Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Even if it's a demon, what difference does it make if it's human?"

"When you meet your destined one, you always want to rush headlong into the fire like a moth to a flame. It's an instinct from the depths of your soul that you can't suppress."

"Does that mean if you encounter a human and a demon in love, you'll have to separate them?"

"Is this really a good idea?"

The little shrine maiden was completely bewildered. She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she also felt that what the older sister in front of her said made a lot of sense, and for a moment she couldn't speak.

She's just a child.

Li Fuyao continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Give me your blessings."

"Every marriage and every relationship deserves respect."

"No one understands this principle better than you."

"Am I right?"

"Yuzuru. A connection?"

It's unclear what Li Fuyao's words struck a chord with, but the loli witch's expression changed drastically, her mouth agape, and she froze in shock.

Just then, footsteps sounded again.

Li Fu shook his head without even looking up, while Uesugi Kiyoshi cast his gaze over, his pupils instantly shrinking.

Created by himself as a "beginner's guide" for his future self, the Hundred Demons Scroll has once again belatedly issued its prompts.

"Unidentified divine power fluctuations detected; the nature of the power is questionable. Repeat testing in progress."

"Detection failed, return to database for retrieval."

"The possibility of deities is ruled out, and the matter is left ambiguous."

“Power nature analogy—Ooeyama Oni Clan, fifty percent.”

"Onmyoji techniques, Kamo lineage, fifty percent."

"."

The synthesized voice seemed to have crashed, gradually fading into a low pitch.

In Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, a handsome young man, who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, was walking towards him, dressed in a very traditional Onmyoji hunting robe.

Chapter 303 Yoshida Shinto

Upon seeing the young Onmyoji dressed in hunting robes approaching, the Shinto priest Yuusuke felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

"Quickly, Igarashi, take Yui back and let her reflect on her actions!"

"She used her magic in public again and offended our distinguished guest. She won't admit her mistake, so I won't let her eat!"

Even as a father, he has to reprimand his daughter sternly in front of outsiders; he has to maintain this demeanor.

The handsome young man, known as Igarashi, nodded silently, took the little shrine maiden's hand, and turned to leave without a word.

Somewhat surprisingly, the little girl, who was completely indifferent to her father, obediently let the young Onmyoji hold her hand and walked away quietly.

However, she often looked back at Li Fuyao waving goodbye to her, and her expression was not like that of a child.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, however, only stared at the young Onmyoji.

It wasn't because of the warning from the Hundred Demons Scroll.

He now understood that the Scroll of One Hundred Demons wasn't all-powerful. He had learned all the uses of the Scroll of One Hundred Demons, after all, he had even awakened the memory of how it was designed.

In his past life, he created a database, recording the powers of all the people, gods, and demons he had ever encountered, making it easier to identify them.

He even compiled a very powerful function—as long as the Hundred Demon Scroll circulates among humans, it can record the powers it has seen, and classify, organize, and label them.

With this ability, he can distinguish between friends and enemies in a timely manner, and also gain the upper hand when gathering demon souls.

The so-called "collecting of demon souls" was merely a process of making the ghosts who were already under his command rebuild their faith in him.

"Recognition" signifies the establishment of "bonds".

Therefore, the Hyakki Emaki is not omnipotent; it is not an encyclopedia, but rather a portable notebook.

But the young Onmyoji gave him a vague sense of danger, which couldn't be faked.

With his current strength, the fact that he can sense danger is already a remarkable achievement.

By the time he came to his senses, the priest Yusheng was already exchanging pleasantries with Li Fuyao.

"Miss Fuyao, is that what you came for?"

"Upon receiving your request, Yoshida Shrine immediately launched an investigation and tracked down the clues. As expected, we have found some leads."

"Yoshida Shrine is not far ahead. Would you like to have a cup of tea? I'll tell you all about it."

Li Fuyao shook her head reservedly.

"No need, High Priest Yuzuru. I trust your abilities. Everyone has their own expertise. You are the experts when it comes to dealing with that group."

