Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 439 A Dream of Sumeru, The Birthday of the Flower Goddess

"Beautiful, like a dream..."

As a gentle breeze blew, Eve felt a sense of relaxation she had never experienced before.

The wind over Mount Sumeru is still as gentle as ever.

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Nasita tilted her head back and blinked her big eyes at Eve.

"No, I'm thinking about where to go later."

Eve rested her chin on one hand, gazing at Sumeru City.

Blue sky and white clouds, everything was so peaceful.

"Let's go to Tianbi Pool then, and I also want to go to the desert..."

"How about Huacheng Guo instead?" Naxida said, sucking on her finger. She had so many places she wanted to visit.

"No, Little Grass God."

Suddenly, Elhesen's voice came from behind.

"Elhesen, what brings you here?" Eve turned around and saw Elhesen holding a stack of documents.

He had deep dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he had stayed up late the night before.

"I haven't seen the Little Grass God for even a day."

"Do you know that there are still many things to deal with after the war, and the refugees in the desert still need to be appeased?"

“There are still many administrative matters waiting for you to handle.” Elhesen’s tone revealed his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Mr. Elhesen..."

Nasita reluctantly jumped down from the railing and walked toward Elhesen with a pitiful expression.

Eve, who was standing to the side, turned her head and whistled, seemingly trying to hide herself.

If you scold her, you can't scold me, okay?

“And the Tree King.” Elhesen’s sharp gaze shifted to Eve.

"The most important government affairs still require your approval, so please take them seriously!"

"I'm so disappointed in you," Elhesen said, exasperated.

"I...I understand..." Eve said weakly.

Sigh, who told them to go out and play?

After all, it seemed that the post-war handling work had fallen entirely on Elhesen's shoulders.

"By the way, Tree King, we'll need your presence to receive our guests later." Elhesen's tone softened considerably.

"A guest?" Eve was somewhat surprised.

Who else would come at this time, and what level of guests would require her to receive them?

"It is the wind god of Mondstadt."

"We should arrive at Tianbi Pool tonight."

"For diplomatic reasons, your personal attendance is required to receive us."

After Elhesen finished speaking, he left with Nasida.

As Nasita left, she looked back at Eve with lingering reluctance.

"It's Wendy, that guy..."

Eve recalled the drunken poet with the green hat.

"Sigh, never mind, I'll go anyway," Eve sighed.

I wonder what this drunken poet is doing here now.

By the time Eve came to her senses, Narcida had already been taken away by Elhesen.

She turned her head and glanced at the Sumeru City below, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"She's still so beautiful..."

......................

Tianbi Pond.

It was evening.

A large cargo ship slowly entered the port.

Eve and her guards had been waiting at the port for some time, with Seno and Tirna standing beside her.

Although Eve's safety doesn't need their guarantee, the necessary scenes still need to be presented.

The cargo ship slowly docked at the port, and a patch of green appeared.

"Hi! Eve!" Wendy waved to Eve, looking very enthusiastic.

"Long time no see."

Guess who else I brought along?

Wendy smiled and pulled Zhongli out from behind.

"Haha, it's the old man!"

"You didn't expect that, did you? I just casually pulled him over when I passed by Liyue!!"

Wendy was overjoyed, but Zhongli, standing to the side, slowly rolled his eyes.

If it weren't for the drunken poet's help during the post-war reconstruction, Zhongli wouldn't have followed him.

However, it's not impossible to visit Eve.

"Old friend, it's been a long time."

Zhongli and Wendy disembarked from the cargo ship together.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"But how did you get here?" Eve asked them, puzzled.

She could understand the alcoholic, but why did the old man come along too?

"Hey, it's been a long time! Come over and have some fun."

Wendy looked left and right.

"It seems that Sumeru is still very powerful, the city is so well preserved."

"Oh right, what about the wine you promised me?" Wendy moved closer to Eve.

"I bet that's why you came here, isn't it?" Eve said with deadpan eyes.

"What are you saying? In the end, I was the one who brought you back!" Wendy said, hands on her hips, looking very arrogant.

"Okay, okay, I'll have Elhesen give it to you later." Eve's lips unconsciously curled up.

It's really nice to have a few old friends like this.

At least, it made her feel very warm.

Eve turned her gaze to Zhongli.

"To repay a favor, and also to come and take a look," Zhongli said calmly.

