"Yes, yes, it's my fault."

Su Chen discovered that you really can't reason with women, especially women in love; the best thing to do is to obediently admit your mistakes.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen noticed a figure sitting on the other side of the corridor across the courtyard opposite the room—Hu Zhaigong was kneeling on a cushion, leisurely taking a sip of tea, looking completely at ease.

"Oh dear~ Spring has arrived, all things are reviving, and it's the season for animals to reproduce."

Su Chen's lips twitched slightly. What kind of indecent words are you spouting?

These women, each one a goddess in appearance, revered and inviolable in the eyes of their people, are all the same in private!

"Zhaigong, how long have you been there?"

"Hmm... well," Fox Palace said playfully, "I just wandered around outside for a bit and came back, only to find Shadow here. But don't worry, she didn't see me. Her attention was probably all in the room, just like yours was all..."

"Stop!" Raiden Shin angrily said, "Saigu, if you say that again, I'll punish you by making you guard Narukami Shrine for a hundred years, and you can't even take a single step outside!"

Fox Palace's expression fell: "Seriously, it was you who angered Shadow, so don't blame me."

You made a mistake, so why punish me?

“But I have a solution,” she chuckled. “It will solve the problem, and from now on, you won’t have to secretly make babies with Cardodia anymore.”

real:"..."

What do you mean by "creating a villain"? Zhaigong, you're supposed to be Bai Chen Immortal Fox, can't you at least... speak a little more elegantly?

but.

Yae no Miko's personality was influenced by Kitsune-no-miya; thinking about it, the two are actually quite similar—both love playing pranks. What can be done about it? She's probably plotting something mischievous again...

"What method?" Zhen asked.

Forget it, let’s treat a dead horse as a live doctor.

Fox Palace smiled and said, "That's easy. Just let Cardodia try a little harder, and it'll be fine."

"effort?"

"For example... next time you listen outside, let the shadow be inside."

Su Chen, Zhen: "..."

...

at the same time.

The scene of the knife offering ceremony.

As Ying walked onto the arena, the final round of the sword-fighting competition was about to begin. Yae no Miko glanced at the still empty shell of the Thunder General and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Strange, why hasn't Ying returned yet?"

...

An hour later, the Divine Sword Offering was successfully completed!

"Sigh~ Is it over already?"

"I never expected that the final winner would be the swordsmith from the Isshin Sect."

"Although Isshinden was once very glorious, it has declined in its current state. The Kaedehara family, the main family of Isshinden, is almost gone. That Kaedehara Manyo is also amazing, he actually managed to get the Traveler to help him."

"I heard that Maple Leaf spent 100,000 Mora to invite the traveler."

"One hundred thousand? How is that possible? I heard that the Traveler can bravely fight against the Demon God. With such strength, even ten million Mora would be difficult. Did you see Miss Kamisato? The Kaede family used to work for the Kamisato family. This time, it's most likely that Miss Kamisato made the move. It'll be at least ten million!"

"Makes sense."

"Hehe~ Tomorrow is also the main event. The Shogun will lead the Shogunate on a tour and bestow names upon the divine swords... I'm really looking forward to it."

"Have you noticed that the General didn't say a word the whole time? Even the one who announced the winner at the end was the Chief Justice."

"Nonsense! What kind of being is the General? His mere presence is already a great blessing to the festival."

The lively crowd, chatting about the amusing incident of offering the sword, left Narukami Taisha under the arrangement of the Tenryo Magistrate.

After almost all the citizens had left, Kujo Sara walked onto the stage from the crowd, bowed, and asked, "Shogun, are you going back to the castle tower or will you stay at Narukami Shrine?"

The general did not react.

Kujo Sara raised her head slightly, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Stop shouting, your general is asleep," Yae no Miko said irritably.

"Fell asleep?"

Kujo Sara was taken aback. At first, she thought it was impossible, but seeing that the general, although his eyes were open, did not react to her presence at all, the girl was very confused. He was clearly here, with his eyes open, but he was asleep? This was the Sword Offering Festival.

"Son of God~"

Paimon waved to Yae on the platform.

Ayaka Kamisato led them over.

"Oh my gosh~ the little cuties are here." Yae no Miko's expression immediately changed, and she said with a smile, "You did very well today. Congratulations on winning the Sword Offering Festival."

