Genshin Impact: A Martial Arts Master's Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 184: Forest Ranger

Lingkong: "My name is Lingkong, just call me by my name."

Paimeng: "I'm an adventurer, Paimeng."

Kelai: "Is the Sword Master... a high-ranking official in Liyue?"

Lingkong: "It's just a nickname, representing the recognition of me by my friends in the martial arts world."

Tinari sat on a stool: "The Sword Master is probably the strongest person in Liyue."

Lingkong: "It's just an empty title. I'm far from being the strongest."

Tinari: "Where is Mr. Lingkong going?"

Lingkong: "I want to meet the Grass God."

Tinari: "You want to see the Great Kindness Tree King? You have to go to Xumi City. However, it is said that the Great Kindness Tree King lives in seclusion and few people have seen her."

Lingkong: "Another homebody."

Tinari: "Mr. Lingkong, you can come with me tomorrow. I'll walk you part of the way."

Lingkong: "That would be the best."

At night, forest rangers usually read books and learn some knowledge.

Lingkong was meditating outdoors, the rich grass element gave him some new insights into his own cultivation.

Pai Meng came out of Ke Lai's room and said, "Why are you still practicing? Ke Lai is asleep."

Lingkong: "If you want to sleep, just go into the Chen Ge Pot and sleep. You don't have to wait for me."

Pai Meng: "That won't work. What if you are in danger? I have to protect you."

Lingkong hugged her: "Paimeng is still considerate." He gave her a kiss first, hmm, it was so fragrant and soft.

Pai Meng: "I want to hear the story of Journey to the West."

Lingkong: "Isn't Journey to the West finished?"

Pai Meng: "I can't bear to part with the Great Sage."

Lingkong: "You like Sun Wukong so much? Then I will teach you how to dance with the stick flower, okay?"

Pai Meng: "Dancing stick flower?"

Lingkong: "If you learn the stick dance, you will also be the Monkey King."

Pai Meng's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want to be the Monkey King and subdue demons and monsters."

Lingkong shrunk the Ruyi Magic Staff and gave it to Paimeng, then held her little hand and taught her how to dance with the stick.

Paimeng played happily for a long time. When he was tired, he lay on Lingkong's legs and fell asleep.

The rain forest of Xumi is not cold at night, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, but they are kept out by Lingkong's true Qi.

As soon as it was daybreak, Lingkong got up and stretched his muscles.

Tinari: "I saw you sitting all night, are you practicing?"

Lingkong: "Well, I'm meditating. This is a common practice among the people of Liyue."

Tinari: "Some outsiders may not be able to adapt to the climate in Xumi, and there are many poisonous things in the wild of Xumi, so you'd better be careful."

Lingkong: "Thanks for the reminder."

Pai Meng flew out of the Chen Ge pot: "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

Lingkong: "I want to eat as soon as I wake up."

Tinari: "All rangers will have breakfast together. I have asked the kitchen to prepare two extra portions. Please follow me."

Breakfast is green onion meat pie with animal milk, which is very special.

After breakfast, Tinari led them to continue their journey westward, explaining some rainforest survival techniques along the way.

It's amazing to fly in the air. This is a wilderness survival expert.

Pai Meng: "What is that?"

Lingkong: "Where is the thing?"

Pai Meng: "I just saw a plant with a human face, how come it suddenly disappeared."

Lingkong: "You must have seen it wrong. How can a plant have a human face? Right, Master Tinari."

Tinari: "It could be some new species that have not been discovered yet. Rainforests are like this, you can find all kinds of plants and animals."

Finally they reached the river. Tinari said, "Let's stop here. To the north along the river is Xumi City, and to the south is Vimalakirti Manor. You can choose where to go."

"Tinari." The man riding the camel greeted.

Tinari: "Boss Balan, where are you going?"

Balan: "I'm going to Xumi City to do some small business. Let's not talk about this for now. Lana is in trouble. You should go and check it out."

Tinari was anxious: "What happened to Lana?"

Balan: "The child from Vimo Village ran to a polluted area. Lana was hit by the abyss energy in order to save the child and has not woken up yet."

Lingkong: "I'll go with you. One more person means more strength."

When Tinari arrived at Vimo Manor, Lana was still lying in bed.

A lot of people had gathered around, all here to see Lana.

Lana's parents burst into tears: "Tinari, please save her."

The child sobbed, "Brother Tinari, save Teacher Lana."

"I'll try my best." Tinari held Lana's hand and used the grass elemental power to purify the abyss. After a while, Tinari said: "It's hard to clear it out."

Lingkong: "Let me try."

He tried several methods, including grass elemental power, Buddha elemental power, and Sacred Heart Sutra. He also tried to use the Northern Ocean Divine Art to suck out the abyss energy, but found that it would suck away Lana's vitality as well, so he gave up.

Lingkong: "It is indeed difficult. The energy of the abyss seems to have penetrated deep into my bones."

At this time, Lana woke up faintly: "Tinari."

Tinari: "Lana, how are you feeling?"

Lana: "I'm fine, I just don't have any strength."

Tinari: "Thanks a lot, you saved him anyway."

Lana's family members expressed their gratitude to Ling Kong one after another. There was a lot of noise and the scene was a bit chaotic.

Child: "Wow, Mr. Lana, I won't run around anymore."

Lana: "Blame the teacher. The teacher didn't think highly of you. Why are you here?"

Tinari: "I met Balan and heard that you were in trouble, so I came here immediately."

"I'm fine, I'm fine now. Was it your friend who saved me?" Lana struggled to get up but failed.

Lingkong: "If you are sick, just stay in bed and rest. Don't rush to get up."

Tinari: "Yes, all you need to do now is to take good care of your body. You don't have to do anything else."

Lana: "But I haven't thanked you as a friend yet."

After they talked for a while, everyone left, leaving Lana to recuperate.

Outside Lana's house, Pai Meng said, "Lana is your girlfriend, right? Tinari."

Tinari: "Yes, we were college classmates. She was a senior of mine. After graduating from college, Lana decided to return to the village to teach. In order not to be too far away from her, I became a forest ranger."

Pai Meng: "Oh yo yo yo."

Lingkong: "You didn't break up after graduation. You two are destined to be together."

Pai Meng: "No wonder Lana looks a little more mature than you."

Lingkong: "When a young boy meets a gentle older sister, he falls for her. I also like older sister type girls, and my girlfriend is older than me."

Tinari: "Let's not talk about this. Have you heard of the legend of the Little Lucky Grass King?"

Lingkong: "Little Auspicious Grass King? Who is he?"

Tinari: "It is said that the Little Auspicious Grass King is the reincarnation of the Great Kindness Tree King. She has been living in seclusion in the rain forest of Xumi to fight against the abyss and secretly help those who are hurt by the abyss. If we can find her, Lana will be saved."

Lingkong: "Your god is reincarnated? It feels hard. Has anyone seen him? What does he look like?"

Tinari: "Kole has seen it, but she doesn't remember what the little Lucky Grass King looked like. She only remembers that it was a girl."
