I'm a male god in Liyue

Very helpful.

He looked down and saw a divine divination slip lying on the ground at his feet.

It was dropped by that girl just now.

Xia Zhi picked it up and glanced at it.

Sign on.

Girls who smile a lot are sure to have good luck.

After a while.

When Yoomiya returned from behind the shrine, the firework box in his hand was gone.

"I've already put the fireworks in the warehouse for you."

"Thank you." Xia Zhi handed her the divine divination slip. "You've lost yours."

"Ah... thank you! By the way... you seem to know a lot about fireworks?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because an ordinary person taking apart fireworks wouldn't be able to do it like you did, without damaging it at all!"

"That's true, but I only know a little bit about fireworks."

"Eh?"

It was rare to meet someone who also knew about fireworks, so Xiaogong couldn't help but start a conversation with him.

Since Xia Zhi had nothing to do in the morning, he answered every question.

Although his [Fireworks Mastery] comes from the Night Palace, theoretically the two of them have the same level of understanding of fireworks, he is also an alchemist and a master of mechanisms, and can come up with new ideas as soon as he thinks of them.

For example, what ingredients can be added to make fireworks more colorful or more melodious?

Xiaogong was simply breathtaking; the more I listened, the brighter my eyes became.

Finally, she bowed her head in sincere apology and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I misunderstood you before."

"fine."

Xia Zhi looked at the silver treasure chest that had appeared in his inventory and a smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 582 Lord Narukami will surely protect me (4K)

Xia Zhi didn't actually think Xiao Gong needed to apologize for what happened before.

Disassembling fireworks near a stove is really dangerous.

It's perfectly normal that Xiaogong, a professional in fireworks manufacturing, would rush over to stop it as soon as she saw it.

Moreover, she didn't blame him much; her tone was somewhat serious at the time, mainly because she was worried about his safety.

But she still apologized to him; it's hard not to like a girl with that kind of personality.

"I think you could put a sign on the outside of the fireworks that says 'Do Not Disassemble Without Authorization' in the future."

"I think it's a good idea too. I'll try it when I get back this afternoon."

Xiao Gong nodded, then looked at Xia Zhi with some curiosity.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Xia isn't a local from Inazuma, is he?"

"No, I'm from Liyue."

"Oh!" A hint of longing immediately appeared in Xiaogong's eyes. "Although I've never been to Liyue, I've heard from Beidou that it seems to be a very interesting place!"

"Beidou? Are you referring to Captain Beidou of the Southern Cross fleet?"

"Yes! Does Mr. Xia know her too?"

"I've had some dealings with that captain, so I guess you could say we know each other. Judging from how you addressed her just now, you called her 'elder sister,' so you two seem to have a good relationship?"

"Yes! Because Sister Beidou is one of our store's biggest customers."

"Oh? So some of the fireworks used in the Liyue Harbor festival were actually bought from the Naganohara fireworks shop?"

"Hehe!" Xiao Gong chuckled with a hint of smugness. "Mr. Xia, you didn't expect that, did you!"

"I really didn't expect this... After all, Inazuma had a 'national isolation order' in place a couple of years ago, which should have prohibited the private import and export of all goods. How could your store still be doing this kind of foreign business..."

"..."

Oh no! I think I accidentally let it slip!

At this moment, Xiaogong realized this as well, and his expression stiffened.

She quickly shook her head, looking slightly flustered, and said, "No, no, I was just joking with you!"

"Oh?"

"I...I met Sister Beidou in a tavern!"

"So this is ah."

Xia Zhi nodded, then smiled as if he had just realized something.

"I thought your store was involved in smuggling."

"..."

Xiao Gong felt a tightness in his chest and quickly changed the subject.

"Um...it seems like something big happened in Liyue before, right? Their god suddenly left?"

"Yes, this caused quite a commotion... but fortunately, with everyone working together, we were able to prevent a devastating disaster."

"That's good, that's good. Even with the gods gone, so many people are still able to stand up... Liyue is truly an amazing country. I can't imagine Inazuma without the general."

Xiao Gong seemed to sigh with emotion.

Xia Zhi asked calmly, "I've heard that Inazuma is the realm of [Eternity]?"

Yoomiya nodded and said, "Yes, Inazuma is very different from the outside world. Here, they pursue 'eternity,' which means calm and tranquility with very little change. This has one advantage—it's a good place to rest if you get tired."

Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought: "So this is how you view [Eternity]..."

"Mr. Xia!"

A young girl dressed as a shrine maiden with short hair and bangs ran out of the shrine, her voice slightly out of breath.

Yoomiya looked at her and recognized her as Kano Nana, a shrine maiden who loved reading light novels.

When I last came to Narukami Shrine to deliver fireworks, I even discussed the plot of a light novel with her.

Just as Xiaogong was about to greet her, he saw her respectfully bow deeply to Mr. Xia, who was very knowledgeable about fireworks, beside her.

Xiao Gong was somewhat stunned when he saw this.

Huh? Did I see that right?

That was a special ritual that shrine maidens performed when they paid homage to Lord Narukami, wasn't it?

Why would Nana give Mr. Natsu such a deep bow?

"Nai Nai," Xia Zhi said calmly. "It must have been Ah Xing who called you over, right?"

“Yes, Mr. Natsu!” Kano Nana blushed slightly. “Thank you for your help!”

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Xia Zhi waved his hand. "It's not convenient here, let's go over there."

“Okay, Mr. Xia!” Kano Nana’s expression became a little expectant and shy.

Xia Zhi turned his head and said, "Excuse me, Miss Xiaogong, I must take my leave."

Xiao Gong watched this scene from the side. Although he was a little curious, he nodded sensibly and said, "Okay, Mr. Xia, you can go ahead and do what you need to do."

Xia Zhi checked the time; it was almost noon. He then extended an invitation to her to have lunch together at the shrine's cafeteria.

Yomiya happily agreed, because she had originally planned to have lunch at the shrine anyway. Especially since she had encountered so many people on her way up the mountain who came specifically to have a meal at the shrine, she was really curious about just how delicious the food at the shrine was now.

Xia Zhi and Kano Nana arrived at the back of the shrine, which is not open to outsiders, so the environment is relatively quiet.

After finding a table and sitting down, Xia Zhi reached out and took Kano Nana's pulse.

"Mr. Xia?"

"Don't worry, it's just a minor ailment. A few doses of medicine will do the trick, just like Ah Xing did."

Xia Zhi took out paper and pen, wrote a prescription on the table, and handed it to her.

"Remember to take it according to the doctor's instructions, otherwise you will be poisoned."

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"You're welcome."

Kano Nana carefully took the prescription, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Fantastic! From now on, I'll have a dry, clean, and odorless body, regular and heavy flow without abdominal pain, and I can even have two more days each month to enjoy reading light novels!

After Xia Zhi and Kano Nana left, Xiao Gong took out the fortune slip he had just drawn that day.
