but--

Seeing Hua Sanli acting calmly and confidently as herself, Xie Yan knew that she had completely figured things out, and this was something worth celebrating.

The general then turned around and asked, "Hua Sanli, why did you come to see me?"

"There are two things. One is about the treatment of the remaining members of the Kujo family. Although the head of the family, Kujo Takayuki, and the main people involved have been beheaded, you ordered the entire Kujo family to be imprisoned because Kujo Takayuki refused to confess. Now ordinary officials cannot judge them, so they can only seek help from above."

"Second, regarding the recent public security work, the shogunate army has carried out a sweep of the wild ambush in the Narukami Island area. There are so many of these wild ambush that they have almost filled up the prison. Among them are two swordsmiths who specialize in forging evil swords. In order to enhance the evil energy of their swords, they actually ran to the desolate sea area to look for the remains of the pitch-black disaster."

Hua Sanli talked freely. She also knew the general's difficulties in government affairs, so she went out of her way to introduce the whole story.

Comfortable!

The general nodded approvingly: "Very good, you and Xie Yan are both very sensible."

Looking back, the two old foxes, Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki, had fooled her many times before. The two did not dare to lie, but they deliberately concealed many things for their own interests, resulting in the general not even knowing the situation of the rebels.

Just when the general had finally dealt with a bunch of things, Hua Sanli brought two more things, which made him a little overwhelmed.

The fox spirit has always been good at observing people's expressions. Hua Sanli suddenly smiled and said, "However, now that our Wangfu is back, we can leave these two things to him. With his identity and status, no one dares to question his ability to handle any mundane affairs."

"Xie Yan, what do you think?"

"No problem, but since there will be a meeting at the evaluation office tomorrow, why not just discuss it at the meeting first? I want to see what level the shogunate officials are at."

Xie Yan had only participated in one meeting after taking office, but the impression left on him by the shogunate officials at that time was not very good. After dealing with Liyue's Seven Stars and Eight Sects, he felt that they were even worse.

After confirming it tomorrow, Xie Yan plans to start establishing a monitoring mechanism, which is the "Dark Department".

After telling the general and Hua Sanli about this idea, the general was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded expressionlessly and said, "Xie Yan, you are right."

Her silly and cute look as if the computer is down is so adorable.

Hey, General, do you think I don't see that you are pretending to know something you don't?

I understand everything.jpg

Hanasari knew the importance of supervision, but when she was in charge of Inazuma, the political environment of the shogunate was very good. She was like Ganyu, and all matters of the shogunate had to be reviewed by her. No matter how stupid those officials were, they would not go against an immortal.

As for now... after a month, she has deeply realized the weakness of the shogunate, and Xie Yan's decision is correct.

She and Xie Yan began to discuss enthusiastically. Because Xie Yan had received modern education, he had a long-term vision and many of his ideas made Hua Sanli's eyes light up. In addition to supervision, the two discussed issues such as talent and education. Before they knew it, the sky had darkened.

In order to maintain his dignity, the general pretended to know the answers and sometimes even asked a few questions out loud.

However, it was already late, and Xie Yan refused to stay in the castle tower overnight, so the sparring match they had agreed on was undoubtedly ruined, which made the general look quite resentful.

"After the meeting tomorrow, I will discuss matters with the general first." Xie Yan patted his chest and promised.

The general nodded: "That's more like it. Well, if that's the case, you can go back first. I'm going to practice martial arts... Although I'm shaken, I will still fight her with all my strength."

Giving your all is the best respect among warriors.

After watching the two figures fly towards the island, the general walked towards the training ground.

She was a little uncomfortable with the touch of black stockings, but the general thought that she was the most precious and noble person, so she was not willing to change back into stockings by herself. If anyone wanted to change, it had to be Xie Yan herself.

But at this moment, there was suddenly some movement in the Pure Land of One Mind.

Ying's consciousness spread out from the Pure Land. Although she was comprehending the laws, she would occasionally come out to check the situation.

