The Second Arm of Divine Authority
Having finally spotted the people from Liyue, Bai Ye continued to ask Beidou:
"By the way, besides the Batrice incident, has anything else happened in Liyue recently?"
"Well, besides the construction of Guili Plains, what else has been happening in Liyue lately?" Beidou raised an eyebrow, reached out and patted Bai Ye on the shoulder, saying, "Your mechanisms are really good. The speed at Guili Plains is truly astonishing. By the way, that power device you made for the vehicle was recently taken apart by people from other research institutions in Liyue and installed on the ship. I must say, it works quite well."
That's really great.
Bai Ye was very happy to hear Beidou say that.
The number of inventions I can think of is still too small, and as my strength grows, the responsibilities I have to shoulder increase. Some inventions and creations related to the lives of ordinary people may simply be beyond my comprehension. At this time, it would be wonderful if someone with an active mind and strong hands-on skills could also start trying to discover inventions.
Seeing Bai Ye looking happy, Beidou patted him on the shoulder a few more times. "I thought you would be upset. After all, by doing this, they're basically stealing your business ahead of time."
And this one too!
Bai Ye suddenly started feeling chest pain again.
"My money!"
Seeing his behavior, Beidou found it quite amusing. However, after the initial amusement, she keenly sensed a murderous aura emanating from him.
Beidou looked back and saw that the Thunder God of Inazuma was looking at him with sharp eyes.
Have to...
It seems that even Chen Qi's the Seven cannot resist the allure of Bai Ye.
After a period of heartache, Bai Ye recovered.
At that moment, he saw Kazuha Mano, who had come with Beidou, pick up a glass of juice and walk over with him.
If there's one person that Bai Ye Gen is confident he can outdrink, it's Kaedehara Kazuha.
"Come on, let's have a few drinks."
Bai Ye, carrying the juice, went to find Kazuha.
Evenly matched opponents, tonight we're going to drink until we drop!
The next day, Beidou left Watatsumi Island early.
Now that things are settled on Watatsumi Island, it's best to prepare as soon as possible, whether it's to take this time to visit other countries or to prepare for Liyue in advance.
Upon reaching the ship, Beidou smelled a strong odor of alcohol. She took two steps forward and saw Kazuha leaning against the mast, fast asleep.
No, he really drank!
Beidou's expression widened slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
However, this thought was quickly dismissed. A soft snore could be heard beside Kazuha. Beidou looked closely and saw Venti resting on the other side.
Beidou clapped his hands and gave orders to his sailors.
"Alright, let's take Kazuha to his room first, and then tie up this bard so he won't steal wine when he wakes up later."
After doing all this, she prepared to board the ship and leave.
Venti couldn't help but smile slightly at that moment.
Now that Inazuma in the present, Beelzebul's determination to protect Bai Ye is probably even greater than his own, and there's nothing particularly dangerous left for Inazuma to do, so it's time for him to withdraw and return.
Hmm, let's go back to the old man and ask for our payment first.
See how well I did this time? Not only did I protect Little Bai Ye's safety, but I also helped him gain so much: the Heavenly Principles' Sword, the power of the Gods, 'Dreamy Musou', and swordsmanship from Raiden Ei.
Oh, and most importantly, there's the emotional aspect of that Raiden Ei...
Etc.
Venti remembered something.
This helped Bai Ye, but it also tricked the old man's beloved daughter from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
He probably wouldn't blame Bai Ye; it's probably himself...
"No, I'd better run away as soon as this ship gets close to Liyue."
Venti didn't dare ask for any more compensation.
Life is more important.
"Um... I definitely won't drink with Kazuha again next time. I don't even know what happened yesterday."
As Bai Ye opened his eyes, he thought to himself.
Although neither he nor Kazuha were drinking alcohol, the people around them were drinking too. The evaporating alcohol was enough to overwhelm Bai Ye and Kazuha.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the sound of waves. Bai Ye rolled over and found himself on a small boat at sea.
Across from him, the smiling Miyoshi Chiyo sat by the window, admiring the sea view. She was still dressed in a shrine maiden's attire, which made Bai Ye unable to help but have inexplicable associations with her.
