I'm a male god in Liyue

She arrived at Narukami Shrine and knocked on the door of Yae no Miko's room.

"Shadow? What brings you here? Didn't you come with Zhen?"

Yae no Miko immediately recognized that the person standing outside the door was Lei Yingdian, not Lei Dian General.

Ying said, "My sister works at the castle tower, and I'll only distract her if I'm there."

Yae no Miko asked curiously, "So, what brings you here?"

"There's nothing else, I just came here to wait at the shrine."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until dawn to go find that...cousin."

"Cousin?"

Yae no Miko's expression became somewhat subtle.

"You mean Xia Jun, right?"

"Yes, I heard from my sister that he is a very good cook."

"Yes, his fried tofu is delicious. It's the best fried tofu I've ever eaten."

Recalling the delicious taste of fried tofu, Yae no Miko couldn't help but lick her lips lightly and asked, "So, what did you want from Xia Jun?"

Ying said with a serious expression, "I want to learn how to cook from him."

Yae no Miko was stunned: "???"

Ying explained, "My sister said she prefers Liyue cuisine now, so I'm going to ask my cousin to teach me how to make it."

"Wait a minute, did you make sukiyaki for Zhen tonight?"

"Done."

"Did they add slime?"

"add."

"Really, what do you mean?"

"My sister said it tastes exactly the same as what I used to make."

"……I see."

A strange expression immediately appeared on Yae no Miko's face.

"I understand."

Ying glanced at the table in the room, which also had some open pages on it.

Were you busy just now?

"Yes, the intelligence from [Youlezhai] has just arrived, and I'm currently summarizing and analyzing it."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll just sit under the cherry tree by myself."

Shadow turned to leave, but suddenly turned back and looked at Yae no Miko, asking a question.

"are you hungry?"

Yae no Miko immediately replied, "No, I'm not hungry at all."

"Ok."

Ying seemed a little disappointed as she left.

Yae no Miko quickly closed the door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 556 The Mystery of the Divine Cherry Tree (4K)

The cherry blossoms quietly swayed in the wind at night, shedding their petals.

Compared to its previous listlessness, the cherry blossoms on this tree are blooming extremely frequently, with countless new branches sprouting and their pink petals seemingly never ending.

This strange phenomenon began at the end of last year and has continued to this day.

Yae no Miko and Rai Movie were both very confused by this.

At first, they were worried that the cherry tree might be experiencing a final burst of life before its death, but as the cherry blossoms continued to bloom for a long time, their worries were dispelled.

Now, they have reunited with Makoto and learned that Makoto's "resurrection" occurred at the end of last year, which coincides with the time when the Divine Cherry Tree exhibited unusual phenomena.

They probably guessed from this that there might be some kind of strange connection between the two.

After leaving Yae no Miko's room, Kage went alone to the cherry blossom tree behind the shrine.

Standing under the cherry blossom tree, she looked up at the branches, and memories drifted through her mind like cherry blossoms.

Over the past five hundred years, she has often come to Narukami Shrine from the castle tower, just like now, and quietly look at this cherry blossom tree all by herself.

In the minds of all Inatsumi people, the sacred cherry tree has existed since ancient times.

This is a fact that has never changed.

Even Kage's familiar, Yae no Miko, thought so, and didn't understand why Kage was surprised by it.

However, this "fact" is significantly different from Ying's memory.

Because the shadow clearly remembers that there was no sacred cherry tree in Inazuma five hundred years ago.

Until that dark calamity occurred, for some unknown reason, perhaps because she was the ruler of the mortal world and had to go there, she secretly went to Kanria with the other five gods to resist the disaster.

By the time Ying rushed over, it was too late; she only had time to see her dying sister.

Zhen was already unconscious at that time, so Ying could only enter her consciousness space and say a final goodbye to her there.

It was there that, in the shadow of despair, he resolved to pursue eternity.

To witness this determination, she preserved the consciousness space that was on the verge of collapse and brought it back to Inazuma.

Upon returning to Inazuma, Kage was surprised to find a giant cherry blossom tree on the mountain, which was the sacred cherry tree known to the people of Inazuma.

At that time, everyone took it for granted that the sacred cherry tree had always been there.

No one questioned this.

It seems that only the shadow can sense that it appeared out of thin air.

With the help of the Divine Cherry Tree, Kage was finally able to quell the monster disaster caused by Inazuma.

After that, Ying didn't pursue the matter any further.

Because she realized that continuing the investigation was pointless.

She vaguely sensed that only beings who had reached her level of power could be as aware of the "alterations" happening in reality as she was.

At that time, Inazuma, who possessed this qualification, had already passed away, and she had no one to talk to.

Now, Shin has finally returned, and Kosai-gu has also returned in an incomplete form, reminiscent of Hana-sanri.

Ying reached out and gently touched the trunk of the Divine Cherry Tree, and the questions from before resurfaced in her mind.

How did the Divine Cherry Tree suddenly appear in Inazuma? Who planted it? Why does it possess the special ability to absorb the abyss's energy?

Ying's eyes narrowed slightly.

She was simply not good at handling complicated political affairs, but she was still quick-witted and intelligent.

When my sister left Inazuma for Kanria, there was no Divine Cherry Tree in Inazuma. Afterwards, my sister perished on the battlefield.

In other words, the Divine Cherry Tree should not exist in the older sister's memory.

But why didn't my sister show any unusual reaction to the sudden appearance of the cherry blossom tree in Inazuma after she came back this time?

There's also the Great Tree King, who visited Inazuma before, when the Divine Cherry Tree didn't exist in Inazuma either.

Why does she seem to take for granted the sudden appearance of the sacred cherry tree in Inazuma?

Could it be that my previous guess was wrong?

Even if they were the two former rulers of the mortal world, were they unaware of this "tampering" that was happening in reality?

Or perhaps... everyone is right, and it's just that their own memories are in some kind of confusion?

Ying stood in front of the divine cherry tree, pondering for a long time.

Her figure suddenly disappeared.

--

Hanamizaka.

As the most bustling area of ​​Inazuma, it remains lively even late at night, with many taverns and stalls still operating.

Inside a tavern, four people were enjoying drinks and conversation at a table.

"This fish tastes quite sweet and fresh."

"It's a pity the chef's skills are not good enough. It would be better if Xiangling could cook it."

"Yes, add some Yunnan chili peppers, sizzle it in hot oil, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my mouth water..."

"The best one has to be [God Jumps Over the Wall]."
