"Wow~" Staring at these chubby, soft, and extremely cute little seahorses, Nashida's face clearly revealed an expression of excitement. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Yu Qi who was not far away.

"Um, can I touch them?"

Looking at Nashida, who looked expectant and seemed to have completely released her childlike nature, and who did not have the majestic look of a god at all, Yu Qi smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course."

"Great~" Hearing this, Nashida cheered, and before she finished her words, she shook her cute little feet and paddled through the water to swim towards the little seahorses.

Seeing Nashida coming, the seahorses did not panic. Instead, they looked at her curiously and then blew bubbles at her.

The soft bubbles flew slowly towards Nashida's cheek, then exploded with a 'pop'. The warmth was completely different from the feeling on the ground, and Nashida couldn't help laughing again.

With a wave of his hand, a slight current of water was created, which made the little seahorse's body sway left and right. It was really interesting.

Seeing Nashida happily playing with the little seahorse, Yu Qi also became interested. He swam over, picked up the little seahorse that was sleeping lazily, and started to knead it in his hands.

Although this sea area was created by Yu Qi, many of the creatures in it are unique to Teyvat. Even Yu Qi himself saw them for the first time. Facing such strange creatures, he was naturally curious.

Compared with the seahorses on Earth, these seahorses are much cuter, with soft and smooth skin and big watery eyes. When they are hit by the bubbles sprayed by their companions, they will blink a few times in grievance.

There is an X-shaped mark on the slightly upturned forehead, and a cross-shaped pattern on each side, just like a creature from a fairy tale.

Playing with it in his hand, he could feel a faint warmth, which surprised Yu Qi.

In this way, after playing with Nashida and the seahorse for a while and watching the seahorse digging bubbles, Yu Qi reluctantly pulled her to continue swimming towards the distance.

What is buried beneath the vast ocean is far beyond human imagination.

Wandering among shipwrecks, recovering lost treasures;

Wandering in the valley, picking up seafood you've never seen before;

Go deep into the dark caves and dig out the skeletons of long-extinct creatures from the accumulated silt;

Explore the underwater ruins, stroll through the ruins of the buildings, and defeat the mechanical creations of unknown civilizations...

Accompanying the jellyfish as they rise and fall on the waves, wearing them on their heads as hats;

Dancing in the ocean currents, it spit out water-colored notes;

Learn to swim on your back like a sea otter, showing your white belly and enjoying the warm and scorching sunshine.

The time in the dream world is longer than that in reality, but also faster.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Qi and Nashida's footprints were all over the ocean. In the sky, the sun was setting, and the afterglow dyed the sea surface a fiery red.

Sitting quietly on a smooth whale head, Nashida looked at the setting sun in the sky, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

"Thank you, Yu Qi, for creating such a beautiful and interesting world just for me." Looking sideways at Yu Qi, the childishness on Nashida's face slowly faded away, and she regained the maturity and wisdom that Yu Qi saw when they first met.

"I really had a lot of fun. In the five hundred years since I was born, I have never had such an experience."

"You're welcome. This is your world anyway, isn't it?" With a smile, Yu Qi turned his head to look at her and gently patted the head of the whale under him.

The huge whale gradually sank, carrying Yu Qi and the others back to the somewhat dim seabed.

At the moment when the sea water flooded her vision, Nashida blinked instinctively, and then found herself back to the starting point.

"Hmm~ I haven't had such a good time playing for a long time!" Yu Qi stretched hard, sat up straight on his own King Awakening Tree, and chuckled: "I'm actually a little tired after it's all over!"

"Are you tired? Then take a good rest." With a gentle smile, Nashida put her hands on her knees and tilted her head at Yu Qi.

"Like, just go to the bathroom or something!"

Chapter 125 Teachings from the Little Grass God

"Ah? Wait, what did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?" Looking up at Nashida on the tree in confusion, Yu Qi couldn't help but raise his hand to pick his ears.

"Go to the bathroom quickly? What does that mean?"

As he spoke, Yu Qi looked up at the traditional Xumi toilet not far away. It was a combination of gorgeousness, simplicity, refinement and roughness, and it looked awkward no matter how you looked at it. His expression became extremely weird.

He really couldn't figure out what Nashida's purpose was in saying "go to the toilet" at this time.

Could it be that it is her instinct as a plant that makes her crave fat... Ahem, don't let your imagination run wild, don't let your imagination run wild, maybe she really just means well!

Trying hard to suppress the complaints in his heart, Yu Qi turned to look at Nashida, hoping to get an explanation from her.

