Chapter 244 Her World
As the first rays of sunlight leaped out in the sky with soft golden light, the tranquil night, along with the moon and stars, slowly faded away. The long and peaceful night had finally come to an end.
As the dream gradually fades, the dim night is replaced by the morning star, and a new day quietly begins.
In the Grand Bazaar, the shouts of vendors clamored incessantly, adding a touch of lively atmosphere to the morning.
"Ancient recipe coconut charcoal cakes, a high-quality breakfast that even the highest judge of Fontainebleau has praised. Take a look!"
"Fresh Dun Dun peaches, 5,000 mora per pound, money back guarantee if they're not sweet! What? Guaranteed ripeness? Look at you, a seasoned bazaar merchant like me, would I sell you unripe fruit?"
"Date and honey, date and honey, brand new!"
"You won't lose out with 3,000 Mora, you won't be cheated with 3,000 Mora, you can't buy anything with 3,000 Mora!"
Scattered noises echoed in every corner of Sumeru. For the residents of Sumeru City, waking up to such familiar noises had become a daily routine.
Of course, even the tranquil and peaceful place atop the sacred tree of Mount Sumeru, Jingshan Palace, is no exception.
Mu Feng slowly woke up amidst the faint sounds of bustling voices, threw back the covers, and looked around with a slightly bewildered expression.
The familiar furnishings, the light green decorations, and the lush plants winding around the stone pillars create an ethereal yet vibrant atmosphere.
The faint light shone through the colorful window frames and fell on the ground, splashing up patches of light that flickered between bright and dim.
This place is... Jingshan Palace? How did I get here... Right, it's Naxi Da... Naxi Da, where is she?
His dizzy mind cleared up in an instant, and alarm bells rang in Mu Feng's mind as he remembered the purpose of his trip.
Nasita's consciousness is trapped, and she is in a deep sleep. The location she is in now is probably her consciousness space.
He shook his head, trying to look around, but when he turned around, he met a pair of beautiful light green four-leaf clover eyes.
"Amu...? Good morning, my sage, you're up unexpectedly early today."
The tiny deity peeked out from under the covers, clearly awakened by the commotion.
Nasida also threw off the quilt, rubbing her sleepy eyes while habitually reaching up to tie up her messy white hair.
With a hair ornament in her mouth, her speech was a little muffled, and she could only mischievously blink her beautiful four-leaf clover eyes.
"If this were any other time, they'd probably still be spouting some twisted logic about life being about stillness and refusing to work..."
Naxida's tone was very ordinary, with a hint of coquetry and resentment, but Mu Feng was stunned at this moment.
How could this be? Nasita... has lost her memory?
Her tone was so ordinary, like the usual morning greetings they exchanged in a mock morning.
But the problem lies in this seemingly ordinary matter.
Having been away for seven years, even after a long separation, this shouldn't be the reaction.
Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong here.
Mu Feng's mind raced, but Nasita, being the goddess of wisdom, quickly noticed his unusual behavior.
"Amu... what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Worry appeared on Naxida's fair face. She leaned forward and gently placed her soft little hand on Mufeng's forehead.
My temperature is normal, and I don't have a fever... What could be wrong?
The little deity's movements were gentle, and his expression was full of concern, but Mu Feng vaguely sensed a trace of unease.
It was as if the air was filled with sharp ice crystals, seemingly there yet exuding extreme danger.
Just before he was about to leave, the warnings from the system and the Great Compassion Tree King suddenly echoed in his mind, and he immediately became vigilant.
"The target's consciousness has reached the peak of the Demon God level. If an unforeseen mistake occurs, it might..."
"Little Nasita's mental state is very unstable, and her consciousness has abnormally fallen into a state of stagnation. Everything is unknown."
"For your safety, if possible, please do not use any drastic measures to wake her..."
Such a seemingly warm morning is, in fact, far from being as simple and ordinary as it appears.
Moreover, this is Nasita's consciousness space; the slightest carelessness could lead to unpredictable consequences.
He didn't want to see either Nasita trapped here for a long time or her consciousness being traumatized.
In a flash, Mu Feng made a decision: given the current situation, it was best to remain silent and act cautiously.
"Ah... I'm sorry, Nasita, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare last night and was a little distracted just now."
He yawned as if he were sleepy, rubbed his non-existent dark circles, and stretched as if he were tired.
This was a lie. Mu Feng secretly observed Naxida's reaction out of the corner of his eye, and his palms involuntarily became sweaty.
"I see... Then Amu should get some rest. Let's reschedule our outing for another day..."
Nasita blinked, the worry on her little face lessening somewhat, but a hint of disappointment still showing in her expression.
She lowered her gaze slightly in disappointment, her little mouth pouting slightly, and her obedient tone made people feel a little sorry for her.
It was planned for a long time, but it seems like it'll be canceled if Amu isn't feeling well...
Mu Feng's heart softened instantly, but at the same time, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he had some other ideas.
To gently awaken Narcida, the first step is to understand the consciousness space she has constructed.
Given his current lack of knowledge about the area, traveling with Nasita is indeed a good excuse.
It is both inconspicuous and efficient in acquiring information, without arousing too much suspicion from Nasita.
Mu Feng patted Naxi Da's little head, trying his best not to let her sense the strangeness in his expression and tone.
"It's alright, Nasita, I'll be fine after a short rest. As for the trip, let's stick to the original plan."
Naxi tilted her head, still somewhat hesitant. Was Amu's body... really alright?
Seemingly sensing Nasita's doubts, Mu Feng smiled and nodded, but a hint of guilt welled up in his heart.
Nasita remains the same as before... whether in reality or within this space of consciousness.
Despite being the god of wisdom, he refused to doubt even such a clumsy lie, and instead lived in fear because of it.
Upon receiving the promise, a lovely smile immediately bloomed on the little deity's face. Like a nimble bird, it flew into Mu Feng's arms, just like a child who had received a beloved toy.
The girl gently buried her face in his chest, her voice soft, filled with longing and a touch of sweet joy.
"Then it's settled, my sage, we're going to visit the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival together today... um, on the eve of it!"
