Chapter 73 Entering the City
"Lannaro is a citizen of the forest and a part of Xumi. You are not allowed to bully them in the future. Do you understand?"
Nashida and Cole rescued Lansaka who was carried on their shoulders. Nashida put her hands on her hips and lectured Liu Bai in dissatisfaction, while Lansaka hid behind her.
"understood……"
Liu Bai lowered his head weakly like a child who had done something wrong.
"What a magical little creature! Master Tinari never told me that there are creatures like this in the rain forest..."
Cole looked curiously at Lansaka who was hiding behind Nashida.
Lansaka was trembling behind Nashida at first, but he slowly turned his head after noticing Cole's gaze.
Although this Nara has the aura of the King of Grass, she is still so scary...!
"Eh?"
Seeing Lansaka suddenly hide on the other side of Nashida, Cole couldn't help but wonder, does he look scary?
"Okay, Lansaka, don't be afraid. I have taught him a lesson for you."
After educating Liu Bai, Nashida turned around and spoke gently to the trembling Lansaka.
"Yeah, thank you, King of Grass, Lansaka is not afraid anymore!"
After hearing what Nashida said, Lansaka dared to raise his head. He raised his short little hands happily, and the two leaves on his head began to move.
Then Nashida asked Lansaka why he met Liu Bai, and the answer was that he was ambushed while planting Dun Dun peaches.
“…Come on, a carrot spirit that can grow crops is really cool!”
Seeing the gazes of Nashida and Cole, Liu Bai answered seriously.
"Lansaka is not a carrot spirit, you bad Nala..."
Lansaka hid behind Nashida, poked his head out and spoke weakly, but when Liu Bai looked at him, he immediately shrank back in fear.
Finally, with Nashida's comfort, Lansaka left the city of Hua along the same route he took when he was captured.
Liu Bai had no choice but to watch Lansaka leave with some regret.
After Lansaka left, Liu Bai followed Nashida and Cole to have breakfast.
During this time, Liu Bai discovered that Ke Lai seemed to be very wary of him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the girl had ignored him since yesterday.
……
After staying in Huacheng for a day and confirming Cole's condition, Nashida mentioned to Tinari and Cole after breakfast that they were leaving today.
"Well, thank you for helping to solve the dead zone, and thank you for helping to take care of Ke Lai these two days. If you pass by here next time, you are welcome to visit Huachengguo."
Tinari responded and thanked Liu Bai and Nashida.
He was busy yesterday and couldn't pay close attention to how Cole got along with them, but he found that Cole was in a good mood and seemed to be in much better physical condition, so he guessed they got along well.
"Well, I'll come over when I'm free. Cole should also take care of his rest."
Nashida nodded, then gave Cole an instruction.
'Well, I'll pay attention.'
Cole nodded. She was still a little reluctant to see this gentle and kind god leave.
After saying goodbye to Tinari and Kelai, the two also said goodbye to the rangers Amir and Nasrin who they rescued yesterday, and then set out on the road to Xumi City.
Since Xumi City is located outside Daocheng Forest, it doesn’t take long to get there even if you walk.
"Hmm~ The weather is really nice today, so warm."
Walking out of the dense rain forest and onto the main road, the warm sunshine sprinkled on the ground, making Nashida stretch her body like a kitten.
"Well... this weather is suitable for sleeping."
Looking at Nashida stretching her body, Liu Bai yawned subconsciously, then rubbed his eyes and spoke.
"You got up too early in the morning. Let's walk faster and have a cup of coffee in the city later."
"Ah."
Then the two of them quickened their pace and continued to move towards Xumi City.
After walking for a while, Liu Bai could see the huge sacred tree from afar. Xumi City was built on this sacred tree.
As they continued to approach Xumi City, Nashida raised one hand to cover one of her ears.
"Wait a minute, I may have some bad news for you."
As if she knew something, Nashida quickly grabbed Liu Bai's hand.
"Ah? Then let me hear the good news first."
