She visited several countries before finally settling on Inazuma, where the brewing industry was not very developed.

However, not long after they opened their business on the remote island, the Inazuma Shogunate issued the "National Isolation Edict".

During the period of national isolation, the "Far Voyage Wind" was forced to shut down, and Capilia was so distressed that she had to make a living by selling brewing ingredients—namely, Dudu lotus, mint, and dandelion seeds.

However, after the "lockdown" was lifted, new orders came in one after another. The allure of Mondstadt wine was something even Inatsume couldn't resist.

Moreover, during this "Radiant Splendor Festival", Capria specially collaborated with "Yaedo" to create a "joint event" - the doors of "Voyage of the Wind" were already covered with promotional posters, which depicted the pink-haired "Fox Fairy Priest" and the purple-haired "General".

This is a famous scene from the recently popular light novel "Please Take Care of My Fox Deity," depicting the fox deity priest treating the shogun's cold:

"This is a drink I specially mixed, called 'Aster Clouds'. I just went to an island and bought some Dudu Lotus from Mondstadt, plus some mint. Drinking this will help you get better from your cold."

Perhaps because I was dreaming, I didn't have enough strength to support my body.

"Ah, General, you are unable to rise. Then, please forgive my rudeness."

She fed "Aster Clouds" in a way I never even dared to dream of.

—When the author was researching for the novel, he visited "Voyage of the Wind" and drank Capilia's special "Aster Clouds" cocktail, and even added this cocktail to the novel.

Thanks to this novel, "The Wind of Voyage" has become famous, and "Aster Clouds" has surpassed dandelion wine to become the best-selling product of "The Wind of Voyage" - after all, who wouldn't want to taste what the lips of "Fox Fairy Palace Master" taste like?

“I want a cup, a cup, ‘Purple Cloud’…” A dark figure appeared in front of Capria.

It's a ghost.

A red demon over two meters tall, with two horns on its head and a white mane.

Despite having lived in Inazuma for three years, Capilia is still afraid of the Inazuma demons.

Moreover, the oni clan members are so tall and imposing that any normal girl would be afraid of them.

In particular, the demon clan member made a very fierce demand: "No beans can be added to the wine!"

"Aster Clouds" is a fruit wine made with Dudu lotus grown in Mondstadt and Violet melon, a specialty of Inazuma, along with mint and milk.

The smooth milk and refreshing fruit aromas intertwine and blend, allowing the flavors of both countries to collide across mountains and seas—there are no beans in it at all.

But Capilia was too frightened to reply.

"Boss, you scared someone."

A petite, green-haired woman dressed like a ninja suddenly appeared behind the burly demon man and kicked him in the shin.

The burly ghost immediately grabbed his calf and jumped up on one leg.

The ninja girl bowed politely to Capria and handed her a piece of paper with both hands: "Excuse me, boss, this is my business card. If any members of the 'Arataki Faction' do anything stupid in the future, please contact me and I will teach them a lesson."

Kapila looked at the business card the ninja girl handed her: "Arataki-ha deputy, Shinobu Hisaki."

The girl named Kuki Shinobu had already grabbed the big oni man by the hair and carried him away like a chick.

Kapilia could still faintly hear the reprimanding voice: "Boss Ichidou, we're here tonight to assist the magistrate in holding the festival, not to play around. No drinking before work is finished, or don't blame me for enforcing the laws of the sect..."

"But... that Purple Cloud wine, it's made by that foxy woman! In order to beat her in the next drinking contest, of course I have to investigate beforehand! 'Prepare in advance,' isn't that what you taught me?" Ichidou handed a flyer to Shinobu with a very aggrieved expression.

"The 'preparation' I was referring to isn't for this kind of thing... Hmm? 'Purple Clouds,' 'What does the Fox Fairy's lips taste like'...?"

Hisa couldn't help but sigh and crumple the flyer into a ball.

“Boss, this isn’t sake made by Yae-no-miya Tsukasa… Never mind, I think I should start by teaching them to read. After work tonight, the entire ‘Araki-ha’ will have extra cultural classes.”

"Now, recite the incantation of 'Omyo no Narukami Kariyama Festival' for me. If you misspell even one word, the authorities will deal with you according to the law."

"Hiss!" Ichito gasped. "Shinobu... can we make peace?"

"What do the lips of the Fox Fairy Palace Master taste like?"

Han Fulai can give a precise answer to this question.

Because the fox spirit priest from the novel is currently kissing his lips.

Her lips had a slightly sweet taste.

Chapter 258 The Taste of First Kiss: Cherry Blossom Chocolate [4k]

What does your first kiss taste like?

Regarding this question, Inazuma's novelists have given various different answers.

