Fortunately, Hua Jianxue was unharmed, otherwise she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.

Hua Jianxue held Hai Ruo's hand, her gaze sweeping over the dried fish not far away, and the baited area where many fish had already gathered.

One of the large fish took the bait, swallowed it, and dragged Hai Ruo's fishing rod into the sea, quickly creating splashes and taking the rod with it.

Hai Ruo's expression froze, but considering that Hua Jianxue was still in her arms, she ignored the fishing rod.

Hanami Yuki shook her head, waved her hand and unleashed a burst of divine power, pulling the fishing rod and dragging the big fish that had taken the bait to the shore. She then used her divine power to fling the fishing rod and the big fish onto the beach.

The big fish turned over, trying to struggle to jump back into the water, but it still couldn't get back.

Hanamiyuki looked up at Hai Ruo's face: "Sister Hai Ruo, you're out fishing, is your master still at the shrine?"

Hai Ruo nodded: "Yes, Princess Shuiyue is still waiting for you to return at the shrine, Your Highness..."

Hai Ruo originally wanted to ask Hua Jianxue if her plan had succeeded, but when she thought about Hua Jianxue's state just now, she immediately realized that what she wanted to ask was already quite obvious.

Chapter 578 You have no idea what you brought back

She shut her mouth.

Hua Jianxue's face fell slightly, and she nodded: "Yes, Sister Hai Ruo, you guessed right, I lost."

“I originally intended to take the Emperor’s medicinal fragrance and divine power and place it on Yuqi Island, waiting for them to come. I didn’t expect them to arrive at Yuqi Island much earlier than expected.”

"When he entered the realm, he also brought the emperor with him, and the emperor also bestowed upon him much good fortune."

"At first, I didn't believe that the Emperor could use the power of luck to reverse the power gap between him and me. I didn't expect that I would make so many mistakes during the actual battle, while he made no mistakes at all. In the end, he killed the puppet and the projection, and I lost in a very undignified way."

"It's alright, it's alright even if we lose." Hai Ruo immediately squeezed Hua Jianxue's hand: "As long as Your Highness is alright, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose."

"Moreover, Your Highness, you are still young and have not yet inherited the power of Princess Shuiyue. It is not shameful for you to lose to a supreme god."

Hua Jianxue shook her head and looked directly into Hai Ruo's eyes: "As I just said, Hai Ruo, I didn't expect that the Emperor could use the power of luck to reverse the gap in strength between him and me. The gap is that he is weaker than me, not that I am weaker than him."

Hai Ruo was stunned for a moment: "Could it be... that Princess Shuiyue's information was correct?"

Upon learning that the highest deity of Kansai, Mitsuko, the highest deity of Kanto, Morikawa Yu, and the great god of the Hokuriku Mountains, Hisuki, was coming to the border of Izumo, their highest deity, Mizuki, obtained some information from others and used it for preparation.

This includes information about Morikawa Yu.

Hanami Yuki: "Yes, the information Master received was correct. He does not have the power of the Supreme God, but only his strength in swordsmanship. He has indeed become a Sword Saint and crossed the last threshold."

"As long as he continues to grow stronger, he can reach the limit of human power."

"I am merely borrowing the divine power and authority of my master and Lady Shenzhi; I have no power of my own."

"I originally thought that with some of my master's divine power and the authority bestowed upon me by Lady Divine Weaver, even if he were a Sword Saint, or even if he truly became the Supreme God, I could still defeat him within the domain. But I still lost..."

Hanamiyuki frowned in deep thought.

She wasn't angry because she lost, but rather because she was wondering where she went wrong.

After much deliberation, she finally began to suspect Tenshi Inaba.

Although Morikawa Yu is strong, there is still a significant gap between her and Morikawa Yu.

Although she does not possess any power of her own, her master has bestowed upon her immense divine power. The Izumo Goddess of the Age of Gods, Orihime, has granted her considerable authority, and she also knows how to use the Shadow of Authority.

All of these factors combined make her far stronger than Morikawa Yu.

She felt that she ultimately lost due to timing, Inaba Tenshi's luck, and Morikawa Yu's drive.

Without Inaba Tenshi's help, no matter how strong Morikawa Yu's drive was, he couldn't beat her.

Moreover, Morikawa Yu entered the field too early.

If she had waited another day or two, and had prepared the white jade puppet outside, her strength would have been even greater, making it possible for her to even contend with a true supreme god.

If she had another chance and prepared in advance, she definitely wouldn't lose again.

But it's no use saying all this now; she's already lost.

