"Captain, we can't surrender!"

"...The one above is my boss. Oh, your boss is next to him too."

The soldiers didn't understand what this meant, but as Susanoo was released, they realized that the people who came were Xie Yan and Kujo Sara, as well as a young girl and a floating spirit.

"Thank you, Master Yan! You're back!"

Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Xie Yan nodded slightly, feeling that his thoughts were clear.

Cool!

I always feel like something is missing when I try to show off in front of the people of Xumi. They surrender too quickly, and it always feels unreal when I brag about it.

But he just wanted to return home in glory. Looking at the little deer and the soldiers of the Shogunate army in front of him, Xie Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. He felt emotional in his heart, but more of a sense of relaxation.

because--

Even though he has his own residences in Liyue and Xumi, and can even build a temporary palace with a single order, in his heart, only his "birthplace" Inazuma can give him a sense of home.

It's not because the bed here is the biggest! Even if they are all queen-sized, they can sleep seven or eight people!

Well, as for why we need to calculate how many people can sleep, this is called a rigorous scientific attitude!

Yingmei and Paimon on the side were surprised. The last time they came to Inazuma, they were in a hurry and just took a quick walk around the outlying island before being sent to Xumi by Zhongli. Although they knew that Xie Yan had a high reputation in Inazuma, they did not expect that his status had far surpassed that of Kujo Sara who was in the same position.

"Yes, Xie Yan is the king's husband. Even if the relationship has not been completely confirmed, General Lei Dian has obviously acquiesced." Ying stroked his chin slightly, and somehow felt a little worried about competing with General Lei Dian.

Bah, why should I worry about these things? I'm not lying down anyway.

In this last month, Yingmei not only doesn't want to give up, she also wants to squeeze out all of Xie Yan's knowledge about the use of elemental power and copy his skills!

A thought flashed through his mind. Ying originally thought that there would be a grand welcome ceremony next, but he didn't expect that Xie Yan just patted Shikanoin Heizo on the shoulder, while Kujo Sara talked with the soldiers of the shogunate army to understand the situation.

That's it?

Paimeng was also puzzled. Seeing how respectful Ina's wife and people were, she thought they could have a party to celebrate Xie Yan's return.

As if noticing the curiosity of the two, Xie Yan turned around and said with a smile: "Didn't you just go out for a while? Now you're just going home, there's no need to do anything fancy."

"Go home..." Ying chewed on the word and suddenly understood Xie Yan's thoughts.

She went through so much trouble to travel across the seven countries because she wanted to find Kong.

But the embarrassing thing is that now that she is following Xie Yan, she actually feels the taste of home, and this is not a family composed of brothers and sisters, but...

In short, although she was still concerned about Sora's whereabouts, after learning some information from the World Tree, she was no longer so anxious. After all, it was Sora who deliberately avoided her.

In this case, it would be better to let her eat the poor Xie Yan and live the life of a rich wife, and by the way, increase Inazuma's exploration level.

My brother would definitely be very happy to see that I’m well fed and satisfied!

Xiaolu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Boss, we are just going home. It would be awkward to make such a grand ceremony. Uh, by the way, Boss, what happened just now?"

"Actually, I went to Liyue just to get the notarized documents. I actually went to Xumi to retrieve my things. Hey, didn't the news come back? I asked the Inazuma merchant ship to return from Omos Port a few days before I left."

"Given the distance between Xumi and Inazuma, it will probably take another day or two. However, there is news published in the Steambird Newspaper that Xumi has gained another god."

Xie Yan and Ying were not surprised. The organization behind the Steam Bird News was not simple. The newspaper was published simultaneously in the seven countries, but they were still able to maintain the timeliness of the information. Apparently, like the Zhidong Country, they had the means to transmit messages over long distances.

Just hearing this news... Xie Yan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he felt that he needed to go and report to Ying quickly.

Of course, regarding the matter of the Great Compassion Tree King, Xie Yan would have to omit the part about replenishing the demon.

"It's strange. Although Buyer is always reluctant, I seem to have injected too much Inazuma patriotic gene into her..."

This started from the first time he replenished his magic. Even if the Great Compassion Tree King was full of power, he would continue to use the Old Tree Roots.

