Me and countless me.

Chapter 555 The Feathered Fox Attacks!
"Mr. Li Ke, are you going to Liangshan Marsh? Yes, yes! I'll take you there right away!"

The naive Furinji Miu had no idea how dangerous the situation was for Li Ke; she was simply happy to have completed the task assigned to her by her grandfather, Furinji Hayato.

After all, she really didn't want to use her tranquil energy, which she had never been able to control very well, to fight Li Ke, because she might accidentally hurt someone.

Although she enjoys fighting, she doesn't like to hurt other people casually.

However, Li Ke's desire to escape was something that the women around him could not tolerate under any circumstances!
"Mr. Li Ke! This is a very serious matter! This concerns... your reputation and honor!"

Aoyama Motoko grabbed Li Ke's shoulder, looking at him anxiously. The naive Aoyama Motoko simply couldn't think of any way to persuade Li Ke to stay, since she and Li Ke were just landlord and tenant!

But this landlord isn't innocent!

However, Motoko Aoyama still wanted Li Ke to stay and not go off to strange places!
Although she knew that Liangshanbo, where Xiangsaka Shigure was located, was a place full of hidden talents, she did not want to miss Li Ke because of this place!

So at this moment, Motoko Aoyama was extremely anxious, extremely anxious!

Seeing her younger sister, Aoyama Suzuko, make such an embarrassing appearance, Aoyama Tsuruko rolled her eyes speechlessly. She absolutely did not believe that Li Ke could abandon the beauties around him and become an ascetic in Liangshanbo. Judging from the subtle change in his eyes since the end of the battle, it was impossible for Li Ke not to be lustful.

So she directly draped her body over Li Ke from behind, and under the astonished gaze of her younger sister, Aoyama Motoko, she rested her head on Li Ke's shoulder, and then spoke to Li Ke's cheek in a leisurely and teasing tone.

"I'm saying, my sister and I both want to learn swordsmanship from you, and we even hope that you, Mr. Li Ke, can give us one-on-one swordsmanship instruction. How can you just run away like this, Mr. Li Ke?"

Aoyama Tsuruko's words were ambiguous, but Wu Garuda and Touka all understood the implied meaning. While they were stunned, Furinji Miu and Aoyama Motoko did not understand. Aoyama Motoko, in particular, felt that although she thought her sister's behavior was a bit out of line, asking Li Ke for advice on swordsmanship was a brilliant move!

However, Shigure Kosaka spoke up directly.

“If you want to learn swordsmanship, I can teach you, but I feel that what you really want to learn is not swordsmanship, but something else.”

After a pause, Kosaka Shigure continued speaking.

"It's something unrelated to weapons."

With a blank expression and empty eyes, Kosaka Shigure looked calmly and confidently at the Aoyama sisters, Motoko and Tsuruko, while Tsuruko scratched her cheek awkwardly. This made Motoko's eyes light up.

Motoko Aoyama genuinely wanted to learn from her, while Tsuruko Aoyama was genuinely embarrassed. Shigure Kosaka, the daughter of swords and weapons, was not only an excellent weapon craftsman but also a weapon master, proficient in all kinds of weapons, and able to reach a level that ordinary people could not reach!

While in terms of sheer destructive power, the Shinmei-ryu swordsmanship might not be afraid of its opponent, in terms of skill and technique... Although Aoyama Tsuruko is arrogant, she has not earned much reputation through actual combat, so she has no face to say that she can surpass this famous daughter of swords and weapons in swordsmanship.

After all, she truly earned her place through battle. While she was still at home practicing swordsmanship, she was already fighting against various weapon masters.

"Forget about that. The Divine Cry Style isn't just about swordsmanship, so there's no need for that. But I'm quite curious why you want Li Ke to go to Liangshan Marsh. As far as I know, you haven't been planning to take on any disciples for a long time, have you?"

Aoyama Tsuruko knew some things about Liangshanbo, including not only Kosaka Shigure, but also Ma Jianxing, who was proficient in almost all Chinese boxing styles, Master Qiuyu, who was practically the embodiment of judo, and Furinji Hayato, an old man who had lived for who knows how long, as well as various other strongmen.

These powerful figures are so strong that they can even influence the rise and fall of some small countries. One of their disciples, who wasn't exactly a true disciple, was expelled from the sect before finishing his studies, but he can now be said to be invincible among the younger generation.

