It is enough.

At this moment, Yinglin suddenly looked up at the sky and vaguely saw a familiar figure.

Stubborn yet adorable, the white-haired girl tries her best to show off her talent, which makes her seem arrogant. She has asked him many times for the essence of celestial magic.

Unfortunately, it drifted away so quickly that he didn't even have time to see it clearly.

Could it be that he used celestial magic to attract Director U here?

What kind of Heian-kyo is this?!

Did I misjudge him?

Yinglin put aside this doubt for the time being. After dealing with Shuten-dōji, he would use the same method he used to lure out Izanami to open that stupid Mary's box!

Olga Marie didn't show up, but someone else did—

It was during this era that Ibuki-dōji was arguably the strongest.

Due to the limitations imposed by the late Age of Gods, Tamamo-no-Mae could no longer freely utilize the power of a chief god.

It is easy for people to notice this and label it as disrupting the course of history.

"Yinglin~ The wine you gave me last time was really delicious, thank you so much, sister."

With that, Ibuki-dōji opened his arms and hugged Kagerin tightly, much to the astonishment of Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji.

Tamamo-no-Mae did not stop it, ultimately because Ibuki, knowing that he could kill the main god and devour her body when she was weak, did not do so.

They even ignored her existence and didn't tell anyone.

Letting her hug Yinglin isn't out of the question...

Ugh! I'm still a little annoyed.

Noticing Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze, Ibuki-douji reluctantly released the adorable boy and spoke in a pleading tone for the first time.

"I rarely ask for favors, but could you do me a favor this time?"

She looked at Shuten-dōji, whose attitude had suddenly hardened, who stood with his arms crossed and appeared very proud.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Each with Their Own Hidden Intentions

"Hmph, I don't need your help!"

Shuten-dōji turned away disdainfully, leaving behind a haughty and arrogant back view.

“However, I still want to help you out,” Ibuki-dōji said hesitantly, a hint of displeasure gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Ibuki-dōji! From the moment we learned of each other's existence and decided to separate, we were even. I don't need your help with my affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Yinglin instantly understood how Ibuki and Shuten-dōji could coexist.

Given that's the case, and considering Ibuki-doji's personality, he'll at most help you out of consideration for past relationships.

"is it?"

Despite being repeatedly rejected for her good intentions, and even though she was once her other self, and they shared a body, Ibuki Doji couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Of course, Ibuki-doji, I only ever want to tell this gorilla one thing: Don't! Interfere! With! Me!"

I inherited the most useless combination of beauty and intelligence (?).

Why did you inherit so much power and authority?

Shuten-dōji gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Ibuki-dōji.

"Great, great! I shouldn't have had any illusions about you."

This is the first time Ibuki-dōji has ever seen such an outrageous little devil.

She could have lived a happy life by simply putting aside her pride, but instead, she keeps dancing in her sensitive areas.

For the first time, Ibuki-dōji got angry.

She ignored Shuten-dōji and the shivering Ibaraki-dōji, and instead asked Kagerin.

"Xiao Lin, putting everything else aside, would you spare his life for your sister's sake?"

"Of course no problem."

Yinglin replied without hesitation.

When she challenged Ibuki, she held back many times and did not use her powerful abilities at all.

Otherwise, they would have lost long ago.

Most importantly, even though she knew that the fox was a seriously injured god, she still acted as if she didn't see it and happily went about her life.

"Thank you."

"You... um."

Shuten-dōji intended to make a few sarcastic remarks, thinking that Ibuki-dōji wouldn't bother with her. However, she unexpectedly attacked directly, and a water snake rushed out from behind her and locked her body firmly.

"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if I'm being too good to you."

"What are you going to do?"

Finally getting a chance to catch his breath, Shuten-dōji stared in terror at Ibuki, whose expression was hostile.

"Of course, it's about letting you abandon everything from your past and become Xiao Lin's servant~"

As he spoke, Ibuki-dōji's voice grew louder, and he raised an eyebrow at Kagerin, as if hinting at something.

"what?"

"I disagree!"

Shuten-dōji's resistance was ignored by everyone. He struggled violently in mid-air, but he could not escape the snake-like coils.

"I'll just agree, that's all." Ibuki-douji said nonchalantly, and without waiting for Yinglin's consent, he took the lead in helping them sign a contract similar to that of a shikigami.

But the effect will be even more explosive.

She quietly added a sentence.

"Give everything"

Tamamo-no-Mae sensed something was wrong and glared fiercely at Ibuki-dōji, but Ibuki-dōji ignored her completely.

