The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"…Let's go somewhere else, where she can't find us."

"it is good."

Xinhai instructed the guard to do some things, and after that, she took Linye to her secret base.

Xinhai’s secret base is at the southern end of Haiji Island. There is a big purple tree and a cave next to it. That is Xinhai’s nest.

The secret base is more secretive than in the game, and the entrance is smaller.

Lin Ye came to Xin Hai's secret base, and the latter did not say anything ambiguous like "You are the first person to come to my secret base". There is no point in being ambiguous when there is a powerful enemy at hand.

The secret base was filled with books, including military strategies, but more were light novels. Xinhai felt embarrassed and secretly hid the embarrassing light novels.

Lin Ye noticed this scene, pretended not to see it, and told Xin Hai the time and place.

"Where is the Imperial Residence?"

"Gozen Zhaizhi, have you ever heard of "Da Gozen", a person of the same generation as Xiyan, and also a member of the Eastern Expedition team?"

Lin Ye learned a little bit and listened to Xin Hai telling the history of Haiji Island, that is, the story of Oropas's eastward expedition and his final failure.

"That house has been submerged by the tide and is immersed in the pool. It is in the northeast of Haiji Island. Xiyan asked you to go there. I'm afraid she missed you, or maybe there is something there that we don't know."

"The flooded house?"

"Well, not many people know about it." Xinhai said.

"Shilang, are you going to keep the appointment?"

"Ah."

"…I'm ashamed to say that you've helped us a lot." Xin Hai lowered his head and said, "Is there anything you want?"

Lin Ye is not a mercenary from Haiqi Island, and his nature is somewhat different from Beidou. Xinhai has negotiated a price for Beidou and has no scruples about using him, but Lin Ye's righteous act is of great significance in Xinhai's eyes.

But free things are often the most expensive. Xinhai thinks that he can't keep taking advantage of Linye's labor for free, so he should at least give something in return.

Lin Ye went to great lengths to help Haigi Island, but he had selfish motives. After all, when people work, how can they not do it voluntarily?

Lin Ye also felt a little guilty because of Xinhai's guilt.

Lin Ye thought about it and told Xin Hai.

"You don't need to be ashamed. I helped Haiji Island because I was asked to do so."

"Who?" Xinhai raised his head and asked in confusion.

"Aurobus."

"..."

Rao Shi Xin Hai also showed a surprised expression at this moment.

"Hasn't Kaigi Daimikoto fallen? Where did you see him?"

"Mingyun Shrine, you are right. He is already dead, deader than death. What I saw was an illusion left by Him. Besides, Orobas's body is still on Bayun Island."

“…What did He say to you?”

"Nothing much, just ask me to help you more."

Xinhai tilted his head and stared at Lin Ye.

So simple?

Also, as the living priestess of Kaigi Island, she organizes the worship of Him every year. Why didn't Oropas look for her but a foreigner instead?

Is it possible…

The orthodoxy of the current human god and priestess lies in Shilang?

No, no.

Human-god witch, this is a witch...

"I always feel like you're thinking of something very rude."

"Miss Shilang...?"

"..."

"I am a genuine man. I have a gentle, virtuous, kind, beautiful, lovely, interesting... (one hundred words omitted here) girlfriend who is waiting for me to come home in Liyue." Lin Ye showed off his biceps and said seriously.

“…Oh. My apologies.”

"I'm glad you know." Lin Ye nodded, showing a look of relief that Xin Hai had admitted his mistakes and improved greatly.

"Xinhai, do you wonder why Orobas didn't look for you?"

"No." Xin Hai said seriously, "The Great God of the Sea must have a deep meaning for doing this."

"From the current situation, it is not wrong for Kaigi Daimikoto to entrust you."

"But I have to leave Haigi Island eventually."

"That's right. I hope that next time you come back, you'll see a more prosperous Haigi Island, and that the war will end soon."

"I heard that your purpose is to oppose the Eye Hunting Order and to advise General Raiden. There shouldn't be many people on Umijima who possess the Eye of God."

“…Shilang, there is a very philosophical saying in your hometown: ‘See through but don’t speak out.’” Xinhai sighed.

The conflict between Umijima and the shogunate has been deep-rooted for a long time. The Eye Hunting Order is just a spark, and a small firework can quickly detonate explosives.

In recent years, the speed of the expansion of the holy land has been getting faster and faster, and the Heart Sea has also been swept up by the public opinion of the poor people of Haiji Island. Just like Oropas back then, the superiors, because of their love for the people, have become restrained.

Lin Ye did not continue to ask questions. He and Xin Hai focused their communication on Xiyan.

Xiyan, an ancient person who lived more than two thousand years ago, obtained powerful strength from the Dark Sea and cooperated with the Fatui. Her goal was to make the rebels fight the shogunate army like crazy, regardless of cost or consumption, just to reach the front of Ming Shen.

Lin Ye asked Xin Hai if he could persuade Xi Yan to give up her obsession of throwing herself into a flame.

Xinhai was surprised that Lin Ye intended to maintain peace. When Xinhai was in her office, she saw the two men fighting particularly fiercely.

"I don't know much about Xiyan. After two thousand years, and living in the Chaos Sea outside the rule of the Seven Gods, I'm not sure if Xiyan can still think like a human."

"Then there's no hope." Lin Ye sighed.

Beating Xiyan to death can also be considered a change of perspective.

Three days later, Lin Ye came to the house in the pond alone. After the evolution of the earth veins, it became a secret place and was immersed in the pond water.

Lin Ye possessed the [Blessing of Lamia], jumped into the water, and entered the secret realm.

The former residence of the Ogozen who once dominated the Inazuma Islands has a window where one could enjoy a glass of wine while appreciating otherworldly flowers. As the house has no owner, the treasure-stealing gang has taken up residence here.