So she was really curious about what the people of Liangshan wanted with Li Ke.

"Don't you know? The Kamiryu school should also have some connection to the underworld, right?"

Kosaka Shigure tilted her head, looked at Aoyama Tsuruko, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Tamamo-no-Mae and Hagoromo-Gitsune have both escaped from hell, and they are likely nearby, so Liangshanbo wants to protect Li Ke, a talented person."

Upon hearing this, both Aoyama Motoko and Aoyama Tsuruko instantly lost all romantic feelings for each other!

"Hagoromo Gitsune and Tamamo-no-Mae... You must be kidding..."

Aoyama Motoko was somewhat stunned; she hadn't expected that these two great demons could actually escape from hell! Aoyama Tsuruko, on the other hand, looked at Li Ke and spoke with a serious expression.

"Would you mind giving me a child now? If not, let's have one right now. But you'll have to support him/her afterwards. Also, I don't mind if you marry a new wife. Just remember to let our child inherit the Shinmei-ryu dojo and swordsmanship."

Aoyama Tsuruko didn't want to die without having any children, so she planned to have a child with Li Ke.

This may seem nonsensical, but it illustrates Aoyama Tsuruko's attitude.

As a swordswoman of the Shinmei-ryu school, she was determined to fight the two great demons to the death. Leaving the child behind was only for the sake of the Shinmei-ryu school's legacy. As for her own life and happiness, she simply threw them to the back of her mind.

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about! How can you be so casual!"

Motoko Aoyama instantly bristled, but what she saw was her sister's calm and serious face, her usual nonchalant attitude completely gone.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Motoko? If it were any other time, it would be fine to live a normal life and date, but things are different now."

Aoyama Tsuruko stared intently into Kosaka Shigure's eyes and spoke, word by word.

"If Hagoromo Gitsune and Tamamo-no-Mae are truly resurrected, they will surely gather and resurrect their former subordinates to wreak havoc on the world... And many of their fallen subordinates were swordsmen of our Kamiryu school, even our ancestors. We're not boys; if we don't leave behind our children and swordsmanship soon, are we planning to leave behind a knot in our hearts when fighting demons?! Or are you not planning to shoulder the honor and duty of the Kamiryu school and fight evil to the death?!"

Aoyama Motoko's face turned deathly pale instantly. She realized just how terrifying the return of such a powerful demon to the human world was for the Kamiryu! Because her omnipotent, albeit unscrupulous, older sister no longer believed that the two of them could survive, but was instead preparing for what would happen after her death!

"The future is bound to be chaotic, so Li Ke, what's your answer? If you don't agree, I'll have to find someone else right away."

Qingshan Hezi didn't stand on ceremony with Li Ke. She came to Shuilian Inn to find a husband she liked who was rich, young, and handsome. Since she had decided on Li Ke, she was committed to him for life. She would talk about it later if Li Ke didn't want to have children.

As for free love and such, she had never dared to hope for that since learning the Shinmei-ryu swordsmanship.

But the next moment, Li Ke pressed her head down.

Why are you so panicked?

After patting the head of the very conscientious exorcist swordsman, Li Ke spoke up directly. He really hadn't expected that the resurgence of just two monsters would cause such a tense and chaotic situation in the supernatural world. To be honest, he was quite surprised.

However, Aoyama Tsuruko and Aoyama Motoko were interested in him, and he wasn't some cuckold, so he naturally wouldn't back down at this moment. Therefore, it was obvious to everyone that he couldn't go to Liangshanbo today, and even if he did go, he would have to bring Aoyama Motoko and Aoyama Tsuruko with him.

However, he didn't think Tamamo-no-Mae and Hagoromo-Gitsune were some kind of world-destroying monsters, and he really didn't think he couldn't deal with them.

"Although I don't mind you sisters getting pregnant and I like you both very much, there's no need to panic like this. Besides, the underworld probably doesn't know how long Tamamo-no-Mae and Hagoromo-Gitsune have been on the run. What's the rush? They can't just come knocking on our door."

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the Water Lily Pavilion. Then, a classic girl with long, straight black hair and a sailor uniform, carrying her schoolbag, looked over. Although she looked puzzled when she saw them, she still timidly spoke up.

"Hello, I'm Yamabuki Otome, and I booked a room here. Are there any rooms available?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Li Ke relaxed, but Li Ke's lips twitched slightly.

