At the same time, he specially used the void terminal to play an audio clip, which was full of the great Lord Little Auspicious Grass King praising her, as if Xumi would suffer some huge loss if she did not accept it.

As a result, she lost her original leisurely job without knowing why, and was assigned to serve as the director of the newly established United Front Department.

Now her daily work is mainly to unite all parties in Xumi, and at the same time lead the research on the thoughts of the Great Compassionate Tree King to ensure that everyone in the new era can accept the "correct" thoughts of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Therefore, important visitors like the Wangsheng Hall, who were not official Liyue personnel, were handed over to her to handle.

"So Sister Yilin is the official from Xumi who came to connect us this time." After listening to Buyer's explanation, Hu Tao was obviously a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person they were looking for was so far away and yet so close at hand.

"But according to Sister Yilin, aren't you the Minister? Shouldn't you be as busy as Ningguang? How come you still have time to go shopping with us?"

In her impression, such people should be very busy, so how could they have time to come and greet them in person? There weren't any important figures in their Hall of Rebirth, so how could they have such a great honor?

"Ahem, of course it's for the friendship between our two peoples."

Comrade Buyer seemed a little embarrassed about this. He couldn't say that she did this just to slack off.

Since she took office, she has been forced to take on many other duties in addition to her departmental duties.

For example, she has to write articles in newspapers every day to confront the old forces, and find ways to ease the conflicts between the holders of the Eye of God and ordinary people. Even some scientific and technological research and development work will ask her to serve as a consultant, keeping her busy all day long.

And every time she asked Elhaisen why there was so much work, he seemed to be prepared and always found various reasons to put her off.

"Comrade Yilin, you do have this problem, but this matter was decided unanimously by everyone. I can't decide it alone. Why don't we wait for the meeting to discuss it."

So she waited for the meeting with doubts, and everyone in the meeting felt that adjustments should be made, but now due to shortage of staff, they could only let her wait until there were enough staff and then reduce her burden.

"Comrade Yilin, we have discussed your issue and it should be resolved, but we are short of manpower right now. Lord Dacishu King also said that those who are capable should work harder, so you will have to work harder for a while."

So she waited for a long time, and when the staff was expanded, she went to find Elhaisen again, but this time Elhaisen came up with a new reason.

"Comrade Yilin, Lord Grass God was involved in this matter, so even if we agree, you still have to ask for Lord Grass God's opinion before we dare to make this decision."

So she sent a message to Nashida using the void terminal on the spot, but for some reason, the other party replied with a "read" message and never responded again.

From then on, she finally figured out the reason why she kept hitting a wall, so she simply stopped trying and waited silently for Nashida's return.

She swore that when Nashida came back, she would let her feel what a mother's love was like.

But now, she certainly would not say these things in front of Hu Tao, so she fooled Hu Tao with the reason of "creating a new model of people-to-people cooperation between the two countries for the common welfare of the two peoples."

This touched Hu Tao so much that he immediately promised to provide the best service quality to the people of Xumi.

During this process, Zhongli just sat there alone, watching his old friend fool his own hall master with no joy or sadness.

Because he knew very well that as long as he didn't speak, trouble would not come to him.

In his opinion, it would be better to be a retired old man who drinks tea and listens to books every day than to live a fulfilling life like Buyer.

Chapter 145: Preparations for visiting Liyue?

After Buyer revealed his identity, Hu Tao's enthusiasm increased instead of diminishing. Not only did she not feel alienated by Buyer's identity, but she also eagerly talked about the matter of Wangsheng Hall opening a branch in Xumi.

Of course, this was exactly what Boyer wanted, and he immediately decided on the general content of the cooperation. The whole conversation was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

After the discussion, seeing that it was getting late, Buyer personally took the two to the best hotel in Xumi City for their accommodation.

"Huh? I can actually turn on the lights in the room by pressing a switch."

Standing at the door of her room, Hu Tao was pressing a switch repeatedly, and the lights in the room flickered on and off with her movements, which surprised her.

She had heard about this new type of lamp called electric light when she was in Port Omos, but when she actually saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel excited.

After all, there is no such thing in Liyue. Both the Qun Yu Pavilion and ordinary people are still using oil lamps.

"This is our latest scientific research achievement. It is much more convenient than the previous lamps."

