I'm sure Hai is no benevolent person either!
Coral Palace Heart Sea retorted, "I've heard that Narukami Shrine has a secret delicacy called Linglong Fried Tofu, which is exceptionally delicious. Even fox spirits are attracted by its aroma. Since Yae Palace Tsukasa wants to ask the shopkeeper for help, why can't we bring out this rare delicacy?"
"The shopkeeper previously told me that he was interested in all sorts of strange creatures on the Teyvat continent. I heard that Narukami Shrine keeps a pink fox. How about I give it to the shopkeeper as part of the reward?"
Linglong Youdoufu is Yae Shinko's pen name. As for the pink-haired fox, isn't it right in front of us?
"You can't say that; it also depends on their willingness."
Yae no Miko's eyes flickered. "You see, the shopkeeper really likes caviar."
"It's alright, I have a good appetite, I can eat anything."
Luo Zhen said casually, "My house is big enough that I can keep any pets I want."
This is really... According to Lingyi, it seems to be (five) (nine?〧)? silk? (nine) has a straightforward personality.
Yae no Miko has already tested Luo Zhen's personality. If he teases others as he usually does, he might end up getting himself into trouble, which makes her somewhat hesitant.
She glanced at Yae Sakura standing to the side; they looked very similar. As someone who frequently read light novels, she knew very well that twins were always a plus.
So she turned to serving the dishes:
"Inazuma's cuisine has more than just these two dishes. Since the manager has such a big appetite, you should try more of them."
Of course, she couldn't just prepare one dish; the caviar earlier was just a test. Soon, the table was filled with Inazuma's various delicacies.
"Taste this."
Luo Zhen picked up a tricolor dumpling and held it to Yae Sakura's lips. In front of everyone, Yae Sakura blushed and bit into the dumpling. She was too embarrassed to let Luo Zhen feed her, so she knelt down next to him and carefully served him food, just like a virtuous wife.
Coral Palace Heart Sea glanced smugly at Yae no Miko, "See? She likes your type. Don't even think about giving me away. You'd better pay off your debts with yourself!"
Yae no Miko pretended not to see it and watched the battle between Raiden Mei and Raiden Mei through the spatial rift opened by Ryoujin.
Two figures wreathed in lightning clashed repeatedly in the clouds, each collision unleashing countless electric snakes. Raiden and Raiden Mei were both wielders of lightning and bore a striking resemblance. The battle was intense, their speed so great that even their afterimages were blurred.
To think they could fight to this extent, Yae no Miko hadn't expected the people Luo Zhen brought to be so strong. If that's the case, she really could replace Rai and become Inazuma's new ruler.
Yae no Miko was already wondering to herself, if she didn't know that Raiden Mei came from outer space, she would be wondering if she was a member of the same race as Raiden Mei.
She knew that Inazuma was once the ruler of the Twin Demon Gods, one in charge of the mind and also able to cook, Raiden Shin, and the other in charge of the strength and unable to cook, Raiden Dian. Unfortunately, Raiden Shin died in the Battle of Kanria five hundred years ago.
It wouldn't be surprising if a new Thunder Demon God were to emerge.
Heavy footsteps sounded as Kujo Sara approached, carrying a stack of secret letters. These were letters she had found in her father's study and in the study of Hiiragi Shinsuke, the commander of the Kansei Bureau, detailing their collusion with the Fools and their betrayal of Inazuma's interests.
"The Kamisato family, which is affiliated with the shrine, did not participate in this incident."
Kujo Sara looked at the secret letter in her hand and felt extremely pained thinking about her adoptive father's betrayal of General Raiden.
"The seclusion edict and the eye-hunting edict were indeed a conspiracy by the Fools. Father and the others betrayed the Shogun. Why? Are the Kamisato family more loyal than us?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Luo Zhen comforted her, "In my opinion, if we're talking about loyalty, in the entire Inazuma family, only you and Yae no Miko are truly loyal. It's hard to say about the others. The Kamisato family just doesn't have the resources to back it up."
“Your father certainly wasn’t born intending to betray the general. Before he became the head of the family, he probably didn’t even have this thought. People’s thoughts change with their circumstances.”
