Although she secretly regretted it now, after all, she had used the fox fairy body of the Son of God to fight Xie Yan, but she could not force the other party to sublimate to the extreme. Now that Xie Yan has obtained the secret of the word "fighting", wouldn't it be even more difficult to control him?

Fortunately, Shen Zi did not think too much. She stretched, without even putting away her pink fox tail, and walked forward with her long legs to wash up. Ying instructed the general: "You can practice martial arts by yourself later."

"Okay." The general nodded slightly, "Aren't you going to wash up with the Son of God?"

"I don't need to rinse my mouth."

"I see."

The general looked surprised, but Hanasari was stunned for a second or two before she reacted.

I’ll test it, and hopefully next time I’ll understand the spells in seconds!

But having said that, Hua Sanli couldn't help but feel emotional about Ying and Xie Yan's married life. She didn't expect that the relationships among them would be so harmonious that even she couldn't help but blend in.

Ugh, she doesn't want it!

After waiting for the Son of God for a while, everyone left the Pure Land together. Xie Yan took a look at today's agenda in the middle.

In fact, he knew without even watching that, although he had parties, he never neglected his government affairs. He was well aware of Inazuma's development and had already discussed it with his aides such as Kamiko and Hanasari, and even Ayato's brother-in-law. The meeting was just to notify various departments to cooperate with the work.

"In this respect, the shogunate is better than Liyue. Once a policy is implemented, the results can be seen on the same day. Unlike Liyue, even if Ningguang makes the final decision, if there is a conflict of interest, the seven stars and eight sects will hinder each other." Xie Yan thought.

Through the intensified version of the void, he had a fairly good understanding of the situations in Liyue, Xumi, and Mondstadt, and knew about some recent changes in Liyue: after he left, Ningguang showed the trump card that Mora could produce normally to resist the attack of the Fatui, and through the evidence collected by Ye Lan, he uncovered some rare facts in the Liyue Chamber of Commerce. Overall, the situation was under Ningguang's control.

But as Ningguang said to Xie Yan before, things have come to this point, the rich man has completed his task, for them, it would be best to get the opportunity to study the divine body of the Rock King, if not, it would not be a loss, so they should not be so angry that they release the demon god again, that would be courting death.

The old man would not intervene, on the premise that it was a struggle between mortals. If a war between gods really came to be, Morax, who once suppressed all the demon gods in Liyue alone, would not mind going to the Kingdom of Winter. The Queen might be able to block the first Heaven-shaking Star, but what about the second one?

Although the Fatui have restrained themselves a lot, problems within Liyue still exist. Xie Yan said this before because it has been verified. Keqing proposed the concept of sustainable development at the meeting and called for slowing down the development of the Chasm. This topic was met with a lot of opposition as soon as it was raised, and even Ningguang couldn't suppress it.

Liyue's foundation is ore. No matter whether it is luxury goods or alchemy and weapon forging materials, they are all closely related to the Layered Chasm. The closure of Liyue for nearly half a year due to the outflow of black mud has caused serious losses. Now that the problem of Layered Chasm has been solved, how can those bigwigs miss this opportunity to make up for the losses?

To take a step back, even if they are willing, their subordinates will not agree. The mineral industry to Liyue is like the swordsmithing industry to Inazuma. It is the pillar of the country. Even if Liyue's industrial system is much richer, the jobs it provides and the related interest chains are immeasurable. This will make countless people unemployed and cause turmoil in Liyue.

Keqing's suggestions at this juncture almost blocked everyone's financial path.

The top leaders of the Seven Stars and Eight Sects did not even try to stop it, but simply "accidentally" leaked the topic to the outside world. Keqing has become the target of public criticism, and the policy has been sealed indefinitely.

This was exactly the reason why Zhongli was in trouble in the first place. If the problem could be easily solved, there would be no need for him to seal up Brother Tuozi, who was his brother who had been with him through thick and thin for thousands of years.

The contradiction between man and nature is so cruel.

Xie Yan couldn't think of a solution for the time being, fortunately Inazuma's condition was much better.

Inazuma is poor, but that also means he is very malleable. If he starts to enrich his industrial system now, the conflicts he will face in the future will not be so exaggerated. As for the dissatisfaction caused by the changes to the old system, his status is enough to suppress all dissatisfaction.

Besides, he did not simply bring losses to people. Although the talisman factory, the simplified Yin-Yang magic system, and the new sword-forging industry provided some channels for advancement, they did not shake the foundation of the hereditary system. Instead, they created a new big cake for everyone.

At least before the new cake is divided, the interests of Inazuma and his subordinates are still consistent, so there will be no internal friction.

