"Should I call you a wanted criminal or an adventurer? Mr. Ember?"
"It's up to you. It has no effect on me anyway." Yi Jin waved his hand, indicating that he would follow the wishes of the Eightfold Divine Son.
Anyway, to Yi Yan, it doesn't matter what you call him, as long as you don't scold him.
"Forget it, let's just call him by his first name." Seeing Yu Yan's indifferent look, Yae Shenzi shrugged and called him by his first name.
"No problem. In that case. The pleasantries are over here, let's talk about business!" said Yi Yan, and began to look around.
"Business?" Yae Shenzi thought thoughtfully after hearing Yu Yan's words. She saw Ember looking around, and waved to the witches peeping behind her.
"Everyone else waiting here, please leave. Clean up the outside of the big shrine before coming in."
"It's quite possible." Yi Jin heard the bright or dark footsteps in the big shrine, and gave a thumbs up to Yae Shenzi with appreciation.
It seems that she still knows that these people are useless to Ember.
"Of course, in this position, even a monster has become a human spirit." Yae Shenzi glanced at the ember, seeming to be quite complaining about this position.
But she saw the crater he had smashed behind Yi Yan, and the dullness in her eyes suddenly disappeared, with a hint of joking.
"Since Ember you said you were here to talk business. Great, let's get started now."
"So fast?"
Ember scratched his head. He didn't expect that as soon as the people from Narukami Taisha left, Yae Shenzi started talking directly.
This is too fast! Is it possible that the Eightfold Divine Son is a resolute person like Coral Palace Xinhai?
"Of course, the position of Palace Secretary is more busy than you think. Finish it early and get off early...Change to the next thing!"
Yae Shenzi tensed up her face, fearing that Yu Yan would notice that she almost spilled the beans just now.
"The first thing is about compensation."
"compensation?!"
When Yi Yan heard Yae Shenzi's words, he was immediately startled. How did she know that she was here to ask for compensation?
"Yes, about Mr. Yu Jin's compensation for the damage to the Narukami Shrine." Yae Kamiko looked around the sizzling crater below, with a slight smile on her eyes.
She was getting rusty staying at Narukami Taisha Shrine, and finally someone who looked very interesting came and she was able to kill some time.
"The wooden planks of Narukami Taisha Shrine are made from the fallen branches of the Inazuma Sakura tree. It is no exaggeration to say that they are priceless."
"The white sand in this dojo is also sand washed by running water. There is no trace of dirt on it."
"Mr. Ember, please think about the value of this."
After Yae Shenzi finished speaking, he looked at Ember with interest, as if he was curious about his next reaction.
"Damage Narukami Taisha Shrine? And it's very expensive? I won't take the blame." Yu Jin looked at the deep pit below where he sat down, and immediately waved his hand to clear his relationship.
He defended himself by saying that it happened for a reason, and it was definitely not because the broken things were too expensive.
Then Ember seemed to remember something. He said indignantly: "Do you know why I came up like this?!"
"Why?" Yae Shenzi was also curious about why Ember chose such a unique way to come to Narukami Taisha Shrine.
When he first saw the stream of light in the sky, Yae Shenzi really thought it was a meteor falling from the sky to the ground.
"If you have time, go down the mountain and take a look. What kind of crap did you build on the road up the mountain?!"
"It's a dead end road, there's no fence, and it's a broken bridge. You just hope no one comes up, right?"
"Is it possible that Dao Wife can walk over walls and walls? No way, right?"
……
As soon as he talked about the road up the mountain, Ember started to talk endlessly. It would take me three days and three nights to talk about the outrageousness of this broken road! The road can be built like this, only Ember has seen it in his life.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it, stop it!" Yae Shenzi heard the embers blasting the way up the mountain from Narukami Taisha to nothing, and quickly stopped him.
In just a short while, Yi Yan discussed the genealogy of human beings more than once. If he continues to talk like this, Bao Buqi will go one step further.
Considering the strength of Yi Yan, Yae Shenzi decisively stopped Yi Yan's words.
"I usually don't go down the mountain very often, and I don't take the usual route. I was negligent in this matter." Fearing that Yu Yan was not satisfied with what he said, Yae Shenzi immediately took the responsibility on himself.
Yae Shenzi doesn't know about the road problem. She is the palace minister, and most of the time she sits solemnly in the shrine, playing her role as "the palace minister".
With the rare free time, Yae Shenzi wanted to spend it all having fun, so how could he have the patience to walk down the mountain?
If she doesn't jump around, she's already leisurely.
"What about compensation?"
"It's a joke, you don't have to worry about it, Ember."
Hearing this, Ember nodded. Then he asked Yae Shenzi: "Who is in charge of the guards on Yae Island?"
Yae Shenzi felt that Yu Ember's question was inexplicable. Considering that these were not confidential, she answered:
"The sergeants are under the charge of Tian Ling, the shrine maidens and the talismans are under the charge of the Myojin Grand Shrine, the logistics are under the charge of commissioning, and the condolences and festival activities are under the charge of the shrine."
