Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

"The sun took the sapling to witness all the things in the world, so that she would no longer be confused. The sun worked tirelessly for the sapling, allowing her to walk out of the darkness of the past and rekindle hope."

"Amber... my sage, my sun." Nashida hugged Amber's neck, her cheek pressed against Amber's chest, and a soft voice came out of her mouth. Amber took a deep breath. She was a little disturbed by Nashida's sudden words. She tried to suppress the inexplicable throbbing in her heart, but she could not control her weak heart at all. The rapid beating sound reached Nashida's ears.

"...I have the most beautiful dream in all of Xumi. It is the most dreamy paradise." Nashida raised her head and slowly moved closer to Amber's face. Amber looked at Nashida who was getting closer and closer in her field of vision, and for a moment she was a little at a loss - such a state was not consistent with the person who was known for his calmness.

"You make reality more beautiful than dreams."

Soft whispers penetrated into Amber's brain bit by bit, and along with them came the soft touch on her lips, like a gentle breeze, soft water, and tempting honey.

Amber didn't know how to describe her current feelings. She felt her mind go blank and she subconsciously closed her eyes. A faint sweetness, like honey and citrus, filled her lips and teeth, and even her heart skipped a beat.

This moment was stretched infinitely. It was clearly just a light kiss, but it made Amber dazed for a long time. Fortunately, the two of them happened to be in a deserted corner, otherwise they would inevitably be misunderstood.

"Hmm..." It was a long time after the kiss ended that Amber came back to her senses. She looked at Nashida, who was smiling in her arms, and felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

"Nashida, do you know what a kiss means?" Amber felt her heart beating rapidly, took a deep breath and asked this question.

"You know, it's a way for family members to express their love." Nashida tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing her unique clarity, which made Amber sigh. It seemed that Nashida had made some mistake.

Amber was about to explain to Nashida, but Nashida gently pressed her lips. Nashida still maintained her smile, but a hint of cunning appeared in her eyes.

"I was kidding. It's been so long. I've grown up too. How could I not know its meaning?" Nashida put her arms around Amber's neck again and leaned slightly closer to her ear.

"Then... my sage, are you willing to accept my love?" The gentle words, mixed with heat, lingered in my ears, a little itchy. "Not just between family members, but as partners in a relationship."

Amber's eyes widened. Her mind had never been so blank. Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing? What was going on?

"...Are you really Nashida?" Amber regretted saying this the moment she said it, but this question really troubled her. Were those words...really spoken by Nashida? Did she truly understand what they meant?

"Amber once said that a positive family relationship has the qualities of tolerance, understanding, respect, and care, right?" Nashida tried to move her body slightly, but her current posture was not suitable for movement, so she had to give up and just stayed close to Amber's body.

"But my subsequent observations have shown me that not only family affection, but also love, friendship, and even other interpersonal emotions, are mostly moving in this direction."

"Humans are fundamentally social creatures. They need a place to rest their hearts—their hearts can be placed in family, friends, partners, and even other beings."

"So, aren't these relationships all similar? That's what I thought at the time, but then I discovered some differences."

"Admittedly, the tendencies of these relationships in a positive state are very similar, but their structures are different. Friendship has a just-right sense of distance, while positive family ties often involve mutual openness, understanding, and tolerance. They are closer than friendship."

"Besides that, there's something called 'camaraderie.' I've seen similar friendships often occur between two people on the same path. They move forward together, think together, debate with each other, and agree with each other. In this kind of friendship, class and other differences are not worth mentioning."

"But in comparison...love is something I don't quite understand." Nashida tapped her cheek with her fingers and expressed her doubts. Her voice was like a spring breeze caressing her cheek, which only made Amber feel her heart beat faster.

Chapter 70: Lychees? Eat them!

"What is a romantic relationship? I've asked many people about this, and they've given a variety of answers. Some say they feel understood and tolerated, some say they're happy with each other, and some say they just got along better and better the more they talked, and it slowly developed into this situation."

"But... they also have something in common. They both hope to face the future hand in hand with each other, to build a 'family' together. With each other's company, aging is no longer a scary thing, and neither is death."

