Chapter 839: Kamisato Mansion, Going up the Mountain, Asking for Lots

When Jiang Yi and General Lei Dian returned to Inazuma City, it was almost dawn.

Now I can go to Kamisato Prefecture openly.

When he arrived at Shenli Mansion, Jiang Yi saw a familiar group of refugees receiving relief food at the door of Shenli's house.

The merchants and Inazuma residents standing in line looked at the figure in white and thought he looked so familiar!

It seems that he was the one fighting with General Lei Dian.

Before he was wanted, he was also the food sponsor for the society's propaganda.

As they watched each other step into Kamisato Mansion, they whispered to each other and talked a lot.

"Linghua, good morning!" Jiang Yi looked at Linghua who was practicing sword in the courtyard.

It was early in the morning, and normally guests were not allowed to enter Kamisato Mansion at this time, but he was naturally different, and Kamisato Ayaka had given instructions, so he was allowed in easily.

"Good morning!" Kamisato Ayaka wiped her forehead. "Did you rest in a hotel outside last night? You can come to Kamisato Mansion. We have kept your room clean..."

After saying this, she always felt that this sentence was too ambiguous.

It's like a young girl waiting for her family to come home from away.

"After all, you are our distinguished guest! And my ally..." She turned her head away and stammered, "So it's natural that I value you."

Last night, Jiang Yi was clearly on Ming Shen Island, but he did not come to Kamisato Mansion to continue his temporary stay. She thought about it for a long time, wondering if he and Ying had gone to live somewhere together?

Or maybe now that the matter is over, the relationship between the allies has faded and they are embarrassed to come to Kamisato's house.

"Besides being allies, we are also friends!" she thought and added.

"Yesterday's... 'Red Stove and a Little Snow' was delicious!" Jiang Yi answered irrelevantly and said with a smile, "Can you invite me to have another breakfast at the Kamisato family? I'm a little hungry."

Kamisato Ayaka's snow-white hair swung slightly, and her eyebrows slightly raised: "Of course! But 'Red Stove and a Little Snow', there is no such thing for the time being!"

"It's okay. One serving is enough to make you savor it." Jiang Yi handed out a bunch of wild flowers of various colors and fragrances. "Last night, after I finished taking a hot spring bath, I went to find General Lei Dian to deal with the elemental power left over from the battle. On the way to Shenlifu, I happened to see a lot of half-opened, unopened, and fully bloomed flowers covered with morning dew."

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family is quite knowledgeable about flower arrangement. I wonder if these would suit your taste. Can they be used as decorations on the vase?"

Although it is a wild flower, the one in Jiang Yi's hand is also a rare flower that is rarely seen by ordinary people and grows on high cliffs and dangerous forests.

"Hmm..." Kamisato Ayaka held her chin up, "How about I teach you later?"

There was a sense of joy in her voice, and she was obviously happy.

"Okay!" Jiang Yi replied.

The pairs of eyes around their waists suddenly understood, and Yandora, Fanan, and Yingda finally understood why Jiang Yi went to the cliffs and the dense forests to pick flowers.

Shiranui and Yuki Onna looked at this scene in confusion. Is this the master's... future mistress?

Have breakfast at Kamisato's house and study flower arrangement for an hour.

In response to Kamisato Ayaka's questioning, Jiang Yi also explained in detail what happened last night.

"You and the general have worked so hard..." Kamisato Ayaka raised her hand and said, "No wonder someone reported this morning that the thunder and salt mountains in the waters around other islands have disappeared, and there are many more precious fish swimming around."

"The fluctuations of the earth's energy have returned to normal, and many plants on the island seem to have grown overnight, as if they were blessed by the gods."

"Do you need to rest for a while? I can wake you up in the afternoon!"

Jiang Yi shook his head: "It's okay. I took a hot spring bath last night to relieve my fatigue. I don't need to sleep and rest."

"Really?" Kamisato Ayaka was a little worried, "Okay!"

"You suggested to the general last night to abolish the 'lockdown order'. Although it was unsuccessful, the general did allow the Inazu people who sneaked across the border to obtain passes." She called someone, "I will go inform the Xiao Palace and tell those hiding in the Mulou Teahouse and other secret places."

"This good news will cheer them up, right? Yesterday, when they heard that the 'Eye Hunting Order' was abolished and many people's wanted warrants were cancelled, they were very envious." Kamisato Ayaka smiled, "You are another great contributor to this matter."

"So you can get a reward? Next time you go to Inazuma City and see them, can you treat me to a meal of all Inazuma's food?" Jiang Yi joked.

"Well..." Kamisato Ayaka said, "At least, our Mulou Teahouse allows you to eat for free!"

"Then Taroumaru will probably cry!" Jiang Yi thought of the Shiba Inu boss at the counter. He would turn into an Inazuma ninja dog that night and try to find a way to make money.

"But I'm relieved that you and the general can get along like this. I was worried that you would be... held accountable." Kamisato Ayaka lowered her head. Jiang Yi had gained the faith of the Inazuma people. What did the general think of this "new god"?

"General, you are sometimes very generous." Jiang Yi said, "You are not a cold-blooded 'executor'."

