Ji Ming couldn't hold back anymore. It turned out that this was not a stereotype, but a tradition of the Inatsuma people.

"Fine, give me eighteen fireworks."

Considering that his subordinates were all homebodies, Ji Ming decided to buy some fireworks to get them out and have some fun. He didn't know if the Narukami Shrine allowed fireworks.

The lively and pretty girl grinned and raised her hand in salute: "Alright, honored guest, please follow me, I'll go prepare right away!"

Upon entering the fireworks shop, Ji Ming began to observe the shop's layout. The fireworks shop did not appear to be very large; the counter could only accommodate one or two people sitting together, and unfinished fireworks and gunpowder were piled up in other areas.

"Sir, are you here in Inazuma for tourism?"

"To be honest, I am the Liyue Ambassador."

Speaking in a joking tone, Ji Ming thought the girl wouldn't believe him, but to his surprise, her smile remained and possessed a strange infectious charm.

"Yes, I believe you. These are your fireworks, Mr. Ambassador."

"Thank you."

Ji Ming took the portable bag, revealing two light novels tucked under his arm. He took out a money pouch from his sleeve, counted the Mora, and handed it to the lively girl in front of him.

He hadn't noticed before, but the lively girl in front of him was dressed even more strangely than he was, with her smooth shoulders partially exposed and her chest area bound with bandages, looking surprisingly daring.

The lively girl blinked: "Ambassador, are you interested in light novels?"

Ji Ming nodded: "Actually, I'm not that interested, but some wicked woman forced me to read it, so I had no choice but to obey."

"Bad woman? You must be the ambassador's girlfriend. The ambassador shouldn't talk about his girlfriend like that; it's wrong."

"She's not my girlfriend."

Seeing the serious expression on the girl's face, Ji Ming smiled and said, "Miss Naganohara, your fireworks are very good."

The shop was called Naganohara Fireworks Shop, and it was labeled in both Teyvat vernacular and Inatsume language, which is why Ji Ming was able to know the lively girl's surname.

"Just call me Yoomiya. The title 'Miss Naganohara' sounds weird, and I don't like it."

"Why? Isn't that your surname?"

Xiao Gong replied frankly, "That's too formal. What's the ambassador's name?"

“Gan...Jiming, Ji as in season, and Ming as in the sun and moon.”

That was close! I almost triggered a super counterattack. I can't use my Liyue ambassador identity to do abstract stuff.

Chapter 96 I picked this up.

"Sister Divine Child, what are you doing?"

Ji Ming's lips twitched slightly. Right in front of him was the Eightfold Divine Child, no more than five centimeters from the tip of his nose. The alluring fragrance uncontrollably wafted towards the tip of his nose, making him feel a little itchy.

Yae no Miko seemed to be deep in thought, staring at Ji Ming's innocent little eyes, when she suddenly broke into a smile: "Ji-kun, you've only been gone a short time, and you've already started flirting with our Inazuma-san?"

"Inazuma Hana is so nice... No, I didn't flirt with Inazuma Hana, I just bought a dozen or so fireworks to set off for those otaku."

"Old-fashioned ways of striking up a conversation, but I won't delve into those, so please don't mess with Inazuma-san, Ki-kun."

She stopped there, and Yae no Miko had no intention of interfering in Ji Ming's private life unless the little guy went too far and caused the young lady to come to her door to complain. Otherwise, she could turn a blind eye to everything else.

After all, Sister Gan Yu only instructed her to take good care of Ji Jun's safety, and did not ask her to monitor Ji Jun's private life, so let Ji Jun be.

Looking at the two light novels on the table, Yae no Miko revealed an interested look and teased, "Ki-kun, you like this kind of thing?"

Instead of answering the question directly, Ji Ming glanced at Yae no Miko's ears and said, "The title looks quite appealing, but I wonder what the content is like."

Yae no Miko commented, "The logic is flawed, but these two light novels are still excellent works."

"Has the Divine Child sister seen it?"

"Of course, I review all the light novels published by Yaedo. Isn't Shinko-neechan amazing?"

Ji Ming was very honest: "Sister Shenzi has very unique tastes, she is truly a divine person."

High emotional intelligence: peculiar tastes, truly a genius.

Low emotional intelligence: If you can eat this, you need to hire a master chef at home.

Hearing Ji Ming's sarcasm, Yae no Miko showed no mercy, pinching his small fan and patting his head, scolding, "Don't underestimate top-ranking light novels. If Ji-kun can one day write something like that, then you'll be qualified to comment."

"That's it? Sister Shenzi, I could come up with several book titles like this in one go."

In a matriarchal world, I became a gender-swapped emperor.

Barbatos, don't look back, I am Dvalin.

Based on these two titles alone, light novel fans on the Teyvat continent would definitely be willing to spend a fortune on them.

