Volume 47 Inuyasha (Part ): Chapter Chapter Let me see (wrong)!
"…Yuzojin?"
Yunhe, who was cooking with ashes in the kitchen, heard Kikyo's call, and immediately lifted the curtain and stuck his head out. He was surprised to see Yuzhuanjin standing at the door.
"You guys, is it necessary to be so surprised?"
Seeing this, Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ow, ow!"
At the same time, three fox cubs, two white and one gray, rushed out from the kitchen one after another, and kept circling around Yuzhuanjin's feet, obviously wanting to get intimate with him.
"Hey, little guys~ I've been away from home these days. Have you been good and obedient?" Yu Zhuanjin leaned down and gently poked the foreheads of the little foxes.
"They are totally disobedient. They won't let me hold them while sleeping in the dark."
Kikyo immediately raised her hands to complain to Yuzhongjin.
"Is that so? That's too bad. In that case, how about letting me, your sister, hold little Kikyo in my arms while she sleeps at night?" Yuzhongjin gently rubbed Kikyo's head.
"Oh~ No way! I'm not a child, Sister Miko, why are you acting like a mother? Thinking about holding me to sleep all day long?"
Kikyo pouted, always feeling that Yuzhongjin and Yunhe had the same "bad intentions" towards her.
"But Huihui and the others just lie next to me. They are really embarrassing little guys~"
In response to this, Yuzhong Jin said something intentionally or unintentionally.
"Actually, it's not impossible. Since you just came back today..."
Kikyo's tone suddenly became much weaker.
……
On the other side, Yun He noticed that the spiritual energy emanating from Yu Zhuanjin was even stronger than before he left, so he quickly walked forward, put his hands on the latter's shoulders and kept rubbing them downwards, and then asked in surprise: "How could this be? It's only been one day, and the spiritual energy in your body has increased by 30%. This is more than the effect of me taking care of you for more than half a month. Although my senior brother is powerful, he should not be able to do this. Yu Zhuanjin, tell me the truth, have you encountered any danger recently? Are you injured?"
To be honest, it was not that Yunhe was overthinking, but Yuzhuanjin's situation did not allow her to not think about it, because she knew very well that it would be impossible to achieve such a big improvement through normal means.
Only external forces...
The most obvious external force is the tension or fear caused when one's life is threatened, so it makes sense that there would be a huge increase in spiritual power, which is why Yun He is so worried.
Improvement of spiritual power?
Yu Zhuanjin immediately remembered that she had just installed the "Fire Spirit" soul that had the effect of increasing the mana limit last night, but she didn't expect that Yunhe would sense it.
"Really? I haven't seen you for just one day, and you've already encountered something like this. Did my senior brother do something fancy for you?"
At this point, Yun He inexplicably recalled the past when she was still training at the shrine, so she continued: "I know! It must be the custom that the new disciples must first be taken to exterminate the mid-level monsters and it is said to be for the purpose of training their character. I said at the beginning that this was not good. Although we have taken protective measures in advance, what should we do if an accident occurs..."
Yunhe looked indignant and empathetic, and it was obvious that he was also a victim of that custom.
Mid-level monsters are more ferocious than lower-level monsters who have just entered the monster class. Each of them has at least fifty years of cultivation and is the backbone of the monster world. They all have one thing in common, which is that they have transformed. Although they have some flaws and are not perfect, they have all broken free from the constraints of the monster body.
So it was used as a teaching material for novices.
Because for the shrine maidens or priests who can enter the Hikawa Shrine, their future opponents will not be easily dealt with by ordinary monsters or lower-level monsters.
Strong people attract each other.
……
Eh~ So there is such a custom?
Yuzhong Jin was stunned when she heard this. Although she went to the Hikawa Shrine this time, as the instructor specially recommended by Yunhe, Qinghe Priest, she left early due to busy affairs. Therefore, strictly speaking, her training has not yet begun. Fortunately, it has not started yet...
After all, Yuzhongjin didn't think that she, a half-baked miko, had enough ability to defeat a mid-level monster, but then she waved her hand quickly. The problem now didn't seem to be this, but Yunhe had put his hand on her collar! Obviously he wanted to pull her clothes open and carefully check the non-existent wounds on her body.
"Quickly, let me be healthy!"
For some reason, Yunhe's anxious words made Yu Zhuanjin feel weird, as if some DNA in his body was messed up.
"No, no, no, Yunhe, calm down. Things are not what you think."
Mizutsu explained as best as he could.
"Could it be that those newcomers who are in the same period as you are acting like seniors and showing off to you just because they came a few months earlier than you?"
After that, Yunhe straightened his expression and said, "I'm sorry, Yuzhongjin, I didn't consider so many things when I introduced you to the shrine before. It seems that I need to take some time to go back and educate those conceited guys."
"No, that's not the case~" This kind of pretentious and face-slapping plot usually only happens in urban cool novels,
Yuzhongjin thought for a moment. Everyone she met at the Hikawa Shrine was very friendly. Not to mention Suyue and Xizhao, the elderly priestess in the library was also very friendly, so she said, "I also met two very interesting peers at the shrine. As for the spiritual power issue, it's because I made a breakthrough after practicing with you the day before yesterday, and the effect is only now showing up."
After much persuasion, Yu Zhuanjin finally managed to calm Yunhe down. Yunhe stared into her eyes, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "That's good~"
In addition to worrying about Ootenzu itself, what if the original intention of improving the relationship between the two shrines ended up becoming the fuse for a conflict? That would be the end of it.
Fortunately, neither of these two things happened.
"I thought you would stay at the shrine for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to come back today. I didn't even prepare so many ingredients and a pair of chopsticks."
Yunhe said it as if he was complaining but it was actually joking.
