discs also cost money."

"Then I won't watch new cartoons!"

"..."

Xia Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his fingers and pinched her soft little face.

"I don't want games or cartoons, so what do you want?"

"I want my big brother to accompany me!"

"Big brother has something to do..."

"Big brother, you can take me with you!"

"Let's go together..."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Anyway, he was flying around in various dreams, searching for extraordinary materials. The little girl wasn't heavy at all, so there was no problem in taking her with him.

Traveling in the dreamland is too lonely, so it is a good thing to have one more person to accompany him.

Xia Zhi looked at the look of expectation in her eyes, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then I'll take you with me. Let me tell you first, it might be boring."

"Only one is bored!"

"Being alone is boring...that's right, let's go."

Xia Zhi took little Shen He out of the meditation space, unfolded the huge pair of light wings, held her and flew upwards, and soon left her original dream bubble.

In front of him is a spectacular and beautiful world, with countless dream bubbles floating in the void.

Little Shenhe looked at them, his eyes bright: "So beautiful!"

Xia Zhi smiled, randomly selected a dream bubble, and flew in with her in his arms.

Inside this dream is a lush forest.

"Brother, what are we going to do?"

"Treasure hunt."

"Treasure hunt?"

"Well, take this compass and see where the needle on it points. Then show me the way and I will take you flying."

"Okay! It's over there!"

"Yeah, hold on to me."

A burst of happy laughter fell from the sky.

Tonight's trip to the dreamland was particularly joyful.

Chapter 196: Why serve the country and the people?

Dreams are always weird and strange.

There are towering mountains, raging waves, harvest fields, and dense jungles...

There are houses made of sweets and pastries, and a sea of ​​dandelions and roses...

Those dreams that Shen He had lost during more than ten years of hard training have now been found again.

She nestled in Xia Zhi's arms, taking in the various scenery passing by beneath her, feeling as if her empty heart was being filled with something.

"Shen He."

"Big brother?"

"You know what's the best way to solve a nightmare?"

"do not know……"

"It's not about forgetting, it's about replacing it with new dreams."

Little Shenhe was stunned, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Ok!"

--

Early the next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from his dream.

He sat on the bedside, opened the inventory and looked at the harvest inside. Recalling his experience last night, he couldn't help but smile.

With the company of little Shenhe, his originally monotonous collection became more interesting.

Xia Zhi recycled those gains into points, closed the inventory, turned to look at the wall adjacent to Shen He's room, and the expression on his face became a little weird again.

He once purchased a copy of [Basic Knowledge of Dreams] in the [Mall].

It was written in that book that it is difficult for ordinary people to escape from their dreams when they dream.

Once they realize they are dreaming, their dreams become unstable and dissipate, and they wake up from their dreams.

But that was not the case with Shen He last night.

She followed Xia Zhi and left her own dream, naturally accepting the existence of the dream world without anything happening to herself.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but wonder if Shen He, like him, had taken the initiative to dream with his own conscious consciousness in some way.

In this way, it can be explained that he did not see the wild monster every time he saw Shen He. The wild monster should have been there, but Shen He had taken care of it in advance.

So... the little Shen He last night was actually doing the micro-managing by herself?

A big brother calls out so sweetly...

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that it was better to pretend not to know.

Get up, change clothes, refine subsistence allowance, open the door and go out.

Just like yesterday morning, he once again met Shen He who was just going out.

Shen He looked at him and greeted softly: "Boss, good morning."

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "Shen He, morning."

The two of them went downstairs together, and they made a tacit agreement not to mention the dream last night.

After breakfast and sitting for a while, everyone took the gifts they prepared and headed to Yujing Terrace.

Miss Akabane stayed to look after the store and asked everyone to help bring a blessing.

On the way, everyone met Bai Shi. She had breakfast in her hand, which seemed to be bought for Ning Guang.

After saying hello, everyone separated from her and went to Grandma Ping's house.

This was Xia Zhi's first time here. Grandma Ping's home was not very big, far inferior to the high-rise houses where wealthy businessmen lived in Yujingtai, but the layout and appearance of the house in front of him made him feel very comfortable.