After opening the door for Zhongli and waiting for him to put the bags of things into the house, Buyer explained to Walnut the origin of the electric light.

Since the last experiment was a great success, this new type of lighting fixture, the electric lamp, has gradually been promoted in Xumi City.

However, due to the limited production and immature technology, at present, apart from street lights, only major public facilities and a few lucky families in Xumi City have installed electric lights, and the rest are still waiting in line.

As the best hotel in Xumi City and also the best hotel in all of Xumi, it naturally has electric lights installed, which gave Hu Tao a chance to play with the switch.

"Sister Yilin, can you sell this light bulb to others? It's so convenient that I want to buy a set for our Wangsheng Hall as well."

To be honest, it was impossible for Hu Tao not to be attracted by this kind of lamp that can illuminate the house as bright as day with just the flick of a switch.

But she also knew that even in Xumi there would not be many of these things, otherwise she would not have seen electric lights only after entering Xumi City, so she did not hold much hope for this.

"Unfortunately, we at Xumi currently have no plans to sell this kind of thing to the outside world." As expected, Buyer gave a negative answer without even thinking about it.

"Besides, the reason why this light is called a light is because it needs electricity to light up. In Liyue, where there is no electricity, it will be useless even if I buy it for you."

You know, electricity is not something that just anyone can handle.

Even in today's Xumi, with many scholars and the help of Nashida, the power grid it has built can only be used to carry a low-burden light bulb. As for further applications, it is still under research and development.

Therefore, even if this light bulb is bought for Hu Tao, it will probably only be used as a decoration, and the kind that has no artistic value.

"Is that so? Then there's really nothing we can do." After listening to Boyer's explanation, even though Walnut felt a little regretful, she also understood that this was impossible and gave up the plan directly.

But the next moment, she adjusted her mood and started pushing Buyer and Zhongli out of the room.

"Now that everything has been moved in, Sister Yilin and Guest Zhongli should go and have a rest. I can take care of myself."

Before the two could respond, Kurumi had already driven them to the door of the room, and then locked them outside with a slam.

In this regard, after living in Xumi for so many days, Zhongli had no idea what Hu Tao wanted to do now, and could only sigh helplessly.

Based on previous experience, Hu Tao would definitely start chatting with her group of netizens again and would not care about this troublesome old man.

The only one who can accompany him now is Buyer next to him.

"Come on, I'll take you around Xumi City at night."

Seeing Zhongli's interesting expression, Buyer invited Zhongli while feeling happy about his friend's change.

Five hundred years have passed since they last met. During these five hundred years, both Xumi and Liyue have changed dramatically.

It just so happens that Hu Tao has to go online and has no time to take care of them, so why not take this opportunity to go out for a walk and catch up with the old times.

"So good."

Faced with Buyer's invitation, Zhongli certainly had no reason to refuse. With a nostalgic look in his eyes, he agreed directly.

In this way, the two old men left the hotel while talking and chatting, while enjoying the scenery of Xumi City under the moon, they began to discuss the future of Teyvat.

"How about it? After seeing the current Xumi, do you have any different ideas than before?"

Stopping on the high platform in front of the Palace of Wisdom and looking at the twinkling lights of Xumi City below, Buyer asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

As the god of wisdom, she was very curious about how her old friend felt when faced with such earth-shaking changes.

"The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is heading down an unimagined path. Facts have proven that your successor is not much worse than you."

After thinking for a while, Zhongli gave his final answer. As expected, he thought highly of Nashida.

"Of course, after all, she is my precious daughter, so she won't be any worse."

After listening to Zhongli's evaluation, Buyer nodded proudly, expressing his approval.

In her opinion, even though this little cotton jacket has some leaks in some places, it is still what she is most proud of.

"I have talked with her before. Looking back now, many of her views are still thought-provoking, especially on the relationship between human rule and divine rule, which has given me a lot of inspiration."

Thinking back to the previous conversation in the underground space, he had not expected that just a meeting that he had thought of on a whim would bring such a big change to the future trajectory of Liyue.

This time, not only did he not fake his death, he also personally planned the reform of Liyue, pulled the immortals out of the sacred mountain, and participated in the governance of Liyue.

