Chapter 154 The mountain is high and the fox is wild, the 8th level is my sister
The discussion about the Inazuma-Liyue collaboration lasted for a long time, the atmosphere lively and harmonious. Everyone expressed their opinions, sharing their hopes and visions for future collaborations, their words filled with anticipation for a bright future.
At this moment, Linghua suddenly remembered something. Curiosity was revealed in her beautiful eyes, and she asked, "No, brother, didn't you come here with Lord Yaemitsu? Why are there only you and Ito, and Lord Yaemitsu?" Linghua's voice was soft and gentle, and it was particularly clear in this lively atmosphere.
Ayato's eyes flickered, and then she whispered, "Actually, this time I came to Liyue, ostensibly to discuss further cooperation between the two countries, but in reality, I had already arranged all these things when I was in Inazuma. However, Lady Yajo told me that she had been in Inazuma for too long and wanted to go out for a walk, so she found this excuse and brought me along as well. When our ship docked at the shore, Lady Yajo couldn't wait to look for her old friends in Liyue." Ayato lowered her voice, fearing that the secret would be heard by others.
After hearing this, Xianyun laughed and said, "This Yajō Palace Administrator is quite interesting. Inazuma has been locked away in the country for hundreds of years. I don't know who her old friend in Liyue is. I guess she must be an immortal." There was some speculation and curiosity in Xianyun's words.
Xinyang smiled bitterly and said, "This really fits her personality. But it's just right. Since there is nothing important, how about I take you to see the beautiful scenery of Liyue tomorrow?" Xinyang's face was filled with enthusiasm and anticipation, hoping to bring a wonderful experience to the guests from Inazuma.
As they were talking, another shout was heard outside. Xinyang and Linghua came to the front desk to check the situation. What caught their eyes was a pink-haired fox. Who else could it be but the Eightfold Divine Son?
Xinyang teased, "Ah! What kind of wind brings your Eightfold Son of God here?" There was a hint of ease and familiarity in Xinyang's tone.
Seeing Xin Yang and the other person, the Son of God smiled charmingly and said, "It's you two little guys after all. The name 'Bailu Shuanghua' is not bad, but it feels like something is missing." There was scrutiny and thought in the Son of God's eyes.
After saying that, Shenzi walked into the store and looked around, full of interest. Shenzi looked at the various paintings hanging on the wall and smiled with satisfaction.
"The atmosphere here is very good. It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable. It's a nice place." Shen Zi said softly, her voice soft and charming.
"Of course, this is the decoration style I designed myself." Xinyang said proudly, his face brimming with confidence.
Then, the Son of God turned his head and looked at Xinyang and Linghua, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, you two little guys have any special plans for opening a shop here?" The Son of God looked at the two people in front of him, his lips slightly raised, and asked with a sly smile.
Shenzi's sudden question left Xinyang and Linghua stunned. They exchanged glances, each one filled with confusion. They couldn't fathom Shenzi's thoughts at all, so they could only smile helplessly, expressing their bewilderment. After all, they simply couldn't understand why Shenzi would suddenly ask such a question.
Seeing the two's bewildered expressions, Shen Zi chuckled softly, a subtle smile flickering in her eyes. She seemed to enjoy this unpredictable feeling. Meanwhile, Xin Yang and Ling Hua were even more curious, secretly guessing what Shen Zi was trying to say.
"We just want to try a different lifestyle." Xinyang took a deep breath and slowly explained.
Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, Shen Zi reminded them, "Well, that's a good idea. However, you must not forget your identities."
Shen Zi's words made Xin Yang and Ling Hua look at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't recall any special status they had. Could it be that they were both members of the Shemudi? However, the Shemudidi hadn't restricted them from opening a shop.
So, Xinyang and Linghua said in unison: "Our identity? There seems to be no rule that says our society cannot open a store. And although we opened a store in Liyue, we have definitely not done anything to harm Inazuma." There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in their tone.
Shen Zi looked at the two people's confused expressions and couldn't help but shook her head and sighed softly. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped each of their foreheads. She said with a hint of anger, "You really have forgotten that you are from my Yaedou."
These words exploded in Xinyang and Linghua's ears like thunder, and they instantly guessed what the Son of God was thinking.
At this time, Ganyu ran in and complained breathlessly: "Son of God, why did you run away by yourself? You haven't been to Liyue for hundreds of years. What if you got lost?" Ganyu's face was full of worry and concern.
Shen Zi grinned, with a cunning glint in his eyes: "Don't worry, Sister Ganyu, I just saw someone I know, so I came over to say hello."
Ganyu shook her head helplessly, a doting smile on her face. "You're still so spontaneous. Ningguang has assigned me a task, asking me to accompany you around Liyue for the next few days."
Shenzi winked mischievously, "Oh? Really? That's great!"
"Eh? Do you know anyone else in Liyue?" Ganyu suddenly discovered something.
The Son of God asked in return, "Who says that the people I know must be from Liyue a hundred years ago?"
Gan Yu was slightly startled, her eyes flickering between Xin Yang and Ling Hua before she let out a knowing smile. "So it's them, that's a bit surprising. But it makes sense. If you're old acquaintances, then traveling these days will be much more convenient."
The Son of God chuckled softly, his eyes shifting to Xinyang and Linghua, and he slowly spoke, "Yes, those two little ones always surprise us. But this time I came to Liyue for more than just a simple trip."
Shenzi's words made Xinyang's heart tighten, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. He frowned and said firmly, "Shenzi, I've stopped writing a long time ago. No matter what you say, I won't write again. Besides, I'm running this shop right now, so I really don't have the time." Xinyang's expression was resolute.
The corners of Shenzi's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile. He said softly, "If it's because you don't have time, then that's easy to say. I've also come to Liyue with many employees of Yaedo and the miko of Narukami Taisha. If you're willing, I can hand them all over to you for management, and you can just be a hands-off manager. That way, you'll have plenty of free time."
Hearing the Son of God's words, Xinyang's heart couldn't help but beat. Anyone who could travel with the Son of God must be exceptionally capable. If it really was as the Son of God said, wouldn't he be able to relax a lot more? Wouldn't that mean he could spend more leisure time with Linghua?
Thinking of this, Xinyang's eyes became bright, but thinking back to the hard days when he wrote novels, and the fact that the Son of God could not do business at a loss, Xinyang's face drooped again.
Seeing Xinyang's expression, Shen Zi broke the silence. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I've said that Yaetang never forces anyone to write. My goal this time is to open Yaetang in Liyue. I think this place is good. Why not just change the name to Yaetang Liyue Branch?"
Xinyang objected without a second thought, "Don't even think about it. This store is the result of the hard work of Linghua, Master, and Sister. There's no way I can hand it over to you. At most, we can cooperate with you and buy the store next door to expand our business." Xinyang was firm in his attitude and was full of protectiveness for his store.
Shen Zi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that. The people I bring are all old friends who have followed me for many years. They are absolutely reliable. As for Mora, I believe that Ayato has given you a lot of Mora. You can use some of it to buy the next door and make it my Yaedou Liyue branch. As for the branch editor, you will be the one."
Xinyang's eyes widened, and he secretly groaned inwardly. He hadn't expected the Son of God to trap him so quickly.
But now that things have come to this, Xin Yang couldn't go back on her word and could only say helplessly, "Okay, since it's come to this, I have no choice but to agree. However, I have one condition."
