Traveler, What Does Wife-sama Mean?

Night fell, and the stars shimmered brightly.

Kong sat cross-legged on the rooftop, carefully sensing the changes in the Soul Power within his body.

The power that had appeared out of nowhere within him at the moment his martial soul awakened was what was known as "Innate Soul Power." But for Kong, it should be described as "Elemental Power."

This power was incredibly strong. Kong did not know what Soul Power was like, but this Elemental Power was not only powerful—it was constantly strengthening his physique.

Soul Power probably did not have that effect, right?

"Raiden Shogun, is that you?"

Suddenly, Kong called out in his heart.

He had always felt that his other martial soul should be Wife-sama, the Raiden Shogun!

After he finished testing his Soul Power, Yu Yuanzhen and the others had not said anything about what exactly had happened when he awakened his martial soul earlier.

That left Kong deeply confused. If he had merely awakened Engulfing Lightning, they should not have reacted like that before he even tested his Soul Power.

Just as Kong was feeling somewhat disappointed that he had received no response, a purple figure appeared beside him. Though she was called a figure, she possessed a physical form.

"Traveler, we meet again."

A voice both pure and alluring sounded beside Kong's ear.

She wore a short purple kimono and long black stockings...

No emotion could be seen in her purple eyes.

Kong froze slightly, silently thinking, Just as I thought.

General-sama had mistaken him for Traveler Kong?

That was not wrong, though. After all, he was the one controlling him, and he himself was "Kong." It was just that the princess in the Abyss was not his younger sister, but Kong's younger sister.

"Are you the General, or Ei?"

When pulling cards, he had pulled Raiden Shogun. It had little to do with Ei Wife, so Kong desperately wanted to know who the person before him was.

Well, it did not really matter who she was. They looked exactly the same anyway...

Right, Wife-sama!

"I am the Raiden Shogun. I am the eternal law. I..."

"The one within is currently asleep. Shall I call her?"

"???"

Kong was slightly stunned upon hearing that. Not only had the General come with him, but Ei Wife had come too?

That made sense. Though he had pulled Raiden Shogun, the Raiden Shogun did indeed share a body with Ei Wife.

It was only natural that she had come along as well.

Kong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No need. If Ei is asleep, then let her sleep."

"By the way, General, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

They had suddenly crossed into another world, yet Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei had not asked a single question. It was truly strange.

"Another world, transmigrator, Traveler—aren't we now doing exactly what you once did?"

Raiden Shogun asked in return.

In Teyvat, transmigrators occasionally arrived. The living beings of Teyvat had long grown accustomed to it, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.

Kong: "..."

You make a good point. I have nothing to say.

Suddenly, Raiden Shogun seemed to think of something and said to Kong, "Traveler, what does Wife-sama mean?"

"When I heard your call before, you said something like, 'Raiden Shogun Wife-sama, answer me...'"

Kong blinked, his mouth slightly open as he found himself somewhat speechless. He glanced at Raiden Shogun and, seeing that she was not holding a Naginata, finally let out a sigh of relief.

Based on Kong's understanding of Raiden Shogun, if she could ask such a question, then she was not teasing him. She genuinely did not know what it meant.

"General-sama, look, Wife-sama also contains the word sama. It is an honorific I use for you."

"Raiden Shogun Wife-sama is something only used for people one respects in my hometown."

Kong spoke without blushing or missing a beat.

He had no idea whether he could withstand Musou no Hitotachi.

"You are lying, yet you are not lying. Strange?"

Kong: "???"

Damn, was I almost exposed?

Raiden Ei was a country girl from Inazuma, and as Raiden Ei's predecessor, Raiden Shogun was equally innocent.

She basically did not bother reasoning with people. If possible, she would rather cut them down first.

"Wait, Raiden Shogun, do you feel that your power has been sealed away or vanished?"

Kong hurriedly changed the subject. This was also what he most wanted to ask at the moment.

Hearing this, Raiden Shogun hesitated slightly. After thinking for a while, she finally said, "My power has not completely vanished, but it is closely tied to you. How much of my strength I can wield depends on your Elemental Power."

"This world is rather interesting."

Kong nodded. It seemed that after Raiden Shogun became his martial soul, her power had likely disappeared.

What about Ei Wife, then?

Glancing at the somewhat dazed Raiden Shogun, Kong thought, This foolish country girl probably doesn't know either, does she?

"Raiden Shogun Wife-sama, why don't you go back and rest first?"

The General's mere appearance did not consume much Elemental Power. No, it should be called Soul Power now.

Without fighting, the General could remain present for four or five hours.

Having already fooled the General once, Kong was becoming more and more practiced at calling her Wife-sama.

"I do not need rest."

As a puppet, she did not need rest.

Kong: "..."

"You seem to be going to obtain some kind of soul ring tomorrow. I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, Raiden Shogun transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and returned to Kong's body.

"Phew..."

Kong shuddered all over. He had finally covered it up. This was his dark history—his once-believed two-dimensional wife had actually become his martial soul.

Even when he had first transmigrated, Kong had not dared imagine something like this.

"How much strength General Wife can wield depends on my Soul Power, so there is no need to absorb soul rings for now."

"Then I'll let Engulfing Lightning serve as my first martial soul. It was once Ei's accompanying divine artifact, and was later wielded by the General."

"On Douluo Continent, it should at least count as a Super Divine Artifact, right?"

"After all, Poseidon's Trident has trouble even smashing through a city wall... Hahaha... I'm dying."

As Kong thought, he returned to his room. Closing the door, turning off the lights, and going to sleep were completed in one smooth motion.

He had fallen asleep, but some people could not.

"Big Brother, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"If you had told me sooner, how could I possibly have offended such a great god?!"

Yu Luomian complained to Yu Yuanzhen.

Kong had merely awakened a martial soul, yet it had triggered a heaven-shaking phenomenon. A god had descended, and a divine artifact had become a martial soul.

It was too shocking!

Yu Luomian still had not fully recovered from it.

"Tell you earlier?"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, pointing at Yu Luomian's nose as he said, "Tell you earlier? Do any of you still have any regard for this old man, your Clan Master and family head?"

"The divine son this old man personally brought back—even this old man treats him with utmost courtesy! Yet you people dared give him disdainful looks!"

"He is such a small child. Is a surname alone worth targeting him like this?"

"You've lived your lives backwards!"

"If this old man falls one day, how will people like you protect the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!?"
