"What exactly do you want? Just tell us and we'll let her go."

Feiyue knows Morikawa Yu's personality and also knows that Morikawa Yu dislikes mysterious "riddlers," so she tells Morikawa Yu everything directly, and Morikawa Yu also tells her things directly, resulting in a very harmonious family relationship.

Aside from Mitsuko constantly teasing Morikawa Yu, saying she should "trust Morikawa Yu" but always protecting Morikawa Yu in various ways, acting like a despicable "useless person-making machine," she thought everything was fine.

Now, facing the shrine maiden Mizuki who was secretive about her actions, she also felt disgusted and immediately asked the shrine maiden what she wanted to do.

The priestess frowned: "We do have things we want to do, but these things are none of your business, and you really don't need to keep asking."

Feiyue narrowed her eyes.

She said coldly, "Alright, stop with these meaningless words, Water Moon Goddess. Regardless of whether what you want to do is related to us or not, my husband has already captured your student. You can't do these things without her."

"Then these things are related to us."

“Tell us all these things and we will release your students. Otherwise, you can’t do anything, and your students will be in danger.”

"Believe me, although my husband is a very gentle person, he is always ruthless towards his enemies. He will not show mercy to your student just because she is cute and a little beauty."

The priestess remained silent.

"Sure, I can tell you what we're going to do, and I can also tell you what's happened during this time, but you must release my students first."

"No." Fei Yue shook her head slightly.

The priestess frowned: "No? You don't trust us? I am the lord of Izumo, after all. I won't break my word. I will definitely keep my promise."

"If you release my students first, I will tell you what you want to know."

Feiyue scoffed, "Of course I don't believe you."

"I don't know what you've been doing on the border of Izumo, causing unrest and turmoil. If it weren't for you, I should be at home with my husband right now, sleeping together or doing other things. Whatever we do, I wouldn't have to fight with you here."

"Besides, if you agree to my request without even discussing it with the goddesses Shenzhi and Jiwu, what if they disagree after you agree? Wouldn't that make it easy for you to go back on your word?"

The priestess frowned slightly.

Beside her, Shenzhi spoke up: "I agree with Shuiyue's decision and am willing to exchange what she has to do for Xue. As long as you return Xue to us, you can do whatever you want."

The priestess frowned, but did not speak.

Even if she wanted to continue fighting now, the Shrine Maiden and the Divine Oriole wouldn't help her anymore; she alone was no match for Hiizuki and Mitsuko.

Feiyue: "Then let's go back now."

“Tell me what happened first, and then I will have my husband release your student.”

The Water Moon Goddess nodded.

The shrine maiden and the goddess nodded in agreement.

......

On the other side, outside the shrine, Morikawa Yu held Hanamiyuki's shoulder with one hand, staring at Hanamiyuki's small face.

Chapter 599 You bastard, you're doing it again!?

However, to Morikawa Yu's surprise, Hanami Yuki suddenly opened her arms and hugged him.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Anyone who sees a prisoner they've captured stretch out his arms and embrace them without reservation would be stunned for a moment.

The same goes for Morikawa Yu.

But he wasn't foolish enough to think that Hua Jianxue wanted to give him a hug and then use her flat but still very soft breasts, which were that of a little girl with no personality traits, to make him, a cold adult, let her go.

He instinctively kicked out, trying to push Hanamiyuki away, then reversed the Tsurumaru sword and used the back of the blade to slash at Hanamiyuki's arm.

A divine light emanated from Hanami Yuki's body, forming a bright golden barrier that blocked his kick and the back of his knife. She continued to embrace him, directly hugging his other half and pressing her face against his waist.

A pale white light shone from between the girl's eyebrows.

She whispered, "Reveal yourself, the principle of existence."

"With the present world as its flesh and blood, and the past as its spirit, all things in the universe are born from this."

A white light emanated from her forehead, enveloping Morikawa Yu's body and quickly swallowing up her and Morikawa Yu's embracing figures.

