When Tamamo-mae was sealed to Kanda Shrine, Japan was still in the late Warring States Period, and her impression of the outside world remained 400 years ago.
When he returned to Lu Xiao's high-end mansion in Shirogane Hills, Minato District, Tamamo Mae raised his hands to cover his mouth in surprise.
The external environment is completely inconsistent with her memory, and the 400-year cognitive gap cannot be easily repaired.
"This...is this the world now?"
Tamamo Mae's voice was trembling with excitement. The feeling of regaining freedom was so wonderful that she temporarily ignored the fact that the air quality in today's world is much worse than during the Warring States Period.
After spending several hours in the shrine, Lu Xiao and the others returned to the outside world at noon.
Shikigami do not need to eat, their food is their master's spiritual power.
After Lu Xiao and Yongzhen's bodies were transformed by soul materialization, eating became less necessary.
However, in order to maintain the habit of being a human being, Lu Xiao still went to a restaurant near the residential area to enjoy a delicious lunch with Yongzhen.
Strolling in the quiet high-end residential street, Lu Xiao used his own unique way to connect the souls of Tamamo Mae and Yongzhen to communicate.
"Tamamo-mae, I have a question to ask you."
Tamamo Mae was very curious about the modern streetscape around her. She kept looking around excitedly along the way, hoping to adapt to the new living environment as soon as possible.
"Excuse me, sir. Also, just call me Xiaodama. This is the name I used when I lived in Edo."
"Edo..."
Lu Xiao smiled and pointed at his feet: "The city we are in is the former Edo, but it was renamed Tokyo many years ago."
"Edo?!"
Tamamo Mae looked around in astonishment: "...It's unbelievable, there are no traces of Edo anywhere nearby."
Lu Xiao shrugged: "After all, more than 400 years have passed."
"Back to business."
Lu Xiao looked at Tamamo Mae curiously: "You are different from Yongzhen's other shikigami. You are not at your best yet. How can you return to the peak strength of the Nine-tailed Fox?"
"Well..."
Tamamo pondered for a moment: "According to common sense, I only need to consume a large amount of spiritual power to restore my strength."
"The master's total amount of spiritual power is already outstanding among human onmyojis, but without causing too much impact on the master himself, it will take at least 200-300 years for me to return to my peak."
"Humans can't live this long, right?"
Lu Xiao said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true. At least your master's lifespan is definitely more than a few hundred years."
"Spiritual power..."
Ignoring Tamamo Mae's confused look, Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Yongzhen, stretch out your hand."
Yongzhen obediently handed his hand to Lu Xiao.
Following the magic circuit connecting the two, Lu Xiao continuously injected his magic power into Yongzhen's body.
"Xiaoyu, try if you can absorb my magic power."
"Huh? Oh, let me see."
After regaining consciousness, Tamamo closed her eyes and tried to use Yongzhen as a relay to directly absorb the magic power transferred from Lu Xiao.
"this……"
The quality of Lu Xiao's magic power was far higher than that of Yong Zhen. Just after inhaling a little, a drunken blush suddenly appeared on Tamamo Mae's face.
"Is this quality of spiritual power... really something humans can achieve?"
Lu Xiao looked at Tamamo Mae's increasingly rosy face with questions on his face: "Drunken with magic power? Do you still have such a strange physique?"
The difficulty of Tamamo-mae's tail training increases exponentially. It only took her less than a hundred years to grow the first three tails, and the difficulty becomes more and more difficult as she goes to the back.
"biu~"
As a strange sound effect came out, a big furry tail grew out from behind Tamamo Mae's butt.
Yongzhen was quite surprised by this: "So fast?"
When he walked to the door of his house, Lu Xiao let go of the hands held by Yongzhen, and the magic channel between the two was naturally closed.
"Huh~"
Tamamo Mae let out a sigh of relief, happily holding the fourth tail in front of her and stroking it gently.
"Such pure spiritual power. If I can continue to provide the same amount every day, I can return to the heyday of Kyuubi in 30 years at most."
"30 years?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and laughed: "I don't plan to spend such a long time grinding it off."
"Now is the time to employ people. Whenever I have time, I will transfer magic power to you and help you regain your strength as much as possible within a year."
Tamamo Mae looked at Lu Xiao doubtfully: "I have no problem, but sir, can your spiritual power hold up?"
During the time when Lu Xiao and Tamamo Mae were communicating, Yongzhen kept looking at Tamamo Mae's snow-white furry tail, as if he wanted to stroke it but was afraid of being rude.
Tamamo Mae didn't care much about this. She noticed the look in her master's eyes, and she generously put the other three tails in front of Yongzhen.
Holding the three tails that had no peculiar smell, Yongzhen rubbed them against each other with a satisfied look on his face: "It's so fluffy~ so comfortable."
It was rare to see Yongzhen showing a girlish heart. Lu Xiao smiled silently and continued to explain to Tamamo Mae: "My magic power is endless, you don't have to worry about draining me dry."
"unlimited?!"
Tamamo Mae opened her mouth: "...Sir, are you really a human being?"
…
In Asgard's Golden Palace, Thor, wearing a gorgeous dress and holding Gangnir in his hand, sat majestically on the throne, looking at the five "people" in the audience with a careful look.
"Star-Lord Peter Quill, Gamora the daughter of Thanos, Rocket... Raccoon, Groot the Tree Man, Drax the Destroyer."
Rocket Raccoon interrupted Thor rudely: "Hey, why did you pause when you read my name?"
"cough!"
Loki coughed lightly and reminded: "Quiet, stuffed creature, you are facing the ruler of the nine realms."
Thor didn't pay attention to Rocket Raccoon's rudeness, and looked at the five people of different shapes with a half-smile: "Guardians of the Galaxy, welcome to Asgard."
"I don't like to talk nonsense. Let's keep the story short."
"clang!"
After placing the eternal spear Gungnil on the ground, Thor stood up and walked down from the throne.
The energy ripples caused by Gangnir's landing made Star-Lord and others a little unsteady on their feet. This was also a sign of Thor's power, allowing them to understand the identity and strength gap between the two sides.
Thor ignored Star-Lord Quill, who looked surprised, and walked directly to Gamora: "The adopted daughter of Thanos, the last orphan of the Zehouberi tribe, I have an important task that I want to entrust to you."
"Hey!" Quil stood in front of Gamora unhappily: "I am the leader of the team, you should have asked me first..."
Gamora pulled Quill away, looked directly into Thor's eyes and asked without humility: "What do you want me to do?"
Thor turned his head and winked at Loki, and the God of Mischief immediately used illusions to outline three items between Thor and Gamora.
"I need you to return to Thanos' flagship Temple Two and quietly steal these three weapons."
Thor raised his hand and clicked on the colored gem: "Can the power gem, Thanos's double-headed sword and giant ax made of Uru metal do it?"
Gamora's eyes flickered: "Your commission is too difficult, I don't think it will succeed."
"What if, I mean if I stole his weapon, what would I get in return?"
Thor imitated Lu Xiao and smiled meaningfully, but his expression still looked a bit silly.
"Asgard's eternal friendship, and what you want in your life..."
