I'm having fun in Tokyo

"But it still makes me curious, what exactly is Master planning to do, that he won't even tell me..."

Liangzi shook her head slightly.

It's unclear what Hime-miya's shikigami, Ootamaru, is planning.

Of course, it's also possible that she knew she was letting Mingjue read her mind, so she deliberately came up with this idea to try and deceive him.

After all, she was once a spirit of Iseyama, not some simple high school girl or a love-struck teenager.

Moreover, the mind-reading ability of the Jue clan can only read what a person is thinking. It has no way of knowing whether what the person is thinking is true or what the other person is not thinking.

If the person being mind-reads pays a little attention and focuses their thoughts, they will not be able to discover any more of their ideas, and may even actively mislead the mind-reader. This is also the limitation of mind-reading.

In contrast, the little demon Xinjue beside Feiyue can directly judge the truthfulness of a person's words.

While this ability isn't as convenient as mind reading, it's in no way inferior.

This little guy is quite interesting.

She glanced at Xinjue, but her gaze didn't linger; it instead turned to the Abe family estate further away.

The golden divine light grew even more intense, carrying her figure away into the air...

......

The Abe family estate.

In mid-air, Ryoko slowly emerged from the golden light.

She nodded to Mitsuko and Morikawa Yu before turning to the shrine maiden: "You are not welcome here, shrine maiden."

"leave here."

The priestess frowned, but did not move.

“I meant no harm, I just wanted to talk to him about some things, and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.”

"Him? You mean Morikawa?" Ryoko looked at her with a half-smile.

"I'm sorry, but he is my most beloved junior. I can't let you take him away just because of your empty words."

"I can exchange the Great Jade Pill for you as a hostage," the Priestess said directly.

"You can release her after I return him to you."

"That won't do either." Although Liangzi still had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes, but rather a warning.

"You don't care about your shikigami, but I do care about him."

"Morikawa is not something I can trade for."

The priestess remained silent for a moment after hearing this: "It's not that I don't care about Otamaru. It's precisely because I care about her that I want her to show my sincerity."

"But you're not wrong either. People you care about can't be traded. I take back what I said."

Ryoko paused for a moment.

The way the shrine maiden was trying so hard to explain gave off a rather earnest and adorable feeling.

But that doesn't mean she would believe the priestess.

She had already asked Mingjue to read the other person's thoughts, but he couldn't read anything, which meant that the other person was intentionally keeping their feelings to themselves and was on guard.

In this situation, nothing the other party says can be trusted.

Time passed little by little.

The shrine maiden glanced at Morikawa Yu again and shook her head with some regret.

If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to leave him with too much badwill, and because of the mark he bore that belonged to that ancient demon, I would have taken him away just now.

But now that Ryoko has arrived, he has no chance to take her away.

Then I'll find another opportunity to take him away later and ask him about the things that pique my curiosity.

"In that case, I'll be going."

"Goodbye."

She turned around, her figure gradually disappeared, and the divine light that belonged to her in mid-air slowly dissipated until it disappeared completely.

Morikawa Yu stared at the spot where she disappeared, somewhat incredulous that she had just left like that.

The Ise Shrine Master, whose allegiance was unclear and whose attitude was ambiguous, had been on Seiro's side from the very beginning, but had not personally intervened.

He originally thought that after dealing with Qingluo, he would have to ask Liangzi to fight the opponent and defeat him before the matter of Qingluo would be over.

But he never expected that the other party would leave so decisively.

He frowned, and finally looked at Ryoko.

Ryoko's figure descended from the sky, and she nodded to him: "She's gone."

She was also a little confused, but the shrine maiden was really gone.

At least within the Kyoto area, her presence can no longer be felt; she has completely vanished.

Mitsuko hugged Morikawa tightly, pressing her face against his chest.

She almost thought she was going to lose him.

If the Priestess Hime really makes a move, I really won't be able to fight her in my current state.

Fortunately, Ryoko arrived, leaving the other side with no chance and forcing them to retreat.

Once this period is over and I have regained my strength, I must go to Ise and ask them what they really want.

But we can talk about these things later.

The most important thing right now is Morikawa. He seemed to have a hard time killing Qingluo just now. I hope nothing bad will happen to him.

"Morikawa, your body..."

She looked at Morikawa Yu with concern and realized that he looked much better than before.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Seeing the look in her eyes, Morikawa Yu knew perfectly well that she was worried about him.

I did expend a lot of energy killing Qingluo just now, but I've recovered some of it now.

He looked at Mitsuko in his arms, then at Ryoko to the side, and at Asaka and Kurozo not far away, as well as Hoshiguma and Ibaraki who rushed back after discovering the appearance of the shrine maiden, and Ibuki who was being carried by Hoshiguma.

Ibuki has regained her human form, but her aura is extremely weak.

This suddenly made him tense again, even though he was in a fairly good mood before.

......

One minute ago, on Qianma'an Road.

"He won! Mr. Morikawa won! He saved His Highness the Divine Lord and the House God, and defeated Qingluo!"

