Lu Bu, the Thunder General, is my adoptive father in Genshin Impact.

All that's left is this maid outfit she's wearing!

Xiao Yi then asked the short-haired black dog to deliver a message, telling Ke Qing not to worry too much. In fact, he had ordered many different styles of maid outfits, and Ke Qing could change them every day.

Yuheng began to withdraw into himself.

……

A full day has passed since the incident on the snow mountain.

A Mondstadt-style tavern in Liyue.

Lu Renjia, like a recently unemployed corporate slave, sat in the corner of the room, frantically drinking alcohol, his eyes bloodshot with fatigue.

"How is the child?"

Lu Renjia looked up at the source of the voice and found that the person asking the question was Xiao Zhen's savior, the eccentric one-eyed Inazuma agent, whose surname seemed to be Yudi.

“I was rushed to Bubulu for emergency treatment and I’m out of danger now, but the doctor said no one can visit me.” Lu Renjia scratched his messy hair. “The doctor also meddlesomely, saying that I’m not in good condition and told me to eat something to calm down.”

"How can I possibly calm down after something like this happened to my daughter?!"

He slammed his fist on the table, spilling wine on it, drawing all eyes to him.

"So you came here to drown your sorrows?" Yu Di asked casually as he sat down opposite Lu Renjia.

"..." Lu Renjia did not answer.

"What will you and that child do next?" Yuji changed the subject. "As far as I know, it seems that Narukami has agreed to give you a civil servant position in Liyue."

Lu Renjia's eyes blazed with fury as he gritted his teeth and said, "A peaceful life can wait until the Righteous Society is destroyed. I will not let those bastards who harmed Xiao Zhen live freely and do whatever they want in this world!"

Yu remained silent and gently shook his head.

……

Xiao Yi's hotel.

A few days ago, he was captured by Keqing here, but now Xiao Yi is not in the hotel. Instead, a blue-haired girl who was invited to the hotel is sitting on the edge of the bed.

Since Xiao Yi had taken the horns from her head, Gan Yu, whose head was now bald on both sides, was getting restless. With the other party still not arriving, she really wanted to go back to Yuehaiting and work through the night.

Gan Yu walked to the bathtub by the window, gazing at the scenery of Liyue Harbor. She then grabbed some Qingxin herbal bath herbs from the bamboo basket beside her and stuffed them into her mouth one by one to fill her stomach.

Click, the door opened.

Before Gan Yu could react, Xiao Yi grabbed her from behind, roughly pushed her onto the bed, deftly closed the window, and skillfully turned off the lights in the room.

A series of combos left Gan Yu completely bewildered. She wanted to say something, but was afraid that Qingxin would fall out of her mouth, so she hesitated and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yi lifted the thick quilt from the hotel bed, covering the Qilin girl completely, and then crawled inside himself, as if an indescribable scene was about to unfold.

The two faces were only a few centimeters apart.

“Miss Gan Yu, I obtained an Yin-Yang talisman from the fox and hid it in the cotton of the blanket to prevent eavesdropping. What I am about to say is very important, concerning the future of Liyue and Inazuma. Please listen carefully.”

"Mmm," the blue-haired girl replied, chewing on a refreshing flower.

……

A dozen minutes later.

Gan Yu was no longer in the room; in her place stood a beautiful and dignified silver-haired girl, the innocent Princess Bailu, nervously standing by the bed, not daring to look Xiao Yi in the eye.

"May I ask what your orders are, my adopted son?" Ayaka Kamisato asked hesitantly, her face flushed.

Xiao Yi slowly lifted the blanket.

"Come in and talk."

"Huh? -- Eh???"

……

The residence of General Thunder.

Liyue Harbor is wealthy and powerful, so of course they wouldn't arrange for Ying and Xiao Yi to live in the same place. Instead, they would each be provided with an entire building, placed on either side of the central area.

Thor hovered above the luxurious bed, his right leg crossed and his left leg resting on his right, in a posture similar to a half-lotus position, with his eyes closed as if he were meditating.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Ying opened her eyes. There weren't many people in the world who would dare to break into her room without reporting it.

The suspended Thor landed on the ground.

"Xiao Yi, what's the matter?" Ying asked suspiciously. "Weren't you spending the night with your fiancée?"

Therefore, she thoughtfully turned off the shared view.

"Miss Ying, don't ask any questions. Just pose as I say." Xiao Yi didn't intend to explain. He took out a jujube cake, a specialty of Liyue, from behind him and instructed, "If you do this, I will give you the jujube cake."

"Oh." Thor's tone was calm, seemingly uninterested in the date cake, but in reality, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Turn around."

Ying obediently turned around.

"Raise your hands."

The shadows were arranged in a French-style pictographic style.

“I did as you said,” Ying said impatiently. “Can I have the Liyue dessert now?”

However, Xiao Yi, who was facing away from her, had a bright purple gemstone on his chest and held a halberd made of lightning in both hands, in a filial posture as if he was about to swing a signal axe.

……

That night, thunder roared, a sound no less deafening than the collapse of the Jade Pavilion echoing throughout the city.

A purple meteor shot out from Thor's residence, and the shockwave caused destruction, smashing numerous buildings and flying thousands of meters away before finally creating a crater-like crater at its point of impact.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

It was later discovered that the meteor-like light was actually the deity of Inazuma, the Thunder General.

When Thor was found deep inside the pit, he was already in a deep sleep and could not be awakened. Beside him was an object that looked like a date cake.

At the same time, Ming Shenzi Xiao Yi disappeared, as did his fiancée, the Seven Star Secretary Gan Yu.

