Chapter 88 Proposal
"At that time, I had already overdrawn all my strength, but I knew that even if I died, as long as my existence was still remembered in people's minds, the forbidden knowledge would never be eliminated."
Having said that, the Great Compassion Tree King turned around and looked at the World Tree behind him. Liu Bai and Nashida couldn't help but follow her gaze.
This magnificent giant tree now appears to be withering and dying.
"But I cannot clear my own existence. The correction ability of the World Tree will create a paradox."
"Besides, I had already exhausted all my strength at that time, and I was only one breath away from death..."
The Great Compassionate Tree King looked in the direction of the World Tree and explained.
After a while, the Great Compassion Tree King turned around and looked at Nashida and Liu Bai again.
"So, I broke off the purest branch from the World Tree that had not yet been polluted, as my reincarnation and a clue."
"I am waiting for the day in the future when she can become a qualified god and come here to completely erase my existence from the World Tree."
The Great Compassionate Tree King spoke gently to Nashida.
"Wait, wait? No... no... this is not right!"
Nashida's ears drooped suddenly, and she stroked her chest nervously with one hand and shook her head. She could not accept the method that the Great Compassionate Tree King said.
"You are really smart. Just as you guessed, the World Tree records all the memories of Teyvat. Once my existence is erased, no one in the world will remember me anymore, and it will be as if everything about me never existed."
"But this is the only way."
Looking at Nashida's reaction, the Great Compassion Tree King walked forward and wanted to help Nashida wipe away the tears from her face.
But her movements were a little slow. Liu Bai had already squatted beside Nashida, holding a handkerchief that came from nowhere and gently wiping Nashida's cheek.
"But everyone loves you so much, and misses you so much... This, this is too cruel..."
Nashida placed her hands on her chest, her eyes filled with sadness as she looked at the Great Compassionate Tree King.
"Besides...I don't want to forget you just like that..."
"..."
Liu Bai, who was wiping Nashida's tears, paused, as if he remembered something.
"Don't be so sad, Boyer. As a wise man, you should be happy to have found the answer."
"The complete content of the sentence you came here to interpret is..."
"Let the world completely forget me."
The Great Compassion Tree King spoke gently. She knew that Nashida couldn't bring herself to do it, so she took the initiative to move forward and hug her.
"……Um?"
When Liu Bai came to his senses, he found that the two people were hugging each other.
What's wrong? Which one is my girl?
The two looked the same, and Liu Bai scratched his head and couldn't tell them apart for a moment.
Forget it...
Looking at the warm scene of them hugging each other, Liu Bai simply moved closer, stretched out his arms and hugged the two girls in his arms.
Being suddenly hugged, the two girls raised their heads in unison. Compared to Nashida's slightly blushing face, the reaction of the Great Mercy Tree King was more of surprise.
"Right, right... You must have a way, right?"
Being held in Liu Bai's arms, Nashida suddenly remembered Liu Bai's incredible abilities, and hurriedly looked at him pleadingly.
"Buyer, don't embarrass your friends."
The Great Compassionate Tree King continued to hold Nashida, enjoying the last moments he could spend with her.
Even though she has made up her mind, it does not mean that she no longer has attachment to everything in the world. Nashida is like her child, so she is the person she cares about the most.
Hearing Nashida's request, Liu Bai subconsciously wondered if he had any way to solve it.
But he didn't even know what forbidden knowledge was, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
[The host sensed Nashida's request, and naturally could not violate the existing agreement, so it decided...]
[A: Ask the Great Mercy Tree King to drink the Sleepy Tea, and have Nashida remove the Great Mercy Tree King from the World Tree during this period. This option will cause everyone in Teyvat to forget the Great Mercy Tree King, but it will allow her to survive. Reward: Random item.]
[B: Propose marriage to the Great Compassion Tree King, thus becoming a relative, unlocking the usage restrictions of the "Resurrection Coin" item to revive the Great Compassion Tree King, reward: random betrothal gift.]
[C: Use the "Coin of Destiny" on the World Tree, but there is a 50% chance that the World Tree will die immediately. Reward: Random item.]
[D: Obliterate, reward for "giving up the choice."]
[Give up the choice: After using this item, you can unconditionally give up a system option that has not been settled and obtain the random reward within the option.]
Just when Liu Bai was thinking about how to respond to Nashida, the system popped up at the right time.
Perhaps the system thought that Liu Bai would not be able to come up with a solution himself, so the options provided several very clear solutions.
"Yes, I have a solution!"
Liu Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the system prompt, and he quickly spoke to the two Nashidas in his arms.
"...!"
Nashida originally saw that Liu Bai was silent and thought he had no way out. She raised her hands helplessly and wanted to hug the Great Compassion Tree King, but Liu Bai's voice suddenly gave her hope.
The Great Compassion Tree King also looked up at Liu Bai, somewhat hesitant to believe that the other party would have a solution.
"Girls...can you guys separate for a moment? I can't recognize who is who."
Looking at the two girls looking at him, Liu Bai really couldn't tell them apart, so he had to make a suggestion to them.
Nashida immediately withdrew her hand, separated from the Great Tree King, grabbed one of Liu Bai's hands and stood beside him, raising her head and looking at Liu Bai eagerly.
"Good girl, leave this to me."
Liu Bai gently touched Nashida's head, then looked at the Great Kindness Tree King who was standing opposite them with a gentle smile on his face.
"For the sake of the girl... I had no choice but to make a choice."
Liu Bai thought firmly in his heart, and then straightened his clothes.
"Mother-in-law, please marry me!"
Liu Bai spoke to the Great Compassionate Tree King with a serious face.
"...?"
The looks of Nashida and the Great Tree King suddenly became a little strange, with confusion, astonishment and dullness.
"Didi, host, you...may have misunderstood..."
"The option is for you to propose to the Great Mercy Tree King, not to propose marriage... and the marriage is with Nashida..."
Even the system was a little confused for a moment.
"...Ahem, sorry, I was a little excited and said the wrong thing."
Hearing the system's reminder, Liu Bai immediately coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"I want to say, my dear mother-in-law, please marry Nashida to me!"
After coughing awkwardly, Liu Bai straightened his collar and spoke to the Great Compassionate Tree King again with a serious face.
"Eh?!"
Hearing this, Nashida's little face suddenly turned red.
"W-What are you doing? Why are you saying this at a time like this... I hate it so much..."
Nashida's face flushed red, and she unconsciously grabbed Liu Bai's arm tightly with her hands, and spoke in a very weak voice.
Seeing Nashida's shy look, the smile on the face of the Great Compassion Tree King grew wider, and then he opened his lips slightly and spoke softly...
