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

Kujo Sara showed him considerable respect. Shen Liang asked himself honestly, if he were facing someone who was practically an enemy, he certainly wouldn't have been able to communicate with Kujo Sara so sincerely, just for the sake of true peace in his heart.

"Thank you for helping me out, Lord Kujo. The magistrate has already arranged a welcome banquet for Mr. Ryoko at home, so I'm just taking Shen..." Thomas saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly stepped in to smooth things over and prepared to pull Shen Liang away.

But Kujo Sara immediately interjected, "Mr. Shen's name is Shen Liang, how can you call him Liangzi?"

She was a meticulous person. The "zi" at the end of her name was a nickname that Inazuma used for girls, and she felt that it was disrespectful to Shen Liang and could cause a diplomatic dispute.

"Huh?" Thomas was momentarily stunned. This form of address was something the magistrate had studied for a long time. It was said that, to express intimacy, almost everyone close to Shen Liang called him Ryoko in this affectionate way. The magistrate's use of "Ryoko-sensei" was both a friendly gesture and a sign of respect, and Shen Liang hadn't said anything about it!

Shen Liang was mainly used to it because he had heard it for too long. He used to argue against it, but it was no use. From the priestesses of the Hokuto to the Coral Palace, everyone who knew him liked to call him that. They even argued that our Inazuma's single-character name was too awkward to pronounce. If you don't call him Ryoko, we'll call you Ryo-liang. Don't you feel even more awkward?

So when Kujo Sara pointed this out, he was quite happy.

Thomas knew Kujo Sara's serious nature, so he smiled wryly and changed the subject, "The welcome banquet is scheduled for tomorrow. Today, I will accompany Mr. Shen on his sightseeing tour of Inazuma. After that, Miss will make her own arrangements for her stay in Inazuma."

“Ayaka?” Kujo Sara nodded. “Since you’re free today, you can go back now. Tomorrow (Kani) I will take Mr. Shen to Kamisato House.”

“Okay.” Thomas nodded habitually, then realized what Kujo Sara had said and looked up abruptly, “What!?”

“Mr. Shen, you can hand him over to me for now. I’m already an acquaintance with you.” Kujo Sara then turned to look at Shen Liang. “Mr. Shen shouldn’t mind if I accompany you today, right?”

"It doesn't matter, the Kamisato family, the Kujo family, etc., they're all pretty much the same to me anyway."

"But then all those days I spent setting up a tent at the dock were for nothing!" Thomas said dejectedly. However, he couldn't refute the words of the head of the Kujo family, so he could only bow and take his leave. He also noticed that the comrades of the Tenryo Magistrate did not follow Kujo Sara, but left as well.

He looked at this scene with a sense of enlightenment. If the Kansei Magistrate really had a falling out with Shen Liang, it seemed that Kujo Sara was preparing to use force to suppress Shen Liang in order to prevent him from getting angry. Fortunately, Hiiragi Shinsuke managed to hold back his anger, otherwise the two heads of the family would probably have turned on each other here.

--------

A few hours later, the carriage rattled along from the island to a field where Inazuma Castle could be seen.

Meanwhile, Kujo Sara was dutifully acting as Shen Liang's tour guide.

"This is the White Fox Field, the only way to reach Inazuma Castle. Although it's winter now, you can still see red foxes darting around everywhere. This is the best place for the people of Inazuma Castle to go on spring outings. You can already see quite a few people here, right? They're all bringing their families to enjoy the spring."

Shen Liang rubbed his eyes. He had actually fallen asleep in the carriage. Looking out the window, he saw a vast grassland that was a rare sight in any city on Earth.

Thanks to Hua Haiyue's healing abilities, his vision had greatly improved, with both eyes now having a visual acuity of 2.0 or higher. He could clearly see what food was on the picnic blankets spread out by tourists in the White Fox Field. Shen Liang had never seen such a scene on Haizhi Island before, and the people of Haizhi could not possibly be so wealthy that even ordinary citizens could afford to go on outings.

Narukami Island is indeed a good place.

