Asaka turned around angrily: "I don't want to be a mascot who only knows how to act cute."

"Mhm." Morikawa Yu nodded with a smile.

He deactivated the domain, and the two returned to the real world, appearing at the location where the domain had been initially released. Walking half an intersection back, they reached their own manor.

As she noticed the change in the surrounding scenery and realized she had returned to the real world, Asaka immediately quickened her pace.

"walk home."

"Now that you have reached the Sword Saint realm and become a Sword Saint, tell Lady Mitsuko and Lady Hisagi the news. They will be very happy."

Chapter 490 The Silly Mascot

Back at the manor, Morikawa Yu walked into the entrance hall of the villa.

Asaka walked ahead of him, pushed open the living room door, and wagged her tail behind her.

Morikawa Yu followed her inside and saw Mitsuko and Erii sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room.

Mitsuko held Erii's hand, her body radiating a pale golden divine light.

Just now, Fei Yue used her Blood Saint power to wash away most of the ancient dragon fetal blood in Erii's body, and refined the power of this fetal blood, leaving it in Erii's body. At the same time, she used her power to alleviate Erii's pain and discomfort.

Even so, Erii's body inevitably became much weaker and needed time to recover.

Mitsuko possesses a very gentle divine power, which, like Ryoko's, can be used to nourish the bodies of humans and yokai. Right now, she is helping Erii nourish her body.

Next to Mitsuko and Erii, Shinkaku sat on the sofa, wearing headphones and playing a game with a controller.

On the screen in the center of the living room, the game character she was controlling was dressed in white, wearing a hood, playing with a hidden dart on his arm, and sailing on the sea in a pirate ship.

She quickly located her prey with her binoculars, brought her pirate ship alongside, and began bombarding and fighting, eventually capturing the transport ship.

Erii stared intently at the screen, seemingly eager to play as well.

But she knew her body needed rest, so she just sat obediently on the sofa and watched Xinjue play games.

Morikawa Haha approached the sofa.

Shinjue had just finished plundering a transport ship and repairing his own pirate vessel when he looked back at him and Asaka.

"Master, what were you doing just now?"

Morikawa Yu walked over to her side, looked at the game on her screen, and casually said, "Nothing much, just practiced kendo for a while and sparred with Asaka."

Asaka pouted.

Looking at Xinjue, she suddenly remembered what Senchuan Yu had just said about her being a "cute mascot" like Xinjue. She couldn't help but walk closer and look Xinjue up and down, admiring the adorable black and white Lolita maid outfit Xinjue was wearing.

She reached out and pinched Xinjue's cheek, then suddenly said, "Mascot."

Xin Jue was stunned for a moment.

Asaka: "Silly Kokoro, a mascot who only knows how to act cute and serve others."

Xinjue blinked.

She looked at Asaka strangely, then at Morikawa Yu standing to the side, somewhat confused as to why Asaka was calling her that.

She thought for a moment, then a wisp of white smoke suddenly appeared on her forehead, transforming into a pair of fluffy pink cat ears that matched her hair color. A cat tail also emerged from under her Lolita maid dress, and then she tilted her head.

"Meow?"

Asaka's face froze: "You...!"

She just wanted to test Xinjue's reaction, but she didn't expect Xinjue to retaliate in this way, indicating that she, with her cat ears and tail, was also a mascot.

Perhaps that's not what she meant; she just wanted to take the opportunity to act cute.

But she still broke down.

"You idiot, you're making fun of me too." Asaka relaxed her mind, looking sullen, and turned to walk towards Mitsuko and Erii.

Xin Jue looked at Morikawa Yu with a puzzled expression: "Master, what happened to Asaka?"

"It's nothing." Morikawa Yu shook her head: "She just feels that I have entered a new realm of swordsmanship and become stronger than her, and then she feels that she can only be a cute mascot, so she is a little withdrawn."

To be fair, Asaka is not weak. She is quite strong. After manifesting her demon form, she can easily destroy a city. She also possesses powerful and pure demonic energy, making her a top-tier powerhouse in the hidden realm.

Compared to former demons like Ootamaru and super-strong individuals like Ryoko, they seem rather harmless.

Xin Jue listened and nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly seemed to realize something and widened her eyes: "Master...Master, you have entered a new realm of swordsmanship?"

“Yes.” Morikawa Yu nodded.

He reached out and touched the cat ears that Xinjue had just conjured up: "Your master has become stronger again."

"Great!" Xin Jue stood up happily.

She tossed aside the controller, tilted her head slightly, rubbed her cat ears against his palm, and looked at him with her big eyes: "Master, you've become stronger so quickly. Does that mean you'll soon become an immortal being and spend the rest of your life with me and Lady Feiyue?"

Morikawa Yu's face stiffened.

He wanted to nod, but he couldn't quite bring himself to do it.

Xinjue said that "becoming an immortal being" requires him to choose a trial path, challenge and complete this path, and elevate his own level of life.

He thought about the high-risk markings on the trial paths and the skins he hadn't unlocked yet, and realized that none of them were easy to complete. He really had no confidence in finishing them.

Shinjue looked at Morikawa Yu with anticipation, but when she noticed Morikawa Yu's expression freeze, she immediately realized something was wrong.

She still had the same expectant expression as before, but she didn't look into Morikawa Yu's eyes again. Instead, she took a step forward, hugged him, put her arms around his waist, and gently patted his back.

"It's alright, Master."

"Even if it takes a long time, Lady Feiyue and I will always be with you, waiting for you to become an immortal being."

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu nodded helplessly.

He touched his head and sighed.

She's so sensible and well-behaved at this age, what can I say?

On the other sofa, Mitsuko held Erii's hand, maintaining her divine power. She kept looking at Morikawa Yu and Shinkaku, smiling slightly.

