"Okay, knife, no problem, knife."
"Damn, you're playing this joke on me, huh? Believe me or not, I'll help my wife chop you up later!"
"Are you kidding? What do you mean 'your wife'? That's my wife!"
Li Yue crossed her arms over her chest.
"I am Nasida's father, and she is Nasida's mother, so she is my wife, do you understand?"
Li Yue took advantage of Nasita's connection to score first!
"Oh? Are you sure that's true?"
Yama-no-Tao also crossed his arms, puffed out his chest muscles, and looked at Li Yue with disdain.
"Sorry, Little Knife, you'll never be able to beat me when it comes to Nasida."
"Oh, that's a real shame."
Yama's Blade grinned.
"But this is your inner world. Although it's called your inner world, I am the master here. Your wife will be living here with me from now on."
Li Yue's eyes widened.
"Damn it! I forgot about that!"
"I, Yama-no-Kami, admit that she's your wife! And I find her very attractive!"
Yama-no-Kami gave Li Yue a thumbs-up, then licked his lips.
"Your wife is amazing!"
"Did I just get cuckolded by my own hand?"
Li Yue looked terrified, then angrily charged towards Yanmodao. Yanmodao, completely unprepared, watched Li Yue rush towards her and then slid down to her knees.
"I'm sorry, I admit I raised my voice a bit. Please be lenient and let my wife go!"
"Oh? Your wife?"
Yama once again crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head back slightly.
"Goo~~"
Li Yue clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and closed her eyes tightly after a period of internal struggle.
"Excuse me, that's your lady."
"Little Li, aren't you quite clever?"
Enma was in a great mood after winning the victory, and even started calling him "Little Li".
"From today onwards, remember to call me Lord Enma! And my wife, Lady Enma!"
Hearing Yama's arrogant words, Li Yue's previously aggrieved face broke into a smile again.
"Yes, Lord Enma."
He looked up at the Yama-no-Kami.
"Lady Enma is really useful."
Now it was Enma Dao's turn to widen his eyes.
"Damn it! I forgot about that!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely use Lady Enma more often in the future."
"No, no, no, that's Li Yue, your wife. I'm just a neighbor who takes care of your wife when you're not around."
"No, no, that's clearly Lady Enma. I'm just a nobody who uses Lady Enma in front of Lord Enma."
That's your wife!
"That's Lady Yama!"
What started as a competition for the title of the Great Tree King's wife inexplicably turned into a battle to make the Great Tree King the other's wife. This turn of events left the Great Tree King, who was watching from the sidelines, completely dumbfounded.
"What's happening here?"
The Great Tree King, who had been absorbed into the inner world, woke up early. The main problem was that she couldn't sleep properly because the two people next to her were too noisy.
The beautiful single mother, dressed in a long emerald green dress, with pointed ears and long, pale white hair, opened her eyes and saw a man and a woman arguing. One was wearing a black kimono, and the other was wearing a short kimono skirt. They both appeared to be Inatsume people. She herself was lying on a huge, grayish-white rock.
Unlike its juvenile form as seen in the World Tree, in Li Yue's mind, the Great Tree King, free from forbidden knowledge, appears in its mature form.
Turning my head to look up, I could see a bright blue sky, but strangely, there was no sun in the sky. A bright sky without the sun?
Then, looking around, she saw the same vast sky, and finally, after looking around, she could see her location. She seemed to be on a huge gray-white tree, and the huge platform she was on seemed to be the canopy of the tree, a place she had never seen before on the continent of Teyvat!
"Where...is this place!?"
"This is my inner world."
Li Yue answered the question from the Great Compassion Tree King.
"Your inner world?"
"That's right, this is my inner world, Your Majesty."
"Lady Enma? Are you talking about me?"
The Great Tree King tilted its head and asked Li Yue curiously.
"No, no, no, he wasn't talking about you."
Yama-no-Tao slapped Li Yue's head open with one hand.
"This is the inner world of this guy. His name is Li Yue, and you are the respected Mrs. Li."
"what?"
The Great Tree King let out a questioning cry.
One minute she's Lady Enma, the next she's Lady Li. What's going on? I'm not even married.
"Of course it's because of your child, your daughter Nasita."
Yama-no-Kami didn't give Li Yue a chance to explain. Taking advantage of her small and agile body, she straddled Li Yue, held his head with both hands, and sealed his mouth shut so he could speak again.
“You must be Nasita’s mother, right? After all, you look so much like Nasita. Whether it’s your appearance, your hair, or even your clothing style, you are the same. The only difference is that you are taller than Nasita, but I have never heard Nasita mention that she has a sister, so you can only be her mother.”
