Genshin Impact, I, a mere mortal, cannot accompany you to the very end.

Why do you think we should help you?

She said slowly.

"From the moment you stepped onto this land, from the moment you entered the company, from the moment you arbitrarily opened the documents, forgive my bluntness, but although you are dressed in a magnificent gown, you carry the arrogance of a barbarian in your bones, just like your barbaric and rude country."

...

Icy.

A chilling atmosphere began to linger. This was the first time the lady had looked directly at the girl in front of her—the girl was thin and frail, dressed in a plain white dress, like a delicate white flower.

A blizzard swept across the sky, and a biting wind began to rage through the cramped room. The domineering aura of a woman spread along with the cold wind, pressing down on everyone's backs, and the chill seeped into their very bones.

But the white flower stood tall in the cold wind.

"The Society will find the person you are looking for."

Linghua chuckled softly in the cold wind, then winked mischievously with her right eye. "But we won't tell you where he is. Instead, we'll hide him so you'll never find him again."

"What is your purpose in doing this?" The woman's voice turned completely cold.

"Without any purpose."

Although Ayaka was smiling, her tone was calm. "Perhaps causing trouble is our purpose. This is revenge for your arrogance. Just thinking about it makes me happy as long as you fail to complete your mission."

As it turns out, an old rogue can train a young rogue. Princess Bailu is elegant and follows etiquette, but deep down she is a traditional warrior.

“...You are provoking the Fools.” The woman stared at her. “You know what the consequences will be.”

“You are the one provoking us.” Ayaka’s tone was low, but it carried a deep, powerful force. “You are provoking the Shahouei, you are provoking the entire Inazuma.”

She met the woman's gaze directly. Within the slender frame of this delicate and elegant young lady, beneath the pale blue of her eyes... seemed to gleam with a hidden, thunderous light.

"Inazuma has endured this humiliation for far too long."

"You've pushed for the isolationist policy, bribed officials to comply, and stirred up trouble... You've done far too many arrogant things since the Pillar of State left,"

She looked calmly at the woman and said, "You have insulted us, and I cannot accept this insult."

"Because this is the Inazuma he entrusted to us... to the next generation,"

Ayaka Kamisato bit her thin lips, her gaze growing even more intense. She confronted the woman's terrifying aura, showing no sign of being weaker.

“‘I’m leaving the rest to you’—that’s what he once told me.”

"He also said, 'Stop your enemy from doing what they want to do, no matter what it is,' so whatever you do in the future, the Society's magistrate will always stand in your way."

"Pillar of State?" The woman gave a cold sneer. "That useless old man who died of old age?"

“If I die, I can no longer support your country.”

Ayaka Kamisato remained silent.

She simply stared calmly into the woman's eyes, observing her with a quiet gaze, devoid of any extraneous emotion, yet a thunderous roar erupted from the silence.

"You may leave now."

Ayaka Kamisato said softly:

"see a visitor out."

-

Two hours later.

The night was already deep.

Qing Nuoyan was completely unaware of the series of struggles that occurred within the society.

He had no idea that he was wanted by both the Fools and the Society's magistrate...

It seems that, in the eyes of the lady and Ayaka Kamisato, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts and smuggled himself in...

But the truth is that he was extorted by the authorities and couldn't get a travel permit, so he was an unregistered resident and couldn't register.

Miss Ying is currently having a headache over the pass issue.

How could he know so much!

The woman wanted to uncover Kiyono-an's identity by investigating the corruption perpetrated by Inazuma, but it was precisely because of the corruption that Kiyono-an perfectly concealed his true identity...

This is practically a hellish joke!

For Qing Nuoyan, the most important thing right now is how to deal with the ravenous, predatory Miss Ying in front of him...

From the moment he brought Miss Ying to the Kiyono Tofu Shop, he knew that his fate was slowly turning to hell.

Ying's smile was calm, and it had always been calm.

It was so calm...it was frightening.

"Who is she?" Ying stared expressionlessly at the fox-like girl kneeling in front of Qing Nuoyan.

Miss Fox was very languid, lying lazily on the desk with her two fox ears drooping down. She sat on her snow-white ankles and lazily yawned.

"She is..." Qing Nuoyan began to explain, "She's Inazuma's friend's assistant, she is..."

