"Let's talk about the rest later. You should go back into the painting first."
The figure transformed into a strange aura and returned to the painting.
The painting, which had already returned to normal, suddenly had a sinister feel to it.
Yae no Miko rolled up the painting.
Xia Zhen looked at her and said, "He's too weak."
Yae no Miko shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. Who told him to go and possess an ordinary person for no reason and even write a book called 'True Spirit Detective Notes'? He just happened to run into the completion of the [Divine Cherry Blossom Great Purification] ritual. If he hadn't been a great fox demon in his previous life and knew many demonic spells and incantations, he would probably have been purified and returned to the earth's veins long ago."
Hana Sanri stood to the side, looking slightly embarrassed, after all, the [Divine Sakura Great Exorcism] was her doing.
Yae no Miko continued, "This painting was his most prized work. Some of his demonic power remains in it. It is because he hid in the painting that he was able to barely survive in the world. But this will not last long. When all the demonic power in the painting dissipates, he will also dissipate."
Xia Zhen nodded and said, "It's alright, as long as we find his ghost, that's fine. After we get back to the shrine for dinner, I'll go find my cousin..."
Just then, her phone rang.
Xia Zhen picked up her phone and glanced at it.
[Shadow]: Sister, come to the shrine for a meal. I made something delicious for you!
Xia Zhen paused for a moment, then sighed.
She was unaware that Xia Zhi had already helped Ying solve the problem of her cooking having an odd taste.
"let's go……"
Yae no Miko and Hana Sanri looked at her suddenly melancholy back view, feeling bewildered.
Chapter 583 Girls' Friendship (4K)
In the dining hall of Narukami Shrine, Yoshimiya was happily eating the food in his bowl.
It's so delicious!
She had never had such a delicious lunch before!
She looked up at Xia Zhi sitting at the table. Her cheeks were adorably puffed out because her mouth was full of food, and her voice was a little muffled.
"Mr. Xia, did you make these?"
"Some of them were made by my apprentices, the rest were made by my apprentices."
"Your apprentice..."
"It's Xiangling."
"Eh? Is Xiangling your apprentice?"
"Yes, she's still tidying up in the kitchen right now. She'll be over soon, and I'll introduce her to you then."
"okay."
"If you like it, eat more, don't be shy."
"Yes, you won't be polite!"
Xiaogong laughed, her eyes crinkling slightly, giving off a bright and cheerful feeling.
Like green plum.
After eating for a while, Xiangling came over with the rice crust.
"Master!"
"Woo!"
"Come sit down, you two have both worked hard."
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded.
Xiangling sat down beside him and looked at Xiaogong generously, saying, "Hello, I am Xiangling, a chef from Liyue. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yoomiya smiled and nodded, "Hello! I'm Yoomiya! The manager of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop. It's nice to meet you too!"
Xiangling was a little surprised to hear this: "Wow, you're already the store manager! When I saw you in the store the other day, I thought you were just a waiter!"
Xiaogong smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. My mom's health isn't good, and she has to take medicine often. My dad's hearing isn't very good either, so it's a bit inconvenient for him to receive guests. Later, he simply handed over the shop manager position to me so he could take care of my mom and also help keep an eye on the shop's business..."
"I see! You've had a tough time too."
"not bad."
Guoba wasn't interested in their conversation.
It had been helping in the kitchen for so long and was already hungry; now all it wanted to do was eat.
Xiao Gong's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the scene of Guo Ba diligently eating rice next to Xiang Ling.
Although there are many legends about yokai in Inatsume, this is the first time she has ever seen a pet that can sit at the table and eat by itself!
She stared wide-eyed at the rice crust, her eyes wide with surprise: "It can actually use chopsticks!?"
Xiangling smiled and said, "Of course! Guoba is really amazing!"
Is its name Guoba (crispy rice crust)?
"That's right!"
"What an interesting name!"
"Right? I was the one who got it!"
Guoba raised its head and hummed a few times at the two of them: "Woo-woo! Woo-woo-woo-woo!"
Xiaogong asked curiously, "What does it seem to be saying?"
Xiangling's expression was a little strange. She coughed and then translated for Xiaogong: "Guoba said that it is also very happy to meet you."
Xiaogong immediately beamed with joy: "Wow! It's so smart!"
"Yes, let's eat too."
"it is good."
A smile appeared on Xia Zhi's face as he sat next to her.
He can now understand Guoba's speech and knows that what Guoba really meant was, "If you two don't eat, I'm going to eat all the vegetables!"
Xiangling probably felt a little embarrassed to translate these words directly, so she embellished them artistically.
Guoba hummed again, somewhat dissatisfied: "Waaah!"
That's not what I meant at all!
Xiangling tapped it on the head: "Eat your food properly!"
"Woo..."
Guoba lowered its head in grievance and continued eating.
At this moment, Xia Zhen and the others also arrived from the castle tower.
The cafeteria was mostly frequented by ordinary people, so to avoid trouble, Xia Zhen slightly concealed her true face.
Yae no Miko walked over and gave Yomi-no-miya a charming smile: "Oh, isn't this the Queen of the Summer Festival?"
Xiaogong was a little embarrassed: "Lord of the Palace, Queen and such... please don't call me that."
Yae no Miko chuckled softly, "As the most skilled fireworks expert in Inazuma, it's not like I don't deserve such a title... Alright, alright..."
She stopped teasing Xiaogong and instead bent down to hug Xia Zhi's arm.
This gesture is a bit ambiguous.
When Xiaogong saw this, he was stunned.
Mr. Xia and Lord Miyaji... are they really that close?
"Xia Jun, come here for a moment."
Xia Zhi could feel the softness coming from her arm, and the alluring, faint fragrance emanating from her body.
"what's up?"
"Come on, we'll tell you in a bit."
"Alright, Miss Yoomiya, I'll excuse myself for a moment."
"Okay, then you can go ahead and get back to work!"
Xiao Gong snapped out of her daze and quickly said something. Then she watched as Xia Zhi followed Lord Gong Si and two other women to another table not far away.
Xiangling served Xiaogong some food and said, "Don't worry about Master, let's just eat."
Xiaogong withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Yes, okay..."
Xiangling turned her head and said, "Guoba, eat slowly!"
Guoba looked aggrieved: "Waaah..."
Xiaogong couldn't help but smile: "It's so cute... Where did you buy this glove?"
"It wasn't bought, it was unpacked... Well, consider it a gift from Master. It can make its claws as flexible as human fingers."
