Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Flames erupted from Walnut's fingertips, and the photograph quickly turned to ashes.

"Master, drink this and I'll believe you."

Jiang Bai picked up the mushroom soup and leaned over, his smile sinister.

Hu Tao instantly became alert.

No doubt, this guy wants to take the same ugly photos of her!

Flames ignited inside both the pot and the bowl, and the mushroom soup evaporated rapidly.

"Oh dear, it's all gone."

"Master, I have more. You can choose one yourself."

Jiang Bai threw down the bowl and pulled out a handful of brightly colored mushrooms, each one exceptionally vibrant.

Hu Tao quickly took out the photos and burned them all.

"Look, it's all gone."

"Let me check it."

"Let them check, I'm not afraid of you."

Hu Tao took off the ring and threw it into his hand.

Wait a minute, she'll dig out that photo that's buried in the ground.

Jiang Bai examined it carefully.

This stuff that's supposed to kill him absolutely must not be allowed to get out!

Once he was sure there was nothing left, he relaxed completely and slumped weakly into his chair.

I'm so tired, I almost ruined my image.

If Zhongli knew what he was thinking, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist saying:

Are you sure you still have a presentable image?

"Achoo—" Jiang Bai sneezed loudly.

After relaxing, he immediately felt a chill. He rubbed his arms and felt strangely cold.

Hu Tao tossed him the clothes that had already dried.

"You're filthy. Go take a hot shower. The water's already boiled. Don't catch a cold."

"Waaah, you're so kind, Master!" Jiang Bai was deeply moved.

Hu Tao rolled her eyes.

Tch, I was just about to force-feed her poisonous mushrooms, and she changed her mind so quickly.

"Go wash up now!"

Hu Tao pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door.

After hearing the sound of water, she called out to Youyou, who burrowed into the ground he had trampled into, and took out a photo that Jiang Bai had ravaged beyond recognition.

Looking at the still clearly visible image, Hu Tao snorted and tucked it into a book.

Want to erase your dark history? No way!

Chapter 761 Vimalakirti Manor

When Jiang Bai finished showering and came out, Hu Tao had already crawled into the tent to sleep.

Jiang Bai rubbed his stomach; he was so hungry.

He took out a meat patty, heated it up, and just used it to get by.

He knocked on Walnut's tent. "Master, may I sleep with you?"

"Don't think about it!"

"Oh……"

Jiang Bai felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.

A few days later, the two, who were traveling and sightseeing, finally arrived near the cottage in Lanraca.

Looking at this adorable miniature house, Walnut poked her head in through the doorway.

The hut was covered with leaves, and a few pieces of fruit were placed on a wooden stake.

I didn't see the cute little elf that Jiang Bai mentioned at all.

"Lanlaka, are you there?"

Jiang Bai also poked his head in, but seeing that there was nothing in the room, he poked it out again.

Upon hearing his voice, Gudu popped out of the stream by the door, turned around happily, and hugged Zhang Bai's head with a smack.

"Goo~"

"Wow, you look so energetic!"

Jiang Bai rubbed its jelly-like little head, feeling that in addition to the water element, it also carried a life force.

Lanraka quietly peeked out from behind the house.

He glanced at Jiang Bai, then at Hu Tao, and then quietly walked to Jiang Bai's feet.

"Hey, Lanrakka, it's been so long!"

"The white Nala has arrived! I'm so happy!"

The two leaves on Lanlaka's head twirled and flew up, landing on Jiang Bai's shoulder.

The round body sat on the future's shoulder, like a giant cabbage wearing a mushroom hat.

Where is it? Where is it?

Hearing Jiang Bai speak, Hu Tao opened her eyes and looked around hard, but she still couldn't see the legendary forest sprite.

"Hey? Can't you see it, Master? It's right on my shoulder."

"It's not on my shoulder."

Hu Tao reached out and touched Bai's shoulder. When Lanlaka saw the outstretched hand, she was a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she's my friend, she won't hurt you."

Although I couldn't see it, I could definitely touch the walnut.

A tiny creature, a little smaller than Paimon. It feels like touching leaves or fruit, cool and refreshing.

Walnut didn't dare touch it any further, afraid that she might hurt the little guy.

