Chapter Fifty-Nine: Flower Scattering

As night fell, Su Bai tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He never expected that Yae no Miko, that pink-haired fox, would actually alter the clothes in his wardrobe into a shrine maiden outfit and try to trick him into wearing it.

If he hadn't felt the weight of the clothes in his hand, he probably would have let that pink-haired fox get away with it.

"Oh dear, Little White isn't asleep yet~ What's wrong, can't you fall asleep without your sister's embrace?"

The room door was gently opened, revealing a pair of long, shapely legs. The legs were smooth, fair, slender, and alluring.

"How about I put your head on my lap and sing you a lullaby to lull you to sleep?"

"Sister Shenzi, that was all when we were kids, why are you bringing it up?"

Su Bai turned his head to the side, his fair face slightly flushed. Yae no Miko was talking about things from when he was a child, but he had grown up now. Yae no Miko chuckled softly. It seemed that Xiao Bai was still as easily embarrassed as before.

"You're even shy now~ When you and that little demon fell into the ladies' hot spring when you were little, why weren't you shy then?"

"What? It was because Ito dragged me to the tree branch to see the herring he found. We ended up breaking the branch and falling into the hot spring."

Just thinking about it makes Su Bai's teeth ache. He was completely stunned when he fell in. That bastard Yi Dou actually took advantage of the chaos and ran away, leaving him behind to be 'tortured' by those female demons. If he hadn't been quick-witted and used his clone to escape, he probably would have been stripped naked by those female demons.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Sister Shenzi, how's Sister Hana doing lately?"

"Hana-sanri-senpai, she's been quite idle lately. Since her resurrection, she's been playing cards with Ichizou in the Forest of Guardians every day, leaving Inazuma's administrative affairs to me."

"I'm just a weak and lowly fox, forced to work day and night locked in the shrine by her, boohoo~"

"Heh, it would be strange if I believed your nonsense," Su Bai rolled his eyes. If half of what Yae no Miko said was true, that would be good enough. He didn't believe that the simple-minded Hana Sanri could be a match for Yae no Miko.

"I hope there's been nothing wrong with Sister Hua's health during the two years I was away. I've recently been studying some kind of immortal magic related to the soul, and I think it might be of some help to Sister Hua once I've mastered it."

"Even Shiro, who hates studying the most, has started studying for Hana Sanri-senpai. This friendship is truly enviable."

Whether Yae no Miko was genuinely envious or just saying it casually, she lazily stretched, then used her slender, white fingers to lift Su Bai's chin, her slightly alluring eyes scrutinizing Su Bai's face.

"If I were to become like Hana-san-senpai, would Shiro learn these things for me?"

"Will not."

"With me here, you won't turn into someone like Hana. I will definitely protect you."

Yae no Miko chuckled softly, not refuting Su Bai's words, but gently pulling Su Bai into her arms and softly telling him about the jokes that Hana Sanri had recently made.

The story of Hana Sanri's resurrection begins when Su Bai was wandering around the Forest of Guardians. At the time, Su Bai, who was only fourteen years old, heard that the Forest of Guardians was haunted. Like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, Su Bai took the talisman he had drawn and rushed into the Forest of Guardians.

Instead of catching the ghost, they found a wisp of a soul that called itself 'Fox Palace'. After he told Yae no Miko about this, the old woman, Tianying, went mad and ordered the collection of a large amount of precious materials. In just a few days, she created a doll.

At that time, even the high-grade cinnabar that Su Bai used to draw talismans was forcibly confiscated by the Eightfold Divine Child. Su Bai, unaware of the reason, secretly spoke ill of Ying quite a bit during that period.

But when Su Bai 'accidentally' learned that the kind-hearted Hua Sanli was a combination of the memories and 'filth' of the Fox Palace and could disappear at any time, Su Bai joined the plan to revive Hua Sanli without hesitation.

To prevent this fragile soul from being harmed again, Su Bai even went so far as to pluck all the hairs from his tail and twist them into a rope.

Thanks to the excellent conductivity of Su Bai fox fur, the doll, soul, and memory were cleverly combined through this fox fur rope without any resistance.

However, this also meant that Hana Sanri had to keep the fox fur rope tied around her waist, but this minor flaw was nothing compared to her resurrection.

Perhaps fate was no longer willing to play tricks on Su Bai. The three of them, including Ying, Yae no Miko, and Su Bai, used every means at their disposal to finally allow Kosai-gumi to walk on the land of Inazuma again. However, this time Kosai-gumi did not use the name Kosai-gumi, but continued to use the name Hana-sanri.

