Yes, Lady Funina!

Before coming to Inazuma, Ying actually returned to Mondstadt and met her brother there.

However, this reunion was too short. After only a few words, they lost contact again.

However, Ying did not gain nothing. At least she knew that the "Abyss" seemed to have some connection with her brother.

The reason why he continued the journey was, on the one hand, to be able to see his brother again, and on the other hand, to find out what had happened during the years he was sleeping, and why his brother was standing on the side of the [Abyss].

Paimon noticed Ying's low mood and realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he hurriedly tried to make amends, "Sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant that if Richard knew about your brother, we wouldn't be as confused as we are now."

"Don't worry, I will be with you no matter what. Paimon will always be Ying's best friend!"

"Thank you." Ying indicated that she was fine, she was just overthinking it.

No matter what, as long as she keeps going, everything will be figured out, and she will eventually reunite with her brother.

The Aojie group led by Paimon and Ying stopped in front of the door of the general's mansion, knocked twice gently, and then the door opened.

"General, the two guests have been brought here."

"Thank you for your hard work, let's get down."

"Yes!"

After hearing the words "thank you for your hard work", these Aojie soldiers were obviously a little excited, as if they had not expected the general to be so kind.

I always feel that... the general has changed a lot. Although he is still majestic, he seems to be more humane.

"You're here?" Richard spoke first. Seeing the two people still standing there, looking like they didn't know what to do, he pointed to the two empty seats.

"Please take a seat."

"Oh, okay." Paimon followed suit.

After taking his seat, Paimon's eyes lit up when he saw the snacks with Inazuma characteristics placed in front of him.

After all, there was basically nothing delicious to eat along the way from Liyue to Inazuma. They didn't have time to taste Inazuma's food when they just got off the boat. Under Thomas' arrangement, they arrived at Inazuma City in a dusty manner. When they saw Linnit, Paimon and Ying just ate a few bites of dry food, and then hurriedly followed Linnit to the general's mansion.

This was the first time that Paimon sat on a soft cushion and tasted delicious food since he set foot on the land of Inazuma.

Since all this was so hard-earned, little Paimeng actually felt inexplicably moved.

Of course, necessary etiquette is still required, especially since there are not only familiar people here, but also the god of Inazuma.

"Long time no see Richard, uh, thank you for the introduction..." Paimon said very politely.

"You're welcome. When you're out and about, it's natural for friends to help each other. It's just a small favor." Richard said, "Besides, even without my introduction, I believe that with Ying's ability, she will eventually get what she wants."

"That being said, I still want to thank you for saving us so much trouble. After all, I heard from Thomas that it is quite rare to see the general of Inazuma." Paimon said, looking at the other two women here who had quite transcendent looks and temperament.

One of them was very close to Richard, almost as if they were sticking together. Just by looking at them, you could tell that the relationship between them was not simple.

"Um... I wonder which one of you is the General of Thunder?" Paimon asked cautiously.

"Little guy, when you saw me, you didn't even say hello, but instead kept talking to my husband. Aren't you really taking me seriously?" Yae Shinto spoke at the right time, with a hint of anger on his face.

Little Paimon was even more stunned after hearing what Yae Shinko said. Husband? General? Don't you take me seriously?

These few words instantly fried Paimeng’s brain CPU. What was going on?

How did Richard become someone else's husband? And is the woman in the witch costume the Thunder God? She thought the one dressed in the military general's costume was the Thunder God.

It is said that when Richard was pulled into the different dimension, didn't he defeat General Lei Dian instead of sleeping with him?

It was actually solved in this way, it’s outrageous!

"I'm sorry, General, I didn't mean it." Paimon quickly waved his hand and apologized.

"Puchi." When Yae Shinko saw Paimon's silly look, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Paimon:?

As Paimon looked at him in confusion, Yae Shinko's smile remained unchanged, and he said to Ying through Richard: "It seems that I am more like the general than you are, Ying."

"Goddess, don't tease the guests. It's very rude." Ying scolded Yae Goddess, and then said to Paimon apologetically: "I'm sorry, she is Yae Goddess, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine. As for the Thunder General you mentioned, she is currently under maintenance."

"But the one you are looking for is not General Raiden, but Inazuma's Narukami, right? My name is Ying, and I am the Narukami you are looking for." Ying said.

