After lunch, I was completely satisfied.
Another hour for tea break.
Ying'er sat in the chair, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, feeling deeply moved.
This job is so great! I'd be willing to work it every day, let alone five days a week!
Half an hour passed during their casual conversation, and then Yao Yao arrived.
The little girl was still very lively and cute, and the bells tied in her hair jingled crisply as she walked.
Xia Zhi glanced at the bell, then at Shen He, and suddenly a good idea came to her mind.
Okay, I'll try asking Shen He again tonight.
After chatting for another half hour, the shop opened for the afternoon.
The two True Lords arrived early and congratulated Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, saying that he was treating everyone today.
The two True Lords sat down with pleasure.
Treating someone is fine, it's only about 200 mora, it's the thought that counts.
Ying'er served the juice, smiling as she said, "Please enjoy."
As the two True Lords watched her turn and leave, they whispered, "The shop has a new customer again."
"It's another girl."
"She's quite pretty."
"I wonder if it's the same situation as the previous waiters."
The two True Lords exchanged a glance.
"How about you do another divination?"
"You're the one who asked me to do the calculation."
"Hurry up and calculate, we need to rush to Feiyun Teahouse later. I heard that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is going to hold a chess king competition, and the teahouse is in high demand these days."
The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun nodded, took out a few old Mora, and tossed them onto the table.
Mora scattered, revealing the hexagram.
"how?"
"As expected, it's another useless divination."
"Tsk, Mr. Xia is really something... Look over there..."
"there?"
"That's the little girl. She must be Mr. Xia's cousin that Yao Yao mentioned at home, right?"
“Xia Ci.”
"You should also consider her."
"She is his cousin."
"What's wrong with my cousin? Isn't she a waitress at the store too? Aren't you curious?"
"...Then that's settled."
The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun picked up the Mora from the table and tossed it again.
As the Mora scattered, just as he was about to examine the divination results, all the Mora suddenly split in two at the same time.
! !
? ?
The two True Lords narrowed their eyes slightly and couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Xia Ci not far away.
But then they saw the little girl turn around and give them a half-smile.
Chapter 244 I am already Mr. Xia's woman
There are many taboos in the field of divination.
One of them is: "Do not spy on God."
At the level of deities, even whispering their names will attract their attention, let alone trying to pry into their privacy through divination.
Unless you possess some kind of divine artifact or special power, or you yourself are a god...
Some time ago, a major event suddenly occurred during Liyue's annual "Invitation Ceremony"—the assassination of the Emperor. The Traveler brought this news to the Immortal Lord of the Moonlit Pavilion and other immortals. In order to confirm the Emperor's safety, the Immortal Lord of the Moonlit Pavilion cast a divination for the Emperor.
The divination result at that time was naturally a flawed one, which also meant that the emperor was not in any danger.
However, those Mora did not all split in two as they are now, because although the Emperor noticed his divination, he did not take it to heart. If He wanted to, He could have done the same thing.
Although the shop was bustling with activity and filled with the sounds of customers laughing and talking, both True Lords felt an eerie, deathly silence under Xia Ci's gaze.
Fortunately, Xia Ci didn't keep staring at the two of them. She only glanced at them twice before turning back to continue her work.
Without her gaze, the pressure on the two True Lords instantly eased.
The feeling of being pulled into a deathly silence disappeared, and they could hear the lively sounds of the shop again.
The two True Lords quickly lowered their heads, averting their gazes from hers, and felt a cold sweat break out on their backs.
Scared to death.
The two of them didn't dare to gossip any further. They quickly cleared away the broken Mora on the table, silently finished their juice and snacks. They didn't even have time to savor the delicious food today before saying goodbye to Yao Yao and Xia Zhi, getting up and leaving their seats.
As I passed by the shop, I brushed past Xia Ci, who was standing there greeting customers.
Xia Ci looked at them and said softly in a gentle voice, "Don't do that again."
The two True Lords immediately stopped in their tracks, and the chick nodded like a pecking bird, "Mmm-hmm!"
After walking quite a distance from the shop, the two True Lords finally breathed a sigh of relief. They turned around and looked at each other, only to find that each other's foreheads were covered in sweat.
"That one...did you notice that she looks somewhat like the one from Sumeru..."
"It does look somewhat like..."
At that time, the seven gods often gathered in Liyue. Although the immortals did not participate in such high-level gatherings, they had met them.
It's just that that period of time was too far away, so my memory of it is a bit blurry.
However, after being stimulated and thinking carefully, they still had some impressions. Upon comparison, they found that the little girl Xia Ci's appearance was six or seven parts similar to that of the Grass God, the Great Compassion Tree King.
"It's just like that person when they were little..."
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't know... Rumor has it that she disappeared long ago? Now Sumeru has a new god... The Emperor should have discovered her appearance long ago. If it is her, it's normal for the Emperor to allow her to stay in Liyue..."
"She is Mr. Xia's cousin..."
"You actually believe that excuse? It's all your fault for insisting on fortune-telling. My old Mora doesn't have many left..."
"No, do you think it's possible that she really is that person's daughter?"
"???"
The True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building paused for a moment.
"Let's stop talking about that person. Let's pretend nothing happened today and go play cards."
"Ah."
The two True Lords quickened their pace and walked further and further away.
As they approached the Flying Cloud Teahouse, a strange thought suddenly popped into the mind of the Moon-Cut Yang True Lord: when he was cleaning up the broken Mora on the table earlier, although they had all been split in two by some inexplicable force, he could still see the hexagrams formed by their scattered pieces.
That's a useless hexagram.
Given that person's level, he could only get a useless divination, but he had a strange feeling... he felt that her divination was somewhat similar to Ying'er's useless divination, and both were related to Mr. Xia... It's amazing that he could make that person willingly do chores. Mr. Xia is becoming more and more mysterious...
As the True Lord of Moon-Cut Yang entered the Flying Cloud Teahouse, he shook his head, dismissing all his thoughts.
Why think so much! Let's play cards!
The waiter who led the way said with a smile, "Guest, you can register today."
"Register? The Chess King Tournament?"
"Yes, you can register in all four districts of Liyue, but each person can only register once. Would you two like to register?"
"it is good."

At 5 p.m., the shop closed for business, and everyone was cleaning the shop.
Now that the store has doubled in size, hygiene has become a bit more difficult to maintain, but fortunately, there are two more staff members.
At this moment, Ms. Ningguang arrived with her secretary.
