Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

She is a king, but she lost to a red-haired female passerby?

If Ni Lu saw through the void terminal that she recognized Lei Dianying as her sister, she would probably become rebellious.

But she had to admit that Ni Lu was very powerful. Ni Lu actually defeated her, the Bull King, as a great bull master. This guy was so terrifying, but it was a good thing that he didn't make any three-year agreement with her.

With this protagonist template, even if Nilu becomes Cole, suffers defeats all the way, and has a rough life, she may give birth to a demon fetus after hundreds of defeats, and become the Bull Emperor of Chaos after achieving enlightenment.

Perhaps, you can consider forming a blooming team with Nilu?

.....

Xie Yan didn’t know about the sudden rise of the red-haired female passerby. After returning to the team, he focused on the training of forest rangers.

Nashida and Buyer seemed very relaxed after his arrival. In fact, they cherished the time spent with him and were unwilling to handle official business while they were spending time with each other. But given Xumi's current situation, although the two of them were not as busy as Ganyu and Qin, it would definitely not be too easy for them either.

On this point, they agreed with Ying's idea. Everyone was tacitly maintaining this complex relationship and was unwilling to break the balance.

As the center of the network, Xie Yan felt bad when he saw everyone backing down, and wanted to do his best to help them relieve their worries.

"Kole, how many new forest rangers have been added?" Xie Yan looked at the green-haired girl beside him.

He had just put in a lot of effort and finally promised to take special care of her at the next academic exchange conference. Only then did Cole give up his pursuit of academics.

At this time, Xie Yan could already sense that since Cole attached so much importance to academics, under her training, his daughter would most likely become a scientist.

"Well... because of the promotion of the new decree and your presence, many people in Xumi signed up to join the army and the forest rangers, and there are also many desert people." Kelai looked around, "But the dead zone has disappeared, and the shortage of forest rangers is not very large. Under the advice of Master Tinari, we have absorbed some newcomers with experience in wild survival."

Speaking of this, Kelai's eyes were filled with admiration and attachment. Xie Yan was the person who had entered her heart and he was also the hero who saved Xumi. Every time she saw Xie Yan's policies bringing changes to Xumi, she would feel proud.

Although she felt a little resentful that Xie Yan had forgotten about her several times at critical moments, Ke Lai always felt very satisfied. She was very happy to be able to stay with Xie Yan like this.

Uh, why is my hair turning green lately?

Fortunately, the arrival of her best friend Amber brought some comfort to Cole. Although she was a born sufferer, she felt like she was on a higher level when facing Amber.

No, no, no, it would be too unfair to Amber to say that. Although Xie Yan had the most special position in her heart, her hedgehog-like defenses were slowly melted down by Amber bit by bit!

But the more he thought about it, the more guilty Cole felt. Forget it, if he had a child in the future, he would give her a name related to Amber, so that she would have a sense of involvement.

According to the descriptions in the Inazuma light novels that Cole read, this is called "the child takes your surname."

The girl's eyes filled with infinite affection made Xie Yan slightly stunned. He felt that Ke Lai's mentality seemed somewhat similar to Xin Hai's, which made him lovable.

Gently rubbing Kelai's little head, as the girl squinted her eyes in happiness, Xie Yan continued: "Professionals do professional things. I believe in Tinari's judgment."

While the two were talking, the instructors at the training ground, who were also several veteran forest rangers, were teaching the trainees on the spot to identify the flora and fauna of the rainforest, followed by archery and wilderness survival training.

This can be done because the training grounds, like the military camps, are located outside Xumi City. After all, the range of work of a forest ranger is very broad. Maintaining trade routes and guiding travelers are only the most basic. Even if there is no dead zone now, the surrounding land vein environment must be explored.

After the initial training, each of them was assigned an intern teacher and a patrol route, becoming an apprentice ranger like Cole.

As for Ke Lai, she came here to serve as the assistant to the class teacher, responsible for answering the questions of new students.

"From this perspective, I am the most redundant one?" Xie Yan touched his chin. The various reports from below made him think that he was indispensable for this training, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that it was the same with or without him.

He didn't know any survival knowledge in the rainforest, nor did he know the routes to the villages. The most he could do was teach some archery, but most rangers were archers, so they could teach themselves.

Shit, it’s the traditional culture of Xumi again?

Are we expecting him to make the classic statement “The key issue is to find the key to the problem”?

Xie Yan suddenly realized that everyone was praising him again. The rule of man in Xumi over the past five hundred years had obviously given rise to many problems.

