He changed Tiwat

The divine child silently sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Why is this person so smart in other situations, but completely clueless about reading the room at times like this?

Do you not even see Ying as a woman?

Han Fulai was even more confused when he saw Shenzi covering his face. "I clearly won, so why do you not seem very happy?"

"Sigh... this family will really fall apart without me."

Bearing too much burden, the fox spirit priest swayed and in the next moment stood in front of the shadow.

"Ah Ying, don't rush off..."

Ying silently turned her face away.

She really doesn't want to face these two people right now, especially her former best friend and family member, Shenzi.

Han Fulai is, after all, the "successor of the Emperor" of Liyue, and has already ascended to the position of god. He has no reason to be subordinate to other gods, and he will not stay in Inazuma for long.

This "Minister of the Interior" will eventually return to Liyue, along with the Divine Child.

Putting everything else aside, the thought of the divine child soon leaving her for the distant Liyue filled her with sadness, and naturally, she lost the will to speak.

"Aying," the divine child called her again.

Shadow turned around and forced a smile at the Divine Child.

"...Congratulations, Divine Child." Then, as if remembering something, she raised her hand and touched the Divine Child's forehead: "By the way, you are no longer my familiar, and the mark of Rai-sakura should be taken back..."

The divine child deftly dodged her hand, but pressed herself against Ying's body: "Ying, you still owe me something."

Ying frowned, but couldn't recall owing her anything, so she asked, "What is it?"

The divine child whispered sweetly in her ear, "You owe me the blessing of the gods. Well, consider it punishment for the loser; you have to stay with me all day today."

Chapter 382 Please watch a movie with Lei Movie [4k]

"So, the thing you want me to do with you is... watch 'reflections'?"

Ying looked at the curtain in front of her, seemingly at a loss.

She usually meditates in the "Isshin Jodo" or sits in meditation in the castle tower, so naturally she wouldn't know about "reflection," a new art form invented by Xavier, an engineer from Fontaine.

While the princess was enjoying the dumplings served by the "Hot Spring Magistrate," her speech was slightly unclear: "Um, I just want you to come with me to watch the 'movie.' It's the latest project jointly produced by our 'Yaedo' and the Shabu-magistrate... By the way, didn't you see that 'advertisement' at the 'Glorious Splendor Festival'?"

Ying silently shook her head.

During the "Radiant Splendor Festival," she was in a "cold war" with the shrine maiden, so she only showed her face at the festival and didn't really browse the festival stalls. Of course, she didn't see the "advertisement" that the shrine maiden mentioned.

The divine child swallowed the dumpling, clapped her hands, and pointed to the curtain in front of her, saying, "That's perfect. Before the main feature begins, you can take a look at this..."

Upon seeing the command from the chief priest, Ms. Mikawa Akane next door began operating the machine to play "Reflection".

A beam of light shone through a vent in the wall behind them, illuminating the screen in front of them, and an image appeared on the screen.

The scene appears to depict a sea spirit warrior dueling with an Inazuma warrior.

The Sea God Warrior raised his long sword high and shouted, "I want Golden Fertilizer! Sea God agriculture is underdeveloped, we must have Golden Fertilizer!"

The shogunate samurai also raised their katana, their killing intent palpable: "I want Jin Ke La! Inazuma resources are so scarce, we absolutely need Jin Ke La!"

Then the two warriors started fighting.

Then a Liyue merchant appeared on screen, holding a bag of glittering gold "fertilizer" with a kind expression—because it was a promotional video, the "Flying Cloud Merchant Guild" had actually gone to great lengths to cover the fertilizer's packaging with gold leaf...

The merchant separated the two fighting warriors and shouted, "No fighting! No fighting! What are the benefits of Golden Fertilizer? Whoever answers correctly gets it."

Next, the two samurai began reciting advertising slogans, such as "Fertilizer mixed with Golden Fertilizer won't run off! Won't evaporate! Zero waste!" and "Using Golden Fertilizer, wheat yields reach 1800 per acre, and Inazuma will no longer import grain from Mondstadt!"...

Ying stared in disbelief, while Han Fulai, standing next to her, silently raised his hand to cover his face.

