Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Recalling what was mentioned in the assessment meeting, Xie Yan's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the Abyss Cult was preparing to take action against the Wolf King and his men?

"It shouldn't have come to that point yet. Inazuma has merchant ships returning from Mond every day."

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yan focused his attention on Qinglai Island.

The adventurer team led by Yingmei has good mobility and has already purified the area of ​​Yueshi Village. The shogunate army is even faster, circling the island according to a predetermined route. Taking into account the time for clearing monsters and resting, it is roughly estimated that the work can be completed within two days.

"It's almost as planned. After the devil's resentment dissipated, the monsters on the island have become much weaker. It looks like I don't need to take action." Xie Yan retracted his gaze.

But at this time he found that Yingmei did not follow the others around, but stayed with him.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"fluorescent?"

"Ahem, it's like this. I used several great gods Luo Tianzheng in the battle just now, and injected a lot of divine power into the stone. Now the divine power is almost exhausted."

Ying said, turning her face slightly: "Besides... the first contract renewal time is coming soon, why not just renew it for me during the break."

Xie Yan frowned and asked, "Why are you injecting divine power into the stone?"

Are you deliberately wasting your divine power here because you have no place to use it normally?

Noticing Xie Yan's suspicious look, Ying was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She said angrily, "It's because you didn't explain the plan clearly. It's all your fault that I don't have divine power now. If you don't make up the contract for me, forget it."

Yes, she did not waste her divine power on purpose. It is normal for a beautiful girl who is usually very smart and quick to understand things to make a mistake accidentally, right?

Xie Yan looked at her deeply, and considering that even the wise god, the Great Compassion Tree King, could make mistakes sometimes, he reluctantly agreed with Yingmei's statement.

Little Paimeng covered her mouth and dared not say a word. She had seen with her own eyes how the Great Compassion Tree King controlled Xie Yan. Yingmei's ability to turn the tables had already reached some of her level, and she even held her head high to show her backbone.

really.

Xie Yan was shocked. He found that he had underestimated Yingmei. Even though she was very proactive in online games, she still had a bottom line in real life.

The Supreme Bone Treasure Technique - Put the blame on someone else.

"Okay, okay, I didn't explain it clearly. The adventurer team has just completed their mission. Let's go back to Pinghai Fort and take a rest in the warship."

"Hey, can we take a break now?"

"We were planning for the worst-case scenario, which is why we recruited adventurers to help. Now the situation is going well and the adventurers have completed their mission. We can just hand it over to the shogunate army from now on."

Yingmei nodded, this is to be lenient with the enemy.

Together with Yingmei, they called other adventurers and rushed towards the dock of Pinghaizhai.

The journey was rather boring, so Yingmei asked curiously, "According to Xie Yan's method, wouldn't it be possible to purify the demon's resentment in Liyue as well?"

"No, I can extract the resentment of Qinglai Island because it contains the power of thunder. If I want to do this in Liyue, I must have the power that those demon gods held when they were alive."

"Is that so... That's right, even Zhongli can't do anything about the demon's grudge."

"The demon's grudge is indeed tricky, but after several experiences, I think I have grasped the key. When I return to Xumi, I will ask the Great Compassion Tree King for advice."

Xie Yan recalled the first time he met Pinglong Diao Yixin. Its evil spirit power dissipated as its wish was fulfilled. Even Ying was very surprised at that time.

Then it was Thunderbird this time. After fulfilling his promise with A, his resentment was also appeased.

When Yingmei heard that he was going back to Xumi, her eyes immediately became alert: "You don't want to go back and bully the Great Compassion Tree King, do you?"

"Didn't you hear what I said last time? I have to defeat her before I can replenish her divine power."

"Hmph, don't even think about winning this time."

Ying snorted coldly. The last time Xie Yan launched a sneak attack without following martial ethics, it was only with the on-the-spot explanation of the Great Ci Tree King that they were able to achieve such a result.

This time, the Great Ci Tree King will definitely learn his lesson. How can he lose when a flying dragon is on his face?

Xie Yan was afraid that he would be tied up and beaten severely!

It’s a pity that Xie Yan wouldn’t take her there, otherwise she would definitely call Nashida over and let her see how her stinky brother was tortured.

Ah Xie glared at her with a knowing look, "Don't talk nonsense, go back and rest first. I have to make a cross-border call to the Great Compassion Tree King after I recover some of my divine power."

While the two were talking, they had already returned to the warship. It was already late at night. Little Paimon was yawning and was a little unsteady when flying. Ying was also a little sleepy and her eyelids were drooping.

Yingmei picked up Paimeng and went to her own lounge with Xie Yan.

Although it is called a lounge, there is actually not even a small bed inside. There is only a mat with a standard kettle and dry food next to it.

Ying was slightly disappointed, but didn't say much.

After all, this time they are only sailing from Inazuma Castle to Qinglai Island, which is not a far distance, so there is no need to activate large ships such as Mingshen and Mingzun. Everyone's strategic goal is to travel around the island to eliminate the resentment of the demon gods, so they are all preparing to camp outside to rest, and the lounge inside is of course rather ordinary.

