Lingyue Fairy once suspected that Xia Yan might have given her some strange medicine or used some special sorcery.
Seeing the resentful look in Lingyue Xianji's eyes, Xia Yan chuckled twice: "Don't you want to stay by my side?"
"Hmph, how boring! Do you think I'm the kind of clingy woman who only knows how to depend on men?"
"But—, I want to stay with Lingyue-chan~ I've been thinking about you every single day these past few days apart~"
Hearing Xia Yan's sweet words, Ling Yue Xian Ji fell silent.
Although he suggested that Xia Yan return to Okusanyama first, it was a rational decision made after recognizing reality and knowing that he absolutely could not withstand the pressure with his own combat strength.
If you ask her if she wants to stay by Xia Yan's side, she will naturally say yes.
I miss it terribly.
She wanted to be with Xia Yan every single moment.
So when Xia Yan offered to take her to Okusanyama, she agreed without hesitation.
But my body can't take it!
When we got married, at least there was a matchmaker god who could help share some of the pressure.
Having eaten dumplings with Xia Yan alone for two meals now brought back the terror of being dominated by him on the two nights before the three-day ceremony.
I have the will to kill the traitors, but I am powerless to reverse the situation...
Lingyue Fairy was caught in a dilemma.
Let Xia Yan stay; his body can't take it.
Even though I don't want him to stay, I still secretly wish he would.
Seeing the other person's hesitation, Xia Yan smiled slightly and offered a suggestion.
"How about I bring Enmusubi, Ubume, and Itsumade over as well?"
"..." Lingyue Fairy remained silent, but she was somewhat tempted.
Seeing this, Xia Yan seized the opportunity and said, "You haven't seen the Guhuoniao and Itsumade yet, so let's take them over for you to see, which will make it easier for you to manage them."
"Hmph, since you've put it that way, then as your legal wife, I naturally have to take a look at them one by one!"
Seeing that Xia Yan had offered a way out, Lingyue Fairy, who was already tempted, snorted and quickly agreed, turning her head away.
Chapter 322 A Special Welcome Ceremony
Although Xia Yan couldn't manifest an entire building, he could easily carry a few people.
Moreover, with the "ghostly entanglement" attached to Fairy Lingyue as a positioning tool, even if the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top is constantly moving, there is no need to worry about losing the positioning point.
It took half a day to teach the children that the Guhuoniao had taken in how to clear the land.
Xia Yan assigned them the task of cultivating the land, and arranged for some clever monsters to cooperate in the reclamation, with Itsumade's daughter, Kozen, leading the other members of the same clan to supervise.
It's not that he can't afford to support them; in fact, if Xia Yan were to do it himself, it would be a simple matter of lifting a finger.
Moreover, the effect is several times better than that of these children and monsters.
However, as a lord, he can't do everything himself and let his subordinates reap the rewards; that doesn't make sense.
To give the children the energy to work, he also taught them a simplified basic breathing technique.
Although it is a simplified basic version, once cultivated to the highest level, it is enough for them to gain a physique that can directly confront demons. However, it does not develop various attributes and removes the effect of unlocking the markings later on.
As for the full version,
They are all unrelated children, adopted by the authorities, so there's no need for the authorities to teach them.
The breathing techniques that Xia Yan has mastered are no longer the rudimentary techniques used in Demon Slayer that involve strengthening the body through natural energy.
It is a product of a series of improvements and fusions, combining Demon Slayer Breathing Technique, Ripple Breathing Technique, Sage Mode and Chakra Refining Technique from Naruto, along with some techniques for using demonic power.
If it were to spread, it could be described as a cultivation method that is completely different from, and even surpasses, Yin-Yang techniques.
Due to the laws of this world, unlike the Demon Slayer world, humans in this world can also use spiritual power.
In other words, when breathing techniques are applied to this world, they can actually deal elemental damage, rather than just being a simple visual effect!
Strengthen your physique, extend your lifespan, change your constitution, and ultimately become a "sage" who can maintain the immortal mode forever.
In some low-magic worlds with natural energy, this could definitely be considered a cultivation technique.
Of course, if any of these children become shrine maidens in the future, Natsuhiko will still teach them the complete breathing technique.
After all, the shrine maiden is the woman of the gods, so we should take good care of our own people.
After arranging the subsequent development path for AFK farming, Xia Yan left two Black Ghosts to guard the base to prevent it from being raided, and then returned to the Cloud Palace with Enmusubi, Guhuoniao, and Izanagi.
……
"Ha, he actually used the excuse of forming a hundred demons to gather women for himself. No wonder he's a dissolute and frivolous scumbag, Nurarihyon."
Dressed in her finery, Lingyue Fairy Ji spoke with an air of composure, using her distinctive tone to mock Xia Yan.
Although she already knew that the other two demons Xia Yan had taken in were also beautiful women, Lingyue Fairy could not help but feel a little unhappy when she actually saw three beautiful and distinctive female demons standing in front of her.
