Chapter 318 Choice
At the top of Xumi City is the Jingshan Palace.

This palace half surrounded by trees has been the residence of gods since the founding of Xumi. The Great Compassionate Tree King often meditates in the Pure Palace and has built a set of devices that can isolate external objects for this purpose.

Later, the Great Kindness Tree King died, and the Small Auspicious Grass King became the new god of Xumi and has been living deep in the Jingshan Palace.

For hundreds of years, the Little Auspicious Grass King has been living in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs, as if he doesn't care about the people of Xumi at all. Similarly, in the hearts of the people of Xumi, this grass god is rarely mentioned. Whenever people mention the grass god or the god of wisdom, the first thing they think of is always the Great Kind Tree King.

But now it seems that there may be other reasons why the little auspicious grass king has been living in seclusion.

Elhaisen stood in the shadows and looked towards Jingshan Palace.

There are guards around the Jingshan Palace, but there are only a few of them, and their attitude is casual and they don't take it seriously. Not to mention other things, the guards in the Wisdom Palace seem to be more numerous than the guards here, and they are responsible.

Could it be that I guessed wrong... Elhaisen frowned slightly. He originally guessed that the reason why the little King of Auspicious Grass lived in seclusion was because the Church of the Lord and the Great Sage acted recklessly and did such a disrespectful thing as imprisoning gods.

But now it seems that if the great sage really imprisoned the gods, why would the guards of Jingshan Palace be so... lax?
He thought for a moment, looked at the sky, and did not act immediately. Instead, he went to investigate what the Ministry of Education was doing, and then tried to sneak into the Jingshan Palace at night.

Elhaisen took one last look at Jingshan Palace and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a little white-haired girl not far away. The ends of her hair had a distinct green gradient and there was a lush green leaf on the side of her right ear.

A child... How could there be a child around Jingshan Palace... Elhaisen subconsciously became alert, and noticed that the child's ears were obviously different from those of humans, and his vigilance deepened.

The girl seemed to smile at him, waved her hand, left something there, and then disappeared.

It’s gone, what force is this… Xumi is getting more and more chaotic… Elhaisen’s eyes were solemn, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally came to the place where the little girl disappeared and saw clearly what she had left behind.

A leaf.

The leaves are fresh and tender, with a hint of mist on them, as if they were picked from the tree just this morning and preserved by special means.

Elhaisen didn't understand the metaphor that might be hidden in the leaf. He thought about it, half squatted down, and reached out to the leaf.

The leaves did not fall directly to the ground, but floated under some unknown force, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Elhaisen didn't feel anything when his palm touched the leaves. He frowned and looked at his palm that "penetrated" the leaves directly - the leaves seemed to be just a phantom, without any entity.

What kind of puzzle is this? Elemental power or...

Before Elhaisen could come up with an answer, the leaf suddenly turned into a green light, and before he could react, it left a trail of afterimage and crashed into the void terminal he was wearing.

At the same time, a childish female voice sounded in his mind.

"My people, I need your help."

"You are……"

Elhaisen thought of something and his pupils shrank: "Little Jixiang Grass King?"

"It's me, the god of wisdom, Buyel."

……

“If we do this, I’m afraid what happens to Buyer will be a bit pitiful.”

Chen Tianfeng thought about it and felt that facing his arrival, it was not impossible for Nashida to temporarily form an alliance with Apep to jointly resist his encroachment.

In the absence of a complete exchange of information between Elhaisen and Nashida, the former might indeed be unable to accept that the Grass Dragon King, who had committed numerous blood debts on Xumi, suddenly became the savior of Xumi.

Understandable, but unacceptable.

Not everyone can swallow their hatred and shake hands with their enemies, not to mention that the reason given by the Grass God Buyer was a vague "terrible and powerful enemy". The outbreak of the Demon Scale Disease, the hostility of the Grass Dragon King, the creation of gods by the Order Institute... these can be seen with one's own eyes, but the "terrible and powerful enemy"... although he has reached Xumi, he has never taken action.

"But Elhaisen may not be able to send my contaminant past Apep as you think. Even if he wants to, he may not be able to touch the grass dragon at all."

Chen Tianfeng was about to say something else when he noticed that Dotole seemed a little dazed: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Dotore shook his head and hesitated for two seconds, half sighing and half looking surprised: "I just didn't expect that Your Majesty would, um, describe your...gift like this."

"You mean pollutants?"

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I am the biggest source of pollution in this world. Energy, blood, and even breath, as long as I want, can all be pollutants that the world of Teyvat cannot bear - what is there to hide?"

Does it mean that his existence is harmless to Teyvat by avoiding and concealing it?

Can using other words to beautify yourself really turn yourself into the beautified version?
What a joke!
Even if he is completely resurrected, he will only change from a [zombie that carries death] to a [humanoid monster that carries death].

If that’s the case, why deceive yourself?

“You are open-minded.”

Dotore praised him from the bottom of his heart and changed the subject: "Don't worry, I can make a plan for Elhaisen to successfully deliver the gift. Elhaisen is a smart man, and Apep is very proud. And coincidentally, I am very good at dealing with these two types of people."

"Have confidence?"

"If this is successful, please accept my apology, Your Majesty. If this is not successful, I am willing to be your dessert before your meal."

"Forget it. I don't usually eat people."

Chen Tianfeng waved his hand and glanced at him. If Dotole was still the same as before, or not as respectful as now when he spoke, "Your Majesty", there would be no hesitation.

But now that he's apologizing sincerely and accepting the punishment, it's hard to stop him... or do anything about it.

Forget it, I'll just wait until I'm done with this, then I'll meet him again, find some faults with him, and swallow him up without giving him a chance to speak... or I'll use the connection between his slices to completely control his life and death.

I am indeed a soft-hearted person and a good person.

Chen Tianfeng nodded secretly.

"Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"You said earlier that what happened to Buyer would be somewhat pitiful... do we need to revise that a bit?"

"No need, it's just pity, it's not like he's dead."

Chen Tianfeng lowered his eyes slightly, "Besides, what happens to Buyer is determined by his own choices, and no one else can be blamed."

Before it affects him, he has no reason and no need to pay for the stupidity of strangers. But if the stupidity of strangers affects his business, he has a reason to kill them with a knife.

If he remembered correctly, Nashida had been learning how to be a qualified god. That was perfect for him to teach her a crucial and most obvious principle:
Anyone who exists must pay for his or her own choices.
