Chapter 736: The Blessing Teapot
"Really? Why would my father want me to marry a fox?"

In the side hall of the Tanuki Palace, Ahfu, the enchantress of the Tanuki tribe, was pacing around impatiently.

Although Ah Fu is a female raccoon, she usually prefers to appear in a more human-like appearance.

Her general appearance was the same as that of a human girl, with long eyebrows and a pair of pink eyes. She was petite, wearing a brown yukata that was half open, revealing a corner of the white bra wrapped around her barren chest.

The biggest difference between it and humans is that it still has a pair of animal ears on its head and a big furry tail hanging behind it.

The raccoons are all good at transforming, so changing into human form is naturally easy for them.

But other raccoon monsters, especially male raccoon monsters... like Tuanwulang, to it——

My fangs are very handsome, I want to keep them!

The shiny fur is also beautiful, especially the hair covering the face, which presents a beautiful "mask" style, and is also retained!

There is also a pair of majestic "Moonlight", which is the symbol of the male raccoon, so of course it should be retained!
In short, because of this difference in aesthetic concepts, there is still a big difference in appearance between Ah Fu and his tribesmen.

In addition, another reason why Ah Fu's aesthetic is more human-oriented is that she spends more time directly interacting with humans than other members of the tribe.

A long, long time ago, when the Yaobali tribe still lived in harmony with humans, the young Afu often sneaked away to Matsuyama Castle.

In the human world, there is a story called "The Teapot of Blessings" that is widely circulated. It is said that -

A poor old woman who lived alone in Songshan City saw a raccoon trapped in a trap in the mountains one day. She felt sorry for the raccoon and released it.

That night, the raccoon appeared in the old woman's house. In order to thank the old woman for her help, it proposed to sell itself, which had been turned into a tea kettle, in exchange for money.

The next day, the old woman sold the tea kettle to an old monk.

The old monk took the tea kettle back to the temple, filled it with water, put it on a rack and boiled the water over fire. However, the raccoon cat that had turned into the tea kettle could not stand the heat, and cried "wow wow" as it turned back into half tea kettle and half raccoon cat and fled back to the old woman's home.

Next, the raccoon suggested turning the old woman into a tightrope walking tea kettle, so that he could use this as a way to perform and broaden the horizons of the nearby residents.

At the end of the story, because of the raccoon's actions, the old woman finally had some money that allowed her to spend her later years in relative peace.

In addition, the old monk who had bought the "Fenfu Tea Kettle" attracted a constant stream of pilgrims because the news of the running tea kettle in the temple spread. The temple became famous and its economic situation improved.

This story of "the raccoon cat repaying a favor" and "the sharing of tea kettles brings good luck" is actually related to Ah Fu.

These were some stupid things she did when she was still unable to completely transform into a human form and had only learned how to transform into a simple object.

In short, when Ah Fu sneaked into human society to play, he unexpectedly lived a pretty good life.

If Songshan Castle had not suddenly attacked the raccoon tribe, she might have continued to live in harmony with humans.

Let’s not talk about the past.

The raccoon demon girl, who has now mastered the art of illusion and even achieved the ability to visit strange creatures, is now in great distress.

Because she just learned that her father, Kamikakushi Geibu Tanuki, planned to marry her to a fox.

Ah Fu doesn't like foxes very much.

Although the aesthetic taste of foxes seems to be more similar to that of humans, foxes look cunning and sinister.

It's really not the type that Ah Fu likes.

What Ahfu is attracted to should be a monster that is big and strong, full of masculinity, and gives a sense of security at first glance.

"Father is so annoying!"

The enchantress of the raccoon tribe who dared to sneak into human society alone when she was a child, has a somewhat rebellious character.

Now that it concerns her marriage, after much thought, she decides to do something.

"I heard that Nirudo is dead. Without the obstruction of that great monster, perhaps I can leave Iyo?"

……

Imperial Palace.

The Kamikakushi Geibu Tanuki was drinking the wine that Kitsune Juroro had brought to him.

"belch--"

After drinking another jar of wine, Xingbu Li burped happily.

You know what, the wine that fox cub sent tastes really good.

Xingbu Rin has already considered the matter of Fox Shiliulang's proposal of marriage.

It did resent that at first.

But when you calm down and think back to what Fox Shiliulang said, it actually makes sense.