Because he knew very well who this seemingly shy girl named Yamabuki Otome really was!

The other party is none other than Hagoromo Gitsune, whom they were just talking about!

So Li Ke silently mobilized his spiritual power to look over, and then he was somewhat surprised to find that the girl in front of him was not the same as the one in the original work!

In the original work, Yamabuki Otome has a human appearance, but she is actually a yokai. She is a yokai who became the daughter of a samurai in the Sengoku period after her death. She is also the ex-wife of Nura Rihan, the leader of the Nura Clan. Because she was unable to have children, she left him and was then controlled or possessed by Hagoromo Gitsune.

It can be said that it has absolutely nothing to do with humans!
However, when he looked at her now, although he could still see that her soul was still that of a fox and a demon, and that she had suffered considerable damage clearly from trying to escape hell, her body was undeniably her own—a standard, beautiful young human girl, completely unrelated to the Warring States period or demons!
This is a genuine reincarnation as a human!
If the other person's memories as Hagoromo Gitsune do not return, then the other person will live as 'Yamabuki Otome' for the rest of their life!

"What kind of butterfly effect is this? Is it because the stories of several worlds have merged together, so for the sake of stability, they chose true reincarnation instead of possession?"

Just as she opened her mouth, Yotsuya Miko, Kisugi Rui, and the others came out and happened to run into this girl named Yamabuki Otome. The group immediately looked at each other, and Li Ke clearly saw that Yamabuki Otome showed an interested expression.

Clearly, although they are still human, the spiritually powerful souls and auras of Rui Kisugi and the others are still attracting Otome Yamabuki, whose core is actually a fox!
Li Ke was certain that if the core of Hagoromo Gitsune awakened, it would immediately devour Miko, Rai, and the other two to replenish its soul and power!
"As expected, it's unlucky for the female protagonist of a science fiction world to come to the supernatural world."

Li Ke thought of Utsumi Toshio, who died under mysterious circumstances. In his original work, Utsumi was an incredibly lucky guy who never died, but in this world, any random monster could kill him. It was easy to imagine that if he hadn't met Li Ke, the three sisters would not have fared well in their next life.

Even seeing the child's fate probably won't be good.

This is a difference in magnitude.

However, Li Ke wasn't the only one who noticed something strange, because at that moment, Jianzi's legs had already begun to tremble.

She looked at the woman before her, for she saw a gigantic fox shrouding the woman, its size obscuring the sky! This fox was staring at them greedily, as if it wanted to tear their bodies apart and devour their entrails!
In particular, the fox seemed to have seen them and was reaching out its paws toward them and the other two, as if to see who was the most plump and voluptuous!

To outsiders, Yamabuki Otome appeared shy, but a wicked and deep smile appeared in her eyes. Her mouth grew larger and larger, and even began to bleed as sharp fangs grew out!

Her body began to move out of control after witnessing such a sight, and she even put her hands on her clothes, wanting to tear them off so that the other's claws could more easily remove her internal organs!

But just as she was about to unbutton her clothes, Li Ke spoke up.

"Jianzi, please entertain the guests first. I have something to attend to here, but I'll be right there to take your place."

With just one sound, Yotsuya Miko's act of offering her internal organs was interrupted, allowing her to recover from her fear and anxiety, and even temporarily making the giant fox disappear from her sight!
"Eh? Okay, okay!"

Seeing Zi subconsciously nod, while Touxia looked at Li Ke with a puzzled expression, after all, Li Ke had said that she was the one who handled such matters.

Thinking of this, the plump woman couldn't help but move closer to Li Ke, wanting to know if she had fallen out of favor.

However, this displeased Aoyama Tsuruko, and the two women immediately glared at each other. Touka, naturally, couldn't stand Aoyama Tsuruko, who had practiced martial arts, so she immediately pulled Shuiren and the other woman along!
Wu Jialouluo also realized that Qingshan Hezi was planning to steal a man and had given birth before her, so she also moved closer!

Li Ke then found himself in a flurry of activity, which even made the three Lai Sheng sisters, who were watching from the sidelines, laugh.

But after Zi nodded subconsciously, he suddenly realized that Li Ke actually wanted him to entertain that fox monster!

So, she pointed to herself somewhat innocently.

"Me, me?"
