Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Other sea areas and mountains in the water are considered worthless wilderness.

Chapter 289 Azure Sky and Yellow Springs

"From now on, Lingzi will be our landlady."

The snail standing in the distance teased Kotaki Goshiro beside him.

"Haha, who says it isn't?"

Kotaki Goshiro was delighted by Reiko's opportunity; from now on, Reiko would be a deity with a proper divine position.

The Lord of Rest in the Otherworld.

After Lingzi completed the fusion of the divine status of the Messenger of the Underworld, this title automatically appeared in the cognition of spirits with a spiritual level of over 30 within the Underworld.

They did not know who this Lord of Rest was, only that she was a woman, a noble goddess.

Wherever spirits dwell in the afterlife, that is her homeland.

Therefore, the snail's analogy of a 'landlady' is indeed accurate.

Anyone who angers Reiko now can be banished from the underworld at any time, turning them into a wandering ghost on the Sanzu River.

"Alright, Sister Lingzi, let's wait a little longer for the celebration."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Let me see your current state."

"Oh."

Having become Gu Yun's shikigami, and with her true name engraved in the Book of Divine Favor that his spirit had transformed into, Lingzi naturally learned a great deal about Gu Yun.

Her current state is different from that of the celestial foxes and fox spirits; she is far closer to Gu Yun than they are to her.

how to say?

Natsume Reiko is now more like a brand new shikigami in Gu Yun, just like Sode no Shirayuki, belonging to the 'collaboration series' in the scroll.

Yes, Natsume Reiko is the second collaboration shikigami that Gu Yun obtained.

Like R, SR, SSR, and SP shikigami, the collaboration shikigami are all shikigami from the orthodox scroll, and are truly bound to Gu Yun.

With this relationship established, Lingzi was able to completely let go, no longer feeling the entanglement and estrangement that had plagued her before.

【Natsume Reiko】

Race: Underworld Ghosts and Spirits, Ecological Spirits

Spiritual Rank: 72/80 (Taboo)

Talents: Netherworld and Underworld, Burial of All Souls, Supreme Law, Gathering of All Beings, Awakening - Great God of Rest in the Afterlife

"Um…"

On the other side, Gu Yun opened the scroll and, without concealing it, directly displayed its contents to Lingzi.

"Eh~~~"

Reiko remarked with a sigh, "The race is ghosts and gods, and there's also this ecological spirit. Doesn't that refer to the status of a ruler who governs a part of the afterlife?"

"Yes, my sister Hua is just like you, Sister Lingzi."

“From now on, one of you will manage the starting point of the Underworld, and the other will manage its end point,” Gu Yun said, calling out to the other shore flower, “You must get along well.”

"Alright, alright!"

This wasn't the first time Lingzi had met the spider lily.

Every time Gu Yun visits them in the afterlife, he brings with him the red spider lily.

We're all old acquaintances.

Although the red spider lily has a cold and aloof personality, it's not difficult to get along with. It's just that it has a strong murderous streak and likes to turn the ghosts that come here into flower mud…

"Please take care of me."

The other shore flower politely bowed to Lingzi, who waved her hand repeatedly and said, "You're too kind. From now on, we're all Xiaoguyun's people."

After saying that, Lingzi raised an eyebrow at Gu Yun: "Isn't that right, little brother Gu Yun?"

"Cough cough!"

Gu Yun was taken aback by Lingzi's words.

This older sister often joked with him, and Gu Yun was already used to it.

"No more kidding."

Reiko's expression became more serious, and she pointed to the talent on the scroll, saying, "The talent on the scroll, yes, that's my current ability, but this is the first time I've seen this name."

Reiko Natsume received the power of Tanigumo, which, combined with her original cultivation, resulted in a qualitative change.

She can use all her abilities, but she doesn't know what they are called.

Seeing the summary on the scroll, Reiko suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Let me explain it to you, little brother."

The way he addressed me changed to 'brother'.

Reiko has completely let loose!

Gu Yun didn't care what she called him—younger brother, little brother, older brother, Gu Yun's younger brother, little Gu Yun—it all carried a teasing and playful tone.

He knew that Reiko was genuinely happy.

It wasn't the joy of gaining power, but rather that she finally had a place to belong.

Reiko was happy to be with the Four Heavenly Kings of the Wild Fox Zen Sect.

However, the feeling is different.

Snail, Goshiro Kotaki, and Shiro Tsubaki are more like elders in Reiko's family.

And she herself was the youngest sister, waiting to be married.

However, this youngest sister got old and became an old maid, unable to get married.

To put it bluntly, all three of them have their own families and relatives, but Reiko does not.

She does have a daughter, Natsume Reino.

Ke Ling's relationship with her is not close, because she is a daughter and has no father. She was given a child by a god through prayer.

From the perspective of people in this world, the fetal fruit and the egg fruit are incomplete.

Furthermore, Reiko had no idea how to educate her daughter, which made their mother-son relationship extremely strained.

So, only today, at the moment when Gu Yun has completely accepted Lingzi, does she truly have a family of her own and a new safe haven.

"First and foremost, the netherworld."

The two tacitly avoided mentioning each other's overflowing emotions. Lingzi continued in a joyful tone, "If the power of the spider lily is the soil of the underworld, then my power is the water of the afterlife, irrigating the vast ocean of the world of the dead."

Reiko's concept of the netherworld is not simply about water, but rather an image, a concept.

In mythology, the deceased must cross a river to reach the other side.

However, mortals and heroes cannot cross the water directly; they need a ferryman, the only one who can take them to another world.

The forces of the netherworld and the underworld are mainly twofold.

The first is to use the water of the dead to devour the lives of all living beings, to taint, pollute, and permeate them.

The other is to draw a dividing line.

The two sides of the line represent life on one side and death on the other.

The two cannot cross over to each other unless Reiko's permission is obtained.

"This talent is quite impressive."

Gu Yun carefully analyzed Lingzi's description of the Netherworld and discovered that it was far more complex and terrifying than Lingzi had described.

This move was almost imbued with the power of the entire Yellow Springs world's rules, as it was used to fight the enemy.

Only by surpassing the power of the other world can this suppression be broken.

However, looking at all dimensions and worlds, the power of the other world is definitely among the strongest, even surpassing that of the divine world.

After all, the concepts of death, reincarnation, and rest are all very powerful.

"It's really great."

The red spider lily herself was a ruler of the other world. She could see Reiko's potential and was genuinely happy for her: "The waters of the Nine Springs, the sea of ​​red spider lilies, it seems our powers are highly compatible."

Chapter 290 Dormitory Supervisor Natsume Reiko

"Haha, it seems so, Little Flower."

"Little, Little Flower..."

The corners of the spider lily's mouth twitched slightly, and her exquisite face gradually contorted.

She felt like hitting someone.

If Gu Yun hadn't been here, the red spider lily would have definitely made Natsume Reiko understand why the red spider lily is so red!

"Oh, don't be so stingy."

Lingzi chuckled and moved closer to the spider lily, teasingly asking, "Don't you think 'Little Flower' sounds lovely?"

"It sounds like cats and dogs."

"Ah, that seems to be the case."

Lingzi scratched her head and laughed, "Then let's change it. From now on, I'll call you Hana-chan."

"..."

Sister Hua stared intently at Lingzi, seemingly sensing the aura emanating from her and realizing something: "Your current identity seems to..."

"Well."

Sister Hua shook her head: "If you like it, that's fine."

"Mmm, please take care of me from now on, Hana-chan, hehe."
