Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Xie Yan was very suspicious whether his instructions had been misinterpreted, for example, "invite more friends to celebrate" was taken by them as "invite all my female friends to have a party."

This is ridiculous. We are still in Nashida's Pure Palace. How can we have a party in my sister's palace? Shirou is not in Illya's castle to make up magic with others!

At this time, Xie Yan had not yet thought about what kind of surprise Yingmei would have after entering the city.

But now looking at the only nine remaining Sara and Dishiya, he felt that he should do something.

He turned his head slightly to look at Kujo Sara, and found that she was also staring at Xie Yan.

Kujo Sara's eyes were deep, clearly filled with suspicion.

She could understand holding a celebration banquet. After all, this was the first day that the new god Nashida began to rule. In the future, it would be an important day no less than the birthday of the goddess of flowers. However, the heroine participating in the banquet looked like a "flower girl" given to Xie Yan.

Kujo Sara thought that he didn't say anything like "Yoshi, hand over the girl's work, you are a good citizen, the shogunate army will reward you handsomely."

So...could all this be arranged by Xie Yan?

This kid used to be very honest, how come he has been led astray by the Xumi woman now?

Their eyes met, and Xie Yan moved his seat towards Jiutiao Sara. He patted his thigh and said sincerely, "Sister Sara, I guess Xumi is too enthusiastic, so you don't have to be so reserved."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Dixia, who was secretly observing, almost spit out a mouthful of wine. This great auspicious overlord was really not serious. How could he pat someone's thigh while talking?

Dixia frowned and turned to look at Kujo Sara's reaction, but saw that his face was just slightly red and he actually ignored the hand on his thigh.

"As a general, it is your duty to stay vigilant at all times. Xumi is a foreign country after all." Kujo Sara tried his best not to look at Xie Yan's hand on his leg.

Unlike what Dixia imagined, she did not turn a blind eye, but she did not dare to look. In the past, Xie Yan would at most feed her food, but there had never been such intimate contact between them.

Xie Yan pressed his palm a little harder, feeling the wonderful touch coming from Sara's thigh.

Damn, you guys are really here for a party! Don't take me with you!

Dixia felt a surge of despair in her heart. She actually just wanted to come here to make things clear and ask about certain things. Regarding the matter of sleeping with the emperor, since Nilu and Cole had done it before, she thought that it would never be her turn.

Aren't those novels on the street stalls in Omos Port all about this? That thing was just a few minutes long. Usually men are more stubborn. Isn't Nilu, Kelai, and a nine-jo Sara enough to suppress Xie Yan?

But now Xie Yan's actions clearly showed that he didn't treat her as an outsider. Was he implying that she couldn't escape today?

"I won't give in!" Dixia raised her face with a firm look.

At this moment, she recalled the Mondstadt Knight novel she had read at Dina Zede's house. The virtuous female knights would express their strength in this way after falling into the hands of the enemy.

But the strange thing is that Dina Zedai always blushed and put the content away so that he could not read it.

Could it be that the female knight surrendered?

impossible!

Xie Yan's movements froze. He was so focused on Sha Luo that he forgot that there was Dixia beside him.

"By the way, Dixia, why are you here?" Xie Yan touched his chin.

"What do you mean I'm here too? Wasn't it you who asked me to come?" Dixia glared at him with disgust. Anyway, she would not lie down.

"Where's Dina Zedai?"

"Hey, you're not still planning on taking advantage of Dina Zedai, are you? She's very weak! I sent her home as soon as I woke up."

"What do you mean by planning to take advantage of Dina Zedai? I haven't even met her."

Dixia was relieved. She was a straightforward person. Now that she had spoken to Xie Yan, she got straight to the point and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. According to the rules of the Gilded Brigade, I am now your prisoner. If you have any requests, just ask. If I can do it, I will do my best."

"The Gilded Brigade has such rules? The mercenaries I met before were not very friendly."

"Humph, the desert people can become mercenaries because of the spirit of contract. Now those people are doing whatever they want under the slogan of serving the Red King. That is a disgrace to the desert. Besides, I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the simplest truth."

Dixia's words made Kujo Sara's eyes light up.

