As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, a little raccoon cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, a circle made of demonic power appeared beside Su Bai. Su Bai stepped into the circle, and the little raccoon cat followed closely behind. Ying looked into the circle but only saw a huge cherry blossom tree.

"By the way, Thomas, here's a talisman for you. Stick it on your forehead and you'll be able to understand what Xiu Gou is saying."

After tossing the talisman to Tomasuka, Su Bai instantly appeared inside Narukami Shrine. Smelling the cherry blossom scent in the air, the long-lost familiarity made Su Bai feel somewhat intoxicated. Looking at the two fox shrine maidens standing under the sacred cherry tree, Su Bai revealed a genuine smile.

"I am back."

Welcome back!

Chapter 250 'Welcome Reception and Cleansing Ceremony' (1)

In a courtyard of Narukami Shrine, amidst the scattering of flowers, Yae no Miko and Su Bai, along with two foxes, were lazily sitting around a small table. On the table were many Inazuma specialties, such as tricolor dango, quail egg sushi, and tempura, which whetted Su Bai's appetite, as he hadn't had Inazuma food in a long time.

Hana Sanri and Yae no Miko didn't eat much. They only ate a skewer of dumplings as a symbolic gesture before stopping. In their opinion, watching Su Bai eat was much more interesting than eating themselves.

"How can such delicious food be without wine? Little Su Bai, come, have a drink with your sister."

Just as they were enjoying their meal, Yae no Miko pulled out a jar of wine from somewhere. Su Bai's eyes lit up when he heard there was wine to drink. He then secretly glanced at Hana Sanri and saw that Hana Sanri was just holding his hand and looking at him without any objection. Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in Inazuma, Hana-sanri had strictly forbidden Su Bai from drinking alcohol. Even Yae no Miko would get a scolding from Hana-sanri for drinking in front of Su Bai.

"Then, Sister Shenzi, just give me a few less drinks. I haven't drunk much for two years, so I might not be used to it."

Su Bai, lying through his teeth, spoke with a straight face. However, he did not expect that Yae no Kami had already told Hana Sanri everything Su Bai had done in Mondstadt. Hana Sanri did not believe Su Bai at all that he hadn't drunk much, but he did not intend to expose Su Bai.

As the dinner progressed, Su Bai, who was slightly drunk, keenly noticed that something seemed amiss. What the hell was going on? He was the only one drinking one glass after another. He had finished two jars of wine, while Hua Sanli's glass was still not finished. No, it seemed he would have to resort to some tricks.

"It seems that Xiaobai has grown a lot in the past two years. He has even learned to fool his older sister. I really don't know whether I should be happy or annoyed."

"But you can't waste this wine like that. This is wine that I brewed myself. If it weren't for you coming back, Xiao Su Bai, I wouldn't have been able to drink it normally."

Watching Su Bai drink one cup and spill two, Yae no Miko smiled and tapped Su Bai's forehead with her finger. This little guy, after staying in Liyue for two years, has actually learned how to raise fish at the Liyue banquet table. He's really precocious for his age.

Seeing that his fish-raising plan had been discovered by Yae no Miko, Su Bai chuckled and used his specialty in front of Yae no Miko: playing dumb.

"What are you saying, Sister Shenzi? I didn't do anything. I came to see you as soon as I arrived in Inazuma. Why are you forcing me to drink? Sister Hana, why don't you try to persuade Sister Shenzi?"

Hana Sanri picked up her sake cup, her eyebrows arched, and smiled as she watched Yae no Miko pour sake for Su Bai. Hearing Su Bai asking for her help, Hana Sanri drank the sake in her cup in one gulp and said softly.

"Xiao Su Bai, you really should work on your alcohol tolerance. We didn't let you drink before because you were still young, but now that you're an adult, it's no problem for you to drink a little."

Hana Sanri's words made Su Bai hardly believe his ears. The Hana Sanri sister who used to favor him so much was now on the same side as the Shinko sister. So love really does disappear, right?

"Little Su Bai, the priest of Narukami Shrine is personally pouring you wine, and you still want to refuse? You should know that even the Kage has never enjoyed my service of pouring wine."

"Sister Shenzi, I really can't drink anymore. Your wine is too strong. If I keep drinking, I don't know where the afternoon will go."

Yae no Miko rolled her eyes at Su Bai. To outsiders, her charming appearance only made Su Bai feel a chill down his spine. Based on his years of experience with her, he deduced that his two older sisters were definitely hiding something from him.

Hua Jie must know about this, otherwise, given how much she dotes on him, she wouldn't let Shen Zi Jie torment this little fox like that.

"Well, Shinko-nee, I suddenly remembered that Thomas said Ayaka wanted to see me about something, so I'll have to go now. We'll continue drinking when I get back tonight."

Sensing something was amiss, Su Bai wouldn't let Yae no Miko continue to toy with him. He made an excuse and prepared to slip away, but escaping from Yae no Miko's grasp was no easy task. Looking at the lightning-studded barrier around him, Su Bai steeled himself and looked at Yae no Miko. Yae no Miko poured herself a cup of wine, and her slightly narrowed fox-like eyes made it impossible for Su Bai to guess her thoughts.

