Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

Since Jiang Ning wasn't using his own money, he figured he was just facilitating the flow of Mora funds in Inazuma and increasing GDP.

"We're going into the wilderness again tomorrow, so let's have a good meal today."

"Great."

…………

The next day, Jiang Ning embarked on his journey of tilling the land.

Jiang Ning brought a lot of good things with him for this trip, all of which were paid for by Yachongtang.

I don't know if it's necessary to buy these things in Jiangning.

But what he did know was that seeing the owner of Yaedo looking so troubled, scratching his head in front of the bill, was indeed quite amusing.

"Halt! Please explain why you wish to leave Inazuma Castle."

Last time Jiang Ning went to Tasha, he sneaked out, but this time he went out openly, and as a result, he was stopped.

Jiang Ning was taken aback: "Do I need to report this to leave the city?"

The shogunate soldier, with a stern face, said:

"The Lord of Tianling has ordered that, in order to prevent spies from the rebel army from entering and leaving Inazuma Castle, their identities must be verified regardless of whether they are entering or leaving."

Jiang Ning said, "Alright... Here, this should prove my identity, right?"

As she spoke, she took out an amulet, which bore the emblem of Narukami Taisha Shrine and the fox mark unique to Yae no Miko.

The shogunate soldiers' expressions changed, while Sima's face immediately became enthusiastic:

"So you are a distinguished guest of Narukami Taisha Shrine. My apologies for not recognizing you..."

Jiang Ning said, "Aren't you afraid I'll impersonate him?"

The soldier said, "Look at what you're saying. In Inazuma Castle, under the feet of the gods, no one dares to forge anything related to the gods... Moreover, the shrine has also issued an order that a distinguished guest carrying a protective charm will be frequently entering and leaving Inazuma Castle recently."

"I see... Can I go now?"

"Please go ahead, and please be careful."

The soldier had a fawning look on his face.

This made Jiang Ning feel a little uncomfortable. He nodded and quickly headed out into the wilderness.

Not far away, a man dressed like an ordinary person looked at Jiang Ning and hurriedly left.

Judging from the direction they left, it should be the direction of the Kujo family, which is under the jurisdiction of the Tenryo Magistrate.

…………

"Oh? You mean that the young man is Yae no Kami's distinguished guest?"

"Heavenly Commander, Kujo family," a white-haired old man said thoughtfully.

"Yes, I saw it clearly. The person you asked me to pay attention to was that distinguished guest."

The old man was the head of the Kujo family, the current Tenryo Magistrate, Kujo Takayuki.

Although he appeared to be a rather imposing man, his slightly harsh profile and gloomy eyes gave him a somewhat cold and aloof air.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now..."

His eyes held a hidden meaning as he spoke calmly.

"Subordinates retire."

After the messenger left, several retainers who looked like secretaries began to discuss, somewhat puzzled:

"Why would Yae no Kami give a Liyue person a waist token at this time?"

"Yes, even if Liyue comes with great force this time, we have the General. There's no need to be so serious, is there?"

A knowing glint flashed in Kujo Takayuki's eyes:

"This is normal. This is also for Liyue's benefit. Those fools in the Kansei have offended Liyue. Although the General is invincible, there is no need for him to have another enemy for no reason."

"This whole thing is probably meant to show Liyue... Shinsuke Hiiragi only cares about short-term gains, little does he know that if he offends Liyue, the food supply will be greatly compromised."

“Even if it doesn’t affect us, many of those lowly people will die. Then who will work for us and serve as our labor force?”

"Besides, if it's just one boy, it won't have any impact on us..."

He rambled on and on, convincing himself, but he didn't think about anything deeper, and was only pleased with what he saw on the surface.

It must be said that being used to a life of luxury can breed arrogance and stupidity.

"What the patriarch says is true."

"As expected of the patriarch."

Compliments rang out from all around.

"Alright, just put on a show with Liyue. Anyway, it's the Hiiragi family that's going to suffer... There's no need to worry about Yaeguji either. The Shogun hasn't seen Yaeguji in a long time. Even if it was a rare sight many years ago, Yaeguji didn't tell us about Inazuma's true situation... No need to worry about it."

