Light Ce Village.

After being brought here by Shiraki, Naxida's unfocused pupils slowly regained focus.

Previously, after the arrival of the Great Compassion Tree King, Naxida, who was staying in the Pure Good Palace, was very happy.

After all, her conversation with the Great Tree King hadn't ended before the Great Tree King was pulled away by Bai Mu.

Now that the Great Tree King has returned, Nasita is overjoyed.

And when the Great Tree King offered to play the zither for her, her joy was almost overflowing.

However, the moment the Great Tree King plucked the strings, Nasita instantly regretted it.

Upon hearing the music, Nasita initially thought that the Great Tree King might have been deceived by Bai Mu and that Bai Mu had come to murder her.

Nasita then tried to speak to stop the Great Tree King from continuing to play, but tormented by the music, she could not utter a sound no matter how she tried.

In the end, the desperate Nasita could only stare wide-eyed as death approached.

"Where am I? Am I dead?"

Looking around at the dimly lit room, Nasita sat on the floor and muttered to herself.

Over the years, Shiraki's cave has been decorated with rock elements, and it no longer resembles its original appearance.

It was only because there was no lighting in the room and it was underground that it appeared so dark.

"Yes, that's right, you're dead."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, startling Nasita, who had just recovered from her shock.

Because Bai Mu couldn't bear it any longer, he withdrew his consciousness from the avatar and waited until the Great Tree King finished playing before putting his consciousness back on it.

Shiraki is currently controlling his main body to communicate with Nasita.

As he spoke, Shiraki casually turned on some of the room's lights.

Instantly, the previously dim room was illuminated.

After the room brightened up, Nasita was able to see the creature that had been speaking.

It is a creature that resembles a lizard.

It's about the size of a palm, and quite cute.

"Who are you? Was that you who just spoke?"

Naxi Da tilted her head and asked in confusion.

She felt that Bai Mu's voice was somewhat familiar, but she was certain that she had never seen this kind of creature before.

“I am the owner here, and I was the one who just spoke.”

Bai Mu nodded and answered Naxida's question.

"Wait, something's not right."

Nasita carefully considered her feelings. She had just thought she was dead, and the little lizard next to her had said the same thing.

But when she came to her senses, she found herself still on the continent of Teyvat, and her body was perfectly normal; she did not seem to have died.

"Little lizard, am I really dead?"

Nasita asked the white tree floating beside her. At the same time, she reached out to stroke the white tree's head.

However, just as Nasita reached out her hand, Shiraki dodged it.

"Lizard...lizard?"

Upon hearing Nasita's address to him, Shiraki's lips twitched.

She hadn't even mentioned that she was a badminton player yet, and she went ahead and called herself a lizard.

Do I look like a lizard to you?

Bai Mu asked expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Naxi Da nodded.

"picture!"

"Your mother's!"

Bai Mu said something that Naxi Da couldn't understand.

Then a burst of light enveloped Bai Mu's body, and after the light dissipated, Bai Mu, dressed in black, appeared in front of Naxida.

"Huh? It's you?"

Naxi stared wide-eyed at Bai Mu, who had transformed from a lizard into a human, and asked in shock.

She recognized Shiraki, but she couldn't understand how the little lizard that had been so cute just moments before could turn into this guy.

Why did you bring me here?

Nasida suddenly remembered what Bai Mu had said before: that he was the master of this place.

So, my sudden appearance here must have been done by Shiramu.

What she couldn't understand was why Shiraki had brought her here.

If anyone should be brought here, it should be her mother, not her.

"why?"

Looking at Naxi Da's wise little eyes, Bai Mu gently rubbed her head.

Under Nasita's angry gaze, Bai Mu replied:

"If I hadn't brought you here, the Grass God of your Sumeru would probably be a different person by now."

Upon hearing this, Nasida carefully recalled what had happened before.

She remembered that the Great Tree King had suddenly come to her and said he wanted to play the zither for her.

Nasida agreed without much thought.

However, she regretted it the moment the Great Tree King began to play the zither.

In her five hundred years of life, Nasita had never heard such a terrifying sound.

Even now, when she recalls it, her head still aches slightly.

"What's going on? Does my mother not like me anymore?"

Nasita looked up at Bai Mu, hoping to get an answer from him.

She simply couldn't understand why the Great Tree King was treating her this way.

Seeing Naxida's pitiful expression, as if she had been abandoned, Bai Mu patted her head again and comforted her:

"It's not what you think; it's just that your mother doesn't know how awful her piano playing is."

"impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Nasita, though wanting to believe Bai Mu, still retorted:

"As the former goddess of wisdom and the most intelligent person in the world, my mother could not possibly be unable to play the piano."

"Yes, you're not wrong about that."

Bai Mu nodded, confirming Naxida's statement.

What she said wasn't wrong.

When the Great Compassion Tree King played the Sumeru Poetry Qin before, the music was indeed like heavenly music, making people feel happy.

But let's say there's a possibility that your mother, being a deity of Mount Sumeru, doesn't know how to play the Mondstadt lyre.

Bai Mu glanced at Naxida, who was still looking dejected, and then ignored her.

Judging from the time, I estimate that the Great Tree King's performance is almost over.

Bai Mu planned to go and check on the situation, and then let the Great Tree King explain to Naxida himself. He didn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing.

……

Jingshan Palace.

At this point, the Great Tree King had stopped playing.

Shiraki's consciousness returned to his avatar, and he found himself lying on the ground.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Great Tree King standing next to him.

Because the skirt worn by the Great Tree King was not the kind that covered his ankles, but rather the kind that just covered his knees.

This resulted in Shiraki seeing things he shouldn't have just seen upon opening his eyes...

Weird.

At noon, Shiroki learned why the Great Tree King could confidently fly with Xiangling when he first went to Mondstadt.

The reason was that Bai Mu, who was lying on the ground, did not see anything he should not have seen. What he thought he could see was completely blocked by a ball of holy light.
