Divine Child: My Little Hero, I Leave Sister Lady Guuji to You!
Upon arriving at the torii gate at the entrance to Grand Narukami Shrine, the shrine maiden who had brought Bai Ye and the others spoke to Bai Ye:
"Please wait here for a moment, I'll go report to Guuji."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Shrine Maiden."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all..." Hearing Bai Ye say this, the shrine maiden's eyes narrowed with joy. She quickly said to Bai Ye, "I'll go find Guuji right now and be back soon."
Seeing the shrine maiden's attentiveness, Hu Tao crossed her arms, feeling a little jealous.
"Snort!"
She rolled her eyes at Bai Ye.
Soon, the witch returned.
"Guuji has invited you to come over."
"Uh-huh."
Then, led by the priestess, the group arrived behind the Yae-gami.
Under the cherry blossom tree, Yae Miko had her back to them.
Cherry blossoms drifted down as she stood beneath the iris tree. Dressed in a red, white, and jasmine-colored shrine maiden outfit, her long, flowing pink hair was tied back at the ends. Her fox ears, symbolizing her status as a divine messenger, were adorned with earrings inlaid with purple gems, and her lightning-attribute Genshin Eye was embedded in the earrings.
The sleeves are separated from the top and are secured to the upper arms as sleeve covers. A wide black waistband is tied at the back of the waist, and long, white legs are exposed. The legs are as voluptuous as Hu Tao, but with a more voluptuous feel that belongs to a mature woman.
She wore a pair of wooden clogs, her toes round and smooth, like white, translucent seashells.
A fox tail hangs down, its pink color displaying an attractive playfulness and cuteness.
Although her back was to everyone, her slender figure and alluring charm were fully displayed.
"Little ones, you've arrived."
Yae Miko glanced sideways and turned her head slightly, the first thing everyone noticed was her bewitching fox eyes.
It's confusing.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that her eyes are actually slightly upturned, and her gaze is not on any of the people at all.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
Seeing this dazzling and mesmerizing scene, Hu Tao couldn't help but exclaim.
Shenhe frowned slightly.
According to their teacher's teachings, fox spirits are all malevolent creatures that bring chaos to nations. Even before the Archon War began, there were human kingdoms that were said to have perished due to the mischief of fox spirits.
Although the teacher later said that the reason was not the fox demon, but rather the fox demon's eccentric personality, which was one of the reasons for the kingdom's eventual demise.
She couldn't help but look at Bai Ye, hoping that Bai Ye wouldn't be bewitched by this Yae no Guuji.
Shenhe noticed that Bai Ye's eyes were clear and unmoved.
While I found "Bai Ye" quite enjoyable, I didn't feel any infatuation or anything like that.
Are you kidding me? No matter how powerful your Bai Chen clan's seductive arts are, can they be stronger than Asmodeus, who has the power of desire?
Asmodeus's charm had no effect on himself, Yae Miko's charm would naturally have no effect on him either.
On Yae Miko, she could clearly feel that Bai Ye's breathing was normal and not at all rapid, and a sense of frustration rose involuntarily in her heart.
She had already used the Bai Chen clan's ancestral secret technique of bewitching hearts. In terms of this charm alone, the Yae Miko believed that even her predecessor from five hundred years ago Lady Guuji, wouldn't be stronger than her. Under normal circumstances, no man could resist her allure.
Not to mention someone like Bai Ye, who is a rare breed.
Are these young girls, under abnormal circumstances, all dreaming of spending a wonderful night with a beautiful older sister?
As an editor at Yae Publishing House, I've seen many young writers who submit their work write about their relationships with their neighbor's older sister, neighbor's wife, and neighbor's aunt.
Bai Ye, however, was not buying it at all.
Yae Miko felt that she couldn't keep going any longer.
Even though she avoided direct eye contact, the youthful aura emanating from Bai Ye couldn't help but draw her in for closer observation.
You can't observe, or you'll fall into their trap yourself.
Yae Miko quickly withdrew her bewitching technique.
With a smile, she said, "I originally wanted to have a chance to go down the mountain to see the heroes who saved Inazuma, but I didn't expect you to come here. What brings you here?"
Remembering the important matter, Bai Ye immediately said to Yae Miko, "Um, Yae no Guuji..."
"Just call me Yae. I can't put on airs as the hero who saved Inazuma."
