This MC is so original

"No need." Lu Xiu pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "I'll go say goodbye to her in person this time. So, remember to take care of yourself, Lao Feng."

After Lu Xiu said goodbye to Lao Feng, he put Lottia into the Poké Ball, then took Yandora and left the mansion and came to the Hall of All Peoples.

When I walked to Wanmin Hall, I saw Xiangling helping out in the store.

Seeing a guest coming, Xiangling immediately greeted him with a smile.

"What would you like, sir?"

"Make me some golden shrimp balls and take them away."

"okay!"

------------------

Yuehaiting, in Keqing's office.

Keqing had just finished dealing with a stack of documents that was thirty centimeters high, and she leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh.

"Finally solved!"

Before Keqing could loudly vent her tiredness, Ganyu came over with a smile on her face, holding a pile of documents that were fifty centimeters high and covered her head.

"Lady Keqing, there is still a lot of official business to be done, so you can't rest yet."

"My goodness!"

Seeing the pile of documents in Ganyu's arms, Keqing lay on the table and whimpered in pain.

Ganyu put down the documents in her arms, looked at Keqing's face with a tearful expression, and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Alright, Master Keqing, I'll make you some tea. You can take a rest first."

Keqing lay on the table and hummed weakly.

Ganyu chuckled and left.

Not long after, Keqing, who was resting on the table, heard a dull sound of footsteps, which was different from the crisp sound of Ganyu's high heels. This made her look up in confusion.

As a result, she saw Lu Xiu with a smile on his face and a lunch box in his hand appear in front of her.

"Lu Xiu? Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Keqing hurriedly sat up straight and straightened her clothes.

Seeing Keqing's behavior, Lu Xiu couldn't help but complain, "We're just friends, why are we so reserved?"

Keqing rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Why do you care about me? Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"I'm ready to leave, this time to Xumi."

Keqing was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she suppressed the disappointment in her heart and pretended to be calm and said, "How long will it take this time?"

"Not long. I'm just going to help someone catch someone. I'll be back soon."

Hearing this, Keqing felt happier. She smiled and told Lu Xiu, "Be careful on the road. There's a rainforest over there in Xumi, so there are a lot of mosquitoes. Remember to take precautions."

"Got it. You should also take some rest. Don't work overtime with Ganyu all day. She is an immortal, and you are different from ordinary people. Oh, by the way, I bought you some food, remember to eat it."

Lu Xiu put down the lunch box in his hand and left.

After Lu Xiu left, Keqing opened the lunch box with great anticipation, and found her favorite food.

Golden shrimp balls.

Chapter 235: Familiar development?

"Lordia, do you really know the way to Xumi? Didn't your god say he died there? And you don't even know the way?"

At the border of Xumi, Lu Xiu looked helplessly at the two pure water elves, one big and one small, who were trying desperately to identify the road in front of him.

Lu Xiu was flying over from Liyue just fine, but when he arrived at the border of Xumi, he was dumbfounded. There were rainforests everywhere that blocked out the sun, so when he looked down from the sky, he could only see endless trees.

Lu Xiu was thinking that since he was already in Xumi, he would try to find the Seven-Day God Statue of Xumi to see what other tasks the system could issue.

But these endless rainforests completely blocked his vision, making it impossible for him to find the location of the Seven Heavens Statue.

After landing on the ground, I couldn't even figure out the route. I walked around in the rainforest for several times but ended up going around in circles.

Yandora tried to explore with her insignificant spiritual sense, but found nothing. She could only look at Lottia beside her with hope.

After closing her eyes and examining it for a while, Lotia opened her eyes awkwardly and looked at Lu Xiu, hesitating and not knowing how to start.

Seeing her expression, Lu Xiu knew that she had definitely not found her way either. "So, the most powerful being in the history of the Pure Water Elves is now lost?"

Lottie's face flushed red, filled with shame, but she still stubbornly said, "It's not like I haven't found anything. At least there's a foul aura spreading 730 meters southwest of us, and I've even detected the presence of several humans!"

"Oh?"

Lu Xiu suddenly perked up. Getting lost is not scary. What is scary is not being able to find a way out after getting lost.

Now, as long as we can find the humans that Lottia mentioned, we will have no problem getting out of this rainforest.

As for the foul smell that Lotia said, Lu Xiu didn't take it seriously at all!

"Quick, lead the way!"

Lottie flew in the front, leading Lu Xiu and Yandora to fly quickly in that direction.

--------------

Deep in Daocheng Forest, a blood-red area, completely different from the surrounding emerald green environment, is gradually swallowing up the surrounding environment. Outside this strange area, Tinari is retreating with Cole in an anxious look on his face.

"How are you feeling, Cole?"

Kelai's face was pale, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded: "I can still... hold on."

"Then you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

Tinari glanced at the mushroom beasts that were chasing him relentlessly and urged Cole to leave. He stopped and took out the longbow on his back, staring at the mushroom beasts rushing towards him with a vigilant look on his face.

When the contaminated mushroom beasts saw someone stopped, they directly surrounded Tinari, and then sent out several mushroom beasts to chase Cole.

"Sorry, you won't be allowed to pass here."

Tinari just casually pulled the bowstring, and as soon as his fingers loosened, several emerald green arrows drew a strange arc in the air as if they were automatically tracking each other and shot towards the direction behind Tinari.

It accurately hit the mushroom beasts that were chasing Cole.

As if they saw their companions being attacked, the mushroom beasts surrounding Tinari suddenly became furious and rushed forward with roars.

While Tinari was busy dealing with the mushroom beasts that rushed over, Cole was also blocked by the other mushroom beasts.