This sight made her dizzy.

"General, what's on your leg?"

"This is the reward Xie Yan requested. He insisted that I wear this. Considering your relationship with him, I asked him to put it on me himself. It feels good, but I'm a little uncomfortable with it. And Xie Yan, he actually stopped practicing martial arts to study this kind of tricks."

The general stated the situation in a calm tone.

Ying knew that what she said was true, but somehow, she always felt like the general was showing off.

Why does he insist on you wearing this?

He wanted to see me wearing black stockings! That's why he practiced secretly behind my back!

Sensing Ying's mood swings, the general wondered, "What do you mean by that? Didn't you say that you and I are one? If he helps me put on my clothes, isn't that the same as helping you put them on?"

"How can this be the same? Then on our wedding night, will you also help me?"

"If it's too much trouble for you, I can indeed do it for you."

Ying was silenced by the general.

Rebellion, rebellion, General Lei Dian dares to devour his master!

She knew that the general had no intention of competing with her, but seeing that the general was just a puppet but was more charming than herself, and the tricks he played made her amazed, Ying couldn't help but feel that she was a bit of a failure.

You can't say that next time I want to flirt with Xie Yan, I have to ask the general to help me with the foreplay, right?

Failed, too failed!

But after sighing for a while, Ying suddenly noticed a change in the general.

The eternity that she had set as the most fundamental program actually broke the restrictions silently.

She knew better than Xie Yan what this phenomenon of "transcending one's own divinity" meant.

"General, you..."

"This is not my power, it is the wish of the Inami people."

"I see. That's right. It's because I faced the wishes of my people and believed in their possibilities that I embarked on a new path... and the same is true for you."

"I hope this is the right path. You and I both know what the original intention of setting up eternity is. Inazuma can't become the next Kanreya."

"Well, General, I will prove it to you."

.....

the other side.

Kanding Bugyofu.

Ying survived the "Hongmen Banquet" with great difficulty, and even the greedy little Paimeng restrained his greedy nature.

But this was just the beginning. After Ying rested for a while after dinner, she was taken to explore the private hot spring of the Magistrate's Mansion. According to Madam Coral Palace, this was a surprise she specially left for Xie Yan.

Ying was in a heavy mood. She had already sensed the sharp confrontation hidden beneath Xin Hai's gentle words at the dinner. Now entering the hot spring would probably be another torture. She didn't know when Xie Yan would be able to come back.

No, it’s better not to come back. This is Xie Yan’s private hot spring. If he comes back later, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to have a party?

And compared to these...

Ying, who had just taken off her clothes, suddenly lowered her head.

Her powers were already full from yesterday's party, and the patterns of the grass element glowed with a faint emerald glow, which made her feel more satisfied just by looking at it than before.

But because the contract was renewed once, a "一" character appeared next to the grass element pattern, which is the first stroke of the character "正".

"Wait, I have to renew my contract four times a month, doesn't that mean... there are exactly five strokes to make up the correct character?"

Xie Yan, is this also part of your calculation?

Xinhai Hot Spring.jpg

6 Is mixed bathing in private hot springs normal?

Xie Yan didn't know that Yingmei actually questioned the "正" mark. This matter was not really his fault.

At that time, seeing that Yingmei had integrated so well into the party, he thought about signing a permanent contract. Later, the Great Ci Tree King secretly hinted to him, and he changed it to a short-term contract of one month.

Honestly speaking, Xie Yan still didn't understand what she meant... A short-term contract needs to be renewed every week, wouldn't that make it very troublesome?

After much thought, Xie Yan could only assume that the Great Compassion Tree King wanted to let Yingmei go.

Alas, the Great Tree King is a very good person, but it is a pity that he always likes to hold back. Even when he was tied up like that, he still did not forget to guide him, giving Xie Yan the illusion that a "female knight is teaching an orc on the spot."

Although Xie Yan did win the fight with the help of her guidance, he always felt that the victory was unfair.

