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

Secondly, since Narukami Taisha is a popular spot on Narukami Island, it's natural to take Sango Miyako and Goro, who are visiting the island for the first time, there to see it.

As for the third point, Fang Xun wanted to have a good talk with Yae no Shinji about how to resolve the Shura Field situation.

He didn't want a terrible bloodbath to erupt after he left; that would be too agonizing.

We must take precautions in the future and nip potential problems in the bud.

“Narukami Taisha, okay!” Ningguang said.

She paused, then asked the question that had been on her mind: "Brother Fang Xun, will you really stay by Ningguang's side forever?"

"Yes, don't worry, I'd be a dog if I lied."

Chapter 523: Assisting Yae Shenzi from the sidelines

Narukami Taisha Shrine has always been a landmark of Narukami Island, and a place that is always mentioned when people talk about Inatsume.

Whenever out-of-towners ask locals for a travel guide to Narukami Island, everyone invariably recommends Narukami Taisha Shrine.

The reason is simple: whether you want to enjoy the scenery, burn incense, or draw lots for answers, Narukami Taisha can meet all your needs.

So much so that there is a saying in Inatsume: if you go to Narukami Island and don't visit the shrine, then the trip is incomplete.

In the hearts of the Inatsume people, Narukami Taisha is second only to their god Raiden-shogun, a mysterious and sacred entity that exists outside the jurisdiction of the three major magistrates.

The kindergarten children were overjoyed when they heard they were going to see Aunt Yae today, and they ran happily toward the shrine with their short legs.

Children can be really strange sometimes. Even though Yae no Miko always makes them cry, they still cling to her and call her "Auntie" in a very sweet way.

"Walk slowly, watch out for the moss on the road, don't slip and fall," Fang Xun whispered.

He had been to Narukami Shrine several times before and was already very familiar with the blue brick path leading up the mountain.

Know which places to be careful of and which places are difficult to walk on.

Fortunately, it wasn't a holiday today, so there weren't many tourists going to the shrine to burn incense.

Most of these tourists travel in twos and threes, and it is rare to see a large tour group like his with more than ten children climbing the mountain.

Coral Palace Heart Sea looked up at the cherry blossoms falling all around, as if they were frozen in the air, descending very slowly.

She silently stretched out her palm, letting the petals fall into her hand.

My hands felt a slight coolness and dampness; the petals must have been covered in morning dew.

Looking at the cherry blossom in her hand, Coral Palace Kokoro remembered that there was also a shrine on Umijima Island called Mikumo Shrine.

However, the scale of the Mukumo Shrine is not as grand and imposing as that of the Narukami Taisha Shrine.

The Mengyun Shrine is just a simple wooden hut, without any magnificent decorations or a constant stream of incense offerings.

Furthermore, the area is overgrown with weeds and has been abandoned for many years.

"Why is there such a big difference between shrines? The people of Narukami Island seem to have a special affection for shrines."

Coral Palace Heart Sea blinked curiously, her curiosity about Narukami Taisha growing even stronger.

"Mr. Fang Xun, it's been a long time. We meet again."

Just then, a young shrine maiden who was sweeping the road at the entrance of the shrine took the initiative to greet him.

"Mr. Fang Xun, I am Ah Xing! Do you remember me?"

"I sent my sister to study in Liyue a while ago, and you helped us find our wallet then. Do you remember?"

Ah Xing did her best to help Fang Xun recall their shared experiences.

"Of course I remember. Back then, when everyone went out to eat, you would insist on paying the bill."

Even if Ah Xing hadn't mentioned these things, Fang Xun would have remembered them all.

Because she is Hisagi Shinobu's older sister, that identity alone would prevent her from forgetting. Principal Fang always remembers information about every child.

"Mr. Fang Xun, are you here to see Lady Gong Si? She is currently meeting with other guests. Please move to the tea room and wait a moment."

Ah-Xing put down the broom and raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation to come in.

She knew that Fang Xun had a good relationship with Yae no Miko. Every time Fang Xun came to Narukami Shrine, he would meet with Yae no Miko and chat for a while. She guessed that today would be no different.

Unfortunately, the timing of her arrival was a bit unfortunate, as Yae no Miko was meeting with other friends at the moment.

Fang Xun nodded, indicating that he understood.

After all, Yae no Miko has multiple identities. As the priestess of Narukami Taisha, she has to meet all kinds of dignitaries and nobles every day, so it is no exaggeration to say that she is busy with official duties.

“Ah Xing, Mr. Fang Xun is not an outsider, let them in.”

At that moment, the voice of Yae no Miko came from a certain room; only her voice could be heard, but she could not be seen.

Although Yae no Miko stayed in her room and did not show herself, she knew perfectly well that Fang Xun and his group had come to visit.

"Yes, Lord Miyaji." Ayumi bowed slightly towards the house, then gestured to Fang Xun in invitation.

"Mr. Fang Xun, please come with me."

