I picked up this little grass god.

Walking into the upside-down city under the abyss of rock, Dainsreb suddenly discovered the abnormality of this place. It can actually weaken the impact of the [Undead Curse].

Then Dainsleb explained to Ying and the others why there were abnormal hillbillies in this place.

Although the Hillilks are cursed with immortality, they are not truly immortal. Their spirits and bodies will eventually be worn out by wear and tear, although not in the form of death.

For the Hillichels who have suffered for hundreds of years, this place that can weaken the curse of undeath cannot save them, but it can allow them to relax a little before they are completely worn out and say goodbye to hundreds of years of pain.

As Dainsleb continued to explain, their conversation was interrupted by a sudden attack from a group of Black Snake Knights.

These Black Snake Knights were once members of the Kanreya Palace Guard, in other words, they were under the command of Dainsleb.

"..."

Dainsleb silently took out the Twin Dragon Shadow Sword and held it up to activate the power of the sword.

These Black Snake Knights had long been eroded by the power of the abyss. After Dainsreb activated the Twin Dragon Shadow Swords, Ying, Paimon and Klevi beside him also felt a strange power, which was called "abyss resistance" by Dainsreb.

This power has a small range and cannot deal with the large-scale offensive of the Abyss, but as long as it is faced head-on, Dainsreb who possesses this power will still become a thorn in the eyes of the Abyss Cult.

As the battle began, all the Black Snake Knights hit by the four of them lost their combat capability due to the collapse of the abyss power in their bodies.

Due to the severe erosion of the abyss, after the power of the abyss collapsed, they also lost their lives that had long ceased to exist.

However, in the end, Deinsreb found a Black Snake Knight who seemed to still retain his self, but the other party left immediately after being discovered, which made Deinsreb a little uncertain.

The four continued to move forward and encountered some Black Snake Knights who were guarding something in the ruins.

After repelling the Black Snake Knights, they finally saw the Hillicrucians.

The hill people who are nearing the end of their lives are no longer as noisy as before, but instead huddle in dark corners, quietly waiting for death to come.

At this time, the Black Snake Knight who seemed to still have his own self came closer and communicated with Dainsreb in the language of ancient Kanriya.

It turns out that the reason these Black Snake Knights appeared here was to protect the people of Kanreya, that is, the current Hillichul people.

Even though five hundred years had passed and they had been eroded to the point of losing their self-identity, their steadfast will had not given up the order that Dainsleb had given to the palace guards before rushing to the palace.

Afterwards, the four continued to explore around the ruins, and Ying discovered an Intivat left behind by someone.

This flower is exactly the same as the one Ying wears on her head. It is the national flower of Kanreya. Once it leaves the land of Kanreya, it will become stiff, so Ying can always wear it as a headdress.

Touching Intivat on the ground, perhaps it was the connection between the twins, Ying saw the memory of an unknown time, the communication between his brother and the Apostle of the Abyss, and at the same time decided to implement the purification plan.

The power of the undead curse can be weakened in this upside-down city, and the source of this weakening comes from a pool in the top-floor room of the ruins.

The plan of the Abyss Cult is to use the technology of the Abyss to expand the purification effect of the pool ten or a hundred times, thereby purifying the undead curse on the hill people.

Upon learning this, Ying and the others immediately rushed to the top floor of the ruins, but they were still a step too late. The Abyss's plan had already begun, and the power of the pool's purification had greatly increased, and the purifying light spread to the surroundings.

Any target covered by the light, as long as they had the curse of undeath, fell into a state of extreme pain for a moment, even Dainsleb was no exception.

But at this moment, the Black Snake Knight who still had self-awareness endured the pain and rushed forward to block the strong light with a purifying effect with his body.

The curse of immortality is a mark of cause and effect. As a curse from God, its existence is higher than that of humans in terms of status.

Moreover, the curse will invade the human body bit by bit, replacing every inch of the body one by one. Even if the curse is lifted, the replaced part of the body will naturally disappear.

In order to lift the curse of immortality, in addition to the power of a higher status, the ability to reverse life and death and the willpower to endure having the body torn apart inch by inch are also essential.

And here none of these are available.

With the help of a black snake knight named Halfdan blocking the source of purification light, Ying and her companions successfully shut down the device used by the Abyss Cult to enhance the purification capacity of the pool, thus ending this tragedy.

