Xumi: I and the treasure-stealing weasel killed our way through the Church of the Lord

But what Nashida was worried about was not the other party's life safety. After all, in the current environment, the probability of a god-level being encountering unmanageable danger is still very low, so there is no need to worry too much.

What the Little Grass God was actually worried about was whether Lin Feng's progress in acquiring power would be smooth.

After all, even when he was still in Xumi, he had not figured out where his authority came from, and he was still unclear about the cost and limits of this ability.

Even in the entire history of Teyvat, no demon has ever possessed elemental powers at the level of multiple rulers.

It is foreseeable that something like this beyond common sense would be difficult to achieve, so it is not surprising that there has been no progress in such a short period of time.

Moreover, Liyue, which is adjacent to Xumi, is also known as the country where gods walk.

The Geo Emperor, who rules Liyue, has been famous for a long time, and the economic situation of the entire country is the best among the seven countries.

Such an ancient god who has existed for a long time must be diligently studying strategies for governing the country every day.

It must be very difficult to meet him in an informal visit, and he probably doesn't have much time outside of work to accompany a strange god from a foreign country to study how to gain power.

——Unless Lin Feng had already established some connection with the other party before, and the two parties hit it off at first sight and had very compatible personalities.

——But how is this possible?

It is clear that a certain guy has a lazy nature hidden under his diligent appearance. No matter how you think about it, the King of Rock, who has governed the country diligently for thousands of years, will not have anything in common with him, right?

Under such circumstances, the little grass god became more and more pessimistic, and even his resentment towards Lin Feng's lateness faded a little.

Forget it, even though that guy looks very reliable, his actual age is much younger than mine, right?

In the absence of any information about neighboring countries, it would be too difficult to obtain power and borrow the Heart of God.

——If he fails, as a senior, I should comfort him.

He rehearsed in his mind the lines he would use to comfort someone. The Little Grass God did not wait for Lin Feng today, so he sighed silently and decided to return to Jingshan Palace to continue processing those unapproved documents.

But just as she turned around and took two steps forward, intending to leave from the top floor of the Palace of Wisdom, a familiar breath suddenly appeared behind her.

!!!

Before Nashida could feel happy, a pair of very familiar hands reached out from under her armpits. With a vague premonition of what would happen next, the Little Grass God spoke weakly:

"I've already told you not to treat me like that in public—"

But before she finished her words, her feet had already left the ground, and the boy's somewhat excited voice came from behind her:

"——Nashida, I'm back!"

Lin Feng raised the little grass god in his hand high up and interrupted her chanting very skillfully.

"."

".Well, welcome back."

Nashida originally wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, she finally sighed and delivered her welcome speech somewhat helplessly in this unexpected scene.

A corner of Pushpa Cafe, Baoshang Street.

Lin Feng and Nashida sat opposite each other, and the table was filled with various snacks from Xumi and Liyue.

"So, these snacks you brought back were made by the God of Rock himself?"

Nashida listened to the introduction of the young man in front of her, pointed at the plate of desserts that looked like flowers, and said in disbelief.

"Of course. This time, due to some unexpected events, I was accidentally late for two days. I specifically asked him to help you make this as compensation. Come and try it."

Thinking of Zhongli's extremely focused expression when he was making the lotus crisps, Lin Feng became full of confidence in this snack that took several hours to successfully cook.

Even though it took Zhongli three hours to make a pot of sobering tea, he himself seemed slow when doing things.

But as Lotus Cake is one of the oldest traditional snacks in Liyue, Zhongli obviously put a lot of effort into making it. It took him two hours just to adjust the pastry...

So even though there were Emperor's version of almond tofu and jade fruit soup next to it, Lin Feng still recommended that Nashida eat this dish first.

".Well, although it is incredible, the quality of this snack is indeed very different from those we usually see, just like the difference between ordinary mushrooms and green-winged mushrooms."

"——However, please tell me everything that happened to you in Liyue. I also want to know what happened that made the God of Rock personally come to the kitchen to help cook."

Nashida looked at the incomparably delicate lotus-shaped dessert wrapped in layers of petals in front of her, and carefully picked one up with her hands.

Remembering the way to eat it that Lin Feng had introduced, she blew gently on the surface of the snack...

!!!

In just a moment of contact with this external force, the petals made of flour began to tremble and slowly bloomed as if they had their own life.