He couldn't tell Kamisato Ayaka that there were two generals, so he could only say this.

"Maybe you are different!" Kamisato Ayaka felt that only Jiang Yi would say that. They had been fighting so fiercely before, but now he was praising General Lei Dian.

"After completing my goal, I feel a little bored." Jiang Yi said, "What plans do you have for today?"

"We are preparing for the festival and fireworks display. In a few days, you won't be bored anymore." Kamisato Ayaka said, "Enjoy the atmosphere of the Inazuma Festival! It's different from Mondstadt and Liyue!"

"Now, I'm going to Narukami Taisha Shrine? Do you want to come with me?" she invited. The festival and the shrine are inseparable, so she wanted to meet Yae Miyabi.

"Let's go together." Jiang Yi nodded without thinking.

Maybe you can see fireflies on the mountain.

It was just the right time to throw Yandora and the others over, and let Ying take them to participate in the "Anti-Lightning General" training created by Yae Shenzi.

When she went out, Kamisato Ayaka saw a group of residents holding relief food at the door.

"Today's relief food has been distributed, why don't you leave?" she asked puzzledly.

A shrine maiden and a shrine official guard nearby said, "They want to see Lord Jiang Yi!"

"Me?" Jiang Yi looked at the residents.

These people have been waiting for quite some time.

"We are here to thank... you for your support. The food helped us get through the most difficult times. No matter what your relationship with the rebels is, you are our benefactor." An old man took the lead, and everyone knelt down to Jiang Yi, then left.

They were not the ones who wanted to disturb such an important figure. It was obvious that he had something to do with the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family and had to go out. They did not dare to let Jiang Yi waste too much time on such small figures as them.

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka walked towards the mountain road with a red torii gate leading to the Naruto-taisha Shrine on the top of Kagemukai Mountain.

"What's wrong with you?" Kamisato Ayaka asked, "They are very grateful to you, but you don't seem happy."

"Because... I saw awe!" Jiang Yi said, "Awe is a poison."

He hadn't noticed it before, but today, he felt the power he brought for the first time.

Everything seems like a lifetime ago.

"Your power, your status, what you do... will naturally be revered by others." Kamisato Ayaka looked at Jiang Yi and thought for a while before she understood what Jiang Yi meant.

"You shouldn't be afraid." She said, "I believe in your heart."

"Really?" Jiang Yi smiled, "I believe it too."

When he really falls, someone will raise a flag in his favor!

He and Kamisato Ayaka moved forward step by step. Halfway through, with the help of the lightning element and the lightning seeds on the branches of the lightning cherry, they rode the lightning all the way up.

The floating stones surrounding Yingxiang Mountain became the background for the two people's fleeting silhouettes.

On the mountain path that spirals around the top of the mountain, passing through numerous torii gates and walking along a path covered with fallen petals, you will arrive at the red temple, the main hall where the Lord Takenami-jin is enshrined.

Under the sacred cherry tree that covers the shrine, Kamisato Ayaka was not in a hurry to find Yaeyama.

After bowing your head and entering the torii gate, wash your hands and rinse your mouth in the hand-washing room, and then complete the process of paying homage to General Raiden.

Gently place the incense money into the money box and ring the bell to inform the gods.

Bow twice, put your hands together and clap twice, put your hands together and pray devoutly, and bow again.

As a member of the Inagi clan and the eldest daughter of the shrine, she has to visit the shrine every day unless there are unexpected circumstances.

Jiang Yi also had no scruples and followed the process.

There is no piety in my heart, but I am serious about it.

"Let's go and draw a fortune!" Kamisato Ayaka suddenly said.

She also draws lots on a regular basis, and the lots from Narujin Taisha Shrine are very effective.

"Okay!" Jiang Yi said he was a visitor, but in fact he was more like a tourist who came here to experience the exotic culture.

The two found the shrine maiden, shook the fortune stick tube, and soon each of them got a divine fortune stick.

First, it’s Kamisato Ayaka.

"Good luck."

"The wind blows away the heavy frost on the leaves, but who will the little reeds with roots waiting for?"

After drawing the divination, the next step is to interpret it.

The meaning of this sentence should be interpreted in reverse: Who is the little reed with its roots waiting for? The heavy frost on its leaves is blown away by the wind.

If combined with recent experiences, it is hard for the branches to bear the weight of snow, so who is waiting? The frozen world finally welcomes the day of warm weather.

The person who had been waiting had been found, the Inazuma Eye Hunting Order had been lifted, and the moment of ice and snow melting had indeed arrived.

So it’s good luck.

Jiang Yi took a look at his signature.

"Good luck."

"Peach branches overlap, and the red threads are slender."

"The spring breeze does not stay for long, and fate ends the heartstrings."

He took a look and hid the signature instantly.

It’s better not to let other people see this kind of marriage fortune!

By the way, I didn't specifically ask for a marriage, so why did this kind of fortune slip out? Could it be that Yae no Miyabi is behind this?

He was suspicious for a moment.

"Oh my! Why do I hear someone talking about me in their heart?" Yae Shinko said, "You two came here together, what did you ask for?"
