Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

I have a feeling... this woman's features bear a resemblance to the general's?

Forget it, this is not something a small-time vendor like me can get involved in. The most important thing is to get these gentlemen off as soon as possible.

Zhen observed Ying's every move from the side, feeling a strange sense of relief.

He's finally not the same stubborn kid who refused to acknowledge the true desires of the people anymore.

"Pack a few more boxes of takoyaki, dango, sushi, basically anything you can get, I'm in a hurry." Qin Ye showed no sign of backing down.

“...Sigh.” Ying sighed, no longer intending to stop him: “Tuanzi Milk, to go.”

"Yes, General!"

"Speaking of which," Qin Ye realized an important question, "didn't you bring Mora either?"

"Of course, I'll have someone from the company come to make the payment later, but why did you say 'also'?"

“...Morax,” he muttered softly.

"It's nothing. I always thought that following Morax would guarantee me food, but now I've discovered that Tianli is actually the richest one. He owns several houses and villas."

The richest of the Seven Gods is actually a lazy bard who just loafs around doing nothing; at least he can pay for his own drinks.

"Then you shouldn't make me treat you..."

Qin Ye shrugged casually: "Anyway, it's the Society's business."

The good apprentice had always harbored resentment towards his master. Although they weren't truly at odds, he found himself no match for him after each practice session, which was somewhat of a blow to Ying's childish spirit at the time.

This has led the other party to always hope for an opportunity to show off in front of their master.

Looking at it this way, the stragglers really are her own son; they're practically from the same lineage.

"By the way, boss, your dumpling milk is pretty good. I wonder how the sales are?" Qin Ye changed the subject, not letting Ying continue to throw a tantrum.

"We appreciate the customer's recognition, but sales are actually just average."

"Why is that?" Ying asked, unable to understand.

"Because they understand eternity better than you do."

"?"

"It takes time for people to accept new things, especially things like food that are inseparable from physical health..."

However, dango milk isn't exactly a culinary disaster, compared to what Ying used to make when she was learning to cook...

"Haha."

Zhen and Qin Ye exchanged a smile, seemingly having thought of the same thing.

"It's a shame that such delicious food goes unappreciated."

Ying was oblivious to the expressions on their faces and muttered to herself.

“I have a good suggestion.” Qin Ye patted his apprentice’s shoulder earnestly: “It seems that Brother Ayato doesn’t have much work lately, and the next festival of Inazuma is still a long way off. Why don’t you ask Brother Ayato to buy a few hundred bottles and deliver them to people door to door to let them taste?”

He frowned.

Who is Ayato-nii?

Even without knowing Inazuma's current situation, she was certain that this person must have offended Qin Ye somewhere before. His plan required the Heart of God, so he must have come to Inazuma before.

Therefore, there must be some connection between him and Inazuma's magistrate, plus the fact that Kage knows this person.

Could it be that one of my scapegoats has been targeted by Qin Ye?

However, Shadow would definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request...

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll send someone to inform them when I get back."

There has been absolutely no progress!

When Zhen walked to the stall, he picked up the food that the owner had just packed. He first put his arm around Qin Ye's arm, and then gave Ying a knowing look.

She forcefully dragged a man who wanted to watch the commotion away from the stall.

"Please take care, General."

The stall owner quickly waved with a smile, feeling incredibly fortunate.

"Sigh." Shin rubbed his forehead with one hand: "I was thinking I could relax... no, I was thinking I could stand on my own, but it seems it's not time to be a hands-off manager anytime soon."

While his will and spirit have progressed to a point where he can be assured of success, he is far inferior to Barbatos and Morax in terms of interpersonal skills and common sense.

"Qin Ye..."

She glanced at the man who was trying not to laugh.

She also wanted to visit Qin Ye's villa and courtyard sometime, then go there to retire and experience life in retirement, and chat with Qi Shen and Columbia, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.

and many more?

We've been tricked!

Qin Ye planned to spend some leisure time with his wife first, no wonder...

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Ye's lips curled up, which only confirmed Zhen's suspicions.

They've stopped pretending altogether.

