Lin Ye pressed the soft hand he was holding against his waist, then let go and felt the small hand gently squeezing it.

Comfortable?

…I don’t feel anything actually.

But Lin Ye thought this was very interesting.

Just a little itchy...

Lin Ye and Shen He, behind their friend's back, secretly did some boring little things that only lovers would do.

Lin Ye is thick-skinned, while Shen He is thin-skinned. They inexplicably feel that this is very evil and cannot help but sneak a glance at Ying and the others, praying that they are not discovered.

Shen He has developed a normal concept of love and is no longer as indifferent and shy as he was in the past.

When they were about to reach the Thousand-Eyed and Hundred-Armed Statue, Lin Ye held Shen He's small hand again and whispered.

"During the time we were apart, a lot of things happened. It's longer than what I told you before. I may have to talk for a long time."

"Ah."

"It's just some reasons that I can't tell you for now."

"It doesn't matter." Shen He said softly, "You can wait as long as you want. You don't have to tell me."

As long as you come back to me, that's enough.

I am still absolutely sure that you still love me and I still love you.

……

Thousand-armed and hundred-eyed deity.

Its size is not much different from the Wind God Statue in Mondstadt, but its significance is very different.

The statue of the God of Wind and the statue of the God of the Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes were both built by their respective people for the gods they believe in, but one symbolizes freedom while the other represents oppression.

"There is a solemn atmosphere around this statue... I guess most people wouldn't come here," Paimon said.

"Hey...if you look closely, this is inlaid with..."

"The Eye of God." Thomas replied. His voice was calm, but it contained another kind of resentment.

"Eye of God! So all the Eyes of God confiscated by Tianling Bugxing will be built on top?" Paimeng was shocked.

The statue is seated, with a pair of wings behind it, inlaid with many dull stones.

Ying observed that this was the Eye of God, and unlike the one of Manyo's friend, although it faded, it was not extinguished.

Of course, it's not dazzling at all.

"This is the Eyehunter Order. You have been to Mondstadt and Liyue. If I were to sum them up in one word, they would be [freedom] and [contract]..."

“And Inazuma, it’s [eternal].”

"eternal?"

"General Raiden, he is both the supreme ruler of Inazuma and the god of Inazuma."

"The eternal will that will remain unchanged for thousands of generations is [her] will that governs this country."

"To this end, we will stabilize the national government with the Three Magistrates' Laws and restrict the movement of people with the lockdown order."

"The general wanted Inazuma to maintain a state of stillness, so that the river of time could flow by on both sides, while Inazuma would remain motionless, until [eternity].

"It seems that every god has his own ideas." Paimon commented, "Then why did she issue the Eye Hunting Order?"

“Perhaps this is because the General believes that the Eye of God has the power of change, affecting her eternity,” Thomas replied.

"So she confiscated the Eye of God and built this Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, which symbolizes eternity."

"If that's the case... this General Raiden is a bit selfish. He doesn't listen to everyone's true voice... well, he insists on having his own way."

Paimon's sharpness is evaluated as if she is the God of Wind in Mondstadt and the God of Rock in Liyue.

Thomas laughed when he heard such blasphemous remarks. "Haha... Only you foreign travelers dare to question the general's decision."

"Paimon, she wasn't like this before."

"Huh? Who is it?" Paimon looked at Lin Ye who spoke.

Ying and others also looked at Lin Ye.

"ying... General Lei Dian, she may have experienced some major setbacks and blows, and she is getting stuck in a dead end. She would not be so extreme in the past." Lin Ye said.

"You make it seem like you know General Raiden very well... Wait, you know him in Mondstadt and Liyue... Um, you can't really know General Raiden, can you?!"

Ying was also curious.

If Lin Ye knew General Lei Dian, why would she go to see Princess Bai Lu...

No! Inazuma needs change, and she needs to gather all the living forces that can be won.

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. General Lei Dian doesn't know me." Lin Ye said.

"But I plan to go see her."

"Hehe, us too, let's work hard together." Paimon said with a silly grin.

Ying was thinking. Lin Ye didn't tell him what he experienced in Inazuma. I thought he would have a hard time, but I didn't expect that even the head of the community became his friend...

Why does she have to go through so many tests to see your sister?

Is this fair?

This is not fair!

Ying was very angry.

Lin Ye looked at the magnificent statue of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed God. In his eyes, this was no ordinary building, as it contained a huge power of all wishes.

He can make this power burst out.

But it's not the right time.

Ying saw Lin Ye staring deeply at the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, and wondered if there were any other problems with this statue?

Ying reached out and tried to touch it.

Then a lot of noisy voices suddenly popped up in my mind.

Ying covered her forehead and frowned.

