Chapter 266: Raiden Makoto creating opportunities!
If Ei refused, it meant the degree of forgiveness wasn't enough and needed to be increased.
But if she accepted...
Of course, he thought the probability of Ei accepting was relatively low.
They had just had a battle in the literal sense, and the lingering anger hadn't subsided; wanting her to forgive him now was almost impossible.
But who knew, Ei just looked at him with an extremely disgusted expression, then snatched the three-colored dango from his hand quite rudely.
Her movements were unceremonious.
Luo Li was stunned for a moment, then saw Ei casually bite the half-eaten three-colored dango into her mouth, chew it carefully for a while, and her long swan-like neck slid gently.
Interestingly, Ei didn't look at him directly during this time, as if he didn't exist.
It's done!
The signal Ei was sending now was very clear; although she ignored him, Luo Li understood that the hardest hurdle had passed.
Kitsune Saigu and Raiden Makoto clearly understood, and couldn't help but let out low laughter as they looked at each other.
Ei seemed a bit unable to hold her face, and glared fiercely at Saigu.
However, Saigu was not Yae Miko, and ignored her warning gaze, instead teasing: "Lord Ei, how does the dango I made taste? With someone's process added, is it more delicious?"
She was implying something, her lines almost clearly pointing out that she had eaten someone's saliva.
"..."
Raiden Ei stared at her, bit down hard on the second dango, and cold light flashed in her eyes: "Is Saigu provoking me?"
"How could I dare? Neither I nor Makoto have any status now, so I wouldn't dare to defy the Raiden Shogun."
Her words were weak and bullyable, but Saigu's smiling expression explained everything.
Although what she said was the truth.
As the saying goes, new emperor, new ministers.
When Raiden Makoto was in power, she led the Grand Narukami Shrine and managed the Hakushin Kitsune clan.
Now that Raiden Ei is in power, the manager of the Grand Narukami Shrine has been changed to Yae Miko.
Of course, if Saigu wanted it, Miko would be happy to return the power to the Mistress.
God knows how tiring this position is; she, who was once tricked into taking the position by a piece of fried tofu, was truly too stupid.
Taking this opportunity, Yae Miko interjected: "Mistress, you don't have to be like this; since you have returned, I will naturally return all the power of the Shrine."
"No need, little Yae did a good job while I was away, keep working hard."
Using a praising tone for her junior, Kitsune Saigu leaned half her body on the table, smiling at the depressed Miko.
Raiden Ei wanted to abdicate and return power but was refused, and Miko also suffered a defeat.
The result was clear at a glance; the second generation still couldn't play against the first generation.
Luo Li didn't need to say much now, just interject a sentence or two at critical moments to show his presence.
Slowly integrating into the atmosphere, returning to the previous state, and naturally letting this matter pass completely.
Mikoshi Chiyo expressed her opinion at the right time: "That's right, the transfer of power should naturally be given to the next generation. On the way here, I also saw a junior of the Oni clan, but unfortunately, he is not like Miko, he is simply a disgrace."
Thinking of the clansman named Arataki Itto, Chiyo wished she could beat him to death.
This kind of person is simply smearing the Oni clan.
However, before she could fully voice her exasperation, Raiden Ei narrowed her eyes and stared at her: "Set aside the matter of Luo Li for now; it is time to discuss your own issues."
"Ah? I... what problem do I have?"
Chiyo was a bit guilty and asked back, pretending to be indifferent.
"Heh, ignoring my orders and enjoying yourself alone on Watatsumi Island, I haven't even found trouble with you yet."
Raiden Ei's cold gaze fell on Chiyo; this was the second "sinner."
Knowing that Luo Li was on Watatsumi Island, she enjoyed a world for two alone, and even sent herself away.
Even she hadn't reached that step, this hateful Oni.
Mikoshi Chiyo turned her head slightly, not letting anyone see her guilty expression, and seemed to be muttering something, but didn't dare to speak loudly.
As the other protagonist, Luo Li looked at his nose and heart, not intending to attract fire at all.
Raiden Ei looked back and forth between the two, her chest heaving several times, obviously angered again.
Raiden Makoto spoke at the right time: "Regardless, it is extremely rare that we can gather again after five hundred years. Let's have a lively party tonight."
Her sister's suggestion made Raiden Ei unable to refute, so she defaulted.
Kitsune Saigu applauded: "Makoto is exactly on the same page as me. Is there any good wine left from before?"
At the end, she looked at Luo Li beside her.
As for good wine, Luo Li knew without asking that she was talking about "Celestial Drunkenness."
This thing only had one jar left five hundred years ago, but in the five hundred years in the Abyss, he had drawn some more; not to mention how many, twenty or thirty jars were still there.
Facing the movement of Kitsune Saigu deliberately bumping into him with her shoulder, Luo Li nodded slightly: "As much as you want, I'm just afraid you won't be able to handle it."
The aftereffect of Celestial Drunkenness, even if he drank too much, he couldn't stand it; even Venti, who is a drunkard, could only handle three jars at most.
Mikoshi Chiyo's eyes lit up, and she couldn't care about playing dead, hurriedly shouting: "I want two!"
Among the people present, she was the most interested in wine.
The Oni clan is mostly forthright, so they are naturally sensitive to wine.
No one noticed that Raiden Makoto, who made the suggestion, looked at her sister who was also moved, and then at Luo Li, the corners of her mouth hooking into an interesting smile.
"Then I will arrange it now."
Raiden Ei stood up, intending to arrange for people outside the hall to avoid being discovered that Raiden Makoto was in the main hall.
At the same time, Raiden Makoto finally found free time and whispered to Luo Li.
"How does it feel to be chased and hacked?"
Luo Li said helplessly: "Don't tease me."
He was still speechless; if Raiden Makoto hadn't been picked up in advance, he would have always had the theoretical possibility of a comeback.
Never expected that there were traitors everywhere around him.
He had previously sighed that there were traitors around Ei.
After a long time, the clown turned out to be myself.
"Giggle, I didn't ask this to tease you."
Raiden Makoto's meaningful look made Luo Li pause.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to make up with Ei as quickly as possible?"
"Mm?! You have a way?"
Luo Li immediately got his spirit up.
Raiden Makoto just chuckled, deliberately hanging him without answering.
"What do you think? Forgot what I said before?"