"So, love is a magical thing. Compared to the lives of gods, mortals are insignificant. Time cannot heal the regrets and unresolved feelings in their short lives. Therefore, most of them fear death and the end of life."

"But love can make them no longer afraid of these things, and give them courage that ordinary people don't have." Nashida tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke again, "Amber has helped me a lot along the way and taught me a lot. With Amber by my side, the unknown no longer seems scary."

"—Because I know that no matter what happens, you are willing to face it with me."

"..." Amber remained silent for a long time. She had no idea what to say, but facing such a Nashida, she had to admit that she was indeed very moved.

Amber looked back at her past and confirmed that she had no sexual desire for children, which meant that she was definitely not an evil pedophile. Therefore, the throbbing feeling that Nashida felt was definitely not coming from her body.

So why was she so moved? Amber pondered this question seriously, thinking back to her first meeting with Nashida. Back then, she had probably been drawn to her out of a sense of pity, coupled with her natural fondness for children—even those who looked like them. Not to mention that Nashida was very sensible and well-behaved.

But things were different after that. Amber witnessed Nashida's principle that "wisdom is a means, life is the goal". This god was different from other gods. She had a compassionate heart. After seeing through this, Amber decided to stand on Nashida's side to make Xumi a better place.

Up to this point, it is not an emotional leap. The real improvement should be when Nacida shows more of herself to Amber during the journey. As a result, Nacida in Amber's heart becomes more and more three-dimensional. Nacida also has a side that is different from the stereotype of gods. She also has her own little thoughts and wishes. She likes sweets and can't eat spicy food. She likes to observe everything in front of her as a bystander.

She was full of curiosity about everything, and exuded the vitality and enthusiasm that were unique to Nashida. Amber was unconsciously attracted to these and placed Nashida in the position of an important family member.

If we look through the phenomenon and see the essence, family is extremely important to Amber. Putting Nashida in this position means that Nashida is already an extremely important person to Amber.

Nashida didn't realize this at first, until Amber revealed the importance of her family and even family affection to her, Nashida realized what it meant.

It was probably at that time that Nashida's feelings towards Amber began to change.

"The relationship between gods and sages is naturally one of superiors and subordinates, but it's not quite suitable for me now," Nashida said softly. "And family... well, to be honest, I'm not quite satisfied with that."

"Just like how after Amber gave me a taste of delicious food, I wanted to try more. Now, I've become much more greedy. I want to take Amber one step further, to become her partner, to establish a relationship that would even make an ordinary person fearless of death."

"I also want to build a family with Amber as a partner in the future." Nashida's words were full of seriousness. Amber was sure and certain that this was absolutely her true words.

"...Have you thought it through?" Unexpectedly, Amber did not feel panicked at this time. She confirmed Nashida's thoughts.

Of course, the greater possibility is that, just as Nashida has feelings for Amber that go beyond friendship, Amber's feelings for Nashida also exceed the "normal" threshold.

"Of course." Nashida closed one eye and smiled, a smile that captivated Amber. "So, Amber, are you willing to agree to my request? Not as a god, but simply as Nashida."

"Ha..." Amber took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and had a final thought. Her heart was a little confused at the moment - after all, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation in her life.

In terms of appearance, Nashida is very cute - no one can deny this. She is like an elf other than this world, with amazing beauty.

In terms of personality, Nashida is also impeccable. She has a compassionate heart that is unique among gods, and is probably the most human-like god. If she is to be a partner, her sensible and gentle personality would probably be very suitable.

Amber is happy to maintain the status quo with Nashida, but she is also not opposed to taking a further step with Nashida - to be honest, having a lovely girl with Nashida's personality as a partner was even Amber's pursuit in her previous life.

"Is this... a habit left over from my past life?" Amber shook her head in self-mockery and muttered to herself.

"What's wrong?" Nashida didn't hear Amber's words. Although she saw Amber shaking her head, she still chose to wait for Amber to give a definite answer.