Are you trying to avoid putting on airs or are you trying to flirt with me?
It has to be said that Bai Ye has basically become quite experienced at being teased.
Bai Ye continued, "I came here to ask you to help me answer some questions. I've recently encountered some difficulties and need your help to resolve them."
"Alright, of course that's fine." Yae Miko arrived at Bai Ye's side in the next second. Her current strength is still far superior to Shenhe and Hu Tao, and Bai Ye is also somewhat inferior to her even without unleashing his Gods powers.
"But you'll need to express your gratitude for these!"
She whispered it almost into Bai Ye's ear.
Bai Ye was genuinely embarrassed and took two steps to the side.
It's the same as speaking into someone's ear.
Bai Ye discovered that Yae Miko was clearly much more skilled than Yelan and Ningguang. The other two were obviously teasing her, while Yae Miko was aiming to seduce her.
Especially when his fluffy fox ears brushed against your face, it was even more ticklish.
Bai Ye quickly said, "I met a Hanasato in Konda Village."
"Hanasato?"
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Yae Miko paused for a moment.
This action also made Hu Tao and Shenhe, who wanted to stop, stop.
Yae Miko was also aware of Hanasato.
Her origins and her mission are both crystal clear.
Yae Miko's tone became more serious as she softly asked Bai Ye, "So, Hanasato is planning to have you help her with the Great Sakura Cleansing?"
"No, she didn't come to me for the Great Sakura Cleansing."
Bai Ye shook his head.
"Um!?"
Yae Miko was truly surprised this time.
"What is she going to do with you if not perform the Great Sakura Cleansing? It's hard to say..."
The Divine Child's expression turned into a knowing smile.
Then,
She then heard Bai Ye say earnestly, "Hanasato wants to ask me to go into the 'Darkness' to find Miss Lady Guuji's body and soul. Back then, after Lady Guuji was swallowed by the 'Darkness,' her body and soul did not disappear in front of everyone. Hanasato said that perhaps we can find Lady Guuji in the 'Darkness' and bring her back."
Yae Miko's smile froze completely.
There aren't many things that can make her show a surprised expression, but what Bai Ye said at this moment truly surprised her.
"You, you said you'd go to the 'pitch black' to find the Lady Guuji? How is that possible?"
She immediately thought it was a fantasy.
That 'pitch black' is Abyss, a place that all of Teyvat avoids like the plague. Five hundred years ago, Yae Miko actually knew that the Lady Guuji was inside, but no one was allowed to enter it.
Let alone her, even a Shadow would be completely infected by the Abyss if it entered. At that time, Inazuma, who is closely related to the Shadow, might be completely suppressed by the nails that fall from the Heavenly Principles.
None of them had the ability to go.
All they could do was watch as the Lady Guuji sank into the Abyss.
He was in immense pain.
Over time, they came to accept this fact.
The Lady Guuji has vanished forever.
And what did this young man say today?
He went to rescue the corpses and souls of the Lady Guuji.
The Abyss will devour him.
Etc,
Wrong!
Yae Miko thought that Hanasato was not the kind of person who was unaware of the horrors of the Abyss. As a being born from filth, she could not be the kind of person who would casually send people to their deaths.
Unless...
"Aren't you afraid of the Abyss?"
Bai Ye Yae Miko asked Yaya.
"Of course!" Hearing Yae Miko's surprise at her Guest Official, Hu Tao confidently introduced, "Bai Ye isn't afraid of the Abyss at all; on the contrary, the Abyss is afraid of Bai Ye."
"Little guys, you can't just make jokes like that."
"I wouldn't joke with my own life. I can indeed ignore the corruption of the Abyss. However, I don't know if there are any terrifying monsters or the like in that 'pitch black'. So, I came to ask you, Yae, if there are any terrifying creatures in that 'pitch black'. If not, I'm going to go into the 'pitch black' to bring out the Lady Guuji."
"Bai Ye Look at Yae Yae Miko and say to her in a serious tone."
Upon hearing what Bai Ye said, Yae Miko held her forehead.
She could clearly hear the certainty in Bai Ye's tone, proving that he was truly not afraid of the Abyss.
"If he could really bring back Lady Guuji's soul and body..."
Yae Miko felt her heart pounding.
I'm looking forward to it, I'm incredibly looking forward to it.
