Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"never mind."

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

Yu Yao was ultimately a great spirit fox, and the most taboo thing for a demon who cultivates spiritual power is to bear the karma of killing, which would cause the spiritual power to be mixed with curses.

This would be extremely detrimental to his spiritual practice.

At least until Gu Yun kills Kong Huan, Yu Yao will not harm him or the people around him.

That's how fox spirits are; they have a clear sense of right and wrong.

If a spirit fox receives a favor, it will repay it a hundredfold, and may even offer itself in marriage and bear children for the other person.

Conversely, fox spirits are also the most vengeful of all the monsters.

Gu Yun had no good solution to this.

"I will go to him again to explain and give him some advice."

Miss Tianhu believed that as long as she explained things clearly, the misunderstanding between the two sides would be resolved sooner or later.

So in the following days, Gu Yun had Kong Huan go to Yu Yao again and again, hoping to make him understand that he really hadn't bullied his sister.

The days passed like this.

It's the weekend, and it's Yang Nai's birthday.

Yukinoshita Haruno, the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, is also the little girl who will soon become Tamaki Iijima's adopted daughter.

The group was traveling in a black, extended limousine.

The carriage was unusually quiet throughout the journey.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Miyako's family was very tense. They checked their formal attire repeatedly, afraid that they might wrinkle something and embarrass the Iijima family.

"It's really okay, Miyako."

The mother didn't know what to say, so she kept comforting them, which finally put Miyako's family at ease.

"Also, Yang is a very cute child, you will definitely like her."

Upon hearing this, Miyako immediately calmed down: "Really? Is it really that cute?"

"Of course!"

Tamaki Iijima chuckled softly, "Yoyo is like an angel."

"An angel? She seems a little different from the one I remember."

I remember in "Spring Love", Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to be a rather cunning and scheming older sister type. She was more like a little devil than an angel.

"Ok?"

The mother asked in confusion, "Gu Yun, have you ever met Yang Nai? How come I don't know her?"

"Oh, I was right."

Gu Yun explained, "Impression! Yes, it's an impression!"

"impression?"

"Ahem, that's not important."

Gu Yun quickly changed the subject: "By the way, if Yang Nai becomes your goddaughter, Mother, then wouldn't that mean she's my sister?"

Gu Yun's impression of Yang Nai mainly comes from "Spring Love".

In reality, Gu Yun had never even seen a photo of her.

Moreover, the 2-year-old girl hasn't fully grown up yet; besides being cute, there doesn't seem to be any other adjective to describe her.

Koyo has a long way to go before she becomes that cunning and ruthless witch in her early twenties.

"Today marks the official alliance between the Iijima family and the Yukinoshita family."

Today, Nao Hayasaka didn't let the three-tailed fox drive; instead, she drove herself to the birthday party with her mother and son, as well as the three members of Miyako's family.

"However, Xuejian is different from others."

As she spoke, Iijima introduced Miyako and the others: "Yukinoshita Mei, who is the head of the Yukinoshita family (Yono's father married into the Yukinoshita family), is my junior from the same school. We have always had a good relationship from high school to university."

However, at that time, Mei was relatively wealthy, while Iijima Tamaki was just an ordinary person.

She built her business from scratch after university.

Whether in their school days or after entering the workforce, the two have always had a good relationship.

In this friendship, Tamaki Iijima and Mei do not value each other's status or position.

They are kindred spirits, best friends with whom one can confide their deepest feelings!

Even if all identities were removed, Yukinoshita Mei and Iijima Tamaki would still be close friends who could share secrets and go through thick and thin together.

"The reason I chose to form a formal alliance is because I trust Mei, and she trusts me too."

The Iijima family has grown larger and larger, and with the blessing of Kūgen, there is no end in sight; it changes almost every day.

If a month ago the Iijima family was only capable of supporting the Yukinoshita family's political career...

So now it all boils down to two words—take them flying!

