Alice was stunned. The Yae girl who had ridiculed her the last time they drank and made her lose face was now so charming, which shocked her established impression.
After coming back to her senses, she quickly covered her daughter Klee's eyes. "Klee, you can't look at this~ Mommy will take you to fry fish."
Klee's voice was full of curiosity. "Why can't Klee watch? Doesn't Mom kiss like Dad?"
Alice said sincerely, "Klee will understand when she grows up. Right now, you're still young, and Mommy has a newly made bomb that's more interesting than an elemental nuclear bomb."
"Let me tell you, Klee, the most interesting thing is to play with bombs in Wusangren Gorge on Yashiori Island. They cause all sorts of elemental reactions. I heard it was a canyon carved by the god of Inazuma."
Klee was instantly intrigued. "Really? Klee wants to play."
Alice picked up Klee and immediately flew down the mountain towards Yashiori Island. Although she wasn't always the most responsible mother, she couldn't let Klee be raised crookedly so early. Still, she thought to herself, this child is indeed my own—just like me.
In Narukami Taisha Shrine, Yae Miko certainly knew that the 'bad woman' Alice was coming.
Now she wasn't afraid of Alice. She herself was now a god, and though Alice was strong—possibly at the level of a god—she wasn't as strong as Yae Miko.
Yae Miko had no interest in dealing with Alice at the moment. She only wanted to enjoy the affection from Lord Tianli in this universe.
Tenri-sama's feelings were similar to those of humans, and only a coquettish woman could capture his attention. As a fox spirit, she knew how to act coquettishly like no human could.
Rubbing her head against Takumi's chest, breathing in his 'supreme' aura, she could feel even the quality of her own divine power slowly improving.
"Master Tenri is so evil. He keeps pretending to be an ordinary god to tease me, the little fox," Yae Miko murmured.
Her entire body exuded the unique fragrance of a fox spirit during courtship.
Takumi looked at Yae Miko, who was acting like she was intoxicated, and said playfully, "With such a fragrant scent, are you inviting me to devour you?"
He lifted her chin with his fingers, and Yae Miko's purple eyes were filled with little hearts.
Becoming a god didn't mean changing species, but rather mastering 'truth,' 'rules,' and 'concepts,' and using those to enhance one's life form.
For example, Venti was a wind spirit, Furina a pure water spirit, and Maricata a fairy.
Gods were not a race, but a higher form of life, possessing significant control over the world.
Yae Miko held Takumi's hands with both of hers, gently biting his fingers, her cheeks flushed shyly. "You have to let me say it..."
Takumi played with Yae Miko's pink tail with his other hand and said with a smile, "It's not that I won't take what's offered to me, but now isn't the right time. Ei and the others are back with the new gods. Wait a while, and when we reach Sky Island, I'll devour you whole."
Yae Miko's hot cheek rubbed against Takumi's hand, her purple eyes nearly overflowing with desire. "You can devour me tomorrow morning when I'm in Sumeru, but when you tell me to go back by myself, I feel like you don't like me anymore."
The time she followed him from Liyue to Mondstadt had allowed her to see and experience so much.
Moreover, he had resurrected so many demon gods, so she had guessed his identity at that point.
But she had dared not think too deeply about who he really was—until she discovered the truth.
Takumi's hand moved along Yae Miko's tail to its base, making her entire body tremble. This reaction was so interesting. This was the difference between non-human girls and humans.
"If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have given you the position of Fox Immortal God."
Having said this, he patted her on the buttocks and said, "Okay, fix your appearance. You don't want to leave such a seductive first impression on the new gods."
There was a hint of resentment in Yae Miko's eyes, but she quickly moved out of Takumi's embrace. How could she calm down so quickly after being brought to such a point?
Divine power shimmered across her body, and her disheveled clothing instantly returned to order. Aside from the lingering look of desire in her eyes, all that remained was the fragrance in the air.
When she was just a servant of the gods, her body fragrance could intoxicate ordinary people for days. Now that she was a god, even other gods at her level would be drawn in by the scent.
After adjusting herself, Yae Miko quickly served tea to Takumi.
Inazuma was now a peaceful land. Every person in Inazuma no longer had to worry about survival. They could support the entire region just by relying on Narukami Island and the Thousand Islands.
What's more, there were several other large islands, and Inazuma, as an island nation, now traded frequently with the other six nations.
Thanks to this real management, even though Inazuma had no unique skills, the plants and minerals found there were rare commodities in the other nations.
With the booming trade, Narukami Taisha Shrine was mostly idle. Any remaining tasks were handled by the Fox Envoy Palace. They couldn't possibly expect her, the third god of Inazuma, to manage every little thing, right?
Everyone already knew that she had become a god.
Although the people of Narukami Island still treated her mostly the same as before, they carried more respect for her now.
She wasn't at the same level as Ei or Makoto, but she was also less interested in mundane affairs. In addition, she neither liked nor disliked humans.
So she spent her days in Narukami Grand Shrine, reading novels, sipping Liyue's tea, drinking Sumeru's juice, and eating Fontaine's snacks.
Takumi took the tea Yae Miko had poured and remarked, "The world has grown stronger. Even the aroma of ordinary tea now almost rivals that of celestial tea."
Buzz buzz...
The 'torii' under the sacred sakura glowed brightly.
This 'World Gate,' which had once connected to other worlds, could now only connect to the 'Divine Realm.'
Yae Miko looked over, slowly tucking her pink fox tail back into her clothes, and knelt down quietly next to Takumi.
"To be honest, I never thought those two sisters would be the first batch of gods in Inazuma's Divine Domain."
Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei emerged from the 'Gate.'
The Butterfly sisters followed closely behind, their eyes filled with excitement, curiosity, and awe. Behind them, Kanao poked her head out.
Raiden Shogun and Raiden Ei were both surprised to see Takumi calmly sipping tea in Narukami Grand Shrine.
Raiden Shogun smiled widely. "Lord Tenri! I didn't expect you to come to Inazuma. I apologize for not being here to welcome you in time."
Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho were ecstatic, staring in awe at the majestic yet gentle Lord. The name they had just heard made their jaws drop.
Lord Tenri? Wasn't this the 'Lord God of Heaven,' the Creator?
