It has been a week since Chiyo successfully underwent Reincarnation, and during this time, Chiyo has gradually become familiar with and adapted to this new body.
Chiyo even sparred with Ei a few times to quickly adapt to the body's strength and combat power.
Although this body's physical strength was far inferior to her original pure-blooded Oni body, it had the advantage of lacking pain and fatigue, as well as the blessing of an immortal body.
Because of this, Chiyo could recklessly adopt a 'trade injury for injury' approach when sparring with Ei to gain the upper hand.
From a martial arts skill perspective alone, Chiyo, with her immortal body, was even more ferocious in combat than Ei.
This satisfied Chiyo greatly, but the Impure World Reincarnation body wasn't without its downsides.
The lack of taste, touch, and smell prevented Chiyo from fully experiencing the beauty of life, but these were things Chiyo could accept.
The only thing that bothered her was the dense network of cracks all over her body and face; although her appearance and figure were much the same as they were five hundred years ago, those irreparable, dense cracks still made the beauty-loving Chiyo a bit depressed.
Chiyo's reappearance undoubtedly gave Inazuma a shot in the arm, slightly compensating for Inazuma's lack of high-level combat power; an immortal, Adeptus-level combatant is a treasure in any nation.
It's a pity that the great Yokai of Inazuma are almost extinct now, not to mention the Oni tribe to which Chiyo belonged; there are very few people left who can recognize Chiyo's identity.
Even Chiyo's own Mikoshi family, after five hundred years of worldly changes, probably wouldn't recognize their own ancestor.
Miko Chiyo had two sons: one was her biological, pure-blooded Oni son, Mikoshi Doukei, and the other was her adopted human son, Mikoshi Nagamasa.
Mikoshi Doukei, unable to accept his mother's rebellion, retreated to the mountains and never married, effectively ending the Mikoshi family's pure Oni bloodline with him.
As an adopted son, Mikoshi Nagamasa chose to join the Shogunate Army to restore the family's prestige, and because of this, the Mikoshi family still has a presence in Inazuma City today, though it has completely transformed into a human family.
While traveling in Inazuma City, Chiyo secretly observed the current generation's two Mikoshi brothers, Mikoshi Genichiro and Mikoshi Genjiro.
Coincidentally, the elder brother, Mikoshi Genichiro, had a somewhat submissive personality like Doukei, while the younger brother, Mikoshi Genjiro, had a strong ambition like Nagamasa.
This gave Chiyo a sense of uncanny déjà vu: then, as now.
After visiting the descendants of the Mikoshi family, Chiyo was very interested in the last remaining Red Oni in Inazuma City; however, after glancing at Arataki Itto, Chiyo was silent for a moment before quietly turning and leaving.
There's a reason why the Oni tribe has fallen into such decline; this is simply too embarrassing for the Red Oni clan.
Although she was a powerful warrior, as someone proficient in song and dance, she was at least a cultured Oni.
Arataki Itto's appearance reminded Chiyo of a good friend of hers—Otogi Daio—he was exactly like him; that Red Oni, who had never beaten her, also seemed to have died in that battle.
Influenced by Hu Tao and Zhongli of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Chiyo felt that the Mikoshi family's brothers, and that unreliable Arataki Itto, might possibly be the reincarnated souls of her two sons and Otogi Daio.
A ray of warm sunlight streamed into the room in the Regent's Office's backyard, causing Miyashiro, still deep in sleep, to squint his eyes.
Miyashiro opened his hazy eyes and immediately felt two cool, soft bodies lying beside him.
That's right, two!
Shenhe and Sara!
It had been almost half a month since Miyashiro returned to Inazuma; Sara finally couldn't endure the torment of every night and voluntarily revealed the truth to Shenhe, and Shenhe had already guessed what was happening given Sara's behavior during this time, so everything fell into place naturally.
It was precisely because Sara chose to completely break through that layer of unspoken understanding that Miyashiro's suspicions finally had an answer.
Watching Sara retrieve that bedsheet with faint plum blossom imprints from his room, Miyashiro finally confirmed that on the night he left Inazuma to serve as an envoy to Liyue, he had indeed been ambushed by Sara.
It must be said, the Tengu tribe's physique is truly terrifying; whether it's stamina, endurance, or even body flexibility, they are all top-tier, making Miyashiro incredibly happy.
After subjecting Sara to some 'interrogation,' Sara finally explained the reason for the night ambush to Miyashiro.
It was actually very simple: Ei and Yae Miko learned of Shenhe's existence, especially since Miyashiro had once said he wanted to settle in Liyue before he became Regent.
This made the talent-cherishing Ei feel a crisis; after secretly consulting Yae Miko, Yae Miko offered a solution: to make Miyashiro develop a bond with Inazuma far exceeding that with Liyue.
So, Ei took the initiative, creating the position of Regent without consulting Miyashiro, tightly linking Miyashiro and Inazuma together.
Secondly, it was a honey trap; if Liyue had a woman who haunted Miyashiro's dreams, then Inazuma could too, and Sara, who had a special affection for Miyashiro, was the most suitable candidate.
What's more, as a mischievous fox, Yae Miko, having lived for so many years, naturally saw at a glance that no substantive relationship had occurred between Miyashiro and Shenhe; that is to say, Miyashiro at the time was still just a virgin with a lustful heart and courage.
So, Yae Miko came up with such a mischievous trick: she added her special sedative and aphrodisiac to the drinks at that night's banquet, simultaneously knocking out Miyashiro and having Sara, who also had feelings for Miyashiro, take him back to his room.
As for what happened next, everyone can use their imagination; in short, it was a battle that lasted for more than ten hours.
When Miyashiro learned the full story from Sara, he couldn't help but grit his teeth at that mischievous fox.
This should be the second time he had been tricked by Yae Miko; although this result was what Miyashiro wanted, it was just too devious; after all, it sacrificed his and Sara's first time, and he didn't feel anything at all, which was too much of a loss.
If he had the chance, he would definitely get his revenge on that mischievous fox!
Thus, Miyashiro's first love was given to Shenhe, but his virginity was given to Sara.
In short, after last night, the Uchiha surname before Sara's name became even more legitimate, also announcing that the Inazuma faction had officially joined Miyashiro's harem.
Just as Miyashiro wanted to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives, an unfortunate piece of news finally reached Miyashiro's ears.
Sumeru Akademiya's entry approval had finally come through, which meant Miyashiro's diplomatic journey had to set sail again.