The main reason why she didn't have a good impression of Xumi was that the people of Xumi were too spineless. She was disgusted by the empty talk of the Ministry of Education... Just like today, when Xie Yan destroyed the sacred tree in front of them, no one in this group of people dared to step forward to stop him, and they couldn't even say a harsh word loudly. If it were Inazuma, when someone destroyed the sacred cherry tree in front of everyone, they would still go up and fight even if they couldn't beat him.

"You are very good, much more pleasing to the eye than those scholars. I haven't spoken today because I am very disappointed with Xumi." Kujo Sara took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Dixia.

Dixia took the drink generously and drank it all. "I know Inazuma is a martial artist. You are a warrior, so of course you cannot tolerate such weakness. But there are still many people among scholars who deserve respect. Besides, scholars are not good at fighting and killing, so you can't blame them."

"This is wrong. Who says that scholars can only be weak in body? Civilizing the spirit and brutalizing the body is the right way. The Institute of Teachings has gone astray. Look, it is you, a desert citizen, who has come to the fore today. Do you think Xumi will have any future if things continue to develop like this?" Xie Yan shook his head slightly. The Institute of Teachings is now simply a group of corrupt scholars.

It doesn't mean that all scholars have to be as good at fighting as Confucius, but they must also have backbone and blood. The ecological environment of the Xumi rainforest is excellent, and the heritage of the gods ensures that everyone has sufficient material resources, resulting in the fact that the people of Xumi have no enterprising spirit.

Dixia had a clear view of right and wrong, and nodded, "That's true. Even the security of their own city has to be entrusted to others, so many desert people look down on rainforest people, thinking that they are occupying so many resources for nothing."

At this point, Dixia remembered what she wanted to ask today. She looked around and found that Nashida had not returned yet.

However, the conversation with Xie Yan was much more harmonious than expected, and Di Xia no longer had the mentality of being in prison.

The three continued chatting, and Dixia clinked glasses with Xie Yan and Kujo Sara a few more times.

"I didn't expect that I could get along well with you guys. Sigh, to be honest, I'm not used to the lifestyle in the rain forest." Dixia put down her glass, but the alcohol started to rise and she remembered something. "Wait, let me make a deal first. You can make requests, but you shouldn't ask me to sleep with you, right? I think that girl named Kelai is suitable. She seems to be happy about it anyway."

Even though I can get along well with Xie Yan, it doesn’t mean I want to be defeated by Xie Yan!

She is a desert dweller and does not need rainforest patriotic genes!

"What do you mean by sleeping with me?"

"It literally means serving the emperor in bed. Those scholars said that you just like this. I think you are quite good at it. Isn't this the palace of Lord Grass God?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kujo Sara looked over again with a resentful look.

She didn't know that Xie Yan was going to change their relationship tonight, but thinking that Xie Yan's hand was on her thigh, wouldn't her position as a sister be secure? Who would have thought that Xie Yan wanted to have group sex?

We're exercising at the Grass God's palace today, do you want to have the party at the castle tower next time?

Too much!

Unless you take me with you...I'm going to inflict explosive damage on the General!

Xie Yan finally understood what those scholars were doing behind the scenes. No wonder everyone's expressions were very subtle when he said "There is more fun when there are more people".

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Sister Sha Luo, you understand me!" Xie Yan patted his thigh again.

Kujo Sara's face darkened: "Don't pat my legs."

Dixia was happy to see this happen. With nine Saras taking the blame, she wouldn't be affected.

Just when they were having fun, Nashida suddenly ran back from the guest room.

She ran on the ground with a tapping sound, and her delicate and cute little feet attracted everyone's attention.

Regarding this point, Xie Yan remembered that a friend of his once said that it was very dirty for Nashida to run around without shoes, and as a sage of the God of Grass, everyone should help her lick her feet clean.

abnormal!

Xie Yan criticized in his heart, but Nashida walked to his side thoughtfully: "It's really strange, why is Kelai pretending to be asleep? She is obviously not drunk at all. When I came to her room, she secretly opened her eyes to look at me."

Unlike other knowledge, human emotions are very complex, and Nashida still doesn't understand many things about them.

But how could Xie Yan not understand?

Especially since Dixia had reminded him before that this was a night of imperial concubines, then Cole's behavior was very meaningful. Was she actually waiting for him to find her?

