I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

[Task Reward: ......]

Hmm... But then again...

After agreeing, Su Nu grabbed her by the back of her collar and carried her all the way to the outskirts of Heian-kyo.

With both sides opening up their territories, Zhu Yu narrowly won.

The player smugly circled around Su Nuo a few times, while Su Nuo walked away with a dark expression.

On the day of another full moon, a pink-haired NPC will appear to come looking for her every month in the game.

As usual, she put the things Su Nuo threw to her into her backpack and then the two started fighting.

This time... Su Nu used the "Reversal Technique".

Zhu Yulian ate twenty handfuls of grass until her stomach was full.

draw.

Su Nuo seemed to be in a good mood, showing a rare hint of contentment, and followed her back to the Yuan family without any hesitation.

Then, he lay down on her bed.

Zhu Yu looked at him with a condemning gaze.

Sukuna's women's kimono had a large neckline, hanging loosely on his body. With the neckline open, he rested his chin on one hand, his elbow on the tatami mat, and yawned boredly.

He raised one hand and casually patted the empty seat next to him.

Zhu Yu glanced at her stamina and realized it was almost depleted. She was too lazy to worry about it. In the past, when she and her pink-haired teammate were exploring and fighting monsters in the wild, he would squeeze in with her when he didn't have a bed.

Lie down quickly and begin to rest.

When I woke up the next morning, Su Nuo had disappeared.

The thought of being defeated by NPCs completely extinguished Zhu Yu's original plan to be a casual player for a few days.

She immediately jumped up and ran out to grind levels, not even bothering to check on the players' rooms.

Muzan, who had been waiting for Zhu Yu to greet him, pretended to casually walk by but was ignored: "..."

He stared darkly at the departing figure.

Damn, damn, damn!

Was she doing it on purpose?! Is she tired of playing with me...?

Who would want to hang out with her?

Muzan paced back and forth at the door, furious.

Ten years ago, the gods who left shrines in the mortal realm sent a divine message to the believers—

The birth of a child in this world is a matter of unpredictable destiny; it could be a divine salvation or a calamity that destroys all things. All believers must treat this with caution.

Since the gods retreated to Takamagahara, they have rarely performed miracles, so this divine decree issued by all the gods naturally attracted everyone's attention.

For a time, those in the know were searching for this "child of prophecy," but unfortunately, there was too little information and the divination was too difficult.

Fortunately, the oracle mentioned something—"the fire of karma burns away the filth and cleanses the impurities"—which allows people to confirm the other party's identity.

Unfortunately, a mysterious power within this prophetic child obscured his divination abilities, and he gained nothing for the first five years.

Some have given up, while others are still searching.

The Emperor was one of those unwilling to give up. Upon hearing the divine decree's message of "destroying all things," he could no longer sit still and summoned the Onmyoji in charge of the matter every few days to inquire about the progress.

Fortunately, perseverance pays off. One day, during a banquet, the Onmyoji couldn't hide his joy and told him that he had found the prophesied child. Beside him was a Genji member with a strange expression who had gone with the Onmyoji to find the prophesied child.

"The 'Child of Prophecy' is now with the Minamoto family?" the Emperor murmured, unable to believe that the person he had been searching for for so long was right under his nose. "And right now, at the banquet?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Genji member hadn't expected such a coincidence; he hadn't expected the Child of Prophecy to arrive in Heian-kyo almost at the same time as them.

And by sheer coincidence, he became one of Genji's men...

I was momentarily speechless.

"Is it really her?" The Emperor's expression turned serious.

After all, there isn't much information about the Child of Prophecy. What if we make a mistake?

The image of the flames that seemed to burn down the entire night sky of Heian-kyo appeared before the Onmyoji's eyes again; he had been there that day.

He said with certainty, "It is indeed him, there is no mistake."

Who else besides her deserves the phrase "the fire of karma burns away all impurities"?

Just then, a loud noise came from the place where the banquet was being held.

"boom--"

The garden where the Emperor and his entourage were having their private conversation was not far away, so they could see what was happening there.

The sky was as red as blood, and the earth trembled. Roaring flames engulfed the massive cursed spirit that was wreaking havoc.

Flames licked everything.

The colossal creature that had crushed the main hall with a single stomp let out a piercing scream and convulsed in the fire.

Before the Emperor could even flee in terror, the suddenly appearing cursed spirit was abruptly swallowed up.

In the blink of an eye, only a wisp of smoke rose into the sky.

The wind passed without a trace.

It took the Emperor a long time to come to his senses. He blinked stiffly and spoke slowly.

"Yes, it is indeed him."

There can be no mistake.

There are actually fewer combat missions in Heian-kyo than outside, and it takes a long time for new monsters to respawn after you've cleared one round.