Paimon crossed his arms: "Even though I'm the champion, there's no prize. At least treat me to dinner, hmph~"

"That's easy. You guys stay at Narukami Shrine tonight, and I'll have someone arrange everything... Besides, there are many benefits to being the champion. You can eat for free in Inazuma without anyone saying a word."

Paimon's eyes lit up: "Really!?"

Ying pouted: "Paimon, you're so stupid, you actually believe that kind of thing."

"what?"

"Hehe~ Maybe." The divine child turned his gaze to Wan Ye behind the crowd. "I didn't expect that the Isshinden lineage could still leave behind such a legacy. It's a pity. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you don't intend to inherit the family business either."

Wan Ye calmly said, "My ambition is to travel the world. Once the sword-offering ceremony is over, it's time for me to leave."

"Is it the little cutie too?"

Ying nodded: "Beidou's ship is on the outlying island. They'll go to Liyue after the Sword Offering Ceremony, and I'll go with them." She then looked around, "Where's Su Chen?"

We were together when we came before, saying we'd just wander around, but how come we've all disappeared now?

and also.

What is the general doing?

"Oh my god, he's back?"

Yae no Miko was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized why Kage hadn't returned for so long.

"Damn it, he actually left her alone and went to be all lovey-dovey with Lord Cardodia..." Yae no Miko glanced at the dazed general with annoyance, her angry expression leaving Ying completely bewildered.

what happened again?

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind me.

"Ah, everyone's here. What a pity, the competition is over." Su Chen walked up to the platform and glanced around.

"That's right, the competition is over, where did you go?" Paimon said, hands on his hips. "The Traveler did such a good job just now, how come you didn't see it?"

Su Chen curled his lips, thinking to himself, "Paimon, you'll still have to call me master when you grow up. How dare you talk to me like that? You've gone too far!"

"Cut... Su Chen, what's going on?" A hint of joy appeared in Yae no Miko's eyes, but he quickly gestured to Su Chen towards the dumbfounded corpse of the general beside him. This can't go on like this; how can a general sit here in a daze?

Didn't you see that Kujo Sara was almost completely bewildered?

"Oh right, now's not the time to talk about this..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Chen walked up to Ying's body, picked her up in a princess carry, and then walked back in the direction they had come from.

"???"

Question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Kujo Sara, the loyal general's bodyguard, hurriedly said, "Lord Su Chen, what are you doing..."

He just grabbed the general and left?

This incident completely overturned her worldview until now.

Why isn't the general reacting?!

"Oh." Su Chen turned around and smiled at everyone. "I have some business with the general. I'll be back soon. You all chat first."

Kujo Sara: "Huh?"

Something came up, will you be quick?

Fortunately, everyone present was relatively innocent, otherwise their thoughts would have long since drifted off into outer space. Only Yae no Miko's expression kept changing... Lord Cardodia is going to... Pfft, hahaha~ I'm dying of laughter!!

She pictured a scene: Cardodia was exercising with the body, while the body's owner, Shadow, stood helplessly by in her spirit form. Cardodia couldn't see her, and she couldn't enjoy it either. Watching her beloved and her beloved body, Shadow wailed pitifully, so wronged!

"What are you thinking about!"

Su Chen flicked his wrist, striking the Eighth Divine Child on the head. The latter cried out in pain and looked at Su Chen with a wronged expression.

"I'll be going now... Um, Traveler, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? I'll have the Divine Child prepare something delicious; she'll cook it herself."

Everyone stood there stunned as they watched Su Chen carry the general away.

Yae no Miko was stunned. "Lord Kadodia... Shall I cook? No, please?"

Ying was stunned, hugging the general, "Su Chen, how dare you!"

Ayaka Kamisato and Sara Kujo were even more confused. "Shogun, if you're being forced, just blink!"

"Um..."

Wan Ye stood to the side, suddenly feeling as if he were the only one who was superfluous here.

...

into the night.

The evening breeze caresses the willows, and the red cherry blossoms shine like stars in the night.

The shadows of the mountains rise high, and the moonlight shines into the desolate sea. The silhouettes of the continuous mountains rise and fall, just like waves rolling into the plains.

Narukami Taisha Shrine: The shrine's residential area is brightly lit.

The shrine maidens remained silent, finishing their tasks early and returning to their rooms, not daring to make any unnecessary noise. They knew that there was a distinguished guest at the shrine today, and even if the priest hadn't said anything, they could guess that it must be the shogun.
