Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

"Miss Divine Child, please forgive me."

At a distance of five or six meters, the raging lightning element locked onto the Eightfold Divine Child.

Su Yu's strength was comparable to that of the Seven Gods, and the Eighth-Level Divine Child could not withstand it. His Great Priestess Robe was instantly torn apart by an invisible force.

The Heart of God was drawn out of his body and fell into Su Yu's hands.

Her voluptuous body was exposed, pure white and smooth as jade, radiating an alluring glow.

Her long, cherry-pink hair clung tightly to her skin, adding to her allure.

Yae no Miko clutched her chest, her breathing rapid, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes misty with tears.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

In an instant, feelings of grievance, panic, shyness, and anger all surfaced in her mind.

Yae no Miko squatted down and cried sadly.

Accustomed to the harshness of winter, Su Yu was almost immune to the cries of any woman, and his mind remained calm and undisturbed.

Now that he had obtained the Heart of God, Inazuma's mission was over, and he intended to leave.

However, hearing Yae no Miko's aggrieved sobs, I ultimately felt it necessary to offer her some comfort.

A falling out with Yae no Miko will be detrimental to the future actions of the Fools and to the relations between the two countries.

Furthermore, this Heart of God was practically stolen outright. If the Eightfold Divine Child were to tell other countries, those countries would be prepared, which would inevitably increase the difficulty of acquiring the Hearts of God from each country.

“My divine child, one of my principles is to seek an equivalent exchange. The Heart of God is very precious. The spatial ring I am giving you is far from enough to compensate for its value. You can make up for it with something else.”

"Easy for you to say. The Heart of God is unique; what will you offer in return?"

At this moment, Yae no Miko adjusted his emotions, used his divine power to change into a new set of clothes, and Su Yu also removed the blindfold from his eyes.

"I'll take you to see someone first."

Su Yu said slowly.

"Is this Prince Zhidong's special way of coaxing girls...?"

Yae no Miko muttered to herself as she immediately followed in Su Yu's footsteps.

The two teleported to Konta Village.

Upon arriving at the celestial fox statue at the village entrance, a mysterious witch wearing a fox mask stood quietly there.

Her name is Hana Sanri.

"You're from Narukami Taisha? I've never seen you before."

Yae Shenzi said doubtfully.

She personally interviewed all the young shrine maidens at Narukami Shrine, and she knew exactly who the young shrine maidens were, including those who left or retired.

But judging from her size and appearance, I've never seen this little witch before.

The strangest thing was that the fox mask on her face seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place it.

"We finally meet again... Sigh, but you're not the one I've been waiting for."

The familiar voice startled Yae no Miko.

"Lord Fox Abbot?"

Her voice trembled with excitement.

"Little Fox."

A warm greeting from the flower-strewn crowd.

Yae no Miko rushed up and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her shoulder and weeping sadly.

"Lord Fox Palace, you lied to me. I don't want fried tofu, I just want you back. The position of High Priestess is yours again... Waaaaah..."

Five hundred years ago, darkness descended, and Inazuma faced a life-or-death crisis.

At that time, Yae no Miko was still young and unable to help Kosai-gyu resist the darkness, which became her greatest regret.

“Little fox, you’ve grown up now, and I’m very pleased. I’ve been watching you from the shadows, and Narukami Shrine has developed even better under your leadership. You haven’t let me down.”

"But this body only inherited a quarter of my memories and mind. She has a special mission and is waiting here for the arrival of the destined person."

Yae no Miko gradually calmed down.

"The destined one?"

"Alas, I have forgotten many things. I can't remember what 'destined person' really means. I only know that I must continue to wait until my destined person arrives, and only then will my mission be complete. At that time, I will disappear completely from the world."

“Little fox, you don’t need to be sad. Today you and yesterday I are both working hard for Inazuma’s safety and happiness. You are my legacy.”

"I am parting from you, and I know not when I will return. I am like morning dew, fleeting in an instant."

After saying that, Hana Sanri's body gradually became transparent and disappeared from the spot.

"Lord Fox Palace!"

Yae no Miko shouted to those around her.

