Although everyone was confused inside, they dared not ask. After all, she was the Electro Archon. She had her own reasons for doing things.
Around nine in the evening, the banquet ended.
Beidou, Kaeya, and the others left one after another. Only Su Han, the Raiden Shogun, and Shenhe remained on the scene.
An awkward situation arose.
Su Han was wondering whether to take Shenhe away and return to the Grand Narukami Shrine, or... stay in Tenshukaku.
The former was his wife, whose heart was tied to him, unswervingly. The latter was a high-status Archon. If Ei wasn't a shut-in, the Raiden Shogun wouldn't have come to him so easily.
Besides, the two of them had just been together yesterday. Abandoning her today... who knew if the Raiden Shogun would go dark again? After all, influenced by Raiden Ei, she was very afraid of him leaving.
But unexpectedly, Shenhe asked the Raiden Shogun, "Are there spare rooms here? I want to rest..."
"There are many rooms in Tenshukaku. Usually, only I live here... you can pick any room you like and stay as long as you want!"
"That's good..."
Shenhe smiled slightly and turned to leave.
About half an hour later, Su Han came to her and gently held Shenhe in his arms.
"You don't blame me, do you..."
Faced with his apology, Shenhe sighed softly. "If it were someone else, maybe I would mind... but she is the Electro Archon, an existence comparable to Rex Lapis. For her to commit herself to you, what can I say... And, I can tell... she has no hostility towards me!"
If it were anyone else, Shenhe might be jealous. But... only the Raiden Shogun was an exception. Because her status was noble. She was the God of Inazuma.
For such a noble existence to be willing to commit herself to Su Han, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Shenhe's mood was stable, Su Han was relieved.
The two hugged quietly for a long time before separating.
When Su Han returned to the master bedroom of Tenshukaku, the Raiden Shogun had already taken off her clothes and was lying under the silk quilt. She looked quietly at the ceiling, seemingly thinking about something.
It wasn't until she heard Su Han's footsteps that the Raiden Shogun came back to her senses.
"Settled?"
"Mm."
"Then let's sleep... you have to work hard tomorrow!"
"Okay."
The conversation between the two was very brief.
However, after Su Han got under the covers, the Raiden Shogun's warm, jade-like body leaned directly over.
Didn't we agree to sleep? Why did you change your mind again?
Ten minutes later.
Ear-piercing thunder resounded through the sky of Inazuma City.
For the citizens in the city, they were long used to the thunder in the sky. Instead, it scared those foreign merchants.
After asking around, they realized that Inazuma often had thunder. This was the majesty of the Electro Archon, and also a display of her divine power.
It was just that this thunder was sometimes intense and sometimes gentle, leaving those merchants confused.
...
Inside Tenshukaku.
Su Han asked, sweating profusely, "Can't you control the thunder outside?"
"Thunder is the might of this body. If it were normal, I could control it, but now... the body won't listen... this body has no way either!" The Raiden Shogun's gaze was like water, answering the question honestly.
Most of the thunder was formed by her thoughts. But now her thoughts couldn't focus, so naturally, there was no way to control the thunder.
Looking at the lightning flashing outside, Su Han could only choose to ignore it.
It wasn't until midnight that the thunder in Inazuma City finally calmed down.
...
The next morning.
Kamisato Ayaka arrived at Tenshukaku early.
Looking at Su Han rubbing his waist, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you get injured in Tatarasuna before? I have good medicine here..."
"Cough... it's nothing, just some old problems! Let's continue with today's business, it happens to be about Tatarasuna..."
Su Han muddled through with a few words.
He couldn't help it. He couldn't tell this girl Ayaka that his waist strength wasn't enough, could he?
Sigh, it was also because this Electro Archon's stamina was too good. He really couldn't do anything about it.
Under their discussion, Tatarasuna had to be closed, and even the residents on Yashiori Island had to be relocated.
Because there was resentment left after Orobashi's death. If the Tatarigami aura couldn't be cleared, countless tragedies would occur. Although weapons were important, they were far less important than lives! The mineral veins there would also be sealed.
At this time, Shenhe, sitting aside, asked in a low voice, "I heard that the thunderstorms on Yashiori Island are caused by the remnant thoughts of the Archon, right?"
"Mm, that's why people can't continue mining. If the Tatarigami aura can be suppressed or sealed, Yashiori Island will naturally clear up. But don't rush... we'll talk about it later."
In the game of his previous life, Orobashi's resentment was sealed through wards. But Su Han felt that method treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
If the wards were destroyed or moved, then the sealed Tatarigami aura would appear again. So, Su Han preferred to completely resolve Orobashi's resentment.