……

In Xiao Yi's room, Yu Heng, dressed in a maid's outfit, was searching for clues. She stared intently at the large characters engraved with lightning elements on the wall, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Goodbye, godfather, and goodbye to my cowardice." Ke Qing slowly read these words.

The thought of the foreign deity being betrayed by his adopted son in Ligang and turned into an unconscious plant god, and the adopted son abducting the highly respected immortal secretary and possibly joining the Righteous Society... made Lord Yuheng feel like his head was three times bigger than usual.

Chapter 137 The Rebellious Narukami (4k)

Three days have passed since the general was betrayed for the second time. Unlike the previous act, the fact that Thor has not yet woken up proves that Xiao Yi is serious this time.

In this way, the fact that Liyue had imprisoned Narukami in the past seems like a minor matter compared to the current situation. After all, the god was assassinated in a foreign land, and the assassin was his adopted son, whose status was similar to that of a prince consort of Liyue. The situation was as complicated as a tangled and knotted ball of yarn.

Not to mention, the adopted son's motive was most likely to regain his power so that he could kill a god and join forces with Liyue's enemy—the Righteous Order and its leader, the Great Righteous Lord.

If this happens, Liyue will face a major crisis.

……

When the news reached Inatsume, the shogunate was in an uproar.

Since Raigin and the Shaka magistrate are away in another country, Narukami Island is currently managed by the Tenryo magistrate and the Kansei magistrate, with Sangomiya Kokoro temporarily acting as the Shaka magistrate's agent.

Following the incident involving the vengeful spirit and Narukami's numerous diplomatic exchanges with Umijima, the shogunate was no longer as hostile to Sangokushima as it had been during the war. In order to maintain stability in Inazuma, where the gods were no longer present, the three magistrates continued to check and balance each other, keeping Narukamima's development on track.

Of course, there was no shortage of people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, but Xin Hai also had no shortage of ways to deal with it. The heads of the other two families were not ordinary people either. Before the news of Lei Shen's assassination came again, Inazuma was still thriving.

However, when news of Raijin's assassination arrived, although the shogunate immediately blocked the information, stating that Raijin was still alive and that the people should not spread rumors, all sorts of rumors emerged, and the order that the three commissioners had worked so hard to maintain began to crack.

In the meeting place of the Inazuma high-ranking officials, the nobles sat around the tea table, forming a circle to facilitate discussion.

"It seems I was right. I've felt for a long time that Narukami is inherently rebellious!" said Takatsukasa Susumu, the head of the Takatsukasa family and the Tenryō Magistrate, with a sullen expression. "Now that he has truly betrayed the Shogun, things have spiraled out of control..."

“Mr. Takatsukasa, if you’re just going to repeat the problem and boast about how accurate your prediction was, instead of offering any practical advice, I suggest you keep quiet,” said Sango no Mikoto calmly. “What we need right now is not to engage in empty rhetoric and verbal attacks on Narukami-ko. That’s pointless. Our task is to heal the unconscious Narukami-no-Osho. We can discuss the matter of punishing the traitor’s adopted son later.”

Compared to the gentle and tactful shrine maiden in the Coral Palace on Umijima Island, Shinkai's current aggression has increased considerably, and her words are much sharper.

Despite the easing of tensions, the shogunate nobles remained hostile towards Coral Palace. If Shinkai were still a weak flounder, it would be difficult for her to gain a voice amidst the targeting of the crowd. So, she adapted to the situation and transformed into a pufferfish covered in thorns, making the nobles who were targeting her feel troubled.

"Miss Sangomiya, do you have any ideas on how to treat Lord Oogami?" said Nayo Kujo, the head of the Kujo family. "I believe that there are secrets hidden in your Umijima Island that the shogunate does not know. The current crisis is a crisis for the entire Inazuma Island. I believe that Umijima Island should make a great contribution to maintaining the peace of Inazuma Island."

Xin Hai calmly shook his head and replied, "Healing a severely injured god is no easy task. If Haiqi Island truly holds a secret, it will surely reveal it. However, we do not possess the ability to awaken the Great Palace."

"The best way to calm the current situation is to recall the head of the Kamisato family and Yaeji, and use their prestige to maintain the stability of Inazuma Castle, which is on the verge of chaos."

"As for the Great Palace's body, it must remain in Liyue, otherwise the people of Inatsume might notice. Also, the fairy magic of Liyue might be able to help her awaken,"

"These are my thoughts."

The nobles gradually became indignant; clearly, they opposed Xin Hai's opinion.

"You want to leave the General in a foreign land?"

"General, you must return to your roots!"

"Who knows what Liyue will do to the general's body? They're all profit-driven merchants; they might just display the general to earn Mora!"

"I heard that this is how they treat the Emperor's remains. Some merchants even chipped off pieces of the Emperor's body to take home and make tea, saying it could enhance male potency..."

This is a rumor.

"Please be quiet, everyone. In short, I agree to recall the head of the Kamisato family and the priest of Yae Palace." Kujo Kamaji offered a compromise. "As for the condition of the Grand Master, we will discuss it separately when the head of the Kamisato family and the priest return to Inazuma Castle."

Although the nobles opposed Shinkai, the Kujo family still held considerable prestige, and they readily agreed.

"Then let's leave it at that."

"Alright."

"Notify Liyue immediately."

……

At a members-only upscale club in Inazuma, Zhongli and Wendy savored the unique food while enjoying the geisha's dances and the soothing shamisen music.

“It sounds completely different from what I play on my harp!” the young bard remarked with a smile, then changed the subject, “But old man, Balzeb has fallen in your country, don’t you intend to do anything about it?”
