In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

Facing Lu Kang's slightly turned gaze and the words spoken by the young Onmyoji, the figure that gracefully descended from the sky slightly raised its arm and swung the vermilion wine bowl it had been holding since it appeared. The clear wine in the bowl rippled under the bright moonlight, reflecting the Oni King's pair of purple eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the deep eyes of the human boy who was almost thirteen years old but already a little taller than her.

She said, "Can you feel it? My side, which originates from 'Yamata no Yamata'?"

Yamata no Orochi.

In ancient mythology, the most powerful evil god who wreaked havoc on the world of Yamato.

It was something that made all the gods tremble and tremble. In the end, it was the war god Susanoo-no-Mikoto—one of the three main gods of Yamato, and the one who symbolizes the human world among heaven, earth, and man—who tricked him into drinking sake and getting drunk before killing him with the divine weapon Totsuka-no-Tsurugi.

Of course, mythology is mythology, and reality is reality. The gods of the mythological era, as the tentacles of the planet and the essence of ancient nature, are immortal. But if even the 'chief god' needs to go to such great lengths to deal with, then the Yamata no Orochi must at least possess power that is comparable to or even slightly superior to it.

Shuten-dōji is both a derivative of Yamata no Orochi and a manifestation of its split spirit.

It is 'below the gods'—an undeniably great demon.

This was indeed all that Lu Kang could perceive.

Indeed, it was he who revealed the truth about Ibuki-dōji.

Lu Kang took half a step forward, flicked his long sleeves and turned around leisurely. He did not immediately respond to the other party's question. Under the bright moonlight, he finally saw the true form of this great demon.

It was neither ferocious nor terrifying. Its figure was as petite as the shadow Lu Kang had caught a glimpse of when it landed. Thick, shoulder-length purple hair hung down its head, with neat bangs swaying in front of its forehead. Two upright vermilion ghost horns cut it into three sections. Its deep purple eyes seemed to be hiding in the depths of hell, and its upturned vermilion lips carried a hint of unruly freedom.

Her attire was revealing; she was simply draped in a purple kimono, revealing a glimpse of her fair, undulating figure. Apart from the simple covering, she was practically naked. Her legs were crossed and protruded from the kimono, creating a subtly visible curve. Her inclination towards pleasure was evident in her appearance without needing to be spoken.

"Is this the infamous Shuten-dōji, the one who can make children afraid to cry?" Lu Kang looked him up and down without any hesitation: "He doesn't look scary at all!"

"uh-huh?"

Shuten-dōji continued to laugh, seemingly unconcerned: "What's frightening is never the appearance—it's the inner self, you know?"

She swirled the drink, then placed her hand on her slightly heaving yet still very flat chest, leaving faint red marks where her fingertips traced the surface.

"Would you like to give it a try?" she asked, seemingly inviting him.

"Inside out, there is nothing but a heart and a liver."

Lu Kang sat directly on the ground without moving.

Although it was somewhat unexpected that it was the world-renowned Shuten-dōji who came instead of Ashiya Dōman, he couldn't just drive him away since the other party had come. It wasn't that he couldn't do it; if he used all his abilities, the phantom spirit power he had accumulated in this life, and the dual powers of soul and body he had established in his later life, along with the foundation of the ultimate crown rank, driving Shuten away would not be a problem.

Shuten-dōji was ultimately just a fallen form of Orochi's lower-ranking spirit, not the original spirit of Orochi, not a true 'main god', nor a side aspect of the lord of a pantheon.

But that will inevitably bring about turmoil and setbacks.

That's not what Lu Kang wanted.

Not to mention that the other party didn't seem to be there to cause trouble for me.

Having come from the future, reincarnated twice, and experienced three lifetimes, Lu Kang could not possibly be the kind of rigid Yin-Yang Master who opposes all demons and monsters in the world.

"In your opinion, do demons also have hearts?" Shuten-dōji saw Lu Kang sit down and then sat down as well—on the roof of the Yin-Yang Bureau. Though he said he sat down, he was practically lying on his side. His body was supple as he spoke while raising the sake bowl in his hand to drink, letting the cool sake drip down the edge of his red lips, splashing onto his clothes and skin, leaving a translucent sheen.

