Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

This question made Yingmei even more embarrassed; she felt her cheeks burning hot.

She stammered, "Well, well, I ate Jueyun chili peppers in my dream, yes, that's it. Paimon, stop asking, get up."

After saying that, Yingmei hurriedly got out of bed, wanting to leave this incredibly embarrassing scene as soon as possible.

Although her heart was still pounding, she tried to appear calm and composed.

After all, she didn't want Paimon to know that she had just been passionately kissing Ueno Chiki in her dream.

Recalling the scene in her dream, her ears turned bright red. That guy Qian Shu, how could he have reached there? He's a complete pervert.

She splashed cold water on her face, and the stimulation gradually calmed her down. Looking at herself in the mirror, a blush of embarrassment still lingered on her face.

Soon after, in the morning sunlight, Yingmei and Paimon walked out of the hotel together.

However, the moment they stepped onto the street, they immediately sensed something was amiss. The once bustling street was now filled with a tense atmosphere, with people hurrying by as if something significant was happening.

Yingmei asked a passerby, puzzled, "What happened?"

The passerby gave her a strange look, then replied, "Didn't you turn on the Void Terminal?"

Yingmei was taken aback, and silently prayed, "May you hear the voice of divine wisdom."

Immediately afterwards, a screen appeared before her eyes, displaying the following words: "The Great Sage Azar has committed the crime of imprisoning a god and has been captured. The great Seed Sect Master, Little Auspicious Grass King, will regain control of Sumeru!"

Yingmei stared at the words in astonishment, hardly believing her eyes.

The world changes so fast. Yesterday Hazard was showing off in front of them, and today he's a prisoner.

She knew that it was all the work of Ueno Chiki, which shocked her greatly.

Ueno Senju only spent a little over two months in Sumeru, but he could turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist, directly bringing the high and mighty ruler of Sumeru, the great sage Azhar, down to the mortal realm. What wisdom and strategy that is!

At that moment, Paimon also saw the words on the screen. She flew to Yingmei's side and said, "Traveler, let's hurry over to the Order House!"

Yingmei nodded, and the two quickened their pace, heading towards the Order Academy.

........

Downwind erosion, in a camp in the desert.

Seno, holding the Staff of Crimson Sand, coldly looked at the scholars Morgi and Judar. "I'll give you one chance. Quickly tell me what the Council of the Church's true purpose is. You should know my methods. If you confess now, it will be considered a confession."

Beside Seno stood El-Heissen, arms crossed, his brow furrowed, clearly disliking Seno's method of interrogation.

Under immense pressure, the somewhat timid Morgi's mental defenses gradually crumbled. "I can't take it anymore! I have to tell the truth!"

"Shut up!" Judar shouted. "Morgi. Think carefully. We can only endure temporary physical pain. But if we betray the Great Sage, our lives are over."

Upon hearing this, Morgi immediately realized what was happening. "Yes, yes, you're right. I won't say anything."

Seno was furious. "Since that's the case, then I'll show you what I'm capable of."

"Senior Disciplinary Officer, please watch your behavior. Torture is strictly prohibited in the disciplinary regulations," Elhesen said directly, disapproving of his behavior.

Sino was speechless. He was putting on this show to intimidate the two scholars, not to torture them.

He really is a stragglers who can't hold on any longer—he's completely broken down.

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to get the truth out of her, Elhesen's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he turned and left.

Before Seno could ask why, Judar and Morgi's expressions turned utterly terrified, as if the sky had fallen. This situation left Seno even more bewildered; he had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Morgi said with a hint of pleading, "Grand Disciplinary Officer Seno, I'll tell you everything now, can you consider it a confession?"

Seno frowned, utterly bewildered by this sudden turn of events. He asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened?"

At this point, Judar also gave up resisting. His face was pale and his voice trembled as he said, "You'll know if you open the Void Terminal."

Seno hesitated for a moment, then took out the Void Terminal from his pocket. He hadn't used it since Elhesen had exposed him and the Council of the Church had used it to monitor and predict his movements.

However, Judar and Morgi's unusual reactions made him realize that something important might have happened.

He took a deep breath and opened the Void Terminal.

The information on the screen made his eyes widen, his face filled with disbelief.

The great sage Azhar has been captured, and the little auspicious grass king is about to regain control of Sumeru.

All of this has changed so quickly and so drastically that it's unbelievable.

Seno finally understood why Elhesen had suddenly left, and why Judar and Morgi were so terrified.

Seno stared coldly at Morgi and Judar, his tone revealing an unquestionable authority: "Confess. Tell me everything you know, and I will consider whether to convict you based on your confession."

Under Seno's intense gaze, Morgi and Judar began to confess everything they knew.

As they spoke, Seno's expression grew increasingly grim.

The actions of the great sage Azhar undoubtedly violated the six fundamental sins of the ancient sages. What made it even more unacceptable to him was that almost half of the scholars and officials of the Council of the Church were involved, and the extent of the involvement was shocking.

"As the disciplinary officer, I will judge all those who have committed crimes!"

Chapter 149 Seed Sect Meeting

Yingmei and Paimon followed the crowded people to the square of the Church of Christ.

The square was now teeming with people, a dense crowd of Sumerian citizens completely surrounding it.

Most of them were followers of the Little Lucky Grass King. Upon learning of the Little Lucky Grass King's return, they rushed here eagerly, hoping to see their god with their own eyes.

Yingmei and Paimon weaved through the crowd, trying to find a good spot to watch.

