I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

"Something happened!" Oda Nobuhime lay on the low table, pouting her lips and humming softly.

If the other young men and close ministers around her saw that she had such a girlish side, they would be so shocked that their bodies would tremble once, twice, or even three times, and be eliminated!

But women are meant to please those they love. Your dream goddess has already unlocked countless emojis and new poses with her. Oda Nobuhime was torn. Such a strong man shouldn't be completely controllable. But she didn't want a loser who could be controlled—it was a paradox.

"You and that Kikyo..." In the end, Oda Nobuhime hesitated for a long time, looking at the impatient expression of the beautiful boy in front of her. She panicked first: "What's the relationship?"

"Oh, the relationship between superiors and subordinates." Beidou Xinwei finally understood what was going on. He was a straight man. But he wasn't completely clueless—so he had to be reckless at this moment! Which was more important, a towering tree or a forest?

Of course they are all important!

"But it feels good to be with Kikyo."

"...You're looking for trouble, aren't you? You...Okay, okay, okay, okay." Oda Nobuhime suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and waved her hand and said, "If that's the case, then let's not hide it! You...you guy...Kikyo, right? Here you go."

"? What do you mean give it to me? Kikyo is also a living person, right?" Beidou Xinwei frowned.

"Ah?" Oda Nobuhime didn't understand what the other party meant.

Fuck, what's the point of talking about human rights with a feudal ruling class? Is Kikyo even human? In the eyes of Oda Nobuhime, Kikyo is just a beautiful woman she met once. Her social status is essentially zero, and she can be taken and taken away at will. It's perfectly normal to give her directly to Hokuto Nobuyuki—why don't you just take it?

"Ah what? I know what you mean."

We are all adults... Well, although I am 14 years old now, there was no puberty in ancient times, and after childhood, you are an adult taxpayer.

"Kikyo is a good girl, and I like her quite a bit. But even though I like her, what I hate most is force—do you understand what I mean?"

"? I don't understand. What does that mean?"

That wise look, untainted by any wisdom, returned. It seemed he had entered into Oda Nobuhime's unknown territory, completely oblivious to her pretentiousness. Woman, just go for it. Isn't that normal?

"Whenever Kikyo really likes me, I'll let her say it herself. I don't need to impose rewards here and there. This applies to all women, not just Kikyo! ...Oh, except for cleaning the yard, that's part of my job."

"..." Oda Nobuhime was shocked by the words of the beautiful boy in front of her for three years, and her whole body fell into a state of petrification. Then she suddenly covered her stomach and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha, you... you... you've read too much The Tale of Genji, haven't you? Who do you think you are? Kaoru-kun? Genji? Haha..." Oda Nobuhime suddenly burst into laughter, clutching her stomach, and couldn't stop. It seemed that Oda Nobuhime wasn't very interested in The Tale of Genji.

This is very strange. The rebellious Oda Nobuhime was disdainful of the equally rebellious book "The Tale of Genji"; but the classic reading of the life of a "righteousness" person far away in Echigo was this book. It is really hard to understand.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What the hell are you laughing at!"

"Hey, I'm your lord, please respect me a little, okay? - Oh, but this guy is so cute. Oh, I almost forgot you're only fourteen. Well, I thought you were invincible and omnipotent - now it seems that's not the case. I was always afraid of you... Well, it seems that there is nothing to fear."

Betrayed by her retainers, betrayed by everyone. The girl, with zero sense of security, and her already violent mentality, now directly affected her concept of love:

"Don't you want this to be consensual? Okay, come here—hold me with all your strength! If you dare let go, I'll..." whispering softly in the other person's ear: "Kill you!"

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and I would like to share my thoughts on it.

Thank you all for your support so far, both over the past 13 years and over the past 20 days. Thank you very much.

