Teyvat: Girls who sell comics, please have some self-respect.

"That's true."

The fox murmured something.

He cursed himself for being too hasty; he should have investigated the matter thoroughly before making the call.

Now things have turned out really bad.

The other party has become wary; it's highly unrealistic to think they can use walnuts to defraud resources.

Seeing the fox deep in thought, Walnut couldn't help but say, "Would you like me to give you some advice?"

"What suggestions?"

The fox glanced at her, wondering what kind of wicked scheme this swindling little girl was up to.

But now that she's caught me, I have to bleed a little.

Hu Tao remembered Su Han's instructions, coughed lightly, and said, "It's like this, you didn't arrest me because I'm a fraud, did you?"

The fox didn't speak, but a hint of admiration appeared in its eyes.

If it were because of fraud, the fox wouldn't even need to lift a finger; those bastards from the Kujo clan would have dealt with her already.

Looking at the silent fox, Hu Tao smiled slightly, knowing that she was right.

"Since it's not about fraud or smuggling, and considering the conditions you just mentioned, I'll tentatively guess that you're arresting me not because of what I did, but because you want my help, right?"

The fox's eyes flickered.

She never expected that her secret thoughts would be guessed by a young girl.

Ignoring her reaction, Hu Tao continued, "I suspect you noticed me the first time. After all, Inazuma is your territory, and besides, impersonating a shrine maiden couldn't have escaped you, the Fox Spirit Master. The reason you're taking action now is probably because you've investigated my background, right?"

"You're quite smart."

Yae no Miko took a sip of tea, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Although she guessed the fox spirit's intention, Hu Tao showed no joy on her face. Instead, she sat up seriously.

"Has the situation gotten this serious?"

"Yes."

The fairy fox sighed softly, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"I imagine you and that little girl, Kuki Shinobu, have seen it all during your travels. The Kujo clan is insatiably greedy; they won't even provide compensation for their fallen soldiers. If it weren't for my Yae-do's tireless efforts, those people would probably have starved to death long ago."

Because of the country's isolation.

Prices in Inazuma are rising rapidly.

Nobles can eat and drink extravagantly every day, but ordinary people living in the countryside can barely afford a bowl of rice.

Whenever she thought of this, Yae no Miko would drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Inazuma is now struggling to keep things going all by herself.

Looking at the fox who was on the verge of tears, Hu Tao was extremely puzzled.

"But BeiDou carries a lot of resources, isn't that enough?"

"The people in the countryside can be satisfied, but what about the people in the city? They need to be given something to eat."

"Hey, you're not trying to trick us into supplying Inazuma with large amounts of provisions to maintain the current situation, are you?"

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to guess it again. Little Walnut, just for your cleverness, I like you more and more."

Yae no Miko looked surprised, not expecting that her little scheme had been seen through again.

The current head of the Hall of Rebirth is quite something.

Walnut remained expressionless in the face of the fox's praise.

Ha, if it weren't for Su Han's warning, she would have been completely fooled by this fox.

That's absolutely despicable.

No wonder Su Han repeatedly warned her before they set off to be careful of this fox.

"Don't give me that, I wouldn't dare be your sister! Besides, even if we were willing to help, that general might not appreciate it, and might even send people to arrest us."

"Little sister Hu Tao, you don't need to worry about this. As long as it doesn't involve the Eye of God, that idiot Tengu will turn a blind eye. How about you help your sister out? If Inazuma recovers in the future, I will promise you two shops and announce to Inazuma that you are my successor. That way, your family's business will be legitimate."

Walnut can be ignored in the preceding conditions.

The only thing that really appealed to her was the identity of the successor.

This is considered an official, legitimate identity.

They can openly and legitimately operate the business of the Rebirth Hall.

What should I do? Should I agree?

These conditions are so tempting!

Hu Tao was very conflicted.

With this identity as the shrine maiden of Yamashiro Narukami Shrine, she won't have to worry about her business in Inazuma anymore.

Yae Shenzi was not in a hurry either.

She gave the conditions, and she even pinpointed the other party's Achilles' heel.

She didn't believe that Hu Tao wouldn't agree.

Sure enough, it only took five minutes.

Yae no Miko then heard Hu Tao say, "I agree to your conditions, but I need to talk to Su Han first, since he has a lot of ideas."

"May I listen in?"

"no problem."

Since the other party has offered such generous terms, we can be friends from now on.

Hu Tao, of course, wouldn't shy away from the topic.

The call was answered soon.

Su Han's voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"It's me. Yae no Miko just offered her terms. I've thought about it and they're quite generous, so I wanted to discuss it with you."

Hu Tao revealed the details of their deal.

I'd also like to hear his opinion.

Su Han hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

If the other party is engaging in normal trade, then naturally we can meet their needs.

He also wanted to ask if there were any swordsmen who died in battle in Inazuma, given the fragments in the dream.

In his past life, he must have been a very skilled swordsman.

Others may not know, but the sly fox might provide some clues.

"This condition is perfectly fine. You can order anything you need through Den Den Mushi in the future. Kurumi, you should have other Den Den Mushi, right?"

"some."

"I'll give one to Miss Yae no Miko."

"no problem."

Transaction complete.

Yae no Miko finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least with the support of Su Han, the big businessman, Inazuma's situation could finally be stabilized for the time being.

The next step is to wait for the right opportunity.

Hopefully, Kage will come to his senses before Inazuma's life is destroyed.

The official business is over.

Yae no Miko then instructed Inashiro Hotaru, "Go and take Kurumi through the formalities, and while you're at it, teach her all our spells as well."

"Yes, my lord."

"Hehe, then thank you! Sister Shenzi."

Upon hearing that she could get an official identity today, Hu Tao immediately smiled happily.

She just said she didn't care about being the younger sister, but now that the deal is done, she's proactively calling me the older sister.

So you're just like Lord Kuji!

Inashiro Hotaru, standing next to her, couldn't help but mentally complain.

Yae no Miko, however, didn't seem to care at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Go on, Little Sister Kurumi. I still have some things I want to discuss with Su Han."

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer."

Walnut went out in a cheerful mood.

When only the fox was left in the room.

She picked up the Den Den Mushi and said with a smile, "Mr. Su Han, do you have some time to chat about personal matters later?"

Su Han smiled upon hearing this and replied, "What a coincidence, I also happen to have something private I'd like to ask you. Why don't you go first?"

Does he also have private matters?

Yae no Miko looked puzzled, sensing that something was amiss.

Did the other party know in advance that he would need his help?

Chapter 193 Yae no Miko: I have a friend who is very withdrawn.

Yae no Miko quickly composed herself and said with a smile, "Mr. Su Han is truly talented. His comics are not only bestsellers worldwide, but each one is more exciting than the last."

"So, what do you mean?"

Su Han didn't want to beat around the bush, so she went straight to the point.