As the white light appeared, the back of Morikawa Yu's hand also began to glow, and this light continued to spread outward, enveloping Inaba Tenshi, Asaka, and the demon god Kashima in the middle of the plaza.

The five figures disappeared together in the square.

......

On the quiet forest floor, a ball of white light gathered and slowly became transparent, revealing the figure of Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu frowned as she watched the white light beside her dissipate.

He turned his head and looked around, only to find that Hanamiyuki, Inaba Tenshi, and Asaka had all disappeared.

Just now, Hua Jianxue was holding his waist, but now she's nowhere to be found.

Rabbit Girl and Asaka have also disappeared.

At least he didn't sense the presence of Tenshi Inaba and Asaka nearby.

The white light and divine power just now engulfed him, Hua Jianxue, and the rabbit girl. They seemed to have been separated by the white light and moved far away from him. They could no longer be found.

Only the demon Maikaku, who was knocked unconscious and imprisoned in the Goshuincho, and the priestess Sanae, whose Ōtamaru and Shinkaku were watching Maikaku and Umi no Kami, remained in his Goshuincho and did not disappear.

Sen Chuan Yu felt a strange sensation and looked around again.

He was surrounded by a quiet woodland with few trees, where lush vegetation grew under the shade of the trees. The ground had a slight slope, and in the distance, one could see a hillside at the end of the woodland.

He stared at the woodland before him, pondering for a moment.

This is clearly the boundary between a plain and a forest.

He had seen such hillside woodlands when he visited the remote Kansai mountains where Mitsuko and Tamamo lived.

Moreover, one can feel a faint pressure nearby, very much like the oppressive feeling of a divine yokai like Komitsuko and Kotamamo. There must be a great divine yokai like Komitsuko and Kotamamo here.

But he was just in the plaza of the main hall of the Mizuwakazu Shrine, how did he suddenly end up in such a remote mountain forest?

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He recalled the way Hua Jianxue hugged him and the white divine light emanating from her body, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.

It wasn't just what Hanamiyuki did at the end, but also that white power and divine light—everything about it gave him an indescribable sense of déjà vu.

When Hanamiyuki pulled him into the realm of the Age of Gods on Oki Island, a similar white divine light appeared.

Is she unwilling to be captured by him, and in a desperate move, is she dragging him into the realm of history again?

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He defeated Hanamiyuki in the realm of divine history, obtained the Shadow of Power, and merged the power of the Shrine Maiden's Shadow of Power into his own "past" power. The realm of divine history then became his domain of power.

Hanamiyuki shouldn't be able to trigger his historical domain.

How did he end up re-entering the realm of history?

Morikawa Yu raised his hand, looked at the back of his hand, and activated the power of his authority. The "Past" authority mark on the back of his hand immediately shone.

He could sense that the realm of divine history within was peaceful and stable, without any abnormalities. Hanami Yuki had dragged him into what was probably not the realm of divine history, but another realm of history.

But how did she do that? Does she have another shadow of power? Can the priestess's power be divided to produce so much strength?

Morikawa Yu frowned in thought, then leaped into the air, soaring over the treetops above and continuing upwards.

He flew to a certain height, turned around and looked down at the mountains and forests below, trying to find the figures of Inaba Tenshi, Asaka and Hanamiyuki.

He had already entered the realm of history once, and even turned that realm of divine history into his own.

Compared to his first time entering the historical realm, he was not as nervous as he was the first time. Moreover, he already knew that he was not entering the historical realm with his real body, and he also knew how to leave the historical realm.

Hanami Yuki already told him that last time.

If either of their consciousness projections is destroyed, the other person can merge with the power of the destroyed consciousness projectionist and transform the historical realm they inhabit into their own, then easily leave.

Of course, those whose consciousness projections have been killed can also leave, and can even leave the historical realm by committing suicide.

However, the downside of that is that it leaves behind the shadow of one's own power.

When his consciousness projection is destroyed, a portion of his power will remain. When Hanamiyuki's consciousness projection is destroyed, the consciousness projection given to her by the priestess will remain.

If another person finds this Shadow of Power, they can merge with it and turn this historical realm into their own.