However, this is the norm in this era, and she is the only one who can be called Xia Yan's wife.
So she only made a couple of sarcastic remarks before regaining her composure.
"Oh my~, Lingyue-chan looks cute when she's jealous~" Xia Yan walked over with a grin and pulled Lingyue Fairy into his arms.
"Hmph! How could I be jealous over such a trivial matter? You think I'm... umm... what are you going to do!?"
Lingyue Fairy was only halfway through her sentence when she exclaimed in surprise.
As she spoke, her vital organs were already in Xia Yan's hands.
"Since it's our first meeting, we should get to know each other properly. That's why I'm going to introduce myself to you in a frank and open manner..."
"Wait...wait a minute, wait...um...ha..."
A melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out.
In order to preserve her dignity as the principal wife in front of her three mistresses—Enmusubi, Ubume, and Itsumade—Lingyue Xianji, though her eyes were filled with desire, clenched her teeth and tried her best not to make a sound.
The idea of stopping it was thus swallowed back.
The three people watching from the sidelines, though they had all seen it before, still blushed with embarrassment and were somewhat at a loss.
Prompted by Xia Yan's glances, he reluctantly joined the welcome party.
In a daze, the flying Cloud Palace seemed to show signs of slight shaking, which continued until midnight before stopping.
After a thorough and detailed exchange, the four comrades-in-arms gained a good understanding of each other and forged a close revolutionary friendship.
The relocation is still underway.
Although they threw a party together on their first meeting, Xia Yan didn't continue throwing parties in order to ensure the best experience later on. Instead, they always went in pairs while the other two rested.
The specific arrangement was that Lingyue Xianji would work overtime like crazy, playing duo queue with different teammates every night, while the other three would take turns, working one day and resting two.
After all, as the legal wife, she naturally deserves special treatment.
Moreover, Xia Yan was truly captivated by her special physique and the special passage privileges that were agreed upon exclusively for her.
This also allowed Lingyue Fairy to gain a deeper understanding of Guhuoniao and Itsumade.
As a result, Lingyue Fairy would tremble involuntarily whenever she saw Xia Yan, and even her arrogant and sharp-tongued traits seemed to have improved.
After twelve days of unbridled debauchery, on the morning of the thirteenth day, the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top finally flew over Mount Aosan.
The monsters and children on the mountain were all terrified when they saw this, and they all hid behind the black ghost.
However, they all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xia Yan and his group flying down.
The shrine of Okusan Natsuhiko Shrine welcomed its third name to be enshrined, and at the same time, a pair of majestic canine deity statues were added to both sides of the approach.
As soon as Lingyue Fairy arrived at Aoshan, she couldn't wait to take over a series of messy tasks such as production and construction.
He personally handles everything, big or small, and is constantly busy, staying out all night, as if he's running away from something.
This continued for three days.
To prevent her from overworking herself and ruining her health, Xia Yan could only visit her in the evening to offer his condolences.
The next day, Lingyue Xianji slept all morning and then resumed her normal work routine.
Chapter 323 Visitors from Okusanyama
It has been a month since Fairy Lingyue arrived at Mount Aosan.
Time has quietly slipped into early winter. Although it hasn't snowed yet, frost has already begun to form.
The shrine now houses some facilities and buildings related to production, and there are many more idle fields around it that have been reclaimed and tilled, but no planting has been done there due to the climate.
They were simply fertilized and are waiting to be sown in the spring.
Winter food supplies have been prepared, and the idle monsters continue to frolic in the mountains, while the children, with nothing to do, learn the work and functions of the shrine's priests from the spirit of the matchmaking.
Although Enmusubi has a simple and honest personality and seems unreliable, he is still a legitimate deity.
The training of clergy is quite professional.
Although there are no formal clergy yet, quite a few shrine maidens have already been trained.
These roles are played by the Itsumades, who have already taken human form. They walk around the shrine every day in their red and white shrine maiden outfits, adding a unique touch to the shrine.
Other miscellaneous tasks were handled by the dog demons brought by Fairy Lingyue.
Although it is not yet sufficient to meet all the basic needs of a shrine, as a large family, it has completely gotten on the right track and is no longer like a month ago, when everything depended on Xia Yan to do it all – miracles would happen with great effort.
It was a scene brimming with life.
At the same time, a girl carrying a book basket arrived at the Carp Pond at the foot of Mount Okusan.
He then leaned on his knees, panting heavily, with beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, indicating that he had been on a long journey.
"The Natsuhiko Shrine in Okusan..."
"How magnificent! It's dozens of times bigger than the shrine next to the village! Such a huge and ornate shrine has inexplicably sprung up in the mountains; there must be some amazing story behind it! Hehe..."
Looking at the magnificent and imposing stone torii gate and the orderly steps leading up the mountain, the girl's face lit up with a bright smile.
