Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 226 Narukami Grand Shrine

At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka walked out from the door of Kamisato's house, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in her hands.

She walked gently behind the three of them and asked in a gentle voice, "Three of you, I'm ready. Shall we set off now?"

Paimeng turned around and looked curiously at the gift box in Kamisato Ayaka's hand. He couldn't help but ask, "Linghua, what are you holding in your hand?"

Kamisato Ayaka looked down at the gift box in her hand and replied with a smile: "This is a gift prepared for Lord Yae. It contains 'fried tofu'. After all, we are asking for a favor, so bringing this small gift to show our sincerity and respect is very necessary."

After hearing this, Paimeng said happily: "Linghua, you are so thoughtful. We didn't expect this."

Kamisato Ayaka smiled modestly and replied, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. Then, let's go."

Kamisato Ayaka, holding carefully selected gifts in her hands, led Shao Yun and others out of the house, turned right, and slowly walked along the winding mountain road towards the Narugami Taisha Shrine on the top of the mountain.

It takes considerable effort and time to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

Although the mountain road is no longer as dilapidated and neglected as in the original plot, Shao Yun and others still spent a lot of effort in the climbing process.

In order to be in the best condition to meet Yae Goddess, Kamisato Ayaka asked everyone to stop and rest from time to time and appreciate the scenery in the distance.

After walking intermittently along the mountain road for a while, Shao Yun saw the vermilion torii gate appearing on the road ahead and knew in his heart that they were about to reach their destination.

Standing in front of the "Temizuya" outside the Naruto-taisha Shrine, the shrine maiden "Inashiro Hotaru" noticed the arrival of Kamisato Ayaka and her group.

She walked forward, bowed slightly, and asked politely, "Hello, Ms. Kamisato, is there anything we can help you with today?"

Kamisato Ayaka nodded slightly and replied politely, "We have come here specially to visit Lord Yae. May I ask if Lord Yae is in the shrine now?"

Inashiro Hotaru turned sideways, pointed to the shrine behind her, and said, "The chief priest is currently admiring the scenery in front of the sacred cherry tree. Do you need me to inform him?"

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head slightly and said calmly, "No need to bother, we can just go there by ourselves. Thank you for your kindness."

Daocheng Yingmei smiled and responded: "You're welcome, I hope you have a good time here."

……

Inside the Narugami Taisha Shrine, the sunlight shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows like golden threads, falling on a beautiful and mysterious woman.

Her long pink hair cascaded down and was tied up at the ends.

She has fox ears, and the earring on her left ear is inlaid with a divine eye of thunder attribute.

She was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume. Compared with the ordinary shrine maiden costume, her two pairs of white and slender legs were exposed, as crystal clear as white jade.

This woman was Yae Kamiko. She stood under the sacred cherry tree, gazing quietly at the sacred cherry tree that had been carefully trimmed into the shape of a fox.

At this moment, her ears suddenly moved slightly and she heard a subtle sound.

She turned around slowly and her eyes fell on a figure walking in the distance.

I saw Kamisato Ayaka walking towards me with a gift in her hands and a smile on her face.

"Oh my, isn't this the daughter of the Kamisato family, Princess Shiraha? How come you have time to visit my shrine today?" Yae Kamiko raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and a hint of curiosity and smile flashed in her eyes, as cunning as a fox.

Kamisato Ayaka walked up to Yae Shinko, bowed gracefully, and handed her the gift in her hand, saying softly, "Ms. Yae, I apologize for disturbing you without permission today. I hope you like this small gift."

Yae Shinko took the gift box, sniffed it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She exclaimed, "Oh my, this familiar smell, it must be fried tofu! I like it very much. Miss Linghua really took the trouble."

Kamisato Ayaka saw a smile on Yae Shinko's face, and she said respectfully, "Master Palace Administrator, I'm so glad that you like this gift."

Yae Kamiko's fingers gently touched the envelope that was handed to her with the gift. She opened it carefully, her eyes fell on the letter paper, read the familiar words of Kamisato Ayato, and understood the purpose of Kamisato Ayaka's visit.

"I see. What about the three travelers?"

Kamisato Ayaka turned around and looked at the three people who had disappeared, muttering, "Strange, they were behind me just now?"

Just then, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng rushed over. There was a reason why the three of them were delayed for a while.

Shao Yun stood at the door and took out his diary to draw, while Ying took the opportunity to take Paimeng to open a teleportation anchor point that no one else could see.

Yae Shenzi smiled, glanced at the three people, and then said kindly: "If I am not mistaken, these three should be travelers from foreign countries, Mr. Shao Yun, Miss Ying, and Miss Paimeng, hello."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to Ying and said with emotion: "It seems that we are quite famous."

Yae Kamiko gently stroked her lips with a smile on her face. She said, "Haha, of course. The famous blonde traveler and her white companion, and you, the prototype of the protagonist of the light novel "The Gunlance Killer from Fontaine", how could I not know you?"

After listening to this, Shao Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "That book is so fake, you must not take it seriously..."

The real situation is even more surprising than what is written in the book.

Yae Shinko stepped forward, looked at Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun carefully, and finally said: "My name is Yae Shinko, I am the chief priest of Narugami Taisha, the editor-in-chief of Yae-do, I am very happy to meet you. The head of the Kamisato family wrote to me, so, what do you want to see me about?"

Seeing that the other party got straight to the point, Shao Yun also answered directly: "We want to see the Thunder God. Mr. Ayato said that you are the only one in the entire Inazuma who has the ability to let us see the Thunder God, so let us come to visit you."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Yae Shenzi touched his chin thoughtfully and said to himself: "So that's how it is..."

