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

As he crouched down, his gaze was immediately drawn to the beautiful scenery before him, and he couldn't look away.

To his left were a pair of slender, smooth legs, below which were a pair of fair, delicate feet, as white as the moon and as graceful as orchids. Above, through the red and white skirt, one could vaguely see a glimpse of white underneath.

To his right was also a pair of shapely, slender legs, the only pity being that most of the lower part was covered by pure white stockings, while the upper part was covered by pristine white safety shorts.

He felt a rush of blood to his head, his heart burning with an unbearable heat, as if a fire was raging within him.

With difficulty, he looked away from above and picked up the chopsticks from the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, a soft and slightly cool jade foot suddenly stretched out in front of him and hooked his chin.

Feeling the whiteness and softness of her jade feet, his gaze involuntarily continued upwards, and there he saw... pure white lace.

The scene before him was too stimulating for him; he felt a burning sensation in his nose, and blood began to flow involuntarily.

That damn pink fox!

He quickly removed his chin from the jade-like feet above him, then stood up, covered his nose with his hand, hunched over, and fled the scene in a very disheveled manner.

Yingmei and Paimon stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction he left, puzzled as to what had happened.

Meanwhile, Yae no Miko, the instigator, narrowed her eyes and continued to happily eat the delicious fried tofu.

Chapter 63 Turning Kujo Sara into a Defection

night.

Ueno Chiki tossed and turned on his tatami mat, unable to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, the erotic scene that had unfolded under the dining table during the day would reappear before his eyes.

He felt as if a fire was burning fiercely in his heart, while his little brother stood erect, firmly expressing his thoughts.

He could only keep silently reciting that emptiness is form, and form is emptiness.

However, this approach did not yield ideal results.

That wretched pink fox!

After some time, a light drizzle began to fall outside. The raindrops tapped on the roof, making a crisp sound.

He listened quietly to the sound of the rain, as if at that moment the whole world had become quiet, and the restlessness in his heart slowly dissipated.

A cool breeze entered through the cracks in the house, bringing a slight chill.

He felt the temperature drop and realized he needed to take some action to keep warm.

So, they found two thin blankets.

He gently covered Yingmei and Paimon with a blanket, and felt a sense of satisfaction as he watched them sleep peacefully.

After pulling the covers over himself, he fell into a deep sleep, listening to the rain outside.

........

The following morning, Narukami Taisha Shrine.

After the rain, the fresh air was filled with the fragrance of soil, and the sunlight shone through the clouds onto the earth, reflecting a tranquil and peaceful beauty.

Under the cherry blossom tree, piles of fallen leaves lay scattered on the ground.

"Alright, let's talk here for now. Regarding the plan you asked about earlier, I've actually been pondering it for a long time." Yaegami glanced at Yingmei, Ueno Chiki, and Paimon in front of him. "Do you know what the most important thing is before making a plan?"

"What is it?" Yingmei didn't bother to think about it and asked directly.

"Yes, what is it?" Yae no Miko flicked her head lightly. "I'm asking you, why are you asking me back?"

She turned to look at Chiki Ueno, signaling him to give her the answer.

“It’s about intelligence gathering and analysis,” Ueno Chiki stated his answer clearly.

“That’s right, you’re much smarter than this foolish traveler.” Yae no Miko snapped her fingers and continued, “The issuance of the Eye Hunting Order was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Fools, with the Heavenly Commander and the Imperial Commissioner adding fuel to the fire.”

"So, the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate betrayed General Raiden and colluded with the Fools?" Yingmei looked at Ueno Chiki, who, as the head of the Fools' intelligence agency, should know something about it.

Ueno Chiki nodded. "Yes. These two magistrates have been colluding with the Fools for a long time. Not only was the Eye Hunting Edict promoted by the Fools, but the Seclusion Edict was also promoted by them."

In fact, compared to the Eye Hunting Edict, the National Lockdown Edict caused greater harm to the people of Inazuma. Many Inazuma merchants who were engaged in foreign trade went from rich to poor overnight.

The isolationist policy also forced the people of Haizhi Island to take up arms and form a resistance army. Because Haizhi Island has poor soil and needs to import large quantities of food every year, food shortages occurred after the isolationist policy was implemented. Furthermore, their pillar industries, fishing and tourism, also suffered a severe blow.

