Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

160. Traveler, what are you doing?!

For three consecutive days, Jiang Ning spent his time reading at the Narukami Shrine.

Even with his ability to read ten lines at a glance and to have a photographic memory, Jiang Ning still spent a great deal of time figuring out Inazuma's situation.

Jiang Ning turned his somewhat stiff neck, and his joints made a cracking sound.

He stretched out a big yawn.

"It's over? You've finished watching?"

Yae Shenzi asked.

So, what are your thoughts?

Sitting down next to Jiang Ning, Yae no Shinji casually asked.

Jiang Ning said, "I think... although it's a bit rude, your gods are like children who haven't grown up, throwing a tantrum."

After reading the history book, Jiang Ning finally understood why Heulia's name was different from the Thor he had mentioned.

It turns out that Thor is a pair of twin demon gods, Baal and Balzebub. Although they conquered the Inazuma Empire together, strictly speaking, Baal is a first-generation god, while Balzebub, as the Shadow Dancer, is a second-generation god.

The Battle of Kanria many years ago took the life of Balzeb's sister, while the Black Tide five hundred years ago swept through Inazuma.

Balzebu, who went to support his sister, not only failed to protect her but also caused Inazuma to fall into danger.

If it weren't for the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, the fox spirit priest, and the demon general Mikoto Chiyo who fought to the death to protect Inazuma, it would have perished long ago.

And as a result, the Thunder General's friends are either dead or driven mad by the Abyss... leaving only Balzeb alone, and the little fox who has never grown up, who is now Yae no Miko.

Furthermore, the second-generation Raijin even used his own body as material to transform it into a puppet, and the intelligence that was born from it is the current Raijin General, the ruler of Inazuma.

I, on the other hand, secluded myself in a pure land to resist the wear and tear.

The eternity of being without thought or desire is the result of being obsessed with the fear of losing.

"Although countless friends around her have died, and even her own sister has passed away, as an adult, she still has to carry on the legacy. Her sister entrusted Inazuma to her... and this is how she ruined it?"

Jiang Ning felt that Balzebub, whose real name is Thor from the movie, was both hateful and pitiful.

Yae no Miko opened her mouth and began to defend her god.

"This was a huge blow to her... but we can't say that about her, she..."

Jiang Ning didn't let Yae no Kamiko continue: "Didn't our Emperor of Liyue also lose a lot? Comrades, brothers, comrades-in-arms, close friends... but he still chose to hold up the sky of Liyue all by himself."

"She was in a position to fulfill her duties, but she lacked the ability to govern and suffered greatly. Although it sounds plausible, as her sister who lost her sister, I sympathize with her and even pity her. However, as a deity who is the ruler of a country, I feel that she has failed in her duty."

"Gods protect the nation with swords and defend the borders with divine power. They don't need to make the nation soar, they only need to ensure that the people live in peace and prosperity... But your gods are throwing knives at their own people?"

Yae no Miko remained silent, but how could she not understand?

However, every living being will ultimately side with its own family.

"Phew... that's all in the past. Let's not talk about such unpleasant things. So, now that you know Inazuma's current situation, what do you plan to do?"

Yae Shenzi asked.

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes at Yae no Miko: "This is your Inazuma family's business. What would it mean if I interfered? Don't even think about it. I won't take action."

Yae no Miko smiled and said, "What if I use the condition you agreed to?"

Jiang Ning paused for a moment and then said, "It's possible... but are you sure you don't want me to die?"

Yae no Miko exclaimed in surprise, "How could that be? Look at that little face, it's so pitiful. That guy Kage wouldn't hurt you badly."

"Besides, you're supposed to be a demon god. If you can't beat him, can't you at least run away?"

Jiang Ning said irritably, "Come on, the last one probably thought the same thing, and his bones are still lying there now."

The two of them started joking around, completely unlike their serious demeanor just moments before.

Yae no Miko straightened her expression: "Seriously, what if I asked you for help with this request?"

Jiang Ning said, "To be honest, the deal is not fair. How much effort do I have to put in? No way. We Liyue don't do deals that lose money."

Yae no Miko said, "Then... help me save that traveler? At least, don't let her life be threatened?"

In Yae no Miko's plan, this traveler is crucial, even the key to Inazuma's breakthrough.

However... no plan can be foolproof, especially when facing a god known for his martial arts skills.

If the traveler dies suddenly, the plan will fail immediately. But if he survives, there will be a second or even a third chance.

Jiang Ning said, "Okay, no problem."

Anyway, I can't just watch Ying get hurt, but Yae no Miko doesn't know that.