Seeing this scene, Nashida, who had made a lot of snacks herself, was also surprised.

Lotus cake is a long-standing dessert, so there are naturally corresponding records in the void. However, the one in front of us seems to have taken all the details to the extreme. For ordinary people, without decades of experience accumulation, I am afraid that they cannot even reach half of the skill of this dessert.

——Could it be that the God of Rock, in addition to governing the country, actually spent hundreds of years studying food? This is unlikely.

Nashida vaguely realized that the image of the diligent and meticulous God of Rock in her mind began to waver, and she became more and more curious about Lin Feng's experience in Liyue.

Sniffing the sweet fragrance coming faintly from the tip of his nose, the little grass god shook his head, cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and took a small bite of the dessert that looked like a work of art from the corner.

"--tasty!!!"

With a heartfelt exclamation, Nashida, who was originally thinking of asking something else, paused slightly after feeling the rich sweet fragrance coming from between her lips and teeth, and then turned into a ruthless dessert harvester just like Xiaobai at the next table.

After a while.

Lin Feng handed the tea in his hand to the little grass god who was choking a little, and began to continue telling about his experience in Liyue.

".In general, the god of Liyue is a very reliable ally to Xumi, and with his assistance, I have successfully obtained the authority of the rock element."

"Regarding the issue of borrowing the Heart of God, I have already completed the negotiation with the God of Rock, and during the time I returned to Xumi, the Heart of God has been temporarily in my hands, which is this one."

Having said that, Lin Feng took out the Heart of God that the Emperor had temporarily borrowed and placed it on the table in front of the two of them.

"."

Looking at this orange-yellow chess piece, even Nashida, the God of Wisdom, couldn't understand how Lin Feng had accomplished two incredibly difficult tasks in such a short time: obtaining the authority of the rock element and borrowing the Heart of God.

"So, what kind of god is that 'Emperor Rock King'?"

"Is it really as absolutely fair and inhumane as the legend says?"

Having only seen the Gathering of the Seven Gods in records and having never met any of the other ruling Nashidas in person, Lin Feng was somewhat curious about this ancient god who had become familiar with him so quickly.

"Well, how should I put it?"

"He's probably an easygoing old man who's good at slacking off, longs for retirement, and likes drinking tea, walking his bird, and listening to opera."

"By the way, he often leaves Mora alone and blames others for it."

Thinking of the several times he had paid for Zhongli's meals, Lin Feng realized that even before his retirement, the Emperor still didn't like to carry Mora with him.

"."

“It always feels like it’s a little different from what I imagined.”

After hearing Lin Feng's introduction, Nashida felt disillusioned.

After all, compared to her who was 'unqualified', Emperor Yanwang, as the oldest god, had always been a model among 'qualified' gods.

She once thought that this must be a majestic god who spent all his time governing the country, but now it seems that even excellent gods still have some special hobbies of their own.

For example, Morax, the god of wealth, often asks others to pay for his wealth because he has no Morax.

"——Although he has some minor problems that are only common to the elderly, Emperor Yan is still a god who loves his people and is always thinking about the country. He has just been in office for a long time, so he often wants to take a break."

"Next time I take you there, you can ask him to temporarily help as a tour guide. By then you should be able to find that being the god of a country and being 'yourself' are not contradictory things."

Thinking about how the Grass God chose to suppress his emotions before being rescued because he was too eager to become a qualified god, Lin Feng felt that Zhongli’s attitude towards life was actually quite healthy.

——After all, when the country is completely back on track, it is understandable that the gods, who have been busy for hundreds and thousands of years, want to take a break occasionally.

"By the way, how are those little guys in Huanalana doing now? Are the pomegranates on the King Jue tree fully ripe?"

Thinking of the pomegranate that was only partially opened before he left, Lin Feng was a little curious about how the new Lannaro was doing now.

"——No, it took hundreds of years for the seeds in the last pomegranate to fall to the ground. Although it was much faster this time, it should still take a very long time. After all, it takes a long time to give birth to a creature like Lannaro."

"Lanmu Hukunda has been teaching the newborns. It is said that they all want to meet you, their "mother"~"

Thinking of the way the freshmen Lanaro addressed Lin Feng, Nashida couldn't help but smile.

"..."

".Forget it, mother is mother. After all, it is generally more appropriate to call the owner of the power of plants and trees mother."