But Xie Yan saw the psychological struggle of the Great Ci Tree King, and in the end he put in a lot of effort and relied on the right time, place and people to finally persuade her.

Thinking about it this way, it should be that the control was not good when replenishing mana, it’s Avalon’s fault.

But if Ying knew that he could defeat the God of Wisdom, even if it was just a narrow victory, he would probably be very pleased, right?

after all--

This time when Xie Yan comes back, in addition to solving the problem of Inazuma, it is time for him to challenge General Lei Dian to marry Ying... This is General Lei Dian's request. Only by defeating her can he get the "right to use" her body.

Looking at the little deer who seemed to have become more mature after being promoted to Cheng Yuli, Xie Yan patted the boy on the shoulder again: "I will come to you after I report to the general, and then we can have a few drinks!"

Of course Xiaolu agreed readily. On the surface, he seemed to be fine, but on the day Xie Yan left, he had secretly come to the scene and watched him leave.

To him, Xie Yan is a friend who can walk side by side with him, and also a senior who has always taken care of him. Therefore, only after he becomes a senior, he teaches his subordinates according to their aptitude.

"Perhaps, this kind of inheritance is the eternity of Inazuma." Xiaolu sighed in his heart.

Xie Yan glanced at the wounded Shogunate soldiers behind him, raised his hand, and the warm grass elemental power turned into countless green light spots and merged into their bodies, erasing the corrosive power of the abyss and healing their injuries.

"Next, I can get a blood-recovering talisman, which is even more important in battle." Xie Yan thought.

The shogunate army's officers and soldiers were all surprised to see the wounds healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Inazuma's shrine maidens can also heal this kind of polluting power, but it requires more complicated rituals, and in the end they still have to heal the wounds themselves.

Besides, isn't Master Xie Yan a swordsman? How come he has this healing ability?

Xiaolu did guess some of it, but since Xie Yanren has returned, he will definitely be more on the side of Inazuma...The news reported by the Steambird is problematic, maybe it's a conspiracy of the Zhidong Kingdom.

"I will go back with Sha Luo to report first. This operation in Xumi is also thanks to her." Xie Yan said and turned to introduce Yingmei to Xiaolu, "They are Ying and Paimon, that is, Mond's honorary knight and her partner. Please take them back to the Kande Bugyofu."

At this time, Kujo Sara also learned about the situation during this period from the soldiers. After Xie Yan finished speaking, he followed him away.

"Captain Shikanoin, please take us to the Kanjo Bugyofu." Paimon greeted politely, but couldn't help pursing his lips after saying that: "Hey, isn't the Kanjo Bugyofu very luxurious? There must be a lot of delicious food inside!"

The little deer looked at the magical creature in front of him that seemed like a floating spirit, and couldn't help feeling curious, but there were so many magical creatures in the continent of Teyvat. He heard that Xumi also had a similar [Spirit of Suppression], so he didn't take it seriously.

"You're welcome. You are the boss's guests. If it weren't inconvenient now, we would definitely welcome you solemnly." Xiaolu said with a smile, "As for the Kande Bugyofu... well, you will know when you go there."

Seeing that he was somewhat vague about the Kanding Bugyofu, the cautious Yingmei could not help but frown slightly: "Is there something wrong with the Kanding Bugyofu?"

"Of course there's nothing wrong. This Kanjo Bugyofu has been specially renovated by the family. Although it's not as spectacular as the castle tower, the interior decoration is not much worse. It's just that... Madam Coral Palace is said to be difficult to get along with. I'm worried that you have made her unhappy with your new arrival, and she will probably be very sad next time." Xiaolu sighed.

He was not very clear about Xie Yan's harem, but everyone in the folk said that the lady of the Coral Palace was very capable. There was also direct evidence that the Egret Princess and the Summer Festival Queen were defeated together. Although Ying had yellow hair, she would be more difficult to deal with.

After the words fell, Ying and Paimon looked at each other and both felt a sense of heaviness.

Sure enough, I should have thought of this the last time I came to Inazuma. If I want to gain a foothold in the Kanjo Bugyofu, I must establish a good relationship with Lady Coral Palace.