She was a shrine maiden, a tofu shop owner, and a kind Inazuma Hana who could help him cleanse himself of impurities—that was the explanation Qingnuoyan had intended...

But to everyone's surprise, the Eightfold Divine Child tilted his head, narrowed his long eyes, stared at Ying, interrupted Qing Nuoyan's words, and said smugly:

"I am his fox sister."

She wiped it off, and added, "If you don't believe me, go ask him."

...

Ying's expressionless gaze shifted from Miss Fox to Qing Nuoyan.

"When did you get an older sister?"

...

Qingnuoyan felt betrayed by Inazuma's friend. Sure enough, the Japanese are the Japanese, treacherous, cunning and despicable. Inazuma's flower girl is just like that!

"Has the permit issue been resolved?" he abruptly changed the subject.

“No.” Ying sat down next to Qing Nuoyan. Her face remained calm, but her slender, pale fingers had already pinched the flesh on the latter’s waist. She glanced at Qing Nuoyan lightly, leaving him with a look that said, ‘You’re doomed when you get back.’

"I have no money." She said it frankly and openly.

Qing Nuoyan felt a pain in his waist. He wanted to argue, but he knew he was in the wrong—he was full, but Miss Ying was still hungry. So he stood up and said, "I'll go get you something to eat."

He slipped away from the desk and headed straight for the kitchen, leaving only Ying and Miss Fox by the stove.

The scene immediately fell silent.

The night was deep, and a bleak night wind was blowing.

"You are Ying?" Miss Fox asked lazily, resting her chin on her hand.

"Where did this vixen come from?" Ying said succinctly.

"Where did this blond guy come from?" Miss Fox said succinctly.

Yellow hair, yellow hair, yellow hair!

Ying's smile was no longer friendly.

Why does everyone she meets seem to have a problem with her hair color?!

She slowly exhaled, thinking to herself that she needed to calm down. Their current situation was sensitive, and they couldn't afford to provoke anyone else. "...I heard from Qing Nuoyan that you can help us? The Divine Cherry Great Exorcism?"

"I, Lady Miyaji, am very powerful." The goddess proudly raised her chin and said, "I am the High Priestess of Kamisakura Island! Unlike some blond-haired guy, I can't even afford a travel pass."

"When will the ceremony take place?" Ying tried hard not to get angry.

“It will be in the next few days,” Miss Fox said.

She wanted to say something more, but the fox's ears twitched, as if it had heard something.

A very noisy sound.

It was a knock on the door.

A patrolling samurai.

"Master, we've received reports that unidentified stowaways have arrived in Konta Village. They seem to be from Liyue. Have you seen them?"

-

P.S.: Updated!

Chapter 120 Sister Fox Wants You to Stay Here

"—Master, we've received reports that an unidentified stowaway seems to have arrived in Konta Village. He appears to be from Liyue. Have you seen him?"

A samurai's respectful voice came from outside the window. Obviously, Miss Ying's face froze. She frantically shook her head at Miss Yae no Miko, her golden hair swaying in the air like a frightened little canary.

She parted her thin lips slightly, but didn't utter a sound, only mouthing: "No, don't, say, it, out."

Ying looked slightly flustered, acting like a secret agent. The Imperial Army was right outside; if she got caught, she was finished. She'd definitely be kicked out of Inazuma!

Little Paimon, sitting on her shoulder, covered his mouth and blinked his big eyes, making a "waaaah" sound.

Oh ~

Miss Fox revealed a slightly mischievous expression.

She crossed her two slender, white index fingers together, making a cross gesture, and said in a low, lazy voice, "Dah, meow."

Ugh... that cunning pink-haired fox spirit.

Ying gritted her teeth angrily, making a threatening sound like a small animal.

“It seems that one has arrived—that’s what he said.” Miss Fox’s voice wasn’t loud, but she emphasized the word “one,” as if to stress something. “It is one.”

"He's only looking for one person."

How infuriating!

Ying instantly understood what Yae no Miko meant—this guy probably wanted to offer himself up to the Imperial Army!

That fox, Inazuma Hana, is so cunning!

She could already imagine what would happen: she would be kicked out of Inazuma, while Qing Nuoyan would stay here, and then, and then... and then it would be the flower girl's turn to work!
