Chapter 91

"Wait, you're using the new Rock King's body?"

"Yes, and little Yae Miko, let me tell you, this new Rock King is amazing. He's not from this world, he's a human from Otherworld, but his soul is very special. It can contain the souls and consciousness of others. Guess who I saw inside his soul?"

The initially nervous Yae Miko saw Shin's excited expression and couldn't help but think of how Shin would always talk endlessly about her joy to Kage. 500 years have passed, and she's still the same. Well, she can only stay by her side.

Who are they?

The Yae Miko was no longer nervous and cooperated fully with the questions.

"I saw Andrius, the Boreas from Mondstadt, the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, the first Grass Dendro Archon from Sumeru, and even the first Geo God Vago Monarch, from Liyue!"

Shin's eyes practically lit up as he introduced it to Yae Miko.

"Wait, who did you say they were!?"

Although she was supposedly just chatting with Shin, the Yae Miko was still shocked. Good heavens, this new Rock King is a bit outrageous. What kind of gods are inside him? Including the ones Shin just mentioned, this guy already has three first-generation gods and one powerful Demon God from the Archon War era inside him.

So, the reason why the new Rock King suddenly fainted after touching the tree was because he rescued Shin from inside the Sacred Sakura Tree?

"So what's wrong with you now?"

"Oh, that new Rock King is chatting with those guys in his Inner World, so I secretly borrowed his body for a bit."

After saying that, he even raised his index finger at the Yae Miko.

"Don't tell him when he wakes up!"

"Oh, I see."

The Yae Miko nodded helplessly.

"Alright, I've finished explaining my situation. Now let's talk about Ying's situation."

"Little Yae Miko, can you tell me what Shadow has been doing to Inazuma lately?"

Zhen's face was full of smiles, but the Yae Miko felt that the smile was somewhat terrifying, and the little fox's body stiffened.

"Uh... okay!"

Shadow, this time it's not me who's going to cause you trouble, so don't blame me.

152. Yae Miko's personal tour guide service (Bounty 4/11)

"I am very sorry that you encountered this situation in Inazuma."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. I've encountered all sorts of strange things, this is nothing!"

"Um... Is that so?"

"That's right, there are plenty, don't worry about it. Besides, I only arrived in Inazuma today. I was on the ship the whole time, and it was rocking and swaying for several days. To be honest, I wasn't used to it and didn't get a good night's sleep. This time, I finally got a good night's sleep."

Inside a guest room at Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko was respectfully apologizing to Li Yue, who was sitting on the bed, as an ordinary shrine maiden of Grand Narukami Shrine.

Yae no Yae Miko understood Li Yue's meaning. Indeed, with four Demon God inside her, three of whom were the First Generation of Seven Archons, how could she have become like this without encountering many strange things?

Thank you for your understanding.

Before, the Yae Miko might have thought of teasing Li Yue, but now that she knows that Zhen is inside Li Yue's body, the situation is different. Because Zhen told her that Zhen can see the outside world through Li Yue's eyes, she can tease others in front of Zhen, but she dares not tease Li Yue, who is currently inhabited by Zhen.

Moreover, Zhen also said that when Li Yue rests and falls asleep, she can secretly use Li Yue's body. In other words, Zhen's appearance is not a one-time thing. As long as Li Yue is asleep at night, she can secretly borrow Li Yue's body.

Goodness, you two sisters are both so good at this? The older sister resides in the body of the Rock King and can control his body, while the younger sister resides in the body of a puppet she created and can control the Puppet General's body. No wonder you're sisters, even your ways of playing are the same!

Are you two planning to form your own boarding school team?

"Alright, I've rested enough and taken care of one thing. I should leave now. The most important thing hasn't been done yet."

Li Yue got up from the bed, looking like she was about to leave.

"Well, you just said you're new to Inazuma, right? You must not be very familiar with Inazuma. I'm a local from Inazuma and I know Inazuma very well. I can be your guide."

"Hmm? Don't you shrine maidens have to do anything? I'm not particularly familiar with Inazuma, but I remember that shrine maidens are supposed to stay at the shrine."

Li Yue looked at Yae Miko with curiosity, and Yae Miko explained very seriously.

"Miko do stay at the shrine most of the time, but we also go out to see if there are any people in Inazuma who need help, especially those who are new to Inazuma. Because many of the rules in Inazuma are different from those outside, without the help of us shrine maidens who know Inazuma best, it is easy to cause some conflicts."

"Therefore, it would be best for a guest like you, who comes from outside Inazuma, to be accompanied by a shrine maiden. Don't worry, it's free; it's something I should do."