"By the way, a month ago, Senior Hana Sanri heard that Ying owed you a royal banquet, so she has been teaching my old friend how to cook at the Pure Land of One Heart. I haven't seen her for a while."

“The last time she came out of the Pure Land of One Heart to buy ingredients, she had a burnt smell on her body. Maybe the Pure Land of One Heart was on fire.”

Yae no Miko chuckled twice, not entirely without a hint of malice. Now her old friend had something to do; Hana Sanri-senpai wasn't someone who gave up so easily.

"Um, I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Now I'm actually looking forward to what that old woman, Ying, will cook for me."

Reminded by Yae no Miko, Su Bai remembered that after Hana Sanri was resurrected, the old woman Kage did indeed mention something like that, but he was too excited at the time and completely forgot about it.

"By the way, Shinko-nee, how is everyone at Inazuma doing lately? Have they encountered any trouble?"

"There is definitely some trouble. After all, the isolation edict and the eye-hunting edict have plunged the entire Inazuma into turmoil. Even Hana-san-senpai couldn't persuade my old friend."

Yae no Miko sighed softly. Inazuma held no less importance in her heart than in Kage. Given Inazuma's current state, she didn't want to go back to Inazuma for the time being.

"Oh, right, that oni kid you used to play with, the one named Ichidou, his God Eye was confiscated."

"What? Ichito's Eye of God has been confiscated?"

Su Bai jumped out of the arms of the Eightfold Divine Child. A person who has lost the Eye of God is no different from a walking corpse, without ideals or pursuits.

"How's Na Dou doing lately? Has anything happened to him? Has he become particularly depressed?"

Su Bai's three questions piqued Yae no Miko's interest in Ichito's demon clan system. In her memory, after Ichito's God Eye was confiscated, his personality seemed to remain unchanged.

Judging from the messages on the message board, this little oni has become even more cheerful after losing his God's Eye. Tsk tsk, wrestling with Kujo Sara on the street, just thinking about it is amusing.

If that little guy, Sara, accepts the challenge, she definitely has to go and watch it live. Perhaps the idea for her next light novel can be found in these two little guys. Hmm, let's call it "The Untold Secret of the Hot-Blooded Idiot and the Cold-Hearted General"—it'll definitely be very appealing.

Chapter Sixty: Daily Life (1)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Yay! The bouncy bomb that can explode three times has been successfully developed!"

Kaiya, who was standing at the door, stopped what he was about to do and knocked. He looked up at the house billowing black smoke, then turned and left. He wasn't going to get involved in this mess anymore, and silently counted down in his head.

Three, two, one.

"Yae no Miko! Klee! You two have blown up the house again???"

Su Bai looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, both covered in dirt, still high-fiving in celebration, and his head started to ache. What kind of karma had he created to let these two get together? From now on, if anyone says that one plus one necessarily equals two, Su Bai felt he could throw that example in their face. The destructive power of this big and small pair combined is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Since Klee moved in with Su Bai, Yae Miko has been especially happy, and even moved Klee's bedding into her room.

At first, Yae no Miko and Klee were playing pretty normal games, like drawing, sculpting clay figures, and origami. But then, for some reason, the two of them started making all sorts of strange bombs.

Things like stuffing slime gel, pepper, or flour into bouncy bombs—but what Su Bai found most unforgettable was a few days ago when Yae no Miko made an itching powder and stuffed it into a bouncy bomb. As a result, the bouncy bomb she made wasn't stable enough and exploded right there at home.

If Su Bai hadn't used his magic to wrap the itching powder and throw it outside in time, he and Keli would probably have been in trouble. However, Su Bai inside the house didn't notice that Kaiya was outside.

Because Klee had been staying at Su Bai's house, Jean was still a little worried about her, so she would send someone to check on Klee every day. Over the past few days, Su Bai had gotten to know quite a few of the core members of the Knights Order.

That day, it happened to be Kaeya's turn to visit Klee. As soon as he knocked on the door, an unknown 'bubble' hit Kaeya's face from inside the house. Then, Su Bai learned that Kaeya's face was not only black, but his whole body was black.

"What am I supposed to say about you two? You're such a grown-up, Shenzi, how come you're even more mischievous than Klee?"

Su Bai rubbed his forehead. He had already forgotten how many times the kitchen had been blown up. Anyway, every time he spent money on repairs, the two of them would blow up again.