No matter what, we still lost.

Hua Jianxue patted Hai Ruo's back, signaling Hai Ruo to let go of her: "I'm much better now, Hai Ruo, please let go of me."

"Let's go back together to see our master."

Hai Ruo nodded: "Okay."

She turned her head to look at the baited area she had set up and the fishing rod next to it. After hesitating for a moment, she directly used her divine power to scoop up all the fish near the baited area, along with the baited area and seawater, and brought them ashore, where she slapped them onto the beach.

Large fish thrashed about on the beach, completely unaware of how they had suddenly ended up on the sand.

Hai Ruo took Hua Jianxue's hand, leaped into the air, and looked down at the fish on the beach below.

We have to go back, but we can't waste the bait. We'll leave the fish and fishing gear here for now and wait for Sanae and the others to come and take them away.

As Hai Ruo was thinking this, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from behind her.

"Snow Girl! Sea Girl!"

"Waaaaah, wait for me, Yuki-chan! Hai-ruo-chan!"

Hai Ruo frowned, stopped in mid-air, turned around, and looked at the distant sea.

Above the sea, a figure dressed in an ill-fitting shrine maiden's outfit flew clumsily, then landed on the beach in an extremely dangerous manner, crashing headfirst, before getting up again.

"Sister Wuhe?" Hua Jianxue was taken aback.

The figure that called out to them and then fell from mid-air was none other than her teacher's shikigami, the high-ranking great yokai of the white crane clan, Maizuru.

She remembered that not long ago her master had sent Maizuru to the Karasu Shrine to bring back Mizuki Rin, so why was she the only one who came back now? And why did she look so disheveled?

Hua Jianxue and Hai Ruo flew back to their original spot, gently landed, and looked at Wu He.

Maizuru was brushing the sand off her shrine maiden clothes, and after cleaning herself up, she rushed towards Hanamiyuki and hugged her tightly.

Because she rushed too fast, and because she was a head and a half shorter than Hanamiyuki, Hanamiyuki's entire face was buried in her chest, and she had to wave her hands to try to break free.

Maizuru hugged Hanamiyuki tightly: "Waaaaah, Yuki-chan! My sister was bullied! You have to avenge my sister, Yuki-chan!"

Hanami Yuki finally managed to break free, staring at the ample bosom before her, then looking down at her own chest, which was only slightly heaving, her expression neither sad nor happy.

She pushed Wuhe away expressionlessly, used her divine power to fly up, and flew to a height where she could look Wuhe in the eye. She reached out and pinched Wuhe's face, rubbing it a few times: "Where is Sister Lin?"

"Why didn't you bring Rin back, Maizuru-neechan?"

“That’s what I was just about to say.” Maizuru grasped Hanami Yuki’s wrist: “Yuki-chan, I received orders from my master to go to Karasu-no-Shrine to bring Rin back, but I ran into Mitsuko and the others from Kansai.”

“Rin is still in their hands. I was also captured by one of the guys named Morikawa Yu. He threatened me, saying that if I didn’t reveal my master, he would have to see Rin’s past, and he would also have to see Rin taking a bath and sleeping.”

"Really?" Hai Ruo subconsciously took a step back. "Isn't that too outrageous? He really watched it?"

“No.” Maizuru shook her head: “I showed him my past on Rin’s behalf, and Rin said he was a very good person and that he just wanted to scare me, not that he really wanted to do it.”

"Then what the hell are you talking to me about?" Hai Ruo rolled her eyes at Wu He, too lazy to pay any more attention to her.

Maizuru turned her head and hugged Hanamiyuki again: "Waaah, Yuki-chan."

This time, it was her turn to bury her face in Hanamiyuki's chest.

But she immediately raised her face again, as if she thought Hua Jianxue's chest was too flat, and changed her posture.

Finally, she lowered her head, hugged Hua Jianxue, and made Hua Jianxue fly higher. She buried her face in Hua Jianxue's belly and rubbed against it.

Hanami Yuki's face darkened noticeably.

She pushed Wuhe away and pinched Wuhe's cheek: "Sister Wuhe, if you keep acting like this, I'll make you into a doll to keep me company, okay?"

Wuhe's expression changed, and she immediately shook her head: "Xue-chan, don't say such heartless and frightening things."

"Have you forgotten how your sister made all sorts of toys for you when you were little, played hide-and-seek with you, and played with you every day?"

However, it would have been better if she hadn't said anything; the more she spoke, the darker Hanamiyuki's face became.

Yes...giving gifts, playing hide-and-seek.

