Chapter 446: The Birth of Nahida (Please Subscribe)

Liyue Harbor.

After seeing off Yae Miko and little Linghua's family, Jiang Yan returned to the Yuheng Pavilion.

"A-Yan, Miko and Linghua and the others have all gone back?"

Little Ganyu was on the third floor organizing documents for Jiang Yan. Seeing Jiang Yan come in, she asked him.

"Mm, all sent back."

Jiang Yan stepped forward and pulled Little Ganyu into his arms.

Mm...

Still, hugging his own soft, sweet-smelling little coconut sheep is the most comfortable~

Feeling the faint fragrance drifting from Little Ganyu's hair, Jiang Yan's hands immediately began to wander.

"Hey, don't be like that."

Little Ganyu's pretty face flushed red as she broke free from Jiang Yan's embrace.

Usually at home doing this would be one thing.

Doing this in broad daylight here at the Yuheng Pavilion—grown as you are, you still don't know shame.

"Hehe 'three-seven-seven' hehe, force of habit, force of habit."

Jiang Yan laughed sheepishly, while Little Ganyu glared at him with a reddened face.

"I'm not staying with you, this bad guy, any longer. I'm going back to work."

"Sort out the remaining documents yourself."

Little Ganyu turned around, quickly pushed open the door, and walked out.

"After all these years, how are you still this cute."

Jiang Yan smiled, then looked at the pile of disorganized documents before him that had yet to be sorted.

"Mm... it's that time of day again—the most painful moment for doing work."

Jiang Yan reached out and finished organizing the remaining unsorted documents, then began reviewing the stack Little Ganyu had just brought up.

In the evening, Jiang Yan took Little Ganyu's little hand, and together they walked home.

After accompanying the little ones at home through dinner, Little Ganyu was telling stories to Little Ningguang and the other two little ones, while Jiang Yan went upstairs alone to the second floor.

Pushing open the door to the room where the World Tree branch was planted, a faint woody fragrance greeted him.

At the center of the entire room, the World Tree branch swayed gently.

At the tip of the branch, among the leaves that had grown out, a girl with white hair, the ends tinged with a touch of blue-green, curled up, looking as though she was sleeping very sweetly.

Only if one looked closely could one tell.

A faint illusory hue surrounded this white-haired little loli, proving she was not a physical being.

"Mm, looks like it's only a day or two before the soul fully awakens."

Jiang Yan was very excited—after all, he had waited a full five hundred years for this moment!

His sweet, soft little Nahida could finally be born!

Eheh!

Jiang Yan activated the Soul Gem once more, pouring a portion of soul power into it, and was just about to turn and walk out when, suddenly, a stir came from behind him.

"You... who are you?"

Behind him, a soft, sticky, very faint voice rang out.

Jiang Yan's body trembled sharply, and he turned his head.

He saw that the white-haired girl who had been sleeping on the World Tree branch was now sitting up, eyes slightly open, looking as though she had just woken.

Could it be that the nurtured soul had awakened all at once?

Jiang Yan turned around and walked to the girl's front.

"Can you see what I look like?"

Jiang Yan bent down and said softly.

The little girl seemed to be trying hard to open her eyes, as if to see the person before her clearly.

"A bit... blurry......"

The girl's voice carried a touch of weakness; within the soft voice was a hint of drowsiness, her little head nodding on and off.

"If you're sleepy, sleep first. When you wake next time, I'll answer every question you want to know."

Jiang Yan gently brushed the girl's cheek, though there was no physical sensation.

The Soul Gem on his right hand lit up, and a faint fluorescence flowed into the girl's body, making her feel very comfortable.

After all, Jiang Yan had always used the girl as a product of the soul infused by the Soul Gem, so the Soul Gem's energy naturally made the girl very comfortable.

Perhaps the sense of familiarity brought by the energy emanating from the Soul Gem made the girl affectionately nuzzle against Jiang Yan's hand.

"Okay~"

After saying this word, the girl fell back into slumber once more.

"Mm, next is to place it at the World Tree to be nurtured."

Jiang Yan carefully picked up the World Tree branch planted in the pot.

Then he raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

The Space Gem lit up.

A portal opened before Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan instantly arrived at the territory where the World Tree was located.

To prevent this matter from being discovered by the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Jiang Yan carefully observed his surroundings, making sure the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata wasn't Staying in the World.

Still, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata wouldn't have nothing better to do than come A Journey Through the World to the World Tree.

After ensuring safety, Jiang Yan chuckled and approached the World Tree.

"World Tree, oh World Tree, since I helped you drive away that thing, just consider this returning the favor."

While speaking, Jiang Yan took the World Tree branch from the pot in his arms.

The World Tree seemed to sense something and swayed slightly.

A bubble-like sphere appeared around the branch, encircling it.

It then flew to the top of the World Tree and settled in a certain position.

Jiang Yan stared in shock at the scene before him.

No way.

World Tree, you really have consciousness??

Jiang Yan's earlier words were merely for his own comfort.

He truly did not expect the World Tree to actually understand his words.

But this is actually quite good.

Jiang Yan had originally been thinking about how to let the World Tree nurture this branch.

Now it seems he does not need to do that at all.

He only needs to wait quietly for Nahida to awaken.

Jiang Yan rose into the air and arrived at the 1.7 position where the World Tree placed the branch.

Pure white luminescence constantly shone around the white-haired girl; the little girl's lips curled up, as if she were having a beautiful dream.

"Hehe, such a cute little girl."

Looking at little Nahida's sleeping form, Jiang Yan wore an auntie's smile.

At this moment, the World Tree began to shake continuously, as if trying to drive Jiang Yan away.

"Hah? You fellow."

Sensing the consciousness transmitted by the World Tree, Jiang Yan was so angered he laughed right there on the spot.

This fellow actually mistook the soul cultivated on this branch for his own child!

"Fine, fine, fine, I'm leaving, I'm leaving."

"I'll come find her again when she wakes up tomorrow."

Jiang Yan calmed his anger and shrugged; after all, at this time he still needed the World Tree to nurture Nahida so she could take human form.
