Kombumaru's archery skills are indeed good, much better than Asase Hibiki who started from scratch, and the two often practiced in the shrine forest.
Lord Shen Zi was very unhappy about this. Lingshanfang took away Lin Ye's storytelling time, but she was just a cute and helpless little fox, and she couldn't talk to Kitsai Palace, so she was secretly sulking.
Time flies, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. General Lei Dian, who had been on the expedition, led his victorious army and returned triumphantly to his loyal Inazuma.
Kitsunesaigumi made preparations in advance. After she explained her final arrangements to her trusted priestess, she took Yae Kamiko and Hayashino to Inazuma Castle.
It was an evening afternoon. An oil lamp was lit in the house. Lin Ye was bent over his desk, writing furiously, with the Son of God curled up beside him, resting his head on his big furry tail.
There was no extra time to tell the Son of God the story, so Lin Ye found paper and ink and wrote it down.
You know, unless you have a mental sketch, the content written on the manuscript paper is much richer than oral narration. Of course, it can also be water...
Originally, Shen Zi leaned over the table and poked her little head out. Every time Lin Ye wrote a word, she would look at it. Occasionally, her tail would swing around and touch Lin Ye's cheek, making him feel itchy.
"You're blocking me."
"Have it?"
"You're blocking the light."
“…Hmm.”
"Then you should write well for Master Shenzi."
Yae Shinto yawned, jumped off the table, took small steps, and walked to a place not too far from the forest to take a nap. After a while, he really fell asleep, breathing softly and steadily.
The sliding door was opened from the outside, and Lin Ye thought that the Son of God had gone out. He turned his head and saw that it was Huzhai Palace.
The environment inside the house was a little dark, and Kitsune's face was shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see clearly. His sacred golden eyes were shining, and he was wearing a white robe, red hakama, and tabi. He had white fox ears and a tail, and behind him were orange-red clouds. This scene had a certain mysterious and beautiful color.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Lin Ye asked casually.
After a month of getting along, Lin Ye is more familiar with Kitsunayagiya than Asase Hibiki, the little follower he had been studying closely with for two months.
After all, Hayashino was not a subordinate of Kitsunayagū. Although he stayed at the shrine, he paid for the accommodation and his status was equal to Kitsunayagū.
"Have you been to Inazuma Castle?" Kitsuzai Palace caught a glimpse of the sleeping God Child, lowered his voice and footsteps, and slowly walked towards the forest and whispered.
"No."
"Pack up tonight. Tomorrow, Sister Saimiya will take you to the Inazuma capital to see the world. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet the General. This is a rare opportunity."
"Is General Thunder coming back?"
Hu Zhaigong nodded slightly.
"We have won a victory. After all, the general personally led the battle. A victory must be celebrated with a banquet. As the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, I cannot be absent."
"…it is good."
One of the important reasons why Hayashino stayed at the Naruto Shrine was to make it convenient for him to meet Raiden Shin, but he was still surprised that Kitsunayori would easily bring him, a foreign traveler, to attend the banquet of the Inazuma upper class.
Hu Zhaigong saw the doubts in Lin Ye's heart, and looked at him with flickering eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking about. After a while, he spoke.
"Are you wondering why I asked you to come? Because I plan to recommend you to the General. Hayashino, do you want to stay in Inazuma? With your martial arts, it is not difficult to become a hatamoto general of the General. In other words, it is easy."
"Is it so sudden?"
"Is it sudden?" Kitsai Palace tilted her head. She knelt down with Lin Ye looking at each other. She turned her head to look at the still sleeping Son of God. With a considerate smile on her face, she said, "This is just a suggestion."
"I will consider it carefully." Lin Ye said.
Hu Zhaigong hummed, she slightly tilted her body, looked past the forest and saw the writing on the table with some amusement.
"Shen Zi has been reading a book these days, forgetting to eat and sleep. I thought she finally got the hang of it and was willing to learn. Haha, I heard that this is the storybook you wrote for Shen Zi. Can you give it to me to read? Lin Ye~Teacher~"
For the last two words, Hu Zhaigong deliberately used a very seductive voice. The white fox is both holy and inviolable, yet extremely charming.
"..."
Finally, Lin Ye showed it to Kitsai Palace. Since this guy had the means to get it from the Son of God, it would be better to give it to her now. There was nothing to be shy about anyway.
Lin Ye believed that he was no longer at the age where he would wish he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into or let out indescribable sharp screams when his diary was read to him in front of him.