"So, the enemies we face this time are the Fools and the two Grand Masters," Paimon said, arms crossed in mid-air.

A slight smile played on Yae no Miko's lips. "I'm preparing to persuade Kujo Sara, the one who governs the Heavenly Territory, to defect this time."

Yingmei paused for a moment, then said, "When we went to the town magistrate's office to rescue Master Zhengsheng, she did not stop us."

Ueno Chiki also shared his opinion: "Kujou Sara is indeed the most suitable candidate. Although she is the most loyal follower of Raiden-sama, she is also very righteous."

She certainly wouldn't have complied with the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order if General Raiden hadn't personally issued them.

Now, if she knew that the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict were issued by the Fools and the two magistrates to deceive General Raiden, she would surely oppose the two magistrates.

Yae no Miko gave him an approving look. “Ueno Chiki, you’re absolutely right. Besides, Kujo Sara is currently commanding the shogunate’s army. If we can win her over, it means that apart from the Okuzume-shu in the castle tower, we won’t encounter any other armed forces in the entire Inazuma Castle.”

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and try to win her over!" Paimon said, sounding impatient.

Yae no Miko chuckled softly, "Little one, no rush. She comes to the shrine to worship at this time every month, and she's our guest today too."

As the saying goes, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.

Kujo Sara appeared behind them, leading two shogunate soldiers.

"Don't move! A wanted criminal dares to swagger into the shrine!" She looked at Yingmei coldly. "Don't even think about doing anything shady. Just come with me to the town magistrate's office jail. Seize her!"

The two shogunate soldiers behind her immediately drew their spears and approached Yingmei.

"Hmph! Kujo Sara, you'd better think carefully about where you are. If you start a fight here, who among you will take the blame for disrespecting the shogun?" Yae no Miko crossed her arms, her expression arrogant.

The two shogunate soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing.

Yae no Miko holds an extraordinary position in Inazuma's heart, second only to Raiden no Shogun.

Others may fear Yae no Miko, but that doesn't mean Kujo Sara will; her will is as hard as steel. Her expression remained cold as she questioned him directly, "Lord Yae no Miko, are you perhaps protecting this wanted criminal?"

Yae no Miko waved her hand, "How could I possibly protect a wanted criminal? Tell your men to leave first; there are some things we need to discuss."

After waving his subordinates away, Kujo Sara asked coldly, "Lord Yae no Kami, what is your purpose in doing this? Don't you know that this person is wanted by order of the Shogun himself?"

"Hehehe, it's the same as always, Lady Kujo Sara. When it comes to loyalty to the Shogun, no one in this world can match you. If there were a ranking, you should be number one."

Kujo Sara ignored the sarcastic tone in Yae no Miko's words and said with a serious expression, "As a warrior, I should uphold loyalty and righteousness. Loyalty to the Shogun is my lifelong pursuit."

Yae no Miko raised an eyebrow. "Even if it's blind loyalty? Even if the General makes a wrong decision, you will still stand firmly by her side."

Kujo Sara remained silent; she knew exactly what Yae no Miko was referring to.

As the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order were implemented, she witnessed countless tragedies and felt more and more that these two orders were wrong, even though they were personally issued by General Thunder.

"You recently experienced a defeated war. Do you recognize who the rebels you faced were? Have you thought about why they fought so desperately against the shogunate?"

She had considered all the issues concerning the Yae no Miko.

Half of the soldiers in the resistance were Inatsuma people who had been persecuted by the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict, and many of them were even her former colleagues and friends!

Chapter 64 The Company's Stance

"Kujo Sara, the Eye Hunting Edict, and the Seclusion Edict were nothing but misleading policies of the foolish masses; they were utterly foolish. And those who deceived the Emperor were the Kujo family, who were in charge of the Heavenly Ranks, and the Hiiragi family, who were in charge of the State Affairs."

Yae no Miko gracefully brushed away the fallen leaves from her body and spoke slowly.

Kujo Sara could hardly believe her ears. "How is this possible? How could the Kujo family betray the Shogun? You know, Lord Kujo Takayuki's admiration for the Raiden Shogun far surpasses that for me."

