Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

The port management staff, dressed in uniform, walked over.

"Is there something you need?" Jiang Bai asked.

Chapter 570 Is General Thunder in a bad mood?

"According to the current port berthing law, based on the size of your ship and the port area, temporary berthing will incur a berthing fee of 3 mora per day..."

Jiang Bai's ship was quite large, almost a replica of the Death Star.

Such a large ship naturally occupies a considerable area in the port.

Jiang Bai, who had never imagined this, was stunned.

The islands they visited before were deserted and had no ports, so there was no question of berthing fees.

As soon as he returned to Narukami Island, before he could even ask General Raiden for his money, the people from the Kansei Magistrate came to him demanding payment!

He snapped his fingers, and to the astonishment of the surrounding crowd, the enormous stone ship dissipated into particles.

"There shouldn't be any parking fees now, right?"

If we charge him parking fees for this, he'll complain!

The staff member in charge of the investigation was stunned.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years of working.

The ships that docked at the port have disappeared. Does he charge a fee or not?

He thought about the fate of his colleagues who had made a fortune during the previous lockdown period, and ultimately decided not to dwell on it anymore.

"Given the current special circumstances of the vessel, the mooring fee is temporarily waived, but the surveying officer will still need to charge you a pilotage fee of 1000 Mora..."

Jiang Bai glanced at the staff member with some surprise.

It's not that I care about the pilotage fee.

I was just a little surprised by the price.

—Unexpectedly low.

He had heard from Sora that when Sora first arrived on the island, the atmosphere of the Kanjō-gyō (military commissioner) was extremely bad.

A temporary residence permit holder tried to extort millions of mora from him, but it was Thomas, a local tyrant, who helped him out of the predicament.

Several months have passed, and from these small signs, we can see that the atmosphere here has improved a lot.

After they obediently paid the money, the staff member specifically reminded them to apply for a temporary residence permit and told them that they could go to the port authority if they had any difficulties.

I thanked the staff member.

The group pushed through the crowded throng and quickly left the port.

"Sigh, I should have just found a random place to dock..." Ichidou muttered, still feeling uneasy about the overly enthusiastic crowd.

“Our ship is so big, and the water isn’t deep enough, so we can’t stop just anywhere,” Jiang Bai said, shrugging.

He wouldn't have chosen the port on the outlying island if it weren't for the fact that the water was too shallow to reach the shore in other places.

"Never mind, we're back anyway. Let's go to a restaurant for dinner."

One horse and one rider took the lead, heading straight for the nearest restaurant.

He ordered a table full of dishes and while waiting for them, Jiang Bai paid attention to the conversations of the people around him, preparing to hear what had happened on Narugami Island recently.

Nearby, two businessmen were drinking alone in silence.

"I don't know why, but the thunderstorms in the outer seas have been particularly unusual lately, and my goods have been piling up for days..." A merchant took a swig of wine and sighed.

"This is really strange. Wasn't the lockdown lifted? Why are the thunderstorms becoming more and more abnormal..."

Another businessman was also very frustrated.

After the government issued the decree lifting the national lockdown, the thunderstorms that had been covering the Inazuma Sea subsided considerably, and large ships were able to pass through safely as long as they took a little precautions.

But the recent thunderstorms are really too unusual.

Just like the weather, one second it's sunny and clear, the next it's thundering and pouring rain.

"Sigh, every day this stuff sits there is a loss for me..."

"And who isn't?"

Jiang Bai overheard this and was quite surprised.

Logically speaking, the thunderstorm covering the sea off Inazuma is controlled by the Thunder General.

Does an abnormal thunderstorm mean that General Thunder is in a bad mood lately?

So why would he go to General Thunder and Lightning to ask for money at this time?

What if you directly encounter bad luck?

Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment.

This money is definitely necessary.

Even if they don't give money, giving them some other treasures would be nice.

But if you approach her when she's in a bad mood, the outcome will definitely not be good.

Let's go find Yae no Miko first.

If we're talking about who understands Thor the most, it's definitely Yae no Kamiko.

After finishing their meal, the three headed straight for Gantian Village.

Ichidou couldn't wait to see the old woman.

Jiang Bai told Hu Tao, took the ancient book he found at the Asahi Shrine, and went directly to the Narukami Shrine.

Yae no Miko was clearly in a very good mood, quite different from when she had been seen before.

It's not that Yae no Miko was in a bad mood before, but rather that she was preoccupied with the Thunder God in the Pure Land of One Heart, unlike her relaxed and cheerful demeanor now.

"Hey, little guy. It's been quite a while."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled. Although she was in human form, in Jiang Bai's eyes, her demeanor was no different from that of a cunning fox.

