"Please, help me stay by Lord Gu Yun's side..."

"Feel sorry!"

Miketsu immediately rejected Uesugi's request, and then said the words that completely broke Uesugi: "Don't come looking for me anymore, I'm afraid Gu Yun will misunderstand."

What's the misunderstanding?

She mistakenly believed that Miketsu and Uesugi-neechan were having an affair, so she acted as a matchmaker and whispered in their ear.

Miketsuhime doesn't want to be disliked by Gu Yun.

so.

Miketsu: Dame!

"Boom!"

As Uesugi-nee looked at the door that had closed again, she stood alone by the roadside, lost in self-doubt.

At that moment, her world seemed to turn black and white, and the song "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" rang in her ears: Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls, and the world is a vast expanse of desolation.

"Do not!!"

Suddenly, Uesugi raised her head, her eyes shining brightly: "I will not give up!"

The mission and long-cherished wish of twelve days had been awaited for thousands of years, and they had fought desperately for four hundred years.

That is the meaning of her existence!

"It seems I was too hasty."

Uesugi thought of the look in Gu Yun's eyes when he returned to his true name: "What am I doing that scared him away?"

Furthermore, she was the only one to come over the twelve days; none of the other members came to pay their respects, which was quite disappointing for Gu Yun.

Uesugi made a secret decision: she would go and find the other twelve days, and then bring everyone to pay homage to Gu Yun, so that he could see the determination and sincerity of the twelve days.

'That's right, they're just unsure if the idea of a perfect personality is even real.'

Now that I know, I can inform them, and they will definitely come!

Uesugi believed this wholeheartedly, so she immediately went to the underworld to tell the twelve days closest to her the good news.

Chapter 122 Spirit Body Manipulation Technique

"have they gone?"

"They should have left by now..."

The gate was slowly opened, and two small heads, one black and one white, peeked out—it was a young girl and a young boy.

"Hu~~"

The two little ones let out a soft sigh of relief, and the younger sister said, "What a strange person."

"Hmm, seems like there's something wrong with his brain."

The boy also felt that Uesugi-neechan was acting strangely, and the other little monsters were also discussing it.

"Okay, it's all gone."

"It's very rude to talk badly about others behind their backs."

As expected of the matriarch of the family, Auntie quickly swept away this bad atmosphere, leaving only a few powerful shikigami with solemn expressions in the courtyard of the Iijima mansion.

"That guy is really strong."

Yaodao-hime is a mediocre strategist, but her combat strength is astonishing, ranking alongside her aunt as one of the top powerhouses below Miketsu.

From the moment Uesugi-nee appeared, Yoto-hime had been locking onto her aura.

Despite being watched by a powerful demon at the peak of his cultivation, Uesugi remained unfazed, as if she didn't take the demon sword princess seriously at all.

Clearly, this reflects Uesugi's absolute confidence in her own abilities.

Is it really that strong?

Perhaps due to the vast difference in strength, Momiji and Hannya did not sense the terrifying power of Uesugi-neechan like Guhuoniao and Higanbana did.

"superb!"

As she spoke, her aunt gripped the umbrella sword tightly in her hand: "The moment I saw her, I had an urge to draw my sword."

This is the feeling you get when you encounter the most accomplished swordsmanship master.

However, Uesugi-neechan did not react at all, and even talked to Gu Yun without changing her expression, without even glancing at her aunt.

This shows that the opponent's swordsmanship is even above that of his aunt.

Grandmaster?

No, perhaps even higher!

"I really want to fight her."

Even her usually calm and composed aunt had said such a thing, and Hongye secretly clicked her tongue in amazement, gaining a general understanding of Uesugi-nee's strength.

"Even if she is really strong, I still think it's not worth it."

Hongye truly deserves her reputation as the courtyard's strategist. Her opinion is the same as Gu Yun's: "Taking her in would just add an extra responsibility for no reason, and we'd have to face the monster Hiruko-shin. It's such a loss."

"Ah."

Higanbana agreed, having fought Hiruko-shin before, whose strength was beyond imagination: "If possible, I really don't want to be enemies with someone like that."

If Hiruko-gami has a brain and is plotting some evil scheme, then that's fine.

Gu Yun is a villain, so he certainly can't allow any other peers to be more bizarre than himself.

The problem is that Hiruko is a kind of self-cleaning mechanism for the world.

They have no brains at all; all their actions are driven entirely by instinct.

Aside from Uesugi-neechan, who sees saving the world as her mission, I don't think anyone else would consider fighting such things as their goal.

It's like how everything ages and dies.

But you insist that everything in the world be eternal, and that disappearance and death are wrong and should be erased.

Hongye: Are you fucking crazy?!

"If you see a twelve-day period in the future, try to avoid it if possible."

Gu Yun became wary of the Twelve Days' attitude, especially after learning their purpose.

The significance of her perfect spiritual status to the Twelve Heavens can be seen from Uesugi's attitude.

Even if the other twelve people didn't respect him as much as Uesugi-neechan did, the value of a perfect spirit was undeniable, making it impossible for them not to be tempted.

"You cannot leave the world you are protecting for twelve days."

This was Miketsu's affirmative answer to him, and it was also the source of Gu Yun's confidence in temporarily ignoring the threat of the Twelve Days.

These most powerful martial gods and war gods can only stay in their own territories.

The world's will acts like a political commissar, overseeing it.

"Are they really that obedient?"

Gu Yun found it hard to believe.

In his view, their strength was so great that even the world's will could not restrain them.

If that's the case, then why do they restrain themselves so much?

Worried about the other twelve days?

Uesugi-nee is a loyal and righteous simpleton, but the other twelve days are seasoned veterans who are far more shrewd than the naive and inexperienced Miss War God.

They formed cliques, consolidated their position, and established alliances.

If it were Gu Yun, he would definitely do the same.

“In that case, it’s not the Twelve Heavens, but an evil god.”

Miketsu refuted Gu Yun's opinion: "I have seen many Twelve Heavens, and it is undeniable that most of them are positive characters."

In Miketsu's words, she is kind, wise, and persevering, possessing almost all the virtues of the world.

"If you really want to use your power as you please and do whatever you want."

Miketsu said, "They could easily give up their positions among the Twelve Gods and become one of the evil gods."

The evil gods in this world are almost all deities who fell from heaven.

They refused to fight the Hiruko God, abandoned their mission, and came to the human world to wreak havoc.

Essentially, unlike Uesugi-neechan who was mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, she chose to live for the moment and take things as they come.

"Bishamonten descended to earth as a human because he was afraid of fighting Hiruko-no-kami, but did not want to be a deserter."

Both women faced death, but Uesugi chose to confront it directly, using it to strengthen her mind and will.

"You mean to say that the gods themselves have no constraints?"

"Yes."

Miketsu nodded: "Hiruko-shin has killed too many gods, and they are too busy to take care of themselves."

Many, many gods deserted, unwilling to go to the battlefield of Hiruko-gami.

Countless others have fallen into evil godhood and wreaked havoc on humanity.

"True gods never pay attention to mortals, much less humiliate them."

Just like Uesugi-neechan, she has looked up to Hiruko-sama since birth, fighting bloody battles just to protect the peace of the world.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Gu Yunde admitted that Uesugi-neechan was a hero: "Luckily, I'm the villain."

'As long as my bottom line is low enough, no one can hold me hostage.'