I didn't expect that a surrendered general from Xinhai of Coral Palace would be so troublesome. But it's better this way. Ying thought that he wouldn't have to worry about being invited to a party.

Yes, I have never seen the third act of this legendary mission!

Xie Yan's chapter of the party has ended! A small party doesn't count!

"Thank you Captain Luyeyuan for the reminder. We will pay attention." Ying nodded in thanks, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way next."

Paimeng was speechless. What did this party have to do with her? She quickly shook Ying's arm and said, "Hey, it's the traveler you have to pay attention to, not us."

Yingmei rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Do you think the lady from the Coral Palace will let you go?"

3 Xinhai: Let's party together

Since Xie Yan cured the injuries of the shogunate soldiers, everyone returned to the island together by boat after cleaning up the battlefield.

Although it is an affiliated island, there is still a long distance in the middle. Xiaolu Jianying's eyes occasionally fell on the remains of the monster, so he pointed to one of the hidden beast's claws and began to explain.

"This is a drop from the Beast Realm Wolves. Although they are disgusting, their claws are very helpful for forging and strengthening weapons."

"If combined with enough jade steel, the power of the evil god will stimulate the power of the claws, giving the weapon a bleeding corrosive effect. However, this will cause the holder to be doubly contaminated by the abyss and the evil god, so the swordsmiths in the city usually don't do this."

Ying and Paimon listened with great interest. In the continent of Teyvat, the items dropped by monsters can indeed be used to strengthen weapons or as alchemical materials, but the forging industry in Inazuma is obviously much more developed than that in Mondstadt and Liyue.

Next, I can ask Xie Yan to strengthen Wu Qi a little more and squeeze him hard!

The last time I came to Inazuma, I was in too much of a hurry and only wandered around the outlying island. I didn’t know much about the island scenery and heritage of Inazuma. Fortunately, this time I can make up for the regret and experience the life of a rich wife.

Well, by the way!

Don’t worry, brother. Please wait for me for a month. I will definitely come to find you after a month!

After hearing Xiaolu's introduction, Ying curiously asked, "What does 'in-city knife makers' mean? Are knife makers divided into those in and outside the city?"

"Inazuma's martial arts and sword-forging skills all originated from the Shogun. The most representative of these is the Thunder Five Schools, and the eldest is the descendant of the Tenmoku School." Xiaolu briefly explained the background, "But Inazuma is a martial arts-loving society, and many samurai became bandits after committing crimes, and some swordsmiths did the same."

Inazuma is a very paranoid country. Not only the gods, but mortals are the same. They can easily go to extremes in martial arts and swordsmanship.

"Sword testing" is a word with a connotative bloodiness. Although there is indeed an orthodox sword testing technique, many swordsmiths or warriors believe that tempering the sword with human blood will make it sharper.

A thought flashed through Ying's eyes. She had seen the shogunate soldiers fighting hard from a distance through Xie Yan's perspective. This was a strong army with a military spirit. Their discipline, fighting will and combat skills were far beyond the thirty-man group. However, she did not expect that martial arts also brought many problems to Inazuma.

Sure enough, what Mr. Zhongli said made sense. Every country has its own shortcomings. Traveling around the seven countries and witnessing their prosperity and crises can be regarded as a kind of "sedimentation".

Paimon noticed the swordsmith: "Hey, Xie Yan is the descendant of the Tenmoku-ryu. Can the Tenmoku-ryu create weapons out of thin air in an instant? If the swordsmith of Inazuma is so amazing, can't he make money easily?"

"How is it possible..." Xiaolu laughed dumbly, "Compared to the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning, the boss is a non-traditional swordsmith, and he seems to have some concerns about making money with projected weapons. You are his friends, so you should be able to notice it."

A non-traditional knife maker?

Ying and Paimon both nodded.

As for Xie Yan's concerns, Ying, as the boss's wife... ahem, as an employee, of course she knew. Although the projection used by Xie Yan seemed to be explained by the "ultimate power of dreams", it was a power outside of this world after all. If he used cheats to make money recklessly, he might be sanctioned.

Moreover, Xie Yan’s monthly transaction amount seemed to be limited, so there was no need to take the risk of swiping the card randomly.

And little Paimeng beside him had another crazy idea.

