Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

Shaking his head and taking a sip of tea in the cup, Lin Feng gave a truthful answer.

"You mean Sister Ganyu? Hmm~ Based on her personality, it's unlikely she would choose this plan."

The pink-haired fox Gong Si smiled slightly and mentioned someone Lin Feng knew:

"The Rock God has been with Liyue for so long that the people of Liyue describe him as a father figure who is always there. They even respect him more than they fear him. Their first reaction upon seeing him is to approach him."

"Affected by this, the Liyue immortals, including Sister Ganyu, have also undertaken a contract to protect Liyue and its people. Naturally, they cannot accept such a great loss."

"."

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"But although both are ruled by gods, Inazuma's situation is completely different from Liyue's."

"—Honestly, have you sensed a closeness to and trust in the gods from those in the magistrate's office?"

"According to my old friend's way of governing the country, I'm afraid that for the Kujo and Hiiragi families today, all that remains is fear and reliance on power."

With a slightly sarcastic smile, Yae Shinko shook her head, not giving any face to her own gods and shogunate officials in her words.

"indeed so."

Lin Feng nodded:

"The situations in Liyue and even Mondstadt are very special. The history of gods walking alongside the people is too long.

The people there don’t believe in that power, but in the gods themselves. Even if they don’t appear for a long time, it doesn’t prevent the gods from being integrated into culture and life. As for Inazuma now.”

He didn't finish his words.

"Oh, as expected, Your Excellency has noticed it too."

"If the common people still remember the kindness of Aying in clearing the abyss, then for the Bugyosho, it is simply faith in this power that can protect their survival. I am very clear about this."

Yaejinko didn't hide anything. She was very clear about Inazuma's current situation. She laughed at herself and even added some specific reasons:

"—Akage isn't as adept at acquiring information from the outside world as those two gods. The current 'Shogun' controls Inazuma solely through reports from the Three Magistrates."

"--Now that they have the support of those behind the scenes, the magistrates have become accustomed to wantonly spreading false news and war reports.

Once they develop this feeling that "the gods are nothing more than this," how can they truly feel awe towards a "god" that they can fool?

"."

"Indeed, this is enough reason for you to have no good feelings towards them."

After listening to the words of the Eightfold Son of God, Lin Feng nodded. He could only say that the current situation was not without reason. The restricted information channels were indeed too fatal for the gods.

And if that was the case, then the reason why Haiqi Island in his memory was able to hold out for such a long time against the regular army was probably because the battle reports submitted by the magistrates were all "great victories" without exception.

"However, if you don't care about the loss of the magistrate's office, and even intend to use this opportunity to reshuffle the cards,

Aren't you worried that this is just a conspiracy to use the Abyss to devour Inazuma?"

After he finished speaking, he observed Yae Shinko's reaction with great interest. He wanted to know what kind of answer he would give:

——This isn't Paimon, who can be easily tricked into having his face pinched by giving him two bites of food. The pink-haired fox in front of him is not a naive and simple guy who will trust others unconditionally.

Not to mention that the power of the abyss is something that many people cannot avoid. Even if you only look at his past deeds, the degree of threat he poses is far beyond Inazuma's tolerance threshold.

"Oh, Your Excellency, you're joking. At least I've never worried about that."

"Aying's current condition is very dangerous. Your Excellency should be aware that isolating oneself to avoid wear and tear is ultimately only theoretically feasible."

"In my opinion, without being able to see others and having no reference points, the shadow within is more likely to devour my old friend."

"At the moment, Inazuma seems stable, but she is already terminally ill and doesn't have many options.

Your Excellency's power would even voluntarily retreat from Zhidong, so there is no need to resort to such laborious means to harm Inazuma. Therefore, I judge that Your Excellency must have a complete plan."

"As for the planned losses, what if they are really serious?"

Yaejinko paused, then smiled and pointed to the two pink fox ears on her head:

"As you can see, I am just a fox. My loyalty is only to the land of Narukami Island and my god, not to the magistrate."