Miyoshi Chiyo secretly chuckled as she watched Bai Ye's reaction.
Teasing Little Bai Ye is really fun.
However, she was just teasing him; it felt superfluous, unlike the other girls. She had a lover, and only felt that Bai Ye was a younger brother she wanted to be close to and tease. She wanted to deliberately make him shy, and then seriously lecture him.
The allure of the Bai Ye is very effective on those who are single, but those who already have a lover can restrain themselves.
Although Bai Ye is incredibly popular, he is not a NTR (Netorare, a derogatory term for a male prostitute). Even the previous "La Signora" Rosalyn trembled upon seeing Bai Ye, but she rationally told herself it was wrong and urged herself to correct her behavior. The current Miyoshi Chiyo is the same.
Where are we?
Bai Ye asked Miyoshi Chiyo where they were currently located.
"We are on our way back to Inazuma City," Miyoshi Chiyo said to Bai Ye.
Although Miyuki received treatment on Watatsumi Island, and Bai Ye even gave Miyoshi Chiyo a significant boost to her life force, I still want to return to Raiden Ei Inazuma City as soon as possible to give Miyoshi Chiyo a thorough check-up.
Although the Watatsumi Island was supposed to be peaceful, Kage hadn't received any orders from the Shogunate Army, so he decided to return first.
At this time, Bai Ye was still hungover from drinking with Kazuha, so Kage carried Bai Ye directly onto the ship and set off for Narukami Island.
Bai Ye glanced at the cabin and could tell that the ship wasn't very big, only big enough to support a few people for navigating near the coast.
"By the way, the one piloting the boat here is..."
"I'm piloting the ship," Shadow's voice came from outside the cabin.
Bai Ye stood up and walked out.
Then you see Ying casually slashing out with a blade of wind behind him.
The force of these gusts of wind propelled the ship forward.
"This is really creative..."
Bai Ye didn't know how to describe it.
"Now that you're awake, we can move quickly."
Shadow's slashing movements became even faster, accompanied by lightning that struck from behind.
She hadn't wanted to disturb Bai Ye's sleep, so her movements were very gentle. Now that Bai Ye was awake, speed was the priority.
The small boat immediately became very fast.
The boat was a small vessel carrying only a few people, and the shadow's energy was terrifying. Combined, the boat's speed could only be described as terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, they had already traveled from the outer sea of Watatsumi Island to Yashiori Island.
At this moment, a sound like the ship was about to fall apart came from the ship. In order to avoid news of the Raiden Shogun swimming back to Inazuma City if the ship really had a problem, Shadow could only slow down slightly.
At this moment, Ying also started chatting with Bai Ye.
"Inazuma, is there anything else you want to find?"
Yesterday, after learning that Bai Ye had found Miyoshi Chiyo, it was time for Kage to leave Inazuma.
Swordsmanship training isn't something that can be achieved overnight, and Bai Ye and Liyue still have many things to do. Even if she didn't want Bai Ye and her sister to leave, she had no reason to. However, the problem could still be solved; she could lift the Sakoku Decree, Inazuma would eventually need to interact with other countries.
Just go find them yourself.
In order to give Bai Ye Inazuma a perfect ending to his last moments, Kage wanted to ask Bai Ye what else he wanted to gain.
"Um..."
Seeing Ying Shi's serious expression, Bai Ye Inazuma pondered what else Raiden Ei could do for him.
Etc,
I can actually do something nice right now.
Previously, the Gods only had one arm of power, but now it should be possible to get another one, right?
Now, let's recalculate the Gods's power that we haven't yet pieced together into one.
Osial is one, Orobas is another, Makoto and Beelzebul are also one. Oh, right, and Asmodeus's power too.
We're almost ready to build the other arm for the mecha.
This time, Bai Ye planned to make it more elaborate. At the same time, the front arm should also be repaired.
Once both arms are finished, it will be even more imposing when facing enemies.
Otherwise, having only one arm always feels a bit frail.
Bai Ye explained his idea to Raiden Ei.
"Okay, I'll make it for you when I get back." Raiden Ei nodded.
