"Murakami, what are you doing..."

"Tanaka, you didn't have nightmares too, did you?"

The two, who had been neighbors for over twenty years, went outside to light a cigarette and calm down, only to find that their neighbor, Tanaka Murakami, had also come out.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing their shock. It was no wonder they were afraid; any Inatsume person would be nervous if such a bizarre event happened to them, since belief in ghosts and spirits was quite prevalent in Inatsume, and many people believed in such things.

Just as Murakami and Tanaka were smoking in frustration, the light at Chiki's house, which lived in front of them, came on. Before they had finished their cigarettes, Chiki, dressed unsteadily and clutching her back, came out of her house.

"Murakami, Tanaka, you're smoking too? I can borrow a light. I just had a nightmare that almost scared me to death."

"Didn't Brother Qian Shu say he was incredibly brave? How come he was woken up by fright?"

Murakami took out two small pieces of flint and steel and lit Chiki's cigarette. Chiki took a deep drag, exhaled a smoke ring, and then slowly said, clutching her waist.

"I wasn't woken up by the fright, but luckily she was. She was probably so scared that she kicked me out of bed."

"I just calmed her down and was about to go out for a smoke to get some fresh air when I realized how strong Xing was. It hurts so much. I need to go to the doctor tomorrow to get my kidney checked out."

Chiki rubbed Zaijiao's lower back, while Tanaka and Murakami were somewhat pleased, since their wives didn't have that much strength. Seeing Murakami and Tanaka smiling, Chiki said irritably.

"You two, don't you know how to care about your big brother?"

"Speaking of which, Tanaka, Murakami, do you think that spell from the dream really works? We can't sleep anyway, so why don't we try chanting it again?"

"A spell??"

Chiki's words left Tanaka and Murakami somewhat bewildered. They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion. Seeing that Tanaka and Murakami were unaware of the incantation, Chiki burst into laughter.

"You two didn't wake up in fright the moment that terrifying ghost appeared, did you?"

Seeing that Murakami and Tanaka's faces were red, Chiki didn't press the issue any further. The three of them were old neighbors, so a joke was fine, but going too far would be inappropriate. Chiki didn't keep them in suspense any longer.

"I hereby declare to Bai Chen the reason for suppressing the soul, and request permission to perform this prayer, leading the way home with lamplight. I am filled with awe and reverence for divine power."

"It's strange, really. I'm not usually this good at remembering this incantation. It's really amazing."

"Forget about all that. Tanaka, Murakami, it's said that good things happen when you chant this spell. Do you want to try it together? Anyway, we can't sleep for a while."

Chiki's words tempted Tanaka and Murakami. The three of them discussed it and decided that since they couldn't sleep anyway, they might as well give it a try. If something good happened, that would be a great deal. With that in mind, the three of them brought their families to the yard and began to silently chant.

"I hereby declare to Bai Chen the reason for suppressing the soul, and request permission to perform this prayer, leading the way home with lamplight. I am filled with awe and reverence for divine power."

There were many, many more Inatsumi people who shared the same thoughts as Chiki and the other two. In an instant, countless Inatsumi people appeared outside the house, silently reciting the incantation in their hearts.

The unseen power slowly surged toward Narukami Shrine, causing the remnant souls gathered there to float into the air. If it weren't for Hana Sanri's presence, these remnant souls would probably have already started dancing.

"I wonder what that little rascal, the Divine Child, did to get so many people chanting incantations in such a short time."

Hana Sanri looked towards Inatsume Castle, her eyes filled with confusion. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen such a scene in all her years of life. Although she didn't know how Yae no Miko had managed it, she was grateful to Yae no Miko for allowing her old friends to experience the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons once again.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I never imagined that you, Divine Child, could actually do it in such a short time."

"It seems that I was right when I thought you were the smartest one in our fox clan back then."

Yulezhai, who also felt that power, was surprised but more relieved. Now he was completely at ease. Perhaps the fox clan could really continue to prosper under the hands of the Eightfold Divine Child.

Chapter 355 The Continuing Banquet (1)

"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! I never thought I would actually see the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons from the Inazuma Legend."

In the courtyard of the Kamisato residence, Ayato Kamisato held a sake cup and looked towards the sky in the direction of Narukami Taisha. He didn't know when, but the sky above Narukami Taisha had been covered by a black mist. If Yae no Miko hadn't told them in advance that this was the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Ayato Kamisato would probably have already gathered people to investigate the situation at Narukami Taisha.

"If it weren't for Yae-no-miya, I probably wouldn't have thought that the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in Inazuma was real. In our Kamisato family's records, such a scene was only mentioned a few times."

Having read through all the ancient books of the Kamisato family, Ayaka Kamisato was now somewhat moved. Things she had thought were just stories had actually happened before her eyes. Could the other stories recorded in the Kamisato family's ancient books also be real?

