At the same time, my wife is myself.

"how do you know?"

Paimon looked terrified. "So, you've been following us all along?"

Qian Yuan's expression was sinister: "You've been trying to find out about the General. The guards have told me. You're obviously spies from a foreign country. You might even be sent by the Fools to assassinate the General. Come with me."

"We are not those bad Fools!"

Paimon hid behind Luminous in fear. "We're good people. Besides, who would assassinate a god? We can't possibly beat them, okay?"

"Who said that?"

Qianyuan retorted, "In the neighboring Liyue, the ancient Martial God, the Geo King, was assassinated in the street."

"No, that's..."

Paimon stopped himself in time. Could he really reveal that the Rock King had faked his death to escape? If he said it in public, everyone would know, wouldn't they?

"It's not what you think. The reasons are complicated and I can't tell you, but we're really not assassins."

"You're a riddle teller, aren't you? You can't come up with anything else, can you?"

Qian Yuan said, "Come with me obediently. We've captured many assassins like you. At first, they all stubbornly denied it, but after being severely tortured, they obediently confessed."

Paimon asked, "What if they're tortured and it turns out they're not a spy? Will there be any compensation?"

Qianyuan said, "That means they are well-trained spies. Their tight-lipped nature means their purpose is definitely not ordinary. We must strike hard and increase the intensity."

Paimon retorted, "You're clearly forcing a confession out of me. If I really go with you, I won't have a good ending."

She patted Ying on the shoulder: "Ying, say something! This guy is awful. Can you beat him? If you can't, we'll have to run away."

Ying sighed and rubbed her forehead: "Paimon, didn't you notice? His clothes are completely different from the style of the people around him. They have no similarities at all, and the material is different too. He doesn't look like Inatsume at all."

"Yes."

Paimon scrutinized Qianyuan closely. "I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. The style of this outfit seems different from all seven kingdoms of Teyvat, and even the now-destroyed Kanria wasn't like this."

She finally understood: "You wouldn't happen to be a traveler from outside the world, just like Ying, would you?"

For this land, outsiders are not uncommon, and some locals also have the means to freely travel in and out of the world.

"Your IQ has finally come online."

Ying patted Paimon's head and said, "You should be more careful."

"Snacks? Where are the snacks?"

Paimon looked around, Yingmei sighed, and Qianyuan comforted her, "Although she's a bit stupid, it's better this way. As a reserve food, low intelligence is a plus, so she'll feel like she's not a reserve food."

Paimon flew angrily to Chiyuki's side: "Paimon is a partner, not emergency food!"

Qian Yuan spread her hands: "See, I wasn't wrong."

"You bad guy!"

Paimon, in a fit of impotent rage in the air, clung to Luminous, shouting, "Traveler, she's bullying me!"

Ying patted Paimon's head to comfort him, then looked at Qianyuan: "Alright, tell me, what is your purpose in coming to me?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qianyuan. I am a visitor from another world and also the agent of the Thunder General. I was the one who set the crimes of the Heavenly Commander and the Investigation Commander, and I also found a way to cancel the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order."

"Oh it's you."

Paimon said, "So you really are a great person, it's just that your personality is terrible."

Ying was very clever and immediately realized something: "So, you have a way to let me see General Thunder?"

"So, what's the price?"

Qianyuan said, "You've come at the perfect time. The General has recently become very interested in cooking and needs someone to taste her dishes. As long as you can satisfy her, she can give you what you want."

"Tasting the food?"

Paimon's mouth watered just hearing about it. "It's food made by the God of Thunder himself! I want to eat it!"

Great, that's very energetic. I hope you keep it up.

Ying was a little puzzled: "Is just tasting the food enough? If she spreads the word, wouldn't many people be willing to taste the food for her for free? They might even pay to taste the food."

Qianyuan said, "Not everyone is qualified to eat the food she makes."

Paimon nodded repeatedly: "That's right, only people of our high status can eat it."

Qian Yuan continued, "It requires a certain level of strength and physical fitness, so that you won't get injured or die just from eating a dish."

?

