Chapter 99 Birthday Gift
As the float entered the Grand Bazaar, performances began on the stage of the Zubair Theater.
Since the Flower God’s Birthday Festival is more lively this time, the performances on the stage are no longer just the Flower God’s Dance, but there are many more Sumeru-style art performances.
The most important dance of the flower goddess became the finale of the performance.
As for why it is the finale, it is because after the dance of the flower god, there is a segment where the little grass god goes on stage to give a speech as a conclusion. Only after this segment is the flower god's birthday festival over.
Although Liu Bai arrived at the Grand Bazaar early, he did not rush to find Nashida. Instead, he tried food at various stalls and planned to wait for Nashida to go on stage before going over to present her with a birthday gift in front of everyone to express his feelings.
Among them, Liu Bai also met Seno who was accompanying Tinari and Cole to the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival. He couldn't help but come over and whispered to Liu Bai not to forget the gift he had carefully prepared.
Liu Bai nodded in agreement and continued to wander around the stalls in the Grand Bazaar, looking for new things.
The Great Tree King and Nashida sat on seats specially prepared for the gods, watching the performance on the stage from the best distance and angle.
Just like that, as one wonderful performance after another ended, it was finally time for the Dance of the Flower Goddess.
The clothes on Nilu are actually the "cosplay clothes" of the goddess of flowers. Although it is impossible to restore the beauty of the goddess of flowers with the help of a piece of clothing, Nilu's appearance is inherently beautiful, and at this moment, under the special lighting, she is even more breathtakingly beautiful.
There were stars twinkling in her eyes and her smile was like a spring breeze, warm and moving.
"Sorry for the wait, everyone."
Her voice is as sweet as spring water, which makes people feel happy.
"Let me perform the Flower God Dance for the gods."
As she finished her words, the music slowly started and Nilu began to dance.
Her dance steps are light and graceful, as if every step is telling a beautiful story.
Her arms swayed gently as she danced, like flowers swaying in the wind.
Her body spun and jumped on the stage, as if blending into the music, perfectly displaying the beauty and charm of the goddess of flowers.
The audience was deeply attracted by Nilu's dance, as if they were in a beautiful sea of flowers.
Looking at this scene, there was some nostalgia in the eyes of the Great Compassionate Tree King, and then he gently raised his hand.
The next moment, countless beautiful patisalans grew around the stage, making the stage even more dreamy.
The only pity is that the purple-red Patisalan no longer exists. That was a flower that belonged exclusively to the god of flowers. Today’s Patisalans are all varieties created by the Great Compassionate Tree King himself.
After Patishalan showed up, Nilu, who was still a little nervous, completely relaxed, closed her eyes and immersed herself in her performance.
clap clap.
As a dance came to an end, Nashida was the first to applaud, and the audience followed her lead and applauded.
The Dance of the Flower Goddess slowly came to an end amid applause and cheers, but Nilu's beauty and charm will remain in people's hearts forever.
"Well, the Dance of the Flower God has come to an end, which means today's performance is over. However, according to the instructions of the two Grass Gods, the Little Grass God will take the stage to give a speech next. Please welcome him with applause."
While the audience was still immersed in Nilu's dance, Sheikh Zubair walked onto the stage, coughed lightly and made an announcement.
"Go ahead, don't be nervous."
The Great Compassionate Tree King then turned around and spoke to Nashida.
"Ah."
Nashida nodded slightly and walked towards the stage.
Except for some scholars from the Ministry of Education, everyone present was seeing the Little Auspicious Grass King for the first time today.
"Little Grass God! Little Grass God!"
As Nashida entered the stage, the audience cheered her title.
After learning that the little auspicious grass king was the daughter of the great compassionate tree king, most of the people in Xumi changed their view of her, probably from "their own disappointing child" to "someone else's hard-working child".
The way people call the Little Auspicious Grass King has also changed. Compared to the more formal title of "Grass King" in the Ministry of Education, people gradually call her "Little Grass God" when talking about her to express their love for her.
These days, the nickname "Little Grass God" is almost becoming more common than the honorific title "Little Auspicious Grass King".
"Thank you all for participating in the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival today..."
"Girl! Wait!"
Just when Nashida was about to express her gratitude to the people of Xumi, Liu Bai's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, interrupting her words.
Who is so bold as to interrupt the speech of the gods?
With this thought in mind, the people of Xumi turned their eyes to the source of the sound.
After seeing that it was Liu Bai, some scholars from the Academy of Religious Orders couldn't help but clench their fists.