Available tomorrow (20 minutes later)

Said to update five chapters first

Chapter 36: The Deification Movement - Zhang Jiao of the Warring States Period

The lowest point in Oda Nobuhime's life was probably when her father passed away, but that wasn't the lowest point. Life is full of ups and downs, and when you face a catastrophic event, you should understand three things: The good news is that even the worst will eventually pass; the bad news is that there will always be worse things waiting for you; and life is like this; a constant flow of bad things means you're alive.

Oda Nobuhime felt like the world had fallen on her with her father's death. She was deserted by her important ministers and friends, and her mother might have been her father's murderer! The Oda family was in imminent danger. Her relatives in the north had rebelled. How much did relatives cost per pound? In the south, her father's trusted generals were tempting foreign invasions, and life was about to end.

Then, a wild man she'd known for less than six months stepped forward to defend her from all-out attacks. He remained unfazed by the daggers and axes, and plunged headfirst into the enemy lines without dodging arrows. He was essentially the kind of character any eighteen-year-old woman would dream of—on horseback, he'd fight wild barbarians, and on foot, he'd write military documents. He knew women on the bed, and shoes off the bed!

He is both talented in literature and martial arts, and he is good-looking. He is simply perfect.

...The love storyline is a little off, but that's not a bad thing. He's so superstitious about "free love"—if you like someone, just go for it! What does "leveraging your status" mean? I'm a feudal lord. If I don't leverage my greatest advantage, do I have to disguise myself as an ordinary person and pretend to be ordinary to have an 80-episode romance with the girl I love?

Oda Nobuhime gave Hokuto Nobuyoshi a maid as a servant. Your original samurai hut is too small for you to live in, so I'll arrange a better one for you. Anyway, I've even arranged a room for you inside the palace... even for your rumored girlfriend. If you love him, you have to love everything about him.

Of course, this is not the end.

After the battle, in addition to the joy of victory, there is also the pain of injury.

Treating the wounded is always a major issue, but this time it's different—Beidou Xinwei himself is taking the lead. All the soldiers wounded by swords and spears, take antibiotics! Regardless of illness or no illness, take medicine if you're sick, and strengthen your body if you're healthy! Huh? Will this lead to drug resistance and serious consequences?

Alas, I, Beidou Xinwei, didn't come to Japan to create a better tomorrow. I came to rule and enjoy the good of today. As for what happens after I die? Who cares if there's a flood?

"Ah, Master Beidou..."

"Lord Beidou..."

In the wounded camp in Samurai Town, because this expedition was a victory, the ordinary farmers and soldiers received the necessary treatment. If it was a major defeat, no one would care for the wounded on the battlefield. The wounded who could run to the rear proved that they did not need to be cared for, as they were in good health and could escape.

But tetanus wasn't a fatal disease—the wounded soldiers, lying on their beds, looked at Beidou Xinwei as if they had seen an angel. They clasped their hands together, then knelt on their beds (which were actually tatami mats) as if praying to a god.

"Amitabha, Namo Amitabha." Buddhism is the local indigenous belief, so many soldiers who were old farmers a few days ago prayed madly.

This time, none of the wounded soldiers suffered from tetanus, not even a fever! Moreover, the miraculous medicine basically cured all the diseases, even the stubborn illnesses they had before joining the army were cured.

Eh? Is there free medical care when joining the military?

"Okay, don't kneel down for now." Suddenly, a gentle and gentle voice sounded. Then there was a sound of clapping. Who else could it be but Kikyo?

At this moment, she is still wearing her work uniform (shrine maiden uniform). In this Japan full of supernatural legends, this outfit is simply the most perfect persuasive tool - more persuasive than an old Chinese doctor.

"Everyone, get up." Seeing all the wounded soldiers kneeling before Beidou Xinwei who had just walked in, Kikyo clapped her hands and signaled everyone to stand up: "Do you still want your arrow wounds to heal? - Or do you want it to hurt more next time? Everyone, get up!"

Kikyo signaled everyone to stop kneeling.

"Oh, Kikyo—" Beidou Xinwei looked at Kikyo. He was looking for the latter: "Do you have time now? I..."