Could it be that Kelai was really fooled by me into having five children? I always feel that when it comes to the third child, I have to think about who is fooling whom...

But now Nashida was right beside him, and Xie Yan quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Nashida, I feel like you don't seem to be very relaxed today? Are you unhappy?"

"No, I am very happy. However, now that I am out of the cage, I have more responsibilities. The problems of the Order House and the desert need to be dealt with as soon as possible."

"What's troubling you is not the device, but your own heart. Don't worry so much. In your own kingdom, it's easy for the gods to do whatever they want. You are the sun of Xumi."

Xie Yan reached out and rubbed Nashida’s little head again.

Nashida still squinted her eyes and enjoyed the caress, but when she saw Dishia's surprised eyes, her fair little face somehow flushed a little.

She seemed to understand human emotions a little bit now.

Nashida moved her little butt back toward the back of the chair and once again displayed her older sister's authority.

"Actually, I was planning to hold a grand banquet to celebrate for you today... Well, as my younger brother, you should also have your own festival, but after thinking about it, I think it might not be a good idea to put two festivals together."

A holiday of your own?

Is Hot Spring Festival okay?

Xie Yan complained and said seriously: "I don't have any idea about the festival. Let's solve the crisis first."

He didn't say it explicitly, but both of them knew that this was referring to the World Tree.

The existence of the Rinnegan changed the situation, allowing Xie Yan to skip the battle of wits and courage with the Order Institute and kill them all. However, the remaining enemies were not so easy to deal with, and both of them needed to be fully prepared. Xie Yan also had to familiarize himself with Nashida's various abilities.

If possible, Xie Yan wanted to find a bug and turn skills like Wanxiang Tianyin and Shenluo Tianzheng into canned knowledge and then import them to himself, so that he could also connect to Brother Chao's shared brain.

As for the scattered soldiers and the doctor, Xie Yan knew about this and had a preliminary plan in mind.

But at this moment, Dixia suddenly raised her hand and said, "Wait, Lord Grass God, I...I want to ask you something."

"Hmm? You are Dishia, right? I remember you were Dina Zedai's companion."

"Lord Grass God actually knows me. It seems that what Dina Zedai said is right. It was indeed you who saved her. You are a kind god... You don't need to mind what Azar said. In my opinion, if a god doesn't even care about his own people, what does it matter how powerful he is?"

"No, my power is still too weak. I can only slow down the worsening of the symptoms." Nashida looked a little disappointed, but her eyes soon became firm. "But please believe me, I will definitely end Xumi's magic scale disease, and it won't take long."

Dixia nodded, but her face was now conflicted.

It's not that she questioned Nashida's promise. Dixia spoke from the bottom of her heart just now. Nashida did not give up helping Dinazedai even when she was imprisoned. In her opinion, she was very respectable. It's just that...the other party is the god of the rainforest after all.

The reason why I participated in this banquet today was not only because I wanted to make things clear with Xie Yan, but also because Dixia saw the change in the situation and some ideas came to her mind: Can the conflict between the desert and the rainforest that has lasted for thousands of years end here?

After hearing what Nashida had just said about dealing with the desert, Dishia finally couldn't sit still anymore.

She is a desert dweller. Although she seems to be successful now and has a decent job, she will never forget her hometown. In Aru Village, everyone lives in poverty and has a lack of supplies. They have to worry about sandstorms and the monsters that follow all the time. The children never get a normal education. It is rare for them to leave the desert and become scholars in the Church of God, and they basically never come back.

Those who are able to give up wealth and status and return to their poor hometowns to build the city are great and deserve to be praised by history, but there are too few of them.

In fact, Dishiya tried to change, and was invited by the Gilded Brigade such as the Eye of Akhmmar and Thutmose. But after a little contact with them, Dishiya knew very well that these people did not really believe in the Red King. They just blamed everything on the rainforest civilization and the Great Compassion Tree King because of their unhappy lives, believing that they had used trickery to gain control of Xumi and occupy Xumi's resources.

This is actually nonsense. If it was a desert, it would be fine. The rainforest was built by the Great Mercy Tree King herself with divine power, and all these resources came from her. It has nothing to do with the Red King. But as the saying goes, "The only spirit that can be passed down is hatred." Thousands of years have passed, and now the desert and the rainforest have become enemies. Many Gilded Brigades firmly believe that everything is the responsibility of the Great Mercy Tree King.

