Jiang Xiaofeng sat on his throne, looking down at Mondstadt City.
Now that Mondstadt is over, I can go find the Traveler to play with.
However...
Jiang Xiaofeng was in Mondstadt. Although his Void Power could sense Inazuma's location, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't teleport directly, possibly due to the blockade caused by the thunderstorm.
But this didn't stump him.
Jiang Xiaofeng teleported to Guyun Stone Forest, immediately sprinted in place, and flew towards Inazuma's direction.
The thunderstorms along the way did not harm Jiang Xiaofeng; the endless lightning strikes felt like electrotherapy, sending shivers down his spine.
In Lisa's words, it was "slightly greater than a sudden love affair."
At high speed, Jiang Xiaofeng soon saw the outline of Narukami Island.
On the highest mountain on the island, the radiance of the Sacred Sakura is impossible to ignore.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Yae Miko..."
Jiang Xiaofeng flew directly over the Ritou and landed in the ruins below the shrine.
As soon as he landed, Jiang Xiaofeng felt a clear, ethereal call.
"Warrior, please wait."
Jiang Xiaofeng paused, then slowly turned around.
"Warrior who has traveled from afar, I see you as a courageous person who values loyalty and friendship. Please..."
Listening to the words uttered by Jiang Xiaofeng Hanasato, who suddenly appeared like a ghost, Jiang Xiaofeng was momentarily convinced that he was indeed that kind of person.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Jiang Xiaofeng immediately raised his hand to stop Hanasato from speaking.
Amidst the puzzled look on Hanasato, Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand.
" The World."
"Click, click, click."
Time Stop.
To save himself the trouble, Jiang Xiaofeng simply called his Time Stop ability "The World".
It's not only fun, but also very impressive.
Jiang Xiaofeng walked up to Hanasato, Void Power suddenly erupted, enveloping Hanasato's entire body.
A few seconds later, Jiang Xiaofeng deactivated the time stop.
Hanasato stumbled, and Jiang Xiaofeng immediately caught her.
How are you feeling now?
Jiang Xiaofeng helped Hanasato to her feet and asked.
Hanasato subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.
"I... I think... it's become real..."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
We can't say it like that; we can just say we've become human.
Jiang Xiaofeng ripped off Hanasato's mask and held it in his hand to examine it himself.
"Give it back to me!"
Hanasato was startled and covered her face, trying to grab the mask back, but Jiang Xiaofeng blocked her forehead with one hand, preventing her from moving forward.
Jiang Xiaofeng played with the mask, but finding nothing special, he tossed it to Hanasato.
Seeing that Hanasato was barely taller than Jiang Xiaofeng's shoulder, Jiang Xiaofeng fell silent.
I hope the Kitsune Saiguu isn't this tall too...
"Alright, come with me."
Jiang Xiaofeng pressed down on Hanasato's shoulder and teleported directly to the main city of Inazuma.
"!"
Hanasato quickly protested, "I can't go to crowded places."
Jiang Xiaofeng pressed down on Hanasato, preventing her from exerting any strength.
"You now have a normal body. So what if you were born from those 'roots' of filth? I've already pulled you out of that predetermined fate. The upcoming Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual has nothing to do with you."
"But, Sacred Sakura..."
Before Hanasato could retort, Jiang Xiaofeng pressed down on her Hanasato and said, "Do you really think that fox from Grand Narukami Shrine is a pushover? She'll find out about the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual ritual and have someone do it."
Yes, finding people refers to hiring Traveler as laborers, and then rewarding Traveler with some unused Primogem afterward. The plan is quite clever, but the game doesn't seem to realize how the Traveler learned about the process and final location of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual.
Yae Miko probably never imagined that it was the soul of her beloved Kitsune Saiguu, whom she considered family, who had fallen and was devoured by the Black Tide, transforming into Hanasato, who guided Traveler to help Inazuma and save the shrine.
Jiang Xiaofeng lifted the mask from the Hanasato, so that it was worn diagonally beside his head, just like the masks worn during the Traveler's Festival.
Looking at Hanasato's delicate face, Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.
"It's a pity it's not white-haired..."
Hanasato was nearby and naturally heard those words, which inexplicably made her feel very uncomfortable.
"So what if he's white-haired? Did he eat your rice?!"
Hanasato looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and said angrily.
"It's nothing, just something I said offhand."
"If you were white-haired, I might not even need to go and revive the Kitsune Saiguu."
Hanasato was taken aback.
Jiang Xiaofeng pulled Hanasato directly towards Inazuma City.
"Let's go. You possess the memories of Kitsune Saiguu, so come and see what Inazuma City looks like now."
"I'd also like to see what Inazuma City is like..."
After climbing the steps, Jiang Xiaofeng led Hanasato to the Kiminami Restaurant.
"Welcome, gentlemen."
Are you two a couple?
Miss Anna greeted Jiang Xiaofeng and Hanasato very Passione.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Hanasato: "?"
There are always people providing assistance, no matter where you are.
However, this assist wasn't very good.
At least wait until next time!
Jiang Xiaofeng pulled Hanasato to sit down and ordered a lot of dishes.
"Delicious, delicious."
Jiang Xiaofeng slurped up a bowl of buckwheat noodles, then picked up a piece of tuna sushi and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hurry up and eat, or I'll eat it all!"
Jiang Xiaofeng slurped down another bowl of udon noodles, then grabbed a rice ball, completely ignoring the look of disbelief on Kiminami Anna, and took a big bite of the rice ball.
Why are you looking at me like that? We're not a couple, we just came here to eat.
"Hurry up and go cook, or I'll tear your shop down."
Kiminami Anna: "..."
Hanasato: "..."
Hanasato picked up a string of Tricolor Dango, carefully placed them in her mouth, and took a bite to savor them.
Then, Hanasato ate the Tricolor Dango much faster.
Jiang Xiaofeng swallowed another bowl of steaming hot animal bone ramen and asked Hanasato, "How is it? Slurp... Inazuma's food these days, pretty good, right... slurp..."
Hanasato took a small bite of the cherry blossom mochi. "It's really amazing... The people of Inazuma... Their lives have really improved... a lot."
"Crunch, crunch..."
Jiang Xiaofeng grabbed a skewer of meat and ate it in one bite, chewing as he said, "So, I told you you can rest assured... crunch crunch... Electro Archon and that shrine person are still overseeing Inazuma, so... crunch crunch... things won't get chaotic..."
Hanasato took a small bite of a taiyaki and fell silent, perhaps realizing that it was impolite for a girl to talk while eating.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofeng stopped talking, grabbed a tempura stick, stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to crunch.
Kiminami Anna, who was busy as a bee on the sidelines. "..."
Can anyone help me?
Kiminami Anna is experiencing both pain and pleasure.
On the one hand, she was happy that the customers ordered more dishes, which meant she earned more money.
On the other hand, these two guests ordered way too much and ate way too fast!
The quiet girl in the shrine maiden outfit didn't eat that fast, but the real problem was this tall man in black armor—how could he eat so much!
Kiminami Anna watched as Jiang Xiaofeng quickly devoured the tempura that had just been served, then picked up a plate of omelet rice and shoved spoonful after spoonful into his mouth.
Have you not eaten for days?
Kiminami Anna felt bitter inside and complained loudly in her heart.