"Why are there only red foxes in the White Fox Wilderness?" Shen Liang saw the foxes running around everywhere, almost to the point of being an overpopulation.

“White foxes are rare and very beautiful, and they usually become pets of the Inatsume people. Over time, there are fewer and fewer white foxes in the White Fox Field. Red foxes are left unattended, and since foxes have a high status in our Inatsume area, no one likes to hunt them, so they naturally proliferate,” Kujo Sara replied. “However, foxes seem to have a spirit, so no matter how many they proliferate, their numbers are kept within a certain range and do not affect the stability of the Inatsume people’s lives.”

Shen Liang originally wanted to catch a white fox to take back for Rosalia and the others to play with, but a red fox... he wasn't really interested in that.

"Legend has it that the Fox Maiden who served the (Kani) General five hundred years ago was a white fox in human form." Kujo Sara is very serious about her tour guide career. "Known as the Sakura Maiden, she had many friends and left her mark in countless Inazuma folk tales. After her death, her 'Heavenly Fox' and 'Earthly Fox' turned into stone statues, which can be seen everywhere in Inazuma. Even ordinary foxes have lost their spirit—originally, the foxes in Inazuma could talk."

Shen Liang, who was listening to the story, suddenly heard an anxious shout from outside.

"Miss Tsubaki? Miss Tsubaki? Is anyone there? Hey, you carriage over there, please stop! Someone here has fainted and needs help! Oh dear, please stop... Damn it!"

It was the voice of a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was clear and fast, like scattering beans. Just as Shen Liang was about to peek out, he felt the carriage being stopped by something!

The two-horse carriage nearly overturned! Inside the carriage, Kujo Sara quickly scooped Shen Liang into her arms and flew out!

The two looked down at the same time and saw a strong girl with orange hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a low-cut orange-red kimono with a cinched waist, using a bandage as a breast wrap, and wearing many cute goldfish tattoos and accessories such as bracelets and sachets. She was dressed like some kind of old-fashioned gyaru and was pressing down hard on a horse, forcing the carriage to stop with her strength!

"What do you want to do! You dare to rob the carriage of the Tenryo Magistrate!" The coachman was shocked, angry, and even wanted to laugh. This was a military carriage, with the Kujo family crest clearly painted on it! And even if you wanted to rob someone, you did it here, less than two miles from Inazuma Castle!

"Who's trying to rob me! Can't you see someone here needs medical treatment?!" the girl shouted defiantly. "I told you to stop, but you wouldn't! You made me do it! I didn't want to either!"

Then they saw Kujo Sara fly out of the car and Shen Liang in her arms. Her arrogant demeanor vanished instantly.

"Ah... Kujo Tengu?" The girl subconsciously touched the Eye of God in her pocket, then hurriedly chuckled awkwardly, "No, Miss Kujo, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your sweet talk in the carriage, it's just that the situation is urgent."

Chapter 97 There's something fishy about this random NPC being so beautiful.

Kujo Sara gently landed and placed Shen Liang, who was in her arms, on the ground. Only then did the orange-haired girl have a chance to see Shen Liang's face, and she couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Wow, what a handsome boy! It's a bit strange to use 'handsome' to describe a man, but I can't think of any other words. No wonder I thought you, Miss Kujo, were always unapproachable, yet you're interested in boys. You're actually quite cute!" The girl exclaimed in amazement. "It's just that they don't look quite right together. Miss Kujo, you're at least 15 centimeters taller than him, so you shouldn't be wearing wooden clogs."

Shen Liang discovered that this girl was indeed talkative, and each time she spoke, she spoke no less than fifty words.

Then the girl noticed Shen Liang's gaze. "Hello, you're so handsome. I've never seen a boy more handsome than a girl. My name is Naganohara Yoomiya, the owner of the Naganohara fireworks shop in Hanamisaka. You can just call me Yoomiya. So, what should I call you?"

This girl, dressed like a delinquent, was quite outgoing. Shen Liang glanced at the goldfish tattoo on her chest a few times. He had never seen a real delinquent before. Although Raiden Mei was involved in the yakuza, she was essentially a well-bred young lady. "Shen Liang."

