All I can say is that the great yokai of the Age of Gods were truly terrifying.

Am I going to have to play a game of checks and balances with guys like Fei Yue from now on?

Fortunately, you can count such guys on two hands, and they're all a bunch of lazy bums who have no interest in worldly affairs.

Otherwise, it will be really difficult to handle.

Sigh, it's time to level up and improve my strength. I should also make good use of the experience booster.

Otherwise, even sleeping with Fei Yue would be somewhat passive.

Even if he wanted to try out techniques like the Edo 48 Hands, the only result would be that Hishitsuki would pin him down and do whatever she wanted to him.

I'm looking forward to it... no, I'm worried.

Just as he and Hiizuki arrived at the shrine, his sister entered the goshuincho (shrine gate), and he saw a girl with a black nine-tailed fox behind her emerge from the golden ripples.

"Hmm... Feiyue, and my little husband."

She greeted him with a smile, and in that instant, Morikawa Yu had the feeling that "she is the big fox."

Feiyue frowned.

She noticed Mitsuko's current state, but she couldn't be bothered to care.

On the other side, Ryoko walked out of the main hall and looked at the three of them with a somewhat helpless expression.

Beside her was Yamano Nanami, who had changed into her apprentice shrine maiden attire.

Morikawa Yu had been wanting to see her, and when he saw her next to Ryoko, he greeted her with a smile.

Yamano Nanami returned his smile, though she looked somewhat frightened.

Mitsuko's eyes lit up, her fox tail waving behind her, and she vanished instantly, appearing in front of Ryoko and Yamano Nanami.

"Oh my, what an adorable child! Just like a kitten!"

"Come here and let your big sister give you a hug~"

As she spoke, she reached out and bent down to hug Yamano Nanami.

"You lecherous vixen, behave yourself."

Liangzi waved helplessly, summoning golden chains to stop her and lock her hands and feet.

"Oh, bondage play, Ryoko, do you like doing this now? I'm so shy~"

As Mitsuko spoke, she swayed slightly and looked at Morikawa Yu, seemingly genuinely embarrassed.

"My husband is here too, please don't toy with me like this~"

Feiyue's face turned cold.

Ryoko's smile became even more helpless.

She waved her hand again, and countless golden chains bound Mitsuko's body into a dumpling shape, leaving only her face and ears exposed.

"Your Highness, please...please don't do this!"

Mitsuko spoke again, but her voice had changed to that of another girl, tinged with shyness and fear.

Chapter 140 Shameless

Ryoko frowned slightly.

Mitsuko's voice returned to its original tone, but it sounded like she was talking to herself: "Ah, I'm sorry, Shiori, I've dragged you into this."

She looked at Ryoko again, revealing an irresistibly cute smile.

"Just let me go, Ryoko."

"I just want to hug this child!"

Ryoko ignored her completely, not even uttering a single word.

This fox shouldn't be indulged, otherwise she'll only take advantage of your kindness.

"Ugh...Your Highness Liangzi..."

The girl possessed by Mitsuko let out a mournful cry.

Ryoko's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at the face of the girl possessed by Mitsuko. After a moment's thought, she finally asked, "You're a child of the Fujiwara family, aren't you?"

"Princess Ryoko actually remembers me..."

The girl's voice sounded happy, but then became somewhat shy after thinking about her situation.

"That's all..."

Ryoko finally released the chains, and her divine power dissipated into the air.

Mitsuko's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, looking utterly exhausted after being played with, completely at the mercy of her captors. This easily evoked very unpleasant associations.

"Using someone else's body to do such a shameless thing, Mitsuko, your character is getting worse and worse."

Feiyue said coldly.

Mitsuko finally got up, her delicate body supported by her fox tail as she stood up.

"Feiyue, you're always so serious. Doesn't that take away a lot of fun from your married life?"

However, she didn't continue speaking, and her expression finally became more serious.

The subtle change in his expression made him look completely different from before, exuding a more dignified air.

She looked at Yamano Nanami, bent down to touch Yamano Nanami's head, but was dodged.

Yamano Nanami glanced at Morikawa Yu, seemingly wanting to hide behind him, but seeing Hisui's cold expression beside him, she finally hid next to Ryoko.

Mitsuko was not discouraged. She stood up straight and looked at Ryoko.

"Is this child a psychic?"

Ryoko nodded.

"Yes, and because of her physical condition, she was previously harmed by someone with ill intentions, and it was Morikawa who saved her."