Chapter 48 Tamaki Iijima: My child can't be this poor.

Judging from the development trend of the Iijima family, the heights they can reach in the future are unimaginable to the current Yukinoshita family.

With the support of Tamaki Iijima, the Yukinoshita family's political career will be incredibly easy.

Of course, there are bound to be many intricacies involved.

If partners are suspicious of each other, Tamaki Iijima can accept the losses, but she cannot accept betrayal and deception.

Tamaki Iijima knew Mei's personality very well.

She was aloof and somewhat arrogant, like a well-bred young lady from a strict family—disciplined, excellent, and extremely virtuous.

The Iijima family needs a voice that can carry weight in politics.

In that case, let's choose the Yukino family and help them climb from their current middle level to the top, or even surpass the pinnacle.

why not?

“If we can really succeed,” Nao Hayasaka said, “the loyalty of the Yukinoshita family will no longer be an issue.”

Imagine, ten or twenty years from now, when the Yukinoshita family stands on high ground, and behind this family stands the Iijima family.

He's like a talent nurtured from childhood, a trusted confidant and beloved general.

"Mother, aren't you getting a little too big for your britches?"

Gu Yun could tell that Hayasaka Nao and Iijima Tamaki didn't mean to look down on the Yukinoshita family, but their attitudes clearly showed a distinction between master and servant.

Tamaki Iijima wants to win over the Yukinoshita family and make them follow her.

Just like the Hiratsuka family now, they are clinging tightly to Tamaki Iijima, sharing her fate.

Under a snowy sky, he became a powerful figure in the political arena.

The Hiratsuka family runs rampant in the yakuza world.

With connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, Tamaki Iijima's ambitions have become increasingly apparent.

"Oh, how scary, Xiao Huan."

Miyako expressed concern that she might know too much and be silenced.

The Gao family were just ordinary folks, a bunch of cowards.

"It's just a dream."

Tamaki Iijima did want to win over the Yukinoshita family, but she didn't intend to boss them around; rather, she planned to build a sufficiently large network of interests.

If there's money to be made, everyone should make money; if there are benefits, they certainly won't be left out.

Moreover, since Iijima Tamaki is the leader herself, it doesn't seem like a big deal to acknowledge her as the boss.

Mei, at least, stated quite frankly that she was willing to follow Iijima Tamaki's lead.

Some people might think that Mei is playing some kind of trick.

In fact, that's not true.

Mei has been partnered with Tamaki Iijima for almost ten years.

From high school clubs to university clubs, and then to dating and marriage, her mother has always been like an older sister, helping Mei with advice and planning.

Even Mei's relationship with her husband only came to fruition thanks to Tamaki Iijima's advice.

Therefore, Tamaki Iijima is a benefactor to the Yukinoshita family.

This friendship was enough to earn Tamaki Iijima's trust and full support.

In particular, with the bursting of Japan's bubble economy and the ensuing economic crisis, Yukinoshita's business suffered a severe downturn.

The Yukinoshita family was able to escape this calamity entirely thanks to the mother's intervention, which can be described as turning the tide.

"Mei is a little sister!"

Throughout Tamaki Iijima's relationship with Mei, she has always been the senior, so Mei will not complain about continuing to be the junior.

Ten years have passed, what is there for her to be unaccustomed to?

There's one more thing.

Mei's personality makes her prone to offending people with her words, so she has only had one friend since childhood—Tamarik Iijima.

Based on this alone, her mother was able to have Yukinoshita Mei completely under her thumb.

"is it?"

Gu Yun had some doubts, but he knew his mother's personality best.

Given Yukinoshita's personality in "Spring Love," is the master-servant relationship between the two really as the mother described?

Gu Yun always felt that Yukinoshita Mei was the one with the highest IQ in this pair.

The mother, so carefree and unconcerned with details, seemed like the one who would cause trouble for Mrs. Yukinoshita.
