Moreover, Eriri will recover soon, and it would be quite troublesome for her to talk to Eriri herself.

"Phew, these talismans are really hard to draw! Although it doesn't consume much true energy, the requirements for drawing talismans are high, and the materials are also limited. If I didn't have the Tongtian Talisman, I would never have succeeded!" In Fang Yan's study, he kept drawing strange talismans on Xuan paper.
To Fang Yan's dismay, the power of the relatively simple lightning talisman he had drawn seemed somewhat weak.
If I could unleash a large number of talismans during a battle, it might have a good effect.
However, Fang Yan himself has other fighting styles!
He was ultimately not a Taoist priest who fought using talismans.
"It seems that using lightning talismans for Dad, Mom, and Erina as protective charms won't work!" Fang Yan said helplessly. "It's too inefficient. If we really encounter any ghosts or monsters, we'll probably need a lot of talismans to be effective!"
Of course, Fang Yan would never admit that his drawing talent was really too low. Even when copying the patterns in the Amazing Scripture, Fang Yan's scribbles took many attempts before he succeeded. It was a complete waste of the Tongtian Talisman skill.
"However, it seems the Yin-Yang Incantation and the Heavenly Talisman are indeed very compatible!" Fang Yan then scribbled on the Xuan paper, and almost in the blink of an eye, a talisman with special symbols was drawn, radiating a faint glow.
Chapter 40
"Due to the materials used, while the power of this Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream is less than a third of the power of my own Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream, its energy consumption is comparable to, or even slightly more than, a normal use of the Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream!" Fang Yan murmured.
However, compared to the lightning talisman, the talismans of the Myriad Leaves Flying Flowers style are far superior. They can even attack automatically. If I had better materials and mastered the Heavenly Talisman even further, I have a feeling I could unleash seventy or eighty percent of the power of the Myriad Leaves Flying Flowers style. That would be enough!
Thinking of this, Fang Yan's face lit up with joy. Was it strong to have 70-80% of his power?
Perhaps compared to those powerful figures who can destroy the world at will, let alone seventy or eighty percent of his power, even if his power were increased seven or eight hundred times, it wouldn't be enough. But for this world where spiritual energy has just begun to recover, he is already very strong.
"Since the 'Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers' technique works, then the next one will be 'Soul Soaring Dragon'!" Immediately afterwards, Fang Yan tried to draw the talisman for "Soul Soaring Dragon," and after failing three times, he succeeded once.
This made Fang Yan very satisfied. Although it was quite taxing on him, thanks to the Fairy Talisman, his true energy recovery speed was twice as fast as yesterday. If Fang Yan needed it, he could make 20 of these Soul-Dragon-Wandering Talismans a day.
Such a talisman is sufficient to provide for those around them, ensuring their safety.
Fang Yan himself might also be able to play a role in the battle.
Some special spells, such as the Six Souls Terror Curse, require a certain amount of time to prepare. However, if combined with these talismans, although they cannot be cast instantly, the time can be shortened considerably. Some talismans can even be drawn in advance and then used to ambush people without anyone knowing.
From another perspective, the Tongtian Talisman greatly enhanced his combat power, especially in the area of cunning and maneuvering.
It seems I have the potential to develop into a cunning and scheming person.
With these thoughts in mind, Fang Yan began drawing talismans with great enthusiasm, aiming to provide protection for those around him while also becoming more familiar with the Tongtian Talisman.
"Click!" Just around ten o'clock, Fang Yan's door was opened. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. She's here!
"Fang Yan, where are you?" The person who came was none other than the true heroine, Erina Nakiri. After entering Fang Yan's house, she observed the shoes at the door, took off her own shoes, took out her own slippers, put them on, and skillfully placed the ingredients she was holding in the kitchen before speaking to Fang Yan.
Erina Nakiri: Waaaaah, as the female lead, I only really appeared in chapter 40. Does this make me the slowest-appearing true female lead on Feilu?
Dancing with Shadows: Heh, wanting to become the true heroine? You must be dreaming! Come on, bribe me!
"He's in the study!" Fang Yan put down his work. He had been drawing talismans all morning and was quite tired. Although the results were good, he couldn't withstand the mental and physical strain. Even with the protective talisman, he couldn't take it anymore and decided to rest for a while.
Stepping out of the study, Fang Yan saw Erina Nakiri tying her blonde hair into a ponytail, then taking out an apron and tying it on herself. Her figure, which was absolutely phenomenal for her age, was on full display at that moment.