These advertising slogans were, of course, written by him for Xavier. He signed a contract with Xavier to help him secure investment from the "Flying Cloud Merchant Guild" in the "Shadow" industry, which was originally intended to promote Liyue's fertilizer.

Xavier put a lot of effort into making a short advertisement and put it on display at the "Radiant Splendor Festival". Han Fulai originally planned to go see it with Xingqiu - but he left Naruto Island halfway through because of the Abyss Palace incident, so he naturally missed the screening.

Now, looking at the actual results... well, how should I put it? The thought that this short film will be "the world's first commercial" that will go down in Teyvat film history makes him a little embarrassed to show it to anyone...

The goddess looked on with a smile: "In the future, the revitalization of Inatsuma's cultural industry will largely depend on these 'films.' For example, our Inatsuma light novels, food, festivals, and scenery can all be conveyed to the world through these 'films.'"

Most importantly, Yaedo also invested in Xavier's "Ei-ei" project. What the Goddess saw was not just a mere commercial, but a steady stream of Mora...

Thinking that this money was actually a business opportunity brought by Han Fulai, Shenzi happily handed him a string of dumplings as a reward.

Han Fulai carefully raised his hand to take it, but Shenzi didn't hand the dumpling to him. Instead, she opened her mouth with a grin.

"Ah~"

Han Fulai hurried to see the movie.

The shadow remained expressionless.

There were only three audience members in the screening room: him, Shenzi, and the shadow sitting between them.

As the general, Shadow naturally sits in the main seat. He and the Divine Child are nominally the general's subjects, so they naturally accompany him on both sides. As a result, it turned into a situation where the general is in the middle as a third wheel, while the two of them show their affection through Shadow.

Han Fulai hesitated for a moment, but ultimately obediently opened his mouth to accept the divine child's food, while praying in his heart that Ying wouldn't be angry about it...

He didn't really understand why the god wanted to bring Ying to the movies.

While "inviting Lei to watch a movie" sounds funny, you can't just show it off in the theater... Aren't you just being provocative?

Moreover, this "movie theater" is a very awkward place for men.

They were currently in the "backyard" of the castle tower, or rather, the shogun's "private residence," a place that the Inazuma people called the "Ooku."

The entire castle tower is actually divided into three areas.

The main hall where the Shogun meets with court officials during court assemblies is called "Hyoko," which is the reception room. The study where the Shogun reviews memorials and summons officials such as the "Dainagon" and "Naidai" to discuss important national affairs is called "Chūō," which is the office. The vast area outside "Hyoko" and "Chūō" belongs to "Ōōō," which is the Shogun's sleeping quarters.

To put it more simply, the "Ooku" is the shogun's "harem".

Since this is the Shogun's "harem," no official outside the palace is allowed to enter, especially male officials; they are all required to stay outside the "Ooku."

Because both generations of shoguns were women, the servants in their palaces were mostly female officials—just like Ningguang wouldn't hire three men as her personal secretaries, as it would definitely not sound good if word got out… So even though the shoguns were not married, they still established a rule that men were not allowed to enter the "Ooku".

Even the Shogun's personal guard, the "Oku-tsume-shu," is only responsible for defending the outer perimeter of the castle tower. They can only enter the "Chū-Oku" (middle inner palace) for protection. Daring to step into the "Ō-Oku" (great inner palace) is considered to damage the Shogun's reputation and, according to the law, will result in imprisonment.

For example, in this "preview screening," director Xavier couldn't enter the "Ooku" (old inner palace), so he could only send in equipment and film, which was then screened by Ms. Mikawa Akane, the "Hot Spring Magistrate" who was more familiar with foreign mechanical products.

"Royal Hot Spring Attendant" is a female official who manages the "Royal Hot Spring" for the General. Although she has the name "Attendant", she is not the same as the "Three Attendants". To put it bluntly, she is a female housekeeper who cleans the hot spring bath for the General.

Given Inazuma's geographical environment, it lacks natural hot springs like those in Nata, which are formed by volcanic activity. However, long ago, adventurers from Inazuma traveled to Nata, witnessed its hot spring culture, and then introduced this culture to Inazuma.

The current "sentō" (public bathhouses) in Inatsuki originated from this. The people of Inatsuki, captivated by the warmth and soothing effect of hot water, began to do everything they could to recreate hot springs in Inatsuki.

