Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

Nasita shook her head: "I did not see the Doctor. Perhaps he knows that the Heart of the Grass God is still useful to Sumeru, and the Great Compassion Tree King will not give it up easily."

Ying: "Naxi Da, have you seen Chu Xi?"

"Chu Xi?"

Nasida stroked her chin thoughtfully: "I saw her when you and Paimon went to the desert to watch the battle, but I haven't seen her since. I've been traveling around Sumeru for a while now, but I haven't seen Chu Xi."

Both Ying and Paimon were somewhat disappointed.

"Naxi, you go ahead with your work. We'll go find Chu Xi now."

"Hey? Are you leaving already? Nilu and the others asked me to take you to the Grand Bazaar when I see you. They all want to thank you properly."

Ying paused for a moment, then continued running: "We'll find everyone else after we find Chu Xi, and then we'll come and call you!"

After Ying and Paimon left, Nasita fell into thought.

I've always felt empty inside, as if something is missing. I used to think it was because I hadn't properly thanked the travelers, but now it seems that's not the reason.

That's strange, what could it be?

……

After leaving Jingshan Palace, Ying and Paimeng searched for Chu Xi in Xumi City, but unfortunately, they found nothing after a whole day.

During their search for Chu Xi, they also met Dina Zedai.

Dina Zede looks much better now than when we first met. Her demonic disease has been completely cured, and she looks radiant.

Dina Zede invited Ying and Paimon to her home, but Ying declined, not because she didn't want to go, but because she had something very important to do.

Chu Xi's disappearance was too strange; she didn't even say goodbye to them, and Ying was very worried.

After resting in Sumeru City for a day, Nil came looking for them the next day.

Dixia is returning to the desert tomorrow, so they wanted to gather everyone together for a meal today.

This time, Ying did not refuse; she also wanted to take this opportunity to ask everyone about Chu Xi's whereabouts.

The dinner party was in the evening, and the guests included Elhesen, Nilu, Seno, Dinazede, Dixia, Naxida, and even Kavi.

Al-Hysen: "This is my roommate. He just came back from the desert. When we talked about having a get-together, he insisted on coming."

Kavi: "You bastard, you're the one who took the key! I've been waiting outside all day, I'm starving!"

Al-Hysen: "Why don't you just go to a nearby restaurant for a meal?"

Kavi: "Cough, we need Mora to eat..."

Ying glanced at Kavi. Was this Celia's guardian?

This wasn't the first time she had met Kavi, but the person she met back then was Kavi when he was a child.

Kavi was one of Cyria's closest relatives in Teyvat, and now even Kavi has been forgotten...

"This must be the traveler. Hello, you can just call me Kavi!"

Kavi greeted Ying politely.

Ying suddenly felt very sad. Celia had done so much and given so much, but no one remembered her.

Little Paimon was carefree; she didn't even remember that there was such a person as Celia. She was worried about Chu Xi, but that didn't stop her from eating heartily.

At the table, Kavi took a jug of wine, sat down in a corner, and began to drink by himself.

Elhesen walked over, frowning.

"Did you suffer a setback in the desert?"

Kavi looked up, his eyes filled with tears: "I... I don't know what's wrong, I'm suddenly very sad, like something has happened to the most important person in my life."

Kavi isn't a big drinker, but he's heard that drinking can relieve worries, and he feels a tightness in his chest right now.

Al-Hysen sat down next to him and poured himself a glass as well.

Ying asked around, but no one had seen Chu Xi. She decided to take Paimon to check outside Sumeru City tomorrow.

……

That day, Ying and Paimeng arrived outside Sumeru City. They had accepted a commission and were also looking for Chu Xi.

Upon arriving at a certain place, Ying saw a young forest ranger being attacked by a group of monsters.

After rescuing the forest ranger, Ying and Paimon learned from her that his name was Lana…

……

Xumi, desert.

After resting for a few days, the man in the black robe finally recovered a little.

As expected of the first generation of gods, we almost fell into their hands.

The backlash from his self-destruction was immense, and he has spent the last few days recuperating. His current strength is less than one percent of his peak.

The souls of Mondstadt and Liyue are in our hands, but the soul of Sumeru is nowhere to be found. Next, it's time to meet the Thunder Regent...

Chapter 232 The Test of Courage?

The world of players.

In the final chapter of the Kaiyang's Last Words series of quests, Chen Xiyao controlled Ying to return to Xumi, but still couldn't find Chu Xi there.

During the dinner, Chen Xiyao also met Kavi, whom she had only heard of but never seen.

The players noticed the strangeness and sadness in Kavi and Elhesen's eyes. The two of them didn't know why they were sad, but the players knew very well.

Is this Kavi? He hasn't changed much since he was a child.

[He seemed like the kind of nice older brother next door, it's a pity we'll never see his interactions with Celia again.]

[Sigh, the more I watch this scene, the more upset I feel. Aya's contributions go unnoticed.]

Aside from all that, I want to know where Chu Xi went?

[I'm not sure, but it's been mentioned many times in the plot, so I feel it might be a very important foreshadowing.]

[Chu Xi and Cyria had such a good relationship, she'll probably be very sad now that Cyria is gone... Chu Xi was already so pitiful...]