"If you really intend to harm Inazuma, what can a fox like me do?"

"Is it like those stories in Yaedo, that if the pure and kind fox fairy lets someone touch its tail, all this can be avoided? That's too..."

"."

".?"

"Well why are you silent, and where are you looking?"

As we were talking, we suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

It was just a joke as usual, but I found that the "reinforcement" in front of me seemed to have a really moved expression.

Yaesugi paused, thought of the fluffy tail she had carefully cared for, blinked her eyes, and had a vague sense of foreboding.

"."

".It's nothing, just normal distraction."

He shook his head and tried hard to suppress the evil thought in his mind of wanting to touch anything furry.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and decided to skip this topic for the time being:

"I understand your thoughts. In fact, I don't intend to cause too much damage to Inazuma's homeland."

"The initial "Abyss" attacks will focus on the Fatui's activity areas, and at most will accidentally injure some shogunate officials who are colluding with the Fatui.

If she was attracted to the "Special Commissioner," she could avoid unexpected losses.

"After this initial period of peace, if all goes well, my helpers will successfully cause your deity to turn its gaze to the outside world."

"—Then, in that truly difficult battle, where countless lives were lost, I promise in the name of the 'God of Authority' that those who died in that battle will be given a second chance."

".Do it again?"

Suddenly hearing an unexpected word, the pink-haired fox paused and blinked, seeming a little confused.

But soon, after thinking about the being in front of her ability to control the earth veins, the fox ears on her head that were originally shaking slightly suddenly froze, and she finally understood what this meant:

".If what I'm thinking is correct, then the rumors outside are indeed too conservative."

"."

I lowered my head slightly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After a moment, he seemed to realize that his current behavior was not conducive to this meeting and subsequent negotiations.

The pink-haired fox also sighed softly and returned to its usual elusive appearance:

"Huh, it seems I've made a great deal this time. I was able to find such a helper."

". However, knowing this kind of thing is still too much pressure for a harmless little fox like me.

If we had made a wrong bet at the beginning, I’m afraid Aying and I would have been helpless and vulnerable.”

There seemed to be some fear in his words, but it was hard to tell how much of it was true and how much was false.

Although she was in Inazuma, she had never personally seen this god display his power. Although she had some vague guesses, she was not very clear about how much stronger the person in front of her was than her old friend.

But now, after hearing about this almost unbelievable miracle that can cover the entire territory,

She suddenly realized that the gamble she had taken this time was indeed quite big. If the other party had any idea, he would sacrifice both Aying and herself.

Lin Feng: "."

No, what do you mean? Are you serious about covering your tail?

Although I have no resistance to cats, dogs and Paimon, I will never force them to eat. I will at least feed them some dried fish.

".Hmm? Could it be that what the Palace Master just served was fried tofu?"

"I heard that the foxes of Inazuma are a little special and they all like to eat things like this. I don't know if it's true or not."

We have talked about enough today. It concerns the three great magistrates and Umijima Island. The detailed actions are very complicated and do not need to be explained all at once.

After taking two bites of the food, I was surprised to find that the cooking skills of this palace official were quite good.

Shaking his head and looking at the fox in front of him with its ears tucked in and its tail covered, Lin Feng simply changed the subject.

".Hmm, fried tofu?"

"—Oh, this is all just a misunderstanding. Foxes like fried tofu? Of course not."

Shaking his head with a look of sarcasm on his face, Yae Shinko obviously did not agree with such a statement.

"Well, I understand. After all, you are a big monster. I think this kind of thing is difficult for you..."

"—You know, it's not that the foxes of Inazuma like fried tofu, but rather that golden and crispy fried tofu itself is the most delicious food in the world!"

Lin Feng: “.?”

"——"Tianshui Tofu" from the east of Inazuma Castle is soaked in mountain spring water, cut into palm-sized jade blocks, wrapped in a clean cloth and placed on a bluestone to dry for three hours.

Take them out carefully and put them into a special fried tofu oil pan that is heated slowly over a warm fire. The oil temperature cannot be wrong at all.

