Chapter 314 Extra Chapter: Happy Birthday, Naxi Da

大巴扎

With the Church of Christ and the Doctor's plans completely thwarted, Narcida has now regained her freedom.

Meanwhile, the art activities that had previously been disliked by the Great Sage resumed their normal schedule.

Today, Nilu is also conveying the beauty and value of art through dance.

Naxida extended an invitation to Qin Ye immediately after he arrived in Xumi.

Art and companionship will surely create a wonderful memory.

That's how it should be.

"Why...did I get politely rejected?"

The young auspicious grass king was turned away by believers.

She stood dejectedly outside the Grand Bazaar, asking in confusion, "Qin Ye, am I disliked?"

"...I don't think so."

Qin Ye was also feeling a bit awkward, since he had been invited by Naxida, and Nilu's refusal was tantamount to turning them both away.

After all, he couldn't leave Nasita behind and go in to enjoy the dance alone.

It seems... perhaps it's not impossible?

"I was planning to invite you to join me today, since you didn't have much time to rest when you were in Sumeru."

Nasita's idea was simple: Nilu's dance was like a water lily unfurling on a lake, and every audience member who had seen her dance was amazed by its pure and natural beauty.

Such dance moves will surely bring Qin Ye a wonderful memory.

“Although I’m not very familiar with Nilu, I’ve heard rumors about her. A girl who is so meticulous and focused on dance would definitely not dislike you. On the contrary, she should treat all audience members the same.”

Qin Ye was still comforting Naxida; the little girl was quite prone to withdrawing herself in this regard.

"Then why..."

"Because you are the Little Lucky Grass King. Your presence will definitely affect her performance. At that time, let alone dancing, she will probably be stiff on stage. If any accidents happen, I believe you would not want to see that."

Nasita fell into deep thought: "Yes, that makes sense."

"When you asked Nilu, you should have looked at what she was thinking."

“How can that be? That’s very impolite.” Nasita put her hands on her hips, looked up at Qin Ye, and said with a reproachful expression.

"But what you said has piqued my curiosity, and I can't just leave you here."

Going in directly to see what's going on won't work, nor will observing Nel's thoughts. If things continue like this, Narcida's misunderstanding about this matter will likely be difficult to resolve. Although she certainly won't hold a grudge against Nel, she will definitely fall into self-blame.

As Qin Ye expected, Naxida frowned, her tone filled with undisguised disappointment: "I'm sorry, I invited you so many times before, but I've let you down."

"..."

Rather than saying I'm looking forward to it, it's more accurate to say you're the one most looking forward to it...

This child always likes to consider other people's feelings.

For Qin Ye, watching Nilu dance was not as exciting as going to the Grand Disciplinary Officer for a tense and thrilling Seven Saints Summoning.

So is this why Wendy and Zhongli are unwilling to reveal their real names?

A person with strong ambition who wants to earn money by singing with his talent is truly an outstanding talent.

Another person, who is extremely wealthy and has an excellent network of connections, wants to test his friend's willingness to pay.

After all, if these two people went out on the street as gods, probably no one would be willing to take their money.

Barbatos does nothing but has a group of die-hard followers, while the Rock King Emperor needs no further explanation.

Young, Balzeb, Bouyel.

"I have another plan that will allow you to enjoy the upcoming performance. It will also help you improve your relationship with Nel."

"real?!"

Naxida immediately regained her spirits.

Qin Ye's willingness to offer advice and strategies means that the matter is almost 90% settled.

“I can make our presence known and then we can go in together. After Shengmi… no, after she’s finished watching Nilu’s dance, you can talk to her about her impressions. That way, she won’t be so nervous in the future.”

Is this really okay?

Naxida was somewhat skeptical, mainly because she couldn't get over the mental hurdle.

Would it be disrespectful to force yourself on someone without their permission?

"The fact that she didn't explicitly reject you before means she expected you to come to her performance. Now she's nervous, and if you don't seize the opportunity now, it will become increasingly difficult later, and she might even avoid talking about it altogether. It's like the first time you date someone..."

Qin Ye coughed lightly, shutting himself off completely.

You shouldn't say these kinds of things to your children, as it has a profound impact on their development.

