Chapter 414: The Great Compassion Tree King’s Longevity
Finally, Cole sat on the giant Qingqing and ran around.
The gigantic Qingqing was incredibly heavy, and when his short legs stepped on the ground, small pits of compacted soil appeared.
In order to avoid knocking down the surrounding trees, Cole directed it to move in a relatively open area.
After about five or six minutes, the wild growth and gigantic effect finally ended. Then after a while, Cole ran back from a distance holding Qingqing, who had returned to her original appearance.
Since recovering from the demonic scale disease last year, Cole's health has improved a lot. Coupled with a whole year of recuperation and the fact that she possesses the Eye of God, she now has more energy than a child.
It's just that the people around her are all rangers, and they are older than her, so there is a generation gap. There is no occasion for her to let go. Now that she has a playmate, she gets overexcited without realizing it.
Of course, it was also related to the vigorous vitality brought by her wild growth that made her enter an excited state.
"Master, I'm back..."
Ke Lai, who ran back with Qing Qing in his arms, slowed down his pace as he approached Liu Bai and Tinali, lowered his head and spoke to Tinali cautiously.
"Well, come here quickly. I'll check if there are any special changes after the mushroom beast becomes giant. After all, the body structure of the mushroom beast is very special."
Tinari nodded and said nothing, but became more interested in Qingqing in Kelai's arms.
After obtaining Liu Bai's consent, Tinari gave Qingqing a careful full-body examination.
Qingqing is not a real mushroom beast, but an elemental life form within Apep's body. However, after evolution, its body is basically indistinguishable from that of a mushroom beast. The difference can only be discovered by using elemental vision to examine the elements inside its body.
But Tinari was only examining the body, so he didn't see any difference in Qingqing.
However, Qingqing's condition was similar to that of Cole just now. After being endowed with vigorous vitality, she was a little excited. While checking, she flew over Tinari's head.
"Well...it's getting late. We should go back to the city. We need to go check out the hotel that Seno helped book."
After the inspection, Tinari, who had a better understanding of Cole's new skills, looked up at the time and then spoke to Cole and Liu Bai.
"Okay Master."
Cole nodded obediently.
Liu Bai had no objection, and they returned to Xumi City together. Only then did Ke Lai reluctantly say goodbye to Qingqing.
Liu Bai carried Qingqing and rushed to Jingshan Palace.
Ever since he and Nashida returned to Xumi, they basically had dinner at the Jingshan Palace, with the whole family and a freeloader named Apep.
……
After dinner, the two of them coaxed Qingqing to sleep, and then returned to the little white house together.
"Girl, are you saying that our mom has the same birthday as you?"
Liu Bai, who was urged by Nashida to continue writing the novel, suddenly asked curiously.
"Yes, although it's not the original day, freshmen are still considered birthdays."
Nashida on the side nodded and explained.
"Oh, how old is our mother?"
Liu Bai nodded and continued to ask curiously.
He knew very little about the history of Teyvat, let alone the age of the demon god, which might not even be recorded in the books.
"Well, I don't know his exact age, but he should be several thousand years old, right?"
Nashida tilted her head and spoke uncertainly.
After all, she wouldn't go to the World Tree to look for the records of the Great Compassion Tree King for no reason.
"She's thousands of years old... It's not convenient for our mother to live alone at this age, right? How about we find her a companion?"
Liu Bai suggested after scratching his head.
"Pfft, she's not old... and don't always think about other people's love affairs. Morax was already in a lot of trouble last time because of you."
Nashida couldn't help laughing and raised her hand to hit Liu Bai.
"Well... if you say that, girl, Brother Zhongli is also single, so why don't you arrange a blind date for our mother and Brother Zhongli?"
Hearing Nashida's words, Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he immediately made this suggestion.
"Then you better stay away from me, and don't hurt me when you get beaten."
Nashida folded her hands over her chest and spoke seriously.
"Well, forget it then..."
After hearing what Nashida said, Liu Bai shrank his neck and gave up the idea.
"Ok?"
"If you can't do it in real life, then you should write it in the book, right? Be careful or the followers of Rock God will come knocking on your door from the publishing house one day."
Nashida continued to look at what Liu Bai had written and found that he had already begun to fabricate the plot about Princess Rock and the Great Compassionate Tree King.
"You don't understand this, girl. This is a piece of fictional history that A Peifu made up in order to discredit the Seven Gods. He then used this fictional history to introduce the conflict between the New Grass God and the Dragon Prince of the previous dynasty."
Liu Bai said this proudly, and Nashida had no choice but to shrug her shoulders and watch Liu Bai continue writing.
But maybe because he was busy during the day, Liu Bai ran out of inspiration while writing.
After worrying for a while, he suddenly thought of something and immediately reached out and grabbed Nashida's side ponytail, taking a strand of hair from it and putting it in his mouth.
"?"
Nashida looked up at Liu Bai in confusion, because Liu Bai was taller than her, and the strand of hair that came out of the ponytail was sticking up.
"Girl, you are a branch of the World Tree. You must be very nutritious, even more nutritious than ginseng."
Liu Bai said this with certainty, and then continued to rack his brains to create while holding a strand of Nashida's hair in his mouth.
"But ginseng isn't particularly good for the brain."
Nashida explained, then moved closer to Liu Bai to avoid having her hair pulled by him.
Anyway, it was not time to go to bed yet and Nashida had nothing else to do, so she just sat there and let him hold a strand of her hair in his mouth.
"By the way, girl, do you know where to buy candles?"
After finishing writing two thousand words, Liu Bai closed his notebook and prepared to take a break, but suddenly he thought of something and asked Nashida again.
"Candles? Most grocery stores on the street have them."
Nashida answered Liu Bai's questions.
After all, the "lamp" that does not consume oil is popular in Teyvat but not very common.
Popularity is popular in every country, but except for Fontainebleau and Solstice, other countries basically only have rich and powerful places equipped with them. Therefore, the most popular among the people are oil lamps and candles.
The same is true for Xumi. There are many such lamps inside the Temple of Deputies, but it is difficult to popularize them outside the Temple of Deputies due to cost issues.
The main reason is that no safe and stable energy source like Fontaine's "Law Compensation Mixed Energy" has been found to replace elemental force, and there is no technical difficulty.
"No, no, no, girl, I want to buy lots and lots of candles."
Liu Bai shook his head. He thought that ordinary grocery stores would definitely not have so many.
"How much do you want to buy?"
Nashida asked doubtfully.
"Thousands."
"...You want to stick it in the cake?"
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Bai nodded seriously and affirmatively.
