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

Therefore, she dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately accepted the order and left.

Nana Kano reported, "Lord Kyoji, I have found out everything you asked me to inquire about. Prince Shito has indeed partnered with the gambling den, and now the entrance to the gambling den is packed with people, and everyone's enthusiasm for betting is extremely high."

Yae no Miko flicked her sleeves: "I understand, you can go back now."

Once Kano Nana disappeared from sight, Yae no Miko covered her mouth and giggled: "His Highness chose to cooperate with the gambling dens, which he despises most, in order to win the business war in Liyue as soon as possible. Men's principles are truly worthless, broken in an instant, don't you think? Shadow."

The purple-clad figure slowly turned around upon hearing the sound.

Those purple pupils seemed to flash with lightning.

"The World Tree of Sumeru and our Inazuma's Divine Cherry Tree have both fallen ill... Under the corruption of the Abyss's power, the continent of Teyvat is becoming increasingly unstable. Prince Winter feels a strong sense of urgency and has used some special means to obtain Morax's Heart of God. You and I should understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Yingdian's body vanished into nothingness and gradually faded away.

"Alright, I should go back now. If I stay here too long, the general will notice."

Chapter 156 Foolish and Rich

"aware?"

Yae no Miko chuckled: "You knew Kujo Sara was coming, yet you didn't hide yourself, but instead deliberately showed your back. Aren't you worried that she'll go to the castle tower to verify with the shogun?"

She was talking to Ray when Kujo Sara arrived.

Lei didn't avoid the situation in time. If she hadn't come up with a quick-thinking excuse, Kujo Sara would definitely have become suspicious.

Lei Yingdong sneered, "Even Prince Zhidong knows about my involvement in the Pure Land of One Heart, so it can no longer be called a secret. Kujo Sara and the others will find out the truth sooner or later. Why not take this opportunity to test General Lei Dian's vigilance?"

Yae no Miko scolded, "General Raiden carries your entire will. She knows you sneaked out and will definitely kill you. In your current state, you are no match for her. Go back, you busy person. You finally managed to sneak out of the Pure Land of One Heart, and you didn't even spend more time talking to me."

"With the merciless light of the rice paddies, love is shattered; with a solitary heart, a pure land is forged. In these long years, the path to eternity is dark and distant..."

The sound of Lei's movie echoed in her mind, then vanished in an instant.

Lei Yingdian sneaked out of the Pure Land of One Heart, much to Yae Miko's surprise and delight. The two of them hadn't had a face-to-face chat like this in a long time.

But she was thinking more about Su Yu.

Lei is stubborn and opinionated, and she likes to get stuck on things. She will carry out her beliefs with the utmost determination and will never allow anyone to change them.

But since her last meeting with Su Yu, Ying's thoughts and beliefs have clearly been changed.

She really didn't know what Su Yu and Lei Yingdian had talked about. If she could meet Prince Zhidong next time, she would definitely ask him in person.

Thinking of this, Yae no Miko frowned.

The strong smell of decaying cherry trees filled the air.

The increasing frequency of the Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification is definitely not a good thing; it may even mean that a great calamity is about to befall the continent of Teyvat.

Five hundred years ago, before the dark calamity invaded Inazuma, the Divine Cherry Tree also emitted a decaying smell.

Judging from all indications, even if Prince Winter doesn't lead the rebellion against the laws of nature, the peaceful days for the people of Teyvat are numbered.

She gazed at a white fox statue hidden by branches and grass in the distance, and involuntarily thought of Fox Prince again, muttering to herself, "Hundreds of years have passed, and I have only lived for Lord Fox Prince, while Kage has protected Inazuma for Raiden Shin. Chaos may be on the horizon, and Kage and I bear heavy responsibilities, just like those of our departed loved ones. History seems to be endlessly repeating itself; is this our destiny?"

