Chapter 20: The Mountain Chase, the Divine Child Appears
"Miss Walnut, Miss Bright, and Paimon!"
Ayaka Kamisato was overwhelmed by the sudden situation and could only frantically wake everyone up.
"Hmm... just a little longer... just a little longer."
However, apart from Walnut and Firefly being woken up, Paimon remained fast asleep.
"Paimon, dinner's ready! There's a big chicken leg!"
In order to wake Paimon up, Ying had to lean close to Paimon's ear and loudly deceive him while suppressing her laughter.
"Huh?! Where? Where?"
Sure enough, Paimon's eyes widened instantly, and he flew up into the air.
Seeing her like this, Ying complained irritably.
"Paimon, all you ever think about is eating! Xunfeng has run away again! Let's go find him!"
at the same time.
As Xunfeng ran outside, he saw a large mountain not far away.
So, he excitedly ran up the steps that circled the mountain. Little did he know, he was getting closer and closer to Narukami Taisha Shrine!
the other side.
As soon as Hu Tao and the others came out, they asked the guards where Xun Feng had gone, and then immediately chased after him.
However, as they walked, they discovered that there was no road left to go.
Where could he run to? There's nowhere around here.
Paimon touched his chin in confusion.
Ying sighed helplessly, "He can't possibly have run up to Shadow Mountain, can he?"
After hearing what Ying said, Paimon was ready to deny Ying's idea, but the next second, she agreed.
"Look! Isn't that figure... Xun Feng?"
Everyone's gaze followed Paimon's raised hand towards the mountains, where they saw a figure running rapidly upwards like a wild horse.
“…That running form, it must be Xun Feng!” Hu Tao affirmed, based on her experience of knowing Xun Feng for over a month.
Narukami Taisha Shrine.
"Sigh... I've finished reading the novel, and staying here is so boring~"
Yae no Miko listlessly stroked the fur on her tail, then stood up, preparing to go to the castle tower to find some fun.
Meanwhile, near the main gate of Narukami Shrine, Xunfeng quietly peeked out to investigate the situation inside.
Aside from some shrine maidens sweeping the floor and admiring the cherry blossoms and hydrangeas, there are only flowers, plants, and some houses left here.
"Ugh, there's nothing fun here..."
Xun Feng rolled his eyes angrily, then rubbed his tired calves and leaned against the wall to rest for a while.
Just then, a pink figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"God of Light?! What brings you to our grand shrine?"
Yae no Miko had gone far when she saw Xun Feng at the corner of the door.
"witch!"
Xun Feng was resting when he heard the noise. He turned around and saw Yae no Miko's naturally smug expression, which scared him so much that he turned around and prepared to run away.
"???"
Yae no Miko originally thought this guy had something important to say, but she didn't expect him to call her a witch right away!
Poor Yae no Miko, she was so angry that she was called a witch by the God of Light that she broke down and cried and screamed. So pitiful.
Yae no Miko: You better be in trouble!
Yae no Miko raised her hand and rested her chin on it, pondering, "How come the God of Light has changed into this state after just two days?"
Before Yae no Miko could react, Xun Feng vanished in a flash. Although Yae no Miko didn't know what had happened, she decided to follow him to see what was going on.
the other side.
Hu Tao ran in the lead, followed by Ying and Paimon. In just half a day, their step count was enough to top the Teyvat daily step count leaderboard!
"Ah... I really... can't fly anymore!"
Paimon was panting heavily, his head down and hands on his hips, looking like he was half-dead from exhaustion.
Left with no other choice, Ying had to carry Paimon on her back and continue the chase.
Half an hour later, Xunfeng returned to the mountainside and successfully met Hu Tao and the others!
Unaware of what was going on, Hu Tao thought Xun Feng had returned to normal when she saw him running towards her, which made her happy and ready to give him a loving hug.
Unexpectedly, Xunfeng ran right past Hu Tao, leaving her alone, still in a hugging pose, bewildered in the wind...
But Yingyan, quick as lightning, blocked Xunfeng's path and shouted at the same time.
"Xunfeng! Stop running!"
After saying that, Ying quickly pulled a lollipop from Paimon's pocket to coax Xunfeng into obeying.
Sure enough, Xunfeng became well-behaved as soon as he was given candy.
"Ying! That's a lollipop I've been treasuring for so long!"
After losing his treasured candy, Paimon turned away, indicating that he couldn't be appeased anymore!
"I'm sorry, Paimon, I'll make it up to you when we get back..."
Ying scratched her face sheepishly.
Seeing that Xunfeng had stopped, Hu Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to lead Xunfeng back to the shrine, Yae no Miko's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh my, so Lord Light God likes lollipops?"
After saying that, Yae no Miko laughed out in surprise.
She said that her five hundred years as a pink fox had been a complete waste!
First, Thor Balzeb ate a tricolor dumpling, and now the god of light, Heracles, is eating a lollipop!
Upon hearing Yae no Miko's voice, Xun Feng hid warily behind Hu Tao, sucking on a lollipop while covering his face with one hand, indicating that he couldn't see her.
To clear up the misunderstanding, everyone explained the situation to Yae no Miko, just as they had explained it to the others before.
"Ara ara, the mighty God of Light has turned into a childlike personality... Interesting."
A fleeting, almost imperceptible joy flickered in Yae no Miko's eyes.
Teasing the God of Light is much more fun than teasing Thor!
Shadow: Let me try out the knife!
"How to restore one's personality... I do have a good suggestion!"
After saying that, Yae no Miko chuckled slightly, it was unclear what she was really up to.
