Chapter 100 Birthday Cake
In fact, ever since the people spontaneously organized the Flower God’s Birthday Festival, it has been strictly prohibited to give physical gifts to the Grass God.
The reason is very simple. First, the gods do not need gifts from humans. Second, if everyone gives gifts, the House of the Lord might be buried directly.
This rule has been used to this day, so people are more concerned about holding a perfect flower god birthday festival for the gods to please them.
So Liu Bai's appearance is an exception.
"I see, cheese represents knowledge. As long as you eat knowledge, you will become smarter. This gift has a good meaning. I like it very much."
After understanding the meaning of this gift, Nashida chuckled, nodded and said to Liu Bai.
"Oh……"
After listening to Nashida's explanation, Liu Bai's face was somewhat enlightened. So this is the meaning of this gift. It seems that Seno's skills are not much worse than the master's.
"..."
According to the contents of the note that Nashida had just read out, and her statement that there was cheesecake in the gift box, all the Sumerians at the scene fell silent, as if a cold wind had blown by.
Liu Bai quickly came to his senses and looked at Nashida expectantly, asking:
"Which of these two gifts do you like?"
Hearing Liu Bai's question, Seno under the stage immediately listened carefully.
"Which one do you like best? Hmm... I think it's this Lanaro statue. You can clearly see the traces of your handiwork on it. Whenever I see it, I can think of you."
Although she didn't know why Liu Bai asked this, Nashida still put the cheesecake gift box in her hand on the table and picked up the "Lan Nashida" handmade wood sculpture again.
“Great, I like this too!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai happily hugged Nashida and picked up the little girl from the ground.
After all, this wood sculpture was made by hand, so it is naturally more emotional than the cheesecake prepared by Bisno.
"???"
"?!!"
On the stage, the scene of Liu Bai embracing the god caused an uproar at the scene, and the audience below the stage widened their eyes and exclaimed.
"W-What's going on?"
"Where's the discipline officer? Don't you care about this?"
"You beast! Let go of Lord Grass God!"
Click——click——
The pink-haired female reporter's hands were shaking with excitement as she picked up the camera and quickly took pictures of the scene on the field.
Seno was a little frustrated when he heard that he was defeated, but Liu Bai's actions made his fists harden suddenly. He took out his weapon and was about to rush forward to stop this daring guy.
"Wow, Liu Bai is so bold!"
Under the stage, Kurumi, who was mixed in the crowd, covered her mouth with one hand and screamed.
"It would be nice to see someone hug Prince Yan like this..."
After the exclamation, Kurumi muttered softly again.
Zhongli: "..."
"Yes, there are a lot of people watching, please put me down..."
On the stage, Nashida, who was suddenly picked up, blushed all of a sudden and pushed Liu Bai's chest quickly to get him to put her down.
"And it's time to cut the cake..."
After pushing it twice without any effect, Nashida had to remind him quietly.
"Oh yeah, cake!"
Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he let go of Nashida.
Nashida, somewhat embarrassedly, covered half of her face with the wooden sculpture and looked at the excited audience below the stage.
"I'm very sorry for what happened just now, but please calm down, he didn't mean any harm."
After taking a deep breath and calming down a little, Nashida explained to the people of Xumi below the stage.
Although this explanation was still a little difficult for them to accept.
How could such a thing happen when our god is so close to someone else...
"Girl, let me tell you, this cake was made by me too."
Liu Bai didn't pay attention to the noise from the audience, but couldn't wait to open the cake box, revealing the green cake inside, the white cream on the outside, and... densely packed candles.
"Did you put five hundred candles on it?"
Looking at the candles covering the surface of the cake, Nashida immediately understood what was going on, but still couldn't help asking Liu Bai.
"Yeah, I remember I have to insert as many as I want at my age."
Liu Bai nodded and answered honestly.
He asked Leila to buy this very small candle, and she searched for a long time outside before she found it.
"..."
Looking at the candles on the cake, Nashida suddenly felt that she was not that young anymore...
Seeing that there was a bit of sadness on her face, the Great Compassion Tree King, who had been sitting in his seat without disturbing them, raised his hand and gently covered his mouth with a smile in his eyes.
Soon, Liu Bai brought a torch and lit the candles on the cake in front of the Xumi people who had barely calmed down under the diligent maintenance of the thirty-man mercenary group.
Because there were so many candles, the fire burned like a bonfire with too much wood.
"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~"
Liu Bai sang a simple Happy Birthday song, then picked up the cake and placed it in front of Nashida.
"Okay, girl, you can make a wish now, and then you can blow out the candles."
Putting the cake on the table in front of Nashida, Liu Bai pointed at the cake and spoke to Nashida.
"..."
Looking at the blazing flames in front of her, Nashida doubted whether she could blow it out.
However, seeing Liu Bai's expectant eyes, she had no choice but to nod her head, clasped her hands together and made a wish to the cake.
"I hope he can become smarter soon..."
Nashida muttered to herself.
While making a wish, Nashida mobilized the grass elemental power in her body and used dream manifestation to transform it into wind elemental power.
"call--"
Then Nashida blew gently, and a strong airflow blew out from her mouth, directly blowing out all five hundred candles.
"Wow, girl, you are so arrogant..."
Seeing that Nashida really blew it out, Liu Bai exclaimed and then quickly took out a cake knife.
He grabbed the five hundred candles one by one with his hands, and in the end only the cream cake was left, which looked a little unsightly due to the damage caused by the candles.
However, Liu Bai firmly believed that it just didn't look good, so he took the cake knife and cut it into eight equal pieces in an instant.
"Okay girl, you can eat your cake now!"
Liu Bai took out a small plate with a piece of cake on it and handed it to Nashida.
"Well, it looks good... But do we want so many people to watch us eat the cake?"
Nashida took the plate with a chuckle, then turned back to look at the audience who had not yet dispersed.
Originally, it should have been Nashida's speech to thank everyone, but because of Liu Bai's appearance, it turned into an occasion for gifts and birthday cake.
"Ah? But the master and I can't make enough cakes for so many people..."
Liu Bai followed Nashida and looked over. Looking at the densely packed audience below, he scratched his head and spoke helplessly.
"Well... Anyway, let me taste it first."
Nashida thought for a moment, then scooped out a small piece of the cake with a fork and put it into her mouth.
After remembering the taste, Nashida put down her fork and raised her hand.
"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Now please taste the cake together. I hope you can be as happy today as if it were your own birthday~"
Then Nashida raised her hand and used all her strength to mobilize her elemental power.
Through the transformation of dreams, countless cakes appeared from the air and slowly floated in front of everyone.
"It's Lord Grass God's cake!"
In the crowd, Dina Zedai stretched out her hands to take a piece of cake, and the female mercenary with long black-gold hair next to her also raised one hand to take one.
Watching Nashida handing out cakes, Liu Bai looked down at the remaining cake in his hand. He had no choice but to pick up one of the pieces and trot towards the Great Compassion Tree King.
"Mother-in-law, please eat the cake!"
