Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

When she went to the Guardian Forest before and scared away the little monster, Ying realized that she and Inazuma were indeed out of touch. Even though she now has ministers to assist her, it does not mean that she can be lazy.

Since the people have been promised an eternal paradise, they must of course do their best. Otherwise, how can they be worthy of their faith?

"Okay, let's go for a walk outside together. Where do you plan to go first?" She turned to look at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan looked thoughtful. He and Ying were in tune with each other and he knew what she was thinking just by hearing her tone.

After a long while, he looked up and said, "Although I really want to go shopping with you first, Ying, you want to understand the people's thoughts and the shortcomings of Inazuma. How about this, let's go to the prison first. We just need to deal with the remaining people of the Kujo family."

Ying naturally followed his instructions and turned into lightning and flew into the air with Xie Yan.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Hanasari sighed sadly... She inherited the memory of Kitsusai Palace, and knew better than the Son of God how much the Shadow had changed in the past five hundred years.

She once gathered with her friends under the cherry trees, looked up at the sky, played games with everyone, practiced many times for victory, and cheered for the dessert she was rewarded with by Kitsai Palace. The carefree Ying at that time was her true self.

But as the nightmare came, Ying gave up his divine body and feelings in pursuit of eternity, wanting to bear everything alone, which was childish but also heartbreaking.

"But Your Highness, you are not alone. We will accompany you to witness the eternity of Inazuma." Hanasari withdrew her gaze.

In order to fulfill the wishes of his wife and people, the general transcended his own divinity and gave Xie Yan the opportunity to correct himself. Ying took on the responsibility of the God of Thunder and believed that he should not hesitate any longer.

"The Son of God seems to be lazy, but he must have sensed something. The surging earth veins are not only resurrecting monsters, I can also sense demonic energy."

"But the bloodline of the Inazuma monster is indeed about to be cut off. Those monster spirits are at most residual souls. Only the fox tribe has a chance to revive. The fox tribe that survived the disaster have all turned into stone statues."

Hanasari has a clear understanding of herself and intends to distinguish herself from Kitsunesai, but she must face the affairs of Gohyakuzo and the fox clan.

If all else fails, she can only temporarily borrow the identity of Huzai Palace.

I am the second Huzai Palace, the only one existing now!

.....

On the other side, the third level of Tianling Prison.

Tianling does not believe that the higher the level, the stronger the power. The number of levels is mainly determined by the identity of the prisoners. The third level is specifically used to imprison nobles.

A month ago, there were not many people on the third floor, and they were basically small nobles who were used as scapegoats. The situation did not change until the arrival of the Kujo family.

Of course, according to Inazuma's rules, even in prison, bloodline is important. The facilities in the third-floor cells are very good, meals are prepared by special chefs, and there are even simple furniture.

If ordinary people in Inazuma knew about this, they would probably think that these nobles who had committed crimes were coming to the prison for vacation.

But this is indeed the case. The aristocratic system is the foundation of the shogunate officials. Unless it comes to a fight to the death, even political enemies will leave each other a decent way out.

As soon as the Kujo family arrived, they were arranged in the best positions, but how could they, who were used to a life of luxury, get used to the environment of the prison cell?

boom!

The sound of fists hitting the wall rang out in the cell.

He hammered several times continuously as if to vent his anger, and only stopped when his fists were so painful that he couldn't lift them.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and his luxurious clothes had been replaced with prison uniforms. He no longer looked like the elegant and graceful nobleman he once was.

The other members of the Kujo family sat in their chairs with dejected looks, only Kujo Kamajima still had a resolute look.

Kujo Masahito's expression changed several times. After a long time, he sighed and returned to Kujo Kamajiro.

"Kamaji, do you think there is still hope for the Kujo family... The Shogun seems really angry." He frowned and his tone was full of insecurity.

Kujo Kamajima was stunned when he heard this. It was not because of the question directed at his brother, but because he was doubtful about him himself.

Although he was also good at handling government affairs, his elder brother was more favored by his father and was always trained by his father as the successor.