Next to Liu Bai, Leila stepped aside inconspicuously, as if she didn't know him.
Knowing that Liu Bai was going to give a gift, she couldn't help but put down the thesis she was working on and rush over to attend the Flower Goddess Birthday Festival.
"..."

The pink-haired reporter in the crowd was stunned for a moment, but finally picked up his camera to take a picture.
Facing everyone's gaze, Liu Bai did not feel afraid at all. He held a cake box in his right hand and a gift box in his left hand, and walked towards the stage with a proud look on his face.
"Girl, today is your birthday. How can a birthday be without cake and gifts? I have prepared everything for you~"
When they got to the stage, Liu Bai happily went up to Nashida and explained.
"As for gifts... Actually, today's Flower Goddess Festival is the best gift for me. Everyone is enjoying the singing and dancing performance happily."
Nashida responded with a chuckle.
'Why does this person call me Little Grass God Girl?'
'Why does the little grass god look so familiar with him?'
'Who is this person?'
'Why is the Great Compassionate Tree King just watching?'
The communication on the stage left the audience a little confused, and Nilu, who had just stepped off the stage, couldn't help but stick her head out from the side to watch.
"That won't work. Girl, I've been preparing this for you for a long time. I made it bit by bit myself..."
Seeing that Nashida seemed unwilling to accept the gift, Liu Bai looked at her aggrievedly.
"…If it's not a valuable gift, I'll accept it."
Hearing that Liu Bai did it himself, Nashida finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this scene, Sheikh Zubair in the audience gave an order to the person next to him, and soon two members of the Zubair Theater moved a table onto the stage so that Liu Bai could put down the cake.
Liu Bai put down the cake and handed the gift to Nashida.
"Do you want me to open it... now?"
When Nashida noticed that Liu Bai was looking at her expectantly after handing her the gift, she couldn't help but ask.
"Uh-huh."
Liu Bai nodded quickly.
"Well, let's see what gifts you have prepared~"
Nashida chuckled and nodded, then began to untie the ribbon tied with a bow on the gift box.
Seeing Nashida opening the gift, the audience in the audience stretched their necks, wanting to see what gift this person who was very familiar with the little grass god had given her.
Inside the gift box, there is a handmade wooden sculpture about thirty centimeters high.
Nashida took it out of the gift box and found that it was a statue of Lanaro.
It has a mushroom-like green hat and two leaves on its head. Under the mushroom hat is a little guy with white hair. The ends of the white hair gradually turn into turquoise blue, and pointed ears can be seen on both sides.
"this is me?"
Finding that the Lanaro statue in her hand had some similar features to her own, Nashida asked in surprise.
"Mmmm, girl, you are so beautiful. I can't carve it, so I can only carve it like this. The master said it's not bad, and named it Lanasida."
Liu Bai nodded and answered honestly.
"Um...thank you, I like it very much."
Looking at the "Lan Nashida" in her hand, Nashida nodded happily and held it in her arms.
"As long as you like it!"
"Let's cut the cake quickly. I made the cake myself, so you can trust my craftsmanship!"
Seeing Nashida's happy expression, Liu Bai spoke excitedly, and then was about to open the cake box next to him.
“Oh…?”
Just as Liu Bai was about to open the cake box, a small stone flew from the front and hit him on the head.
Looking ahead in confusion, Liu Bai found Seno being held by Tinari, and he was gesturing something.
"..."
When he saw Seno, Liu Bai remembered that there was another gift that he hadn't given away.
"By the way, girl, I'm worried that the gift isn't pretty, so I prepared another small gift for you. How about you open it and take a look?"
As he spoke, Liu Bai took out another gift box and handed it to Nashida.
"…Don't worry, it's not something valuable."
Thinking of what Seno said, Liu Bai added another sentence.
"Okay, then I'll open it and take a look."
After hearing what Liu Bai said, Nashida temporarily put "Lan Nashida" on the table, and then took the gift box.
After opening the gift box, Nashida found that the gift was covered with a piece of paper.
Nashida picked up the paper and began to read.
"Girl, as the God of Wisdom, the most important thing for you is knowledge..."
Nashida read out the contents on the paper, and it was obvious that it was written by Seno imitating Liu Bai's tone.
"So the gift I want to give you is also knowledge..."
"Books?"
Seeing this, Nashida guessed and looked into the gift box, only to find that there was a cake inside.
On the cake, there are a few words written in cream:
'Cheese, share with you'
“Is this cheesecake?”
When she saw the words on the cake, Nashida already understood what it meant.
Off the stage, Seno crossed his arms and looked a little proud, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
