Chapter 269 Return
The sea is blue and the waves are crashing. Above the boundless ocean, a few seagulls are landing on a piece of driftwood.
The sun is shining brightly, but it cannot reach the dark seabed. The underwater world has always been very mysterious, and there are many unknown species than imagined.
A corpse, completely charred with only half of its body remaining, opened its eyes in the quiet seabed. He looked around and wanted to stand up, but his body, which was missing a hand and a foot, was destined to prevent him from doing so.
Reaching out and touching the broken bone on his left shoulder, he felt as if he had endless vitality, which caused the broken bone to regenerate, the flesh and blood to condense, and the meridians to extend.
Trying to move his regenerated left arm and leg, he slowly stood up, clenched his left fist and then unclenched it, then rushed upwards.
The dead skin on his body fell off, and the black dust was washed away, revealing an ordinary face. After the thick fog passed, he was covered in a black robe, and waist-length hair grew behind his head, swaying gracefully.
With a bang, the sea surface broke open, and a man in black stood on the sea. He looked at the empty surroundings, sighed softly, and thought to himself: "System, how long have I been asleep?"
[The host has been sleeping for a total of 1,300 years, and there are still 700 years before the timeline of the present world. ]
"It took so long this time." Mo Ran laughed at himself and said, "That's right. After all, we are fighting against the consciousness of Tianli. It would be strange if it wasn't like this."
[According to the system's calculations, if Heavenly Principle did not have the Crown of Principle that forced the same level, the host could definitely defeat Heavenly Principle at that time.]
"That is to say, my strength after using the Extreme Fighting Technique is at least 40% of Tianli's original body, or even more?!"
[It is not completely accurate. The system can sense that when Tianli was fighting the host, he used part of his power to prevent the destruction of Teyvat.]
[Therefore, the host is at most within the range of less than 40% of the strength of the original body of Tianli.]
"Okay." Mo Ran did not refute, because the system's calculations could definitely not be wrong. He released the element of wind and detected his own position.
Then his figure flashed and flew towards the southeast.
The fishing boats on the sea traveled together, as mighty as troops going to war, all of them flying the Inazuma flag, with the names of their respective islands under the word Inazuma.
Mo Ran was flying high in the sky, breaking through the clouds. The statues of the Seven Heavenly Gods on each island were the most eye-catching.
Without hesitation, Mo Ran landed on the roof of the castle tower. Looking at the courtyard which was much more magnificent than before, he felt that he had missed a lot.
With a long leisurely sigh, he landed directly in the yard and walked to the door of the room where he could sense the origin. Just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, it opened by itself.
A delicate body came into her arms. It was Lei Dianying, whose figure was no different from her sister's. She cried and called out in a hoarse voice, "Brother, you are finally back!"
"Brother!" Lei Dianzhen also walked out of the room, rested his head on Mo Ran's arm, closed his eyes, and tears flowed silently.
They were all dressed in black. One had waist-length black hair and an ordinary look. The other two had flowing purple hair like tassels. They were stunningly beautiful and their smiles were enough to captivate the whole country.
Carrying these two "pendants", Mo Ran entered the main hall of the castle tower. Looking at them with tears streaming down their faces, he said gently, "If you keep crying, it will become ugly."
"It's okay, brother...you won't dislike us, right?" Lei Dianzhen rubbed his eyes, tears on his gentle and lovely face, which made me feel pity for him.
Lei Dianying tried hard to hold back his reluctance, snorted coldly, and said through gritted teeth: "It's not just for you to see!"
Originally, when she felt the origin, she had already thought of the words to curse in her mind. She had thought about how to curse, what to curse, and how harshly to curse. But the moment they actually met, she burst into tears.
Mo Ran looked at Ying who was in a bad mood, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and could only close his eyes and said, "You are right, it is definitely not for me to see!"
"Bastard!" Lei Dianying looked at that ordinary face, but he couldn't get angry. He could only treat himself as a loach and roll around in his arms to express his dissatisfaction.
Lei Dianzhen wiped the tears from her face, looked at her sister who became noisy again, and smiled happily. She hadn't seen her sister so lively for a long time, not since their brother disappeared.
"Ying, Ying, are you regaining your youth? Or are you getting older and older?" Mo Ran grabbed the "loach" in his arms by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
Lei Dianying struggled, his limbs flailing wildly. Because his clothes had not been altered, most of his arms were exposed, and his slender legs were not covered at all below the knees.