Having been recognized as a loyal subject by Luo Zhen, Kujo Sara felt much better. She looked at Yae no Miko sitting there and noticed the lightning flashing in the air.
That's General Thunder!
Kujo Sara saw two demon gods wielding thunder through the spatial rift!
She glanced at Yae no Miko, who sat there calmly, and then, thinking about what Luo Zhen had done and what he had just said, she realized that this person was probably not an enemy.
From above, it was clear that Raiden Mei had extremely limited combat experience and her martial arts skills were appalling, but her control over lightning was actually superior to hers.
In Raiden Mei's hands, lightning displayed a completely different form from her own, not only in its diverse forms but also in its far greater destructive power. Through the development of her powers, she was able to withstand Raiden Mei's superb martial arts skills.
She began to try to imitate Raiden Mei's use of lightning powers, while Raiden Mei was also imitating the fighting style in Raiden movies that combined martial arts with lightning. Both of them gained a lot.
Once they got into the rhythm, the two felt that the battle was exhilarating and they had benefited greatly from it. They fought until they were physically and mentally exhausted before stopping, and were then transferred back to the castle tower by Luo Zhen.
Upon seeing Luo Zhen, Lei Yingdian grabbed his hand:
"Can you really resurrect my sister? What price do I have to pay?"
She didn't hesitate at all; as long as Luo Zhen brought Raiden back, she would agree to anything.
[Request: Raiden Movie Likes You to Revive Her Sister Raiden Shin]
[Reward for Commission: 15,000 Commission Crystals]
The difficulty wasn't too high. Luo Zhen subconsciously looked at Raiden's chest. He had a lot of experience in saving people, as could be seen from the reward for the mission. Raiden was not completely dead yet.
Luo Zhen also knew that the dream he pulled out from the classic milk-fragrant knife in the movie Raiden's movie contained the remnant soul of Raiden.
But is that remnant soul really enough to revive? Luo Zhen thought it was doubtful. The strength of [Spirit Reconstruction] wasn't high enough; it was still a bit lacking in repairing the remnant soul.
However, he immediately thought of another ability: time reversal.
There's no need to go back to the past. If it were like healing, could we really return the remnant soul of Raiden to its original state?
Luo Zhen thought it was worth a try; if all else failed, they could just go back to the past.
Perhaps because Luo Zhen was lost in thought and his gaze hadn't left his chest, Lei Yingdian misunderstood Luo Zhen's meaning. Seeing him staring at his chest, she grabbed his hand and pressed it against his chest.
"I will pay whatever the cost!"
Kujo Sara was stunned by what she saw. The noble, sacred, and unapproachable shogun was actually taking a man's hand and placing it on his chest?!
She felt like her worldview was about to collapse.
Even Yae no Miko, who had been with Lei for five hundred years and spent most of her time watching her go to jail, couldn't hold back anymore.
Shadow, be a little more reserved!
Raiden Mei felt a weight on her head, as if a heavy hat had been put on her. Looking at Raiden's face, which was remarkably similar to hers, and then at the hand that was pressed into her softness, she felt a very strange sensation. Even the Minotaur in front of her couldn't describe this feeling, and her smile became forced.
Luo Zhen didn't expect Lei Dianying to pull this stunt, but the feel in his palm was indeed quite nice. However, with so many people around, he was too embarrassed to make any further moves, so he tightened his grip and, using his spatial abilities, grasped the Dream Heart.
A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the scene as Luo Zhen gripped the hilt of his sword, drew the long blade, and unleashed a replica of the classic Milk Fragrance One-Slash technique!
"Perhaps you don't feel it."
As if nothing had happened, he held fast to his dream and said to the tense Lei, "The remnant soul of your sister is hidden here."
Not only the remnant soul, but also the seed of the Divine Cherry Tree. When Raiden understands Raiden's true philosophy, the seed of the Divine Cherry Tree in his heart will sprout and grow, returning to five hundred years ago in the form of the Divine Cherry Tree.
Luo Zhen grabbed the remnant soul of Lei Dianzhen.
