Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Although he wanted to taste the wine of another world, Venti knew that as the Wind God, he couldn't leave Teyvat for too long. He hadn't even sent out his Divine Heart yet, and he had already been away for a day and a night. He should go back, otherwise the lady would get anxious if he stayed a few more days. As for coming back later, he could just ask Li Yue for help to open the door.

With the generous 10,000 yen from Kasumigaoka, Li Yue spent another half a day with Wendy and Narcida, spending all the money and trying not to leave a single penny behind before finally returning to Teyvat.

After passing through the dark blue portal, Li Yue led Wendy and Narcida back to Star-Picking Cliff.

They set off from here early yesterday morning for another world, where they spent a day and a night. Now, full of excitement, they returned to Teyvat. Looking at the familiar gold color, Wendy couldn't help but sigh.

"Although the scenery in another world is also nice, the wind in Teyvat is definitely more comfortable for me."

“There is no elemental power in the other world, and you are a wind spirit, so Teyvat is definitely more comfortable for you.”

Li Yue helps maintain Wendy's persona as a wind sprite.

"Yes, that's it!"

Wendy nodded quickly, suppressing her identity as a wind sprite.

"By the way, Li Yue, where did you go after you left alone last night?"

After waiting all morning, Wendy's curiosity was finally getting the better of him. His intuition told him that Li Yue must have gone to another world, and he was also very concerned about Li Yue's awakening of the grass element. The power that Li Yue had hidden seemed to be a dream power that only the grass god possessed.

"After letting you play in the world of Kasumigaoka, I went to another world myself."

They really went to another world! And they didn't even take him with them!

Wen Yidi's gaze toward Li Yue was filled with resentment.

"Please, you don't need to look at me like that. Not every world is as peaceful as that one. The second world I went to was extremely dangerous. There were many monsters there that could devour human souls. It doesn't matter if you're a wind spirit, but my daughter isn't. Do you want me to take my daughter to such a dangerous world?"

Li Yue spread her hands, looking completely at ease.

"After I awakened this ability, I can go to two worlds. I went to the first world by myself and made sure it was safe before taking you there. I went to the second world by myself first, and then I found that it was very dangerous."

"Okay, it was my fault for not taking that into account."

Wendy helplessly scratched the back of her head and bowed her head to admit her mistake.

"But what's with your grass element? Does it mean there are people from the continent of Teyvat in another world?"

Wendy is very interested in the grass element that Li Yue is showcasing.

"This is the matter."

Li Yue glanced at Naxida, who was also staring at her with curiosity.

"Nasita, there are many Cecilia flowers here. Could you please pick some for me? As many as possible."

"Does Li Yue want some flowers?"

Naxi Da was a little confused, but she still immediately chose to pick flowers as Li Yue asked.

However, Narcida had her own ideas. There were many Cecilia flowers on Starcliff. For Narcida, picking flowers was very easy. As the Grass Goddess and King of Plants, she could directly obtain flowers from a distance. She didn't go far before hiding behind a large rock. She then hid behind the rock and secretly listened to Li Yue and Wendy's conversation. She also wanted to know what Li Yue's grass element was all about and why it was so similar to her power.

Li Yue naturally knew that Nasita had not left, because Nasita's spiritual pressure was less than ten meters away, but all of this was intentional on Li Yue's part.

"Alright, Nasita can't leave now, so you should tell her what's going on."

Wendy also sensed that Narcida hadn't left, but he didn't expose her, since both of them were keeping their true identities a secret from Li Yue and the others.

“I let Nasita leave because I didn’t want to hurt her.”

A sad expression appeared on Li Yue's face.

"As everyone knows, Nasita was an orphan."

"what?"

Wendy looked completely bewildered. Was this common knowledge? But Li Yue ignored him and continued to explain.

"I accidentally arrived at Sumeru while trying to use my own power, and found Narcida who was imprisoned. I saw her sad expression, and then I understood everything!"

"What did you understand?"

Wendy was very curious. He had already spoken with Nasita and learned about her situation, so he felt that Li Yue must have misunderstood something about Sumeru.

“There is an evil organization over there that adopts orphans everywhere to conduct evil experiments, and Nasita is one of its victims.”

That seems reasonable, because there was indeed an evil organization that adopted orphans for experiments.

"After I adopted Nasita, I discovered that Nasita was smarter than ordinary children and also possessed powers that ordinary children did not have. This is probably why that evil organization wanted to imprison and study Nasita."

I don't think so.

Wendy muttered to herself.

"So I adopted Narcida, hoping she could run freely in Teyvat. But last night, when I wandered through another world and wanted to go back to pick you up, the door I opened didn't lead to your world, but to a strange space."

"There is a huge tree there, but it is cursed, and a woman's voice keeps echoing in it."

Upon hearing this, Wendy and Narcida were both astonished, because the tree Li Yue spoke of was clearly the World Tree! As for the echoing voice, without a doubt, it was the Great Compassion Tree King! They never expected the Great Compassion Tree King to be inside the World Tree!

“I used my power to peel the woman from the tree and found that she was cursed. So I removed the curse from her. After the curse was removed, the tree suddenly became more radiant. But that’s not what surprised me. It was the woman who surprised me. She looked very similar to Nasita. I guessed that she was probably Nasita’s mother.”

Li Yue recounted the story she had written with deep emotion.

"The curse on her made me realize that she had also been captured by that evil organization for research."

I don't think that's the case; it's more likely that the Order of the Fathers was studied by the Great Tree King.