But if you think about it carefully, even a theocratic kingdom has to take political influence into consideration. Although the gods do not have to fight for power, their subjects certainly hope that the gods can pay more attention to the kingdom.

For example, teaching basic archery, whether taught by Xie Yan himself or by ordinary rangers, even if the content is the same, the inspiring effect it brings to the country is completely different. Faith is gradually deepened in such details.

"Moreover, the imparting of skills by gods is actually a manifestation of a country's strength. We really need to take this seriously. After the shogunate's garrison is stabilized, I will come to Xumi to teach them swordsmanship." Xie Yan thought.

The level of faith in Liyue and Inazuma is extremely high. In addition to the fact that gods often appear, the bigger reason is that the source of the country's power system and historical culture are the gods themselves. This is the foundation of the country.

It is not impossible to be a hands-off boss like Wendy, but that will give the people the feeling of living in a non-nuclear country. It happens that other countries on the mainland all have nuclear weapons, which is very embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan took Cole and Amber on a tour around the area and finally came to the shooting range.

Seeing other students looking over one after another, Xie Yan signaled Ke Lai to step forward and demonstrate first.

Being stared at by so many people, the socially anxious Cole stood there at a loss, but seeing the encouraging looks from Xie Yan and Amber, a firmness flashed in the girl's purple eyes. She took a deep breath and came to the center of the shooting range.

Picking up the hunting bow and arrow for practice, Cole bent the bow and arrow with familiarity, held his breath and shot an arrow that hit the center of the bull's eye.

"Wow, Cole is so awesome!" Amber's cheers came from behind.

As a fellow archer, she could see that Cole had worked hard on this aspect. Moreover, the girl who once kept people at a distance now had the courage to perform so perfectly under the watchful eyes of everyone. Cole had really grown a lot.

Xie Yan observed carefully from the side. Cole's archery skills came from Tinari, and his foundation was quite solid. He could teach her some techniques of Tengu archery.

He smiled and encouraged Kelai, then taught him step by step and introduced the tricks: "To maintain the trinity of heart, bow and arrow, the key is the rhythm of breathing."

Although the girl, Kelai, was illiterate, she was not stupid and quickly grasped the key.

But their bodies were too close, and feeling the warmth of Xie Yan's skin, Cole's breathing became much more rapid, and it was difficult for him to control the rhythm according to his instructions. But at this time, there was a large group of people watching around him, and the anxious Cole's face suddenly turned red.

"Kole is too shy." Xie Yan was a little surprised.

But think about it, Cole has been suffering from magic scale disease, had no playmates in her childhood, and was later sent to the Fatui's experimental base. This kind of ordinary physical contact is already an extremely intimate act for her.

If she was really hit by a beast of burden, Xie Yan doubted whether she would just roll her eyes, stick out her tongue, and make scissor hands to complete the stigmata set. She was really as innocent as a victim.

No, not really. Would anyone really faint after being hit by a beast of burden?

But even a simple sticking like this wouldn't work for Kelai. She really needed proper training. Otherwise, with Kelai's weak personality, Xie Yan suspected that everyone was busy partying while she was the only one standing by with her fists clenched, watching and awakening her weird habit.

"But the ranks of Xumi's people are relatively low, and the Great Compassion Tree King is obviously not able to let go. I'm afraid I have to take Kelai to Inazuma to participate in the academic exchange conference and let the Son of God show her the value of the fox clan."

Speaking of this, Xie Yan also remembered that he wanted to ask Hua Sanli for the male version of the fox clan's secret technique to suppress the Son of God. He thought that the other party would definitely agree, and he would not use it on her anyway.

When she finds out that she has used her secret technique to completely cure the Son of God, she will surely be very pleased, right?

Xie Yan loosened his arms and let Ke Lai practice on his own. The girl then breathed a sigh of relief. Although her face was still red, she was able to perform normally.

Afterwards, Xie Yan taught Cole advanced techniques such as the chain arrows based on this.

In fact, he wanted to give Cole some special lessons, teaching her how to incorporate some techniques of using grass elemental power into archery, but other students didn't have the Eye of God, and it would seem a bit biased on his part, so he had to pat Cole on the back of the head three times, hinting that he would preach and receive fluids tonight.

"Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Cole looked at him angrily. Didn't he behave quite well just now?

Xie Yan winked at her, but Ke Lai still didn't understand what he meant.

Amber next to him was getting anxious. She was very pleased with Cole's growth, but how could he not understand such a simple hint?