Kujo Sara then sized her up for a moment, her tone somewhat cold, "You've already handed over the Eye of God, yet you still have this much strength. Hmph, that's suspicious, Yoomiya."

"Ahaha, yeah, how strange." Yomiya scratched the back of her head, trying to laugh it off, but Kujo Sara didn't continue to question her. Instead, she let her off the hook and walked behind her to look at the wounded man lying on the ground.

Then her pupils contracted.

Yonomiya didn't notice her expression, but seeing that she wasn't going to pursue the matter, she hurriedly helped the unconscious woman up and said to Kujo Sara, "This is Aunt Tsubaki. You might not know her, but she's a regular customer who's always been a good patron of our fireworks shop. It looks like Aunt Tsubaki went out for a spring outing today, but she's not in good health, and the cold wind made her collapse. I just happened to be passing by, and luckily you were passing by too. Please take her back to town to find a doctor quickly."

"Miss Tsubaki?" Kujo Sara's expression was somewhat strange.

But she was about to help Chun into the car when she heard Shen Liang call out, "It's common sense that you shouldn't move an unconscious patient. Leave her there and I'll get out and check on her."

Although he lacks medical skills, Shen Liang possesses the Coral Palace's secret technique, the Transformation of the Sea Moon, a body-purifying method with extremely strong healing power. While it cannot cure diseases, it is quite effective in alleviating symptoms.

Shen Liang knelt down beside Chun and carefully examined her condition. She was a beautiful woman with fair skin and long silver hair; her tightly closed eyes made her appear somewhat frail and pitiful. It was truly a different world; even a random passerby was a stunning beauty. However, judging from her exquisite face and skin, Shen Liang guessed she wasn't from a commoner background.

It doesn't matter.

Under Xiao Gong's terrified gaze, Shen Liang held Chun's small hand and felt her pulse. He didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but he could feel that Chun's pulse was gradually weakening, which seemed to indicate not only unconsciousness, but more likely sudden death.

Shen Liang pressed his hand against her chest through her clothes, circulating the Moonlit Sea to nourish her organs as much as possible while performing CPR. He had been worried about whether he should explain to Kujo Sara and the others that he wasn't taking advantage of the woman, but the Teyvats didn't seem to be so ignorant; they understood exactly what he was doing and remained silent.

"What are you standing there for? Give me CPR," Shen Liang urged.

“Sara doesn’t know how to do this,” Kujo Sara said in a deep voice. “Sara is, after all, a woman. In the army, she naturally has a doctor by her side. There’s no need for her to learn artificial respiration, and no one can perform it.”

"You can't expect me to do it, can you?" Shen Liang hesitated. Although he wasn't exactly a perfectionist and had met plenty of girls from the Fools on Haiqi Island, those were all fleeting encounters. The thought of doing such a thing to a random unconscious patient... still made him somewhat reluctant.

Just as he was considering whether to tear off a piece of his clothing to separate his lips, Xiaogong couldn't stand it anymore. "Honestly! It's a matter of life and death, why are you being so hesitant! I'll do it!"

"This isn't about being coy! Do you even know how to breathe properly?!" Shen Liang snapped. "The oxygen requirements of someone who has suffered sudden death are almost the same as those of air. If you don't know breathing techniques, you shouldn't even be here!"

"Then go for it! What's wrong? Are you afraid your first kiss will be taken away?!" Xiaogong shouted. "It's okay! If you care so much about your purity, I didn't have a first kiss either. I'll give you mine back! Hurry up and save him!"

Is this something that can be returned?

Shen Liang gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of cloth and covered Chun's lips, then took a deep breath and leaned down.

The next second, he saw the patient beneath him suddenly gasp for breath, open his eyes in confusion, and meet Shen Liang's gaze as he was about to kiss him.

Shen Liang's mind raced. "Hello, I..."

"Oh dear..." The silver-haired beauty looked troubled. "Well, although I don't know what happened, although you're very cute, what you're doing is still a crime. Could you please get off me?"

Shen Liang's face turned bright red. After a long while, he stood up and turned his head stiffly. "Kujou Sara, you explain yourself."