That fox cub is obviously a "celestial fox". In my current weak state, I may not be able to defeat him.

There is nothing to be gained by starting a war between a raccoon and a fox.

The old raccoon cat, Gebu Tanuki, is old and had lost his fighting spirit in the battle against Matsuyama Castle.

It really didn't want to go into all-out war with the fox again.

The external ghost forces are also a real trouble.

His men have not yet found out the specific information about the ghost forces.

Taking all these factors into consideration, it is indeed a very good idea to let the raccoon and fox tribes coexist peacefully to jointly deal with the likely external invasion, which will benefit both sides.

Otherwise, if the ghosts really attack, it will be too late to cooperate with the foxes.

Anyway, it’s not like the raccoon and fox tribes haven’t cooperated before.

It’s just that the foundation of the last cooperation was too weak. This time, if we can really use the marriage as an opportunity, coupled with external threats, we may be able to more stably promote peace between the two tribes.

But it is still uncertain whether Fox Shiliulang's proposal of marriage is truly for the future of the two tribes, or whether he has some other agenda.

"The foxes' little thoughts..."

To be honest, Xingbu Tanuki couldn't think of what conspiracy Kitsune Jushiro had for the time being.

The only thing I can think of is that if the ghosts really attack, the foxes might use me to fight the enemy.

But this is not actually a problem.

If the foxes really think so, it is not a bad thing.

Doesn't Yaobali also want to use Fox Shiliulang to fight against foreign enemies?
They are both thousand-year-old foxes, so it is hard to say which one is more cunning than the other.

"The ghost tribe... the ghost tribe... where do they come from? If they really came from Mount Oe... the ghost forces of Mount Oe seemed to have been defeated by humans a long time ago, right? I remember that even Shuten Douji was killed. If they are really the ghost tribe that is still alive, they can unite with the foxes and use Matsuyama as their base to wait for the enemy to attack. Even if there are some visits from the ghost tribe of a certain scale, it is possible that we cannot be prepared for them since they have traveled a long distance to come here."

Xingbu Li was holding the jar of wine, squinting his eyes, thinking like this.

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the hall.

Tuan Wulang stumbled in with his tail between his legs: "General, General, something bad has happened!"

"Tell me! What happened?"

Xingbu Li suddenly felt annoyed.

Why do I feel like every time this guy Tuan Goro comes into Yuli Palace, something bad happens?
Could it be that the ghosts are attacking?
Seeing the leader's unhappy look, Dangoro was trembling with fear, but had to report the emergency: "Fuji, Fuji she...she's gone!"

……

It is still the Iyo region of the past.

Somewhere on the edge of this area, the casket and a complex of shrine buildings of various styles were finally built.

This location was carefully selected by the little old man. It is located on the border of the Iyo block and is a certain distance away from the strongholds of the raccoon force and the fox force. It is just the right "birth point" for Kamiya River to explore the Tomoyo Iyo.

Not long after the sacred casket appeared here, the yellow-green fluorescence lurking on it seemed to be inspired by something and began to fly around like fireflies startled on a summer night.

The light particles swirled into a gorgeous vortex. In the center of the vortex, a feathered garment with a sword at the waist swayed out. The gorgeous black robe with gold thread was swaying in the air due to the light spots.

Kamiyagawa successfully arrived in Iyo using his usual old method.

“It’s quite big here.”

After Kamiya appeared, he first fixed his eyes and looked around.

"Abba! Abba!"

The scout clone waiting here excitedly echoed his master.

indeed.

The area of ​​Iyo is very vast, not inferior to the Aokigahara Forest occupied by our side.

Since it is a large map with a mountainous terrain, the resources and basic materials should be sufficient, and it is very suitable for long-term resource development.

No wonder the raccoon and fox tribes want to completely occupy this place.

Also, the reason why Maomao led the team to explore here before was because he felt that the resources and materials here were more abundant.

After completing the descent, Kamiya found a flat place near the sacred casket and fumbled for the "conductor key" of the Kisaragi train.

Using this strange prop, another building rose from the ground and turned into shape with a rumble.

Before Kamiyagawa personally explores the Changshi area, he first builds the infrastructure.

Wherever people go, there is a convenient transportation network.

This is also an old tradition of the Takama-ga-hara forces.

After the Ruyue Platform was formed, a few minutes later, a Ruyue train roared through the void and stopped smoothly at the edge of the platform.