Ultimately, it was Hiiragi Hiroshi, the "Kanjo-buyo" (Minister of Investigation and Appointment) from 500 years ago, who introduced a highly efficient blast furnace from Shifuku Province, raising the water temperature to the level of a hot spring. He then added precious minerals and plants collected from various countries to the water, thus creating the original Inazuma Onsen.

This original hot spring was presented to the shogun by Hiiragi Hirotsugu and became known as the "Royal Hot Spring".

Therefore, the most mechanically skilled member of the female officials' team at the castle tower was the "Hot Spring Magistrate," who was responsible for operating the hot spring blast furnace. This is also why Akane Mikawa was captured by the goddess to serve as a projectionist.

Mikawa Akane is now secretly wondering why Lord Han was allowed to enter the "Ooku".

Han Fulai is not only a male foreign official, but also a foreigner, and a man who has been rumored to be having an affair with the chief priest... Inviting such a person into the "Ooku" to watch "reflections" and having him sit so close to the shogun, isn't that breaking the rules?

As a senior lady-in-waiting who has served the general for many years, Mikawa Akane has never been so close to the general before. She really wanted to bring out the "Great Inner Palace Laws" and read it to the general in person... but this was a special permission granted by the general himself, and Mikawa Akane had no grounds to object.

She could only sulk behind the "projector".

Han Fulai himself was also having doubts.

When he heard the priestess say that she wanted the shadow to accompany him to watch "Eikage", he thought it meant that she wanted to accompany the shadow to stroll around the town. The magistrate had specially approved a shop in the town for Xavier to use as a "cinema". Even if he wanted peace and quiet, he could have just booked the whole place. There was no need to come all the way to the "Ooku".

Moreover, the projector and film were delivered to the castle tower by Toxaviel long before the Shinigami dueled with the Shadow... This shows that the Shinigami had already planned to set up a "private cinema" in the "Ooku" long before his duel with the Shadow.

What is this fox thinking?

Miss Fox, lost in thought, was in high spirits and was introducing today's film to Ying: "According to director Xavier, the film we're going to watch today is 'Sword Array Reflections,' which tells the story of samurai. It sounds like something that you, Ying, would be interested in."

"This is the first official 'screening' in all of Teyvat. Xavier hasn't finished his 'director's cut' yet, so what we're seeing now is the most precious 'first screening,' isn't that amazing?"

Ying nodded, completely bewildered. Although she didn't understand what "director's cut" or "first screening" meant, it certainly sounded impressive.

In addition, the film's subject matter is a samurai story, and as a samurai herself, she is indeed very interested in it and willing to watch this so-called "film"—maybe it will be as good as "Dumpling Milk"?

After a short period of darkness, the first "Screenplay" in the history of Teyvat officially began, with the film's name displayed on the screen: "The Unborn Ninja".

The film's opening scene takes place in a familiar location—the most famous tavern in the town, Uyu-tei.

A young waitress carrying a wine pot and snacks walked down the corridor of the private rooms on the second floor of Wuyouting, her destination being the room at the very end of the corridor.

A line of text appeared below her body, indicating the name of the character she played and the actress's name: Machiko Yano (Koharu).

Ying let out a soft "Eh," and said, "This girl's martial arts are quite good. Even though she's carrying heavy objects, her center of gravity remains perfectly stable, and she walks without making a sound, as if she's practiced stealth techniques..."

Han Fulai twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, "Is there something wrong with what you're focusing on when you watch movies?"

The goddess replied with a smile, "As expected of you, Xiaochun is the last disciple of that old woman, Gutian."

“I see…” Ying nodded in agreement.

She had heard of the deeds of the "Mingjie" high priestess, Furuta, who traveled to the islands to exorcise demons. Since Koharu was Furuta's disciple, it was not surprising that she had excellent martial arts skills.

In fact, Koharu is a war orphan adopted by Furuta. She works as a maid who sweeps the garden at the Kamisato family's house. Her secret identity is that of a female ninja in "The Final Chapter"—because the magistrate of the company lent real ninjas to Xavier to act in the filming of "Musou Shinobu".

