Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"I see," Jiang Bai said, suddenly understanding.

He said that the general didn't seem like a robot.

Sometimes you can sense her speechless state.

"Have you made any progress regarding eternity?"

"No, although we have seen the direction forward, the contradictions still exist."

"So how long do you plan to keep the general in seclusion? Because of the thunderstorm, some people outside are already feeling uneasy."

Ying paused for a moment, "Is that so..."

For her, living in the Mirror Land of One Heart where there is no concept of time, the passage of time in the outside world is automatically ignored.

For her, it may have been just a moment, but for the outside world, it may have been more than half a month.

"You could go out for a walk to change your mood; maybe you'll find a new direction."

Ying thought about it seriously for a moment, "That makes sense. I've been here the whole time and haven't really gone out to see anything."

Jiang Bai originally came just to ask for money, but ended up accompanying Lei Yingdian on a shopping trip.

Would the sect leader be jealous over something like this?

Probably not.

But I'm kind of curious to see what it means for the head of the hall to be jealous.

In Kage's eyes, the streets of Inazuma haven't changed much since 500 years ago.

But none of the vendors had any familiar faces anymore.

So much has happened in Wubaijian that even the once familiar streets now feel somewhat alien to her.

She cautiously stretched out her tentacles, touching those new things she had never encountered before.

Dumpling milk, light novels, phonograph machine...

Although the general has been practicing her eternity for so many years, human thought does not stagnate with eternity, and everyone yearns for a better life.

The world is constantly changing, but some things remain unchanged.

I gained a lot of insights from this trip.

They also encountered Kong and Paimon, who had returned from Haiqi Island, and dealt with some matters concerning the Heavenly Territory.

And so, the two of them became a group of four.

Jiang Bai sent Ying back to the castle tower and gave her a book.

"Shadow, this book is quite interesting, you can take a look."

He pulled out the book he had bought at Yaedo, "Please, My Fox Deity."

That was supposedly written by Yae no Miko, a story that the useless general and the omnipotent priest had to tell.

They didn't see the book when they went to Yaedo today, missing a great opportunity to watch the film.

But it doesn't matter, he has some.

Ying took it with a hint of curiosity, but didn't look at it immediately.

Just as Jiang Bai was about to slip away, Ying called him back.

"Wait a moment, I have something I need you to bring to Morax."

Jiang Bai stopped, a little curious about what he should bring.

Ying summoned someone to bring her a jar of Crimson Cherry Wine, the finest wines ever offered to her.

"I heard that he has relinquished his duties that have lasted for thousands of years. To express my congratulations, please take this pot of wine to him."

Jiang Bai took the jar of wine and carefully placed it away.

"I guarantee I'll deliver it!"

"Don't be so nervous, it's just a jar of wine."

The shadow gazes at the sky, its eyes reminiscing.

"I really miss the days when we drank together..."

At that time, she was just a shadow warrior, and the original seven gods were still alive.

They often gathered together in the land of rocks, sitting across from each other and drinking. Every gathering was a pleasant memory.

However, it had been many years since we had drunk the same wine together.

"If you've figured out your path to eternity, it's not too late to come to Liyue and have a drink with the old man. He's got plenty of free time these days, and Venti has some fine wine buried underground for thousands of years..."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Ying smiled.

"Wendy, is that still his name?"

"Yes, that drunken poet doesn't look like a god at all..."

Ying's smile deepened. "I will definitely go."

Chapter 575 Araki, Unrivaled Under Heaven, Ichidou

After leaving the castle tower, Jiang Bai handed the token given to him by Yae no Miko to Sora, asking him to return it to Miko when he went to Narukami Taisha.

Why don't you take it back yourself?

"It's getting dark, and the sect leader is still waiting for me. I need to go back for dinner."

Jiang Bai spoke with such sincerity that there was no trace of lying.

What a joke! He would never say he was afraid of being troubled by Yae no Miko!

If Yae no Miko found out that he had given that book to Kage, she might very well choose to strangle him.

Of course, bad things have to be done secretly. Once he returns to Liyue, the Eighth Prince will have no way to cause trouble.

"Has Hu Tao not left yet?" Kong asked, somewhat surprised.

“We just came back from Heguan. We originally planned to take a boat back to Liyue, but the thunderstorms in the outer sea were unusually severe, and no ships dared to sail. That’s why we came to ask General Thunder about the situation.”

"He Guan? Is that that very remote island?"

