"Um, Brother Su Bai, this is, this is, this is what Mr. Trash Can gave him because he wanted to drink milk. Klee didn't throw the milk away."

"Looks like it's time to find someone to keep an eye on Klee."

Su Bai took out a white protective charm, and the immortal power that had been restored in his body flowed into the charm. What he was about to use was not an immortal technique, but a proper secret technique of the Inazuma Fox Clan.

With a blinding flash of light, Su Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead. It had been a long time since he had used this spell, and his skills were almost rusty, but thankfully it worked.

"Xiao Bai, you haven't looked for your sister for over two years. Why did you suddenly think of me today?"

A slightly resentful voice came from the light. Su Bai smiled awkwardly. Since leaving Daoqie, he had been studying immortal arts and hadn't really contacted her much. As if trying to excuse Su Bai, the figure that emerged from the light sighed.

"Sigh, being busy is good. I'm getting old and my looks are fading, so it's normal for Xiaobai to like spending time with young girls."

Chapter 57: The Eighth Level Son of God

Inside Klee's house, Klee stared blankly at the woman who walked out of the light. She had never seen such a beautiful older sister dressed like that before.

This beautiful woman has long, smooth pink hair tied up at the ends. Her fox ears, symbolizing her identity as a shrine maiden, are always adorned with earrings inlaid with purple gems, and her right earring is inlaid with a lightning-attribute divine eye.

Wearing a shrine maiden outfit with red and white as the main colors, the same color furisode is separated from the top and is fixed to the upper arm as sleeves. A wide black waist knot is tied at the back of the waist, the legs are exposed, and a pair of wooden clogs are worn on the feet. This outfit, which is out of place in Mondstadt, makes Klee feel very novel.

"It's been a long time, Sister Shenzi. How have you been lately?"

Su Bai gently hugged the older sister who had taken care of him for ten years. Yae no Miko smiled slightly and whispered a fragrant breath into Su Bai's ear.

"Let's not talk about whether I'm doing well or not. Xiaobai, your daughter is so grown up and you've never mentioned her to me?"

"That little girl from the Kamisato family often comes to Narukami Shrine to daydream under the sacred cherry tree whenever she has nothing to do."

"If she finds out, she'll probably be heartbroken instantly. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened then."

Su Bai blushed and immediately pushed Yae no Miko out of her arms. What was all this about? She had been so excited just now. Sure enough, Miko-jie's scum was ingrained in her bones. All these years, even though Sister Hua had been in charge of her, she had not only not restrained herself, but had become even worse.

"Waaaaah, Xiaobai really has forgotten her old love as soon as she found a new one~ But I don't blame you. I will pray for you under the cherry blossom tree every day and wish you happiness."

Yae no Miko covered her face with her sleeve and kept sobbing. Klee tilted her head, not understanding why this beautiful older sister was crying. Had Su Bai bullied her? But Su Bai was a good person.

"Alright, alright, Sister Shenzi, stop making empty promises. From now on, we'll get together at least once a year, okay?"

"Waaaah, at least five times."

Good heavens, I've only ever heard of lions asking for money before, but I've seen a fox asking for money today. Su Bai rubbed his temples. He was starting to regret bringing the Eightfold Divine Child over. He should have asked Sister Hua instead, but it was too late now.

He had spent ten years with Yae no Miko, and he knew a bit about Yae no Miko's tricks. Looking at Yae no Miko's pitiful, abandoned appearance, Su Bai once again gave in. He knew that Yae no Miko was faking it, but he just couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.

“Three times, Shinji-nee. As the chief priest of Narukami Shrine, you're never at the shrine. That old woman, Kage, will probably be angry.”

"make a deal."

Yae no Miko lowered her sleeves, a sly glint in her eyes. Her smug expression showed no sign of being wronged, leaving Klee completely stunned.

"By the way, Little White, you still haven't told me if this little elf is your daughter."

Yae no Miko squatted down and pinched Klee's pointed little ears. Klee knew that the beautiful older sister in front of her was Su Bai's friend, and she smiled back at Yae no Miko.

Klee's adorable appearance instantly won over Yae no Miko, who took a liking to the cute little girl. Seeing that the two, one big and one small, got along quite well, Su Bai then mentioned Klee to Yae no Miko.

“Sister Shenzi, I am a fox and Klee is an elf. How could we possibly be related by blood?”

