Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

General Thunder looked at the incoming spear with a contemptuous smile, flicked his finger, and the spear was shattered in mid-air by a lightning blade.

However, to her surprise, after shattering the spear, several blazing fireballs the size of washbasins appeared in the air and attacked her one after another.

Thomas seized the opportunity, grabbed Yingmei on the ground, leaped off the wooden platform, and fled into the distance.

After swatting away all the fireballs, General Thunder's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Add that person from before to the Eye Hunt Order."

"When we meet again, I will strike again."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ueno Chiki, who was hiding in the crowd, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew how the plot was going to unfold, his heart clenched when he saw General Lei Dian raise his sword and approach Ying Mei.

So he secretly used the Evil Eye.

Chapter 49 Turns out to be a little scoundrel

In Inazuma Castle, soldiers from the Heavenly Territory Enforcement Bureau were searching house to house, carrying two portraits. Three days had passed, and the Bureau's search efforts had not only not diminished, but had intensified.

Ueno Chiki's heart tightened; he knew this search operation was definitely related to Yingmei and Thomas. He approached a soldier, glanced down at the portraits, and saw that it was indeed Yingmei and Thomas.

By this time, he realized that if he didn't take action soon, Yingmei and Thomas, who were hiding in his house, would be found sooner or later.

However, the Social Advisors who currently have the ability to transfer are being strictly monitored by the people of the Heavenly Advisors.

In this situation, he had to find another way to solve the problem.

The original story of the game did not explain how Yingmei left Narukami Island, but she automatically appeared in Futashisa at the beginning of the next scene.

Did she swim there?

But reality is different from the game. There are tens of kilometers between Narukami Island and Fumasa, and if you were to swim there, it would take at least three days and three nights.

As he was pondering, he walked to the entrance of the Naganohara fireworks shop, glanced at it, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

Right, how could I forget about Yoomiya? In her character storyline, she easily sent someone away from Narukami Island.

"Xiaogong, are you there?"

He called out a few times at the shop entrance, but no one responded. He assumed that Xiaogong was not in the shop, so he prepared to go back first.

But at that moment, a slow, deliberate footstep sound came from inside the shop, and an elderly man with gray hair walked out.

He was wearing a dark kimono, hunched over, his face was pale, and his steps were slow and heavy, clearly indicating that he was not in good health.

"Qianshu, you've arrived! It's been so long since I've seen you."

Knowing that Yoomiya's father, Naganohara Ryunosuke, was hard of hearing, Ueno Chiki deliberately called out at the top of her lungs, "Uncle Ryunosuke, hello. When is Yoomiya coming back?"

Ryunosuke Naganohara moved closer to him so he could hear clearly, "You said you want to marry Yoomiya? Isn't that a bit too early? Yoomiya only came of age last year. But if you really want to marry her, it's not impossible..."

"I'm asking, when will Yoshimiya be back?" Ueno Chiki shouted with all her might.

"You asked how much dowry Yoshimiya wants? No dowry needed. When the time comes, your child with Yoshimiya will have the surname Naganohara and will inherit our family's ancestral fireworks shop."

Ueno Chiki rubbed his forehead; he was utterly defeated by the cheerful old man before him.

My throat was already a little hoarse, so I gave up on the idea of ​​explaining to Ryunosuke Naganohara any further.

He waved goodbye to Ryunosuke Naganohara and planned to go back first.

But then a surprised voice came from behind, "Brother Qian Shu, what brings you here?"

With a bright smile on her face, Xiaogong walked briskly to him.

Ueno Chiki stared at her smiling face, which was as radiant as a peach blossom, and was momentarily stunned.

His heart was originally like a calm lake, without wind or waves. However, Xiaogong's smile was like a large stone thrown into the lake, breaking that calm and causing deep ripples.

"I've come here to ask for your help."

"Brother Qianshu, just tell me. No matter what it is, I will definitely help you."

"The Heavenly Territory's search is getting stricter and stricter. I estimate that it won't be long before they search my house. Therefore, we need to get Yingmei and Thomas out of Narukami Island as soon as possible."

Xiaogong patted his chest, his face full of confidence. "Brother Qianshu, leave this to me. I just sent someone away from Narukami Island a few days ago."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"It's no big deal, and Yingmei and Thomas are my friends too."

Then, Ueno Chiki thought for a moment, took out a money pouch from her bosom, and said, "Yomiya, you can take this first. I know that sending people out of Narukami requires building a ship. We can't let them help us for nothing."