She was like this, and the difference between thunder and lightning was not much either. However, this did not cause any change in Mo Ran's eyes, because which normal person would have thoughts about his own sister? Although they were not blood relatives, after more than five hundred years, blood ties did not seem that important.
"Brother, Ying is blaming you, just leave her alone, it will be fine in a while!" Lei Dian said mischievously.
If it were in the past, she, who was so gentle and tactful, would never have done such a thing. However, 1,300 years was enough to change the temperament of a demon god.
Mo Ran also smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."
"Eh! No, no, the plot shouldn't develop like this! Why did you betray me, sister!" Lei Dianying grabbed his brother's wrists with both hands and refused to let go.
Raiden chuckled, like a pure white flower growing under the moonlight, and spoke in a gentle and caring tone, "Oh, what's the plot? Could it be what Ying told me before, that we should distance ourselves from our brother together?"
"Hehe, but when we met just now, you cried so hard that your eyes are still red. But you, Ying, do you have anything else to say? Otherwise, I want to talk to my brother about what happened in the past few years!"
"Of course I have something to say." After Lei Dianying was put down, he curled his lips and said, "I also want to introduce the Inazuma of these years!"
The two demon gods talked to each other, explaining Inazuma's current development and the changes in the system.
Today, the three magistrates are still in charge of everything on Narukami Island. As for major decisions, they are sent to the castle tower and handed over to the general Raiden Shin to handle.
As for Haizhi Island, there was no change and it had been developing peacefully. The same was true for Heguan Island. However, after Mo Ran disappeared, the thunderstorms there became much more severe.
Afterwards, Inazuma has achieved a peaceful society where humans, demons, and ghosts live together, without discrimination among them, and all penalties under laws and regulations are the same, with no favoritism.
However, the barriers between races cannot be eliminated just by saying so, but at least most of the three races have accepted the existence of each other.
After listening, Mo Ran nodded deeply and praised: "You two leaders have made great contributions to the success of Inazuma today. If literature is true, the world will be prosperous, and if warriors have shadows, the world will be peaceful."
"Brother, you are praising me too much. All my knowledge is given by you. Without you, where would we be, and where would I be with Inazuma today?" Lei Dianzhen's brows softened, and he knelt down and spoke softly.
Lei Dianying raised her head proudly, put her hands on her hips and said, "I am pleased with what you said, brother. If there is a chance for me to taste dessert, I will be respectful and submissive, and I will do whatever I say!"
"Why does Ying like to speak in a flowery way?" Mo Ran held his chin with one hand, his eyes half closed.
Lei Dianying hummed a few times and said seriously, "Because speaking like this is more profound and unfathomable, and it is difficult for people to understand your depth."
"I can tell just from hearing it that you are using an unfamiliar word. Besides, treat it as if it's the first day I met you!" Mo Ran raised his eyebrows and clasped his hands, still smiling.
Lei Dianying grabbed his arms with both hands, and shook them gently as before, revealing a pitiful face, and said in a muffled voice: "I just want to eat sweets, I want it, I want it!"
Feeling his arm being shaken, Mo Ran reached out and scratched her nose, smiling, "Excuse me, General, what dessert would you like?"
"Tri-color dumplings, lotus cakes, squirrel fish...anyhow, as many as you can get!" Lei Dianying laughed.
"no problem."
…………
For the next few dozen days, Mo Ran stayed in the castle tower, cooking, occasionally talking to Zhen about Inazuma's condition, and teasing Ying, feeling very comfortable.
On a sunny day, Kitsusaigong came wearing a fox mask, accompanied by a beautiful ghost girl, Miyano Chiyo.
The latter looked at the white-haired fox, crossed his arms over his chest, and asked, "Kisaigong, why do you always wear a mask every time you walk with me?"
"Because Chiyo is so beautiful, I would feel ashamed if I didn't wear a mask!" Kitsunemiya pointed at the chin of the demon girl, looking like a dissolute monster.
"What? Kitsune Saimiya is also very beautiful, why are you ashamed of yourself?" Miyu Chiyo said, and was about to take off the mask of the white-haired fox, but unfortunately it was easily avoided.
Hu Zhaigong chuckled, grabbed the ghost girl's wrist with both hands, threw her a charming look, and his voice was so loud that it could make people's bones numb.
"Little devil girl, you can't touch the mask of Master Kitsai Palace, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, hehe..."
