Reading poems from Teyvat

Yae Shinko didn't care and just said.

Shen Zhigui couldn't refute it at this time:

After all, from a certain perspective, he really likes to make hurtful remarks.

Although most of the time it's just nonsense.

But isn't Yae Shinko also telling lies at this time?

So the two of them really have something in common and are birds of a feather.

So Shen Zhigui said, "But it won't take long to go to Xumi or even negotiate with Zhidong, right?"

"How do you know that nothing unexpected will happen to delay the time?"

"Then how can you guarantee that whatever you do to purify the sacred cherry blossoms will not let the opportunity to deal with the doctor slip away?"

"So why don't you come and help me with the Divine Sakura Purification?"

"Why don't you help me take the Heart of God to Xumi first?"

The two of them immediately started arguing as if no one was around.

Kamisato Ayaka felt frightened when she heard these words from their mouths. Although she would never betray the General, at this moment, when she heard from these two people about the whereabouts of such a vital item as the Heart of God and the diplomatic dynamics with Zhidong, she instinctively wanted to cover her ears, because such things should not be known by the people in charge of society, not to mention that she was the person in charge of etiquette in dealing with people from other families. If she accidentally leaked the news, it would probably cause quite a stir.

But at this moment, she felt as if she had returned to the night of the festival.

Because the young man at that time was just like the young man now, who would never stop saying shocking things, and dared to say anything, as if she didn't exist at all.

So at this moment, she felt a little nostalgic, so she couldn't help covering her mouth with the fan, but she smiled.

Ying, who was sitting on the side, saw these two selfish guys refusing to give in to such a matter, and immediately covered her forehead without saying a word. Later, she saw that the exchange between the two people became more and more intense, and even had the posture of a full-scale fight. As an honest person, she couldn't help but shake her head, then stood up and said, "That Shenying Dafu, I come to help, is it okay?"

Chapter 72: The River Flows Like a Nine-Twist Intestine (Part 2)

In fact, Shen Zhigui was not very resistant to performing the Shenying Purification Ceremony.

He just didn't want to be used by the Eightfold Son of God.

This is also a common problem for people like them, whether it is Yae Shenzi or Shen Zhigui, they are always unwilling to suffer losses, otherwise they will feel that they are not smart enough and will be inferior to others. But when an honest person like Ying who does not care about gains and losses took the initiative to say that she would help, Shen Zhigui looked at Yae Shenzi, and then quickly finalized the process of the plan. Of course, the process did not let Ying withdraw from it, but let her be responsible for the final finishing stage. Then the two of them took the plan directly to find Lei Dianzhen and Lei Dianying, asking them to contribute as well——

After all, Inazuma’s high-end combat power is so scarce.

Ying and Shenli Linghua obviously didn't expect that this meeting would end in this way. When they saw the two people arguing about the details of the plan before leaving hand in hand, Ying couldn't help but look at her friend apologetically. She wanted to say something, but Shenli Linghua shook her head: "Actually, it's better this way. Mr. Shen and I are really not from the same world. This meeting just made me see it more clearly."

Ying just exchanged glances with Paimon:

Ying might not be that simple. Although at this moment, she couldn't understand what her new friend meant to her. If she had any girlish feelings for Shen Zhigui, Ying really couldn't see it. But if she didn't have any special feelings for Shen Zhigui, that was not necessarily the case.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a look in his eyes when Ying was telling him about the boy's past.

But at this time, Kamisato Ayaka seemed to see what was in Ying's mind and said, "I just envy Mr. Shen very much."

"envious?"

Ying originally wanted to say, as the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, why should Kamisato Ayaka envy someone like him?

But when she thought of Shen Zhigui's willful, carefree and easy-going way of dealing with people, and Kamisato Ayaka's cautious and etiquette-abiding attitude, Ying couldn't help but feel thoughtful. Judging from her friend's lifestyle, she was afraid that she would be tied to the ship of society and drift with the tide for the rest of her life. So she probably had some strange expectations for the young man who flew freely in the sky like a wild goose, right?

In other words, the more sharp the boy's personality was, the more she yearned for him, and the greater the distance between them. But if Shen Zhigui walked cautiously in the cage of worldly etiquette like her, or was as easy-going as Ying herself, she might not yearn for the boy so much, and would not use the boy as a mirror to examine her inner self.

Although the same thing seems to happen to this young man all the time.

Or is it that there are too many people in this world who always tie themselves to responsibilities, honors and positions, which is why the young man who is always willful and reckless seems so free and unrestrained?