"The reason Nasita was captured is probably because she inherited her mother's power, which further strengthened my resolve to protect Nasita and prevent her from being captured by the evil organization again."

No need!

"But why don't you tell Nasita about this? She would be so happy if she knew you found her mother."

Wendy asked, puzzled.

"Because although I found Ah Ci, I had no way to let Naxida see her."

Li Yue shook her head helplessly.

"Oh, Ah Ci is the name of Naxida's mother."

Ah Ci, um... this name is very grand, like the King of the Ci Tree.

“When I separated Ah Ci from that big tree, she was already in a soul state, and because of my special circumstances, she was absorbed into my soul.”

"Wait, absorbed into your soul?"

Wendy looked at Li Yue in surprise. That was the soul of a demon god, how could someone absorb it?

“That’s right. My soul is special. It will involuntarily absorb souls with special powers and then transform them into its own power. I don’t know the specific conditions, but Ah Ci’s soul was absorbed by me after I removed the curse.”

“I went into my inner world and had a brief chat with her. I learned her name and let her know that I had adopted Nasita. I also let her know that Nasita had escaped the clutches of that evil organization so that she could rest assured. Considering that she was Nasita’s mother, I suppressed my instinct to absorb souls and did not absorb and merge with her. Instead, I let her live in my inner world as an independent soul. In this way, she could see Nasita through my eyes and watch Nasita grow up with her own eyes.”

"Is that so? That's fine too."

“That’s right, that’s why I can use the power of the grass element. Ah Ci lent me her power to thank me, hoping that I could use it to teach Nashida. Ah Ci and Nashida, mother and daughter, have both awakened the eye of the grass element. I was thinking about how to teach Nashida how to use the grass element, and now this is perfect.”

That's not the Eye of God, that's the power of the Grass Element!

Venti knew that the Great Tree King sacrificed itself 500 years ago to protect Teyvat. At that time, everyone thought that the Great Tree King had left forever. Unexpectedly, it still left behind a soul. Although it was just a soul and had been integrated into Li Yue's inner world, it was still able to exist as a soul and watch over Teyvat. That was quite remarkable. Everyone on the continent of Teyvat owed the Great Tree King a debt of gratitude.

The thought that the Great Tree King was looking at her through Li Yue's eyes softened Wendy's expression, while Narcida, who was eavesdropping behind the rock, clenched her little hands. Li Yue had actually found the Great Tree King, and the Great Tree King was looking at her!

"But why can't we tell Nasita?"

"Because Ah Ci can see Naxida, but Naxida can't see Ah Ci. If you tell Naxida about Ah Ci, she will first be filled with hope, and then she will be filled with despair. She knows about her mother, and her mother is right in front of her, but she can't see her mother. This feeling is very painful."

Li Yue shook her head helplessly again.

"So, rather than giving her hope and then letting her despair, it's better not to tell her in the first place. To make up for Naxida, I will do my best to give her a wonderful childhood together with Ah Ci."

Hiding behind the rock, Naxida listened to Li Yue's words and lowered her head in gratitude.

Thank you, Li Yue. Although I know the truth now, thank you for everything you've done for me.

"I will make her understand that although she has lost her mother, she still has me!"

Touched, Nasida scratched her head, wondering why Li Yue's words sounded a bit odd.

55. I'm just a weak wind sprite, what can I do?

Shortly after Li Yue and Wendy finished telling the story about Ah Ci, Narcida returned carrying a bunch of Cecilia flowers. She acted as if she knew nothing, not asking about the grass element or why Li Yue had asked her to pick Cecilia flowers. She simply held the flowers in her hands and looked up at Li Yue.

"Li Yue, the Cecilia flower you requested has been picked up."

"Great, this is exactly what I wanted!"

Li Yue took the Cecilia flowers that Naxida had picked and wove them into a wreath, which she then placed on Naxida's head.

"When I came to see Dvalin before, I saw these Cecilia flowers and thought they matched your hair color very well. I thought it would be perfect if we made them into a wreath, and now that I see it, it really does!"

"Is that so? Thank you so much, Li Yue."

Naxida smiled sweetly at Li Yue, her eyes fixed on Li Yue's eyes, as if trying to see the Great Tree King through them.

Hmm, the Great Tree King is watching me. I need to behave well and act like a good child!

Wendy was also happy to see Narcida's joyful expression. Wasn't the story of the Great Tree King and the Little Lucky Grass King meeting again a beautiful one?

"Alright, the wreath is done. Let's head back to Mondstadt. We've been running around Tokyo all morning, and although we've had some snacks, we haven't had a proper meal yet. Let's have lunch at Angel's Gift, it's on me."

"Great!"

Wendy immediately raised both hands in agreement.

"I want a bottle of cider!"

You're right, but that's Wendy's style. She can skip a meal, but she can't skip a drink!

"No problem, you can drink as much as you want today."

As Li Yue spoke, she drew her sword and slashed in front of her, directly opening the portal to the space gifted by the angels.

Wendy and Narcida were already familiar with each other, so they stepped directly through the portal into the Angel's Gift.

Diluc couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows as he looked at the portal that opened directly in front of the bar.

"If you would like to have a drink at the tavern, please come in through the main entrance."

Wendy waved her hand dismissively.

"Hey, Grandpa Lu, we're old acquaintances, no need to be so formal~~"

He walked straight to the bar, leaned against it without any regard for his image, and rested his right hand on the bar.

"Give me a bottle of cider first."