Miyu Chiyo leaned against the wall, watching the beast getting closer and closer to her, and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm a woman too, don't come over here!"
"Hehehe, no one will come to save you even if you scream louder, because there is no one in the castle tower!" Kitsusaigong slowly approached, and the two delicate bodies could feel each other's body temperature and the accelerated heartbeat.
At this moment, the window next to him suddenly opened, and Mo Ran poked his head out from it, saying faintly, "Hu Zhaigong, are you cursing again?"
"Ahaha, it was just a slip of the tongue, don't mind it, okay?" The ghost girl was pressed by the thick breasts of Kitsai Palace, making her breathless. The latter quickly broke free and grabbed her collar with both hands, like a good girl being bullied by a playboy from a rich family.
"Then I'll close the door and not see any guests. What do you think?" Mo Ran stood up and closed the window.
"Hey, that's wrong." Hu Zhaigong stopped the window from closing and said with a smile, "I came to see you today because I have something important to discuss."
Mo Ran snorted and said slowly: "As long as it has something to do with your Huzhai Palace, no matter how serious the matter is, it will eventually become evil!"
"That's where you're wrong, right? How can you look at a monster with a stereotype? Monsters can change, too..."
"Stop, say it quickly if you have something to say." Mo Ran stopped him with his palm. He didn't want to listen to the fox's nonsense. Every bit of time was hard-earned and of course he couldn't waste it on this fox.
"Well, it's just a matter of your words. I thought that since we are going to build a shrine, we should build it in a landmark place, so Yingxiangshan is undoubtedly the first choice. Now all we need is your order, and we can start construction!"
"Your eloquence has improved a lot. You have persuaded Zhen and Ying. Well... it's not impossible. Just pay me the moving fee!" Mo Ran stretched out his hand.
Kitsaigong's delicate body moved, but after being accurately dodged by Mo Ran, her eyes flashed again and she said with a smile: "How about I give Chiyo to you!"
"Throw away all those dirty things in your head!" Mo Ran said word by word with a calm look.
"I said I wanted her to work to pay back the money, what did you think? And you said I had a problem, I think you are the one who is really..."
"It's okay..."
"No, no, no, the price is negotiable. Please calm down. I'll make you a cup of tea and we can talk slowly, how about that?" Hu Zhaigong said hurriedly.
"No need for tea, 100 million Mora, half for each of Zhen and Ying, no negotiation!"
"make a deal."
Hu Zhaigong's straightforward response made Mo Ran feel cold and wonder if he had said something wrong. Although he knew that her novels were selling well and she had made a lot of money, he didn't expect that she would be so generous as to throw out 100 million Mora without any hesitation.
But when you think carefully about the fox's age, it's not so hard to accept.
"You gave all Mora to them, why don't you keep some for yourself?"
"I don't need it." Mo Ran shook his head. In his storage space, the Mora that Ningguang sent back every year, one hundred million was just a drizzle, nothing.
"Hehe, my Lord is indeed a man of integrity and righteousness. When do we start moving?"
"You guys can decide the date." Mo Ran waved his hand.
"That's no problem." Hu Zhaigong patted his chest and promised.
Mo Ran said nothing, and sealed the fox's magic power with a snap of his fingers. Then he closed the window and said, "Xiao Qianyo, this fox is given to you. Do whatever you want with it, just don't let it die."
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Mo Ran!" Yu Yu Chiyo rushed to the white-haired fox and laughed wildly.
Hu Zhaigong's expression changed slightly, and he said in shock: "Mo Ran, you can't do this, something will happen, it will definitely happen, wait, Chiyo~ um... don't, no..."
"I, I didn't touch her. It has nothing to do with me." Miyu Chiyo quickly stepped back and left the white-haired fox rolling on the ground alone.
Mo Ran leaned out of the room and instructed: "Cover her mouth, put a sack around her and take her to a place where there are no outsiders, and then..."
Three days later, the shadow went to the mountain.
Mo Ran waved his hand casually and dismantled the three rooms and moved them away. Anyway, the effect would be the same if the mortise and tenon structure was dismantled and then reassembled.
Standing there, Hu Zhaigong looked at the three houses getting farther and farther away, feeling like crying but without the tears.
Originally, I wanted to rely on the general's former residence to attract people and sell tickets to make money, but this guy took everything away and left nothing. How can the fox survive?
