Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 656 Dream

It was three o'clock in the morning and Nan Yan was not asleep.

He couldn't sleep at all now. As soon as he closed his eyes, the graceful figure of the witch would echo in his mind.

Especially when she used her body to wash him, the attractive curve formed by the pressure of the balloon against his skin, and the natural hot body temperature and girlish fragrance emitted by the witch when she used every inch of her skin to touch his cheek, arm, chest, etc., all made him excited and fell in love with her like a dream.

He was so moved that he couldn't help but kiss her.

The witch also responded to him gently, allowing him to be flirtatious.

But in the end, Nan Yan did not take the next step.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved at all.

For a moment, he actually had the idea of ​​possessing this witch.

But the fact that such a pure priestess personally bathed and purified him showed that she had great faith in his character. Ishihu Xia also kindly took him in to recuperate in the divine realm, but she also had to bear the risk of being discovered.

It is already an overstepping of authority to be able to have sex with her, let alone go one step further.

So in the end, Nan Yan held back and did not make any further offense to the witch. However, her soft and smooth skin brushing against his body made Nan Yan's heart flutter all the time.

He could only relieve the inexplicable impulse and anger by stroking the priestess's smooth and flawless back, but Nan Yan knew that he could not hurt Ishihu Xia.

The other party trusted him so much, but he only wanted to commit crimes. He is really not a good son.

Feeling that Nan Yan did not make any further moves, Ishihu Xia's beautiful eyes also revealed tenderness. She knew very well how bad and abominable the reputation of this purification was in the past. The many restrictions on this purification in later generations, such as it could only be used on girls, were also because there had been an extremely absurd period of time back then.

You know, Neon once had a time when it was underpopulated.

During the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of countries on the small land of Japan, and these countries fought against each other, causing the population to decline rapidly.

And at this time, an infamous neon custom was born.

It's called 'Night Climb'.

Simply put, it is an act of men sneaking into women's homes at night. This behavior was regarded as an extremely common way of socializing in ancient Neon, especially in rural areas.

It is supposed that a young unmarried man would sneak into the room of a woman he likes at night and have intimate communication with her. This behavior happened quietly in the dark, and when the day comes, everything is calm and peaceful as usual.

In order to increase the population, it was tacitly accepted in ancient times.

But you can never doubt the bottom line of human nature, and the bottom line of ancient neon.

What was originally supposed to be a social activity for young unmarried men and women eventually turned into a gathering of middle-aged men, the elderly, and children, with wives, girls, and old women all being abused.

Even fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, brothers and sisters, uncles, wives and sisters-in-law began to act unscrupulously.

Naturally, such outrageous and immoral evil habits eventually spread to the sacred profession of witches.

Countless Japanese men sneak into the shrine maidens' divine domain at night and trample on the purity of all the maidens.

At the same time, in order to play with the clergy, the rituals originally used for blessing and purification were replaced with various tricks to defile the priestess.

Bathing purification also became an evil deed for the witch.

This is a bad habit that has lasted for thousands of years. In the chapters of the classic novels "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" and "The Tale of Genji", there are glorified records of the "custom of sneaking around on moonlit nights". Even now some villages are passing on and inheriting this tradition in a sublimated way.

But bad habits are bad habits after all, and they are a magnifying glass for the bad roots of human nature.

It was not until the unprecedented massacre that took place in Japan in the last century that Japan finally abolished the tradition of night climbing.

Thousands of years of filthy past are also written in the heritage of today's witches, and are seen as a warning against the terrible times of those days.

However, the evil of human nature revealed by the past history of the shrine maiden Muzan also made Ishido Kasumi deeply realize that if she were to perform the bathing purification ritual with Hiko-kun, she might suffer the same consequences.

But in the end, all she asked for was hugs and kisses.

This made Ishihu Xia realize once again that Nan Yan was, after all, a young man of noble character, not one of those despicable Neon ancients.

That being said.

Nan Yan was feeling somewhat tormented at this moment.

Although I managed to endure it through willpower, the aftertaste of it is still heart-pounding.

"What's going on? You've even been through a big event like Dragon God Mahjong, but you can't even handle a mere bathing purification?"

Nan Yan couldn't help but talk to himself.

My willpower seems to be weaker than I thought. Why is that?
Nan Yan quickly thought of a possibility. It must be that the little girl Fukumaru Koito stuck to him every day, using her poor body to stimulate his astrology, so that under her constant grinding, his willpower was getting weaker day by day.

