Su Han listened to the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi and said in surprise, "Hey, don't tell me you bit your tongue?"
"Who bit their tongue… your whole family bit their tongue…"
The fox immediately retorted.
But that lisping tone, wasn't it really from the pain?
Su Han was highly suspicious.
A full ten minutes passed.
Only then did Yae Miko recover. Thinking back to the previous topic, she asked, "You're not joking, right? The God of Wisdom of Sumeru actually asked you for help? That's the God of Wisdom."
"Why is that impossible? What if she was sealed inside the Sanctuary of Surasthana by her own subordinates?"
A simple sentence.
Yet it revealed an enormous amount of information.
Yae Miko's thoughts raced, and she quickly pieced everything together.
"So the reason there's been no news for five hundred years is because she was cut off… What are those people trying to do? A group of mortals actually daring to control a god…"
Yae Miko felt it was utterly absurd.
She realized she had underestimated the situation in Sumeru.
However, what interested the fox most was not this, but Su Han's decision.
"So what do you plan to do?"
"Of course, I'll come up with a plan and help her take back control."
"You!!!"
Hearing this, Yae Miko was so angry her fur practically stood on end.
Well, well.
So he was looking down on her, was he?
The Grass God asked for help, and he immediately agreed.
But when she had begged so hard before, it had been completely useless.
This clearly meant he did not take her, Yae Miko, seriously.
"You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I can't guarantee I won't come over personally."
The fox gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.
She had been searching through materials day and night these past few days, and in the end, this scoundrel went off to please someone else.
It was infuriating.
As soon as Su Han heard that Yae Miko wanted to come over, he was immediately startled.
Damn.
This woman had gone crazy.
Su Han definitely did not want to be chased down and beaten by her, so he quickly said, "Wait, listen to my explanation."
"Fine. I'll give you three sentences. Otherwise, I'll head over tonight."
Yae Miko's tone was ice-cold, as if she had no emotions at all.
Su Han could even hear the sound of sharpening a blade.
Was this woman planning to chop him with a sword?
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Su Han immediately said, "Don't you wonder why I asked Kaedehara Kazuha to investigate the Delusions?"
Yae Miko, who had been darkly sharpening her blade, paused in surprise.
"Inazuma's situation is far more complicated than Sumeru's. Think about it. Who does Inazuma have to deal with? It's divine beings. But Sumeru is only dealing with mortals."
That did make some sense.
At the same time, Yae Miko remembered something else.
She had not revealed everything.
She had been hiding Raiden Ei's identity all along.
Thinking of this, Yae Miko suddenly felt that she had not handled things properly.
"I'm sorry. I was a bit unreasonable just now."
"No, no. The main issue is that I didn't explain things clearly."
When dealing with a cunning fox like her.
One must remember.
Never follow her line of thinking, or you will definitely be led astray.
Even when admitting fault, you cannot fully go along with her.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Han took the blame onto himself, the fox immediately smiled.
"You really are sly. By the way, I have some good news to report. Regarding the swordsman you mentioned, I found some similar records in unofficial histories."
"Tell me quickly."
The moment Su Han heard there was information about his past life, he immediately sat up straight.
Inazuma.
Mount Yougou.
Yae Miko picked up the documents and said, "There is very little information about this swordsman. At present, we only know that he was a wandering traveler who was injured. His name is unknown, he was under thirty years old, and he appeared shortly before the calamity five hundred years ago. He also had some connection with our fox clan."
"What else?"
"According to the records of a fox clan elder, his techniques could split mountains with a single strike and slaughter countless demons. However, it seems he was ultimately devoured by the calamity, leaving behind only a decayed blade that was sealed away."
"A blade?"
"Yes. But I couldn't find it. Even the storage at Mount Yougou doesn't have it. We only know that this weapon could change forms and was extremely powerful. However, no one after him could use it. Either they were rejected, or they couldn't awaken it. In the end, its whereabouts became unknown."
Su Han frowned.
It still felt like there were no clear leads.
He could not even confirm whether this person was truly his past life.
Moreover, since it was an unofficial record, its authenticity was uncertain.
If he could find that weapon, perhaps more memories could be awakened.
"Sigh, it seems there's still no definite information."
"I'm sorry. I searched all over Mount Yougou these past few days, and even went through items in nearby villagers' homes before finding this one piece of information that matched your requirements."
Su Han nodded and said, "You've worked hard. Otherwise, in a few days, I'll go take a look myself."
"You're coming to Inazuma?"
A hint of surprise appeared in Yae Miko's voice.
She had long wanted to meet Su Han in person, but did not expect it to happen so soon.
Su Han replied, "Yes. First, I can't put the matter of that swordsman out of my mind. Second, you're also facing some difficulties, so I'll come over and give you some guidance."
"That's wonderful. When will you arrive? I'll arrange the best hot spring bath in Inazuma for you."
A hot spring bath?
Su Han was momentarily stunned.
Could it be that kind of bath?
If he remembered correctly, Inazuma had a mixed bathing custom.
And with so many pure and elegant shrine maidens on Mount Yougou, if they all bathed together…
Just thinking about it was exciting.
"There's nothing much going on these next few days. How about I come tomorrow? But I won't be that fast, I'll probably arrive in the evening."
"Alright, I'll go make preparations right away."
After hanging up, Yae Miko quickly walked out of her room.
Dozens of shrine maidens bowed respectfully upon seeing her.
"Hotaru, go down the mountain and purchase some delicacies. A distinguished guest will arrive tomorrow. Also, have Satomi prepare the hot spring bath. This guest must not be neglected."
"Yes!"
The shrine maidens quickly sprang into action.
Although they did not know who this distinguished guest was, the fact that Lady Guuji valued him so much was enough to show that he was no ordinary person.
Tidying the courtyard.
Cleaning the rooms.
Even the water in the bath needed to be replaced.
The shrine maidens were extremely busy.
Meanwhile, Yae Miko walked to the mirror and sat down gently.
Looking at her reflection.
She smiled softly and said, "It's been years since I've dressed up like this, hasn't it? What a bargain for him."
The fox gently took out a box of cosmetics and began to apply her makeup.
Ever since her falling out with Raiden Ei, she had not bothered with such refinement anymore, after all, there were not many people coming up the mountain to worship.
The next day.
Su Han instructed Shenhe to train Lumine, Diluc, and the others, then went around to several major trading houses.
This trip naturally could not be wasted.
Various supplies still needed to be prepared.
Of course, this was not for free.
He still needed to make some profit.
Otherwise, who would be willing to do such troublesome work?