Lin Ye originally thought that Hu Zhaigong wanted to use this to make fun of him.
This isn't the first time.
This vixen Kitsaigumi has a cute and innocent shrine maiden to tease, but she is still not satisfied.
It was too much to want to tease a pure and honest boy like me.
But to Lin Ye's surprise, Hu Zhaigong gave a serious evaluation.
Hu Zhaigong read very quickly, but this time he read it word by word, so Lin Ye couldn't write much by hand.
Hu Zhaigong told Lin Ye that it was interesting, easy to read, and sometimes could make one smile (although Hu Zhaigong did not smile), but that was all.
From the perspective of the current market, it is difficult for it to be a best-seller. Hu Zhaigong is knowledgeable and has read countless books, including many famous works. Stories like the one written by Lin Ye are not presentable.
Those literati, including the cultural ones among monsters, are devoted to books that allow them to stand out more when they gather together for discussion.
In response, Lin Ye smiled.
"I wrote this for the Son of God to read. If I must say, I wrote this kind of content on purpose. It's a light novel, so it's easy."
"Light novel, that's a good summary."
"Well, Mr. Lin Ye, please keep up the good work. You now have a new loyal fan." Hu Zaigong said with a smile.
"If I get beheaded one day, will you send me a razor blade?" Lin Ye joked.
Kitsusai-miya didn't understand the meaning of beheading and sending a blade, but she was smart enough to guess the general idea from the context.
"This punishment is too light. Those who irresponsibly desecrate texts will of course be struck by the lightning of His Highness the General ten thousand times, grinding their bones into ashes, leaving nothing behind." Hu Zhaigong said with a smile.
"That's really serious. I will try my best to let you and the Son of God read the whole story." Lin Ye said.
After all, Lin Ye was not sure when he would return to the real world and leave here.
……
Lin Ye didn't have much luggage, and his only burden was the Son of God on his head.
Yes, this guy, the Son of God, will tear down the roof if he is not punished for three days.
No, no, it should be said that it is an honor for this mortal that the great Son of God is willing to lie on Lin Ye’s head.
Considering Lin Ye's physical condition, it is not too heavy and his neck will not feel burdened, but it does feel a little strange, as if he was wearing a velvet hat.
When Kitsusai Palace saw this, she said sadly that the Son of God no longer liked her.
A month has passed, and Shen Zi has kept her words and is able to talk to Hu Zai Gong, but she wants to be close to Lin Ye, huh, making Hu Zai Gong jealous.
Shen Zi learned from Lin Ye about the battle between Kitsusai Palace and the great demon Gohyakuzo who guarded the forest. She understood that it was a misunderstanding on her part, but Lord Shen Zi had a very good character.
That is to stick to what she said!
Fox Palace went outside to look for other little foxes.
Lin Ye was not surprised by the way Shen Zi and Hu Saigong got along.
Ling Shanfang originally wanted to go with Lin Ye, but as the leader of the Tengu tribe, she had to go to Inazuma Castle with her tribe members, which was a pity.
Lin Ye was extremely grateful.
As the younger generations, Hibiki Asase and Konbumaru stayed in the shrine and the Tengu clan respectively.
As a great demon, Hu Zhaigong once competed with Lingshanfang and won the championship.
When the forest and wilderness are shining, traveling a thousand miles a day is no problem.
As for Yae Kamiko, she just needs to be responsible for being cute.
A man, a fox and a baby fox walked and stopped from time to time. It took them two days to get out of Yingxiang Mountain, cross the White Fox Wilderness, and come to Inazuma Castle, the most prosperous city in the southeast of Ming Shen Island.
Whether in the real world or this "underground memory world", this is Lin Ye's first time to visit Inazuma Castle. The architecture and layout can show some shadows of the game, or in other words, the Inazuma Castle in the game has been preserved for five hundred years.
Of course, the iconic Thousand-Eyed Hundred-Armed Statue does not exist.
Kitsunesaigong took Lin Ye to stay in the VIP guesthouse arranged by the shogunate.
"Your Highness the General is expected to arrive at Inazuma Castle tomorrow afternoon. We still have some time. Do you need Sister Saimiya to take you around?"
Ever since Lin Ye called Hu Zhaigong "sister" a few times, this old woman sometimes takes advantage of her in addressing her.
Lin Ye glanced at the sky through the window. Night fell. He had no interest in the night of Inazuma Castle. After all, he couldn't watch the fireworks lit by the Night Palace.