Asaka walked over to Mitsuko's side and leaned back on the sofa.

She raised her arm and sniffed it.

Although there was only a faint smell of dust and sweat, barely perceptible mixed with her milky body fragrance, she still frowned and stood up: "I'm covered in sweat after the fight, I need to take a shower first, human, you can shower later."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and gave Morikawa Yu a wary look: "Don't sneak in while I'm taking a shower. Even if you've become stronger, I'm not so easy to bully... Don't try to do anything strange to me. Lady Mitsuko hasn't given permission yet!"

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Asaka, her tail taut, turned and went upstairs to get the clothes she would need to change into after her bath.

Mitsuko smiled at him: "Yes, I haven't given you permission yet. Darling, if you want to do anything weird that humans would do to Asaka, you have to get my permission first."

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "Don't say that, I don't have that thought."

He simply treated Asaka as a willful younger sister and didn't think about anything more.

“Is that so?” Mitsuko gave him a meaningful look.

"Although I was sealed under Mount Inari for a thousand years, I have seen many things through the eyes of the Inari God."

"Human life is short. We are exposed to life and death from a young age and know that life is impermanent. Under this terrifying pressure, we always have great desires and curiosity about things, and we want to get and enjoy them."

"On the contrary, we monsters, because we are born with long lifespans and have little pressure, tend to dabble in everything and find it hard to get interested. Even if we do develop an interest, we can pursue it slowly and patiently."

"My dear, you are human, and you have human desires. Even if you become an immortal species in the future, you will not be able to avoid being affected by these desires."

"After a while, you might want to try dating Asaka."

Chapter 491 Family Brotherhood

"Don't worry, I don't mind if you lay a hand on Asaka. I've seen how loyal she's been to me for so long, and I won't let her be sad or disappointed. It's not unacceptable for me to share some of you with her."

"But even if you want to make a move on her, you have to do it after me, understand, darling?"

She spoke softly, a faint smile on her face.

Morikawa Yu shrugged: "Even if you say that, I still have the same thought as before."

He looked at Xinjue.

"Where's Hiizuki? And what about Maki-sensei and Emi?"

He had been wanting to ask where Hiizuki and the others had gone since earlier. He had only gone out to spar with Asaka for a while, so why couldn't he find Hiizuki and Maki-sensei when he came back?

Xin Jue had already sat back down on the sofa next to him. She looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Lady Fei Yue just took a bath and is resting in the bedroom."

"Maki and Emi went back to their bedroom, saying they were going to have a girls' party."

"A women's association?" Morikawa Yu paused, then asked, "What's that?"

He only remembered that the Japanese word "女女会" meant a gathering of female friends who only participated in the event, but he didn't understand how to hold a girls' party at home.

Xin Jue: "Actually, we just watch movies, read comics, and play games together. Master, you go out every day, and Maki and Emi get bored too, okay?"

“They used to be human, unlike us monsters. Even if we have nothing to do, we can just sit around for a long time to kill time.”

"Master, you should spend more time with them too."

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He turned to look at the doorway of his and Feiyue's bedroom on the first floor.

He heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.

Feiyue opened the door and came out.

She had just taken a shower and changed into a light white nightgown, but she wasn't wearing stockings. Two alluring white legs were bare under the hem of the nightgown, and a silver wolf tail trailed behind her.

"Husband, you said you've reached a new level in swordsmanship?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

Feiyue frowned and hesitated for a moment.

She knew nothing about human swordsmanship, and no human dared to venture into the deep mountains of the Northern Lands where she lived to show her what human swordsmanship was.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that even the greatest swordsmen and great swordsmen among humans would find it difficult to pass through the outer perimeter of the Northern Continent's mountains and enter its depths.

At that time, she was active in the Northern Lands and killed many powerful and high-ranking demons. The demons were afraid of her and all left the deep mountains and went to the outer edges of the mountains, which led to an increase in the number of demons outside the mountains.

She wasn't quite sure what this realm of swordsmanship meant.

Asaka had just gone upstairs to her room to get her clothes for a bath, and she came down at that moment: "Actually, it's the realm of a Sword Saint, Lady Hishitsuki."

"This level can be considered the highest achievement of human swordsmanship. It is a very rare thing that a human has achieved."

Feiyue nodded upon hearing this, looked at Senchuan Yu, and a smile appeared on her cool and beautiful face: "Yes, I see. After all, he is the husband I chose, so it's not surprising that he can do such a thing."

"Then... can this realm increase my husband's lifespan?"

Asaka thought for a moment and shook her head: "It seems like it's not possible."

"I remember my household deity told me that the human swordsman named Urabe Asataka lived for eighty-two years before passing away..."

“It’s eighty-two years old,” Xin Jue corrected. “Humans use the word ‘year’, not ‘year’.”

"I know." Asaka rolled her eyes at Shinjue.

"I just wanted to mention how long that human named Urabe Asataka lived. Humans use 'years' to describe lifespan, not 'ages,' so I'm right!"

"You agree, don't you, human!?"

"Mmm." Morikawa Yu nodded perfunctorily.

To be honest, it's quite strange to hear these two monsters discussing human lifespan, but there's not much I can say about it.

After all, they were worried about his lifespan.

Feiyue sighed: "I see. So that means my husband still hasn't found a way to become an immortal being?"

"I'll try to find Zhizi and see if I can persuade her to give my husband half of his original demonic power to help him become a half-demon immortal being."

Morikawa Yu was speechless.

He was just about to say that he shouldn't keep mentioning Kannazuki Chiko, otherwise Chiko would be afraid of him and she would lose an old friend in the future, when Mitsuko spoke up before he could: "Alright, Hitsuki."

She stood up, released Erii's hand, and walked towards Morikawa Yu and Hisui.
