He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Because the Great Compassion Tree King has disappeared, the current Grass God is the Little Auspicious Grass King.

However, in Sumeru, only a small number of people believe in the Little Auspicious Grass King; most are waiting for the return of the Great Compassion Tree King.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the people of Sumeru have not seen the Little Auspicious Grass King active in Sumeru for hundreds of years.

Rumors say that the Little Auspicious Grass King is currently imprisoned by the "Sage," the actual controller of Sumeru, but no one can confirm whether it's true or not.

Because there weren't many people stationed in Sumeru, and the Church Council did a good job of keeping things secret, Ningguang didn't get much useful information.

After listening, Wu Di was somewhat surprised, not expecting that even a god would be subject to the limitations of "humanity".

Although he didn't know much, it was all Ningguang could tell him, and Wu Di expressed his gratitude.

"..."

If Ningguang's method of going to the World Tree through the Grass God is as described, then it will be difficult to achieve.

However, the rumor about the Little Lucky Grass King being imprisoned made Wu Di very concerned. If it was true, he would not mind helping to rescue the newly born god.

However, it's essential to know the specific facts first; otherwise, you might end up hitting the wrong person and feel somewhat embarrassed.

Then there was news from Ying and Paimon. Wu Di learned that they had already gone to Inazuma, and that they had gone there through Captain Hokuto.

So they passed each other by, but Wu Di wasn't worried now, because he believed they would meet again soon.

Incidentally, Ningguang told us that the Lantern Festival was three days later, and she strongly suggested that Wu Di and his group stay and enjoy it before setting off.

Wu Di did not refuse, after all, it's best not to miss the annual festival.

—Three days later—Lantern Festival—The Round of Heavenly Principles

During these three days, Tianli played games with everyone in the Dust Song Pot, or went to Liyue Street to eat, drink and have fun.

But the most exciting thing was that I won the reward of being able to spend time alone with Wu Di during the Lantern Festival.

This was a small competition they held privately, and Tenri overcame all obstacles to win.

However, she always felt that Barbara and Columbia were holding back when she fought against them, but she didn't know if it was just her imagination.

But it doesn't matter; the fact that I am the winner now is undeniable.

Incidentally, during these three days, when Tenri went shopping with them, she specifically picked out a new outfit.

A white dress with pretty lace embroidered on the hem and sleeves, and beautiful patterns on the body, paired with a black bow at the neck.

衣服参考

With a straw hat adorned with a beautiful light blue bow, Tenri looked like a lively, adorable, and innocent girl next door.

Everyone gave it high praise, especially Wu Di, who said, "Tian Tian is so beautiful now, it's indescribable."

All I can say is that Tianli was overjoyed to receive Wu Di's praise, and she couldn't wait to go out with him to enjoy the Lantern Festival.

……

Therefore, on the day of the Lantern Festival, everyone agreed to go together in twos and threes, leaving only Wu Di and Tian Li behind.

Watching the departing crowd, Tenri understood that it was time for them to be alone.

The girl eagerly put her arm around the boy's shoulder, and they walked forward together, enjoying the joy of the festival.

Unlike the Inazuma Festival, the Liyue Lantern Festival at this time is bustling with people and decorated with lanterns, and the festive atmosphere is palpable.

Tianli now wanted to show his quiet side to Wu Di and let him take him for a stroll through the streets of Liyue.

Clearly, the boy understood what she was thinking and took the initiative to guide her, letting her experience the joy of the Lantern Festival.

Watching operas, listening to storytelling, eating delicious food at Wanmintang, and so on.

The two had a great time on the trip.

Tianli and Wudi are now holding hands, wandering aimlessly down the street.

Because of their good looks, the two always attract the attention of passersby, but they just watch from a distance.

No one dared to approach them, because they could see the Thousand Rock Army patrolling from time to time. Anyone who dared to cause trouble in the city would be sent inside and made to sit for 10 days first.

However, Tianli's gaze was drawn to the jade ring on his bracelet, which Wu Di had bought for him. This was the first gift Wu Di had given him.

The girl was very happy, especially when she thought that she seemed to be the first among everyone to receive a gift from Wu Di, which made her even happier.

However, despite thinking that way, Tenri felt she should display the demeanor of an empress.

At this moment, in Wu Di's divine eyes, there are the gifts that he and Wu Di have chosen together, and then, in his and Wu Di's names, he will give the gifts to everyone.

Tianli feels incredibly magnanimous right now. Even after receiving gifts, she didn't forget her sisters. That's true class! (Proudly) (Leaning back tactically)

As for her return gift, all I can say is that the girl took advantage of his unpreparedness and "ambushed" the boy's face, leaving her mark on his face once again.

