Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 657 This time, I will purify you
Nan Yan saw an incredible scene.

In the dream, the beautiful woman with a slender waist and a fair complexion, had her hair tied up in a bun, her smile as gorgeous as a spring peach, her lips like blooming red cherries, revealing her fragrant teeth, her tongue as silky as a jade-like figure that could soar like a phoenix or a dragon, her eyebrows frowned and she smiled, as if she was about to say something but did not. The beauty's tenderness and charm were all revealed in her gentle service.

Under the almost static and elegant service of that beauty, the artistic conception was as beautiful as orchids in a valley, as gorgeous as the reflection of clouds in a clear pond. There was not a trace of vulgarity, only a different kind of beauty.

The tenderness and love, with orchids and beans everywhere, outline a sacred picture that is extremely beautiful but not at all worldly.

However, it was not until Nan Yan slowly woke up that he realized the dream was over.

Only then could I see clearly that the stunning beauty, as beautiful as a spring plum blossom blooming in the snow and a cool autumn chrysanthemum, was exactly the same as the figure of the witch in front of me.

"Xia"

He called out softly.

At this moment, the witch was like the beauty in his dream, with a beauty and charm that made him breathtaking.

However, when she heard Nan Yan's cry, the witch was stunned. She did not expect that Nan Yan would suddenly wake up at such a critical moment.

This made her feel suddenly uneasy.

She didn't expect that there would be three accidents during her reverse night climb.

Her current appearance would definitely reduce her good image in Nan Yan's mind.

For a moment, Shi Huxia felt like the sky was falling.

"Sorry, Hiko-kun."

Shihu Xia swallowed it with difficulty, lowered her head anxiously, "I just see that you have been too busy these past few days, and you haven't been sleeping well recently. I just hope you can have a good rest.

I didn't expect to wake you up, I'm so sorry"

She shyly turned her face away so that Nan Yan wouldn't see her ugly side, then she stood up and wanted to leave this place immediately.

She knew that from this moment on, her original image of an elegant priestess had completely disappeared in Nan Yan's heart. Just like her grandmother's criticism and humiliation of her, she was born with a vile and unclean body and was no longer qualified to become the holy and flawless Princess of the Age of Gods.

But now, the only boy who could bring her spiritual comfort has fallen to the bottom of his opinion of her.

Ishihu Xia was a little devastated.

You know, ever since the Eishui Shrine suffered a crushing defeat in the national competition and Princess Kamishiro did not perform as expected in the individual competition, her grandmother has been extremely dissatisfied with her, thinking that she, as a living god, has not fulfilled her responsibilities.

In addition, her deeds of performing purification rituals for Nan Yan were exposed, and her grandmother's attitude towards her became even more disgusted.

From then on, she was cut off from serving Princess Kamiyo and was not even allowed to get close to Komachi, which was equivalent to being under house arrest.

It is almost impossible to become a shrine maiden beside the Princess Kamishiro again. After all, the shrine is an extremely sacred existence and the highest form of the Japanese Ten Thousand Shrines. Each shrine enshrines a famous god in Japanese mythology.

As Princess Kamishiro is the only person who can communicate with the gods, the priestesses who can serve her naturally have extremely high requirements and are not allowed to have any stains.

If there were no one more suitable than her to be the priestess of Huo Tianni at the moment, and if she were not the cousin of Princess Kamishiro and had a blood relationship with her, she would definitely have been tortured by her grandmother with the most severe punishment.

The shrine is the dream place of thousands of priestesses, but for her it is no less than a cold palace prison.

But she still held on to her heart and did not collapse, because in her heart there was a white moonlight like the Princess of Kamiyo, that is, Nan Yan.

But even Nan Yan's side was messed up by her.

She no longer had the face to face Nan Yan.

"Xia, wait."

However, at this time, Nan Yan grabbed her.

"Don't look at me, please. I am so filthy now and I can't bear to pollute Yanjun's eyes. Just let me go." Shi Hu Xia requested anxiously.

But she did not break free from Nan Yan's hand. Instead, she felt the young man rushing towards her and hugging her tightly.

"No, the mist I saw just now was more beautiful than usual." Nan Yan hugged the witch in front of him tightly, recalling the dream he had just had.

"Such a beauty should be ashamed of Xi Shi, and even Wang Qiang. I don't think she is ugly at all."