I apologize to [Spirit Reconstruction]. Although it cannot restore the remnant soul, the passive effect of this skill not only allows Luo Zhen to easily access souls, but also allows him to freely grab remnant souls that have no ability to resist.
"elder sister……"
It wasn't until Lei Dian's soul was truly extracted that Lei Dianying sensed the familiar aura, cautiously approaching to look at the flickering light.
"I never expected to meet you again under these circumstances."
Raiden said softly, "Long time no see, Shadow."
She had something else to say, but Luo Zhen's actions interrupted her.
Time reversed!
He kept retracing the state of the remnant soul of lightning, trying to bring it back to a time when it was perfectly intact.
"what?"
As the true soul of lightning continued to recover, a voice appeared in their ears.
"Outsider, do you also possess the power of time?"
The word "also" already reveals the identity of the person who spoke.
Luo Zhen raised an eyebrow: "The Ruler of Time, Istaru?"
She herself was paying attention to Raiden Shin. The fact that the Divine Cherry Tree returned to 500 years ago was due to her power. It's just unknown whether the power that Raiden Shin and the General fought in the Pure Land of One Heart, where hundreds of years passed in an instant, also came from her.
"Knowing my name, they must be no ordinary outsider. We'll have to strike hard... Just kidding."
Istaru showed no intention of revealing herself, and said in a relaxed tone, "You have many secrets. I wonder what changes they will bring to Teyvat?"
"I will always be watching over you."
Byd, you'll keep spying on me, right? So if I throw a party, will you watch it from beginning to end too? Why don't you join in?
After Rōjin muttered a few words to himself, Ishtar remained silent, allowing Rōjin to completely revive Raiden.
[Commission complete, you have received 15,000 Commission Crystals]
Although a body hasn't been prepared for Raiden Shin yet, the system has determined that Raiden Shin's request is complete because Raiden Shin doesn't need a body at all and can share a body with Raiden Shin.
Lei's movies are usually imprisoned in the Pure Land of One Heart in spirit form. The fact that outsiders can enter the Pure Land of One Heart shows that it is a space that can accommodate both the body and the soul, and it is very useful.
"Am I resurrected?"
When Raiden was stuffed into the Pure Land of One Heart, he still couldn't believe it. The seed of the Divine Cherry Tree had been activated, returning to the past and completing the closed loop.
Lei Dianying handed over control of his body to General Lei Dian, and he and his sister were in the Pure Land of Hearts, so they must have a lot to talk about.
Having witnessed Raiden's resurrection firsthand, Yae no longer doubted Luo Zhen's abilities, and her tone was unusually hesitant:
"Shopkeeper, I also have an old friend who needs to be resurrected. I wonder what price I'll have to pay? Also, I don't have their remnant souls..."
[Request: Yae no Miko wishes to revive Kitsune-no-Miya]
[Reward for Commission: 15,000 Commission Crystals]
Luo Zhen said, "The lingering regret of Fox Palace is now known as Hana Sanri. Use this as a clue to find him."
"As for the reward, we'll talk about that later. Let's get the person back first."
Seeing the generous amount of crystals he had been commissioned, Luo Zhen was very satisfied.
Yae no Miko immediately set off, while Luo Zhen, along with Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura, continued to tour the scenery of Inazuma. During the tour, they received a message that the Heart Sea Request had been completed. It was unclear whether Raiden Mei had come online to handle it; she was essentially the external brain of the Raiden movie.
After Yae no Miko found Hana Sanri, Rōzō followed the same method and restored her soul to the form of Kitsai-gū, making her whole again. However, without a body, she was also squeezed into the Pure Land of One Heart.
The two sisters didn't care about that at all; on the contrary, they were very happy. Yae no Miko and Raiden Shin weren't actually that familiar with each other. Kitsui-gumi was her former chief priest who raised Yae no Miko and had a very deep relationship with the Raiden sisters.
That night, Luo Zhen leisurely soaked in the hot spring, which is a specialty of Inazuma and not to be missed.
The cherry blossom branches droop low, enveloping the hot spring in a crimson dome, with occasional late-falling cherry petals drifting into the pool.
This is a truly beautiful sight; it would be even more perfect if a beautiful woman could accompany him while he soaks in the hot spring.
