Chapter 471 Purple Sakura

"Come to think of it... It's been a while since I last sought out the cooking master to learn from her, and I haven't even visited her since I came to Inazuma."

Muttering to himself, Liu Bai decided to go back and find Ying after completing the commission.

Although he and Ying have successfully made fried eggs that can emit electric currents after their hard work last time, Liu Bai has not cooked for a long time since leaving Inazuma, so his cooking skills may have regressed.

After completing today's daily commission, Liu Bai couldn't wait to go to the castle tower.

Since he had the Eye Hunting Order in hand and he had visited the castle tower frequently during that period last year, he arrived at the castle tower smoothly.

"Master Kitchen God! I'm here to learn from you!"

Entering the castle tower, Liu Bai saw the familiar purple-haired woman at first sight and immediately ran over waving his hand.

"Long time no see, welcome to the castle tower."

Zhen put down the book he was reading and greeted Liu Bai with a smile.

"But Ying is not here today. She went to Narukami Taisha Shrine."

In order to prevent Liu Bai from mistaking someone else, Zhen explained again.

There is no difference in appearance between her and Ying except for their temperament and the decorations on their bodies. Unless they take the initiative, it is difficult for ordinary people to identify them, let alone Liu Bai.

"Hmm...? Are you the Kitchen Goddess Sister?"

Liu Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard the truth, and then he asked tentatively.

"..."

Hearing Liu Bai's question, I couldn't help but raise one hand to cover my mouth.

"It's me. No wonder Ying likes you so much. Who wouldn't be confused after hearing such a name?"

After covering his mouth and chuckling softly, Zhen nodded and answered Liu Bai's question.

It’s not that she looks down on her sister, but the fact that Liu Bai calls Ying the God of Cooking and takes her as his teacher to learn cooking skills is somewhat funny.

"Teachers usually like excellent students like me."

Liu Bai said this with some pride.

"That's right, do you want me to call her back for you?"

Zhen nodded in cooperation, and then made a proposal to Liu Bai.

"No, I can't trouble the Master Kitchen God. I'll go find her."

Liu Bai immediately rejected Zhen's proposal.

"Oh, by the way, Sister God of Cooking... I've already got some progress on the task you asked me to do last time!"

At this moment, Liu Bai looked around carefully, and after confirming that there was no one around, he started talking to Zhen.

"Yeah, I know. I saw that traveler in front of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue earlier..."

"I first asked my girl, my brother Zhongli, and Fufu to attack Inazuma."

Zhen nodded, but was interrupted by Liu Bai before he could finish his words.

"...?"

Liu Bai's words made Zhen somewhat confused, but she knew who Liu Bai was talking about.

But...is it that serious?

"But they didn't agree, so I can only look for the little yellow-haired guy."

"But don't worry, Sister God of Cooking, the little yellow-haired boy is still very powerful."

Then Liu Bai spread his hands and continued to explain.

After hearing this, Zhen nodded his head in relief. Since the little yellow-haired boy could hear the wishes on the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue, maybe there was indeed a way...

"That's about it. Then Sister God of Cooking, I'll go find the God of Cooking first."

After reporting the progress to Xiang Zhen, Liu Bai stood up and said goodbye to Xiang Zhen.

"Okay, Narukami Taisha is right over there on Kagemukaiyama. You can see it when you go out from here."

Seeing that Liu Bai wanted to find Ying by himself, Zhen had no choice but to nod and reminded Ying Xiangshan of his location.

The top of Kagemukai Mountain is the highest point on the entire Narukami Island. Although Inazuma Castle is in the south of Narukami Island, the castle tower is located at a higher place than Inazuma Castle. As long as you walk out of the castle tower, the view in front of you will be very broad. Looking forward past the Inazuma Street below, you can vaguely see Kagemukai Mountain.

"okay!"

Liu Bai responded, then waved to Zhen, turned and left the castle tower.

After seeing Liu Bai leave, Zhen picked up the book he had just put down.

This was the book recommended to her by Funina, and the title was "Please, My Fox Fairy Palace Manager".

……

After leaving the castle tower, Liu Bai glanced at Ying Xiangshan to confirm the direction, then stepped on the flying sword and flew towards that direction.

Soon, Liu Bai successfully arrived at Yingxiang Mountain and landed on the mountain road in front of Mingjin Taisha Shrine.

After walking a few steps forward, Liu Bai arrived at the main entrance of the Naruto Shrine.

"?"

When Liu Bai stepped into the Naruto-Oh! Taisha Shrine, the purple-haired priestess who was assigned to clean the floor after picking up today's scarlet cherry petals raised her head and happened to look Liu Bai in the eye.

"Eh?"

"..."

Liu Bai subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. The purple-haired witch remained silent, but she gripped the broom even more tightly.

"You seem like someone I know..."

Liu Bai moved forward and looked closely at the face of the purple-haired witch.

The purple-haired witch subconsciously clenched her fists, but was restricted by the program set by Ying, and she was unable to punch Liu Bai in the face.

"Ahem, sir, please don't tease the shrine maiden in our shrine."

Just as Liu Bai got closer to observe the purple-haired priestess carefully, the priestess next to him came over and coughed lightly to remind Liu Bai.

Although this purple-haired witch is aloof and seldom communicates with others, they all work in the same shrine after all. After a year, most of the other witches in the shrine know her.

Since they couldn't find out her name, the shrine maiden gave her the name "Shizakura" based on her appearance and work.

"Oh fine."

Liu Bai had no choice but to nod and ignore the purple-haired witch.

Continuing to walk into the shrine, Liu Bai met Yae Shinto who had been waiting for a long time under the sacred cherry tree.

"Haha, isn't this my general's student? I've been waiting for you for a long time~"

Yae Shinko greeted Liu Bai without any worry that Liu Bai would recognize her.

The fact is, although Liu Bai felt that her pink hair looked very familiar, but...

"Who are you?"

Liu Bai asked doubtfully.

"Ahem, I am the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine. You can address me as Yae Kamiko-sama."

Yae Shinko coughed lightly and told Liu Bai his identity.

"So, are you good?"

Liu Bai suddenly thought of something and asked Yae Shinto tentatively.

"Hmm? Of course I am awesome. Even a general has to give me some respect."

Hearing Liu Bai's question, Yae Shinto answered as a matter of course.

"Really?"

Liu Bai's eyes lit up, he looked around carefully, and then moved forward.

"So are you interested in attacking Inazuma together?"

Moving closer, Liu Bai then asked the Eightfold Son of God in a low voice.

There are witches all around, so please don't discuss this too loudly.

"That's a great suggestion, but unfortunately, I am a follower of the Thunder God. How can I fight against my own god?"

Yae Shinko nodded with interest at first, but then he spread his hands and rejected Liu Bai's proposal.

"Hey, pink-haired witch, you don't understand this."

"How can a man live in the world between heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?"

"...?"

Ying, who was carrying dessert to check why Yae Shinko hadn't returned for so long, couldn't help but tilt his head, and the tri-color dumpling in his mouth fell back into the plate.