"Why are you here today? Didn't you say you'd come tomorrow?" Fang Yan admired the cabbages he had grown for a while before asking.
"I heard something happened at your school, and you're all on holiday. I didn't have class today either, so I came to check on you!" Erina Nakiri said with a slight smile, "I have to tell you, for some reason, it seems like Shinomiya-senpai has some kind of mental problem."
Last night, he suddenly sent me several videos, turning his three signature recipes into tutorial videos. "I'll try cooking them for you!"
"Okay!" Fang Yan smiled. It seems that Shinomiya Kojiro is quite sensible. As expected of an elite from the Shinomiya Group, his work efficiency is unmatched. He has created a tutorial for Nakiri Erina so quickly.
As for tasting the food made by Erina Nakiri, he has been eating it since he was a child. Every time Erina tries a new dish, she will let him try it, and he has gotten used to it.
Besides, how bad could Erina's food be, even if it's her first time trying it?
"I heard that Shinomiya-senpai's problem has been solved, and his restaurant reopened today!" Then, Erina Nakiri continued, "It's said that a master appeared and exorcised the ghost in his kitchen!"
"Sounds pretty good!" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow, but didn't care too much. It was obviously impossible to completely hide this matter, as long as it didn't cause trouble for him.
“Yes!” Erina Nakiri nodded slightly. “At first, I also thought that my grandfather had introduced me to an exorcist and helped him solve his problem, so he sent me the tutorial as a way of thanking me. But it seems that thanking me didn’t help at all, which makes me a little uneasy!”
At this point, Erina Nakiri paused in her hand as she washed the seafood.
(Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and a 10-point rating! I'm working hard to write...)
Chapter 41
"Perhaps he was frightened by this incident? He wants his culinary skills to have a successor."
"Even if something unexpected happens in the future, those recipes won't be allowed to gather dust. As the owner of the God Tongue, you are definitely a very good person to entrust with this!" After thinking for a while, Fang Yan also comforted Nakiri Erina.
Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, it seems I need to work harder!" But her eyes were full of seriousness.
When it comes to cooking, Erina Nakiri is very confident in herself. Her talent in cooking is just that outstanding. Don't be fooled by the fact that she is only the tenth of the Elite Ten. She is confident that she can knock out the first place and become number one before graduating from the third year!
This isn't because Erina Nakiri is arrogant or complacent; it's because her current strength is already quite impressive! Her current tenth place isn't because her strength is only tenth, but because she could only be tenth after advancing to the next level.
Now that I have Shinomiya Kojiro’s signature dishes, if I can perfectly replicate them and then add my own touches, then the first seat will definitely be mine!
"Good luck!" Seeing Erina Nakiri's serious expression while cooking, even Fang Yan couldn't help but smile, and he lay down on the sofa to rest.
Such scenes have occurred frequently since I moved out of my home in junior high school. At first, Erina Nakiri would come over under the pretense of asking me to taste the dishes, but later she stopped trying to hide it.
Looking at Erina Nakiri now, Fang Yan felt a great sense of accomplishment. Erina Nakiri with maximum wifely charm is so much better. As for the spoiled young lady with a bad personality in the eyes of outsiders, humph, that's just because you haven't seen Erina-chan's gentle side.
It would be even better if it could be like this in the future!
Unfortunately, Erina Nakiri still has to go to school, and Fang Yan even wanted her to stay at his place.
After a slight sigh, Fang Yan turned on the TV and opened the news channel, wanting to see what had happened recently and how the official explanations were.
But it would have been better if he hadn't looked. What he saw startled him. Fang Yan quickly got off the sofa and looked out the window. Well, he couldn't see very clearly because it was blocked by other tall buildings.
But what Fang Yan saw on TV shocked him: Mount Fuji had erupted!
"Erina, Mount Fuji has erupted!" Fang Yan hurriedly said to Erina Nakiri.
This is a volcano! Faced with such power of nature, human beings are really too weak. And you should know that Mount Fuji is nearby! It's only about 50 kilometers from Fang Yan's house to Mount Fuji.
This is definitely not a safe distance. Should we take our family and move to another location? Should we go to the mainland?
"Ah!? Mount Fuji? It seems it's erupted several times these past few days. Don't worry, my grandfather said that although Mount Fuji has been erupting recently, it hasn't had much of an impact on us!" Erina Nakiri said while cooking, "We at Totsuki have some land on the mountainside over there."
