Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Ayato leaned against the study door, listening attentively to the noises outside. He was immediately disappointed when he heard that Toma, unable to bear the situation, had fled Kamisato's residence. Then, upon hearing that Ayaka had prepared several cups of milk tea for him, Ayato decided without hesitation to lock the study.

After a while, Linghua prepared the milk tea and came to the study door and knocked gently.

"Brother, I know you are in there, please open the door quickly. If you don't come out, the milk tea will get cold." However, no matter how she called, the study remained silent.

Finally, Lingren responded calmly, "I don't have time right now. Please wait a moment." Hearing this, Linghua could only sigh helplessly and turned away silently. Holding a steaming cup of milk tea in her hand, she walked towards the hall with heavy steps, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Brother, what's wrong with him..." Linghua murmured to herself, a hint of worry in her eyes. Just then, Xinyang beside her softly suggested, "I think he might be a little embarrassed. After all, he's failed quite a few times just now, so it's normal for him to be a little resistant."

Linghua thought about it and nodded in agreement with Xinyang. Xinyang continued, "We drank a lot just now. Let's go out for a walk and digest it." Linghua gladly accepted.

Due to the unexpected events five years ago, Ayaka cherished and cared for Xinyang even more deeply, becoming almost inseparable from her. Faced with this situation, Ayato was helpless and had to announce to the public that Xinyang had become the new retainer of the Kamisato family. From then on, the two of them often patrolled and inspected Inazuma Castle together.

Hand in hand, the two strolled lightly through the streets of Inazuma Castle. Along the way, they greeted merchants and passersby cordially, their faces brimming with warm smiles. Their tacit understanding transcended words; a glance, a smile, was enough to convey their feelings. The people around them, accustomed to their inseparable presence, responded with friendly greetings.

Passing by Yaedo, Shenzi's face showed joy: "Oh my, you two little guys are here again! That's great, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief~"

The editors standing nearby whispered to each other in low voices:

"Speaking of which, why does Princess Shirae always come to our Yaedo? She's the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, so she must have a lot of things to do at home..."

"Perhaps the editor-in-chief invited him specially? After all, it's normal for the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine to have some connections with the magistrate."

Xin Yang looked around and found that there were almost no customers in Yaetang. He frowned and asked, "We haven't been here for just a few days. How come there are so few customers all of a sudden? Editor-in-Chief, could it be..."

Hearing this, Shen Zi's face showed a hint of displeasure. He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, this is all thanks to you! Take a good look at the light novels around you. Which one can compare with your "Green Love" series? Currently, nearly half of Yaedo's readers are attracted by your works. However, your submission schedule is completely irregular, making it difficult for us to grasp the appropriate promotion time, and naturally, customer flow cannot be stabilized!"

Having said that, Shen Zi paused for a moment, then continued, "Oh, by the way, regarding the last book you mentioned before, when do you plan to submit it? I still need to review it quickly." There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in her voice.

Xinyang showed a pitiful look and deliberately sighed: "Oh, I finally persuaded Linghua to come to Yaedo to help you! But you kept urging me to submit my manuscript quickly. It's really heartbreaking~" As he spoke, he pretended to wipe away his tears, trying to arouse the sympathy of the Son of God.

However, Shen Zi didn't buy it at all. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said to Xin Yang, "Hmph, kid, don't think I don't know. Linghua obviously came here to help me willingly. It has nothing to do with you! Besides, look at yourself. You've only written three books in five years, and your update speed is slower than a turtle! In the entire Yaedang, your efficiency is definitely the slowest! What's even more abominable is that you actually wrote the third book in a way that's clearly a farewell but still full of suspense, and you haven't given a clear ending yet, constantly whetting the readers' appetite! And this fourth book, you've been dragging your feet for a whole year! Every time I ask about your progress, you always use the excuse of 'This is the final work, it must be carefully crafted' to perfunctorily deal with me. I think you're just too lazy and don't want to write."

At this moment, Linghua, who had been silent the entire time, finally broke the deadlock. "Editor-in-Chief, please don't misunderstand Xinyang. For the past year, he's been working on his light novel almost every day, and I've been assisting him with the illustrations. I can assure you that once this final work is released, Yaedo will be flooded with customers like never before."

After hearing Linghua's explanation, Shen Zi's originally tense expression instantly softened: "I see, so that's the case. I'm really looking forward to it even more! I wonder if you could reveal a little about the content or title of this last book?" However, in response to Shen Zi's question, the two of them answered in unison: "No!" Their tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

After chatting with Shenzi for a while, Yaedang was still deserted and didn't attract many customers. So Linghua and Xinyang decided to leave Yaedang and go to Mulou Tea House.

As soon as they opened the door, Linghua and Xinyang couldn't wait to greet Taromaru, and then walked straight to the room that belonged to them alone.

When passing the first room, Xin Yang suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. The man was sitting quietly by the window, with sunlight shining through the window on him, outlining a quiet and mysterious picture.

He has short, silver-white hair with a few red highlights at the temples, a fringe of alopecia on the sides of his head, and red eyes. He wears a dark gray samurai garb, with his outer furisode draped only on the left side of his body. The right half of his outer garment is neatly gathered at the waist, the right furisode flowing behind him. He wears two silk scarves, one black and one red, around his neck. Around his waist is an intricate maple leaf ornament and a divine eye of the elemental wind.
