Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Kujo Sara broke down, reaching out to grab Ji Ming's bathrobe collar, and said in a low, angry voice, "Liyue person, how dare you disrespect the General!"

That's how celestial dogs are; their breath is unavoidable, and Ji Ming loves it when people breathe on him.

Don't ask, the answer is I just like to act like a jerk.

Ji Ming chuckled and said, "How could I possibly be disrespectful to the General? It's just a pity that the General has taken such good care of me, even letting me sleep on her bedding. I can never repay this kindness."

Kujo Sara's veins bulged: "Shut up, you despicable scoundrel!"

The tengu was still breathing.

The so-called "making trouble" doesn't mean just being a jerk. Ji Ming really hopes to build a good relationship with this General Kujo Sara, since he will be staying here for the next few months. Building a good relationship with this loyal general might come in handy sometime.

Holding his shirt by the cuffs of his clothes by Kujo Sara, Ji Ming seemed to be showing off: "Oh dear, it's a pity that only I can enjoy this."

Kujo Sara's eyes were filled with tears, her face a mask of envy, jealousy, and hatred: "Bastard..."

Ji Ming smiled and said, "Do you want it?"

Her tears stopped abruptly, and Kujo Sara asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Ji Ming repeated, "I said, does General Kujo want the general's bedding?"

Kujo Sara was torn. She really wanted the shogun's bedding, but asking for it directly would be too offensive to the shogun.

Seeing Kujo Sara's hesitation, Ji Ming added fuel to the fire: "I won't let the general know."

"I want!"

Kujo Sara immediately declared, while simultaneously threatening, "If the General finds out about this, I will definitely not let you off, Ji Ming!"

Ji Ming raised his hands in surrender: "It's easy, it's easy, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. Does General Kujo want to get something for nothing?"

"What do you want, Mora?"

Oh ho, he actually agreed? It's hard to imagine Kujo Sara's mental state; he's obsessed with his idol.

This was a good opportunity to ask for a favor. In the future, Ji Ming would have three most important connections in Inazuma Castle: the White Heron Princess, the magistrate of the shrine; the Tengu General, the magistrate of the heavenly realm; and the Fox Priest of Narukami Shrine.

Yes, Ji Ming and his animal companions.

"Let's leave that aside for now. General Kujo owes me a favor. I'll talk about it later when I've thought it through," Ji Ming hesitated for a moment before adding, "I won't do anything to harm Inazuma."

Kujo Sara nodded and said, "Yes, you are the General's honored guest, and I trust the General."

Ji Ming feigned sadness: "So you didn't believe me after all?"

Kujo Sara raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Okay, it seems the Tengu doesn't believe in himself.

Ji Ming shrugged: "When does General Kujo usually personally take his duty? Don't misunderstand, I just wanted to find an opportunity to personally hand you the bedding. After all, General Kujo wouldn't want outsiders to see this, would he?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, go to the Tianling Envoy's office to find me. Someone will show you the way. Also, make sure you have the General's... whatever you need ready. You absolutely cannot try to fool me with fakes, or I won't let you off the hook."

"Alright, alright, Kujou-sama, you can continue working. I'm going back to sleep."

Just as Ji Ming was about to enter the castle tower, he was stopped by Kujo Sara. The Tengu general's face was full of vigilance and disdain, which made Ji Ming feel a sense of satisfaction. He liked this kind of expression the most.

Kujo Sara asked, "Where do you sleep?"

Ji Ming pretended to be confused, knowing full well what was going on: "Of course it's the Sleeping Sky Tower. Why is General Kujo asking this?"

Kujo Sara's expression was indifferent: "Don't play dumb. Do you want to sleep in the Shogun's bedding?"

Ji Ming chuckled: "That's right."

"No!"

"Why?"

Kujo Sara found it difficult to speak, but still whispered, "Tomorrow I want the General's bedding. The bedding absolutely cannot have your scent on it, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Of course, Ji Ming only lay down there once. The Heavenly Dog's nose shouldn't be that sensitive, right?

As Ji Ming's thoughts wandered, Kujo Sara took the initiative to come closer, twitching her smooth nose.

Ji Ming: "What is the meaning of this, General Kujo?"

Kujo Sara: "Information entry".

Does this sound familiar?

Chapter 105 The Amazing Senior and Junior Brothers (4000 words total)

On the second floor of the castle tower, Ji Ming, huddled in a corner, looked bewildered. He looked up at Lei Yingdian, who seemed a little embarrassed. His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, motionless.

Ji Ming blinked: "Good day, General."

Lei Movie remained motionless: "Hmm."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ji Ming would have almost thought he was still dreaming, waking up to find the God of Thunder squatting in front of him with a loving expression, even reaching out to stroke his face.

Undeniably, Ji Ming was genuinely frightened.