She also wanted to see the process of making Bai Ye's arm.
"As for decorations... I have ready-made materials here." Ying looked at Yashiori Island: "The remains of the Orobas are still there. Although they don't have any powers, they can be carefully crafted into decorations."
Inside the jade pendant, Orobas's eyes widened.
No, my corpse is about to disappear!
Just as He was thinking this, Osial patted Him.
"What? You're not convinced?"
"No."
"Orobas said through gritted teeth."
I hate it! Why is Osial the complete form?!
"Are you not convinced? Let me tell you, even if you had your own body again, you still couldn't beat me."
Looking at Osial who wanted to argue, Orobas said smugly, "Me? I'll be your wife in the future!"
Although Batrice's strength is considerably weaker than his own, Orobas is roughly on par with him. Batrice still possesses the ability to become a counterweight in tipping the scales.
Etc...
At this moment, Osial remembered a question. Where would they go after Batrice was subdued?
I definitely wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
If it's in the same jade pendant as mine, then this Orobas side would be quite an eyesore.
So, together with Asmodeus...
The thought that Batrice awaken some incredible hobby was something he really couldn't handle.
"At that time, I will have no choice but to ask Zhongli to help me build another one."
Osial thought to himself.
It just benefited Orobas; back then, he probably kept it all inside a jade pendant by himself.
He owed the favor, but Orobas ended up getting all the benefits.
"No, we need to make that Little Bai Ye collect more remnants of Gods later. When that happens, we'll definitely turn Orobas's room from a two-person room into a large dormitory."
Osial thought to himself.
Bai Ye and Kage turned around and arrived at Yashiori Island. On Yashiori Island, Kage first told the Shogunate Army not to engage in battle with the Watatsumi Island army. Both sides should maintain their current defensive lines and then proceed to negotiate a ceasefire.
After doing all that, Xing Houying went and collected all the remains from Orobas.
Yes, these decorations are quite nice.
After completing these tasks, Bai Ye continued their journey.
This time, we headed directly towards Narukami Island.
At this moment, Bai Ye looked south, where lightning was faintly visible.
Over there, was the Thunder Bird, which had been slain by the Raiden Ei.
Unfortunately, there's nothing Bai Ye can do about Thunderbird's situation.
It is neither Gods nor a monster like the Lady Guuji. Thunderbird Kapachiri is a completely monstrous creature.
There's not much that Bai Ye's abilities can do against elemental creatures; the only option is to fight them head-on.
Ying also saw the direction of Bai Ye's gaze, and she immediately said to Bai Ye, "When the time comes, you can give Kapachiri a break."
Once the arm is created, it always needs a testing ground. The Electro Hypostasis formed from the slain Thunderbird Kapachiri is a perfect opportunity for Bai Ye to test its abilities.
"Um."
Bai Ye nodded.
Even though I can't save them, I still want to do what I can.
Bai Ye also remembered the events on Tsurumi Island, and he planned to tell Hu Tao about them. Hu Tao was the most professional in this area, and he would see what her judgment was.
We can't just leave a child teetering on the brink of life and death, can we?
Bai Ye thought to herself.
Raiden Ei sailed to Narukami Island. After disembarking, they didn't go to Inazuma City, but instead set off for Grand Narukami Shrine.
"Let me go see what's going on with that guy from Lady Guuji."
As the Mt. Yougou, Miyoshi Chiyo wrote and spoke with the shadows.
As she was saying this, Bai Ye noticed that the Miyoshi Chiyo was talking about Lady Guuji, was standing in front of an extremely fat tanuki.
A thumbs-up gesture was made towards the large, fat tanuki.
"Gozou, you're really something! I still haven't found you. Fine, I give up, you win."
"That's it. You, it's good that you came to me and admit defeat. We tanuki are the best at hide-and-seek. You, you finally realized you can't beat me and came to admit defeat. It's been five hundred years, I thought you would stubbornly refuse to come."
Known as the fat Big Tanuki with Gozou, it patted its belly and spoke to the Lady Guuji.
The Gozou's joy was evident in their expressions.
Finally, they're back.
