I'm a male god in Liyue

Upon receiving this definitive answer, an expression of disbelief appeared in Cole's eyes.

In the minds of the Sumeru people, the Great Compassion Tree King had been missing for five hundred years, and he was long believed to have perished.

Where are the things you brought?

"it's here."

Upon hearing the question, Cole quickly took off the ring she was wearing on her finger and then carefully handed it to her with both hands.

Xia Ci did not accept the spatial ring immediately.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze sweeping past the ring and landing on Cole's hands, which were wrapped in bandages.

Noticing her gaze scrutinizing her hands, Cole instinctively tried to pull them back and hide them behind her back.

But just as she was about to move her hand, Xia Ci gently grasped it with his hand, which he had raised at some point.

Kolai's body trembled, as if in fear: "Lord Tree King."

Xia Ci, who had once been deeply corrupted by "forbidden knowledge," could clearly sense the malicious aura emanating from beneath these bandages.

In addition, she also sensed the aura of [Demon God Remnants] on Kolai.

Both of these are things that ordinary people cannot bear, yet they exist strangely within her alone.

Xia Ci discovered that this situation had been going on for several years.

It's hard to imagine how this seemingly timid and shy girl managed to endure such a long period of torment.

Xia Ci's gaze turned somewhat sad, and she said softly, "Poor child."

Such a gentle tone reminded Cole of her mother in her memory, and she was momentarily lost in thought.

Xia Ci released her hand, took the ring, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will heal you."

Upon hearing the word "cured," Cole's body tensed up instinctively, as if some unpleasant memories had been triggered.

She paused for a moment, then replied softly, "Thank you, Lord Tree King."

Xia Ci glanced at her, seemingly lost in thought.

He then took out his phone and sent a message to Naxida: "The item has been delivered."

--

Inside the Palace of Wisdom.

Nasida held her phone, staring blankly at the message her sister had just sent.

That's not right.

According to my calculations, Krypton should have just arrived in Liyue by now, so how did the items get sent to Mondstadt?

The woman opposite her seemed to know the doubts in her heart.

A second message came right away.

“I sent the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons to deliver Cole here.”

It turned out to be the case.

Naxi Da suddenly realized.

She knew the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc.

After thinking for a while, Naxida found Xia Zhi's profile picture in the chat interface and sent him a message.

"Brother Xia Zhi, are you there?"

--

The alchemy workshop on the second floor of the library.

Xia Zhi felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

There is news.

"Miss Lisa, let's stop here for this morning."

"Is Mr. Xia coming again this afternoon?"

Lisa looked at him with a somewhat intense gaze.

"I plan to go to the alchemy workshop this afternoon. I've long heard that Mr. Abedo is the chief alchemist of the Knights. I'd like to have a discussion with him to see if we can find a way to solve the problem of this batch of alchemical materials not being able to be used to make potions."

“I’ll go with Mr. Xia. The more people we discuss things with, the more ideas we can come up with.”

"it is good."

Lisa stayed in the workshop to tidy up.

Xia Zhi stepped out of the room. There was no one around. He took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it.

It was actually sent by my little cousin, Naxi Da.

Xia Zhi replied to the message.

"Here I am."

"Brother Xia Zhi, there's something I need your help with."

"Go ahead."

“I’ve already had someone deliver the Void Terminal. Her name is Ke Lai. She’s suffered from Demon Scale Disease since she was a child. I hope Brother Xia Zhi can help cure her.”

"Demon scale disease..."

"This is a disease unique to Sumeru, named for the grayish-black scaly tissue that appears on the patient's body. At first, the patient only feels some numbness in the areas of the skin that have changed, but as the disease progresses, there will be a decrease in strength and occasional loss of sensation in the fingers and toes. Eventually, the patient will become unable to control their body and completely lose the ability to move."

"I will help her get proper treatment."

"Thank you, Brother Xia Zhi."

Xia Zhi put away her phone.

Logically speaking, as the goddess of grass, Nasita's combat abilities might not be very strong, but her support abilities should certainly be quite good.

She should be able to easily cure the diseases of this world with her grass-based divine power.

But right now she has no way to treat the [Demon Scale Disease], so she can only send people to him for treatment.

This illness seems to be somewhat unusual.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the library, Xia Zhi found Xia Ci reading a book behind a bookshelf.

Next to her sat another unfamiliar girl, who held a fairy tale book written in Sumeru language. She pointed at the words with her finger, moving it around as she struggled to decipher them.

Xia Ci greeted him with a light laugh: "Cousin."

Xia Zhi nodded: "Hmm, and who is this?"

Xia Ci explained: "She is a messenger sent by Naxi Da, named Ke Lai."

Xia Zhi glanced at Ke Lai's bandaged hands and said gently, "So it's Miss Ke Lai."

When Ke Lai heard the Tree King call out that sweet "cousin," his mind went blank.

Wasn't the previous Grass God an incarnation of the World Tree?

How come I have a cousin?

She looked at the young man with black glasses, somewhat at a loss, and cautiously asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "My name is Xia Zhi, and I'm currently a traveler. Miss Ke Lai, you've been traveling these past few days, it must be tiring."

Cole quickly replied, "It's no trouble at all, Mr. Xiao brought us here."

Xia Zhi asked curiously, "You guys?"

Cole replied, "And Miss Kira."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Miss Qi Liangliang is here too. I haven't seen her in a while. Where is she?"

Xia Ci glanced at the other side of the bookshelf and said, "I heard her say that she was going out to deliver packages and would come back to find us after she finished."

Xia Zhi said, "Then let's go out to eat together when she gets back."

Xia Ci nodded: "Mm."

After a brief greeting, Xia Zhi walked to the bookshelf to continue selecting books, taking the opportunity to absorb the knowledge from them using the [Ring of the Scholar].

Cole covered her face with a book, secretly watching his back as he kept picking up and putting down books, wondering why he was doing that.

After looking at it for a while, she lowered her head and continued to read the fairy tale book with difficulty.

Qi Liangliang's delivery speed is quite fast.

About an hour later, when Charlotte returned from taking photos outside, she went back to the library and greeted Xia Zhi with a happy expression.

Afterwards, everyone went out for lunch together.

On the way, Qi Liangliang raised her hand and said happily, "Because of the ring Mr. Xia gave me, I can now deliver a lot of packages at once!"

Ying'er asked, "Did Komaha-ya give you a raise?"

Qi Liangliang said proudly, "I've added it! I'm a top-notch courier now!"

Zhu Zi asked curiously, "How much did you add?"
