The Great Tree King sat alone in a chair, head bowed, brows slightly furrowed, seemingly sorting through the massive amount of information he had just received from his old colleague.
Xia Zhi didn't disturb her.
Today is Friday, and Miss Gan Yu has brought fruit to the store again, along with Miss Ning Guang and Secretary Bai Shi.
"Miss Shen He, this is a thank-you gift for you."
"Ok?"
“I heard from Mr. Xia that you really like sweets, so I collected all types of sweets from Liyue. I hope you like them.”
Shen He glanced at the boss, a subtle strangeness flashing across his face, before reaching out to take the bag.
"Thank you, I really like this gift."
"That's good. There's one more gift."
Ningguang took out another document and handed it over.
"this is?"
"I saw that Mr. Xia's shop was doing very well and might need to be expanded, so I bought the shop next door as a gift to thank Ms. Shen He for the help she provided to us at Guyun Pavilion."
So you're the new owner of the house next door!
Shen He couldn't help but feel a strange sensation; now the boss's bed would be free: "Thank you, Miss Ningguang."
Xia Zhi "looked" at the property deed in Shen He's hand, thinking that his high luck was finally going to be useful.
"Mr. Xia, I'll have to trouble you again today."
"Yes, Miss Ningguang, please come in."
A moment later, a strange sound came from inside.
The Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help but raise its head and look towards the back hall.
This sound sounds so similar to the sound that came from Shen He's room next door last night...
The Great Compassion Tree King looked at the other people in the shop, and everyone had a calm and indifferent expression, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
So, this is... a massage?
Chapter 233 Asking Prince Yan to Beat the Ashes
After dinner, we all went for a walk outside.
Yao Yao and the Great Tree King held hands, like two sisters. Zhu Zi and Diona ran around watching the excitement, Shen He and Qi Qi walked quietly, and Miss Chi Yu held Miss Gan Yu's hand, reminiscing about the past with a look of nostalgia...
Xia Zhi walked in the middle, and for some reason, he felt like he was leading a family.
He still remembered the times when he and Zhu Zi would go to the port stalls at night to eat Duoduo Shao (a type of fried food).
Time really flies.
During their walk, everyone detoured to the market and bought a bunch of personal items such as blankets and pillows for the Great Charm Tree King.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and Xia Zhi bought a lot of dried goods and ingredients to soak in water so she could cook a big feast to welcome the Great Tree King.
After shopping, Qiqi and Yaoyao left together.
Back at the Summer Shop, Zhu Zi, holding the key to the shop next door, went with Miss Diona Akabane to help the Great Tree King tidy up its new room.
The warm and friendly atmosphere inside the store made Da Ci Shu Wang feel very good.
Shen He and Gan Yu went to the kitchen to boil water.
With nothing to do, Xia Zhi went upstairs to his room, walked to the windowsill, and picked up the [Essence Bottle] that was there.
There was a large drop of golden liquid inside; this was the "essence of the sun" that the bottle had absorbed throughout the afternoon.
There was also a small drop of silvery liquid. This was the new essence that the bottle had absorbed after nightfall.
Xia Zhi poured out the silver liquid and put it into his inventory to check.
[Essence of the Moon]
Quality: Special.
Type: Consumable.
Characteristics: Nourishing.
Effect: The mysterious liquid produced by the Essence Bottle absorbing moonlight can nourish all things.
Hidden effect: Increases the nourishing effect on plant life by 50%.
Xia Zhi watched and pondered.
The effects of 【Essence of the Moon】 and 【Essence of the Sun】 are basically the same, except that the hidden effect has changed from "animal creatures" to "plant creatures".
The Great Tree King happens to be the incarnation of the World Tree, belonging to the category of "plant beings," so this [Essence of the Moon] should be very useful for her since she has exhausted her power.
However, this bottle also has the ability to "mix," perfectly blending any liquid...
Xia Zhi poured out the large drop of golden liquid, dividing it into two parts: one part was about the same amount as the silver liquid, and the other part was put into a container and placed in the inventory.
Then, he collected the golden and silver liquids into the [Essence Bottle] and activated [Blending].
Driven by some strange force, the golden and silver liquids mixed together, transforming into a single drop of bright golden liquid.
[Essence of Sun and Moon]
Quality: Special.
Type: Consumable.
Characteristics: Nourishing.
Effect: A mysterious liquid created by mixing the essence bottles, capable of nourishing all things.
Hidden effect: Nourishing effect on all living beings +100%.
One plus one is indeed greater than two.
Xia Zhi looked at the drop of bright golden [Essence of Sun and Moon], his expression somewhat thoughtful.
This afternoon, he tried to absorb the [Essence of the Sun] and personally experienced how immense this nourishing power was; it could even restore his divine power.
Like him, the Great Compassion Tree King is a god, so there's definitely no problem letting her absorb it.
But Shen He's strength is not enough; she may not be able to withstand this enormous nourishing power, and neither will the others.
We need to come up with a suitable solution.
The simplest way would be to dilute it, just like with [Rainbow Puree].
However, it is somewhat different from [Rainbow Essence]. It does not need to be drunk; it only needs to touch the body to automatically integrate and nourish it.
These characteristics make it quite suitable for massage...
After pondering this, Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and bought some extraordinary materials. Using the water storage bucket he had bought before, he prepared a large bucket of fragrant and smooth essential oil.
Then, he dripped the bright golden [Essence of Sun and Moon] into it and stirred it well.
After he finished, he put his finger in and dabbed some on his hand.
The essence of the sun and moon in the essential oil seeped into his fingertips through his skin.
Xia Zhi immediately felt a comfortable, moisturizing sensation flowing through his entire body.
well.
Xia Zhi took out a few stones she had picked up from the roadside, used the "Turning Stones into Gold" technique to make several golden squeeze bottles, filled them with this moisturizing essential oil, and then took them downstairs.
A little while later, Zhu Zi and the others returned from next door, having already tidied up the room there.
The Great Tree King can finally sleep peacefully in its own bed tonight.
They took out the mahjong tiles and started shuffling them around.
The Great Tree King sat beside them, watching with great interest as they played this novel board game.
"Boss, what will happen to the shop next door? Will it just stay empty like this?"
“It’s a shame to leave it empty. We can knock down this wall and connect the two stores. That way we can accommodate more customers. Anyway, we already have quite a few employees.”
"If we need to hire someone to do the work, then our shop won't be able to operate for a while, right?"
"It's alright. We can ask someone with a Geo-type Aspect of the Eye to help. It should only take half a day to fix these two walls."
"Oh!"
"Usually you have to post the request at the Adventurers' Guild, right? Boss, this price is probably a bit expensive."
"Hey, why bother with outsiders? Isn't Mr. Zhongli the holder of the Geo-type Eye of God? We're going to cook a lot of dishes tomorrow, so we can invite him over for lunch and ask him to help out."
"Yes!"
"Miss Akabane, when you return to the Hall of Rebirth later, please remember to tell Mr. Zhongli for me."
"Okay! Boss!"
