I'm a male god in Liyue

"Oh?"

“Ah Ping came to see me this afternoon and brought me the Emperor’s words. He told me to stop researching that dangerous mechanism and to come to your school as a teacher once I have recovered my cultivation level.”

"While there's some truth to that, what are your own thoughts?"

"I……"

"Still don't want to give up?"

After a moment of silence, True Lord Liuyun nodded.

"Yes, I have been researching it for thousands of years, and now I have finally made some progress. I am really unwilling to give up now."

"That's it."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then said to her.

"Since that's been your goal all along, then keep working towards it."

"what!?"

"Don't worry about Vice Principal Zhong Li, I can persuade him for you."

"This……"

"As for Grandma Ping, she's just worried about your safety. The solution is simple: next time you need an experimental device, just call me. With me watching over you, I should be able to keep you safe."

"you……"

"how?"

"I... thank you for your advice, but I can't continue my research right now. I need to focus on my cultivation and transform back into human form."

"That's true. You're rebuilding your cultivation level; it shouldn't take long, right?"

"Yes, it won't be long."

"What about it?"

"It should take about a few years."

"A few years."

It's still quite a long time.

Xia Zhi opened the [Shop] and found an extraordinary item there.

【Transformation Pill】

Quality: Gold.

Type: Consumable.

Characteristic: Transformation.

Effect: After consumption, the monster species can directly enter the transformation stage.

Hidden effect: There will be no discomfort during the transformation process.

Price: 500 points.

Xia Zhi decided to buy it, and a small bottle appeared in his hand.

"for you."

"what?"

"Inside is a pill that can help you transform into human form. After you take it, you can transform directly, saving you several years of arduous cultivation."

"There's such a medicine?!"

"Of course I have some, please accept it."

"This……"

"It's not as precious as you think. I can make it anytime I want."

"...Thank you."

Liu Yun Zhenjun put the bottle away and said something seriously.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to thank me. After all, we're already family."

Liu Yun Zhenjun was taken aback upon hearing this.

Because of Shen He, she and he could indeed be considered family.

"Yes."

Liu Yun Zhenjun lowered his head, his tone becoming somewhat complicated.

"Sigh, I hope you'll treat my apprentice better in the future."

"Of course, I will treat them well."

"That's good... Wait! Something's not right."

Liu Yun Zhenjun suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Zhi.

"What's wrong?"

"Why were you talking about 'them' just now?"

"Yes, aren't they both your apprentices?"

"I'm talking about Shen He, not Gan Yu."

"Gan Yu is the same."

"The same?"

A hint of confusion involuntarily appeared in Liu Yun Zhenjun's crystal-clear eyes.

"What's the same?"

"Just like Shen He, don't you know?"

"Huh? I don't know!"

"Didn't Gan Yu tell you?"

"no!"

"Shen He didn't tell you either?"

"no!"

Xia Zhi chuckled and said, "Alright, now you know."

"..."

Liu Yun Zhenjun still found it hard to believe.

No, it's only been six months!

Shen He could understand it herself. She had always lived in the mountains and had little contact with outsiders. She was pure of heart and severely lacked love. When she met someone who was genuinely good to her, she easily fell for him.

But Gan Yu is different. She watched Liyue City being built and has been working in the system all her life. She has met countless people and has a wealth of life experience. How could she fall for her so quickly?

Was she forced?

A ridiculous thought popped into Liuyun Zhenjun's mind, but she immediately dismissed it.

After all, the Emperor is in Liyue City. If Gan Yu encounters any problems, he certainly won't sit idly by.

Moreover, Gan Yu possesses the bloodline of the benevolent beast Qilin. During the Demon God War, even though she was eaten by a demon, she managed to choke him to death. With such an innately lucky destiny, even if Xia Zhi is at the demon god level, it would be difficult for him to do anything bad to her; otherwise…

"Does the True Lord not believe what I say?"

"I believe you. You don't need to lie to me about something like this. I just feel that Gan Yu's actions were a bit sudden..."

"Gan Yu's breakthrough was indeed a bit sudden, mainly because she broke through to become a true immortal, which stimulated her bloodline and put her into a special period..."

Xia Zhi gave a brief explanation.

Although this matter was kept secret, as Gan Yu's master, Little Crane certainly had the right to know.

"I see, that explains it..."

Liu Yun Zhenjun muttered to himself.

"That child of hers, really..."

Looking at her like this, Xia Zhi really felt that she was a mother-in-law who was worried about her daughter's marriage.

"Alright, that's enough said. Let's go back."

"Ah."

The man and the crane left the pavilion in the middle of the lake and walked back along the path.

Xia Zhi looked at the little female crane beside him from God's perspective and chose her.

"Use [Learn from Others] on the target?"

"Yes."

"Successfully used [Stealing Skills] and learned the skill [Mastery of Mechanisms] from the target."
