In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Xin Hai was somewhat unwilling to believe her ears, because she knew what it meant: Liang Gongyou going to Liyue meant that he wouldn't be back for a long time, and she wouldn't see him again for a long time either.

"So, this time you came..."

"Consider this a farewell before I leave. If all goes well, I'll be back within three years. If not, I may never come back."

"I see..."

Suzumiya Yu was telling the truth. If his plans in Liyue went smoothly, he should be able to return to Inazuma within three years. If not, he would very likely die under the spear of the Rock Lord.

"I want to apologize for what happened during our last meeting. I acted impulsively at the time, and I hope you won't forgive me."

When Suzumiya Yu met Kokoro last time, Suzumiya Yu kissed her underwater. Even if nothing outrageous happened, it was still something a naive young girl couldn't accept in a short time.

"Well...it's actually okay," Xin Hai's cheeks flushed again as she thought about what had happened. "Because...because..."

She bit her lip, looking as if she was struggling with something, until finally, she revealed her true feelings.

"Because I actually really like you! I've had feelings for you ever since you saved me when we first met!"

After saying it out loud, Xin Hai immediately covered her mouth with both hands, as if she could hardly believe that she had actually said those words.

Suzumiya Yu remained calm. Of all the women she had been trying to win over, Kokoro was the easiest to win over. She had simply played the part of a hero who turned the tide in a crisis, and yet she had easily captured her heart.

It has to be said that although Xin Hai is usually a shrewd and resourceful behind-the-scenes strategist, she is quite naive and innocent when it comes to matters of the heart. Otherwise, Liang Gongyou would not have been able to win her over so easily.

The reason Xin Hai revealed her true feelings at this time was because she knew that if she didn't speak up now, she would never have the chance to do so again.

Suzumiya Yuu never showed any affection for her, always maintaining a cold and expressionless demeanor, which made her believe that her chances of success were slim.

Rather than regretting it later, she'd rather gamble on the less than one percent chance of success. Even if she's rejected, she won't feel any regret.

"Is that so?" Having already rehearsed the next part of the script in her mind, Suzumiya Yu took a step forward and gently placed her hand on Shinkai's face, revealing a smile that most women would find hard to resist.

"Actually, I feel the same way, which is why I came to find you before I left." Although that's what he said, Ryouko knew in her heart that his true thoughts were not like that at all.

The fact that he already has two wives makes it hard to believe what he's saying, but unfortunately, Xin Hai doesn't know that, so she's now so moved that she's about to cry.

......

On that day, Xin Hai gave herself completely; it was a request she made voluntarily, and Liang Gongyou did not force her.

Once everything had calmed down, Suzumiya Yu left Coral Palace under the cover of night, leaving a netsuke (a small figurine) on Kokoro's bedside with a small figure tied to it, made in his likeness.

When he returned to Narugami Island, it was already noon the next day. It was early spring, but the midday heat in Inazuma was already dizzying.

Since Suzumiya Yu is a demon, he doesn't have this feeling. If he wants, he can even ignore the temperature changes, as long as it's not the kind of temperature that can burn a person to the point of melting or freeze a person into an ice sculpture.

Instead of returning to the Kamisato family immediately, he went to the Naganohara fireworks shop.

Outside the shop, Yomiya's father, Ryunosuke Naganohara, was squatting there counting the number of fireworks.

Suzumiya Yui stepped forward and softly called out the other person's name: "Ryunosuke-san, is Yoomiya home?"

His purpose in coming here was naturally to find Xiaogong, but Xiaogong was often not at home, as he would go out on business from time to time, and he would be gone for the whole day.

Chapter 155 The Farewell Gift from the Night Palace

If Xiaogong goes out during the day, she will definitely not return until night. I wonder what she does in the meantime.

Could it be true, as players have speculated, that the seemingly warm and passionate older sister, Yoomiya, is actually a yakuza boss in secret?

That possibility cannot be ruled out, but that's not something Suzumiya Yuu needs to worry about. Right now, all he needs to do is meet with Yoshimiya.

"Huh? What? Oh right, you're right." Naganohara Ryunosuke had his back to Suzumiya Yuu, then slowly stood up, and only when he turned around could he see his face clearly.

