Chapter 500: 174. Wedding Night_3
Four eyes met, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she brought her rosily alluring face closer and proactively kissed Fujiwara Reya.
She rarely took the initiative.
Fujiwara Reya felt a wave of happiness within, gently holding her cheeks to bring them closer.
"...Mmm."
Kawashima Miki’s mind went blank, her breathing incredibly rapid.
She didn’t want to think about anything now, her eyes tightly closed, long eyelashes gently trembling, hands uneasily pushing against his shoulders, trying to pull away.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Fujiwara Reya looked down at her.
With a delicate face as warm and smooth as jade, her skin was fair and radiant, indescribably beautiful.
Kawashima Miki also knew today was particularly important, and she turned her face to the side with her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes occasionally trembled, her white hands clenched into fists.
Fujiwara Reya gazed at her without blinking: "Can I make a request?"
"What?" Kawashima Miki asked cautiously, opening her eyes.
"Change into the Empress’s outfit!" Fujiwara Reya urged.
A touch of shyness crossed Kawashima Miki’s face.
"You’re bad~!"
Mumbling, she got up and walked to the wardrobe, rummaging through the clothes she had brought until she found the dress she wore on arrival.
With her back to Fujiwara Reya, Kawashima Miki bent over, her snow-white skin arched high.
The candlelight cast on her complexion, a thin blush spreading across the delicate white, intoxicating like fine wine.
Her movements elegant and serene, yet not lacking in allure.
After putting on her pantyhose, Kawashima Miki slipped her small black silk feet into high heels, slightly tidied her hair and skirt, and lazily turned around.
Seeing Fujiwara Reya, whose eyes had reached their limit, she smiled shyly, walking over.
The shy and timid look perfectly matched her current identity - a newlywed wife awaiting her husband’s affection.
"Perfect!"
Fujiwara Reya ran up to her, embracing her.
His wife’s body was perfect.
Long legs, a soft abdomen, slender arms.
Every inch of her skin was full of vitality, highly elastic, and delightful to touch. Especially that beautiful face, eyes shimmering, rosy cheeks, lips slightly parted, exuding a charming allure.
Fujiwara Reya lowered his head and gave her a strong kiss.
"Ah~!"
Kawashima Miki’s voice was trembling.
Fujiwara Reya looked at her small, flushed face, her round cheeks radiating an inexplicable allure. She held tightly onto his arms, her features almost scrunched together, biting her lower lip, looking overwhelmed.
With only her right toe supporting her body, her right leg soon felt sore and weak.
Kawashima Miki covered her face and turned her head to the left, suppressing her voice, stubbornly saying: "You’ll pay for this later!"
"How about showing me what you’ve got now?" Fujiwara Reya hugged her waist, not letting go.
"You!"
Kawashima Miki turned her head, clutching his arms tightly.
She frowned, looking fierce, but her breaths became increasingly labored. After a while, unable to bear his gaze, she closed her eyes and turned her face away.
The two of them were at a stalemate for a while, neither moved...
Kawashima Miki frowned tightly, shaking her head from side to side.
Whenever bullied in the past, she always had such an embarrassed expression, which Fujiwara Reya admired with delight. In a moment of urgency, Kawashima Miki suddenly pinched his arm forcefully and patted a few times, struggling to articulate "I won’t spare you."
"What?" Fujiwara Reya asked with amusement.
"Hurry up..." Kawashima Miki’s voice was pitifully small, so shy she practically wanted to dig a hole to bury herself in.
Fujiwara Reya grinned: "As you command, Madam!"
In the flickering candlelight, the pointed black high heels wobbled, drawing chaotic lines, an indescribable temptation.

The door gently opened.
Yukino Ritsuko’s silver-white hair swayed gently.
Hovering on her heels, her toes lightly touched the floor, she floated over, her white jade fingertips holding the waistband of her dress. Inside the room, time seemed to stand still; Kawashima Miki lay wearily across the red sheet, the gold silk embroidery like inlays enhancing her rosy skin, making her appear noble and unmatched in beauty.
Beside her, Fujiwara Reya was still full of energy.
Yukino Ritsuko merely glanced, floating towards Fujiwara Reya.
Pale fingertips pulled open the waistband, she sat on his lap, everything done so swiftly it surprised Fujiwara Reya a little... but thinking about it, this swiftness was normal for a Snow Woman, a creature naturally calm yet resolute, her long silver-white hair like willow branches swaying in the wind.
Kawashima Miki pulled the quilt over herself.
"Here, eat this."
Yukino Ritsuko took out two boxes, each containing the medicine Fukaeri had taken before.
After becoming a Snow Woman, her demeanor dramatically changed from before, as if a different persona long dormant within her had awakened, claiming both her spirit and body.
Upon swallowing the pills, her demonic power erupted uncontrollably, briefly letting out a bird-like foreign sound, while a calm smile hung on her lips.

After the Mountain God festival, autumn arrived.
The noisy cicadas’ cries gradually diminished after entering September, soon replaced by the calls of autumn insects. The green trees in the streets and lanes of Tokyo had leaves gradually turning golden.
The newly renovated Asakusa Shrine reopened to the public in mid-September.
Currently, the visitor flow was not voluminous, requiring time to attract guests, and an event to boost its reputation. The original White Mountain Shrine also changed to Asakusa’s Secondary Shrine, attracting more visitors than the main shrine due to its existing worshipers.
Kawashima Miki perfectly fulfilled the role of being the chief wife, running tirelessly between Asakusa Shrine and the Empress’s bathhouse, earning as much income as possible for the family and aiding her husband’s strength growth. Yukino Ritsuko still operated her small bakery, not aiming high, spending almost all her free time at Asakusa Shrine, either cleaning, taking care of Fujiwara Reya’s daily needs, or making him heaps of dark cuisine.
Fujiwara Reya spent most of his time with Kasahara Fumi.
In the alley next to [Oasis Couples Café], nestled together in a van, they stalked, eavesdropped, and spied. Their target was the Fox Girl named "Shizuka." He and Fumi were like stealthy hunters, quietly waiting for the fox to reveal its tail.
Communication with juniors and seniors had paused momentarily due to busy official duties.
However, it didn’t matter, Fujiwara Reya believed he had enough charisma and shamelessness to ensure success one day.
