Chapter 96

"That's right. The reason I came to Inazuma this time is to see your Her Excellency. After all, her Sakoku Decree has already affected Liyue, which is why I came to Inazuma."

"Alright, I had almost finished eating before you arrived. Now I'm going to rest. I'll go see your Her Excellency thing tomorrow morning."

Li Yue stood up as she spoke.

"Wait, are you going to rest?"

Ying had been waiting for this opportunity. The Yae Miko told her that as long as Li Yue fell asleep, she would really come out.

"Yes, I'm meeting your Raiden Shogun tomorrow, so I need to get some rest today."

Yae Miko also stood up.

"Lord Geo Archon, please come with me. I have already arranged a room for you to rest."

As he spoke, he was about to take Li Yue away.

Seeing that Yae and Li Yue were about to leave, Ying quickly stood up as well.

"Wait, Yae Miko, I'm going too."

Li Yue looked at Ying with a puzzled expression.

"You're going too?"

"Yes, I'll go too."

"I'm going to sleep, are you going to sleep too?"

"Yes, I want to sleep together too."

Ying nodded affirmatively. Although she didn't need sleep, she could sleep with him!

She was waiting for Li Yue to rest and then wake up, so she could see her the moment she came out!

Li Yue was completely bewildered by Ying's words, and Yae was also speechless as he looked at her.

My poor Shadow, I'm telling you that once the Rock King falls asleep, he will control his body and wake up. I'm not telling you to go to sleep too. If you wait until he falls asleep, he will control his body and wake up to find you.

After a moment of utter bewilderment, Li Yue couldn't help but smile.

Is this for real? I haven't even started acting yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep!

160. This Thor, I can make her have three children in five years!

For Li Yue, this wasn't the first time he'd slept in the same room as a beautiful girl. After all, in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, he usually slept in the same room as Hu Tao, even though there were several coffins in the room, one for Li Yue, one for Hu Tao, and a few empty coffins next to them.

Today, I'm sleeping in the same room as a beautiful girl again, but this time it's not in a coffin; the beautiful girl is right next to me, but...

Li Yue lay on the bed, looking at Ying sitting next to her, staring blankly at her, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Although Yae found it ridiculous that Kage wanted to sleep with Li Yue, she didn't stop him. After all, Li Yue was the current King of Rock, and he had so many powerful figures behind him. Even if it was Kage, it wouldn't be a loss!

As a result, Ying really followed Li Yue into the room.

Li Yue didn't stand on ceremony and lay down on the bed. She clapped her hands at the spot next to her, and Ying, after a slight pause, came over. Then, under Li Yue's expectant gaze, she knelt down and began to stare intently at Li Yue.

Is this what you mean by "sleeping together"?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ying was somewhat puzzled by Li Yue's silent stare.

"Is this how you sleep?"

"I don't actually need to rest because of some special reasons. I can just sit. You can rest and don't need to worry about me."

Is this something I can just ignore? Do I need you watching me? I need you to come in and help me... cough cough.

"I understand the logic, but can you please stop looking at me like that?"

Don't you want me to watch you?

Ying asked curiously.

"Yes, I can't sleep if someone is watching me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider that."

Ying apologized very sincerely, then shifted her body so that she was sitting with her back to Li Yue.

As soon as she sat down, Li Yue felt even more awkward. The clothes Ying was wearing were alright on the upper body, but the lower body, especially the kimono skirt, was extremely short. So when Ying sat down with her back to Li Yue, what was right next to Li Yue's head were Ying's feet and buttocks.

In Li Yue's view, what he saw were feet wrapped in black over-the-knee stockings after taking off high-heeled clogs, and black lace covering her buttocks squeezed out from under her skirt as she sat down.

Hiss--

Are you testing me with this?

After inspecting it with an appreciative look, Li Yue nodded affirmatively. "Hmm, there's absolutely no odor. This doll's body is impeccable. Ying's craftsmanship is truly impressive."