"Hmm, that makes some sense, but why does Klee look so familiar to me?"

Yae no Miko straightened the little red hat on Klee's head. A figure from her memory gradually overlapped with Klee's. Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes. She probably knew whose child this little one was.

"Little one, is your mother's name Alice?"

"Hey? Pretty lady, do you know Claire's mother?"

As expected, Yae no Miko was secretly delighted. She never expected that Klee would be Alice's daughter. Now she would have to pay even more attention to her. She really wanted to see that interesting woman, Alice, again.

"It's like this, Sister Divine Child. Recently, a pervert has appeared in Mondstadt. He seems to be specifically stalking children."

"After all, I'm a guy, and there are some things that I can't always be by Klee's side with. So until the pervert is caught, I'm asking you to take care of Klee."

Before Yae no Miko could cause any trouble, Su Bai immediately explained the purpose of his visit. Yae no Miko nodded. Even if Su Bai hadn't said that, given her status as Iris's daughter, Yae no Miko would have taken good care of Klee while she was in Mondstadt.

"Well then, the pleasant vacation begins. I've heard that the stacked towers in Mondstadt taste great, so I'll have to try them this time."

Since Hana-san-ri's resurrection, Yae no Miko has had a much easier time. She often 'accidentally' leaves a pile of unfinished government affairs in front of Kotsai-gumi and then makes various excuses to slip away at lightning speed. Kotsai-gumi, who is devoted to Inazuma, has often taken care of government affairs for Yae no Miko because he can't find her.

"Okay, then you guys can wait for me at my house. I'll go buy you some food."

“Mr. Trash Can drank some of Klee’s milk, so I’ll go buy some more for Klee.”

These sudden words struck Klee like a bolt from the blue. Poor little Klee, still a child, had already experienced the highs and lows of life.

Having made up their minds, the group split into two groups. Su Bai went to buy food and some daily necessities, while Ke Li took Yae Miko to Su Bai's house to wait for him to come home.

Half an hour later, Su Bai, having bought everything, had just pushed open his front door when Yae no Miko came to greet him. Not knowing what evil scheme Yae no Miko was up to this time, Su Bai cautiously took a step back. Other children's childhood memories were called childhood, but his childhood memories were simply a record of his blood and tears being tricked by Yae no Miko.

"Little White, you're back! Do you want to take a bath? Or do you want to eat me first?"

"I'll eat you first."

"Dream on~ I just tidied up your room and I'm exhausted. Hurry up and take out the stack of tallies."

The Eightfold Divine Child gave Su Bai a hundred stares. Other men might have been drooling and their blood boiling at the sight of that alluring look, but Su Bai, long since immune to such things, only felt an ominous aura enveloping his heart.

After stacking the pile high on the table, Su Bai hurriedly pushed open his bedroom door, only to be stunned by what he saw. His bed was completely clean, with just a bare bed board remaining.

"Sister Shenzi, you can take my bed, but why didn't you leave me my pillow?"

"Oh dear, I'm just doing a good deed, no need to thank me~"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sending a Coward

She went out to buy lunch, and not only did she lose her bed, she actually wanted him to thank her? Su Bai rolled his eyes at Yae no Miko, wondering what mischief this pink-haired fox was up to now.

"What? You don't believe your sister?"

"Sister Shenzi, you took my blanket and I should thank you?"

Su Bai put the milk and tea he had just bought in a shady place. When Ke Li saw that Su Bai had bought milk again, her little mouth involuntarily pouted. When Yae no Miko saw that Su Bai did not want to talk to her, she smiled and moved closer to Su Bai.

"You really have to thank your sister this time. Come with me."

Yae no Miko grabbed Su Bai's hand and dragged him to Ying's room. Su Bai, confused, was stunned. What did this have to do with Ying?

Yae no Miko didn't keep her in suspense any longer. She pushed open the door and gestured for Su Bai to come in and take a look. When Su Bai went in, he found that his pillow had actually been placed on Ying's bed by Yae no Miko.

"I found this girl's room when I was cleaning the house earlier. How come they had a little argument and are now sleeping separately?"

"You need to be tolerant and understanding of each other."

Yae no Miko was earnestly trying to persuade Su Bai, but Su Bai was completely baffled by Yae no Miko's haphazard matchmaking. What was all this about?

“Sister Shenzi, she’s just a friend of mine. I have no relation to her. I just gave her a place to sleep because I felt sorry for her.”