"Ah, so you're the girl's friend. Are you here to visit her?" Naganohara Ryunosuke's hearing wasn't good, which is why he gave that answer earlier.

Suzumiya Yu didn't mind, since he would chat with Naganohara Ryunosuke every time he came to see Yoshimiya, and over time he got used to his quirks.

"The girl is inside. If you want to play with her, you'd better hurry up, lest she run out without saying goodbye again."

In fact, it wasn't that Yomiya didn't say hello when she left; rather, she did say hello, but Naganohara Ryunosuke didn't hear her.

After confirming that Yoomiya was home, Suzumiya Yui pushed open the door of the fireworks shop and went inside. A strong smell of gunpowder immediately filled the air.

There are many wooden shelves on the surrounding walls, displaying all kinds of fireworks. Almost every type of fireworks has a price tag, making it much easier for customers to choose.

Soon, Suzumiya Yu found Yominomiya at the back of the house.

At this moment, Xiao Gong was squatting on the ground, holding a firework that was half-finished, humming a little tune, looking very relaxed.

"Dad, I'll go prepare lunch in a bit. Remember to keep an eye on the shop." Hearing the noise, Xiao Gong thought it was her father, but when she turned around, she found that it was Liang Gong You.

Yui Suzumiya's appearance surprised Yomiya, so she immediately stopped what she was doing.

"Suzumiya, what brings you here?" Yomiya asked with a smile. In fact, their relationship was so good that they could call each other by their first names, but because it was already a habit, Yomiya still preferred to call Suzumiya Yui by her surname.

"I'm about to head to Liyue, so I've come to say goodbye." Ryoumi smiled; only when facing Yoruguchi did he not maintain his cold demeanor.

Strangely enough, it's as if Xiaogong has a natural attraction; whenever you talk to her, you're influenced by her personality and end up showing a different side of yourself than usual.

“Going to Liyue, huh? I see.” Unlike Xin Hai’s reaction, Xiao Gong did not feel disappointed by Liang Gong You’s departure. Instead, he said with a smile.

"That's wonderful! I've been curious about what Liyue is like. When you come back from your trip, you must tell me about what you saw and heard in Liyue."

"Sigh, what a pity. I used to have some dealings with the Southern Cross fleet of Liyue, but I heard that they harbored wanted criminals during the Eye Hunt and they haven't restored relations with the Shogunate yet."

During the Eye Hunting Order, the Southern Cross Fleet's secret hoarding of Kaedehara Manyo was exposed, leading to a complete falling out with the shogunate. Now that the Eye Hunting Order has ended, the relationship between the two has not improved.

The Night Palace had transported fireworks to Liyue several times, and the Northern Dipper's Southern Cross fleet helped transport them. Unfortunately, due to the sensitive relationship with the Shogunate, the Night Palace no longer has any dealings with them.

"I know you like listening to stories. Liyue has many ghost stories and legends of immortals. I will definitely tell you them all."

"Then it's a deal. But before that, I'll give you something. Remember to keep it with you."

As he spoke, Xiaogong rummaged in his pocket for a while, and then took out a small gadget, which was a miniature figure that looked exactly like Xiaogong.

"These are mini fireworks that I made with great care. Don't let their small size fool you, they're really beautiful when they explode. Take them with you. If you get homesick in Liyue, just let them go. Consider it a farewell gift from me."

Yoomiya smiled and then handed the miniature figure in her hand to Suzumiya Yu.

"I wish you a safe return. We'll go to the fireworks festival together, and I'll bring Miss Kamisato along too. You're friends with her, right? I really like her, and I hope I can chat with her for a bit."

As Yoomiya continued talking to herself, Ryouya said goodbye and left the fireworks shop.

After that, he went to the castle tower again.

"Husband." Upon seeing Suzumiya Yu's arrival, Kage, who had been sitting in a chair reading a light novel, immediately stood up. "Is everything prepared? When do you plan to depart?"

Unlike Xin Hai Xiao Gong, Ying knew that Liang Gong You planned to go to Li Yue, so she was concerned about whether the other party was ready.

"It's almost over. The only thing that worries me now is her." Ryoujiro looked into a secret room deep inside, where Ying had been imprisoned for more than a month, but even so, she did not believe Ryoujiro's words.

There was no other way; Suzumiya Yuu couldn't just let her go like that, so she had Kage seal away Ying's power, so that she could occasionally go out for a walk.