"Now we need to consider how to deepen our understanding and..."

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion erupted at the door.

Kujo Takayuki immediately became dissatisfied and scolded:

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

"Master, the executor of the Fools has come to visit."

A servant stammered.

"Hmph, invite her in."

Kujo Takayuki gave a wink to the people around him, and they all bowed and left.

A short while later, a woman with a hot figure and a captivating swaying gait walked in.

"Ha, is this how Inazuma treats its guests? Making them wait at the door?"

"The executor of the Fools, madam," she said haughtily as she entered the room.

Kujo Takayuki said calmly:

"Waiting patiently at the door to greet the host is something a guest should do, since you came here without permission."

"Humph……"

The woman snorted dismissively and then sat down on her own.

Kujo Takayuki looked displeased. This woman was incredibly rude; if it weren't for the fact that they were still working together...

"What brings you here with such fanfare? We should try to minimize contact. It's not good for the Fools to be associated with the Heavenly Order."

Kujo Takayuki said.

The woman replied nonchalantly, "That's your business. Besides, my current identity is the Winter Solstice Envoy. Visiting and exchanging views with any of the three major officials is nothing more than normal official consultation. What negative impact could there be?"

After a pause, the woman said, "Enough of the small talk, are the things we need for winter ready?"

Kujo Takayuki said, "You need far too much crystallized bone marrow. We can't produce it in a short time and will have to wait a while. But why have you suddenly increased your demand? What are you planning to do?"

The woman calmly replied, "That's none of your business. It's a simple cash-on-delivery transaction. Why should you care how people use your goods?"

Seeing the lady's nonchalant attitude, Kujo Takayuki suppressed his displeasure and said:

"As the Tenryo Envoy in charge of Inazuma's military affairs, I have an obligation to understand the uses of these things. After all, crystallized bone marrow is also a strategic resource for Inazuma."

The woman scoffed, "I told you, this is your Inazuma's business, it has nothing to do with us, Shifu. Besides, since it's a strategic resource, Mr. Tenryo is actually selling it. He's incredibly generous."

Taking a few deep breaths, Kujo Takayuki said with a cold face:

"Is there anything else? If not, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to take my leave."

The woman didn't want to stay with this brainless guy any longer, so she stood up and said:

"Three days. I'm only giving you three days. If you can't produce what we want, we don't mind buying some from the Kansei Magistrate."

Kujo Takayuki's gaze darkened slightly: "Understood, I will do my best..."

After glancing sideways at Kujo Takayuki, the woman left on her own.

After all the Fools had left the mansion, Kujo Takayuki, in a fit of rage, swept everything off the table.

He was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was trembling with anger.

"How dare she talk to me like that!"

"Kujo Takayuki said sternly."

An advisor emerged from behind the screen.

He quickly said, "Master, please calm down. She's just someone we've used. There's no need to get angry and hurt your health. Besides, once this cooperation ends, she'll be free of her envoy status. With just her status as a member of the Fools, we can monitor and manipulate her however we want."

After being persuaded by his staff, Kujo Takayuki felt a little better and slowly began to speak:

"Yes, General, your divine might is still alive. These fools are just pawns for us to gain profits... Go and tell your men to increase the mining of the crystallized bone marrow deposits. If you don't have enough manpower, go and capture more. Extend their working hours again. They must get the goods within three days."

“I don’t want those guys who are in charge of the investigation to benefit for nothing.”

"Yes, Master... but if the mining takes any longer, something bad will happen."

The staff hesitated.

“Those miners are just consumables; there are always replacements. What I need is the goods, understand?”

"clear."

…………

"My lady, the next Geo Archon of Liyue, the current candidate for Geo Archon is Inazuma..."

"Here at the embassy post station in winter," a debt collector said.

"Okay, I understand. It won't affect our plans. They're probably just here to support Liyue..."

The woman said casually.

In her eyes, these gods were just like that. Barbatos had been beaten by her, and Zhongli had been scolded by her, but they hadn't said anything. Considering the portion of power she held from Her Majesty the Empress...