"...I'd love to." Amber lowered her head and looked at Nashida in her arms. To be honest, her arms were a little sore after holding her for so long.

Nashida smiled brilliantly when she heard Amber's words. Looking at Nashida like this, Amber had some offensive thoughts for a moment - since their relationship is now developing into a partner, it doesn't matter if they do some things that people in this kind of relationship do, right?

"My hands are sore from holding you for so long. It's all because Nashida suddenly said those words and scared me." Amber's words revealed a hint of desire. "So I want to charge you some interest - can I kiss Nashida?"

"Well... okay." Nashida didn't expect Amber to suddenly make such a request. She was obviously not shy at all when she kissed Amber before, but when faced with Amber's advance verbal notice, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

This, maybe it's heartbeat?

Amber had no intention of joking in this situation. After Nashida agreed, she showed amazing action. Nashida's sudden attack before really scared her, so she naturally wanted to retaliate at this time!

So the kiss lasted for a long time, so long that Nashida was a little breathless, but it was obvious that the two of them were equally good at holding their breath, and in the end Amber also looked a little embarrassed.

"Miscalculated... Huh..." Amber gasped, feeling extremely embarrassed for a moment. Nashida was put back to the ground by her and was also gasping for breath.

Nashida licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and for a moment she felt a faint sweetness lingering between her lips and teeth, a bit like citrus, but the cool feeling that penetrated her heart was like mint.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and Amber took Nashida's hand and walked slowly towards their residence.

The Flower Goddess Festival is Nashida's birthday, so the dinner is much richer. The atmosphere at the dinner is not much different from usual. Several people still chat while eating. After the meal, Ah Ji cleans the dishes as usual.

Although the relationship was established, there seemed to be no change in this aspect. They continued to live as usual. Nashida did not show any abnormality, and the same was true for Amber.

But some things have really changed. In the past, before going to bed, Nashida would ask Amber to read to her, such as story books and novels. But after a few days, Nashida chose to go to bed early, which was uncharacteristic of hers.

Amber thought Nashida was too tired during the day and agreed to this arrangement. She finished washing up a few minutes later than Nashida. But when Amber lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and turned off the lights, she felt something crawling onto her body.

——It was Nashida. She poked her head out from under the quilt and straddled Amber's belly. When Amber opened her eyes wide and was about to speak, she used the same trick again and pressed Amber's lips with her left index finger.

"XU——" The onomatopeia often used to signal others to keep quiet came out of Nashida's mouth. Her charming eyes, as bright as emerald and with the mark of four leaves, reflected the appearance of amber. The moonlight poured onto Nashida from the window, coating her hair with a layer of cool silver.

"Since we're already partners, then it's okay to do things that only partners do, right?" Nashida whispered the words Amber had thought earlier, but the two sentences had different meanings. "I'm curious about these things... Amber, can you teach me?"

"Bang——" This was the sound of the string of reason breaking. Nashida closed one eye, tilted her head slightly, and had a playful expression on her face that was completely different from usual. For a moment, she looked like a little devil.

Amber felt an inexplicable emotion hitting her brain, even her heart skipped a beat. For a moment she felt dizzy and as if she couldn't breathe.

Driven by an inexplicable impulse, Amber touched Nashida's body with her fingers. The soft skin looked a little strange under the moonlight. Perhaps because of this, just a touch similar to usual was enough to bring a shock that caused the brain to short-circuit.

"Huh..." Amber's breathing was a little hot. For the first time, she realized that she was a person who could not resist temptation - or maybe, it was because she was facing Nashida that she was so moved?

"...I can't promise I won't go too far, okay?"

An indescribable atmosphere permeated this not-so-big room, like a plump pomegranate or sweet candy. The crimson forbidden fruit was plucked and shared between the god and his companion.

……

"The one who is in charge of all this is actually a great sage from all generations... How audacious." In Xumi City, in a house not far from the Church Hall, Elhaisen was checking the files he had copied into the void and making careful comparisons. During this period, he calculated the time accurately, copied the files bit by bit at a suitable frequency, and stored them in the void.