If a person stays in a dimly lit place for a long time, their mind will become unstable over time. Yuu Suzumiya doesn't want to see Hotaru become a madwoman. After all, she is one of the twin protagonists, and she chose Hotaru, so she can be considered half of herself.

"I'll be leaving in a couple of days. During this time, all of Inazuma's affairs will be handled by you as before," Suzumiya Yuu instructed Kage.

"We must always keep an eye on the movements of the Fools and the Abyss Order. Don't worry, if anything happens, I can find out immediately through Thomas and Sara's first-person perspectives."

After saying that, Ryou stepped forward and kissed Kage, who also skillfully cooperated with his actions.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay with you tonight." After the passionate kiss, he whispered in Ying's ear, sending a shiver of pleasure through her body.

"It's alright. I hope you will be careful on your journey to Liyue, and please don't lose your life." As she spoke, Ying added with a playful laugh, "If you encounter thunderstorms in Liyue, please stop and observe, because that's me missing you."

As one of the seven rulers of the mortal world, Kage's power can directly influence the weather. For example, the storm in the outer sea of ​​Inazuma some time ago was caused by her will.

However, it has now disappeared. After all, Suzumiya Yu is going to Liyue by boat in a couple of days, and it would be embarrassing if she were struck by lightning and thrown into the sea.

Chapter 156 Is Ryoko Yuu going to be a father?

After leaving the castle tower, Suzumiya Yuu's next destination was Narukami Shrine, where he found Yae no Miko standing under the Rai-zakura tree.

"Oh dear, you actually put me so far down the list?" Yae no Miko started making a fuss as soon as they met. "First, the living god priestess of Haiqi Island, then the fireworks craftsman of Inazuma Castle, and then the Kage."

"I never expected that I would rank so low in your heart. It's truly heartbreaking." As she spoke, Yae no Miko covered her eyes with her sleeve and made a sobbing sound, as if she were really crying.

However, such poor acting skills were completely ineffective against Suzumiya Yu.

"I'm about to leave, why don't you do a divination for me and tell me what my future holds? If you predict that I will die in Liyue, then I won't leave."

Suzumiya Yu was obviously joking when she said that, and Yae no Miko knew it too, so she said it jokingly.

"I've calculated it. If you go to Liyue, you'll die a terrible death. Your body will be riddled with countless holes by the Geo Archon's spear, and you'll be crying and begging him not to kill you."

"However, if you choose to stay, many good things will happen, such as having a house full of children and grandchildren within twenty years, and countless women throwing themselves at you. How about it, are you tempted?"

Suzumiya Yu couldn't help but twitch her lips. She really hadn't expected that Yae no Miko would make such a silly joke.

Would I accept any woman who throws herself at me? Absolutely not! I only choose the pretty ones.

"If you keep making jokes like that, I'm leaving."

"Oh dear, don't be so easily teased. You should be more interesting than usual."

Yae no Miko smiled, and suddenly, she stepped forward and grabbed Suzumiya Yu's head with both hands.

Suzumiya Yu didn't know what she was going to do, but because she didn't sense any malice from her, she didn't show any resistance.

The next second, something soft touched his forehead, accompanied by a fragrant aroma.

Those were Yae no Miko's lips; her action caught Suzumiya Yu somewhat off guard.

Although Yae no Miko is already her chosen harem member, Suzumiya Yuu has yet to find a way to successfully win her over.

But now? She's actually throwing herself into my arms, which makes Ryouji Yuu start to wonder if she's up to something bad again.

However, this was not the case. Yae no Miko's actions were entirely based on her true feelings.

"How was it? Did it make your heart flutter? Even if it did, it's okay, after all, I am the beautiful and wise Yae no Miko."

After her unexpected action, Yae no Miko reverted to her usual unserious demeanor, completely losing the impression she had just given off.

"In Liyue's words, you're incorrigible." Ryouji Yu shook his head, and after a few more brief words, he left Narukami Shrine.

......

Finally, he returned to the Kamiri family.

"Um... Young Master Suzumiya Yu." Just as they stepped into the courtyard gate of the Kamisato Mansion, a servant hurriedly came up to them.

"Is there something you need?" Ryou Miyako asked, looking at her expressionlessly.
