I'm a male god in Liyue

At noon, everyone ate at the most famous restaurant in the area, and was quite satisfied.

The boss seemed to think Xia Zhen was some kind of incognito Thunder General on an inspection tour, and refused to accept payment for the meal.

In the end, they had no choice but to put the money under the plate.

After having lunch and taking a walk, we prepared to climb Yingxiang Mountain.

Looking up at the height, it was just as terrifying as the towering clouds.

Everyone then voted and ultimately decided that it was better to take a car up.

There's really no need to make things difficult for yourself when you're traveling.

Once inside the hovercar, it began to rise into the air.

As we approached the shrine, the car jolted slightly, but then returned to a steady ride after a short while.

Xia Ci glanced at Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen looked away guiltily, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.

She almost forgot that there was a no-fly zone around Narukami Shrine.

Fortunately, Xia Ci intervened in time and stabilized the car, otherwise it would have flipped over.

The hovercar suddenly appeared above the shrine, immediately attracting the attention of the shrine maidens.

Someone ran into the shrine, seemingly to inform the person in charge.

The hovercar landed. As always, Xia Zhen was the first to step out of the car when the door opened.

The priestesses were taken aback when they saw Xia Zhen, then bowed their heads respectfully: "General."

It's the General again.

Xia Zhen sighed inwardly and asked, "Where is the Divine Child?"

"Master Yashiro is behind the shrine."

"I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."

"Yes."

Although the priestesses sensed that the general seemed somewhat different today, they dared not look at him too closely.

After all, that thunderous aura couldn't be faked.

Everyone got out of the car and looked at the huge and ancient shrine in front of them, their eyes filled with surprise.

Charlotte looked up at the towering cherry blossom tree and said, "You really have to see it up close to truly appreciate its awe-inspiring presence."

Ying'er reached out and caught a pink petal, saying, "It's because of the fragrance. When you look through the binoculars, you can see the scene, but because it's only a visual effect and not a sensory effect, it doesn't feel real."

Charlotte's eyes lit up: "That's right! As expected of a perfumer, you found the key right away."

Xia Zhi was observing the witches who had approached earlier.

From his God-like perspective, these witches all have a progress bar on them.

Most of them are progress bars for iron, and a small portion are progress bars for silver.

This means that they are all quite strong, on par with the guardian knights of the Church of Zephyr in Mondstadt.

At that moment, Xia Zhi suddenly smelled an unusual fragrance in the air.

The fragrance is hard to describe; it's simply very enticing, with a seductive aura.

Following the source of the fragrance, Xia Zhi looked in that direction from God's perspective.

A moment later, a woman with long pink hair and dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit came into his view.

A platinum-colored progress bar was hanging on her body.

As expected, this pink-haired woman should be the current owner of Narukami Taisha Shrine, the "Yaonori-no-hime" that the shrine maidens just mentioned.

The woman's gaze swept over everyone before landing on Xia Zhen.

A bright light instantly shone in her eyes.

Surprise, doubt, memories, fear, caution...

Xia Zhen didn't notice the other person's hesitation. She gave her a gentle smile and said softly, "Little fox has grown so much already."

Seeing that familiar, gentle smile, the woman finally cast aside her doubts and softly called out, "Master Zhen...you...you've finally returned."

Xia Zhen reached out and caught a cherry blossom petal, saying in a complicated tone, "Actually, I've never left all these years."

She has always been with the Divine Cherry Tree, but because her remnant soul is too weak, her consciousness cannot be clear.

Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko paused for a moment, then asked, "Huh?"

Xia Zhen smiled and said, "Let's not talk about those things for now. Let me introduce you to each other first."

Yae no Miko sensibly introduced herself first: "Greetings, esteemed guests. I am Yae no Miko, the high priestess in charge of Narukami Taisha Shrine."

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

The most interesting one is Zhu Zi, a local who grew up listening to the legends of this Yae no Miko.

In her heart, the position of this Yae no Kami is similar to that of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun in the hearts of the Liyue people.

But now, this adult is being so respectful to Xia Zhen, even addressing her as "Master Zhen".

What the heck is this?!

In the entire Inazuma clan, shouldn't the only one more esteemed than Lord Yae no Miko be Lord Raijin?

Xia Zhen reached out and put her arm around Xia Zhi's shoulder, introducing him intimately as the first person to do so: "Divine Child, this is my cousin, Xia Zhi."

Yae no Miko bowed slightly and greeted, "Natsu-kun."

Xia Zhi nodded in response: "Hello, Lord Yachong."

Yae no Miko smiled slightly: "You can just call me Miko, Xia Jun."

No wonder her cousin calls her a little fox; her smile is truly captivating.

Unfortunately, I am blind.

Xia Zhen then took Xia Ci's hand and introduced her as the second person to introduce her: "This is my cousin, Xia Ci."

Yae no Miko looked at Xia Ci, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise.

She had only been looking at Xia Zhen and hadn't paid close attention to the person next to her, but now she realized that the woman's face looked very familiar.

It was like... back when the Seven Gods gathered in Liyue, it was just a little fox, nestled in Zhen's arms, seeing the face of the Great Tree King...

No way? No way?

Didn't that previous Grass God mysteriously disappear? Could he have been resurrected like Shin?

But to be truly addressed as a sister, it seems there's only one possibility.

A few thoughts flashed through Yae no Miko's mind, and she bowed her head to greet her: "Miss Xia Ci."

Xia Ci smiled friendly: "Mr. Bazhong."

"You can just call me God Child."

Xia Zhen continued the introductions: this time it was Shen He and Gan Yu, then Xia Le and Xia Lin, followed by the two True Lords, and then the others.

Yae no Miko silently remembered this and invited everyone to go inside the shrine for tea.

The location is an open-air courtyard behind the shrine.

It's next to the sacred cherry tree.

A gentle breeze blows, and countless pink cherry blossoms drift down from the treetops, some landing in the teacup, adding a touch of cherry blossom fragrance to the tea.

Xia Zhi had seen this scene in her dream.

However, the cherry tree in my dream didn't seem to have produced that many cherry blossoms.

Perhaps it's just the wrong season.

When I dreamed about it, it was still winter.

Xia Zhi picked up his teacup and drank some tea.

The tea is excellent, comparable in quality to the first flush of Qiaoyingzhuang.

But it's still not as good as the [Silver Dew] sold in the system shop.

Charlotte asked in a low voice, "May I take a few pictures? I don't want to take pictures of the shrine, just the sacred cherry tree."

Yae no Miko looked at the phonograph in her hand and nodded with a smile: "Of course, I can do such a small thing."

Charlotte then happily began taking pictures of the sacred cherry tree from various angles.

Klee couldn't sit still and said she wanted to go play.

After receiving permission, the three little ones ran off together.

Zhu Zi said he wanted to go to the shrine to draw a fortune stick and asked if anyone else wanted to go. He received a lot of responses.

Soon, only a few people who knew the truth remained at the table.

Xia Zhen turned her head to look in the direction of the castle tower and said, "Did you inform Ying?"
