Chapter 224 That Woman
Chapter 224 That Woman
Actually, Shiraki was on his way to Furyu Tree when he sensed that An was in danger, which is why he suddenly came to Inazuma.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would not meet with Shadow, nor did he intend to invite Shadow to Liyue for the Lantern Festival.
But who knew that General Thunder would be in such a bad mood, crashing after being scolded by him.
Bai Mu couldn't just leave her alone, so he went to find Ying.
Now that he had already awakened Shadow, he invited him to visit Liyue.
...
"I'm not free. I won't go."
Ying shook her head, directly rejecting Bai Mu.
She never intended to travel far from home; her previous trip to Liyue was out of necessity.
For Shadow, nothing is more important than contemplating eternity.
Instead of wasting time traveling, it's more worthwhile to stay in a peaceful place and contemplate life.
"There's no need to be so quick to refuse. Actually, going to Liyue would be very beneficial for you."
"Didn't you go to Liyue last time? You should know the difference between Inazuma and Liyue, right?"
"...chirp chirp...coo chirp..."
...
After some persuasion from Shiraki, Ying's resolve began to waver.
On one hand, she longed to stay in a secluded paradise and experience eternity; but on the other hand, she yearned for the prosperity of Liyue that Bai Mu had described.
Not only does she yearn for it, but Ying also desperately wants to understand Liyue in order to change Inazuma's current situation.
Compared to Liyue, Yingzhen truly felt that Inazuma was rotten to the core.
"May I bring the Divine Child with me?"
In the end, Ying was moved.
But in order to avoid being scammed by Shiraki when they get there, Kage wants to bring his "brain" with him as well.
"Of course, Gan Yu misses her too."
Shiraki nodded in agreement immediately.
He reached out and made a grasping motion in front of him, and a pink, humanoid fox appeared in his hand.
"What's going on? Where am I?"
Holding him by the back of his collar, Yae no Miko was still a little dazed.
She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ying.
Although Shadow and Raiden General look exactly alike, Yae no Miko can still tell them apart.
"Shadow, what's going on?"
"Come with me to Liyue."
Ying said succinctly.
"Okay, okay."
Upon hearing that it was to go to Liyue, Yae no Miko agreed without hesitation.
Her eyes lit up at that moment, and she couldn't wait to get to Liyue.
"When are we going?"
Yae no Miko asked impatiently.
"You should ask him about that."
Ying glanced at Bai Mu.
Shiraki chimed in at this point.
"You and Ying should handle things here first. I also need to take care of my own things."
"I'll take you away after things are settled."
Shiraki gestured with his mouth towards Kujo Sara, who was still being ignored, and casually released her from her restraints.
Before leaving, Shiraki reached out and beckoned, and Lin Sheng's Eye of God flew out of Kujo Sara's body uncontrollably and into Shiraki's hand.
......
Wood leak tea room.
It must be because Bai Mu saved them that the atmosphere here wasn't too somber. At this moment, Thomas, Lin Sheng, and Ying were sitting together discussing something.
They were unaware of Bai Mu's appearance.
Until the white wood opened:
"There's no need to stay here for now. You two come back to Liyue with me for the Lantern Festival."
Upon hearing Bai Mu's voice, the three of them stood up at the same time.
Thomas approached Shiraki with an apologetic expression and bowed deeply.
"It was all because of me that the traveler and this Brother Lin were in danger."
"Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Bai. If you hadn't appeared in time, we probably would have been done for today."
Thomas's tone was full of sincerity; he was genuinely thanking Shiraki.
"It's all that woman's fault. It's not your fault."
Bai Mu shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Thomas's expression twitched.
He naturally knew who the "woman" Bai Mu was referring to was.
That's why Thomas's face twitched.
I bet no one in this world, except for Shiraki, would dare to call General Raiden "that woman" anymore.
...
Afterwards, Shiraki stayed in the wooden tea room for a while and chatted about other things.
After Ying and Thomas finished their conversation, Shiraki led them away.
......
Shiraki returned to the castle tower once again.
This time, he also brought Ying and two others with him.
"Bai Mu, where is this? Why did you bring us here?"
Looking at the German decorations in the castle tower, Paimont had a big question mark in his mind.
Judging from the decorations inside the house, this place still seems to be Inazuma.
"Ah?! It's her! It's that woman!"
Suddenly, Paimon, whose eyes were darting around, shuddered.
She seemed to have seen some kind of monstrous flood, and quickly shrank behind Bai Mu.
"presumptuous!"
Upon hearing someone address him in that way, Ying immediately scoffed.
She looked at Ying and Paimon, wondering whether she should just kill them both right there.
But the idea only flashed through her mind; Shadow wasn't confident she could kill them with Shiraki present.
"Don't be nervous, she's the Shadow, not the Thunder General."
"General Thunder has crashed. This one is my friend, Shadow Thunder."
Bai Mu patted Paimon's head and comforted her.
After saying that, he turned to look at Ying and said:
"How about you give me some face and refrain from fighting during the Lantern Festival? We can discuss the fighting after the festival, okay?"
Shiraki knew that Kage had always harbored murderous intent towards Ying, but this intent stemmed from Kage's beliefs, and Shiraki couldn't interfere.
He could only try to persuade Ying not to cause any trouble during the Lantern Festival.
"Okay, but you can't interfere in my relationship with her afterwards."
Ying nodded in agreement, but she also put forward her own conditions.
That is, if she wants to kill Ying later, Shiraki must not interfere.
In Kage's view, Shiraki did not want Ying to be killed by her, and if she were to kill Ying, Shiraki would definitely come to stop her.
Therefore, it would be virtually impossible for her to kill this "anomaly".
"Okay, you can do as you please after the Lantern Festival."
Shiraki reached out to calm Paimon, who was about to jump up again, and gave Ying a reassuring look.
He decided to have the Great Tree King instill in Shadow the idea that the outside world is so fun during the Lantern Festival.
Once Ying accepts this idea, Bai Mu can take the opportunity to make her give up that eternity, which is still somewhat illusory to her.
In this way, she wouldn't have to keep threatening to kill Ying.
"Has everything been resolved on your end?"
"Yes, everything has been left to Kujo."
