Chapter 79: The Resentful Jiang Yan (Please subscribe!!)

~6 min read 1,126 words

“I can, as long as Your Excellency Tianquan doesn’t mind.”

Kitsune Saiguu smiled slightly and said.

“Just call me Jiang Yan; this isn’t an official occasion, no need to call me Tianquan.”

Jiang Yan patted Xiaobai, who was continuing to play dead after absorbing the treasure energy from the treasure chest.

“Get up and work.”

“Four o’clock direction.”

Xiaobai didn’t even lift its head, looking lazy.

“What a lazy thing.”

Jiang Yan scolded with a smile, then immediately said to Kitsune Saiguu:

“Then shall we go?”

Kitsune Saiguu nodded; she looked curiously at Xiaobai lying on Jiang Yan’s neck.

“Is this... also a yokai?”

“What yokai! Your Lord Diao is a Treasure-Eating Mink! A divine beast!”

Xiaobai on his neck, hearing Kitsune Saiguu say that about it, instantly exploded!

“220” Jiang Yan patted Xiaobai’s head lightly, signaling it to be quiet, and said to Kitsune Saiguu with a smile:

“Ah, like you, it is my familiar.”

Xiaobai was Jiang Yan’s pet; calling it a familiar was acceptable, after all, there was a master-servant contract.

“I see...”

Kitsune Saiguu covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

This snow-white little mink was quite good-looking.

“Alright, no time to lose, let’s go!”

Jiang Yan patted Kitsune Saiguu’s shoulder, soared into the air, and flew in the four o’clock direction Xiaobai had mentioned.

And Kitsune Saiguu, after placing Ioroi in a safe place, also followed closely behind.

Jiang Yan and Kitsune Saiguu, just like that, strolled around Narukami Island for a day.

After a day of getting along, Kitsune Saiguu suddenly felt that this Liyue Tianquan didn’t seem as hateful as she had imagined.

One must know that since Jiang Yan arrived in Inazuma, his actions had been like a demon.

Not only did he beat Inazuma’s strongest Raiden Ei into autism, but he also tried to control Inazuma’s economic lifeline through Mora.

This also made Kitsune Saiguu, Torachiyo, and the others have a rather poor impression of Jiang Yan.

It couldn’t be said to be poor, either.

It could only be said to be a natural fear of the strong by the weak.

But now looking at it, Jiang Yan in his normal state had a kind of... hmm...

Dorky aura?

Especially when he finished clearing out the monsters and dug up a treasure chest buried in the ground, only to find it was just an exquisite treasure chest.

That expression, like an old man on the subway looking at his phone, made Kitsune Saiguu laugh frequently.

After a day, Kitsune Saiguu had seen a different Jiang Yan, and the two had officially become familiar with each other.

Their conversation also became much more casual.

Time came to the evening; after Jiang Yan opened an exquisite treasure chest with a bland expression, he stretched.

“Hmm~ let’s stop opening them here for today.”

“Opening more would be impolite!”

Jiang Yan’s tone was full of resentment.

A whole day had passed.

Except for the precious treasure chest in the morning, everything else was exquisite and ordinary!

It was outrageous!

Outrageous to the extreme!!

After calculating it, Jiang Yan was almost so angry he turned red on the spot.

Damn it, at least give me two precious ones!

Master Jiang, who had been busy all day, finally ended the day with the harvest of one precious treasure chest.

Kitsune Saiguu behind him looked at Jiang Yan’s expression, which was full of wanting to complain, and said with a light laugh:

“Not opening anymore?”

Jiang Yan nodded; after all, having opened them for a day, he still needed to rest well at night.

People, after all, couldn’t be busy all the time.

“Let’s go, back to Inazuma City.”

Jiang Yan looked at Kitsune Saiguu and revealed a bitter smile.

Kitsune Saiguu nodded with a smile; she didn’t know why, but this look of Jiang Yan made her want to laugh inexplicably.

Returning to Inazuma City with Kitsune Saiguu, chatting and laughing all the way.

Before parting, Jiang Yan asked Kitsune Saiguu:

“Kitsune Saiguu, will you open treasure chests with me tomorrow?”

Kitsune Saiguu thought for a moment, just about to nod, but as if suddenly remembering something, she looked at Jiang Yan with an apologetic look in her eyes.

“I’m very sorry, I have some things to do tomorrow, I’m afraid I can’t.”

“That’s fine then.”

Jiang Yan shrugged; since she had things to do, he naturally couldn’t force her.

“Mm, sorry, I had a very happy time with you today.”

“They all say Liyue’s Tianquan is cold and heartless; looking at it today, the rumors are incorrect.”

Kitsune Saiguu remembered Jiang Yan’s expression when he opened an exquisite treasure chest earlier and suddenly laughed lightly.

“Who spread such news! I must sue him for defamation!”

Jiang Yan laughed and waved his hand at Kitsune Saiguu.

“Then, see you later?”

“Mm, see you later.”

Kitsune Saiguu waved at Jiang Yan and left.

Jiang Yan looked at Kitsune Saiguu’s departing figure and rubbed his chin.

“Then tonight... where should I go to eat?”

Tenshukaku.

Kitsune Saiguu walked in, holding Yae Miko.

Inside the room, Raiden Ei and Raiden Ei sat together.

Raiden Ei was reading a book, while Raiden Ei was wiping her naginata.

“Back?”

Raiden Ei put down her book and looked at Kitsune Saiguu who had walked in.

“How was it today? Did that Tianquan from Liyue discover you were following him?”

Kitsune Saiguu nodded.

“His perception is very strong; I reckon he knew I was following him from the start.”

Raiden Ei sighed; she knew it.

“Then he didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

Raiden Ei looked at Kitsune Saiguu and found that Kitsune Saiguu was actually somewhat... happy?

“Mm, after I appeared, he invited me to be his guide.”

“How should I put it, my impression of him has changed quite a bit; I had a very pleasant time with him.”

Kitsune Saiguu sat down with a light laugh, and Raiden Ei’s action of pouring tea paused.

Even Raiden Ei stopped wiping her blade and looked at Kitsune Saiguu.

“Oh? Impression changed quite a bit?”

Raiden Ei recalled Jiang Yan’s overbearing appearance.

“Mm, how should I put it... he’s quite dorky.”

Perhaps remembering Jiang Yan’s deflated look when opening treasure chests again, the corners of Kitsune Saiguu’s mouth rose involuntarily.

Quite dorky?

Big question marks appeared on the heads of Raiden Ei and Raiden Ei simultaneously.

They truly couldn’t combine these three words with that overbearing figure.

This also aroused Raiden Ei’s curiosity, and she asked Kitsune Saiguu:

“What did you do today?”

Even Raiden Ei leaned over silently, pricking up her ears to listen.

Kitsune Saiguu looked at the sisters, both of whom were curious, and frowned slightly.

Why does it feel... like something is not quite right?
