Chapter 207 Past Events (Bet)
Chen Yue's words were earth-shattering. If anyone else had heard such news, they would have probably been so nervous that they would have been at a loss, right?
However, the person standing before him was no ordinary person, but the chief priest of the Narukami Grand Shrine.
"Oh? From what you said, it seems that you are confident about solving these problems!" The corners of Huzhaigong's mouth slightly raised, revealing an interested smile, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
After all, since Chen Yue dared to say so, he must have already had a good plan to solve the problem in his mind.
"Hehe, I've only been here for a few days, and I've already noticed the existence of this problem. Do you think I have no way to deal with it?" Chen Yue asked back confidently, his eyes flashing with determination and confidence.
"This is a small matter that only requires a word from me. How about we make a bet? Let's bet on whether I can stabilize the Third Lord." Chen Yue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he was full of confidence in himself.
Hu Zhaigong couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard this. Although Chen Yue's analysis was indeed reasonable, it was not enough to just talk to truly stabilize the Three Privy Councils. It required practical actions and solving various complex problems.
However, seeing Chen Yue so confident, Hu Zhai Gong couldn't help but be infected by his aura. She nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since you are so confident, let's make a bet."
"If you can't do it, you have to stay in the Naruto-taisha Shrine and serve me for ten years. This will be a good opportunity for me to study your special abilities." Kitsunesai continued, with a cunning light in his eyes.
As soon as Hu Zhaigong finished speaking, Chen Yue agreed without hesitation. His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he was showing Hu Zhaigong his determination.
"No problem, it's a deal!" Chen Yue said with a smile. He already had a rough plan in his mind.
Isn’t it just checks and balances? We have done a lot of it in Liyue before.
"But if I did, what would your leverage be?"
Chen Yue added another sentence, as if to remind Hu Zhaigong that this gamble was not one-sided.
Hu Zhaigong was slightly stunned, and then chuckled. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, like a bell swaying in the wind in spring. She shook the pipe in her hand, as if she was thinking about what kind of chips she should take out.
"What do you want? Let me make it clear that a fox's ears and tail are very sensitive. You can't touch their ears and tails."
There was a hint of teasing in Hu Zhaigong's words, as if he was teasing Chen Yue. However, Chen Yue did not feel embarrassed, but smiled and shook his head.
"I'm not a frivolous person, so I won't make such an impolite request." Chen Yue said calmly, "If I win, I want a drop of your blood and a curl of your hair. How about that?"
When Hu Zhaigong heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. Obviously, she had not expected Chen Yue to make such a special request. However, in an instant, she regained her calm demeanor, and the corners of her pretty mouth slightly raised, outlining a smile of interest.
"Oh? I didn't expect you would be interested in the blood and hair of an old fox like me? This really surprises me a little." Kitsai Palace said softly, gently shaking his furry tail, as if he was thinking about the deeper meaning behind this strange request.
Chen Yue quickly explained, "You misunderstood. I am not interested in you. It's just that as you said, you are curious about me, and so am I. Therefore, I hope to study your blood and hair to explore the mysteries contained therein and see if it can bring me some inspiration and help."
Hu Zhaigong looked at Chen Yue, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She smiled softly and said, "Okay, I agree to your request."
However, immediately afterwards, Kitsaigong changed the subject and teased, "But you have to be careful, because you might find in the end that the gain does not outweigh the loss. If you fail to achieve your goal in the end, you might be forced to come work for me! When that happens, don't get so angry that you break down, crying and making a fuss, woooo, woooo, it's so pitiful!" After saying that, she let out a laugh like a silver bell.
"Enough, you fun-loving person, come with me to the city for the next few months and don't forget what you should do before the bet." Chen Yue glared at Hu Zaigong unhappily, and then disappeared from the spot in an instant, as if he had never appeared.
"Tsk, this is so boring." Kitsaigong curled his lips in boredom.
......
The sky over Inazuma was now covered by dark clouds, with flashes of lightning flashing from time to time in the dense clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending storm. Under this dark sky, Chen Yue and Husaigong stood side by side, quietly watching the conflict between the three magistrates not far away intensify.
Chen Yue was wearing a snow-white cape, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. A small and exquisite bag hung around his waist, filled with his latest mysterious weapon. Hu Zhaigong was wearing a plain shrine maiden costume, looking low-key and mysterious.
The two stood aside, watching the fight between the three magistrates, with playful smiles on their faces. They were like two spectators, watching how the fight developed and enjoying the fun.
"It's really interesting, Chen Yue." Hu Saigong chuckled, "You said, this is obviously a very important matter, but why don't I feel nervous at all?"
"Haha, with your personality, if you really feel nervous, then something earth-shattering must have happened."
Chen Yue responded, his eyes never leaving the battlefield where the fierce battle was going on. He knew very well that this battle was not just a struggle between the three magistrates, but also concerned the future fate of Inazuma.
"But you don't seem to be worried about your bet at all." Kitsusai went on to say, "If I win, you will have to be my sex slave (crossed out) servant." There was a hint of joking and teasing in her tone, as if she had a great chance of winning.
“So what?” Chen Yue chuckled. “Is there a written contract? Is there a written agreement? There is none, right? If it’s in Liyue, it won’t work at all!”
Hearing this, Kitsusai was stunned for a moment. "But this is Inazuma, there is no such thing as yours."
"So what? You are under the jurisdiction of your Daoqi people. What does it have to do with me, a Liyue person?"
Hu Zhaigong: ? Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, eh?
