Genshin Impact: My entries are irresistible.

Page 89

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission "Riding the Waves"; Reward: 1 million Mora, 500 points, 500 experience points, and the entry "Crimson Cherry Blossom Realm" will be added.]

【Crimson Cherry Blossom Realm】: The owner can actively release a Crimson Cherry Blossom Barrier. The Crimson Cherry Blossom Breath within the barrier can amplify the desires of those within it.

Upon setting foot on the island, the system task was completed, and a new entry was generated.

Beidou sent someone in advance to notify acquaintances who had left the island, and people were already waiting to greet them at the pier.

A man with short blond hair, a big smile on his face, walked up to them enthusiastically.

“This is my recent business partner—Mr. Thomas!” Beidou introduced. “He’s been around on the island for a long time and is practically a local bigwig. If you have any problems, just go to him.”

"This is......"

"No need for introductions; the reputation of a traveler from afar is so renowned that even the storms of the open sea cannot diminish it. I've heard of it for a long time. But this gentleman..."

"Mr. Thomas, it's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Lu Lin!" Although the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament made Lu Lin famous, his reputation is still not as well-known as Ying's for the time being.

"Hello Mr. Lu, everyone's here. Let's go register first," Thomas greeted the group.

The Beidou fleet had other missions and would not stay on the island; only Lu Linying, Paimeng, and two others disembarked.

"Be careful, and never rashly clash with General Thunder." Before parting, Beidou gave him this advice again.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. You be careful too!" Lu Lin gave her a big hug.

In front of everyone, Beidou was a little shy, but she still tiptoed and left a light kiss on Lu Lin's lips.

After parting ways with Beidou, the three followed Thomas to the inspection station to register.

Thomas wasn't particularly concerned about Lu Lin at first; his main focus was on observing the travelers. However, the scene of Lu Lin and Beidou kissing goodbye did give him a slight shock.

He had long heard about how tough this "big sister" of the Liyue people was, and to have won her heart, she must be no ordinary person.

not to mention......

He was even holding Ying's hand!

Who exactly is this person?

Thomas realized that things had taken an unexpected turn and that he needed to reassess these people.

What surprised him even more was yet to come.

After registering at the inspection station, Thomas led a few people to complete the residency procedures at the Far Kingdom Inspection Office, and then he took the opportunity to tell them about the difficulties encountered by the World Merchants Association.

In Lu Lin's memory, this was a test that Thomas was giving to Ying.

Thomas is a servant of the Kamisato family, who are in charge of the Inatsuma Society. He is stationed on the island on the orders of Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, to await the arrival of Hikari.

If Ying can pass the test they set, they will take her to see Ayaka Kamisato and invite her to join the resistance against the Eye Hunt Order.

Lu Lin certainly wouldn't let go of the famous White Heron Princess of Inazuma... cough cough, he had to meet her.

Lu Lin didn't want to waste time, so he quickly completed the test with Ying.

After a perfunctory investigation, he went straight to Werner, the businessman who had caused trouble for the World Merchants Association.

By using artifacts from their homeland to awaken the conscience of the unscrupulous merchant Werner, they obtained evidence to subdue the evil deeds of the foot soldiers...

In short, Thomas passed the test he deliberately set out for him perfectly.

It was so perfect that even Thomas was amazed.

He realized that the reason this matter could be resolved so smoothly and efficiently was entirely due to Lu Lin's accurate and ruthless judgment. This person might be even more worthy of being won over than Ying!

Having made this judgment, he took the initiative to reveal his identity as a magistrate to Lu Lin and the others, leaving them an address for the [Wooden Leak Tea House] on Narukami Island, telling them to come and find him there, before leaving.

This is the second test: foreigners are not allowed to leave the island. Thomas wants Lu Lin and the others to find their own way to leave the island.

......

"This Thomas is so mysterious, what kind of test is he putting on? What is he trying to do?" Paimon asked, puzzled.