"General Raiden, Shadow, Yae Goddess, Shrine Priest?" Paimon was almost confused by these terms. "No, sorry, can you say it again? I, I may not have heard it clearly just now."

"Hello." Ying sorted out the connection between the characters, although she still didn't quite understand what Ying meant by 'General Lei Dian is under repair'.

But all she needed to know was that the gentle purple-haired older sister in front of her was the Inazuma Narukami she was looking for.

As for the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Ying had actually heard of him. He was quite famous in Inazuma, and Toma was very respectful to him in his words.

Although he is a little different from the solemn and mysterious shrine chief I imagined, he is generally consistent with me.

The only thing that bothered Ying was that the other party called Richard her husband...

Could it be that Richard is already married in Inazuma?

If that’s the case, why would Richard work in Fontaine?

In just a moment, a family ethics drama with millions of words flashed through Ying's mind.

Of course, this is not the point. Compared to Richard's family ethics drama, Ying wants to know more whether the Lord Mingshen in front of her knows the news of her brother.

"I already know the purpose of your visit, but I'm sorry, I don't have any information about your brother." Ying said without keeping anyone in suspense.

"Is that so..." Ying's eyes darkened. In fact, she had already guessed it in her heart, but she still held out a glimmer of hope. Therefore, when she actually heard Ying say in person that she didn't know, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Because I have been in seclusion before, I may not know as much about worldly affairs as the Son of God. Do you know the news about her brother?" Ying looked at Yae Son of God.

Yae Kamiko was helpless and said she was not sure either. At least in the past five hundred years, she was sure that the other party had not come to Inazuma, or it was possible that he had come to Inazuma but had no contact with her.

Richard also spoke up: "Besides the description of your brother's appearance, is there any other more specific information? For example, what he has done, his personality, his social circle..."

"Well...actually, I had already met my brother once before coming to Inazuma." Ying said after hesitating for a moment.

"Have you met him already?" Richard did not ask. If they had met him already, why did Ying continue to look for her brother?

Obviously, although Ying had met her brother before, due to various reasons, they were unable to reunite in the end, so the other party continued her journey.

"Yes, my brother... may be related to the Abyss Cult." When Ying said this, he was actually worried.

After all, on the continent of Teyvat, only the Abyss Cult can be regarded as the real public enemy of all countries. No matter what they say in private, all countries are hostile to the Abyss Cult in public.

Among the seven nations of Teyvat, there is no doubt that the Cult of the Abyss is an organization that is more despised than the Fatui.

"The Abyss Cult..." Richard seemed to be thinking about something. He had expected that Ying's brother would not be that simple, but he did not expect that he would be so complicated.

It seems that the 'Prince' of the Abyss Cult should be the brother of the girl in front of him.

Richard didn't know much about the 'Prince'. He only knew that there was such a person in the Abyss Cult, but he was not very clear about more specific information.

Ying was obviously sensitive to the word "abyss" in the Abyss Cult. She glanced at Richard calmly, and after seeing Richard shook his head slightly, she said nothing more.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you. Maybe... my aunt might know something about the Abyss Cult." Richard replied.

"Your aunt? Are you talking about Ms. Alice, the mother of little Klee?" Paimon asked.

If it was the famous adventurer in Teyvat, Ms. Alice, it is indeed possible that she knew information about the Abyss Cult where Brother Ying belonged.

"Yes."

In fact, everyone present knew about the relationship between Richard and Alice, especially Yae Kamiko and Ying, both of whom had dealt with Alice before.

In the past, they were basically on equal terms with Alice, but as for the future...it's hard to say.

"Thank you for your help." Ying knew how famous Ms. Alice was. Like Richard, she had connections with many gods.

Take Zhongli for example. She had heard Zhongli mention this lady's name before. Now the other party is guarding the border of Teyvat. Such a heavyweight figure may indeed know more.

"Although I can't answer your questions, since you are here and are Richard's friends, let me do my best to entertain you two." Ying asked someone to bring some more desserts, and then said to Paimeng and Ying: "Please enjoy it. Don't be restrained."

"Actually, it's you who wants to eat it, right?" Yae Shinko came close to Ying and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Ying did not reply, but picked up the fried tofu snack specially prepared for Yae Shinko with chopsticks, and then used it to block Yae Shinko's cherry mouth.