[Seria warned Ying beforehand to stop Chu Xi from investigating the matter of the Grass Elemental Eye. Uh… has Chu Xi already gone to investigate?]

[Speaking of which, will Chu Xi still remember Cyria? That Eye of God belonged to Cyria. Since Cyria was deleted, shouldn't the Eye of God be deleted as well?]

[I thought so too, but since Aya said to ask the Traveler to help stop Chu Xi's investigation, it means that the Eye of God shouldn't have disappeared with Cyria's departure.]

【…】

The mission was only truly over after the final feast at the Grand Bazaar of Sumeru City.

However, even after the word "End" appeared, the game screen did not completely end.

After a brief blackout, a new image appeared on the screen.

The scene is set in a desert, where a young girl is wearing a large white robe and a white hood that covers the upper half of her face.

The hood the girl was wearing was quite similar to Zhongli's divine attire. Although she was wearing a hood, many details revealed that this person was Chu Xi, whom the Traveler and Paimon had been searching for for a long time.

Chu Xi held the hood with one hand and the Eye of the Grass Element God with the other.

Her face was covered in fine sweat as she left a long trail of footprints in the desert, one step at a time.

……

[It's actually Chu Xi?!]

[Ciria's Eye of God has indeed not disappeared; it seems Chu Xi has already begun investigating.]

[This... I don't quite understand. Why would Chu Xi leave the Traveler and come here alone to investigate? Shouldn't she have told the Traveler first? She didn't even know about Cilia's request...]

……

The comments section was buzzing with discussion.

The camera zooms out, and on a hill not far from Chu Xi's side, the second seat of the Fools' Executive Officers, the Doctor, stands with his hands behind his back.

"Well, how should I put it, I've found an interesting experimental sample..."

The doctor's deep voice rang out, then the screen went dark, and the mission was completely over.

In Chen Xiyao's live stream, the chat was flooded with comments.

[Holy crap, it's that damned Doctor again! He doesn't dare go to the Tree King, so he's causing trouble for Chu Xi!]

[Damn it, getting targeted by this guy is never a good thing!]

[Traveler, traveler, come to the desert! Chu Xi is here!]

[Hiss, no, I know where Chu Xi is. I was just exploring here. She's not heading towards the desert, she's heading towards the rainforest!]

[Could it be that Chu Xi has already explored the desert? So quickly?]

【…】

There were many speculations in the comments section, with everyone agreeing that this was a very important plot point.

However, in any case, we'll just have to wait a while longer to find out the result.

The main storyline for this version has been completed.

……

Inatsuma, Narukami Island, Narukami Taisha Shrine.

On the steps leading to the top of Narukami Shrine, Yunling was lying barefoot on the steps, blocking the way completely. Her little face was puffed up with anger.

Yunling glanced behind her furtively, and after seeing a section of white shrine maiden's robe, she quickly turned her head back.

"Humph!"

The divine child walked over and sat down next to Yun Ling, but Yun Ling turned her head to the other side; she didn't want to see the divine child right now.

That despicable woman! She promised to bring her along, but she went off on her own without even telling her.

Do you know how long she waited for this opportunity?

"Little one, are you angry?"

The divine child poked Yun Ling with her finger, and seeing that the other party ignored her, she said helplessly:

"I'm not taking you because something happened in Sumeru. Your identity is very sensitive. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to your family or anyone else."

“Something big happened in Sumeru recently. It was a battle at the level of a demon god. I’m scared too. It’s safer to stay on Narukami Island right now.”

Yun Ling still didn't turn around, but the expression on her face had changed. Her eyes darted around as she began to ponder what the Divine Child had said.

"Alright, alright, you're just bored, right? The company will be holding an event in a while, then you won't be bored anymore."

The divine child patted Yun Ling's head and smiled.

"Event? What event?"

"I think it's called something like a test of courage competition. You can send invitations to travelers through the Adventurers' Guild. Everyone can get together and have a great time. Isn't that more fun than running around with me?"

Yun Ling thought about it and agreed. However, she couldn't just let it go like this, since the Divine Child had broken his promise and hadn't informed her. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, and the feeling of having her expectations dashed was the most painful.

The goddess covered her mouth and chuckled. She had many ways to coax the angry and proud Yun Ling.

She just got back today and has been missing Yunling's cooking for a long time. She won't get to eat it unless she appeases the little one.

"Cough cough..."

The goddess coughed, and when she saw Yun Ling looking over, she took out a skewer from behind her back.

Yun Ling curled her lip. Did they really think she was a child?

I can make skewers myself, and besides, the skewers that Shenzi has are bought from me.

The goddess gently stroked the skewer with her delicate hand, and as if by magic, the skewer in her hand transformed into an enormous one after she removed her hand. It was adorned with beautiful red berries at the bottom and lifelike fruits shaped like fox heads on top, all coated with a sweet sugar coating.

Yun Ling's eyes immediately lit up, widening as she reached out to grab it, but the enormous skewer was taken by the Divine Child and placed behind him.

"If you say you forgive your sister, I'll give it to you."

Before Yun Ling could even tilt her head, the Divine Child grabbed her chin and twisted it back: "Look~"

The enormous skewers finally ended up in Yun Ling's hands. She stood up and walked down the mountain to Narukami Shrine.