"Hey, why can't I see it?"

“The pure Nara can see it, but the grown-up Nara cannot see Lanalo. The white Nara is special.”

"Is that so..."

Jiang Bai figured that Hu Tao probably couldn't hear Lanlaka either, so he translated for her.

"Lanaka said that only pure little children can see them, and they can't see them when they grow up."

"Ah...that's a real pity..." Hu Tao said dejectedly.

I thought I would be able to see these little forest sprites, but I couldn't see them at all.

"Nara seems unhappy?" Lanlaka tilted her head.

"Yeah, I thought I could play with you guys, but I can't even see you."

Lanlaka thought for a moment, took out an apple, and flew it in front of Hu Tao.

"Eating fruit makes me happy."

Hu Tao could only see the floating apples; she looked at Jiang Bai.

"Lanaka said, 'Eating fruit makes me happy.'"

Hu Tao's mood had indeed improved considerably. "Thank you then."

Jiang Bai patted Gu Dong's head, "We came here to take Gu Dong away. Remember to say goodbye, Gu Dong."

Gudu flapped its little wings, making a gurgling sound. It was unclear how they communicated, but soon Gudu waved its wings to say goodbye to Lanlaka.

Gatherings are always fleeting; separation is the norm.

After delivering a basket of fruit to Lanlaka, Jiang Bai waved goodbye to him.

"Next stop, Vimalakirti Village!"

Vimo Village is a typical waterside town with the characteristics of Mount Sumeru.

The houses here, like those in Huachengguo, are made of wood and rattan, blending harmoniously and naturally with the surrounding environment.

However, compared to the scattered cabins in the woods of Huachengguo, the houses here are mostly clustered together, at varying heights, forming a small town.

Children played and frolicked on the wooden walkway, a suspension bridge connected the two sides of the river, and small boats slowly sailed on the river, transporting daily necessities.

Compared to Sumeru City, it lacks the bustling grandeur, but possesses a greater tranquility and peace.

Living here seems to subconsciously slow you down and allow you to enjoy life.

"Wow, this is a completely different style!"

This style of living in complete harmony with the forest is completely different from the three countries I had visited before.

For Hu Tao, it was a novel and unprecedented experience.

"Let's stay here for a few days."

"Uh-huh!"

When you travel, you should stay and slowly experience the local customs and culture. There's really no need to rush through the sights.

"Hello, guests from out of town. I am Lana, the forest ranger here."

"Hello."

"You've just arrived, haven't you? Are you planning to stay in Vimo Manor? Would you like me to recommend a hotel for you?"

Since Sumeru has no native national armed forces, outside of major cities like Sumeru City and Omos Port, the forest rangers are the ones who maintain order.

Their work is very complicated. They not only need to protect the safety of local people from wild animals, but also protect the rainforest ecosystem by conducting regular patrols every day.

Vimo Village is just a very small town, so there aren't many forest rangers. In addition to relying on forest rangers, the local young men are also the main force in maintaining order.

"Thank you so much. We were just planning to stay here for a couple of days."

On Lana's recommendation, the two checked into a hotel.

"Feel free to ask me for help if you need anything. Have fun!"

After introducing the inn to the two of them and explaining the local customs and culture of Vimo Village, Nora left.

Jiang Bai walked into the hotel room. This hotel was different from all the hotels he had stayed in before.

Their rooms are individual wooden cabins, each cabin being separate.

The wooden cabin is fully equipped with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and toilet, making it no less luxurious than the hotels in Sumeru City.

Sitting in the rocking chair by the window, looking at the lush green scenery outside, the clear water flowing gently, and a light breeze bringing a refreshing coolness, it's simply peaceful.

"That feels so good!"

"Master, look, Lanraka!"

Jiang Bai proudly placed the newly finished Lanlaka stone carving in front of Hu Tao.

He had already painted the stone sculpture, perfectly replicating the appearance of Lanraca.

"So that's what it looks like!" Hu Tao looked at the stone carving with curiosity.

I always felt that Lanraka felt like a plant, and now it seems that this little sprite is indeed a plant.

"So cute!"

Although it's impossible to see them with the naked eye, seeing the stone carvings is still nice.
