She saw Mr. Xia dismantling fireworks and hadn't even had a chance to read the fortune slip before she rushed over to stop him.
As a result, the signature was accidentally dropped, but fortunately Mr. Xia found it and returned it to him.
Xiaogong took the fortune slip in his hand and read it carefully.
"Huh? It looks like a very auspicious fortune? Does this mean I'm going to have good luck today?"
Xiao Gong was quite pleased. Looking back, he realized that he had just drawn this auspicious fortune slip and immediately had further contact with Mr. Xia, and even learned a lot about fireworks from him. It was indeed very accurate!
"Thank you, Lord Narukami!"
Xiaogong clasped his hands together, held the divination slip in front of him, closed his eyes, and earnestly prayed.
After she finished reciting, she felt that she hadn't been devout enough.
So she ran back into the temple and put a few Mora into the offering box. Only when she heard the crisp sound of the Mora falling did Xiaogong nod in relief.
Lord Narukami will surely protect me now!

Xia Zhi went to the kitchen and saw Xiang Ling and Guo Ba cooking inside.
"Master! Are we making the 'Divine Jump Over the Wall' again today?"
"Woo?"
Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "Let's not do it today."
"it is good!"
"Woo..."
Xiangling had no objection to this, but Guoba seemed somewhat disappointed after hearing the news.
Xiangling gently tapped its head and said with a smile, "Guoba, don't be so greedy!"
Guoba covered his head and cried pitifully, "Waaah!"
Xia Zhi smiled, thinking about her encounter with Xiao Gong, and said, "The manager of that fireworks shop came to the shrine to deliver goods today."
Xiangling nodded: "Oh! Master is talking about that girl who loves to laugh, right!"
"Yes, I chatted with her for a while, and I felt that her personality was quite similar to yours, very enthusiastic and outgoing."
"Right, I also think she would be a very easy person to get along with."
"I'll invite her to lunch with us. You can go and chat with her then. I think you two will become very good friends."
"Okay Master!"
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he had just cooked two dishes when Ying walked in from outside the kitchen.
"Cousin."
"You are back."
"Well, that..."
"bring it on."
Xia Zhi put down the ladle in her hand.
He knew Ying would be very anxious to solve the cooking problem.
Once inside the room, Xia Zhi took out a multi-purpose syringe, had Ying extend her hand, and then performed an "extraction" on her.
Ying quietly and obediently did as she was told.
A moment later, he extracted the skill "Kitchen Novice," and the syringe contained a somewhat blackish "liquid."
Seeing him pull out the syringe, Ying asked, "Is it done?"
"It's all done now. You can go to the kitchen and try cooking again."
"it is good!"
Ying left the room somewhat impatiently.
Xia Zhi took out the [Multi-Purpose Bottle] and filled it with the "liquid" from the syringe.
Inside the bottle was another extracted skill, "The World's Outcast." The two different colored "liquids" were not mixed, but were clearly separated into two layers.
Does this mean that even if they are transformed into the same form, different skills will still be mutually exclusive?
Xia Zhi shook the bottle in her hand, but the contents still did not mix.
I was originally looking forward to seeing if any strange skill combinations would occur, but it seems that it will most likely require items with the [fusion] property to achieve this.
Xia Zhi took out his phone and sent another message to Wendy.
A moment later, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door.
Wendy appeared in the doorway, greeting him with a smile: "Hey, my dear friend!"
Xia Zhi nodded: "Come over here quickly."
Wendy looked at the syringe in his hand with some curiosity.
"this one?"
"Yes, this is it."
A moment later, Xia Zhi extracted some more greenish "liquid" from Wendy's body.
Wendy carefully examined herself but found nothing that her body was lacking.
"Interesting... So I'm not afraid of cats anymore?"
"They shouldn't be afraid anymore."
"Then I'll go ask Diona for two bottles of wine to try. Thanks, my dear friend!"
"You're welcome."
Another gust of wind blew by.
Wendy disappeared.
Xia Zhi poured the "greenish liquid" from the syringe into the [Multipurpose Bottle], and it did not mix with the other liquids.
Although these skills seem useless, let's keep them for now.
If you really don't want it anymore, you can just throw it to the [Copy Box] to devour.

Castle tower.
Xia Zhen was handling government affairs in his room when he suddenly received a report from below.
"General, the Palace Attendant requests an audience."
"Let her come."
"Yes!"
Xia Zhen looked thoughtful.
She knew that Yae no Miko had gone to investigate Yurakusai's studio that morning.
She must have discovered something by coming to find me now, right?
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Zhen put down the documents in her hand and looked towards the door: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Yae no Miko walked in from outside, followed by Hana Sanri.
"What an adult."
"How is the result?"
“We found the studio, and judging from some of the works left inside, they are indeed genuine works by Le Zhai.”
"Is it only filled with artworks?"
"We also found this landscape painting."
Yae no Miko took out an ancient painting and slowly unfurled it.
Xia Zhen examined the painting and sensed a sinister atmosphere emanating from it.
It was similar to the foul aura I felt on Hana Sanri when I first met her, but not as strong.
As the painting was fully unfurled, a strange aura emanated from it, coalescing in the air into a blurry human figure that emitted a trembling, joyful sound:
"Lord Baal, it really is you..."
Xia Zhen looked at the familiar figure in front of her, her eyes filled with complicated emotions: "You Lezhai, your situation isn't good..."
"Lord Baal, there's no need to worry. To see you again is enough for me to die without regrets. As long as you are here, Inazuma will never decline..."
Xia Zhen waved his hand: "Don't say such things. My era has long passed. I have no intention of ruling again. Right now, I'm just helping Ying clean up her mess."
"Lord Baal..."
Perhaps due to some excitement, the figures in the air became even more blurred, as if they were about to disappear.
