Chapter 176: Eat Pickles and Roll Tofu
[Sekiro] released the [Divine Power] red envelope.
[Clash of Clans]: What the hell? Where did you get your power?
[Sekiro]: It's really divine power. This is the energy I discovered from the body of the white snake in Sekiro. Now it has been confirmed that the white snake is really a land god like a mountain god.
[Do you want to practice cultivation?]: This divine power seems to be a mixture of spiritual power and the power of faith. Hmm...but the mixed spiritual power is not like the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is more like the natural spiritual energy .
[Sekiro]: Is that so? It is possible. After all, Ashina is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. There were many small gods in the mountains before. However, the power of faith is not a good thing. Faith comes from others, not from one's own strength.
[Clash of Clans]: Who said that? In those western fantasy novels, the power of faith is collected and then condensed into divinity to become gods, and the believers are the anchor of the gods.
[Guigu Bahuang]: The difference between gods and immortals. We haven't cultivated ourselves into gods yet, so why don't you try to cultivate yourself into a god, Xia Jiro?
[Sekiro]: Don’t call me Natsujiro! You can call me Ashina.
[Sekiro]: But forget about cultivating a god. I don’t have that idea. I ’d better try to train my white snake and see if I can make it transform as soon as possible.
[Sekiro]: But in this case, the Sakura Dragon must be eradicated. After all, the Sakura Dragon has taken root in this land, and will continuously absorb the power of the local gods, just like the revival of the Dragon's Heritage Power will absorb the vitality of the surrounding people. The Sakura Dragon may also be absorbing the power of the surrounding mountain gods to repair itself.
[Guigu Bahuang]: Indeed, the Sakura Dragon is an alien god. Well... you can try to feed the Sakura Dragon to your White Snake to see if you can make the White Snake evolve into a dragon. After all, the White Snake and the Sakura Dragon are both a kind of land god, and they are almost of the same origin.
[Sekiro]: That makes sense. When the time comes, we can just rob the Sakura Dragon's divine domain, and then eradicate the Sakura Dragon that is plaguing the entire Ashina. The Sakura Dragon's immortal power alone can give rise to the Water Shifter, the Insect Attacher, the Dragon's Offspring, the Koi King, and also turn the Ugami tribe into that horrible appearance.
[Guigu Bahuang]: Indeed, but even without the Sakura Dragon, Ashina would still die in the inner palace. It can only be said that the arrival of the Sakura Dragon has added some mysterious power to Ashina.
[Guigu Bahuang]: Your world is probably not simple. Even the Sakura Dragon, who directly affected the entire Ashina, escaped from the West. I'm afraid there are greater terrors in the West.
[Sekiro]: That’s why we have to establish diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty. After all, China is to the west of Japan. But it’s a bit early to say this now.
[Sekiro]@[Nioh 2]: By the way, please give me some of Xiu's demonic power, and I'll see if I can integrate it into the White Snake. After all, Xiu is the niece of the demon king Otakemaru, and the half-demon blood in her body is one of the noblest.
[Niou 2]: Don't worry, Xiu hasn't come back yet. She has been learning swordsmanship from the swordsmanship teacher I found for her these days.
[Sekiro]: Good man, you have completely replaced Toukichiro. Are you still thinking of learning from Toukichiro and becoming a ruler?
[Nioh 2]: Forget about the people of the world. I don't want to be entangled in affairs every day and not even have time to rest. I quite admire Oda Nobunaga, so let him be the leader. I will just make some decisions occasionally behind the scenes.
In the world of Nioh, the hermitage of counselors.
As a strategist, Niou Xia Yu naturally does not need to practice martial arts in normal times. Now that the plug-in has arrived, he no longer needs to practice.
At this moment, there was a small porcelain pot in front of him, with tender white tofu and salty and fragrant pickles rolling in the pot. There were also a few side dishes and a bottle of sake beside him.
Xia Yu half-lying on the tatami comfortably, picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"Eating pickled vegetables and rolling tofu, the emperor is not as good as me~"
Exhaling a breath of hot air, Xia Yu hummed Nine Clans Candy Crush while eating. He remembered this song from a TV series. It was a famous scene that he would never forget after watching it once.
"Master Xia Yu, Master Xiu is back."
Just as Xia Yu was taking a bite of fresh tofu and a sip of sake, the servant suddenly shouted outside the door.
"Tell her to come over and tell her I'm waiting for her here!"
"yes."
After sending the servants away, Xia Yu propped himself up, changed from half-lying to sitting cross-legged, then took out a wine glass and placed it aside.
Not long after, Xiu, a man with long white hair, walked in. He took off the sword from his waist and sat cross-legged in front of Xia Yu.
"Come, try the pickled vegetables and tofu. This is a top-quality ingredient."
Xia Yu casually pulled out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xiu who was looking at the porcelain pot curiously.
Xiu didn't hesitate to take the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu from the pot, and put it into his mouth.
"!"
As soon as Xiu put the tender tofu in his mouth, his violet eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the unremarkable porcelain pot with some surprise.
"Haha, it's delicious, right?"
Xia Yu chuckled. All the ingredients used in this dish were provided by Zombie Xia Yu. The other party’s ingredient red envelope contained a bunch of stored ingredients.
With the cooking skills provided by Zombie Xia Yu, each of them can be regarded as the strongest chef, but they are not as interested in cooking as Zombie Xia Yu.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiu nodded vigorously, and then kept eating the dishes in the pot. After a while, he drank up all the soup in the porcelain pot in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
Looking at the clean porcelain pot, Xiu felt a little embarrassed, as if she had accidentally eaten it all.
"It's okay. This is prepared for you. Come here, let me take a look at your throat."
Seeing that Xiu was a little embarrassed, Xia Yu shook his head, then waved to Xiu, indicating that he should come to his side .
Seeing this, Xiu didn't stand up, but crawled over with his hands on the ground, then opened his mouth towards Xia Yu.
“Ah~”
"Um……"
Xia Yu was a little upset when watching this scene, but looking at Xiu's big eyes that were ignorant of the world, he suppressed it with his willpower.
Just focus on your work and don't have any other thoughts.
It was indeed serious that he wanted to see Xiu, because Xiu was half-mute and could make some sounds but could not speak.
In order to allow the protagonist to freely shape his/her own style in the game, Xiu had to be designed to be a mute. However, in the story, there are also reasons why Xiu became a mute.
That is Kashin Koji, the grudge created after the death of Xiu's uncle, the demon king Otakemaru.
When Xiu was young, the other party suddenly found their family, killed her mother Shen Fangye, and stabbed Xiu in the throat.
Although Xiu survived after escaping, the injury to her throat left her unable to speak.
But there is a big problem with this. Because of Xiu's half-demon physique, she is almost immortal. Even if she really dies, she will just wander around in the underworld for a while and then return to the world of the living.
But even though she is so powerful, she can't even heal the wound on her throat. This is indeed a big problem.
While thinking, Xia Yu did not just stand there in a daze. Instead, he reached out and touched Xiu's white neck, using his spiritual power to explore the injury on her throat.