"Oh my, Sara-chan is here too?" Tsubaki was lying on the ground when she turned her head and saw Kujo Sara with a complicated expression. She also saw Yoomiya happily rushing over from the side.

Her expression underwent a subtle change; after some thought, she understood the situation.

"It was this gentleman who saved me." Chun slowly got up, straightened her clothes, and thanked Shen Liang gently. Then she slowly said, "I am Chun, just an ordinary craftswoman living in Hanamisaka. This is an old problem of mine. I didn't expect that this time I would faint without even having time to take medicine."

"Does Aunt Tsubaki know Miss Kujo?" Yoomiya looked left and right.

Kujo Sara seemed to want to say something, but when she saw Tsubaki give her a gentle wink, she held back and remained silent.

"We met once before, Mr. Sara. He played with my daughter when she was little."

"Aunt Chun looks so young, how come she already has a daughter?" Xiaogong was surprised.

"You're so good with words, Xiaogong. My daughter is about your age." Chun smiled gently, then looked at Shen Liang. "Mr. Shen, I can't thank you enough. My illness is so serious that if no one finds it, I might not be able to be saved... Hehehe, I never thought that I would be saved by such a beautiful child."

“This is sudden cardiac death. You may have some heart problems. Since you have this kind of illness, you shouldn’t go out alone. You are at risk of falling into a coma and dying at any time,” Shen Liang said seriously.

"Mr. Shen... you recognize my illness?" Chun's beautiful eyes lit up slightly as she grabbed Shen Liang's hand and pressed it to her chest. "Yes, I felt a warm power nourishing my body before. Is that what it is? Can... can you be my private doctor?"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Best Friends Are Getting Married to the Same Person...

Most teenagers might succumb to the soft, pleading of an elderly woman with silver hair, but Shen Liang was hard-hearted after all. He withdrew his hand from the soft breasts and said, "I can't tell what kind of illness it is. I can't cure cardiovascular diseases either."

"Huh... She's so cute, why does she talk so coldly?"

"Ahem." Kujo Sara coughed to interrupt, "Mr. Shen, why don't you just give it a try? Miss Tsubaki can offer you a very generous reward. Even if you can't cure her, making Miss Tsubaki feel more comfortable like you did just now is something that almost no doctor can do. Even if you just spend more time with Miss Tsubaki, it would be good."

Chun spoke softly, "If it really doesn't work, could you treat me every few days? Auntie wants to live a little longer."

Since things had been put this way, Shen Liang couldn't refuse. After considering it for a while, he realized that Chun could tell from her attire that she was a high-ranking official or nobleman. Since Shen Liang didn't have a good reputation in Daoqi, it wouldn't be bad to start by developing a relationship with someone who looked wealthy.

Besides, it's a good opportunity to practice on someone. Although the logic of the Transformation of the Sea Moon technique is "purifying a person's body," there are many ways to "purify." Since it can make a heart patient feel more comfortable, it might be able to be applied to other areas after becoming proficient.

For example... Kiana's mother?

Shen Liang knew who the Shaniat family was. How could the head of such a family, who was almost at the pinnacle of wealth and power, not receive the best treatment? They might have even used extraordinary methods. But even so, the head of the Shaniat family was nearing his end... He wasn't sure if his Transformation of the Sea Moon technique could prolong his life.

Although he could summon Ruka Sangomiya to Earth, in the end, Ruka Sangomiya's Transformation of the Moon was exactly the same as his. In fact, due to her personality, Ruka Sangomiya didn't practice this secret technique much, so its actual effect was not as good as his.

Coral Palace Heart Sea, on the other hand, has a deep understanding of the Transformation into the Sea Moon. Unlike her aunt, she prefers the healing abilities of the water element to the combat abilities of the water element. Her Transformation into the Sea Moon can almost instantly bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded—it's just that the progress is not yet full, and she is not yet able to bring the little witch to Earth.

Let's focus on improving our skill proficiency.

Shen Liang reluctantly agreed, but at that moment, a dialog box appeared in his field of vision.
