"Didn't Lord Guixu promise to do something for me?"
"I've already thought about what it is: I want you to help me reverse the will of the Shadow."
Yae no Miko was silent for a moment, then spoke earnestly to Akimoto beside her.
"Um..."
Qiu Nian frowned slightly upon hearing this, as if she was about to refuse.
"Then let me ask you something else. Isn't that traveler from a foreign land your friend?"
"Helping your friends should be the right thing to do, right?"
"And what I want you to promise me is that you will help this traveler from a foreign land."
"Regardless of...whatever choice she made."
Yae no Miko smiled slyly, then changed the subject as if she knew that Akihime was going to refuse.
"Ha ha..."
"Okay, I agree."
Qiu Nian smiled and nodded slightly.
To be fair, Yae no Miko is quite intelligent.
They were all doing the same thing, but she just put it in a different way.
This statement, which seems to be one thing, has been divided into two things.
By now, Ying should have encountered three people who lost their divine eyes due to the Eye Hunt Order.
Given her personality, she would definitely suppress her desire to see the God of Thunder for the time being.
Therefore, they chose to help these people fight against the Eye Hunt Order.
And isn't Yae no Miko asking her to help Hibari just asking her to fight against the Eye Hunt Order as well?
However, although he was clever, this was still too childish for him.
Having lived for so many years, and with his God-like perspective, he could easily reject the Son of God.
But still the same sentence.
He just wanted to help, so he did.
Do I need a reason?
Just like he had promised to help the captain of the Fools' Enforcers.
He seemed about to refuse just now.
Actually, I also wanted to see just how smart this seemingly intelligent celestial being in the Genshin Impact storyline really was.
It seems that the divine child did not disappoint him; his adaptability is still very strong.
"It seems Sister Gan Yu was right..."
"He truly is a gentle deity..."
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko turned her head. She didn't say anything, but was filled with emotion.
The so-called "promise to yourself" probably just means promising yourself something trivial.
The one beside him was, after all, an ancient god.
Even a god with such unique abilities could eliminate the power of the abyss in that way.
She was actually prepared to be rejected.
Because this kind of ideological confrontation, which escalates to the level of the state and the divine, is something the other side cannot possibly agree to.
Although the other party seemed to be about to refuse when she first spoke up.
However, after I changed my wording the second time, the other party agreed.
Can't he see the meaning behind his own words?
Obviously not.
But in the end, the other party still agreed.
That only means that the other party had actually wanted to help for a long time.
He had no vested interests involved; he simply wanted to fight against the Eye-Hunting Order for the sake of the people of Inazuma.
How gentle...
Why would such a gentle god receive such a reputation during the Demon God War?
"Do you really need my help?"
Looking at the scenery below the mountain, Yae no Miko asked with some uncertainty.
"if not?"
"I don't have the habit of taking back what I've said."
"Since I promised you, I have to keep my word."
"After all, Ying and Paimon are my friends, and there's nothing wrong with helping your friends, right?"
Qiu Nian looked at the bright moon hanging in the night sky and chuckled softly.
The divine child was stunned upon hearing this.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with helping your friends, just like... me and Ying."
Coming to her senses, Yae no Miko smiled and then looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"but..."
"I wonder if I can be considered Lord Guixu's friend now?"
Yae no Miko turned her head, looked at Qiu Nian beside her, and asked with one hand on her waist.
"Of course it counts."
Qiu Nian looked at the divine child beside her and revealed a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko smiled faintly.
"As long as you don't keep threatening to strike me with lightning."
Just then, Qiu Nian added another sentence.
"Hahahahahaha."
Upon hearing this, Yae no Miko was immediately amused by Aki Natsume's words.
She covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes narrowing as she laughed.
Guixu has lived for thousands of years, sometimes very serious, sometimes very unserious.
This led him to suddenly make a joke, which inexplicably triggered the goddess's sense of humor.
She hadn't laughed like this in a long time; it was just too funny.
Chapter 176 The Divine Child Who Could Not Understand
This shrine is shrouded by a giant sacred cherry tree.
Under the bright moonlight, the moon, lamplight, and pink cherry blossoms were reflected in the pond.
Most of the shrine maidens turned their attention to Akiyuki and Yae no Miko.
Although Lord Miyaji often laughs like that.
They couldn't quite hear what the High Priest and the mysterious gentleman were saying.
But they had never seen the chief priest with such a rich array of expressions.
In their eyes, the mysterious gentleman even surpassed Lord Gongsi in terms of temperament.
"what's so funny."
Qiu Nian looked at the goddess who suddenly laughed beside her and felt very puzzled.
"nothing."
Yae no Miko smiled and shook her head upon hearing this.
"However, this is Narukami Shrine at night."
"It really is a unique sight."
Qiu Nian turned around, looked at Narukami Shrine under the night sky, and praised it.
"Twelve rows of torii gates, where cherry blossoms fall and lanterns illuminate the scene."
"The moonlight is reflected in the pool, and I pray that it will shine forever."
Looking at the scenery before him, Qiu Nian was moved and composed a poem.
"It's really catchy."
"But it really does fit Narukami Taisha quite well."
Yae no Miko rested her chin on one hand and commented with a smile.
"I don't think it fits that well."
Qiu Nian shook her head slightly upon hearing this.
"Aren't these lines of poetry you wrote yourself?"
"Could it be that the last two characters, 'Changming,' are misleading?"
"After all, you once said that there is no such thing as eternity in this world."
Yae no Miko looked at Akimoto beside her and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes... I really don't believe in anything eternal."
"Even Teyvat and other worlds in the starry sea, which seem unchanging, will disappear at the end of time."