However, Xiyan cleaned it in advance to make it convenient for welcoming guests.

When Xiyan saw Lin Ye coming alone for the appointment, she nodded imperceptibly.

"You, like me, have received a gift from the demon god. Compared to that present-day priestess, I am your companion." Xi Yan got straight to the point and made a big promise, "Join me, and together we will overthrow the rule of Ming Shen, and then you and I will share Inazuma."

“Didn’t Wuxiang’s knife scare you awake?” Lin Ye asked back without letting him get angry.

Xiyan asked.

"you do not believe me?"

"if not?"

"I have been training in the Dark Sea for two thousand years. Now that I have returned to Inazuma, I am sure I can deal with Narukami."

"what way?"

"You are not my companion yet."

"Are the Fatui your companions?"

"Those people from the Kingdom of Winter? They are just using each other to collect the power of the Great God Haiji for me." Xiyan said with disdain. After witnessing the gods, Xiyan lost her awe for the people in the mortal world.

"Let me ask you, do you know about the disaster that happened to Inazuma five hundred years ago?"

"Change the subject. I don't have the patience to listen to your nonsense. Give me an answer."

"The long years have worn away your patience, unlike the guy I knew who lived a thousand years."

"Is this your answer?" Xiyan said with some disappointment.

Haiqi Island is within Xiyan's reach, but there is also Lin Ye, whose strength is not inferior to her. The best way to deal with it is to win him over. With one more helper, she can get twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, God will not let Xiyan get her wish.

"Then you will die here." Xiyan said.

……

At the distant Narukami Taisha Shrine on the Kagemukaiyama Island, Yaegamiko was eating fresh fried tofu when her chopsticks suddenly broke the fried tofu and it fell onto the plate.

Yae Shinko covered her mouth, thinking.

"Master Yae, what's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" asked the shrine maiden Axing with concern.

The shrine maiden Ayumi, whose full name is Kuki Yuki, is the older sister of Kuki Shinobu, the only lawyer of the Aradaki faction, and is also a little fangirl of Yae Kamiko.

By the way, another shrine maiden of Narujin Taisha Shrine, Nana Shikano, is the shrine maiden sister who often catches the lazy Hayato, and is the cousin of Heizo Shikanoin.

"Well, [Fox Udon] tastes as good as always." Yae Kamiko smiled.

"Help me call Nana over."

"Master Yayou, if you have any problems, you can leave them to me. There's no need to call her." Axing said a little jealously.

She often sees Shikano Nana and Yamae-sama chatting with each other. She doesn't know what they talk about. She is so jealous. She also wants to monopolize Yamae-sama~

Upon hearing this, Yae Shinko stretched out his finger and gently tapped Axing's forehead, smiling.

"Everyone in this world is unique. Sachiko and Nana are irreplaceable to me."

"Sometimes, it has to be Axing," Yae Shinko said seriously, without any of the guilt that comes with being a sea king.

Axing, however, had a very happy look on his face. He nodded like a little sparrow pecking at rice, and ran away happily to find Kano Nana.

Yaesugi raised the corners of her mouth and looked down at "Fox Udon", a kind of fried udon noodles, Yaesugi's favorite.

The day before yesterday, Ma Ji came to urge me again.

It's normal to lose your way in life, but not for too long.

The search for the boy who is destined to hold the Divine Sakura Purification has been handed over to the final chapter, but there has been no result so far. Yae Kamiko asks Nana Kano about the progress.

Nana Kano came in front of Yae Shinko and said helplessly, "Zaoyu has traveled all over Narukami Island but still hasn't found the target."

Zaoyou long-pressed the E skill, and rolled around so much that the hair on his tail became bald...

"If he was on Narukami Island, fate would have led him to come before Honguya Tsukasa, which means he was on another island... Honguya Tsukasa remembered that the evil spirit of Yabujima Island had been exorcised, and the news just reached Inazuma Castle this morning."

"Yes. Master Yae, do you suspect that the other party did it?"

"Guess. Send someone to Bayun Island to investigate." said Yae Shen Zi.

"Yes."

After Nana Shikano left, Yaegamiko talked to herself.

"Hu Zhai Gong, Hu Zhai Gong, you really caused me trouble."

Chapter 498 Unlucky Zaoyou

Gozentaku only.

Lin Ye and Xi Yan fought here for a full hour. Both of them were definitely not ordinary people. High-level battles could last for a long time, and the demons could even use years as a unit of counting.

The strength displayed by Lin Ye was slightly better and suppressed Xi Yan.

Xiyan took advantage of the terrain. She was the human-god priestess of Haiji Island. She also absorbed a large amount of power from the evil gods and obtained part of Orobas' authority, thus maintaining her undefeated status.

The sea tide of the secret realm completely submerged the house, but fortunately, [Lamia's blessing] enabled Lin Ye to move freely in the deep water, which surprised and regretted Xiyan.

From Xiyan's perspective, Lin Ye was an outsider and it would be fine if he didn't cooperate with her. There was no need for him to interfere in the internal affairs of Haigi Island.

Lin Ye and Xi Yan rushed out of the house in the pond, came to the shore, and confronted each other.

Xiyan tightly grasped the magic sword, her divine eyes showed the pupils of a snake, her originally fair skin was gradually covered with scales, and when she opened her mouth, her forked tongue was revealed, the influence of absorbing the remnants of the demon god Kaigi Daimikoto was showing.

"If I had the second follower of Lord Ohmimi, I would not lose to you." Xiyan said unwillingly.

Although Xiyan received the gift from the Demon God, she was not as experienced as Lin Ye in combat. She had wasted the past two thousand years in self-indulgence and fantasy. Besides, there were no human warriors in the Dark Sea to spar with her.
