The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 256 Changes
Chen Tianfeng narrated what happened briefly and introduced both parties.

"I see. So the Kage was worried about Mr. Chen and wanted to see Inazuma with his own eyes, so you went into hiding. Then you met Hanasari on the way to Narugami Taisha, and you came to perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura."

Yae Shinko was filled with emotion for a moment, especially the second half of the poem "By the way, there was a great purification ceremony for the divine cherry blossoms".

As the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, she was naturally aware of the condition of the sacred cherry tree, and knew that clearing the filth that had accumulated on the sacred cherry tree was not something that could be described by words like "dealing with it in passing".

Originally, the sacred cherry tree could have held out for a long time, but after the Fatui withdrew from Inazuma, the two greedy idiots, Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, did not know how to restrain themselves at all, and even intensified their foolish acts, successfully making the situation in Inazuma worse.

Unfortunately, she was on her way to Liyue by boat at that time, so she couldn't respond in time. Otherwise, even if she wanted to "let the wolf in", she would have to wait until the Divine Sakura was purified.

After she returned from Liyue, she was shocked to find that the Divine Cherry Tree was almost reaching its limit. So she tried her best to maintain the Divine Cherry's state while preparing for the Divine Cherry's purification.

This will allow the shrine maidens who are busy with the purification of the sacred cherry blossoms to do other things... Yae Kamiko's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and she looked at her friend beside her and said with a smile: "King, come out and see Inazuma with your own eyes, how do you feel?"

“It’s been a great experience.”

Ying nodded first, then sighed and said with emotion: "Managing a country is indeed a difficult task, and humans are indeed very fickle."

"Changeable... to be able to say this, it seems that you have indeed gained a lot."

Yae Shinko's eyes lit up, and she was very pleased with her friend's growth: "So what are you going to do next?"

"Let's clean up Inazuma's mess as soon as possible."

Ying shook his head and said, "The Inazu people have endured too much suffering that they shouldn't have to endure. It's time to end it all."

Ying has really changed a lot... Yae Shenzi's beautiful purple eyes were full of joy. Then he thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Speaking of chaos, Ying, what do you think of Haigi Island?"

"Haigo Island... Although they started a rebellion, considering that they were doing it to protect themselves and did not do anything that went too far beyond the bottom line..." Ying thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's give them a small punishment as a warning and see what happens next."

"Ying, you have become much more generous!" Yae Shen Zi was surprised and relaxed a lot at the same time.

This way, there is no need to worry about Ying wiping out all the people of the Coral Palace in a rage.

Yae Shinko heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt sorry for Ying, frowning slightly: "But we can't really treat them lightly. You have protected Kaigi Island for hundreds of years, and it's ok that they are ungrateful, but this time they dared to destroy the Narukami branch, and even shouted the slogan of Orobas' resurrection and separation from Inazuma... Hmm?"

She was talking halfway when she suddenly noticed Ying's expression. She suddenly felt something was wrong, but she held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, "Ying, you know all this, right?"

It was because you knew these that you came up with the way you dealt with Kaigi Island just now, instead of just knowing that Kaigi Island had formed a resistance army to resist the Eye Hunting Order... right?

Ying glanced at her, said nothing, and closed his eyes with a cold expression.

"What's wrong with her?"

Ying poked Chen Tianfeng's arm and asked in a low voice: "Why do you close your eyes?"

"The gods have their own way of viewing the general situation of their own kingdom. Ying had previously closed this perspective, but now she finds that the problem is bigger than she expected, so she has to 'take a look' at Inazuma herself." Chen Tianfeng explained in a low voice.

"The perspective of a god, it's amazing... This perspective must be very energy-consuming, right?"

"How could that be? For gods, opening this perspective is as easy as eating and drinking. At most, it distracts them a little."

"Then why did Ying close it?"

Ying didn’t understand. If it was so simple, then as a god, shouldn’t he always keep this perspective open?

"Of course it's because of me." Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows, smiled at Ying's puzzled gaze, and said, "Any god who is caught off guard and sees me suddenly appear in his kingdom and in front of him will subconsciously remain on the highest alert and focus all their attention on me."

Naturally, it was impossible to open any divine perspective to distract his attention - for fear that if he was not careful, Chen Tianfeng would escape his sight and hide in his kingdom.

That would really make it hard to sleep or eat.

"So she trusts you now?" Ying thought.

"Yeah." Chen Tianfeng nodded and said, "After traveling together for a while, they found that I was not a bad person, so they were not as nervous as they were at the beginning."

Ying glanced at Chen Tianfeng and said calmly, "Well, traveling together can indeed enhance understanding and bring people closer together."

Chen Tianfeng blinked his eyes, always feeling that Ying's previous attitude was a little subtle.

Before he could think about it, Ying suddenly opened his eyes, with anger hidden in his eyes: "Very good!"

Yae Shinko's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to say something to defend Haijidao, but then she saw Yingdiao turn his gaze and glare at her and Chen Tianfeng: "What a good thing you did!"

"Huh? How does this have anything to do with me?"

Chen Tianfeng was stunned, puzzled and curious: "What did you see?"

"Rumors, rumors about the castle tower collapsing, many rumors are spreading on Kaigi Island."

Ying's face darkened slightly, and he said, "One version is that Kaigi Daimikoto came back to life and saw that the people of Coral Palace were being oppressed by the shogunate. In anger, he attacked the castle tower and is currently fighting a decisive battle in a place that mortals cannot reach."

"Ah? Kaigi-daimyakami? Who? Me?"

Chen Tianfeng pointed at himself, and seeing Ying nod with a dark face, he felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Then he thought for a moment and reminded him, "That has nothing to do with me. You were the one who smashed the castle tower. The rumors were spread by Inazuma himself. I am innocent."

"There is another version that says that you were severely injured by me again, and you also trapped me. You are waiting for a warrior from Kaigi Island to find you, inherit your power, and lead Kaigi Island to get rid of Inazuma's oppression."

Ying glanced at him and said, "And the way to inherit your power is to eat the heart of the god under the gaze of the god with your permission."

"…Which idiot made up this rumor? It's so outrageous?"

Chen Tianfeng was puzzled, but he immediately realized: "No, the rumor is about the Great God of the Sea, not me. Don't read it randomly!"

"What's the difference? Have you forgotten what your god form looks like?"

Ying folded his arms and said, "If you appear before the people of Coral Palace, they will definitely think that you are the resurrected demon god Orobas."

"I'm not as unlucky as Oropas...hiss, no, I seem to be more unlucky than him?" Chen Tianfeng scratched his hair, his tone a little uncertain.

Yae Shinko listened to the conversation between the two gods, looked at Ying, blinked, and blinked again, as if he couldn't believe it: "Ying, aren't you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry, very angry."

Ying looked at her with a serious tone, and then sighed: "But as a god, I can't just kill everyone on Haigi Island because of a momentary anger, right?"

The easiest way is to suppress everything and kill everything with thunder and lightning, but doing so would be too cruel to most of the people on Haiji Island.

They were a little foolish, but they weren't dead.
