Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 272 Banquet Invitation

After temporarily understanding Xumi's current development plan, Ying stopped asking questions. After all, Hines and Egolia were not Xumi's decision-makers, and it was already a great gain to learn so much inside knowledge from them.

"By the way, Nilu is holding a banquet to celebrate the freedom of the little auspicious grass king and Xumi's new life. Do you want to join us?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ying did not get any response from the two people. They looked at Ying with a little doubt.

"Nilu?"

Ying slapped himself on the forehead. He almost forgot that Xines and Egolia missed meeting Nilu before going to the desert, and later when they rescued the Grass God, they also missed Nilu perfectly.

Judging from this, their only impression of Nilu is probably her name and the fact that she was a good dancer during the meeting in Aru Village...

Hines drank the hot tea in his cup calmly. He actually had no interest in banquets, even if Seno and the others would attend.

Egolia looked at Ying's performance and comforted her with a smile.

"Miss Nello? I remember she seemed to be your friend. If she's hosting a party, I'd be interested in participating."

After receiving Egolia's affirmation, Ying looked at Hines again.

"I remember you seemed to say that you didn't like..."

"Egolia and I will be there on time."

"..."

Ying followed Hines' usual expression and shrugged helplessly, complaining quietly in her heart.

Oh, so this is what you mean by not liking to attend parties?

"The banquet will be held at 6pm the day after tomorrow. I think many old friends will be there."

Paimon heard the keyword 'banquet' and finally pulled his head out from under the cover of the cakes.

“There will definitely be lots of delicious food!”

Ying rolled her eyes, grabbed the cake with one hand and stuffed it directly into Paimeng's mouth.

"Are you the only one going there just to eat?"

Paimon pounded his chest hard, took another big sip of hot tea, and finally swallowed the pastry, avoiding becoming a white flying object that choked to death.

Ignoring Paimon's antics, Ying continued to ask about the next plan of the two of them,

"The pollution of the World Tree has been resolved. How long do you plan to stay in Xumi?"

Hines sighed softly and put down the tea in his hand with a hint of helplessness.

“Who told you the pollution has been solved?”

"?"

Ying had a face full of question marks and wanted to say something, but she found that this matter seemed to be just her inference and no one had ever told her about the pollution solution.

Hines did not keep the secret and continued to explain.

"During the six days you were unconscious, I continuously extracted the World Tree's contamination and transferred it into the body of the Skirmisher. Everything went smoothly. The Skirmisher was successfully transformed by Azar and his team... and can almost perfectly accommodate the contamination of the forbidden knowledge..."

Ying remained silent, waiting for the second half of Xines's sentence. If nothing unexpected happened, the "but" would come.

"...But I overestimated myself, and forbidden knowledge also tainted me."

Hines stretched out his arm, revealing the gray scales that were hidden under it, but he seemed unconcerned, his tone as casual as ever.

"So, I've been trying to deal with the deep-seated pollution in me recently. Once I've dealt with this, we should be able to leave Xumi."

Hearing this, even Paimeng, who was eating hard, looked up again.

"Hines, are you okay?"

With a forced smile, Hines picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Paimon's mouth again.

"Eat more, you!"

This little thing started cursing him as soon as he opened his mouth!

Egolia smiled without saying anything, but just filled Paimon's tea cup. Now there was no need to worry about Paimon choking to death.

After the greetings, Ying also planned to visit the host of the banquet, Nilu.

He then invited Hinesh and the other man to join him.

"I'm planning on going to see Nero. Do you want to come with me?"

Hines waved his hands. Now he just wanted to lie down and have a good rest.

However, Egolia spoke first.

"Okay, let's go together..."

With the corner of her eye, Egolia caught a glimpse of Hines's movements and turned to look at him with a smile.

"Don't you want to go?"

"..."

Hines withdrew his hand in mid-air a little awkwardly, scratched his nose and said,

"How can it be!"

"So you're waving your hand...?"

"It means, no need to say more, you must go!"

......

"It's so funny, what does marriage bring to men?"

"I brought you a wife who loves you and a warm home~"

"Don't be so rude, just because you're unhappy doesn't mean others aren't happy."

"I feel like Xines and Eugolia get along really well, and they shouldn't be married, right?"

"Waving your hand doesn't mean you're denying something, it means you don't need to say anything more."

......

However, after walking out of the room, Ying always felt as if she had forgotten something. Puzzled, she planned to recreate the scene just now to help herself recall what she had forgotten.

So, Paimon, who was touching his belly with a satisfied look on his face, was grabbed by Ying.

Paimon:? ? ?

Ying felt the weight coming from her right hand, then looked at her empty left hand.

"Paimon, do you remember what I was holding in my left hand before I came to the Ordination Court?"

Xine and Egolia on the side looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. In their memory, Ying only brought this bunch of Paimon when she came here.

Paimeng, who was already intoxicated by the pastries, forced her brain to turn on, and after a moment, she spoke!

"Ying! I think you should put me down first!"

"..."

Ying had an expression that said 'I shouldn't have asked you' and decisively let go of her hand. Paimon, who didn't react in time, fell directly to the ground.

Because he had just eaten a full meal, Paimeng's weight was extremely heavy (crossed out), 'slightly' increased, so the fall was not light.

The only good news is that the ground of the House of Worship is relatively flat and there are no dangerous objects such as stones, sand, broken glass, etc., but who says there will be no water on the ground?

At least Ginez won't make such a guarantee.

Paimon felt the water stains on his bloomers, clenched his fists, and even ignored the pain of being thrown, and rushed directly towards Hines.

"Ahhh! Why are you spreading water on the ground, Sines?!"

"Don't slander me. Why couldn't it have existed before the earth?"

"Then swear to Egolia!!!"

"..."

Egolia smiled helplessly and gently grabbed Xines's ear.

"Stop teasing Paimon and dry her quickly."

Ying temporarily gave up thinking about what she had forgotten and pulled Paimon into her arms.

After all, things that you can't remember should not be very important.

At this time, Nashida in Jingshan Palace fell into deep thought as she looked at the packing bags left by Ying and Paimon.
