"Come on, Klee, throw it this way, all the fish are over here!"

Standing on the beach, Bai Ye pointed to a whirlpool and said to Klee.

"Uh-huh!"

Klee nodded excitedly, then took out Bouncy Bomb from her backpack, raised her hand, and threw it into the sea.

Rumble—

A huge explosion rang out, and one after another, sea fish were blasted away by Klee and landed on the beach.

Klee clapped her hands excitedly as she looked at the large pile of sea fish that had landed beside her.

This was far more exciting than throwing bombs into the lake in Mondstadt. Not only were these sea fish much larger and more numerous than those in the lake, but no one stopped her from blasting the fish; in fact, they encouraged her. This made Klee incredibly happy.

He pulled out one Bouncy Bomb after another from his backpack and threw them toward the sea.

Seeing that they had caught enough fish, Bai Ye asked Klee to stop for a moment.

"Klee, go and ask the others to get the fish. We'll be having dinner soon," Bai Ye said to Klee.

Klee nodded seriously. "Yes, yes, I'll go call Albedo and the others right now."

Watching Bai Ye walk away, Kaguya then turned to look at the whirlpool. With a gentle wave of her hand, Klee whirlpool on the sea surface vanished.

He was experimenting with Osial's powers.

A blob of blue liquid appeared in front of Bai Ye.

"Teacher, from now on, as long as I use the mechanical arm, I can freely use the power of the Gods. Hmm, the power of the Gods Osial is quite useful right now." Bai Ye said to her teacher while using the mechanical arm to take Osial's power into her Serenitea Pot.

"Yes, we've acquired another Gods's power. Now, the entire ocean is your domain."

Hagintos said with satisfaction.

She was genuinely happy that her disciple's strength had increased.

"Yes, it's a pity that this power is only somewhat useful in Inazuma. It can't do much in other places." Bai Ye with a hint of regret.

"You should be content! If you could just operate freely on Teyvat, that wouldn't be the power of Osial, it would be the power of the Hydro Archon," Hagintos complained to Bai Ye.

"I'm not thinking about having as much power as possible. Ideally, I'd like to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Archons as soon as I acquire power."

I dream of Bai Ye and day.

Afterwards, he was ruthlessly exposed by his own teacher:

"You're dreaming. What you've obtained is the other party's ability, not their power. Besides, haven't you already taken all of Morax's abilities? Even with his powers, you haven't become a Gods's combatant, let alone other powers?"

Bai Ye, let alone dealing with the Seven Archons, even dealing with Osial is difficult enough; he can only seal him away, and it would take a whole bunch of people to finish him off.

In one-on-one combat, Bai Ye can only deal with weak Gods like me... no, like Huyrria.

"I understand. I'll collect them slowly from now on."

Bai Ye arrived at the beach, ready to wait for Klee to bring people over.

Just then, a beam of light shot straight toward him from the sea. Bai Ye seeing this, Ye didn't hesitate and quickly used the Ruin Chase to condense a shield.

However, the beam of light did not hit Bai Ye; it stopped in front of him.

A jade pendant appears in the light.

Bai Ye was puzzled.

The jade pendant fell directly onto the beach.

Subconsciously, Bai Ye walked over and picked up the jade pendant.

He felt a sense of familiarity with the jade pendant.

Still pondering, Hu Tao and Shenhe walked in front, with Albedo and Xiao following behind.

Wow, so many fish!

When Hu Tao saw these sea fish, he was very excited and said...

As she spoke, she began to pick up the sea fish.

Next, it's time for the barbecue.

On the sea, Zhongli and Grandma Yu nodded slightly when they saw this.

"Let's go, let's go." Zhongli said to Grandma Yu.

"Yes."

The two left the sea area near Guyun Domain.

While Bai Ye and the others were having a barbecue, things were becoming increasingly unpredictable in Inazuma City, a few days' journey south from Guyun Domain.

Inside the tavern, some traveling merchants and wanderers who travel between the islands are spreading a little news.

There are capable people in Liyue who can deal with the evil spirits of Yashiori Island.

The people of Inazuma are not like the drunkards of Mondstadt who have nothing better to do than listen to bards ramble on and on. They don't have much of a concept of Gods or gods. In their minds, defeating Gods means defeating a malevolent spirit.

