Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

After hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka immediately understood the subtlety of it: "In other words, if I train at home for a day, Mr. Fanyu will also gain some of the training effects based on the so-called connection level?"

Fan Yu nodded.

"This..." Kamisato Ayaka was shocked.

She didn't know yet that Fan Yu could also obtain the function of special qualities, but just this one thing that Fan Yu told her was enough to shock Kamisato Ayaka.

The use of power similar to that of rules is probably only possessed by the General in the entire Inazuma Kingdom.

[But why would this power seek out me and the other person?] — Kamisato Ayaka thought to herself.

Because Fan Yu had never told her his origin, she subconsciously regarded Fan Yu as a lucky person like herself.

"To sum up, from this moment on, the fate between you and me has been entangled together." Fan Yu said with a smile.

Kamisato Ayaka came back to her senses from a trance, with a look of bewilderment on her face.

Being kidnapped from home by this person was a helpless act...

I didn't expect that I would have contact with him now.

but……

It goes back to what Fan Yu explained before.

Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously, "Mr. Fanyu, you mentioned before that this connection can be deepened?"

48 Spiritual and Physical Connections

Fan Yu: "Of course."

"What is that so-called method..." Kamisato Ayaka asked seriously.

She could clearly feel the physical changes brought about by the connection. If this tangible growth could continue, it would likely change her life forever.

She was weaker than men in terms of strength, and she wasn't a natural fighter. But if she could acquire a strong physique, coupled with her status as the holder of the Eye of God, she might be able to help others more in the community.

Fan Yu explained frankly, "There are only two ways to improve the level of our connection. One is spiritual. When our thoughts and wills gradually resonate over time, we can deepen our connection."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded, finding this explanation quite reasonable. Deepening the connection required resonance. Otherwise, forcing a connection would be like a marriage within a large family.

"Is there another way?" Kamisato Ayaka continued to ask.

Fan Yu said tactfully, "The remaining one is a physical connection."

Kamisato Ayaka's small face was filled with curiosity: "?"

Fan Yu roughly explained the meaning of the physical relationship between men and women: "Just like Inazuma's 'Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning: Forging', the man is the sword and the woman is the scabbard..."

Before he could finish, Kamisato Ayaka's face had already begun to blush. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, well protected by her brother, her mother had still mentioned this matter before she died.

The so-called physical connection is something that can only be done between couples?!

She felt that the temperature of her face was even hotter than a fever normally. She had unknowingly asked such an embarrassing question.

Fan Yu exhaled: "Anyway, that's what happened."

"Hmm..." Kamisato Ayaka nodded softly. She silently took a few steps back, trying to move away from Fan Yu so that she could calm down and digest the shock of the events Fan Yu mentioned.

Connections can get stronger!

And as the level deepens, the feedback you may get will be greater.

The only problem is that the method of upgrading the connection level is not so user-friendly.

Kamisato Ayaka naturally understood that neither spiritual resonance nor physical resonance was easy to achieve. The former required someone who could understand her and had similar goals. The latter required transcending marriage and finding someone to accompany her.

Either way, it's very difficult.

But when thinking about this, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but think of Kujo Sara before.

The other party is a general of Tianling Fengxing, who should be loyal to the general, but he appears next to Fan Yu, who was originally a suspect. Is it this kind of [connection] that forces the two to be together? Even thinking deeper, is the connection between them spiritual or... physical?

As her thoughts wandered, Kamisato Ayaka's mind was filled with some embarrassing images. She quickly activated the power of the Eye of God, allowing frost to form on her face and heart, making her unhealthy thoughts disappear.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and regained her composure.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Kamisato Ayaka admitted frankly that she was shaken after hearing the story just now.

Fan Yu waved his hand: "It's okay."

He admired the mentality of this young lady. In the past, when he met women who talked about [connection], most of them either rushed up to him directly or were even bolder than him in their words. There were even some connectors who simply regarded him as a tool for exploitation.

Therefore, after meeting those connectors, it is a rare thing to see a reserved girl like Kamisato Ayaka.

"Should we leave here next? Or should we wait for the general of Tenryo Bugyo?" Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously.

She couldn't help but glance around. The miasma had dissipated, and the sacred cherry blossoms stood there, scattering petals, making everything peaceful and tranquil. However, the traces of the battle still remained.

Most of them were gullies left by the battles between Fan Yu and monsters, and charred marks left by lightning.