"I'm sorry." x2

"I was wrong." x2

"You'll do it again next time." x2

Su Bai almost fainted from exhaustion. The Mora he got from the nun a few days ago was completely gone. In just a few days, 20,000 Mora had been spent. The two of them, the older and the younger, always said the same three sentences, and in the end, all the Mora was spent on them.

When they first moved in, Keli would at least say something like "I won't do it again" to calm Su Bai down. But now, after playing with Yae no Miko for a few days, she doesn't even bother to fool him anymore.

Su Bai glanced around, picked up a relatively intact spatula, and prepared to teach the two a lesson. Klee and Yae no Miko exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes, and then slipped away.

"You two, stop right there! You're trying to run, aren't you?"

"Watch us make our successful escape."

Watching the two flee in haste, Su Bai used wind element to lift the flour and water from the vat that had fallen to the ground, mixed them in mid-air, and then gathered the clump of dough onto the spatula.

"In ancient times, Thor slew a wicked serpent with a single stroke; now, I, Su Bai, have caught two naughty kids with a single shovel. Take this—a shovel strike of unimaginable force!"

The batter splattered onto Klee and Yae no Miko's escape route with a thud, the slippery, sticky batter blocking their escape path.

"Sister Divine Child, what should we do now?"

"Little Bai, Little Bai, please forgive me, please forgive me~"

When Yae no Miko saw that she couldn't escape, she turned around, grabbed Su Bai's arm, and started shaking it. Her sweet, coquettish voice gave Su Bai goosebumps.

Klee was taken aback and remembered the second plan that Yae no Miko had told her. She ran over and started to act cute, just like Yae no Miko.

Having watched Su Bai grow up, Yae no Miko has a firm grasp on Su Bai's personality of being swayed by gentleness but not by force. Back when she and Klee first blew up the kitchen, she had prepared an escape plan and a plan to act cute, and she even personally taught Klee how to act cute.

Klee, being a studious child, naturally learned quickly. Although Klee didn't use it often, a certain traveler was so charmed by Klee's move that he almost lost his bearings.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you off this time, but you'd better watch out next time. The rest of your Mora this month will probably have to be used up on house repairs, and you might not even have enough Mora for food tomorrow."

Su Bai gave a bitter smile. He, a dignified immortal, was now unable to even afford food. If word got out, he would probably be laughed to death.

“Um, Brother Su Bai, Ke Li, Ke Li also has some pocket money. Ke Li can give her pocket money to Brother Su Bai.”

Keli knew she had made a mistake. When she heard that Su Bai wouldn't be able to eat Mora tomorrow because of her, she was so anxious that she almost cried. She didn't want her good brother to go hungry.

"Brother Su Bai, let's go fry some fish. Ke Li will grill the fish for you later. Ke Li doesn't want you to go hungry."

"Alright, alright, your brother Su Bai is a dignified immortal, how could he possibly starve himself?"

Su Bai took out various fabrics, threads, and paints he had bought a few days ago from the room. Yae no Miko looked at the items in Su Bai's hands and asked uncertainly...

"Xiaobai, you want to make clothes to sell? How do you know my sewing skills are unparalleled in Inazuma?"

Su Bai rolled his eyes at Yae no Miko. When his clothes were accidentally torn, Yae no Miko offered to mend them for him. But when he went to see her the next day, his clothes had been transformed into a beggar's outfit, a style that was quite avant-garde.

"Let's skip the clothes and make something simpler instead. I remember you made some pretty good amulets, Sister Shenzi. Can we use these materials to make an amulet?"

"The amulets are fine, but can those little gadgets really earn Mora? I remember they were given away for free in Inazuma, right? And regular amulets don't really do anything."

Su Bai shook his head. He knew that if they were just selling ordinary protective charms, they wouldn't be able to fetch a high price. However, if he drew a simple defensive talisman on the protective charm, then it would become a celestial object.

Su Bai explained his plan to Yae no Miko, who nodded slightly, agreeing that this would indeed fetch a good price.

Su Bai handed some watercolor pens to Keli, asking her to draw on the amulets made by Yae no Miko. Upon hearing that drawing on them would bring good luck to others, Keli picked up the pens and began drawing her best friend, Dudu Ke.

Chapter Sixty-One: Daily Life (2)

Mondstadt seemed somewhat unnatural this morning compared to usual. People wore obvious signs of fatigue, and many were yawning as they went about their work absentmindedly. It seemed that Dvalin's wailing last night had created a strong sense of tension among the residents of Mondstadt.

Dangdang~

Su Bai, still asleep, was awakened by a knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes and opened the door somewhat groggily. Amber, wearing a rabbit ear hair clip, was standing in the doorway.