"It is a matter of life and death, and whether we like it or not, we have to think about and explore the future path of Inazuma and the entire continent. However, throughout history, attempts to explore the essence of this world have all ended in failure. The tragedy of Canria serves as a constant reminder to future generations that we must never easily challenge the world order."

"Fortunately, someone in this era has already taken the lead and made a promise to me. He will overturn the laws of nature and establish a new world order, and the old people will be resurrected..."

As Yae no Miko recalled that passionate night, a blush crept onto her pretty face.

"The Rock King Emperor's divine power is unparalleled in the world. His Divine Heart must be difficult to obtain. I'll lend you a hand."

Yae no Miko reappeared on the street outside Narukami Taisha Shrine.

As for her appearance, she had become an ordinary woman, wearing a simple dress, with a pale yellow face that still showed signs of immaturity.

Inazuma's gambling den is located in a secluded alley.

Early in the morning, people came in droves to place bets, almost all of them there for the Liyue Go tournament.

Prince Zhidong's reputation always attracted a large number of customers.

The vast majority of people bet on the prince to lose.

There's no way around it; the title of "Chess Master" best of Liyue is not just for show. He is the undisputed number one in Teyvat. Even the most loyal fans of the Prince wouldn't blindly place bets when faced with real financial gains.

Yae no Miko also heard rumors that the Go tournament was a conspiracy by Prince Shifu to exploit his fame and make money.

She just laughed it off after hearing it.

Upon reaching the counter, she said, "Buy Prince Dongsheng, one billion Mora."

"Young lady, do you know how much one billion Mora is? It's enough to buy an entire street nearby."

The salesman, seeing that she was dressed plainly and didn't look like a rich girl from a wealthy family, assumed she was joking.

Yae no Miko immediately took out a bankbook: "There are 1 billion Mora on it, hurry up and process the transaction."

The salesperson's smile froze, then his mouth instantly lit up with a wide grin.

This is the highest single transaction amount since the business opened today.

Moreover, these gullible, wealthy buyers are the most welcome customers for gambling dens.

Although the odds are carefully calculated and generally do not result in losses, if everyone bets on the "immortal" to win, their profits will be too small.

Only when more buyers bet on Prince Winter to win, and the odds for Prince Winter to win decrease, will the casino's profits be maximized.

The salesperson quickly completed the transaction, fearing that Yae no Kamiko might change her mind.

"It's all done. Please wait patiently for the lottery results. By the way, for a big client like you, our manager usually meets with you personally, but unfortunately, he's gone to the Kingdom of Zhidong today."

Yae no Miko questioned, "Go to the Winter Kingdom? The laws of the Winter Kingdom explicitly prohibit gambling dens from operating."

The salesperson replied mysteriously, "You're a big client, so let me tell you the truth: we're operating secretly in Winterfall. You might not know this, but to cooperate with Prince Winterfall's Go tournament in Liyue, even the Winterfall Kingdom has relaxed its regulations. As long as we don't openly operate on the streets, the Winterfall Kingdom's soldiers don't care."

"I see."

The Eightfold Divine Son knows everything.

It seems that Su Yu is confident of victory, otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with the gambling house so openly, making such a big fuss about it throughout the Seven Kingdoms.

However, can winning a Go tournament really grant one the Emperor's divine heart by defeating an immortal?

Su Yu's plan piqued her intense curiosity.

Because of her leadership, the news that a billion Mora had been bet on Prince Dong's victory spread throughout Inazuma at an extremely fast pace.

As a result, people began to hesitate.

After all, if someone dares to bet a billion morana, it means they must have absolute confidence.

As a result, more people participated in the discussion and made purchases.

Yae no Miko smiled as she gazed at Liyue Harbor on the other side of the sea.

"Su Yu, how do you plan to thank me? When you come to Inazuma again next time, you must make it up to me properly."

This time, Yae no Miko did not address Prince Shifu as such, but instead called him by his full name.