It is for this reason that they justify their acts of burning, killing and looting by saying "for the Red King", believing that they are only helping the people of the desert to avenge themselves.

Dixia knows very well that they are only courting their own destruction, and their selfish behavior will only make life in Aru Village more difficult. But now that a new god is in power, and he is a benevolent god at that, can he bring hope to the desert?

'I am just a mercenary and can't do much. I don't have the talent of a scholar, nor the power to change everything, but I still hope to do what I can for my hometown.'

Under Kujo Sara's surprised eyes, the female warrior who had been confident and generous during the conversation just now stood up from her seat, then knelt on one knee towards Xie Yan and Nashida.

"Lord Grass God, Your Majesty, I know it may be a little inappropriate to talk about this today and ruin the atmosphere, but I am worried that I will never have the opportunity to meet you again. I want to know...how do you plan to deal with the relationship between the desert and the rainforest?"

She looked at Nashida expectantly.

Just as Nashida was about to answer, Kujo Sara also stood up.

"I still have some things to do, so I'll go back and rest first." She winked at Xie Yan before leaving.

Xie Yan knew what she meant. They were discussing Xumi's future national policy, and it was indeed inappropriate for her, an Inazuma general, to listen here.

When she returned to the guest room, Nashida pulled Dishia up and said, "I will not refuse an audience with any of my subjects. As for the desert... I have some ideas. I plan to issue a new decree tomorrow to remove restrictions on the desert, send daily necessities to the desert, and send teachers there to impart knowledge. But the specific measures still need to be discussed with Xie Yan. Don't worry, he will give you a satisfactory answer."

Di Xia immediately turned to look at Xie Yan.

Through the conversation just now, she thought that Xie Yan was very wise and had vision, but his personality might be a little... Sigh, but to be honest, if he could really solve the problem of the desert, Dixia would not mind being dragged to his bedchamber.

It's not a deal. After all, Di Xia is not young anymore and of course she has her own standards for choosing a partner. It's just that no one has caught her eye until now, so she has remained single. Xie Yan is handsome, and his strength and wisdom are extremely outstanding. Di Xia can't say that she has devoted herself to him wholeheartedly, but she won't resist either.

It’s just that Xie Yan’s way of handling problems seems a bit overbearing. In addition to experiencing it personally today, Di Xia has also heard the story of Xie Yan in Inazuma and knows that he used force to directly subdue the island.

"I understand your concerns, Dishiya, but the situation in the desert is different from that on the island. The conflict between the two sides has not yet evolved to the point of war. Now we have people like Azar to dispel the public anger. There is no need to use force to suppress them. Even if some of the Gilded Brigade cause trouble, these people can be easily dealt with."

"Besides, Nashida is not the Great Compassion Tree King, which is acceptable to the desert people as long as she uses both kindness and power to demonstrate the majesty of a god."

This is a case of specific analysis for specific issues. If one really does not think about anything and just thinks about killing, then that is definitely wrong. The Son of God has been cultivating his sense of the overall situation, and certainly does not want him to become a reckless man.

He explained it very clearly, and Dixia breathed a sigh of relief, with gratitude in her eyes.

"Lord Grass God, Your Majesty, I am so sorry. I was worried about you..." Dixia scratched her head embarrassedly, poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all. She said solemnly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. From now on, I will swear allegiance to you until death."

Nashida shook her head gently: "Dixia, this is what I should do. It's better to say that it was my fault before... Go back and rest early today. If you want to go back to find Dina Zedai, that's fine too."

"Don't leave in such a hurry." Xie Yan suddenly stopped her. "I still have to go to the desert for a field investigation to know how to deal with it. Without investigation, I have no right to speak. It just so happens that I do have something important to do there. Why don't you come with me to deliver supplies to Aru Village?"

"No problem. That's what I should do. You really need a guide to go to the desert." Dixia nodded repeatedly.

Just as she was about to return to the guest room, Dixia hesitated for a moment, and suddenly whispered to Xie Yan: "If the prince has anything else to say, you can come to me."

After saying that, Dishia left in a hurry as if she was running away, leaving Nashida confused.

She pulled Xie Yan's sleeve: "What does Dixia mean by this?"
