Genshin Impact: Pool Character, Nirvana of the Demon God

Chapter 789 Preparations for the Flower Goddess’ Birthday Festival (4)

"This is the Grand Bazaar—the most prosperous market in Xumi, and the center of the upcoming Flower God's Birthday Festival."

Caesar slowly introduced himself to everyone.

Ying and her group followed his gaze and looked forward.

The golden sunlight falls on the colorful market like a gauze. The rich aroma of various spices and the gorgeous colors flowing on the fabrics are intertwined, as if unfolding a vibrant and lively picture.

The streets are lined with colorful lights decorated with garlands, and the shouts of vendors, the laughter of children, and the music of musicians rise and fall, merging into a sea of ​​joy.

Because the birthday of the flower goddess is approaching, the Grand Bazaar has already been decorated with lights and is bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and everywhere is filled with the festive joy and bustle unique to the festival.

"Wow... Is this where the Flower God's Birthday Festival is held?"

"It's so lively! It's just like Liyue's Lantern Festival!" Paimon opened his eyes wide and looked at the bustling scene in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"I don't think... it's here yet."

Iga muttered.

He felt that this scene was still inferior to Liyue's Lantern Festival. First of all, apart from anything else, it was not even as big in scale.

During the Lantern Festival, the entire Liyue is decorated with lights and the whole country is celebrating. Except for the Thousand Rocks Army and the Yaksha Clan, everyone takes a holiday to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.

The only place to celebrate the birthday of the flower god is the Grand Bazaar in front of us.

Caesar nodded slightly, a hint of pride unconsciously etched in his tone. "Although most residents of Xumi City still deeply miss the days of King Dabishu's reign, King Xiaojixiangcao's supporters are also increasing."

"Every time this happens, citizens always come forward to participate in the preparations and volunteer. It is their selfless dedication that makes the annual Flower Goddess Birthday Festival so grand and heartwarming."

Ying raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Caesar, you sounded quite proud when you spoke~"

Caesar smiled faintly, his eyes gentle: "After all, we have worked together for five hundred years, accompanied by each other day and night, how could there not be feelings?"

"Now, watching that child gradually win the hearts and minds of the people and become deeply loved, it would be wrong to say that I feel no ripples in my heart."

"Then... Caesar and the Little Lucky Grass King must have a very good relationship, right?" Paimon asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Caesar shook his head slightly, his expression slightly complicated. "It wouldn't be right to say we have a good relationship. It's better to say... our relationship is a little subtle."

"Subtle?" Everyone looked at each other, full of confusion.

Caesar looked up at the colorful flags fluttering in the distance and said slowly, "Because I was originally a sage from the time of the Great Compassion Tree King."

"Oh~~ Hey!" Paimon responded at first, then after a long reflex arc, his brain realized what was happening, and his face was instantly filled with surprise. "You are the sage of the Great Kindness Tree King? But now you are assisting the Little Auspicious Grass King?"

She scratched her head, blinked, and then thought of a question: "But then again, what does the position of sage actually mean?"

Caesar patiently explained, "A sage is a symbol of Mount Sumeru's wisdom, responsible for assisting the gods in governing the kingdom. During the time of the Great Kindness Tree King, I did my best to counsel her and witnessed the kingdom's many glories. However, to eliminate the hidden dangers of forbidden knowledge, the Great Kindness Tree King chose to sacrifice himself, and thus the Little Auspicious Grass King was born."

"At first, I did have my doubts about the little Auspicious Grass King. After all, she was too young and immature compared to the Great Compassion Tree King. But as we got to know each other, I saw her hard work and growth. Although she was young, she had an indomitable will, and her love for Xumi was no less than that of the Great Compassion Tree King."

"I began to slowly change my attitude, trying to understand and support her. Now, seeing her recognized and loved by the people of Xumi, my heart is filled with emotion. So, my relationship with her is indeed subtle." Listening to Caesar's story, Ying and Paimon were thoughtful, and looked at the bustling Grand Bazaar again, as if they had a deeper understanding of this city and its gods.