Some might say it's lemon flavored, sweet and sour, reminiscent of the awkwardness of youth; others might say it's apple flavored, evoking memories of wild pigeons flying, lake-blue courtyard walls, and the unforgettable scent of apples; still others might say it's milk flavored... if the other person happens to be drinking "Dumpling Milk".

As the editor-in-chief of "Yaedo," Miko had read countless stories of first love. She had also imagined the scenarios in which she would give her first kiss—but had never actually experienced it.

After all, no suitable person to be worthy of Lord Gongsi has been found in the past five hundred years.

But now, the divine child can answer this question.

The taste of my first kiss was cherry blossom chocolate.

Warm, soft, with a touch of velvety sweetness.

Amidst the falling crimson cherry blossoms of the sacred cherry tree, the fox spirit priestess, clad in a white kimono, offers her first kiss to her god.

—If it weren't for the lightning of "Unthinking One Slash", this scene would be perfect, and even the most demanding readers of shoujo novels couldn't ask for more.

What is she doing?

why?

Han Fulai didn't have time to make any move or any sound, because the Divine Child did something completely unexpected and so bold that even Shen He might cover his face and not dare to look.

When the lightning from "Wu Xiang's One Slash" faded, the two had already separated.

Han Fulai's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a little warm, sweet-smelling liquid fell down his throat into his stomach.

He saw the divine child raise his hand to cover his mouth, wiping away a trace of red from the corner of his lips.

A wisp of white hair rose up along the ends of her hair at her temples, while a faint golden light, like the sun, shone in her purple pupils.

In that kiss just now, he seemed to have... drunk the blood of the god.

Liyue sorcerers have a saying about "three-pointed blood" when performing exorcisms, and Inazuma's Onmyo magic also has similar techniques - "fingertip blood", "tongue tip blood", and "heart tip blood".

This "three-pointed blood" connects to the heart meridian and contains true yang, which can greatly enhance the power of magic.

However, "blood from the three points" should not be used lightly. "Blood from the fingertip" is harmful to the body, "blood from the tip of the tongue" shortens lifespan, and "blood from the tip of the heart" can lead to death.

Unless absolutely necessary, alchemists would never use "three-pointed blood".

What the divine child had just made him swallow was her "blood from the tip of her tongue."

The warm current rising from his dantian made Han Fulai suddenly realize that the divine child was sharing his "life" with him.

The "golden elixir" he cultivated according to the "Wuzhen Pian" passed down by Master Boyang was now pulsating within his body.

Originally, he was only at the "Hidden Void" realm, and his corresponding "Golden Core" was merely a liquid sphere, empty and unreal, representing that his realm was still at the "Half-Immortal" level, and he had not yet reached the path of heaven and man.

But when the "Golden Elixir" came into contact with the blood of the divine son, it suddenly solidified and turned into a small "sun," radiating endless warmth to the limbs and bones.

This kiss from the divine child actually allowed him to transcend realms, skipping from "Hidden Void" to "Insightful Observation" and leaping to "Transformation God"!

—Most of the immortal yakshas who followed the Emperor in the past were at this "Transformation of the Gods" realm. Although they did not have the title of "True Lord," they could already separate their souls from their bodies, travel through various realms in their dreams, and even after death, they could retain a part of their souls, appearing before people like that Bronze Sparrow Yaksha.

The Wuzhen Pian states: "Refining one's Qi into a spirit is called becoming a divine being. One is adaptable and free, with boundless abilities, capable of moving heaven and earth, and shifting mountains and drying up seas."

He is now a "god-like figure".

Even if the soul is damaged, it can be repaired with the "Golden Elixir".

The shrine maiden's face revealed its usual cunning: "Only foxes can deceive people; no one can deceive a fox. Don't try to hide anything from me; you'll have to bear everything yourself... Saving the gods is also the duty of your retinue, isn't it?"

As fireworks lit up the sky above the island, Han Fulai was waging a race against time within the consciousness space of Ying Xiangshan.

The method of "saving the past from the future" is clear; all he has to do is put it into practice.

But the hardest thing is to put it into practice.

Amidst the prayers of the divine child, Han Fulai raised the Salt Sorrow Spear and poured the evil filth he had absorbed into the "malignant tumor" of the divine cherry tree's root system.

According to the plan, Shadow needs to use "a single, thoughtless slash" to divide the evil filth and send it beyond the world.

And that's exactly what Ying did.

Holding the celestial light in her hand, she traced an arc like the moon, sending that otherworldly power back to the outside world.

This is a surgical precision—not a fraction more, not a fraction less, removing only the "affected area" without harming the sacred cherry tree.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, General Thunder is indeed the best in the world. Even the other "Seven Rulers of the Mortal World" who are good at battle are not necessarily able to do it so effortlessly.

The divine cherry tree also changed amidst the flashing blades.

It has gradually shrunk from a towering tree, like a so-called "reverse aging," returning from a tree to a bud.

