Chapter 243: The Heart of God is Stolen
After sending off Qi Liangliang, who was responsible for delivering the letter, Zhongli returned to the house with the plate, sat down and carefully considered the contents of the plate.
As for Ruoli, she sent Apep back to Xumi, taking the path of the Rocky Abyss.
When she learned that Apep was going back to Xumi, she immediately volunteered and said that the Layered Abyss was like her own home and she was very familiar with it.
Along the way, Ruoli couldn't help asking what it was like to be inside the ball. After all, she had never experienced the later stages.
Listening to Apep's proud and boastful narration, Ruoli became more and more envious, and felt that the ball was not so hateful after all.
……
Yae Shinto wanted to hide the Heart of God. She selected several targets and finally secretly came to a cave on Yingxiang Mountain.
This cave was where she hid from Liu Bai last time. There was a torii gate in the cave that was there for some unknown reason.
Although the Ruolei barrier outside was broken by Apep's kick last time, it has been automatically repaired.
If someone has not obtained the power of the Thunder Seed from the Divine Sakura Tree, he will not be able to penetrate the Thunder Barrier.
"Hehe, I'll let you do this. The Heart of God won't be so easy to find now."
Yae Kamiko walked to the torii gate in the cave.
This torii was set up by Ying five hundred years ago. The other side of the torii is the consciousness space left behind by Ying's sister "Shin" after her death.
In other words, this Torii is a real cenotaph.
The consciousness space is a very abstract concept, and even the time within it is chaotic.
Yae Shinto carefully opened the entrance to the space of consciousness, and a whirlpool-like scene immediately appeared in the middle of the torii.
Then the Eightfold Son of God pushed the Heart of God into the vortex.
Although it will not be lost, it will be difficult to find which timeline the Heart of God exists in.
This kind of deviation in time and space cannot be located by taking photos out of thin air unless you go in and look for it.
"Hehe, if you apologize to me obediently, it will be much easier to find you."
After hiding the Heart of God into the space of consciousness, Yae Shinto crossed his arms and said with some pride, then left the cave and returned to the Narukami Taisha Shrine.
As soon as she returned to the Narugami Taisha Shrine, Yae Kamiko felt that something was not right with the shrine maidens in the shrine, and they seemed a little uneasy and nervous.
"Master Palace Administrator, the General is here to see you..."
Seeing Yae Shinko coming back, a shrine maiden immediately ran over and explained in a low voice.
"So fast……?"
Yae Shinko hurriedly walked towards the sacred cherry tree, and sure enough, she saw Yingzheng with one hand clasped in front of her body, supporting her chin with the back of her other hand, looking at the fox-shaped sacred cherry tree, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Son of God, you are back. I have something to talk to you about."
Feeling the gaze of Yaezakami, Ying came back to his senses and turned to explain to Yaezakami.
"Okay, let's go inside and sit down and talk..."
Yae Shinko responded with a somewhat resentful tone.
Although the thing was taken out by Liu Bai, she saw through the Eye of Evil that it was Ying who was pressing that thing.
Then Yae Miko brought Ying into the house and sat down, and asked the shrine maiden to bring tea and snacks.
"Son of God, I am here to take the Heart of God."
Ying didn't hesitate to pick up the tri-color dumpling and started eating it, while explaining it to Yae Shinko.
"Heart of God? What is that? This general has never heard of it."
Kneeling opposite Ying, Yae Shinko crossed her arms across her chest, pretending to be ignorant of the situation.
After hearing what Yae Shinko said, Ying stopped eating the tri-colored dango for a rare moment.
Sure enough, the Son of God wants to rebel!
"Don't press it! Shadow!"
When Yae Kamiko saw Ying take out a pink remote control from somewhere, she immediately exclaimed and raised her hand to stop her.
"That little bastard! He actually took a picture of this thing!"
Yae Shinko thought hatefully in his heart, wishing he could turn back into a fox and take a bite of Liu Bai.
"Well, then give me the Heart of God."
Ying did not make things difficult for Yaezakami and put away the remote control in his hand.
"Alas, Ying, you are late. The shrine was robbed a few days ago, and the Heart of God was stolen. It's all my fault... I am the chief priest and I didn't keep a close watch on it. If you want to punish me, punish me."
Seeing Ying put away the remote control, Yae Shinko felt a little relieved, then wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke.
"Do you know who the thief is?"
Ying frowned slightly, weighed the pros and cons and decided to believe what Yae Shinto said for the time being, so he asked.
"Well, it was too dark that day, and I couldn't see clearly..."
Yae Shinko explained as her mind worked rapidly.
It's obviously not a good idea to put the blame on Liu Bai. After all, Ying came to get the Heart of God, most likely at his request...
Suddenly, Yae Shinko thought of a good candidate.
"And he's pretty powerful. I've never beaten him before... Oh, by the way, that guy asked me to tell you before he left. His name is now Guobeng."
Yae Shinko's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's him……"
This is the second time I've heard this name, and the last time was in a similar way.
If it was that kid, it would make sense for him to snatch the Heart of God.
But how can I explain to him that the Heart of God has been stolen?
Ying couldn't help but feel a headache. This was the first time in her entire life that she was trying to please someone, and it felt like it was going so poorly.
At this time, Liu Bai didn't know that the Heart of God had been hidden. He was showing off his intelligence to Nashida and easily obtained the Heart of God without using any force.
"Okay, okay, you are the best, have a grape, ah~"
Nashida said this with some amusement, and then put the peeled grapes to Liu Bai's mouth.
Liu Bai opened his mouth and took Nashida's finger into it.
Nashida rolled her eyes, pulled back her saliva-covered fingers, and then stuffed the peeled grape skins in her other hand into Liu Bai's mouth.
Liu Bai didn't mind it either, as he never peeled the grapes when he ate them.
"By the way, girl, why haven't you worn the new clothes I bought these days? I haven't seen you wearing a kimono yet."
While eating the fruit, Liu Bai looked at Nashida's clothes and couldn't help but ask.
It is worth mentioning that since the shrine maiden costume requires a shrine maiden certificate from the Naruto-jin Taisha Shrine to be customized, Liu Bai did not buy one and could not see Nashida in the shrine maiden costume.
"Hmm? Do you want to see it?"
Nashida placed one hand on the table to support her chin, and tilted her head to look at Liu Bai beside her.
"miss you!"
Liu Bai immediately answered seriously.
"Then give me a kiss... Ouch!"
Nashida chuckled and pointed to her face, but before she could finish her words, Liu Bai had already hugged her head and slapped her face hard.
"Okay, okay, wait for me, I'll change it right away."
Nashida rubbed her cheeks and then happily went back to change her clothes.
Not long after, Nashida came out wearing a light green kimono with an emerald green bow tied on her back.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Nashida raised her right hand and covered the lower half of her face with her sleeves, her eyes narrowed into crescents as she asked Liu Bai.
