Chapter 3

Hearing this, the little thing was stunned for a moment. Realizing that his gaze was directed straight at the lower part of its abdomen, it immediately let out a sharp "ying ying" cry.

The next moment, its golden eyes flashed with human-like shame and anger, and it subconsciously opened its mouth to bite Luo Li's wrist.

Luo Li couldn't help but let go, glanced at the shallow tooth mark on his wrist, and then looked at the little fox that had immediately run back behind Raiden Makoto and bristled after taking the opportunity to escape. His expression was quite surprised.

"To think it could bite me; it seems the day it can transform is not far off."

On the other side, the little fox, hiding behind and baring its teeth while vigilantly examining the young man with the demonic appearance in front of it, probably had psychological trauma from now on.

Clearly possessing the best-looking face it had ever seen in its life, yet doing such things to tease it—it was simply unforgivable!

Raiden Makoto watched helplessly as he teased the little thing, not saying anything.

After hundreds of years of getting along, she knew exactly what Luo Li's personality was like, and even she herself had been subtly influenced by some of his habits without realizing it.

Taking the little fox into her arms, Makoto soothed its frightened emotions and reminded Luo Li.

"Alright, keep bullying it and be careful that Saiguu finds trouble with you."

Luo Li couldn't help but click his tongue: "Tsk, that woman is indeed a bit tricky, but..."

Changing the subject, he wantonly sized up the Electro Archon, whom the people of Inazuma revered, without any respect.

In the eyes of others, she was a high-and-mighty god who ruled a country, whose every word and action was like the incarnation of the Shogun. In his eyes, she only had the attribute of "opposite sex."

"But fortunately, I have gained a lot of experience in dealing with her over the years. Besides, in front of the beloved lord she serves, at least I have to restrain my temper a bit."

Raiden Makoto chuckled softly: "Perhaps."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a third person's voice suddenly came from the pavilion stairs.

"Chatting so happily, why not add me to the mix?"

Luo Li looked up and saw that the visitors were two girls who couldn't be more familiar.

Kitsune Saiguu, Raiden Ei.

The leader had white hair and golden eyes, dressed in an impeccable shrine maiden's ritual robe, and her eye-catching fox ears stood tall, occasionally moving.

She walked over with a teasing smile on her face, her peach-blossom eyes, which were moist with water, slightly upturned, naturally carrying a sense of charm.

However, the solemn and heavy ritual robe added a bit of sacred seriousness. The two completely different temperaments blended together, not only without causing conflict but instead highlighting the charm of the Hakushin immortal fox even more.

Luo Li sat up to meet the two women's gazes and said: "You came just in time; I was just talking about you with Makoto."

"Oh, talking bad about me behind my back again?"

"Where did this prejudice come from?"

Facing Kitsune Saiguu's questioning, Luo Li immediately denied it.

Seeing that the two had a tendency to have a long discussion, Raiden Makoto interrupted and looked at her sister Raiden Ei, who was standing quietly to the side.

Luo Li had no choice but to give up and asked: "Ei, how does it feel to preside over the divine festival for the first time?"

Hearing this, the future second Electro Archon showed a look of distress and hesitated: "Next time, please don't let me preside over the festival again; I'm really not good at it."

Several people laughed immediately.

Since the establishment of the Shogunate, the two sisters had been divided into civil and military roles, with clear division of labor, managing Inazuma in an orderly manner.

As a result, it was only natural for her to feel sudden and unaccustomed to being forced to show her face in front of people.

Facing her sister's complaints, Makoto covered her mouth and giggled, as if her prank had succeeded.

Clearly the elder, yet she was keen on teasing her sister.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work in presiding; keep up the effort next time!" Makoto took the initiative to stand up and pull Ei to her side to sit down, soothing her sister in a coaxing tone.

What? There's a next time?

Ei wanted to refuse, but the words were held back when they reached her lips.

"It's decided, as a reward for this work, I'll take you to the Hot Spring Commission later to relax and soothe your fatigue."

"Hot Spring Commission?"

Makoto pointed to the classical mansion opposite the Tenryou Commission below Tenshukaku and explained: "Some time ago, someone from the Kanjou Commission requested to establish a special bathing method introduced from another country. It was just completed the day before yesterday, so they submitted a report asking me to experience it personally."

"This..." Ei was a little hesitant.

During the conversation, Luo Li sized up the two sisters who looked similar and were whispering together. It had to be said that the sisters were truly top-tier.

Although he had seen them countless times, the charm of the twin sisters would not decrease with the passage of time.

Unlike Raiden Makoto, who wore a wide-sleeved kimono, Ei's kimono was slightly tight.

Her slender neck wore a black choker, with a red bow tied in the front. Unlike the traditional kimono, the top of the front lapel was open, revealing an exquisite collarbone covered by black shoulder pads.

Because the lapels were separated, one could see the abyss-like cleavage, and her graceful waist was wrapped in a cherry blossom belt tied with gold and purple tassels.

The hem of the clothes also stopped abruptly at the thighs. Unlike her sister with bare legs, the purple-black long stockings decorated with light purple patterns squeezed Ei's plump thighs into shallow flesh marks, making it impossible for people to look away.

In addition, the golden arm armor symbolizing her identity as a shadow warrior hung with Electro patterns, adding a few more heroic spirits.

However, the most amazing thing was the tear mole at the corner of Ei's eye, which mixed a bit of charm amidst her heroism.

"Oh, that kid from the Kanjou Commission has actually supervised the completion?"

Luo Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately blurted out: "Perfect, let's go and experience the bathing method of a foreign country together."

"I have no problem with it, but I don't know about the Almighty Shogun and Ei?"

Hearing Luo Li's obviously malicious proposal, the cunning fox woman actually didn't object, but instead kicked the ball to others.

With her bad personality of always loving to watch the fun and come up with bad ideas, it was normal to have this reaction.

The habits of Yae Miko in the future might be inherited from her.

Raiden Ei just wanted to refuse: "I won't..."

Luo Li interrupted her, implying: "Tired all day, and life is usually monotonous and boring. It's better to come into contact with fresh things, otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with the times in the future."

Ei, who was serving at his side, glanced at him and remained silent.

Still remembering hundreds of years ago, this person suddenly appeared on the land of Inazuma, and later slowly entered the Shogunate, becoming a pivotal figure in the Shogunate from a stranger.

Even her sister relied on him heavily, regarding him as an indispensable advisor.

After all, he not only had strength comparable to an Archon but was also very good at governing the country.

Inazuma could become prosperous in such a short time, and this man had made great contributions.

At first, Ei had very little communication with him, but later, after the contact time became longer and the understanding deepened, she developed a good impression of him, and would even take the initiative to find him to spar in martial arts.

In all of Inazuma, the only one who could make Ei, who was proud of her unparalleled martial arts, unable to win was Luo Li.

"Sure enough, only you can persuade Ei. Since no one objects, let's go!"

Kitsune Saiguu clapped her hands, fully displaying her mature big sister temperament.

Indulging in the memories of the past was suddenly interrupted. Ei turned sideways and saw Makoto, who had made the decision, pick up the parasol placed on the side, so she followed and stood up silently. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