Finally, the tofu, deep-fried until amber-colored, is tossed three times in "Kagura's Treasure," a mixture of sake, mirin, and three-colored kelp. This fried tofu is considered a delicacy for any creature, except for demons!

As if he had become a different person in an instant, as if he had touched some unavoidable bottom line, this shrewd pink-haired fox suddenly began to talk endlessly about the benefits of fried tofu.

He refused to admit that it was the foxes who preferred fried tofu, but then tried to emphasize that fried tofu itself was the most delicious food in the world.

Seeing this situation that was like covering one's ears and stealing the bell happening to the pink-haired fox, Lin Feng paused and felt a unique sense of dislocation for a moment.

".Ahem, that's enough, Miss Yae. I already know how to make the best fried tofu."

"I have a friend who was just as enthusiastic when introducing water to others. I remember him describing Inazuma's water as having a 'long aftertaste'."

They all seem fine under normal circumstances, but when their hobbies are mentioned, they instantly become another person.

Thinking of the changes that had taken place between the dignified and solemn "Chief Judge" and the shrewd and casual "Palace Master" before him,

Lin Feng sighed slightly, realizing that special hobbies are indeed very dangerous:

—Luckily, I don't have any special hobbies. At most, I just like to spend time with my two little ones at home and occasionally pet the cat, dog, and Paimon. This is all normal and not my fault.

"Hmm? Water? Is there something special about Inazuma's water? Could it be from the Musang Blade Hazama?"

It was unclear what Lin Feng was thinking, nor did he realize that his ears had not stopped moving when he was promoting the Fried Tofu Cult.

When she suddenly heard that there was someone who had such an incredible hobby, Yaesugami also showed an expression of confusion.

"Well, I don't think so. As for the Wuxiang Blade Slot, the water there should be more than just a 'long aftertaste'."

I thought that no one would like to drink water that could electrocute people, so I decisively refused on behalf of Villette.

Looking at the golden square objects on the plate in front of him, Lin Feng discovered that Yaezamiko liked fried tofu, which was probably the same as how Kirara was caught by dried fish. Both were characteristics of the Inazuma monster.

".The taste is wonderful, the cooking time and seasoning are just right. The Palace Master's cooking skills and the magic of preserving the food are both excellent."

Seeing the pink-haired fox in front of him trying to prove something, he fetched a plate of fried tofu from somewhere. After taking a tentative bite, Lin Feng also recognized the other party's accomplishments in fried tofu from the bottom of his heart:

——If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably the result of spending hundreds of years on a dish, reaching the pinnacle of perfection, and the proficiency is so high that even Guoba can't find any problems at all.

"Hmm, could His Excellency the Palace Master tell me, do all foxes think fried tofu is the most delicious food in the world?"

"Oh, of course. At least I haven't seen any exceptions."

"That's good."

Looking at the affirmative expression of the Eightfold Son of God, Lin Feng nodded with confidence:

"——In that case, I will provide some better ingredients next time. I'd like to trouble the Palace Master to help me make a dish of fried tofu for a friend."

I haven't forgotten the words I heard when I first came to Narujin Taisha Shrine.

After going around in circles, in the end, he actually helped the pink-haired fox who lost his information because of playing around to solve the problem of Shenying in disguise.

Thinking of the flag this guy had set at the beginning because no one taught him a lesson, Lin Feng felt that if it was a reward, he would have to watch the two foxes fighting in order to barely make his money back.

Chapter 468 Traveler? Haha, that's as ridiculous as the appearance of an abyss monster on an outlying island!

On the other side, the outlying island.

At the same time that it was decided to launch an abyss invasion on Inazuma at Narugami Taisha Shrine,

At the island registration office, a certain little yellow-haired girl, unaware that she was about to appear as the "Princess of the Abyss," was still racking her brains over how to leave legally.

——Although when they first arrived, the scenery here really brightened their eyes after seeing so many thunderstorms and dark clouds, and they thought that this journey might not be so bad.
