In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Because it was late at night when she arrived, and so much time had passed, it was already getting light. Instead of returning directly to the Kamisato family, Suzumiya Yu went to Inazuma Castle.

Just as Yae no Miko said, I should speed up my progress in conquering the Shadow.

On his way to the castle tower, Suzumiya Yu happened to pass by the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. He stopped and looked around for a while, but did not see that familiar figure.

Over the past two years, his relationship with Xiaogong has improved considerably. Although he hasn't reached the point of successfully winning her over yet, it's only a matter of time.

Speaking of which, ever since Taki left with Suzumiya Yu that day, Midori and Daisuke have rarely come to the Yoshimiya house to play. They basically never run into them whenever they pass by.

Perhaps the departure of their friend dealt them a significant blow, but it was all meaningless, because Taki's life was destined to write a legendary story, while the two of them were just ordinary people.

After leaving Hanamiban, Suzumiya Yui spent some time arriving at the castle tower. Since he had become familiar with the guards on duty at the castle tower, he was allowed to pass without saying a word.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor of the castle tower, the general was pacing back and forth as usual. Yui Suzumiya ignored him and went straight to the second floor.

This is Ying's office, but right now, she has a thick stack of light novels on the side, one in her hand, a plate of tricolor dumplings in front of her, and is humming a tune from who-knows-when.

The gods' perception is still very strong. Even though Ying was focused on the light novel, she still noticed Suzumiya Yu's arrival immediately.

Kage initially thought that Suzumiya Yui would bring her a new light novel and sweets, just like before, but when she saw that the other person's hands were empty, she put down the light novel and stood up from her chair.

"How is it? These new-era literary works are not bad, are they?" Ryou Miyako did not get straight to the point, but asked first.

"At first, there were many things I didn't understand, but as I read more and more, I was able to understand what they meant," Ying replied truthfully.

Having spent five hundred years in the Pure Land of One Heart, she occasionally learned about things related to eternity, but she had no idea how Inazuma had developed.

That's why she couldn't understand Inazuma's current literary style immediately. However, as Yae no Miko said, Kage has a strong learning ability, and now she no longer has any difficulty understanding the content of the book.

Chapter 138 The Fall of the Shadow

"Really? Did you learn anything from it, uh... like, did you understand what feelings between opposite sexes are?"

"Feelings between opposite sexes... do you mean that thing called love?"

Suzumiya Yuu hadn't expected that Kage would understand her meaning so quickly.

"As for love, I can certainly understand it. After all, it has been mentioned in every light novel I've read recently. But I don't understand why some light novels would write that love is actually related to eternity?"

I once read a line in a light novel: "That is my eternal and unchanging love for you."

As a god who pursues eternity, the word "eternity" in this sentence naturally caught her attention. However, Ying still couldn't understand what love had to do with eternity.

Suzumiya Yu was taken aback for a moment, then she understood what Kage meant.

He had watched a lot of romantic TV shows and read many novels, and he didn't know how many of those scumbag quotes like "I will only love you for the rest of my life" were etched in his memory.

So he explained to Ying, "This eternity is not that eternity. Eternity is just a definition. It can refer to various different things. For example, the eternity you see in the book only refers to the feelings between lovers."

"Really? So... Eternity can apply to different things? I never thought of that." Shadow stroked his chin, his expression seemingly lost in thought.

This made Ryou's lips twitch involuntarily. After all this time, it turned out that Kage had never understood the meaning of eternity at all, and had simply turned a definition into a fixed pursuit.

"If that's the case, then isn't the realm of eternity easy to achieve? According to the book, all I need to do is find someone to spend the rest of my life with and make a love pact with them to obtain eternal affection."

Suzumiya Yu didn't know why Ying came to this conclusion, but what she said wasn't wrong. Eternity was easy to achieve, but what she had been pursuing before was the most unattainable eternity.

"I read in a book that there are some things to consider when choosing a partner. The most basic requirement is that the two people must like each other. But... what does it feel like to like someone? I can't understand it."