Upon hearing this, Mitsuko looked at Morikawa Yu and smiled.

"Oh, no wonder I felt a sense of attachment to this child."

"My dear husband, you must take good care of the young lady's feelings."

Morikawa Yu's expression instantly turned strange.

He knew, of course, that Yamano Nanami had feelings for him, but was this big fox trying to put him in a difficult situation by saying it out loud?

But Feiyue simply held his hand.

"Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Ryoko finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mitsuko finally dropped her frivolous demeanor.

She now looks completely different from her previous quirky and eccentric self.

Morikawa Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ryoko and Mitsuko.

Judging from their expressions, it seems they really have something to say, so this big fox must have something important to tell Liangzi.

Mitsuko's gaze also fell on Morikawa Yu and Hisui, and then she looked at Ryoko.

"It's alright, let Morikawa and Hisukatsuki listen. From now on, this place will be in his hands, so there's no need to hide anything from him."

Liangzi, of course, knew what she meant, and immediately spoke up.

Mitsuko nodded upon hearing this.

"Then I'll tell you, Ryoko."

"I want your help to catch a guy who escaped to Tokyo."

"Arrest them?" Liangzi frowned.

“No, to be precise, it’s a monster,” Mitsuko corrected.

"Didn't I tell you last night that I was looking for something? That monster stole it and escaped here."

“But you didn’t tell me what it was yesterday.” Ryoko still frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

Mitsuko had asked her for help before, but never in such a secretive way.

She gazed into Mitsuko's eyes.

Mitsuko finally sighed.

"Okay, it's a divine artifact. My divine artifact has been stolen."

"Your artifact was stolen?" A hint of surprise appeared on Liangzi's face.

This was the first time Morikawa Yu had seen her with a surprised expression.

He immediately perked up his ears as well.

He knew about the sacred treasures. The three most famous sacred treasures of Japan are the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the Yata no Kagami, which have been used extensively in various anime and game works.

However, he had never heard of Inari God having a divine weapon.

Moreover, now that the Age of Gods has ended, how can there still be divine artifacts?

Mitsuko noticed his expression, but surprisingly, she didn't tease him. Instead, she nodded, her eyes gloomy.

“Two days ago, the ancestral spirit of the Fujiwara family came to my shrine requesting an audience with me.”

“I didn’t pay attention at the time, so I agreed and told it to come.”

"But what I didn't expect was that it was attacked by an unknown monster outside the shrine and was seriously injured, so I came outside the shrine to save it."

"But after I rescued it, I discovered that it was just a monster posing as the Fujiwara family's ancestral deity."

"I sensed something was wrong and returned to the shrine, only to find that my sacred rope had been stolen. The one who stole it was the ancestral spirit of the Fujiwara family."

"Through my sense of the knotted cord, I discovered that it had traveled to the Kanto region, and finally its presence disappeared in Tokyo."

"Since Tokyo is where you have sheltered me, I would like to ask you to help me find it."

Liangzi frowned upon hearing this.

"You're saying the Fujiwara family's household spirit stole the binding rope and came to Tokyo?"

“Yes.” Mitsuko nodded.

"The Fujiwara family, fearing I would blame them, offered to help with the search."

"Shiori is the eldest daughter of the Fujiwara family and is able to use the family's heirloom weapon."

"Even if that guy can hide his aura, he will still be detected within a certain range."

Ryoko did not speak.

She thought for a moment: "How far is the sensing range?"

"I can sense anything within ten miles, Your Highness Ryoko."

Mitsuko's tone changed again, returning to her original girlish voice, with a sense of caution.

"Only ten li?" Liangzi asked again.

"Yes, I heard from my elders that they used to be able to sense it whenever they were in or around Kyoto, I..."

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

Ryoko offered her a word of comfort.

Mitsuko's tone immediately returned to normal: "Ryoko, it was my oversight that I accidentally let them escape to Tokyo."

"I will take Shiori with me to search all over Tokyo. If I find any trace of her, I hope you can help me."

"That guy is cunning and powerful, similar to my One-Tailed Incarnation."

"I originally prepared to come in an incarnation, but I angered Hiizuki just now, and she destroyed it. Now I can only possess Shiori's body, and I am only at the level of an ordinary great youkai."

As she spoke, she glanced at Feiyue, seemingly apologetic.

Ryoko already knew what had happened from Morikawa Yu, so she didn't ask any more questions.