Looking at Ying's upright figure, Li Yue nodded in satisfaction. Li Yue had previously considered using Zhen to deceive Ying, but Li Yue hadn't expected Ying to be so obedient. If that were the case...

"Never mind, you should just turn around."

"Huh? Should I turn around?"

Hearing Li Yue's words, Ying couldn't help but feel curious.

"Aren't you unable to sleep because people are watching you?"

"It's alright. It feels weird having you with your back to me all the time. You should face me. I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"OK."

Ying turned around again, staring intently at Li Yue.

"Please feel free to tell me what you need."

"It's okay, you can just sit like this."

As Li Yue spoke, she turned her head and rested her head on her thigh.

I'm not pretending anymore! I'm lusting after her body!

Having transmigrated to Teyvat, Li Yue not only sought out fun everywhere but also kept an eye out for beautiful women. Unfortunately, in Li Yue's opinion, the pretty girls he met in the game were better suited to be friends in real life. For example, although he slept in the same room as Hu Tao, Li Yue had absolutely no interest in sex. Instead, he found it more fun to Zhongli Zhong Li with Hu Tao. Keqing's black stockings were very nice, and her butt-slanting sword technique was also excellent, but in reality, Keqing's personality was too rigid, so it was better to be friends.

Other items, such as Ningguang and Yelan, are not on Li Yue's XP.

And, most importantly, Li Yue likes big things! Like the shadow in front of her!

Guys, I really love this!

With her head resting on Ying's lap, and looking up, only half of her back was filled with the ceiling. This field of vision was truly amazing!

But that wasn't enough. After Li Yue rested her head on Ying's lap, Ying peeked halfway out of the shadows and asked gently.

Is that all?

Based on that naive statement of hers, I feel like she could have three children in five years!

Li Yue gave Ying a thumbs up.

"Thank you, that's fine!"

Feeling the soft touch on the back of her head, Li Yue slowly closed her eyes, while Ying, still kneeling, also closed her eyes and began to concentrate. The whole room became quiet.

Kage has followed Makoto since birth. Kage, who considers himself a shadow warrior, is usually only accompanied by Makoto and his family. Because he is inclined towards martial arts, he usually trains his martial arts skills seriously. He does everything according to his sister's orders and basically has no opinions of his own. He is not even clear about some common sense.

The only time she truly began to make her own decisions was after Shin's passing. And the result was that, after finally being allowed to make her own decisions, she led Inazuma and ran wildly down a side road.

Because of the continuous departure of relatives and friends, in the end only Yae Miko, the little fox who was still young at the time, was left with her. As a result, Kage was completely dead, and there was no one around who could truly help her. Especially with the situation of Cainrea, she felt that in order to keep Inazuma safe, it would be best to make Inazuma stop moving.

She turned her body into a doll and housed her consciousness in the Dream of One Heart. She hid in the One-Mind Domain to continuously cultivate and strengthen herself. The outside world used the indestructible doll to resist Erosion, ensuring her long-term existence and thus protecting Inazuma. She then issued the Sakoku Decree to cut Inazuma off from communication with the outside world. Finally, she issued the Vision Hunt Decree to prevent too many holders of the Vision from causing trouble.

The Shadow's original intention was good, but he overestimated the abilities of the Puppet General and the Tri-Commission. As a result, Inazuma not only did not get better, but also did not maintain the status quo. Instead, things got worse!

If we were to ask Li Yue which of the four gods he has encountered so far is least suitable to be a leader, in Li Yue's eyes, Shadow would be number one.

Although Venti may slack off and not get involved in anything, he always secretly covers for Mondstadt whenever something happens. Zhongli has been with Liyue three thousand years. Although there are still some details that are not quite right, he has really done a lot.

Nahida doubted herself for hundreds of years because of a few words from the sage. Although she came out later, it had no impact on the essence of Sumeru. Apart from replacing the original group of Grand Sage and stopping their experimental plan, Sumeru remained the same. Although it is not clear that she improved Sumeru, at least it did not become worse.