Yae no Miko said, "Then, is the deal done?"

"Yeah, deal."

…………

Back at the post station, Jiang Ning, seeing that Ke Qing was not there, decided to locate Ying's position.

"Let me see what Ying is doing now..."

Jiang Ning located Ying's position and then activated his remote teleportation function.

Immediately afterwards, they were teleported to the interior of a secluded cave, but they did not see Ying. After looking left and right, they finally found Ying lying on the ground.

Jiang Ning looked down and saw Ying staring at him in disbelief, and a girl beneath her who looked like an ornamental fish.

Jiang Ning: “…6.”

Sensing Jiang Ning's complicated gaze, Ying quickly stood up, then reached out her hand and said:

"Wait! Let me explain! It's not what you think."

Jiang Ning recalled seeing Ying's hand still on the chest of someone's ornamental fish, and then said:

"Ying, although I'm quite open-minded about these things, girls should at least be in a more private place with each other. In this cave... what if someone comes?"

Ying said, "So that's why! It's not what you think! Let me explain!"

Jiang Ning adopted a posture of listening attentively, but right now, Ying was in a deserted cave, a young girl was unconscious, and Ying was holding the girl's head with both hands, looking at the girl...

This looks exactly like a crime scene of "murder and dragging a body".

Ying hurriedly explained, "Actually, this is how it is. This is the leader of the resistance, the supreme leader of Haiqi Island, and also the living goddess priestess of Orobas, Coral Palace Heart Sea."

Jiang Ning said, "So, you've only been with the resistance for a short time, yet you've already managed to knock their supreme leader unconscious by yourself? Are you sure you're not a spy sent by the Shogunate?"

Ying said, "As I said, this was actually an accident. Xin Hai disappeared, and I came out to look for her. I found Xin Hai's secret place where she was relaxing alone, and then I accidentally saw Xin Hai's diary... Xin Hai, who was already a little tired, fainted in anger."

"So I was just giving Xin Hai first aid, right, Paimon?"

Paimon, seeing Jiangning, assumed there would be plenty of good food. He didn't hear what Ying was saying, but instinctively replied:

"Huh? But doesn't CPR need to be combined with artificial respiration?"

"Paimon!"

Ying looked betrayed. You damn emergency rations, don't you listen to what you're saying?

Paimon also realized what was happening and immediately shrank behind Jiang Ning, remaining silent.

"Humph."

Ying turned her head away and said, "Paymon, you're dead meat! Your food will be halved for the next month!"

Jiang Ning said, "I understand, so now we need to save people, right?"

Ying nodded: "Yes... I'm not a lesbian."

Jiang Ning said, "Yes, I believe you're not."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning approached the present-day human-god priestess and carefully examined the leader of Haiqi Island.

She looked like a dignified and beautiful young girl with long, gradient-colored hair, a long dress with sheer tassels, and a long hem.

The overall color scheme is like an ethereal...fish?

Although it was extremely rude, this was the only adjective Jiang Ning could think of.

With the Qilin's divine power circulating, Jiang Ning quickly restored the unconscious ornamental fish to consciousness under its healing influence.

Xin Hai slowly awoke, opening her eyes somewhat dazed, then her expression suddenly changed:

"My diary!"

Suddenly looking up, I saw a strange man.

A sense of vigilance immediately triggered the activation of water elemental power within her mind, and she looked at the man before her with a wary expression:

"who are you?"

Jiang Ning said, "Don't be too nervous. I'm Ying's friend, and I'm the one who woke you up and healed you... You look very tired. Feel it, are you feeling a little more relaxed?"

Ying also said, "Yes, Xinhai, this is my friend..."

Xin Hai frowned, examined her body, and was surprised to find that all the discomfort caused by fatigue and staying up late had disappeared. Her whole body felt warm and cozy, as if she had rested well for a long time.

Having lowered his guard, Xin Hai said to Jiang Ning:

"Thank you for your help..."

Jiang Ning said, "My name is Jiang Ning, and I'm from Liyue."

A glint flashed in Xin Hai's eyes: "Is it the Liyue delegation? They've come to negotiate with Inazuma because of the matter of the Survey Commissioner?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes... Ying, you said that?"

Ying shrugged: "Do I even need to say that? Thomas's here too, isn't he?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "I see... It's good to know you're alright. I'll stay with you for a while... Of course, I have my own things to do, but I'll come with you if you go out."

Ying's face lit up with joy: "Really?"

Paimon also said, "That's really great. With Jiang Ning around, we don't have to be afraid of any danger."
