Chapter 66: Invitation to the Flower God's Birthday Celebration (Tuesday, seeking updates)

The gift Dixiya gave to Ke Lai.

It is a set of the currently most popular headwear and several new clothes in the Sumeru rainforest area.

Originally, the gift she had prepared was not these.

But rather a whole large box of Yalda candy and the Academy's introductory teaching materials she obtained from Ashir.

At that time, Dixiya didn't expect that after Ke Lai sealed the Archon's remnants, his body would return to normal; thinking she liked sweets and happened to be studying with Luo De, she deliberately bought these things back.

However, after seeing that Ke Lai's body had already returned to normal following the sealing of the Archon's remnants, she immediately set off for Kawanyi, and at the black market she bought these headpieces and clothes back as quickly as possible.

Ke Lai, who had never dressed up before, was momentarily at a loss.

But her feminine nature made her love that set of sparkling headwear, playing with it for half a day and unwilling to put it down.

"What's the point of just looking? Put it on and see."

Dixiya said with a smile.

Hearing that,

Ke Lai's hand paused, then reluctantly put the headwear down, her expression dim as she said, "Forget it, I, I'm not suited to wear such nice things."

"What's not suitable about it!"

Dixiya raised an eyebrow, directly grabbed Luo De and drove him out.

"Go, go, go, this is a matter between girls; men shouldn't watch."

Having said that,

She then shoved Luo De out without explanation, and with a bang closed and locked the door tightly.

"."

Luo De, standing outside the door, felt a mix of laughter and tears.

Just saying it nicely would have sufficed.

He's not some kind of lecher who'll take anything.

He hasn't reached the point of peeking at girls changing clothes.

As for driving someone away so violently~~

At this moment.

A De Ba Yi's voice came from beside.

"How is the little girl?"

After careful treatment during this period, A De Ba Yi's injury recovered well.

Sumeru's medical level lives up to its reputation.

In Luo De's previous life, for such severe burns where flesh was completely burned away, one couldn't expect to leave the sickbed in just a few months; one also had to worry about infection, and if a wound infection truly occurred, not even one's life might be saved.

But in Teyvat, in Sumeru,

The miraculous healing from a Vitalist School doctor, as well as the medical technique that opened Luo De's eyes the most,

Not only did it free A De Ba Yi from worrying about infection after severe burns, but in less than three months he could move freely.

Acting as he used to is definitely still impossible.

However, with protective gear, simple daily actions can already return to normal.

This once again made Luo De marvel at how miraculous the supernatural power of another world is!

And those strange tech trees that combine natural science with supernatural power have only increased his interest.

A De Ba Yi sat in the living room chair, holding a book but not opening it, instead fixing his gaze on Luo De.

Cyno had been here before.

A De Ba Yi still cared deeply about being wrongly judged and exiled earlier; since Cyno was Luo De's guest, to avoid letting his emotions flare and ruin the atmosphere, he simply stayed indoors, holed up in the study reading books, and by the same token could help Luo De hide his forbidden books.

Cyno has now left.

He also came out.

However, because of his earlier behavior of avoiding Cyno, he had never seen Ke Lai, only knowing that although the Archon's remnants on Ke Lai's body had been sealed, she remained in a coma.

This made A De Ba Yi anxiously worried.

After spending this time with Luo De and Ke Lai,

A De Ba Yi had long regarded them as his friends and juniors, especially feeling an indescribable fondness for Ke Lai, who had a tragic past.

Previously, when Luo De refused to give Ke Lai candy, it was he who helped her ask for it.

He also earnestly said, "Eating too much sugar is indeed unhealthy, but health is worthless compared to happiness."

With this indisputable reason, he forcibly took from Luo De's hands a box of freshly made juice-milk candy.

If it weren't for the fact that Ke Lai had just been sent back, and Luo De told him she was fine, just exhausted from over-exertion, he would have long been unable to sit still.

Now that Luo De had been driven out, seeing that Ke Lai had awakened, A De Ba Yi immediately closed his book and anxiously inquired about her condition.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong."

Hearing the faint laughter from the room, Luo De curled his lips, walked to A De Ba Yi's side, poured two cups of plain water, pushed one cup to A De Ba Yi, and held the other himself to drink.

After downing a cup of water, he then told A De Ba Yi about Ke Lai's condition after she woke up.

In short,

It's just very good.

Ke Lai's current condition is the best it has been since she contracted the scale plague.

Having said that,

A De Ba Yi also felt relieved.

"As long as there's no problem, as long as there's no problem."

A De Ba Yi muttered to himself, then as if recalling something, he glared and said to Luo De in an annoyed tone: "Haven't you finished today's homework yet? Go do it quickly!!!"

Ah—

Understood.

Luo De, who had been chased around, wore a worried, bitter face as if he'd just drunk a large cup of bitter melon juice, sighed, returned to his study, and began doing the homework A De Ba Yi had assigned him.

Only when the door to Ke Lai's bedroom was pushed open with a creak did he put down his pen and hurry out.

He saw Ke Lai, transformed from head to toe, lowering his head, constantly rubbing the corner of his clothes, facing the gazes of Luo De and A De Ba Yi, not daring to lift his head.

Dixiya knew how to dress well.

Through her, Ke Lai was now completely different from before, like two different people.

The sparkling hair ornament, the pretty, delicate green dress that matched her hair color perfectly, and Dixiya's makeup skills, which could absolutely be called master-level.

Nobody could tell.

Two months ago, Ke Lai was still a dirty child, even more of a vagrant than a vagrant.

Hahaha—

Miss Dixiya, your skillful hands are still amazing.

Look at that idiot Luo De.

The child he brings spends all day wrapped in bandages—what kind of appearance should a child his age have?

A De Ba Yi clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

Seeing Ke Lai's change truly made him very happy.

You, you shouldn't laugh.

A De Ba Yi's laugh—Luo De, who was mocking him, hadn't said anything yet, but Ke Lai's face turned red, adding more unease to his already uneasy expression.

That's great.

Hmm, from now on I'll dress like this.

Luo De didn't take offense at A De Ba Yi's words, and likewise smiled narrowly at Ke Lai.

Dixiya also encouraged, saying: "Look, I've said it, everyone will like you like this, listen to Luo De, from now on dress like this, there are still a few sets of clothes in the box, keep them for changing, and when I come back in a couple days, I'll bring you a few more beautiful sets."

Huh?

You're leaving again?

You just came back, didn't you?

Ke Lai felt a bit disappointed.

I had originally thought I could stay a few more days with Dixiya.

But from what she said, it seems she'll be leaving again soon.

Hmm.

The Flower God's birthday is coming up soon—I need to go celebrate with a friend.

By the way, I'll come back to ask someone whether they want to join me.

As she spoke, Dixiya's gaze turned to Luo De; without directly asking him, she just smiled at him, waiting for his answer.
