Even though he had guessed all of this, the sharp contrast between the beginning and the final result still made Lei Dian feel like he was dreaming.
Life is so unpredictable sometimes.
Raiden knew that her sister had been captured, so she came to Kaigi Island prepared to die here.
Even when she was on Narukami Island, she had already made arrangements for her "afterlife".
But after arriving at Kaigi Island, she not only did not die, but also did not suffer any abuse. Instead, she was treated courteously.
This great god in the sky was also different from what she had imagined. He was not a rude and overbearing person. Instead, he was elegant and gentle, with a very calm temperament.
So when Saigo proposed marriage, Raiden agreed without much thought.
In addition to the fact that only marriage can easily resolve the current Inazuma dispute and bring peace to the people, it is also because Raiden has a good impression of Saigo.
For a demon like her, there is no such thing as love in a short period of time, but having such a good impression is enough.
And now, she knew that her fiancé was not only the Great God of Haiqi Island, but also the Emperor who ruled Liyue.
Such plot development is rare even in folk novels. It seems too fake when written in a novel.
Just as Raiden was really shocked by the news, Saigo smiled and said, "...No matter who I am, it doesn't seem that important at this moment."
"…Whether I am the Great God of Kaigi Island or the Emperor of Liyue, our marriage can end the century-old strife of Inazuma. I think this is what you should consider more, Miss Shin."
Raiden Zhen gathered his scattered thoughts and said with a gentle smile: "...Mr. Zaratul is right."
"...I will marry you no matter who you are. But when I found out that you are the Emperor of Liyue, I was secretly delighted."
Lei Dian was really frank. She said that compared to being the god of Haigi Island, she felt more at ease with the identity of Emperor Liyue.
Saigo laughed dumbly and said, "...It seems that the identity of the god of Kaigi Island is still too wild for him."
Raiden Zhen shook his head slightly and said: "...I don't mind Mr. Zaratul's identity."
"...It's just that for the people of the shogunate, the identity of Liyue Emperor will be more acceptable to them."
The thinking of mortals can only see what is in front of them.
It was because Saigo had compassion that the war was not brought to Narukami Island, but if the disaster did not come, it would naturally make some foolish humans have other ideas.
After all, Umijima is just an island in the Inazuma region, and its area is not large, much smaller than the area ruled by the shogunate.
If Inazuma Narukami married this Takami Oomikami who came out of nowhere, naturally many people would be dissatisfied, and it would also be easy for the shogunate and the people to develop regional barriers against Umigito.
But if Xixiang also has the identity of Liyue Emperor, it would be different.
This is the true orthodoxy, it is for the "worldly ruling". If Inazuma Mingshen marries the Liyue Emperor, it will be considered an absolute match in the eyes of the people.
Even though only a few people know that Narukami married Takatsune Oomikami for the sake of Inazuma's stability and to prevent the suffering of all living beings, it was the mercy of Takatsune Oomikami.
But most people in the world are ignorant and cannot see or believe these things.
Before, Raiden Shin was still thinking about how to use time to slowly resolve the possible hostility and estrangement between the shogunate and the Kaigi people, and how to allow the two sides to coexist peacefully without regional discrimination.
She originally thought that this would take decades or even hundreds of years to complete, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to think about it now.
"You sisters haven't seen each other for more than a month. I think you have a lot to talk about. I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now."
Saigo looked at the Narukami sisters, smiled, and turned away.
After Xi Xiang left, Lei Dian Zhen said, "...This Liyue Emperor is polite and respectful to my sister and me."
"…I am lucky to marry him."
Lei Dianzhen looked gentle, and there was tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Xi Xiang. After sighing, she looked at Ying beside her, took her hand and walked into the palace together:
"... Ying, tell me what you saw in Liyue. Inazuma has been isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years, and I am also quite curious about the situation outside."
The two sisters walked into the house and sat opposite each other. Usually, Hu Zhaigong would make some snacks for them.
However, at this time, Kitsusai-no-Miya was busy with the wedding preparations on Ming Shen Island. Seeing this shadow, he said, "...I'll go prepare some food."
Raiden Zhen quickly stood up: "...I will prepare these things. Ying, you have been tired from traveling back and forth to Inazuma Liyue, so you should take a rest for a while."