Yingmei asked with a question mark, "Are you testing the food or poison?" She had a bad feeling.

When they arrived at the castle tower and saw those clumps of unidentified black objects, Ying's face turned green, and she grabbed Paimon:

"Didn't you say you wanted to try the Thunder God's cooking? Come on! You're the one I choose! My best partner."

Faced with a table full of ominous dishes, even Paimon was afraid: "I can't do it. I'm not hungry at all right now. I can't eat anything. Why don't we skip the Land of Thunder and go straight to Sumeru? The God of Wisdom might know where your brother is."

"Do not."

With the clue right in front of her, Ying had to consider whether this was her only chance. "A hero cannot desert his post."

Paimon's voice trembled: "But Paimon is not a hero. Ying, can you eat by yourself?"

Ying grinned menacingly: "We're partners, we share both good times and bad!"

Qianyuan suggested, "Since Paimon doesn't want to be emergency food, you can turn Ying into a trash can. That way, she can hold all these things. Besides, I always feel that characters who are always on the go would really like trash cans."

"Paimon is not a dumping ground!"

She tried to break free from Yingmei's large hand, but fate grabbed her by the back of the neck.

The two of them took their first bite, and a strong bitter and burnt taste exploded in their mouths.

By the second bite, I had already lost my sense of taste.

On their third attempt, their vision went black, and Paimon could no longer fly.

A true idiot.

Sengen is kind-hearted and can't bear to see beautiful girls suffer, so he chooses not to watch. Coincidentally, one of the familiars he sent out to patrol various places in Inazuma encountered someone on the Inazuma Kill List, and he planned to go and take his head.

His destination was the Evil Eye Factory built by the Fools at Inazuma.

…………

Inside the factory, filled with the resentment of demons, the Fools work diligently, producing evil eyes for their leaders.

Because the main ingredient is the resentment of demons and gods, it is a dangerous item that even yakshas are entangled in with karmic burdens and cannot be freed from. Ordinary people who come into contact with it will find it difficult to survive.

Although the Kingdom of Winter has developed a lot of equipment for this purpose, the process of making the Evil Eye is still very dangerous. A slight mistake can lead to injury or even madness.

They usually slack off, but not today. The executor of the Fools is coming to inspect, and he's a difficult executor, a straggler.

They were trembling with fear, terrified of being "optimized" for poor performance. Being optimized was not a good thing for the Fools; they might become experimental subjects for some mad scientist.

The stragglers patrolled the Evil Eye Factory. They hated Inazuma; just setting foot on Inazuma's land set off a fire burning in their hearts.

"what."

The stragglers trembled with excitement as they thought about the plans they were about to carry out and the power they were about to gain, which was comparable to that of the gods.

"Once I ascend to the throne, I will make that woman regret it!"

"You probably won't have that chance."

A blazing bolt of lightning destroyed the entire Evil Eye Factory, triggering a violent explosion, and flames engulfed everything.

Everyone died in the explosion, except for the doll.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Paimon, the railings are sweet (6k)

The stragglers knelt in the center of the scorched earth, their pale skin exposed through the burnt gaps in their hunting robes. Intricate gears were faintly visible beneath their skin. Their trembling fingertips dug deep into the mud, and the joints of the puppet emitted a screeching sound as if steel were grinding together.

This body, forged to bear eternity, is incredibly sturdy and will not be damaged by an attack of that magnitude.

For him, the attack was more psychological than physical.

"It is the power of Balzeb."

The soldier, exuding murderous intent, asked, "What's your relationship with her?"

Qian Yuan remained calm: "This has nothing to do with you, you failure."

These three simple words immediately made the scattered soldiers red-hot:

"I am going to kill you!"

The broken-defense skirmisher planned to go all out and kill the guy in front of him who seemed to be a familiar of Thor. The humming sound of overload came from inside the puppet's body. As the sixth seat of the Fatui Enforcers, his strength was considered quite good in the entire Teyvat.

Unfortunately, he encountered Qian Yuan. In just a moment, he didn't see anything clearly. He only felt a pain in his head and was kicked to the ground, creating a huge crater. His sturdy puppet body seemed to fall apart.

