Zhong Li: "……"
Ning Guang: "……"
Ke Qing: "Indeed, the powers of the divine are beyond our imagination. @Mu Yang, by the way, can you peek into the hearts of humans?"
Mu Yang: "No, I can't, don't say such nonsense! Although I am also a grass deity, I am different from Nahida. Nahida possesses the power of dreams, which might be related to that."
Nahida: "This is my ability, one that I have had since birth. It may be due to being a grass deity, or perhaps it is related to my dream powers, or even the World Tree."
Mu Yang: "That is already a formidable power."
Nahida: "However, out of respect for humanity, I generally do not pry into their thoughts."
Mu Yang: "During this time, you should observe humans more. Among them, there are good people and bad people, and Liyue is no exception."
Nahida: "I understand. I will observe carefully from now on. @Zhong Li, senior, I still want to ask you a thing or two."
Zhong Li: "Mu Yang knows where I am. I cannot teach you how to be a good deity. I don't even consider myself an exceptional deity, but I will share my experiences with you in hopes of helping you."
Nahida: "I really appreciate your help."
Nahida felt incredibly lucky today; someone had rescued her from the cage that had imprisoned her for five hundred years. After that, she had entered an extraordinary place and met the Geo Archon Morax.
She was certain that she could become an excellent deity in the future.
"Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to some delicious food. You haven't had those delicacies in Sumeru, have you?" Mu Yang gently rubbed Nahida's head and said, "But do you plan to let the people of Sumeru know you are in Liyue?"
"Me?" Nahida hesitated and said, "If the Academia finds out I'm in Liyue, it might bring some trouble to Liyue. Perhaps Liyue doesn't care, but I also don't want to cause trouble for Liyue. Please wait a moment."
As she spoke, under Mu Yang's gaze, Nahida's body slowly grew. In no time, she transformed from a seven or eight-year-old child into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. However, due to this sudden growth, Mu Yang believed that even if the Academia's people saw her, they would probably not recognize Nahida.
Of course, if someone compared Nahida with the Great Dendro Archon, they would likely find them to be ninety percent similar, but that no longer mattered.
"Let's go. I'll take you to buy some food." Mu Yang could clearly sense that this appearance was deliberately conjured by Nahida.
Once Nahida grew up and accumulated enough divine power, she would naturally be able to grow, just like the former Great Dendro Archon.
The former Great Dendro Archon had a mature appearance, but due to excessive consumption of divine power, she had become like the current Nahida.
Mu Yang knew that when no one was around, Nahida would still revert to her previous appearance.
"Okay!" Nahida replied without hesitation.
As a deity, Nahida wouldn't feel hunger, but she was also very interested in delicious food.
…………………………………………………………………………
When Mu Yang was seen shopping with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with an exquisite appearance in Liyue, it caused quite a stir.
This news made many people in Liyue furious.
Nahida's youthful form was naturally very beautiful; even in the entire Liyue Harbor, it seemed difficult to find a few girls who could compare with her. But that was not the reason for Mu Yang's infidelity!!
This outsider actually cheated on the Jade Balance Star—how could that be?
It was easy to imagine that Mu Yang's reputation would not fare well from here on out.
Ke Qing was considered an outsider in Liyue, especially after last year's invitation ceremony, where she almost lost her position as one of the Seven Stars. However, at this moment, the people of Liyue united against a common enemy.
Ke Qing might be an outsider, but she was still a Liyue person, one of the Seven Stars, and a representative of Liyue.
Even if she were to marry Mu Yang, Ke Qing must be the one in charge!
Unless Mu Yang could win over the Raiden Shogun or the Hydro Archon Furukalos next door.
"Is this the Little Auspicious Grass King?" When Mu Yang brought Nahida back to his residence, Ke Qing and Ning Guang were already waiting there. Looking at the girl holding a large pile of snacks, they couldn't help but marvel—truly a deity, this level of refinement was indeed not something an ordinary girl could compare to.
"Hello, you can just call me Nahida." Nahida transformed into a childlike form in front of the two, as her previous appearance was still a bit uncomfortable.
However, Nahida's appearance made Ke Qing and Ning Guang's eyes shine with delight. What a cute grass deity! Were those guys from the Academia blind?
Even such a grass deity had to be imprisoned; if it were them, they would absolutely never do such a thing.
"Is that so? Then we won't be polite, Nahida!" Ke Qing, having spent so much time with Mu Yang, was somewhat immune to deities, especially since the other party was such a cute grass deity.
Mu Yang was also a grass deity, and yet he was always thinking about some lewd things and lusting after his own body.
"Nice to meet you all." Nahida smiled upon seeing this; she previously had no friends.
Coming to Liyue for some training seemed quite nice.
"By the way, what brings you here?" Mu Yang placed the snacks he held on the table, gesturing for the others to help themselves, while he picked up a beef skewer to eat and asked.
"Now that Nahida is here, we naturally have to come to welcome her." Ke Qing shot Mu Yang an annoyed glance.
"At the same time, there is something we need to consult your opinion on." Ning Guang's expression was extremely serious.
"Oh? What is it?" Mu Yang looked at Ning Guang with curiosity.
Ning Guang first glanced at Nahida before speaking earnestly: "The Acting Grandmaster came to Liyue this time to invite us to join in the fight against the Fatui, at least hoping we can show our support for them internationally.
The Archon has allowed us to make our own decisions, but we are even more hesitant to decide on our own.
Moreover, the Fatui have indeed done nothing good in various countries.
But we are worried that this might bring greater trouble to Liyue."
"The Fatui, huh? Actually, aside from a few of them, I also have a strong aversion to the Fatui." Mu Yang frowned and said, "I mentioned the Lady before; do you think what she is doing now is right?"
