Teyvat: Girls who sell comics, please have some self-respect.

"Although the fox in the comic is a bit clumsy, it's still quite powerful, isn't it? Hmm, it really suits this fox spirit's taste..."

Yae no Miko popped a piece of fried tofu into her mouth and continued reading. Lately, this fox had been really bored, and she was happy to finally have something to amuse herself.

The shrine maidens outside, hearing the priest's laughter coming from the backyard from time to time, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Inashiro Hotaru asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you today, sir? Why are you so happy?"

She hadn't seen her husband so happy in years. Was he making fun of Zaoyou again? But that shouldn't be the case; the child had been busy these past few days and hadn't had time to come back to Yingxiangshan.

The girl next to her, Ringo Gento, whispered, "It should be that one."

"Which one?"

"It's a recent manga from Yamashita Island. I just got back today and I secretly picked up two copies. The main characters are a human and a fox."

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Inashiro Hotaru suddenly realized that if that was the case, then it made sense. But no matter what, as long as the adults were happy, that was fine. After all, it was really tiring for Inashiro to have all the burdens on his shoulders.

When Yae no Miko woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She looked at Inashiro Hotaru, who was dressed in her clothes, and instructed her: "Tell Captain Hokuto that it can be sold in Yae no Miko, so that she doesn't have any worries. Then send her the order as previously planned, and increase the share of the wound medicine by 50%."

"I understand, sir, but what if the people who are in charge of the Heavenly Ranks intervene?"

Knowing those guys as I do, Inashiro Hotaru will eventually set her sights on the manga, and that will be troublesome.

To everyone's surprise, Yae no Miko's face turned cold as he said, "They're just bullies relying on their master's power. If they dare to make a move this time, then don't send any more medicine over there."

"Yes."

In fact, the Tenryo Magistrate had repeatedly sealed off Yaedo by virtue of the Shogun's orders, but unfortunately, the fox was resourceful and always chose to temporarily avoid the limelight. However, this time the situation was different. The goods were brought from overseas by Hokuto, and Yae no Miko was particularly fond of them.

We will absolutely not let those guys from the Heavenly Territory set foot on it!

When Hokuto, who was far away on an outlying island, received the news, it was already noon. Looking at the letter, she said to Inashiro Hotaru, "In that case, we'll deliver the goods here. The price is 6000 Mora per book, no deception."

"No problem. By the way, Miss Beidou, my master said that you can come and go frequently from now on! But please don't land on the outlying islands anymore. We've established a temporary small port on one of the smaller islands."

Looking at the new map sent by the other party, Beidou knew that the recent thunderstorms were going to change, so the previous route could no longer be used. She also understood that the popularity of the manga and the continuous appearance of it in a short period of time would make that Lord Miyaji uncomfortable.

So he nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll make arrangements elsewhere next time. Wan Ye is ready to set sail."

"Yes, Sister Beidou."

With the sailors' hard work, Hokuto's fleet finally left the coast. This time she made a lot of money, especially from the comics, which doubled in value. Moreover, with the priest's permission, she could basically live comfortably just from transporting the comics.

On the way back.

Beidou approached Wanye and, seeing the other staring blankly at the island, asked, "Missing home?"

"It's not just that my thoughts are a bit chaotic; I've been thinking about a lot of things. After reading Mr. Su's comics recently, I realized that I've really been running away from everything. No matter what I encounter, I always run away. If only I could be a real man like Zhang Chulan."

Looking at the utterly melancholy Man-yeo, Hokuto fell into deep thought. After a long while, she said, "If I remember correctly, you came to my ship because of family matters, right?"

"Yes, I carry not only the hopes of my family, but also the wishes of my friends. But unfortunately, I'm too weak; I don't dare to face that bolt of lightning directly."

Kaedehara Manba's face was full of bitterness. If possible, he would also like to stand in front of that general and speak his mind.

