Chapter 502: Goodbye tool duo! Lumine's guilty conscience!

~6 min read 1,080 words

Staring at Kamisato Ayaka for a long while, Hearing Luo Li pondered for a moment.

Naturally, he wasn't as hungry as the young lady thought; he wouldn't want to take every young lady he saw into his pocket.

Letting the nine-tailed Moon Fox toy with Lumine and Paimon was just a punishment, not to the point of being fatal.

Therefore, he finally said: "Since you are willing to plead for them, I can spare them their crimes ahead of time, but you must be mentally prepared for the price paid for this."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded gently: "His Highness Luo, just give the order; Ayaka will obey without exception."

"Then, stay by my side for the time being and serve as my personal attendant."

Ever since saying goodbye to Noelle in Liyue, Hearing Luo Li hadn't been used to lacking a maid for daily care.

Mainly because Noelle, known as a "useless person incubator," was truly irreplaceable; such a well-behaved, obedient little maid with a gentle and kind personality.

In all of Inazuma, one could hardly find anyone with the same qualities.

The only one who was relatively similar was Kamisato Ayaka, but as a young lady, her status was quite different from Noelle's.

Hearing Luo Li had originally planned to slowly get used to the days without Noelle, or simply find a time to bring her to Inazuma; he didn't expect such an unexpected joy.

Kamisato Ayaka had delivered herself to his door; he naturally couldn't give up this opportunity to train a maid.

"Yes, please let His Highness Luo release them first."

"Good."

The agreement was reached, and Hearing Luo Li looked at the screen again.

At this moment, Lumine and Paimon were being batted back and forth like balls by the nine-tailed Moon Fox, dizzy and almost completely losing the ability to resist.

Lumine rolled her eyes, knowing this was the retaliation Hearing Luo Li had imposed, because since being attacked, she hadn't sensed any danger or killing intent.

She simply sensed the fox's anger and suppressed offensive.

Every time, she was in so much pain that tears were about to flow, but there were no injuries inside or outside her body; she didn't know how the fox managed to do it.

"Waaah! We were wrong! Don't hit us anymore!"

Compared to Lumine's lying flat, Paimon was flying around and screaming.

The little one wanted to hide but couldn't hide at all.

This continued for an unknown amount of time; just as the two felt sore all over, they suddenly noticed that the nine-tailed Moon Fox's attack had stopped.

The two looked up in confusion, only to see the opponent still staring at them coldly, but restraining its actions.

"Having received the Master's decree, you may leave."

Lumine was stunned for a long time before reacting; did this mean Hearing Luo Li was letting them go for now?

Although the fox was eager to attack the two again, since Hearing Luo Li had issued such an instruction, it meant it would no longer attack.

"Lumine, let's get out of here quickly!"

Seeing that the surrounding barrier was lifted, Paimon, who still didn't know why the opponent was willing to let them go, immediately flew upward.

Then, just after flying a bit, she bumped into an invisible wall and cried out in pain.

Didn't it say it would let them go?

Could it be fake?!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the fox continue: "Be quiet, my Master told me to send you over."

Lumine's eyes widened suddenly; wait, send them over?

Before she could speak, she saw the space around the two suddenly distort, and something like a passage appeared.

The two didn't even have a chance to resist and were directly sucked into it.

After a dizzying spin.

Perhaps it was a second, or perhaps half an hour; when the scene appeared before their eyes again, they found that the surrounding environment had changed.

The dark mountain interior from a moment ago had turned into a very spacious hall.

Luxurious wooden pillars emitting a delicate fragrance, and precious Electro Tomoe crests came into view.

"We seem to have been to this place."

Paimon, with her back to the main hall, was a bit confused.

In her impression, she should have been here once.

Lumine, who had a better memory, realized instantly; wasn't this the place where she met the Raiden Shogun a few days ago?

Coupled with what the nine-tailed Moon Fox said just now, she turned around immediately.

The next moment, she met the gazes of two people.

One of them was mixed with surprise and happiness, while the other was playful and scrutinizing.

"Traveler, are you injured anywhere?"

Ignoring Hearing Hearing Luo Li gaze, Kamisato Ayaka immediately got up and came to her two friends, nervously observing them up and down.

Injured?

"No, we're fine, but Ayaka, why are you here?"

Looking around, she found that except for her, only Hearing Luo Li was perched in the position where the Raiden Shogun used to be; Lumine felt slightly relieved and immediately asked her friend.

It was mainly to probe Hearing Hearing Luo Li attitude.

After all, she had also figured out the change in the nine-tailed Moon Fox before and after, and understood that there must be something fishy about it.

"¨.. This is a long story; it's good that you are safe and sound."

Kamisato Ayaka intended to gloss over it; there was no need to talk about the agreement she had reached with His Highness Luo just now and make the traveler worry for nothing.

She was willing to risk meeting the Shogun for the sake of the Kamisato family, so making a little sacrifice herself was only right.

"What safe and sound, my body still hurts now." Paimon pouted and muttered.

The key was that although she could feel the pain, she couldn't find any injuries.

Lumine coughed lightly; she was the same, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Mainly because the person in front was staring at her the whole time.

However, there was no escaping it; after finishing the pleasantries with Kamisato Ayaka, she finally braced herself and came under the hall, looking up at the young man with an inexplicable smile.

"Cough, cough, Mr. Hearing Luo Li, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see."

Hearing Luo Li narrowed his eyes, and the cold light shooting out from them made people tremble with fear.
