He changed Tiwat

The lotus blossoms tremble, heavy with dew; the willow catkins fly wildly, defying the wind.

A moment of unbridled joy turns to fear; a hearty laugh fades into tears as one turns away.

After five hundred tribulations, he finally attained enlightenment, and the years were recorded on the Stone of Three Lives.

A hairpin of purple jade is offered to express deep love; a quilt of blue silk is worn to tenderly care for.

I cut my hair early to express my wish to grow old together; I drew my brush to record our love story.

The past is vividly clear in the mirror, while memories are like scattered gold dust.

The palace official is but a traveler in the mortal world; eternity is but a fleeting moment of Zen.

I awoke with my sleeves damp with the scent of rosy clouds; I was half fox spirit and half immortal.

Chapter 267 After Meng passed on his clothes in the middle of the night, he did not envy Wang Xiang for obtaining a sword.

This experience made Han Fulai understand a principle—it is only human nature for King Zhou to be bewitched by Daji.

Throughout history, "fox spirit" has been a synonym for "femme fatale," and that is no exaggeration.

He initially approached the dual cultivation with the divine child with the intention of "healing the sick and saving lives"... but not long after, he realized that something seemed amiss—this "patient" was completely uncooperative with the treatment, yet he was pointing fingers at the "doctor," and even brought out a strange booklet with forty-eight self-created treatment plans...

It was at that time that he learned that the Divine Child had obtained the "Blood of White Star" from Raiden Shin and was no longer in danger of losing his life.

—It's certainly a good thing that the shrine maiden's life is safe, but this means that his "dual cultivation healing" with the shrine maiden in the middle of the night has truly become an "affair."

This was probably the time he was most thoroughly deceived by the divine child.

The divine child clearly didn't need "treatment," yet she actively pulled him into dual cultivation; she was obviously lusting after his body!

Moreover, she even turned the tables and twisted the truth, insisting that he was lusting after her body!

She even specifically chose this place that could "gain a buff," in the sacred Narukami Shrine, dressed in a holy shrine maiden's robes, and entwined with him in front of the "Statue of the Head of Narukami Shrine"...

This is truly... intolerable!

Therefore, Han Fulai severely punished the divine son.

The goddess seemed to know it was her fault, and she was very proactive in admitting her mistake and apologizing. So, in the latter half of the night, Han Fulai enjoyed the goddess's "service".

To be honest... he really enjoyed it.

...At least Han Fulai now has the idea that "from now on the emperor will no longer hold morning court".

He has always been a very diligent person. After transmigrating and becoming Yue Haiting's secretary, he also gained the "Innate Overtime Holy Body" that makes him half-god and half-immortal, so he almost never slept in again.

The shrine's morning bell had already rung, and the shrine maidens had begun their morning prayers. Usually, by this time, Han Fulai would have already finished getting ready and started his day's work.

But at this moment, he began to crave the warmth of the embrace.

The fox spirit's body temperature seems to be higher than that of an ordinary woman—the divine child's claim that she once "warmed Raiden's hands and feet" when she was young is probably not unfounded.

It felt really comfortable to hold her.

The fox's ears were soft, its tail was soft, and its body was soft, and it smelled wonderful—after all, the goddess had grown up eating "Scarlet Cherry Blossoms," and even her sweat carried the scent of cherry blossoms.

It's like soaking in a bath filled with flower petals, warm and cozy, making you not want to move at all.

"Since I received my clothes in the middle of the night, I no longer envy Wang Xiang for his sword." Han Fulai silently recited two lines of poetry.

This is Li Shangyin's "Letter of Thanks". It is said that Li Shangyin was secretly taught the art of writing memorials by his mentor Linghu Chu. He often studied hard in the cold of the night. Linghu Chu specially gave Li Shangyin a fox fur coat to keep him warm.

The fox fur coat that Han Fulai was wearing was much warmer than the one Li Shangyin was wearing.

The goddess lying on his chest blinked.

Although she didn't know which allusion Han Fulai was using, she could guess what Han Fulai was thinking.

There's really no need to guess, since something is pressing against her tail.

The goddess quietly tucked her head under the covers, while her hand reached down to her sides.

Hmm, the Crimson Cloud Immortal Pestle, its tip twitching gracefully.

Han Fulai couldn't resist grabbing the big, furry tail.

Beneath the fox's tail, a rare flower begins to bloom, its petals just beginning to open.

Thus, the Jade Mountains stood side by side, their temples shrouded in mist, and they vied to compose poems in unison, exchanging gifts and responses.

In my boudoir, I recall the first time I was intimate with you. The brocade curtains had just been lowered when I felt a mixture of joy and fear; my precious hairpin trembled as I suppressed a soft sob, overwhelmed with emotion at that moment.

In my boudoir, I recall the days when I was with my beloved. I tried to hide my shame, but could not conceal myself with my embroidered fan. At the most blissful moment, I removed my makeup and we drifted into the land of sweet dreams.

