Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

He vaguely saw that Lin Jiu'an and the scattered soldiers both knew about their 'past lives'.

The first dream in the cycle of reincarnation seemed to contain some traces of the other person's past life.

“Mm.” Nasita nodded.

He supported Lin Jiu'an in resurrecting the Great Compassion Tree King.

One reason is that with Lin Jiu'an around, He can no longer exercise the rights of the "Grass God" and can only live as his toy. Therefore, even if the previous Grass God is resurrected, it will not have any impact on Him.

For this reason, He especially desires the protection of His 'mother'.

But when she saw her 'mother', Nasita felt very guilty and didn't know what to say.

After all, Sumeru only became what it is today under my rule, and the past life that the Great Compassion Tree King asked about was also partly my fault. If I had ignored the stragglers and helped him back then, Lin Jiu'an wouldn't be what he is today, and naturally Sumeru wouldn't be what it is today.

Despite feeling extremely guilty, Nasita still dared not hide anything from the Great Tree King and told him everything about her past life.

After listening, the Great Compassion Tree King's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he watched the Little Lucky Grass King's expression change constantly.

In the end, all he could do was let out a long sigh.

"That's all."

"It was my fault."

He understood that the Little Lucky Grass King wanted to give the stragglers a chance.

I don't understand it either.

The reason for this understanding is that He knew about the Little Auspicious Grass King's plight and understood that this "self" who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years was acting out of "goodness" and a grasp of the situation. That is, He needed a subordinate with sufficient military strength to act on His behalf or for other reasons. It is not incomprehensible that He would help the stragglers clear their names and thus bind them to Sumeru.

But the same thing.

He also couldn't understand why the Little Auspicious Grass King would send his soldiers to do it instead of doing it himself.

It even allows other people to enter the World Tree!

After that, the actions resulting from the altered memories of the World Tree are not worth discussing, but the previous actions suddenly gave the Great Tree King a sense of powerlessness, wondering, "How could my child be so stupid?"

"I'm sorry," Nasita said pitifully, her head bowed. "Mother."

Seeing Nasita's pitiful appearance, after all, she was his 'child', especially when she called him 'Mother', it almost melted his heart.

The Great Compassion Tree King sighed.

He reached out and gently pulled Him into his arms.

"Let's not bring up the past anymore."

What are your thoughts on Lin Jiu'an?

When the Great Compassion Tree King spoke of Lin Jiu'an, he felt extremely guilty and conflicted.

In the past, He only regarded that person as an utterly wicked villain.

But after hearing his daughter say that, the Great Compassion Tree King suddenly realized that Lin Jiu'an wasn't the only bad guy. If we're talking about 'bad guys,' then everyone in Sumeru could be called a 'bad guy.'

If there hadn't been repeated betrayals and abandonments.

Lin Jiu'an wouldn't be like this now.

we can even say.

The Great Compassion Tree King was amazed that Lin Jiu'an had only become like that in this life, while in his previous life he had been able to control himself under such circumstances.

This patience, or rather 'kindness', greatly amazed even the Great Tree King.

Although for Him, it would be absolutely worthwhile to sacrifice Himself in order to save the world.

Being forgotten and betrayed is not a big deal.

As long as they are doing well, that's enough.

But He doesn't impose His own code of conduct on Him. On the contrary, He understands humanity, understands other beings, and knows that those who are willing to sacrifice themselves to save others are ultimately very, very few.

And after extreme repression comes extreme madness.

The Great Compassion Tree King understood Lin Jiu'an to some extent, but his feelings were even more complicated.

Although He understood the other party, He could not tolerate the other party's actions of slaughtering the people of Sumeru, turning them into "batteries," and even burning the "trees."

Therefore, the Great Tree King had very mixed feelings.

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door, followed by the voice of a maid.

"Lord Nasida."

"The master wants you to go to the study. He has something to discuss with you."

The Great Tree King came to his senses and looked down at Naxida in his arms.

Nasita's expression was somewhat complicated. She lowered her head, seemingly not wanting her mother to see her face, and said in a small, trembling voice, with a mixture of urgency and nervousness, "I understand."

"I'll be there in a bit."

The Great Tree King's expression grew increasingly complex. Having obtained those 'daily' memories, He naturally knew what His daughter was going to do in Lin Jiu'an's study.

But they disobeyed Lin Jiu'an's orders?

Thinking of the inhuman torture that the sisters Nabal and Balzebu had suffered in his memory, the Great Tree King abandoned this naive idea.

He was willing to endure such torment for the sake of the world and his own daughter if it could save them.

But here's the thing.

He cannot endure the torment in vain without any change!

