Chapter 688
And the hope for resurrecting Lady Saiguu lay with Han Feng.
According to their previous discussions—hers, Ei's, and Makoto's—they had intended to use helping Han Feng film videos as their compensation.
However, that would take time.
After witnessing the happy times since Makoto's resurrection, and after experiencing the little fox form yesterday,
Miko's heart missed that Matriarch even more.
She missed the time they had spent together five hundred years ago.
So, she truly could not wait any longer.
Thinking of this, Miko pursed her lips lightly, then turned to look at Han Feng.
"Han Feng, I have a request."
"A request?"
"Hmm… could it be related to Kitsune Saiguu?"
Watching Miko's serious expression, Han Feng pondered for a moment.
Kitsune Saiguu?
Hearing this name, the gazes of Ei, Makoto, and Ayaka all turned toward them.
"You guessed it?"
Miko was surprised.
"The only things that could make the beautiful and wise Guuji Yae look so serious are fried tofu and the people around you."
"There is plenty of fried tofu, and Ei and Makoto are both here."
"I suppose it can only be the Matriarch of your White Fox lineage."
Han Feng said with a light smile.
"I didn't expect you to understand me so well, Han Feng…"
The cunning fox blinked flirtatiously at Han Feng, then said with a touch of nostalgia,
"Lady Saiguu, like Makoto, fell during the catastrophe of that year."
"Before she left, she used fried tofu to trick me into succeeding her as the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine."
"Afterward, she fought against the pitch-black calamity to protect Narukami Island, and was ultimately swallowed by it."
"I still remember the back of Lady Saiguu as she left."
"I just never expected that to be the last time I saw her."
Speaking of these past events, Miko's tone became sorrowful.
She was one of her most important family members.
If one were to count by bloodline, she was even more important than Makoto and Ei!
Hearing Miko's words, Ei and Makoto fell silent.
Ei was silent because she had personally experienced that ordeal.
【Do not be blinded, do not be shaken, and continue to walk the path you believe in.】
This was the maxim Kitsune Saiguu had given her before they parted.
Ei had indeed done so.
But the direction had been wrong.
"I have failed you, Saiguu."
Ei's eyes were complex.
Compared to Ei, Makoto's eyes were filled with sadness.
Although she had not experienced that scene herself, judging from her own experiences in Khaenri'ah and Miko's words,
she could imagine the farewell between the friends at that time!
It was a pity she could not see her one last time.
Seeing the sorrowful appearance of the three great figures, Ayaka also fell silent.
Although she had never met Lady Kitsune Saiguu, she had learned a little about her from Inazuman books.
Ayaka felt great admiration for her.
Without their sacrifice, Inazuma might have been destroyed in that calamity.
If there was a chance, she would definitely want to thank her in person.
This was the most sincere gratitude from the heart of an Inazuman citizen!
"Saiguu, huh…"
Han Feng's tone was also filled with emotion.
She was the most important figure in Inazuma's backstory!
Because almost all of Inazuma's historical figures were connected to her in one way or another.
Besides the three of them—Makoto, Ei, and Miko—
the Tengu Clan Chief had gone into self-imposed exile out of guilt!
The youth from the Shimenawa Reminiscence story could not forget her!
Ioroi had treated the smoking pipe she once used as a treasure!
And there was Ioroi!
Before the calamity occurred, Kitsune Saiguu, fearing he would die in battle against a powerful enemy, had tricked Ioroi into hiding under the guise of a contest of magic.
He had been hiding for hundreds of years…
Ioroi was still waiting for her to return.
In addition, there were the Konda and Shibami clans, as well as the ancestor of the Inagi clan of the Shrine, Inagi Hotomi!
Taken together, Kitsune Saiguu was truly an extraordinary woman!
She was about the same as Klee's mother!
Yet such an extraordinary woman had fallen in the catastrophe five hundred years ago to protect her country.
Leaving behind only the sorrowful story of Hanachirusato.
The Yaksha in Liyue were much the same.
However, they were there because of dealing with the corpses of gods and monsters.
Each of these character stories left one feeling unsatisfied.
It was one thing to be "cut" (hurt by tragedy) in the game, but they wanted to do it in reality too?
Watch me fix all of these tragedies!
I'll have these people go to HoYoverse as a group later!
Let those planners at HoYoverse taste the bitterness of being "cut" themselves!
Thinking of this, Han Feng put down his teacup and said seriously to Miko.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
He had been wondering how to reward the Inazuma group.
Now it seemed this was perfect.
There probably wasn't a gift more appropriate than resurrecting Kitsune Saiguu!
"Really?"
Hearing this, Miko became excited.
Ei and Makoto were the same, their gazes filled with fervor.
"Yes!"
Han Feng nodded with a smile.
Then, with a thought, a card appeared in his hand.
It was the god-tier card 【Monster Reborn】.
The three-day cooldown had passed; it was time to show its edge once again.
"Souls return, Kitsune Saiguu, come back…"
Han Feng whispered softly.
As he spoke, the card in his hand turned into light and dissipated.
Accompanied by a mysterious power, rays of light drifted in from the distant horizon.
Then they gathered in the villa's main hall and began to coalesce.
