I'm a male god in Liyue

“I haven’t seen him in a long time.”

Xia Zhen laughed and said, "The Dragon King has regained his senses now, so you can see him whenever you want."

"Yes, thank you all for your help."

"You're welcome."

Xia Zhi took out the food box he had brought and handed it over.

"I didn't bring any gifts for this visit, but I happened to have made some pastries this afternoon, so I brought some with me."

"Mr. Xia, you're too kind!"

Nagarjuna reached out and opened the food box.

A sweet fragrance of osmanthus wafted out, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.

"How did Mr. Xia know that I love osmanthus cake the most? Oh, did Liu Yun tell you?"

"Oh, yes."

Liu Yun was stunned. When did I say anything about this? How come I don't know anything about it?

"She..."

King Ruoduo smiled and shook his head, put down the food box, looked at the smooth rocky environment around him, and then a look of apology appeared on his face.

"This place is too simple to serve tea; I'm truly sorry to have been so inconsiderate."

"Tea?"

Xia Zhi smiled and took out a tea set and a teapot.

"That's perfect, I brought it with me."

Upon seeing this, Liu Yun's expression became somewhat blank.

No, this, this, isn't this tea set from my workshop?

When did you take it again?!

"Mr. Xia is truly thoughtful!"

“Oh, Dragon King, you’re mistaken. It’s not that I was being thoughtful; it was True Monarch Liuyun who reminded me.”

"Oh? Liu Yun, girl?"

"Look at this teapot. It's also a mechanism made by True Lord Liuyun. It can not only automatically heat water, but also keep it warm. It's incredibly convenient."

"Haha, I didn't expect Liu Yun to be so thoughtful now. She was very carefree and impatient when she was little, and she did quite a few things..."

"Dragon King!"

Liu Yun quickly interrupted him, her face turning slightly red.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"You silly girl, what's wrong with telling people about your funny childhood stories?"

A somewhat helpless expression appeared on the face of the Dragon King Ruoduo.

For some reason, he seemed a bit like an old father who had finally seen his child grow up.

But seeing her like this, I felt a sense of relief amidst my helplessness.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. You're actually getting shy now..."

"Dragon King!"

Xia Zhi found it amusing to see Liu Yun Zhenjun's embarrassed and annoyed expression from God's perspective.

No matter how old you are, in the eyes of your elders you will always be just a child.

He stretched out his hand, and the power of the water element gathered in the air, transforming into a clear stream that fell into the teapot.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the others.

Liu Yun was simply somewhat surprised by this.

But Xia Ci, Xia Zhen, Ruo Tuo, and the Dragon King were different; the three of them had clearly sensed the fluctuations of water-based divine power just now.

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen looked thoughtful.

King Ruoduo was quite surprised. Could this Mr. Xia be the current Water God? What about the previous Water God, Egolia? Was she no longer alive?

Xia Zhi seemed completely oblivious to the changes in the expressions of the others. After filling the teapot with water, he put the lid on.

"True Lord Liuyun".

"what?"

"I'm not very good at using this mechanism, so you can do it."

Liu Yun was startled again.

That's clearly a lie.

Because she knew his skill level in mechanical engineering, even though they only had a brief conversation for half a day, he answered every question she asked about mechanical engineering, clearly demonstrating that he was more knowledgeable in this area than she was.

If that's the case, how could he not know how to use such a simple mechanism...?

Although Liu Yun has a somewhat impatient personality, she is also very intelligent.

After a moment's thought, she seemed to understand what he meant.

She had only joined the group at the last minute tonight when they came to Fulong Tree. She didn't know what the three of them were up to beforehand, and only thought that they were entrusted by the Emperor to check on the strength of the seal.

So she didn't make any preparations before coming.

Even if she had known beforehand, she wouldn't have believed that Xia Zhi could bring the Dragon King, who had been insane for so long, back to his senses.

After all, she wasn't Shen He, and her understanding of Xia Zhi was far from deep.

So, she's in a bit of an awkward situation now.

Even an outsider like Mr. Xia brought a gift, while she, a junior whom the Dragon King had watched grow up, came empty-handed. Although the Dragon King wouldn't care about such a thing, it was still not good.

Therefore, Mr. Xia deliberately told the Dragon King that she was the one who told him about the osmanthus cake, and that he was the one who reminded him to bring the teapot and tea set, so that he would not appear to be...

Thinking of this, Liu Yun looked at Xia Zhi, feeling a little moved.

"Okay, I'll do it."

She stood up, took the teapot, and began to brew tea.

The mechanism was actually quite simple; she simply embedded a fire-elemental ore at the bottom of the kettle and used a celestial talisman to regulate the temperature output.

The principle is the same as that of an automatic rice cooker.

But to outsiders, it appears quite exquisite.

Before long, white steam rose from the spout of the kettle.

The water has boiled.

Liu Yun washed the cups, took the tea leaves Xia Ci gave him, and brewed tea for everyone.

King Ruoduo picked up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and a comfortable expression appeared on his face.

"It's been a long time since I've had a cup of tea like this."

The taste of the tea felt very familiar to him.

It was the same strong tea taste that inexplicably appeared in his mouth when he had just regained consciousness.

“This tea…”

"This tea is called Silver Thread Dew. It has the amazing effect of restoring memory. We used it to help the Dragon King regain his senses."

"I see, it's truly a wondrous object..."

"Dragon King, try my osmanthus cake."

"it is good."

The Dragon King Ruoduo gently picked up a piece of osmanthus cake.

The pastry was extremely soft, and even though he was very gentle, some crumbs still slipped out from between his fingers.

The pastry melts in your mouth the moment it enters your mouth, filling it with the delicate fragrance of osmanthus.

King Ruoduo's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"

He absolutely loves osmanthus cake.

He used to enjoy wandering the world with Morax and had eaten osmanthus cakes made by many families, but none of them had ever tasted as delicious as the one he was eating now.

The osmanthus cakes I remember are nothing compared to this.

"Mr. Xia's culinary skills are extraordinary!"

"You flatter me, Dragon King. Actually, this osmanthus cake wasn't made by me alone. True Lord Liuyun also helped."

"Oh? Liu Yun has really become sensible now."

"..."

Liu Yun blushed slightly and silently drank her tea while holding her teacup.
