"...Yeah." After waiting for a while, Lei Dianying slowly opened his eyes and responded with a deep lightning light in his eyes.

Yaye could vaguely sense that her breath seemed a little confused.

"Huh!" He exhaled softly and patted his chest: "You scared me to death. What happened just now? Why did you suddenly expel me from the Pure Land of One Heart?"

"Nothing, just some minor issues that need to be dealt with." He responded casually, and Lei Dianying tried hard to suppress the struggling consciousness of General Lei Dian in his body.

"Son of God, you..."

Looking up at the Eightfold God Child, Lei Dianying was about to speak when suddenly the voice of Aojiezhong came from outside the door: "Your Excellency the General, the three adults, the Tenryo Bugyo, the Kanjo Bugyo, and the Sha Bugyo, are asking to see you outside the castle tower."

"Tell them no..." A trace of indifference flashed across her eyes, and Lei Dianying was about to refuse San Fengxing's request for a meeting. In this big world, nothing could be more important than what she was doing now.

However, before she could finish her words, Yae Shenzi decisively stopped her. Feeling Lei Dianying's puzzled gaze, she said softly: "Before, didn't Sister Zhen tell us to stop the National Lockdown Order and the Eye Hunting Order..."

"That's right!" After pondering for a moment, Lei Dianying nodded. Although five hundred years had already made her not want to delay any further, since this was something her sister had ordered her to do, she would naturally not neglect it.

"Let them come in and wait in the hall."

"Yes!"

Hearing the footsteps of the Ojie people leaving, Lei Yingying turned his head to look at Yae Shenzi and continued the previous topic: "Son of Shenzi, I need to ask you a favor."

"Well, go ahead." Nodding, Yae Shinko was not surprised. Her eyes swept across the somewhat confused aura on Lei Dianying's body, and she felt that she had guessed her request.

"Do you want me to help you resolve the general's interference with your consciousness?"

"I want you to go to Liyue and find a way to find Mr. Yu Qi. If possible, it would be best if you could stay for a while longer."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and then fell into silence.

Yaesugi and Lei Diandian looked at each other and could see the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Going to Liyue? No? Ying, are you kidding me?" The Eightfold Son of God tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth and revealed a forced smile.

"I guess I heard you wrong. You mean to send someone to Liyue to establish diplomatic relations, right?"

"No!" Shaking his head vigorously, Lei Dianying shattered the remaining hope of the Eightfold Son of God: "I want you to go to Liyue and find Yu Qi."

"..." The corner of his mouth twitched, and Yaejinko could no longer maintain his smile. Looking at the serious Lei Dianying, he raised his hand to support his forehead helplessly: "Please, I'm the chief priest of Narukami Taisha. The operation of the shrine and Yae-do cannot be separated from me!"

"It would be inappropriate for me to go on a diplomatic mission to Liyue."

"It's okay. You can leave the matter to the chief priestess of the shrine. If there are any necessary matters, you can contact her through magic."

“Well, I’m still a follower of Thundergod. No matter how crazy Liyue is, they can’t let me stay in Liyue Harbor for a long time, right?!” The Eightfold Son of God still wanted to struggle.

"It's okay. I'll explain the situation to Morax and he'll agree."

"Well, no...you have to give me a reason for doing this, right?" Yae Shenzi felt like he was going crazy. Why did Lei Dianying go crazy just after Lei Dianzhen left?

It can't be that five hundred years of wear and tear has caused her consciousness to become confused, right?

He couldn't help but look Lei Dianying up and down, and Yaezamiko couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Without noticing the murmurs of his family members, Lei Dianying said seriously, "Sister said that she can't leave Yu Qi in the short term, and he doesn't want to stay in Inazuma temporarily; so, if you want to be with sister, we have to go find him ourselves."

"No, just for this? Since Sister Zhen doesn't come over, you'll let me go over, right?!" Yae Shenzi was almost amused by Lei Dianying's reason. He raised his hand to support his forehead, looking helpless.

"Why haven't I seen you so smart before... Ahem, the problem is, if I go to Liyue, Sister Zhen and Mr. Yu Qi will both have objections, right?"

"You knew from our previous communication that Morax probably didn't know about her resurrection, and Mr. Yu Qi himself is very low-key."

"If I just went there like this, a dignified chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, an envoy of Inazuma, sticking to an ordinary weapon shop owner... anyone would doubt Mr. Yu Qi's identity!"

"...I'm not asking you to stick to Mr. Yu Qi." Shaking his head, Lei Dianying's expression was exceptionally calm, and he said, "Rather, a witch named 'Ying' among your entourage fell in love with Mr. Yu Qi at first sight, so she chose to stay in Liyue."

"Huh?!" Unable to help but exclaim, it took Yae Shinko a long time to react to Lei Dianying's nonchalant words.