"Never mind him, it's getting late. Let's go back to Chen Ge Hu for the night and talk about leaving tomorrow." Lu Lin wasn't worried at all and found a quiet place to go back to Chen Ge Hu.

The pot was filled with the lively chatter of women having a meal together.

Today is a rare occasion, as Chiori and Charlotte are also here.

Qianzhi and Lulin have both been quite busy lately, and their schedules have always been mismatched, so they haven't seen each other for a while.

After the dinner, everyone tacitly left time for Chiori and Charlotte, letting Lu Lin spend some quality time with them.

After several hours of passionate battle, Charlotte had fallen asleep with Lu Lin's arms around her waist, while Chiori lay in Lu Lin's arms, quietly savoring the afterglow.

"I've arrived in Inazuma. Would you like to go home and visit? I can take you there."

Chiori left Inazuma to venture into Fontaine before the Eye Hunt Order was issued, and it had been a long time since she had returned home.

The languid girl looked up and gave him a kiss: "You go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll come back after I'm done."

Chapter 160 First Encounter with Linghua: A Powerful First Impression

Chiori actually has a good relationship with her parents, who are very supportive of her plan to venture out into the world.

Having been away from home for so long, it's impossible for me not to miss home.

But she also understood the bigger picture. The situation in Inazuma was dire; the country was very unfriendly to foreigners. Lu Lin was new here and would undoubtedly face many difficulties; now was not a good time to visit relatives.

Lu Lin rewarded her for her understanding kindness by drinking her a full glass of wine before stopping.

......

The next morning, Lu Lin returned to the island alone.

In his memory, the Hiiragi family, who were in charge of managing the outlying islands, had colluded with the Fools and would deliberately delay them from leaving the islands.

Of course, this was no challenge for Lu Lin.

He has plenty of ways to secretly leave the island and sneak into Narukami Island.

Forcing his way through is one option, but that would cause a lot of trouble later and affect his actions in Inazuma.

In the end, Lu Lin chose to dive in from the sea.

With the power of water elementalism, he found a deserted beach south of the island, submerged himself, and headed southeast towards Narukami Island.

This was no challenge for Lu Lin, who already possessed god-level strength.

He stealthily made his way to the beach on the west side of White Fox Wilds, where he woke up Ying and Paimon, who were still sleeping in Dust Song Pot, and brought them out.

"Huh, we've arrived at Narukami Island after just one nap? Lu Lin is amazing!" Paimon flew around, curious about everything in front of him.

Ying nodded in agreement with Paimon, her feelings a little complicated.

It feels like the journey has become so much easier since I got together with Lu Lin.

Not to mention taking action, he doesn't even need to use his brain much. Lu Lin can find the best solution to any problem he encounters.

But this feeling is actually quite good; travelers don't have to suffer without hardship!

"Let's go, let's go to Inazuma Castle and look for the Wooden Leak Tea House."

......

When Thomas saw Lu Lin and the other two, he was completely stunned.

No, how did they find us so quickly?

And it's only been one night!

When did the Expeditionary Enforcement Bureau become so incompetent?

Despite his shock, Thomas still warmly welcomed the three of them.

"Brother Thomas, did you not expect us to arrive so quickly?" Lu Lin's smile made Thomas feel that this man was even more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Brother Lu is indeed constantly surprising me. I believe Miss will be very much looking forward to meeting you!"

Yesterday, when we were on the island, Thomas had already introduced the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Ayaka Kamisato, and both Hikari and Paimon were very curious about her.

"When will we have the opportunity to meet this White Egret Princess?" Ying asked.

"I will arrange for you to go to the house of the magistrate, Shinri, in a short while, but before that, I would like to invite you to another place."

"The Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue!"

The Thousand Hands and Hundred Eyes is a colossal structure under construction, inlaid with divine eyes confiscated by the Eye Hunt Order.

Thomas brought Lu Lin and the others to visit, which was naturally a prelude to inviting the three of them to join the resistance against the Eye Hunt Order.