While the Shadow, as a god, is indeed incredibly powerful in terms of martial arts, she is utterly incompetent in governance. Not only did she fail to improve Inazuma, but things went downhill from there. If this were recorded in history, it would probably be documented as Inazuma's lost ** years.

Although most of the actions were caused by the Tri-Commission, she had no one around to help her supervise Tri-Commission, and she herself cut off her communication channels with the lower ranks. These factors combined led to the shogun being completely deceived by the Tri-Commission, resulting in Inazuma's current situation.

Raiden Shogun, Raiden Shogun, what she is best suited to be is a general, not a king.

After a period of silence in the room, a fluctuation of elements occurred. Ying opened her eyes and looked down. What she saw was no longer Li Yue, but a purple-haired girl who looked almost exactly like her. The purple-haired girl was now smiling and looking at her.

"Shadow, I'm back."

161. Yae Miko, you have come at just the right time!

It's true, she really is back!

The familiar power, the familiar voice, the familiar smile—even my Dream of One Heart was stirred.

It's all true, she really is back!

"Real!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ying immediately hugged him.

"You're really back."

"Yes, I really am back."

[Zhen] embraced Ying's trembling body, patting her gently with both hands.

Li Yue didn't just close his eyes and do nothing. He deliberately went into his Inner World and claimed to have met a woman who looked a lot like Kazuma. Then Zhen immediately told him everything about her and Ying.

The specific wording would be something like: Let me tell you, about her past...

As Li Yue listened to Zhen's rambling, she felt that Zhen was inexplicably similar to that woman from Liyue. However, thanks to Zhen's rambling, Li Yue learned many details about Zhen and Ying's interactions, as well as things that Ying didn't know. This information was perfect for her interactions with Ying.

The two sisters hugged and snuggled together for a while, then sat up, leaning against each other shoulder to shoulder, and started chatting.

"What exactly happened? You were already gone, so why are you in the Sacred Sakura Tree? And what's with the new Rock King?"

"This is a long story."

Zhen gently stroked her cheek and thought for a moment.

"Is my Dream of One Heart?"

"It's with me!"

Ying directly pulled her Dream of One Heart out of her heart right in front of him.

"I can feel your consciousness inside, right?"

"Yes, in order to resist Erosion, I stored my consciousness in this knife you left me."

Ying nodded immediately in response.

"Actually, my consciousness is here too."

"Well?"

Ying looked at Zhen in surprise, while Zhen smiled and shook her head.

"Actually, I did not die completely at that time; my consciousness was preserved with the help of a higher power."

Shin took the Dream of One Heart from Ying's hand and gently stroked it.

"I have preserved my consciousness and the seed of the Sacred Sakura Tree in this Dream of One Heart, and then I have given it to you."

After listening, Ying carefully examined Dream of One Heart, but found nothing; he was still the same as always.

"But I didn't feel anything at all."

"Because my consciousness will only awaken when you truly unleash the full power of your Dream of One Heart. The reason you haven't realized it yet is because you haven't fully unleashed the power of your Dream of One Heart."

"I see, so I didn't do a good enough job..."

Ying lowered her head.

"Because there are conditions for unleashing the full power of Dream of One Heart."

The reason why the future Shadow was able to unleash the full power of Dream of One Heart was because she was willing to move forward with Inazuma for the sake of Inazuma's dream, and for this she did not hesitate to overturn her own eternity, and wave Dream of One Heart in her hand at the general who faithfully carried out her eternal plan.

This is completely different from her current self, who has rejected the wishes of Inazuma's subjects. At that time, the blade she wielded carried not only her own power but also a promise to Inazuma's subjects to move forward. Only then could the power of her Dream of One Heart be fully unleashed.

"You can't understand those things right now, so I won't tell you. You need to experience them for yourself. Only when you experience them will they truly have an effect and allow you to plant the Sacred Sakura Tree."

"Should I plant the Sacred Sakura Tree?"