The already weak Cole was now affected by the foul smell emitted by those mushroom beasts. His body became even weaker, and it seemed dangerous for him to deal with these mushroom beasts.

Led by Lotia, Lu Xiu and his companions came to a high place and looked down at Tinari and Cole who were fighting with the mushroom beasts below. Lu Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this the development again?"

Lottie and Yandora looked over with confusion, and Lu Xiu explained.

"Just like in the stories, every time an adventurer goes to a new area, he or she will always encounter people in distress. After helping them, they will receive their full support."

Yandora blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Isn't this great? We help each other."

Lu Xiu nodded. "It's good, but I feel a bit tired of it. It's a bit boring to see it develop like this all the time."

Lottie also said, "Boss, are you saying you don't plan to save these two people?"

Lu Xiu stroked his chin and looked around the surrounding rainforest, saying casually, "Respect nature's choice. After all, humans are also part of nature!"

Lottie and Yandora were confused. Was he going to help? Or not?

Before the two of them could figure out what was going on, Lu Xiu jumped down from a high place and walked straight towards Tinari and Kelai.

Lottie and Yandora hurriedly followed.

Cole, who was busy fighting with the mushroom beast, suddenly heard a man's voice.

"Hello, I want to ask for directions. How do I get to the capital of Xumi?"

"what?"

Ke Lai looked in the direction of the sound with a confused look on her face, and saw Lu Xiu standing not far behind the mushroom beast and looking at her.

Just as he was distracted, Cole was attacked from behind by a mushroom beast and knocked to the ground.

"Cole!"

Seeing that Cole was in danger, Tinari immediately broke free from the mushroom beasts surrounding him, knocked away the mushroom beasts that intended to continue attacking Cole, and then stayed by Cole's side.

Compared to Kelai, Tinari seemed much more relaxed. While guarding Kelai and dealing with the mushroom beasts, he even had time to look at Lu Xiu and ask, "Who are you?"

When Lu Xiu heard this, he immediately perked up and said in a clear voice, "A passerby! Remember this!"

Tinari stumbled suddenly and was almost attacked by the mushroom beast because of Lu Xiu's words.

Perhaps because Lu Xiu's voice was too loud, the mushroom beasts on the side could not bear to watch it anymore, and some of them turned around and pounced directly at Lu Xiu.

"Hahahaha, you already have an enemy you can't handle, and you still want to attack me? What kind of drops do you have? How dare you be so arrogant?"

He originally wanted to give these cute mushroom beasts a knife on the head, but unexpectedly, Tinari took the initiative to knock away the mushroom beasts that intended to attack Lu Xiu, and then put Cole at Lu Xiu's feet.

"Keep an eye on her for me."

As he spoke, he continued to fight all the mushroom beasts alone, protecting Lu Xiu and the others behind him.

At this time, Lottia and Yandora flew over slowly.

Seeing this scene, Lottia couldn't help but complain: "Boss, isn't this still the same development as you said?"

Lu Xiu shook his head.

"No, no, no, it's quite the opposite. I've become the one being protected."

Chapter 236 The World Forgot Me

"Huh, now I can finally have some peace and quiet."

Tinari wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced around, and confirmed that the chasing mushroom beasts were all knocked unconscious. Then he turned to look in the direction of Lu Xiu and the others. Just as he was about to speak, Tinari's attention was attracted by the two pure water elves, one big and one small, flying beside Lu Xiu.

But before he could ask Lu Xiu whether these two were pure water elves, he saw Lu Xiu hugging the unconscious Cole's shoulders, which scared Tinari!

"Let her go!"

Tinari's ferocious expression made Lucius somewhat unhappy and he let go of his hand, letting Cole fall to the ground.

"I said, you asked me to protect her before, and now I'm helping you protect her, why are you using this tone again now?"

Without time to explain, Tinari rushed forward, lifted the clothing on Lu Xiu's arm, and carefully examined his arm. He asked in confusion, "Aren't you infected?"

"Infectious? Does this girl have any infectious disease?"

Lu Xiu looked down in surprise at Ke Lai, who had fallen to the ground and was ignored by everyone. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked so young, was actually seriously ill.

"Devil Scale Disease. If you were a Xumi person, you would know about this disease. Although the infectiousness of Demon Scale Disease is very low, it is not impossible. Fortunately, you were not infected."

"Demon Scale Disease? It sounds like a skin disease."

Lu Xiu curiously glanced at the exposed skin of Cole, but didn't see any clues on it.

Tinari pursed her lips and reminded: "This concerns her privacy, it's better for you not to know."

"That's fine. I'm not that curious about this disease anyway."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Tinari, the ranger of Daocheng Forest. Are you and these two pure water elves together? I didn't expect to see pure water elves in Xumi."

Tinari only glanced at Lottia and Yandora briefly before looking away. Staring at others was considered rude.

"I'm Lu Xiu, and they're Lottia and Yandora. We're here in Xumi for some business. By the way, how do I get to the nearest Seven Days Statue?"

"Seven Heavens Statue? What are you doing there? Paying homage? But you don't look like locals from Xumi."

Tinari looked at Lu Xiu and the other two with suspicion, then explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. As a forest ranger, I have the responsibility to protect Daocheng Forest from any threats. These words are not directed at you."

"I understand, but could you tell us where the Seven Days Statue is? We're just tourists planning to go for a stroll. If you're worried, you can come with us."

"The nearest Seven Days God Statue is next to Huachengguo. Since we are also going back to Huachengguo, I will take you with us."

After Tinari finished talking to Lu Xiu, he came to Cole's side, took out a gourd from his waist, opened the lid, carefully brought the gourd to Cole's mouth, and poured the medicine inside into her mouth.