After looking at Xie Yan who was kneeling in a meditative state, Ying gently put down Paimeng and lay down on the mat himself.

But perhaps because she had adapted to the life of a rich lady in the Kanjo Bugyofu, Ying tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep after lying down.

Xie Yan was woken up by her, and patted his thigh helplessly: "Do you want a knee pillow?"

Ying bit her lips lightly and stood there struggling for a long time, but when she thought that this was a treatment that even Xinhai, Yae Shenzi and even General Lei Dian had never enjoyed, she was still moved.

The pretty face of the blonde knight was slightly flushed as she lay on his knees, feeling the warmth from Xie Yan's body, and snorted proudly: "I just can't sleep, don't think too much, I won't lie down casually!"

"Yes, yes, the female knight is very strong-willed." Xie Yan patted her little butt.

Even though Xie Yan asked her to call him dad, they both maintained a certain tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of connecting online.

But Ying was ultimately changing into his shape, and after being slapped on the butt, she subconsciously wanted to turn over and change her position.

Yes, every time Xie Yan patted his heart like this, it meant it was time to change his moves.

Fortunately, Ying was awake at this time. She barely controlled herself and forced herself to close her eyes and rest.

Xie Yan gently touched Yingmei's little head, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, waiting for the Heart of the Demon God and the power of faith to restore his divine power... He would have some questions to confirm with the Great Compassionate Tree King later.

I do not know how long it has been.

Yingmei turned over lazily in her sleep.

But because she was resting her head on her knees, the turn over happened to cause her little head to hit a certain spot.

The familiar touch came, and Ying had a conditioned reflex again. She subconsciously pushed aside Xie Yan's clothes and started working in a daze.

When little Paimeng woke up, he saw Ying lying on Xie Yan's legs and working hard.

However, Xie Yan did not seem to notice anything unusual. He remained in a meditative state and was contacting the Great Compassionate Tree King.

22 The Great Tree King Controlled by His Daughter38/42

Xie Yan really didn't know what was happening in the outside world, and maintaining a meditative state was actually a helpless act for him.

If he was sober, he would definitely be stern when seeing Yingmei lying down on her own initiative... Well, nothing would change.

The main reason was that after this high-intensity battle, Xie Yan had very little divine power left, and Inazuma and Xumi were too far apart. Only by shutting off his perception of the outside world, calming his mind, and communicating with the World Tree through the power of dreams could he achieve a cross-border call.

Of course, for safety reasons, Xie Yan did not block his body's feelings. Once he sensed danger, he would return in time.

Uh, why do I feel a little comfortable now? It's like soaking in a hot spring.

Xie Yan never smokes, but through the feeling of his body, he inexplicably recalled the satisfied expression on Hua Sanli's face when he puffed on his pipe.

This white-haired vixen is good at smoking traditional cigarettes. She not only enjoys the pleasure of puffing out smoke at the end, but also pays more attention to the entire smoking process.

A slight blush appeared on her beautiful face, and her slender fingers leisurely held the pipe. She first pursed her moist lips and took a puff to test it. After feeling the mellow aroma of tobacco, she held the pipe with her fingers and began to smoke hesitantly.

Wuhu Wuhu is really satisfying!

Ahem, smoking is not a good habit. If someone smokes in front of Inazuma, Xie Yan will definitely beat her up.

It was just that Xie Yan constructed a picture in his mind through the connection between his consciousness and his body, but he didn't know who was smoking... He clearly felt that he was the cigarette being smoked, and the smoker was someone else.

Outrageous!

But at this time, his consciousness was separated from his body, and all his feelings were concentrated together, and he was not sure whether his judgment was correct.

Thinking that Yingmei was protecting him outside, and not feeling threatened, Xie Yan didn't take it too seriously. His consciousness seemed to turn into a stream, quickly spreading along the flow of the earth's veins towards the depths of the World Tree.

He was still very relieved about Yingmei, but it seemed that he had taken too good care of this girl. She used to be able to sleep in the open air, but now she would toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep even when lying on the mat. However, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her and put his lap on her.

As for subduing the female knight?

When in Yueshi Village, Xie Yan had to endure her Supreme Bone Treasure Technique. This guy's backbone might be no less than that of the Great Compassion Tree King. It would take day after day of hard work to successfully defeat him.

Just as he was thinking this, Xie Yan's consciousness finally broke through a certain barrier and came to the inner space of the World Tree again.

However--

The consciousness body suddenly felt a comfortable feeling of being surrounded by warmth, and Xie Yan couldn't help but shiver.

Fortunately, he had his specialty [Perseverance] to protect him, and the strange feeling disappeared with a thought.

Humph, I, Xie Yan, am a man of integrity and not interested in women. How could I be running outside in slippers in the middle of the night, breathlessly panting, with a bad cell phone signal?

Xie Yan held his head high and put his palms on the World Tree to connect with the Great Compassion Tree King.