"Oh my, such a perfect contract. I think she will become your right-hand woman. From now on, I'll ask you to help me teach Shuten-dōji a lesson and let us restore our old friendship."

"Hmm..." Yinglin was very suspicious, but he didn't know what Ibuki-doji's purpose was, so he could only agree.

"Okay, I'll teach her a lesson for you."

Thank you so much!

Ignoring Tamamo-no-Mae and Minamoto no Yorimitsu's resistance, Ibuki-Douji skillfully and quickly embraced Kagerin's body, rubbing her delicate face against his before reluctantly letting go.

It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future.

Because what I inherited was not just simple power, but many other powers.

Even though we've separated, I can still control her.

Ibuki-dōji has already devised a plan to bypass Tamamo-no-Mae.

"And the other one?" Minamoto no Yorimitsu quietly drew his sword, pointing it at Ibaraki-dōji, who also had no bloodstains.

"Stay here. I remember that Onmyoji has shikigami, right? She's perfect for that."

Considering the influence of Ibuki-dōji, and the fact that Ibaraki-dōji was not tainted by human blood, Minamoto no Yorimitsu chose to remain silent.

Please~

Ibuki-dōji picked up Kagerin again, and despite being the older sister, she acted very innocently.

"I'll keep an eye on her, so you can rest assured."

"Oh my, I'm so happy."

Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze fell on Shuten-dōji or Ibuki, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had missed anything.

Why do I feel uneasy?

"It's getting late, and I need to go back to sleep too. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, you can always let me know in advance."

"Most definitely."

Hearing the boy's promise, Ibuki-dōji left with great joy.

Only Shuten-dōji remained silent, seemingly accepting his fate, but his hostile gaze clearly showed his extreme dissatisfaction.

But no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't change reality.

Then, she thought of something funny.

Putting aside the fact that Ying Lin elbowed him, he himself still fits his own aesthetic standards.

Ibuki-dōji, you like her so much~

Watch how I make you cry your eyes out!

I'll snatch him to my side, and he'll never leave me!

On the way back, Minamoto no Yorimitsu never asked you why you knew so much information, as if it were only natural.

Shuten-dōji didn't cause any trouble; he behaved very obediently and willingly followed your lead.

Ibaraki, she's a loaf of bread.

After you've gone far away, in that purified ghost town, only a vibrant meadow remains. Gradually, a figure emerges, silently watching your retreating figure.

I can't understand why I won't hurt you, and why I even feel nervous when we meet, constantly avoiding you, as if I don't want you to see me like this.

[It looks great, it's not ugly at all.]

[If I had to say, she has great taste in clothing too.]

[Upon arriving home, Minamoto no Mitsunaka, having heard that you had captured Shuten-dōji, unexpectedly came to take a look.]

He said that Shuten-dōji was no match for him back then, and the reason he wasn't completely wiped out was because Shuten-dōji liked to kidnap high-ranking officials and extort money.

Secondly, she always has Ibuki-dōji standing behind her, a terrifying being whose status is almost comparable to the legendary Yamata no Orochi, who once caused the death of the Martial God.

[It was precisely because of this background, coupled with the fact that she hadn't killed anyone, that many people were too lazy to bother to punish her.]

[At most, it's targeting her subordinates.]

As for her, relying on Ibuki-doji's reputation, she was too lazy, never caring about the lives of her subordinates, and only concerned with enjoying herself.

After learning all this, you suddenly have a strong visual sense that this is a monster with a significant background.

[Minamoto no Mitsunaka then chatted with you for a few more minutes before leaving, saying that Fujiwara no Saneyoshi needed to speak with him.]

With nothing to do, Yinglin returned to his room, pondering how to teach that arrogant little brat a lesson.

Ibaraki was thrown into another room.

"Ha~ I'll blindfold her later, so that I won't be interested in watching her."

The pink-furred fox standing on the boy's shoulder transformed into a golden streak, from which emerged a stunningly beautiful woman, draped in a loose robe that was easy to remove, who gently kissed Ying Lin's face.

Now that things had come to this, Shuten-dōji finally understood why this fox could bring him such a great sense of oppression.

So it was the legendary jade-faced, golden-haired, nine-tailed fox!

When facing Ibuki-doji, she was able to put down her harsh words for the time being.

Now, however, I dare not do anything.

Tamamo-no-Mae would actually kill someone just because she was unhappy with them.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Ibuki, who loves to steal houses

Before Shuten-dōji could react, a cloth had already been placed over her head.

Not only could they not see, but even the surrounding sounds became silent at this moment.
