He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Wu Di was taken aback by Yae no Miko's request, wondering why so many people wanted him to take off his mask.

Despite thinking that way, I still granted Yae no Miko's request.

Chapter 99 The Value of Taking the First Strike

Wu Di removed the fox mask from his face, tidied his appearance, and then openly revealed himself to the two of them.

Clearly, Wu Di's exaggerated appearance stunned Daocheng Yingmei on the spot, leaving her dumbfounded.

However, as a divine child with hundreds of years of experience, he quickly recovered and excitedly grabbed Wu Di's hand, speaking excitedly.

"Interested in being the protagonist in a novel?"

"I've also thought of a name."

"Let's call it 'With such beauty, I'm still invincible?'"

"So? Interested?"

It seems that Yae no Miko's professional habit has kicked in, even though Wu Di's appearance is indeed very suitable to be the protagonist of a novel.

"Um, sorry, I don't have time."

Faced with Yae no Kami's enthusiasm, Wu Di shook his head. Back in Liyue, his image of wearing a mask had already spread to the streets and alleys through storytelling and opera.

Fortunately, my true appearance was not exposed, otherwise it would have been a real headache.

There was no other way to deal with things like that in Liyue before; the company failed once and that was it. Why would they do it a second time? No way.

"Is that so? That's a real shame. If someone with your looks were cast as the main character, they would definitely be a huge hit."

Wu Di's refusal puzzled Yae no Miko, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't even try to pull a fast one, since the person in front of her was Gan Yu's sweetheart.

If I were to be influenced by her husband's pillow talk, then this friendship would be nearing its end. I still value my friendship with Sister Gan Yu very much.

"No, no, things are more important."

To avoid being killed by the police again, Wu Di shook his head like a rattle drum.

Their firm stance left Yae no room for attack.

Barbara's little nose was practically pointing to the sky, and she looked quite smug.

For her, the more popular Wu Di was, the more valuable her first time was.

Do you even understand the value of striking first? (Tilts head back)

(I never imagined that the little fox from back then would grow up to be such a graceful young woman, and even take over the position of the Fox Palace and become the Palace Master.)

At this moment, Lei Dianzhen's words echoed in Wu Di's mind, his tone filled with nostalgia.

It was as if I saw that little pink fox that used to love snuggling in my arms back then.

(Raiden Shin, do you know this Yae no Miko?)

(Of course, even when she was a little fox, she loved to stick close to me.)

(However, you don't need to say my name, just call me Zhen.)

(Oh, okay, Zhen, do you want to come out and see her?)

Wu Di's words really appealed to Lei Dianzhen, because Gui Zhong had just told her that she could use Wu Di's body.

It would be perfectly fine for her to be able to touch her sister again and talk to her.

However, considering Inazuma's current situation, Raiden suppressed her excitement and decided to go and see for herself.

Go and see where Inazuma's problems lie. It won't be a problem if we meet again. After all, I'm right here. It's only a matter of time before I see Yae no Miko and my sister again.

(No, let's meet after I see Inazuma with my own eyes.)

Raiden's response was very serious, but it also concealed a hint of melancholy.

However! It is up to her, as the older sister, to resolve the mistakes her younger sister made!

Before Wu Di could respond to Raiden's words, Yae no Miko in front of him spoke up.

"In that case, where is the person you're looking for? Is there a specific area in mind?"

Wu Di paused for a moment, sensing the location of that inner calling, before speaking.

"Judging from the location, it's in the direction of Ba Niang Island, but I'll have to go and see for myself to find out exactly where it is."

"Is that so? If we can find it in the direction of Hachiyū Island, that would be fine, but I'm afraid..."

"Afraid?"

"It's nothing. I'll tell you some information because of Sister Gan Yu."

Wu Di was intrigued by Yae no Miko's words. Could there be some inside information?

Immediately afterwards, Yae no Miko told Wu Di about her experiences on Hachiyū Island and Tatarasa.