Hanamiyuki probably intends to use this method as a final act of resistance against him, attempting to drag him into a new historical realm and then defeat him there.

However, Morikawa Yu was not flustered at all, and even looked forward to it.

It's like how after defeating someone, you're always curious to see what their expression will be when you defeat them again.

He was also very curious to see what would happen if he caught Hanamiyuki, this emotionless loli, again.

Will she cry in frustration? Or will she break down completely, find a corner to curse him in despair? Or will she be so devastated by his actions that she becomes a submissive little girl, no longer resisting no matter how he manipulates her?

Thinking of Hanami Yuki's appearance after being defeated by him twice, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Anyway, since Feiyue has already made the priestess back down and compromise, it wouldn't hurt for him to capture Hanamiyuki again and make her truly convinced.

Morikawa Yu flew slowly above the mountains and forests, using the wind to search for Inaba Tenshi, Asaka, and Hanami Yuki.

However, this forest was significantly larger than the deep mountains of Kansai where Mitsuko and Tamamo lived. It took him a while to fly from outside the forest into its outer perimeter.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu paused for a moment.

He saw a figure walking up the mountain in the forest below.

He was a young man dressed in a blue haori (a type of traditional Chinese clothing).

Chapter 600 Who are you?

The young man had a long katana at his waist and long black hair tied casually behind his back, giving him a very elegant look. However, the large bag he carried on his shoulder significantly disrupted this elegant feel.

After thinking for a moment, Morikawa Yu increased his speed while flying, soaring over the youth and the woodland.

He turned around, looked at the young man's face in the woods, and was immediately startled again.

"Hanami...yuki?"

The young man was very handsome. Although it's not a good word to describe a man, the word that Morikawa Yu could think of to best describe the young man's appearance was "handsome".

The other person was so beautiful that she was just like the demon king Ibaraki-doji, who had a male appearance but a female form. She could easily pass for a real woman by simply putting on some women's clothes and light makeup. She could definitely be called a "beautiful girl".

Although Morikawa Yu's looks are not bad, basically on par with this young man, his appearance leans more towards a heroic and sharp youthful look, and even if he wears women's clothing, it is easy to tell that he is a boy.

Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that the young man looks somewhat like Hanami Yuki, whether it's his eyebrows and eyes or his temperament, they are very similar.

However, Morikawa Yu could sense that the other person was clearly not Hanami Yuki.

It wasn't just because the other party was a man, but because he didn't possess divine power, but instead had an extremely sharp sword intent.

This kind of sword intent is not the so-called temperament that can be acquired by simply practicing swordsmanship for a few years. Rather, it is the true sword intent that can truly awe the minds of others and drive away evil.

Although not as refined as his sword intent, it was still quite impressive and far from ordinary.

Hanami Yuki doesn't have any swordsmanship skills; what she has is divine power and authority given to her by the shrine maiden and the great yokai from the Age of Gods, Kanori, from Izumo. She is clearly not the same person.

After thinking for a moment, Morikawa Yu flew down towards the young man in the forest wearing a blue haori and carrying a bag.

The young man in the blue haori had also just noticed Morikawa Yu flying in the air.

He kept staring at Morikawa Yu's figure in the sky, gently untied the bag on his shoulder, and placed his hand on the long katana at his waist, making a gesture as if he was about to draw his sword.

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly, stopped a little above the treetop, and looked at the young man.

He was very familiar with the young man's posture.

That's a very common starting stance for "One-Sword Style Draw Slash".

Swordsmen can use this stance to draw their swords very quickly with a reverse grip, which allows them to both strike enemies and protect themselves.

The young man drew his katana slightly from its sheath and stared at Morikawa Yu's figure.

Having confirmed that Morikawa Yu emanated no hostility or malevolent aura, only the same sword intent as him, and although his clothes were somewhat strange, he did not seem like a demon, the young man relaxed slightly and sheathed his sword.

The young man took a step back, indicating that Morikawa Yu could land.

Morikawa Yu descended on the wind.

The young man asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? And why are you in this place where demons roam?"