Liu Bai, who was suddenly pulled, spoke subconsciously.
"There is no good news..."
"It's like this. I reconnected to the void and found your wanted poster inside. There was a portrait of you on it. Although it was very abstract, I could recognize it as you."
Nashida shook her head and explained to Liu Bai.
The computing power of the void depends on the people of Xumi, so the signal is better in places with denser crowds. Therefore, even if Nashida is still some distance away from Xumi City, she can still easily access the void.
"Wanted order?!"
Liu Bai was startled.
"Oh no, I was so busy reading novels that I forgot to supplement my knowledge. It's all over, I'm going to jail!"
When Liu Bai heard the wanted order, he remembered that in Xumi, if you don’t have enough knowledge, you will go to jail.
"It's not this matter. The wanted order says that you broke into the dormitory of a scholar at the Institute of Discipline and attempted robbery, but failed. You repeatedly resisted the pursuit of the Grand Disciplinary Officer, and thus damaged the items and walls in the dormitory of the Institute of Discipline."
Nashida told what she saw from the void.
Since the void is very convenient, any content that needs to be made known to the public can be published on the void, and then all the people in Xumi can see it, and the same goes for wanted notices.
Of course, apart from the two densely populated areas of Xumi City and Port of Omos, small places like Huacheng Castle cannot use the Void, so Tinari and Cole and others did not see this wanted order.
"Ah? Is that true? Isn't this a false accusation against me?"
Liu Bai didn't remember this happening and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Well, anyway, in your current state, you will definitely be stopped if you enter the city. Why don't we find another way to get in?"
Nashida didn't know what Liu Bai had done, so she had no choice but to suggest this to him.
"That's not necessary. I have a solution."
Liu Bai waved his hand and then spoke with confidence.
"Do you have any idea?"
Looking at Liu Bai's confident look, Nashida felt a little curious.
"Hehehe, you'll know soon."
Liu Bai did not explain, but pulled Nashida and quickened his pace.
Soon, the two arrived outside the gate of Xumi City.
Just at this moment, a cargo convoy was about to enter the city, and Liu Bai quietly observed the people on the carriage.
"I change..."
Then Liu Bai used seduction techniques on one of the men holding the child.
Since the other party had his back to Liu Bai, Liu Bai didn't have to worry about attracting his attention and being discovered.
As the white light disappeared from Liu Bai, a little girl who was even smaller and more immature than Nashida appeared in his place.
"...Girl, you've grown taller!"
Liu Bai raised his head and looked at Nashida, who was a head taller than him, and said with some shock.
"Haha, is this your plan, to become a cute little baby?"
Looking at the little baby in front of her who seemed unable to even stand, Nashida couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her mouth.
"…I turned into a baby?"
"But isn't my skill seduction?"
"Oh no, girl, that guy just now is a pedophile!"
Liu Bai then looked down at his chubby little hands, then realized something, and spoke anxiously in a soft and cute voice.
"..."
"What are you talking about? You have become that man's daughter... You are also a poor child. Like Cole, you were born with the magic scale disease."
"My wife passed away last year due to the demonic scale disease, and now I am the only one left to take care of my daughter."
Nashida glanced at the person Liu Bai had just chosen, then shook her head and explained to Liu Bai in a heavy tone.
The other party is a citizen of Xumi, and is wearing a void terminal, so Nashida can read the other party's thoughts to a certain extent.
"Is that so? I seem to remember that this skill is to become an important person in someone else's heart."
Liu Bai nodded, then lifted the seduction spell and returned to his original appearance.
Although the name is seduction, the actual effect of this skill is to become an important person in the other person's heart.
"The important person in my heart..."
After hearing Liu Bai's explanation, Nashida couldn't help but recall the time when Liu Bai asked her to experiment with this skill.
Afterwards, Liu Bai chose a new goal of going to the city, and finally succeeded in transforming into an adult, just a young woman.
But this was just the right way for him to pretend to be Nashida's mother. He took Nashida's hand and swaggered into Xumi City.