The inner core of the Mikage furnace in the Tatakasa is currently extremely unstable due to some reasons, and there is a constant threat of explosion. However, the only thing to do now is to seal it to prevent outsiders from getting close.

Because of the influence of the Shadow Furnace Core, the interior has become a place where the lightning element is extremely active. Even those who possess the Lightning-attribute Eye of God cannot withstand it, let alone ordinary people.

If Tatsumura still has room for adjustment at Narukami Taisha, then on Hachiyū Island, much of it has already been declared dead.

On the island of Ba Niang lies the remains of the dead demon god Orobas. Even though the demon god is dead, the venerable gods that have sprung from his "corpse" continue to plague the people who come after him.

However, Narukami Taisha later suppressed and sealed these deities, and as long as the protective objects were not destroyed, the seal could have lasted for a long time.

However, recently the protective barrier was destroyed by someone, and the deity that had been suppressed for hundreds of years broke the seal and wreaked havoc on Bayun Island.

Furthermore, because of its proximity to the rebels, Narukami Taisha was unable to send anyone to suppress the worshippers again.

Therefore, Bayun Island is extremely dangerous now, and no one can survive there, not even the possessor of the Eye of God.

As Yae no Miko spoke, she looked at Barbara and Wu Di in front of her.

Wu Di fell into deep thought. It seemed that Inazuma's condition was much worse than he had anticipated.

I may not be afraid of the threats from those named Chongshen and Mikage Rakushin, but...

As Wu Di pondered, he looked at Barbara beside him. He was worried about whether he could protect her at all times. He feared that a moment of negligence on his part would lead to an irreversible outcome...

Barbara seemed to know what Wu Di was thinking, took his hand, and whispered something.

"Since it's so dangerous, I'll just stay here."

"However, Xiao Di, you need to be careful and come back quickly."

Barbara didn't want to be the one holding Wu Di back, so she took the initiative to let go.

The reason I can't be by his side is ultimately because I'm not strong enough. It seems I need to work twice as hard!

"I understand."

Barbara's understanding made Wu Di nod and then smile, instantly easing the tension.

This gave Yae no Miko a sense of unease, and a pleased smile appeared on her face as she thought to herself.

(It seems that Sister Gan Yu didn't win over Mr. Wu Di.)

(They were even in a period of competition for resources.)

(Wouldn't that make for some fun?)

Chapter 100 We'll see each other again soon.

Yae no Miko's joyful expression flashed by for a moment, but she quickly returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor.

"In that case, Barbara can stay at Narukami Shrine. I will take good care of her, so don't worry."

"Yes, thank you."

"Alright, let's not delay any longer, you should get ready to leave."

Yae no Miko's somewhat urging words made Wu Di turn his attention back to Barbara, and he led her to a corner.

Then he took the Rubik's Cube from his body and began to speak softly.

"Rubik's Cube, wake up, I need to ask you for a favor."

A moment later, the Rubik's Cube responded, looking as if it had just woken up.

"Hmm—? What is it?"

"I want you to help me protect Barbara because I've been away from her for a while and I'm a little worried."

"So I want you to protect her for me for the time being."

"Okay, no problem, I agree. In human terms, that means paying rent."

Rubik's Cube readily agreed to Wu Di's request. After all, they had enjoyed it for so long, so it was only natural to give back in return.

"Thank you."

Wu Di said something, and then hung the Rubik's Cube around Barbara's neck like a necklace; it actually looked quite nice and matched her well.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, I will take responsibility to protect you."

Watching Barbara interact with the Rubik's Cube in a friendly manner, Wu Di smiled and then waved.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

……

Watching Wu Di leave, Barbara felt a little reluctant, but she still couldn't accept going along to be just a pretty face.

(I need to work harder from now on!)

Barbara silently cheered herself up, and then Yae no Miko came to her side and spoke.

"Interested in experiencing the life of a shrine maiden?"

"Ugh?"