There's nothing we can do. People are genuinely dissatisfied with Inazuma's situation, and Yae is also unhappy with Inazuma's current state. She wants to find someone to wake up Raiden Ei, but she's hampered by a lack of help. As for the ordinary people below, they are being exploited by the Tri-Commission. Although the Yashiro Commission has a conscience, he can't stop the other two magistrates from oppressing the ordinary people in Inazuma. But she can't do anything about it. She can't handle everything herself and can only hope to resolve the issue of Raiden Ei, who is at the source.

Now it's all good. Now she's really back, and there's a new Rock King. With the new Rock King as an ally, she can finally make Shadow wake up.

Therefore, according to the true request, the Yae Miko was to guide this new Rock King to look around Inazuma and see what Inazuma was really like now, so that the true one, who could also see the outside world through Li Yue's eyes, would know what Inazuma had become under the command of the Shadow.

"Oh, okay, then I'll trouble you to show me around."

Li Yue agreed to Yae's request.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. I come from Liyue, my name is Li Yue, and I inherited the power of the Vago Monarch. I am the second Geo Archon of Liyue."

"What?!"

Yae Miko looked very surprised.

"I never expected it to be Lord Geo Archon. This is extremely rude of me."

"It's alright, I don't care about these formalities. I don't really get involved in anything in Liyue anyway."

Thank you for your understanding.

Yae adopted a very humble attitude, demonstrating extreme caution and prudence.

"The reason I came to Inazuma this time is actually about the issue of closing the country off. Your Raiden Shogun suddenly announced the closure of the country, which led to his subordinates, the Kanjō Bugyō, oppressing our Liyue merchants. The merchants' letters of appeal have all been sent to me, so I had no choice but to come here."

"So, you're looking for trouble with Raiden Shogun?"

"I guess so. After all, I did some research on Raiden Shogun before I came. I heard that she has become very paranoid and strange lately. She doesn't even meet with people and has even started a Duel Before the Throne. Going through the normal procedures to see her would probably be very troublesome, so I decided to find her through Duel Before the Throne and make her fight me!"

Li Yue crossed her arms over her chest.

"By the way, by the way, do you know someone named Makoto Raiden?"

"Are you talking about Lady Shin? I know her. She was the owner of this Grand Narukami Shrine back then, and also my nominal owner as a shrine maiden."

Having received a prior "true" hint, Yae Miko readily gave her answer.

"I knew I was right."

Li Yue nodded in satisfaction.

You were wrong, and you were wrong about quite a few things.

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is an ordinary single mother, Barbatos became a servant of the Anemo Archon God, and the first Thor became a servant of the Thunder God. Your reasoning ability is really not very good, but it is precisely because your reasoning ability is not very good that it is quite interesting.

Yae Miko listened to Li Yue's words, she secretly complained to herself.

"Originally, I planned to go directly to Raiden Shogun, but now, a friend I met after coming to Inazuma wants me to wander around Inazuma first. If you can show me the way, that would be perfect."

"That would be wonderful."

Yae a smile.

"Would you like to wait a moment while I help you prepare? After all, Inazuma is mainly composed of various islands, so transportation can be quite troublesome. Please allow me to find someone to arrange transportation first, which will make things more convenient."

"Is that so? Then let's do as you say."

"Then you should rest a little longer."

Li Yue nodded, Yae bowed to Li Yue before leaving the guest room.

After leaving the guest room Yae Miko went directly to the front courtyard of Grand Narukami Shrine.

"Sayu, come out."

A small figure appeared in front of Yae Miko. The small figure swayed and looked as if it hadn't woken up yet.

"Hmm? Looking for Sayu... is there something you need?"

"Sayu, could you please go to the Kamisato clan and ask both Kamisato siblings to come over? Remember, do it as quickly as possible; they have something very important to do. Understand?"

"Ah?"

Sayu was startled by Yae's serious expression, then immediately nodded.

"Sayu understands, let's go now."

With a nod, Sayu immediately hugged her legs and shrank to the ground. Driven by the Anemo element, she transformed into a wind wheel and rushed out of Grand Narukami Shrine.

153. I laugh at the thunder god's self-isolation and the Inazuma man's lack of wisdom!

"Lord Geo Archon, let me introduce you. These two are my friends Ayato and his sister Ayaka."

At the entrance of Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae, along with the Kamisato clan siblings, introduced them to Li Yue.

"And this is the new Lord Geo Archon of Liyue."

"Greetings, Lord Geo Archon."

The Kamisato siblings bowed very respectfully to Li Yue, demonstrating their politeness and adherence to rules.

"Your friend?"

"Yes, my brother and I were once favored by the priestess and were fortunate enough to become her friends."

Li Yue sized up the two people in front of her: Kamisato Ayato, the man once known as the "brother-in-law" who liked to drink milk tea and lean on his chest; and Kamisato Ayaka, miHoYo's early favorite daughter, a woman with two PVs and who had danced the "648 Dance," with countless paparazzi following her.