"Eh?"

Shihu Xia was stunned for a moment.

Even though she was stained with dirt and filth, Nan Yan actually thought she was pretty.

This made her feel ashamed and she didn't know what to say.

"But I have to take a bath and wash myself, so Yanjun please don't hug me anymore." Having said that, she still had to take a bath and change clothes.

In this state, she really didn't deserve to enjoy Nan Yan's embrace.

"Then let's go together."

"..." After a moment's silence, Ishihu Xia could only nod in agreement.

Unlike the previous few days when the witch led Nan Yan to the hot spring, this time it was Nan Yan who held her hand.

Moreover, the use of sakaki branches to ward off evil and dust, as well as the cleansing ceremony before entering the hot spring, were also led by Nan Yan.

Nan Yan was extremely meticulous and gentle, which made Ishihu Xia, who was originally responsible for serving her, even more shy.

As a priestess, she should have been able to remain calm, elegant and indifferent even when faced with a huge crisis. However, she tried several times to interrupt Nan Yan's admiration of her.

This is really too difficult to talk about.

It shouldn't be like this.

In her opinion, Nan Yan was as noble and extraordinary as Princess Kamishiro. If she asked such a distinguished person as Princess Kamishiro to purify her body, it would be an absolutely terrible act of usurpation.

It is not allowed to exist in her cognition.

But Nan Yan didn't mind at all. Even though she did such a vulgar and dirty thing tonight, Nan Yan never looked at her with disdain.

Instead, he cleansed and baptized her as if she were a treasure, which made the witch feel more or less uncomfortable.

"Yan Yan-jun, it's ready now."

Even her feet were pinched hard by Nan Yan, and Shihu Xia finally couldn't help but call for a stop.

It would be too weird to continue.

"Well, that's about it."

Nan Yan put it down reluctantly, but he didn't let her go. "There's still the bathing part."

"Yanjun is already very tired, let me lead today's bathing ceremony." The witch's face was flushed, and she said softly, "It is I who disturbed your rest. I don't want you to continue to work hard, okay?"

If she let Nan Yan baptize her again, she really wouldn't be able to remain calm.

"it is good."

Nan Yan nodded. He was indeed very tired and just followed the girl's arrangements.

"Ah."

Ishihu Xia's beautiful face blushed slightly, and then she leaned towards Nan Yan, but this time she did not take the next step. Instead, she made Nan Yan as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

"Have a good rest, I will always be with you." "But Xia will probably feel uncomfortable like this."

"I'm fine. The princess used to rest on me like this. After all, I'm the Living Tian Ni, and this is what I should do." Shihu Xia said softly, "Although I haven't signed a contract with Yan Jun, the contract between me and the princess has expired, so..."

The girl didn't know how to explain.

The contract with Princess Kamishiro was annulled because she was judged to be unclean, but she did not sign a contract with Nan Yan either.

So why should I do these things?

Just like what happened tonight, it was also her own decision.

Shihu Xia suddenly found that there was no way to convince herself using normal logic.

Maybe she just wanted to spend more time alone with Nan Yan out of her own selfish desires, that's all.

"Anyway, Yanjun needs to have a good rest now. I'm fine, so please keep it in mind."

Ishihu Xia forced herself to find an excuse.

It was just because Nan Yan was very tired, she simply hoped that Yan Jun could have a good rest, without any extra thoughts.

The night attack on Nan Yan was also in the hope that he could relax a little.

The bathing and purification in the past few days have exhausted him both physically and mentally.

She originally wanted to quietly come to Nan Yan's room, help Yan Jun solve his problems, and then leave quietly. Unfortunately, no matter how quietly she moved, she could not avoid disturbing Nan Yan.

It's a pity that she failed in the end.

Although Nan Yan did not blame her, Shi Hu Xia felt that it was purely because Nan Yan was kind-hearted that he did not scold her for her mistakes.

This made Ishihu Xia more or less have some thoughts of making amends.

She only hoped to punish herself and do her best to make Nan Yan forgive her.

At this moment, Nan Yan was already resting his head on the witch.

Feeling the amazing elasticity at the back of his head and the all-round appreciation of the witch just now made him more or less distracted and unable to fall asleep.

