Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and they saw a girl with black and red gradient hair.
She was wearing a red wedding robe and stepping on petals of Sakura blossoms as she walked.
The Tri-Commission, along with many Inazuma people, began murmuring among themselves.
"Who is this?"
"Did she just say the Guuji told her to do this?!"
"Huh? Someone, stop her!! Today is the day of Yae Guuji's auspicious occasion!!"
Columbia merely opened her Blood-Red Eyes, and the Tri-Commission's guards froze in place.
Unable to take another step forward, the people from Liyue smiled knowingly, drinking tea and eating Sakura Mochi, ready to watch the show.
Scaramouche shook his head lightly, thinking he could finally watch the Scummy Fox get punished by Columbia.
It was amusing just to think about it, full of anticipation. After all, he also hated this arrogant, utterly scummy fox.
This fox, for five hundred years, it seemed as if Inazuma, everything and everyone, was under her control.
It was time she suffered some setbacks and had her arrogance deflated.
Kokomi and Raiden Ei exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.
"Raiden Ei, who is this?! How dare she come alone to steal the wedding?!"
Raiden Ei, while eating Tri-Color Dango, answered Kokomi's question.
"Neither the Shogun nor I know her, and she is not human."
Kokomi clenched her own hands tightly. This girl had actually done what she herself had dared not.
Back on Watatsumi Island, she had also considered that Jingchen was forced, and had thought about a forced marriage.
But after repeated contemplation, she knew that to snatch Jingchen away from the Tri-Commission, Yae Guuji, and the Shogun, right in front of them... it was simply impossible.
Regardless of success or failure, a forced marriage would completely enrage the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine.
After all, the current war between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island was, on many levels, still a conflict between humans. But if it escalated to the level of Yae Guuji, it would become a war between humans and youkai.
And she was the strongest youkai in Inazuma right now. To completely enrage the youkai of Inazuma would lead to Watatsumi Island's utter destruction.
Between Jingchen and Watatsumi Island, Kokomi chose Watatsumi Island once more.
However, this girl was truly beautiful. Her red wedding robes complemented her features, and the black-and-red gradient made her appear so gorgeous and mysterious.
Kokomi looked at Yae Guuji on the stage again.
At this moment, Yae Guuji was still smiling, but her smile seemed forced, as if she were trying to hide something.
Yae Guuji bit her thin lip tightly, constantly comforting herself, constantly finding reasons for herself.
Who is this girl?!
She should just be some girl that young Jingchen had once confessed to, and now he regrets it, right?
Yes, that's right, that's how it is. Young Jingchen even said her voice sounded like one of his relatives.
No matter what, she wouldn't lose. The advantage was still entirely on the Guuji's side.
Columbia walked in front of Yae Guuji, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Mysterious, calm, and composed, there wasn't a trace of fear or resentment, as if everything was under her control.
Even with the height difference between her and Columbia, Yae Guuji could still look down on her.
But that feeling of unease was something she had never experienced in her five-hundred-year-old fox life.
She tried to maintain her usual expression and tone, speaking to Columbia.
"Ara ara, what brings this girl with six strange wings?
The Guuji didn't quite catch what you said earlier, I apologize, would you mind repeating yourself?!"
Especially when she spoke the word "dare," terrifying lightning already bloomed in Yae Guuji's eyes.
Columbia was still smiling faintly.
"Yae Guuji, I'm going to exchange vows with my Jingchen here, come down quickly."
"Oh?! Oh-ho? Exchange vows?! At my wedding?! On what grounds?!"
"On the grounds that my Jingchen doesn't like you, on the grounds that you, you Scummy Fox, used to bully my Jingchen every day.
On the grounds that you threatened my Jingchen with the Electro Archon's Heart, on the grounds that you were an outsider watching the show, and your incredibly arrogant attitude."
"You!!! You!!!"
Yae Guuji rarely showed an angry expression, but in an instant, it returned to normal.
But her usual scummy tone was replaced with anger.
"Lunatic, Kujou Sara, throw her out for this Guuji!! Lock her up in the Tenryou Commission.
After this Guuji and Jingchen's wedding, I will personally judge her!! I'll make her understand what terror truly is."
Before Yae Guuji could finish speaking, someone forcefully yanked her arm.
Yae Guuji looked at the man in front of her with a face full of confusion and disbelief.
"You?! You?!"
Jingchen stepped forward and tightly embraced Columbia.
Columbia was still smiling faintly. Yae Guuji's pupils constricted.
The lightning in his eyes had already extinguished, and a hint of despair was faintly visible on his face.
No, no, the bride of this wedding should be this Guuji, not this woman.
Why did this woman suddenly appear and steal him away?!
Hmm, Jingchen must have made a mistake. Yes, that's right, he made a mistake.
Explain it to this Guuji, and this Guuji might forgive you.
"Jingchen!! What... what are you doing?!"
"Yae Miko, I never had any feelings for you from the beginning. That sense of familiarity was just because of some kind of similarity."
Yae Guuji was so enraged that she started to laugh, incoherently questioning Jingchen.
"You?! Do you know what you're saying?! Little Jingchen, no, Jingchen, this Guuji, no, I, I'll give you one chance to rephrase that!!"
Just one chance, that's right, I can only give you one chance to explain!
Jingchen closed his eyes tightly.
The usually playful Yae Guuji, who was always bored and loved to tease him, was actually this flustered.
Jingchen tossed aside the white robe of the Grand Narukami Shrine's deputy Guuji, revealing a red wedding robe identical to Columbia's.
Columbia nestled close to Jingchen's side.
"Yae Guuji, hmm, it's because you always bullied my Jingchen before. This is me getting back at you for him."
Yae Guuji stumbled backward, staring at Columbia and Jingchen with utter despair and shock.
No, no, this isn't right!! It shouldn't be like this. How could there be a woman beside little Jingchen besides me?
It shouldn't be, he's mine, mine!!
Heh!! If I can't have him, I'll destroy him completely!!
Boundless purple lightning instantly spread from the Grand Narukami Shrine, covering all of Inazuma.
Hundreds of Sakura of Slaughter appeared in the sky.
When the Thunder Wabi-Sabi arrives, everything will be annihilated.
Yae Guuji's Nine Fox Tails slowly emerged behind her, her voice growing increasingly terrifying.
In the midst of the countless Sakura of Slaughter and cherry blossom petals, she extended her hand, her voice solemn yet hoarse, and declared to Jingchen with an undeniable tone.
"I give you one last chance. Destruction, or me. Choose."
(Yae Guuji, well, how to put it, for certain special reasons, I definitely have a love-hate relationship with her.
However, I always use Yae Guuji in the open world and the Abyss. I saved up Primogems for Yae Guuji for nine months.
When Yae Guuji first came out, I spent over forty thousand Primogems on her, but the results were less than ideal, but I am definitely a Yae fan.
I will also try to write her character based on the original plot.
Liyue and Mondstadt are both blessed by gods, but when it comes to Yae Guuji, the Raiden Shogun has become the one being...
Therefore, I will write about Yae Guuji herself, and she will fight Columbia.)
Don't worry, Columbia knows when to hold back. The protagonist doesn't like Yae Guuji, but I do, so that's all that matters. Amen.