Kujo Kamajima felt a little disappointed, but he was a kind person and had great respect for his brother and father, so he just planned to assist his brother in the future to make the Kujo family prosperous.

But the truth is cruel. His father, whom he regarded as an idol, betrayed the faith of Narukami, colluded with outsiders, manipulated the war for profit, and sacrificed countless innocent soldiers of the shogunate army. His usually calm brother became a different person after entering prison and became brutal and cruel.

Although it was the Kujo family that betrayed the general, the elder brother believed that everything was caused by Xie Yan and Kujo Sara.

Especially when he learned that Kujo Sara took over the Tenryo Bugyo, not only did he not stop the Tenryo Bugyo, but he even successfully rectified the public security environment and won the praise of the people, which almost drove Kujo Masahito crazy.

Seeing that Kujo Kamajiro remained silent for a long time, Kujo Masahito said with a ferocious look: "Kamaji, you don't have to make excuses for her. If she hadn't submitted the evidence, how could the general have tried my father? It's all her fault!"

As for Xie Yan, Kujo Masahito also resented him at first, but Xie Yan returned yesterday and the news about him becoming a god had spread throughout the prison. How could Kujo Masahito dare to resent a god? He could only vent all his anger on his sister.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this. His father had always taught him that the weak were born to be trampled by the strong, so the Kujo family had to do everything they could to consolidate their position.

Kujo Masahito also agreed with his father's point of view. After all, manipulating war is not just to suck blood from the residents for profit, but more importantly to highly concentrate power through war and suppress dissidents.

After all, everyone wants to sit on the position of the Three Magistrates, and the seemingly loyal Takagi family has been making small moves. If we don't suppress them, are we going to watch the Kujo family's foundation being destroyed?

Kujo Kamajima took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to correct him: "Brother, you are misguided. Sara did this for the family. How could she hide her treason from the general? And now, she wants to change the impression of the Inami people on the Kujo family through her own efforts and wash away her father's stigma."

"What do you know!" Kujo Masahito shouted loudly, attracting the attention of other family members.

However, these people are all branches, and they usually rely on the power of the Kujo family to be arrogant and domineering. Now that they are demoted to prison, they have long lost their original spirit and can only watch Kujo Masahito get angry with trembling hands.

"If there was no solid evidence, how could the Kujo family end up in prison? Kamaji, you are in prison because of her!"

"No, I don't blame Sha Luo, she is right. If I knew that you and father were colluding with outsiders, I would definitely stand up to stop you!"

"Okay, I won't tell you this, but I can tell you that the better she does outside, the more incompetent our Kujo family will appear, and the General will have even less reason to let us go."

Kujo Kamajima fell silent. He understood what his brother meant.

Kujo Sara was only an adopted daughter and did not receive any support in the family. Her father adopted her just to keep a sword. But this sword was able to reorganize the Tenryo Bugyo in perfect order after coming to power. Doesn't this make them, the pure-blooded nobles, seem useless?

On the contrary, if the Tenryo Bugyo and the shogunate army ceased to function due to their absence, and Inazuma fell into deathly silence, the Shogun would allow them to continue to act as the Tenryo Bugyo even if he was unwilling.

but--

"Brother, if it were me, I would do the same... Putting the interests of the family above the interests of the Inazuma people, the Kujo family has made a big mistake."

"You are hopeless! If the Kujo family is gone, what are those damn people for?"

Kujo Masahito has fallen into madness. Just as his younger brother cannot understand him, he cannot understand Kujo Kamajiro's "weakness".

While the two were arguing, there was a sudden noise outside the cell.

Kujo Masahiro turned his head subconsciously, but when he saw who was coming, his pupils shrank instantly, and then he immediately knelt on his knees: "Greetings, General!"

The other members of the Kujo family also immediately knelt down and saluted. They all knew that a turning point in the family's fate was about to come.

Whether it will be like the Inazuma tradition of "the head of the family takes the blame and the family is safe", or become the target of destruction, all depends on the Shogun's decision.

But the prison guard who followed shouted sternly: "You must also pay respect to His Highness [Naobi Takemiya Sonme]!"