Especially when looking at the pair of plump, snow-white legs under the rippling water, Nan Yan was no longer sleepy at this moment.

The mist condensed into water droplets above and dripped back into the hot spring.

In such a large space, there is only the lonely sound of ticking.

Finally, Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Xia, let's chat."

"What are you talking about?" Xia gently held Nan Yan's head and asked softly.

"I want to know, what does Kasumi think of Princess Kamishiro?"

Although Kamishiro actually has no extra thoughts about Kasumi, the girl has divinity. After all, God loves the world, so Kamishiro Komachi actually has the "love" for Kasumi that God has for a mortal.

It’s just that the girl with divinity’s feelings towards Xia might not be much different from her feelings towards a mortal like him.

On the other hand, in Ishido Kasumi's heart, Kamijou is an extremely noble and special existence.

Perhaps it is not just Xia who thinks so. Everyone in the shrine will have this particularity and the gap in status between the two sides deeply imprinted in the soul of every priestess.

This is what made Shi Huxia such a humble person who is prone to self-deprecation.

Ishido Kasumi thought for a few seconds and replied, "As the messenger of God, the shrine maiden is responsible for communicating with God and conveying God's will. In theory, the shrine maiden is the 'wife of God'.

God loves the world, and the witch's highest wish is to become one with God. In God's love, she returns to the fusion of soul and divinity and achieves the perfect state of unity between man and nature.

Princess Kamishiro is a god, and I, the princess, am a living god. Therefore, I and Princess Kamishiro have a 'one love', and we are inseparable."

This is the standard answer that every shrine maiden has to the feelings of the Princess Kamishiro.

"So when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing the Kamiyo Princess; when I hug you now, it's like I'm hugging the Princess, is that what you mean?"

Nan Yan asked.

"not like this!"

Ishido Kasumi blurted out and quickly retorted: "I am not qualified to be equal to the princess. I am so lowly that I can't even serve the God's Master. I, my body and soul, are already filthy."

"But I always felt that Kasumi was a holy miko, and the so-called filthiness was nothing more than a shackle that others had placed on you, to suppress your spirit and control your personality."

"But I have lost the qualification to serve the Princess of Kamishiro. Only the most holy miko can serve the princess."

"So in your opinion, am I filthy or pure?" Nan Yan continued to ask.

"Hiko-kun is just like Princess Kamishiro. Both his soul and body are the purest in the world." Ishihu Xia said without hesitation.

That’s right, in her mind, Nan Yan’s soul and body are no different from those of Princess Kamishiro.

With such a noble and holy soul, it will naturally not be polluted by worldly things.

Suddenly, Nan Yan grabbed the girl's wrist tightly and forced Xia to look at him.

"I have bathed with you these days. If Xia is filthy, then so am I. But if Xia thinks I am pure, then I will use my purity to cleanse everything for you."

Xia widened her sad eyes, and after instantly understanding Nan Yan's intentions, she shook her head repeatedly.

"No, no, I will defile Yan..."

Before she could finish her words, her cherry lips were completely sealed by Nan Yan's lips, and she could no longer make any sound.

"Xia, this time, let me purify you." Nan Yan looked deeply at the witch and said in her ear.

Since the shrine maidens can use bathing to purify the gods, the same is true in reverse.

In Xia's eyes, he is pure, so he will use his purity to cleanse the filth of the witch.

Regardless of whether they are filthy or pure in the end, he and Xia are the same.

Being hugged affectionately by Nan Yan, Shi Huxia's eyes became a little dazed.

She had also hoped that even when she was rolling in the mud and covered in filth, she could still meet someone who could still love her. She never dared to expect that there would be such a perfect, great and noble person in the world like God who loves the world, and she did not dare to let others see her pitiful appearance.

However, she never thought that she would encounter it today.

Or maybe it was fate from the moment I met Nan Yan in the national competition.

"Yanjun, I really want to dedicate myself to you, but there is a seal on my body. Don't be impulsive, otherwise grandma will find out immediately."

Xia felt that Nan Yan's enthusiasm had been ignited, and he had even defeated the opponent several times.

She was worried that things would become irreversible and kept begging.

Because she was branded as unclean, her grandmother placed a seal on her. As long as her chastity was taken away, it would be sensed by the temple, so she couldn't... at least not now!

But the night was long enough.

He would not let the witch escape again.