Lin Ye rejected Hu Zhaigong's invitation, and Hu Zhaigong didn't care. She picked up Shen Zi and smiled back before walking out of the room.
"Speaking of which, there is a hot spring here. Although it is a mixed bath, Shen Zi and I will be shy, so you can't peek."
Shen Zi: I am a furry fox.
"Don't worry, I don't have that hobby." Lin Ye waved his hand.
If it were Shen He, Lin Ye thought he would finish three bowls of rice just by listening to the sound of Ah He taking a bath.
Most of the time, girls take longer to bathe than boys, let alone take a hot spring bath.
Lin Ye lay on the tatami, one hand on the back of his head, closing his eyes and thinking about what to say to Lei Dianzhen when he saw him tomorrow.
Then again, Kitsai-guni could take him to see Raiden Shin to see if he would tell him the secret about the gods, namely the twin Narukami.
Lin Ye's thoughts diverged, and his thoughts gradually shifted towards memories.
Lin Ye was used to being alone in the world of underground memory. The longest time he was alone was in the Layered Rock Abyss, which lasted nearly half a year.
But that doesn't mean Lin Ye won't miss everyone in Liyue Harbor. He accidentally came to Inazuma and entered the underground memory world. He didn't know what Ah He and Hu Tao were doing at this time. Are they looking for him all over the world?
Gradually, Lin Ye's consciousness became heavy, and he could vaguely hear a female voice in his ears.
"The fate of Teyvat will not change easily... Even so, we should not give up..."
"Save those who are swallowed by disasters, save His regrets, well, this is what He asked me to relay..."
The voice was vague and unreal, and Lin Ye fell asleep before he had time to think about the meaning of the words.
"Wake up? Wake up?"
"If you don't wake up... well, then I'll use that trick."
When Lin Ye heard the sound of running, he opened his eyes instantly, and with a sudden inspiration he rolled to the side, avoiding the "embrace" of the Son of God.
"boom--"
"Lin Ye! Why are you hiding? Are you pretending to sleep?" The Son of God complained, covering his forehead.
Lord Shenzi has just finished taking a bath. He smells sweet and his fur is very warm.
"Muscle memory." Lin Ye said calmly. He stood up, shook his head, and wondered why I fell asleep?
I remember that before I fell asleep, it seemed like someone was talking to me, but I can’t remember what they said.
"Kamiko, Saigiya, are you new here?"
Kitsune took off her shrine maiden's attire and didn't care about Lin Ye, the hot-blooded young man. Her delicate body was wrapped in a white bath towel, her knees were flushed, her bare feet were wet, her white hair was also wet, and her eyes were softer than before, transforming from a naughty fox into a gentle and lovely older sister.
"Yes." Hu Zhaigong smiled. She paid close attention to Lin Ye's expression and eyes. She found that he was normal. She curled her lips secretly and wondered if she was really unattractive.
To be honest, Hu Zhaigong has the noble Baichen blood flowing in her body and has lived for many years. Her experience and bloodline mean that she will not be easily moved by so-called love and become fluttering with excitement.
Over the past thousands of years, I have never longed for love like others.
Beneath her intimate and charming appearance lies the longevity's pity for the perishable life. Therefore, how could she be attracted to a mortal like Lin Ye?
It's just the embarrassment of an old woman wanting to see a young man blushing and his heart beating.
If it’s not Kitsusai Palace and Shen Zi, who else could it be?
Lin Ye asked about the location of the Huzai Palace Hot Spring, took his toiletries and bath towel, and left.
There are several hot springs at the guesthouse, and the room you book at Kitsai Palace includes a separate hot spring.
“Wow, it’s still open air.”
Lin Ye took the wooden basin and rinsed his body, then walked to the hot spring to soak in it. The temperature was a little hot, but not enough to burn him.
This hot spring was where Kitsuzai Palace and Shen Zi had just bathed. Lin Ye had no bad taste in it. He leaned against a rock on the shore, looked up at the moon, and stretched his body.
There is nothing much to describe about the beautiful boy taking a hot spring bath. Lin Ye soaked for a while, and no popular scenes happened during that time, such as a fox suddenly breaking into the hot spring or another beautiful girl hiding in the hot spring. There was no wild monkey jumping out and taking Lin Ye's clothes.
Lin Ye changed his clothes and returned to his room.
Silent all night.
The next day, Lin Ye was awakened by a headbutt from the Son of God.