"Have."

Lu Kang leaned forward slightly: "But I think you shouldn't have it."

"Why?" Shuten-dōji put down his sake bowl and licked his lips.

"Because I can tell you're not here to fight me—if you're not here to fight, then you're a guest."

Lu Kang pointed to the wine bowl in Shuten-dōji's hand: "And since he is a guest, how can he drink wine in front of the host without regard for his own safety?"

"As a local demon, this is incredibly rude!"

"Ha!" Shuten-dōji considered many possibilities, but she hadn't thought of this one. Looking at the innocent young onmyoji's genuine expression, she found it amusing.

She handed over the wine bowl: "Would you like some?"

"Drink." Lu Kang flicked his sleeve, took the cup, and drank it all in one gulp!

Then he wiped his lips and commented: "Bad wine."

"It has no taste at all, just like plain water."

Shuten-dōji: "..."

She was thinking, "I'm inviting you for a drink, and you don't even accept, which is fine, but you've ruined Rui Ping's reputation?"

She thought to herself that this boy not only seemed unafraid of her poisoning him, but also seemed to have no distance between them whatsoever.

"You're really something else."

"It wasn't for nothing that I've been observing you for so long!"

Shuten-dōji chuckled and spoke thus.

From the extremely Yin Night three months ago until now, she has been observing the Onmyoji named Sugawara no Hajime. Three months ago, she had planned to participate in that once-in-thirty-years extremely Yin Night, but she had just set off from Mount Oe and had not yet arrived when she received the news that the Gate of the Netherworld had closed and the extremely Yin Night had ended.

She heard that a young Onmyoji had wiped out many demons, including a great yokai, in less than half a night.

She heard that the young man had already reached the rank of Grand Onmyoji at a young age.

Its name is 'Sugawara no Hajime'.

She developed a strong interest in it.

From then on, I began to observe it—until this day, this night, when I came here in person.

"A voyeur?" Lu Kang stroked his chin.

"That's interesting, isn't it?" Shuten-dōji smiled. "Also, the wine you just drank was actually poisoned, you know?"

The alcohol is poisonous.

What is insignificant to a great demon, merely adding a bit of amusement, is an absolutely deadly toxin to humans.

“I know, that’s why I didn’t drink it.”

Lu Kang raised his finger.

A sliver of water dripped from her fingertips: "It's all here."

Seeing this, Shuten-dōji finally couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter was crisp and childlike yet very loud, indicating great joy.

"You're so interesting, so much fun!" she said. "Why don't you abandon your boring human identity and become a demon in Mount Ooe?"

"We revel in pleasure, drink to our hearts' content, indulge in fine wine, fight to the death, touch skin to skin, and deceive one another—isn't that a unique experience?"

She raised her hand.

One second she was still a few steps away, the next she was suddenly close to Lu Kang—she straddled him, her body swaying and undulating, flat yet alluring.

“If we’re talking about deception and fighting to the death…wouldn’t it be more interesting to be human and demon?” Lu Kang grabbed her hand that had slipped inside his clothes and slid it down to her shoulder.

Lu Kang also experienced what it meant to have an old shoulder that was incredibly slippery—Shuten made a sideways movement and slid directly behind him.

"Humans and demons...hehe, hahaha...that's certainly interesting."

"Sugawara Hajime, is that right?"

"You're really interesting—I'll come back again, with more drinks, to see you!"

She drifted away amidst those sounds.

The celestial phenomena indicate that the yin energy has receded.

Only Lu Kang remained, sitting on the roof of the Yin-Yang Bureau, sighing softly, thinking that he had probably provoked another formidable opponent.

But if one wants to stand at the pinnacle of the times, this is probably inevitable.

and.

This might not be without its benefits for oneself.

...

[It was probably briefly repelled by the 'demon energy' brought by Shuten-dōji that Ashiya Dōman did not reappear for some time afterward.]

