From the flickering shadows of the fire, the ghosts of the fire priests and the priestesses emerged and pounced towards Liucheng and Shinomiya Kaguya, trying to stop them from opening the coffin and destroying the barbaric and ignorant act of the Higami Mountain barrier.

The old maiden with silver hair and wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume hunched over and said in her unclear and hoarse voice: "The person you are looking for has been secretly married.

This is their mission as human pillars. Disturbing them will cause a riot in Yequan and lead to a terrible disaster...

Let the two of you be secretly married and become "human pillars" as the price for disturbing the Eternal Flower!

Haha...there are really only a handful of couples who go up the mountain together.

Especially this girl, with your powerful spiritual power, you are even qualified to become a "big pillar"..."

After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Shinomiya Kaguya, who was motionless because she had found her mother.

"At this time, you still want to disturb the mother and daughter to recognize each other, don't you think this behavior is very excessive?

How long have you been dead?

Why can he still maintain his spiritual intelligence instead of relying on the instincts that remain in his consciousness before death like them?"

The dim light slowly illuminated the inquiring expression on Liu Cheng's face. As he activated his ability, the conscientious girl began to doubt everything that was happening before her eyes.

The world seemed to be paused, and the ghosts were trapped in time without moving. Only the normal flow of time was maintained near the coffin containing Qingshui Mingyezhu.

With trembling hands, Kaguya Shinomiya touched her mother's long black hair, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and gently combed it and hung it behind her ears.

For more than ten years, Qingshui Mingyezhu's body has been corroded by Yequan and is as cold as a dead person. However, due to the special properties of Yequan, she has maintained the same appearance as when she was first placed in the coffin. Her regular facial features without any makeup are as beautiful as Shinomiya Kaguya.

This young-looking mother-in-law looks like a larger version of Kaguya Shinomiya.

Perhaps because she had just given birth to a child before entering the coffin cage, Shimizu Nayatake's figure is more plump and mature than Shinomiya Kaguya.

“Mom…Mom!”

Shinomiya Kaguya stared at Ming Yezhu's familiar and delicate facial features and whispered softly. She reached out and took her mother out of the coffin and hugged Ming Yezhu tightly, wanting to use her body to warm her mother who had been suffering from mental torture for a long time.

Liu Cheng stood beside his girlfriend and watched with some confusion. He wanted to lend a hand but felt that it was not appropriate to do so.

This young mother-in-law, who looked only a few years older than herself, was soaked by the night spring. Her loose, semi-transparent shrine maiden costume clung tightly to Ming Yezhu's exquisite body. Even some details similar to Shinomiya Kaguya were emphasized.

"There is still hope... As long as we take my mother-in-law back to paradise and enter the dream world to find her original body and revive her, the pain she has endured after waking up will need time and companionship to ease."

Liu Cheng half-knelt and gently stroked Shinomiya Kaguya's trembling back. Shimizu Nayatake slowly opened her eyes from the long and dark death, and she soon realized that she was being hugged tightly by a strange girl.

When her dark red eyes met Liu Cheng's, a look of surprise appeared on her transparent pale face.

"...Who are you?"

The long sleep in the coffin had already made Ming Yezhu lose all strength in her body, making her unable to resist Shinomiya Kaguya's hugging her.

"Kaguya, you and your mother-in-law should go back and reunite first. Leave this to me."

Liu Cheng simply explained his and Kaguya's identities to Ming Yezhu, and after watching Kaguya leave with her mother, he turned to Yume with a smile.

"Then let's discuss the details of the "ghost marriage". I wonder if there are any witches left on this Rishang Mountain who have not had a ghost marriage?

Please invite them all out. I want to share my longing with them and perform the "ghost marriage" ceremony."

Chapter 371 All of Them

"Oh my, our Lady Yukinoshita, don't you want to say something after seeing this?

This is no longer a question of dividing into five or ten equal parts, right? "

Kasumigaoka Utaha was shaking her long legs wildly, her shiny black hair was wriggling like a snake, and her whole body was emitting a dark evil aura from hell.

"You and I both know that 'ghost marriage' is just a ritual of sharing pain, so there's no need to provoke me like this."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the scene in front of her where Orange followed Yui from Higashinyama into Yui's house, and spoke lightly.

"You are one of those who want to save the souls of these witches. You are also the one who started to envy them because of the "ghost marriage ceremony"...Have you ever considered Liucheng's feelings?"

Yukinoshita looked at Yumeko Jabami who was smiling and following Kaguya and her daughter away, then stood up and walked to the nearby kitchen to prepare tea, leaving Kasumigaoka Utaha alone to think.

At first, the girls were concerned about the "Yellow Springs" that appeared in the world, but after knowing that Liucheng could easily solve it, they no longer paid too much attention to it.

Although the fate of those witches is worthy of sympathy, they also have their own lives.

Yukinoshita Yukino returned with a set of black tea cups, and after giving one to Kasumigaoka Utaha, the two of them sipped in silence.

Kasumigaoka Utaha relaxed her body, lay back on the sofa, held the tea in her hands, pursed her lips, and blew the tea cool without haste.

She was not as anxious as she was when she used words to provoke Yukinoshita Yukino, nor was she jealous of someone who had died.