The camera followed Xiaochun's footsteps and pulled her indoors.

Two men sat facing each other across a table in the Japanese-style room.

Two more lines of text appeared on the screen: Kurotani Seishimaru (Okazaki Rikuto), Wakayama Keisuke (Sasano).

The goddess seized the opportunity to offer her explanation: "The actor who plays Kurotani Seishimaru is the owner of 'Uyutei.' It is said that Xavier sought inspiration from Mr. Okazaki, which led to the script for 'Musei Shinobu.' Mr. Okazaki generously lent 'Uyutei' as a filming set and even participated in the filming himself."

"Sasano, who plays Wakayama Keisuke, is also a samurai from the Tenryo magistrate's office. Their fight scenes are definitely worth watching."

Okazaki Rikuto was formerly a high-ranking official, and Kage recognized him, knowing he was exceptionally skilled. The young man Sasano also showed signs of swordsmanship training.

The actors cast for this "Sword Array Reflections" are all real martial artists. I'm really looking forward to the "fight scenes" that Shenzi mentioned.

Han Fulai had heard about the important role that Okazaki Rikuto played in the civil war, but in his impression, Okazaki Rikuto should be quite old. He didn't expect that with makeup, he could look so young. This was of course the disguise of Okazaki Erika, the proprietress of "Uyu-tei" and the former "Final Chapter" female ninja.

After all, it's a "ninja movie" sponsored by the company, and from the cast to the costumes and props, everything is up to professional ninja standards...

The two people in the picture are sitting at a table, but the atmosphere is very tense.

Wakayama Keisuke said, "Seishimaru, it's been a long time. I heard that you're now handling the affairs of the Kurotani family... It seems that the matter at your residence has been settled."

"Lord Kurotani and his wife are no longer with us. With you, as the eldest son, taking on the responsibility and continuing to serve the country, they will be gratified."

Kurotani Seishimaru smiled coldly: "The revenge is not yet complete, is the dust settled?"

Keisuke Wakayama seemed taken aback for a moment: "You? You're thinking about revenge? We're not children anymore, why is your temper still as impulsive as ours when we were kids?"

He sighed and said, "Alas, with Lord Kurotani's talent, such a failure in the investigation shouldn't have happened, but he himself said he was willing to take the blame and accept punishment..."

"The punishment imposed by the higher-ups is indeed too harsh... but this was requested by Lord Kurotani himself, and there are probably some hidden issues involved."

"Kurotani and Wakayama are both respectable surnames. Bearing the weight of your family name, you are a loyal samurai, unlike the wandering ronin Nobushi. No matter how angry you are, you must endure it now and absolutely cannot seek revenge."

Kurotani Seishimaru slammed his hand on the table, angrily saying, "The strange thing is that it's a few of Lord Shang's men! They've been gloating since Father passed away."

Keisuke Wakayama quickly pressed down on his hand: "You're blinded by anger and taking it out on innocent people. Calm down!"

At this moment, Seishimaru's eyes sharpened as he looked towards the door: "You who were eavesdropping outside, come in."

Keisuke Wakayama also looked towards the door at the same time: "Who are you? Who gave you permission to eavesdrop?"

Chapter 383 "The Forbearance of No Life" [4k5]

In the video, Kurotani Seishimaru and Wakayama Keisuke are glaring at the camera, and the audience outside the frame is naturally the one being glared at.

Shadow tilted her head slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, and whispered to the Divine Child, "Are we being eavesdropped on?"

The divine child smiled without saying a word, and Han Fulai kindly explained, "Based on the previous events, they should be talking about that maid..."

Ying glanced at him but didn't respond; her eyes seemed to say, "I wasn't talking to you."

Han Fulai wisely shut up and decided to play dumb from now on.

The camera then shifts to reveal the maid, Machiko.

She knelt down and said in a panic, "Sirs, I...I'm a tea seller, my name is...my name is Machiko. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Upon seeing Machiko, Kurotani Seishimaru's gaze seemed to dart away for a moment.

Suddenly, Machiko kowtowed deeply to Seishimaru: "He... Mr. Seishimaru, he saved my life from Nobushi yesterday, but he doesn't want rice or money..."

“I have no bad intentions, I just want to repay him.”