Meanwhile, on the calm sea.
A ship slowly approached.
Before long, the large ship docked. Ningguang and the others finally arrived in Inazuma.
Looking at the scenery of Ritou, Ganyu couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful... it's clearly summer, but there are fiery red maple leaves here... as expected of the country Su Han called a vacation resort."
"Mm, let's go... Although the Electro Archon authorized Su Han to negotiate, we can't get carried away!"
Trust was trust. But she upheld the principles of a merchant. Mora could be earned, but not against one's conscience. It was precisely because of this that Ningguang was appointed as one of the Liyue Qixing. Relying on this consistent character.
Sure enough, arriving at Tenshukaku, only Su Han and Kamisato Ayaka greeted them.
"Regarding the development of Inazuma, we don't need to discuss it. We've talked enough in the group. What do you think about the distribution of benefits?"
"I think it's about the same as Falcon City, but... Inazuma is too poor right now, so lower it by ten percent. Forty percent of the profits within a hundred years go to Liyue. What do you think?"
Spending manpower and material resources to help Inazuma build. Forty percent of the profits from Watatsumi Island and Ritou within a hundred years going to Liyue. This deal was already very profitable.
Ningguang said with satisfaction, "Alright, then let's do this... sign a Geo Contract! That Electro Archon shouldn't refuse..."
If she couldn't sign a divine contract, she wouldn't dare to support Inazuma so generously. If she got bitten back one day, she would have nowhere to cry. Even if the person negotiating now was Su Han.
"She won't refuse, don't worry..."
With his statement, Ningguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she took out the golden contract. Her handprint was already on it. Obviously, this kind of thing had been prepared long ago.
Su Han gave it to Kamisato Ayaka.
The latter took it and walked towards the depths of the room. About five minutes later, the girl returned. The contract in her hand already bore the name of the Raiden Shogun.
Seeing the contract established, Ningguang couldn't help but smile. "Alright then, I'll let the soldiers start acting..."
She took out a Transponder Snail and gave instructions into it.
At this moment, on the artificial island not far from Watatsumi Island.
Receiving the order, the foreman quickly shouted, "Start work, start work... brothers, we have a job! Target: Watatsumi Island... build the sea train with full force!"
"Oh..."
In an instant, dozens of ships moved one after another. Installing tracks. Responsible for fixing. Everyone had their own job.
They had built the sea train from Liyue to Mondstadt long ago. Doing it again was simply too easy.
In less than a few hours, the tracks had been erected on the outer rock wall of Watatsumi Island.
Soldiers patrolling nearby saw this scene and quickly reported the news to Sangonomiya Kokomi.
"My lady, the tracks of the sea train have reached the periphery of our island!"
"Really? So fast! Go... let's go and see..."
Everyone followed her footsteps and arrived on the rock wall.
At this time, workers were building a station. This would be a stop in the future.
Sangonomiya Kokomi looked at the busy people, stepped forward, and asked, "Hello, may I ask what you are doing?"
"Oh... you are Inazumans, right? We are construction personnel from Liyue. According to the news conveyed by Lady Ningguang, we are going to build a large station here. In the future, trains can stop here. However, considering geographical reasons, we can only build a suspended station..."
Although she didn't understand the terms in the foreman's mouth, Sangonomiya Kokomi was very happy. Because a station meant a stop. She had seen the explanation in the newspaper.
"Then... may I ask when the train will be open?"
"Hmm... probably tomorrow. After all, we still have to do a test run..."
The tracks and station were built very quickly. But a test run was necessary. Because the tracks had just been built and calibration had not been completed. This all took time. Being able to depart tomorrow was already the fastest speed.
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled upon hearing this. "That's really hard work for you... if there is any need, we can help..."
"No... no need. We are all professionals and can handle mission problems. If there is nothing else, I will go back to work... there are still many things to do today."
"Please..."
The foreman returned to the team and began to instruct his people to speed up construction.
And Sangonomiya Kokomi rolled her eyes and said to the soldiers, "Go and gather the people. Let them see the sea train..."
"Yes, my lady..."
Although Watatsumi Island had submitted, there were still some people who maintained the stubborn old ideas. Opening and closing their mouths with revenge. It almost made her explode with anger.
Don't look at how tough those people's mouths were. In fact, their families were so poor they couldn't even open the pot.
And now, Sangonomiya Kokomi wanted to use the arrival of the sea train to open the eyes of those stubborn old people. Let them understand what the future of Watatsumi Island was.
Just shouting slogans of revenge. Could that fill their stomachs?