"Ying, what's wrong with you? Your expression seems a little strange?" Paimeng asked with concern.

"Just now...did you hear any sound?"

"What's that sound?" Thomas and Paimon both shook their heads.

Ying looked at Lin Ye again.

“I seem to have heard… many people expressing their [wishes].”

"Wishes? When a person's wishes are strong enough, the gods will cast their gaze upon him. The eyes of God possess both the power of change and the power of wishes." Lin Ye explained.

It seems that Ying, like him, can also carry the wishes of all the people in Teyvat.

Ayato Kamisato was responsible for providing a list of people who had been deprived of the Eyes of God, and collected detailed information about their identity backgrounds, connections, wishes, etc.

Lin Ye found thirty-seven former owners of the Eye of God in Inazuma City and gained their trust.

With the wishes of Inami and his people, Lin Ye can use this power to persuade Ying, but he is not sure about the success rate.

For this, Lin Ye needs companions.

The demon mission was originally a trial for Ying, and Lin Ye had his own path to follow.

Since Ying can touch "wishes", then let her also witness and collect the wishes of the Inami people.

"So that's how it is." Ying was thoughtful after listening to Lin Ye's explanation.

"If these are true, the people's wishes are probably more persistent than we imagined," Thomas sighed.

"Okay, now that we have finished touring the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue, our next stop is Kamisato Prefecture."

Thomas finished speaking, and then saw Ying folding her arms and looking at him silently.

"Uh…what's wrong?"

"Where is Kamisato Palace?" Ying asked.

"Shadow Mountain."

"How far is it from here?"

"Distance..." Thomas stopped talking and tried to ask, "Should we take a few days off?"

Ying nodded.

Travelers are not made of iron. They are always on the move. They haven’t even spent a day in Inazuma City before they rush to Yingxiang Mountain...

Feeling a little tired.

Lamia naturally agreed to this proposal.

She is a mermaid, so swimming is fine for her, but walking the same distance will make her more tired than swimming in the sea.

Ying and Lamia rested up in Inazuma Castle for a few days, while Lin Ye took Shen He on a date to enjoy their own time.

During this period, Coral searched several times, but without exception came back empty-handed.

Three days later, Lin Ye and his friends set out for Yingxiang Mountain!

Kamisato Prefecture is on the east side of Yingxiang Mountain, passing through the Guardian Forest. This is Paimon's first time in the Guardian Forest. He is immediately attracted by the dreamy scene and tries to pick a fluorescent flower. Unexpectedly, he is teased by a raccoon, which makes everyone laugh.

Shenlifu.

Thomas claims to be Princess Shiratana's close servant. His job in Kamisato Palace is called household manager. As the name suggests, he is responsible for taking care of everything in Kamisato Palace. He can be said to be a male mother.

With Thomas there, the group entered Kamisato Palace smoothly.

Ying observed Lin Ye's expression. Since he knew Kamisato Ayato, he must have been to Kamisato Mansion before.

Lin Ye noticed Ying's gaze, guessed what she was thinking, and shrugged.

"This is my first time in Kamisato Prefecture too. Ayato is not in Kamisato Prefecture. You will know the reason after you meet the Tenryo Bugyo." Lin Ye said.

Ying nodded and wrote it down secretly.

Thomas led everyone into the room where Princess Egret entertained the guests.

The room is spacious and elegant, and what catches the eye is the light purple kimono hanging there, which is the same color as the screen.

"Where is Princess Egret?" Paimon looked around curiously.

Let Paimon come in.

"Hmm..."

A girl's voice came from behind the screen.

Chapter 558: The Aftermath of Losing a Wish

"Behind the screen?" Paimon asked in surprise, feeling curious.

"As the eldest daughter of the shrine, Ms. Kamisato usually receives guests in this way," Thomas explained.

"It is a custom that the community has followed for hundreds of years. Please understand."

Ying was a little disappointed when she heard that.

Maybe the expectations were dashed.

When she left the island, she learned of the existence of Princess Egret, and she went through several tests just to see her.

As a result, when he arrived at Kamisato Palace, he was not allowed to see her beauty.

"You have traveled across the sea and are exhausted. Now that we can only meet like this, please forgive me for my impoliteness."

"Mr. Lin Ye, my brother mentioned you to me and said that you are a trustworthy person." Princess Bai Lu said again.

Behind the screen, Kamisato Ayaka looked at Ying and Hayashi Ye. The former was the person she was expecting to see, while the latter was the person her brother had told her about in the letter.

In the game, Kamisato Ayaka may not be aware of Kamisato Ayato's actions and plans, but the brother and sister, one in the light and one in the dark, resist the swords, guns and arrows outside.

Kamisato Ayaka heard about the traveler's deeds and believed that she was the one who could turn the tide.