Some of it was her frost, the frozen singing grass was still covered with white frost...

Kamisato Ayaka recalled her previous battle with Luo Wuzhe. She was almost killed by the opponent with one sword. The despair of facing death but being unable to do anything is still a lingering fear in Kamisato Ayaka's heart.

Fortunately, after the war, overcoming this fear brought about a new possibility.

[Connection] - If this kind of feedback continues, perhaps she will gradually become stronger. No, simply based on this connection, the other party will become a trustworthy like-minded person.

"No need to wait, our Miss Tengu has arrived." Fan Yu said.

Kamisato Ayaka was startled: "Huh?"

Fan Yu pointed above his head. On top of the fireworks scattered from the several branches of the divine cherry blossoms, there appeared a black winged figure.

Under the purple light of thunder, the dark wings looked somewhat ominous.

Kujo Sara, wearing the insignia of Tenryo Bugyo, jumped down from a high altitude and landed steadily in front of Fanyu and Kamisato Ayaka.

Her golden eyes fixed on the two men, but quickly scanned the surrounding scene. Clearly, a great battle had taken place, and it was already over. Hanasari, the miko they had encountered outside the cave and who had requested they purify the sacred cherry blossoms of their defilement, had vanished.

But the roots of the sacred cherry tree, which originally contained the strange and uncomfortable miasma, had completely dissipated.

Although he didn't know why Kamisato Ayaka was staring at him strangely, Kujo Sara still asked seriously, "Am I a step too late in calling for help?"

Fan Yu smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's a two-step process. You go to Mingshen Taisha, and we'll go directly to the base of the sacred cherry tree. If we can solve it on our own, that's even better. If we can't, we have you as a backup rescuer. Isn't that great?"

Kujo Sara snorted, "This is not going to make me happy."

She hurried to Narujin Taisha Shrine to act as a lobbyist, and then hurriedly brought people here, as time was very tight.

But when it was all over, the situation here was over. She had to admit that it made her feel completely relaxed, and she felt that everything she had done before was wasted.

"Have the reinforcements you brought arrived?" Fan Yu asked curiously.

Kujo Sara finally calmed down and let out a breath, "Those who have arrived include Gohyakuzo, who was previously guarding the forest, and the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine! Look, they're right there..."

49 The Charm and Divinity of Yae Miyaji

Following the direction of Kujo Sara's gaze, Fan Yu saw two figures appear above Shenying.

There were two silhouettes, one tall and one short. The most conspicuous one was the silhouette of a short raccoon cat. Its face had bruises from being beaten, its face was swollen and enlarged, and there were tears in the corners of its eyes.

The other is a shrine maiden dressed in white, crimson, and light pink robes. Her upper body is a white furisode kimono with wide, light cuffs, and the edges are embroidered with golden lightning patterns and cherry blossom patterns, symbolizing Inazuma.

Around her waist, there was a girdle with a crimson bow, from which hung two long ribbons, the ends of which were embroidered with the triple thunder pattern. That pattern, according to some knowledge that Kujo Sara had previously told her, represented the family crest of the Thunder General.

In addition to these, this shrine maiden also has a shimenawa rope and a purple amulet hanging around her waist, representing her original identity as a member of the Narukami Taisha Shrine.

She walked towards Fan Yu step by step, her steps light and graceful, and the kimono skirt and pants with golden embroidery on the pleats swayed gently as she walked.

When she landed less than ten meters away from Fan Yu, Fan Yu also saw the other person's specific appearance.

She has long, soft, gradient cherry blossom pink hair, with pink 'fox ears' adorning both sides of her head. Her pink bangs naturally fall to the sides, and the right side is tied into many thin braids with a red knot.

Her facial features are very delicate, her eyes are slender and charming, her pupils are pink-purple, and the tails of her eyes are dotted with a touch of red eyeshadow, which matches the faint smile on her face and a hint of laziness.

The moment he saw this woman, an image of a 'slutty vixen' emerged in Fan Yu's mind.

But the other person's temperament and clothing represent more than just these. The expression in her eyes has the cunning of a fox, and there is a hint of calm majesty in her laziness.

Compared with the shrine maiden costume she wears, it gives people a completely opposite temperament of charm and holiness.

"Finally, a heavyweight connection target has arrived." This was Fan Yu's first thought upon seeing the other party.

"Hey, we meet again. Human~!" Gobain, with a bruised face and nose, greeted Fanyu miserably.

