Chapter 85: Jingshan Palace
Dolly had a dream. She dreamed that she turned into a golden Mora.
At first, when she and other Moras were piled up into a mountain of gold, she felt very happy. But when she was taken out separately and paid to others, she realized that being a Mora didn't seem that great...
“Wow?!”
Dolly turned into a Mora and went around in other people's hands until the alchemist took it to the synthesis table. She suddenly woke up with sweat on her forehead.
"This is... a prison!"
Dolly woke up and looked around, and was shocked to find that she was in the prison of the Ordinance House.
She had sold some illegal items before and had dealt with the disciplinary officers, but this was the first time she was caught.
"It's okay, it's okay. My men will definitely be able to bail me out..."
After the initial panic, Dolly quickly calmed down and patted her chest to comfort herself.
At this moment, several discipline officers escorted a few familiar people past the cell where Dolly was.
"..."
Dolly was certain that those people were the few subordinates who knew his whereabouts in Xumi City...
"So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
The next moment, a white-haired boy wearing a jackal hat stopped in front of the cell and spoke to Dolly inside.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Seno, the great disciplinary officer? Can you ask me why I'm here? I think I might be wrongly accused, can you let me out?"
Seeing Seno, Dolly quickly knelt in front of the cell and asked Seno with an innocent look.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the authority to release the prisoners that the Grass God wants to detain. And before that, please answer my question first. Where did the card you sold at a high price come from? Where is the card now?"
Seno rejected Dolly expressionlessly and questioned her.
"That card again... Is he not in the same group as the previous guy? Then why am I here? And why is it related to the Grass God?"
Dolly was a little confused. When she just woke up, she thought Liu Bai and the discipline officer were in cahoots.
"Woo woo... Mr. Disciplinary Officer, you have to make the decision for me! I bought that card legally from someone by chance. I don't know where it came from, but just now, someone broke into our store and stole our things!"
After thinking for a while, Dolly immediately started crying to Seno.
……
"...Girl, I'm so sleepy. Where are we going to sleep tonight?"
In the office of Grass God, Liu Bai, who was sitting next to him, yawned, leaned over the table, turned his head and looked at Nashida and asked.
It was already past midnight and the people in the Palace of Wisdom had all gone off work long ago. The clerk was the first to leave.
At this time, the only people left in the entire Palace of Wisdom might be Liu Bai and Nashida, as well as a few scholars who were busy writing papers in the library.
"Well...if you feel sleepy, go to Jingshan Palace to rest. It's quieter there and no one will disturb you."
Nashida thought about it and felt that it might not be appropriate to sleep in the office, so she suggested it to Liu Bai.
It's like sleeping there for about five hundred years, so the quietness is guaranteed.
"Ah...? Isn't Jingshan Palace a prison?"
Liu Bai was a little confused due to being sleepy, but he still scratched his head and spoke with some confusion.
"No, Jingshan Palace is the palace where the grass gods of all generations lived."
Nashida corrected with some dissatisfaction.
Although there are two generations in total including her in the Grass God.
"That's not good, let me sleep in someone else's house?"
Hearing that it was the palace where the Grass God lived, Liu Bai quickly shook his head in resistance.
"Someone else's home? That's my home, have you forgotten that?"
Nashida continued to explain helplessly, she knew that Liu Bai's mind was confused again.
She has been following Liu Bai for so many days and has long been accustomed to it. Every time Liu Bai feels sleepy, the symptoms will worsen.
"What? Girl, are you the grass god?"
Liu Bai, who was a little confused, suddenly became much more alert and immediately sat up and asked Nashida.
"...Of course I am the God of Grass. You'd better stop talking. Go to bed if you are sleepy. You will remember it when you wake up."
Liu Bai's condition was not very good, so Nashida had to urge him to rest quickly.
"Girl, are you really a grass god? Then where is your god's heart?"
"…Touch your left chest."
Faced with Liu Bai's question, although Nashida had a headache, she was afraid that he would be sad, so she could not ignore him without saying a word. She had to raise her finger and point at his left heart.
Liu Bai obediently reached out and touched it, and felt something hard, then he opened his clothes and took the thing out.
It was an emerald green heart of God.
"Fuck! I'm the Grass God!"
Liu Bai exclaimed as he held the Heart of God in his hands.
Nasida: "..."
Afterwards, Liu Bai went to Jingshan Palace to rest with peace of mind.
……
Early the next morning, Nashida carried two packed breakfasts from the canteen of the Jiaolingyuan, and then went all the way to Jingshan Palace, intending to wake Liu Bai up.
Before reaching the gate of Jingshan Palace, Nashida couldn't help but look back at the void that was trapped in the air by giant vines.
Jingshan Palace is the highest point in the entire Xumi City. Continuing upwards is the top of the sacred tree, and the location where the void is imprisoned is exactly the same height as Jingshan Palace.
"After all, it is the creation of the Great Compassion Tree King. It would not be good to leave it here to waste..."
Nashida muttered to herself. After the scholars woke up yesterday, they began to make noises that they were not used to because of the loss of the void.
"Thank you for your hard work."
After gently greeting the thirty mercenaries guarding the entrance of Jingshan Palace, Nashida entered the Jingshan Palace.
Then, she saw Liu Bai sleeping soundly inside the green circular barrier.
This barrier was originally a device used by the Great Compassionate Tree King for meditation. It had the power to isolate the inside and the outside. After being transformed by the great sage, it became a cage to imprison Nashida.
Liu Bai crawled inside, spread out the same bedding from the hotel that he got from somewhere, and slept soundly in the quilt with a sea otter doll in his hand.
"Wake up~!"
Smiling and shaking her head, Nashida shouted inside, then turned off the meditation device and opened the barrier.
In fact, with Nashida's ability, she can control others through the void to release herself at any time, but she always feels that she is not a qualified god yet, and there is no point in coming out. It is better to invest more time in the void to continue learning.
But now she no longer ignores her own voice.
“Wow?!”
Although the height was not very high, the sudden fall still woke Liu Bai up.
"Good morning, would you like to have breakfast together?"
Nashida then came up to Liu Bai, picked up the breakfast in her hand and asked him gently.
"Okay, thank you girl!"
Liu Bai came back to his senses from his state of doubt and looked at the packed breakfast in Nashida's hand and immediately reached out to take it with surprise.
Then the two of them sat together in Jingshan Palace and had breakfast.
"By the way, can you give me the Heart of God later? I want to restart the void and eliminate the consciousness on it, so that the void can continue to be used."
While eating breakfast, Nashida suddenly remembered something and turned around and said something to Liu Bai beside her.
Although the void will become a giant energy consumer without the energy supply from the Heart of God, Nashida's idea is to use this to limit the use of the void and prevent scholars from becoming overly dependent on the void.