If it were just a normal gift-giving ceremony or a normal game of hide-and-seek between sisters, that would be fine. But Wuhe is not just an ordinary sister; she is not even human, but a powerful member of the White Crane Clan who is proficient in illusion magic.

When Maizuru played hide-and-seek with her, he didn't care whether she wanted to or not, and he did all sorts of strange things with the aim of scaring her to tears.

For example, when she was very young and frightened, walking in a dark corridor crying and looking for her older sister, she suddenly heard her sister's kind voice behind her, but when she turned around, she saw a terrifying blue ghost face.

Although Maizuru quickly dispelled the illusion and returned to her original beautiful appearance, she was still frightened and cried. She stumbled and ran away in the corridor, wanting to find Mizuki Rin and her master.

Or perhaps you're sleeping in bed, and when you open your eyes, you see a terrifying, grotesque face with its gaping, blood-red mouth.

Or perhaps you're eating, and suddenly you find your hands covered in blood, as if you've eaten your own hands.

These are all common occurrences.

Maizuru euphemistically calls it a "trial," aiming to make her the most composed and unflappable priestess in history, but she has no desire to be frightened like this every day.

Even the gift that Maizuru gave was no ordinary gift.

Sometimes it's a spider with a human face that runs around everywhere, and sometimes it's a packaging box that explodes when you open it.

Later, when she was no longer frightened by any of Wuhe's illusions and could slap the gifts on Wuhe's face without expression when Wuhe's "gifts" changed, Wuhe finally ended these "trials" and began to resemble a more mature older sister.

It was only then that she realized that Wuhe could actually be a qualified older sister, but she had done so many things that made her hate her just to toughen her up.

At that time, she really hated Maizuru and thought that after succeeding as the shrine maiden, she would drive Maizuru out of the shrine and not allow her to come back.

Only after understanding Wuhe's good intentions did she finally accept Wuhe.

In contrast, only Mizuki Rin truly cared for and loved her since childhood.

As a result, Maizuru, that idiot older sister, not only failed to bring Mizuki Rin back, but was also captured by the other side and barely managed to escape. What an idiot.

Hanami Yuki sighed, "Alright, I know you were bullied, sister."

"I will avenge you,"

“But you didn’t bring Rin-neechan back, that won’t do.”

Maizuru: "Ugh, I also want to bring Rin back, but that guy named Morikawa Yu is so awful, he can see right through my illusions."

"Even though only Rin, Master, and Yuki-chan can see through my illusions."

"I scared you for six whole years to train your ability to see through illusions. How could he see through my illusions? I never scared him."

Hanamiyuki pinched Maizuru's cheek: "Alright, stop talking. Maybe she has eyes that can see right through your soul?"

"Now that you've escaped back like this, they haven't chased after you, have they?"

"No." Wuhe shook her head.

"I escaped back while your domain trap was in effect, Xue-chan. They didn't notice me at the time, so I quickly used illusion magic to leave the island they were on and flew here."

"My demonic power was also restricted by them, and I almost had to swim back."

Hanamiyuki frowned, carefully using her divine power to sense Masakado's body: "There is indeed a magical power suppressing demonic power, and the caster's rank is very high and the power is very strong. I'm afraid I can't undo it."

"Let's go find our master now and have him help you break the spell."

"Mmm." Wuhe nodded.

She was each held one hand by Hanamiyuki and Hairuo, and they flew towards the Mizuruo Shrine...

......

On the other side, several figures flew through the clouds and silently swept across the sea.

Feiyue held Morikawa Yu's hand and asked softly, "Husband, have you confirmed their location?"

Morikawa Yu opened her eyes and nodded.

"It's confirmed, it's in the direction of the Oki Islands that the Emperor mentioned."

Chapter 579 The Brain Circuit of an Idiot

"Mmm." Feiyue squeezed his hand.

She turned to look at the horizon ahead, her beautiful rose-red eyes shining slightly, her long, elegant silver-white hair fluttering around her, the ends brushing against Morikawa Yu's arm, giving a ticklish feeling.

"My husband, if a battle breaks out, stay by that stinky fox's side and don't move. I'll capture that white crane monster, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Inaba Tenshi flew beside Morikawa Hare and Hitsuki.

Hearing Feiyue's words, she turned to the side and flew closer to Morikawa Yu and Feiyue, and said in her voice, "Morikawa, Lady Feiyue."

"If that youkai Maizuru is really in the Oki Islands, then it's also very likely that Miss Hanami Yuki and Princess Shrine Maiden are in the Oki Islands, so please be careful."
