But she didn't like this inexplicable feeling of being out of control.
"no yet?"
Nasita withdrew her gaze from the clock, seemingly letting out a sigh of relief.
"Then... ooh~ um~"
A moment later, just like the night before, Nasita collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were glazed over.
She felt strange, pleasurable sensations spreading throughout her body.
And tonight's enjoyment far surpasses that of last night.
"What on earth is...going on?"
Chapter 238 Miss Ningguang's Path Has Widened
The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.
Shen He sat on the bed, staring blankly at the Seven Star Lamp on the table.
I waited and waited, but still didn't hear a knock on the door.
Shen He pursed his lips, took out the bottle of nail polish, and carefully applied the polish to his ten fingers.
She then got out of bed and went to the wall next to the boss's room.
He raised his hand and gently tapped the wall.
A moment later, a doorway appeared in the wall, and Xia Zhi walked over from the other side of the wall.
"Miss me?"
"Ah."
"Come to my room tonight."
"it is good."
"Let's go."
"I'll go get the Seven Star Lamp."
"There's no need for these ritual implements; I can take you directly into the dream world now."
"Oh."
Shen He passed through the passage in the wall and arrived at the boss's room.
She walked to the bedside and saw a piece of clothing on the bed.
"Boss, what are these?"
"This is a new dress for you, called 'Light Mist Silk,' which is said to be woven from mist."
"nice."
“I originally planned to give this to Grandma Ping as a birthday present, but then I thought that she is not young anymore and probably wouldn’t like it.”
"……Um."
"Want to try it on?"
"it is good."
Shen He's figure makes him look absolutely stunning in it.
Then there is no more then.
If I had to say something, it would be that the quality of the [Light Mist and Smoke Silk] is really good; it won't break even if you pull it hard.
The next morning.
Shen He had just woken up, and he was already bothering people again.
So Xia Zhi carefully examined the quality of the [Light Mist and Smoke Silk] she was wearing.
The final conclusion is that this item has a hidden effect; it can actually increase his critical hit rate and attack speed.
After resting for a while, I got up.
Xia Zhi took the jade comb and slowly combed Shen He's hair, then tied it up with a hairband.
Shen He shook his single ponytail, looking quite lively and cute.
She took out the bottle of nail polish and looked at him with a blink.
Even cuter.
Xia Zhi took the bottle, held her fingers, and slowly painted her nails.
There was no way around it; the nail polish she painstakingly applied yesterday smelled so good that she ate it all, so she had to reapply it today.
Xia Zhi changed to a shade of blue.
It has a slightly seductive feel to it.
Let's try it again tonight.
The two changed their clothes and went downstairs to wash up.
Xia Zhi saw the Great Compassion Tree King squatting in the corner of the kitchen, looking at the [Dragon Turning Pot] with great interest.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm researching why this jar can significantly shorten the production time."
"Have you figured it out?"
"I found its material to be very special, as if it contained some kind of strange power, which should be the reason."
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"I also have a kitchen knife that can restore the freshness of ingredients. Would you like to take a look at it too?"
"show me."
"Look, that's the one."
The Great Tree King then took the kitchen knife and started cutting things on the cutting board with great interest.
She's short now, so she has to work hard to stand on her tiptoes.
For some reason, it feels kind of cute.
In the morning, Young Master Xingqiu came to the shop looking for Xia Zhi.
"Mr. Xia, my brother and I have discussed it carefully and have come up with a complete set of competition rules. Do you have time now? Let's discuss it together?"
"it is good."
"Our current idea is to hold preliminary rounds in four areas of Liyue: Jade Peak, Scarlet Cloud Slope, Tiger Rock, and Port Area. Anyone can go to these four areas to register for the competition, but can only register once. The champion of each area will participate in the final competition in the large square in front of the Rock Temple, which is also the venue for the Chef King Competition, to compete for the title of Liyue Chess King."
"The idea is good, but have the prizes for the competition been set?"
"money."
"money?"
"Yes, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is prepared to offer a huge prize of ten million as the prize for the Chess King."
“Ten million... Compared to a cooking competition where you only gain fame, this is indeed more attractive... But I have a better idea.”
"Oh?"
"How about we turn this ten million yuan prize money into chips and divide it equally among the four competition areas? Each participant can earn a share of chips for every hand they win..."
Xingqiu's eyes lit up: "In this way, the final chess champion can take all the prize money!"
"Another rule will be added: after winning a hand, a participant may consider giving up their right to continue the game and instead cash out their chips. These cashed-out chips will then be returned to the total prize pool."
Xingqiu seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
"If Young Master Xingqiu is worried about exceeding the prize money limit, he can advertise the original ten million prize money as five million, and that way..."
"No, it's just a mere ten million Mora, I didn't take it to heart... I just think Mr. Xia's move is brilliant. With this new rule, this Chess King competition is likely to set off a nationwide craze in Liyue. This is a great thing for the reputation of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild, and a person who lacks courage is indeed not qualified to become the Chess King."
"right."
“This is Liyue, a place where you can make a fortune with no investment. Everyone is willing to take a gamble… Brother was worried about publicity, but now with Mr. Xia’s solution, there’s no need for special promotion. People will spread the word on their own. What Brother should be worried about is that the competition venue is too small.”
Xingqiu stood up.
"I'll go back and inform my elder brother about this, so we can prepare for the upcoming competition. Mr. Xia, farewell."
"Oh, by the way, Young Master Xingqiu, my shop has been expanded, and I'll need more reeds in the future..."