"Mother, I'm leaving now," Naxida said softly.

The Great Tree King regained his senses, his eyes hardened, and he pulled Naxida back.

Under His questioning and anxious gaze, the Great Tree King said, "Mother, go in your place."

Naxi Da: "?"

"Stay here and don't wander around."

Before Nasita could react, the Great Tree King whispered his instructions and then turned and left the room.

Nasita was left alone, staring blankly at the departing figure of the Great Tree King. It wasn't until the door closed and the footsteps disappeared from her ears for a long, long time that she belatedly realized what had happened.

They watched helplessly as the gate to the Great Tree King vanished.

"But..."

I want to go!

······

study.

Lin Jiu'an was leaning against the sofa by the window.

While enjoying the garden outside the window, a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers and the scent of grass wafts into the study.

He was engrossed in reading the book in his hands.

They didn't even notice the footsteps and knocking outside the door.

Outside.

After knocking on the door, the Great Tree King frowned slightly.

"You can just go in."

The maid at the door said softly, "Sometimes when the master is reading, he is so focused that he can't hear the sounds outside."

"Then I'll wait a little longer," the Great Tree King said, not in a hurry.

"No need, you can just go in."

The Great Tree King didn't quite understand the maid's ambiguous smile, but in the end, He decided it was better to listen to the 'old man's' opinion, so He gently pushed open the door and went in.

As I entered the room, the door closed behind me, and the Great Tree King always felt a sense of insecurity with the door closed.

The Great Compassion Tree King turned around and saw Lin Jiu'an lying on the sofa by the bed, reading a book.

He was very focused, staring intently at the book in his hands.

That book is a bit strange.

There was no title, and the cover was a monotonous gray. It didn't look like it had been carefully covered up later; it seemed more like it was originally made that way.

The Great Tree King was somewhat confused, but remembering the maid's words, "After you go in, you can go directly to your master and ask him," he still went over.

However, seeing Lin Jiu'an so engrossed in reading, He ultimately decided not to disturb him.

I didn't rush to look at the contents of that book.

However, after waiting for quite a while, the Great Compassion Tree King still did not get Lin Jiu'an's attention. His gaze was somewhat wandering, but he was not in a hurry. For a demon god who had lived for thousands of years, waiting for a day was no problem. However, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Lin Jiu'an's lower body.

Seems to be...

Is it swollen?

The Great Tree King was startled, then realized something and showed a look of astonishment.

Could he be looking at...?

The Great Compassion Tree King's body stiffened slightly. After hesitating for a moment while looking at Lin Jiu'an, who was engrossed in reading, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Lin Jiu'an?"

"Oh, you're here." Lin Jiu'an put down his book, and was surprised to see him: "What, it's you?"

The book wasn't upside down; the pages were facing up. Glancing at the contents of that page, the Great Compassion Tree King realized he hadn't guessed wrong—it was indeed what he had in mind.

I understand.

I'm afraid I'm in for a bad day.

“Naxi Da is still young.”

The Great Tree King said, "If there's anything you want to do, just ask me."

"Small?" Lin Jiu'an tilted his head and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, He is over five hundred years old. There are too many great-great-grandmothers of that age who could be my great-great-great-grandmothers. How can you say He's 'small'?"

The Great Tree King shook his head: "No matter what, He is still a child to me."

"You should like... more than Nasita..."

The Great Tree King blushed slightly, too embarrassed to continue.

He then said, "I suppose you resurrected me for this reason too."

Why go to great lengths to resurrect a demon god just to sleep with Him?

If it were before, He would have thought that person was really crazy if someone said that to Him.

But reality is staring us in the face: this human is a peculiar 'madman' whose future actions cannot be predicted by the Great Tree King based on any human personality traits.

Lin Jiu'an clicked his tongue and rested his chin on his hand, looking at him with great interest.

"so smart."

"I really like you more and more."

The Great Tree King pursed his lips and remained silent.

He really didn't know what he wanted to say or what he could say.

Does she expect him to go to sleep with her quickly?

Although she is a demon god, a demon god who has lived for thousands of years, a demon god who has no feelings or expectations of love, she is also a woman.

Although she had no interest in love, the thought of losing her virginity to such a vicious man was unbearable.

And the other party slept with Nasida.

The Great Tree King's mind was still a jumbled mess, and he couldn't think of anything more.

"How about this."

"I think this plot is good."

Lin Jiu'an picked up the book and handed it to Him.

"Just do as instructed here."

The Great Compassion Tree King took the book and, as she read, her beautiful eyes gradually widened, and her clear eyes became somewhat dizzy.
