I'm a male god in Liyue

"Ah."

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

"Okay, I'll go back after I finish mopping the hallway!"

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard work!"

Noelle took the empty plate to the kitchen.

Qin then walked towards the West Wind Library next door.

She pushed open the door and, by the dim light of the fluorescent lamp on the wall, could see the bookshelves densely packed with books.

This is the largest library in Teyvat's northern continent. Except for the books in the "Forbidden Books" section, all the books in the collection are freely available for public viewing.

Qin had heard Lisa mention a great fire that had occurred here. The fire destroyed the vast majority of the library's collection, and the library is now only one-sixth the size it was before the fire, but it remains the largest library on the Teyvat continent.

In the basement of the West Wind Library, there is a pair of sturdy poplar wood doors. It is said that the wooden doors stood there long before the library was built, and they were not blackened even in the fire. Behind those doors is the so-called "forbidden book area".

Although Qin was the acting leader, she didn't know what the books inside contained. Perhaps only the current librarian, Lisa, knew what profound secrets they held...

Qin walked toward a brighter corner and, sure enough, saw Lisa curled up on a bench in a very awkward position, reading a book.

Hearing footsteps, Lisa looked up and smiled at her, "It's Qin. I thought it was Noelle again. You didn't stay up late tonight?"

Qin sat down next to her, touched her slightly full stomach, and sighed, "I was just working overtime."

Lisa glanced at her slightly swollen belly and smiled, "How many months pregnant are you?"

"What do you mean several months? I just ate a plate of Fisherman's Toast and I'm feeling too full. I heard from Noelle that you're still reading in the library, so I came over to sit with you for a while."

"so good?"

"Of course, there are other things I want to tell you as well."

"Oh?"

"Some guests came from Liyue yesterday; their identities are rather special..."

Qin briefly introduced the identities of Xia Zhi, Gan Yu, and others.

"They say they want to build the best school in Teyvat, and they want to borrow some books from our Westwind Library. But it's not just a simple borrowing; they'll also exchange books that our library doesn't have..."

Lisa chuckled, "Oh, that's interesting..."

"what do you say?"

"I certainly agree to this win-win situation that can enrich both museums' collections and deepen relations between the two countries."

"Then I will give Mr. Xia my reply tomorrow."

As Qin spoke, the image of Mr. Xia upon learning the news flashed through her mind, and a smile appeared on her face that she herself did not realize.

Lisa glanced at her and felt that things were getting more interesting.

Qin then asked, "By the way, where have you been these past two days? Otherwise, I could have just asked you to resolve this matter yesterday."

Lisa replied casually, "I went to the wilderness to collect some materials and brewed another batch of potions."

Qin smiled knowingly: "I see."

Lisa's duties were twofold: first, to organize the vast collection of books in the library, and second, to ensure the supply of potions to the Knights.

As a top student whom the scholar of the Sumeru Order called "once every two hundred years," Lisa's erudition needs no further explanation. Whether it's the forbidden knowledge of wild demons, the processing methods of elemental flower potions, or the brewing method that reduces the distillation process by using only two layers of porcelain bowls... Lisa can explain the principles in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Moreover, the alchemical potions she created were of great help to the Knights of Favonius when the dragon plague occurred in Mondstadt last year.

Now that there's a new batch of potions, the Knights' ability to handle emergencies during the upcoming festival will become even stronger.

This is a good thing.

Qin chatted with Lisa for a while, then felt her stomach wasn't so full anymore, and stood up: "I'm leaving."

"Go back to the office and keep working overtime all night?"

"I won't stay up late tonight, since everything is already done. I stayed up late yesterday and haven't showered yet, so I feel a bit uncomfortable. I need to go back and take a shower right away... You shouldn't stay up late reading either; staying up late is really uncomfortable, and you might even faint."

"Ah."

Qin's footsteps faded into the distance.

Lisa lowered her head, her fingertips lightly tracing the pages of the book, her expression becoming somewhat strange.

Qin stayed up all night yesterday and has been busy all day today. Although she just said that staying up all night was uncomfortable, she looks radiant and doesn't seem like someone who is extremely tired at all.

So, what exactly happened to Jean while I was away? Could it be related to those Liyue people?

--

West Wind Church.

Inside the room, Shen He and Gan Yu were talking.

"Senior sister, want to come together tonight?"

"No, I think so..."

"Is it the same as last night? Shall I go next door?"

"Um……"

"Don't you think this is too much trouble, senior sister?"

"but……"

"Senior sister, you are already an immortal, so you should be free from all taboos and don't need to care about so much."

"But……"

"With the silencing beads, they can't hear anything."

"..."

Gan Yu's face turned red. She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said softly.

"Then... let's do it together tonight."

When Xia Zhi arrived, she saw Shen He and Gan Yu sitting on the bed painting each other's toenails. The scene was quite heartwarming and interesting.

Then there is no more then.

If I had to put it into words, it was double the happiness.

The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up feeling as energetic as the day before, though her shoulders were a little heavy. Shen He and Gan Yu, who were fast asleep, were resting on her left and right sides respectively; the two of them had been exhausted the night before.

There's nothing we can do about it. With Xia Zhi's current attribute values, even disregarding other factors, the 100 points of stamina alone are enough for him to easily handle both Shen He and Gan Yu before they become gods.

Xia Zhi watched them quietly from God's perspective. Waking up in the morning to see the person you like right beside you was indeed a wonderful thing.

After a while, Shen He and Gan Yu woke up one after the other. They looked at each other and suddenly smiled.

"Senior sister, you see, it's really nothing, right?"

"Yes, it's nothing."

Xia Zhi asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Nothing?"

Shen He never hid anything from him; he would tell him everything.

She leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

Shen He looked at him and asked, "So, do you like it this way?"

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Of course I still like it."

Shen He said seriously, "Then it's necessary."

What she said was really a bit unfair.

Then, it was time for another enjoyable morning exercise.

After Xia Zhi massaged them and cast a healing spell, they were still a bit lazy and didn't want to get up, saying they wanted to lie down for a while longer.

So Xia Zhi changed her clothes, left the room alone, and went out for a stroll.

Because Xia Zhi used time acceleration during their morning exercise, the time in reality is still about the same as when they just woke up, which is very early.

Xia Zhi arrived at the West Wind Church, but there were still not many believers coming to the church to pray; only some nuns were doing their morning prayers.

Xia Zhi quietly walked through the church and came to the large square outside.

A gentle breeze carried a soft and melodious piano tune, captivating the people in the square.

Xia Zhi stood there listening for a while, then walked towards the direction from which the music came, and finally he arrived at the feet of the stone sculpture girl.

The music was coming from above the statue.

Because the statue was too tall, Xia Zhi couldn't see it from his God's-eye view.

He took out a mirror and looked at himself, and saw a familiar green figure in the mirror.

It's Wendy.

Xiangling was right; this guy really does like to come up to this statue and play the piano.

Xia Zhi opened the skill panel and looked at the skills he had secretly learned from Wendy when they drank together at the [Qingfeng Tavern] the day before yesterday. He found a special skill among them:
