He changed Tiwat

By keeping their relationship secret, there would be no political trouble, and he wouldn't even need to reveal his contract to Aying. Even if others found out, Lord Gongji could simply say he was just "playing around"... After all, he is a "vixen"!

Whether to prioritize "face" or "substance" has never been a question for the Divine Child.

...If you care about saving face, why be a "vixen"?

Besides... "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair," so what man doesn't like "stealing"?

In any case, among the ukiyo-e prints sold by Yaedo, the best-selling were "pillow prints" (erotic prints), and people especially liked to secretly read these "pillow prints" by tucking them between thick volumes of serious literature...

However, since Han Fulai has just formally proposed marriage to Ying, asking to marry Yae Miyaji, a member of the Thunder God's family, this matter must now go through the public process of a marriage alliance between the two countries.

If you were to ask the goddess about her inner feelings... to be honest, she was delighted—what woman doesn't like to feel valued?

A man who is willing to publicly declare his feelings for you and is willing to go through all kinds of hardships to marry you—such sincerity is more precious than any "dowry."

The difficulty lies precisely in the "dowry".

According to the public procedure, if Thor's wife is to be married in a proper and formal manner, then we must talk about her "qualifications".

When the shadow said, "Please talk to me about this as a 'god'," it meant this: this title is not something I can just grant with a few words; it involves the succession to the entire Inazuma Shogunate. If you want to be the "Third Generation Raiden Shogun," you must be a demon god.

This cannot even be called "making things difficult," it is just the most basic requirement for a general's successor.

...But at the same time, this is almost an impossible requirement for humans.

Demons and gods are summoned by the laws of heaven, and their power is innate. They can even use their power to control certain "laws" of this world, which is fundamentally different from the status of humans.

No matter how powerful humans are, even if they are as strong as the warriors of Kanria or the witches of the "Witches' Guild" and their combat power surpasses that of ordinary demon gods, they will not possess "power".

For example, the control that the Thunder movie exerts over the element of thunder can alter the climate over thousands of kilometers, causing the sea off Inazuma to be blocked by thunderstorms, physically achieving a "lockdown" that lasts for several years. This is a manifestation of power.

Even a powerful witch like Lisa, who could temporarily alter the weather above Mondstadt to create thunderstorms, could not allow thunderstorms to shroud Mondstadt for years.

Barbatos's "Millennium Symphony" ensures that warm westerly winds blow through Mondstadt year-round, guaranteeing perpetual peace and prosperity. Other Anemo Vision holders, such as Jean or Sugar, can only create a single storm field at best, no matter how hard they try.

Moreover, Lei's power is not limited to the element of thunder. Her application of the "law of space" in "A Slash Without Thought", her control of the flow of time in "Pure Land of One Heart", and even her brief use of the "law of time" of "time stop", as well as the "law of life" that she inherited from her sister to give life to the seeds of the Divine Cherry Tree, are all things that humans cannot reach no matter how they cultivate.

More importantly, every demon god is a registered "Sky Island civil servant" of Sky Island. Even if a demon god dies, his successor will only be chosen from among the demon gods, and will not fall to any human.

Even Vanessa, the legendary founder of the Knights of Favonius who supposedly ascended to Sky Island, and the only "Dandelion Knight" in the world to transform from a "god" into a "deity" through the "Original God" eye, failed to truly possess the title of Demon God.

It can be said that the condition proposed by Lei's film, namely, that Han Fulai become the "Demon God," was an "impossible mission" from the very beginning.

In fact, let alone humans, even a naturally born immortal fox like the Divine Child, who possesses the "Bai Chen bloodline," could not become a demon god even after cultivating with the "Heart of God" for hundreds of years—there are only a few positions available for "Sky Island civil servants," and without a formal position, there is no formal position.

However... Han Fulai is an exception.

He smiled at the divine child and said earnestly, "You know I am the 'successor of the Emperor,' and one day I will become the 'Salt King Emperor.' Shadow's request is just to urge me to 'become an official' sooner. For the sake of my 'familiar,' what's wrong with becoming a god?"

His ability to sign a "familiar contract" with the divine child meant that he was qualified to become a demon god.

Although his "Sky Island position" was a cover for the deceased "Salt Demon God" Heuria, he was still an "insider" in the system. All he lacked was the formalities for "official" status.

And the opportunity to "become a permanent member" happened to come from Inazuma.

Months ago, Wendy pointed out to him what he should do—go to the Kingdom of White Nights to find the "Seed of Time" left behind by "Time Ruler" Istaru and inherit the power of "Time".

Each of the Seven Earthly Rulers possesses more than one power. For example, Venti has at least the powers of "Wind" and "Time," while the Emperor has at least the powers of "Ground" and "Gold."

He was the same.

Beneath the giant abyss of layered rocks, he had already completed his certification as a "Sky Island Civil Servant" at the "Layered Rock Nail," and all he lacked was the necessary experience.

Zhongli sent him to Mondstadt to find Venti and obtain the "Seed of Time," paving the way for him to truly become a Daedric Prince in the future.

One must possess at least two powers to be qualified to step out of the game and engage in a contest with the "Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm" and those above them.

From this perspective, Yingti's condition was exactly what he wanted.

Isn't it just "If you want to marry the goddess, you have to pass the civil service exam first"?

It's not unreasonable for Ying, as an "elder," to make this request.

Among the mothers-in-law in Han Fulai's hometown, at least fifty out of a hundred would make this kind of request to their sons-in-law...

Let's take the exam!

The test-takers of China are least afraid of exams!

Chapter 266 So you've always been lusting after my body!

Seeing his confident demeanor, the divine child couldn't help but chuckle: "What? You seem quite confident?"

Han Fulai smiled in return: "I've said it before, Secretary Yue Haiting never does anything without being sure of success."

"My willingness to propose to Ying means that I am confident in facing all difficulties—and overcoming them all—to marry Lord Gongsi."

"Why do you always make trouble for yourself?" The goddess said with a hint of reproach, but her eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

He came to Inazuma with considerations related to national interests; he assisted the Shadow Exorcism in eliminating the calamity, which of course also stemmed from his position as an ally; he waded into the murky waters of Inazuma, which could not be said to be entirely for her Yae no Miko—however, this marriage proposal was solely for her.

How could someone as intelligent as him not see through the trouble behind this?

Even if he couldn't predict how Ying would react, he should at least know that Ying wouldn't easily agree to this.

For him, the best course of action was to keep the "familiarity contract" a secret. The goddess was willing to be his "familiar," even without official status.

In that kiss where she gave him everything, she had already made her heartfelt feelings clear—she didn't even care about her life, so why would she care about a mere "title"?

But he chose this particular occasion, solemnly inviting all the parties involved to witness his proposal to her in this special space of consciousness, under this sacred cherry tree with its special status.

He did this for no good other than to prove his determination and will to the divine child, and the divine child didn't need his proof at all.

There will never be another person in this world who would say to her, "I want to know everything about you. To save you."

There is no vow of eternal love in this world that can compare to the simple phrase, "I am watching you."

From that moment on, he was her god, and she had no regrets in this life.

"What an idiot..."

The goddess gazed at the man before her.

He really did something stupid.

...But the goddess really liked his silly antics.

A man who is willing to do foolish things for you is a man you can entrust your life to.

Han Fulai had a problem with that: "Hey, last time you called me an idiot, and this time you're calling me a fool... Is there any 'family member' who doesn't respect the gods as much as you do?"

The goddess curled her lip—this wasn't the first time she'd disrespected the gods; look at Aying…

"What, regretting it now? Marrying such a disobedient spouse will make things very difficult for you later, won't it?"

Han Fulai shook his head: "No, if I don't do this, there will be no 'future'."

"What do you mean?" The divine child frowned.

Come to think of it, Han Fulai did indeed say that he would propose marriage to Ying here, and there were reasons why he had to do so.

However, the Divine Child was arguing with the Shadow at the time, so he didn't let him finish speaking.

Now that she thinks about it, she's genuinely starting to wonder: "By the way, what was the 'reason' you wanted to explain to Ying back then?"

Han Fulai's face instantly turned serious, and even his tone became deliberately stern: "Isn't this all your fault! Do you think I don't know that you gave your bloodline to me, shortening your own lifespan?"

“I’m afraid if I let you go like this, I’ll have to write some kind of ‘regretful literature’ after I get out of here—the editor-in-chief is gone, ‘Yaeodo’ will probably go bankrupt, and even if I write it, no publisher will accept it, right?”

"Ah..." The goddess was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to be able to perceive this much... Well, since the "familiar contract" had been signed, as her god, he could easily grasp her situation if he wanted to.

"Fortunately... I've really started cultivating immortality now, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you." Han Fulai glared at the Divine Child again. "The so-called 'When heaven and earth are in harmony, all things are transformed; when men and women unite their essences, all things are born.' Our Liyue Immortal Clan has a 'True Enlightenment Treatise' that can make up for your lost lifespan through dual cultivation."

"But since this is a proper cultivation practice, I need a Daoist partner, which is why I quickly proposed to Ying—hey, what are you laughing at!"

The goddess smiled so hard her eyes curved into two crescent moons, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

She finally understood why Han Fulai was in such a hurry to propose marriage.

She reached out her finger and gently stroked Han Fulai's cheek.

"So... you've always been lusting after my body!"

Han Fulai's serious face finally broke down after she scratched him: "I was afraid people would say that, so I made a formal marriage proposal!"

I'm not a lecherous man who gets lustful at first sight; I'm a decent person with a sense of shame!

The goddess smiled even more broadly.

She had indeed planned to disappear quietly.

But the lightning truly gave her a "Dream Cherry Blossom," sending the drop of "White Star Blood" left behind by Master Saigu into her body.

Although she is still in a weak state, her lifespan is already more than five hundred years. She has only suffered damage to her cultivation, but her life is not in danger.

However, when Raiden gave her the "Dream Cherry Blossom" gift, he did so in a "whisper" to avoid making Ying worry—Han Fulai was unaware of this.

This resulted in the "marriage proposal".

No wonder he hesitated to speak at that time; he was actually considering her reputation.

No wonder he values ​​this "status" so much.

Sigh, should I say he's stupid, or... that he's adorably stupid?

She wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips again.

After a long while, the divine child reluctantly parted ways.

"Then, I'll have to ask the gods to save me, okay? While... the night is still long."

That night, a man and a woman appeared outside the back wall of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

The woman is the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, but for some reason, she doesn't use the main gate when returning to her shrine.

The man, dressed in a white hunting robe and wearing an ebony hat, held a string of coins in his hand. He seemed to be a shrine priest accompanying the chief priest—although none of the priestesses recognized his face.

In fact, even his clothes were an illusion.

After all, his marriage proposal was rejected by Ying, so his relationship with the Divine Child was not yet legitimate. But the matter of extending the Divine Child's lifespan could not wait, so he had to do it secretly.

The shrine is holding the "Migo-Narukami Kariyama Festival" tonight, and there are many people around. He can easily sneak in by disguising himself as a shrine employee.

...Although that's the logic, Han Fulai had protested beforehand.

With his current strength, he could carry the shrine maiden around without anyone noticing, and besides... this doesn't necessarily have to be done at Narukami Shrine—after all, Narukami Shrine is a shrine that serves the gods, and should theoretically be the most "pure" place in all of Inatsume...

But the goddess insisted, so Han Fulai had no choice but to give in to her.

To be honest, Han Fulai is no longer the Xiao Chunan he was when he first transmigrated, and this is not the first time he has done dual cultivation... But this time at the Narukami Shrine is the most "exciting" one in his memory.

After all, this was the first time in his life that he had an affair.

He had to admit... that the "vixen" was indeed unmatched in terms of "romantic charm."

Afterwards, Han Fulai wrote a long poem to present to the Divine Child about what happened that night, to express his feelings.

Poetry:

The green walls rise high to the sky, the evening wind is strong and the moon is bright.

The slanted door is quiet and carefully examined; the winding alley is gloomy and steadfastly guarded.

Suddenly, the sound of bells echoed from the sky, and then, startlingly, the whispers of foxes were heard in the shadows.

With a slight cough from her red lips, she approached the corner of the screen; with delicate fingers, she lightly tapped the edge of the pavilion.

The rope was opened to steal the door, and the imperial coin banner was moved, allowing the shoulder to move.

The witch was startled when she hid behind the shrine; only then did she hear the sound of her slumbering companion in the inner courtyard.

She lightly raised her hunting robes, cautiously observing the surroundings; her steps, tethered to the curtain, were graceful and swift.

She removed her chin and tied her hair into a loose, sparse bun; the lingering smoke from the incense burner still hung in the air.

Her skin, smooth as ice, swayed gently, and her rosy cheeks were more beautiful than any flower.

A delicate lotus root with a snowy, curved arm; a narrow lotus with three-inch red stems.

Parrots peck at ripe cherries, their mouths full; butterflies flit among fragrant cardamom blossoms.

The tassels gently tap the silver hook, and the incense sticks are secretly blown into the precious cauldron.

Her eyes sparkled with a hint of shyness, her voice low and lingering.

Her embroidered stockings were piled high with soft, embroidered fabric, and her earrings jingled as they fell onto the pillow.