In Heian-kyo, there are mostly daily quests, so Zhu Yu will go to places outside Heian-kyo if she wants to level up intensively.

The game content is relatively routine. Daily activities include completing tasks, interacting with a pretty little NPC named Muzan, leveling up outside, and fighting the elusive Sukuna.

And just like that, the timeline jumped to age 15.

In that year, an automatically received system task popped up—

Chapter 202 Good News

Side Quest: Please participate fully in your "Clothing" ceremony.

The room was bright and airy, filled with the cool scent of incense.

The young girl sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, her head bowed as she calmly allowed the maid to tidy her clothes. The heavy hem of the twelve-layered robe hung to the ground, piling up in an arc like flower petals.

The bamboo curtain was lifted, letting in beams of light from outside.

"Lord Yu, you are truly radiant today." A smiling male voice came from behind.

The girl slowly turned her head, her golden-red eyes looking precisely at the person who had just arrived.

A man dressed in a gray hunting robe stood at the doorway, his features gentle and his smile perfectly measured, giving him a refined and mild appearance.

Hello, Liao Ao!

Zhu Yu broke free from the "AFK" state and greeted the suddenly appearing NPC.

*

I met this guy named Jianqiang PC when I went to the suburbs to level up.

When Zhu Yu is grinding monsters, he always uses whatever has the highest power to bombard them, focusing on efficient leveling.

Ever since I've had more contact with Onmyoji and completed many Onmyoji-related tasks to unlock "Spiritual Power," I throw all three different abilities at the red-named player whenever we get into a fight.

It is very efficient.

The NPC witnessed everything and was very curious about her ability to use different systems.

"How did you come to possess three different powers?" The NPC's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

In the eyes of the world, it is impossible for demonic power, spiritual power, and curse power to be gathered in one person.

Monsters can be born from nature or they can be born from human emotions and thoughts.

Spiritual power originates from the five elements of nature. Those with talent can absorb and utilize spiritual power to become practitioners such as Onmyoji or shrine maidens.

Both demonic power and spiritual power can kill demons.

Most monsters are "enlightened" upon birth, possessing a certain level of intelligence.

The attitudes of yokai towards humans vary. Some will sign contracts with onmyoji to become their shikigami, while others will actively hunt humans as food.

Most little fairies are neither favored by Onmyoji nor have the ability or desire to hunt humans. They usually live their lives far away from humans, adopting a distant and unapproachable attitude.

Humans will exterminate and kill monsters, and monsters will fight each other.

Only those who are half-human and half-demon can possess both demonic and spiritual power.

Besides yokai, this world also contains cursed spirits born from the negative emotions of humans.

If spiritual power is a natural, positive energy, then cursed power is an internal, negative energy. Spiritual power can harm cursed spirits, but to completely exorcise them, cursed power is still needed.

The two opposing energies repel each other in the human body, which is why sorcerers who can exorcise cursed spirits gradually emerged among those who lacked the talent to become Onmyoji.

The two groups have different roles, yet they coexist peacefully and develop independently.

The fish was shaking and the Huai River was crashing against the bolt. The man was blowing the bell and the woman was sitting on the ground.

As a commoner, he saw human blood most often in his childhood, the blood of the weak.

The blood left behind after being attacked by a cursed spirit, the blood from having one's heart and liver ripped out by a monster.

Even without these, flash floods or earthquakes can either kill vulnerable people.

How pitiful, an existence that can be erased at will.

Of course, he was among them.

Until one critical moment, his magical power erupted, and he was discovered by a passing sorcerer.

He was taken to Heian-kyo (Kyoto).

He saw a completely different world.

There are many mysterious forces in this world. Why do these forces arise, and how do they operate?

He became engrossed in interpreting the world.

And now, he has discovered—something most different.

The combination of three distinct powers creates the most perfect being.

He will stop, he will observe.

He would not look away until the flame of his life was extinguished.

He will gaze upon us with a thousand eyes.

The formal ceremony was finally coming to an end.

Zhu Yu was AFK for the entire game, and as soon as he exited AFK mode, he heard the clear sound of swords being drawn.

The head of the Minamoto clan drew his Higekiri, a treasure of the Minamoto clan, from his waist in front of everyone.

The blade gleamed with a cold, sharp light, and it severed the heads of countless demons and monsters for the Yuan family.

The higekiri has been used by successive heads of the Minamoto family and has long been a symbol of the head of the family.

The head of the Yuan family surveyed the entire scene, sheathed his sword again, and slowly handed it to Zhu Yu.

He suddenly announced loudly: "From this day forward, she is the new head of the family!"

The words were like a thunderclap, and the entire hall fell silent instantly. Everyone froze, staring in disbelief at the scene—the Minamoto clan's most prized possession, a symbol of the clan head's status, was being handed over by the clan head himself to a girl dressed in a twelve-layered kimono.