It stands next to Yae Shinko, looking like a supporting mascot.

Fan Yu smiled and nodded in response to the other party's greeting, but his eyes remained on the face of the arriving great witch.

Her identity has been introduced by Kujo Sara - Yae Goddess.

But according to the information we know, the other party is still the chief priestess (chief priestess) of Narukami Taisha Shrine and a descendant of the Hakuchen bloodline.

"Oh no, it seems we are a step late. The Great Purification of the Divine Sakura has been completed!" Yae Shinto looked around the field and finally stopped in front of the roots of the Divine Sakura tree at the center.

Scattered cherry blossoms and branches growing from huge tree roots.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The important thing is that she can no longer feel the sealed miasma absorbed by the divine cherry.

As one of the witnesses present, Kamisato Ayaka hummed a little nervously when she saw Yae Shinko, "Yes, with Miss Hanasari's reminder, Lord Fanyu eliminated the miasma here."

"Hana Sanri?" Yae Shinko paused.

Kujo Sara explained, "That's the masked dancer under the cherry tree I just mentioned."

"Wow...it was Hanasari who helped you~!" Yaesugami seemed to have thought of something and smiled subtly.

Her words confused Kamisato Ayaka and Kujo Sara: "Prince's Master, do you know?"

"The fox-masked shrine maiden. After the crustal movement near Konda Village, some villagers came to Narukami Taisha Shrine for refuge. Some people seemed to say that they saw a ghost. But it is very strange that a ghost can appear under the nose of Narukami Taisha Shrine." Yaesugami said with interest.

She had seen and heard many shrine maidens wearing fox masks.

But that is completely different from this.

Do not……

It's more like hundreds of years later, only a few old monsters still know this ancient sealing ritual. This makes Yaejinko doubt some of his former acquaintances.

Everyone could hear the sarcasm in the tone of the Eightfold Son of God.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Fan Yu asked directly: "Do you know?"

Yaejinko hummed, "That miko isn't registered with the shrine, but she knows so much and guided you all to arrange the Shinzakura Purification Ceremony, so she's not just some wandering ghost."

She already had a target in mind.

The only person left was the one who had made a bet with her hundreds of years ago, and had thus ceded the position of Chief Priest to her (Konjisai-no-miya). Although Yaejinko couldn't directly confirm whether the other person was the spirit of that person, or a privately entrusted agent, or a remnant of consciousness, she couldn't say for sure.

Anyway, for the fox clan, it is not surprising to leave some means behind after death.

"Okay, let's not talk about these irrelevant things." Yaejinko temporarily changed the subject and cast his gaze towards the roots of the sacred cherry tree in front of him: "The pollution of the sacred cherry is at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain. Originally, this should have been the task of me, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha, to cleanse it, but it was completed by you little guys..."

This is not a lie.

Before the Konda Village incident, Narukami Taisha Shrine had already planned to hold the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura, but the impact of crustal movement delayed the process.

What was even more unexpected was that the purification was completed in just a short while.

Kamisato Ayaka's face looked a little unnatural: "No, this was basically done by Master Fanyu alone."

"Wow, are they all heroes who made it all on their own?" Yae Shenzi followed Kamisato Ayaka's words, and his gaze gradually shifted from Shen Ying to Fan Yu's face: "Then how can we repay this kindness?"

She stared at the golden-eyed human man in front of her, secretly surprised.

Whether it was the opponent's attire or the fact that most of the foreign enemies in Inazuma's territory had already been defeated by the 'Shadow', Inazuma's soil was no longer capable of challenging the Three Magistrates and the 'Thunder General' who was above them all.

This is especially true after the Eye Hunting Order was issued.

Of all the things Yaejinko had seen and heard, the only one she could barely look up to was the warrior who had challenged the emperor to a duel outside the castle tower not long ago. However, it was only for a moment before the other warrior lost the duel before the emperor and was executed by the Kage.

and so……

In Inazuma, you can also see a pair of people who not only did not succumb to "eternity", but even looked at her whole body unscrupulously...

Yae Shinko was really curious.

50 "I'm just a witch who prays for people"

[If you have to repay, you might as well repay it yourself...]

Fan Yu didn't say this directly. Although the Yae Miyaji in front of him gave him the impression that he should be a very powerful monster, and his characteristics after the connection might be better than those of Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayaka.

But he knew that the two sides were not yet familiar with each other to that extent.