"Yes, I am indeed Nasita's mother."
After thinking for a moment, the Great Tree King acknowledged his identity as Naxida's mother. Although Naxida was essentially the purest branch she had broken off from the World Tree, and not a product of human fertility, she herself was the embodiment of the World Tree, so there was nothing wrong with saying that she was Naxida's mother.
"Who are you and Naxida?"
“This guy is currently Nasita’s adoptive father, which is why I said you are his wife.”
"what?"
The Great Tree King cried out again, "Nasita's foster father?"
Yama-no-Kami released Li Yue's mouth, letting Li Yue explain herself.
"What Mrs. Li Yue said was just a joke, don't take it too seriously."
Li Yue vehemently denied being the wife of the Great Compassion Tree King, while simultaneously cooperating with Yama-no-Tao to fabricate a story.
"The gist of the situation is this: I accidentally stumbled into the base of an evil organization and found a little girl being imprisoned in a green sphere. I couldn't bear to see her like this, so I rescued her. This little girl is your daughter, Nasita. Then I discovered that Nasita was an orphan, so I adopted her."
"So this is ah."
The wise Great Compassion Tree King probably understood what Li Yue meant. That green ball was probably the protective device she used during her seclusion in the Pure Goodness Palace. And the so-called evil organization... was it referring to the Order of Teachings?
"That's right, that evil organization is really wicked. They locked Nasita in that sphere, without food or water, and forced her to cooperate with their research. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really terrifying."
Yama-tō looked wistful. Like Li Yue, she could make up stories on the spot. The Great Tree King roughly understood that Yama-tō was referring to the Church Council doing some excessive things to Naxida. However, she couldn't guess what exactly happened from Yama-tō's few words. What she cared about more now was...
"So, where am I now?"
"Oh, I just wandered into a strange place again. There was a huge tree there, and someone inside kept shouting: 'World...forget me...' So I investigated and ended up pulling you out of the tree."
"Did you pull me out of the tree?"
Li Yue spoke with an air of nonchalance, but the Great Tree King's eyes widened in astonishment. What kind of divine being was this, capable of pulling him out of the World Tree?
"And what about all that I carry with me...?"
"Oh, you mean those dark things? I took care of those too. The tree was lifeless, but it suddenly became normal after I pulled you out of it. Anyway, these kinds of things are easy for me."
Li Yue looked completely casual.
"You two are really pitiful. Those dark things on your body must be the result of that evil organization's research on you. They even prevented your soul from finding peace after death. If I hadn't rescued Nasita, she probably would have been used for experiments and ended up on the same path as you."
"Um... thank you very much, Mr. Li Yue."
The Great Tree King could tell that the two people in front of her seemed to possess magical powers, but they did not recognize her, nor did they know that Naxida was the new Grass God. Moreover, they seemed to have a strange misunderstanding about the Order of the Church. For a moment, she did not know how to explain, so she simply chose not to explain.
Because these two people weren't bad people, and they even removed the forbidden knowledge from her, thus healing the World Tree as well, it wouldn't be excessive for her, as the manager of the World Tree, to kowtow to them.
"Unfortunately, although I managed to pull you out, you are now just a remnant soul, a dead person."
"It's alright, Mr. Li Yue has already helped me a lot, I'm very satisfied."
The Great Tree King is very open-minded. She is a saintly character, in a positive sense. All she cares about is the safety of the people of Sumeru and the World Tree, while she doesn't care much about her own safety.
"It's alright, it's just a remnant soul. You can still live a normal life here!"
Yama-no-Kami quickly interjected, pointing his thumb backwards at Li Yue.
"This guy's power is special; his inner world can accommodate other souls. Since you've already entered his inner world, there's no way you can leave. You either self-destruct and die or stay here. You might as well stay here and keep me company. I'm getting really bored in this guy's inner world all by myself."
"Besides, you can check on your daughter every now and then through this guy. Don't you want to watch your daughter grow up?"
"As for the price of living in this guy's inner world, it is to lend him your power when he needs it, and that's what I did."
"this...."
The Great Tree King was somewhat tempted. Now that the crisis of the World Tree had been resolved, her only concern was Naxida. Even if it was just a remnant soul, she wanted to see Naxida grow up. As for the price of borrowing power, that was not a problem at all. Li Yue, who had adopted Naxida and healed the World Tree, was definitely a good person. Lending him her power was no problem at all.
"Mr. Li Yue, may I stay in your inner world a little longer?"
"Hey, what do you mean 'stay a little longer'? You can stay as long as you want!"
Li Yue readily agreed!