Although Lei Yingdian quickly composed himself, Ji Ming couldn't forget that loving expression from before; it seemed like he hadn't seen that expression in a long time.

Unlike Barbara, this priestess and nun is a simple little angel, and it is only natural for her to radiate the holy light of a little angel.

Unlike Senior Sister Gan Yu, although Ji Ming always jokingly referred to her as "Mother" in private, her gentleness never reached the level of a mother, but rather wandered in a different direction from that of a non-blood-related relationship.

The two women mentioned above are the most like the "mother" role, but Ji Ming has only ever seen Lei's expression from his deceased mother.

It wouldn't be good to let the atmosphere remain awkward. Ji Ming, who had been startled awake early in the morning, was not in his best mental state, so he took the initiative to move his face closer and gently press it against Lei Yingdian's palm.

Lei Yingdian remained expressionless, but her eyes sparkled with excitement. Her little hand mischievously squeezed him: "If you're awake, get up quickly. Today we'll begin preparing for the second trial."

It feels nice to the touch; it would be even better if it gained a little weight.

'The castle tower has a kitchen, why not cook for yourself...'

Ji Ming sighed helplessly but didn't struggle: "I'll get up, as long as you don't keep pinching my face."

Lei Yingdian quickly released his grip, stood up, and said expressionlessly, "Okay, get up now."

"General, how does it feel?"

"not bad……"

Ji Ming stretched, ignoring Lei Yingdian's extremely dangerous gaze, and said lazily, "I am truly flattered to have gained the favor of the General."

Do all demons have this quirky habit of raising children? Venti from Mondstadt is the same way, calling Ji Ming "my child" every day. Lei Movie didn't say anything to prove it, but his eyes and expression just now couldn't be faked.

Did you use him as a source of emotional support? Sorry, Ji Ming doesn't like being used as a substitute.

It's a pity that Ji Ming's relationship with Lei Yingdian is currently so-so, otherwise he would have wanted to ask what happened. A demon god wouldn't inexplicably treat a stranger as a child; there might be another hidden reason.

Lei Ying crossed his arms and said in a cold tone, "Don't be so glib. Today I've arranged a sparring partner for you, specifically to be in charge of your second trial."

Ji Ming asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

Lei Ying said, "The chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, my demon god familiar, Yae no Miko."

Ji Ming: "?!"

Seeing Ji Ming's shocked expression, Lei Yingdong raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you think it's too simple?"

"No, this is clearly beyond the limit, isn't it?"

Although I haven't seen Yae no Miko make a move, as a demon familiar of the thunder god Balzeb, her strength must be considerable.

Lei Movie was very patient: "The second trial is not a battle."

Ji Ming asked, bewildered, "Then why did you bring Sister Shenzi over?"

“The Divine Child insisted on coming to see you, saying that you haven’t visited her to chat these past few days, and that you’re ungrateful,” Lei Yingdong said, a smirk playing on his lips. “Thinking that I needed an assistant for the second trial, I asked the Divine Child to help.”

"General, may I ask you about the process of the second trial?"

Ji Ming swallowed hard. Just as he finished speaking, a lazy and alluring female voice came from the spiral staircase of the castle tower: "A chase, huh? Ying wants Ji-kun to chase a suitable target, which is none other than me, the Divine Child."

Oh no, the evil fox is attacking!

As Yae no Miko walked up to the second floor, she saw the wariness on Ji Ming's face and couldn't help but raise her sleeve to hide her barely suppressed wicked smile.

Little one, since you won't come to see the Divine Child, then the Divine Child will come to see you in person.

"Sister Shenzi, you've become more beautiful."

Yae no Miko cooperated perfectly, tilting her head back to reveal her smooth, delicate neck, and teased, "Does Ji-kun like it?"

Without hesitation, Ji Ming immediately pledged his loyalty: "I like it. Can I hug you, Divine Child Sister?"

"No, Ji-kun hasn't come to see me for four or five days in a row. Sister Shenzi is very angry and won't let Ji-kun hug her."

After a few seconds of pause, Yae no Miko's smile widened: "Unless, Ji-kun can catch Miko-nee in the second trial, I won't let you hug me."

Lei Yingdian sighed, pressing his temples with a headache, and urged, "Shenzi, can you behave yourself a little? Ji Ming needs a sparring partner, not someone to chat with."

"What does it matter? Being a sparring partner and chatting with someone don't conflict. Ji Jun definitely likes it when pretty older sisters chat with him, right?"

"Yeah."

With a wicked grin on her face, how could Ji Ming dare to contradict this cunning fox-like priestess? In order to prevent her from deliberately increasing the difficulty of the trial, Ji Ming had no choice but to comply.

Lei Ying walked to the viewing area and sat down cross-legged: "Ji Ming, if you're ready, you can start pursuing the Divine Child directly..."