That's why I felt a little overwhelmed by this seven-day bathing and purification process.

Now in the company, Fukumaru Koito, who is busy running around for Nan Yan's safety, certainly didn't expect that on the distant Kirishima Island, Nan Yan secretly put a huge blame on her.

That night, Nan Yan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He could only stand up and walk around to consume his energy.

Although the white robe that the witch gave him was quite loose, Nan Yan still had to keep adjusting his alchemy skills.

In the sacred place of the shrine, with Nan Yan's personality, he would definitely not do anything to entertain himself, not to mention that his aura needed to be eliminated during the bathing and purification. If the water was not cleaned up afterwards after drilling wood, all the efforts of the shrine maiden would be wasted.

So Nan Yan had no choice but to stroll in the divine realm, almost exhausting his youthful energy, and only fell asleep at midnight.

While Nan Yan was pacing secretly, Ishihu Xia, who was also having trouble falling asleep, left the divine realm and planned to go outside to enjoy the night view. When she passed by Nan Yan's room, she noticed the movement inside.

Seeing Nan Yan's unusual behavior, the witch more or less understood the reason.

But after standing in front of the door for a long time, she still didn't have the courage to step forward.
.
Day two.

"Namco-sama, let's play three-person mahjong together!"

Early in the morning, Ishido Lanlan rushed into Nan Yan's room rashly and pulled him up to play.

"Lanlan, you haven't finished your homework yet."

Seeing the girl naturally holding Nan Yan's arm after only spending one day with him, Shi Hu Xia couldn't help but frown.

But come to think of it, no matter where he is, Yanjun is extremely popular among girls.

What's more, Lanlan has no experience in interacting with the opposite sex, so Yanjun is the perfect playmate for her.

"Okay." Ishihu Lanlan was suddenly hit hard and could only do her homework honestly.

"Homework?" Although Nan Yan was still sleepy after being woken up, he couldn't help but be curious, "Is it homework from school?"

"No, it's Huo Tianni's alternative homework!"

Ishido Lanlan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Namune-sama, come with me. It's boring to be alone. If you do homework with me, you can also tell me stories.

Let’s go! ”

Without waiting for Nan Yan to refuse, the girl directly pulled Nan Yan and ran out.

Soon, Nan Yan experienced what it was like to be a living Tian Ni.

They train their willpower, practice martial arts, boxing and how to withstand blows under the waterfall, and also complete some extremely difficult moves such as the Kagura dance, which also requires a lot of body flexibility.

In addition, there is no electricity in the shrine, so the priestesses have to chop wood and fetch water themselves.

After a whole morning of hard work, Nan Yan, who hadn't slept much, was almost exhausted. "By the way, do all you witches have to do these homework?"

Nan Yan picked up the axe and chopped it down hard. With the help of his perception, he chopped the wood very accurately and was able to perfectly split the wood in two.

But physical work like chopping wood is not very friendly to city people who only live in big cities.

Many people yearn for pastoral idyll and sing praises of the beautiful scenery of farms, but after living in the countryside for just a few days, they will return to the city in shame.

This kind of farm work is just for experience. If people from towns really have to live in the countryside for a long time, I guess few of them can stand it.

“Only the priestesses who are related to the main family need to do these exercises. After all, our lineage is born to serve the princess of the main family as a living god. We have to protect the princess from disasters, so we must cultivate our bodies.

There is no need for those from the side branches, as grandma said their bloodline is not pure, so they cannot set foot in a sacred place like Kirishima Shrine.

Besides, the Nagamizu Shrine is in Kagoshima, where there is running water, electricity, and television! Unlike the Jingu Shrine, which is in a remote mountain like this."

Ishihu Lanlan became more and more annoyed as she spoke.

Television was a rare commodity for her. She heard that she could see a wide variety of the outside world on it, but there was nothing in the shrine. She could only move bricks, fetch water, and chop wood every day, leading a boring life day after day.

"It would be great if I could become the princess's living Tianni like Sister Xia, so that I can go down the mountain and play."

Hearing this, Nan Yan felt quite sympathetic towards her.

This girl’s biggest dream is to become a living Tianni and then go out into the world.

"Sister Xia has also been temporarily deprived of her qualifications as a living Tian Ni because..."

Ishihu Lanlan said this and did not continue. After all, if she really wanted to get to the bottom of it, it was all because of Nan Yan.

So Xia was also placed under house arrest here to reflect on herself.