The Inazuma hierarchy is strict, even among the nobles, let alone an audience with the gods. The corresponding etiquette and rituals are extremely sophisticated. It is simply impossible for Inazuma to receive the public for interviews like Nashida did. The public would not have the courage to do so.

what?

Kujo Masahito and Kujo Kamajiro were stunned for a moment, but they reacted immediately and bowed to Xie Yan: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

But Xie Yan and Ying did not respond. They heard the conversation between the Kujo family clearly.

Ying stared at Kujo Masahiro, trying to find a trace of his ancestor in him, but unfortunately, thousands of years had passed and the hero's descendant had turned into this ugly appearance.

She has never been a good-tempered person. After listening to Kujo Masahiro's distorted values, she no longer intends to waste time talking to the Kujo family.

The soldiers of the shogunate army fought desperately on the battlefield, and the people of Inazuma were oppressed so much, it turned out that it was just to consolidate the political status of your Kujo family?

"I have a plan in mind for what to do with the Kujo family, but just like before, I will give you a chance." Ying looked at the cell guards beside him, "Give them a sword."

The guard immediately took off his sword and placed it in front of everyone in the Kujo family.

The light of grass and rice condensed in Ying's hand, and he said in a deep voice: "Pick up your weapon and look directly at me!"

Her tone was calm, but her fierce temperament seemed to make the temperature of the air drop.

Kujo Masahiro, who had just been complaining and wanted to shout to the sky to appeal for his grievances to the general, seemed to have suddenly become mute. He lowered his head like an ostrich and didn't even dare to look at where the sword was.

As the successor of Tenryo Bukyō, he certainly practiced martial arts.

but--

He didn't have the courage to draw his sword against the gods, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

The reason was not out of respect for the gods, but simply because he didn't dare... Just as Kujo Takayuki taught him, Kujo Masahito only knew that the strong oppressed the weak, and he did not have the courage to draw his sword against the stronger ones.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into deathly silence.

As Ying sighed softly and prepared to pronounce the verdict, Kujo Kamaji picked up the sword and stood in front of the family members.

His physique was not as strong as Kujo Masahito's, but he looked much more manly and like a warrior than the other.

"General, I know that my family has committed a heinous crime, and I am willing to accept any punishment, but I hope to regain honor for my family like Sara did, and do my best to contribute to Inazuma."

Ying looked at him seriously when she heard that. Although he was also disheveled, the determination in his eyes reminded her of the ancestor of the Kujo family.

After a brief pause, the shadow signaled Kujo Kamajima to attack.

He hesitated for a moment, but immediately swung his sword to meet the attack. Although Ying's sword moves seemed full of flaws, his indomitable momentum was eye-catching.

Ying swung his knife and knocked him down with the back of the knife.

"It seems that the honor has been passed down with the bloodline. Unfortunately, you are the only one in the Kujo family who has this awareness." Ying's eyes swept over the people in the Kujo family and suddenly turned around. "Those who are related to treason will be dealt with according to the law, and those who are not related will be demoted to commoners."

After that, she said nothing more and walked out of the cell with Xie Yan.

"Xie Yan, is the shogunate's system really wrong? Just like what the kid from Kamisato said today, the hereditary system is the epitome of eternity. I used to think so, but now it seems... Even if glory can be passed down, it still depends more on the person himself."

Ying really fell into self-doubt.

She was really pissed off by Kujo Takayuki last time, so she beheaded him in public and deliberately did not use elemental power, leaving his body behind as a warning to future generations, but she was actually more reassured about the Kujo family.

After all, for thousands of years, the Tenryo Bugyo had been led by the Kujo family, who seemed loyal, but who could have imagined that the descendants of the former heroes would become so corrupt that they would even commit treason in order to suppress dissidents.

Xie Yan knew she would ask this, so he held Ying's hand and said, "This is the disadvantage I want to tell you. Human nature is very complicated and cannot stand the test. That's why I want to design a monitoring mechanism."

"Well, I didn't understand your and Hanasari's purpose before, but now I understand. It turns out that you should come out and see more often, otherwise you won't know what's happening among the people and what they desire most."

