Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Therefore, this story needs to be slightly modified.

Jiang Bai was unsure of the Eightfold Divine Child's plans, so he asked:

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do with Asahi Shrine? There's a group of cats living there, and one of them, named Neko, has proclaimed herself the acting priestess, waiting for her Asahi Hibiki to return..."

"I'll go and see for myself another day."

"There's one more thing, about Heguan."

"Oh?" Yae no Miko raised her eyebrows in surprise. "It seems you've been to quite a few places on this trip."

"When you travel, you naturally go everywhere. By the way, are you familiar with the situation in Heguan?"

Yae no Miko gently shook her head. "Even I can't understand everything. Tsurukan is too far from Narukami Island. So far that even though Tsurukan is in Inazuma's territory, the shogunate has never thought of developing and governing it. It has always been a desolate and uninhabited place."

"Then I'll have to tell you all about the He Guan matter..."

The matter of the king beast of He Guan is of great importance. Although they have been driven back and the barrier has been repaired, who knows if those dark demonic beasts will make a comeback?

He has done more than enough; he has even informed the people in charge of the country about the matter, and how they handle it is their own business.

After listening to Jiang Bai's explanation, Yae no Miko's smile faded. "These demons are really annoying..."

“We saved Inazuma from a crisis comparable to the calamity of five hundred years ago. How are you going to thank me?”

Yae no Miko tapped her head with her slender index finger, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, looking troubled.

"Little brat, you've already emptied my coffers. Besides, this is something a mere palace attendant like me can't decide. Go find the General; our General has plenty of treasures..."

Her voice carried a hint of allure, and anyone with a weak will would immediately nod in agreement and turn to head down the mountain.

Jiang Bai squinted, his intuition telling him that Yae no Kamiko was passing the buck.

"Just one artifact and they've emptied their pockets? I don't believe it!"

"I gave you the most precious Heart of God, and I still got a good scolding from Ying. She even deducted five hundred years of my salary. Why don't you go and get the Heart of God back? Or make up for those five hundred years of salary first?"

"Well, I'm going to find the general now..."

Jiang Bai turned and left.

The old fox is indeed an old fox; you can't afford to mess with him.

Seeing him walk so fast, as if something was chasing him, Yae no Miko smiled with particular pleasure.

Just as he stepped out of Narukami Shrine, Jiang Bai turned around and came back.

I came here to ask Thor if he was in a bad mood lately, but I forgot about the important thing.

Before Yae no Miko's smile had faded, Jiang Bai returned, and her smile deepened.

"Hey, little guy, are you back to make up for what you did to Mora?"

"I almost forgot, I originally came to ask you if the general has been in a bad mood lately."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Bai recounted what he had heard.

The thunderstorm off the coast of Inazuma was a manifestation of the shogun's will, but now it seems that the shogun's will has clearly gone awry.

Yae no Miko shrugged. "Oh, it's because I forgot to bring her a light novel last time I visited her. Our General cried and made a scene..."

Jiang Bai: "..."

We're talking about serious matters, can we be a little more focused?

"Look at your expression, alright, alright. Actually, Ying hasn't figured out what to do in the future yet."

She turned to look at the huge cherry tree behind her and reached out to catch a falling petal.

"Although the national isolation order and the eye-hunting order have been lifted, our god is still confused about what Inazuma's future will be like."

"I see. Indeed, such a general direction cannot be decided in a short time. But why does this affect thunderstorms?"

Jiang Bai was somewhat puzzled.

I'm just confused. Why would it affect thunderstorms?

I heard that the thunderstorm is gradually approaching Inazuma, and it looks like a storm is about to break.

"You'll have to ask her yourself to find out."

Yae no Miko took out a protective charm. "This is my token. Wearing it will allow you to see Kage."

Chapter 572 Asking General Thunder for Money [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Jiang Bai went directly from Narukami Taisha to Tenshukaku. He didn't go back to greet Kurumi; he was just going to ask Raiden General for money, so there was no need to specifically tell Kurumi.

He arrived at the gate of the castle tower, intending to see General Raiden, but unsurprisingly, he was stopped.

The person who stopped him was Kujo Sara.

Although I don't know Kujo Sara personally, we've met a few times and are considered acquaintances.

Moreover, Jiang Bai had taken General Wuxiang's sword head-on, and with that honor, Kujo Sara was still quite polite to him.

"The General is currently recuperating at home and is not seeing anyone. Please return."

"Recuperating at home? Why the sudden change to recuperating at home?"

"The general's thoughts are beyond our comprehension."

"I have important matters to discuss with the General. This is a token given to me by Yae no Miko."

Jiang Bai took out the token given by the Eightfold God Child. After Kujo Sara confirmed that it was indeed the token of the Eightfold God Child, she nodded to the guards of the general and let him in.

Jiang Bai walked into the main hall of the castle tower; this was his first time here.

The last time I saw General Raiden, it was only at the entrance of the castle tower; he never came inside, let alone into the main hall where the general resides.

The area has clearly been renovated, and there are no longer any traces of the battle between the general and the lady.