Led by A-Xing, Fang Xun and his group entered the tea room where Yae no Miko was.

Yae no Miko was kneeling on the wooden floor, and sitting opposite her were Raiden and Raiden.

Fang Xun suddenly realized that the guests Yae no Miko was meeting were these two sisters.

Come to think of it, the number of important figures who could be personally received by Yae no Miko can be counted on one hand throughout the entire Inazuma region.

"You two are really interesting." Yae no Miko looked at the Raiden sisters, then at Fang Xun, her smile amused.

"They're clearly family, but they have to appear in two separate places."

The Thunder Sisters' gazes also fell on Fang Xun.

Chapter 524 I Want to Go to Qiaoying Manor to Pick Tea

After returning from Haiqi Island, Fang Xun briefly parted ways with the Raiden sisters.

He embarked on a journey with travelers Paimon and the children, enjoying various sights and scenery along the way, living a pleasant life.

Meanwhile, the Raiden sisters returned to the castle tower and used the dolls to keep track of Inazuma's situation.

Although the two have retired and no longer concern themselves with domestic affairs, they are, after all, the guardian deities of Inazuma, and still care about the development and future of this country and its people.

Fang Xun expressed his complete understanding and even supported the Thunder Sisters in focusing on their work.

There's no way around it; as the man behind a successful woman, this is a necessary awareness.

“They’re planning to build a new shrine on Umijima Island. The priestess is very knowledgeable in this area, so we specifically sought her out for a detailed discussion, hoping to get some advice.” Raiden Shin stood up and explained to Fang Xun why the two sisters were there.

Haizhi Island was previously embroiled in a major battle, which affected the entire island to some extent. Many houses were destroyed, and the people were left homeless.

Sangomiya Chizuru hopes to rebuild her home in the shortest possible time, including the long-abandoned Mukumo Shrine.

The Raiden Sisters intend to help rebuild the shrine on Umijima Island, which would effectively help the two islands build a bridge of friendship.

Fang Xun thought to himself, "Isn't this a coincidence? He also came to ask the Divine Child for advice."

However, his affairs had nothing to do with Haiji Island, but rather with three women.

But this is definitely something that can't be said directly; saying it would cause a huge mess.

"I brought the little ones out for a stroll and prayed for some peace and blessings. For Shinkai and Goro, this is their first time visiting Narukami Island, so naturally they have to see Narukami Taisha Shrine."

Fang Xun also explained why he came to Narukami Taisha.

"Want to explore Narukami Shrine properly? Then I'll be your guide. Follow me." Yae no Miko stood up and led the little girls outside.

She's intentionally creating space for Fang Xun and the Thunder Sisters to spend time alone together.

Before leaving, Yae no Miko turned back and gave Fang Xun a meaningful look.

That ambiguous smile gave him the air of someone who had accomplished their task and was now leaving without a trace, concealing their achievements and fame.

Fang Xun opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

My divine child, you've misunderstood!

I wanted to talk to you alone. Why did you leave?

For a moment, only Fang Xun and the Lei Dian sisters remained in the tea room. The room was quiet except for the sound of boiling water brewing tea.

Raiden picked up a clean teacup, slowly poured in a steaming cup of hot tea, and then pushed it in front of Fang Xun.

The tea soup has a beautiful color, with no tea leaves visible, resembling a piece of crystal-clear amber.

The room was filled with a rich aroma of tea, somewhat similar to the smell of fried rice crust. It was enough to whet one's appetite.

“The Divine Child said that these tea leaves were picked from Qiaoying Manor in Liyue. Ying and I just tasted some and thought they were quite good,” Raiden Shin said softly.

“We were thinking, when we have some free time, let’s all go to Qiaoyingzhuang and pick tea by hand. What do you think?”

Raiden has always been interested in Liyue's culture, and his desire to learn more about Liyue only intensified after meeting Fang Xun.

Unlike Ying, she was preoccupied with how to improve her martial arts skills.

Lei Dian truly prefers the poetic beauty of wind, flowers, snow, and nights, and discovers the warmth in life.

Going to the tea garden to pick, dry, and process tea leaves sounds very interesting.

Upon hearing that the Thunder Sisters were planning to go to Liyue, and that it was soon, Fang Xun's eyelids suddenly twitched.

If they really go to Liyue, it will be a battle of kings against kings, directly turning into a bloodbath.

However, he couldn't ask the Raiden sisters not to go; that would be too unusual. Constantly acting out of character would easily arouse suspicion, especially from a smart woman like Raiden Shin.

Being a "scumbag" isn't something anyone can do; it really tests your mental fortitude.

Fang Xun, trying to appear calm, raised his teacup and said, "Sure, whenever you have time, I'm available."

...

Family members, recently a new character named Liuyun Zhenjun was released in the game. I tried him out and felt he was just so-so, nothing special.

Oh, by the way, is Diluc's second constellation a significant boost? This is very important to me. T_T