"As for the eternal epitome you mentioned...external eternity is not long-lasting. The most important thing is the ideological inheritance."

"Is it necessary to change the shogunate's system to a seven-star, eight-gate model? You don't need to worry too much. A short pain is worse than a long one. If it is really necessary, I will fully support you."

Xie Yan's palm exerted a little force, as if to comfort Ying: "I know you are very anxious now, but no system is perfect. Even the Seven Stars and Eight Gates have their own shortcomings. Just like a child, the growth of a country is also gradual. These things will be witnessed in the future."

Ying did not answer. She suddenly had a new understanding of eternity.

In the past, I pursued the unchanging appearance, and Inazuma did seem to remain unchanged, but eventually she gradually decayed. However, what Xie Yan and Hanasari promoted was an Inazuma full of vitality. Although it seemed to change, the inner spirit seemed to be passed down.

She felt her faith become stronger. This path would never be wrong... Perhaps, the decisive battle with the general would have to be brought forward.

"Okay, let's put an end to the bad mood for now. It's time for our date. Relax and see the real changes in Inazuma." Xie Yan pulled Ying teleported away.

After returning to the castle tower, Xie Yan planned to take Ying on a tour from top to bottom, so they passed by the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed Statue, and then came to the town street first.

Machi Street has always been the most lively street in Inazuma. In addition to local vendors, there are many foreign shops, and even specialty hot spring shops from Nata.

After the lifting of the isolation order, a large number of merchants came from various countries, making the town even more prosperous than before. When you walk nearby, you can see many fireworks in front of some newly opened stores.

Xie Yan hadn't been to this side of the town street for a long time. He looked around with surprise on his face.

"Selling Nata special skewers, three yuan a skewer, ten yuan for three skewers, you'll make a profit if you buy one!"

"Mondstadt Wind Wing Experience Hall, enjoy high-quality service with 0 negative reviews, may the wind god fool you!"

The novel products obviously attracted the attention of the people of Inazuma, and the business of these shops was pretty good, but Xie Yan discovered that quite a few foreign tourists also came to Inazuma's place.

God have mercy on me. The security in this damn place called Inazuma used to be so bad that even the nomads could camp outside the village. Except for poor kids like Airani who had to write papers or adventurers, there were usually no tourists in Inazuma.

And now it seems that the tourists seem to be quite satisfied with Inazuma. Xie Yan even saw a few guided tour groups.

Thinking about it this way, the public security management implemented by Tenryo is indeed very effective. After cleaning up Mingjin Island, it will be much easier to attract investment and develop tourism than before.

Ying's attention was focused on the newly opened branch of Yaedo. Although the shops in the town street were expensive, Yaedo had Kamiko as its backer, so it was very easy to open a branch. What's more, the light novel was also a major economic pillar of Inazuma, so it was natural for it to receive subsidies.

Her arrival undoubtedly caused a sensation. Foreigners could not recognize her, but the Inazi people knew that this was their general. The originally bustling shop fell silent in an instant.

It’s not that I’m afraid, but anyone would be at a loss as to what to do if they saw the god they believed in suddenly appear next to them.

Ying looked stunned, as if she had not expected such a result. Xie Yan explained, "I am on a date with the general. You don't have to be so reserved. This is not an inspection."

Dating?

After he said that, the quiet atmosphere in the store became even more obvious. But once it calmed down a little, the silence was quickly replaced by curiosity and gossip. So, gods also go on dates?

The humanity displayed by the two gods made everyone less reserved. Although they still didn't dare to speak, there were already some whispers.

Ying's cheeks inexplicably turned red when Xie Yan mentioned the date. Seeing the inquiring eyes of her subjects, she felt a little shy, so she turned sideways and pretended to look up light novels, and selected the one with the best sales.

"'I Reincarnated as the Thunder General and Resurrected the Prince's Husband!' What the hell is this?" Ying didn't expect the name of the best-selling book to be so outrageous, and opened it with curiosity.

The title of the first chapter is, Resurrection, My Love!
