I.. Am God?-Chapter 56 Matthias’ Gift

He faced the reading Jeremy and said, "I'll be back for you. You're already Ascension Rank so you have enough endurance to not sleep for a week, so read as you like." He then entered the portal and left, returned to his room and slept soundly.

He woke up the next day at 5:00 AM. He flew and entered the Hall. Jeremy was still reading and was immersed in it. Matthias laughed and walked to him, "Jeremy, we need to go back." Matthias tapped him. "Sigh. Can I borrow this book? Just to finish it." Jeremy pleaded, "I'm afraid you can not. The exquisiteness of this book's structure cannot be found anywhere on Earth. Seeing something like this, many would go crazy, especially that bookworm in FEU, if I'm not mistaken." Matthias replied.

Thinking about that bookworm, Jeremy nodded, "Yeah, I think you're correct. Thanks for reminding me. Let's go."

"Wait." Matthias said. He and Jeremy entered the cafe level and what he saw baffled him. "Okay, are you courting my daughter, Denos?"

Denos was playing a Chinese Bamboo Flute while looking at Bai Xia with affection. Bai Xia was smiling sweetly while brewing a cup of fragrant tea. She was wearing a white female daoist robe, making her extremely beautiful.

The two were startled at the sudden entrance of Matthias. Denos panicked for a bit but quickly regained his stature, he bowed with respect and replied, "Greetings, Godfather. Your daughter Bai Xia is just as pure as a lotus, untaintable and charming. I can't help but to play music while looking at her."

Seeing that, Bai Xia laughed gently while covering her mouth with her small and dainty hands.

Jeremy widened his eyes and looked at Matthias with a 'is this a joke?' gaze, "Did The Lord Keeper just call you this beautiful woman's father?"

Matthias smiled and lifted his chin slightly, "Yes. Isn't that right, daughter?"

"Mhmm." She cutely nodded. Jeremy gasped, "She's beautiful. If Key was here, he would almost give up on Sky!"

Matthias laughed, "You evaluate her that highly? Haha!" He then looked at his daughter and asked, "Could you please brew your father a tea?"

"Right away father. I'd brew you your favorite Sweet Plum Tea with Spirit Lotus Petal." She smiled sweetly. Matthias widened his eyes and said with intrigue, "I have no tea that could be said to be my favorite. How could you say that that is my favorite tea?"

"I just feel it!" She smiled. She then proceeded to stride happily towards the brewing counter with springs on her steps.

Matthias smiled while looking at her. He suddenly noticed something and said, "Denos, did you hand out metal tickets?" He looked at him questioningly.

"Oh, okay." Denos nodded and left the premises. "This man." Matthias chuckled and shook his head resignedly.

He returned his gaze to Bai Xia and smiled.

Shortly after, an aromatic scent of tea permeated the room. There was also this strong smell of coffee with it and instead of ruining the smell, it even kind of complements each other.

A little while later, Bai Xia finished and presented two cups filled with tea and coffee respectively. One was a light pink-colored tea with a floating blue lotus petal floating on the water. The other was a dark brown hot coffee with a hint of starry lights dancing within it.

She served it to the two and smiled, "I see that you are kind of going somewhere so I prepared a tea to make you two more energetic."

Matthias took a sip and was overwhelmed by the taste. It was not as viscous as water, but it wasn't thick either. Instead, it sits in the middle. It has a viscosity that is near to that of oil, but it slides smoothly in his throat. The taste was sweet, but not too much. It has this fruity and floral taste and has a spicy aftertaste. The Spirit Lotus Petal releases a heavenly smell and enhances the tea's taste.

When Matthias finished taking a sip, His mind became a lot clearer and he was wrapped with calmness. "Amazing tea, Xiao Xia!"

"Thank you, Dad." She bowed. She then looked and anticipated Jeremy's reaction. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

When Jeremy took a mouthful, there was a feeling inside him that felt like something switched on. He felt better and more powerful. His processing speed increased by 1.5 times and his eye could capture a lot of images.

He then noticed the taste and was amazed. It wasn't as bitter as Americano, but it still has the strong kick that makes him feel alive and kicking. The coffee was so well made that it doesn't need any additives anymore. "This is amazing! Thanks.." Jeremy hesitated, "Can I call her Little Xia too?"

Matthias smirked, "Oh? You're going to assume your uncle mode?"

"Well.." Jeremy nodded, "You are her father, and I am like your brother, so it's either she's my niece or goddaughter. So I think Little Xia is appropriate."

He looked at Bai Xia and asked politely, "Can I call you Little Xia?"

Bai Xia was confused, "Sure, why not? You are my dad's sworn brother, so I'd like it if you call me Little Xia."

"Okay. Thanks, Little Xia!" He smiled.

"Oh, right." Matthias remembered. He stood up and walked to a door and entered it. That was the door towards Cane.

A while later, the door opened and Matthias came out with a long instrument. Looking at it, Bai Xia was surprised and happy. Jeremy looked at it and was amazed, "A zither?"

"Thank you, Father!" She went teary. Matthias looked above and a new floor was constructed. That will be the floor where she will be staying if she wants to rest. He then created a staircase upwards and ascended to the second floor. Jeremy and Bai Xia went with him.

When they arrived, He gently placed the zither on the ground. He then got a floor pillow and placed it in front of a huge bed that is aligned with the wall on an elevated ground. He then placed two more floor pillows below the elevated ground where they will be seated.