“Don’t let your sister’s current appearance fool you,” Qin Ye leaned closer. “She’s actually quite lonely. In the future, you can bring her to visit me sometime. Right now, it’s more important to spend time with her.”

It's impossible to know how much sincerity and how much calculation were behind those words.

However, at least from Qin Ye's perspective, he still hoped that the two who had been separated for so long could spend more time together.

Zhen always felt that her return would influence Ying's future choices. If her sister remained the same as before, she could stay with peace of mind.

Ke Ying is still like a child in this respect. The passage of time has caused her to lose many things, and she lacks someone to accompany her and someone she can rely on.

Although Qin Ye could also become that person, he hasn't even met him once in five hundred years, so the child is still somewhat resistant. There will be other opportunities in the future.

"I..."

Looking at her younger sister, who was keeping her distance from the two of them and not trying to eavesdrop on their whispers, Zhen's heart softened immediately: "You're right."

It remains to be seen whether Inazuma needs the truth or the shadow, but the shadow certainly needs the truth.

At times like these, we cannot ignore our sister's true feelings because of the complicated situation.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. I still have other things to take care of. Come visit me in Liyue if you have the chance. I'll probably be vacationing in Liyue for a while."

"Well, you're really enjoying yourself."

Seeing that Zhen nodded in response, Qin Ye planned to find a secluded place to leave.

"Qin Ye..."

"Ok?"

Ying Wen's gentle voice stopped him in his tracks.

With her back to Qin Ye, she crossed her arms and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Thank you. Remember to come visit me often when you have time."

"?"

Seemingly sensing some ambiguity in her words, she coughed lightly twice: "As for what changes will occur in Inazuma under my rule, I will give you something to look forward to."

"Well, definitely."

-

As Qin Ye flew over the calm waters of Daozhi, he was more pleased with his disciple's frankness than with the reunion with old friends like Zhongli and Guizhong.

only...

Did he forget something while he was in such a hurry?

-

Tenshukaku

"Ugh! I can't take it anymore! What on earth is Dionysus doing?! He hasn't come back to see me for half a month!"

Scaramucci's transformation has been lifted due to Qin Ye returning the power to Shin and the disruption of spacetime.

"Oh dear, don't be so impatient. As the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, I have countless things to do every day, yet I'm not as anxious as you."

Despite saying that, the Divine Child hadn't actually returned to the Heavenly Guard Pavilion these past few days, only occasionally checking to see if his adopted nephew was actually keeping watch as required.

"Yae no Miko, don't think I'm really afraid of you."

"Of course I know that, but the problem is you're afraid of Qin Ye, so as his older sister, I naturally feel justified in doing so."

"How...how could I be afraid of him?!"

Dionysus had the nerve to let a five-hundred-year-old fox take advantage of him.

"Oh dear~ Since you're not afraid of me, why don't you run away from the castle tower and go far away? Anyway, I can't stop you. But if my novel is delayed in release, the loss will be much more heartbreaking than if you run away."

The goddess rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed with worry.

"My poor little brother Qin Ye can't even control one subordinate. When he returns to the Sky Keep, he'll cry and make a scene in front of his sister. Waaah, so pitiful. If he gets angry, even I probably won't be able to stop him."

"Who are you calling his subordinates?"

The skirmisher clenched his fists and abruptly stood up from his position.

"Really? Then I was overthinking it. After all, ladies tend to listen to my brother. Sigh, little brother, it's a pity your sister doesn't have that ability. I can only wait for you to come back and support her."

After half a month of cross-dressing and the pain of being left to languish, the soldier's emotions finally erupted under his sarcastic tone.

"I'm not killing you because of Qin Ye, but I'm not going to care about Inazuma today."

He stormed towards the gate, also wanting to see if Qin Ye had really sent it, so he could come back and have roasted fox as soon as possible.

He's a god now!

"You wait, I'll deal with Qin Ye and Balzeb first, then I'll come back and wipe them out..."

"...He's really filial." The divine child couldn't help but mutter.

The door was wide open, and two figures stood in front of it, blocking the sunlight that should have been shining on the little boy's face.

"Oh dear, Ying? Who's this? You and Qin Ye..."

Her slender fingers clenched lightly in front of her chest, and her dream shone brightly.