Chapter 157 Stubborn to the end

The manager in charge of the gambling dens in the Inazuma area took the fastest merchant ship to the icy and snowy Winter Country.

On the very first day, I caught a cold. One moment I felt like I was in an ice cave, and the next I felt like I was being roasted in a furnace. My body was hot and cold, and I had a terrible headache.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Winter had long since developed an advanced treatment for this severe cold, and the shopkeeper was discharged the next day after a night of treatment.

When settling the bill at the hospital reception, the shopkeeper was extremely grateful, saying that the probability of surviving such a severe cold in their Inazuma was very low. He bowed to the doctor to express his gratitude, saying that it was the doctors from the Kingdom of Winter who had saved his life.

Unexpectedly, the doctor and nurses told him that if he wanted to thank anyone, he should thank His Highness the Prince, who had developed a highly effective cold medicine for treating colds and a therapy called saline injection.

He recovered so quickly because he took cold medicine and received an injection of saline solution.

The shopkeeper sensed a business opportunity and hurriedly inquired about the principle behind injecting saline solution.

He planned to introduce this treatment to Inazuma and open a clinic specializing in treating colds, which would be more profitable than running a gambling den.

In Teyvat, the pharmaceutical industry has always been extremely profitable, and no businessman can resist its allure.

The doctor said that the saline solution was mixed in a special ratio, but they didn't know the exact ratio, as it was His Highness the Prince's patent. Only then did the shopkeeper give up the idea.

However, this time he really has to thank Prince Zhidong.

It not only saved his life, but also brought him enormous wealth—

That's right, he came from Zhidong to promote the gambling den business.

The gambling business in Zhidong Kingdom has plummeted due to government crackdowns. He wants to use the Go match between Su Yu and the immortal to restore the gambling industry's influence and reputation in Zhidong Kingdom.

After navigating winding corridors and passing through deep sewers, he finally arrived at the main gambling den of the Winter Kingdom.

This is the largest shop in the Winter Kingdom; the other dozens of shops are all much smaller.

When the Kingdom of Winter suddenly announced a decree prohibiting the legal operation of gambling businesses, all operations were forced to go underground. In order to build this new branch, he applied for several hundred million Mora from the Liyue gambling headquarters in the name of the owner of the Inazuma Gambling House, and also transferred a large number of skilled salespersons to this place.

Building the casino in such a terrible environment was a last resort, as only this sewer area was outside the jurisdiction of the Winter Kingdom's laws.

This time, he plans to use the Go tournament to earn back all the money he invested, plus interest.

The new store's manager is a bald man with a hooked nose, blue eyes, and obvious mixed-race features.

Upon seeing the shopkeeper enter, they immediately and warmly led him to the reception hall at the back.

A group of scantily clad, beautiful women danced enthusiastically for him, accompanied by a live band. Several stunning women even deliberately used alluring glances to seduce him.

"I've told you many times, I don't like to celebrate with champagne too early." His face was cold, devoid of any smile, whether from a lingering cold or a terrible mood was unclear.

The bald man hurriedly replied, "For this Go tournament betting event, all the customers we lost before have returned. Not only that, but a large number of new customers have also flooded in. Our business is almost back to what it was before the ban was issued. This is definitely not premature champagne."

"Make them leave, and take the band away."

The bald man didn't know what the shopkeeper meant, but since his superior had spoken, he had no choice but to comply.

As the other people in the reception room left one after another, the shopkeeper said in a low voice, "I'm asking you, did you embezzle one hundred million Mora and use it all to buy Immortal's Victory?"

The bald man panicked, wondering which bastard had betrayed him. He hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Manager, the Liyue Immortal's win rate is as high as 99%. I used the casino's funds to place bets purely to make more money for the gambling house!"

Do you remember the first rule of the store?

The bald man sensed something was wrong; his superior was clearly there to cause trouble. He immediately repeated the rules: "Gambling house managers are absolutely not allowed to gamble in any form."