That year, a young man entered the world of light novels, and Mora (a popular light novel brand) flocked to him.

Yae no Miko found it somewhat amusing and said lazily, "There are always people more capable than you. Never think you're so great. It's already quite late. Doesn't Ji-kun want to go back to his room to rest?"

Ji Ming blinked, and seeing the fox-like threatening look in Yae no Miko's eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

In any case, if Ji Ming were to actually say "I want to sleep with Sister Shenzi," he might really die, so it's better to behave himself.

"I can't sleep, I'm a night owl."

"What should we do then? Should we ask Sister Shenzi to lull you to sleep?"

"Can we talk about the general? The general will meet with the delegation on the first floor of the castle tower in three days. I... haven't met the ruling demon yet."

This is clearly a lie. The Mondstadt drunkard who keeps saying "Hehehe" is indeed Barbatos, the god of wind. It's just that Ji Ming rarely sees him in his majestic form, except for the time he was attacked by the Fatui debt collectors.

Thor Balzebub is, after all, a demon god, and his aura will definitely be terrifying. You have to be mentally prepared beforehand.

Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko stretched, then pulled out a scroll-shaped portrait from under the table, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Ji Ming.

"Look, this is Ying. Doesn't she look like a silly, country girl?"

Ji Ming stared intently at the portrait.

Not in a daze, Ji Ming was carefully observing the Thunder General in the portrait. This demon god seemed to have a cold and aloof temperament that kept strangers at bay, but his eyes were not so cold, and there was a beauty mark at the corner of his eye.

Yae no Miko smiled: "Is it beautiful?"

Ji Ming replied, "She's pretty, but not as pretty as my senior sister Gan Yu."

"Between Sister Shenzi and Senior Sister Ganyu, who is prettier?"

"That must be Senior Sister Gan Yu."

Without hesitation, Ji Ming took advantage of the moment when the Eightfold Divine Child was distracted to snatch the portrait of the Thunder God from her hand, rolled it up, and put it in his pocket.

I picked this up!

"Ji Jun, your little hands are getting restless, aren't they?"

Yae no Shinji didn't intend to take it back; it was just a portrait. If Ji Ming wanted it, he could just give it to him. Anyway, that guy Ying wouldn't have any objections.

"Don't think of Shadow as too scary. Besides, it might not be Shadow himself who comes out to see you. It's more likely that it will be General Thunder who sees you."

"What do you mean?"

Yae no Miko extended her finger and shook it slightly: "Ray Movie and Raiden General, one is a real person and the other is a puppet. The movie is a real girl who stays at home, while the general is a puppet without emotions."

Ji Ming instantly understood: "So the ones who saw us were puppets?"

"Hmm, the puppet is quite powerful, so don't underestimate her!"

"Understood. How could I possibly underestimate Thor's puppet? By the way, will General Thunder directly interfere in the meeting?"

Yae no Miko shook her head: "Neither the Shadow nor the Shogun will interfere in the meeting. They will only attend as the rulers of Inazuma. Just treat them as mascots. After all, your opponent is the Three Commissioners."

To be honest, Yae no Miko had long disliked the three magistrates. Apart from the Kamisato family, which was in charge of the magistrates, there was a pair of good siblings in this family, especially Kamisato Ayaka, who was known as the "White Heron Princess".

Most of the officials who once served the Three Principles of the People have now been thoroughly corrupted. Whether it is the needs of the people or the tasks assigned by their superiors, they will always seek to make money in the process of doing things.

That's absolutely rotten, those three officials.

"Leave the laning phase to my subordinates. I know nothing about diplomacy. Let's continue talking about Thor. I'm really interested in Lord Thor."

Yae no Miko sighed: "You brat who gets lustful at first sight, don't come up with such an excuse."

Ji Ming, with a righteous expression, said, "No, I just want to learn as much as possible about Thor so that the Liyue delegation can gain more diplomatic advantages."

"Okay, what would you like to ask, Mr. Ji?"

"I'd like to ask, is the Thunder General puppet life-size?"

Yae no Miko subconsciously replied, "Of course, it's a one-to-one replica. You can completely treat Raiden General as the real Kage."

Wait, what is this little guy trying to do?

As expected, Ji Ming smacked his lips and asked again, "Sister Divine Child, I want one."

Yae no Miko's eyes were empty and cold: "Don't even think about it, Ji-kun."

Honestly, I just praised him for being well-behaved a few hours ago. Isn't this little guy a bit too naughty? Taking care of a child is so tiring, Sister Ganyu.

"Ji Jun is really a fool."

Chapter 97 The Noisy Liyue Diplomat

In the plaza outside the castle tower, the Liyue delegation was arranged in three orderly rows. After three days of rest (staying at home), they had all recovered their spirits from when they were in Liyue Harbor and were full of confidence for this formal meeting.
