I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 792

Cole quietly withdrew his hand, gripping the branch that could break at any moment, until all the sounds above him subsided.

The roars of the wild beasts and the screams of their companions had all disappeared.

She couldn't bring herself to hate her fellow escapees. And if they were in each other's shoes, she couldn't guarantee she'd make a different choice.

At this moment, only one thought remained in Cole's mind.

Whether it's rescuing someone or calling for help—

I will never reach out to anyone again.

Memories of the past kept flashing through her mind. Cole opened her eyes and looked at the top of the treehouse.

She touched someone else's hand again during the badminton festival in Mondstadt two years ago.

The city was brightly decorated, and the streets were bustling with activity. As night fell and the atmosphere on stage reached its climax.

The fiery-red girl took her hand and led her away from the cramped wooden box, squeezing into the crowd.

People gathered around, cheering and applauding simple, childish games like ring toss and slingshots.

Cole couldn't understand it at first. No matter how well you played these little games, how much food could you hunt outside the city?

However, the girl who accompanied them threw herself into it with great enthusiasm, cheering for every victory and distributing the prizes she won to the children.

Cole didn't understand. If it wasn't for the rewards, why participate in these activities? Was there really any fun in them?

She sneaked to a corner, picked up a slingshot and tried her hand at it—and as a result, one out of more than ten shots hit the edge of the target.

"I won!" Cole turned around excitedly. "Hey! Look!"

Only then did she realize that a long time had passed since she became so engrossed in it, and the girl in red had already left.

In the days that followed, Cole became increasingly engrossed in her practice, gradually becoming familiar with the sounds of drawing the string and throwing the dart. She practiced for a long time until she rarely missed a shot out of more than ten.

Every time he drew his bow, Cole would recall the excitement of hitting his target for the first time that night.

And when that girl pulled her up and ran towards the crowd, the warmth of her palm was like the sun.

That was her first meeting with Amber.

That was also the first friend she made again after her period of wandering.

Therefore, for Cole, Amber was a different kind of friend.

Amber's personality is like a warm campfire, always attracting those around her who yearn for warmth, so she has many, many friends.

Cole might envy Amber for being like that, but she couldn't emulate Amber's personality.

She is strong and has always tried to appear cheerful, but even now, she still occasionally feels afraid of being touched by others.

Even when the Great Tree King held her hand, she would instinctively tremble.

Amber was the exception.

Mr. Xia seems to be an exception as well.

Ke Lai looked at Mr. Xia, who was giving her a thorough massage.

Perhaps because Mr. Xia cured her "Demon Scale Disease", she now feels no aversion or fear towards Mr. Xia's touch.

The area being touched was emitting a very pleasant sensation.

"So, this is what you experienced before?"

"Yes."

"Thanks a lot."

"……Um."

Xia Zhi felt some sympathy for Ke Lai's experiences.

In particular, the "experiment" mentioned involved using the remnants of a demon to contaminate living people in order to obtain the necessary data.

This behavior is truly despicable.

Xia Zhi lowered his head and quietly massaged Ke Lai for a while before suddenly asking, "[Doctor], right?"

Cole was immersed in pleasure: "Hmm?"

"The guy who used you for experiments with the remnants of the demon god is the Doctor from the Fatui, right?"

"Yes."

"I remember."

"?"

Xia Zhi said nothing more.

He had some recollection of the title "Doctor".

The "God-Making Project" that Sumeru is currently undertaking is being secretly overseen by the "Doctor".

There will be an opportunity to settle accounts with him at that time.

……

After taking a shower, Xia Zhi returned to her room.

After a while, Xia Ci came and knocked on the door, collecting cell phones from each household, saying that she wanted to take them to be modified and have some new functions added.

Xia Zhi handed her the phone.

"anything else?"

"What else?"

Xia Ci closed her eyes.

Xia Zhi gave him a thoughtful kiss.

Then I heard a click.

Xia Zhi separated from Xia Ci and noticed that a cell phone had appeared in Xia Ci's hand at some point.

Moreover, it's a new type of phone that already has a camera installed.

That click sound was the sound of a phone camera taking a picture.

"Were you taking pictures secretly just now?"

"What do you mean by secretly filming!"

What are you going to do with it?

"I think it would be great as a phone wallpaper."

"Let me see how the photos turned out."

"No."

"Check the photo's clarity,"

I'll send it to you later.

"Forget it."

Xia Ci left with a smile.

This was actually the second time he and she had ever kissed.

The last time was when Xia Zhen was resurrected, the two of them were caught red-handed in front of her.

Xia Ci didn't rush to press her advantage after that.

Xia Zhi felt this was a bit unlike her usual style.

I have no idea what she's up to.

--

Wisdom Palace.

Nasita suddenly felt a tingling, comfortable sensation on her lips.

She was a little confused.

But then she immediately thought of her older sister.

She was all too familiar with this strange, unexpected feeling of pleasure.

It happens almost every night.

The kind that covers the whole body.

I asked my sister last time, and she said she was giving a massage.

Perhaps it's because they are both incarnations of the World Tree that they share a strange sense of empathy.

When the older sister experiences a sufficiently strong stimulus, she will experience the same stimulus.

So... that was...

Naxi Da was still pondering.

The phone rang suddenly.
