Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

Page 214

Although Alice is not young, she looks like a little girl who never grew up.

Fang Xun once thought that the reason why Ke Li's daughter was naughty was entirely due to inheriting Alice's genes.

Helping Alice grow up is not an easy task; it must be done step by step.

...

Soon, Yae no Miko led Fang Xun and the others to a tavern.

She first asked the owner to arrange a quiet private room, and then picked up the menu to order drinks.

Yae no Miko ordered a lot of wine, which piled up on the table, almost overflowing.

Wendy's eyes lit up as he watched this scene; he felt as if he had entered paradise.

Tonight I can finally drink to my heart's content!

"Um... it seems we ordered a bit too much wine."

"If we can't finish these drinks, may I take them with me?"

Wendy thought that four people definitely couldn't finish all that alcohol.

He's already considering the consequences of not being able to finish what he's getting.

Yae no Miko chuckled and replied, "Of course, that's no problem, but only if there's any wine left. Generally speaking, the four of us can finish all that wine."

"Yae-chan is right, we'll drink until we drop tonight."

Looking at the table piled high with wine bottles, Fang Xun asked, "Alice, Divine Child, are you sure it's okay for you to drink so much?"

"If I drink too much, I won't be able to handle my work tomorrow."

Fang Xun wasn't worried about Wendy drinking too much.

After all, Wendy is used to slacking off, so it doesn't matter if she drinks too much.

On the contrary, Alice and Yae no Miko should both have official positions.

Does drinking too much really have no effect?

Hearing Fang Xun's words, Alice shook her head: "It's alright, Fang Xun, this wine is nothing to us."

"We usually drink it like this."

Yae nods in agreement: "Mr. Fang Xun, there's no need to worry. This little bit of wine won't get us drunk."

Yae no Miko paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, it doesn't matter if we can't work tomorrow."

"Because I have already handed over the position of palace chief to Lord Fox Abbot, I am now considered retired."

"In addition, Lady Kitsui-no-miya has shown some interest in light novels, so I asked her to help look after Yae-do."

“I think... if it were Lord Kitsuri, he could definitely manage Narukami Taisha and Yaedo.”

In the game's story, Narukami Taisha was initially entirely managed by Kitsune-sai-gumi.

Later, when Teyvat was struck by calamity, Kitsune-no-Miya stepped forward to protect Narukami Island.

Before leaving, she entrusted Narukami Taisha Shrine to Yae no Miko.

This also meant that Yae no Miko, though unwilling to take on the troubles of Narukami Taisha, had no choice but to accept them.

Now that the Fox Palace has returned, Yae no Miko has chosen to resign from her position as palace chief immediately and has also handed over the management of Yae-do to the Fox Palace.

Of course, neither Narukami Taisha nor Yaedo would publicly disclose the affairs of Kitsune-saigu.

After all, in the eyes of the Inazuma people, Fox Monk and the others had already perished in that calamity.

Today, Kosai-gumi also manages Narukami Taisha under the name of Yae no Miko.

Fox Palace had no objection to this.

She didn't want the outside world to know that she was alive, so she decided to keep the secret forever.

This outcome is good for everyone.

Fang Xun was somewhat surprised to hear that Yae no Miko had relinquished all his positions.

Does this mean that the end of Teyvat is retirement and slacking off?

Otherwise, why would everyone yearn for it so much?

At this moment, Yae no Miko continued, "Finally, I can relax and get some rest."

"Tomorrow I will depart by ship with Mr. Fang Xun, and then live in Liyue for a while."

"As for what happens next... we'll see. I haven't decided yet."

"Divine Child, are you also going to Liyue?"

Fang Xun was somewhat surprised by the decision made by the Eightfold Divine Child.

He thought that the rest Yae Shinji was referring to was finding a quiet place to read light novels and eat some fried tofu, etc.

I didn't expect that Yae no Miko was going to Liyue.

Yae no Miko hummed in agreement and replied with a smile, "My vacation last time wasn't even over yet, so of course I'm going to continue my vacation!"

She paused, then continued, "Besides, if I hadn't gone to Liyue, Mr. Fang Xun would probably have been troubled too, wouldn't he?"

"What I mean is... to help you maintain a balance between the two sides."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun finally understood.

Yae no Miko went to Liyue to help Fang Xun avoid a chaotic situation.

Yae no Miko is a good person, easy to get along with, and truly helpful when needed.

Before Fang Xun could speak, Yae no Miko had already started drinking with Alice.

The two seemed to be secretly competing, neither willing to concede, taking turns drinking from one bottle each.

Wendy, standing next to them, was dumbfounded. Were they drinking alcohol or water?

Why don't they even take a breather?

Wendy, not to be outdone, grabbed the bottle and started drinking heavily.

But not long after, he slumped onto the table, looking dazed.

Wendy's alcohol tolerance varies greatly; when she's at her peak, she can easily hold her own against Zhongli.

When he was weak, he sat at the same table as Taromaru, but Taromaru still looked down on him.

By the end, it had turned into a one-on-one duel between Alice and Yae no Miko.

Finally, Alice succumbed to the alcohol and collapsed onto the table.

Before he collapsed, Fang Xun heard Alice muttering to herself.

"I thought Yae-chan would get drunk and talk nonsense and cry like she always does."

"Why did I fall down first this time?"

"Honestly, I was actually thinking of teasing this little guy a bit..."

Looking at the drunk Alice, Yae no Miko grinned triumphantly: "This little bit of wine, how could it possibly get me drunk?"

"Want to see me make a fool of myself? Ha, dream on! I don't want to."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yae no Miko collapsed onto the table.

She insisted on falling before Alice, this was Yae no Miko's last act of defiance.

Originally, there were four people drinking, but in the blink of an eye, only Fang Xun remained.

Alice looked out the window at the sky, and then inexplicably started crying.

Fang asked her why she was crying, and the reason was that the moon was not round enough and the sun did not appear at night.

Yae no Miko was also talking nonsense.

Wanting to become a little fox, it plunged headfirst into the snow.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise the aloof and dignified Eighth Lord would have lost his persona.

There was no other way but for Fang Xun to send Yae no Miko and Alice back to Yaedo.

As for why Wendy wasn't brought along...

Because that guy was clinging to the pillar and wouldn't let go no matter what, while muttering, "Don't pull me, I still want to drink with Mr. Fang Xun."

Wendy looked at the pillar next to her and said with concern, "Mr. Fang Xun, why aren't you saying anything? Are you already drunk? You can't hold your liquor."

Chapter 231 Side Story: Five Yakshas, A Dream of Yellow Millet

dong dong...

The powerful beating of his heart slowly brought Xiao back to consciousness.

The side effects of being drunk made him feel dizzy and weak in his limbs.

My whole body felt like it was sinking into the sea and kept falling.

This feeling is awful, like the infamous sleep paralysis.

I can't drink alcohol anymore.

It caused a mistake.

Just then, Xiao heard the sound of footsteps and conversations around him.

"Hey! Hey! I caught a fresh, big fish at Dihua Island. I'll treat you all to fish soup tonight!"

"This kind of fish is very difficult to catch. It is incredibly strong in the water, and ordinary people can't catch it at all."

"Luckily, I have four arms, and after some struggle, I was finally able to fish it ashore!"