"Yes, that island is quite interesting. It has murals and ruins similar to those in Fendnir. You should check it out."

Kong nodded and noted it down, planning to take a look when he had time.

"I traveled all the way from Kannazuka, and the furthest I went was to Haiqi Island. I just came back not long ago."

"You guys keep having fun in Inazuma. We need to prepare to go back to Liyue. If you miss me, come find me at the Hall of Rebirth."

Jiang Bai waved to them and went back to the old woman's house in Gantian Village.

At Granny Ghost's house, all the members of the Ara-ryū Sect were present, and together they prepared a large table of dishes.

"Grandma, let me tell you, I'm incredibly powerful now! No one in Hanamizaka is my match! Dominating Inazuma Castle is just around the corner!"

"Really, boss? Does that mean our Arataki-ha is the number one gang in Hanamisaka?"

The eyes of his henchmen beside him shone brightly as they looked at Yi Dou with admiration.

"Absolutely!" He wiped his nose, his posture unusually arrogant.

"I, the great one, have returned in triumph! In a few days, I'll make those nine celestial dogs pay!"

Hisagi Shinobu's lips twitched.

She just got back; we can't let her go back to jail to bail people out again.

"It's a pity I won't be able to see you challenge that General Kujo, my boss..." Hu Tao shook her head with some regret.

I've been away from home for too long; it's time to go home.

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down! I'll definitely beat that Nine-Tailed Tengu to a pulp!"

Yi Dou was full of confidence.

To be honest, Hu Tao wasn't very confident that he could win in one round.

Ichidou had only trained for a little over two months. Even if he made rapid progress, he couldn't possibly defeat the Tengu General, who had been training diligently for so long.

Moreover, that general was also the holder of the Eye of God.

It's a pipe dream for Ichidou to think he can defeat her in a short time.

Hu Tao patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, "That's ambitious!"

"Come visit Liyue another day, and I, the sect leader, will treat you to a lavish meal!"

"No problem, no problem!"

Ichidou plans to take some time to visit Liyue soon.

It just so happens that Ren is going to Liyue to pick up some certificate, so it's perfectly fine for him to go along on his way!

"I'm back!" Jiang Bai pushed open the door and entered.

He was carrying a large bag of drinks, all of which were dango milk drinks he bought while shopping with Ying.

Hu Tao stuffed a toothpick into her mouth and held it there, pretending to be full and satisfied.

"You're finally back! We've already finished eating!"

Jiang Bai's face immediately fell. "No way? You didn't leave me any food, did you?!"

"Why didn't you tell me when you'd be back? How am I supposed to know when you'll be back?"

Jiang Bai: (?′°︿°?)

He didn't want to either.

I originally went there to ask for some money, but it ended up being me accompanying someone shopping.

Seeing his expression, Hu Tao burst out laughing.

"Just kidding, come wash your hands and eat, we've been waiting for you."

Jiang Bai immediately beamed with joy, "I knew the Hall Master was the best!"

"Come, come, this is dumpling milk, a delicious dessert personally ordered by General Thunder!"

Jiang Bai served the first portion to Hu Tao.

Then everyone was given a cup.

When he handed it to the old woman, he gave her a special reminder.

"Grandma, this milk tea is quite sweet, please don't drink too much..."

Elderly people are getting on in years, so they should just have a taste and not eat anything too sweet.

“I know,” the old woman said with a very kind smile.

She was very happy that Ichidou had made so many good friends.

Walnut took a bite, and the milk brewed with tea, along with the rich flavor of the dumpling, filled her mouth. With one bite, the dumpling was soft, chewy, and bouncy.

"The taste is indeed very good, but what does it mean that Thor personally ordered it?"

Which business is using deities as a gimmick in their advertisements this time?

"I accompanied General Thunder and Lightning for a stroll on the street today, and she said it was especially delicious."

Hisaki Shinobu was somewhat surprised. "Huh? I think I heard the general was sick. Is everything alright?"

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about it."

He gulped down more than half a cup in one go, chewing on the dumplings in his mouth.

"It really feels great to have something sweet like this once in a while!"

The younger man chimed in, "Mmm! It's delicious. Where's this stall? We'll go buy some sometime..."

"But would General Thunder even go shopping? I can't believe it..."

Hu Tao couldn't imagine the cold and powerful Thunder General shopping.

"Master, that's a stereotype. The general is actually quite easy to talk to in private."