"Hiss~" She raised her hand to send away the people outside the house who heard the sound and ran over. Yae Shenzi stood up and walked close to Lei Dianying, looking her up and down carefully. Lei Dianying felt a little confused and couldn't help frowning.

"what happened?"

"As expected!" Clapping his hands gently, Yae Shenzi sighed, "I told you a long time ago, Ying, when making a doll, don't add those messy rules casually, and leave yourself enough backup."

"But you refused to listen and insisted on locking down all the rules. Now, even your own consciousness has become chaotic because it conflicts with the rules in your body."

"Hmm?" Frowning, Lei Dianying looked down at his body, and then realized what Yae Shenzi meant, and said calmly: "The general's consciousness is indeed competing with me for the right to use my body, but my consciousness is very clear and has not been affected by the general."

The implication is - I'm not crazy.

"Then how could you come up with such a messed up idea?" Yae Shenzi laughed in anger and glared at Lei Dianying. His chest shook violently, causing waves.

"Give me a reason!"

"My sister..."

Chapter 110: The Son of God’s Personal Opinion

"Sister, she hid a lot of things." Lei Dianying's tone was calm, but Yae Shenzi could hear the undercurrent surging beneath that calmness.

"About her own situation, about Mr. Yu Qi, about... us and Inazuma!"

"But, there is nothing abnormal about this. Perhaps it is because of Mr. Yu Qi's presence that some things are hard to say. After all, he did save Sister Zhen and Master Kitsaigong."

Facing Yae Shinko's "defense", Lei Diandian raised his head, and stared at the Ming Shen's followers in front of him with a pair of bright eyes, with deep uneasiness in his eyes.

"No, that's different!" Taking a deep breath, Yae Shenzi could see that Lei Dianying was trying hard to keep his emotions calm: "Sister, she... doesn't want me to go to her, doesn't want to go back to Inazuma, and doesn't want to stay with me!"

"This……"

"I can feel that my sister doesn't hate me or Inazuma, but she doesn't want us to face some things that she doesn't want us to face... She wants to bear everything alone!"

"It's just like……"

His expression remained calm, but Yae Shinko could notice that Lei Dianying's palms were clenched tightly, and his not-so-long nails were deeply embedded in the skin, with his knuckles pale.

"Just like... the tone and expression she had when she went to Kanreya alone five hundred years ago. It's exactly the same!"

Only after experiencing loss will you know how to cherish; only after experiencing pain will you desire beauty.

Five hundred years is not a short period of time for any demon god, including Lei Dianying.

There are always people who say that time can dilute all pain.

However, for Lei Dianying, who has been pursuing "eternity", or "stagnation", for five hundred years, everything in the past is still vivid in his mind, and even turned into an indelible curse, unforgettable.

The pain, the despair... after five hundred years, she was like a sponge that had absorbed so much water that it could no longer hold any more.

Because of this, when the fruit that seemed to have fallen from the sky and represented the 'lost and found' fell into her hands, she had already made up her mind to do everything she could to hold it tightly in her hands.

Even if it was covered with thorns, even if it was full of poisonous spines, even if... the seemingly sweet juice flowing out of it was nothing but a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon contact with blood, she was willing to drink the poison to quench her thirst.

Greed, urgency, madness, these emotions that were not "eternal" at all to Lei Dianying began to devour her soul, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, bit by bit the moment she confirmed that her sister was really resurrected.

It was unstoppable, and she had no intention of stopping it.

She just wants to find her own redemption.

"I can't stand losing again, and I can't stand watching helplessly as it all happens again."

Lowering his eyes, Yae Shinko could clearly hear the terrifying stubbornness in Lei Dianying's words.

"Since my sister is not planning to stay in Inazuma and won't allow me to go to the Land of Dreams with her, then I will go to Liyue myself."

"Anyway, my sister didn't say that she doesn't allow me to express my 'love' to Mr. Yu Qi, right?"

"..." Looking at Lei Diandian in front of him with a sweet smile in silence, Yae Shenzi had an indelible look of horror on his face.

Even she had never thought that the real appearance of lightning would have such a terrible impact on Lei Dianying. Her emotions would become so paranoid, so crazy, and so... extreme because of that little bit of speculation.

"Are you sure?" he asked in a hoarse voice. Yae Shenzi was in an extremely heavy mood. He wanted to persuade Lei Dianying to give up this idea, but the words stopped abruptly when they came to his lips.

Because she couldn't find any reason to deny Lei's movie plan.

"Yes, in three days, I will order you to lead the priestesses to go on a diplomatic mission to Liyue, and then..."

"Then, I, the poor chief priest of Narukami Grand Shrine, was attracted to an ordinary person from Liyue. I fell in love with her at first sight. I couldn't bear to leave her and resigned from my position as chief priest of Narukami Grand Shrine. I chose to stay in Liyue and become an ordinary wife."

