I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 917

That phrase, "The world...forget me," was just something that came out of a tape recorder.

Nothing to worry about.

The only thing to be careful about is the red sky that Ying saw in her dream.

That means it has been contaminated.

That is, taboo knowledge that has not been completely eradicated.

The dead zone and the demon scale disease that still exist within the Sumeru territory are caused by them.

But this isn't a big problem.

Once my cousin arrives in Sumeru from Inazuma, we can take care of them.

Therefore, compared to the strange sights that Ying saw in her dreams, Nasita was actually more interested in Ying herself.

This renowned traveler, though said to lack a Vision, is said to be able to wield multiple elemental powers. She once helped Mondstadt deal with the Dvalin dragon plague, assisted Liyue in suppressing Oser, and even fought against the Fatui Enforcer [Lady] and Thor at Castle Keep...

Such a person, with impeccable character and a strong personality who doesn't get along well with the Fools, would be a good fit as Cole's partner.

Nasida lowered her head and thought for a while, then picked up her phone again and called Cole.

--

Cole has deactivated her magical girl transformation.

She was kneeling on the bed, holding a hairpin in her hand, praying and energizing it.

Now she's a fanatic, and her recharging speed is much faster than before.

At one point, the phone by the bedside rang—it was Xia Zhi's song.

Ke Lai opened her eyes, picked up her phone, glanced at the screen, and quickly answered the call.

"Hey, Lord Grass God?"

"Ke Lai, go back to Huacheng Guo immediately."

"Eh?"

"The traveler is resting in Huacheng Guo. Go back and find her, and ask her to help you with the investigation."

"Lord Grass God... I'm not good with words, I might not be able to convince that traveler..."

"Her purpose in coming to Xumi is to see me. Tell her that once the investigation is over, you can bring her to see me directly, and she will agree."

"I understand, Lord Grass God."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ok!"

Ke Lai put down her phone and looked at the [Dark Hairpin] in her hand, which was almost fully charged.

She thought for a moment and continued praying.

Not urgent.

After all, Huacheng Guo is quite far from here.

If I want to get back as soon as possible, I'll have to rely on the magic I use after transforming to travel.

--

Transform the city.

Inside the simple treehouse.

A blonde girl with long blonde hair was sitting on a wooden bed, her hand supporting her forehead, looking somewhat listless.

Her eyes were bright gold, and two flowers called "Intiwat" were placed slightly high on her hair, with white light emanating from their stamens. Feathers were also worn near her ears.

In mid-air beside the bed, a creature with the appearance of a strange little elf was floating.

She looked like a miniature version of an adorable little girl, with shoulder-length white hair, a black and blue cape with a starry sky pattern on her back, and a halo resembling an angel floating on her head.

This is Ying, a traveler who has just arrived in Sumeru, and her companion Paimon.

"Are you alright, traveler?"

Paimon flew from left to right, looking at Ying with a worried expression.

"You look terrible."

Ying forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Paimon asked, "Are you really alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Ying thought for a moment and said, "My mouth feels so bitter..."

Paimon nodded and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "That was a medicine prepared by Tinari. He gave you some while you were unconscious."

"No wonder..."

“That medicine seems to be very effective! You woke up not long after Tinari gave it to you… Oh right, Tinari said you need to drink it again after you wake up. I forgot about it when Haibasha came to question us earlier. Traveler, you wait here, I'll go find Tinari!”

After Paimon finished speaking, he flew away in an instant.

Ying looked at the doorway, her face contorted with bitterness. She could still taste the lingering bitterness on her tongue, and she was quite reluctant to drink the herbal soup that was about to be consumed.

But in order to cure the illness, there was no other way but to drink it.

But speaking of which, why did I suddenly faint?

Haibasha said that she was practicing meditation in the forest at the time, and used a plant incense called "Lingfenxiang" to calm her mind and enter a meditative state.

Tinari said that incense has no effect on most people, but it does stimulate the mind of a very small number of people, and he himself seems to be one of them.

Is it really such a coincidence?

And there was the red sky and the huge tree that I saw in my dream.

After hearing her story, Haibasha and Tinari's expressions changed somewhat. They seemed to know something, but they didn't intend to tell her and Paimon.

Are they hiding some secret?

Tina said that the incense had caused her very strong hallucinations, and that her current mental state was not optimistic, so it was necessary for her to stay in Huachengguo for a period of time for recuperation and observation...

Is that really just an illusion?

That red sky seemed very similar to the sky over Kanria that looked like it was on fire back then...

Ying felt her mind was in a mess.

Just then, voices suddenly came from outside the door.

Then Paimon and Tinari came in.

He was a young man with large ears and a long, bushy tail. He wore a gold trefoil earring in his right ear, his hair matching his black hair color, with grass-green highlights in his bangs and the hair on the sides of his face. He wore a sleeveless, high-necked bodysuit and a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with only a right sleeve. A long white cloth with yellow patterns wrapped around his abdomen and waist, cinched with a purple belt. He wore a gold brooch. He wore dark blue rolled-up trousers and mid-calf desert boots. A grass-themed Eye of God was tied around his waist.

Tinali held a bowl of medicine in his hands and said, "The medicine is here, drink it quickly."

Ying hesitated for a moment, then took the bowl of medicine from his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

so bitter!

Ying frowned and put the bowl down.

However, after drinking it, she felt that her mind did become more stable and clearer.

Tinali put the bowl away and said, "After you finish your medicine, lie down and rest well."

Ying couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, Mr. Tinari, how long do I need to recuperate and observe in my condition?"

Tinari looked at her and said, "I originally thought you could leave after drinking another bowl of medicine after you woke up, but then I found out that your hallucinations were very severe, so it's hard to say now..."

Ying said with a serious expression, "Mr. Tinari, I can confirm that what I said was not an illusion!"

Tina sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Everyone who eats this mushroom will confidently tell others that they saw colorful little people dancing in front of them, but that's just an illusion. If you still can't believe it, you can smell this."

As Tina said this, she took out a sachet and handed it to Ying.

A strong aroma wafted towards us.

Ying felt a sudden wave of dizziness, and her body swayed slightly.

"Well--!"

Upon seeing this, Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, are you alright?"

Tina immediately put the sachet away and said, "Doesn't it feel a lot like when you collapsed?"

Ying touched her forehead with her hand, her face was a little pale, and she nodded slightly.

Tinari continued, “Many plants in the rainforest emit similar scents. Although you are currently conscious, if you are suddenly allowed to leave, you may suddenly lose consciousness somewhere again. There are many wild beasts in the rainforest, and there are also very dangerous areas. You may not be as lucky as you are this time.”

Paimon looked worried: "That sounds terrifying!"

Tinari looked at Ying and said, "These days you need to take your medicine on time every day and try not to go out alone until you no longer feel uncomfortable when you smell this scent, okay?"

Ying paused for a moment and then said, "Okay... then Paimon and I will be bothering you for the time being."

Tina shook her head and said, "It's not a bother at all. You should get some rest. Someone outside ate bad mushrooms, and I need to go get him some medicine... I wish Cole were here..."

Tina took the medicine bowl and went out.

Cole?
