Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Lei Dian gasped softly.

"What do you want to do?"

The quilt with the floral pattern fell to the ground.

The overflowing spring light was completely obscured.

Chapter 162 Su Chen: I will always be with you [Please subscribe!]

When Su Chen and Zhen came out of the room, the sun was already high in the sky.

He originally planned to go to Sky Island immediately to check on the situation. After all, the situation on the mainland was basically confirmed to be fine, and the only thing missing was the island. Although from a generally rational point of view, there shouldn't be any problems... Putting everything else aside, at least he needed to confirm Asmodeus's situation!

As a responsible boss, I've worked diligently for three thousand years, and now that the simulation is back, I should at least personally greet them and not let my subordinates feel disheartened.

However, he was really being held back and wouldn't let him leave unless the matter with Ying was resolved.

Su Chen was helpless. Who knew when Ying would return to his body? What if he hid in the Pure Land of the Heart for a few more years? Would he stay there for years?

The good news is that the procession for the Sword Festival is being held as usual today, and the great Thunder General is preparing to depart early this morning under the arrangement of Kujo Sara.

Su Chen was surprised. He even thought that Ying wouldn't come out and was prepared to let Zhen take over so that the festival could be held first.

Then Yae no Miko came over to claim credit.

"How did you do that?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.

"Hehe~ Guess." The divine child smiled smugly, "I've been with Shadow for five hundred years, so I know her quite well."

Su Chen curled his lips. "You've been with me for five hundred years, but I've been here for fifteen hundred years. Besides, there was a lot of water in your five hundred years, and you barely even saw Ying a few times."

But, it's not a big problem.

Just come out.

"However, Lord Cardodia, I think Shadow is really angry this time. You need to think carefully about how to apologize."

"Why should I apologize? Let Zhen go."

"But Lord Cardodia, you don't want to see those sisters turn against each other, do you?"

"Come on, that's impossible."

Shadow's anger came and went quickly; the scoundrel couldn't possibly fool him with this.

However, considering the time cost, it would be best if things could be resolved as soon as possible... Su Chen glanced at Shenzi and, seeing the latter's smiling face, knew that he already had a plan.

"Tell me what you think," Su Chen said, arms crossed, looking like he was watching a performance.

“That’s simple.” The divine child winked. “In human terms, inviting people to dinner is common, but since this kind of shadow-based attack is ineffective, I think Lord Cardodia would be better off giving a gift.”

"A gift? Is it for you or for Ying?"

"Of course it's for Ying, but if Lord Cardodia gives me a gift, that's fine too, hehe~"

"Um..."

Su Chen stroked his chin. When it comes to giving gifts, he doesn't think he's ever given anyone a gift before. Whether it's the Great Tree King or the Flower Goddess, he always gives gifts in one go. On the contrary, he has given something to Ying. It's like he doesn't like his own wife and insists on keeping a mistress.

"Alright, it's a festival today, let's offer a knife as a sacrifice... or give a knife as a gift?"

Yae no Miko immediately rolled her eyes.

Lord Cardodia, how could you be so foolish as to give a girl a knife for a holiday?

"Even a shadow has a girlish side, how can you be like this?"

"You talk like you know a lot about this."

Su Chen said that he had never given a gift to a girl before, "So tell me, what should I give her?"

“We can take our time browsing,” Yae no Miko suggested. “Since the lifting of the isolation order, Inazuma Castle has introduced a lot of new and interesting things. Why don’t we go take a look? I can give you some ideas.”

"Are you going to pick one?"

"Be patient, Lord Cardodia, you need patience when pursuing a girl."

"Didn't you say you were going to apologize? What kind of way is this to pursue a girl?" Even so, I'll just pick a gift and get things done in the next couple of days. I'll go ask Asmodeus about the situation later.

Hmm... how about we go to Haiqi Island and get a couple of coral pearls?

Ying, look at this pearl, it's so big and round!

"Alright, let's go." Seeing that Su Chen didn't react at all, Yae no Miko quickly pulled him towards Inazuma Castle.

The procession moved slowly, and it wasn't until the two arrived at Inazuma Castle that the procession left the Forest of Guardians.

"Hmm~ It just so happens that most people went to watch the parade today, so we can have a good stroll around here." Yae no Miko said with a contented expression.

Su Chen glanced at him: "Isn't this a gift for Ying?"

"Ah, of course it's to show Ying the gift. Take a good look, that's what I meant."

After saying that, Yae no Miko pulled Su Chen and ran towards the noodle shop next door.

"Lord Cardodia, I want to eat noodles!"

"Hey, hey, hey, picking out a gift?"

