Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Since acquiring the Transformation into the Moon, Shen Liang, like the two witches, no longer had to worry about getting sick or injured. But more importantly, she no longer needed to wash. The Transformation into the Moon technique essentially purifies the body continuously, ensuring its absolute purity. All the current human and divine witches who learned this technique have basically never needed to brush their teeth.

However, since Shen Liang doesn't know water magic, he still needs to take a bath. He can't deal with the filth on his body, which is the only difference between him and the current human goddesses.

The breakfast served at Coral Palace Heart Sea consisted of fried fish fillets, medaka soup, and red rice porridge. The red rice was seawater rice, and its taste was basically the same as regular rice. In addition, there was chili sauce and fried dough sticks made by the priestesses of Shenliang Church. Now that Haiqi Island was not short of food and oil, fried dough sticks were no longer a luxury.

"Ah, a beautiful day really does start when you wake up holding Ryou-chan," said Sangomiya Ruka happily, holding a bowl of soup. "And my niece brought me breakfast too. My life is absolutely perfect!"

"Auntie, what are you wearing?" Coral Palace Xin Hai looked at her nightgown. This kind of gauze nightgown accentuated the curves of a mature woman, and she was a little envious.

"Ryo-chan bought this for me. This is fabric from their world. We don't have clothes this smooth on our Teyvat continent." Coral Palace Ryuko proudly showed off. "It feels so comfortable. Ryo-chan loves it and insisted that I wear it."

Coral Palace Xin Hai frowned unhappily, "Touch?"

“Don’t listen to her nonsense,” Shen Liang said helplessly. “She didn’t have any clothes to change into when she came to Earth with me last time. I only have little girl clothes at home, so I bought her a few sets just in case.”

"I want one too," the little witch said, dissatisfied.

"Didn't I ask you if you wanted it...? You said it was too thin and you felt embarrassed to wear it to sleep, so you declined. Actually, it's just a regular nightgown, and no one will be watching you when you sleep..."

"Shut up!" the little witch slammed her hand on the table. "Are you my little master or her little master?!"

"you."

"Then buy it for me."

"Oh."

For some inexplicable reason, I felt that something was wrong.

Shen Liang broke off a piece of fried dough stick and soaked it in the porridge, letting it absorb the broth.

This past year has been unusually peaceful and tranquil.

Half a year ago, Ruka Sangomiya was revived. Because Ruka Sangomiya was actually judged as "weak" by the system, it would probably only take half a year for her to be fully materialized.

The materialized Coral Palace Ryuka did not resume her position as the living human god priestess. At that time, the little priestess had been in office for half a year, and she had no intention of sharing the burden with Kokoro. She happily jumped around and announced that she would retire to the second line and no longer be a priestess.

Coral Palace was somewhat troubled. She had to handle numerous political affairs, including reviving trade on Haiji Island, dealing with bureaucrats of the shogunate, and concealing her relationship with Shen Liang. Although almost all the priestesses in Coral Palace knew about her ambiguous relationship with Shen Liang, at least on the surface she was still the pure and innocent living god priestess.

However, sometimes it's not a big deal if one's inner thoughts are exposed, right? The people of the sea are quite pragmatic. Compared to the purity of a priestess, a living, breathing god is much more important.

"Speaking of which, those shrine maidens say behind Ryou's back that she's a fox spirit reincarnated," said Sangomiya Rika, taking a bite of fish fillet. "A thousand-year-old fox, no less."

"They're talking badly about me? Why? Did I offend them?" Shen Liang asked, puzzled.

"Because you've brought chaos to the court." Coral Palace Heart Sea suppressed a laugh.

"I?"

“The main reason is that they think both generations of current human goddesses have been bewitched by you,” Coral Palace Ryuka chuckled. “I’m alright, after all, everyone knows I’m your aunt. But the first thing Xinhai does every morning is to come and wake you up, and every day when she returns to Coral Palace, she goes to you first to check in… Isn’t this a case of harem intrigue? You’re more than just a vixen, you’re practically a vixen.”

Good heavens, Shen Liang never imagined that one day he could be considered a reincarnation of Daji.

Those gossipy witches!

However, this year of lazy living has not been without its gains. For example, the progress of Coral Palace Heart Sea has reached 95%, but the last 5% just won't go up.

