Are you angry?
"I...no, I'm happy to know that the Emperor is alright."
"is it?"
"Hmm... how did you end up like this?"
"Is this what you're talking about?"
The Great Tree King tilted its head, its form shifted, and it returned to the wise and gentle elder sister.
Gan Yu looked at the familiar figure before her, her eyes momentarily dazed.
"I'm in a dream right now, so I'm shrinking down to play with Shen He. She likes to shrink."
"Um... Junior Sister Shen He is ignorant and doesn't know your identity. Please don't take offense at her..."
"what?"
The Great Tree King looked at her with a strange expression.
"She knows who I am."
"what?"
"She knew about it when I first came to the store."
"..."
Gan Yu fell silent again.
"Hey, you two have such a good relationship, didn't she secretly tell you?"
"..."
This camaraderie among fellow disciples is also superficial.
No, no, the other party is a god! It's perfectly normal that my junior sister wouldn't dare to reveal her identity so easily...
Gan Yu shook her head, and the bell hanging around her neck jingled.
"How did you suddenly appear in Liyue?"
"Come and play!"
"How did you come to be Mr. Xia's cousin?"
"Oh, that's a secret."
"what?"
"Even Morax doesn't know this. Gan Yu, if you really want to know, you can ask your cousin. He might tell you."
"..."
Looking at the goddess of wisdom before him, he called out the word "cousin" in an incredibly natural tone.
Gan Yu's heart trembled slightly.
She was not a dull person; on the contrary, she was smarter than most people. Otherwise, she could not have become the chief secretary of the Seven Stars and had remained in that position for thousands of years.
Even gods have their own pride.
Even the gentle Grass God is like this.
For Mr. Xia to be able to stay by her side so willingly and call her "cousin," he must be no ordinary person.
Most likely, he is also a god.
That explains why Mr. Xia seems to know everything and can always produce rare items!
Gan Yu's heart skipped a beat again.
So, I've been having a noble deity give me a full-body massage all this time?
Help!
Is this... considered disrespectful to the gods?
It shouldn’t count, right?
I paid for each time, even though it was just a friendly price. But since Mr. Xia has clearly stated the price, this should only be considered a transaction.
Gan Yu had previously thought that her junior sister Shen He was dating Mr. Xia, but now that she knew that Mr. Xia was likely a deity, she was no longer so sure.
Between gods and mortals...
My junior sister has never admitted it to me. Could it be that I've misunderstood something?
No, no, the other party is a god, it's normal that my junior sister wouldn't dare to reveal his identity casually...
Gan Yu shook her head, and the bell hanging around her neck rang again.
The Great Compassion Tree King glanced at her bell and laughed, "Why are you always shaking your head?"
"No, it's nothing."
"You've been wearing this bell for so many years."
"Yes, it works very well."
"It might be even better in the future."
"what?"
"It's nothing. Alright, let's go. We can catch up on the way. We should go gather materials now."
"Oh!"
"Don't be so nervous. The current Grass God is Little Lucky Grass King, not me. Like Morax, I'm retired. Just treat me like Xia Ci."
"Oh……"
The Seven Archons used to gather in Liyue frequently. The Great Tree King and the immortals had interacted several times, and he was an old acquaintance of Gan Yu.
Under the deliberate guidance of the Great Tree King's high emotional intelligence, and with her reverting to her adorable little girl form, Gan Yu quickly relaxed.
The two started chatting about some lighthearted everyday topics.
"that……"
"what happened?"
"I accidentally beat you in today's mahjong match..."
"Don't use 'you' (formal), it makes me sound too old. Just say 'you' (formal)."
"okay."
"You won, so you won. You were just too lucky. There's nothing we can do about it."
"Yes."
"I beat Morax anyway, that's enough."
"Ah."
"You've been doing this secretary job for so many years, are you planning to keep doing it forever?"
"should be."
"You look so tired."
"Seven Stars is undergoing reforms and is preparing to form a secretariat to share most of the trivial matters with me. I am the chief secretary, responsible for reviewing and approving some important policy issues. However, because the position of the secretariat is quite sensitive, Seven Stars is very careful in selecting people, ensuring both their ability and character. Therefore, it is still in the process of being formed."
"It should have been reformed like this a long time ago. Judging from the current situation, once it's all set up, you should be able to relax a lot."
"Yes, then I can get off work regular hours like you, um, at your shop."
"Does it have weekends off?"
"A two-day weekend is probably not possible."
"Right? Then you can come to the store for a meal every day after get off work."
"Ah."
"I'll give you a secret suggestion: your cousin's essential oil massage is really good. You should come for it a few more times."
"Huh? Oh! Okay!"
"Actually, I would suggest that you quit your job as a secretary and come to the store to work as a waitress, just like your junior colleague."
"Um...this..."
"Judging from your expression, you definitely won't agree."
"Feel sorry……"
"I just feel a little sorry for you."
"pity?"
"Morax is too stingy. Look at your junior sister. She has avoided thousands of years of detours compared to you."
"..."
Gan Yu pursed her lips, her expression looking somewhat innocent and aggrieved.
