Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 297 The Great Compassionate Tree King: The Water God Wants to Visit Mount Sumeru?

After breakfast, the Great Compassionate Tree King, who still needed to return to the Pure Goodness Palace to handle official documents from Sumeru City, bid farewell to everyone first.

After all, a certain minor deity who was supposed to take office was openly slacking off, so she, as the senior, had to temporarily fill in for him.

The white-haired girl shook her head and sighed helplessly. There was no time to mourn her happy retirement life. This family would fall apart without her!

Looking at Morax, the rock god who spends his days drinking tea and listening to music, and Barbatos, the wind god who waving his hands around, the Great Tree Queen sighed deeply once again and had no choice but to open for business.

We're all original gods, so it seems I need to learn some work experience from my colleagues about slacking off... cough.

After all, compared to the Seven Stars in Liyue and the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, Sumeru's "rule by man" still has a long way to go.

Noticing the resentful look in the eyes of the Great Tree Queen, Nasita blinked her beautiful four-leaf clover eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although having the Tree King Sister fill in for an extended period of time is not in line with the work principles of an excellent deity, compared to sticking to her, we can only temporarily sacrifice the retirement plans of our senior deity.

What to do? After staying by Amu's side for so long, this Grass God is becoming less and less willing to work. It would be better to go to the World Tree and break off another branch to take over her job, wouldn't it?

The little grass god, who hasn't been in office for very long, has already started planning his retirement to avoid taking five hundred years of detours.

Nearby, the little mushroom, having eaten and drunk its fill, curled up in a ball on the sofa in the living room and fell into a deep sleep. Judging from the little girl's giggling, she was probably having a sweet dream.

Apep lazily lay on the railing, basking in the sun, his vertical pupils narrowed, his tail dragging on the ground, swaying contentedly.

"Well then, I'll be going now, senior. I have a research project to do this afternoon, so you don't need to be invited to lunch."

The blue-haired girl picked up the ancient texts on the table, put one hand to her forehead, and thought to herself, "I should have known better than to accept the invitation from the Wonderful Theory School."

The funding issue is still unresolved, and it has unexpectedly taken up her... well, her time for educating students.

The sweet girl is a little irritable right now, and she's on the verge of picking up a motorcycle and smashing someone at the slightest provocation.

She hoped that the papers that took up her precious time in the afternoon would be of a satisfactory quality; otherwise, she wouldn't mind letting these younger students experience the authority of the senior, Falushan.

Zero points! Zero points! Negative points! If you have any further complaints, go talk to her about Biran Heavy Motorcycle!

Farusan-senpai exuded an overwhelming aura, but for some reason, a scene from the light novel Inazuma that she had read the night before automatically popped into Dina Zede's mind.

The proud and aloof 100-year-old Shan Xianbei cried and made a fuss because she couldn't get her student's attention. Poor thing!

However, seeing that even the little mushroom that was sleeping soundly next to her subconsciously shrank back, the young lady wisely cleared the scene from her mind.

If the senior gets angry, her lecturing skills are no less than those of her nagging father.

Seeing her young mistress's constantly changing expression, Dixia, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, suddenly revealed a knowing smile.

She bet a bottle of dandelion wine that the young lady was definitely thinking about the plot of the light novel she stayed up all night reading the night before last.

You ask how she knew? Hmph, Komaha-ya also sent her new cosmetics that she had someone buy for her. As for the young lady's light novel, well, she just happened to see it.

Miss, you don't want your secret nightly reading of Yaedo light novels under the covers to be exposed, do you?

Feeling a chill down her spine, Dina Zede turned around in a daze, only to meet the slightly guilty gaze of the mercenary girl.

It's that bad feeling again. She has this feeling that someone is stalking her from behind. She'd better not let Dina Zedee catch her!

The girl bit her little tiger teeth, her cheeks puffed out, but having gained nothing, she could only turn away angrily and return empty-handed.

Sure enough, her silly best friend and bodyguard, who only knows how to dip soybeans in soy sauce, seems more reliable.

However, faced with his young mistress's trusting and approving gaze, the little lion consciously and silently looked away.

This is all because of that unreliable guy who talks nonsense all the time. Well, she's just been led astray.

What bad intentions could a straightforward mercenary girl possibly have?

Just then, a gentle kneading sensation on her shoulder interrupted the sweet girl's indignant inner monologue.

Farusan certainly knew who was behind her, but the proud and sweet girl naturally wouldn't admit defeat so quickly.

There are so many juniors watching here. If she can be appeased so quickly, where is Senior Farusan's authority? Where is Senior Farusan's face?

The blue-haired girl secretly made up her mind that this time, she absolutely could not let that guy succeed so easily.

However, someone's hands then wandered around the girl's waist, instantly shattering her feigned composure.

The girl pretended to slap Mu Feng's hand away, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she turned around and glared at the culprit.

However, while the senior's embarrassed and annoyed gaze couldn't be said to be entirely without threat, it was certainly not lethal at all.

"Falusian... cough cough, senior, do you have time to tutor your student tomorrow?"

Mu Feng chuckled, winked, and then secretly slipped the prepared lunchbox into the girl's hand.

You have to smooth things over with your seniors, after all, young girls care about their image, and it would be difficult to handle if you angered Bai Sui Shan Xian Bei.

After all, the gentle and kind senior Farusan would surely not refuse a junior's humble and sincere request for guidance, right?

Looking at the coconut charcoal crackers and rice pudding lying quietly in the bento box, Farusan's initial emotions vanished instantly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

Hmph, at least this kid has a tiny bit of conscience left.

The girl turned her face away somewhat awkwardly, clutching the lunchbox, but the words that came out of her mouth were a different story.

"Hmph, you actually know that you are my student."

Mu Feng immediately gave him a knowing look. According to Article 1634 of the "Falusian Sweet Girl Language and Behavior Code," avoiding the important points and focusing on the trivial ones meant he agreed.

Mr. Navigette, through his excellent character, has taught us to always have a way out for ourselves.

Watching the sweet girl, who had been fuming just a moment ago, leave satisfied, Long Luoli's lips twitched slightly.

She finally understood: the fact that this guy's backyard hadn't caught fire meant he definitely had something on him.

……

On the other side, in Sumeru City, at the Pure Goodness Palace.

The white-haired girl picked up an official document from Fontainebleau, a hint of doubt appearing on her fair face.

Respectfully presented by the Supreme Judge... The Water God is visiting Mount Sumeru? Accompanied by the Water Dragon King's retinue, what a grand spectacle.

Could it be that she slept for too long and the rules have changed? She doesn't remember any other gods besides Barbatos having the habit of frequently visiting neighboring countries.

Speaking of which, this one in Fontaine seems to be a second-generation god. Could it be that he came because of the prophecy in Fontaine?

The Great Tree King sighed softly. If that were the case, they really couldn't offer any effective help.

After all, it was a curse left behind by the one in heaven, which even she, as the incarnation of the World Tree, was powerless to change.

Since that's the case, she could only treat this deity well, because she couldn't think of any other suitable reason. Surely the water god couldn't have come to Sumeru to kidnap someone, could he?

The white-haired girl's expression froze... Wait? Kidnapping someone?