For a master connoisseur like him to be able to find no faults, this is already inferior to those big houses where rich people live.

Grandma Ping stood at the door and greeted everyone with a smile. Yaoyao moved the chair and handed the tea cup very wisely.

Master Li Shui and Master Xieyue were also sitting in the room drinking tea at this time. Mr. Zhongli hadn't come yet, and neither had Miss Gan Yu.

Xia Zhi handed over the small box in his hand. Inside was a silver-level tea he bought from the [mall], which had a special effect of clearing the mind and regulating the body.

"With a little care, I wish Grandma Ping a happy birthday."

"Mr. Xia, you're welcome. I wish you guys could come."

Others also gave gifts they had prepared.

Grandma Ping smiled and thanked them one by one, accepted them, and then introduced the two true monarchs to everyone.

"I have seen the True Monarch who regulates water and builds mountains, and I have seen the True Monarch who cuts the moon and builds the sun."

"There is no need to be polite. Today's Liyue is a Liyue ruled by people. Everyone can just treat us as ordinary people."

The two true monarchs have gentle personalities and are easy to get along with.

Xia Zhi chatted with them for a few words and asked in a casual tone.

"Grandma Ping, I wonder how today's lunch is arranged?"

"I booked a table at Wanmin Hall."

"Wanmin Hall."

"In previous years, Xiangling actually came over to do the cooking, but this year she went out to travel."

“It’s definitely a better atmosphere at home.”

"Yes."

"Grandma Ping, we have a lot of people today, and there are no private rooms in Wanmin Hall. It's noisy for guests to eat in, so I'm afraid it won't be good."

"What does Mr. Xia mean?"

"Why don't you eat at home? I'll cook instead of Xiang Ling."

"Mr. Xia is a guest, so there is no reason to let the guests cook."

"Grandma Ping, you guys have been guarding Liyue for many years. I just hope I can take this opportunity to express my respect."

"This……"

Grandma Ping was a little hesitant.

Lord Lishui coughed and said, "Ah Ping, I think what Mr. Xia said makes sense. Eating at home is indeed quieter and more casual than eating at Wanmin Hall."

Zhen Yue Zhenjun also said: "Mr. Zhongli said yesterday that Mandrill will also come. He doesn't like the crowd, so it's better to be at home."

Grandma Ping was a little surprised: "Is Mandrill coming this year too?"

Zhenyue Zhenjun nodded: "Yes."

If the mandrill is coming, then the environment at home will indeed be better.

Grandma Ping looked at Xia Zhi, a little embarrassed: "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Xia to cook at noon."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I cook every day in the store anyway. Zhuzi, you go to the market and buy more vegetables."

Several girls agreed: "Okay!"

Grandma Ping took out a wallet and gave it to Shen He: "I have troubled you so much, but I can't let you spend any more money."

Shen He accepted it: "I understand, grandma."

The girls went out together, and when they passed by Yuehai Pavilion, they saw Baishi holding a stack of documents.

Baishi asked curiously and found out that they were going to the market to buy vegetables.

She returned to Ningguang's office holding the file and saw the breakfast on the table that Master Ningguang had not yet touched.

"Master Ningguang, Grandma Ping has her birthday today."

"Well, I have already selected the gift. You can deliver it to me later."

"Okay, I saw Mr. Xia and the others on the road before."

"They should also be going to Grandma Ping's house."

"Then I saw Miss Zhuzi and the others going out to buy groceries, saying that Mr. Xia was cooking for lunch today..."

Ning Guang was stunned for a moment, then stopped writing in his hand and raised his head from the desk with a solemn look on his face.

"Knowledge."

"Lord Ningguang, what are your orders?"

"I just thought about it carefully. In the last Osel incident, there was some unpleasantness between Qixing and Immortal. Grandma Ping's birthday this time is an excellent opportunity to ease the relationship between the two parties."

"What Lord Ningguang said is absolutely true!"

"So, I'd better go there in person at noon today."

"what?"

"Go and get my best dress."