Actually, he was also very worried about Eve.

After all, they were all witnesses to that great battle.

Eve single-handedly cleared the first and second thrones, ushering Teyvat into the human era.

"Thank you..." Eve smiled slightly and walked off the cargo ship to greet them.

"In addition, we also want to witness the lively celebration of the Flower Goddess's birthday."

“After all, this is the Tree King’s birthday,” Zhongli suddenly said.

"Flower, the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival?" Eve asked, somewhat bewildered.

"What are you talking about? The Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival?"

"Isn't it tomorrow?" Wendy asked from the side.

“I made sure to find out beforehand before bringing the old man along.”

"What, you're not going to be unhappy with me?" Wendy had a look on her face that said, "I've already seen through you."

"tomorrow?"

She looked at Seno beside her.

Seno nodded. "Yes, Lord Tree King."

"Have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the Flower Goddess's birthday festival."

“The Great Sage Elhesen said that in order to rebuild morale and public confidence after the war, the Flower Goddess’s Birthday Festival must be held in a grand manner, so that all the people of Sumeru will know that Sumeru is invincible and that the Tree King will live forever.” Seno said respectfully, not at all like someone who was lying.

"is it?"

But I...

Eve frowned slightly, and before she could figure it out, Wendy pulled her away.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's talk about these things later."

"I need to go for a drink; I'm about to suffocate on this ship."

Wendy immediately spotted the taverns in the city.

"Sigh, what a drunken poet." Zhong Li sighed softly and followed Wendy away.

Eve could only follow behind, silently pondering.

"Is tomorrow the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival?"

"Tomorrow is the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival."

It seems I remembered it wrong; tomorrow really is the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival.

Eve told Seno and the others to go back and report ahead, while she followed the two of them.

On the way, Eve chatted casually with her two old friends, seemingly returning to the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere they had shared before.

They soon arrived at the tavern, where Wendy immediately started drinking heavily.

Zhongli, on the other hand, ordered a pot of yellow wine and slowly savored it.

Only Eve had juice in front of her.

"You guys are really going too far." Eve crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks, clearly dissatisfied.

"I can't help it, I made you act crazy after you drank." Wendy spread out one hand and took another drink.

“That makes sense,” Zhongli nodded from the side.

“You guys…” Eve was speechless.

That night, Zhongli and Wendy, who was already hungover, stayed at an inn in Sumeru City. They still wanted to experience the Flower Goddess's birthday festival as mortals.

After all, the appearance of three gods together would be too solemn.

Eve returned to the Pure Land Palace.

Lying in bed, she was still carefully recalling the events of the day.

Is tomorrow really the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival?

Maybe I really did remember it wrong.

the next morning.

The sunlight in Sumeru City always carries an air of wisdom, but today, this air is mixed with an exceptionally rich floral fragrance and a sweet, delightful joy.

Patissa petals floated in the air, and people dressed in bright festive attire, their faces beaming with smiles.

Because the Flower Goddess Festival is about to begin.

Jingshan Palace.

As soon as Eve arrived, Al-Hysen was already waiting at the door.

"Lord Tree King, please change your clothes quickly, the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival is about to begin."

"The festive attire has already been placed at the door."

"understood."

After Eve responded, Al-Hysen left.

Eve, still in her pajamas, reluctantly got out of bed.

Eve slept exceptionally well last night because she secretly removed all the rhinestones from her pajamas.

Nightgown Eve

Eve opened the window and gazed at the distant city of Sumeru.

The city of Sumeru is filled with flowers, and as the sun rises, the streets begin to bustle with activity.

"It really is the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival."

“It seems I really did remember wrong.” Eve shook her head.

She went to the door and brought the clothes inside.

Because it was a holiday, the Church specially prepared a new dress for Eve to wear for the occasion.

The dress is dignified and elegant, unlike the usual white dresses, with many more colorful embellishments.

After changing her clothes, Eve looked at herself in the mirror.

Dress Eve

"Hmm, the workmanship of the Order of the Fathers is quite good this time."

Eve nodded slightly and then left the room.

Inside the city of Sumeru.

At the entrance of the hotel, a gentle breeze inexplicably stirred up a few petals, and it was as if an invisible door had opened in the air, through which two tourists with extraordinary bearing stepped out.

