"Your fox nose is too sensitive, isn't it?"
Yae Miko froze. She had been too hasty, too careless. She hadn't had time to mask her scent, and Feng Yi had caught her red-handed.
"Hmph, you only come to find me last. So, they are more important to you than I am!"
Yae Miko let out a cold snort, and a sour scent filled the room.
Despite being the exalted Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, the fox's true nature was hard to suppress when it came to jealousy.
"That's not true. Ayaka and Yoimiya were just on the way. You are the most important!"
Feng Yi stroked the little fox's tail and quickly tried to placate her.
Hearing Feng Yi's explanation, Yae Miko reluctantly accepted it. She tried to pull her tail out of Feng Yi's grasp, but he held it tightly.
After a few failed attempts, she let him continue stroking it.
"Feng Yi, you just said you saw Ei?"
Yae Miko sat up, recalling what Feng Yi had said when he entered, and asked. She was curious how Feng Yi had managed to bypass the General's Puppet.
"Mm, after I saw the General's Puppet, just as I expected, she drew her sword to attack me before we could even exchange a few words. But I was a step ahead. I drew her sword, then we had a great battle. Finally, I activated the River God's Domain, which damaged the puppet. That's how Ei, who was in seclusion in the Plane of Euthymia, was awakened..."
Feng Yi continued to stroke Yae Miko's fluffy fox tail, becoming more engrossed by the moment, and roughly recounted the events to her.
"I see. After you met Ei, did you manage to persuade her?"
Yae Miko gritted her teeth, enduring the stimulation from her tail, and shot Feng Yi a reproachful glance.
"Alas~ I tried, but the effect wasn't very significant. Afterwards, I told her a story about the Black Ships, highlighting the dangers of a closed-door policy, so she could understand theιη herself. I'll go back in a while to check on her comprehension."
Feng Yi paused his tail-stroking. Ei's stubbornness was truly exasperating. Forcing her would likely have the opposite effect.
"That's the only way for now. Feng Yi, is my tail soft?"
Yae Miko suddenly knelt on the floor, tugged at her clothes, and bit her lip, revealing a captivating allure.
"Of course, not a single coarse hair, it's a pink, big tail. Who wouldn't like it?"
Feng Yi watched as Yae Miko crawled on the floor, inching closer and closer, pinning him down.
"Feng Yi, my period is over!"
Yae Miko had originally planned to proceed step by step, win his heart first, and then perfectly capture Feng Yi.
But today, smelling the scent of other women on Feng Yi had given her a strong sense of crisis.
She had to change her strategy!
Delay would only lead to complications. Yae Miko decided to take Feng Yi today!
Gulp...
Feng Yi, who was he? He immediately understood Yae Miko's unspoken meaning.
Before leaving, one last wild moment didn't seem so bad.
Feng Yi released Yae Miko's tail and pulled her into his arms...
This was his first time doing something like this while holding her tail.
One thousand words are omitted here.
Kissing the breathless and exhausted Yae Miko, Feng Yi left the Grand Narukami Shrine feeling refreshed.
It was truly worth the trip!
He had borrowed many techniques from "The Banquet of Bliss." Indeed, they were profound and marvelous.
The forefront of Kazuha's Beach.
This was the main battlefield where the Shogunate army and the resistance fought.
The previous battle had just ended, and it was currently a tacitly agreed-upon truce between the warring parties.
Unexpectedly, the resistance army not only did not rest but instead reassembled their troops and stood in strict formation, more tense than during their previous engagement with the Shogunate army.
"Lord Gorou, isn't it a truce period right now? Why are we breaking this understanding? The soldiers are exhausted after a hard-fought battle."
A soldier of the resistance army looked at the general before him with confusion.
Continuous battles beyond their limits would only result in more casualties.
They couldn't believe that Lord Gorou didn't know this, which was why they were so puzzled.
"It's Kokomi-sama's order. We need to pick someone up!"
Gorou glanced in the direction of the Shogunate army and said with a hint of anticipation.
"So it's Kokomi-sama's order. But who is worthy of us doing this?"
Upon hearing that it was the decision of their most admired Kokomi-sama, the soldier's doubts vanished. Kokomi-sama was a master strategist, and she must have her reasons for doing this.
He couldn't help but become curious about the person they were waiting for.
"He is a traveler..."
Gorou had only just received the news and was surprised that this person had accomplished such heroic deeds.
"Just a traveler, why does Kokomi-sama value him so much?"
The resistance soldier was perplexed.
"He's not an ordinary traveler. He's a traveler who dared to fight the Electro Archon and emerged unscathed!"
Gorou said with admiration. Feng Yi had dared to face the might of the Electro Archon and leave unharmed, which greatly surprised him.
"Fought with the Raiden Shogun and came back unscathed? This... this is too amazing! If our resistance could recruit such a powerful ally, wouldn't defeating the Shogunate army be just around the corner?"
The resistance soldiers behind Gorou excitedly waved their fists. So, the person they were waiting for was this formidable!
The Raiden Shogun was the pinnacle of martial arts, a powerful being who could slay gods with a single strike.
What would a person who could fight her and come back unharmed be like?
Six arms and three heads? As strong as a yak?
The resistance soldiers whispered among themselves, speculating about the person's appearance, their descriptions becoming increasingly outlandish.
Gorou's gaze was sharp as he stared intently in the direction of the Shogunate army. As soon as Feng Yi appeared, they would attack to ensure his safe passage.
"He's here! Prepare for battle. Don't engage in prolonged combat. Just block the Shogunate army and ensure Mr. Feng Yi's retreat!"
Gorou spotted a figure approaching from afar. Comparing it to the image on the wanted posters, he confirmed it was Feng Yi. He immediately drew his weapon, ready for battle.
Upon hearing Lord Gorou's command, the resistance soldiers stopped their discussions. They gripped their weapons tightly and nervously looked up, eager to see what the legendary figure who fought the Raiden Shogun looked like.
The air instantly fell silent. The Shogunate army on the opposite side, having gathered their forces, also stood in readiness, and battle was imminent.
"Everyone, do me a favor and let's have a truce for now?"
Before everyone's eyes, a man of elegant bearing instantly appeared in the open space between the two armies.
They couldn't even discern how this man had appeared.
"It's him! The person on the wanted posters! He's the one who assassinated the General!"
The Shogunate soldiers suddenly realized. They now understood why the resistance army had assembled their troops at this time.
Hearing Feng Yi's voice, their hearts trembled. This was the person who had fought the Raiden Shogun and emerged unscathed!