"Hmm?" Facing Yu Qi's strange gaze, Nashida looked even more puzzled. She tilted her head cutely and asked, "Don't people always say that you feel refreshed after going to the toilet?"

"I heard you say you were tired, so I just recommended you to go to the bathroom. Is that weird? Did I say something wrong?"

At the end of her speech, Nashida clenched her hands nervously, and looked at Yu Qi with a slightly panicked look, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally say something wrong and make Yu Qi dislike her.

After five hundred years of loneliness, she really didn't want to lose this almost miraculous 'real family'.

"Uh... this..." Looking at the aggrieved look of the Little Grass God, Yu Qi opened his mouth, and after a moment nodded reluctantly: "This can't be considered wrong. After going to the toilet, humans do feel refreshed and comfortable."

But before the grass god's eyes lit up and showed a happy expression, Yu Qi said tactfully: "That's right, this kind of words are not appropriate in the situation just now."

"For humans, going to the toilet is a relatively private behavior, so even if it is really comfortable, we will not share it with others."

"Oh, so that's how it is?" The little grass god opened his eyes wide and looked extremely surprised.

"So, where did you learn this common sense? Could it be that those people from Xumi Sect or the Institute of Teachings told you?"

At the end of his speech, Yu Qi pursed his lips, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Anyone who dares to talk about this kind of thing with Nashida, who looks only the size of a little girl... is either a pervert or a molester.

If he caught him, he would definitely let that person know what cruelty meant and what it meant to be cautious in words and deeds!

Not noticing the hidden emotion in Yu Qi's words, Nashida nodded her chin, thought for a moment and said, "I learned this from a dream."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and gently waved it in the air in front of her: "Just like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qi felt a black screen in front of his eyes. A mysterious force pulled at his consciousness, trying to pull him into another mysterious realm.

Without much resistance, Yu Qi obeyed Nashida's power. In a flash, his eyes lit up again, and he found himself in a void, surrounded by thick fog.

"Just like this, I learned a lot from children's dreams!" Nashida spoke softly, and as she spoke, countless strange pictures appeared in front of Yu Qi's eyes.

fragments and disorganized pieces;

Chaotic and distorted scenes;

Repeating and changing video...

People of all kinds, scenes, and objects of different sizes, intricate and chaotic existences kept appearing and piling up in this space. In just a moment, they occupied Yu Qi's entire field of vision.

And in places he couldn't see, more people and things continued to emerge, filling this boundless space.

"Where is this?" Looking at the scene he had never seen before with some surprise, Yu Qi looked up at Nashida and vaguely felt that the power she was using at the moment was not the authority of the World Tree or the power of the grass element.

Not to mention the spiritual power that was born from the authority of the World Tree.

This is the power of dreams, but it is not just the power of dreams. In other words, Nashida does not have the power of dreams in the first place.

Everything before her eyes was merely the product of another power that was superior to the power of dreams.

"The world of dreams, the gaps between dreams, the world that belongs to me." Smiling, Nashida seemed very satisfied with Yu Qi's surprised expression, and a little pride appeared on her face.

He looks a bit like a kid showing off his grades to the adults at home.

Muttering to himself, Yu Qi nodded, and then asked with some doubt: "It seems that what you are using now is not the power of the grass element, nor the authority of the world tree, right?"

"Yes." Nashida nodded, her expression gradually becoming serious: "Dreams are the direction of life flow. I have discovered the path of "life" from the power of the grass element."

"Then, through the power of the spirit, the power of 'Dream' was transformed."

"'Fantasy Dream'... I remember that there was a record of 'Dream Demon' in Liyue, right? Can different demons obtain the same power?"

"The Demon of Dreams? 'I' also know something about Him." Nodding, Nashida stretched out her hand and brushed across the void in front of her, and a beautiful figure sitting on the throne appeared in front of Yu Qi.

She has silver hair, starry eyes, and a peerless appearance. Her every move seems to carry a strange charm that captivates the heart. At first glance, it seems as if her figure is imprinted deep in the soul.

If Yu Qi did not possess spiritual power, and this was just an ordinary image, he might have been completely 'captured' by the Dream Demon.

"Although the Dream Demon God also possesses the power of 'illusion', the way He uses it is more inclined towards the direction of 'illusion'."

Nodding her hands, she seemed to understand the lethality of the Dream Demon. Nashida quickly put away his image and continued, "He is better at constructing dreams similar to 'illusions' through people's thoughts, memories and emotions."