Thinking about this, Linghua suddenly felt fortunate that she lived in this peaceful and safe era. If she had lived in that era full of monsters, perhaps she would never have met this boy who made her heart flutter.

"Ayaka, what's wrong? Were you scared by the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?"

"Don't worry, even though my immortal power is exhausted, I can still protect you. This Eye of God on my waist is not just for show."

Realizing that Linghua was holding his arm tightly, Su Bai, whose face was pale from exhaustion of his immortal power, gritted his teeth and straightened his back. If it weren't for his legs occasionally trembling, which made him a little unsteady, Linghua might not have noticed anything.

"Hehe, little Su Bai, why don't you go to your sister's place tomorrow? I'll find you something to nourish your body. After all, it won't be convenient for your sister to send you anything once you're at Li Yue's."

"Sister Shenzi, I might have believed you if you hadn't turned up at the corners of your mouth. Besides, isn't my current state all thanks to you? You made me draw hundreds of illusion talismans in half an hour. If I hadn't become stronger, I would have turned into a dried-up fox."

Seeing Yae no Miko teasing him with a smile, Su Bai gritted his teeth and retorted to Yae no Miko, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I originally thought that nothing would happen to me on this trip to Inazuma, but now, they've completely drained me, the fox! It's unbelievable."

"Yae-no-miya, stop bullying Su Bai."

"Oh, little Linghua, you're already speaking up for your husband before you're even married. Who knows how you'll protect little Su Bai after you're married?"

"Come here, let me tell you something, this man..."

When Ayaka saw Yae no Miko teasing Su Bai, she was unhappy and blurted out what was on her mind. As a result, Yae no Miko stopped teasing Su Bai and instead pulled Ayaka aside, shifting the focus of her attention to Ayaka.

Ayaka, who was already shy, blushed deeply after Yae no Miko's so-called lecture. It was hard to tell whether she was embarrassed, fantasizing based on Yae no Miko's words, or both. In any case, after returning to Su Bai's side from Yae no Miko's side, she buried her head in Su Bai's arms and refused to come out.

Seeing Ayaka's shy demeanor, the first person to lose his temper was actually her older brother, Ayato Kamisato. Perhaps it had been a long time since he had seen his younger sister in such a girlish manner, and Ayato Kamisato couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With Ayato Kamisato's laughter, the entire Kamisato residence was instantly filled with good-natured laughter. In fact, everyone in the Kamisato residence had been holding back their laughter, but Ayato Kamisato's laughter was like flipping a switch, and even Zhongli's lips curled up slightly.

However, apart from Yae no Miko, no one noticed that in a shadowy spot, Kujo Sara clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Clearly, I was here first."

"Whether it's because we played together when we were kids or because I'm helping Su Bai now, I was here first. Why, why?"

"Young lady, isn't this little Sara? It seems little Sara has encountered a problem. Do you need me, the palace priest, to help you solve it?"

"Yaegouji!?"

Kujo Sara was startled and blushed slightly. Had Yae no Kamiji overheard her words? This was incredibly embarrassing. As if sensing Kujo Sara's thoughts, Yae no Kamiji leaned close to Kujo Sara's ear and whispered something.

"Little Saluo, I've watched you grow up, so I can see right through you. Tomorrow afternoon, Xiao Subai is leaving Daoqi, and tonight is the last chance. So, do you need me to give you a hand?"

"I.."

At first, Kujo Sara wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the words of refusal just wouldn't come out. So, in Yae no Miko's slightly narrowed fox eyes, Kujo Sara muttered something in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Yae no Kami."

"Don't worry, don't worry, with me here, little Sara, you'll definitely get what you want."

As if thinking of something interesting, Yae no Miko's fox-like eyes kept darting between Su Bai and Kujo Sara. Su Bai, who was holding Ayaka, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was watching him. But when he saw Wendy and Zhongli, Su Bai felt relieved. He didn't think anyone could harm him in front of a sage and a wind god.

Chapter 356 The Continuing Banquet (2)

"Hey Wendy, why do you keep asking Su Bai to drink? Let me tell you, if anything happens to any of my outstanding employees, I'll let you experience our Rebirth Hall's special package."

After Wendy played a piece, the slightly sad atmosphere of parting was instantly swept away. Just then, Ichito also woke up. With Ichito, this mischievous devil who always finds fun, around, the banquet became lively again.

Because of Wendy's deceptive appearance and excellent piano skills, even though Wendy looks like he is still underage, Ayato Kamisato doesn't restrain Wendy too much. After all, this boy named Wendy was born in Mondstadt, a country that loves to drink, and Ayato Kamisato isn't worried that Wendy will cause him any problems.

Because Thomas was a Mondstadt native, Ayato Kamisato had read some books about Mondstadt before. While the Gunnhilds could say the word "Mondstadt" before they could call their mothers, most Mondstadt natives were already tasting alcohol before they even learned how to cook.