The control of the void is in the hands of the great sage and his party. Generally speaking, information like this should not be stored in the void to avoid leaving clues, but this is not a problem for Elhaisen. The void is extremely convenient, and most people only know how to enjoy its convenience but never understand its principles. Elhaisen is naturally not that kind of person.

He had conducted research on void devices and even the void, and was able to do things like change the color of the void device's eye projection screen to disguise it as being malfunctioning. He also thought about manipulating the projection screen to project it behind his head to defend against sneak attacks - but this method was ultimately rejected by Elhaisen, not because it was impossible but because it had no practical value.

Elhaisen independently compiled an encryption method to ensure that the data he stored would not be spied on. This allowed him to safely copy the data into the void device. Of course, he would still clean it up afterwards.

He spent a lot of time looking through various records. For example, the God-making Plan would naturally not be stored in such a place. It was most likely kept separately by the Great Sage, but Elhaisen needed to know its movements. As for how to get in touch with it, that was a matter after knowing the movements.

The identity of clerk gave Elhaisen too many conveniences. Facts kept proving how far-sighted he was in choosing this position. After confirming the location of the archives, Elhaisen entered the office of the Great Sage on a day of knowledge collection. While everyone was concentrating on entering knowledge into the void, he completed the scanning of the archives and then cracked their encryption.

"...It's time to contact Nefe again." Elhaisen pondered and secretly made up his mind.

Chapter 71: The World Forgot Me

"The world... has forgotten me..." A faint voice sounded, echoing in the space of consciousness. Nashida frowned slightly in her sleep.

As the master of dreams, Nashida was very clear that she was dreaming, but the voice did not seem fake. It seemed to come from the bottom of the abyss, which made Nashida feel deeply sad.

Following her intuition, Nashida sensed carefully, but the final result only made her feel cold - this message came from the World Tree itself, but at the moment, the only ones who could have such a connection with the World Tree were her and the Great Compassionate Tree King.

"...Hmm." Following a groan, Nashida suddenly opened her eyes. Her body was filled with fatigue at this moment, but she sat up almost immediately, stretched out her hand, and searched inside the World Tree according to the previous process.

All the information of Teyvat flows in the earth veins, and their destination is the World Tree. For the world, the World Tree is a big library that records everything and is the foundation that supports the world. Nashida put her hand of consciousness into it and successfully captured that piece of memory from the ocean of information.

This memory was shaped several times before finally appearing in front of Nashida in the form of canned knowledge shining with golden light. Nashida picked it up, and for a moment she felt that the whispering voice in the dream was echoing in her ears again, but its source had changed from the World Tree to the canned knowledge in her hand.

"Amber..." Nashida subconsciously called out to the person next to her, but received no response. She called out again and turned to look around, only to find that Amber was not in the room. The room next to her was empty, and bright sunlight shone into the room from the window - it was already late.

Nashida had no habit of sleeping in, and usually got up at eight o'clock at the latest, but now it was almost ten o'clock, a full two hours later than usual.

If you ask the reason... it's probably Amber's responsibility. Nashida looked at the sky outside the window, sighed deeply, touched her neck subconsciously, and slowly walked to the mirror.

There was a conspicuous kiss mark on the snow-white neck, and another one on the right collarbone. God knows why the senses of this puppet's body are so realistic. The absurd behavior of last night flooded into Nashida's mind. She shook her head and tried to put it aside, but her face was already slightly flushed.

Amber probably felt a little vengeful for Nashida's previous sudden attack. So when Nashida took the initiative to talk about things that partners would do, driven by a little lust and a little revenge, Amber went a little too far and successfully delayed Nashida's wake-up time by two hours.

Thanks to the fact that both of them were not normal people, they did not suffer from back pain that was so severe that they could not get out of bed.

"...Now is not the time to think about those things." Nashida muttered to herself in a low voice, but there was something unclear in her words. "I still have to find Amber to discuss this matter first..."

After she finished speaking, Nashida patted her cheeks, took a deep breath to suppress the chaotic memories, and began to put on her clothes. Just as she was done, Amber pushed open the door and walked in.