Yomiya initially intended to refuse outright, but considering that Master Koichi, who had helped him build the ship last time, was struggling financially, he accepted the money pouch.

She was deeply moved, knowing about Ueno Chiki's financial situation.

Even though he himself was living in poverty, he would still give everything he had without hesitation for his friends and loved ones.

Just like how I treated myself back then.

"Yōmiya, Chishu just told me he wants to marry you. I think he's a good person, but I still need to ask for your opinion."

Ryunosuke Naganohara's words instantly turned Yoomiya into a boiling kettle, her face turning bright red and steam rising from her head.

He actually told his father about it directly.

So annoying.

Should I accept it, or should I accept it?

How many children should a couple have after marriage?

There must be at least two, since the Naganohara fireworks shop needs someone to inherit it, and another child will inherit the Ueno surname.

Just as she was beginning to imagine her family of four watching fireworks together.

"Yomiya, I never said that. Uncle Ryunosuke must have misheard me."

Chiki Ueno's words shattered Yoshimiya's illusions.

She calmed down and glared angrily at Ryunosuke Naganohara, blaming him for giving her unrealistic fantasies.

When Ryunosuke Naganohara received a glare from his beloved daughter, he felt extremely wronged. This silly girl, can't she see that he is helping her?

His hearing is impaired, but that doesn't mean he's not mentally sharp.

The old man, with his keen sense of reality, immediately realized that his daughter was in love with Ueno Chiki.

"Yomiya, Uncle Ryunosuke, I'm going back now!"

"goodbye!"

........

Meanwhile, at Chiki Ueno's house, a "battle" was taking place.

Thomas looked at Yingmei across from him with a serious expression, and suddenly slapped his hand.

"airplane!"

"I'll blow it up! Four twos!"

Thomas chuckled. "Traveler, you think you're so great at fighting? But what good is being good at fighting anyway!"

"To survive in this world, you need influence." He revealed a card with a picture of a young master.

"There needs to be a background." Another card with an image of skirmishers was revealed.

"A four!"

Opposite him, Yingmei looked frustrated and distressed as she stared at the only card she had left in her hand.

He smiled and turned over the cards in Yingmei's hand.

"Oh, so he's just a nobody!!!"

Chapter 50 Parting

"You guys are really something! All you do all day is play cards."

Pushing open the door, Ueno Chiki looked at the three people engrossed in playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), feeling both annoyed and frustrated.

He was constantly worried about their safety, but the three of them just played cards all day without a care in the world.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful for teaching them how to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

"Qianshu, we're bored anyway, why don't we play cards?" Yingmei said, hands on her hips, looking completely at ease.

“Yeah, we can’t go out now, what else can we do besides play cards?” Paimon chimed in.

"Brother, sister, do you know that the Heavenly Enforcement Bureau is searching house to house outside? They might find us here soon. If you don't want to go inside and pick up the soap, you two should leave as soon as possible."

Upon learning of the extensive search being conducted by the Heavenly Commander, Thomas became uneasy.

"Ueno Chiki, why don't you contact Ms. Kamisato Ayaka? She should be able to find a way to get us out of here."

Ueno Chiki shook her head. "Because of your identity, the entire company is under strict surveillance. If I go to see her now, I will be immediately targeted."

"So what should we do now?" Paimon asked, a look of worry on his face.

“I’ve already asked Xiaogong for help. She’s going to have a small boat built, and you can take the boat to Tasha.”

Yingmei nodded. "Alright, I also want to go see the resistance. Perhaps we can find the power to fight General Thunder there. Also, Qianshu, why don't you come with us?"

Ueno Chiki refused her suggestion, saying, "Traveler, my combat strength is weak right now. Being with you will only slow you down. Besides, I can only help you better if I'm here."

Yingmei looked at his handsome face and wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

The journey may be fraught with danger and hardship, but she has the ability to handle everything, while he does not.

“Traveler, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t go with you to the resistance. The magistrate has a lot of things for me to handle.” Thomas scratched the back of his head, feeling somewhat apologetic, after all, the traveler was wanted by the magistrate for saving him.

Yingmei didn't seem to care much. "It's alright. Paimon is enough for me."

"I will never be separated from the traveler; we are the best of partners," Paimon said proudly, arms crossed.

"Thoma, Paimon, let's continue playing cards." After Yingmei called the two back to their seats, she instructed Ueno Chiki, "Chiki, I want braised pork for lunch."

The tone of her voice clearly indicated that a husband who was out working hard was instructing his wife.