In the end, Ying just shook her head silently, and quickly drove all these sad thoughts from her mind. She just continued to sit in the teahouse and listened to Paimon and Kamisato Ayaka's words, telling them about what they had seen and heard on the road, and asked Kamisato Ayaka to add details of the Kamizakura Purification, in order to prepare for her later help.

Although to be honest, whether it is Shen Zhigui, Ying, or even Yae Shen Zi, they all have the ability to complete the Divine Sakura Purification on their own, and now they have the blessing of Lei Dianying, so it didn't take them much effort to clear the filth in the earth veins. To be honest, these filths are not as troublesome as the remains of the demon god. Shen Zhigui can even deal with that kind of thing, so the filth accumulated in these earth veins is naturally no problem.

So it only took them a few days to complete the cleanup, and Shen Zhigui even worked with Lei Dianzhen to bring the sacred cherry tree back to life.

Standing under the sacred cherry tree that was clearly autumn and yet had lush leaves and was about to bloom, the few of them looked at each other, and then Shen Zhigui said, "I'll send her back first. Ying, are you going to go with the Son of God or with me?"

"Your question is very strange, why don't we all go together?"

Paimon asked him.

Shen Zhigui immediately exchanged a glance with Lei Dianzhen. The Eightfold Son of God was obviously aware of the situation. He just didn't want to have too much contact with the Heart of God, and even avoided having too much contact with her for this reason. So at this time, she reached out and hugged Ying, and said naturally: "Of course Ying will go with me. We have cooperated perfectly during this period. We are simply natural partners. In addition, a weak civilian like me will definitely need someone like Ying to protect me if I go to the dangerous Xumi."

Shen Zhigui immediately complained and asked, "Does the natural partner she mentioned refer to the combination of a natural black-hearted capitalist and a hardworking office worker?"

But Ying had no objection, so of course he couldn't say much.

So the few of them went their separate ways. After Shen Zhigui sent Lei Dianzhen back to Inazuma City, he did not stay for long. He wanted to use Meng Xiang Yi Xin directly to let Lei Dianying cooperate with him through her "Evil Star Hand Eye" to achieve long-distance aerial movement. But before he left, Lei Dianzhen stopped him. Her eyes, which were completely different from her sister's, were peaceful and warm, and now they were full of clarity:

"After this trip to Sumire, will you continue your journey to other places, still letting yourself drift like a kite in the storm towards the unknown world, or will you decide to tie your thread to a certain place or a certain person? Or, in other words, your 'destiny' is to let your legend float forever on a certain land, and let it be eternally engraved in the deepest part of time. Although I know that you can do this with your poetry alone, it seems that you don't want to leave your mark in the form of poetry, but want to pass on your destiny in a more practical way. In this case, which place will you choose? Liyue or Inazuma?"

Shen Zhigui looked at the woman with a bright smile, thought for a moment, and said, "But 'Destiny' is just a means for me. I don't regard Destiny as my ultimate goal. Of course, it would be best if I could do it, but if there is a way to achieve my ideal through other means, I naturally don't have to use Destiny to achieve it."

Lei Dianzhen looked at him silently for a moment, and then just said: "Well, in that case, I can only wish you a successful start."

Chapter 73: Let’s Go to the Baiyue Tattoo Site (Part 1)

Lei Dianzhen might not be threatening Shen Zhigui to make a choice between Inazuma and Liyue. In a sense, she was really curious about what Shen Zhigui would choose, because even if Shen Zhigui chose to settle in Liyue, she didn't really care. She believed that Shen Zhigui would be able to cross the distant time and space sooner or later, and come to Inazuma as if he was just a stone's throw away even in Liyue. Of course, she knew that in the eyes of the young man, Liyue was probably more comfortable, although his own ideal hometown was actually a place where he could exchange a lot of information with the outside world in some way without leaving his house.

It seems that he might actually like Xumi more?

Lei Dian really thought so, but in the end he reached out to grab the boy's face, and then moved closer without hesitation.

Not far away, Lei Dianying, who was standing in the courtyard, looked at the two figures who were in close contact, and was stunned for a moment:

When did my sister become so...

Although it can't be said to be bold.

And considering that it was the young man who took the initiative to do this to the Yuheng Star of Liyue, but now it was her sister who took the initiative, Lei Dianying felt a little unbalanced for her sister. However, looking at the pair of shadows entangled in front of her eyes, some strange thoughts rose in her heart, making it difficult for her to look away. At this time, she even felt a thirsty thought coming from her body that had been transformed into a doll, as if she also wanted to participate in it.