"I'm sorry, not at the moment. I need to check on the progress of everyone's injuries this morning, and in the afternoon, people from the castle town and outsiders will need to come to me for medicine."

Kikyo finally had time to come to Beidou Xinwei's side and asked in confusion, "Why do you have time to come to the wounded camp today? Um... do you have any new medicine for me?"

"... Kikyo, you don't have to do these things yourself."

This was the first and only retainer he had ever subjugated, one that could be added to his vassal list. He granted him a level 12 [Medical Skill], even though he only charged a tenth of his exp. Kikyo was like a saint, healing all manner of ailments.

To be more precise, Beidou Xinwei uses medicine that can be used to treat various diseases for 15 yuan. The level is similar to that of a pharmacy salesperson in the future, but Platycodon's identity is already well-known far and wide.

Everyone knows that there is a "holy shrine maiden" in the castle town of Furuno Castle who can cure all diseases and all illnesses.

Because of Beidou Xinwei's protection, the local doctors did not dare to say anything, and some even ran away to other castle towns.

"We have many ways to treat diseases. For example, let others collect patients' statements and then compile the information for me." Beidou Xinwei thought for a long time and whispered in Kikyo's ear: "I simply trust you to manage my medicine warehouse. I..."

"Avi, I can't trouble you with everything. And ordinary doctors also have to survive. I will identify common medical treatments such as colds and flu, and let them go to ordinary clinics for treatment. Ordinary doctors also have to survive--" You see, Kikyo's heart is a little too kind, and...

She was still so rigid and cold in her approach. She still looked like a beautiful woman made of ice, but in reality, she was a beautiful woman made of sand – lacking any flexibility.

"I only treat truly incurable and difficult diseases—and your medicine isn't infinite, is it?"

“…” No, it’s endless.

But if I die, and all of Japan relies on my medicine for treatment, then the moment I die, all of Japan will be trapped in a medical trap. The entire world will not be able to develop... Hey, who cares about the flood after I die?

"Kikyo, you can't say that. In short, don't overwork yourself—you can recruit a few people you trust as appropriate." Beidou Xinwei looked at the wounded soldiers lying on the beds around him, their hands folded, and asked, "What's wrong with these guys? Why are they talking nonsense?"

Chapter 37 Your Goddess, My Servant (Part 2)

"...Maybe it's because the treatment process is too mysterious?" Kikyo said hesitantly. "Actually, this is all thanks to the medicine, but some people are just afraid. They insisted that I pray for them, so... I prayed for them as well. These patients did recover afterwards, so everyone thinks...it might be my credit."

"Hahaha, of course it's Kikyo's credit," Beidou Xinwei affirmed before the crowd, seemingly intent on deifying her. He put his hands together and bowed to Kikyo, "If it weren't for Kikyo's blessing, how could I have achieved such a decisive victory? I've come here today to fulfill a vow. It's only because of your blessing that I was able to return from the battlefield alive and achieve such a great victory!"

Beidou Xinwei seemed to have thought of something.

There are truly... many things in this world that are hard to explain. I'm not here to teach science to the people of medieval Japan or to spread superstition.

The Emperor's story tells us that completely eradicating superstition in the distant universe is impossible. Since no one can do it, it's better to open it up than to block it—in the future, Oda Nobuhime will undoubtedly encounter various religious forces.

In fact, the religious power in Owari Province was very strong, which was also in line with the pattern of the Japanese Warring States Period.

"Ah... Avi, what are you talking about!" Seeing Beidou Xinwei bowing to her with his hands clasped together, a blush suddenly flashed across the face of the beautiful witch, and then she took a few deep breaths.

He regained his indifferent expression, but a hint of shyness lingered: "What is my heart like? It's like a maze a thousand miles deep, with no boatman to ferry me across. I can only ferry myself across, no one else can help me. Avi, your victory is your own. Worshiping gods and Buddhas can sow good seeds, but the good results are your own, and have nothing to do with me..."