Forget it, I'll go back and persuade her next time, and be careful not to let Nashida know.

As for the party that Yingmei is worried about...it’s more lively when there are more people!

After leaving the castle tower with Hanasari, Xie Yan did not teleport back directly, but flew with her because he wanted to observe the direction of the Inazuma vein.

Although Xie Yan had glanced at Hua Sanli for a while before, his attention was still on official business at that time. It was only when he got outside that he realized that this white-haired fox was quite attractive.

Different from the Son of God who is beautiful with a hint of playfulness, Hua Sanli's elegance is matched by the calmness of a master strategist. Even the extremely scheming Ningguang seems a little immature compared to her.

But as the saying goes, living in a place changes one's temperament and raising a child changes one's body, it is not surprising that Kitsusai-gū, as a core figure of the old Inazuma system, has such a magnanimous temperament.

"Speaking of your tail, Hanasari..." Xie Yan's gaze fell behind her.

The furry white tail swayed gently, and just by looking at it, one could imagine how wonderful it felt... Xie Yan had already experienced the Son of God's tail. If he held it while sleeping, it could be said to be warmer than holding a person.

Of course, Xie Yan wouldn't be that stupid.

Hanasari looked back and smiled faintly, "You want to ask me why I don't hide my tail like Shenzi? In the past, the Inazuma tribes lived in peace, and the demon characteristics did not bring any strange looks. Shenzi's demon bloodline was almost cut off after the black disaster. She wanted to mix in human society, so she naturally had to be more restrained."

"Is that so? If things continue to develop like this, Inazuma might become like Liyue, and become repulsive to non-human things."

"That's natural. Even when the Kitsai Palace existed, humans and other races still had conflicts... This is normal. Humans are constantly fighting among themselves, so how can they completely trust other races?"

Unlike the previous times they met, Hanasarashi now has clearly integrated into Inazuma's system and no longer questions her own existence.

In order to help Xie Yan understand the situation more quickly, she explained carefully: "Ordinary people can only learn about monsters through stories passed down by word of mouth and records in books, but historical legends can be distorted. In addition, there have been very few monsters appearing in the world in the past few hundred years, so of course there will be a gap over a long period of time."

Xie Yan nodded slightly. The Inazuma people were very accepting of foreign objects because the generals under General Raiden were basically all big monsters. But time can smooth everything out. After the death of Miyu Chiyo, the ghost clan had to sacrifice the blue ghost clan in order to integrate into human society.

"So, you intend to continue to perform your duties as Kitsunayari and coordinate the Inazuma situation?"

"I will fulfill part of it, and the rest will be left to you and the Son of God... This is a necessary inheritance. Just like what we said to the general before, it is wrong to carry everything alone. External things will always decay, and only this kind of inner inheritance is eternal."

Hua Sanli knew that Xie Yan was now in the transformation period of becoming a god. Although she herself was unable to guide him in terms of strength, as an elder, she felt that it was necessary for her to teach Xie Yan some things about governing a country and the perspective of the immortal species.

As for the fact that Shen Zi had previously prevented me from having too much contact with Xie Yan...who told you to go back to Ming Shen Taisha and slack off now?

My junior was lazy and slacking off, so the vixen senior replaced him in the responsibility of teaching Xie Yan. He was so angry that he broke down and cried and made a fuss, so pitiful.

But Hua Sanli was just joking in her heart, she had no intention of stealing someone else's love. In her eyes, Xie Yan and Shen Zi were both juniors, but the situation was delicate now, and Shen Zi might not be able to grasp the direction correctly, so she still had to guide him.

Well, although Shen Zi was already "awesome" last time and snatched away her chance to replenish her magic.

But as the saying goes, a calf is not a cow, so this matter cannot be blamed on her!

Xie Yan’s water is too deep, Son of God, you can’t grasp it!

Thinking of this, Hanasari suddenly changed direction and headed back towards Inazuma Castle. Today he happened to have something that could be used as teaching material.

