People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 106: Half of Xumi's "Legal" Governance
Jiaolingyuan, Jingshan Palace.

"Nashida, are you done?"

"By the way, what are the rumors in Xumi City recently? You must know about this kind of thing, right?"

As the reconstruction work gradually came to an end, Lin Feng, who had a lot of free time, came to Jingshan Palace after finishing his work.

Because most of the vacant positions in the House of Decrees have been filled, basic operations have returned to normal and there is no need for the gods to maintain them with high-intensity work.

Therefore, except for Nashida's special summons, all kinds of people who want to enter Jingshan Palace now need to report and apply in advance.

——But Lin Feng is obviously not among them.

Waving to the guard who bowed to him, he asked his questions to Nashida in the Jingshan Palace.

The Little Grass God, who no longer needed to handle dozens of reports at the same time, withdrew his consciousness from the void, smiled slightly, and said:
"Are you referring to the rumor about the 'twin gods'?"

As the God of Wisdom, she obviously knew what issue Lin Feng was concerned about.

After seeing the look on the boy's face, Nashida paused for a moment and continued:

"——I allowed that rumor to spread."

"Well..., there's no need to look surprised. I must have a purpose for doing this."

"——As for the specific reasons, let me explain them to you."

Seemingly very satisfied with the current situation, the Grass God in a good mood smiled and began to explain himself:
"In fact, I thought about it a long time ago. What kind of method should be used to ensure that your governance in Xumi can be supported by law within the "rules"?"

"Given the high degree of overlap between our powers, the term 'twin gods' actually entered my mind from the beginning."

"I am the 'God of Wisdom'. What comes out of my mouth is naturally easy to be recognized by others. If I come to this conclusion directly, ordinary people will not have any doubts about it. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

Nashida looked at Lin Feng, wanting to know what the young man in front of her thought.

".Indeed, if the gods themselves approve of the saying of twins or not, the people will naturally not doubt it."

Lin Feng thought about it for a while and nodded, as if he agreed with Nashida's idea.

But he changed the subject and continued:
"——But you also said that only the 'people' would not have any doubts, right?"

"I think this is where the problem lies."

After hearing the answer from the young man in front of him, the Little Grass God nodded approvingly, feeling that this guy in front of him was still quite reliable in most cases unless he did something stupid.

Blinking her eyes, Nashida said:
"That's right. If I were to announce it directly, the people of Xumi and even the seven countries would only sigh at the luck of this country, and your original identity problem would also be well covered up."

"--but"

Hearing this turn, Lin Feng suddenly paid attention. He knew that the real point was what happened next.

As expected, the little grass god continued:

"The people's problem has been solved, but what about the gods who are truly threatening you? Their attention to you will not decrease because of this, but will increase further."

"——For gods from other countries who are also members of the Seven Rulings, it is actually very easy to distinguish whether the god in front of them has a seat on the throne, just like a bee distinguishing the members of its own nest."

"As the God of Wisdom, if I do this even at the cost of lying, then once they find out, they will think that I am deliberately hiding something. Not only will I not achieve my original purpose, but I will also bring you many unnecessary risks."

Nashida shook her head, seeming to find it difficult to deal with the difficulties she faced at the beginning.

"So you are just like now, not explaining yourself, but not opposing the rumors spread by the public?"

Lin Feng gradually understood the current situation and felt that he had underestimated Nashida.

——Although she still needs to observe humans frequently to supplement her understanding of human nature, but because of the accumulation of various experiences over the past five hundred years, the little grass god's ability to solve problems is definitely not weak.

"Well, I now understand why the rumor exists."

Lin Feng nodded, expressing his full understanding of the cause of the current situation. But he raised another core question:

"As the only god in Xumi, why are you so persistent in wanting to give me a share of the power to govern the country?"

Looking at the seven kingdoms, the gods have an inexplicable obsession with their own territories. Even if they do not rule them, they will not think of sharing them with others.

This may be due to the rules set by "Heavenly Law", or it may be the underlying logic similar to "God loves people".

——In such an environment, Nashida’s behavior seemed a little out of place.

"I never said that I would share my identity as one of the Seven Consuls with you~"

Nashida winked playfully and said:
"But I can't interfere with what the public thinks—"

Lin Feng "."

What a classic attitude of not taking the initiative, not explaining, and not taking responsibility.

“Why would I want to share this with you?”

"Wasn't this agreed upon at the beginning?"

Nashida looked at Lin Feng, as if reminding him of something.

"."

The confused boy was silent for a moment, thinking carefully about what had happened before.

Suddenly, I realized:
"You started planning this before I rescued you, after you heard that I could become stronger by relying on other people's impressions, right?!"

"The 'mysterious gift' you mentioned at that time refers to the legal right to govern half of Xumi?!"

——No wonder Nashida, who had been negative before, suddenly changed her attitude. I didn’t expect that she would choose to give this as a reward to herself who rescued her.

This is unexpectedly generous.

"Yes, I had nothing before. No achievements, no friends, no country of my own, and no people who understood my situation."

Nashida recalled her time in captivity, but there was no sadness on her face.

As if he was tired of that kind of life, the Little Grass God did not talk much about his experience, but looked at Lin Feng in front of him:

"It was you who gave a 'non-existent' god like me the opportunity to display my abilities. It was the first time that I felt the feeling of being needed by the people."

"It was you who encouraged me, a person without confidence, and gave me the courage to leave the dreamland where I had lived for five hundred years."

"You are willing to leave that safe world and face the deepest and most terrifying 'death' in the world just because of a commission from a strange god and a trivial reward."

"It's you."

Nashida recounted many, many things that Lin Feng had done, from the story he shared in the dream at the beginning to this grand rescue.

Lin Feng was surprised to find that she seemed to have recorded every single thing that had happened since they met, in great detail.

At the end of this talk, Nashida smiled and expressed her thoughts:

“If I was a seed on the verge of withering before, then you are the gardener who never gave up, never left, and watered and fertilized me every day.”

"The seeds that no one cared about before were carefully cared for by you, and gradually got out of the difficult situation."

"——Then, when I can finally leave the greenhouse and truly integrate into this land, isn't it natural for you to accept the flowers and fruits I give you in return?"

It was as if the little grass god had been brewing this sentence in his heart for a long time, and finally said it completely, smiling sweetly.

——Just like when Lin Feng first saw her.