"Hehe, Xiao Su Bai just got back to Inazuma and hasn't even finished a meal with his sister yet, and he's already going to find that little girl. That little girl from the Kamisato family is truly enviable."

"Sister Shenzi, I'm just going to visit Ayaka. It's not like I'm never coming back. What are you saying?"

"That's hard to say~ Little Su Bai said before that he was just going to visit the Kamisato family, but he didn't come back for three days and three nights. If it weren't for Senior Hana Sanri coming to find you personally, Little Su Bai, you probably wouldn't have left the Kamisato family, right?"

As Yae no Miko played with the wine glass in her hand, her casual remark left Su Bai speechless with embarrassment. Back then, he was quite young and was indeed attracted by all sorts of interesting things from the Kamisato family. At that time, Kamisato Ayaka's parents had even given him a very warm welcome.

"Well, Shinko-nee, Hana-nee, if there's nothing else, I'll head to Kamisato-yashiki now and come back for dinner tonight."

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? This table of food is not only to welcome you, Xiao Su Bai, but also for another purpose. Why don't you guess what the other purpose is?"

Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Yae no Miko, Su Bai knew without a doubt that he was there to interrogate him. But Su Bai hadn't done anything wrong lately. Su Bai's bewildered look made Yae no Miko silently think to himself that little Su Bai still needed some guidance.

"It seems you need some hints, Xiao Su Bai."

"Little Su Bai, I heard that a great battle took place in Liyue Harbor not long ago, and even the Vortex Demon God Oser came out. Why didn't you let your older sister go and protect you in such a dangerous situation?"

"Or is it that you, Little Su Bai, don't believe in your sister's abilities?"

As they spoke, Yae no Miko's hand had already touched Su Bai's fox ears. If Su Bai's answer did not satisfy her, then those chubby ears were likely to suffer.

Just as Su Bai was racking his brains for a reason, Hana Sanli gently grasped Su Bai's other fox ear. Her expressive eyes seemed to be questioning Su Bai about why he hadn't summoned her when things were so dangerous.

Feeling the warmth on his ears, Su Bai swallowed and stammered.

"Well, Sister Shen, Sister Hua, please listen to my excuses, no, please listen to my explanation."

"Oh? Tell me about it. If you can't convince me, then I'll have to teach you a lesson."

Chapter 251 'Welcome Reception and Cleansing Ceremony' (2)

"So, you were cultivating in Jueyun Realm when Ausel invaded, and you didn't participate in that battle?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was just getting used to my new power at the time. Sister Shenzi, Sister Hana, look, I have four tails now."

To increase credibility, Su Bai deliberately showed all four tails. Hana Sanli pinched Su Bai's tails, and after confirming the feel, nodded slightly. Judging from this, they shouldn't be tails that Su Bai faked.

"I'm so glad you're safe, Xiao Su. I was so worried when I heard that Lio Sai'er was attacking Liyue Harbor."

Hana Sanri patted her chest, her tone filled with relief. Su Bai chuckled foolishly, silently casting a Bennett-like buff spell on himself. However, before Su Bai could even enjoy his happiness for a few seconds, the pain in his ears instantly brought him back to his senses.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Sister Shenzi, Sister Hua, what are you doing?"

"Hehe, what are you doing? Little Su Bai, you probably don't know this, but Yaedo has a distributor in Liyue. During that great battle, my distributor accidentally captured your 'heroic figure' with a commemorative camera."

"As luck would have it, she thought this photo could be used as a cover for a light novel, so she sent it to me."

The eyes of Yae no Miko gleamed with purple light, and wisps of lightning element spread outward from her body, while Hana Sanri on the other side had already rotated Su Bai's ears 180 degrees.

"Little Su Bai, you're getting bolder and bolder. What, do you think I can't control you now that you're an adult?"

"Or are you trying to test my limits?"

Perhaps afraid of hurting Su Bai, Hana Sanri silently loosened her grip while speaking, but Yae no Miko was clearly not going to let Su Bai off so easily. Feeling the angle of her ear's rotation, Su Bai couldn't understand why those delicate hands had such great strength.

Looks like I need to get my phone out beforehand, otherwise my ears are really going to suffer today. Su Bai thought to himself that the only thing that could get him out of this predicament right now was his phone.

"Sister Shenzi, please be gentle, I even prepared a gift for you."

"Gift?"

Upon hearing about the gift, Yae no Miko subconsciously released her grip, finally freeing Su Bai's ears. Rubbing his slightly reddened fox ears, Su Bai took out two cell phones that he had assembled himself and handed them to Yae no Miko and Hana Sanri. Under the astonished gazes of Hana Sanri and Yae no Miko, Su Bai demonstrated to them how to use the cell phones and their functions.

"Can something like this already exist in the world outside Inazuma? That's amazing."

Hana Sanri tentatively sent a message to Yae Miko, and Yae Miko received it immediately. Hana Sanri found this amazing thing quite novel, and even Yae Miko was very interested in playing with the phone in her hand.