Just as Suzumiya Yu was about to speak, Kage suddenly threw herself into his arms.

This move caught Ryou Miyabi off guard, and even with his composure, he seemed somewhat at a loss at this moment.

A moment later, the figure in his arms raised its head and whispered, "I read in a book that if you like someone, rushing into their arms like this will make your heart race."

"That feeling is called being moved. Only when you are moved can you possibly like someone, so I want to test it out. Please forgive my intrusion."

Suzumiya Yu didn't say anything, just quietly let the other person fall into her arms. After a while, she softly asked, "How are you? Do you feel your heart racing?"

"Hmm, a little." Ying raised her head, a blush creeping onto her face. Even Liang Gongyou hadn't expected that the other party would throw herself at her before she had even done anything.

"Is this feeling what liking someone is?"

"Who knows? If that's how you feel, then just take it as liking."

After saying that, Ying broke free from Liang Gongyou's embrace, took a few steps back, and looked at the other person with a serious expression.

“Then, I have a presumptuous request,” Shadow took a deep breath, “please become my lover and grant me eternal love that lasts for a thousand generations.”

"Is that so, eternity..." Ryouji Yu murmured softly. He didn't think that Ying liked him; she just wanted to pursue eternity, so she took the initiative to propose to him.

However, unlike the protagonist in anime who would refuse a girl who was practically giving herself away, he readily agreed.

"If you insist on doing this, I have no objection. I just hope you won't regret it. Once you've made up your mind, I won't allow you to go back on your word."

After saying that, Ryou stepped forward, grabbed Ying's slender waist, placed her other hand on her cheek, and offered her lips.

Ying did not resist; instead, she cooperated with the other party. However, having never had a similar experience, she appeared very awkward and remained passive throughout.

After their lips parted, Ryou looked around, then picked up Kage, and the two quickly arrived at a room inside the castle tower.

This is the place where the Shadows rest, and it is also a forbidden area of ​​the Castle Keep. No one is allowed to enter without permission. If anyone dares to violate the rules, they will be immediately eliminated.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the room returned to calm. Suzumiya Yu and Kage lay on the bed, their bodies uncovered, covered only by a blanket.

"Is this all it takes to reach eternity?" Kage stared at the ceiling, while Suzumiya Yu, lying beside her, remained silent. "It's an unprecedented feeling. I can't understand the meaning of doing this, but... I don't hate it."

After saying that, Ying grabbed Ryou's hand and gently rested her face against his chest, feeling the reassuring warmth of his body.

"From today onwards, we will live together forever. Please take good care of me, my husband."

Suzumiya Yu was taken aback. Did Kage learn these words from light novels? That's an amazing learning ability; he can use them so aptly.

"Mmm." Subconsciously, Ryouya Ryouya answered Kage, turning his body to his side and gently pulling the other into his arms.

In his view, it's actually not bad to do this occasionally, to live a normal life like an ordinary person, away from danger and violence, and not have to worry about whether someone is following him every time he goes out.

Unfortunately, things have progressed to this point, and there is no turning back for Suzumiya Yu. He can only keep going in order to survive in this world. Otherwise, one day, the gods of Sky Island will come knocking and kill him without warning.

Speaking of Sky Island, Suzumiya Yui thought of the protagonist and Paimon. Logically speaking, since the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order had ended for so long, they should have already arrived at Inazuma.

However, this was not the case. No blond traveler appeared on the island, nor was anyone seen with a little creature floating beside them.

Suzumiya Yu was very puzzled. Why hadn't the two of them appeared yet? Could it be that they hadn't found a way to Inazuma for too long, so they went to other countries first?

That's not good news. As the protagonist gains more and more elemental power, her strength will also become stronger and stronger, and she may even eventually surpass the Seven Gods.

Chapter 139 The Shadow of Determined to Be a Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother

Even now, the Seven Gods still pose a great threat to Suzumiya Yu, as can be seen from the fact that the young master was able to severely injure him with the divine power of the Ice Queen.

