Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Although with his original god status, there are still many countries and forces willing to support him even if he just eats rice all day long as a mascot. But Heizo Shikanoin himself doesn't want to be a parasite forever.

But he really didn't want to take on those troublesome, boring and non-challenging cases.

After having to deal with trivial cases such as whose dog bit whose chicken, whose cat mysteriously disappeared, etc., Shikanoin Heizo finally faced this challenging case - the Muzuka Village Demon Murder Case.

"According to the investigation, half a month ago, the Fatui recruited soldiers in Wuzhong Village, and a beggar was recruited into the Fatui army."

"Then the day before the evil ghost killed people, someone saw the beggar appear near Wuzhong Village!"

Heizo Kannoin frowned. It seemed that this beggar was the key figure in this case.

This is trouble. It is actually related to the Fatui.

Recently, the Fatui and the Tenryo Bugyo reached a cooperation, and the Fatui actually installed mechanical prostheses for the disabled soldiers of the Tenryo Bugyo for free. Although everyone was very cautious at first, after seeing their colleagues who had lost limbs not only stand up again, but also become stronger than themselves who practiced swordsmanship, many soldiers soon accepted prostheses.

There are even many soldiers who originally had intact limbs who actively applied to receive prosthetic limbs, turning their originally healthy limbs into mechanical ones.

The officials who were in charge of the Tianling government were also happy to see this. The casualties among soldiers were reduced, which not only saved a large amount of pensions, but even the wounded who had no combat effectiveness due to physical defects could now appear on the battlefield.

For a time, the Tenryo Bugyo, whose combat effectiveness had increased dramatically, had frequent reports of victory. If the shogunate army had not wanted to fight the war for a longer time to make more money, they would have already broken into the Coral Palace on Kaijima and captured the mermaid priestess alive.

If it were in the past, when the Fatui were infamous, Heizo Kanoin could still find a way to sneak into the Fatui camp to look for clues to the case.

But now the Fatui and Inazuma are in a honeymoon period, and even Inazuma's reputation among the people has changed. Shikanoin Heizo's superior even ordered and warned him that even if the case could not be solved, he should not provoke the Fatui.

Moreover, so many of his colleagues have become more favorable towards the Fatui because of their prosthetic limbs. Faced with the Fatui who have done them favors, Shikanoin Heizo even worries that as soon as he proposes to investigate the Fatui, he might be tied up by his colleagues and handed over to the Fatui.

This is also the reason why Kanoin Heizo had to drive away the foot soldiers first before asking the gangster Kusama Taira.

If not, just when Shikanoin Heizo was about to report the progress of the case, someone would secretly inform the Fatui and ask them to destroy the evidence.

Since the Fatui's approach doesn't work, Shikanoin Heizo plans to investigate the case from a different direction.

According to Kusama Taira's description, there is another person who needs to be investigated, and he is also very suspicious.

Shikanoin Heizo thought about it, carefully put away the notebook containing the investigation information in his hand, and then quickly rushed towards the direction of Muzuka Village.

……

Paradise, the largest tavern on the outlying island.

In just a few days after opening, it has become a favorite haunt of Inazuma celebrities.

In the deepest room of Gokurakubo, the master of Kanjo Bugyo, the uncrowned king of the outlying islands, and the head of the Hiiragi family, Shinsuke Hiiragi, was kneeling in front of a young and beautiful woman with a respectful look on his face.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely suspect that they were seeing things.

The dignified head of the Hiiragi family, the highest official of one of the three magistrates, whose status in Inaki can be said to be second only to the Thunder God and the Yae Palace Master. But such a big man actually knelt down respectfully, showing his loyalty to a beautiful woman who looked "weak".

"Master Muzan, that detective boy from Tenryo Bugyo is actually investigating you, Master. Do you want me to send someone to kill him?"

Muzan opened his red lips and said, "No need. That kid is a Genshin after all. Maybe Ming Shen's sights are on him. Just let him go. At worst, I can just send a clone away when the time comes."

"But you, Hiiragi Shinsuke, please don't let me down."

"I didn't let my clone take your place because I thought you were a smart person. I think you should know what you should do."

Looking at Muzan who was transforming into a beautiful monster, a hint of fascination flashed across Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes, but then he immediately came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.

He did not dare to peek at Wuzan anymore, he knocked his head to the ground and said respectfully:

"Master Muzan, most of the nobles and officials on the outlying island have been to Jilefang. The entire outlying island is now under your control."

"The next batch of nobles from Narukami Island are also on their way here at my invitation. But that old fox from the Kujo family has been refusing to accept my invitation."

Wuzan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Even the most cunning old fox will reveal his flaws. Be careful not to let him suspect me."

"I don't think I can survive under the might of Narukami."

"As a reward for your loyalty, I will turn you into a ghost with endless lifespan, keeping you young forever." Muzan still knows the principle of giving someone a beating and then giving him a sweet treat.

