Chapter 419: A broken Lei Dianying! The first time for Mikoshi Chiyo!

But before that.

Ying wanted to learn more from the two about Hearing Luo Li and her sister Raiden Makoto.

"How long have you known Hearing Luo Li and Makoto?"

Lumine said uncertainly, "About a month, I guess."

Immediately after, she recounted half-truthfully their first meeting in Mondstadt with Hearing Luo Li and Raiden Makoto, and what happened afterward.

Subconsciously equating the month they had known each other with the month since Hearing Luo Li's return, Ying's expression gradually turned cold as Lumine explained.

"Eula, Noelle, Fischl, Mona, Keqing, Yun Jin, Shenhe..."

As she recited the names one by one, the exquisite face of Lei Dianying hidden in the shadows made Lumine swallow hard.

She hadn't felt it while speaking, but now that she was finished, she realized something wasn't quite right.

But Mr. Hearing Luo Li didn't say she couldn't talk about them, so she couldn't be blamed!

Lei Dianying's expression showed no joy or anger, only the frequency of the lightning jumping in her eyes increased.

This guy, while she was worrying and grieving for him, was actually out flirting with other girls.

Simply unforgivable!

Ganyu and Rosalyne were one thing; that was a fate provoked five hundred years ago.

But those names that followed, which she had never heard of, were undoubtedly romantic debts Hearing Luo Li had incurred in this era.

She faintly couldn't control the urge to draw her blade; if Hearing Luo Li were standing in front of her right now, Ying would definitely cut him down.

If only she didn't know his whereabouts.

Taking a deep breath to suppress her heaving chest, Ying had just forcibly stabilized her emotions when the next thing Paimon said broke her defenses.

"By the way, Mr. Hearing Luo Li has a daughter now."

"A daughter?!"

In an instant, Lumine felt as if a booming hum was ringing in her ears.

Accompanied by a crack, the space inside the Tenshukaku appeared to have cracks like a shattered mirror, with shocking spatial ruptures appearing piece by piece.

Thunder roared in the sky, and terrifying bolts of lightning streaked across Inazuma City.

The bolt from the blue startled the people of Inazuma, and almost simultaneously, they looked toward the Tenshukaku.

Needless to say, they knew the General was in a bad mood again.

Such scenes had happened too many times recently, and they were long used to it.

Inside the Tenshukaku!

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Paimon ran behind Lumine to hide almost instantly.

Even Lumine almost assumed a defensive posture, thinking the Raiden Shogun was about to attack them.

Only then did she realize it was just because she was shocked by the news just now.

"You just said, Hearing Luo Li has a daughter?"

Stared at by eyes containing lightning, Paimon trembled all over before replying: "Ye... yes."

Ying squeezed her palms tightly, never expecting that guy to have descendants already; for a moment, a complex mix of bitterness, grievance, loss, and regret surged up together.

If she had been more proactive back then, would the result have been different?

However, this emotion was immediately stifled by her, and at the same time, an even stronger anger emerged.

Could those sweet words he said back then have all been lies to her?

"Whose daughter is it?"

"Ah? There's no mother, I think."

Paimon remembered Hearing Luo Li's explanation; it seemed she was born from a pearl.

"???"

An emotion even more surprised than before churned from the bottom of her heart. Ying frowned slightly: "Does sister know?"

"It seems... she doesn't know."

"..."

Half an hour later.

Confirming that no more useful information could be pried from the two, and that they didn't know too much about Hearing Luo Li's affairs over the past five hundred years, Ying gave up on questioning.

She would ask for the details of these matters when she went to Liyue to ask her sister Raiden Makoto in person.

As for Hearing Luo Li...

A look of love appeared in the eyes of the noble and arrogant Raiden Shogun, but it was immediately overwhelmed by resentment.

That guy, she must vent her dissatisfaction and the trace of grievance he hadn't even noticed himself onto him!

Seeming to foresee the birth of a Shuraba, Lumine felt quite ominous.

Signaling to Paimon with her eyes, their script had perhaps deviated from the intended process.

But it was too late to go back now.

Ying's words came from above.

"I will order the cancellation of the wanted posters for you two. Stay near the Tenshukaku for this period; I will have the people from the Office of the Hot Springs arrange a place for you to stay. If there is a summons, come see me immediately."

"O... okay."

…………

Watatsumi Island!

The morning sun rose above the sea, penetrating through the coral reefs of Sangonomiya into the high-level palace, shining directly onto Hearing Luo Li's face.

Because of the dazzling sunlight, he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that appeared in his field of vision was drawn to the swaying shadow beside him.

It was Mikoshi Chiyo, revealing her rounded fragrant shoulders and white collarbone; the girl was lying on her side, resting her chin on one hand, looking at him with a faint smile.

Under the reflection of the sunlight, her crimson skin emitted a strange halo, as if light were flowing backward.

"Were you woken up by the sun? I was just about to pull the curtain." Chiyo felt a bit apologetic, seemingly blaming herself for waking him up early.

"No, it's fine. I was just startled awake by a sudden palpitation."

Hearing Luo Li reached out to stroke the Oni girl's cheek, signaling it had nothing to do with her. ===== CHAPTER 421 =====