Nishino stood on the rooftop, his face beaming with a happy smile.

She grabbed onto Kuno's clothes, her three cat tails wagging rapidly behind her, a testament to her excitement.

Kuno is not a great demon; she doesn't possess the same level of strength as Kuno.

She kept looking at the Abe family estate and could barely make out the situation inside.

"They really succeeded in defeating them, that's amazing..." Kuno muttered to herself.

Chapter 280 The dust has settled

"That's too powerful..."

Kuno looked up again at the Abe family manor in the distance.

Although she found it hard to believe, everything that happened at the Abe family estate was truly happening right before her eyes.

The Abe family's ancestral deity, Seiro, used some unknown method to defeat the demon kings Ibuki and Ibaraki, and repel Asaka-sama and Kurozo-sama.

Princess Mitsuko was also at a loss with her, and could only look at her arrogant appearance while searching for a solution.

Although Princess Ryoko could easily defeat Aoro, Princess Hime of Ise was watching from the sidelines, unable to offer any assistance.

In the end, it was Mr. Morikawa who stepped forward.

He not only attracted Qingluo's attention, but also successfully injured Qingluo, driving her into a frenzy.

She originally thought that this was all Morikawa Yu could do, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

The power that Qingluo was so proud of was utterly ineffective in the face of his storm.

He not only swept Qingluo into the sky, destroying her body and power with his sword and the gale, but also successfully defeated her and saved Lady Asaka and the others, as well as Princess Mitsuko.

This left Kuno with mixed feelings.

To be honest, she didn't like Morikawa Yu at first.

Even though Nishino really likes the other person, she doesn't want to acknowledge him.

Although the other person is very handsome, with a sunny and dashing appearance, great strength, and is a great human swordsman, and has a good personality, his private life is very chaotic.

Since he became the successor to Princess Nagako, many families, including the three great families, have collected a lot of information about him.

This information reveals that he not only had a rather ambiguous relationship with his classmates and kendo teacher, but also had a mother and daughter monsters at home whom he had saved, but in the end they ended up with a yokai from the Age of Gods.

Even after marrying the goddess, he was still not satisfied.

He remained the same as before, engaging in ambiguous relationships with other girls without any restraint.

Of course, after she actually met him, she discovered that most of the information about his romantic affairs was just subjective speculation and embellishment by others.

The other person wasn't a man driven by lust; on the contrary, he had a strong sense of principle.

Otherwise, Lord Iegami and Princess Mitsuko wouldn't have admired each other so much, and Princess Ryoko wouldn't have chosen each other as her successor.

He has many girls around him, probably because he is very popular.

Kuno sighed.

She is the household spirit messenger of the Fujiwara family. Although she is not a true great demon, she has lived for several hundred years and has seen many things.

It's normal for a man as outstanding as him to have many girls around him; it would be abnormal if there were few.

As for how he treats those girls, that's beyond my control. As long as he treats Nishino well, I have nothing to say.

She glanced at Nishino beside her, and seeing the genuine joy on Nishino's face because of Morikawa Yu's successful defeat of Qingluo, she also smiled.

But she was immediately stunned and felt a little dazed.

Nishino stared blankly at Kuno, then suddenly realized that Kuno was standing there, looking dizzy.

The household god messengers and Shiori on the street downstairs, like Kuno, stood there blankly and unconsciously.

At the same time, a vast golden divine light appeared in the sky above the Abe family estate.

She looked at the white-clad girl who descended like a god in the golden light, then at the young man who was barely standing in the manor, and hesitated for a moment.

But she immediately leaped across the rooftops, rushing towards the Abe family estate...

......

Qingluo is dead...

The lord of the demon clan, who ruled over the Abe family, Qingluo, is dead...

Keisuke Fujiwara stood on the street in Higashino-cho, staring blankly in the direction of the Abe family manor, his mind somewhat dazed.

He had considered the possibility of Qingluo being defeated, but when he saw that Lady Igami and the others had actually succeeded in defeating her, and that it was Mr. Morikawa who carried out the execution, he still felt a sense of unreality.

That's Qingluo.

Ao-ra, the ancestral deity of the Abe family, one of the three elite families of Kyoto, the lord of the oni clan, and a top-ranking great yokai.

Especially considering Qingluo's final state after defeating the demon kings and the household gods, her power definitely surpassed that of a high-ranking demon and approached that of a god.

As a result, even with this kind of Qingluo, Mr. Morikawa still managed to defeat him.

He gazed in the direction of the manor, watching Qingluo collapse with a thud, her headless body shattered on the ground. The faces of Harumi and Abe Haruhiko flashed through his mind, and he thought of that night more than a decade ago.

He recalled the despair he felt when he was fleeing with Abe Harumi, being hunted down by the Abe family, and the heartache he felt when Harumi had all her demon blood extracted and fell into a near-death coma.

He also thought of Abe Haruhiko's struggle and determination when he decided to return to the Abe family to infiltrate, and finally his gaze gradually focused on the corpse of the demon on the ground.