Li Yue also managed to get Kamisato Ayaka back then, but he didn't go for 648. Instead, he relied on the stones he had saved up before. Besides, Li Yue wasn't a nimble dog from the mountains. If you ask why...

I choose the bigger one!

"While I can act as your guide during this tour of the Inazuma Islands, Lord Geo Archon, there are some aspects that will require the assistance of others. In particular, given your esteemed status, it is natural that you would need some companions, especially to prevent any unreasonable individuals from offending you. My two friends have quite extensive connections in Inazuma, so I can ask them to help manage things."

Yae explained to the side why she had invited the Kamisato siblings over.

Inazuma's current situation, the other two magistrates are causing trouble, and there are various cancers in the Shogunate Army. Although Yae is the Guuji of Grand Narukami Shrine, holding a high position, he is ultimately alone and cannot spare the time to arrange some things. It would be different if Yae Kamisato clan were called upon.

As leaders of the Yashiro Commission, the Kamisato siblings are quite capable, and Kamisato Ayato's Shuumatsuban can pave the way in advance, helping to complete all of Yae's arrangements and making it easier for Yae to fulfill them.

"I see, you've thought of everything very carefully."

Li Yue nodded approvingly.

"Lord Geo Archon, I have sent my friends to make preparations. We can set off now."

"Then let's go."

Guided by Yae, an ordinary shrine maiden, the group embarked on a journey to Inazuma.

When Li Yue went up the mountain, she flew directly from the southwest of Mt. Yougou, while the main road up the mountain started from the Kamisato Estate in the east of Mt. Yougou.

Following the stone steps down the mountainside, after circling Mt. Yougou twice, you arrive at the Mt. Yougou, at the entrance of the Kamisato clan's residence.

Then, they took a boat directly from the dock below the Kamisato clan to Byakko Plain, from where they could go directly to Konda Village. They showed Li Yue the hardships the villagers were living in. They learned from the villagers about the oppression of the villagers by the shogunate soldiers. After the Sakoku Decree, the only cash crop in Konda Village, the Lavender Melon, could no longer be sold to outsiders. The villagers could only eat half full every day and had to pay heavy taxes to the shogunate soldiers.

They then took a boat from the dock on Amakane Island to Kannazuka, where they saw the contaminated Tsurumi Island caused by the leak of the Mikage Furnace. The Mikage Furnace was originally functioning normally, but now it was leaking to the outside world in this state, and it felt like it could explode at any moment. The site was also sealed off by the shogunate soldiers, so Li Yue and the others could not enter at all.

What's even more interesting is that the leak in the Mikage Furnace was visible to the naked eye from the outside, but the soldiers on guard said there was no problem. It's likely that when the report reached Narukami, it would also be a normal report. Li Yue and the others saw a Fontainian shouting that he wanted to go in for repairs, but he was stopped by the Shogunate Army on the grounds that this was Inazuma's internal affair and had nothing to do with foreigners. The group was all greatly shocked by this.

Then, standing on Tsurumi Island, they saw the Yashima- yeon, which seemed to be surrounded by thunder and lightning, as well as the famous Musoujin Gorge -hazaki on Yashima, which could be considered a tourist attraction. Apart from the Watatsumi Island, where the resistance army was located, and the undeveloped islands of Seirai Island and Tsurumi Island, Li Yue had visited three of the four islands inhabited by humans in the Inazuma Islands in just one day.

"Is this the same Musou Isshin that Thor used to kill the Demon God Orobas?"

Standing beside the Musoujin Gorge, looking down at the water below, which had turned into a deadly poison due to the resentment of the Demon God, Li Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

"That's right. At the time, Narukami Ookusho didn't think too much about it. He just killed the great serpent Orobashi here. However, because of the resentment of the Demon God after his death, the seawater here has been polluted and can only remain like this."

As we all know, Demon God unleash their resentment and power after death. The power of Demon God Salt Demon God turned almost all of her followers into pillars of salt. Therefore, the resentment and power of Orobashi, a clearly martial god, would naturally be even stronger after death.

"But this shouldn't have anything to do with the weather here."

Li Yue looked up at the sky. The entire sky above Yashima was covered with dark clouds, and not a ray of sunshine could be seen. Moreover, it was raining heavily, and lightning struck from time to time, randomly. This was no place for a human to stay.

The reason Li Yue and his group were able to climb up so easily was entirely because Li Yue kept her shield activated the entire time. Neither lightning strikes nor torrential rain could affect Li Yue and her group.

"Indeed, this place wasn't like this originally. Was there the resentment of the giant serpent here? But we built a shrine to suppress it. However, after the war started, it became what it is now."

"So, someone destroyed the shrine that was meant to suppress the Demon God's resentment?"

"That's possible."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded.

"And what caused all of this was war."

"So, why does war happen?"
