Fortunately, the embarrassment did not last long. Bai Qiyun directly stuffed the long skirt with the girl's body temperature back into the quilt and asked the miko to put it on again.

The miko who had just suffered a brain short-circuit came to her senses and realized that her previous actions were quite rude... No, it should be said that she even abandoned the most basic miko etiquette.

As an active miko, you must not act excessively in front of the opposite sex under any circumstances.

If a behavior like the one just now were known to Mr. Coral Palace, not to mention whether he would be directly expelled from Sōun Shrine, but a punishment would definitely be indispensable.

Thinking of this, the miko lady reflected secretly in her heart.

She obviously pays great attention to these rules and regulations on weekdays, but why is she so relaxed today?

Suddenly, the miko lady's eyes caught a glimpse of the handsome face of the man in front of her, and she couldn't help but blush.

Could it be...

Bai Qiyun looked at the girl's yearning look and probably guessed what she was thinking, but that was why he felt dumbfounded.

This girl is probably thinking wrong. She may cross the line so easily just because of the soul contract between the two.

Generally speaking, because of the oaths taken by shrine maidens, their desires will be suppressed by the oaths during their service at the shrine.

Therefore, basically there will be no behavior of witches crossing the line, and it is also a kind of self-suggestion from the soul.

But unfortunately, in front of him, this self-suggestion will be canceled subconsciously.

And because the suppressed desires in daily life are too strong, once these witches are relieved, it is extremely easy for these witches to reveal the suppressed side of their hearts, and they may even make various extreme actions.

This phenomenon can happen to new shrine maidens who have just joined the job, or to the priests of major shrines.

That's why Coral Palace Xinhai had almost no defense against him before, showing an extremely rare side of a little girl.

As for Yae Shenzi, after living for so many years, he may have some methods of his own to ease his desire to express himself.

As for what means to use to alleviate the problem, the most common one is definitely self-cough, let’s use this topic to teach that pink-furred fox a lesson next time.

However, the oath contract bound to the fox was still very strong, and he probably did not do anything to violate the oath.

And compared to humans, it is definitely more difficult for monsters, who have been in the position of palace ministers for a long time, to suppress certain desires of their own.

After all, humans can still resign and retire, but monsters can only wait for their successors to appear. Once they do, they often live for thousands of years, which is very uncomfortable.

"By the way, I still don't know your name after all this fussing."

"Mr. Bai, just call me Chaolu."

"Chaolu, that's a good name... Hmm? What's wrong with you?"

The face of the witch named Chaolu in front of him froze. Bai Qiyun noticed something strange about her and immediately asked.

Hearing this, Chaolu quickly waved his arms, just like a pedestrian in the forest waving his arms to drive away birds that landed above his head.

"No...nothing."

Bai Qiyun didn't know why, so he could only change the topic first.

He looked out the window at the night, looking at the moonlit sky in the distance.

"Speaking of which, how many shrine maidens are currently employed at Sōun Shrine?"

"This...I haven't counted the exact number, but there are probably about a hundred people."

"so little?"

Bai Qiyun looked startled when he heard this.

If he remembered correctly, there were thousands of shrine maidens in Narukami Taisha Shrine. Although the populations of the two islands were different, how could there be nearly a tenfold difference in the number of shrine maidens in the shrine.

"No, no, no, it's already quite a lot. Coral Palace-sama is worried about how to support these more than 100 people. And recently, I heard that there are plans to expand the enrollment."

Chaolu didn't seem to want Bai Qiyun to think that Xinhai was a stingy person, so she quickly defended the head of the palace.

As for why Shuoyun Shrine expanded its enrollment, Bai Qiyun still had some guesses.

It may be because the previously mentioned three shrine branches will be implemented, so in order to provide manpower, each shrine will have to expand its recruitment to a certain extent.

For example, although Sōun Shrine's sphere of influence cannot extend to Narukami Island, Yaojima Island and Kannazuka, these two islands that were once used as battlefields, will become Sōun Shrine's important territory of influence.

Coincidentally, Asara Shrine will also take action against Tsurukwan Island. This is the legitimate power given to the three shrines by the new regulations.

Since you hide Narukami Island and prevent the other two major shrines from entering, then they will accept it with a smile on the other islands.

And whether this matter is real or shadow, or the Eightfold Divine Son, they can only hold it in. After all, this is the rule set by the former boss's spiritual appearance and must be followed.

As for why there is such a big gap between the number of people in Soun Shrine and Narukami Taisha Shrine, Bai Qiyun roughly guessed the reason.

It was nothing more than a matter of finance and population. It seemed that the gap between Kaiji Island and Narukami Island was wider than he imagined.

Even though they are in charge of the same island, there is no doubt that the population of Narukami Island is about five to ten times that of Kaiji Island.

Otherwise we will never be able to support so many civil servants.

"I understand, we can't rush this kind of thing."

Bai Qiyun sighed, walked to the window, made a water bird, and released it toward the shrine.

If a shrine maiden disappeared overnight without incident, the shrine would easily become suspicious.

At this time, he must first inform Xinhai and ask the shrine not to act rashly. If he tries to scare the enemy, he will fail in his efforts.

After chatting for a while, Bai Qiyun and Chao Lu fell asleep.

I have to get up early tomorrow morning to act, so I can't do it if I don't go to bed early tonight.

The next day, the two slowly woke up under the same quilt.

The brilliance of the morning sun shone on the sea outside the window, reflecting the sea so brightly that the two people inside the room could not open their eyes.

"Mr. Bai..."

Chaolu rubbed her eyes and climbed up from the boy's arms, but she might fall down at any time and she didn't seem to wake up yet.

Bai Qiyun turned on the elemental field perception to the maximum and monitored the movements in the corridor at all times. He knew that people from the Chamber of Commerce would definitely come to check the results in the morning, and there must be an early warning first.

"Well, take it off."

Although Bai Qiyun said something that was misleading, Chaolu, who agreed to cooperate with the plan, acted very neatly.

With three strokes, he kicked the miko's robe and long skirt that covered his body under the bed.

Although she still left her underwear behind, it was covered by the quilt, so as long as outsiders didn't lift it up to see, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Bai Qiyun also followed her example and threw off his shirt and pants.

Then he directly held the girl in his arms, looking very intimate.

But even though it is just a plan, there is still inevitable skin contact.

The overly strong male aura filled Chaolu's mind, making her dizzy for a moment and asked in a daze.

"This... violates the shrine maiden regulations."

But despite saying this, she felt in her heart that this was the right thing to do, as if this was the only way to conform to her body's instinct.

"Don't worry, it won't be violated."

"Really?"

"real."

While speaking, Bai Qiyun's eyes narrowed and he removed the barrier covering the outside of the room.

In his perception, a figure was rushing towards this side with swift steps.