After thinking for a moment, Yae Shinko cast her eyes on Kamisato Ayaka who was standing beside her, with a amiable smile on her face, and said softly: "I'm very sorry, Ms. Kamisato, please leave us some private space, okay?"

Hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka first looked at Yae Shinko, then looked at Shao Yun and others around her, and quickly nodded and said: "Okay, then I will wait for you outside the shrine."

After saying that, she turned around, walked outside the Naruto-taisha Shrine, and waited quietly.

At this time, only Yae Shenzi, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimon remained in the shrine.

Yae Shinko crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a strong curiosity in his eyes, and asked: "There are only four of us here now. I want to ask, why do you want to see the Thunder God?"

Shao Yun looked around and his eyes fell on the witches in the distance who were busy sweeping the ground with brooms.

Yae Shinko noticed his actions and clapped her hands gently, signaling the priestesses to stop.

The priestesses stopped what they were doing and looked up at Yae Kamiko, only to see her pointing towards the entrance of the shrine.

The priestesses immediately understood what she meant. They picked up their brooms and temporarily left the shrine.

Yae Shenzi turned to look at Shao Yun, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She smiled and asked, "Now, there is no one around. I am very curious. The head of the Kamisato family wrote to me personally, and Miss Kamisato personally led the way for you. There is no one like you in the entire Inazuma family, so can you give me an explanation?"

Shao Yun took a deep breath and explained seriously: "It was the Wind God of Mondstadt and the Rock God of Liyue who asked us to come and see the Thunder God. As for the reason... it's very complicated. Anyway, we have no 'bad intentions', we just want to see the Thunder God."

Yae Shinko nodded gently, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered softly: "Oh, so it turned out that you were entrusted by someone..."

The letter Kamisato Ayato wrote to him already told her the purpose of their visit. She was not surprised by the answer, but the curiosity in her eyes did not diminish.

Then, Yae Shenzi's eyes fell on Shao Yun again, and he asked calmly: "I know about your affairs, but I need to clarify one thing, do you want to see the 'General' or the 'God of Thunder'?"

When Paimon heard this, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked in confusion: "Isn't General Raiden the God of Thunder?"

The corners of Yae Shinko's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a mysterious smile: "Don't be fooled by appearances. The Thunder General in the castle tower is actually just a puppet, not her real self."

Hearing this, Paimon and Ying couldn't help but feel confused and lost.

"Ah? What is going on? Where is the real Lord Thundergod?" Paimon racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Yae Shenzi recalled the events of five hundred years ago, sighed helplessly, and explained: "This is a long story, and the circumstances are very complicated."

However, Shao Yun waved his hand nonchalantly and said lightheartedly: "It doesn't matter, a puppet is fine too. As long as I can see it, it's fine."

As long as he can see the puppet, then seeing the Thunder God will not be a problem. He has plenty of ways to get the Thunder God's real body out of the "Pure Land of One Mind".

Like a duel in front of the emperor, or simply burning down the castle tower.

Seeing Shao Yun's firm attitude, Yajen Shenzi nodded slightly and continued: "Well, if that's the case, the difficulty will indeed be reduced a lot, but there are still some difficulties."

"If it was a month ago, I could even invite the 'General' to meet you at Naruto-Taisha Shrine, but now, alas..."

Shao Yun heard the statement from a month ago again and asked curiously: "Mr. Lingren also mentioned a similar statement. What happened a month ago?"

After hearing Shao Yun's doubts, Yae Shenzi glanced at Ying and Paimeng with her charming eyes, then blinked, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Can I only tell you, Mr. Shao Yun, about this matter?"

Shao Yun was puzzled. He frowned and wondered what this damn fox was up to!

So, he asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because..." Yae Shenzi glanced meaningfully behind Shao Yun, chuckled, a sly smile appeared on his face, and then said in a mysterious tone: "You know."

Shao Yun was stunned, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

His heartbeat began to speed up and he felt almost suffocated by the nervousness.

After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

He pursed his lips and spoke to Ying and Paimon with difficulty: "Ying, Paimon, how about...you two go visit this shrine first?"

Ying stared at Shao Yun and Yae Shenzi with wide eyes, completely unaware of what had happened between them. She asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on?"

Shao Yun gently touched Ying's golden hair and said softly, "Ying, be obedient, don't worry, leave everything to me."

Ying looked at Shao Yun's firm and confident eyes, and a feeling of trust surged in her heart.

Although she was still a little confused, she still chose to believe Shao Yun. She nodded dazedly and said, "Okay..."

Ying and Paimon went to admire the beautiful scenery of Naruto-Taisha Shrine.

Shao Yun stared at the Eightfold Son of God with a serious face.

“You saw that one!” Shao Yun said in a serious tone.

Yae Shinko raised her eyebrows, pointed at her beautiful eyes, and responded nonchalantly: "Yes, foxes can see a lot of strange things with their eyes. But who is the guy behind you? Can you introduce him to me?"

Before he finished speaking, Yae Shinko was suddenly stunned, with a look of regret on his face, and said softly: "Oh, the guy behind you is quite shy. I just glanced at it, and it disappeared directly."

Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but widen his eyes and secretly marveled in his heart. This cunning fox is too bold, that guy is a devil!

He immediately realized that he couldn't let Yae Shinko continue to pester him, so he quickly changed the subject and asked anxiously, "Don't worry about it! What happened a month ago?"

Yae Shinko's fox ears moved slightly, as if he had sensed Shao Yun's nervousness.

She blinked and replied softly, "A month ago, Inazuma's ley lines were disrupted for a whole day, and then they returned to normal in an instant."

"This abnormal phenomenon caused some problems for the 'General', so she stayed indoors. As for what happened specifically, I'm not sure."

Shao Yun muttered to himself in his heart: "The ground veins are disordered? What is going on?"