By the time the peonies were glistening with dew and the clouds over the Wu Gorge had ceased, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Lord Kuji! Lord Kuji!" A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the corridor.

The one who came to see the chief priest was the shrine maiden, Inashiro Hotaru.

Yae no Miko has been "recuperating due to illness" for some time now, and the shrine maidens usually don't bother her, but today is the opening ceremony of the "Radiant Splendor Festival".

Miss Kamisato just sent a message to the shrine saying that the "Radiant Splendor Festival" will officially open soon, and the Shogun will personally attend the ceremony. However, Yae no Kyoji has not yet arrived. Could something have happened?

As is customary, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine is required to attend all important festivals in Inatsume, a duty that has been upheld by the shrine for thousands of years. While the shogun may not be present, the chief priest must be there under all circumstances.

The general is scheduled to attend the festival today, but Yae no Kami is absent without reason. If the general blames them, all the little shrine maidens will suffer as a result.

In her haste, Inashiro Hotaru didn't even bother to knock and barged into Shinko's bedroom.

The next second, the innocent little witch screamed and covered her face—in front of her was a strange man.

Actually, he wasn't entirely unfamiliar with her; Han Fulai's name had already spread throughout Inazuma City. When he "live-streamed" his declaration of war at sea, Inazuma Hotaru had been watching the entire process from the summit of Shadow Peak, so she recognized his face.

But even though he was recognized, Han Fulai's current appearance was truly outrageous.

It was already strange that he appeared in the priest's bedroom, but what was even stranger was that he was sitting naked on the priest's bed... Not only that, but his private parts were covered with a red and white shrine maiden's robe, the very one that the priest usually wore.

Moreover, there were large wet patches on the shrine maiden's robes...

Inashiro Hotaru covered her face and fled.

Han Fulai froze on the spot.

A second ago, the Yae no Miko who was lying on him had disappeared.

That shrine maiden's outfit was originally worn by the shrine maiden.

But now the clothes are still there, but the person is gone.

To outsiders, this scene would likely appear as if Han Fulai were secretly doing something shameful while examining the priestess's robes...

No, even if he saw it himself, the only word to describe the scene was "abnormal".

"After Meng passed away in the middle of the night, I no longer envied Wang Xiang for having a sword."

A soft, delicate voice mimicked his tone and recited two lines of poetry.

"You like other people's clothes that much?"

Han Fulai turned around angrily and saw a small pink fox crawling out from the head of the bed. The fox's eyes were squinting into slits as it smiled.

"You stinky fox...!"

Han Fulai gritted his teeth and tried to grab the pink fox's tail, but the fox nimbly flicked its tail and slipped away from his grasp.

"You just said that I smelled really good." The fox smiled and wagged its big tail as it walked out of the bedroom door. When it turned around, it had transformed back into the neatly dressed Lord Kyoto.

As she left, she didn't forget to turn back and mock, "Please enjoy my shrine maiden outfit, my lord, it's still hot, isn't it?"

After that day, a strange rumor spread at Narukami Shrine—it was said that the newly appointed Shogun and Minister of the Interior, Lord Han, had a crush on Yae no Kami and even secretly sneaked into the shrine to do unspeakable things to the Kami no Kami's shrine maiden attire.

Not many people believed the rumor, but as the saying goes, "there's no smoke without fire," and the idea that "Lord Han is in love with Lord Gongsi" seems to have been widely accepted.

Chapter 268 From now on, I will not concern myself with the matter of reincarnation, but will instead be the sound of dawn breaking over the world.

After his reputation was damaged, Han Fulai did not dare to attend the opening ceremony of the "Guanghua Rongcai Festival".

He knew exactly what the prince was thinking; it was a matter of "getting on the bus first and buying a ticket later," and he had personally handled public opinion campaigns several times before.

But he had just mentioned marriage to the Shadow, and then turned around and had a fait accompli with the Divine Child, which was undoubtedly a kind of "provocation" to the Shadow—at least the Divine Child definitely meant it.

Meeting Ying at this time would likely create an awkward atmosphere, so he intentionally avoided her.

Anyway, it's the "Radiant Splendor Festival" now, so it's not like he's doing anything immoral to take a short break, right?

Of course, he still had to go to the "Radiant Splendor Festival," as it was his sworn brother's... no, his sworn sister's first novel signing event. As the older brother, he had to go and support her.

Furthermore, Xingqiu's book "Chenqiu's Sword Collection" can be considered, in a sense, an IP he created himself to fight against the shogunate. He was Xingqiu's first "editor in charge".

"Even though it's a collaborative work, readers will only remember the author! For us, the reward for all this is holding the published work in our hands and carefully reading through it—it's like watching a tree we planted grow into a useful tree. We strive for that moment of satisfaction and fulfillment!"

The words spoken by the divine child still echo in my ears.

As an editor, you should also experience this unique sense of satisfaction that belongs to an editor.