What a joke. As an elder sister, she knows her younger sister's cooking skills too well. The things she cooks are either inedible or easy to cause accidents.
But in order to take care of his sister's feelings, Lei Dian really couldn't say that his sister's cooking skills were too bad, so he had to find an excuse.
Not long after, Lei Dianzhen brought two pots of tea and found some seafood, but it was too late to make pastries now.
The two sisters took a sip of tea, and Lei Dianying sorted out her thoughts and told Lei Dianzhen everything she had seen in Liyue, no matter how big or small.
Lei Dianzhen just smiled faintly, didn't disturb Ying, and listened quietly.
"Liyue is indeed vast and rich in resources, but we don't need to be envious."
"...The Liyue Demon War was so complicated and cruel. If my sisters were there, we might have died."
"Mr. Zaratul and Lord Morax have also worked hard for the development of Liyue."
"...Mr. Zaratul is truly a man of both civil and military talents. No wonder he has managed the Haigi Island to such a thriving state."
"Compared to the vastness of Liyue, this Haiji Island is much easier to govern."
Raiden said with admiration.
She also learned from Ying that Xixiang once governed Liyue personally like her sisters, and only after spending more than ten years to bring Liyue back on the right track did he hide behind the scenes.
The two sisters each had their own strengths: the elder sister was good at governing, while the younger sister was skilled in martial arts. However, Saigo's military power was unmatched, and his governing ability was also rare in the world.
Lei Dian was truly impressed by such extraordinary talent.
Lei Diandian also nodded slightly, expressing his recognition and a subtle admiration and worship for Saigo's abilities.
"We sisters are lucky to have met Mr. Zaratul."
"…But there are also disadvantages to such a marriage."
Raiden said softly.
Ying Xiu frowned and said, "...What are the disadvantages of such a marriage?"
"That is, there must be no problems in the marriage. Inazuma needs shipping the most. My marriage to Mr. Zaratul will naturally generate greater trade with Liyue."
"…But if this continues for a long time, the Inazuma people will think that the relationship between Inazuma and Liyue lies in the marriage between Mingshen and Emperor Jun, and if there is a problem in the marriage, it will cause social unrest."
The real sound of thunder and lightning was as soft and light as a clear spring, explaining it to Lei Dianying.
"I don't think there will be any problems with your marriage."
Lei Dianying thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Hehehe~ It doesn't matter. If anything happens to me, you can take my place and marry Mr. Zaratul. Anyway, the world doesn't know that we are sisters and will only think that the general is always here!"
Lei Dianzhen covered her mouth and smiled beautifully.
Lei Dianying's cheeks turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "...Stop saying such unlucky words, how could you not be here!"
Seeing Ying angry, Lei Dianzhen hurriedly comforted him: "...Okay, okay, I said something wrong, I apologize, of course I will be fine, and I will accompany Ying forever."
Chapter 85 My dear husband!
On a quiet night, Saigo sat outside the Coral Palace as usual, gazing at the dark sea in the distance and the fake starry sky above his head.
He was preparing to go to the 'Box Garden' world and unlock the 'evil' spirit.
The Little Garden World is different from any world Saigo has ever been to. It is absolutely dangerous.
Even the Mother of Evil God in her heyday had her spirit shattered here, which led to the birth of Saigo.
No matter what preparations you make to go to that world, it is worth it, and it is never wrong to be cautious.
"I hope this isn't a trap..."
Saigo whispered, but was also prepared to escape if this was a trap.
If Xixiang wants to achieve his goal, the six spiritual powers are necessary. Otherwise, he will not be able to gather these six spiritual powers, and all his goals will be a joke.
The Avesta, the real 'Star Creation Chart', is his biggest trump card. It has surpassed 'simulation' and is the real power of the two poles of good and evil in Zoroastrianism.
Just as Saigo was thinking as usual, wondering if he had made any mistakes, he moved his ears and heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Without looking back, Xixiang knew that the person coming was Lei Dian Zhen.
Ever since he discovered that Xixiang liked to sit here and watch the stars and the sea every day and didn't mind her disturbing him, Lei Dianzhen would come here every day to accompany Xixiang.