"Son of God, you?!" Frowning at the Eightfold Son of God, Lei Dianying seemed a little puzzled, with a hint of confusion between his brows. In a trance, he almost let the consciousness of General Lei Dian take over.

Trying hard to suppress General Lei Dian's struggling consciousness, Lei Dianying let out a light breath and was about to speak when he saw Yae Shen Zi waving at him.

He casually took out a pot of sake from his sleeve, and while smiling, he poured a glass for Lei Dianying and said softly, "This is the most reasonable and safest plan."

"Just listen to me and I will explain it slowly."

Lowering his head, Lei Dianying picked up the wine cup and took a sip. The wine was clear and crisp, not the cherry blossom wine that he and Shen Zi usually drank.

"First of all, my goal in doing this is smaller than yours." He also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, with an alluring blush appearing on Yae Shinko's cheeks.

"Why?!"

Exhaling a breath of alcohol, she smiled in the blank gaze of Lei Dianying: "Because, I am a fox!"

"Ah?!" Lei Dianying's expression froze. He couldn't understand what this had to do with the identity of Yae God's son Fox.

"Ying, don't underestimate Mr. Yu Qi. He has a very faint aura, but it is enough to drive a beast monster like me crazy."

"Although he tried hard to restrain his aura, perhaps because he suddenly fell into the Pure Land and was frightened by the general's attack, he still leaked some of his aura out."

"An elemental demon like you may not be able to feel it, but a monster like me can feel it clearly."

"But does this have anything to do with your trip to Liyue?"

"This is the best reason! I don't believe that the immortal beasts or spirit beasts in Liyue can't sense this aura, especially those half-immortals who mingle among humans."

"Given their situations, once they sense this aura, they will definitely be attracted to it, especially those with the bloodline of some immortal beasts that worship nature... For example, my sister Ganyu."

"In short, I will definitely not be the first 'beast' to be attracted by him. In this case, even if I use this reason, the immortals in Liyue will not be too surprised as long as they understand the situation."

"At most, they just suspect that I insist on staying because I have some other plans, such as using the beauty trap to lure Mr. Yu Qi back to Inazuma or something like that."

"I will never associate it with Ying, you and Zhen's sister."

"What do you think? Is this reason enough?" Drinking glass after glass of wine, the face of Yae Shenzi gradually became dazed, as if he had been drunk by himself, but his watery fox eyes were still extremely clear and bright.

"...makes sense." In silence, Lei Dianying had to admit that Yae Shinko's reason was far more reasonable than what he had said before.

"but……"

"Secondly." He raised his hand again to interrupt Lei Dianying's words. Yae Shenzi stared into her eyes, as if staring at another consciousness in her body.

"You want me to leave for Liyue in three days. But, have you ever thought about how long it will take you to completely defeat General Lei Dian's consciousness and stop her from interfering with your actions when you yourself have not found your direction?"

"I can go..."

"I know that you want to go to the dream paradise left by Sister Zhen in the center of Yingxiang Mountain and use the difference in the speed of time to fight against her, right?"

His eyes closed gently, Yae Shenzi sighed and shook his head: "Even if you really did that, but you only rely on your persistence to fight against the general, then the result will be nothing but a lose-lose situation."

"Yes, you can defeat the general's consciousness and modify the rules you set within three days in the real world, but..."

At this point, Yae Shenzi raised his eyes and looked at Lei Dianying seriously, and asked softly: "Will you really still have the strength to disguise yourself under Morax's nose, and will you still have the strength to protect the safety of Sister Zhen when she is in danger?"

"You and I both know that although wear and tear is a law imposed by heaven on all life on the continent of Teyvat, it does not mean that it does not exist in places where this law can be avoided!"

"I..." He subconsciously exerted force with his palm and clenched the wine cup. The porcelain cup turned into countless pieces almost instantly. The clear wine slid down through his fingers, wetting the collar of Lei Dianying's clothes embroidered with gentian patterns, and finally slid into the deep ravine.

A slight chill came from her chest, waking Lei Dianying from her trance. She looked down at her collar that was wet with wine. A flash of lightning appeared, and the water vapor was evaporated instantly.

"You are absolutely right!"

"Finally, although not the most important, it is also indispensable..."

Picking up the wine glass and drinking the last bit of wine, Yae Shenzi shook his head, and leaned against Lei Dianying as if he was staggering: "You, can't seduce people!"

"Ah?!" Lei Dianying was completely stunned after these words came out, and looked at the face of Yaye Shenzi beside him in confusion, which seemed to be both angry and smiling.

His eyes were as gentle as water, with rippling light and a hint of alluring charm. The Eightfold Son of God gently raised his head, his breath as fragrant as orchid.

The breath with the scent of wine hit Lei Dianying's neck, making her face turn red. She couldn't help but shrink her body, avoiding Yae Shenzi's teasing movements.