"Since the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning can't compare to Xie Yan, what about General Thunder and Lightning? Can she make weapons like Xie Yan?"

"I don't know, but the general is the source of Inazuma's swordsmithing technique. With her divine power, she should be able to do it."

Even a deer as smart as this one cannot fathom the realm of gods.

Ying was very awed by General Lei Dian. In the previous BOSS battle, she clearly felt the opponent's strength when she held the Dream Heart. It was true that even if she was in her prime, she would not be able to easily take on that Dream Heart.

In fact, the seven rulers of this world are all very powerful. It's a pity that King Dacishu was too kind-hearted before, and fell into Xie Yan's trap. He could only passively accept Inazuma's patriotic genes.

Xie Yan is really something. The Great Compassion Tree King’s divine power is clearly full, but he still continues to attack her!

Ying couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Nashida would be so sad if she knew that Xie Yan treated the Great Compassion Tree King like this.

But the next second, Ying quickly woke up and patted her face, saying that Huan Nalan had already agreed that it was all a dream, and it was rare that she got away from the party, so she should not think too much about it.

After calming down for a while, Ying looked into the distance. The ship was about to dock and the dock was bustling with people. It was much more lively than the last time she was there.

However, due to the limitations of Inazuma's economic size and resource level, the outlying islands are still far inferior to Liyue Harbor. No wonder Xie Yan has been studying how to expand Inazuma's industry.

As the ship approached, Ying and Paimon also heard the discussions at the dock.

"Has Lord Xie Yan become a god?"

"My uncle's sister-in-law's friend's classmate once talked to him. I knew at that time that he was not an ordinary person."

"Of course. Don't you see how noble Lord Xie Yan's bloodline is? Now that he's back, we don't have to worry about the monsters outside."

"Also, the swordsmiths in the city have recently received many orders from Liyue, and they haven't been completed yet. It should be easier with the arrival of Lord Xie Yan."

Along the way, Ying could clearly feel Xie Yan's reputation in Inazuma, and this was different from Xumi. Although the people of Xumi believed in him, they were more in awe of him, while the people of Inazuma were close to Xie Yan and could tell a lot of his past experiences when discussing him.

This is not a problem for the people of Xumi. After all, Xie Yan did not "wander around in the world" in Xumi. The people of Xumi believed in him and Nashida. To put it bluntly, they were seeking a sense of security and academic guidance. If they wanted to have the same faith as the people of Liyue had in the Emperor, it would take a long time to accumulate.

But for some reason, after hearing the various stories about Xie Yan from Dao's wife and fellow villagers, Ying began to have the urge to explore. She wanted to know more about Xie Yan.

No, it’s normal for employees to want to know their boss’ preferences, right?

She doesn't think of herself as the mistress. Don't forget that she still has to find her brother!

Shaking his head slightly, Ying and Paimon followed the deer off the boat.

Xiaolu instructed the soldiers who were accompanying him, "By the way, go and interrogate the suspicious person. I will come to find you after I go to the Kanding Bugyofu."

"Yes." The soldiers took the order and hurried away.

The outlying island's dock was not as spacious as Liyue Harbor's. It was quite crowded with various stalls and goods, which was even more obvious than when Ying arrived last time.

However, the senior management of Inazuma obviously noticed the problem. Workers were already carrying out repairs and expansion on the edge of the dock, and samurai were specially dispatched to the dock to maintain order.

Little Paimon likes lively places the most. When he arrived at the dock, he stuck his little head out to look around and exclaimed from time to time.

Although she knew that Paimon's identity was not simple, the journey would have been very monotonous without her company, and she might not have been able to get here yet. Seeing the little girl so happy, Ying's lips curled up slightly with a smile.

"If Paimon wants to go shopping, why don't we go for a walk outside first?"

Paimeng was looking at the goods at Fontaine, but when he heard the voice, he turned back and refused: "We can go shopping later, let's go to the Kanding Fengxing Mansion first. Aren't all these things on the island Xie Yan's?"

"You see things very clearly." Yingmei was speechless. Paimon was really good at greed for money.

Xiaolu joked: "Little Paimon is right. According to the law of Inazuma, everything here belongs to the boss, and the samurai stationed here are all his subordinates."