Shen Liang guessed that the reason why Coral Palace Liu Ge's progress was so high was because she had completely entrusted everything to him, which meant she had given him complete acceptance, or as she put it, "from then on, he treated her like his own daughter." Coral Palace Xin Hai, on the other hand, lacked such an opportunity. Although their affection had basically reached the maximum level and they were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it was probably not enough for their progress to be at its peak.

He also tried to find other people to cultivate Stigmata, and tried to get closer to all the priestesses in the Coral Palace to increase their favor, but so far no suitable Stigmata have appeared.

This actually made him quite popular among the priestesses. Originally, he was an unapproachable god among mortals, but now the priestesses could gossip about him behind his back.

However, the woman from the Fatui Clan's progress remained slow, likely due to insufficient contact. After a year, her progress hovered around 25%. This 25% increase occurred in a single day, the day Coral Palace Ryuka was reborn and witnessed the High Priestess's revival. The woman's progress skyrocketed from 9% to 25%.

The reason is unknown.

"But today is the day you'll be leaving Haiqi Island, isn't it?" Coral Palace Ryuka said lazily, leaning back in her chair after finishing her meal.

Chapter 87 Those little bitches might actually be quite happy about it.

"Well, Haiqi Island is basically on the right track now, and we don't need me as a deterrent anymore. I'd rather go and see other places."

This was something he had agreed upon with Xin Hai a year ago. He stayed on Haizhi Island mainly to wait for the news of his annihilation of the 80,000 Inazuma people to gradually fade away, avoiding this sensation that could shock the Seven Kingdoms. Now that the news has cooled down, it's time for him to leave.

Although she thought it was unlikely, Shen Liang still asked, somewhat unwilling to give up, "Can Xin Hai come with me?"

"This kind of thing..." The little priestess was a little reluctant, but she still firmly refused. "Wandering the world is not for me now. I am a living god priestess. The island of Haiqi is in dire need of reconstruction. If I run away now, who will take over? We have already sacrificed a lot. We can't waste the island's time for my own happiness."

“You’re starting to sound more and more like I did back then.” Coral Palace Ryuka deliberately adopted an arrogant tone. “Yes, that’s right, my child. You will become the Queen of Haiqi Island.”

"I'm your niece, not your daughter!"

"What's the difference?" The High Priestess held the two little ones in her arms, one in each hand, and grinned broadly. "Everyone said that I, Coral Palace Liuge, had committed many evil deeds in my life and would have no descendants, but now I have both a son and a daughter!"

However, she turned to look at Shen Liang, her eyes turning fierce. "You're sixteen, aren't you?"

"what happened?"

"According to our Inazuma tradition, once you reach adulthood, you're old enough to marry and have children... Although I know things are a bit different on Earth, when do you plan to marry my Kokoro?" Coral Palace Ryuka asked with a hint of malice, her hand around his neck.

This question made both Shen Liang and Coral Palace Xin Hai somewhat embarrassed, but it was indeed a very pressing issue that they could hardly avoid.

"Auntie..." Coral Palace Xin Hai tried to change the subject by acting coquettishly.

"Auntie knows you're embarrassed to bring it up, but it's more reliable for elders to clarify these things. You'll thank Auntie later!" Coral Palace Liuge pouted. "Xinhai is still the current Human God Priestess. What about after she steps down? By then, you two will definitely be approaching thirty. Let's settle this now, no backing out."

"That's way too far," Shen Liang couldn't help but complain. "What's the difference between booking and not booking?"

"I just want you to remember this," Coral Palace Ryuka said with a smile. "No matter where you go, there's a fiancée waiting for you here on Haiqi Island. You'll have to come back sooner or later."

fiancée……

Shen Liang was suddenly filled with strange, indescribable emotions. These three words were both too heavy and too romantic. He had never even thought that these words would be associated with him.

He always felt that his relationship with Xinhai was still a tentative one, but in the blink of an eye, their elders swiftly escalated it to a whole new level. He turned to look at Xinhai, whose face was already flushed and speechless. She secretly exchanged a glance with him before quickly turning her head away.

"Not willing?" Miss Liu Ge's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

"No, it's just..."

"You're worried about your lover on Earth? There's no need. Teyvat doesn't have any rules about monogamy. At most, you just need to worry about whether the girl on Earth will cause problems," the High Priestess said casually. "Or you could just abandon Earth and settle down here. We'd give you all the priestesses in the Coral Palace... those little bitches might even be happy to accept."