As time passed, dusk arrived, and Tianli felt somewhat unsatisfied.

She felt that being alone with Wu Di made her truly happy.

At that moment, the two passed by a roadside stall, and Tenri was attracted by the night light on the stall.

According to the elderly woman who runs the shop, the lantern is scheduled to be lit tonight.

The lanterns in the night sky, like twinkling stars, carry people's thoughts and aspirations for a better future as they drift into the distance.

Upon hearing this, the two became interested and asked the old woman how to make the lanterns. Wu Di said that if he was worried that they would disturb his business, he would just buy everything on the stall.

The old woman refused, saying that she was just bored and wanted to set up a stall to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

However, if Wu Di and Tian Xiang wanted to learn how to make night lanterns, she would naturally not refuse, and would even say she would be happy to.

Seeing that the old woman agreed, the two smiled at each other and went to buy some materials to make lanterns, as requested by the old woman.

Then, under the old woman's guidance, the two of them clumsily began to make it.

Despite having professional guidance, it was still their first time. A strange, unrecognizable thing, which they didn't even know could be called a lantern, appeared before them.

It's really strange, let me take another look.

"Pfft, haha."

Looking at the strangely shaped lantern in front of him, Tianli couldn't help but laugh. The infectiousness of his laughter made Wu Di and the old woman next to him laugh along with him.

The cheerful atmosphere attracted the attention of passersby for a moment, but they only stopped to watch for a while before leaving.

With the experience gained the first time, Wu Di and Tian Li made the next one very smoothly. Then, with their joint efforts, a lantern that looked about 80% like the original appeared in front of the three of them.

The remaining two points were because the two added their own ideas; they wanted to make this night lantern unique.

After saying goodbye to the old woman, Tianli took the lanterns he had made and went to the shore with Wu Di. They saw that there were many other people waiting to release their lanterns there.

Incidentally, the first lantern he made was not discarded, but was kept by Tenri.

Because this was the first thing we made together, it was a keepsake.

A while later, it got completely dark.

The girl glanced at the people around her and noticed that they were already preparing to release the lanterns for the night. She then pulled Wu Di to an open space.

They then lit the candle inside the lantern, and the two of them stood up together, holding the lantern. While waiting for the lantern to have enough "power," the girl silently made a wish.

(I hope to always be by his side, never to be separated.)

"It feels good enough, let's see if it can float."

Just then, the boy's voice rang in her ears. The girl subconsciously looked over and saw the smile on his face. She was stunned for a moment, but returned the smile and nodded.

The two let go together, and the lantern slowly drifted into the sky, farther and farther away, higher and higher.

This drew the attention of both of them, and at that moment, the girl subconsciously looked at the boy beside her.

Suddenly, I found myself standing beside him again. How long had I been waiting? Thousands of years? Or tens of thousands of years?

The girl couldn't quite remember.

But now the girl feels so happy inside, as if she has returned to her former life, carefree and following him around.

what about now?

(The same applies now; I will protect everything that I've finally regained after so much hardship.)

The girl silently made a vow, because she was no longer the powerless person she used to be; she now had enough power to protect everyone.

Protect him.

At that moment, the girl's gaze was suddenly drawn to a couple embracing and kissing in the distance.

Then her attention returned to the boy's lips, and she silently swallowed, feeling a stirring within her.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

At that moment, the boy noticed the girl's gaze, turned around, and asked curiously.

The girl did not respond to the boy's curiosity; she felt her heart was filled with motivation.

The girl silently took off her hat, then reached out and hugged the boy's neck, leaning her whole body against him.

The distance between the two instantly became zero.

Both sides could now feel each other's breathing gradually becoming heavier.

The girl's face was already flushed, and her eyes were sparkling, making her especially beautiful. However, her determined gaze made the boy understand what he should do at this moment.

As the boy drew closer, the girl silently closed her eyes, accompanied by the sensation of his lips touching her.

This brought the girl's sense of happiness to its peak.

Although the girl sometimes wondered what kissing felt like, whether she would experience different sensations, or what kind of taste she would get.

She felt dizzy and her mind was blank.

The girl wished time could freeze at this moment, frozen at her happiest moment...

Chapter 179 The Emerald Green Figure

The Lantern Festival certainly doesn't last just one day, so Wu Di and his group had a great time.

During this period, all the girls enjoyed the opportunity to spend a day alone with Wu Di, which meant everyone won big.

However, happy times will eventually come to an end, but don't worry, because new happiness is on its way.

After the Lantern Festival ended, Wu Di and his group prepared to leave Liyue and head to Sumeru.