Ueno Chiki sneered inwardly. Every time he met a woman, he acted with utmost adoration, as if he wanted to treat her like the sun. But in reality, he was the one who wrote the book "Husband's Softness and Incompetence...".

Yae no Miko's face held a hint of sarcasm. "Heh, Kujo Sara, should we say you're sincere, or should we say you're brainless? For a nobleman like Kujo Takayuki, the interests of the family are above all else. The worship he shows is merely to gain the shogun's trust and maintain his power."

"Lord Yae-no-miya, your accusations are quite dangerous, and somewhat ridiculous. I will not believe them." Kujo Sara's expression was resolute.

"Come back here in three days, and I will show you evidence that the Heavenly Commander has betrayed the General."

"Very well, I will come back in three days. If you cannot produce convincing evidence, then I ask that you apologize for making unfounded accusations against the Kujo family. Also, hand over the traveler."

With that, Kujo Sara gave Yingmei a cold look, and then left the shrine with two shogunate soldiers.

After Kujo Sara left, Paimon floated up to Yae no Miko. "You startled me a bit just now. By the way, have you found any evidence of the Heavenly Regency's rebellion that you mentioned earlier?"

Yae no Miko spread her hands and said confidently, "Of course not. I only said that because I couldn't persuade Kujo Sara earlier."

"Huh?" Paimon and Yingmei were astonished by her outrageous actions and were speechless.

"Relax, don't we have Ueno Chiki? He's the head of the Fools' intelligence agency."

Paimon and Yingmei turned to look at Ueno Chiki, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Ueno Chiki wanted to complain, "What are you guys expecting? I haven't been in the Fools' intelligence agency for very long, and the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict have been in effect for almost three years. Where did he get this evidence from?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I can't get my hands on that evidence."

Yae no Miko had anticipated his answer and didn't take it to heart. She said it on purpose, wanting to see his embarrassment. For some reason, she was increasingly enjoying teasing this little guy.

"Ueno Chiki, don't forget, you also have another identity."

He does have other identities: the author of the wildly popular Teyvat novel "Husband's Softness and Incompetence," a spy on Sea Island, and the top priestess of the god Narukami... but none of these can help him obtain evidence!

Yae no Miko smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling, "Ayaka Kamisato's fiancé."

Upon hearing this, Yingmei stared intently at Ueno Chiki.

“Lord Yaehime, I’ve already said this before. This is an engagement arranged by the previous head of the Kamisato family. The Kamisato family can cancel it at any time if they wish.” Ueno Chiki quickly explained after feeling Ying’s burning gaze.

Only then did Yingmei turn her gaze away with satisfaction and loudly declare, "Kamisato Ayaka is mine. Chiki, even if it were you, I wouldn't let go easily."

For a moment, Ueno Chiki almost vomited blood. He thought Ying was jealous, but it turned out she was...

Yae no Miko watched the two's little interaction with great interest, finding it very amusing.

"Both magistrates have betrayed General Raiden, but the Shaka magistrate has not colluded with them. Currently, Ayato Kamisato and the Shaka magistrate are on different sides from us. Therefore, I need Chiki Ueno to help me persuade them. If the persuasion is successful, we can mobilize the Shaka magistrate's secret unit, the Final Chapter, to help us obtain evidence of collusion between the Fools and the Tenryo magistrate."

Ueno Chiki fell into deep thought. He remembered that in the original story, Yae no Miko found Hayaru from the final episode to help her, and even asked Yoomiya to set off fireworks under the Hundred-Eyed Thousand-Armed God statue to attract attention, making it easier for Hayaru to infiltrate.

That's definitely not how it works. The Tenryo Magistrate's Office is heavily guarded, and it's impossible for Hayato to find evidence in a short time by herself.

The idea of ​​using fireworks to attract the guards' attention is utterly absurd. There are shogunate soldiers on duty near the Hundred-Eyed, Thousand-Armed Statue of God. Furthermore, there are only three or four fireworks shops in the entire Inazuma Castle. If an investigation were launched afterward, would the Yoishi Palace be able to escape? Setting off fireworks in front of a shrine is a serious crime!

Therefore, the best way to obtain evidence against the Fools and the Heavenly Order is to have the entire final branch of the Society Order mobilized.