"It's okay. I ate at the shrine at noon today."
Yu Zhuanjin immediately waved his hands to show that he didn't care.
"How can that be possible? Wait a moment, I'll ask Yanhun to light the fire and make one more batch."
"In that case, let me help as well."
"…That's great! We can eat the food cooked by the miko sister again." When Yunhe and Yuzhongjin were talking, only Kikyo was cheering.
"Ouch~"
The three little foxes except Fu Fu were also excited.
but……
"…I always feel like you guys have gained weight."
Yu Zhuanjin bent down and picked up Huihui, then compared it with Fufu on the right. In the past, these four young foxes ate the same food, so their sizes and weights were almost the same, but now...
Yuzhongjin's figure tilted to the left.
"How much did you eat while I was away?" Yu Zhuanjin couldn't help but ask.
"Ouch!" Huihui immediately shook his head violently.
"... Kikyo? You tell me."
Yuzhongjin turned and looked at Kikyo.
"me……"
Kikyo was still hesitating whether she should answer.
"It seems that next time I go to the shrine to practice, I should bring these guys with me." Yuzhongjin muttered to himself.
Although the sound is a bit louder.
"I eat three meals a day, and each meal weighs three pounds."
Kikyo finally said it.
"Ouch!" Not that many!
Huihui shouted immediately.
"… and we have to take the bones into account."
Kikyo added silently.
"Oh~" This is true.
Huihui hung his tail and stopped barking.
……
Today's normal update (1/2).
Volume 48 Inuyasha (Part 3): Chapter Chapter Don't spoil them too much [K]
"Really~ Yunhe, you can't always spoil them too much, you have to be moderate in everything, otherwise they will turn into big orange cats in the future."
After hearing Kikyo's words, Yuzhuanjin immediately turned his head and looked at Yunhe, his eyes full of resentment. What does it mean to eat three pounds of food every day? And that's three meals a day!
Where did this starving ghost come from?
"I can't do anything about it, because every time it's mealtime or noon they come to me and act like a spoiled brat..."
When a fluffy little fox acts cute and begs for food, no one can resist it. The fox charm in its bones, coupled with its petite body and pitiful cry, is irresistible.
AWSL!
"Ow~"
Huihui tried to act cute to dodge the question.
"... Humph, this trick won't work on me. You little guys, don't start to act up when I'm not at home. There will be no food for you tonight. You should have eaten at noon anyway. You eat so much every day. Don't you think you are so big? Can you bear it? You can think about your greed when you grow up."
Yu Zhuanjin squatted down, loosened his hands, put Huihui and Fufu down from his arms, and tapped the foreheads of the three little foxes one by one, and then followed Yunhe to the kitchen.
As for the young foxes left in the living room, they also showed different reactions at this moment. Fu Fu's sharp eyes swept over the other young foxes who were reflecting on what they had been preached. These guys actually took advantage of him and Yu Zhuanjin going out and secretly ate at home...
Don't leave any for it!
Forget about eating it, but you didn’t even think about it?
This is the only thing Fu Fu cares about.
So, following Yu Zhuanjin, Fu Fu jumped up and pounced, and then started playing with the other young foxes.
……
A little bit of dogwood adds spiciness, cloves and star anise enhance the freshness, and the necessary salt and dried ginger are mixed together to create a basic seasoning.
Looking at the ingredients again, there were a few sea breams swimming in the water tank in the corner of the kitchen, with scratch marks on the fish scales. Yu Zhuanjin knew without thinking that they were definitely caught by the three greedy young foxes.
Among them, the largest one was fifty centimeters long and sank quietly to the bottom of the tank. Yu Zhuanjin rolled up his sleeves and reached out to scoop it out. It felt like it weighed at least four or five kilograms.
But the heavier the fish, the better. If the fish is too big, the meat will become tough and lose its elasticity. However...
Yu Zhuanjin suddenly remembered that she had said this morning that she would cook a meal for Fu Fu. Now that there were enough ingredients, she decided to finish the task as soon as possible to avoid forgetting it later.
"That should be enough."
After saying that, Yu Zhuanjin weighed it again.
"……What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Yun He moved closer. In fact, she had been eyeing that fish for a long time, but unfortunately it was a bit too big and no matter who was given it, they would not be able to finish it in one meal.
So I put it aside for the time being.
But Yu Zhuanjin was pondering the question of "is it enough?" After thinking about it again and again, Yunhe suddenly realized.
"What? Yuzhongjin, you are too hypocritical. You just scolded those little guys and said you would not give them food, but now you got the biggest fish. You must have thought of giving it to Fufu alone, but Fufu is so big that he definitely can't finish it all by himself, so you must have shared it with the other three cubs in the end. It's so cute."
Yunhe immediately understood Yu Zhuanjin's thoughts, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and said jokingly.
"We can't spoil them too much, at least not openly." Yu Zhuanjin forced an explanation.
"I know, I know."
Yun He waved his hand to show that he understood, although his tone was still excited.
She picked out two smaller sea breams and quickly finished cooking them with Yunhe in less than a quarter of an hour.
Holding the plate in both hands, Yu Zhuanjin returned to the guest room, placed the food on the table, and called Fu Fu, saying, "Fu Fu, I told you this morning that I would make you a meal alone. It's already ready and is in the kitchen..."
“…Ouch!”
However, before Yuzhuanjin could finish his words, Fu Fu had already run over.
The other three fox cubs followed suit, thinking for a moment, and finally followed. Even if there was no food, what could they do? At most, they could just go and get some soup to drink.
……
Fu Fu quickly came to the kitchen, jumped onto the stove, and looked at the roasted fish in front of him that was almost the same size as him. For a moment, he couldn't help but tilt his head, as if he couldn't eat it...
