In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

crackling-

The shield formed from elemental energy emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass, yet no matter how much effort was exerted, a thin layer of grass elemental energy shield would always remain in front of him.

Compared to the ice shield he created by expending a large amount of elemental power when fighting the missionaries.

The energy consumption of this layer of grass is almost negligible.

Is this what "life goes on" means?

Rhodes murmured softly, having gained some insight.

then.

Then Naxida spoke again.

"That's how defense works."

"The same applies to attacks."

Under her manipulation, the grass elemental power in Rhodes's hand solidified once more.

This time, the grass elemental power condensed directly into a substance, forming a short dagger. With a flick of his wrist, the dagger suddenly split into several pieces, which flew freely according to Rhode's will.

Such consumption is not very large.

However, it is extremely aggressive and deceptive, and its power is not reduced much despite using less elemental force.

After teaching these general principles of how to use the grass element, we have now finished explaining them.

Narcida then began teaching Rhodes how to utilize the grass element's ability to take root and grow.

Under the hazy moonlight.

Sometimes emerald light flashed in Rhodes's hands, and sometimes vines and plants sprouted from beneath his feet. Under Nasida's unreserved personal instruction, he quickly mastered this new elemental power.

Chapter 99 Where are you going so late at night?

Two more days passed.

Rod and his group did not see Dolly, who was supposed to discuss investment business with Aru Village.

Instead, she was greeted by the person that Dixia least wanted to see.

"Kusela!"

"why you!?"

When Dixia saw her father again, her first reaction was not surprise, nor the disgust and anger after arguing with him, but shock and indescribable heartache after a long separation.

Kusela reappeared before Dixia, but she was injured.

The injury was very serious.

Dixia could easily tell that he had been beaten.

"who is it?"

"Who beat you up like this?!"

Despite having not seen him for many years and having deeply abhorred her father's evil deeds, Dixia couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she saw the battered and bruised Kucera. She went forward to support Kucera and helped him into the house.

And until then.

A bewildered Kusera finally realized what was happening and asked the unharmed Desia, "Desia, you... you're not hurt?"

"Injuried?"

What injury did I sustain?

"What nonsense are you talking about! Take off your clothes right now, I'll apply the medicine for you."

Ignoring the look of surprise on Kusela's face, Dixia tore off his clothes without saying a word, took out her best ointment, and carefully applied it to the large bruises.

After many years.

Once again enjoying her daughter's care, Kusela felt a sense of unreality for a moment, even forgetting what she was about to ask, and sat there blankly, letting Dixia do as she pleased.

"Cough-cough-"

At that moment, Rod, who had just welcomed Kucera in, coughed lightly at the door.

"Rhodes, you've come at the right time. Go and get me that bottle of red medicated oil from my room."

"I'll say it without turning my head," Dixia said.

Kusera, however, snapped out of her daze and asked, "Dishia, what's that?"

“Rhodes, my friend.”

"Hey, don't move around like that, you're rubbing off the medicine I just applied."

Dixia complained as she reapplied the medicine to the wound.

Kousela was completely dumbfounded.

He had clearly received a letter from Shazaman saying that Dixia had been seriously injured and was now receiving treatment in Aru Village.

How come when he arrived, Dixia was lively and unharmed?

What's going on here?

Kucera's eyes were full of confusion.

Why did Shazaman lie to himself?

Was it just so that he could meet with Dixia?

Or does he have other ideas?

No, I have to ask him about this when I get back.

"Dishia, the medicine is here."

As Kucera was pondering, Rod's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Look up.

Rhode handed the medicated oil to Disia, then carefully examined himself before asking, "Disia, who is this?"

"he is."

Dixia paused for a moment before frowning slightly and saying, "My father."

"Hey, your father?"

Why didn't you say so sooner!

After muttering that, Rod immediately got up and walked out, saying as he went, "Your father is here, we should celebrate properly. I'm going to buy groceries, I'll cook you a special dish when I get back."

Wait until Rod's figure disappeared outside the door.

Kusela's gaze returned to Dixia's face. Watching Dixia diligently applying medicine to herself, she hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Dixia, what about yours?"

"Speak quickly if you have something to say. This stuttering is not like you."

Applying the medicated oil to the last bruise, the worry on Dixia's face instantly vanished. Then, she coldly crossed her arms and distanced herself from Kusera, saying, "Tell me, which mercenary group did you fight with to get injured like this?"

"I"

Kusela wanted to defend himself, but when he met Dixia's distrustful gaze, he could no longer utter a word of explanation. Instead, he said in a slightly cold voice, "The matter of the Mustache of Ahmar is no longer your concern."

"hehe--"

"Yes, it really has nothing to do with me anymore."

"If it were still related to me, who knows what I would do with you guys now?"

Dixia didn't have anything nice to say either.

If her most admired person back then was her father, Kousela, then the person she hates most now is also her father, Kousela.

"."

Kucera was speechless for a moment, then stood up and slammed his fist on the table, saying, "What do you know? If you don't do this, where did your toys come from when you were a child? Where did the stories you heard come from? Where did the fairy tales you read come from!"

"I wish I hadn't heard those stories when I was a child!"

"I've never read those fairy tale books that were stained with someone's blood!"

Dixia retorted sharply to Kucera, her anger flaring as she loudly questioned him, "You still haven't told me what you're doing in Aru Village? Are you eyeing this place? Hmph, if that's the case, then I advise you to leave now. I don't want my sword stained with your blood!"

"Good good."

"You are such a good daughter to me."

"So you know you don't want me to die by your sword, huh?"

Kucera laughed in anger, seemingly forgetting even the pain in her body.

He walked step by step toward Dixia, his voice cold and ruthless, "I've taken a liking to Aru Village, so what? I want to take it, so what? Go ahead and kill me now if you dare."

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Dixia clenched her fist tightly, her eyes filled with rage.

She really wanted to punch Kucera in the face.

But upon seeing his father, covered in wounds and with graying hair, he couldn't bring himself to throw a punch.

I took a few deep breaths.

Having finally calmed her anger, she pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out! Get out of Aru Village! Don't let me see you again!"

She pointed at me like that.

Cole, who was peeking through the door, was startled and shuddered.

She had just heard Dixia arguing with someone, so she immediately ran over from the yard where she was playing with a sand fox.

Before she could even hear two sentences, Dixia suddenly turned on herself in a fit of rage.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, they weren't scolding me."

Seeing that Dixia wasn't targeting him, Cole patted his chest, gave an embarrassed smile, and quickly ran away.
