Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

When it's time to be assertive, you must be assertive.

When an army sets out, how can it stop marching for the sake of one person?

“Let this deity come out,” Gu Yun said, clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment. The matter with the river god was his fault. “Then, apologize to him.”

River gods manage Japan's rivers and continuously purify the water, making significant contributions.

Having received kindness from the bathhouse, he felt compelled to intervene if he saw anyone plotting against the bathhouse or harming its employees like Chihiro.

Therefore, the river god is fine; he is a virtuous and kind old man.

“His body is rather large, let me explain to him first.”

Please wait a moment.

Yu Yao took out a piece of jade and used her spiritual power to communicate with the river god who was sealed inside.

Soon, as the jade began to glow, an old man dressed in ancient Japanese official robes appeared before Gu Yun.

"here it is…"

The old river god looked around blankly. He recognized the place as the bathhouse.

Soon, the old river god noticed Yu Yao, who was none other than the fox spirit who had sealed him away.

"I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Yu Yao apologized to the old river god, and Gu Yun also explained his purpose and the reasons for doing so.

"So it was to save that human girl?"

The old river god was gentle and mild-mannered. He was not angry because of Yu Yao's reckless behavior. There was a reason for it; it was because he was unreasonable and almost did something bad with good intentions.

"Your magnanimity is admirable."

Gu Yun invited, "Why don't we take a seat together? That way, I can apologize to you for this."

After speaking, Gu Yun personally poured a cup of wine for the old river god and handed it to him.

"How dare you!"

Gu Yun's actions truly startled the old river god. He accepted the wine cup with a flattered expression and drank it all in one gulp.

It was at this moment that Gu Yun discovered the reaction from the scroll.

[The quest to awaken Senhime has been completed]

【Senhime】

Awakening method: At the beach, call out the name of Princess Senhime.

"As expected."

Gu Yun knew why Yu Yao had left the River God behind.

On one hand, Miss Silver Fox really didn't want to explain further, and on the other hand, it was also for Gu Yun to obtain the River God's pheromones.

Senhime's awakening requirement is to come into contact with three water gods.

The earliest Water Queen, the Amber Lord she encountered in her next life, and the current Old River God—that makes exactly three.

Gu Yun had already figured out how to summon Senhime.

Or perhaps in the next life.

One is will, and three are nature. The latter positions were all vacant, and it was Suzuka Gozen's appearance that barely filled the vacancy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the case that a retired emperor like the little devil would personally take power.

I've heard that in the afterlife there is an ocean, representing an infinitely possible future.

Perfect timing, Gu Yun can go over there later and take down the other third of the next life as well.

"please."

Gu Yun raised his hand and created a new low table, which was placed right next to the old sheep.

The old river god thanked Gu Yun for the invitation.

Although he had some doubts and didn't know Gu Yun's true identity, Yu Yao's respectful attitude showed that he was no ordinary person.

If you can't recognize him, it's because the old river god is ignorant, not because Gu Yun's background is insignificant.

"Ok?"

The old river god had just settled down when he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. He turned his head in surprise and looked at the giant sheep sitting next to him, drinking like a doll.

"you are…"

Because of the presence of the divine body, the old river god did not recognize the sheep's identity, only knowing that the other party was also a god, just like himself.

As for who it was, the old river god couldn't tell.

Are you a river god in Japan?

The old sheep noticed him, but didn't pay much attention, just nodded slightly and picked up the wine jug to help pour the wine.

"Ah, thank you so much."

The old river god accepted the offer hastily once again.

"puff!"

But the next moment, the old river god spat out the wine he had drunk: "Cough cough cough."

Instantly, the old man looked at the old sheep beside him with a horrified gaze: "You, who exactly are you, deity?!"

Just now, the old sheep poured wine for the river god.

The moment the wine entered his mouth, the river god was struck as if by lightning—a punishment reserved for high-ranking deities when they bowed to lower-ranking ones.

If the old river god hadn't acted quickly and immediately spat out the wine...

That one blow could take half his life.

That's right.

The old sheep offered a toast to the river god, and after one cup, the river god was half dead.

To put it simply, it's like a father kneeling before his son, who is believed to shorten his lifespan. In this world where gods, demons, monsters, and ghosts exist, the hierarchy and order are perfectly orderly, and one must never offend or desecrate them at will.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

The old sheep said awkwardly, "I got so caught up in the drinking that I almost forgot you're not one of his people."

The old sheep had poured wine for Iijima Tamaki earlier, and she was perfectly fine. Then there was the overly familiar and rather disrespectful Kōen.

The former is related to Gu Yun by blood and has no taboos.

Emptiness and illusion were originally not qualified.

But now she is Gu Yun's shikigami, protected by her master, so she has no fear of being offended.

"Master, are you doing this on purpose?"

Yu Yao witnessed this hilarious scene, while Gu Yun leisurely ate his food, saying, "If we have power to lend, we might as well use it."

After the old sheep's move, the river god will understand the gap between the two sides and realize that the Shangluo people are a force he absolutely cannot afford to offend.

"Among so many people in the room, he was the only outsider."

Better safe than sorry. To ensure the river god wouldn't reveal what happened here, and to protect my mother and the others, this little scare is already a light punishment.

If it were someone else, they would probably just say, "You know too much," and then take them away on the spot.

"Xiaoyu, please call Qianxun in for me."

"it is good."

Yu Yao was busy running around, just like the supernatural chief steward of the Iijima family.

After four years of getting along, Yu Yao has infiltrated the Shikigami faction and gained the trust of most of them.

Suzuka Gozen did not invite her, not because she distrusted her, but because Tamaki had other things to attend to.

Once she has resolved her current matters, Miketsuhime and Yaobikuni will naturally inform her of the contents of the internal meeting of the Kyoto sect.

Yu Yao is an extremely important central signal tower in Shangluo.

She built the Iijima family's intelligence network in the field of the supernatural, and coordinated resources and combat power from all sides.

If Miketsu is the head of the cooking squad and Suzuka Gozen is the supreme commander, then Gyokuyo is the head of the logistics department.

In theory, this task should be personally overseen by Mikoto.

Unfortunately, Miketsu was not suited for such a task; she lacked the talent for management. Therefore, Tenko Gyo, the top lieutenant under Inari-sama, took on this heavy responsibility for her.

"Gu Yunjun!"

Soon, Chihiro and Xiaoling were brought in by Yuyao.

As soon as the girl entered the room, her gaze immediately fell on Gu Yun, who was sitting in the very center.

Chihiro.

Gu Yun smiled gently and beckoned them to his side: "Don't worry, I've taken care of it."

“Now that the bathhouse is under my control,” Gu Yun said, “I will let the boss set the rules for this area and give Chihiro and the others a simple test. Once you pass it, you can go home.”

Although it wouldn't matter if she didn't do that, Suzuka Gozen would have the power to break the rules in her next life anyway.

However, it's simpler to do it this way.

"Then, Grandpa Boiler, Sister Xiaoling, and Grandma..."

Chihiro is kind-hearted. She worked at the bathhouse for a few days and received a lot of kindness and help from people.

Xiaoling and Grandpa Boiler.

Boiler Grandpa has long been accustomed to life at the bathhouse, and he will continue to work there; Gu Yun will not disrupt his rhythm.

Xiaoling, Gu Yun can hear her thoughts.

The girl longed to leave the bathhouse and go to other places to see more things.
