Chapter 260

"Jealous?"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was stunned for a moment, and then she glanced at Xia Zhi.

"Why would you think that?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

"Oh, that's good."

"So, you're not jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous?"

"Girls in love like to be jealous. He's praising other women like this, you should be jealous."

"Have you ever been in love?"

"No."

"Oh, then you don't understand."

"...You're really more cute in reality."

"I'm sorry that I'm not cute enough now."

"? Tone it down! It's all Cousin's fault. He must have shown you too many strange animes, which corrupted you."

"Cousin, why are you slandering me?"

"Isn't it true?"

"Of course not."

"Give me some potato chips."

"Here you go."

"Cola."

"Here."

"It's really better to eat snacks while watching anime."

"You should tone it down too."

"Shenhe, do you want some?"

"Yes."

Just by sharing a bag of potato chips, the two girls who were just competing with each other inexplicably suddenly became harmonious, and they even discussed the anime plot they were watching together.

Heh, women.

So fickle.

The three of them finished watching the anime and played games for a while.

Xia Zhi put down the controller and said, "It's almost time to go outside."

"Mm-hmm."

Shenhe nodded and got off his lap.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata looked at the two of them, her eyes a little strange: "What are you going to do outside?"

"We're going to collect some materials."

"What materials?"

"Just Twilight Mushrooms, Nightmare Fruits, Dream Flowers, and the like."

"You need those things?"

"Well, to be precise, you need those things. Because I can use them to cultivate various special ingredients and also mix massage [Essential Oil]s."

"I see. Then I'll go with you. I'm familiar with the dream world and can help you find them."

"Alright."

Coming out of the meditation space, Xia Zhi took out the [Treasure Compass] and handed it to Shenhe, then unfolded the [Radiant Wings] from his back.

It was the first time Greater Lord Rukkhadevata had seen the pair of wings on his body. She could feel a warm power unique to the light attribute from them.

"Is this the pair of wings that the goddess who is more beautiful than me gave you?"

"Yes."

"Tsk, what's Shenhe holding?"

"A tool we use to find things."

Shenhe handed the compass to Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.

She studied it curiously for a while, but didn't figure anything out.

But she felt that this compass should be the same type of thing as the kitchen knife and the pickle jar in the kitchen.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata returned the compass to Shenhe, and then she saw Xia Zhi bend down and pick up Shenhe in his arms, flying up.

She suddenly understood why Shenhe had to become a little girl.

They knew how to have fun.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's body rose lightly and followed.

Thus, tonight's dream journey once again became a threesome ;-; . 

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was very familiar with the dream world. Along the way, she found a Gold quality herb from somewhere.

This thing was worth 100 points when recycled, which was equivalent to collecting a hundred mushrooms.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised, accepted it, and thanked her.

Sure enough, having an elder in the family was like having a treasure.

Shenhe watched Greater Lord Rukkhadevata wave her hand indifferently and quietly pursed her lips.

When it was almost time, everyone was ready to leave the dream world.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata stretched lazily, showing off a beautiful, full figure.

"Tonight's activities were quite interesting. See you tomorrow night."

"See you."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata waved her hand with a smile, and her figure disappeared.

Xia Zhi took Shenhe and then left the dream.

In the real world, it was early morning, and the dawn was breaking.

"Boss, it's morning already."

"Mm-hmm."

"It's time to teach me spear techniques."

"...Okay."

Shenhe was so diligent, there was really nothing he could do about her.

Xia Zhi carefully instructed her on spear techniques, just like he did yesterday morning.

After practicing, the two of them were drenched in sweat.

"Is that enough?"

"More."

"There should be a limit to practicing spear techniques..."

Then, there was nothing else.

If he had to say something, it was that Shenhe's eyes were misty and she kept whispering his name softly, looking quite cute.

When it was bright, Xia Zhi raised his hand and cast [Divine Healing] on Shenhe, which gave her the strength to get out of bed.

Xia Zhi combed her hair, and the two of them went downstairs to wash up.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was already sitting in the hall reading a book.

Ying'er was wiping the tables. She didn't stay up late last night, and with the nourishment of the massage [Essential Oil], her complexion looked good.

After a while, Zhu Zi and Diona came back from buying groceries, buying chicken and small fish.

Xia Zhi "looked" at the tail behind Diona, which was constantly wagging because she was looking forward to the fried fish, and couldn't help but smile.

He processed the ingredients, added seasonings and marinated them, and then asked the kitty to help refrigerate them with Cryo.

Considering that Miss Ningguang would come over to freeload, Xia Zhi also marinated some extra ingredients. After all, he was a hospitable person, and tomorrow everyone in their shop would also go to the Jade Chamber to freeload. He should treat Miss Ningguang well and get front row seats from her so that he could listen to Miss Yun Jin sing.

He hadn't been to Heyu Tea House to listen to the opera for a long time, and he missed Miss Yun Jin's voice a little.

After breakfast, he brewed a pot of good tea from Qiaoying Village as usual.

The tea leaves he bought last time were running low. He was originally going to buy some more tea leaves last night, but everyone wanted to practice playing mahjong, so he didn't go.

But if he was sparing, it would last for a few more days.

Xia Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "The two adepti didn't come to our shop for juice yesterday either. I heard from Yaoyao that they go to the tea house to play mahjong every day. Could it be that they lost all their money?"

"Is that possible? Are the adepti also short of money?"

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata didn't even raise her head, and said while reading, "It could also be that they feel guilty, so they don't dare to come."

"Guilty about what?"

"I don't know, I'm guessing."

"Oh."

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Since the two adepti like playing mahjong so much, they should also participate in this Mahjong King Tournament."

"They definitely will."

"Then this tournament is quite prestigious."

Ying'er suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that Morax passed away. Otherwise, Morax, who liked to join in the fun, would definitely come to participate."

"That's right."

"Boss, I told Mr. Zhongli yesterday, and he agreed to come to the shop on Saturday to help renovate the bathroom."

"Okay, then remember to buy more groceries on Saturday morning."

"Okay!"

The wind blowing in from outside carried a chill of autumn.

Xia Zhi took a sip of hot tea and felt warm.

In the future, with a hot spring bath, it would be much more comfortable for everyone to bathe.

He could also bathe with Shenhe when he had the chance. 

And unlock some new locations.