"You're in charge, that's good." Yi Yan nodded, and then took out a note and a scroll.
"Now, it's my turn to demand compensation!"
"You want compensation?!"
Yae Shenzi raised her gloomy eyelids, but she never expected that Ember would directly turn against the guests and ask Narukami Taisha for compensation.
"Is it possible that you still want to pay for mental damage because of the broken road?" Yae Shenzi glanced at Ember with suspicion. Now she suspected that Ember was looking for trouble.
"I look like I'm in a bad mood?" Ember pointed at his face.
Yae Shenzi almost nodded when he saw his sharp-edged iron helmet.
"See for yourself! What do you do as a palace minister?"
After Yan Yan threw the note and scroll into Yae Shenzi's arms, he turned his back and waited quietly.
Chapter 457 Undercurrent under Eternity
2024-01-31
Looking at the back of the ember, Yae Shenzi unfolded the note with a little bit of crimson in his hand with doubts.
Through the fox's keen sense of smell, Yae Shenzi instantly realized that the red color on the note was not decoration, but blood.
Opening the note, what was written on it was the reality that the seal of the Soul God on Yalu Island was destroyed and the island's guards were almost wiped out.
When he closed the note again, Yae Kamiko's face was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before. The deep purple under the eyes began to beat.
Picking up the scroll on the side, Yae Shenzi already had his own guess about the content on it.
Sure enough, after opening the scroll, what caught Yae Shenzi's eyes was a series of names.
With just a cursory glance, she saw many familiar names. These people were either sergeants who had come up the mountain to receive supplies, or registered shrine maidens in Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Now, without exception, their names are all written on the scrolls.
"I understand, the families of these people were arranged by the Narukami Society." After taking a deep breath and calming down some of his emotions, Yae Shenzi solemnly nodded to the ember.
"What were you doing so early?" Yi Yan spat secretly and turned around.
Hearing this, Yae Shenzi showed a rare hint of apology in his expression. But soon this subtle change in expression was covered up by her.
"I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. I was busy with other things during this period, and I was actually tricked by a boy from the Kujo family..."
The note and scroll in his hand disappeared. Yae Shenzi's expression did not change, but his tone became colder.
"What can make you so busy that you can't even do your responsibilities?" Yu Yan looked directly into Yae Shenzi's eyes and asked her.
Naturally, Yae Shenzi was not timid at all, and met the gaze of Ember head-on.
As a palace minister for hundreds of years, Yae Shenzi has long been able to manage his expressions flawlessly.
Everything in her eyes may be true, or it may be false. I am afraid that only she knows the truth or falsehood.
But soon, she was defeated. The expressions and eyes of Yae Shenzi are as diverse as broken prisms.
But someone has to watch it, right? Not even light could shine through the peephole of embers.
Looking at him was like trying to express your expression in the dark without turning on the lights at night. You wouldn't get any feedback at all. It would be better to find a mirror and look at yourself.
Turning her head slightly, Yae Kamiko looked at the sacred cherry tree behind Narukami Taisha Shrine. She was silent for a while and then said slowly:
"I'm working on something that will prevent this from happening again."
Yae Shenzi thought of the heart of God in his hand. The God of Thunder's Heart of God can be called the Heart of God with the strongest divine power.
It is estimated that only the ice god who rules the entire winter can rival it.
The God of Thunder and the God of Ice both directly rule their respective countries, and their prestige is also very important among the people.
It is difficult to imagine whether the divine power condensed by such faith is strong.
As long as we can figure out how to collect faith and turn it into power. She, a suitable person, coupled with the wishes of everyone in Inazuma now, are enough to open Kage's heart!
As for why this couldn't be him, Yae Shenzi thought clearly. She is a goblin, and she is the kind of big goblin with many faces and faces. She is destined to be unable to perfectly resonate with human beings' wishes.
What's more, bearing everyone's wishes sounds like a troublesome thing. She neither wants to bear it nor can't bear it.
A person who can fulfill his wishes must have an upright belief and perseverance.
Thinking of this, Yae Shenzi turned back and glanced at Hu Ember, who was pulling something in the pit.
With just one glance, Yae Shenzi expelled the embers. Ember this integrity is integrity, but perseverance...
Yae Shenzi felt that Ember did not look like a perseverant person.
But if Ember knew this, he would definitely refute Yae Shenzi's statement. What does it mean to have no perseverance? He just insists on a lot of things and seems to have no perseverance.
"What are you doing down there? It's not enough to smash the floor of my Narukami Taisha Shrine, but you want to dig through the ground?"
"No, I just wondered what the fertility of the soil was like after being hit by the meteorite." Yu Jin replied absentmindedly, twisting the cooled rock in his hands.
"???"
After listening to Yu Yan's words, Yae Shenzi had a rare doubt in his eyes. Weren't they talking about evil spirits just now? Why did Ember's mind turn to soil fertility in the blink of an eye?
Spreading his palms, Yi Yan saw the dark-colored rock grains in his hands. The grains of the rock grains were distinct, just like black sand.
"The test failed." Yi Yan threw away the rock particles in his hand and shook his head.