The statue was tall and majestic, already inlaid with many divine eyes, and filled with a chilling aura.

Lu Lin came with the mindset of a visitor and was not affected by the somber atmosphere; in fact, he was quite relaxed.

He's like a retired senior official enjoying life.

During this time, Thomas also gave a detailed account of the relationships and duties of the Inazuma Sanbugyo, as well as the origin of the Eye Hunting Order and the Raiden General's concept of eternity.

These things were nothing new to Lu Lin; he was already very familiar with them. But Ying and Paimon didn't know them and listened very attentively.

Thomas observed the different behaviors of the three people, and this was all information he needed to report to the young lady.

After visiting the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, Thomas led the three away to the Kamisato family's house, located east of Kagemachi.

......

The Kamisato family mansion emphasizes a refined and elegant style, rather than being extravagant, which is completely different from the lavish style of the Gungyuk Pavilion.

In the reception room, the three waited briefly before Thomas went to announce their arrival. Finally, they were able to meet the renowned Princess Ayaka Kamisato, the White Heron Princess of Inazuma.

No, we haven't met yet.

Ayaka Kamisato did not appear; instead, she waited for guests behind a screen.

"Miss Linghua, are you not planning to show yourself?" Lu Lin tapped his teacup lightly with his fingers, looking relaxed.

"I apologize, but this is a custom we follow. I hope you understand." A young girl's voice came from behind the screen, gentle yet carrying a touch of the refined elegance of a wealthy family.

"As expected of the noble White Egret Princess!" Lu Lin said calmly.

Why does Lu Lin's statement sound a bit sarcastic?

Although Ying found this custom of hospitality strange, Lu Lin's attitude surprised her even more.

"You have traveled across the ocean and are weary from your journey. It is only in this way that we can meet at your home. Please forgive our lack of courtesy." The girl's apologetic voice came again from behind the screen.

"It's alright. Miss Linghua, is there something you need from us?"

"Thoma must have already shown several people the Thousand-Handed Hundred-Eyed Statue. Now, under the Eye Hunting Order, the people's wishes are being trampled on wantonly in Inazuma."

Although the society's officials serve the shogun, they are also the party most closely connected to the people's livelihood, and cannot sit idly by in this situation.

Thomas relayed to me the performance of several people after they landed on the island. I believe you have the power to change the situation, and I need your power!

Mr. Lu, travelers, please lend me your strength, we will definitely…

"So what can we gain?" Lu Lin interrupted her passionate persuasion.

"Huh?" The girl was taken aback.

"In other words, why should we help you? Since you need our help, no matter how noble your purpose may be, you should at least show your sincerity."

But I didn't see any sincerity from you; all I saw along the way were these condescending so-called tests.

Having finally arrived at the Kamisato family, Miss Ayaka doesn't even show her face, yet she expects us to help her fight against the Eye Hunt Order?

That's a direct confrontation with General Thunder; don't you know how powerful General Thunder is?

Lu Lin suddenly launched an attack, his sharp words leaving everyone stunned.

Ying and Paimon knew that he had already declared his intention to resolve the Eye Hunt Order before even disembarking, so they assumed he wouldn't miss out on such a good ally as Ayaka Kamisato.

Who would have thought that as soon as they started talking, he would first criticize the noble White Egret Princess.

"I'm sorry, this is a custom that the society has followed for hundreds of years, I..."

"Can a bizarre and outdated custom compare to the people's wishes, or to the increasingly dire situation in Inazuma?" Lu Lin interrupted again.

Ayaka remained silent. Thomas wanted to explain, but Ayaka behind the screen stopped him with a look.

"I apologize, Mr. Lu. It was Linghua's oversight. I will now discuss this with you face to face." The girl walked out from behind the screen with delicate steps.

Lu Lin looked up and saw a beautiful and elegant young woman with a fragrant breeze approaching him, kneeling down face to face.
