Chapter 325 A Real Request
Although the pink-haired fox's claws could not break the defense on Liu Bai's face, the lightning she released in anger was different. Liu Bai had been teleported once when he was at the Naruto Grand Shrine.
Sure enough, after the lightning dissipated, only the pink-haired fox was left sitting on the ground.
"Eh? Where's Liu Bai?"
It was the first time that Amber saw Liu Bai teleport, and she felt confused and worried when she found out that he was gone.
"Don't worry, he was just beaten to another place."
Nashida turned back and explained to Amber.
……
When Liu Bai opened his eyes, he found a knife at his head.
"Who dares to spy on the general bathing in the hot spring?"
The voice sounded familiar. Liu Bai turned around and took a closer look, and found that it was... Miss Crow?
"Ms. Crow? Where is this place? Am I at Inazuma?"
After recognizing the nine-striped Sara, Liu Bai looked around in confusion.
This kind of wooden structured house can only be found in Liyue or Inazuma, and judging by the style, it should be Inazuma.
"…Are you Liu Bai?"
After hearing this damn name, Kujo Sara looked at Liu Bai carefully.
His whole body was burnt black, his hair exploded, and he looked like he had been struck by lightning...
What?! Was he too late to protect the emperor? He had already seen the general's body being punished?!
Damn, so envious...
"Hey, hey, hey, Miss Crow, the knife hits your neck!"
Feeling the knife on his neck getting closer and closer, Liu Bai quickly used his fingers to block it and reminded others.
Kujo Sara finally reacted and put the knife back.
"Humph, I have disturbed the general by trespassing into the Imperial Hot Spring. Please come with me."
Kujo Sara snorted coldly and said to Liu Bai.
"Wait a minute, Sara. I have something to say to him."
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded beside me.
"Yes, General."
Kujo Sara responded immediately and brought Liu Bai to the door of the room.
The door of the room opened, and a woman who had already changed into a purple yukata and had her hair tied up behind her head appeared in front of Liu Bai and Kujo Sara.
"Master Kitchen God!"
Although the other person's clothes and hairstyle had changed, Liu Bai still recognized her at a glance.
"..."
The other party was obviously silent for a moment, but when he saw Kujo Sara next to him, he did not correct Liu Bai.
Currently, the three magistrates are unaware that there are two Thunder Gods, and Kujo Sara, the general of the Tenryo magistrate, is also unaware of this.
"Sa Luo, please wait outside for a moment. I have something to say to him."
Zhen had no choice but to nod slightly in response to Liu Bai, and then explained to Kujo Sara beside Liu Bai.
"...obey!"
This was the first time that Kujo Sara saw the "Thunder General" wearing a yukata. After being absent-minded for a moment, he immediately responded.
"Well, come in."
Zhen nodded and reminded Liu Bai.
Liu Bai followed immediately, and the door of the room slid closed automatically.
“Please take a seat.”
After entering the room, Zhen knelt down at his seat and asked Liu Bai to sit opposite him. Then he rolled up his sleeves and made two cups of hot tea. There were some pastries that had been prepared long ago on the table.
"Thank you, Master Kitchen God. Are you looking for me to teach me a new dish?"
Liu Bai took the brewed tea and asked impatiently.
"I'm not Ying, I'm her sister, Raiden Shin."
I explained to Liu Bai somewhat helplessly.
"……what?"
Liu Bai opened his mouth, looking a little confused.
"Haha, you can treat me as a shadow."
Looking at Liu Bai's confused look, Zhen covered his face with his sleeves and chuckled.
"I asked you to come in mainly because I need your help with something."
"The fox we kept at home got lost recently. We have been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Could you please keep an eye on it for me?"
Then Zhen asked Liu Bai.
In fact, the reason she asked this was because she felt the aura of a pink-haired fox from Liu Bai, and he looked like he had been struck by lightning.
"Fox? What kind of fox?"
Liu Bai became interested as soon as he heard it, because he liked cute little animals.
"Hmm... her hair is pink and smooth to the touch, and her body is not very big... Oh, she also has two golden earrings inlaid with purple gemstones on her ears..."
Shin made an expression as if he was thinking and reminiscing, then listed the characteristics of the pink-furred fox.
"..."
“No, I haven’t seen it…”
Listening to them being listed one by one, Liu Bai looked away feeling somewhat guilty.
"Is that so? That's a shame, but I'd still like you to pay more attention to it."
I nodded regretfully.
"But besides this, there is actually another thing."
"I have discussed a lot with Ying these days, but she still thinks that changes cannot be made easily and refuses to cancel the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order."
After talking about the pink-haired fox, Shin continued to talk about Inazuma. She was also helpless about Ying's personality.
When she was still alive, Ying wouldn't listen to her in some aspects. Although it has improved now, it can't be easily changed.
Eternity is the rule she set for Inazuma, and the Eye Hunting Order and the Locked Country Order are both meant to ensure that Inazuma remains unchanged forever.
"Oh……"
Liu Bai nodded while eating the cakes on the table, although he didn't actually understand.
"So I would like you to help me find a trustworthy person, and ask her to come to Inazuma to help us wake up Ying."
"I don't think my theory is necessarily better than Shadow's, but at least things like the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order are unnecessary."
Zhen finally asked Liu Bai for help.
……
It was already late at night when Liu Bai was teleported back to Mondstadt.
"Girl~ I'm back~"
Back at the rented house, Liu Bai opened the door and waved to Nashida, who was sitting on the bed combing the pink fox's hair.
"Are you back? Have you had dinner?"
Touching the smooth hair of the pink fox after combing, Nashida asked Liu Bai.
"I ate a lot of cakes."
Liu Bai rubbed his belly.
"Well, go take a shower quickly, it's time to go to bed."
Nashida nodded, then gently touched the pink fox's head.
The next moment, the pink-haired fox fell asleep peacefully.
……
In the little white room, after taking a shower, Liu Bai sat on the bed leaning against the headboard, while Nashida sat in his arms, and they read together the novel borrowed from the library.
"By the way, let's go to Winter Solstice tomorrow."
Suddenly, Nashida remembered something, leaned back in Liu Bai's arms, raised her head and looked at Liu Bai's chin and nostrils and made a suggestion.
"Eh? Why do you suddenly want to go to Winter Solstice?"
Liu Bai shifted his attention away from the novel and looked down at Nashida in his arms with some confusion.
"Have you forgotten that your dragon skin has not been given away yet?"
Seeing Liu Bai's puzzled look, Nashida reminded him.
"...That's right, we can't keep Brother Fu waiting for too long!"
Liu Bai suddenly realized what was going on, then reached out and took the novel from Nashida's hand.
"Go to bed, girl. I'll send it to Brother Fu early tomorrow!"
Then Liu Bai picked up Nashida in his arms and lay down on the bed.
However, Nashida felt uncomfortable lying on Liu Bai, so she twisted her body and turned over, lying on Liu Bai's chest.
Nashida stretched out a finger and gently drew circles on Liu Bai's chest.
"By the way, do you want a child?"
Nashida asked casually.
But I didn't wait for Liu Bai's response.
"Ok?"
Nashida looked up in confusion when she got no response, only to find that Liu Bai had fallen asleep.