"Don't try to matchmake us up, it's not even close to happening yet."

Su Bai hugged his pillow to his chest. Seeing that Su Bai was about to take the pillow away, Yae no Miko sighed with regret. It would be so interesting if the little guy living in this room came back at this time. What a pity.

"Hey? Who are you looking for, strange lady?"

Keli's curious voice rang out from downstairs. Su Bai's expression changed, and he didn't care about the pillow anymore. He rushed to the stairs, grabbed the handrail, and jumped downstairs in a side somersault.

I hope nothing bad happens to Keli. I shouldn't have given up looking for the person spying on him. That's right, Su Bai, who went shopping earlier, also felt the spying that Diona mentioned. Moreover, the spying was particularly intense, making Su Bai feel uncomfortable all over. However, that guy was too good at hiding, and Su Bai couldn't find him at all.

"You scoundrel, I couldn't find you earlier, and now you dare to come to my house to kidnap someone? You've got some nerve."

Ying was startled by Su Bai's angry roar, and Paimon cowered behind Ying. What was going on? Kidnapping someone? Why couldn't they understand a word Su Bai was saying?

"Ying? How could it be you?"

"Phew, thank goodness it's you."

Realizing it was a misunderstanding, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, as long as Keli was alright. Ying and Paimon were completely confused; these words sounded really awkward to them.

Su Bai realized he had been a bit too hasty, so he gestured for Ying and Paimon to sit down. Under their questioning gazes, Su Bai told them about the pervert Diona had recently encountered and the spying he had sensed earlier.

"How could there be such a person? It's really too abnormal. Ying, let's go tell Commander Qin right away, otherwise there might really be a problem."

Paimon, bursting with a sense of justice, was furious after hearing Su Bai's story. Ying and Su Bai had similar reactions when they first heard the news; they were also somewhat incredulous at their ears.

"Diona, as a natural hunter, could not possibly be wrong. Even if Diona was wrong, I could not have been wrong about that spying I just witnessed."

Su Bai was certain that he hadn't misjudged the spying he had just sensed. He was even certain that the person spying on him was very likely the same person who had been following Diona.

"Paimon, you should also be careful lately. You look like a little kid with your small frame."

"Eh? Then I think I'll just stay home for now. It's too dangerous outside."

Paimon, who had been quite imposing, immediately became dejected after hearing that she might also become a target of the pervert, and refused to go out with Ying no matter what.

"Paimon, let's set off immediately. We must let Commander Jean know about this."

"Hey? Paimon, what are you doing hiding behind Su Bai? Let's get going."

"Alright, alright, Ying, don't make things difficult for Paimon. Even if Jean assigns the task, those Favonius Knights will probably just treat it as a joke."

Paimon nodded behind Su Bai, her hands gripping Su Bai's clothes tightly. Paimon looked as if Ying wanted to devour her.

Paimon peeked out from behind Su Bai and saw Ying's helpless expression. The timid Paimon then spoke in a conciliatory tone.

"Ying, why don't you go out and take on some cases while I stay home?"

"Don't worry, Ying, I'll pray for you while I'm home. Just prepare for me Sweet Flower Chicken, Heaps, Buttered Fish, Moon Pie, Teyvat Eggs, or Firefire Meat Sauce Noodles, Mondstadt Potato Pancakes..."

Originally, Ying was somewhat tempted by Paimon's suggestion to stay home, thinking of Paimon's best interests. However, after Paimon announced the names of the dishes, Ying's face darkened. Good grief, does this emergency food store think it's some kind of ancestor? She has never even tried some of these dishes before, yet it bought them for this emergency food store.

"Su Bai, you don't need to protect Paimon anymore. I will protect her."

Ying reached out and grabbed Paimon from behind Su Bai. Seeing that he had fallen into Ying's clutches, Paimon looked at Su Bai for help. Su Bai shrugged. This was all Paimon's own doing, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Su Bai, help me! Help me... Ugh... Ugh..."

Ying picked up a pile of food from the table and stuffed it into Paimon's mouth. After skillfully tucking Paimon under her arm, Ying smiled and said goodbye to Su Bai. Judging from the direction she left, she was probably going to the Knights.

"Poor little Paimon, have I forgotten someone?"

"Oh no, Sister Shenzi has been silent for so long, she must be upstairs doing something again."