"Qin Ye, I feel like you've always treated me like a child..."

No, you're overthinking it.

To shut Naxida up, Qin Ye pulled her into his arms.

Five hundred years old? That's like a child! To me, it's practically an infant.

However, even the real body, the feeling of holding it in one's arms doesn't seem to be much different from holding the mushroom beast.

They all have a natural, fresh scent of herbs and plants, and are soft, like hugging a plush toy.

This is completely different from the feeling I had with Columbia and Tatiana...

It felt like I was taking care of a daughter.

This thought suddenly popped into Qin Ye's mind.

My daughter...

"So, are you still treating me like a fungus?"

Nasida felt that Qin Ye's set of movements had become a signature move.

She bent down and picked him up in one smooth motion because she had instilled a bad habit in him when she communicated with him using her consciousness.

"Try to understand. Even the laws of nature have things they can't do. If we let you run around, the effect of eliminating your presence might be weakened."

Nasita is still far stronger than Kage...

If it were Ying, she definitely wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

Qin Ye never gave the God of Wisdom much time to react when he spoke to her. Even though her combat skills were not strong, she had a wealth of knowledge in her mind. If she was given even a little chance to react, she would definitely see through her clues.

He stepped into the hollow in front of him, and the next second he was inside the Grand Bazaar.

The lively atmosphere suddenly interrupted Narcida's thoughts, and at the same time, Nel, who was already warming up on the side of the stage, also made this Sumerian "mother" worry.

"Is this really okay? After all, she rejected me to my face..."

"Didn't I say that you should ask her after everything has settled down? Only then will she tell you what's on her mind."

Simply put, this is similar to finding the other person's psychological issues and proceeding step by step when chatting. However, Nilu was afraid of being nervous on stage, so Qin Ye resorted to violent means.

Since we can't adapt little by little, let's just do it first and ask questions later.

Qin Ye knew that Nasita always saw things from other people's perspectives, which unfortunately made many methods unusable.

Of course, this isn't a matter of him being too cunning and treacherous; it's simply about using the most convenient means to achieve his goal.

Ultimately, the little girl's invitation to him to play was one aspect, but another was that she had just regained her divine position and still carried a considerable burden in her heart. Moreover, she was not good at, or rather, unable to communicate fluently with the people of Sumeru.

The reasons for this are twofold.

Miss Nilu, you wouldn't want the little grass god to be discouraged because of you, would you?

Qin Ye concentrated his mind and focused his attention on Nilu, revealing her thoughts and intentions.

He's about to go on stage. This is the most important performance the Great Sage has given since his exile. The audience below... well, it's the first time I've seen so many people.

It's a pity that I timidly declined Little Lucky Grass King's offer to attend the celebration.

Everyone at the Grand Bazaar really likes Little Lucky Grass King, and I really want to hear her opinion on my Flower Goddess Dance... Ah! No, no, never mind, if she really comes, I'll definitely be incredibly nervous.

Nilu's warm-up ended with her thoughts ceasing, and she sighed helplessly, slowly shaking her head.

"If that's what you think..."

Qin Ye raised an eyebrow and went straight to the best spot to watch the dance—the airspace in front of the stands, which was basically directly in front of the dancers.

"You're using the power of natural justice for this kind of thing..."

Even Nasita couldn't help but complain.

"Helping you regain your confidence so that you can reconcile with more people in Sumeru is something that Heaven must do. Or you can watch from a distance, I don't mind."

"?"

Nasida looked at the arms that were tightly wrapped around her, pushed them away with her soft little hands, and found that Qin Ye had no intention of yielding at all, so she had no choice but to compromise.

Once Qin Ye has made a decision, it's really hard for him to waver.

She looked back at the other Sumeru people and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they had not noticed anything amiss.

"Ok?"

She seemed to have realized Qin Ye's intention in doing so.

It's like having her talk to Nilu directly after watching her performance; sometimes this method works surprisingly well without causing offense.

As Nilu stepped onto the stage, the lively atmosphere froze for a moment. When everyone's eyes were focused on her beautiful figure, their movements were almost in unison.

Nilu first gave a brief greeting, and then began to strike the starting pose for the dance.

As the melodious music began, her solo performance finally started.