"Yes, yes, I revealed the secret you blessed me with. This is really not right."

“……?!” Eh?

"Then I won't say much." Beidou Xinwei put down the large medicine bag on his body and said, "This is today's portion! I have refined it according to your instructions and the methods you taught me. Please keep it--"

"……and many more!"

Who should I believe?

Aside from a few high-ranking officials, most ordinary people, especially the ordinary, ignorant masses of this era, only witnessed a peerless, independent, and otherworldly shrine maiden mysteriously appearing in Kune Castle. Prescribing a cure isn't about fancy tricks. It's simply—where does it hurt, where does it hurt? Okay, take this medicine.

Even long-standing ailments could be cured, and even a dying illness could make you sit up in shock. This method of curing illnesses instantly was considered miraculous in medieval Japan, and it shocked people everywhere. Many people traveled from other places to have this mysterious shrine maiden heal them.

Witchcraft and medicine are inseparable, not to mention that the one who heals the disease is a witch. Everyone believes that this witch has mysterious powers - so, according to legend!

"Hey, is this true or false?" A wounded soldier looked at another wounded soldier with a bandaged arm and asked in confusion: "Does Lord Kikyo really know... magic?"

"Are you stupid?" the wounded soldier with his arm bandaged said, "I was hit by a knife that hit my bone. I've fought in many battles, and many people died in this way. In the end, they all died of suppuration. Lord Kikyo used a little trick to keep me alive. When the pain was the worst, he just put half a pill (painkiller) in my mouth and it made me feel much better. How could such an ability to transform decay into something magical be just a simple medicine?"

"Right, right, right." A low-ranking warrior no longer cared about their status; they were all patients lying in bed receiving treatment. The low-ranking warrior sat up and said, "You don't know, do you? I am in Lord Beidou's reserve force! His Highness Beidou is a top-notch general on the battlefield. Arrows hit him on the battlefield, and he didn't feel any discomfort! What does this mean? It means that he is blessed by the gods and Buddhas!"

"You don't know, do you?" A large portion of the rumors were fabricated by people who were just trying to show off their prowess. Everyone has a penchant for making up stories. A middle-aged warrior whispered, "I've met Lord Beidou's father (this world is imaginary, doesn't exist, it's just a memory gifted by the system). Although my memory is hazy, I remember that Lord Beidou's father was a very ordinary man, only five feet (one and a half meters) tall. How could he have given birth to such a majestic man?"

"Why?" Everyone looked incredulous.

"Because of Lord Kikyo! Lord Kikyo cast 21 magical arts on Lord Beidou Xinwei, which made Lord Beidou Xinwei's height increase dramatically, and he became immune to all poisons and invulnerable to swords and spears! -"

"Oh?!" The fools of the Middle Ages suddenly became Spartans. So that's how it is! Then everything makes sense!

"You don't know, do you? Lady Kikyo has always said that she was an orphan adopted by a grandmother named Tsuiko. The truth is that only I know, so please don't tell anyone else."

One of Oda Nobuhime's personal guards launched into a female-oriented gossip, appearing smug and smug as she began to spin a story with a woman's typical mentality: "Tsuyoko isn't some old woman; she's a previous shrine maiden. She's the guardian of Gensokyo. To protect this world from demons, she sealed herself and the demons within the Four Souls Jade."

This Four Souls Jade is more than just "Lucky Soul," "Harmony Soul," "Wild Soul," or "Odd Soul." It possesses two forms: good and evil. In the hands of those with evil hearts, it becomes contaminated, transforming into a "curved spirit." In the hands of those with pure hearts, it can be purified, transforming into a "straight spirit." Lady Kikyo obtained the Four Souls Jade from a previous miko and used it to refine a miraculous elixir that healed us all. Do you know what this represents? It represents Lady Kikyo's purity and kindness!