Just then, a tender and melodious voice rang out in the sky: "Citizens of Sumeru, hello! I am the Little Auspicious Grass King, Buyer." Although the voice was not loud, it clearly spread throughout the entire square.

Immediately afterwards, Nasita descended slowly from the sky, stepping on a sacred green beam of light.

Her appearance immediately drew cheers from everyone in the square.

"Our Lord, the Greatly Benevolent, Auspicious, Wise, and Holy Lord, protects all beings. With my faith, I give thanks to Our Lord and plant the seed~"

Everyone present placed their hands on their hearts, bowed their heads slightly, and shouted in unison. Their voices resounded through the sky, as if the entire heavens were about to shatter.

Yingmei and Paimon were also moved by the solemn and sacred atmosphere. They stood quietly in the crowd, watching Nasita.

After the noise subsided, Nasita continued, "I have always lacked self-confidence, believing myself to be far inferior to the all-knowing and all-powerful Great Tree King. Therefore, I was imprisoned by the Great Sage of the Order of the Fathers and never thought of escaping. However, I was wrong!"

Over the centuries, the Church has continuously degenerated and declined. What should have been a paradise of wisdom and knowledge has instead become a breeding ground for conspiracy and desire.

Throughout history, great sages have only thought about power and desire, never truly considering how to bring happiness and peace to the people of Sumeru. Instead, they have become obsessed with intrigue and power struggles.

Although I acknowledge my shortcomings, I believe I can fulfill my duty as a deity of Sumeru, leading everyone to a happy and peaceful life, and completely eradicating the Demon Scale Disease and the Dead Zone.

The people were moved by her sincere words. Such a gentle, kind, and sincere deity deserved their most devout faith.

They kept shouting "Plant~gate~".

When Yingmei saw Naxida, her heart melted. Such a cute little sister, it would be such a waste not to sit in her Dust Song Pot.

After a long time, the deafening roar gradually subsided.

Nasita continued, "From now on, the Council of the Church will no longer be responsible for any political affairs, becoming a clean academic place. There will be no intrigues or backstabbing, and scholars can concentrate on their academic research."

Administrative matters will be handled by the newly established Church—the Seed Church. I will serve as the Holy Lord of the Seed Church, and Oppenheimer will be its First Saint!

Yingmei found this statement quite unbelievable. Oppenheimer, also known as Ueno Chiki, was originally a struggling novelist in Inazuma. At his lowest point, his family couldn't even afford to eat. He only managed to survive by writing borderline novels.

Yet, this very person has now become a saint of Mount Sumeru, revered by thousands.

Compared to this, her once-proud knighthood was nothing.

At this moment, Nasita's voice suddenly came from Yingmei's void terminal, "Traveler, wait a moment, could you please come to the Pure Good Palace? I need your help."

Upon hearing this voice, Yingmei immediately composed herself, nodded to Naxida, and indicated that she had received the message.

Soon after, Naxi Da returned to Jingshan Palace, and the crowd in the square gradually dispersed.

Yingmei led Paimeng toward Jingshan Palace.

They climbed the winding staircase and soon arrived at the gate of Jingshan Palace.

They saw Tinari bending down, comforting two elderly scholars who were kneeling on the ground but whose bodies were upright.

“Teacher Nafis, you knew nothing about the imprisonment of the Little Lucky Grass King.” Tinari felt sorry for his teacher.

"Don't try to whitewash this old man. I'm a complete idiot. I knew perfectly well that the Council was trying to create a god, yet I listened to that bastard Azar's nonsense." Nafis stubbornly waved his hand. "I am a sage of the Council. How can I be at peace with myself after making such a serious mistake?"

Kavaja, standing beside him, chimed in, “We two old men have devoted our lives to academic pursuits and have never paid any attention to our gods. We have failed them.”

“Teacher Nafis, Sage Kavaja, and King Little Lucky Grass have all said that you are innocent. Besides, you are both old and your bodies can’t take it,” Tinari continued to plead.

“Let them kneel!” Ueno Chiki crossed her arms and slowly walked over. “Otherwise, it will be difficult to dispel their guilt.”

Seeing this, Tinali wanted to say something more.

Ueno Chiki walked up to him and whispered something in his slender ear. Tinari's eyes widened instantly, and he was completely shocked.

If what he just heard was true, then all the sages of the Church from five hundred years ago to the present are unforgivable sinners, and even being torn to pieces or shattered to pieces would not wash away their sins.

He couldn't believe it, his voice trembling slightly, "Lord Oppenheimer, is this true?"

Ueno Chiki nodded firmly. "So let them kneel."

Tina felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; his mind was in complete disarray.

Seeing his expression, Ueno Chiki sighed softly, "This matter is too important, let's keep it a secret."

Ueno Chiki continued forward, reaching Yingmei. He naturally took her soft, slender hand in his. "Let's go!"

Yingmei felt his fingers gently holding her hand, and a warmth and strength instantly spread throughout her body.

She felt her heart racing, and her whole body felt lightheaded.

They walked together towards Jingshan Palace.

Paimon, watching their intimacy from behind, had a complex expression on her face. She was worried that she might no longer be the traveler's closest person, but she was also happy that the traveler had found someone he truly loved.

Chapter 150 Strategies for Dealing with the Enemy

Ueno Chiki took Yingmei's hand and entered the Jingshan Palace, with Paimon following behind them.

As soon as she saw them coming, Nasita's face lit up with a bright smile.

"Hello, Little Lucky Grass King, I am the Traveler, and next to me is my emergency food, Paimon." Yingmei's eyes lit up when she saw Nasita, and she greeted her warmly.