Various plans flashed through his mind. Xie Yan took Shen Zi and Hua Sanli through the corridor and went to the meeting room of the evaluation institute. The general went to the martial arts field in the backyard to continue practicing. Ying thought for a moment and decided to go see Lei Dianzhen.

Like Hanasari, she also found it difficult to understand Raiden Makoto's behavior. She was clearly just trying to test herself and Shen Zi harshly because everyone was under pressure from Buyer, but now she was chatting enthusiastically with Buyer.

It's impossible that he really wants to form an alliance with Buyer because the general is so powerful, right?

Ying knew this was too fake without any verification. He really acknowledged Xie Yan as his sworn brother.

When they arrived at the side courtyard of the castle tower, they happened to see a few maids coming out. The moment they saw Ying, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaimed: "Wasn't the general still in there just now?"

But since it was about the general, they didn't dare to ask too much. Ying's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. When Lei Dianzhen was still alive, this situation was not uncommon. Some people even guessed that there were two generals.

But why didn’t her sister come to see her during this period?

With doubts, Ying walked into the yard. At this time, she could already hear the conversation between Zhen and Buyer, and Nashida was also here.

She was reviewing the progress of Xumi's research through the void. After her and the Great Compassionate Tree King's deliberate guidance, the research of various major schools finally changed from theoretical to practical, assisting the development of the country's productivity, and alchemy, a broad subject, was quite suitable. Currently, the Su Lun School has developed a scientific device that can store elemental power and release elemental combat skills by disassembling the equipment of the Fatui and combining some knowledge of the Order Institute.

Although there are still many limitations, such as the need to pre-load the corresponding spells, the device is not yet stable enough, etc., but this means that ordinary people can also use elemental combat skills, which is undoubtedly a shortcut for the weak Xumi.

But Nashida also had many doubts. If the hard training process was skipped through technological means, it would undoubtedly cause many people to lack the will to fight. She planned to ask her brother Xie Yan about these things.

Don’t let Kiana use this kind of technological device to cheat in exams in the future!

However, when she saw Lei Dianying coming over, she stopped temporarily.

"Aunt Lei Dian, please come in!" Nashida ran over and began to lead the way.

Ying originally wanted to chat with Nashida to ask about the situation, but Nashida turned her head from time to time to look at her beautiful face after being watered. Her emerald eyes looked at her as if she were her brother's wife, which made Ying a little uncomfortable and she had to remain silent.

At this moment, Raiden Zhen and Buyer, who were dressed and looked the same as her, walked out of the room together.

In discussing the alliance with Buyer these days, Lei Dian has already grasped the essence of the old tree's twisted roots, and the only thing left is the final practice.

pity--

Just like Buyer at the beginning, she couldn't let go of the shameless old man who ate the young cow with grass, so she had to at least be a little roundabout.

After seeing the film, I suddenly had an idea.

Lei Dianzhen took the initiative to step forward and said, "Ying, why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you, sister. In the past, sister would handle government affairs at this time, and I would stand by and protect her. But now I am not used to it."

"So that's how it is... But the current ruler of Thunder is Xie Yan. Now that I have relieved myself of the heavy responsibility, it would be better for me not to interfere too much."

Zhen smiled gently. This was the truth. Even though everyone would discuss among themselves, the transfer of power must be decisive to the outside world, otherwise the wife and people of Inagaki would be confused about whose orders to follow.

Ying nodded slightly, thoughtfully; she understood this principle.

"But I'm still very curious about Inazuma's current situation. My previous perspective was limited after all." Lei Dianzhen said unobtrusively, and then changed the subject: "The best way is naturally to tour Inazuma City with Xie Yan, but our two sisters appearing together will cause a lot of discussion. How about I date you as you... ahem, I travel as you."

Unexpectedly, Ying was not fooled into agreeing immediately. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her deeply.

Extra 3: Raiden joins the 8K ranking!

Today, Ying is no longer the Iron player who starts with "Are you there?" and ends with "Good night". The General has told her with practical actions that the former will turn into a clown, and the latter will get the classic reply of "I'm going to take a shower".

Even though Xie Yan himself didn't care much about these things, Ying knew that if he continued to maintain his Black Iron rank, sooner or later someone would covet his position as the eldest wife, just like now.

Swap identities? Let me watch you and Xie Yan gain points?

Just thinking about that picture, Ying couldn't hold it in... She could accept the general because they were from the same family. The general was like another herself, and there seemed to be no difference. Even if they had a child, the test results would be the same.

Wait, if it’s my sister, she can probably do it too?

