Chapter 753: Departure to the Kingdom of the Rainforest - Xumi (2)
Outlying islands, ports.
Lei Dianzhen came to see off his friend, and Lei Dianying was accompanying Lei Dianzhen and also to see off his benefactor.
Both of them have their own reasons.
Lei Dianzhen smiled at Ying and said, "Don't you welcome us?"
Ying shook her head like a rattle and said, "You're very welcome. But there's one thing I don't understand..."
She looked at the pink fox in Raidenjin's arms.
This color, held in Zhen's arms, and it happens to be a fox, who could it be? It's so hard to guess.
The pink fox rolled her eyes at Ying in a humane manner and said:
"Why are you looking at me? If I didn't really have to come, I wouldn't want to come. This kind of sad farewell scene has become a cliché in light novels."
"I don't want to see the live version."
This fox is none other than the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, a follower of Raiden Shin and Rai Movie, and the great fox demon Yaesugamiko.
Now she is just returning to her original form.
Ying showed a look of sudden realization.
This made sense. If it wasn't a genuine request, this fox-like woman wouldn't have participated in such a sentimental drama.
Although she is originally a fox.
Paimon chuckled and said, "Anyway, Son of God, you still came to see us off. Thank you."
"Mido!" (Thank you!)
Iga expressed his gratitude to Yaegamiko.
Yae Shinko ignored them and changed to a more comfortable position in Raiden Zhen's arms, not interacting with them, but her shaking ears and tail revealed that she enjoyed these words very much.
As to whether it is true or not, who knows?
Lei Dianzhen smiled, gently stroked Yae Shenzi's tail and said, "I'm sorry, Shenzi never likes parting scenes."
"Please understand."
"I didn't." Yae Shinko shook her furry body in protest, but with her current size, facing Raiden Shin, resistance only added to the fun.
At the same time, everyone present expressed disbelief at her words.
Or believe it, but never say it out loud at this time.
At this critical moment, we must unite against the enemy! Raise our banners and attack the arrogant Yaejinko!
After a while of fun, we got back to the topic.
"This ship will depart from the outlying islands and eventually arrive at the port of Omos," said Lei Dianzhen, looking at the ship behind them. "I thought you would choose to cross the rocky abyss to reach the city where the road turns into a forest."
Ying smiled and said, "I did have such an intention at the beginning. After all, it is the shortest way to the past Xumi, but..."
Yiya raised her little hand and replied in unison: "Yeah..." (But Yiya wants to eat fish, fresh sea fish!)
"So it's because of you, little guy."
"Aren't you afraid of delaying the travelers?"
Lei Dianzhen smiled and rubbed Yiya's little head, then ruffled his white hair as if it was a prank.
Then I helped Him take care of it bit by bit.
Ying smiled and shook her head and said, "It won't delay the trip. After all, the purpose of my trip doesn't require me to rush."
Ever since she knew that Kong was the Prince of the Abyss Cult and had his own plans, she didn't need to worry at all.
Ying's travel goal has changed from finding blood relatives to retracing the path Kong walked.
By the way, look for clues about Kong.
If she didn't find it, it meant Kong didn't want her to find it. If she did find it... it meant God wanted her to beat up her good brother.
So Ying is really not in a hurry to travel now.
Instead of trying to reach the destination faster, she wanted to see the scenery she encountered on the journey and see the scenery that no previous traveler had ever seen.
Therefore, when Iya suggested that they wanted to eat fresh sea fish, Ying directly changed the route and decided to take the sea route.
Since she doesn't care about the time it takes to arrive at the destination, why not choose the route that her companions want to take? They can reach the same destination anyway, so it doesn't matter which route they take, right?
Of course, Iya pretending to be pitiful is only part of the reason...
It is definitely not the most important factor, absolutely not.
"Is that so?" Lei Dianzhen pondered. "By the way, I remember that your original goal was to find the Seven Gods, right?"
Ying nodded and said, "It would be best if you could get to know the gods. If not, I won't force you."
She initially sought out the Seven Gods for two reasons:
One is to look for clues about his brother through the Seven Gods.
Of course, this goal has now been achieved.
The second was to find the murderer who had attacked her and her brother. However, she had now learned from Jun Bai that the one who had attacked her and Kong was one of the Four Shadows of Sky Island.
The ruler of the sky, Asmodai.
And the law of nature seems to be playing a driving role behind the scenes.
Now that she knew who the enemy was, Ying naturally wouldn't think about looking for the Seven Gods anymore. Of course, it would be fine if she had the chance to meet them.
"That's it..."
Lei Dianzhen nodded, then said with a smile: "Then it seems that the farewell gift I prepared is a bit redundant."
Raiden Shin took out a cherry blossom-shaped badge and handed it to Ying:
"Give."
"Thank you."
Although she didn't know its specific use, Ying still accepted the gift prepared by Lei Dianzhen with gratitude and carried it carefully with her.
"Don't you want to know the purpose?"
"Are you really not going to tell me what it's for?"
Lei Dianzhen chuckled and said, "Of course not."
"This is my token. It carries my scent. After you arrive at the Port of Omos, someone will follow this scent to find you."
"If you wish to meet the Grass God... or seek his help, you can try to explain the situation to him."
Paimon's eyes widened. "You can even arrange a meeting with the Grass God?"
The Eightfold Divine Son poked his head out from the vast bosom of Thunder and Lightning Zhen and said leisurely, "Little fellow, have you forgotten that Zhen has been cultivating in Xumi for the past five hundred years?"
"Even if she hasn't been with the newly appointed Grass God for the past five hundred years, she must have known him."
"As for the Great Compassionate Tree King..."
Yae Shenzi chuckled softly, brushing the tip of his tail across his lips. "That's an old friend of Ah Zhen and the Dust King of Liyue."
"After all, they are all intelligent demon gods, so they naturally have a common language. So, if someone really has connections in Xumi and can meet the Grass God, is it really that difficult to understand?"
Lei Dianzhen nodded: "That's right."
"With Iya here, the Great Kindness Tree King and the Small Auspicious Grass King will be kind to you, so if you need help, all you need is a chance to meet them."
"So my gift to you is this opportunity."
"When you need the Grass God's help, please don't hesitate to use this opportunity directly."
Lei Dianzhen's smile blossomed like cherry blossoms. She said with a smile: "After all... this is the best gift I can prepare for you."
"So of course I hope it can help you... Please don't save this favor for me~"
