Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"But I don't understand, what is Lord Gu Yun's purpose in doing this?"

As the saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."

Gu Yunping did so much for no apparent reason, which inevitably made Nura Rihan somewhat worried, fearing that he might have even bigger ambitions.

"Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything."

If Yamabuki Otome was truly resurrected by Tanigumo, and the fox's curse was truly broken, then Tanigumo is Nura Rihan, the great benefactor of their Nura Clan.

Even if such kindness is excessive, Nura Rihan must repay it.

"this one"

Gu Yun asked Xiao You to serve tea, and the two chatted as they drank: "Four hundred years ago, Mr. Rihan's father defeated Hagoromo Gitsune and saw the difficult living environment for yokai in the future. That's why he took on the mission of exorcising all demons and developed the Nura Clan of today."

"good."

Nura Rihan never expected that Gu Yun, at such a young age, would know about this.

"With the continuous development of human technology, the era of modern society is about to arrive."

“To borrow Mr. Nurarihyon’s words,” Gu Yun said, “the monsters will have an exceptionally difficult time facing the new world.”

"A yokai protected by the Nura Clan might be able to find a peaceful place."

"But many more will lose their homes due to changes in their living environment."

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "The Nura Clan can't save everyone."

Rihan Nura didn't expect Gu Yun to say that, but he knew that what Gu Yun said was true.

Humans are progressing, but the space for monsters to live is getting smaller and smaller.

When forests are cut down and lights illuminate the night, monsters that once lived in darkness are forced to hide.

Thus, for the first time, Gu Yun presented his vision to outsiders.

“I want to build a world where humans and youkai can coexist,” Gu Yun said, “a Gensokyo that is cherished by the gods.”

Chapter 96 Haruno, Yukino, Shizuka, and Kawaii

Rihan Nura was clearly interested in the blueprint for Gensokyo that Gu Yun had mentioned.

However, the Nura Clan is a large and powerful organization with tens of thousands of yokai working for them. Nura Rihan said he needed to think it over carefully before giving Gu Yun an answer.

However, Gu Yun could tell that Nura Rihan was somewhat biased towards him and was willing to try to persuade his subordinates to cooperate with Gu Yun.

"As it should be."

Seeing this, Gu Yun did not hold Nura Rihan back, but instead instructed Miketsu to immediately begin the task of bringing Yamabuki Otome's soul back to the human world and breaking Hagoromo Gitsune's curse.

As the will to purify the world, purifying curses is as simple as eating and drinking for Miketsuhime.

The will of the Yellow Springs was also very accommodating, willing to give Gu Yun a back door.

That afternoon, Gu Yun used a high-level resurrection technique to bring Yamabuki Otome back to the human world and reunite her with Nura Rihan.

Upon their reunion, even Nura Rihan, with his strong will, couldn't contain himself and excitedly embraced Yamabuki Otome.

"Lord Liban?"

Yamabuki Otome's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt: "Is it really you?"

"This kindness..."

After realizing that the Yamabuki Otome before him was not an imposter, Nura Rihan bowed deeply to Tanigumo: "I will remember you forever!"

In two consecutive events, Gu Yun was the first to fulfill the agreement.

Without a doubt, the Nurarihyon clan owes Gu Yun a huge favor.

Rihan Nura promised Tanigumo that he would do everything in his power to make the Gensokyo Project a success.

However, it's hard to say whether Rikuo Nura from the original story will still appear.

After all, Rihan Nura was in love with Otome Yamabuki, while Rikuo's mother, Wakana, was only a 15-year-old girl, and the two never met.

Of course, given the current situation, even if they were to meet, Nura Rihan probably wouldn't be interested in a human girl.

"Master."

That night, the same burly man in black led a group of people to deliver a nearly two-meter-long wooden box from the car to the Iijima residence.

The three-tailed fox presented the collectible to Gu Yun. Upon opening it, a complete skeleton was found lying inside.

"I feel like I'm becoming more and more abnormal."

This is both an evil god and a skeleton; Gu Yun didn't even know where to begin his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

"Well, never mind, waking up the Bone Woman is more important."

To prevent a recurrence of the incident involving the evil god Yuju, Gu Yun first meditated to clear his mind of any inappropriate thoughts before attempting to awaken the Bone Woman.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck.