Inazuma is only so big. Some of it is in enemy hands, and some is completely unsuitable for human survival. There isn't much land left to begin with. Now, with the addition of Yashiori Island, many farmers in Inazuma understand what that means.

If someone from Liyue could handle this...

Everyone kept thinking about this possibility.

A blond youth listened silently to what was happening in the crowd. After finishing his drink, he stood up and walked toward the direction of the Yashiro Commission.

They returned to the Kamisato Clan Yashiro Commission, and then took Thoma to the inner courtyard.

Inside the inner courtyard, a brother and sister were sitting facing each other.

The younger sister, with her neatly combed bangs and a tidy kimono, her blue hair giving her an elegant and dignified air, knelt on the tatami mat, revealing her fair calves and delicate feet clad in socks. Opposite her, the young man appeared somewhat nonchalant, as if everything was within his calculations.

It was the contemporary Yashiro Commission's head of household Kamisato Ayato, and his sister Kamisato Ayaka.

Thoma walked over and overheard Kamisato Ayaka Kamisato Ayato to Ayato Kamisato, "Brother, have you heard about the rumors circulating in Inazuma City recently?"

"Yes." Kamisato Ayato nodded with a smile. At the same time, he noticed Thoma entering and asked, "Thoma, how are things going on your end?"

"Master, the ninjas of the Shippou have spread the news far and wide. Now, Inazuma City is filled with news about the extermination of the evil spirit."

"Yes." Kamisato Ayato smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing Kamisato Ayato's words, Ayaka opened her mouth and looked at her brother with a surprised expression.

"Brother, elder brother, are all these part of your plans?"

"I wasn't the one who fabricated this news," Kamisato Ayato shook his head slightly. "These rumors were originally spread by informants from the Sangonomiya who had infiltrated Inazuma. I just had the ninjas from the Shippou add fuel to the fire."

"A message from the Sangonomiya?" Ayaka frowned and looked at her brother. "Is this the plan of the Sangonomiya's living god shrine maiden?"

"It's a plan, but it should also be true."

Kamisato Ayato nodded.

"There are indeed people in Liyue Harbor who can resolve the effects of the Archon Residue."

"So, what does elder brother plan to do?"

Kamisato Ayaka continued to question Ayato.

"The other two are the ones who are worried about this matter. I estimate that the Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission are both worried right now. We are just loyal servants who reported to the shogun after hearing the news."

The Kanjou Commission is responsible for the foreigners on the Ritou. Inviting the people of Liyue to come here will inevitably go through the Kanjou Commission. Meanwhile, the Tenryou Commission is also considering how much the people of Liyue will react to the invitation. Yashiori Island is on the front line of the war. Whether it can be defended after purification, and how much impact it will have on the Kujou Clan, are all issues that the Tenryou Commission needs to consider.

In this process, their Yashiro Commission of not participating in anything.

Kamisato Ayato stood up and reminded Ayaka Kamisato Ayaka, "By the way, Ayaka, if the Shogun orders an invitation to that person, you might be needed to lead the team to Liyue to make the request."

Kamisato Ayato had also heard rumors that the person who could purify the Archon Residue held an extraordinary position in Liyue. Simply sending an ordinary official would be absolutely impossible.

The Three Commissions all have many things to handle on a daily basis and are unable to spare the time. Therefore, the most suitable candidate is Kamisato Ayaka.

She is Kamisato Ayato's younger sister, and she has both fame and status, so it would be most appropriate to invite her over.

Besides, she's a girl, so even if Liyue isn't happy about it, she wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Besides, this is also a great opportunity for Inazuma to make a name for himself.

Everyone will remember the person who solved the Yashiori Island problem.

"Um."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded earnestly.

She was genuinely curious about anyone who could resolve the evil spirits. At the same time, she was also incredibly curious about Liyue Harbor, wanting to see this world that was completely different from Inazuma City.

Guyun Domain

The group gathered around the fire, roasting fish.

Since we don't have any cooking utensils, we might as well just set up a fire and start grilling the fish.

Bai Ye took out seasonings from the Serenitea Pot and distributed them to everyone. After processing the fish, everyone started grilling it.