Chapter 121 The Dejected Fox Finally Regains His Confidence (Fifth Update)

）

"I didn't realize you had so many worries on your mind. How about I show you the right path?"

Beidou leaned against the boat, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair.

Kaedehara Manyo asked in confusion, "What clear path?"

"I know someone whose strength is unfathomable. If you can win his approval, you might be able to revive your family. Of course, whether he is willing to help you depends on your efforts."

"Then who is he?"

"Of course, he's the owner of the comic book store. Don't let his status as a businessman fool you; he's incredibly powerful. I've tried to challenge him to a duel several times, but Ningguang always stopped me. It's such a shame."

Upon hearing Hokuto's words, Kaedehara Manyo fell into deep thought.

His father was very open-minded and therefore did not want him to live his whole life for the family. But if there was even a glimmer of hope, Kaede Manba still wanted to give it a try. If he didn't even have the courage to try once, then he would really become completely despondent.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Beidou. If it really helps to revitalize the family, I will definitely work very hard!"

"Haha, you're welcome. I only offered this advice because I saw you've been worrying about this lately. You have to keep looking forward; you can't stay stuck in the same place."

"Yes, Beidou-jie is right. I will try my best."

The fleet slowly left Inazuma. What seemed like a terrifying thunderstorm to others was nothing to the Southern Cross fleet, since they had a navigation chart.

Meanwhile, Yae no Miko, after finishing the story of Fox Spirit Matchmaker, was still somewhat unsatisfied, and felt very sorry for Yan Ruyu's story.

"What a pitiful child. It's a pity that he listened to others' slander and ended up letting the woman he loved marry another man. Fortunately, there is reincarnation."

The fox let out a long sigh. She turned to look at the giant Thunder Cherry Tree in front of her, and her thoughts gradually drifted back to five hundred years ago, when she was just a little creature perched on someone else's shoulder.

But when the dark calamity struck, all that was beautiful was torn apart by the darkness.

"If only that person could be reincarnated, or rather, could truly be reincarnated, then Shadow wouldn't be so stubborn. Alas, everything is predestined."

The sly fox raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. She rarely got drunk; at most, she would only sip a little.

But after reading the comic today, instead of making me happier, it brought back more memories of the past, so I could only drown my sorrows in alcohol. Unfortunately, after drinking, Lord Miyaji became even more melancholy.

The priestesses standing outside the door looked worried. They had never seen the priest like this before, but none of them dared to go over while he was venting his emotions, otherwise they would surely be tormented.

After a long while, the scumbag fox put down the comic book in his hand and started reading Under One Person.

She hadn't planned to watch it originally, since she didn't really like the art style, but after hearing from Hokuto that it was pretty good, she picked it up and started watching. As a result, what she saw made Yae no Miko gradually calm down.

Because she picked it up randomly, the top one is the newest volume, which is the chapter on "What is a Human".

When the palace chief saw Zhang Chulan talking to the monkey, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Upright and honest, what a great story! I think this comic should be promoted more, and those two powerful officials should be shown what a real person is. A bunch of bullies who rely on their master's power, instead of thinking about contributing to the country, are killing each other. They are extremely foolish."

Yae no Miko became angrier the more she thought about it. Why couldn't these guys be upright and honest like Zhang Chulan? Did they really feel good about bullying their own people?

The shogunate army of the past was not like the one of today. Even when faced with the darkest calamity, they never retreated. Instead, they roared the slogan "The Way of the Constant is vast, the God of Naruto is eternal." But what about the shogunate soldiers of today?

Not only do they bully the weak, but they also do nothing all day long, especially that silly tengu, who is loyal but incredibly stupid.

After reading for a while, Yae no Miko nodded and said, "As expected of the comic recommended by Hokuto, it's really good. Someone, go and spread the word! Especially this chapter, 'What is a Human?' Let those idiots see what it means to be a human being."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Also, please spread the story of the fox spirit more widely. Don't make a fuss when you encounter any monsters in the mountains and forests. What's wrong with monsters? Monsters are the guardian spirits of Inazuma. If it weren't for those monsters, I don't know how many people in Inazuma would have died in disaster."