"Ugh... I'm so hungry right now, I haven't had breakfast yet."

The pink fox looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

Her eyes revealed a yearning look; she was weak, pitiful, and helpless, but she had an extraordinary appetite.

Su Chen sighed, "Alright, let's eat."

"Hehe~ I knew Lord Cardodia loved me the most!"

The cunning and scheming fox has actually turned into a spoiled little girl. If Ying saw this here, she would probably be so surprised that her dreams would fall to the ground.

Then she would soon realize that something was wrong. They had agreed that she would go on the parade as usual today and leave things here to the shrine maiden, but something was clearly not right now... Of course, these shadows could not be seen.

"Boss, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen, plus a serving of fried tofu and a serving of tempura!"

The goddess walked into the noodle shop humming a tune, her face beaming with joy.

"Lord Miyaji, you've arrived. And this is..." Miyaji was a regular customer, so the owner naturally knew him, but upon seeing Su Chen beside him, his expression faltered slightly.

Just as the divine child was about to introduce the great Cardodia, the boss laughed and said, "Oh, I remember now, isn't this the one who won first place in this year's Dragon King cosplay competition? I remember, I was there too."

The divine child smiled and said, "Yes, yes, he is the best actor to play the Dragon King."

"That's a real honor. Today, the General is on a tour, and I was waiting here for her to pass by. I didn't expect to see you two first."

The boss was sensible enough not to ask why the dignified Palace Master wasn't with the team. Anyway, he felt that Su Chen's acting skills in this competition were probably not as good as the other two, but he still won first place. Now that he's seen the Divine Child appearing together, it goes without saying how much of it was fake. Those who know, know.

"Lord Cardodia, I come here often."

The divine child led Su Chen to the second floor and stopped at a window seat.

The store had a nice ambiance and a good location, but Su Chen wasn't particularly interested in noodles. However, seeing Shen Zi's obvious happiness, he went along with her.

Just consider it keeping the little fox company. I picked her up from the snow and took care of her back then. I didn't even have time to watch the divine child grow up before I left because of the simulation.

Sigh~ If I had taken better care of him back then, he probably wouldn't have turned out this way.

Not necessarily. Maybe being a scoundrel is just part of their nature.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph hmph (～￣▽￣)～?"

The divine child is humming a song.

Su Chen turned his head; the scenery outside the window was quite nice.

The sun is just right.

...

Meanwhile, in the White Fox Fields.

The sword, named 'Scarlet Cherry Blossom', is the sacred sword of the Isshin lineage and the divine sword of this year's Sacred Sword Festival. It is currently placed on the sword stand and being lifted high by several samurai.

Behind her, the majestic Mimi Narukami, the head of the royal family, sat with her eyes slightly closed on a magnificent palanquin. A huge cherry blossom umbrella shielded her from the blazing sunlight. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Torachiyo and Kitsui-no-miya, who were kneeling on her left and right sides.

"General." Fox Palace pulled the carriage all the way to the end and laughed, "Chiyo, you're going to lose."

"Wait, wait a minute, Master Sai, let me think about it, let me think about it some more." Torachiyo bit her finger and stared intently at the chessboard.

The new chess game introduced from Liyue can keep two people entertained for an entire day.

Fox Maiden, who has always been quite knowledgeable about 'playing', naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. Usually, she's with Makoto, but now that Makoto isn't here, she can only turn to Chiyo... After all, the journey can be a bit boring.

In other words, none of the accompanying subjects dared to look directly at the general's holy face, otherwise they would be quite startled to see these two great demons playing chess.

Ying's lips twitched slightly, thinking to herself, "Can't you guys be a demon?"

She had to stay in this position without moving and couldn't do anything, while these two were eating sunflower seeds and playing chess, treating this like an entertainment venue, huh?

"Where is that guy?" she couldn't help but ask.

The two turned their heads at the same time.

"Who?"

"Cardodia".

"I don't know where he went. I saw the Divine Child say something to him before he left." Torachiyo said, raising her head, but her hand secretly moved a chess piece a little while Fox Prince wasn't looking. "I really don't know where he went."

"She said she was going to Qinglai Island to take a look. Recently, Qinglai Island has also been opened to the public, and she's a little worried about it." Huzhaigong also raised his head to speak, while his hand touched the chess piece.

"What's there to worry about? The dragon lizard people are quite easy to get along with."

"The problem isn't there. There will always be people who think they are dangerous, especially outsiders."

"Then we won't let anyone else know about it."

"If we don't engage with the outside world, the economy won't get off the ground."

"Isn't that troublesome?"

"Governing a country is not that easy."

The two of them chatted back and forth.
