Chapter 446: The Tengu Girl Under the Sacred Sakura Tree(1/2)
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
After leaving the noisy area before, Jiu Jiao Shan Luo apologized to Bai Qi Yun for the first time.
"No, it's nothing. I'm just more tired than before."
Bai Qiyun didn't dare to catch the apology from the boss who paid the salary, so he quickly found an excuse and threw it back.
But what he said was true. He had to go back to his old job before taking a break for a walk, and the energy expenditure was indeed not recovered.
Hearing this, a hint of apology appeared on Kujo Sora's beautiful face.
Originally, she came to accompany Bai Qiyun to rest, but now she asked him to do more work, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
However, with the commotion of Arataki's fight, quite a while had passed, and the crowd density in the surrounding streets had increased a bit.
It seems that this place is not suitable for resting.
"follow me."
Kujo Sora's eyes swept across the dense crowd, and without any explanation he led the young man towards the wilderness of the Lower City.
As the two of them drifted away, the prosperity of Xiacheng District also gradually disappeared, replaced by straw huts located in the wilderness, with figures among them working hard in the nearby farmland.
Her footsteps were brisk on the grass. Jiu Jiao Shan Luo pulled the boy's sleeves and skillfully shuttled through the paths in the fields without anyone noticing her presence.
Finally, after crossing fields, Kujo Sora stopped under a sacred cherry tree in full bloom.
The blooming flowers of the sacred cherry tree covered the sky, exuding a faint fragrance in the air and drifting into the nostrils of the two people.
"There should be no one to disturb you here."
Looking at the huge sacred cherry tree in front of him, Kujo Sora's eyes were full of nostalgia.
This place is remote and sparsely populated, with only a huge sacred cherry tree standing in the center of the wilderness.
Just like a lotus blooming in the pond, it is eye-catching.
Ever since she was a child, she would find this place whenever she felt depressed, lean against the sacred cherry tree and feel its faint fragrance, and her gloomy mood would soon calm down.
It's just that when she grew up, she was busy with things at home in the army, so she hadn't come here to rest for a long time.
After several years of separation, she has changed, but Shenying has not.
In this land of Inazuma filled with the power of thunder, only these sacred cherry blossoms exist like eternity.
His eyes swept over the woman's thoughtful face. Bai Qiyun didn't mean to disturb her. He found a seat by himself and sat down quietly.
The evening breeze in spring gently blew the treetops, making a rustling sound, just like wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the countryside.
As the agarwood entered his nose, Bai Qiyun enjoyed this hard-won moment of peace.
After a while, Miss Tengu seemed to have finished recalling the past and sat casually next to the boy.
Putting his hands on his bent knees, the purple curtain that originally covered his lower body hung freely and loosely on the ground, and his pair of white thighs were unreservedly exposed to the air.
A pair of clear yellow eyes revealed a bit of fatigue and confusion.
"Miss Kujo, is that guy okay?"
Perhaps because the current Kujo Sora did not have the temperament of a shogunate, Bai Qiyun's name for him quietly changed, and he became closer to the identity of the eldest lady of the Kujo family.
Hearing the sound, Kujo Suluo looked startled.
She turned her head to look at the boy beside her, but said nothing, then turned back again.
The woman stared at the stream passing by her, in which occasionally a few fish with silvery light swam by.
"Are you talking about Arataki Ito? Don't worry, that guy's body is not that fragile. He is still a ghost after all."
When it came to the alien race, Bai Qiyun found that Kujo Sanluo's expression became a little unnatural.
"The ghost clan... feels like such a distant creature. I thought this kind of creature only existed in Inazuma's light novels."
Beat~
Bai Qiyun picked up a stone and threw it into the lake.
The pebbles splashed on the surface of the water, and finally drowned in the river in front of them.
The boy's seemingly childish behavior did not make Kujo Sora feel any discomfort. On the contrary, when was the last time he communicated with others easily like this?
I'm afraid even she herself can't remember clearly.