Coral Palace's Heart Sea glanced at him furtively. Although she didn't quite agree with her aunt's words, she did think so too... Even though she didn't know what kind of world Earth was, wouldn't it be great if Ryoko could settle down in Teyvat? The shrine maidens of Coral Palace were like sisters to her, so it didn't seem like such a big deal...

Even Coral Palace's Kokoro thought it was a good idea. Most of the shrine maidens were approaching their forties or fifties after graduation, and many knew they wouldn't be able to get married anyway, so they might as well stay at Coral Palace for life. In that case, they would definitely be more willing to go and accompany Ryoko.

The more Coral Palace Heart Sea thought about it, the redder her face became, feeling that she was really too wicked.

"Alright, alright, everyone look here, look here. It's settled then. Once everything is peaceful on Haiqi Island and Xinhai has stepped down, you have to come back."

"Uh-huh……"

Even if you find someone new, you must remember that Xinhai is your first... Xinhai, are you his first love?

"Hey!"

"Tsk, Auntie is still worried. Who knows when you'll be gone? Why don't you two take advantage of this time to warm up your relationship before you leave? Yes! If you get things done today, Auntie will be waiting to hold and play with Xiao Liangjiang in ten months."

Under the high witch's deadly curse, Shen Liang fled in panic.

--------

After boarding the passenger ship bound for Inazuma, Shen Liang took one last look at the priestesses waving goodbye to him, bid farewell to the Coral Palace priestesses who had accompanied him for a year, and entered his cabin.

The ship was about the same size as the Death Star of the Southern Cross fleet. It was a large passenger cruise ship manufactured by the Winter Solstice Kingdom and would arrive at Naruto Island in two days. Shen Liang went down into the cabin and found that the huge ship was not very crowded. Most of the people on board were Winter Solstice Kingdom soldiers wearing masks and tight-fitting clothes.

Shen Liang recognized these people; they were all members of the diplomatic mission of the Zhidong Kingdom, or rather, the "Fools".

On this trip to Narukami Island, he did not want to take Inazuma's passenger ship. He did not want to see scenes like "Look, that's the god who killed 80,000 of our people on Umijima Island" or "You killed my son, pay with your life." So he entrusted the woman with the task, and coincidentally, the woman was also leaving Umijima Island, so the two of them traveled together.

"Mr. Ryoko".

"Hello, Mr. Ryoko."

“Mr. Ryoko, the lady is waiting for you in the wine pool.”

The fools who came and went treated him with great respect. No one dared to be disrespectful to someone who could confront a god face to face, and he was a figure that even women feared.

Shen Liang nodded and walked to the wine tank in the middle of the cabin. He saw the mature and beautiful female executive sitting on a leather sofa, holding a glass of frozen red wine. A wisp of flame rose from her fingertips, melting the ice, before she took a small sip, drank the melted wine, and then lit the flame again to heat it.

"Shen," the woman greeted him, "Would you like a drink?"

"The alcohol in your Winter Solstice Kingdom is too weak; it's not appetizing."

The woman was taken aback. The wine of the Winter Solstice Kingdom was known as the strongest among the seven kingdoms, often reaching 30 or 40 proof. But then she saw Shen Liang open the teleportation screen, rummage around inside for a while, and pull out a clear glass bottle. He poured a glass for her and himself, saying, "Want to try some?"

"This is?"

"Homemade wine is basically the cheapest type of alcohol in our country, the kind that ordinary people use as their staple food," Shen Liang said in fluent Mandarin. "It doesn't have a name; it's generally called 'homemade liquor'."

"The kind of wine that ordinary people drink?" The woman scoffed. In her opinion, Shen Liang's physique was inferior to that of ordinary people on the Teyvat continent, let alone the kind of wine that ordinary people in their world drank.

I am the executor! The executor personally appointed by the Queen!

Chapter 88 I quite like the Ice Fire Mage

Then she was stunned by the spiciness, coughing violently as she stared at Shen Liang in disbelief, "You're teasing me?"

Shen Liang admired the magnificent snow-capped peaks that rose and fell with her cough, shrugged, and casually gulped down his drink.

The woman's beautiful eyes widened, and it took her a long time to accept the reality that she couldn't even hold her own against a child in a drinking contest.

"Wasn't Ruka from Coral Palace with you?"