She was wearing casual clothes. She was probably in a hurry to go out in the morning and didn't have time to comb her hair. She just washed her face and went out. As a result, Amber's hair was a little messy, but it added a bit of tired temperament to her. This temperament was quite novel on Amber.

Seeing the kiss mark on Nashida's neck that had not been covered, Amber's eyes were a little evasive for a moment. She usually woke up at six or seven o'clock, but this time it was delayed to eight o'clock. As soon as she woke up, she received a meeting request from a clerk. Seeing that the time was almost up, Amber rushed to the appointment without even having time to comb her hair.

Elhaisen confirmed the existence of the god-making plan. He was a smart man and saw at a glance the many risks and hidden dangers of this crazy plan. The great sage and his party were blinded by the great cause of creating a god, but they did not think about whether this new god would bring disaster. It was simply foolish.

The two discussed the matter and finally established a tentative cooperation. They formulated a new plan with Nashida as the core. Elhaisen remained inactive and continued to collect information from the House of Commands.

"Good morning..." Amber took a deep breath, suppressed the various mixed subtle emotions, slowly walked to the small round table, and put the breakfast she bought on the road on the table.

"Well... good morning." Nashida was obviously a little hesitant. She patted her cheek again, walked to the round table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I received a message from Elhaisen earlier, and I rushed over immediately because time was tight. I bought some white porridge on the way. It's still hot now, so drink it while it's hot." Amber avoided Nashida's gaze. Now, whenever she saw Nashida, the scenes of last night would flash back in her mind. To be honest... it was a bit embarrassing.

Although Nashida is already 500 years old, she is still a newborn among the gods. I wonder if this counts as molesting a minor...

Amber shook her head, putting aside those messy thoughts, and pushed one of the bowls of porridge in front of Nashida.

Most of the porridges in Xumi are simply boiled with water and rice, and then a little sugar is added. But for this bowl of porridge, the owner added some wolfberries to it, and a red date was even placed in the center in a unique way. The red color is very conspicuous in the porridge.

I just don't know why, when Amber bought porridge, the middle-aged female boss looked at Amber a few more times and gave her a smile that Amber couldn't understand. The extra ingredients were added after that. This smile still makes Amber feel a little uneasy when she thinks about it now.

Nashida didn't rush to tell Amber about the canned knowledge. She looked at the porridge in the bowl in front of her, then looked at Amber's neck. She slowly picked up the porridge and said, "Amber, did you notice that you didn't cover this place before you left?"

Nashida pointed to her neck. Amber's eyes widened at that. She quickly waved her hand and gathered imaginary energy into a mirror. Observing herself in the mirror, she discovered a hickey on the side of her neck. The hickey was hidden by her hair and not very noticeable, but as soon as she tilted her head...

"..." Amber understood. She understood why the female stall owner looked at her like that. Now she could only hope that not many people would notice this problem.

"...Woo." Amber lowered her head and whimpered shyly, which was rare for her. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out again in her life!

Nashida looked at Amber like this and couldn't help laughing. She now understood why some people enjoyed playing tricks on others.

"I dreamed of the Great Compassionate Tree King." Nashida whispered, and this sentence brought Amber out of her confused state. She looked at Nashida with wide eyes.

"What's going on? Nashida, you don't feel any discomfort, do you?" Amber's words were full of worry. It was no wonder that he was so anxious. Only a remnant of the Great Compassion Tree King's soul remained in the World Tree, but the current World Tree was contaminated by forbidden knowledge. How could Amber not worry?

"I don't feel any discomfort." Nashida shook her head. She waved her hand and placed the golden can of knowledge on the table, while telling her previous experiences one by one.

"...Is that so?" Amber frowned. "This canned knowledge contains the last memories of the Great Compassion Tree King, but your current power isn't enough to read it?"

"Yes." Narcida nodded, "And I always feel that that sentence makes me feel very sad."

"...Huh." Amber took a deep breath, stood up, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to touch Nashida's head. "Since there's no way to read it now, then you can slowly search for the answer in the days ahead. I'll stay by your side."