"Yes, sometimes even I am amazed by her wonderful ideas." Boyer also felt deeply about this topic, and even made a lot of jokes about it when she had just woken up.

"Speaking of this, little Narcida told me something some time ago."

Buyer patted her head with her hand, feeling a little embarrassed. She had been so busy these days that she had forgotten about such things. This was really not her style.

"She wants me to ask you a question on her behalf. She wants to make an official visit to your Liyue on behalf of Xumi. I wonder if Lord Rock King can agree to it?"

Looking at Zhongli with a somewhat naughty smile, Buyer understood that his little bastard must be trying to cause trouble again.

"Okay." After thinking for a while, Zhongli finally agreed to Nashida's request, but the next moment he also raised his own questions.

"Did she tell you what she was going to do this time?"

"Then I don't know. How can a mother care what her daughter does?"

Chapter 146 Double the Happiness

"So who are you anyway? Why did you fly down from the sky so fast? And you look so much like Narcida?"

When Nashida just separated from the ten thousand mother trees and returned to the sea of ​​nectar flowers, she happened to run into Paimon who was questioning a white-haired loli.

Judging from the wide-eyed look on the faces of the flower spirits surrounding them and Ying, it was obvious that this was their common question.

The reason is simple, it's just that this loli's appearance is too surprising, with her silver-white hair, white and green lotus skirt, and the familiar pair of elf pointed ears. If it weren't for her pair of golden vertical pupils, I'm afraid anyone would mistake her for Nashida.

"I have no obligation to explain this to you. Now that Nashida is here, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"

Faced with Paimon's questioning and the flower spirits surrounding her, the white-haired loli seemed very unhappy.

After all, she came all the way from Qianhe Desert, and right after arriving, she was surrounded by these guys. Even the yellow-haired guy was shouting "Are you okay?" and wanted to pick her up.

This made her very angry. She was once a giant elemental dragon that conquered all lands, but today she was almost carried like a princess by a tiny human. How outrageous!

Originally, she thought something big had happened. The crack that had not changed for hundreds of years was actually fluctuating so violently, so she hurried over here.

When we got there, we found out that Nashida could solve the problem by herself. Not only could she solve it, she also closed the crack directly. I really don't know how she was able to fight against the external forces.

You know, even she, the current Grass Dragon King, would be frightened when facing the extremely domineering otherworldly power, not to mention that Nashida is just a small demon.

If she had known that Nashida had such ability, why would she do anything? Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and surf the Internet?

It's not like now that she is surrounded by this group of weak guys, but she can't fight them or talk to them. It's really frustrating.

Fortunately, after such a long time, the real culprit finally showed up, and she no longer had to face these troublesome guys.

"Please stop making things difficult for Apep. She's not good at talking to others."

With an unstoppable smile on her face, Narcida opened a passage for Apep to escape the siege.

To be honest, she didn't expect that Apep's reaction when he faced other people for the first time after staying at home for so many years would be so cute.

That hesitant expression, coupled with that cute little face, is really tempting.

Didn’t you see that after the misunderstanding was resolved, Ying’s expression when looking at the two little badminton balls became a little strange?

"Nassida, what is her relationship with you?"

However, Paimon didn't want to care about so much. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Nashida again, she finally couldn't help but ask again.

She has decided that no matter who Apep is, she will give this guy with a bad attitude an ugly nickname!

"She...she is my sister, I guess." Hearing Paimon's somewhat frustrated voice because no one had paid attention to her for a long time, Nashida thought for a while and finally gave Apep the identity of her sister.

This way, Apep's pride as a dragon can be satisfied, and a plausible explanation can also be provided for why the two of them are so similar.

"Sister, you are a magnanimous person. This is the first time they meet you, so don't bother with them." Nashida winked at Apep and considerately gave Apep a way out.

"Hmph, that's good enough. For my sister's sake, I won't mind your offense." As expected, under Nashida's "sister" offensive, Apep's tone softened.

No matter how arrogant she was in the past, now as Nashida's dependent, she was still willing to listen to her.

"What! Nashida, aren't you the Goddess of Grass? How come you have a sister?"

Although Apep's problem was solved, Paimon had more and more doubts. She had never heard that the little Lucky Grass King had any sister.

"What are you talking about? Who says that a Grass God can't have a sister? I really like my sister."