"Understood, sir!"

Seeing the priest regain his spirits, the shrine maidens were genuinely happy.

With their enthusiastic recommendations, Yaedo began to sell manga with all its might, and many people were able to buy what they wanted.

For example, the leader of a gang.

"Ren, read this chapter, 'What is a Man?', to me. I heard people on the street talking about it a lot, saying that reading this comic will make you a real man."

"Okay, boss. But why are you dressed so disheveled? Were you beaten up?"

When confronted with Hisaki Shinobu's question, Araki Ichito immediately denied it.

"Of course not. I got this comic through a competition. It's so hard to buy these things, lots of people are trying to get it. You know I don't have much money, so I made a bet with the other person. He actually said he'd give it to me if I could do a hundred backflips, so I did. Haha."

Araki Ichito was incredibly proud of his victory, but he didn't see that Hisaki Shinobu was completely speechless.

Although my old man's brain isn't working well, it's unusually bad today.

However, considering that the other party hasn't caused any trouble these past few days, Hisaki Shinobu decided to help him out.

"I'm about to start explaining the comic, boss, please don't move."

"No problem. By the way, I'll have my brothers come and see it together. We can't keep such a good thing to ourselves."

"Uh, okay."

About an incense stick later, the members of the Araki faction arrived, and Hisaki Shinobu began explaining the manga. At first, she thought the manga was just something for children, but when she got to the essence of the manga, the ninja fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Arataki Ichito and the others shouted.

"Haha, so this is what a real man is like? Standing tall and upright. I, the boss, am a standing tall and upright man every day!"

"That's right, go for it, boss!!!"

"That's right, go for it, boss!!!"

"That's right, go for it, boss!!!"

Encouraged by his underlings, Araki Ichito became even more smug.

However, Hisagi Ren said, "Boss, standing tall and upright doesn't just mean straightening your back, it means... well, never mind, I'll just say it directly: doing things openly and honestly is what standing tall and upright means. If that's the case, you don't seem to be wrong."

As the conversation progressed, Hisagi Shinobu was also stunned, because his boss seemed to have never done anything wrong. On the contrary, he had done quite a few things like helping old ladies, and his reputation was at least pretty good.

Araki Kazuto was even happier upon hearing this, and even shouted, "I am a true man, hahaha, everyone passing by, come and see! The man of the Araki faction is right here. If anyone needs help, just come to me."

Thank you "Creating Fairy Universe" for the monthly pass! Love you~~~

Chapter 122 The Comic Book Journey of Xiaogong and Lei Movie (First Update)

Unfortunately, Arataki Ichito's pride did not attract anyone's attention. Instead, it drew the attention of the soldiers of the Tenryo magistrate, who surrounded him. The leader, Kujo Sara, said coldly, "Arrest him for disturbing public order."

"Hey, no! I just got out of jail, Shinobu. Help me!"

"Boss, I was just about to remind you to keep your voice down, but never mind, you go in first, I'll come find you later."

"Uh okay."

Even the all-powerful Shinobu was helpless, so Arataki Ichito could only resign himself to being captured. It wasn't that he didn't resist, but the Tengu was too powerful, and he simply couldn't beat him. Over time, even the not-so-bright Arataki Ichito realized that fighting the Tengu would not end well.

Inside the Naganohara fireworks shop.

Xiao Gong was unlike her usual lively self; she sat on a small stool, engrossed in reading a comic book.

"Wow, this story is really interesting! There are even chivalrous heroes and such, how dashing! But the Qilin and all that must be from Liyue's background, right? This is really interesting."

Due to various problems caused by the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order, the Yomi-no-miya family's business has been declining. So now she spends most of her time helping her fellow villagers. Although Yomi-no-miya doesn't want to give up, there are simply no people ordering fireworks.