Just when she was immersed in searching for childhood memories, the boy's voice reached her ears again.
"Speaking of which, I heard that person named Arataki Itto say that Miss Kujo seems to be a 'Tengu'?"
Like the ghost clan, the Tengu are also a distant race to Bai Qiyun.
"Well, he's right."
Regarding the young man's inquiry, Kujo Sora had no intention of covering up.
In other words, this matter is not a secret in the eyes of the public, and people with a certain status know her identity.
Kujo Sora slowly exhaled a breath of depression from his chest, causing the curtain covering his twin peaks to tremble.
"I am actually not a biological child of the Kujo family, but an adopted daughter picked up by the head of the family. My real body is not a human being, but a member of the Tengu clan hiding in the mountains and forests."
She didn't know if Kujo Takayuki had any friendship with her parents, but at least she spent a childhood with no worries about food and clothing after coming to Kujo's house.
Although a little harsh and mean, they are much better than those monsters that can only wander in the mountains and forests all day long.
However, it is precisely because of her background that whenever she feels irritable, she will go into the mountains to find some deviant foxes and teach them a lesson.
Then reward those obedient little guys with delicious food.
This can be regarded as a way for her to relieve stress on a daily basis.
And she didn't know if it was because of her nature, but she felt that she felt much more relaxed and free when walking in the mountains than when she was at the Kujo family.
Maybe the tengu should just stay in the mountains.
Thinking of this, the Tengu girl couldn't help but feel a trace of self-deprecation on her lips.
"Really, but Miss Kujo looks just like a normal person."
Suddenly, the young man's voice broke the silence between the two of them again.
The fact is indeed as Bai Qiyun said. In his eyes, the appearance of Kujo Sanra is no different from that of ordinary people in Teyvat. Compared with the ghost clan before, it is completely different.
Bai Qiyun pinched another stone and floated it on the river in front of him, as if he had said the words just now inadvertently.
The sound of pebbles falling into the water was heard endlessly, and Kujo Sanra frowned slightly and pursed his red lips.
"Do you like to have a look?"
"Eh?"
Before Bai Qiyun could reply, the woman suddenly stood up, startling the boy who was throwing stones casually aside.
A burst of lightning flashed, and a pair of black wings suddenly spread out from behind Kujo Sanra.
The black wings flap silently in mid-air, and occasionally a few feathers fall off, which is quite ominous.
Perhaps specifically to allow space for the wings to spread, Kujo Sanora's back was not covered by clothing, but was exposed in large areas.
The appearance of Feather Wings at this time filled the gap in this aspect.
Seeing the woman's sudden move, Bai Qiyun was stunned for a moment, but was soon attracted by the woman's pair of black wings.
"Hoho, are these the wings of the Tengu? They look really impressive."
This is not a deliberate compliment. In Bai Qiyun's impression, having wings behind him is a symbol of strength and beauty.
For example, the wind demon dragon Tevalin I encountered before had ridiculously large wings and was quite powerful.
Even now, he has no chance of winning against that green giant dragon.
"So...can I touch it?"
Curiosity about strange races broke through Bai Qiyun's mind's defense line against foreign races, making his mind heat up, and he made an unreasonable request.
"ha?"
It seemed that he did not expect that the young man would make such a request, and even Kujo Sora himself was shocked.
The wings are to the Tengu what the tail is to Diona, they are both untouchable.
But since she was a child, she grew up in a Kujo family and doesn't understand the laws that are common among the Tengu clan.
When someone asked her to touch her wings, she didn't know whether to refuse or accept.
"Then...then...you try."
The usually majestic Kujo Sura was shaken violently at this moment, a trace of panic flashed through the orange twins, and even his words seemed to be stumbling.
"No...that..."
Unlike her, Bai Qiyun on the other side realized something was wrong as soon as he said the words.
How could you just make such a request? It's so rude.
Originally, he was planning to accept the harshest rejection, but he didn't expect that Kujo Sora would agree to his request, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
To be continued...