……

"..."

"Ugh...?"

Liu Bai, who was having a sweet dream, felt his nose itchy and opened his eyes in confusion.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Nashida had grabbed the end of her ponytail and used her hair to tickle Liu Bai's nose, waking him up.

"Good morning, girl..."

Liu Bai sniffed, then stretched out his arms and hugged Nashida.

"Ah... no good morning, I'm calling you to get up for dinner, hurry up and get up!"

Nashida, who was held in Liu Bai's arms, struggled a bit and explained to him.

“Is, is that so…”

Liu Bai quickly let go of Nashida, sat up from the sofa, looked around, and found himself in the office of the Grass God.

The Great Compassion Tree King standing by waved and greeted Liu Bai with a smile.

"Let's go back and eat."

Nashida took Liu Bai's hand and pulled him up from the sofa.

Liu Bai obediently followed Nashida and the Great Compassion Tree King, and the three of them went to Jingshan Palace.

Although it is not a traditional family of three, it is indeed a family of three.

As for Apep, since she became Nashida's stepmother, she has added another job: cooking.

When the three of them returned to Jingshan Palace, Apep had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Normally, as a god, the Great Compassion Tree King does not need to eat, but under the influence of Liu Bai, Nashida got used to eating on time every day, and the Great Compassion Tree King was also indirectly affected.

After all, they all lived in Jingshan Palace, and it would not be appropriate for the Great Compassion Tree King to just watch the couple eating.

"The first wedding rehearsal will be tomorrow, but the wedding is still five days away, so you don't have to be too nervous."

After dinner, Nashida returned to the bridal chamber and gave Liu Bai instructions.

At this time, the bridal chamber had been decorated with red gauze curtains, red wedding ceremonies on the wall, bright red sheets and pillows, and so on.

In addition, above the wall at the head of the bed was a wedding photo of the two that they had just taken yesterday. Nashida and Liu Bai, wearing wedding dresses, were staring at each other face to face.

It can be said that it was decorated completely according to Liyue's wedding room. Nashida even specially replaced the clear mirror in front of the dressing table with a more stylish bronze mirror.

Compared to the completely Liyue-style wedding room, the Jingshan Palace, which serves as the wedding venue, adopts an internationally popular decorative style, decorated with various flowers, golden ribbons, balloons, and fabrics in softer colors.

"Don't worry, girl..."

Liu Bai really got nervous after hearing what Nashida said, but he still patted his chest and said:

"It's just a wedding... I'm not nervous!"

Liu Bai said this after patting his chest to encourage himself.

"?"

"Oh my, girl, don't blame me... You are a pregnant woman, you can't be angry..."

Liu Bai, whose ears were grabbed by Nashida, quickly begged for mercy.

"Hehe, every time you act like you're in pain I don't dare to use any more force. I don't know if you're really in pain or just pretending."

Nashida snorted twice and spoke with some dissatisfaction, but still let go of Liu Bai's ear.

"Girl, you don't understand this, right? If you hit me, I definitely can't fight back, so I can only take it, so it really hurts."

Liu Bai rubbed his ears, then straightened his collar and spoke seriously.

"Then even if you really feel pain."

Narcida nodded.

Then she looked back at the decorated wedding room and was reluctant to mess it up, after all, the wedding was not here yet.

"Let's go back to the little white house to rest today. We can't mess up the wedding room before the wedding."

Nashida turned around and suggested to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai naturally had no objection. He took Nashida's hand and brought her back to the little white house.

The next day, it was soon time for the wedding rehearsal.

Jingshan Palace is located at a higher point than Jiaolingyuan, and no one dares to approach it without reason, so there is no need to worry about disturbing others during the wedding rehearsal.

Nashida specially invited a band that played music from various countries to perform at the wedding, and they were also present during the rehearsal.

In addition, there is also a wedding host.

This position was originally reserved for Apep, but she was now Nashida's stepmother and was not suitable to host the wedding, so a new selection was made.

"Lord Grass King, we are here."

When Liu Bai, Nashida and others arrived at the wedding hall, Seno immediately turned around and greeted them.

"Lord Grass King."

Tinari beside Seno also greeted.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry to trouble you with the rehearsal later, Tinari."

Nashida brought Liu Bai and greeted the two men, then spoke to Tinari.