Wendy, who hadn't had such good wine in a long time, let loose and started drinking. He was originally drinking with Zhongli, but because Ruo Tuo's eyes were too fierce, Wendy could only leave Zhongli's side and go to Su Bai after drinking a few cups with him.

Wendy, who had taken Ying's place, accepted Ying's death stare with his thick skin and then started drinking with Su Bai, one cup after another.

Su Bai didn't initially intend to drink too much, but Wendy kept downing one glass after another, which led to what Hu Tao, the hall master, just said.

Seeing that Su Bai was already drunk, Wendy chuckled. Since he couldn't get the old man drunk, he would get the immortals under the old man drunk. Anyway, they were all friends. You, the Dragon King, can't say anything if I drink with my friends, right?

But as it turned out, Wendy was wrong, and very wrong. Ruoduo, who had always regarded Su Bai as his little brother, saw that his little brother had been drunk by Wendy in no time. Ruoduo clenched his little fists, grabbed Wendy's clothes, and tried to drag Wendy out.

"Help! Help! My friends, don't just stand by and watch! I'm about to get a beating! Can you really bear to see a defenseless bard get beaten up?"

"Can't even kill a chicken? Brother Wendy, you must be joking. How could that little girl, who's as tall as a raccoon, possibly beat you up? I think you should just go out with that little girl and see what's going on."

Ichito, unaware of Rota's true identity, saw Wendy being dragged away by Rota's clothes. Ichito indicated that he didn't take it to heart, perhaps having forgotten that this little girl had beaten him up at the festival before.

No one responded to Wendy's plea for help. Those who didn't know the situation simply thought Wendy was joking, while the few who did were watching with great interest as everything unfolded before them.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts! Big sister, be gentle, be gentle! Hey, hey, hey, my face, don't hit my face!"

Hearing the screams coming from outside the Kamisamashiki, Abedo silently covered Klee's pointed elf ears. Klee looked at Abedo in confusion, and Abedo simply shook his head gently, indicating that children shouldn't know so much.

Hearing Wendy's screams, Zhongli calmly took a sip of tea. The retired Zhongli thought to himself that since he was no longer the Rock King Emperor, what business was it of his if the Rock King Emperor's subordinate beat someone up? If he had the guts, he should go find the Rock King Emperor to deal with it.

Yae no Miko glanced at Zhongli, who was drinking tea to the side. She wouldn't guess what the God of War was thinking, after all, she had heard of the legend of this God of War. If there was nothing else, Yae no Miko didn't want to provoke this big shot.

"Hiss, I feel like Wendy's voice is a bit off. It sounds like he's screaming in agony."

"Boss, is it possible that Wendy is just getting beaten up? Have you forgotten that little girl beat you up once too?"

"Beat me up, wait, now that you mention it, I think I remember..."

When Kuki Shinobu mentioned it, Ichito instantly remembered that terrifying figure. He hadn't looked closely at the little guy earlier, but he never expected it to be that little girl with superhuman strength.

"Alright, alright, Yidou, don't go and make things worse. Little Sister Zhongtuo knows what she's doing; at most, she'll just teach Wendy a lesson."

Despite Kurumi's persuasion, Ichito is determined to save his Wendy brothers. As for the solution, perhaps a certain bard with panda eyes will tell everyone the answer.

"Su Bai, Su Bai."

"It seems Su Bai is really drunk. Sigh, I'll just carry him back then."

Ying nudged Su Bai, but when she found that Su Bai didn't react at all, she didn't forget what Su Bai had asked her to do earlier. She lifted Su Bai's arm and tried to carry him on her back.

"Um, Ying, Su Bai is drunk today. Let him stay at the Kamisato House. I'll take care of him."

Seeing that Ying was about to carry Su Bai away, Ayaka Kamisato became a little anxious. She had even prepared a double bed. If Ying took Su Bai away, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

"Well... Su Bai asked me to carry him back..."

Seeing that Ayaka had stopped her, Ying hesitated. Although Ayaka was now with Su Bai, she should complete the task since she had accepted it.

"Alright, alright, you two little ones, stop arguing. Put Xiao Su Bai down, and I, the Miyako, will take him back to Narukami Shrine. That way, you two won't have to worry about it anymore. I'll talk to Xiao Su Bai myself when he wakes up."

Chapter 357 Kujo Sara's Actions

"Ouch, my head hurts so much. I'd rather die than drink with Wendy again. Drinking with other people costs money, but drinking with Wendy is like asking for trouble."

Rubbing his head, which ached from a hangover, Su Bai slowly opened his eyes. The sight of pure white made him freeze on the bed, and he even unconsciously stopped rubbing his head.

"What, haven't you had enough yet? If you can stay in Inazuma, then you can keep watching."

Kujo Sara's cool voice reached Su Bai's ears. Looking at Kujo Sara, who was putting on her clothes in front of him without any hesitation, Su Bai's mind went blank for a moment.