No.

This is too much!

Lei Dianying said this to himself.

But she still couldn't take her eyes off those two people.

When the two separated, Shen Zhigui reached for Mengxiang Yixin, but found that the artifact did not send back any corresponding feedback, as if the tacit understanding they had during this period of time had disappeared at this moment. Shen Zhigui thought that there was something wrong with the artifact, so he increased his consciousness input, but after the feedback that was like a drop in the ocean, he finally realized that it was not a problem with the weapon, but a problem with the person:

The Thunder God was staring at him not far away.

Although Shen Zhigui thinks that Lei Film's current actions are understandable.

But this is really the initiative of thunder and lightning!

No matter how much you're a sister complex, you can't throw the problem on him, right?

But after all, Shen Zhigui still felt guilty, and he didn't watch any more movies. He just prepared to take off, wondering whether he should go to the outlying island first to find a ship to Liyue, or fly directly from Inazuma to Liyue?

Considering his current amount of true energy, it seems a bit strenuous, right?

Although he does know how to swim now.

But it’s better not to get wet if you can.

But just after he flew out of the range of Inazuma City, Shen Zhigui sensed a ray of lightning approaching from afar. He had dealt with such situations countless times in recent days, so he knew that it was Lei Dianzhen who was approaching. She couldn't help but think that she couldn't attack in front of Lei Dianzhen, so she could wait until he was outside Inazuma City and out of Lei Dianzhen's sight and then she could let go?

But did she forget that Raiden can actually observe the world around him through dreams.

Or is it that Lei Dianying is so anxious that he can't care about anything now?

It's rare to see someone who's obsessed with their sister to this extent, right?

Shen Zhigui subconsciously took out the Huaying Sword and wanted to parry, but he saw that Lei Dianying actually stopped only three feet in front of him. The two of them hovered in the void, silent for a while. Shen Zhigui just looked at her warily. The Huaying Sword in his hand became sharper with the infusion of true energy, and the lightning in Lei Dianying's pupils became more and more intense. The atmosphere of a battle between the two was about to break out -

Although Shen Zhigui was a little suspicious:

Given the character of this tyrant, wouldn't he have just rushed over wielding his naginata without even giving him a chance to prepare?

What on earth is she doing here?

And at this moment, Lei Dianying actually sighed.

Shen Zhigui was somewhat stunned by her unexpectedly feminine behavior:

Although Lei Dianying has always been dressed in revealing clothes, her words and deeds rarely show such a feminine or sentimental side. She has always shown a tough attitude, and the rare times when she showed a gentleness were almost always when she was with Lei Dian Zhen Gen. But even then, she gave people the impression of a warrior with a murderous aura. But at this time, she let her tough shell break and revealed such a weak emotion, which really caught Shen Zhigui off guard.

"what you up to?"

"What are you going to do about your sister?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Zhigui subconsciously chose to play dumb.

"When is the wedding, of course?"

Although Shen Zhigui felt that dating without the purpose of getting married was just hooliganism, and of course Shen Zhigui didn't think he was any different from a hooligan, Lei Dianying's attitude that it was natural that they should get married after kissing made Shen Zhigui wonder if he had gone to some other world where if he touched a girl's hand, he had to protect her innocence and couldn't end it without getting married. Although if it really was in such a world, there would definitely be people who would think about touching the hands of strange beautiful women all day long:

"Isn't this too early?"

He couldn't help but complain:

"Besides, what difference does it make whether you get married or not?"

Anyway, Shen Zhigui didn't think there was any need for him to get married with his current messy interpersonal relationships.

I don't think Lei Dianzhen would be interested in joining his social circle.

In other words, Raiden would probably feel satisfied just being able to observe his social circle through his dreams.

Of course, if we really want to talk about it, Shen Zhigui’s social circle actually just consists of those few people.

"But if you don't get married, I..."

Shen Zhigui was curious when he saw her in a dilemma, so he said, "Besides, whether I marry her or not is actually none of your business, right?"

Besides, wouldn't it be better for this sister-con if they didn't get married? In this way, she could continue to deceive herself into thinking that her sister had not been taken away by someone else, and she could still monopolize her sister. Even if it continued like this, Shen Zhigui might not be able to form a family with her sister. Now it was just a relationship that stopped at a certain point. If they had conflicts in the future and were no longer as close as they are now, couldn't she openly ask them to end the relationship? Why was she forcing them to hold a wedding as soon as possible?

