Chapter 226: Stowaway of Time
Yae Shinko put her feet on the ground, still feeling a little dizzy.

She has not yet recovered from the wonderful experience of flying high in the sky, and her eyes are full of aftertaste.

The other monsters had already left by now, and now only Kitsusaigumi, Lu Shiyuan and her were left in the entire shrine.

"Oh, these guys! They only know how to eat but not how to clean up." Hu Zhaigong looked at the scattered wine jars on the ground and the pile of leftovers on the table and felt overwhelmed.

She rolled her eyes and came up with a plan.

"No, no, I'm really drunk!" She had clearly used her magic to dispel the drunkenness, but suddenly she acted like she was drunk again, holding her forehead with one hand and holding the wall with the other, "I have to go and rest for a while."

Having said that, he slipped away towards his room.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Hu Zhaigong's departing back and felt it was a little funny. Wasn't it just packing up some things? Did he have to lie and run away?
"Brother Shi Yuan, do we have to clean up these dishes?" Yae Shen Zi blinked and asked, pointing at the mess on the ground.

Lu Shiyuan looked at the direction the little girl pointed, coughed lightly, picked up Shen Zi, and said seriously: "Although my brother wants to handle these chores, you are more important. I have to take you back to your room to sleep first."

"I... I'm not sleepy." The Son of God said with bright eyes.

"No, you're sleepy!" Lu Shiyuan said seriously.

After saying this, without listening to the little girl's rebuttal, he picked her up and quickly fled the scene.

Are you kidding? This is a banquet for a hundred people, and he will have to clean up by himself until tomorrow morning.

So are you still going to sleep?
After sending the little girl to her room, Lu Shiyuan returned to his room, washed up quickly, and went to bed.

When I woke up the next day, it was already morning. I changed my clothes and went outside to take a look. I found that the mess from yesterday had been cleaned up and the shrine was open to pilgrims.

However, Lu Shiyuan found that there were a few missing shrine maidens. He walked around casually and finally saw Asase Hibiki, who was working hard to wash dishes with an indignant look on her face, and several shrine maidens doing the same thing in the backyard.

He retracted his head guiltily, slipped into the kitchen to prepare his meal, and looked at the time. It was time to go to Shenlin to practice martial arts.

So, after saying hello to Huzaigong, who looked solemn in front of outsiders, he went to the sacred forest on the mountainside.

The person who was supposed to come to practice martial arts with him today was the Tengu clan leader Midori. Logically speaking, this general with an extremely rigorous style of work should not be late, but today, she was late.

Lu Shiyuan waited for half an hour before the Tengu chief finally flew over with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"I'm late." She admitted her mistake frankly, "Sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Shiyuan waved his hand quickly, "It's no big deal if you want to practice with me. If there's something important, just ask someone to come over and tell me in advance."

"Yes." The Tengu chief did not refuse, but just nodded slightly.

Lu Shiyuan asked with some curiosity: "Sister Miyo, can you tell me what delayed you? And logically, you should have participated in the Hyakumonogatari Conference yesterday."

The Tengu chief was silent for a moment before he said, “Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be said. Recently, the monsters named “Beast Realm Hound” and “Beast Realm Cub” by the General have been appearing more and more frequently.

They are extremely aggressive, with claws and fangs carrying cursed power. They often travel in groups, and ordinary people will definitely not have a good ending if they encounter them.

Therefore, all our armies were ordered to wipe out the monsters. However, these monsters were impossible to kill, and my army even lost several soldiers during the long battle!

That’s why I’ve been so late.”

Lu Shiyuan listened to the story of the Tengu clan leader and frowned deeply. It sounded like Inazuma's situation was in danger. The disaster that swept across the entire continent might come soon. In this disaster, Inazuma would almost be completely destroyed...

Disasters and wars cannot last for just a few days or months. Although they were briefly mentioned in history books, it is obvious that this horrific war that spread across the continent lasted for at least years.

A few years, or even more than ten years is possible. The appearance of miscellaneous soldiers like the Beast Realm Hounds is just a precursor!
This is a protracted battle!

Lu Shiyuan looked at the Tengu tribe leader and said seriously: "Sister Miyo, you don't need to rush over to practice with me next time. You need to rest well and face the enemy in the best mental state."

The Tengu tribe leader was slightly stunned, and then she understood Lu Shiyuan's good intentions. A rare bright smile appeared on her serious face: "I understand.

Well, today is our last battle, let's have a good fight! Let me see how much you have learned during this time."

"Okay!" Lu Shiyuan nodded seriously and took out his spear.

The next moment, the two fought together.

At noon, after a thrilling battle, Lu Shiyuan was sweating all over. He did not rush back to Mingjin Taisha Shrine, but just lay contentedly on the grass, enjoying the sunlight that came through the gaps between branches and petals, warming his body.

When he was left alone, his thoughts could not help but start to wander.

He thought again of the desperate future.

"Disaster is inevitable. What should I do then?" Lu Shiyuan asked himself.

There were only two paths before him.

The first is to use your ability to accelerate time and go directly to the future after the disaster.

Second, stay, fight the disaster and protect your friends!

Choosing the first path undoubtedly meant that he became a coward who would only escape when faced with danger, and he personally abandoned his friends of this era and let them die.

Although, from a rational point of view, he just fled to this era, he is not a person of this era, and the death of Huzaigong and others is something that would happen in history.

But from an emotional point of view, these people were undoubtedly his cherished friends, and he could not just watch them go to their end in history.

Taking the second path would certainly allow him to have a clear conscience, but it was too dangerous and the chances of successfully rescuing his friends were almost slim to non-existent.

"What should I do?" He let out a long sigh.

Although he was still hesitating, Lu Shiyuan had actually already realized it in his heart.

He wanted to stay, even though his power was limited, even though he might give up everything and still not be able to change the situation, but he felt that he should stay.

Just as his heart was slowly becoming firmer, Lu Shiyuan suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and a figure blocked the scarce sunlight.

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about? A stowaway of time!" The figure spoke in a pleasant female voice.

Lu Shiyuan looked at the figure. It was a woman wearing a red robe, with a slim figure, a large witch hat, and light blonde hair.