Her sorrowful voice echoed through the quiet village of Konta, but no reply could be heard from Hana-san.

"Miss Miko, let's go see someone else."

Su Yu patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.

Chapter 15 The Promise to Inazuma

The destined person that Hanashiri is waiting for is the traveler, Ying.

But Su Yu couldn't tell her, because it might affect Ying's fate.

It's still Konta Village.

Su Yu led the Eightfold Divine Child to an ancient mansion.

Judging from the ancient walls and tiles, it has a history of at least four or five hundred years.

The plaque above the gate reads "Imperial Carriage".

"This is the ancestral home of the Miyu family. The first owner was named Miyu Michiki, who was the eldest son of Miyu Chiyo."

Su Yu introduced her to him.

"So she's a descendant of Chiyo-neechan..."

Yae no Miko gazed at the ancient doorway, her heart surging with emotion.

Mikoto Chiyo, a proud and aloof demon girl with a face like the moon, was once the closest comrade-in-arms of the Thunder Movie, along with Kitsune-sai-miya and Sasa-yuri.

When disaster struck, he was devoured by an evil beast. He escaped by tearing open the beast's chest, but became infected with filth and lost his mind. He became mentally twisted and had a hideous face, and even launched an attack on Lei Movie.

She used her sharp teeth to bite through Lei Yingdian's naginata, but was ultimately cut off by Lei Yingdian, losing her arm and the sharp horns on her head.

Out of consideration for their past relationship, Lei deliberately spared her life.

They fled into the forest and encountered the eldest son, Yu Yu Dao Qi.

Miyu Doki did not recognize the person in front of him as his mother, mistaking her for a demon, and killed her.

Mikoto Chiyo ultimately met a tragic end at the hands of her own son.

Yae no Miko remembered that Lord Kitsuri once said that he hoped her beauty, bravery, and demeanor would be praised by people a thousand years from now.

Unfortunately, the world has long forgotten that she ever existed.

“Prince Zhidong, what is your purpose in bringing me here? Unlike Lady Kitsune, Chiyo truly perished, leaving not even a trace of consciousness behind. Her descendants have had their demon bloodline diluted over generations, and today they are no different from normal humans.”

"Come with me."

Using their divine power, the two teleported to the underground secret chamber of the old house.

In the center sits an ancient longsword, its blade engraved with the "Thunder Triple Tomoe" design—a weapon made for the Thunder movie.

The only person in the Mikoto family to have ever obtained a weapon made by the Emperor was Mikoto Chiyo.

"Is this Chiyo's sword?"

Yae no Miko immediately recognized the origin of the longsword.

"Back then, after killing Miyuki Chiyo, Miyuki recognized his mother's identity through her sword and sealed a part of her remaining consciousness into this sword."

Su Yu channeled his lightning element to its fullest extent to stimulate the longsword, causing it to emit a faint light and a gentle sound.

"You're that little pink fox? Hey, you're even wearing the high priestess's outfit! So, Fox Maiden still gave you the Narukami Grand Social Club? By the way, where's that guy who loves to smoke?"

Fox Palace liked to smoke and always had a pipe in his hand.

"Lord Fox-Sai-no-miya was swallowed by darkness while protecting Inazuma."

Yae no Miko's eyes were blurry with tears.

"She is still so great."

Mikoto Chiyo remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

"Is she alright? She must be so sad to lose us."

Yae no Miko knew that this time the question was about Lei's movie.

"In pursuit of eternal solitude, Shadow secluded himself in a pure land of the heart, entering a state of deathly stillness devoid of sorrow, joy, thought, and desire. Five hundred years have passed, and he has never stepped out of there even once."

Mikoto Chiyo fell silent once again.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke again.

"Shadow is punishing herself, torturing herself. If she were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want her to be like this. This last vestige of my will can't last much longer. Can I go see her?"

The remaining power of Mikoto Chiyo condensed into a physical form.

But not the young and beautiful her, but the hideous form ravaged by filth.

His eyes glowed crimson, his face was contorted with hatred and pain, and his whole body exuded an aura of evil.

"Little fox, do you think Shadow would want to see me like this?"

Yae no Miko nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