Also, Cole's dressing style needs to be improved. The two of them happened to agree to go shopping after the afternoon training. At that time, I will pick out some nice clothes for Cole, just like picking out a black silk maid outfit for You!

Uh, wait, something feels wrong.

But seeing that Kelai was still standing there in a daze, Amber ignored the fact that she was becoming a victim. She quickly walked to Kelai and whispered in her ear, "His Highness Xie Yan asked you to go to him to learn martial arts at three o'clock in the morning."

Cole suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but hold Amber's hand tightly.

Thank you, Amber!

I will make sure you feel involved!

She continued to practice archery while also fulfilling her duties as a class assistant to help the newcomers.

Amber could see that Cole was still a little shy. She would always fiddle with the hair by her ears when others thanked her, but this was her normal reaction.

Before they met, Amber was actually worried that Cole would be obsessed with imitating her, but now she is finally completely relieved.

Xie Yan noticed the relief on her face and said with emotion: "Amber, thank you for Ke Lai's matter. If it weren't for you, Ke Lai would probably still be wandering outside now."

"Ah, Kelai and I are good friends, this is as it should be." Amber didn't think she had done anything, instead she praised Xie Yan: "In fact, it was you, Your Highness Xie Yan, who really changed her."

Xie Yan always had the illusion that "Amber, look carefully, this is how Cole uses it."

But he quickly calmed down: "I didn't do anything, I just hope she can live happily and forget the past."

Some people use their childhood to heal their entire life, while others use their entire life to heal their childhood.

Cole undoubtedly belongs to the latter. The human experiments conducted by the Fatui were already crazy enough, and later when Cole and her companions escaped from the laboratory, they were ruthlessly abandoned by others because they encountered danger, which made her no longer trust others.

"Kole..." Amber looked at her gently, then retracted his gaze, "Kole has walked out of the shadow of the past, but speaking of it, Your Highness Xie Yan, is there still any remnant of the demon in her?"

At the beginning, the Fatui deceived Cole's mother and told her that they could cure the Demon Scale Disease, which made her hand Cole over to them. After injecting the residue of the demon, Cole was able to suppress the Demon Scale Disease with this power.

But the harm of the demon remnants is actually more serious, which is extremely destructive to the body and mind. Cole later went to Mond to take revenge and kill those Fatui who conducted human experiments, which is the so-called Blackfire Case. Later, the Knights contacted Senor, and then temporarily sealed the demon remnants.

Xie Yan naturally knew the inside story, so he said that the doctor was a beast. With the amount of demonic power he had collected, who knows how many such human laboratories there were. Moreover, Cole's mother was killed by them because she was in the way.

He patted Amber's shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry, Cole is fine now. There isn't a lot of demon residue in her body."

This is quite different from the original plot. The Great Compassion Tree King was full of divine power at the time, and he wiped out the remnants of the demon in Cole's body.

Of course, if the number is as large as Xiao's, it would be more troublesome. Even Xie Yan, who has experience in purifying Qinglai Island, cannot guarantee success, because the resentment of the demons in his body is too much and too complicated.

But he still had to try. If Xie Yan returned to Liyue, he would go to him first to see the situation.

After chatting with Amber for a few more words, Xie Yan gave some pointers to the students present, and then took Nashida and the Great Compassion Tree King to the next location.

This is the northern edge of Xumi City, where Dixia and other root members now work.

The Roots are Nashida's direct subordinates, and their role is similar to that of the Imperial Guards. They are responsible for dark tasks such as incorporating desert tribes and killing traitors.

But Dixia is an upright person, and she is truly fighting for Xumi. Even those picky scholars cannot find any fault with her.

Xie Yan came here this time to counsel her before leaving and see if he could help in any way, but unexpectedly, when the three of them walked into the resident office, Di Xia was reading a newspaper next to them.

Xie Yan took a casual glance and found that the news column of the Steam Bird News had been updated again. This time it was mainly about Liyue. The large number of dragon lizards that emerged from Liyue’s South Gate had been wiped out by the Thousand Rocks Army, but the remnants of the demons were still scattered everywhere, causing a lot of trouble to the trade routes and residents’ lives.

Looking further down, it is still about Liyue, telling the speech of Zhongli, the only emperor of Liyue, saying that the emperor's policies are not completely flawed, which caused a heated debate.

61 Four-person team ranking, the Great Kind Tree King breeds the Demon God

"A Rock King named Heizi appeared in Liyue. Can such a thing be reported in the news?" Dixia leaned forward slightly and scanned the newspaper carefully. This thing was still very rare for the people of the desert.