"Gather the remaining 'possibilities' of people and direct all hopes to the direction you need, the only certainty of 'death'."

“So, although the power He and I use appear to be the same on the surface, in essence, they are in opposite directions.”

"Life, death..." Yu Qi muttered, as if he understood something, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

When I saw the gray mist, I remembered that I was in a dream world.

Yu Qi looked away as if nothing had happened, then looked at Nashida, thought for a moment, and asked, "Nashida, can you teach me how to use the power of 'Dream'?"

"If necessary, report..."

"Okay~" Before Yu Qi could finish his words, Nashida clapped her hands happily. Looking at her impatient look, it seemed that she had had this plan for a long time.

Reaching out and holding Yu Qi, they traveled among countless fragments, and Nashida's gentle words echoed in the space.

“Dreams are the continuation of life, the re-enactment of memories, and the fragments of the soul.”

"Memories and emotions are infinitely combined under external stimulation. Even if they are irrational, they can still continue normally in the dream world."

"Whether it's a human or a demon, from the moment they are born, the power of "wear and tear" follows them like a shadow."

"From new to old, from strong to weak, from life to death, without exception."

"And dreams, in most cases, are just fragments of memories and emotions that have been peeled off due to wear and tear. Under the stimulation of external emotions, they briefly emerge from the ocean of consciousness and are randomly combined."

"So, for most people, dreams can only be perceived when they are 'asleep'."

"And when they wake up, the ripples in the ocean of consciousness are calmed by subjective self-cognition, and everything that happened in the dream is left with only a vague outline."

As she spoke, Nashida grabbed a figure in the distance, ignoring the distance, and then picked up a blurry-looking scene fragment.

She gently clasped her hands together, stuffed the figure in her hands into the scene, and then squeezed them hard. When Nashida opened her palms, a dim light appeared on her palms.

"Just like that, that's the basis of the dream, a random person plus a random scene."

After saying this, Nashida picked up a small piece of memory from not far away and gently stuffed that bit of light into this memory.

"Finally, it is combined with an unknown and fragmented memory, and that is the beginning of people's dreams."

“There is no cause or end, only bizarre scenes and events. The so-called dream is such a chaotic system that even the self cannot control.”

As Nashida moved, the broken memory trembled twice, causing a transparent ripple, and finally turned into a gray seed.

Carefully burying the seed in a flowerpot that had appeared beside her, Nashida took out a frog-shaped kettle from another scene, humming a song as she began to water the flowerpot.

Watching Nashida's operation with interest, Yu Qi tentatively stretched out his hand to grab a figure in the distance. Unfortunately, he did not comprehend the power of "Illusion Dream" after all, and nothing happened after all the operations.

He coughed dryly in his heart, and under Nashida's gaze, who was trying not to laugh, Yu Qi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, then squatted down beside the flowerpot with her and looked at the moist soil in the pot.

"When will this thing sprout?"

"Well, it should be soon." Nashida, who looked a little chubby, said uncertainly, supporting her cheeks with her hands.

Then, looking at Yu Qi's puzzled eyes, he explained: "This is actually very normal. What I did is not magical."

“It’s just picking up some relatively intact fragments from the ocean of people’s consciousness, using them to piece together a seed that contains infinite possibilities, and then planting it.”

“Life is chaotic and unpredictable. Before everything happens, even I don’t know when this seed will sprout, what kind of plant it will grow into, what color of flower it will bloom, and what kind of fruit it will eventually bear.”

"It's possible that it will grow into an exquisite shell, or a dreamy crystal butterfly, or even a delicate mountain peak."

“Everything is unknown, so everything is possible. This is my ‘dream’.”

"So, you usually rely on this thing to kill time?" He asked subconsciously. Although he did not have the power of dreams, Yu Qi still had some vision.

The 'dream seed' created by Nashida does not belong to anyone. It is not called a dream, but more like giving conditions at random and letting it develop freely, creating a tiny new 'story'.

At first glance, he realized that if this thing wasn't used to kill time, he would go back and propose to Alicia.

"The mandrill tiger will take a nap in the forest, and the yak pack animals also need to chase and play. It's not surprising that I like this kind of thing."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them suddenly saw a fiery red sprout in the flowerpot in front of them, pushing out the soil, and then growing rapidly, turning into a... red reed? !

The slender reeds rose from the ground and grew to more than two people tall in the blink of an eye. Then, a bunch of flowers that looked like dog tails grew from the top of the reeds, bloomed, and withered.
