Chapter 728

"Alright, little sister."

"Although Mr. Jiang Yan said we cannot stay overnight, we must have lunch."

In the end, Kamisato Ayato could no longer bear to watch.

There was no choice; who could blame Kamisato Ayato for disliking the sight of his own sister looking so dejected?

"Isn't that right, Mr. Jiang Yan?"

As he spoke, Kamisato Ayato also looked toward Jiang Yan.

"Of course!"

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Because that was exactly what he had originally planned.

After all, if he were to refuse even this small request, it would truly be inappropriate.

Since Jiang Yan agreed to stay at the Kamisato residence for lunch, Kamisato Ayaka's previously gloomy mood improved significantly.

She tugged on Jiang Yan's sleeve and chattered endlessly about some recent events in her life.

Recently, since the head of the Kamisato household and his wife, the Lady, retired.

The Kamisato siblings took over all the major and minor affairs of the family.

Originally, Kamisato Ayato had intended to accept all the responsibilities.

All the household matters, large and small, plus the various affairs within the Yashiro Commission, were to be shouldered by him alone.

However, Kamisato Ayaka did not agree and voluntarily took on the management of household affairs.

After all, he was her own dear brother, and Kamisato Ayaka could not bear to see him so busy.

This is precisely why Kamisato Ayaka has not visited Jiang Yan's home in these past two years.

Because she was simply too busy.

The household affairs, though they appear insignificant.

Are indeed extremely tedious.

Listening to Kamisato Ayaka's narration, Jiang Yan did not interrupt but simply listened quietly to what the other person was saying.

Little Ayaka has grown up.

Jiang Yan felt a sense of gratification in his heart.

After a simple lunch, Jiang Yan left the Kamisato residence.

He still had many things to do.

However, the Kamisato Estate is quite close to the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Following the principle of proximity, Jiang Yan planned to go to the Grand Narukami Shrine first to visit Kitsune Saiguu.

As he thought this, a Chuansong Sect appeared behind Jiang Yan.

On the Sacred Sakura Tree, Jiang Yan's figure slowly materialized.

However, he did not see Kitsune Saiguu.

Originally, he had thought Kitsune Saiguu would be in this location.

Jiang Yan looked left and right but could not find any trace of Kitsune Saiguu.

Indeed, she is not here.

Kitsune Saiguu must not be at the Grand Narukami Shrine.

After Jiang Yan activated his Cosmic Perception and confirmed that he still could not find Kitsune Saiguu.

Jiang Yan simply expanded his Cosmic Perception across the entire Narukami Island.

"Hmm?"

What is Kitsune Saiguu doing in Konda Village?

Jiang Yan's eyebrows furrowed.

Raiden Ei and Raiden Makoto were not here.

In his confusion, Jiang Yan activated the Chuansong Sect again and arrived beside Kitsune Saiguu.

"What are you busy with?"

Jiang Yan wrapped his arms around Kitsune Saiguu's slender waist and asked softly.

"Ah! How did you get here?"

Kitsune Saiguu was startled by Jiang Yan's sudden appearance, but then said joyfully.

"I missed you, so I came specifically to see what you were doing."

Jiang Yan chuckled and lightly kissed Kitsune Saiguu's soft fox ears.

The fox ears are the most sensitive part of Kitsune Saiguu's body; this light kiss from Jiang Yan caused her to tremble slightly.

"You're so annoying!"

Kitsune Saiguu lightly tapped Jiang Yan, her eyes filled with playful reproach.

"You haven't answered my question yet. What are you busy with? Why did you suddenly come to Konda Village?"

Jiang Yan buried his head in Kitsune Saiguu's snow-white hair, lightly inhaling the faint fragrance on her body.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Kitsune Saiguu's neck felt ticklish from Jiang Yan's actions, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"The Sacred Sakura Tree needs to undergo the Sacred Sakura Purification ritual every so often, and I was just preparing to begin."

Kitsune Saiguu told Jiang Yan about recent events.

Jiang Yan knew about the Sacred Sakura Purification.

Because in the storyline, it was after Kitsune Saiguu's death that she condensed into Hanakanzashi to perform the Sacred Sakura Purification.

And in this life, Kitsune Saiguu did not die, and the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura is held normally every year.

Jiang Yan knew that such a Great Purification of the Divine Sakura usually carries no great danger.

After all, Jiang Yan had experienced it a few times before.

It is merely to cleanse away some filth.

With Kitsune Saiguu present, these are all small problems.

"Then I will go to the Tenshukaku to wait for you; once you are finished, we will have a meal together."

Jiang Yan said to Kitsune Saiguu.

"Good!"