"But Sister Xia is the most perfect living Tian Ni in history. Since she signed the contract with the princess, the princess has never been sick or suffered a disaster. I wish I could become a person as powerful as my sister."

The wish the girl made was also very simple.

Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable. For ordinary people, becoming a living Tianni was no different from being enslaved.

But everyone has different aspirations, and everyone has been instilled with different ideas since childhood. Freedom and independence are simple to say, but not everyone can get them.

"Well I hope you get what you want."

In the end, Nan Yan found that he could only give verbal encouragement, and it seemed that his strength could only go so far.

"Excuse me, is there anyone who can take the Shrine Maiden out of Kirishima?"

"outsider?"

Lan Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead, twisted her neck and thought for a while, then said: "If the priestess of the shrine wants to leave, she will be betrothed to a specific person when she is twenty years old, but from then on she will be an outsider and cannot come back.

And if a girl is born, she must be sent to the shrine to become a new priestess, and the girl must cut off all ties with her original family.

But it is almost impossible for an outsider to take the witch away.

Unless someone like Emperor Akihito, who holds great power, insists on taking a shrine maiden away, grandma will probably allow it. Ordinary people are not qualified to covet the shrine maidens."

"Power." Nan Yan whispered softly.

The shrine is the highest form of a shrine, and the shrine's maidens are the messengers closest to the gods, so the shrine maidens here have a transcendent status and ordinary people really have no way to take the shrine maidens away.

But if you gain authority, the result will be different.

"Nammu-sama, are you planning to take Lanlan down the mountain to play? You are such a nice person!"

Ishihu Lanlan seemed to have guessed Nan Yan's thoughts, and couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude towards Nan Yan, but she also knew that such a thing was unrealistic.

"Although I also want to go out and play, you probably can't take me with you, unless one day you can become a big shot like the Prime Minister or the Emperor, then you can take me out to play. But I don't think you can do it, Yanjun, because you are too gentle and kind.

You know, those big shots are all ruthless and cunning, but I can't see that from Lord Nan Meng at all."

Nan Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, too lazy to explain to the little girl.

After they finished chopping wood, they returned to the divine realm.

Nan Yan felt even more tired after not sleeping well at night and working all morning. In the afternoon, he forced himself to play mahjong with Lanlan and Xia for several hours and almost fell asleep.

This continued for the next few days.

Nan Yan could not fall asleep until very late at night, and even if he fell asleep, he would always have erotic dreams. During the day, he was taken by the lively maid to chop wood and fetch water, and in the afternoon he still needed to take a bath and purify himself.

Until the fourth day.

When playing mahjong with the two priestesses in the evening, Nan Yan was already extremely tired.

In the middle of the game, he was almost overturned by Lanlan due to a single mistake.

"Almost there, it seems I made progress today!" Ishihu Lanlan looked happy.

Even though she still lost everything, at least she managed to reach Nanyan today, which was completely different from the previous few days when she saw no hope at all.

Maybe in a few days, she will win again!

"That's all for today. Yanjun should also go to bed early."

Seeing Nan Yan’s exhausted face, Shi Hu Xia felt a little distressed.

"So early?" Ishito Lanlan was still a little reluctant, but nodded sensibly, "Okay then, tell me a story tonight!"

It can be seen that Ishido Lanlan still wants to continue the story that Nan Yan did not finish yesterday.

"Good night."

Nan Yan also felt that he was really tired these days, not only physically but also mentally.

He always dreamed of a witch having an incredibly wonderful one-love relationship with him.

This can't go on. I have to go to bed early today.

Lying in his room, Nan Yan forced himself to shut down his brain this time and no longer recalled the scene of Yu Fu and Xia hugging each other.

After trying hard to control his thoughts, he finally fell asleep that day.

But after he fell asleep, the dream he had became unusually real for some reason. In the dream, there was a witch whose face could not be seen clearly.

She was a graceful and gentle miko, she had her long black hair tied behind her head and slowly put the million-point upright stick into the endless softness.

In an instant, Nan Yan felt that his spirit was extremely excited.

He let out all the fatigue, tiredness and powerlessness that he had accumulated over the past few days in his dream.

This outburst was more exhilarating than any other, and a hundred times more satisfying than the one by Tianhu Guoshi Wushuang!
At the end of this dream, the images became more and more real, and consciousness gradually became clearer.

It was not until Nan Yan slowly opened his eyes that he saw the scene in his dream completely and perfectly merged with the figure in front of him.

"Xia...why is it you?"