No, that's not right. If this continues, it will be wrong! Don't let my sister like to watch Xie Yan and Buyer score again. Doesn't that prove that we, Inazuma, have special fetishes?

Ying hesitated for a moment, then quickly denied the idea. She looked at Lei Dianzhen with a half-smile: "Sister, when did you have this idea?"

After confirming that my sister also wanted to join the party, some of the previous weird things were explained... No wonder my sister wanted to possess Xie Yan to test herself and the Son of God when they met for the first time.

"What is this idea..." Raiden really showed his unique toughness as a thunder type, saying, "You think too much. I really just want to take a good look at the changes in Inazuma now, and using your identity will undoubtedly make things much easier."

At this time, she still held on to a glimmer of hope, praying that Ying was still in the Black Iron rank.

But seeing that her sister still had a half-smile on her face, she knew she couldn't hide it today.

But how could she admit this? Wouldn't this expose her desire to get points on behalf of Ying? It was embarrassing to feel like a sister turned into a sister.

You can't say that Ying and Shen Zi both have the same weird habit of watching others gain points, right?

Lei Dianzhen first ruled out this most unlikely option, bit his lip lightly and turned his gaze to Buyer next to him, hoping that his allies could provide some support.

However--

Before Buyer could speak, Lei Dianzhen saw his sister shaking her head meaningfully, leaving a sentence "Sister, you can do whatever you want" and turned away.

Do you think we can do it?

Lei Dian was stunned where he stood, unsure of what Ying was thinking. Buyer seemed to be thinking about something, because acquiescence was already an attitude.

But this is not surprising. The Raiden sisters are inseparable. Shin said before that she was worried about destroying the sisterhood, but in the final analysis, she was just unable to save face. As long as she shows her willingness, no one in Inazuma's harem will refuse her.

The Great Compassion Tree King could empathize with this. She was too embarrassed to let the old grass eat the young cow.

Whenever she recalled the past, the Great Compassion Tree King could pat her chest and assure her that even though she always told Xie Yan "this is the last time", she was sincere the previous times.

Really!

It is verified to be true and is judged to be truer than thunder and lightning.

She still has a strong sense of bottom line and backbone!

Lian Yingmei’s supreme bone was able to be reborn because of her!

Therefore, the Great Compassion Tree King advised with the tone of an experienced person: "With your status, you don't have to worry about integrating in."

"I understand. We are a family. Ying and the general won't mind. The main thing is the position of the eldest wife. Sigh..."

"It doesn't matter if we can't win for now. We still have enough time anyway."

Buyer looked far-reaching. She had never thought that the alliance with the general would produce immediate results. They were all immortals, so a temporary victory or defeat didn't matter. Maybe the next generation would have a chance to reverse the outcome?

It's decided to be you, Kiana! Test the general's daughter!

But this was just a joke. She had exchanged views with the general before. The position of the eldest wife was actually a small embellishment in everyone's life. There was no need to take it too seriously. Besides, everyone was divided into war zones by country and basically would not meet each other in normal times.

In comparison, she was more worried about the situation on Xumi's side. The experience of being tortured by Nilu was still lingering in her mind... Perhaps, she could form an alliance with Cole and use her natural green body to enhance herself?

After being persuaded, Lei Dianzhen felt much more at ease. Well, with her relationship with Shen Zi and Ying, she could quickly move up in rank by flexibly teaming up.

Then, the biggest obstacle would be how to confess to Xie Yan, but she could learn from Buyer in this regard and bring into play her own ability as a veteran actor, letting Xie Yan beat Zhou Ben to slowly lower his bottom line, and her own fighting ability was average, so it would be even easier to implement.

The Great Compassion Tree King seemed to have sensed her thoughts and frowned as he said, "The same trick may not work a second time."

She was not worried that Lei Dian would really fail, but she was mainly afraid that Xie Yan would settle accounts with her after she was exposed. Xie Yan was no longer a silver player now.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Lei Dianzhen waved his hand, looking confident.

Seeing her so confident, Buyer didn't say anything more. She thought that since Lei Dian had been spying on Xie Yan for so long, it shouldn't be a problem for him to play in the gold league.

Lei Dianzhen didn't dwell on this matter. She glanced at Nashida who was working remotely next to her and asked, "When do you plan to return to Xumi?"

"Originally, I was thinking of taking Nashida around. After all, we have the ability to teleport and can handle most government affairs through the void. But now that the Xumi Alchemy project has made some progress and I have some things to do, I plan to leave tonight."

"So fast? Wait, have you found a way to restore your soul?"