"I have a family meeting later, and it's getting late, so I won't go."

"How about this, Kiyoshi, why don't you go and have a chat with Priest Yuzuru later? You might find something useful."

Priest Yuzuru had been scrutinizing Uesugi Kiyoshi several times since early morning, and now he seized the opportunity to ask, "Ah, I don't know who this gentleman is?"

Li Fuyao answered for Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"He is Uesugi Kiyoshi—my boyfriend."

"He can make any decision on my behalf. I can just report to him about the matter I entrusted to you."

After speaking, Li Fuyao frowned and gave Yu Sheng a meaningful look.

The priest, being a seasoned middle-aged man, immediately understood what this meant—the couple probably had something to say to each other, and he was just being a third wheel.

"Okay, I understand. Uesugi-kun, right? Our shrine is not far ahead. I'll go back and make some tea, and wait for your arrival."

"I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation, looking hurried.

Once the Yoshida Shrine official had gone some distance, Uesugi Kiyoshi turned to Li Fuyao and spoke somewhat inexplicably.

"Do you know this man?"

"He treats you as politely as if you were meeting your boss."

Li Fuyao nodded.

"Yes, he is the head of Yoshida Shinto and a high-ranking official at Yoshida Shrine in Kyoto. Don't let his greasy middle-aged appearance fool you; he has real skills."

"That little girl was her daughter; it was Yuzuru's connection with her."

"Of course he had to be polite to me. Before, when Akutagawa and the others had just had their accident, I went to see the scene."

"Based on their description, I think the attacker was most likely a superhuman, and bald at that. I wondered, could he be a monk?"

"There are many practitioners in Buddhism, and there are countless Buddhist temples in Kyoto. It would be virtually impossible to conduct a thorough investigation."

"So, I donated a sum of money to Yoshida Shrine that they absolutely could not refuse, and entrusted this matter to them."

"The origin of Yoshida Shinto is the criticism that Shintoism relies on Buddhism and uses Buddhist theories to explain Shinto doctrines."

"These priests and witches are extremely hostile to Buddhism, and they are very good at dealing with monks."

"Look, it's only been two days, and there are already results."

"You don't need to see me off when you go to see him. Just let me know when you get the results."

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded, indicating that he understood, then asked with some confusion, "What about that little girl?"

"She seems to be able to see through the demonic power within you."

"But I don't know him at all, and the Hundred Demons Scroll didn't give any hints. I remember that the reason those demons were able to reincarnate was because of a plan we devised, her."

Li Fuyao knew what Uesugi Kiyoshi wanted to ask.

"No, she is not. She was never among the hundred demons under your command."

"She is a god."

"There are some things you haven't thought of yet. Actually, the ultimate purpose of reincarnation is not 'rebirth,' but to become 'human.'"

"I can't say any more to you."

"These things are very sensitive."

"But Xiaoyuan is different; she is a deity who exists in the world in various forms."

"It's just that the one we met happened to be in human form."

"She is the Goddess of Fate."

"The deity who governs marriage and love."

"A red thread binds three lifetimes, and a golden bell under the moon seals a marriage."

"Back then, she was an incredibly powerful deity. Every vow of eternal love and every red thread of fate that bound them together would enhance her divine power."

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.

What she didn't know was that humans are extremely fickle creatures.

"The marriage has fallen apart, and the red thread of fate has been broken."

"There was even a god specifically for severing fates—that god is named Yasui Kinhira, and there is a shrine to him in Kyoto."

"The power of the Goddess of Fate weakened and disintegrated rapidly, and she began a life of wandering and displacement."

"She walks through the world in different forms, working tirelessly for thousands of years to bring together more couples and destinies."

"Xiaoyuan is still young."

"When she comes of age, perhaps she will be able to recall her long-forgotten memories or mission."

Uesugi Kiyoshi digested the massive amount of information and nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand. I'll go to Yoshida Shrine later."
