I write novels in Liyue

What kind of immense power could possibly accomplish this...?

He couldn't imagine...

But he felt he was about to experience it!

Although I don't know the reason...

However, I cannot sit idly by and wait for my doom.

Just as he gritted his teeth, trying to struggle with all his might, the overwhelming killing intent that enveloped him vanished instantly after General Thunder took his last step.

It did not fade away like ice and snow melting or tides rising and falling, but rather seemed as if it had never existed at all.

Only the cold sweat covering his body told him that everything that had just happened was real.

Thomas froze on the spot, not understanding the general's intentions.

"That was punishment."

Ying glanced at Thomas indifferently and said, "Since it's a haunted house, you need to make that clear outside the shop and remind tourists who aren't paying attention that this is a haunted house, understand?"

"Ming...understand."

Thomas said, somewhat taken aback.

"I have destroyed many of the talismans; you will need to rearrange them."

Ying said calmly, "Also, child labor is prohibited."

"understood."

Although Thomas looked puzzled, he quickly agreed.

After saying this, Ying nodded to the crowd and left.

Watching Ying's retreating figure, Thomas looked on in confusion, completely bewildered as to what the general had come for...

Is it just to remind myself not to lure people in and scare them?

But how could such a trivial matter have alarmed the General?

He couldn't understand...

Moreover, judging from the general's demeanor, it seems he knew about this from the beginning and came here personally to verify it...

Then the problem is coming...

Who could possibly persuade the General...?

And... what does it mean to use child labor...?

As he wondered what was going on, he saw a small figure slip out of the room.

It's an early pomelo.

When I was slacking off today, that woman caught me and made me use ninjutsu to conjure up a little devil to work inside...

She was terrified.

Fortunately, the general arrived and rescued her from her misery.

She desperately needs a good night's sleep to heal her wounded heart.

When Tom was about to ask Zaoyou how she ended up inside, she suddenly pushed off the ground and disappeared into the bushes.

Thomas was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

Although I don't know what happened, the general's statement about not using child labor should refer to Zaoyou.

Not only that, but many tourists also gathered around. They had no idea what Thomas had just gone through. Seeing Thomas covered in sweat, they thought he was weak.

After Thomas explained the concept of a haunted house, they became incredibly excited and all wanted to go inside and experience it for themselves.

"Hey sir, how much does it cost here? I want to buy a ticket to go inside. I've read so many horror novels, and I'm really excited to actually have the chance to see a lifelike ghost..."

"Me too, me too, I really want to see what the ghosts in the stories look like with my own eyes."

"What's the point of looking at the scenery at home? It can't be as exciting as watching a ghost."

"I'm going to bring my wife along. She'll be so scared that she'll run into my arms and then she'll have to sleep with me all night."

"Me too. I'm going to invite my boyfriend over, and then I'll pretend to be scared and crawl into his arms. Then at night, I'll pretend to be scared and sleep while hugging him."

……

……

P.S.: Waaah, I'm late again. There will be another update later...

Chapter 384 Inazuma Blows Up the Carriage

Listening to the expectant discussions of the crowd, Thomas fell into deep thought, then let out a long sigh and stopped thinking about what had just happened between the General and Zaoyou.

"Everyone, Dream Kingdom... well... also known as the Haunted House, at the General's request, still needs some improvements, so it will not officially open until tomorrow."

Thomas wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then forced a smile and said, "Everyone can contact those who want to come along, and then we can all come together tomorrow."

"Since it was General who made the request, let's wait a little longer."

"Perfect, I can go back and lie to... and appease my wife."

"Don't even think about it. I remember your sister-in-law is most afraid of this kind of thing... Remember last time on your birthday, you asked me to dress up as a ghost with you at home to scare her? But your sister-in-law just happened to have bought you a new knife as a gift. When she saw us, she panicked and pulled out the knife. She almost chopped us in half with one blow."

"Ahem, this was obviously an accident. Besides, I was planning to give her a boar skin bag, a Mondstadt specialty, called the Heart of Mondstadt, to coax her to come along. To be honest, I'm doing this for the sake of our relationship."

"I'm not getting involved in this, lest I get splattered with blood. After what happened last time, my sister-in-law's eyes have been as fierce as a Hilichurl's. If I dare to speak up for you again this time, she'll definitely not let me come to your house to play anymore. Besides, my sister-in-law really likes Fang Qiu's books. It's one thing for you to give her a bag made of wild boar skin, but if she finds out that you named the wild boar skin bag Mondstadt Heart, you can prepare to be bedridden for three days straight."

"Can't get out of bed for three days? Isn't that perfect?"

"I mean you were beaten so badly you couldn't get out of bed for three days..."

"If Thomas's haunted house works well, I might consider not selling his dishes at three times the price."

"Me too. I quite like ghost stories, and I hope this will surprise me."

Everyone expressed their understanding.

After everyone left, Thomas looked back at the half-open, heavy door and felt a headache coming on.

What kind of mess is this...?

"Forget it, I'd better contact the head of the family and Yae no Miyaji as soon as possible."

After Thomas had the other employees watch over the store, he left.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ying walked to a secluded spot, took a step, and instantly transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, disappearing from the spot.

When she reappeared, she was already in the maple forest.

"You're back."

Yae no Miko sat on the stone bench, poured herself a cup of wine, crossed one leg over the other, took a small sip, then looked up at Kage, a mischievous glint in her fox eyes, and said, "Why do I feel like you're a little disappointed to see me? That's really disheartening."

"I came because I sensed your presence."

Ying said calmly, "How long until that so-called animation you mentioned starts?"

"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon. Speaking of which, when we were building the photo studio, I specially designed a private room just for you, General."

Yae Kamiko said with a smile.

"For the General's exclusive use?"

Ying glanced at Yae no Miko indifferently, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Yes, it took me a lot of thought."

Yae no Miko nodded, took another sip of wine, and said, "This wine is really good."

"When I'm not here, will you sit here?"

Ying crossed her arms and said.

"The private rooms are just sitting empty anyway, so there's no need to waste them."

Yae no Miko waved her hand with a smile and said, "But don't worry, when I use it, it will be the private box reserved for the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine. I have no interest in the position of general, after all, that requires taking on responsibilities, and I hate that the most."

"Lead the way."

Ying glanced helplessly at Yae no Miko and said.

"it is good."

Yae no Miko stretched and nodded.

"By the way, did you see a very beautiful white-haired girl in the maple forest today?"

"I've met you."

How are you feeling?

"We had a fairly pleasant conversation. But since you brought her up, you should know her, right? What's her name?"

"I don't know either. I just happened to see her walking towards the maple forest, so I asked you."

Why ask her?

"Well, last night when I was drinking, I chatted with a bard in Mondstadt about the local customs and culture. I found out that there's something called idols there, which are singers and dancers. I'm thinking about whether to create an idol group centered around that white-haired girl."

"A singing and dancing performance?"

"That's right, for example, singing Fang Qiu's songs, such as 'June Rain,' 'Always Quiet,' and 'Sigh of Leisure.'"

"You deliberately chose these song titles, didn't you?"

"How could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of person? So, are you interested?"

“Learning the strengths of other countries’ cultures is a step towards change. Besides, even if I don’t think it’s good, you’ll still do it anyway.”

"You know me best, but there are some obstacles. I need to think of a solution. Let's go to the photo studio first."

"Ah."

The two walked toward the newly built photo studio while talking.
