Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

But ever since he got a wife and children, he has never had any thoughts about that kind of thing again.

Shiro Tsubagi changed careers and became a well-known psychologist in the secluded world. Over the years, he has helped countless fallen women return to their old ways, or rather, to get back on their feet.

Over time, Tsubagi Shiro became a legendary figure who lived in seclusion.

The female monsters he saved became his loyal followers.

There were simply too many girls in the Gu family, and he was indeed finding it difficult to keep up.

Therefore, after learning about Tsubagi Shiro's abilities, Gu Yun decisively became his apprentice. Under the old man's guidance, he indulged in the secluded red-light district, learning how to give warmth to fallen women—ah, I mean, pitiful yokai ladies—from their hearts.

Well, in short, Gu Yun is still very happy about this.

He also acknowledged the old man's words, "Kotani, you're still young. Cherish this time of freedom you have now."

Well, after hearing your words, I've wasted ten years of studying.

"Forehead…"

Looking at the expectation in Gu Yun's eyes, Tsubagi Shiro said somewhat awkwardly, "Not long ago, I encountered your family's white crane in the secluded world, and she chased me and hacked at me for several blocks."

Because of the geisha district incident, the shikigami of the Tanigumo family are very unfriendly towards Tsubagi Shiro.

They felt that this old man had corrupted their innocent and adorable little master.

Among them, Auntie, Miketsu, and others were the most dissatisfied.

Especially her aunt, who was in charge of intelligence and business in the hidden world, had the highest chance of meeting Shiro Tsubagi.

This also led to his aunt always picking up her umbrella and slashing him a few times whenever she saw him.

"You've come here to complain to me?"

"No."

Shiro Tsubagi: "What I mean is, the geisha district poverty alleviation project has been temporarily cancelled."

The subtext of this is—keep a close eye on your white crane, or do you still want me to take you flying and show off?!

"Ahem, none of that matters."

Tsubagi Shiro didn't come to talk about these things. He was looking for Tanigumo to inquire about the guardian of the other world, namely, the matter of the Fire Heaven.

Chapter 264 Lingzi asked me to pass on a message to Young Master Gu Yun

"Fire Sky?"

Gu Yun had just disciplined Pandora: "What's wrong with her now?"

"Messenger of the Underworld, Messenger of Hell, Messenger of the Netherworld."

"Is this it?"

Tsubagi Shiro was well-informed; not long after Gu Yuncai assigned the task, he found out: "I heard that you want to select three gods with divinity in the afterlife and grant them power comparable to the level of the spirits of the ecosystem?"

"Ah, yes, that's right. I just gave the order."

Gu Yun asked疑惑地问道, "And then? Is there a problem with this?"

"Sigh~~"

After hearing this, Tsubaki Shiro gasped, "You kid, aren't you growing up a little too fast?"

"It hasn't been long, and even Twelve Days has been defeated by you."

Gu Yun is not on the same level as them.

The Twelve Heavens, whom they considered unattainable, were utterly respectful in front of Gu Yun.

The same thing happened. Because of Gu Yun's needs, the entire afterlife became lively. First, Hell directly notified Enma Ai to contact Gu Yun.

Therefore, Gu Yun's name is now widely known and respected among the higher-ups in the afterlife.

In addition, there is the blessing of power at the level of an ecological spirit.

Suddenly, even the King of Hell and the gods and spirits of the other world became eager to try.

"I'm Dai Lingzi, and I've come to ask you something."

Tsubagi Shiro asked, "What do the messengers of the underworld and the messengers of the netherworld need?"

The messenger of hell has already been chosen; it is the ferryman on the Sanzu River, Hell Girl Enma Ai.

Therefore, Shiro Tsubagi did not inquire about the Grim Reaper, but instead focused his attention on the Grim Reaper and the Underworld Grim Reaper.

"Um…"

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Grandpa, do you mean that Sister Lingzi wants to become the successor of the three messengers of the other world?"

For a moment, Gu Yun fell into deep thought.

I have to say, it was quite unexpected.

This is like you've started a company, and then a relative asks you for a job.

Reiko Natsume and Tanigumo have a deep connection and a close relationship.

She's not some distant relative you have no connection to.