According to her, she wanted to cultivate the relationship between the two parties.
After all, no matter how you look at it, their marriage was just a simple marriage of arrangement. They had not experienced anything before, so it was natural that they had less understanding of each other.
For Saigo, marrying Raiden Makoto was just a spontaneous act. He admired Raiden Makoto's character, but it was not to the point where he had to marry her.
But Raiden Shin doesn't think so. Inazuma and Liyue are similar in some cultures, and the tradition of women is to take care of their husbands and children.
Lei Dianzhen is a very traditional woman. She must fulfill her duties as a wife, understand her future husband, and cultivate feelings with him.
"You're here, really!"
Saigo didn't look back, but just spoke softly.
"Well, these are some traditional Inazuma snacks I made. Please have a taste, Mr. Zaratu."
Lei Dian Zhenlian moved lightly. Under her gorgeous, wide kimono, her pair of snow-white feet wearing tabi and wooden clogs came to Saigo's side gracefully.
Lei Dianzhen gently gathered the hem of her kimono and saw a clean cushion next to Saigo. She covered her lips with her hands, smiled charmingly, and knelt down next to Saigo.
Saigo was very casual. He would just sit on the ground and the mud wouldn't be able to stain his body.
However, since Raiden Shin has been here to accompany him every night, Saigo has also prepared a kneeling cushion for this Inazuma's god of music.
This thoughtful little behavior made Lei Dian really happy. At the very least, it showed that Saigo cared about her and that's why he paid attention to these small details.
Raiden Shin knelt beside Saigo and put down the plate, which was filled with Inazuma's traditional snacks.
There are daifuku, pancakes, and anmitsu. Although the number is not large, there is no duplication, which shows how seriously Lei Dian really prepared these.
Saigo picked up a piece of Daifuku and put it in his mouth. It melted in his mouth and was soft, sweet and fragrant, with red bean paste inside.
"Mr. Zaratul, how is my cooking?"
Lei Dianzhen asked with a smile.
Xixiang swallowed the big blessing in his mouth and said, "...The wedding is in a few days. You don't have to call me like this. You can call me more intimately."
Lei Dianzhen thought about it and asked tentatively: "...Then, my husband?"
After saying this name, she turned her head away rather shyly, lifting her wide sleeves to cover her pretty face, as if she was extremely shy.
Saigo chuckled and said, "...This is a good name, I like it."
After a pause, he continued: "...The cake you made is really delicious, much better than your sister's."
When Lei Dian heard Saigo mention Ying, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Previously, Ying cooked personally to celebrate her sister's wedding, but her cooking skills were hard to describe. All we can say is that it was fortunate that the poison could not kill her.
Lei Dianzhen laughed so hard that his body shook, as if he was thinking of the unhappy look on Saigo's face at that time.
After a long time, she calmed down her thoughts and leaned slowly and gently on Xixiang's shoulder.
Like Saigo, she looked up at the fake night sky and asked softly, "...My husband, what are you thinking about when you sit here every day?"
"The continent of Teyvat is just a tiny part of this infinite world. What I am thinking about is how many dangers are hidden in the wider world."
"...and whether my great wish can be fulfilled."
Saigo spoke in a calm tone, as if hiding countless mysteries.
Lei Dianzhen thought about it, and she shook her head and said: "...I don't understand what my husband is thinking, but I believe that my husband has lofty ambitions."
"… All I think about is Inazuma, and all I worry about is the people of Inazuma."
“I don’t think too much about the long-term. I only care about the beauty of the present moment and the people sitting next to me.”
"…For me, this moment contains all the beauty in the world."
Lei Dianzhen gently raised his hand and grabbed the stars in the sky, as if he wanted to grasp the fake starry sky in his hand.
"¨"You are different from Ying. She always thinks about the future, thinking about the future of Inazuma and the future of you sisters."
Saigo said softly.
"Ying is looking too far ahead and never paying attention to the present. I'm afraid she will regret it one day and regret why she didn't look down and look at the present."
"...Of course, I'm not saying that Ying's idea is wrong. Worrying about the future can help you be prepared for danger, but there must always be a balance."
