Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 388 Making Friends with Gods

Just as the two were chatting, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door of the tent, and then Tinari and Cole walked in.

After seeing Nashida, Tinari looked a little strange. He bowed slightly and saluted: "Master Little King of the Auspicious Grass, welcome to Huacheng. I am the forest patrol officer Tinari. I wonder why you are here this time? If you need anything, we will do our best to serve you."

Tinari had never seen the grass god before, but seeing the noble temperament emanating from the little girl in front of him that was not like that of an ordinary person, he was sure that the person in front of him was none other than the god of Mount Sumeru, the Little Auspicious Grass King Nashida.

As for the woman next to her who was as beautiful as Patishalan, Tinari also guessed her identity - Nilu, the famous dancer in Xumi.

But he was a little curious, why did Lord Grass God appear in Huacheng Castle with Nilu? Tinari was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face.

Nashida looked at Tinari curiously, then smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Tinari. There's no need to be so polite. I'm just passing by Huachengguo and will leave later. I hope I didn't disturb you." Nashida said softly, her voice was gentle and clear, as if it could purify people's souls.

If Cole hadn't come to entertain them, they wouldn't have stayed in Huachengguo.

Tinari shook his head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Lord Grass God, you are too polite. It is an honor for us to have you here. How can it be a bother? Where is Lord Grass God going next? If necessary, we can arrange a guide for you."

Nashida tilted her head slightly, glanced at Nilu, then smiled and said, "I plan to go to Liyue."

Tinari was slightly stunned. Liyue?

The grass gods of Xumi are going to Liyue? What are they going there for? Do the great sages know about this?

As if she could see the doubt in Tinari's heart, Nashida continued, "I asked Miss Nilu to bring me out quietly. The Great Sage and the others don't know about this. I hope Mr. Tinari and Miss Cole can keep it a secret for me."

The cute little girl, like an elf, blinked her big, lively eyes, with a hint of playfulness in her words.

"Ah?" Cole was confused. He wanted her to keep a secret for God?

Tinari's heart trembled and his brows furrowed slightly.

It was really surprising that the little auspicious grass king actually left Jingshan Palace quietly and prepared to go to Liyue.

This matter is of great importance and if not handled properly, it may cause a series of problems.

Should he report this to the great sages?

Tinari fell into deep thought.

On the one hand, as a forest ranger, he has the responsibility to maintain the stability and order of Xumi. The actions of the little auspicious grass king may bring unknown risks, and reporting to the great sage seems to be the right choice.

But on the other hand, Lady Grass God is the god of Mount Sumeru and possesses supreme status and power, so her decision naturally has its reasons.

If she didn't want the great sage to know, if she reported it without authorization, she might violate the taboo of the gods.

After careful consideration, Tinari decided not to report the matter to the Great Sage for the time being, but to respect the wishes of Lord Grass God first.

He smiled and said, "Lord Grass God, since you have such a plan, we will certainly follow it. However, although Liyue is a neighboring country of Xumi, there are mountains between us. I wonder how Lord Grass God plans to get there? If you need any transportation, we can arrange it for you."

Although the only road between Xumi Daocheng Forest and Liyue Layered Abyss was a mine tunnel, which was not easy to walk on, Tinari knew that for gods, there were always ways that mortals could hardly imagine to get through these obstacles, so he only made such a suggestion out of respect for the God of Grass.

Nashida smiled softly, waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tinari. But don't worry, I have my own way to reach Liyue safely. I don't want to attract too much attention on this trip, so please don't bother you."

Seeing what the Grass God said, Tinari stopped insisting. He nodded in understanding and said, "Since Lord Grass God has made arrangements, we won't force you. If you need anything, please let us know. Have a pleasant journey."

Nashida smiled and thanked him, then turned to Nilu and said softly, "Nilu, it's almost time for us to leave.

Nilu quickly stood up and answered respectfully, "Yes, Lord Grass God."

Several people walked out of the tent together.

Before leaving, Nashida walked up to Cole and smiled sweetly at her.

"Miss Cole, this is my gift to you. Thank you for your hospitality."

Nashida stretched out her little hand, and a small and delicate bracelet appeared in her palm. The bracelet was woven with various bright flowers and exuded a faint fragrance.

Cole looked at the bracelet in Nashida's hand in surprise, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

She stammered, "Master Grass God, you are too polite. I just did some small things within my ability. How can I accept your gift?"

Nashida smiled and put the bracelet in Cole's hand, saying, "Little Cole... I'll call you Cole. This bracelet is just a little token of my appreciation. It's not very precious, so just accept it. Didn't we have a very happy chat just now? I treat you as a friend. Isn't it normal for friends to give each other gifts?"

"Or do you not want to be friends with me?" Nashida tilted her head, her eyes full of anticipation.

Cole waved his hands quickly, his face flushed with excitement, "No, no, Lord Grass God, I am honored to be your friend. I like this gift very much, thank you."

When Nashida saw Cole accept the bracelet, the smile on her face became even brighter.

She gently held Cole's hand and said, "Since we are friends, don't call me Lord Grass God. Just call me Nashida. This bracelet has a little magic power. I hope it can bring you good luck."

Kelai felt a warmth spreading from the bracelet throughout her body, and her heart was filled with gratitude and joy.

She held Nashida's hand tightly and nodded seriously: "Yes, Nashida, I will cherish this friendship."

Tinari stood aside, watching the interaction between the two girls, feeling somewhat surprised.

Their Lord Xumi, the Grass God, is really different. He is so kind and amiable, without any airs of a god at all.

Tinari felt emotional in his heart. His previous understanding of God had undergone new changes at this moment.

"Well, we should go now." Nashida smiled softly, then waved goodbye to Tinari and Cole: "Goodbye, Mr. Tinari, Cole, see you next time."

Tinari and Cole watched Nashida and Nilu go away until they disappeared into the dense rainforest.

Cole stroked the wreath in his hand, staring straight ahead, smiling foolishly.

"hey-hey……"

Lord Grass God actually became friends with her. This was an unprecedented experience for Cole and also an indescribable precious memory.