Xie Yan didn't understand why but followed anyway, leaving two purple tracks in the night sky.

"Where is this going?"

"Just now at the castle tower, I mentioned that there were two swordsmiths who forged evil swords. Normally, this matter should be handed over to the shrine magistrate for handling, but I thought that the five traditions of thunder and lightning were almost extinct, and there were swordsmiths who went astray, so I thought of letting the general handle it, and use this matter to implement new laws and clean up the forging industry in Inazuma."

After hearing Hua Sanli explain his ideas from the perspective of a decision maker, Xie Yan suddenly realized. He had previously thought that Hua Sanli was making a fuss out of nothing, but he didn't expect that this was just an introduction.

He nodded slightly. "Although I came back this time to improve the functionality of the shogunate army's equipment, I can't stop forging. This time, Inazuma and Liyue signed a large order. With the production capacity of the swordsmiths, I'm afraid it hasn't been completed yet."

"Not only that, after the Inazuma lockdown ended, all the countries except Zhidong wanted to come to Inazuma to purchase weapons. You should have heard about it when you were in Xumi."

"Well, the Ministry of Education was cooperating with Inazuma at that time, so it was so smooth for Sara to go there. But now there are so many orders... Do you want me to use my projection ability to help?"

As the two were talking, they had already arrived above the Tianling Bugyo Prison. Hua Sanli was about to land immediately, but suddenly stopped when she heard Xie Yan's words.

Her expression became much more serious.

"Xie Yan, I don't know if your abuse of the power outside this world will cause trouble, but you cannot interfere with the weapons order."

"This is what I want to teach you today. Although you have a position in the shogunate, you have never been a mortal official. You are a being who is about to become a god, and maybe even the next Thunder God. If you have to solve everything, the people of Inagaki will never grow."

Xie Yan was not a fool. After Hua Sanli's earnest words, he suddenly realized: "I understand. Just like the shogunate officials subconsciously believe that the general can cover the bottom line, so they act recklessly. If I do too much, it can indeed solve the problem in the short term, but they will no longer have the ambition to make progress."

He originally wanted to wait until he was strong enough to send down a tree world to Qinglai Island for rapid infrastructure construction, but now he immediately stopped thinking about it.

The situation in each country is different. Because of problems with the inheritance of the throne of God, Xumi has a gap in combat power. Therefore, Xie Yan needs to show miracles and demonstrate the power of God to calm people's hearts. This has also been affirmed by the Great Compassion Tree King. After all, he has even solved the thousand-year-old problem of the desert.

But Inazuma has never lacked military force. Unlike other countries, Inazuma is isolated overseas and close to the Dark Sea where countless defeated demons are hidden. The fact that General Raiden can establish a country here shows how powerful he is.

For Inazuma, the best development model is to learn from Liyue, whose gods are equally powerful. While maintaining a high level of faith, the gods should let go appropriately and only give some suggestions periodically, leaving the specific implementation to the mortals themselves.

Otherwise, if someone were like Inazuma who said, "It doesn't matter, the Shogun will take action," then the shogunate officials would be doomed to not do their best and would be lucky if they could avoid giving up.

An old bastard like Kujo Takayuki can even use the excuse of "Wuxiang is invincible with one sword" to paralyze himself, as if he is a parasite who manipulates wars for profit and is a loyal minister. He is really shameless to a certain extent.

From this perspective, the old man who founded Liyue's political system was indeed far-sighted! Liyue's model is indeed the most reasonable form of a theocratic kingdom.

Seeing Xie Yan's thoughtful look, Hanasari nodded with satisfaction: "In fact, the division of the three magistrates was also considered in the past. Although it was jointly decided by Kitsunesaigong and Shin, it was just a preliminary suggestion. The specific implementation was carried out by the three magistrates themselves, so as to keep the shogunate vibrant. However, the two of them died one after another, causing the Inazuma system to completely collapse, which led to a sharp turn for the worse."