General Thunder was pacing back and forth in a side hall, looking rather uneasy.

As soon as Jiang Bai walked in, she immediately spotted him.

Her expression immediately turned cold and stern, her tone icy, "How did you manage to break in? Anyone who trespasses should be eliminated immediately!"

But the next moment, as if a program had encountered a bug, she stopped moving.

"No, the use of force is prohibited!"

Jiang Bai tilted his head.

General, is there a problem with the program?

Unable to use force, the general abandoned his plan to simply expel him.

"I gave you two months to leave Inazuma, why are you still here?"

"Wasn't the lockdown order lifted? Since it's been lifted, I shouldn't be considered to have violated the law, right?"

The general frowned slightly but remained silent.

He certainly didn't make an illegal reservation.

"I have ordered everyone to rest and not see anyone. Why are you here?"

"Here's the thing, I discovered many dark magical beasts in He Guan, including a gigantic king beast. They silently carved out a passage in He Guan..."

Jiang Bai handed her the photos he had taken.

The general took the photo and first looked at the contents of the image. When she saw the dark monsters and the huge crack in the sky, her brows furrowed.

It's a bit troublesome.

However, since it only appeared in the remote Heguan and was discovered early, it wasn't particularly troublesome.

However, she is currently prohibited from using force, so it is not suitable for her to handle the situation personally.

Her attention fell on the photograph itself.

"What is this? How can something so small record images?"

The phonograph machine was still a novelty, and for Inazuma, which had recently been under lockdown, very few people knew about it.

It's perfectly normal that the general has never seen such a thing before.

"These are pictures taken with a phonograph, somewhat similar to paintings recorded by a drawing, except they take less time and don't require paint, brushes, paper, or anything like that..."

"I see."

"I am aware of this matter and will arrange for someone to handle it. Go back now and do not disturb my recuperation."

"Uh, well... we've already eliminated those monsters, and the passage has been closed. Not only that, we've also resealed the seal on Qinglai Island's resentment towards the Thunderbirds, and the original time loop at Heguan has returned to normal..."

The general looked at him with some surprise.

Seeing that the general's attitude had softened, Jiang Bai continued:

"We've resolved so many issues for Inazuma, preventing another disaster from occurring, and even brought back a warning of danger. Surely the General won't be stingy with rewards for me, the disciple of the Rock King Emperor?"

Jiang Bai emphasized the words "disciple of the Rock King Emperor".

They were practically saying, "Don't try to renege on your debt to me."

It was at this moment that Jiang Bai realized that his identity as a disciple of the Rock King Emperor could be of some use.

Normally, it's like wearing fine clothes in the dark; you can't show off at all.

The general closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his demeanor was completely different.

It was clearly the same person, but Jiang Bai felt that he was much gentler.

Jiang Bai asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you... Lei Yingdian?"

Ying nodded gently, her tone much softer than the general's.

“It’s me. I’ve already drunk the wine from last time, so please thank Morax for me.”

"I'm glad you like it."

Jiang Bai felt that Lei Yingdian was quite easy to talk to, which gave him more confidence in having a baby.

"The king beast of Heguan is exceptionally difficult to deal with. In order to drive the king beast back, my companions and I suffered a lot of injuries, and our injuries have not yet fully recovered."

"We know very well that simply driving them away is not a permanent solution. As long as the passage remains, a continuous stream of dark monsters will emerge from it."

"To prevent Inazuma from facing the dark calamity again, my companions and I went to great lengths to close that space. Many of the treasures my master gave me were wasted in there... It was because of that that we wasted a lot of time, which is why we exceeded the two-month deadline..."

Jiang Bai frantically played the victim card, openly and secretly saying how hard he had worked, how much he had paid, how many injuries he had suffered, and how many precious treasures he had used up to protect Daoqi's safety.

Therefore, you cannot treat me unfairly.

Ying had actually noticed Jiang Bai when he first came in, and she had overheard his conversation with the general.

"Thank you for your hard work. You've saved Inazuma a lot of trouble. Feel free to ask for any reward you may ask for."

The film is quite generous.

Although she doesn't have Mora, the whole of Inazuma belongs to her.

At her command, the Three Orders immediately offered up Mora.

Since Ying said so, Jiang Bai wouldn't hold back.

"Do you have any artifacts? I want a powerful set of artifacts. Or something that can enhance my control over lightning, or even Mora would be fine..."

It is said that a complete set of relics can unleash greater power, but a complete set is extremely rare.

Only He Guan found a complete set, but they broke it down.

Jiang Bai stared at Ying with wide, expectant eyes.

Ying recalled for a moment and said:

"There should be some relics. I'll go look for them..."

She took out two sets of relics from the storeroom.

These two sets of relics have different designs, but they seem to have some strange connection to each other.

"These relics were offered to me by my subordinates, but they are of no use to me. Take a look and see which set suits you better."

Looking at these two sets of relics, Jiang Bai really wanted to say: Since you have no use for them anyway, why don't you give them all to me?