"That's right. When I merged with Xie Yan, I realized the secret of the art of reincarnation many times. You have cooperated with me in studying it for a while in the past few days. Although I can't perform reincarnation independently, it is not difficult to restore my own soul."

Like the Great Compassion Tree King and the Incarnation of Disaster, they are unable to truly crack the function of the Samsara Eye, but if the requirements are lowered and only some aspects are borrowed, it can still be done. This gave Xie Yan inspiration when she was tracing back.

However, this operation is more delicate. Although Xie Yan's divinity has improved, his control over power is still weaker than that of himself, the genuine incarnation of the World Tree. Even with the help of Nashida, it will not work. He can only do it himself.

Lei Dianzhen knew the difficulty of the resurrection match best, and said with concern: "You can't be careless about matters concerning the soul, and given your condition, you won't even have a chance to make up for it if you make a mistake. Let's discuss it and act later."

"Don't worry, I've talked to Xie Yan and Nashida about this." Buyer smiled and blinked. After feeling that Lei Dian really cared about her, the awkwardness of good sisters turning into bad sisters suddenly disappeared. "They will be watching from the side. If anything goes wrong, they will use the power of time to force it to stop."

"Okay, just ask if you need help." Lei Dianzhen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It was hard for her to be nervous when her best friend became her best friend.

But if you think about it carefully, this doesn’t seem so bad?

.....

Assessment Institute.

Today is the second meeting since Xie Yan ascended the throne, and the topics to be discussed are quite important, so all the officials of the shogunate arrived early.

However, Inazuma has always been particular about the order of hierarchy, and the castle tower is the residence of gods. Even though it feels a bit numb after standing for a long time, everyone still tries to remain quiet as much as possible.

However, when they saw Xie Yan walking out of the inner gate with two fox fairy palace officials, all the officials in the shogunate were stunned for a moment.

Although Yae Shenzi had washed herself carefully, the blush on her pretty face that had not yet faded was still hard to conceal. Hua Sanli felt the afterglow with her, and her expression changed a little. At this time, the two of them walked out with Xie Yan, giving people the impression that the two palace officials had been watered by rain and dew together last night.

Everyone has long known about the relationship between Yae Miyabi and Xie Yan, but no one expected that even Hanasari Miyabi was involved. It seems that the rumors are not groundless... So, did Hanasari Miyabi also offer tea to Lady Coral Miyabi?

Feeling everyone's gazes, Hua Sanli was stunned for a moment, feeling mixed emotions. She hadn't lie down yet!

A big party is considered a small party, a small party is not considered a party, and if you are not pregnant, you have not had a party!

The Son of God on the side curled her lips but said nothing. She had already realized that she, who was at the bronze level, had no chance of becoming the eldest wife. It would be better to gain more points than to compete with Lei Dianzhen or the general... Moreover, she also knew that the bond between her and Xie Yan was completely different from that of others, as Xie Yan was cultivated by her.

Although her identity as a half-master made her feel a little embarrassed when Xie Yan injected the Inazuma patriotic gene into her, Shen Zi was still quite proud when she thought that she was the person Xie Yan was most familiar with.

Feeling proud for a while, she suddenly noticed Xie Yan's suggestive look, which was telling her that the meeting could begin.

Although the shogunate now has an additional supervisory mechanism, it has generally restored the ancient system. The Narukami Taisha Shrine is once again involved in the shogunate's decision-making. The status of the two chief priests is higher than that of the three magistrates. They serve as Xie Yan's secretary and preside over meetings and coordinate all parties.

When it comes to detailed division of labor, the shogunate is certainly far inferior to the Seven Stars and Eight Ministries, but with Xie Yan in charge, this system of one-man decision-making appears to be very efficient. As Kamiko announced the start of the meeting, Hanasari took out the documents and read out the agenda step by step. The Three Bugyo and lower-level officials then began to report and accept work assignments. The whole process was very smooth.

Of course, there will certainly be some troubles in the actual implementation of the policy, but because the shogunate's powers and responsibilities are clear, there will be little wrangling and buck-passing between departments. Even if things are not done well, they can be traced back and rectified in a timely manner. No one will challenge the authority of God.

"However, this system is based on the monarch alone. If the monarch makes a wrong decision, it will bring disastrous consequences, which is what Zhongli is worried about." Xie Yan thought.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses. Any system has its flaws and needs constant innovation to maintain its vitality. Xie Yan does not know what is the best path for Inazuma and can only explore it slowly on his own. This is also his biggest goal when he takes over the ruling position.

But since he has inherited the dream of protecting Inazuma from Ying, he naturally has to do his best. This is proof that he and Ying are practicing the path of eternity together.