Yukinoshita Yukino maintained a straight posture, holding a teacup and watching the "ghost marriage" ceremony that had already begun.

——————-————

The home of knot.

In a room filled with ema paintings of various shrine maidens, Liu Cheng sat down cross-legged and looked curiously at those old-fashioned portraits of women.

"Which one do you like, sir? I will call her soul to hold a "ghost marriage" with you. With your looks, it will definitely be successful."

The elderly Yui was like a robot with a written program. After receiving the "ghost marriage" request from Cheng, she immediately let go of her concern about Shinomiya Kaguya taking away the "central pillar" Shimizu Nayatake, and actively guided Cheng to Yui's house.

Before the "Human Pillar" ceremony is performed by the shrine maidens of Rishang Mountain, they can only meet a handful of men. Except for the shrine maidens who become "Dazhu" who have the privilege of choosing the man of their choice, the "ghost marriage" ceremony is usually successful as long as the man who comes for the "ghost marriage" is of acceptable appearance.

"Didn't I tell you? Please invite all the witches who haven't had a ghost marriage to come out.

How would I know what the women in these paintings really look like if I haven’t seen them with my own eyes?

Why don't you start taking action?"

Liucheng raised his eyebrows, and his voice was like a loud bell, which shocked Jienu so much that she was fascinated and instinctively called out the souls of those witches according to Liucheng's request.

The first person to appear was a beautiful girl, wearing a white wedding gown and sitting quietly with an indelible sense of loneliness between her brows.

"Hinasaki Fukaha?"

Liucheng looked at this product of orthopedics and felt a little strange.

The taciturn girl just glanced at Liucheng, then sat there quietly waiting.

Among the priestesses who appeared one after another, only the little loli Baiju with white hair and red eyes could be recognized by Liucheng at a glance. The other women all had impeccable looks and each had their own characteristics.

These priestesses are all quite good-looking, but their short lives are too tragic.

"My Lord, do you know...?"

The state of Yume Ghost looks very exhausted. Summoning so many souls of the priestesses at once is also a huge burden for her.

"I want them all. I'll take their souls with me."

The moment Liucheng opened her mouth, the priestesses who had remained silent all looked up with anger on their faces after being disrespected.

Their beautiful faces changed and they showed their faces eroded by the night spring to Liucheng without any concealment, trying to make him regret it.

“It’s really pitiful...

This is the only way to test someone's sincerity and scare off those lustful men.

Is this considered photo fraud?

But it doesn't matter.

Because I have also done some work on my appearance, it’s time for you to see what I look like now!”

In front of all the priestesses, Liucheng stopped the changes in her appearance, and the pure white tentacles that had been sticking out from the dream began to wriggle darkly in the room full of priestesses.

The dense white scales on the surface of the tentacles fluttered, and beneath those tens of thousands of white scales, countless golden eyes stared at the witches strangely, making them feel cold all over and their souls tremble.

This unprecedented and terrifying monster made the priestesses scream in fear and they tried to transform into spirits and escape from the House of Yui.

“Oh haha!!”

Liucheng used his tentacles to entangle the witches one by one, making terrifying sounds like an evil villain.

"Now that you have regretted it, you have no right to refuse!"

While he "read" the memories of these priestesses deep in their souls and sharing the pain with the dead to alleviate their suffering, he threw their souls into his own dreams to resurrect them.

When Yukino Yukinoshita in the Evolution Paradise saw this situation, she helplessly put down her teacup and held her head as if she had a headache.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smacked her lips. It was indeed the Aihara Ryuochi she was familiar with.

When it comes to playing pranks on people, he's still as annoying as ever.

"Let's go. It's time to arrange work for the priestesses who will be going up the mountain that day."

There are naturally conditions for resurrecting those witches and ending their suffering.

----------------

"My Lord! You can't do this!

Without the suppression of these "central pillars", the barrier on the mountain has disappeared, and the overflowing night springs will spread from Rishang Mountain to the surrounding areas, causing an extremely terrible disaster! "

Yume cried out at the top of her lungs, prostrating herself on the ground, begging Liu Cheng to show mercy and return the souls of the priestesses.

Ignoring the crying Yui, Orange snapped her fingers and pulled Esdeath out of the paradise.

"Get to work. Create a fog to cover the mountain below us so that no one can detect what's happening here. Also, freeze the black water that's overflowing from the mountain.

If you can do it, I will give you a chance. If you can't, just be content and be a slave girl in paradise for the rest of your life."

After hearing Liu Cheng's order, Esdeath began to move her body excitedly: "No enemies?"

“No, it tests your control over your abilities.

By the way, I'll let you see the difference in strength between you and me."

When Liu Cheng passed by Esdeath, she took the initiative to reach out and patted her shoulder.

The once most powerful general of the empire turned his head and stared at Liu Cheng's departing figure with a fiery gaze, "This is truly a rare opportunity. I won't let you down."

Chapter 372: Humph, want to escape?

Thick, impenetrable fog fell from the top of Mt. Rishang, and the eerie cold air passed through the spooky forest and attacked Aihara Yuzu and his group.

Unable to bear the cold, Kurosawa Mika hugged her arms and exhaled white air from her mouth.