"Oh!——" Everyone showed an expression of understanding——

See what I said? Actually, we also know that Lady Kikyo is extraordinary, and what you're saying is exactly what we thought! Okay, we agree with this statement!

It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but if a rumor wants to be spread with details, or even fascinating, it really needs to be spread by a wise person!

How did myths originate? — See, everyone, that's how they were born. Some were considered excellent, but still not quite good enough, so they took the original version and created a new fanfiction—good, the differences between sects are now apparent. But so far, we're still in the primitive religious stage, in the early stages of the deification movement. You copy me, I copy you, striving to make the Kikyo deification even more perfect.

Chapter 38: The New Widow Maid (Part 3)

The thriving deification movement is gaining acclaim! Compared to Beidou Xinwei, who always have profit-oriented and self-considered strategies in everything they do, the person involved, Kikyo, seems more indifferent.

Because she doesn't understand anything.

She didn't understand the terrifying nature of this power, nor did she understand the terrifying power this deification movement could create. Perhaps because the village girl's knowledge base was ultimately not as deep as that of the samurai masters, the end result was that she had no idea she had communicated across time and space with a colleague who lived 1,400 years ago.

This colleague was called Zhang Jue.

Cure all ailments, a god-like deity, universal adoration—these combined buffs are enough to drive those with a liking for them mad with envy. Give me a ton of penicillin space, and I could return to the Three Kingdoms and establish a peaceful society. Don't underestimate the mere fifteen yuan; most oral medications for common ailments cost less than fifteen yuan for a full course of treatment (with a three-day cooldown).

"...What's wrong with everyone?" Kikyo stared blankly at everyone in front of her who were enthusiastically discussing some topics that she didn't understand at all.

This kind of behavior of creating secondary works in front of the original work directly confuses the original work.

"Is this collective hysteria?"

"No, or maybe it is." Beidou Xinwei observed the imagination of the people and felt that while humans could not create things they had never seen, they could create things they had seen without any logic. Look, now all sorts of rumors have appeared without my involvement at all, even I find them miraculous. "They're just the talk of the common people. Why bother with them? Come on, are we done with today's wounded soldiers?"

"It's basically over." Kikyo waved her hand, signaling the other nurses, doctors, and other helpers to continue their work. She had completed her day's workload here: "Huh... I have to go again this afternoon..."

"There's no need to rush—you can find someone you know to help you. I told you from the beginning, there's no need to do everything yourself." Beidou Xinwei looked at the situation and felt a little distressed. He told the silly girl in front of him, "You have to learn to slack off!"

"Mo Yu'er?" How many more storms can be endured, and spring has quickly returned. I always worry about the flowers blooming too early in the new spring, not to mention the countless fallen petals? Spring, please stay...

"It's just laziness. Working is for the boss, so what's the point of doing well?" Beidou Xinwei taught his subordinates to learn to be lazy. "Do you have anyone you want to hire officially? Well, I've seen a lot of people here. Is there anyone you like?"

"……me……"

Suddenly, the usually taciturn girl blushed. Then she gently touched her white witch robe with both hands.

This age, this age, this expression - the last time I saw this age expression was because the good student really forgot to bring homework.

"I have a younger sister at home, Fengzi. Although she's not my biological sister, I've been supporting her all these years. Although... although I entrusted her to the villagers and have been writing letters asking them to take good care of her. But... I still hope she can come... to my place and help me out."

In this era, one more person means one more food ration. Food in this era is completely different from that of later, peaceful times. In later times, food was merely the most easily met basic need. Then there were the demands of education, healthcare, housing, retirement, and even higher-end consumption. In this era, however, it was all you needed to survive! Eating enough meant you could get married, eating more meant you could have children, and eating even more meant you could have children! You were a successful person!

Kikyo felt that she was in a situation where she needed food but had no way to eat, so she worked hard in the hope of repaying some favors and debts. Although she missed her very much, she did not dare to ask her little sister to come to her side.
