Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Chapter 217: Past Events (In order to fulfill the wishes of the palace officials, I am willing to se

"Tsk tsk tsk... You really treat Inazuma as your own home? You have planned it so well." Kitsusaigong teased with a playful look on his face.

Chen Yue responded seriously, "Of course, since I am a member of Inazuma, I should think carefully about the future development of Inazuma."

"Okay, okay, I know you're amazing." Hu Zhaigong waved his hand, seeming a little helpless about Chen Yue's seriousness, "According to the previous agreement, it's time for me to hand over the bet to you."

Hu Zhaigong gently stretched out her hand and carefully plucked a few soft hairs from her ears. She used her slender fingers to slowly smooth out the hairs, then pricked her fingertips with them and squeezed out a drop of crystal clear fox blood.

"This is the hair and blood I gave you as promised. From now on, they belong to you. You must cherish them!" Hu Zhaigong smiled and flicked the blood and hair in his hand to Chen Yue, and playfully reminded him, "Catch it firmly. If it falls to the ground, I will not be responsible!"

Before he finished his words, the drop of blood and a few strands of hair rushed towards Chen Yue like a meteor.

Chen Yue saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he quickly adjusted his posture and prepared to receive the objects. His palms were slightly open, as if he had already predicted where these objects would fall.

Sure enough, the drop of blood and hair suddenly changed its trajectory as it approached him and fell steadily into his palm.

Feeling the subtle touch in his palm, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

"Thank you. This will be the most correct decision you have ever made in your life." He smelled the hair pulled out from his head. Was there still the residual scent of cherry blossoms, wine, and cigarettes on it?

Chen Yue gently put Hu Zhaigong's hair and blood into a small bag he carried with him. This bag was specially made to keep the items pure and active.

"Since you value this bet so much, I will look forward to your future performance." Hu Zhaigong looked at Chen Yue with anticipation in his eyes.

"We'll talk about the future in the future. First, explain to me why your hair has the smell of 'Ozang Mountain'?"

Chen Yue raised his head with a dark face, his tone full of displeasure.

"I clearly hid that box of cigarettes well, intending to save it for the New Year to enjoy slowly. After all, the quantity I brought was limited, but you actually let me smoke them?" Chen Yue widened his eyes and looked at Hu Zhaigong in disbelief.

After hearing this, the corners of Husaigong's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile: "Oh, I'm so sorry. I have a little habit, that is, whenever I am in a good mood, I always like to take a puff."

"I accidentally found the cigarettes you hid that day, and I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I couldn't help but taste them. Who knew the taste was so special and so addictive that I smoked several packs without realizing it. Hehe, I'm so sorry, I couldn't control myself, I couldn't help it." As she spoke, she deliberately blinked at Chen Yue, pretending to be innocent and harmless.

Chen Yue was so angry that he almost vomited blood after hearing this. He glared at Hu Zhaigong, his voice trembling a little.

"You've actually finished smoking all your cigarettes, so what else can I smoke? Are you going to let me breathe air? And you actually have the nerve to say that you accidentally smoked several cigarettes? It's so easy for you to say that! You obviously have a pipe yourself, why did you touch my cigarettes?"

The more Chen Yue thought about it, the more he felt wronged and angry. The anger in his heart continued to rise. He had gone through so much trouble to get these cigarettes from Mount Ozang, and there were only so many in the entire Teyvat continent. Once they were all smoked, there would be no more.

Now that they are in this strange foreign land, it has become extremely difficult to return easily, let alone get these precious cigarettes from Inazuma.

"Are you trying to kill me, friend?"

"Hehe, how can you blame me for this? You didn't explain it clearly! And if there is really no other way, you might as well just stop smoking. This will just help you quit smoking. You should be grateful to me!"

"Ah, I really hate you. If I don't pluck all your hair out today, I won't be named Chen!"

"Hey, maybe you will really change your last name. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Don't you think so, Lei Dian Yixuan?"

Morning Appointment: "Beautiful Liyue, Mondstadt, and Inazuma's Talk"

Seeing that Chen Yue was really angry, Hu Zhaigong stopped teasing him, quickly put away his smile, and put on a sincere look: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. How about this, as compensation, I can help you get some more cigarettes from Aozang Mountain, how about that?"

“That’s more like it.” Chen Yue nodded with satisfaction, but just two seconds later, he realized something was wrong: “You? Going to Ao Zang Mountain? You must be kidding me, that’s Liyue!”

Chen Yue was well aware of the dangers and long distance of Ao Zang Mountain. The time required for the round trip alone was already astonishingly long.

"Not to mention how dangerous it is, the time it takes to go back and forth is already long enough," Chen Yue continued.

However, Hu Zhaigong asked back: "Is there any problem? I remember that your Liyue Lantern Festival is not long away. When you return to Liyue, I can go with you."

Then, she smiled and said, "I'd like to take this opportunity to visit your home. As your good friend, you won't refuse, right?"

Chen Yue fell silent. Yes, he did have the habit of returning to Liyue for festivals, but he never thought of bringing anyone home.

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate... I think you know the reason. Sometimes, I think it would be better for us to keep a certain distance." Chen Yue's tone sounded a little helpless.

"Don't give me that. Don't I know what kind of person you are? Don't worry, I will call Zhen over with me."

After saying that, Hu Zhaigong winked at Chen Yue. "Although gods cannot leave their country at will, a few months is no problem."

"Is this true?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Chen Yue's eyes, but then he became a little hesitant.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Hu Zhaigong raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smug smile.

"Since she is free now, why not ask her to go to Liyue? There is nothing wrong with her going there, and it can also help promote the relationship between the two of you!"

Chen Yue took a deep breath. He knew that although Hu Zhaigong liked to joke around, he would never go back on his word at critical moments.

Falling to his knees with a thud, Chen Yue said with a sincere expression and eyes.

"In order to fulfill the wishes of the palace officials, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."
