After that, Rosalyn never did that again.
Although she would tease him from time to time, she would never do something like today, teasing him and then adding an aggressive remark at the end. It didn't seem like a playful banter, but rather like she was deliberately trying to provoke him to achieve some goal.
"Neuropathy."
Rosalyn had just given a cold laugh when a large hand suddenly grabbed her neck.
The suffocating feeling surged into her brain again. Rosalyn's cherry lips parted in pain, her body instinctively struggling on the sofa, and tears of pain welled up in her eyes.
But soon, Lin Jiu'an realized something was wrong.
Her plump, beautiful legs went from kicking wildly to pressing tightly together, and an expression appeared on her face that seemed to indicate she was enduring something.
After Lin Jiu'an released her grip, Rosalyn took a while to recover, glaring at him with murderous intent.
"Lin! Jiu! An!"
Are you testing my limits?!
Seeing Rosalyn's reaction, Lin Jiu'an was completely certain of his earlier guess.
This woman is probably...
Do you enjoy being choked?
"what ever."
"You've already delivered the message, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Rosalyn took several more breaths, seemingly unwilling to continue the discussion about what had just happened, and coldly asked, "Where is my payment?"
"I didn't expect you to still remember this."
"What, trying to renege on my debt?" Rosalyn sneered. "No one can renege on my debt."
"That's not what I meant."
After making the "contract" with Zhongli, he said he would give Rosalyn a small gift after the deal was done.
"Close your eyes first."
Why should I close my eyes?
"Fine, don't shut it down then."
Lin Jiu'an then took something out of his pocket and tossed it to her.
Rosalyn took it.
It was a necklace inlaid with a yellow diamond that emitted a faint elemental power.
"It was given to me by Morax. I thought you would look good wearing a necklace, so I made one for you."
"It can withstand a full-force attack from the demon god."
"I also had Barbatos enchant you so that after you block an attack, you can be teleported to another location."
Rosalind's sarcastic "That's it?" suddenly vanished, just like when she wanted to mock him with "So small" but could only manage a "So-so" in the end. She couldn't say it at all.
This gift is far too precious.
But she couldn't bring herself to say "thank you," and could only look at the room's furnishings, trying to find a way to change the subject.
"What is that sword?"
On the bedside table where the trousers were placed, there was also a sword sheathed.
"As part of the 'contract,' Morax forged a sword for me."
“Let me see it,” Rosalyn commanded.
"Get it yourself."
"Give it to me!" Rosalind commanded again, like a queen on high.
Just as Lin Jiu'an was about to retort, he suddenly realized something and turned his head to look at Rosalina strangely, or rather, at the sofa under her butt.
"You're not going to be unable to stand up, are you?"
Seeing Rosalyn's murderous glint in her eyes, Lin Jiu'an tossed the sword to her.
"Don't draw your sword."
"why?"
"I had Barbatos and Morax add some properties to the sword, which can only be used once, and will have no effect once it is drawn."
Upon hearing this, Rosalyn's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
"Who do you want to kill?"
"Barzebu".
Rosalyn: "?"
······
Inatsume, Kamisato family.
"Ayaka?"
Hearing that gentle call, Ayaka Kamisato suddenly came to her senses and raised her head.
Then I saw a face that looked seven or eight parts similar to hers.
It was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her late twenties, dressed in a pure white dress, looking at her with concern.
Why have you seemed a bit distracted lately?
"Daughter is alright, Mother."
Ayaka Kamisato looked at her mother, smiled, and shook her head.
The woman sitting opposite was Kagami Kayo.
Her mother.
The woman who should have died ten years ago.
Ayaka Kamisato doesn't know why she was reborn, but she still seizes this opportunity for rebirth.
Using her memories from her past life, she successfully helped the Kamisato family weather the crisis that lasted ten years. Although her father eventually passed away due to overwork, she also protected her beloved mother, who loved her the most.
Ayaka Kamisato always regarded this as a gift from heaven.