The academic level of the House of the Order has been declining over the past five hundred years, but the knowledge blockade of the desert has become increasingly severe. Even children's enlightenment picture books have to be smuggled through other channels, and being able to read is considered a talent in the tribe.

The more this happened, the more Dixia could appreciate her father's dedication to her. This guy was obviously not her biological father, but...

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but at this moment, she noticed Xie Yan and the others approaching, and quickly stood up and saluted as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Lord Grass God, Prince, and...Princess!"

This seems to be a family of three traveling, but Dixia is well aware of the relationship and must not make mistakes in seniority. Otherwise, if the princess is mistaken for the mother of Lord Grass God, both parties will surely be embarrassed.

Uh, this princess suddenly appeared from nowhere. Dixia thought the princess would be Cole or the red-haired female passerby.

Being looked at by Dishia, Nashida proudly puffed out her chest, and her eyes looking at the Great Tree King beside her gradually turned into admiration for her brother's wife, but the next second she realized that she had surrendered to her mother, and quickly patted her little face.

Nashida, you can't continue to degenerate like this. From today on, you must give up your hobby of watching Shura Field and set a good example for your nieces.

Let’s mark today as day 0!

The Great Compassion Tree King was relieved to see that his daughter had finally calmed down. She had originally imagined a family of five and had almost excluded Nashida, who was contaminated by forbidden knowledge. Now it seemed that she could still keep the child.

But today's trip was mainly about Xie Yan, so the mother and daughter didn't say much and kept their eyes on him.

Xie Yan’s gaze was still fixed on the newspaper. He saw Liyue’s current foreign policy in the words of the little black man Zhongli.

“As expected, it is still unresolved…” Xie Yan touched his chin. Liyue did not choose to break up with the Kingdom of Winter after all. Now it is just trying to gain more benefits and maintain the right to mint coins through diplomatic advantages.

This may not be a big deal from the player's perspective. Everyone knows that all of Young Master's actions are under the old man's watch, and he is a pawn of him and the Ice God. But from the perspective of the person involved, Young Master didn't know the layout, and he finally chose to release Osel. He really wanted to destroy Liyue and put it into practice.

Even though the young master knew that the consequence would be that millions of people would die because of him, he still did it. The madness and bad nature of his behavior were no worse than those of the doctor.

Xie Yan couldn't interfere with Liyue's choice. Besides, Liyue had now entered the stage of human rule. Even if Ningguang wanted to break up, she had to balance the interests of all parties, unless the old man could do a sit-up from his coffin and order to settle accounts with the Kingdom of Zhidong.

But this is too outrageous. Storytellers may have to change the script again. When the emperor went to war, he said...

Seeing Dixia's puzzled expression, Xie Yan softly introduced: "The faith of Liyue and Inazuma is very strong. It is unimaginable in Liyue to openly oppose the policies of the gods. Even diplomacy... Forget it, I won't say more."

"Is that so? No wonder the people of Liyue reacted so strongly to the death of Geolord." Dixia nodded thoughtfully. She had no idea about the fall of gods. The Scarlet King happened thousands of years ago, but many people later used his name to burn, kill and loot.

She was more concerned about Xie Yan's sigh as she entered the working state, and asked seriously, "Does the prince have any instructions? If it is about diplomacy, I actually want to ask you and Lord Grass God for advice."

"It's okay to say it. We came here today to see how the various tasks are being implemented. But why are you reading the newspaper today, Dixia? And where's Ying?"

"Uh, Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I was actually interrogating Madam Babel. I came up here to leave her alone for a while. Ying is still working with the thirty-man team to deal with the relics of the God King. Some of them are old acquaintances of mine, so it's not convenient for me to come forward, lest people think I'm biased towards them."

Di Xia thought Xie Yan was saying that she was slacking off at work, so she quickly explained the whole story.

The Root Department is not a place where blood is seen every day. It is more like a supervisory agency. In the process of law enforcement, it is inevitable to offend various forces. However, Dixia does not care about being hostile to others. She only cares about the thoughts of Xie Yan and Nashida, and promises to be a sharp blade for the two.

In order for the people of Xumi to bathe in the sunshine of the sacred tree, someone is destined to bear the darkness.

Xie Yan did not try to sense the situation in the cell. He patted Dixia on the shoulder and said, "You haven't had a rest for a long time, right? Your mood swings are not stable. You should leave work early later."

"Ah? But the work is not yet..."

"Everyone has been captured, what's the rush? Dixia, I am the Darkness of Xumi."
