An extra update for the great [I don't care, Hu Tao is my wife]'s reward!
.....................
"Feng Yi, do you like fireworks? Shall I make a super big one for you?"
Yoimiya, hands behind her back, walked slowly with Feng Yi through the streets of Hanabira-cho and suddenly asked.
"Of course, who wouldn't like fireworks? It would be even better if we could add the sign of the Pupu Tea Shop and let all of Inazuma see it!"
Feng Yi nodded, not refusing Yoimiya's kind offer.
"Then it's settled! Give me seven days, and I will make you the most brilliant and beautiful fireworks!"
Yoimiya said with a happy smile, finally feeling like she could help Feng Yi a little.
Feng Yi had been too kind to her; she didn't know how to repay him.
Yoimiya escorted Feng Yi to the end of the street. Only after Feng Yi's figure disappeared into the night did she turn and leave.
After returning to his residence, Feng Yi ate a simple dinner and then entered the Serenitea Pot.
"Qiqi, is Yuanbao still cultivating in the volcano?"
"Mm, yes, Yuanbao has been inside for many days!"
Qiqi, who was grinding herbs, stood up happily to greet Feng Yi when he arrived.
"Hey, Qiqi, have you eaten dinner? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"
Feng Yi sighed softly. Yuanbao had gone into seclusion to cultivate in the volcano half a year ago.
It all started with that Abyss Mage...
While out fishing with Klee and Qiqi, Yuanbao and the others encountered a sneaky Abyss Mage.
With the principle of eliminating evil for the good of the people, Yuanbao and the others immediately charged forward with their bombs.
However, the Abyss Mage's shield made Yuanbao realize her lack of strength.
This Abyss Mage could actually withstand her golden flames for two seconds?!
This was unacceptable!
Thus, Yuanbao made up her mind to go into seclusion to cultivate and revisit the cultivation methods taught to her by Granny Ping.
She vowed not to come out until she could instantly kill Abyss Mages!
Even Feng Yi's attempts to tempt her with her favorite roasted rabbit were futile.
It seemed Yuanbao was truly serious this time.
As her father, Feng Yi naturally wanted Yuanbao to be as strong as possible, but he also wanted her to progress gradually and balance work with rest.
"Qiqi, I want to eat, stewed goose in a pot!"
Qiqi said, looking at the big white goose in the small pond catching fish to eat.
"Then please wait a moment, I'll go make it for you!"
Feng Yi smiled. He hadn't eaten enough for dinner himself, so a late-night snack would be good.
The portion of stewed goose in a pot was so large that Qiqi certainly couldn't finish it alone.
*Burp*
After eating his fill, Feng Yi tidied up the kitchen waste and prepared to leave the Serenitea Pot, but Qiqi called him back.
"Feng Yi, help Qiqi with stretching exercises."
Qiqi bit her finger, looking at Feng Yi with anticipation.
Qiqi really hoped Feng Yi could help her loosen up her stiff body.
"Okay!" Feng Yi smiled slightly. Faced with Qiqi's pure and innocent expectant eyes, it was hard for him to refuse.
Besides, he had nothing else to do right now.
Qiqi lay on the grass, doing stretching exercises.
"Feng Yi, Qiqi has reached her limit~"
Feng Yi was behind Qiqi, assisting her.
Qiqi felt her stiff body approaching its limit and quickly cried out.
Feng Yi immediately stopped and then helped Qiqi gently massage her stretched legs.
"Qiqi, besides this move, are there other stretching exercises you usually do?"
"Let me think, there's another one. Feng Yi, please hold me..."
Qiqi lay on the ground, extending her arms backward and arching her neck, assuming a "swallow dive" pose.
This could effectively exercise her stiff cervical and lumbar vertebrae.
Qiqi asked Feng Yi to hold her backward-reaching arms and gently pull backward.
"Ah, it hurts!"
This was the first time she was attempting a more strenuous exercise, and Qiqi couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"I'm sorry, I pulled too hard. I'll be gentler next time!"
Feng Yi quickly apologized. Qiqi's body was too stiff; even before he started stretching, it was already Qiqi's limit.
"It's, it's okay, Qiqi can still hold on!"
Qiqi gritted her teeth, saying that this was what she had to go through to maintain her body's flexibility.
Usually, Yuanbao helped her with stretching exercises, but since Yuanbao was in seclusion, Qiqi asked Feng Yi for help.
"Let's stop here for today! Gradual progress leads to greater improvement!"
Feng Yi released Qiqi's arms and then gently massaged her small back, using his divine power to soothe the muscle strain from the exercise.
"It's warm and so comfortable. Feng Yi, you're amazing!"
Qiqi closed her eyes, quietly enjoying Feng Yi's comfortable massage.
Qiqi felt a warmth inside her, as if her cold body had been infused with energy.
This was even more comfortable than her previous exercises.
Qiqi had already fallen in love with this feeling. Feng Yi was indeed a very capable person!
"Alright, your body should feel much better now, right?"
Feng Yi withdrew his hands. The lumbar spine damage accumulated from Qiqi's years of exercise had been significantly alleviated by him.
"Feng Yi, could you trouble you to help me with stretching exercises again in the future?"
Qiqi got up and moved her body, feeling much more relaxed instantly.
She tugged at Feng Yi's clothes and looked at him with a hopeful expression.
"As long as Qiqi is willing, I will help you often in the future!"
Feng Yi patted Qiqi's small head and then smiled before leaving the Serenitea Pot.
The next day, Feng Yi woke up early as usual and went to the Pupu Tea Shop to open for business.
Shortly after Liben arrived, the temporary worker Arataki Itto also showed up.
"Boss Feng Yi, I, the Great Arataki Itto, have been waiting for you all night! You haven't paid me the wages you promised!"
Arataki Itto finished his work last night but couldn't find Feng Yi.
Without money, there would be no food, meaning he and the Arataki gang would go hungry.
Arataki Itto had been lurking around the area and finally managed to find Feng Yi this morning.
"My apologies, my apologies. I left in such a hurry last night that I forgot about this. How about this, in addition to the wages owed to you, I'll give you an extra 1000 Mora as an apology, to treat you and the Arataki gang to breakfast!"
Feng Yi had been so preoccupied with going to the fireworks shop with Yoimiya last night that he had forgotten to pay Arataki Itto.
"Oh, how could I possibly accept this... Hahahaha... Then Great Arataki Itto won't be polite!"
Arataki Itto waved his hand generously. Today, he would treat his subordinates to a good meal, eating steamed buns until they were full!
Arataki Itto intended to show the steamed bun shop owner what a great eater looked like today.
After Arataki Itto and his subordinates left, Feng Yi began preparing gifts for his upcoming visit to the Kamisato household.
To cater to their tastes, nothing would be more suitable for the head of the family, Kamisato Ayato, than milk tea.
However, ordinary milk tea wouldn't suffice, so Feng Yi reluctantly took out some spiritual teas as ingredients.
As for the White Heron Princess, Kamisato Ayaka, Feng Yi prepared a poetry collection, as he knew Kamisato Ayaka enjoyed elegant things, whether it was elegant music, poetry, or chess and dance; anything related to elegance was greatly appreciated by Kamisato Ayaka.