After careful consideration, it was decided that the host of the wedding must not have a too low status, after all, Xumi is a country of wisdom.

However, it is not appropriate to let the sages of the Court of Deputies take the position, after all, they are basically quite old.

The only people who can satisfy both youth and high status are Seno and El Haisen.

But one of them told a joke at the wedding, and the other made the wedding too serious, so Nashida rejected them both.

Finally, Nashida set her sights on Tinari.

This person is a student of the sage, has a high academic level, and a relatively normal personality, so he became the best candidate.

Regarding this, Seno never expected that he would be eliminated. Lord Cao Wang obviously likes his jokes, doesn't he?

Well...it's probably because telling jokes at a wedding would make it a cold wedding, which is unlucky.

Seno convinced himself in his heart.

As for why he appeared here, of course it was because he was going to be the best man.

No matter what, he is the man that Xumi and Liu Bai are most familiar with, and the two of them are friends who have risked their lives at the poker table.

"Please rest assured, Lord Cao Wang, I will try my best not to make any mistakes."

Tinari nodded in response to Nashida.

"We are the ones who should be careful not to make any mistakes."

Nashida smiled and shook her head.

For her, although it was her first marriage, she could ensure that she would not make mistakes even without a rehearsal, but Liu Bai could not do that.

In addition, we have to coordinate our steps with the host and the band, so we have to rehearse.

In addition, since the rehearsal would likely be repeated many times, Nashida did not choose to change into a wedding dress, but rehearsed in casual clothes.

Anyway, her movements wouldn't be easily affected by the hem of her wedding dress, so she didn't need to adapt in advance.

"By the way, didn't you meet Nello on the way here?"

Looking at the band nearby who were preparing to play musical instruments, Nashida turned around and asked Tinari and Seno.

"No, but they should be here soon."

Seno shook his head.

He served as Liu Bai's best man, and Nashida also invited several bridesmaids.

The day after the wedding was the birthday of the goddess of flowers, so the dance of the goddess of flowers was not required on the wedding day, so Nilu was invited to be Nashida's bridesmaid.

However, one bridesmaid was definitely not enough, so Nashida also invited Dishia and Dina Zedai, who were very familiar with Nilu.

Dixia shook her head like a rattle at this. It was too difficult for her to be a bridesmaid.

Instead, Dina Zedai happily agreed.

Normally, the number of groomsmen and bridesmaids at a large wedding should be more, but considering that Liu Bai knew relatively few people and most of them came from foreign countries, it was not appropriate to trouble them, so Nashida did not increase the number.

In the end, the number of groomsmen and bridesmaids was determined to be two pairs, namely Nilu and Dina Zedai, and Seno and Linni.

As for why it was Linni, it was because there was no suitable candidate to be found locally, so Narcida went to Fontaine to grab one, and she had already obtained the consent of the servant Alechino.

After waiting for a while, Nilu and Dina Zedai came hurriedly, followed by Linni.

"We are very sorry, Lord Grass God and everyone else, we are late."

Seeing that everyone was waiting for them, Nilu spoke apologetically to Nashida, Liu Bai and others.

"It's okay, it didn't take long, but...what happened to Linny?"

Nashida shook her head, then looked at Linni, who followed Nilu and the others, in confusion.

At this time, he was holding his stomach with one hand, his face was a little pale, and he looked not in good condition.

"I, I'm fine, Master Wangzhe and Master Caoshen..."

Linnie responded weakly.

"What happened is that Mr. Linny rarely came to Xumi, and he accidentally ate the poisonous mushrooms he picked for breakfast..."

Nilu explained Linni's situation to Nashida and the others.

They originally wanted to send Linnie to the Health Home for treatment, but he insisted on coming to the Jingshan Palace.

Considering that Tinari was also in Jingshan Palace today and he was very experienced in dealing with situations where people had eaten poisonous mushrooms, they brought Linnie with them.

"Well, leave this to me. I'll take a look at your situation."

After learning what happened, Tinari quickly stepped forward to check on Linni's condition.

"Linnet... why are you here in Xumi? Aren't we going to come together in a few days?"

Linnie looked at Tinari who was holding one of his hands in confusion.

"..."

"It's not bad. It may be due to my physical condition..."

"But we can't delay any longer. We must prepare the medicine."