Instead, it was Shuten-dōji who would visit every night.

She brought countless fine wines, and also many demons.

She revelled freely at the top of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), completely unafraid of the onmyōji (Yin and Yang Masters) filling the courtyard below—and even less afraid of the great onmyōji Abe no Seimei, who did not spend the night in the Onmyōryō but was not far away.

You drink with her and converse freely with numerous demons, without any restraint.

She's intimately close to you, sitting on your lap, and often tricks you into drinking the most poisonous and toxic wines, then watches you try various methods to counteract it.

You often transform alcohol into evil spirits, invading its body—only to be directly devoured by it.

Enjoy both the joy and the crisis.

[You have thus gained the 'thoughts' of the most powerful demon in the world.]

[Similar to a spirit born of the spirit]

You invited Shuten-dōji and a host of demons into your 'Evil Spirit Palace'.

At the party, you met Ibaraki-dōji, the strongest subordinate of Shuten-dōji, known as the "Demon of Rashomon"—he was the first "demon" of the underworld to emerge from Rashomon, not summoned.

[A blonde little girl who looks exactly like Shuten-dōji, with a cold exterior but a truly explosive temper.]

At the party, you also met many other demons.

You resolved a dispute involving spirits and deities at a cocktail party.

You have earned their approval.

You have gained more demonic 'thoughts'.

You roam the human world by day and visit 'ghosts and gods' by night.

...

By day he deals with worldly affairs, by night he delves into ghostly matters.

Make a pact with 'demons'.

Kojiki, Shinbian

...

Your fame spreads among the common people, and also among the demons.

You chat with Xiangzi and Nuozi every day, and your emotions accumulate over time.

You secretly meet with Xiangzi at the palace and frequent Kyoto. You discover that the girl is growing up, and her stunning figure is hidden beneath her pink kimono. You praise her for this, and although she is shy, she is also very confident. She likes to discuss poetry, songs, and various novels with you, and she also likes to describe her experiences at the palace. She likes to listen to your voice and likes to secretly pretend to kiss you in the sunlight when you close your eyes. As time goes by, the filter of her admiration for you has gradually faded, replaced by boundless joy every time she sees you.

[You and Nuozi are also in the same Yin-Yang Bureau. You laugh and joke with each other, and your fingers touch as you chat. Nuozi likes to describe her childhood experiences of following her father in business. You also talk to her about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty that has been destroyed across the ocean. You will have small arguments while talking, and you will also secretly touch your fingers and touch your thighs together, and then show a stimulating and funny expression.]

It's not just you.

[Xiangzi and Nuozi also began to have poems passed down to posterity]

It is widely rumored that they are all your "disciples"—originally, as they grew up, some suitors should have naturally emerged among the powerful and noble, but after hearing these rumors, those people dared not make any further moves.

The name "Peacock Prince" and the identity of a Grand Yin-Yang Master mean that no one in this era would dare to provoke him easily.

Your status has risen steadily over time.

At the age of fourteen, you were officially appointed as the 'Assistant of Onmyo,' and in the absence of Seimei, you were given full authority to manage the Onmyo Bureau.

[Fifteen years old]

In this year, Emperor Enyu abdicated and became a monk, followed by Emperor Kazan's abdication. The imperial court underwent a series of changes, and Emperor Ichijo ascended the throne, changing the era name to Kanwa.

In this year, Fujiwara no Kaneie assumed the position of regent, Taisho.

While maintaining your status as a member of the Bureau of Yin and Yang, you were summoned to the Grand Government by Fujiwara no Kaneie and given the title of Junior Fifth Rank 'Shonagon', granting you the authority to advise the court on policies.

From this point on, you possess political influence that extends beyond the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) and extends to more practical areas.

You will step out of the Onmyoji Bureau.

[Entering the political arena where one can better influence the hearts and minds of the people and unite their thoughts]

After reaching a dead end in the field where he made his name through 'literature'.

Lu Kang had already thought about it.

He wants to connect the two routes that take a long time to complete!