Gu Yun has always been very generous to his family. When Natsume Reiko had this need, he didn't even frown and directly assigned her the most suitable position.

Unfortunately, that's not the problem. As far as Gu Yun knows, Natsume Reiko seems to have absolutely no connection with the legacy of the Three Messengers of the Otherworld.

"This probably won't work."

If Lingzi could, then the power of the three messengers should have reacted to her years ago when Gu Yun activated this awakening mission.

"wrong!"

Gu Yun discovered a blind spot in his knowledge: "Sister Lingzi is not a deity of the Yellow Springs, and has no such responsibility, so naturally she cannot be recognized by the scroll."

Conversely, what if Natsume Reiko gained Yomi's approval?

Just like Enma Ai, if Natsume Reiko also got a job of her own and became a goddess with a formal position.

With her divine status, Natsume Reiko's compatibility with the messenger of the underworld will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

If that's the case, why can't Reiko Natsume be allowed to have her?

"No, that's not the point. What I mean is, why did Reiko-nee suddenly want to come and hang out with me?"

In Gu Yun's view, it was impossible for Natsume Reiko not to know what this special contract meant.

If she becomes Gu Yun's messenger of the underworld, it is equivalent to becoming someone else's shikigami.

To be honest, Gu Yun never thought about turning acquaintances into shikigami.

Moreover, in terms of seniority, Lingzi is his older sister or aunt.

"Reiko was planning to take you on adventures to different worlds when you got a little older."

"Now that we hear you can command the world of fire, how can we sit still?"

According to Shiro Tsubagi, the four kings of Nokozen, except for Reiko Natsume, are basically all old.

The aging here refers not only to the physical body, but also to the weariness and desolation of the soul.

Iijima Goshiro, Kotaki Goshiro, and Tsubagi Shiro all longed for a leisurely retirement.

In contrast, Reiko also has ambition.

She wanted to see a wider world and compete with stronger opponents.

Most importantly, Lingzi doesn't mind being Gu Yun's guardian spirit; in fact, she's eager to try.

"Even without the Three Messengers, Reiko would still have come to find you after hearing that you defeated Huo Tian."

Reiko is no longer human; she died many years ago.

In her spirit form, she is essentially no different from a demon.

If Natsume Reiko were placed among demons, her strength would be at least at the level of a great demon, or even stronger, second only to the level of an ecological spirit like the spider lily.

Faced with such a powerful being, almost no human sorcerer could harm Reiko.

Of course, those are other people.

Whether other warlocks can do it is another matter.

If Gu Yun wanted, he could easily subdue Natsume Reiko and make her his shikigami without any resistance.

"But that's not a good idea."

Gu Yun instinctively resisted the idea of ​​taking Lingzi as a shikigami, which felt like enslaving his deceased parents and elders—it was incredibly bizarre.

He was supposed to be Natsume Reiko's protector, so why is he now persecuting her?

"What's wrong with that? You won't hurt her."

Shiro Tsubagi didn't care about this at all. He knew Tanigumo's character very well, and this was the pride of their Iijima school.

In fact, if Gu Yun weren't so incredibly powerful right now...

If he ever needs anything, he's willing to accept Tanigumo's spirit communication magic to come and help him after Tsubagi Shiro dies.

Elders protect the younger generation, and the strong protect the weak.

This is a fine tradition of their Wild Fox Zen Iijima School!

"Besides, I came here specifically to discuss this with you, just so you could give Lingzi some better treatment."

When Tsubagi Shiro first heard that Tanigumo had defeated Katen, he was truly shocked.

If this information hadn't come from Goshiro Kotaki, the information broker, and hadn't been genuine and without any hidden agendas, Shiro Tsubagi would have suspected that someone was trying to incite conflict between Tanigumo and the Twelve Heavens.

So, Gu Yun used telepathy to quickly share what had happened not long ago with Tsubagi Shiro.

Aside from some issues involving Hiten's privacy, Tsubaki Shiro had a pretty good grasp of the general outline of the events.

"I would definitely welcome Sister Lingzi if she came."

"The legacy of these three messengers from the other world may not be suitable for her."

“How about this, old man in the prison, you go to the underworld and have Sister Lingzi come to me. We’ll finalize the guardian spirit contract first.”

"Once I find the right power for her, I will give it to Sister Lingzi."