Yae no Miko: 'Hello everyone~'

Hu Tao: 'Oh dear, a newcomer has arrived! Welcome, welcome! Finally, a newcomer! I don't know what's wrong, but Inazuma isn't receiving messages from Liyue and Mondstadt.'

Su Bai: 'This might be due to the thunderstorms outside Inazuma. Where are you guys, Kurumi?'

Hu Tao: 'We're on our way to He Guan. A female novelist asked us to pick something up there. The reward is quite good; I'll treat you to a big meal when I get back.'

Paimon: 'Me too! Me too! I want a big meal too!'

Ying: 'Paimon, stop chatting in the group and hurry up and help me find that samurai.'

Paimon: "Luminous, is it possible that we've taken the wrong path?"

Ying: '!!! Looks like we really did take the wrong turn... It's my first time here in Inazuma, so I'm not very familiar with the area... I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore, I'm going to continue with Ayaka-san's request.'

Ayaka's request? Upon seeing Yingfa's message, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a little strange. What kind of request could Ayaka possibly make that the Kamisato family's final episode couldn't complete?

While Su Bai was pondering, Yae no Miko and Hana Sanri were already having a lively chat with Kurumi. Perhaps due to their similar personalities, Kurumi seemed to get along better with Hana Sanri than with Yae no Miko.

"Um, Sister Shenzi, I'm going tonight..."

"Go away, don't bother me. You don't need to come back for dinner tonight. Just eat at Shenli's house."

Yae no Miko looked down at the various messages on her phone, her curiosity completely piqued. She had never seen anything so interesting in her life. This thing called a phone was truly captivating to the fox, and that little guy named Paimon was really amusing.

Hana Sanri wasn't much better off. Naturally, the lively Hana Sanri was powerless against something so interesting. Ever since Su Bai took out the phone and explained how to use it, Hana Sanri's eyes hadn't left the screen. And judging from her appearance, she seemed to be having a lively chat with her friends in the group.

"Remember to close the door when you leave, Xiao Su Bai~ Senior Hana Sanli and I won't close it."

"No, I haven't finished speaking yet. Hey, Tuanzi, Tuanzi, I haven't finished eating that Tuanzi yet."

Looking at the gate sealed by demonic power, Su Bai, who was pushed out by demonic power, twitched his lips. Now that he has a phone, he doesn't care about his younger brother anymore, huh? He doesn't know if giving the phone to Yae no Miko and Hana Sanri so early is a good thing or a bad thing. But with a phone, his two older sisters should not feel bored.

Inside the courtyard, sensing that Su Bai had already descended the mountain, Yae no Miko finally looked up from her phone. Looking at the several empty wine jars at her feet, Yae no Miko muttered to herself with some worry.

"Little Su Bai, it's not that I'm forcing you to drink, but if you don't work on your drinking capacity, you'll definitely get drunk when you run into that awful woman."

"Ever since I got that wretched woman Alice drunk and she accidentally found out about your existence, that woman has been trying to get revenge on you, Xiao Su Bai."

Kamisato Residence, the ancestral home of the Kamisato family, should normally be free of noise. However, for some reason, the usually quiet Kamisato Residence was suddenly filled with faint roars and barking. This attracted the attention of many Inatsumi residents passing by, who looked curiously into the Kamisato Residence. Some even speculated that this might be a new method for training ninja dogs.

"Taromaru! So it was you who led those dogs to the Kamisato Yashiki, huh? Fine, I, Thomas, have always thought I treated you well, and this is how you betrayed me? Don't run away, you stay right there! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll turn into a dog like Goro!"

"Woof woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"

"You're still trying to argue! Let me tell you, I can understand what you mean by 'woof' now!"

"Kagerou, stop trying to cover for Taromaru! I'm telling you, Su Bai has already returned to Inazuma. I believe you've already caught Su Bai's scent on me, haven't you? If you don't want me to tattle on you to Su Bai, then you'd better hold Taromaru down right now!"

Chapter 252 Dog Repair (1)

In the huge courtyard of the Kamisato-yashiki, Thomas was leaning against the wall, panting heavily. Not far in front of him, Shiba Inu Taro-maru was jumping around taunting Thomas, while the henchmen of Kage-maru around him were also staring intently at Thomas, seemingly mocking him for not even being able to catch a dog.

This infuriated Thomas. "Damn it! Don't let him catch me, or Taro-maru will be in big trouble!" Thomas thought about how he would punish Taro-maru when he caught him. He looked at the lazy-looking Kage-maru not far away and was so angry that his teeth ached. This dog didn't care at all that he had tattled on Su Bai.

"Speaking of which, when did Kageromaru and Taromaru become so close? I remember Taromaru used to dislike Kageromaru."

Thomas glanced at Kagerou and then at Taro. These two training dogs always fought whenever they met before. What could have happened to make their relationship so good?

"Oh, looks like I missed this good show. Thomas, your relationship with Taromaru is still as good as ever."