There was a fire in Shinsuke Hiiragi's eyes. At his age, he was powerless even if a naked beauty was placed in front of him. His only wish was to let his daughter carry on the Hiiragi family.

But now that infinite life is before him, why not let himself lead the Hiiragi family forward.

Think about the old fox in the Kujo family. The opponent he had fought with for a lifetime could only lie in bed waiting to die, but he could still live.

If it weren't for his fear of Muzan, Hiiragi Shinsuke would have laughed out loud.

Moreover, because Muzan is afraid of the Thunder God and says that he is willing to be the Thunder God's loyal dog, Hiiragi Shinsuke believes that he has not betrayed the Thunder God. When the Thunder God appears, with Muzan's ability and strength, he will definitely be subdued as a follower of the god.

By then, he might be able to use this achievement to lead the Kanjo Bugyo to become the largest force among the three Bugyo, and make that old fox Jiu Tiao die of rage, hahahaha.

At Muzan's signal, just as Hiiragi Shinsuke was about to retreat respectfully, someone suddenly broke in.

Hiiragi Shinsuke was both shocked and angry. He was shocked because he was worried that he would anger Lord Muzan, and he was angry that someone on the outlying island dared to disobey his orders and break in without permission.

"Father!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shinsuke Hiiragi looked up and his eyes widened immediately, and he found that the person coming was actually his daughter, Chisato Hiiragi.

"Chisato, why are you here? Is this where you should be?!" Hiiragi Shinsuke was anxious and angry. He had always treated his daughter like a treasure, but now she broke in and disturbed Lord Muzan. Even though Lord Muzan seemed to value him, Hiiragi Shinsuke had not forgotten that Muzan was still a man-eating demon.

Hiiragi Shinsuke doesn't think that Muzan will always tolerate his rudeness.

But Chisato Hiiragi is still his daughter. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Shinsuke Hiiragi had really invested his feelings in her and worked hard to train Chisato Hiiragi to be his successor. Although Shinsuke Hiiragi no longer needs to train his daughter to become the head of the Hiiragi family, his feelings for her are still there.

I can't just watch my daughter die in front of me.

At this time, Chisato Hiiragi also realized that something was wrong.

As the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family, Chisato Hiiragi's position on the outlying island is extremely valuable, and every day there are people who want to curry favor with her and please Shinsuke Hiiragi.

Therefore, even though she was at home, Chisato Hiiragi was well aware of the news outside. After all, Shinsuke Hiiragi doted on his daughter. As long as she said she wanted to know about the outside world, there would be countless people around her vying to tell her interesting stories outside.

So naturally, Chisato Hiiragi also knew that there was a tavern called "Gokurakubo" on the outlying island. It was said that there was a beautiful dancer in it who was so beautiful that she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Originally, Chisato Hiiragi would have just listened to this news for fun and then let it go. No matter how beautiful a woman was, could she be more beautiful than her, more beautiful than Princess Shiragi, the magistrate of the society?

But my father often went to Jilefang and did not come home at night (actually he was helping Muzan to trick nobles into coming here), how could this be tolerated? Could it be that my old and frail father was looking for a stepmother for me?

This won't work. Even though Chisato Hiiragi has become a little naive because of Shinsuke Hiiragi's protection, she also knows about the grievances and love-hate relationship between the vicious stepmother and the poor stepdaughter from those fairy tales.

So Chisato Hiiragi decided to go to Jilefang to catch the adulterer.

Along the way, Chisato Hiiragi had no trouble passing through after revealing her identity. Originally, when she arrived near Gokurakubo, she should have been stopped by the evil spirits planted by Muzan around Gokurakubo, but Muzan wanted to watch a good show, so he ordered the evil spirits around to let her in.

And Chisato Hiiragi didn't find anything wrong. After all, isn't it normal that people who knew her identity wouldn't dare to stop her?

But looking at his father kneeling respectfully on the ground, Hiiragi Chisato knew that his family seemed to be in trouble.

Something is seriously wrong.

Chisato Hiiragi also knew that his stubborn old father was just a plaything for a top noble like him, even if she was beautiful. And considering Shinsuke Hiiragi's old and frail appearance, it was hard to say whether he could still get hard.

Moreover, Chisato Hiiragi could feel that her father's emotion was not anger and shame caused by his scandal being exposed, but fear and worry.

Who is he worried about? Who is he afraid of?

thump—

Hiiragi Shinsuke knocked his head heavily on the ground, ignoring the blood on his forehead, and begged: "Lord Muzan, please spare my daughter's life. I will let her stay by your side as a maid, and I will never complain even if I have to work like a slave."

Shinsuke Hiiragi has his own considerations.

Given Muzan's suspicious and cautious character, anyone who has seen Muzan's true appearance would either turn into a ghost or flower fertilizer. (In fact, this beautiful woman is not Muzan's true appearance, but Hiiragi Shinsuke didn't know that Muzan has the ability to change his appearance.)

In order to save the life of his daughter Chisato Hiiragi, the only option was to turn her into a demon and leave her with Muzan.