Therefore, he must know the whereabouts of the protagonist and Paimon. Regardless of whether they will come to Inazuma, he must at least know the current strength of the protagonist.

Because of their differing stances, Suzumiya Yu is destined to be unable to coexist with her. Moreover, if she continues to develop in this way, she might even be eliminated by her.

......

The next morning, Suzumiya Yu woke up from his sleep and, recalling what had happened the night before, instinctively reached out his hand, but failed to grab the beauty in his arms.

Puzzled, he opened his eyes and found that Ying was no longer in bed. She had left without his noticing.

To be fair, Kage truly lives up to his reputation as one of the Seven Gods. If it were Ayaka Kamisato, no matter how careful she was when she got up, Suzumiya Yu would still find out.

However, just as Suzumiya Yu sat up in bed, intending to get dressed, he suddenly noticed that Kage was sitting at a table not far away, holding a book and reading it intently.

"Shadow?" Seeing that the other party had not noticed her at all, Suzumiya Yu called her name softly.

Upon hearing the voice, Ying immediately raised her head, and a smile appeared on her face: "You're awake, husband. Your clothes are right next to me."

Ying pointed to the clothes that were already folded by the bed. She hadn't felt it last night, but when she called him "husband," Liang Gongyou felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

Unexpectedly, after Yuu Suzumiya finished dressing, Kage also stood up from the chair.

She was dressed in casual clothes, with her sleeves crossed, and then she bent over slightly.

"I have already instructed the servants to prepare breakfast. My husband, you just need to wait a little while."

"Uh..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Ying tilted her head, looking at Suzumiya Yu with a blank expression.

“No, no, it’s nothing,” Ryoumi shook her head. “It’s just that…you seem a little different from usual.”

In fact, not only Kage, but also Suzumiya Yuu was acting differently than usual, though he himself hadn't noticed.

"Are you referring to my tone of voice and my manners just now?" Ying immediately understood what Suzumiya Yu meant. Then, she turned around, picked up the book from the table, and showed it to him.

"The divine child sent me this a while ago, saying it would be helpful to me in the future, and now it seems that it really is."

Suzumiya Yu narrowed her eyes, and when she saw the book's name, author, and the notes under the cover, she almost broke down and cursed on the spot.

Tips on becoming a good wife and mother: Old friends' guide.

Written by Yae Shenzi.

Note: My old friend, you're getting married soon, and I'm really going to miss you. Before you become his, I'll give you this textbook. I hope you can study it carefully.

With her lips and eyes twitching simultaneously, Suzumiya Yu had never been so speechless. This Yae no Miko really intended to raise Kage into a complete kitten.

I'm so damn grateful...

Although she was speechless at Yae no Miko's behavior, Suzumiya Yu thought about it again and realized that it might not be such a bad thing.

Imagine a general who appears aloof and superior to others, but in private, he's a little cat that meows softly in your ear.

Wow... just imagining that scene is exciting, let alone the possibility of it coming true.

Actually, sometimes, even a scoundrel like a fox can do good deeds.

Taking the book from Ying's hand, Ryoujiro opened the first page and glanced at it. However, just the first sentence completely dispelled his previous idea.

A good wife must prepare delicious meals for her husband every day, so you must cook for him, cook for him, cook for him—I can't stress this enough!

Sure enough, that vixen is still a vixen. Even from a great distance, she can still inspire murderous intent in people with just a few words.

Should she have Shadow cook for her? Compared to that, Suzumiya Yu would rather challenge the gods of Sky Island right now, where there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, Ying didn't intend to cook for Suzumiya Yu, otherwise she wouldn't have had the servants prepare breakfast.

"Speaking of which, I'm planning to choose a day to announce our relationship to everyone. Does my husband have any suggestions?" Ying revealed her upcoming plans.

Not long ago, she restored the ruling power of the three commissioners, and Inazuma entrusted them with most of the affairs, except for some things that she had to handle personally.

"No." However, to Ying's surprise, Ryouji Yu directly rejected her suggestion, "Absolutely not."
