The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

But this little guy, he really hasn't changed his habit of speaking his mind...

However, no one has expressed any dissatisfaction with Paimon's simple and straightforward approach so far.

"Hehehe. Just tell me what you want then, even if..." Yae no Miko bent down and whispered in Hotaru's ear, "You can have me too~"

After she finished speaking, she playfully blew on Ying's ear.

The warm breath was so gentle that it sent a chill down my spine.

"Ugh!" Ying shuddered, then hurriedly covered her ears, looking at Yae no Miko with some panic.

She was somewhat overwhelmed by the foxy older sister's teasing.

"Hehehe, well... I wish us a pleasant cooperation. And you, Kiana, I actually have some things I'd like to ask you for a favor."

As Yae no Miko spoke, she extended her hand.

Seeing this, Ying also extended her hand, and the two waved lightly, which was considered as reaching a certain consensus.

After achieving her original goal, Yae no Miko turned her attention to Kiana.

Upon hearing that Yae no Miko had a request, Kiana's face showed surprise before returning to calm.

She nodded slowly, then extended her hand to shake hands with Yae no Miko, not forgetting to ask:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hehe, well... we can talk about that in more detail when we have time, but for now..."

Yae no Miko glanced at the sun outside, then urged everyone to set off as if worried that time would slip away too easily.

"It's getting dark, and you need to get some exercise during this time."

"exercise?"

Although she didn't know what kind of training Yae no Miko was talking about, Ying didn't hesitate much because she had promised her before. She immediately set off and followed Yae no Miko to a quiet meadow at the foot of Mount Kage.

After successfully arriving here, Yae no Miko briefly explained the so-called training, and finally introduced the simple-looking but powerful special device to Ying, Paimon and Kiana.

"Anti-Thor Special Training?"

"Yes, that's right, anti-Thor training. Only by recalling the events of that day can you possibly understand the Shadow's techniques."

"This device..."

Looking at that simple, unadorned special device whose function and operating principle were unclear, Ying and Paimon's faces showed increasing doubt.

"Go ahead, it's alright. Just be careful."

Kiana coughed, and then, as if to comfort her or to dismiss her, handed the two items to the device.

And with the start of the anti-Thor special training...

"Wow!"

"what!"

"Ugh, damn it!"

Ying's angry roar echoed across the grassland as the sky gradually darkened.

In the distance, Kiana and Yae no Miko watched silently as she was tortured by the special training device, but neither of them went forward to offer any comfort or guidance.

This scene left Yae no Miko somewhat puzzled, as she had expected Kiana to intervene.

"Don't you feel bad for me?"

"This was Ying's own choice. Although I'm a little uncomfortable, I won't say anything. But Yae...didn't you say you wanted my help?"

Kiana slowly turned her head, staring into the fox's beautiful eyes, and asked:

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

Song of Flames and Lightning (Genshin Impact Inazuma Main Story): Chapter 86 Should I Sleep with Kiana?

"Hehehe," Yae no Miko smiled and glanced at Kiana with a flirtatious look, even her casual glance revealed a hint of seduction, "I think only you can help with this matter, even she... can't."

As she spoke, Yae no Miko turned her gaze to Ying, who was being tortured by special training, and shook her head helplessly.

Kiana was filled with curiosity about that meaningful look.

What kind of huge favor could it be that I have to do it myself, and that even Yinglai couldn't possibly do it?

"Huh? Is that so? Then, what do you need my help with?"

Kiana asked, puzzled.

"Ahem, do you still remember Ying?"

"Of course I remember. What happened to her?"

"Hmm..." Yae no Miko pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "I thought you had forgotten about this defeated opponent, but I didn't expect you to still remember her?"

"It hasn't been that long, how could I possibly forget?"

Despite the fact that Yingxi lost to her in that duel, Kiana will not easily forget it.

Moreover, as the Thunder General who commands Inazuma and the God of Thunder who is about to wage war against the rebels, her existence is of paramount importance.

Even if I'm confused, I can't possibly forget her so easily, right?

"Yae, what exactly do you want to say..." Kiana leaned forward, trying to figure out what this fox wanted her to do.