On the long-dead skeleton, a large amount of flesh and tendons emerged, and soon transformed into a woman with skin as white as jade.

The other person was lying naked inside the coffin, her beautiful figure on full display.

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun turned his face away awkwardly, but then heard the Bone Woman say, "No need to be shy, my benefactor."

"Please feel free to look around; it is my honor."

The Bone Woman didn't care at all about her naked state. She stood up leisurely, as if she wanted to show Gu Yun the most beautiful side of her body.

In Eastern legends, the Bone Woman is the skeleton of a person who died tragically after being envied and betrayed in life. Due to resentment and unyielding obsession, she transforms into a demon and wreaks havoc on the human world.

They disguise themselves with human skin, hence the name "painted skin ghosts." Their targets are often men of bad character.

However, those were other bone maidens. The bone maidens of the Gu Yun family have just been reborn and have never done such a thing.

"Well, anyway, let's put our clothes on first."

Gu Yun had the three-tailed fox bring the clothes, and once the bone woman put them on, she immediately transformed into an elegant and dignified charming woman.

Her skin was just too white and translucent, which seemed a little abnormal.

【Hone-onna】

Races: Bone Demon, Wraith

Spiritual Rank: 40 (Evil God)

Demon power: high level

Talents: Bone Manipulation, Malevolent Possession, All-Spirit Leather Suit, Rebirth

The attributes of the Bone Woman are average. In normal state, she is a high-ranking demon. After awakening, she has the strength of a special-grade demon, but she is weaker than warrior-type shikigami such as White Wolf and Inugami.

"Hone-Woman, go back to the courtyard and adjust for a bit..."

"This servant wishes to stay by Your Majesty's side."

The Bone Woman looked at Gu Yun expectantly, while the Three-Tailed Fox beside her raised an eyebrow, just about to instruct the Bone Woman not to make things difficult for Gu Yun.

"sure."

Gu Yun indicated to Sister Fox that it didn't matter; he was quite accommodating to his own family, and besides, the Bone Woman's request was just a very ordinary one.

In fact, Gu Yun would agree to most things as long as the shikigami were willing to speak up.

However, the shikigami have different personalities. For example, the three-tailed fox is the virtuous type.

She's the kind of girlfriend who, to save her boyfriend money, doesn't even need a birthday cake for her birthday.

And such shikigami make up the majority.

In other words, it is because of their more aggressive nature that the Red Leaf, the Spider Lily, and the Bone Woman take the initiative to make some requests and want to get closer to Gu Yun.

"I'm sorry, Miss Three-Tailed Fox."

The Bone Woman said to the Three-Tailed Fox, "This is my only wish."

The reason for Hone-onna's existence is to stay by the side of her loved ones.

She could do without anything else.

Dying for love, tormented by emotions—these are the strengths and weaknesses of a Bone Woman.

"As for personal maids, we already have Kureha."

Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Bone Woman, would you like to be my bodyguard?"

He suddenly realized that if the Bone Woman wore a black suit, sunglasses, and a rubber gun, she could totally cosplay as Gu Yun's bodyguard in daily life.

"Bodyguard, does that mean protector?"

The Bone Woman wasn't greedy; she just wanted to be with Gu Yun. As for their identities, that didn't matter: "I'll do my best."

And so, the courtyard gained another companion.

That night, Gu Yun introduced the Bone Woman and the Kikumushi to his mother and Hayasaka Nao.

The bone woman was alright, but the chrysanthemum insect once again caused both women physical discomfort.

It has to be said that the attributes of the evil god are truly bizarre.

It's worth noting that even after Akatsuki and Suzuran transformed into their original forms, Tsuchigumo and Jorogumo, their mother was able to accept it calmly.

This shows that the mother was not afraid of insects.

In fact, she spent a lot of time playing in the mountains and fields when she was a child, and her biggest hobby was catching giant rhinoceros beetles.

Yes, the Japanese people's love for rhinoceros beetles is similar to the Chinese people's cricket culture.

Perhaps it's because rhinoceros beetles fight like crickets, or perhaps it's simply because they resemble armored Japanese warriors, but Gu Yun couldn't quite understand the appeal of rhinoceros beetles.

"What was that, that insect girl, all about?"

It wasn't until the chrysanthemum left that the mother and Hayasaka Nao barely recovered.

"Xiaoju is an evil god."

"An evil god?!"
