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

Chapter 96 Zhuge... A Challenge Letter Delivered from the Heart Sea of ​​the Coral Palace

"Sigh, I was fooled by such acting skills and tricks. I'm still not mature enough."

Coral Palace Heart Sea lay on the table in the secret cave, sighing deeply.

She patted her cheeks to encourage herself.

Now that things have come to this, the Fool would absolutely not allow Haiqi Island to be defeated, as that would not be in his interest.

The reason Columbia hosted me was to give me this kind of hint.

Although his methods are despicable, they still have to maintain a facade of cooperation because they share the same goal.

Moreover, I cannot allow the residents of Haizhi Island who trust me to be harmed; I must work even harder.

She picked up the notebook next to her.

(Having dined with Columbia, I enjoyed a delicious meal and gained +3 energy.)

(The guess was wrong, the Fool gained the upper hand, Energy -3)

(Goro was also confused by the pyramid scheme, energy -5)

(The Fool has stirred up the rebellious spirit of the Sea God Army; the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released. Energy -10)

She added another stroke at the end.

(A rare break, energy boost)

The familiar voice made her put down her pen.

"Oh my, this is truly a wonderful place, Lady Coral Palace."

A figure walked out of the cave, the man with a bright smile.

"The Fool..."

He even found this place?

Upon hearing the other party call him by his title, Qin Ye's face showed a hint of surprise: "Hiss... I didn't expect that you would have heard my name."

He narrowed his eyes: "It must have been the girl who accidentally revealed it; how dare she scheme against my people..."

"?"

Didn't you ask her to tell me on her own initiative?

Qin Ye suddenly smiled again.

"Don't be so tense, Lady Coral Palace. I was just joking. Don't you feel much better now? Want to chat with me?"

"You've done everything you were supposed to do, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

Xin Hai was clearly somewhat wary of the man before her, mainly because she couldn't figure him out, and besides, she hadn't settled the score with him yet...

Qin Ye sat down on a chair nearby without caring at all.

This verbal probing was a test to see who would lose their composure first, and coincidentally, his composure was as steady as a pillar of stability.

"I've been having some free time lately, so I gave a rather ordinary speech and also made a deal with the sea monsters near Haiqi Island."

Ordinary?

Xiao Hai clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Oh... just say what you have to say."

Xin Hai saw things very clearly; she understood that the other party couldn't have come here for no reason just to put on airs.

"Seeing that Lady Coral Palace is so calm, I can finally relax and discuss things with you."

This modern-day goddess priestess adjusts her mindset quite quickly... is it because she was forced to train a lot since childhood?

Qin Ye organized his thoughts: "You probably think that my speech was meant to incite the people's desire to resist and make them die for me, which is why you're so unhappy with me."

"Why not?"

Xin Hai knew that deceiving people was a common tactic used by the other party, so she had to be careful.

The man suddenly shook his head helplessly: "Don't underestimate me just because I'm only the twelfth seat. The things I have to deal with in the Winter Kingdom are more than ten times the number of the eleventh and third seats combined."

He looked completely innocent: "I barely managed to get a grasp of the situation after arriving in Inazuma. I had no intention of being your enemy. Although I used some minor tricks, it was because the resistance forces were indeed indispensable."

Qin Ye reached into his pocket and made Xin Hai frown, staring at his palm.

He threw several knife guards onto the table.

“If I really wanted to just walk away, I wouldn’t have sent you, young master, to help you clean up the trouble around here, much less come to you now with such sincerity to discuss things.”

Whether it's deception or honest negotiation, the important thing now is to get Xiao Xinhai to follow his plan.

"..."

Whether this man comes here today or not, he can ensure the war continues, so let's listen to him.

"So what is your plan? If you can convince me and guarantee that casualties among the people of Coral Palace are minimized, I will naturally do my best to cooperate."

Qin Ye fanned himself with satisfaction: "Of course, let me explain it to you slowly."

Kujo Jinya

"Report!"

"What's the matter?"

Kujo Sara was instructing soldiers on training at the training ground when she noticed the messenger looking flustered and frowned.

"The Coral Palace sent a challenge to Xin Hai, asking me to fight next week."

"?"

Sara opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She opened the envelope and carefully read the contents of the letter.

"..."

Qin Ye managed to convince the previously hesitant priestess to make up her mind in just a few days...

She didn't believe that the living, divine priestess had suddenly changed her mind and decided to take a gamble; war was no child's play.

Unless someone can subdue both the deserters who went to Coral Palace and the local soldiers in a short period of time, the simplest way is to find a common target.

She tore the letter to shreds, drew her bow taut, and with lightning speed, the arrow struck the bullseye a hundred meters away.

Regardless of what changes may occur, since war has begun...

Bringing victory to the General is my sole objective.

"Oh? Brother Qin Ye, you're quite quick."

Ayato took the information about the final episode and read it carefully.

There is now a sense of unease among some people in Inazuma Castle, eliminating the possibility of spontaneous militia organization.

Brother Qin Ye, you must not get carried away and lead your troops into Daoqi City all at once.

He smiled.

However, I know that neither you nor that living goddess priestess have such thoughts, just as I don't want to be your enemy because of this.

"Thoma."

"Master, I'm here!"

"Go and refine that plan again, and while the rebels and the Heavenly Ruler are locked in a stalemate... achieve our goal."

"It was around the time the Tatalia brothers came to Inazuma..."

“That’s right, Yae no Kami has finished discussing things with me, but I didn’t expect things to develop so quickly.”

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Ayato tapped his palm with his folding fan: "By the way, whatever you do, don't drag Ayaka into this."

Naruto Shrine

Yae no Miko stood on the cliff, gazing at the distant castle tower.

"Wow, Qin Ye's actions are really swift."

Although I don't particularly like you, my new brother, your abilities are truly admirable.

If it weren't for that... Fatui Clan? They would have snatched you away first, and I would have even wanted you to work at my Narukami Shrine.

She chuckled softly.

Forget it, I won't even have a chance to stay in my position as the Palace Attendant.

After a while, her teasing expression completely disappeared, and her gaze became serious.

This time, I'm determined to achieve a permanent solution.

"La la la~ la la la~"

Columbia strolled along the beach, her singing slightly melancholic, but an unstoppable smile played on her lips.

She recalled her conversation with Qin Ye.

"Qin, I can do it for you."

The girl tugged at Qin Ye's sleeve.

The other person seemed to understand her meaning and smiled to reassure her.

“I know what you’re trying to say, but since I’m the one in charge of this project, I have to be the one to face the most insurmountable wall.”

"Logically speaking, I have the best chance of winning."

"When facing life and death, I've never been completely rational when dealing with my own people. Don't worry, everything will go smoothly; I have a feeling that way."