On one hand, as a senior member of the Hakushin Clan, Lady Guuji had taken great care of her, and her current level of skill was inseparable from her guidance; on the other hand, she felt that she sometimes needed support in her heart.
Over the past five hundred years, everyone else has left, while Ying has secluded herself in her Sanctum of Euthymia, refusing to emerge. She alone supports the outside world, and her heart is filled with immense exhaustion.
If Lady Guuji really does come back to life...
When Yae Miko had no hope, she felt nothing, but now that Yae Bai Ye said she could be saved, her heart was in turmoil.
However, I also need to consider the feelings that Bai Ye mentioned.
If he is truly not afraid of the power of the Abyss, then the importance of Bai Ye is truly immense.
Yae Miko carefully considered the dangers within.
At last,
She replied to Bai Ye, "The terrifying enemies in that 'Darkness' were all killed five hundred years ago. In that war, although we, Inazuma, paid a heavy price, we managed to support the return of the Shadow in time and eliminate those powerful enemies. There weren't many enemies left that retreated into the Darkness. And since the 'Darkness' can't return to the Abyss, it shouldn't have received any reinforcements."
Five hundred years ago, after the defeat of Khaenri'ah, Heavenly Principles also used his power to hinder the Abyss forces entering and leaving Teyvat. Although some contact still exists, large-scale operations are not currently feasible.
Otherwise, the impact would be even greater.
Therefore, Yae Miko was certain that there would be no terrifying enemies inside.
She told Bai Ye the truth, hoping he could enter the 'darkness' and rescue the body and soul of Lady Guuji.
Hu Tao still looked at Yae Miko with suspicion and asked, "Really? Are you sure? Don't let Bai Ye get into trouble later."
At first, she was indeed stunned by Yae Miko's appearance, but when she was concerned about Bai Ye, Hu Tao immediately broke free from her charm and began to doubt Yae Miko.
Shenhe and Kamisato Ayaka looked at Yae Miko with disbelief.
Seeing their lack of confidence, Yae Miko thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Little ones, I'm here to prove it to you..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, her gaze that had been fixed on her.
Bai Ye exchanged a glance.
Yae Miko's heart trembled involuntarily.
Those eyes are truly mesmerizing.
Besides,
He possessed a chivalrous spirit, willing to go through fire and water for others' requests and face the Abyss...
They rescued Lady Guuji.
They didn't care at all about the danger they might encounter.
No one has any reason to blame him for not going at Bai Ye.
But he did it anyway.
I did it without expecting anything in return.
An impulse arose in her heart.
Yae Miko instantly moved close to Bai Ye again.
She placed her hands on his head and gently kissed his Bai Ye.
After kissing her forehead, she looked at Bai Ye Yu:
"My little hero, I'm entrusting the task to you, Sister Lady Guuji."
After saying this, she disappeared before Hu Tao and Shenhe could react.
"My little hero, although there are no powerful enemies in the 'darkness,' your safety is still the most important thing. You must not leave! No matter what the outcome, please come to Grand Narukami Shrine again and let me know."
Behind the cherry blossom tree, Yae Miko gently licked her lips.
"This taste is indeed delicious."
She was talking to herself.
Then,
His eyes narrowed.
She, the Guuji, has her eye on something that she won't let slip away.
"Hmph! That woman, I'll definitely tear her fox tail off next time I see her."
Even after returning to Konda Village, Hu Tao still grumbled indignantly.
Shenhe felt the same way; in fact, if Yae no Yae Miko hadn't just kissed her forehead but had instead kissed her lips, she felt she could have uprooted that cherry blossom tree.
Yong Shenhe uprooted the Sakura Tree.
Because of her family's relationship with Yae Miko, Kamisato Ayaka didn't say it outright. However, she nodded unconsciously when Hu Tao and Shenhe were talking about it.
These were relatively mild cases. In Bai Ye's mind, Hagintos kept muttering about the methods of making various torture instruments, which made Bai Ye's heart pound with fear.
The teacher's proficiency was so high that no one who hadn't been to the Bai Ye Depot would believe it.
Seeing their reactions, Hanasato was also a little confused.
She asked Bai Ye, "What, what's going on?"
"No, no." Bai Ye couldn't very well explain that she had been forcibly kissed by Yae Miko.
"Let's talk about the matter of Lady Guuji. I'm willing to go into the 'darkness' to find Lady Guuji's body and soul."
"Really?"
Hanasato said with delight.