Fortunately, everyone had a lot of wilderness survival experience, so grilling the fish wasn't too difficult.

Albedo held two skewers of grilled fish, grilling one for himself and another for Klee. After grilling, Albedo to Klee.

"Klee, don't rush to eat, be careful it's hot. Also, watch out for fish bones."

"Mmm, mmm..."

Klee nodded repeatedly.

Then I picked up the grilled fish and quickly took a bite.

"Hot!"

Klee let out a whimper.

Upon seeing this, Albedo quickly went to take care of her.

Cloud Retainer held the grilled fish and grilled it with elegance and ease.

"Bake it until it's medium-rare, then sprinkle with salt, and continue baking..."

She was grilling the fish while thinking about how to cook it.

This was the recipe for grilled fish that guy taught her back then. She had never made it before because it would remind her of him. Now, however, Cloud Retainer would never think that way.

"Hmph, if you don't have a physical form, you can't eat it, right? As for me, not only can I taste your grilling technique, but I can also eat it right in front of you."

Cloud Retainer thought to himself with smug satisfaction.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I decided to bake another one.

As for Bai Ye, he looked at the three grilled fish in front of him with a conflicted expression on his face.

"Bai Ye, grilled fish."

Shenhe looked at Bai Ye with eager eyes and said.

"Come, come, my friend, I made this grilled fish especially for you. How about it? Aren't you especially grateful to Bentang?"

Hu Tao put her arm around Bai Ye's shoulder.

"Bai Ye, this is the grilled fish I made for you."

Ganyu lowered her head shyly and said to Bai Ye.

"This..."

Looking at the three fish in front of Bai Ye, he pondered how to solve the problem.

Choosing which one to eat isn't a multiple-choice question; it's a question of selecting all options. The real issue is deciding which to eat first and which to eat next.

Bai Ye looked at the fish, then at the three people.

"How do I choose? This is not a good choice."

Hagintos smiled and teased in Bai Ye's mind.

"If the teacher were still alive, you wouldn't be so conflicted; you could just choose me. But now, there's nothing I can do to help you."

Hearing her teacher say that, Bai Ye retorted indignantly, "Teacher, why are you so sure I'll choose you first?"

"Hmph, you dare not choose me!"

Hagintos said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Come on, let me see how you should handle this situation."

"This..."

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Ye made her choice.

He quickly took out a plate and a pair of chopsticks from his Serenitea Pot, and then swiftly pried open the bellies of the three grilled fish to make three pieces of fish meat of similar size.

Then, he closed his eyes and quickly rearranged the three pieces of fish, eventually making himself forget about them.

Then she opened her eyes, picked up her chopsticks, and smiled as she prepared to taste them.

When Hu Tao saw what he did, her eyes widened in disbelief.

You can do that?!

Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled and picked up a piece of fish.

Yes, this tastes really good, very flavorful and experienced.

After finishing this piece, he picked up another one.

The meat was somewhat broken, as if it had endured tremendous pressure. However, this also had one advantage: the salt had seeped into the meat, making it quite flavorful at Bai Ye.

This last one.

He ate it at Bai Ye.

"How is it, Bai Ye?"

Hu Tao asked Bai Ye.

"It's alright, pretty good, it's even better than food made by the gods."

Bai Ye's expression froze for a few seconds before she answered Hu Tao.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Bai Ye say this with certainty," said Ye.

At least, it just tasted strange and made her stomach feel a little uncomfortable. If she were to taste the food prepared by that god, she would probably be able to see his great- Bai Ye.

"In that case, you should eat more."

Hu Tao happily continued to hand it to Bai Ye.

Shenhe remained silent, but his movements were swift and decisive.

Ganyu lowered her head shyly, and Kao Yu also followed Shenhe and Hu Tao with a little shyness.

Just as Bai Ye was struggling with his decision, Cloud Retainer tapped him on the back.

"Here, try this."

Bai Ye, it's the same as eating it at the Guizhong.

The Cloud Retainer thought of this in his heart.

"Ah!!!!!!"

Subsequently,

After hurriedly eating some of the grilled fish, Bai Ye quickly made her escape.

Having summoned Albedo, Bai Ye planned to deal with the Abyss within his body and also study his alchemical methods of constructing the human body.