For the reasons mentioned above, Han Fulai changed into inconspicuous tourist clothes, mingled with the crowd of tourists, and entered the "Five Immortals Square".

The venue for the autograph session is easy to find—it's the place with the long queue.

The yamen, which originally belonged to the "Yuanguo Supervisory Office", is now decorated with various colorful flags and large posters, and even displays of popular character illustrations.

Han Fulai saw the promotional poster featuring the character designs of Ying and Shenzi.

Although in the novel they are a "useless general" and a "fox fairy priestess," the illustrator clearly knew who the prototypes for their works were. Both characters in the book have long bangs that cover their eyes, making it impossible to see their true faces, but their figures and clothing are almost identical to the prototypes, making them instantly recognizable.

In addition, he saw a "Miss Inugami" who looked very much like Goro, the general of Umijima, and was said to be named "Miss Hina"... He wondered if she was related to Goro in some way.

With character illustrations and promotional materials already available, it seems like developing cosplay wouldn't be impossible.

Perhaps he should suggest to the priestess that they set aside a plot of land in this "Five Songs Fairy Plaza" to build a convention center and hold a doujinshi (fan-made comics) exhibition, once a year during the summer and once during the winter festivals, and name it "Comic Market"...

Hmm, just thinking about it makes me feel very international.

Xingqiu's "The Record of Shenqiu Picking Up the Sword" was the main project promoted in this "Yachongtang" festival collaboration, and it received the largest display board - the giant display board erected on the roof of the "Yuanguo Supervisory Office".

The display board depicts a sharp sword, beside which are two lines of poetry written in bold handwriting: "Waves surge in the deep sea, shadows fly amidst the chaotic clouds beside the peaks; I stand alone in this turbid world, burning with righteous indignation and surging with hot blood!"

This world filled with poetry and swords is exactly the Jianghu (martial arts world) in Xingqiu's mind.

Han Fulai first went to the editor of "Yachongtang" to buy a copy of the new issue of "Chenqiu Shijianlu", and then he obediently lined up in the crowd to wait for Teacher Zhenyu to sign his autograph.

Teacher Zhenyu's popularity on Daoqi is now comparable to that of a superstar, with hundreds of readers ahead of Han Fulai.

With nothing else to do, Han Fulai casually flipped through the book "Chen Qiu's Sword-Picking Record". This reprinted "Chen Qiu's Sword-Picking Record" had added a lot of new content to the original, and Xing Qiu had also added a promotional book for "Wan Wen Ji Incident Book", which was based on him, to the appendix.

The male protagonist in the illustration, Han Fei, looks ten or even nine-tenths similar to him, while the female protagonist, Miss Zhenyu, is basically a long-haired version of Xingqiu.

And the "Cretaceous Teacher" who drew the illustrations is, of course, Abedo.

Han Fulai was flipping through a book when someone gently patted his shoulder.

He looked up and saw Man Ye, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Wan Ye was also surprised to see him here: "Mr. Han, are you also here for the book signing? Actually, you don't need to queue. You can just ask for a signed book from the back. I heard that Brother Xingqiu prepared a lot of signed books in advance for this book signing, and he has been complaining about his sore hands these days."

Han Fulai blinked: "Isn't it the same with Brother Wanye? If you ask Xingqiu for an autographed book, she...he wouldn't refuse to give it to you, would he?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Getting a signed copy is easy, but what they're really looking for is the atmosphere of the book signing event.

Wan Ye's face showed a hint of emotion: "To be honest... I wasn't used to being in a crowd before. I used to carry a wanted poster on my back and had to hide wherever I went. I never thought I could participate in a festival openly."

"This remote island is the same. This familiar port in front of us used to be deserted all day long, with only the officials in charge of surveying and managing the port guarding against uninvited guests."

"But now, it's much more lively here. Not only are there foreigners from other countries coming to Inazuma, but there's also been more frequent interaction between Umijima and this place."

Han Fulai nodded: "Yes, Inazuma is different now than he was in the past."

His feelings were probably even deeper than Manyo's, after all, Inazuma's current situation was something he had personally created.

Moreover, he participated in two major events that directly influenced the course of Inazuma's history.

In the battles of "Pure Land of One Heart" and "Great Exorcism of Divine Cherry Blossoms," no matter which battle Inazuma lost, he would never be where he is today.

“I think that perhaps each of us is like this country. Even if it takes different amounts of time, there will always be a day when we can put down the heavy burden we carry. And when you truly put it down, you can go with the wind.” Wan Ye’s eyes seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

Han Fulai was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously scratched his cheek.

When Manyo said this to him, it was probably not just a simple expression of emotion.

He knew that Wan Ye was always sensitive. Perhaps it was the fatigue that unconsciously showed on his face that Wan Ye noticed, which is why he kindly comforted him.

To be honest... he's been having a really tough time lately.

Indeed, "with great power comes great responsibility," and he has always shouldered many responsibilities—many of which have far exceeded his current capabilities.