Lin Feng felt helpless about this name that could not be corrected no matter what, but being called mother by a group of cute cabbages was not a big deal and he could still accept it.

Thinking of Xiao who might come as a guest in the future, he shook his head and said to Nashida who was smiling in front of him:

"Don't just be happy. Even though those little guys are already very powerful, they will still huddle on the ground and tremble in fear when they see the Fiery Liar Flower. If this continues, if any dangerous situation really happens in the future, their ability to protect themselves will be too poor."

"I specially found a teacher from Liyue for them. He was already fighting the demon god two thousand years ago. This is what he looks like. If he comes, please arrange for two Lannaros to take him to Huanalana and teach those little guys who don't know how to fight."

"——Although he doesn't seem easy to deal with, I have a feeling that he will get along well with Lanaro and others."

Thinking of Xiao's textbook-like personality of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside, Lin Feng felt that the simple and cute Lannaro would most likely get along well with him.

Nashida looked at the image that Lin Feng had sent to her in her mind and shook her head helplessly:

"Forget it. Since it's your decision, I won't ask you why you think the legendary Great Sage who is the best at killing demons can get along well with Lanaro."

"——But it's only been a month. What on earth have you done in Liyue? Why do I feel like if you were willing, you would have held an important position there a long time ago?"

Since Lin Feng came back, Nashida was always surprised by the various information he threw out. She felt that with the social skills of her first sage, if she really threw him out and ignored him, perhaps within a year or two, there would be no gods in the entire Teyvat continent that he didn't know.

"Ahem, it's nothing. I still have to go back to help them later. Although if I hadn't already been employed in Xumi, based on the old man's performance, I might have been caught to take his place."

Thinking of the kindness Zhongli had shown towards him from beginning to end, Lin Feng felt that if he landed in Liyue, the old man would most likely capture him and make him work.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng looked at the yellow chess piece in front of him and decided to get back to business.

"Okay, regarding what happened in Liyue, I will use my dream power to package up the details and send you a copy later. The process is really complicated, and it will probably take a long time to explain it to you."

"Now, let's talk about why I want to borrow the Heart of God from there."

"…Is it to transform the desert? The authority should not have been gathered yet, right?"

Nashida thought of Lin Feng’s original purpose and asked tentatively.

"Of course not. Although I really want to start the work now, it is still a bit difficult to transform the desert with only two powers."

Lin Feng shook his head and continued:

"What I really want to do is actually very simple, and I have been enduring this for a long time."

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the northwest corner of the cafe.

As if he could see through the wall, he looked at the muddy and rugged path in front of the Xumi City Gate and said in a resounding voice:

"——That is to completely renovate the dirt trade roads in the entire Xumi territory that are the same as those in the primitive times."

"It is not only to improve our extremely backward infrastructure, but also to conduct a small preview of my future 'changes' in Liyue and the desert."

Chapter 159 The Woman Who Understands Human Nature (6000)

The Ministry of Education, the office of the wise men of the Zhilun school.

In the simply decorated, well-lit room, apart from a black logo symbolizing the sage status of Sravasti College, there are only some necessary office supplies and no unnecessary accessories.

Looking around the room, even the assistants and secretaries that were standard in other sages were nowhere to be seen.

Looking around, the only person active in the room was a gray-haired young man sitting at a long table, processing various documents with great efficiency.

This is naturally Elhaisen, who now serves as the sage of the Zhilun School.

Although he is one of the six sages who is responsible for deciding most of the school's affairs,

However, the Zhilun School, which was only responsible for studying ancient texts and new characters and had relatively few members, unsurprisingly became the most idle among the sages after the Institute of Religious Orders resumed normal operations.

However, the documents he was now processing urgently were not the proposals submitted by members of the school, but detailed survey reports on the road conditions throughout Xumi.

Because his personal ability is the most outstanding among the six sages at present, whenever there are events with a larger impact and higher importance that need to be dealt with.

Elhaisen, who is the most idle on weekdays, will be temporarily recruited to serve as the temporary coordinator of various tasks to check and verify some of the documents that need to be reported to the gods.

Because this is a clause written in the employment contract, the probability of occurrence is not high and the compensation is very generous, so Elhaisen has no objection to this in most cases.

—but discussing work with some blond idiot certainly wasn’t one of them.

"Dong dong dong."