"It has indeed been a long time. You look great, Divine Child."

"The misguided child has finally come out, and is now whining and begging to hear the Divine Child tell a story and be fed sweets..."

Yae no Miko looked like she couldn't do anything about it.

But the ears twitched slightly, clearly indicating immense joy.

Jiang Bai's lips twitched.

He had never met Lei Yingdian and didn't know what Lei Yingdian's personality was like.

But it could never be like the one the god described.

Awoo awoo and stuff...

I wonder if she dares to say that to Lei Yingdian's face.

"It seems you're having a great time."

He made a sarcastic remark, then took out an ancient book and handed it over.

"This is an ancient book about the sealing of Qinglai Island that we found at Qianlai Shrine. We made a copy to prevent it from being lost."

"It's the seal of Qinglai Island..." Yae no Miko took the book with some surprise.

The seal on Qinglai Island existed even before she was born.

Because so much time has passed, there isn't much information about that place in the records kept at Narukami Taisha.

In addition to factors such as dampness, insect infestation, and improper preservation, many ancient books have been lost.

Even the previous information about the Great Exorcism of Divine Cherry Blossom has been lost.

If it weren't for the memories of the Fox Palace awakening along with the accumulated filth of the Divine Cherry Tree, the Divine Cherry Tree would probably have gone offline again.

Sometimes, even he, as the palace official, felt quite helpless.

When she suddenly took over Narukami Shrine, she didn't have time to give any instructions. She figured everything out on her own over the years.

Even her gods are quite troublesome.

Not to mention having the time or energy to pay attention to things on Qinglai Island.

"You went to Qinglai Island? How's the situation there?"

"Speaking of which, we resealed the thunderstorms on Qinglai Island, restoring it to normal. Lord Yae no Kami, shouldn't you offer some reward?"

Jiang Bai rubbed his fingers together, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Oh? The thunderstorm has been sealed off again?" Yae no Miko was even more pleased.

The thunderstorms there had dragged on for too long, and since no one lived there anymore, and Inazuma had more urgent matters to attend to, so they just left it there.

The thunderstorms have now been resolved, which is indeed something to be happy about.

Chapter 571 You've emptied our coffers

"Little one, what do you want?"

Jiang Bai was quite reserved, "Do you have any powerful holy relics? Ten or eight would be fine!"

Yae no Miko tapped him on the forehead with her gohei, clearly annoyed.

"Relics are such precious and rare things, how can you expect to find them? Ten or eight pieces? You really dare to dream!"

"If you don't have a relic, Mora will do. A few billion Mora is enough, I'm not greedy!"

Yae no Miko was so angry she laughed.

"You call this not being greedy?"

How could he have the nerve to say something like that?

She pulled out an old-looking arrow. "This is the Demon-Slaying Arrow that I sent people to investigate after the thunderstorm on Qinglai Island. It was found near the seal."

"This Demon-Slaying Arrow was completely undamaged during the storm, so it was brought back and placed here with me. Since you want a relic, then this is for you."

Jiang Bai took the Demon-Slaying Arrow and weighed it in his hand.

It is very substantial, and contains a resolute and sharp power.

"A Demon-Slaying Arrow? Why would this be at the place of the seal?"

Yae no Miko's expression was somewhat complicated.

"Of course, it was left by the person who broke the seal..."

Under the raging thunderstorm, the human body was directly incinerated and turned to ashes, leaving only the Demon-Slaying Arrow that was carried with him and carefully protected.

"You knew?" Jiang Bai was somewhat surprised.

He thought Yae no Miko knew nothing about what was happening on Qinglai Island.

"Based on the information, a little deduction will tell us. But judging from your expression, it seems like you already know the whole story."

Jiang Bai nodded and recounted the story about Qian Laixiang that he had read in his diary.

"Tsk, that guy..."

"Divine Child, do you know her?"

“She once studied under Huzhai Palace, so I have naturally met her. However, this woman is hypocritical, clumsy yet stubborn, brave yet cowardly, and not very much to my liking.”

Jiang Bai's intuition told him that the sentence probably meant: it's not fun to tease.

"Back then, she fell in love with someone, but she didn't dare to admit it. Later, that person got married and had children, but she still couldn't let go of him. Two people who were mutually attracted were separated by mountains and seas."

"I don't know much about what happened after that. I only know that his sweetheart went to the battlefield and never came back. She also returned to Qinglai Island and became the priest of the shrine."

"Your message has helped me complete this story."

Yae no Miko decided to have Yaedo's editor write this story into the book.

However, she doesn't like tragedies; she prefers comedies with happy endings.