Her sudden approach instantly reminded Yae no Miko of the fear of being dominated, so she immediately retreated and covered her forehead.

"Don't overthink it, I just hope you can give Ying a chance."

"What opportunity?"

"The chance to win the duel," Yae no Miko crossed her arms and stared at Kiana with a resentful look, "After all, some people have just arrived in a country and already dealt with the monarch of that country. You've really opened my eyes."

"Huh? Is that so... I just hoped she could come out of the Pure Land of One Heart and take a look, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"There's no point in saying anything more now. In short, I hope you can accept the next match."

Yae no Miko did not ask Kiana to fake a defeat, but only hoped that she could give her a chance.

The reason she stopped there was mainly because she knew that the Shadow's martial arts would not tolerate deliberately holding back.

Defeating a strong opponent gives her a sense of satisfaction in proving herself, but what if she knew her opponent had deliberately lost...?

This sense of satisfaction can turn into frustration, anger at being teased, or even a child's sulking.

Come to think of it, even though he's lived for so long, this serious martial artist can still act like a child at times.

But that's not wrong either, anyway, her...

Although Yae no Miko is younger than Kage in terms of seniority, in her eyes this god, who is revered as the Shogun by the Inazuma people, is actually like an innocent and ignorant little sister, easy to fool and deceive.

Of course, once her ideas went wrong, her straightforwardness as a martial artist began to have a negative effect...

"Well, anyway, I hope you can have another match with her, but let's skip the kind of fight like last time. I'm worried that the aftershocks of your battle will destroy my Naru-shrine."

"Huh? Well, okay, last time it was because I hadn't thought it through properly, plus things happened so suddenly."

Seeing that Kiana did not display the arrogance and barbarity unique to powerful beings or even gods that he had imagined, Yae no Miko felt very novel.

She couldn't help but reach out and lift Kiana's snow-white chin, scrutinizing her striking, spirited face...

This white-haired girl, despite her unfathomable strength, was remarkably humble, as if she had no self-awareness regarding her status or position.

"what happened?"

With her chin being grabbed, Kiana pouted and asked in a low voice.

Seeing that she had ignored this provocative little gesture, Yae no Miko felt he had gained the upper hand.

She pinched Kiana's chin, feeling the smooth texture and unusually warm body temperature, and instantly felt addicted to the play.

"Hmm...hehe."

Yae no Miko grabbed Kiana's chin, swaying it left and right like an adult teasing a child.

What are you doing?!

Feeling mocked like this, Kiana couldn't help but glare at the vixen with a displeased expression.

Generally speaking, people with a bit of self-awareness would know to let go in this situation.

After all, repeated teasing can push someone to their limit.

Yae no Miko originally thought the same thing, but... she suddenly remembered the various experiences she had when she was forced to revert to her original form.

Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up in her heart.

"Ah!"

As if possessed, Yae no Miko leaned closer and, before Kiana could react, gently pecked her on the cheek.

"Huh? Huh!"

"This is... punishment~"

Feeling like she had finally gotten her revenge, Yae no Miko smiled and let go of his hand, then playfully stuck out her tongue.

It gives the impression of a little girl who has just pulled off a prank...

"Punishment? Well, I don't know what I did wrong."

Kiana touched the side of her cheek that had been kissed, somewhat speechless at the great priestess's mischievousness.

But generally speaking, as long as it's not something bad, it should be fine, right?

Time passed slowly, and the already late sky finally gave way, turning into night as the sun sank below the horizon.

Because there was not enough lighting, the wilderness was pitch black at night, and it was basically impossible to see anyone walking in.

Given this situation, we can't expect Ying to be able to see through the attack moves of the anti-Thor training, can we?

Kiana then suggested taking a break, which was subsequently agreed upon by Yae no Miko and Hikari.

Just as Ying was about to take out the Dust Song Pot again and go back to sleep...

"It's getting late. Shall we all come with you to the shrine to rest? Hehe, although my humble abode is small, I do have bedding."

"Eh? Well... actually, it's not necessary, I have somewhere I can..."