One was dressed in a green bard's robe, with a Cecilia flower tucked into the brim of his hat. His blue eyes were filled with curiosity and amusement. The other was tall and slender, wearing a long robe with brown and gold patterns. He was composed and his rock-gold eyes calmly swept over the bustling street scene.

They are Wendy and Zhongli.

"How about it, old man? My new outfit looks great, right? No one will recognize me!" Wendy said confidently.

Zhongli's gaze swept over Wendy from head to toe. "What...new outfit have you changed into?"

"Here, here!"

Wendy pointed to her hat, which had a Cecilia flower and a Patty Sharon on it.

Zhongli fell silent.

"From a purely rational perspective, there is no difference between you dressing up and not dressing up at all."

"Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Wendy straightened the flowers, then skipped and hopped onto the street.

"Ugh....."

Zhongli sighed and followed.

On the street, Wendy took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the joy into her lungs. "This festive atmosphere is even more intoxicating than the aroma of wine at the Mondstadt Wine Festival!"

Zhongli nodded slightly, his gaze falling on a spice stall.

"It is indeed an unprecedented spectacle. I've heard that the knowledge of spices in Sumeru is profound and extensive; perhaps we could purchase some..."

"Are you two interested in the spices of Sumeru?"

Dolly, the spice seller, immediately revealed a shrewd merchant's expression.

She's going to make a fortune during this Flower Goddess's birthday festival.

While she's at it, she should also try to find the person who tricked her with fake divine knowledge.

How could Morax's business philosophy be this?

Dolly, anyway, didn't believe it.

"These spices seem to be of good quality, boss. What's the price?"

Zhong Li walked up to the stall.

"Spices? Take them back and let Diona try mixing them in a cocktail; they'll definitely taste great." Wendy also had her eye on the spices.

"Guest, one serving of spices costs 30 Mora, no bargaining."

"These are all spices made by a master, personally ground by hand, absolutely worth the price."

Dolly said with absolute certainty.

"Yes, it's really good."

"Then let's have five bags." Zhongli nodded; these spices were indeed quite good.

"Sir, this is a generous treat!" Dolly rubbed her hands together, her eyes slightly narrowed.

I didn't expect to get a sale so early in the morning. Business is definitely much better in Sumeru City.

Zhong Li was about to pay when she suddenly froze.

He turned to look at Wendy.

"By the way, did you bring Mora?"

“Me?” Wendy pointed to herself, her face full of disbelief.

"If I had, I wouldn't have needed to sing for money while I was drinking yesterday."

“That’s true…” Zhongli pondered.

Dolly overheard their conversation and immediately offered them spices.

"You two don't have any Mora, do you? We don't offer credit."

Zhongli was also in a dilemma. He had overspent on the bill at the Rebirth Hall last month, and the hall master had already deducted all of his salary for the month after next. He really had no money left.

At this moment, Zhongli noticed that Dolly's stall had a two-headed clay figurine of Morax, and behind it hung a statue of the God of Wealth of Morax.

Wendy noticed it too and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, look... hahahahaha..."

Before Zhongli could even discipline him, Dolly, who was standing nearby, became very angry.

"You bastard, you can't afford it, fine, but you dare to laugh at the God of Wealth?"

"Do you know that this is Morax from Liyue, the famous God of Wealth?!"

"How dare you disrespect Him? Laugh again and I'll have someone deal with you!" Several thumbs-up emojis had already appeared above Dolly's head.

"I... I won't laugh..." Wendy covered her mouth, but couldn't help it.

Zhongli pondered for a moment after seeing the picture, and suddenly had a good idea.

"Young friend, I see you are also a follower of Morax. I come from Liyue and also worship the Geo Archon. Here is a confidential document on Morax's financial expertise. Would you like to consider it?"

"Morax's financial experience?"

When Dolly heard this, her first reaction was not happiness, but rather deep thought.

Where have I heard this name before?

"Are you from Liyue?"

“I am indeed Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth.” Zhongli nodded.

"Hiss... In that case, name your price." Dolly chose to trust him one more time.

“Those five bags of spices will suffice,” Zhongli said.

Dolly thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Anyway, the initial investment for these few bags of spices was only a few thousand moras, so it's a great deal.

"Come closer and listen carefully."

Zhongli became serious and whispered in Dolly's ear:

"Create Mora anytime."

"The bill is sent somewhere, and you wait for your wallet to pay it off automatically."
