Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

For a moment, the servants of the bathhouse were caught in a chaotic mess, unable to retreat.

They had never encountered anything like this before.

The afterlife is very peaceful, and there is very little fighting here.

The female imp is exceptionally active and will suppress any danger.

Add to that the relentless passage of time, and surviving in this world becomes an immense challenge.

Not to mention the Demon Sword Princess, who possesses formidable martial prowess and can easily destroy everyone's weapons.

She seemed completely unaffected.

This is completely illogical!

"Please, please forgive us..."

These bathhouse servants are masters of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Gu Yun didn't take them to heart. He gestured for the gods to enter the bathhouse, while he stayed at the entrance: "Back to the question from before."

Why can't humans go in?

Gu Yun could have forced his way in, but he didn't.

Because Gu Yun doesn't need to do such a rude thing.

Someone of his status and position, surely he can't even get into the bathhouse?

“You have insulted my lord, if you do not give me a proper reason.”

The Demon Blade Princess perfectly played the role of a tyrannical servant, glaring at the divine messengers before her: "Believe it or not, I'll chop you all down right now!"

"Spare your life!"

"My lord, spare my life!"

The spirits of the bathhouse are mostly the spirits of dead animals. After signing a contract with Yubaba, they stay here to work and thus acquire their own humanoid bodies.

Interestingly, they were never human in life, but became different kinds of people after death.

You will suffer all kinds of pain here, and be consumed by desire and greed.

It has to be said that this is strangely ironic.

"Humans, because humans shouldn't be here..."

The head servant, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, was pushed to the front by the crowd.

He glanced fearfully at the demon sword princess beside Gu Yun, whose strength was unfathomable and whose body exuded a terrifying and ominous power.

That's why I asked, why?

"This, this is the rule."

This man is the head steward of the bathhouse, known as the 'father steward'. Beside him is another man dressed in blue, known as the elder steward.

The two are essentially the main characters of the bathhouse, second only to the original Haku and Yubaba.

"Regulation…"

Gu Yun raised his hand and weighed it a couple of times. There was a crisp 'clatter' sound, and a brilliant golden light surged from his palm: "Does it include these?"

"Gold?!"

The father, who was initially a little scared, was instantly attracted by the gold in Gu Yun's hand, and the male and female employees behind him reflexively surrounded him.

"It's gold."

"A lot of gold."

"Quickly, what are you all standing there for? Let the guests in!"

"Sir, please come inside!"

Sure enough, seeing that Gu Yun had taken out so much gold, the servants of the bathhouse dared not say anything more, truly demonstrating their servility to capital.

"I've rewarded you!"

Gu Yun casually tossed a handful of gold behind him, directly onto the vermilion bridge.

"what!"

"Gold!"

"Mine, the gold is mine!"

Everyone rushed forward, no longer caring whether Gu Yun could get in or not, and frantically fought over the gold dust on the bridge.

"Working class..."

Gu Yun didn't look down on these people, but she also didn't want to pay them much attention.

He straightened his clothes, had Yaodao-hime follow behind him, and then continued forward, officially entering the bathhouse located at the entrance to the afterlife.

"My lord, did you conjure that gold with magic?"

"Do not."

Gu Yun took off her shoes in the entrance hall of the bathhouse and then put on the bathrobe handed to her by a maid: "The gold is real."

The conversation between Yaodaoji and Gu Yun could only be heard by the two of them.

To outsiders, Gu Yun was a generous and aloof guest.

Although he was human, the bathhouse had never hosted a human before.

But what can you do when Gu Yun is rich?

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.

In this place, which has long been tainted by the filth of the world, the power of money truly surpasses that of the gods.

"Really?"

Yaodao-hime: "You also prepared gold?"

"That's not gold from the material world."

Come to think of it, how could human gold and silver be universally accepted in the afterlife? Even the paper money burned during the Qingming Festival consumes the wishes and energy of the living relatives.

Simply put, feelings of longing, nostalgia, and remembrance are transformed into physical objects in the afterlife through carriers such as paper money, ingots, and candles.

The reason they eventually turned into things like gold, silver, and gemstones is because, in the minds of the living, they are extremely precious.

Therefore, such things cannot be conjured using magic.

Even if it were to appear, it would be a fake.

It's just a smokescreen.

“What the gods consume here is the power of their own will, and the power of will is the foundation of faith.”

The two are like copper coins and silver coins. Gu Yun originally didn't have any money in this world, but unfortunately, he was surrounded by many wealthy women.

"A single visit to the bathhouse costs roughly the equivalent of tens of thousands of yen in real life."

"The gold I just lost was worth about 100 million yen."

The amount equivalent to the spending of 100 gods at the bathhouse was thrown out by Gu Yun like a reward, making it impossible for these guys enslaved by Yubaba not to be tempted.

Of course, these wishes will eventually end up in Yubaba's hands.

This witch is extremely greedy.

If she found out that her subordinates were hoarding gold, they would probably be turned into lumps of coal and sent to work for the boiler man until they died.

Gu Yun throwing the gold to them seemed like a waste of money.

In reality, it could be a blessing or a curse.

If these servants go too far and choose to embezzle the gold, then they will likely face Yubaba's ruthless methods.

As for what happened afterward, that's none of Gu Yun's business.

"Is Lady Miketsuhime that rich?"

"Yes, she's the super-rich woman in our family."

Gu Yun said, "The people of a country have worshipped the immense power of faith accumulated over a thousand years."

If this power of faith were converted into Japanese yen and used to cover the cost of bathhouse expenses, it would likely amount to trillions of yen.

Moreover, Miketsu's faith power is still increasing, and her income is among the top tier, even among the many gods in Japan.

Chapter 136 I'm Here to Make a Deal

"It's certainly lively."

The commotion at the gate did not arouse the interest of the gods who came to enjoy themselves. They either sat facing each other drinking and savoring delicacies, or soaked in the huge hot spring pool with the help of maids.

Among the gods, there are almost none who resemble 'humans'; instead, there are strange beings, and Gu Yun has encountered quite a few along his journey.

Where is Xiaoqian?

Gu Yun knows that Chihiro has been renamed by Yubaba and is now known as Sen.

At this moment, Gu Yun was sitting in a luxurious room, surrounded by many servants.

Through word of mouth, these people learned that Gu Yun was generous and could casually throw away handfuls of gold coins.

In the face of money, whether one is human or not becomes completely unimportant.

Even if the money never ends up in their hands, contributing gold to their superiors is like a worker's performance and revenue; they can always get some benefits in return.

"Does anyone know where Xiaoqian is?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Gu Yun weighed his hand and produced many more gold beans: "The first person to speak, these are his."

"I!"

"I know!"

The one who spoke was a short, god-like figure with a huge head and a frog-like face. He scrambled over to Gu Yun and said, "Xiao Qian is doing chores in the cleaning class, and Xiao Ling is with her."

'That little human girl actually knows such a powerful figure?'