They were just waiting for Ying and Lin Jiu'an to arrive so that they could resolve the issues with the Fools and the Thunder General, just like in their previous life.
Everything will then be perfectly complete.
The Kamisato family will not only survive the final crisis, but will also become the first family of Inazuma.
Her mother will always be with her.
However, before they arrived, Ayaka Kamisato heard some shocking news from Thomas.
—Lin Jiu'an's deeds in Mondstadt and Liyue.
The stories of other countries that passing caravans and Thomas discussed in their spare time made Ayaka Kamisato feel deeply uneasy.
She knew that Lin Jiu'an had also been reborn!
Since then, she has had nightmares every day, dreaming that Lin Jiu'an comes to Inazuma and does the same things he did in Mondstadt and Liyue, taking revenge on her, Inazuma and the Kamisato family for hurting him.
"If there's anything, you can talk to your mother. It's always better to have more people thinking about it than one person thinking about it."
Ayaka Kamisato parted her cherry lips slightly, but looking at her mother's gentle smile, she ultimately gave up the idea of telling her.
Don't let Mom know!
"My daughter is fine, she just didn't get enough rest last night."
As she spoke, Ayaka Kamisato stood up and gave a slight bow under the worried gaze of Hanayo Kamisato.
"Mother, I'm going back to my room to rest now."
Watching Ayaka Kamisato leave, Hanayo Kamisato looked at the unfinished shogi game on the table. The gentle smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by endless sorrow.
Known daughter Moruomu.
She had noticed the moment Ayaka Kamisato started behaving strangely.
Since ten years ago.
After Linghua suddenly matured overnight, nothing, no matter how difficult, could make her so nervous.
But ever since Ayaka heard about the 'revolution' in Mondstadt and Liyue from Thomas and learned about that person's deeds, she has been distracted.
"Lin Jiu'an, is that right?"
······
Returned to his room.
Closed the door.
Ayaka Kamisato's gaze gradually hardened.
Everything is going in the right direction.
It all felt like a dream.
The situation at Shenli's home is improving, and his mother, whom he misses day and night, is always by his side.
anyway.
She couldn't let Lin Jiu'an ruin her 'dream'.
Think of this.
Ayaka Kamisato came to the table and unfolded the paper and pen.
To Yae no Kami: ...
Chapter 1: Humans and dogs cannot communicate (5K)
The weather at sea is great today.
The weather was fine and sunny, with a gentle breeze and not a cloud in the sky—the sailors' favorite kind of weather.
A massive fleet of more than a dozen ships is sailing on the sea.
The huge flags fluttered in the wind, and any sailors who often made a living in the port would recognize them as the famous "Southern Cross" armed fleet.
The very front of the fleet.
A room on the ship "Death Star".
His room was different from the other crew members' and even Captain Hokuto's.
The room was very spacious, as if several rooms had been expanded, and it was luxuriously furnished with all kinds of antique and priceless furniture.
"Your Majesty, Captain Beidou and Mr. Fengyuan have arrived."
"Let them in."
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open by a maid.
Hokuto and Kaedehara Manyo walked in one after the other.
Watching Lin Jiu'an being served tea and water by kneeling maids, Bei Dou felt a surge of anger.
She didn't want this guy on the ship.
Actually, it didn't matter whether they got on the ship or not. They could just take one more person, and they would take them out of respect for Ningguang and the other party's "Emperor" status. But the other party actually requisitioned the entire upper floor of the ship and broke down the walls to transform it into what it is now.
He also had some pretty maids with him to attend to his daily needs.
The ship was big enough that there was no problem, but she just didn't like this person's arrogant and pleasure-seeking attitude.
He was just a passenger hitchhiking.
What did he think he was here for?
Are you on vacation?
Did he think this was his own home?
Ningguang also spoke with absolute certainty about things like, "Your Majesty, the Emperor, is of noble birth and should not stay in such a lowly room," "A long voyage at sea requires someone to accompany you," and "Your crew are all unruly men who don't know any rules; it wouldn't be good if they talked back to Your Majesty."
