Chapter 258: The Past of Inazuma (9) Ying's Arrival, Invitation, Tianhe's Strength
Lei Yingying stood in front of the house where Tianhe and his friends lived. She asked the Aojie people stationed at the door to leave, but she was still hesitating whether to go in. Tianhe felt that Lei Yingying was outside the door, but for some reason, she was still lingering, probably because she had something to do with him, but why didn't she come in?
So, Tianhe opened the door. When Lei Dianying saw the door open, she was almost startled. Fortunately, she relaxed when she saw Tianhe. Otherwise, Lei Dianying might have drawn her sword. "Excuse me, Ying, you came here today specially. Is there anything you need my help with?"
Hearing Tianhe's question, Lei Yingying was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell Tianhe. Tianhe also saw Ying's concerns. "Well, if you have anything to say, just come into the house and tell me slowly. It just so happens that Ying and Kong are awake now, so you can talk to us about anything."
Facing Tianhe's invitation, Ying agreed and followed Tianhe into the living room. Ying and Kong had been sitting here for a while, and they didn't know why Lei Dianying suddenly came. However, they always felt that Lei Dianying's coming here was not a good thing, and even felt that she might be here to snatch someone away.
Lei Dianying sat opposite Tianhe. She mustered up the courage to make her request to Tianhe, "Mr. Tianhe, I would like to invite you to help us. How should I put it? I want you to join the shogunate army and help us fight against the surrounding villains and expand our territory. Of course, I am not asking for nothing. We will try our best to meet your requirements."
"Oh?" After hearing what Lei Dianying said, Tianhe looked at her with interest. Lei Dianying saw this and thought there was hope, so she continued, "If you feel dissatisfied during this period, you can withdraw at any time. I will think of another way at that time. Of course, as for the benefits, I promise you in the name of Shadow Warrior that I will not reduce them."
Tianhe felt Lei Yingying's sincerity, but he had said before that he didn't need any compensation, and it was purely out of interest. In addition, as a former unknown passenger of the Starry Sky Train, he was willing to explore, so he agreed.
"Kage, I agree to your request. I can help you unify the entire Inazuma. However, forget about joining the Shogunate Army. After all, I don't want to be someone's subordinate. I hope we can be equals. And I don't want any reward, and I won't interfere in the affairs of your Shogunate Army. What do you think?"
Lei Yingying never thought that Tianhe would agree so quickly. It didn't matter whether he joined the shogunate army or not. Moreover, he didn't want any reward! Lei Yingying felt a little incredible about this, "Mr. Tianhe, this is true, but if you really don't want any reward, then I'll just consider it as a favor to you."
"Wait, Ying, are you here to steal my Tianhe's girlfriend?" Ying realized that Lei Dianying was here to poach people, but she realized it was too late. Ying didn't seem to understand what Ying meant, so she explained.
"Hmm? What's that? I just invited him, and Tianhe has agreed. By the way, if you want to come, I welcome you too, and you can also ask for the remuneration. But~" Lei Dianying said as she took out her naginata.
"Before that, I need to understand your strength first. What do you think?" After hearing Lei Dianying's words, Tianhe looked at her to make sure that he had heard correctly. With his current ability, he could easily break through Teyvat. But Lei Dianying didn't know this. She really wanted to compete with him.
"Ying, if you want to test their strength, I think it's okay. I don't need to, it's really unnecessary. Because, I think I'm more like bullying you." Hearing Tianhe's words, Ying felt that Tianhe did not want to compete with her, so he deliberately said this to her.
Lei Dianying was a little unhappy after hearing this. She thought that her strength was not weak, so she questioned Tianhe, "So what do you mean? You look down on my strength? Do you think I'm weak?"
"No, I can feel that you are in this world. In fact, your strength is still very strong. If you use all your strength, you can even transform the surrounding terrain without any problem. But, I think Ying may have misunderstood what I meant. I don't want to attack you because my specific strength is actually very strong."
Seeing that Ying still didn't quite believe him, Tianhe smiled helplessly. Why is it that no one believes him when he tells the truth?
"How about this, I'll take you to a place where we can have a good fight." After obtaining Ying's consent, Tianhe took Lei Ying's hand and brought her to a training ground in the cave. Then, he exerted his power of [Protection] on this place, not so much to prevent Lei Ying but more to reduce the damage he caused to this place.
After Ying felt that Tianhe had a power that was not an elemental force, it seemed that he was superior to her, and the pressure he brought to her was too strong. Lei Ying felt that she was a little breathless, but after Tianhe applied the power of [Protection] to her, she instantly felt much more relaxed.
"So, Tianhe, your power is so strong, I understand. It seems that I am too ignorant. Well, can I learn from you?" Ying looked at Tianhe with something wrong in her eyes. She wanted to worship Tianhe as her teacher.
"Well, not everyone can accept the power of destiny. Moreover, I can feel that with the current situation of Teyvat, it cannot withstand the changes brought about by destiny. However, you can learn other abilities from me. Of course, you and I just need to keep this a secret."
Lei Dianying nodded. She was very excited. What could be more exciting than getting a chance to improve her strength? Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the dessert. Lei Dianying didn't realize that she was gradually attracted to Tianhe during her time with him. Maybe it was the power of [Pure Beauty].
But Tianhe didn't know what Lei Ying was thinking, he had to appease Kong and Ying, especially Ying. Now she was not only naive and playful, but also quite jealous, Tianhe didn't know where she learned it.
After Tianhe brought Ying out of the cave, the system automatically gave her the cave authority, but Lei Dianying didn't know about it. Now Lei Dianying is very excited, not only does she have a teacher, but the teacher also promised to help her unify the entire Inazuma, how can she not be excited?
So, after thanking them, Lei Yingying ran away quickly. Only Ying and Kong were left staring at Tianhe. Their expressions seemed to be telling him that if he didn't give them a reasonable explanation, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight. Tianhe could only patiently comfort them, explain the situation to them one by one, and compensate them, and then they gave up.
As for whether they would go with Tianhe, the answer was of course yes, although Lei Dianying was not sure of their strength. However, those who could travel with Tianhe were naturally very strong, so Lei Dianying did not care about this detail.
