Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Very Smart, Little Guy

The dark clouds grew thicker and the lightning became stronger.

In the end, the general's entire body gradually became suspended in air.

She opened her arms slightly, and occasionally one or two electric snakes flashed around her. However, compared with these, the greatest impact on people was the pressure from the gods.

That is the natural deterrent of higher life forms to ordinary humans, just like the ferocious predators at the top of the food chain facing those harmless herbivores.

The palace maids who had been looking at the general eagerly just now were now all pale, and Xue Qing was even staggering, so Ning Qingxuan had to stretch out her arms to support her.

Gradually, dark clouds covered the entire Chang'an City, and the spreading trend showed no signs of stopping.

The officials of the Imperial Observatory had gone crazy at this point. According to their monitoring data, it was impossible for such a large-scale thunderstorm to occur in Chang'an, Guanzhong today.

At the same time, the jade bracelet on Ning Qingxuan's right wrist emitted a fluorescent light, and a small holographic projection panel popped up in front of her.

In the picture, Ning Junkang asked seriously: "Qingxuan, what's going on?"

"Father, look."

Ning Qingxuan didn't say much and turned the camera directly to the general.

Ning Junkang: "——!?"

"As you can see, father, Ying is testing his power as the Thunder God."

Ning Junkang frowned slightly, but then gradually relaxed his brows.

It's not like he hasn't seen such scenes before.

His own son, the Crown Prince Ning Qingxuan, possesses the ability to distort the electromagnetic force field around him by his own will.

In the past, when he was tested for his abilities with the assistance of the technical bureaucrats in the Institute of Gewu, Ning Qingxuan, when he gave it his all, was able to create similar scenes.

Of course, the general in the picture looks quite relaxed, but Ning Qingxuan is already at his limit to achieve this level.

So, is this the gap between man and God?

Ning Junkang sighed inwardly, and then said, "I see. I'll inform the Imperial Observatory of the situation. You should be careful not to make too much noise."

He had complete trust in his son. Since Ning Qingxuan was present, he thought that "Miss Ying" would not cause any big trouble.

After finishing a brief exchange with Ning Junkang, Ning Qingxuan looked up at the sky again.

With the five senses shared, he knew very well that the general (himself) had not used his full strength.

This is normal. The Thunder God of Teyvat can cover the entire Inazuma Islands in continuous thunderstorms with just his unconscious thoughts, while the General can fight with the Shadow in the consciousness space for hundreds of years without a clear winner.

Now it's just about letting thunder cover Chang'an City, which is still a long way to go.

But this was enough. Ning Qingxuan's mind moved, and the general opened his eyes. The bright purple in his pupils slowly disappeared, and the dark clouds and thunderstorms in the sky dissipated in an instant.

After falling back to the ground again, the general walked up to Ning Qingxuan and Yae Shen Zi with a smile.

Ignoring the fearful looks from the maids around him, the general said to Yae Shinko, "How is it?"

"How much power did you use just now?" Yae Shinto asked bluntly.

The general roughly estimated and replied, "About one floor, maybe less. But if I want to use greater powers, I will need some time to adapt."

The pink fox had an obviously satisfied look on her face, and she kicked her hind legs and jumped into the general's arms.

"It's pretty good. As you said, the time since you woke up is too short, and this is your first attempt. I'm quite satisfied with the result. Tsk, Ying, that guy, his puppet-making skills are really good."

After a pause, Yae Shinko laughed again: "But this is also related to your specialness. Your body was created by Ying using his own body. Your 'sister' in Tianshou Pavilion is not like that. When she was first created, she couldn't do what you are now."

Miss Fox was in a very good mood. The general's performance gave her hope of returning home.

More importantly, since the general can use divine power normally in this world, she can quickly restore her strength with the help of the general.

Just as he was happily thinking about turning back into a human, Yae God suddenly heard Ning Qingxuan ask, "I have a question. This is not the world of Teyvat. How can the authority of the gods there be used normally here?"

Yae Shinko yawned lazily, changed into a comfortable position in the general's arms, and swung his tail. Then he half-opened his eyes and said, "Little guy, what do you think the essence of the authority of the gods is?"

Ning Qingxuan and the general looked at each other and replied, "Rules, or concepts."

This really surprised Yae Shinko: "Huh? You actually guessed it right? Obviously there are no gods in your world."

(But the problem is that I am the general, how can I not be aware of my own situation?)

Ning Qingxuan laughed secretly in her heart.

"Yes, it's concepts and rules. Of course, in Teyvat, it's not just the Seven Ruling Gods who represent these, but each 'Demon God' represents a concept and a rule. It doesn't matter whether he is a god or not, as long as he is a Demon God."

"General - well, I mean this girl, she is very special. Although she is a puppet made by Shadow, her body is Shadow's own body. Therefore, she is just like Shadow, and naturally fits and represents the concept of lightning."

"Even if she is not a recognized god, even if there are no gods in your world, little one, you can't have no concept of thunder and lightning here, right?"

"As long as she has this concept, she can use her natural authority as the embodiment of the concept. Oh my, these secrets are information that ordinary people in Teyvat cannot possibly know. How are you going to thank me for learning this from me?"

Since the other party answered her questions, Ning Qingxuan would not hesitate to ask, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"I'm hungry."

Yae Shinko used one of her little front paws to touch the furry and soft little belly in a humane way.

"I haven't eaten anything since I came here. Hurry up, bring me anything delicious and fun~~!"

"Fried tofu?"

The eyes of the Eightfold Son of God instantly lit up, and he turned over and climbed out of the general's arms, and even jumped onto Ning Qingxuan's shoulders for the first time.

"Very good, little one."