With each swing of the sword, the filth diminished, and the Divine Cherry Tree shrank accordingly.

—But correspondingly, Han Fulai, who was standing behind her, would look even paler.

His plan was perfect, and his preparations were thorough. As long as he could execute the plan, "the future saving the past" would be a natural outcome.

If there's any flaw in this perfect plan, it's in him.

This is something Han Fulai didn't tell Ying: In order to save the Divine Child, he made a "familiarity contract" with the Divine Child and, through the soul connection of the contract, "plundered" the evil filth from the Divine Child's soul.

In other words, the evil and filth that were cut off by the shadow are now "bound" to his soul.

As a "Descendant," he was indeed able to resist the corruption of the evil star. The side effects of absorbing that filth were nothing more than tinnitus and headaches, which, although painful, were still within the limits of his willpower.

However, this time the pain he felt far exceeded his ability to bear.

Each of Shadow Slash's strikes was actually like cutting off a part of his body.

The essence of this great purification ritual is to allow the shadow to perform "operation" on the evil defilement that entangles his soul, and it is "operation without anesthesia".

In ancient times, Guan Yu underwent bone-scraping surgery to remove poison, yet he could still play chess and chat with others with ease. Han Fulai, however, truly lacked this ability.

After those few slashes from Ying, he was already on the verge of losing consciousness.

Back in the Taiwei Instrument Realm, in order to contact Yelan and the others, he asked Fushe Yaksha to help open a spatial passage. That time, he paid the price of soul damage.

He had thought that with experience, he would be able to withstand this kind of wear and tear, or at least hold out until the Shadow completely cleansed the evil filth from his body... But clearly, he was wrong.

The pain of a worn-down soul cannot be erased by willpower alone.

Legend has it that there is a level of the eighteen levels of hell called the "Dismemberment Hell," and Han Fulai is now experiencing the pain of the "Dismemberment Hell."

Unlike physical pain, which can be eliminated by the body's own endorphins, the pain of the soul is incredibly vivid, like watching your soul being sliced ​​into pieces piece by piece with your eyes wide open, unable even to faint...

But he cannot stop the Great Purification Ritual; if he does, all his previous efforts will be in vain. Having suffered soul damage, he will no longer have the power to control the evil spirits and defilements. They will only regrow, eventually overwhelming his will and seizing control of his body, just as the remnant soul of the Salt God had done before.

As the leader of this plan, he must not falter at crucial moments.

Even if it means enduring it, even if the wear and tear on his soul might cripple him or even kill him... even if it means grinding all his teeth to dust, he will grit his teeth and hold on until the very last moment.

Until... that sudden kiss from the goddess.

The goddess smiled calmly, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and the few strands of white hair that had appeared earlier disappeared with the movement of her fingers. Along with them, the gold in her eyes also vanished.

Han Fulai's guess was not entirely correct; what the divine child had just offered was not merely his "life," but his "bloodline." That mouthful of "blood from the tip of his tongue" contained the "Bai Chen Blood," which had been passed down for thousands of years by the Bai Chen Fox Clan.

The Seven Classics of Mountains states: "The country of the White People is located north of Chenyu. There is a creature called Chenghuang, which looks like a fox with a horn on its back. Riding it grants a lifespan of two thousand years."

The "Bai Chen bloodline" is descended from the ancient divine steed that pulled the sun chariot—the "Golden-Eyed Horse Riding the Yellow Moon Steed." "Bai Chen" symbolizes the sun, the star that governs the daytime.

As descendants of that "Golden-Eyed Horse Riding a Yellow Moon Steed," the Bai Chen Fox Clan has always had a long lifespan. Those who become "Sky Foxes" can even live as long as heaven and earth, almost on par with demon gods.

The immortals of Liyue need the guidance of the Emperor to cultivate immortality and attain enlightenment. However, the fox spirits who inherited the "blood of Bai Chen" were born with immortal bodies, as were the fox spirits of Fox Abode and Youle Abode. If it weren't for the calamity of the "Dark Calamity," they should have lived even more freely than the demon gods.

In that kiss, the goddess transferred all the foundation of her being a fox spirit into his body.

As for herself, she regressed from the "Heavenly Fox" realm to the "Spirit Fox" realm, where her lifespan was only a hundred years.

The great demon Bai Chen, who once boasted that he was the second demon god of Inazuma, is now just a "little fox" who has only recently mastered the art of transformation five hundred years ago.

"You are the key to everything. I cannot allow anything to happen to you, understand?"

The goddess glared at Han Fulai reproachfully, silencing him before he could utter a single word.

"I see."

Han Fulai nodded.

No further words were needed; He knew the Son of God's will.

A smile appeared on the god's face.

She first heard of Han Fulai in a correspondence with Gan Yu.