The car door opened, and out came the Seven Imperial Guards, the Golden Bear Boy, and the Star Bear Boy.

"Inosuke, and Xingxiong, you two will come with me to visit the raccoon tribe. The rest of you, stay by the Kisaragi platform and wait for orders. Little old man, you stay here."

When Kamiya came to Iyo this time, he didn't intend to start a war right away.

The Cat Team defeated Nirudo in this area not long ago. Xingxiong was the person involved in this incident, and she was brought to see the raccoons mainly to discuss this matter.

Killing a wild god on someone else's territory requires some explanation.

In addition, there is an old grudge between Ino and Yaohachi.

Inao's death was unclear, and there are many doubts about the attack of the raccoons on the former Songshan Castle.

Kamiyagawa felt that there was something wrong.

There are some hidden secrets that Ino has never fully understood.

The purpose of coming here this time is to sort out these old things.

Although both incidents seem to be somewhat sharp, the "peace-loving" Takama-hara forces still intend to "use courtesy first" and seek reconciliation if possible, and whether to "use force later" will depend on the situation.

Even if the raccoon forces really have an irreconcilable hostility with Takamagahara...

Then isn't there a group of fox demons in this place who could potentially be won over and trained to become "pro-Takama-ga-hara forces"?

Another thing is to arrange for the remaining six emperors and Jin Xiong to stay around Kisaragi Station.

The station has been built, so of course we have to take a good look at it first.

If we could reach a reconciliation and consensus with a certain local force in Iyo, this place would become a hub for the flow of people and communication.

After all, the Golden Bear has the strength of a wild god, and among the six remaining imperial guards, Miyauchi Chihiro is the most intelligent.

This configuration has both strength and wisdom. Even if a fox demon or a raccoon demon really discovered the Iyo area during Kamiya River's exploration, unnecessary bloody conflict would not occur before the situation became completely clear.

When everything was ready, Kamiya called the scouts, Inao and Hoshiguma and headed directly towards Iyo Matsuyama.

Among them, Hoshiguma Douji took a few steps forward, then looked back at Kisaragi Station and the Takamagahara Shrine, his expression a little subtle.

Although Kamiya led the team here this time, he said he was going to Iyo to check out the situation.

But the Iyo area looks really good and suitable for development.

And Kamiya has already built the shrine and the station...

Kamiya River's intentions are clear as day!

Xingxiong has some experience in this regard.

According to past procedures, once Kamiya built these two infrastructures in a certain area of ​​the world, it would not be long before the area would be covered by the influence of the Takama-ga-hara forces and eventually become part of the Takama-ga-hara forces' territory.

Although there are local monster forces in Iyo, it is not an ownerless place.

But Kamiya Kawa and his shrewd subordinates are extremely good at power operations.

Especially for Isohime, Xingxiong felt that the intelligent mermaid princess was always learning and absorbing new ideas.

In the past high-level meetings, Xingxiong had even heard from Isohime more than once about the policies and guidelines for the development of power, such as -

A series of strange terms such as "means of production", "industrialization model to expand production", "capital technology export", "civilization mission", "external oppression is not conducive to the unification of the world", "attracting external monster labor influx", "prohibition of discrimination policy", "equal rights protection", "improvement of living standards", and "realization of monster assimilation".

In short, even Xing Xiong, who has not yet fully understood this theory, can confirm one thing:
Given the current size of the Takama-ga-hara forces and their internal operating model, they can achieve a dimensionality reduction strike against any small-scale monster forces that may exist in the ordinary world.

And this kind of attack is definitely not just at the level of military force.

Kamiya Kawa and his men really have many countermeasures to achieve control over the entire Changshi.

Hoshiguma had a hunch that with Kamiya's arrival, Iyo would probably become a "vassal force" of Takama-ga-hara.

Even if no force is resorted to, the resources and monster labor here will probably flow into the core controlled area of ​​Takama-ga-hara in a more gentle way of communication.

How terrible...

People like Kamiyagawa.

However, as a member of the Takama-ga-hara forces, he is the representative of the demon clan.

Xingxiong felt that it was very necessary for him to learn the management ideas of expanding operational power from Isohime and others.

Anyway, we certainly can't count on Golden Bear to learn these things.

That guy himself is very well controlled.