"Well……"

Under the influence of desserts and tea, Yinghe Paimon gradually became familiar with the people present.

Paimon, in particular, asked a lot of questions about Inazuma's recent situation and the relationship between Yae Kamiko and Richard out of curiosity.

To this, Yae Shinko replied: "They are husband and wife."

"G?!!" Ying and Paimon widened their eyes at the same time. It turned out that it was not a joke?

"Is that so?" Having been fooled before, Paimon decided to ask Richard, the person involved, directly.

Richard glanced at Yae Shenzi and found that he was looking at him with a look that said, "If you dare to say no, I will cry in front of you."

Although Richard knew that even if he answered no, Yae Shinko would not really cry in the end, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he hesitated for a moment and did not deny or admit it but chose to use silence instead of answering.

——It’s considered as a default.

When Yae Shenzi saw that Richard did not directly deny it, the smile on his face became even wider, and he glanced at Mao Mao with his fox eyes with pride.

Linnet, on the other hand, had been quietly sipping tea from the beginning, turning a deaf ear to the fox's provocation and pretending not to see it.

Seeing that Linnett didn't react, Yae Shenzi said to Paimon again: "Do you want to guess what the relationship between Richard and Ying is?"

"What's the relationship? Friends?" Paimon thought it was impossible that they were still husband and wife?

After all, that was the god G. It was impossible for a god to compete with his own followers for a man, right?

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong. What do you think Ying?" The Yae God Son looked at Ying beside Paimon.

"It should also be 'husband and wife', right?" Ying gave an outrageous answer without thinking much.

"How is that possible!" Paimeng felt that Ying was too perfunctory and somewhat offensive, considering that the real person was still here.

We are on someone else's territory. What should we do if we make them angry and they don't give us unlimited refills of desserts?

However, what Paimong did not expect was that Yae Shinko actually looked at Ying with a surprised expression, gently covered her red lips with her jade hands, and said with curved eyebrows: "Huh? You got the answer right."

"Look at me... wait! What does it mean to get the answer right?" Paimon was shocked, and his eyes shifted back and forth between Ying, Richard, and Yae Shinko.

Your circle...is it so chaotic?

Also, does Inazuma law allow polygamy?

Yae Shinko seemed to have seen through Paimon's thoughts. She smiled and said, "Kage is the god of Inazuma. When will the laws used to restrain ordinary people be able to restrain gods?"

"Yiying dotes on Richard, let alone me marrying Richard with her, what's the harm even if I add Linnet?"

PS: There is another chapter in 4K

Volume 146: Chapter 4: God's Heart in the Ravine (K)

Is that so?

Paimon feels that she is becoming more and more unable to understand this world. She has a lot to complain about Yae Shinko's explosive remarks, but she doesn't know how to complain.

At the same time, there was something obviously wrong with the look in her eyes when she looked at Richard. Although Paimon felt from the beginning that Richard's luck with women was a bit too good, when the established facts were laid out before him, he still couldn't help but smack his lips.

You have to know that the other party is the God of Thunder, the most noble and honorable being of Inazuma, who holds great power in the world.

It was actually very difficult for Paimon to understand that someone like this would be willing to share a man with another woman.

Sometimes Paimon would wonder if this guy Richard had drugged Ying and the others.

And besides Ying, there is another god who also has a crush on him, so does Richard have the physique of a succubus?

The kind that special attacks against gods.

Paimon didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

However, even though he didn't understand, Paimon respected everyone's choice. Moreover, for Paimon, neither Yae Shinko nor Linnet was actually familiar with him. After all, he had only met them once.

But Paimon still has a good impression of Ying, which is also thanks to the sweet snacks provided by Ying.

Q: How to quickly improve Paimon’s favorability?

A: Give her something delicious.

On the other side, after hearing what Yae Shenzi said, Linnet's bright purple eyes flashed. She was not sure what Yae Shenzi meant by this.

Is the other party hinting at something?

For example, the possibility of peaceful coexistence?

Linnet wasn't sure, but what was certain was that she had no intention of betraying the Fontaine Iron Trio at the moment.

As for Ying, after hearing what Yae Shinko said, apart from his cheeks feeling a little hot, he was also like Richard, neither denying nor admitting it, and was in a state of tacit consent.

Just like that, after Yae Shinto's shocking speech, the hall fell into a brief topic vacuum.