In the real world, Yingmei, who was concentrating on her work, pursed her lips in confusion. In her impression, this cigarette should be able to exhale smoke after two rounds of smoking, so why was there no movement today?

It must have been Paimon's doing!

Ying muttered something subconsciously and continued to work, scaring Paimon next to her so much that she trembled. She originally wanted to wake up the sleepwalking Ying.

Is this really something she can watch for free?

She doesn't want to attend the developer conference!

.....

Xumi, Teaching Order.

Although there are problems with the starry sky of the continent of Teyvat, it also follows certain rules. Inazuma is late at night, while Sumeru is noon.

But even with the scorching sun, Xumi City was still bustling with activity.

This is not only reflected in the large number of desert people who have poured in, but more importantly, the residents are much more relaxed in their conversation than before.

Although Xumi has not closed its borders, the Ministry of Education has been suppressing folk literature and art in recent years, as if the decline of Xumi and its inability to produce scientific research results are related to these literary and artistic works.

This is undoubtedly suppressing human nature. As Nashida personally lifted the ban on literature and art, the vitality of the people of Xumi seemed to be liberated, and there was a trend of "Renaissance".

Referring to the progress in Fontainebleau, the next thing to come was the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.

Kavi and Elhaisen walked up until they arrived at the Square of the Temple of the Lord, and the surroundings became quiet.

The square of the House of the Decrees used to be filled with scholars from the six major schools, but with the update of the rules of the void, scholars can no longer get the allocation of computing power and knowledge unless they are conducting extremely important research. Most people are frowning and find it difficult to adapt, let alone discuss academic matters with others.

This phenomenon lasted for nearly a week without any change.

Kavi curled his lips and said, "Although it is indeed difficult to conduct experiments without the void, why do I feel that they are preparing to inquire about the hobbies of the new sage before writing a paper."

"Hasn't Xumi been like this for years? Bad habits can't be easily changed." Elhaisen said solemnly, "There's nothing we can do about it. If you want to gain more wealth and status in Xumi, you either have to do business or make academic contributions. The academic evaluation system of the Academy of Teachings has a lot of problems. It's basically a paper-only system, and power is highly concentrated in the hands of sages and mentors."

It was fine when King Mahabodhi was alive. There were gods who regularly guided academics and checked papers, so no matter how bold the sages were, they did not dare to put them into practice. But after those sages imprisoned the new gods, they became more and more daring and made Sumeru a mess.

Scholars of the Life Theory School invented fertilizers such as Fertilizer and Benefit that could greatly increase production without side effects. After graduation, they basically worked in front-line departments such as forest patrol and medical treatment, making great contributions to Xumi. However, they will not be the Great Sage, and candidates for other important positions such as the Grand Secretary have nothing to do with the Life Theory School. It is wrong no matter how you think about it.

The only thing the House of the Lords did well was to distribute supplies to ordinary people through the void, thus providing free medical care and basic living security.

"According to Xumi's previous rules, even Ms. Alice would have to hand over two packs of cigarettes to graduate when she comes to the Academy of Teachings, and her name isn't even listed as the first author of the thesis." Elhaisen shook his head slightly.

This is the traditional culture of Xumi!

This scared Kavi, who always liked to join in the fun: "Hey, Elhaisen, is this a topic we can talk about? Even if you are now the acting sage, you can't say it so clearly."

"Before the prince left, Senor had arrested many people. During this period, many more people were arrested based on the evidence provided by those arrested. It is no longer a secret. Besides, Lord Grass God is also working on establishing a new academic system. Forest rangers and medical personnel will receive due treatment."

"I have no interest in the actions of the discipline officers. They won't bother me anyway. But the prince... the Humayi family thanked the prince for saving Dina Zedai and even asked me how much it would cost to build a wonder for the prince."

As he spoke, Kavi looked up in awe. The huge sphere formed by the Earth-shattering Star was still suspended in the air.

If Lord Cao Shen brought everyone academic guidance, then Xie Yan brought everyone an unprecedented sense of security.

They may not have thought it was a big deal before, but after being scolded by Xie Yan, they realized how terrible it was to have no army. The subsequent arrival of the Doctor and the Ice God made the people even more terrified.

Fortunately, the powerful enemies have been dealt with by the prince, and even the unruly desert people have become as docile as sheep. Originally, many rainforest residents were worried that there would be many conflicts if they migrated here.

This is definitely not something that can be achieved by kindness, and it can only gain superficial submission at best. The people of the desert will still think of themselves as the descendants of the Red King rather than the people of Xumi, and will still be obsessed with unifying the desert with the remains of the Red King or the Goddess of Flowers, and will unscrupulously cooperate with the Fatui.

But now, those desert people have actively chosen to integrate into the rainforest, trying to label themselves as Sumeru people in order to seek protection from the gods.

Of course, there are some stubborn elements among them, and that is why Elhaisen is here today.

All evil will be brought to justice!

He and Kavi didn't say anything more. They entered the Palace of Wisdom and took the elevator all the way up to the former office area of ​​the Great Sage, which was now presided over by Nashida.

"Lord Grass God!" The two men bowed slightly.