According to people over there, it was at most a minor earthquake; we didn't even feel anything here. As for the smoke and volcanic ash, although they had some impact, experts said it wasn't a big problem!
Mount Fuji is not yet at the point of a major eruption!
"Is that so?" Fang Yan frowned slightly. For some reason, he felt that this matter seemed to be related to the revival of spiritual energy.
Could it be that some kind of demon or monster has appeared inside Mount Fuji?
After thinking it over, Fang Yan directly designated Mount Fuji as a restricted area. He absolutely could not approach Mount Fuji rashly until his strength was strong enough.
He looked at the scene on the television. It seemed that the volcanic eruption was nothing special. At most, it would produce a few sparks and not much smoke. It did not look like the end of the world at all.
Fang Yan also took out his phone and searched for information about the world. He found that Earth seemed to be quite active recently, with earthquakes occurring in many places. Even the world's largest land volcano has started to erupt recently.
According to the data, the volcano started doing this six months ago, but it only emitted thick smoke and did not seem to be on the verge of a large-scale eruption.
This is why the experts here can confidently say that there is absolutely no problem with Mount Fuji. They've been there for six months now and there are no problems either. At most, it emits smoke every now and then, and the air quality is even getting better. Can you believe that?
But it actually happened in real life!
"Wait a minute!! Volcanic smoke can lead to better and better air quality?" Fang Yan felt like he had discovered a key piece of information. Could this be spiritual energy?
Is spiritual energy emitted from volcanoes?
Unfortunately, Fang Yan doesn't dare to rush to the volcano right now, otherwise he might be able to learn something.
Some people have already realized this, otherwise they wouldn't be able to face all of this calmly.
"Alright, Huo Huo, time to eat!" While Fang Yan was pondering, Erina Nakiri had already finished cooking and dutifully served the food to the table, even setting out chopsticks for Fang Yan. If anyone else had seen this, their worldview would probably have shattered. "So this is the real Erina!"
Chapter 42
"Very good!" Fang Yan tasted a bite of the French cuisine cooked by Erina Nakiri. These dishes were all signature dishes of Kojiro Shinomiya, and they had eaten Kojiro Shinomiya's cooking before.
Admittedly, Erina Nakiri's cooking isn't as refined as Kojiro Shinomiya's, but it's still quite good.
Furthermore, it adds to the warm feeling that is unique to the food cooked by Erina Nakiri, a feeling that her grandfather calls the "dog food flavor."
That flavor is imbued with the chef's special emotions, and it's something only a few chefs can achieve!
"If it's good, then eat more!" Erina Nakiri's eyes narrowed into crescent moons upon hearing Fang Yan's praise, clearly very satisfied with it.
"Mmm, I could eat Erina's cooking for a lifetime and still not get enough!" Fang Yan said while eating.
"A lifetime or something..." Erina Nakiri blushed slightly upon hearing this, and her voice became a little stammering. This man in front of her still owed her a confession!
Talking about a lifetime now seems a bit too early; it doesn't sound like something out of a shoujo manga!
"Hmph!" Fang Yan's lips curled up when he saw the shy Erina Nakiri. Sure enough, Erina Nakiri was the cutest like this.
"By the way, are you free tomorrow?" Suddenly, Erina Nakiri seemed to remember something and asked Fang Yan.
"Yes, I'm free. What's up?" Fang Yan asked Nakiri Erina with a puzzled look, "Do you want to try some good restaurants?"
"No, it's Alice!" Erina Nakiri waved her hand. "She's back from Europe, and I want you to come with me to pick her up. Apparently, some of her friends are coming too!"
"Alice?" Fang Yan's face also showed a hint of surprise. He was no stranger to Alice Nakiri, after all, she was his sister-in-law.
Because of Fang Yan, Erina Nakiri was not greatly affected by her scumbag father from a young age, which also meant that the relationship between Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri did not sour, and the relationship between the two was still quite good.
However, a few years ago, Alice Nakiri went to Europe because of her parents, but she never expected that the little girl would come back.
"A friend? That's rare! She actually brought a friend back. Did she find a boyfriend?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
Alice Nakiri is quite lively and cute, so getting along with her is relatively pleasant.
A sister-in-law is a brother-in-law's little darling! Fang Yan was naturally curious about Alice Nakiri's friend.
People in Europe are very open about relationships, and Fang Yan was worried that his sister-in-law might be deceived by some scumbag.