"Damn it, you bastard..."

The soldier tried several times but couldn't get up, so he simply gave up and lay on the ground, sneering at Qian Yuan: "Did Balzeb send you to kill me? After all these years of feigned compassion, are you tired of this charade? Send a newly adopted dog to kill me."

"No, it's just that I wanted to kill."

The lightning element wrapped around Qianyuan's fingertips condensed into the shape of a naginata. "I'm just cleaning up the stray dogs that bark in my own backyard."

"Your territory?"

The stragglers burst into laughter, "You stole Inazuma?"

“I took her away from me.”

Lightning crackled around Qian Yuan, shooting straight into the sky. A similar thunderclap echoed from the distant heavens, resonating with the lightning emanating from Qian Yuan.

“Now she and I are the closest people to each other, so her territory is naturally my territory, and I will protect my Inazuma.”

The stragglers' vocal cords emitted a sharp whistling sound, and the body abandoned by its mother trembled with jealousy:

"This is the eternity she keeps talking about pursuing? How ridiculous!"

The stragglers' faces were contorted with rage, their jealousy almost igniting their puppet-like bodies.

Qianyuan said, "As your creator, she bears an unshirkable responsibility for the crimes you committed, so I'm here to end this mistake for her."

The soldier's face was full of sneer: "Ha, the dignified Mikami no Mikoto, the supreme master of the Imperial Household, doesn't even dare to see me? Is this what a god is like?"

"There's no need to see you; it wouldn't make any difference."

The lightning in Qianyuan's hand grew even more intense. "By the way, by the way, you're cooperating with the Doctor among the Fatui Executors, aren't you? Trying to obtain the Heart of God of Shadow to ascend to godhood in Sumeru."

The stragglers sneered: "That guy came looking for you too? He's the one who sold me to you? I knew that kind of guy was unreliable. When I become a god, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget."

"No, I have nothing to do with him. I just want to tell you something."

Qianyuan looked on with pity, “The misery you have suffered, the betrayal you think you have been betrayed, apart from the fact that Ying abandoned you, was all orchestrated by him, just to make you betray Inazuma, join the Fools, and become his experimental subject.”

"what?!"

The evil eye on the soldier's body was operating at full power, and the demonic resentment was constantly eroding his body and mind. Under the condition of being overloaded, he forced himself to stand up.

He lunged at Qianyuan, trying to grab her collar: "Explain yourself!"

"I have said what I needed to say."

A blazing bolt of lightning transformed into a naginata, cleaving down and shattering the divinely created puppet. The last words the stragglers heard before their consciousness dissipated were...

"Anyway, I don't like him. I'll kill him when I get the chance, and then you can go and ask him directly if Genshin Impact exists in the afterlife."

Qianyuan conjured a ball of flame, burning the scattered fragments of the dolls and erasing the last trace of the scattered soldiers' existence in the world. This also prevented the Fools' Executor, Dr. Totole, from coming over to pick up the trash and take it home for experiments.

When they returned to the castle tower, Yingmei hadn't finished her battle yet, but judging from her appearance, it was hard to believe she could actually finish all that food. She hadn't even eaten half of it, and she was already on the verge of collapse.

"Forget it."

Qianyuan advised, "This is a long-term activity, and we'll continue eating it in the future. There's no need to try to finish it all at once."

Hearing his words, Yingmei sped up her eating. Who the hell wants to have a future with you? I've suffered so much today, do you expect me to keep eating like this? Don't even think about it, I'm going to eat myself to death here today!

Lei, who was standing nearby, said, "I'm doing this to improve my cooking skills, so you can't just eat it; you also have to give me some suggestions for improvement."

Ying froze, swallowing the charcoal in her mouth with difficulty. Did she really need feedback on this? My opinion is, well done, don't do it again next time.

Qianyuan suppressed a laugh. This dish was countless times worse than Raiden Mei's first attempt at cooking. It couldn't even be called food anymore; it could poison an ordinary person.
