Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Go back? Why do you want to go back? Nilu, we just arrived in Liyue. Didn't we agree to travel together? Why do you want to go back alone now?"

Hearing this, Nashida turned to look at Nilu and asked with some confusion.

Nilu lowered her head and whispered, "Lord Grass God, at first I thought you really just wanted me to travel with you, but now that you have decided to stay in Liyue, I... I don't know what to do here, it's better to go back to Xumi..."

"You can't say that, Nello."

Nashida interrupted Nilu and gently held her hand, her eyes full of sincerity: "You are my friend, not my follower. Even if I decide to stay in Liyue, you can still do what you want here. Besides, Liyue has many interesting things that Xumi doesn't have. We can explore together."

"But...if I stay here, will it disturb the lives of you, Lord Grass God, and Mr. Su Xun?"

Nilu was still a little hesitant. She was worried that her presence would bring inconvenience to Nashida and Su Xun, the father and daughter who had just met, and their family.

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Nashida to reply, Paimon flew to Nilu and chirped, "Nilu, why do you think so? You also heard what Su Xun said, that he will buy a big yard tomorrow. By then, the place will be very large, so why would he disturb you? It would be great if you could stay and play with everyone."

Su Xun also smiled gently and said, "Paimon is right. Miss Nilu doesn't need to worry too much. Since you are Nashida's friend, you are also our friend. Liyue welcomes everyone to come. And one more person means more fun. Just stay here with peace of mind."

After hearing what they said, Nilu felt a little touched.

She raised her head and asked nervously, "Is it really okay? Will I... cause you trouble?"

"Of course not." Su Xun answered affirmatively, "We welcome friends very much. Your arrival will only make this place more lively and joyful."

Ying also persuaded Nilu not to think too much and to stay with peace of mind.

Nilu listened to everyone's enthusiastic words of persuasion and finally smiled shyly, "Well, in that case, I will bother you all from now on."

"Hehe, that's right." Paimon flew a few circles in the air happily.

However, as she was flying, her stomach began to growl, and Paimon scratched her head embarrassedly.

"It looks like Paimon is hungry." Su Xun said with a smile, "It's time for dinner too, let's celebrate today and welcome Nashida and Nilu."

"Great, great!" Paimon cheered, "We were just thinking about coming back to eat, but we ended up chatting for so long that I'm starving. Chef Su Xun, please prepare a delicious meal for us!"

Su Xun smiled, shook his head and said, "No hurry, I will go to Inazuma first to bring Ah He and Sister Gui Zhong back to Liyue. Since there is a new member in the family, I have to tell them.

Oh, and Hu Tao, Ying, please contact Hu Tao and ask her to come back for dinner. Let's take this opportunity to have a family gathering."

"Family gathering? Hmm...well, come to think of it, it's been a while since we've had dinner together." Paimon was stunned for a moment, then said.

Ying nodded, pulled out her communication jade pendant, and began to contact Kurumi, while Su Xun headed to Inazuma via the pocket anchor.

Nashida and Nilu looked at each other, both with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

They didn't know who Ah He was, and they were unfamiliar with the name Hu Tao, but listening to Su Xun's words, it seemed like she was their family?

The two watched Ying take out a white jade pendant, which was sparkling with a warm luster in the sun, and there seemed to be some fine patterns engraved on the jade pendant.

Then Ying injected elemental power into it. After a few seconds, the jade pendant began to glow softly. Then a lively and eccentric voice came out from the jade pendant: "Huh? Yingying, why did you contact me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Nashida and Nilu did not feel strange when they heard the sound coming from the jade pendant. In Teyvat, the technique and means of transmitting sound through special objects were not uncommon.

Ying was obviously used to the affectionate name Hu Tao gave her, and she just said calmly: "Hu Tao, there are new members and new friends at home today. My husband said he wants to have a family gathering. You should come back for dinner."

"New member? New friend?" Hu Tao's voice came from the jade pendant, with a bit of curiosity, "Who is it? Tell me quickly."

Ying glanced at Nashida and Nilu, and said with a smile: "You'll know when you come back. By the way, you don't have work tonight, right?"

"Hmph, you're still keeping me in suspense." Walnut grumbled, then said, "Don't worry, there's nothing important going on in the Hall of Rebirth today. I'll go back right away. Do you need me to bring anything back?"

Ying thought for a moment and said, "No need. There is still enough food at home. You can just come back directly."

"Okay, I'll get ready now, see you later." After Hu Tao finished speaking, the light of the communication jade pendant gradually dimmed.

Ying put away the jade pendant, looked at Nashida and Nilu who were full of curiosity, and said with a smile: "Hu Tao will be back soon. She is the head of Liyue Wangsheng Hall, and also... well, my 'sister'."

"Sister?" Nashida tilted her head. "Is she Mama Ying's biological sister? Should I call her aunt?"

“Uh…” Ying laughed dumbly, then shook her head and said, “She’s not my biological sister, but she’s better than my biological sister. As for the name… well, you can call her mom later.”

The language is amazing!

"what?"

Nashida was stunned, and Nilu's eyes widened.

"Puchi, Nashida, you may not know yet, Hu Tao is also one of Su Xun's wives~" Paimon on the side looked at the shocked expressions of the two and couldn't help laughing.

She likes to see other people's surprised expressions the most, it feels very interesting.

"One of them?" Nashida didn't care about being surprised, and grasped the key information in Paimon's words, "Does father have many wives?"

"Yes, hehe~ You didn't expect it, Nashida, besides Ying, you have, um... one, two, three... eight, yes! You also have eight mothers, plus Ying, that's nine! From now on, you may be the happiest daughter in the world. After all, you have so many mothers to spoil you together." Paimon counted on his fingers, then blinked mischievously.

"And eight more moms?!"

Nashida's eyes widened in surprise.