Chapter 74: Let’s Go to the Baiyue Tattoo Site (Part 2)

But Lei Dianying is indeed in a dilemma in their relationship.

She knew that her sister had a special liking for the boy who resurrected her. She also knew that the two of them had a unique and close connection. It was destined that their relationship would develop to the current stage. She herself had never thought of stopping the union of the two, although she was also aware of Shen Zhigui's vague vigilance towards her.

However, from the source point of view, there is really no need for Shen Zhigui to have a good impression of her.

After all, in the eyes of this young man, she was just a warrior who relied on her unparalleled martial arts to ignore the wishes of the entire nation and involve them in her plan full of personal greed. Although in fact, if we only talk about being stubborn, Shen Zhigui may not be inferior to her, but Shen Zhigui rarely involves irrelevant bystanders when implementing his plans. As for those sea ghosts who died under his sword, even from Lei Dianying's perspective, those people deserved it.

Although those people appeared, the fault was indeed hers.

After coming out of the Pure Land of One Heart, and finally taking back control of her body after a duel with General Raiden for hundreds of years in the consciousness space, Lei Dianying gave the control of the shogunate affairs to her sister. Ah Zhen also said that Inazuma became like this because she had an unshirkable responsibility for leaving on her own hundreds of years ago. However, Lei Dianying herself had thought about it and was not unaware that the reason why Inazuma had fallen to this point was all due to her, the irresponsible successor god. There was one sentence in the "Confession of Sins" issued by Shen Zhigui in her name that was indeed correct:

"To bear the disgrace of the country is to be called the master of the country; to bear the misfortune of the country is to be called the king of the world."

If she is still prepared to hide behind Ah Zhen and let Ah Zhen bear her original responsibilities, it proves that she has never been a qualified monarch.

In this situation, it is actually natural for the boy opposite to be wary, resistant and distant towards her, right?

After all, since Raiden Shin woke up, she had only pushed the corresponding responsibilities to her sister, and Raiden Shin had taken over the leadership of the shogunate without hesitation. Although they were indeed indistinguishable from each other, in fact, Lei Dianying did not think it was necessary for her to distinguish between herself and Raiden Shin. But that was for Inazuma as a whole, but in personal relationships, she and Raiden Shin were indeed two independent wills, two individuals with their own sides, so Shen Zhigui naturally got close to the sister who was perfect both in her own eyes and in the eyes of others, and chose to distance herself from her who had made a big mistake -

This is not a problem.

At least not before.

But as Shen Zhigui and Lei Dian became closer to each other, as her understanding of martial arts with Shen Zhigui deepened, as she continued to think about her own position in this world and Inazuma, as her gaze turned to the boy's journey like her sister, and as she gradually became clear about her own heart, she couldn't help but feel that she had nowhere to go and was in a dilemma under the increasingly close relationship between him and her sister.

She loved her sister dearly, and felt that she and her sister were inseparable and of one mind, but the fact was that Ah Zhen's close relationship with Shen Zhigui would inevitably expand Ah Zhen's inner world, and she would not be able to completely occupy the center of Ah Zhen's inner world together with Inazuma, whom she also valued. She also had indescribable gratitude towards this young man who had joined forces with Ah Zhen to pull her out of her pure land, resurrected Ah Zhen, and allowed her to re-examine the eternal vanity she had been pursuing, and whose tacit understanding in martial arts had deepened day by day. It would be better to say that if anyone did the above things, she would be extremely grateful to that person, and would not frown no matter what he asked her to do.

But this young man didn't need her gratitude.

She also believed that even without his dream, Shen Zhigui would be able to safely overcome the difficulties he faced.

The power she bestowed upon Dream One was merely the icing on the cake for the young man.

She knew where Shen Zhigui's wariness, resistance and alienation towards her came from. Although the two of them had such a tacit understanding in martial arts, apart from that, she and Shen Zhigui did not have much communication. Naturally, she could not let Shen Zhigui know her thoughts. It was not that she had not thought about repaying this young man, being frank with him, and clarifying the relationship between the three of them, but she really could not change her tough martial artist's attitude to face this young man, whether it was because of habit or because of the tacit understanding between her and the young man.

Or maybe she is actually resisting conveying such an idea?

So even though he is the "key" to her current happiness, he is always neither far away nor close like now.

So Lei Dianying sighed again very sentimentally.

Shen Zhigui didn't have time to think about it before he heard her say, "For people like you and me, if we want to change our minds, without sufficient external force to make us face reality, we will only be trapped in our own self-perceived world that we have constructed unilaterally, so -"
