Morikawa Yu felt as if all the bones in her body were cracking.

The big fox got jealous.

Moreover, Fei Yue next to him must be jealous too. She's probably not saying anything now just to save face for him, and she'll settle the score with him when no one's around.

Morikawa Yu quickly used telepathy to tell Mitsuko and Hiizuki about Kashima.

"Hmph." Yujinzi finally released her arm, but was still somewhat dissatisfied: "Darling, don't go to her just because she said that. She's all alone, and she might not actually help you. If you encounter any trouble, only Feiyue and I can help you, understand?"

She stared into Morikawa Yu's eyes.

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He grasped Mitsuko's hand around his waist: "Let's not talk about my affairs anymore. Let's get the priestess to explain the situation of the Izumo incident as soon as possible."

Mizuko grasped his hand in return and hugged him tightly again. Then she rested her chin on his shoulder, pressed her ear against his cheek, and looked at the priestess: "Lord Mizuki, you heard what my dear just said."

"Your student, Miss Hanamiyuki, is in our hands."

"Now, just as we agreed in the realm, tell us what we want to know, Lord Water Moon, or your student will be in danger."

She held Morikawa Yu in her arms, looked at the shrine maiden, and smiled.

She was in a good mood.

And it can be said to be very good.

Although there was a slight mishap just now, and it seems that Morikawa Yu has once again provoked a great yokai girl from the same era as her and Hiigetsu, since it wasn't Morikawa Yu who took the initiative to please the other party, she was too lazy to be jealous, but she was a little more wary.

Moreover, she and Feiyue had the upper hand in the battle just now.

Even though there were three of them—the Divine Priestess, the Divine Oriole, and the Princess Priestess—they still couldn't gain any advantage over her and Himezuki.

Moreover, Morikawa Yu also captured Hanami Yuki.

Regardless of why the priestesses Mizuki and Shinori care so much about Hanamiyuki, as long as Hanamiyuki is in their hands, they hold the initiative.

The priestess remained silent for a moment.

She looked at Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, then at the cold-eyed Hishitsuki beside her, and nodded. "Alright, I will keep my promise and tell you what we are doing, as well as what has happened in Izumo during this time. But you must first get Lord Morikawa to release Yuki and the others."

Mitsuko shook her head: "No."

"Lord Water Moon, don't forget what we agreed on earlier. You answer our questions first, and then my beloved will release your student."

The priestess frowned: "That was just now."

"You don't believe us, and we don't believe you either."

Feiyue said coldly, "Then I'll use my reputation to guarantee it. You can trust me, right?"

"The credibility of the Lord of the Northern Mountains?" The priestess pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

“I’ll speak first, then you can have Morikawa Shrine Master release Yuki and the others.”

Chapter 634 She is interested in me

Instead of answering the priestess directly, Fei Yue glanced at Morikawa Yu and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"

Morikawa Yu nodded.

He had no objection, of course, since he had already driven Hanamiyuki to the brink of depression.

As long as the priestess explains everything about Izumo clearly, he wouldn't mind releasing Hanamiyuki, the Sea God, and Maihe.

The priestess looked at him, Hishitsuki, and Mitsuko beside her, and sighed softly.

Although she was still somewhat unwilling to accept her defeat, Hanami Yuki was in Morikawa Yu's hands, so she had no choice but to bow her head and compromise.

Finally, the priestess said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you, but I still don't know what you want to know..."

"What we want to know is very simple."

Mitsuko interrupted the shrine maiden: "It's about what happened in Izumo recently."

"If you don't know how to say it, let's start with this tide of demonic energy in Izumo. Lord Mizuki, there are very few such large fluctuations of demonic energy in the mortal world. Its appearance is very abnormal."

The priestess nodded: "If these are all the things you want to know, then I don't need to explain them one by one."

"All of these things actually stem from one thing."

Mitsuko frowned slightly: "One thing? What is it?"

The shrine maiden did not speak directly, but instead glanced at the shrine maiden beside her, Shinori and Hime.

Shenzhi nodded.

The shrine maiden remained expressionless, staring coldly at Morikawa Yu and Mitsuko, who was hugging Morikawa Yu from behind, without uttering a word.

The priestess then turned back and said, "All of this is actually because of one thing, which is a seal in our land of Izumo. This seal is about to be broken."

She sighed: "Whether it's the demonic energy tide, or Izumo City and other places, it's all because of it that changes have occurred."

Mitsuko frowned: "Seal? What seal?"

Morikawa Yuya looked at the shrine maiden, also a little curious about what kind of seal had been broken to cause such a big commotion.

The priestess said, "The seal of Orochi, the fierce god of our land of Izumo during the Age of Gods."

"Baqi?" Morikawa Yu frowned.

The priestess nodded: "Yes, Orochi, she is a great demon from the Age of Gods in our Izumo Land. Since you, Lord Morikawa, went to the historical realm of the Age of Gods with Yuki, you should have heard of her name."

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

He had indeed heard the name before, but not in the realm of divine history; he had heard it in his previous life.

It is said to be an extremely terrifying monster that lives in the land of Izumo. It has eight heads and eight tails, and its body is as huge as eight mountain peaks and eight valleys. Its head is like a dragon, its eyes are as red as blood sand, its back is covered with moss and trees, its abdomen is ulcerated and bleeding, and eight-colored dark clouds often float above its head.

Aside from his previous life, he had also heard this name when he was doing missions in the Dragon Clan world.

However, the Dragon Raja world is just a mission world created by the system, not the real world. The Orochi in the real world is definitely not the same as in the previous life and the Dragon Raja world.

Mitsuko frowned slightly: "Yagi? You mean Yagi? Isn't she already dead? How can there still be a seal related to her?"

The priestess shook her head: "She did die back then, killed by the First Generation and Shenzhi, but she wasn't completely dead. A considerable amount of her power remained. After the First Generation and Shenzhi killed her, her power lingered in the Land of Izumo, so the First Generation set up a seal to suppress it..."

Morikawa Yu listened to the conversation between Mitsuko and the shrine maiden, and was slightly stunned.

He had just been listening to the priestess's explanation when he suddenly realized he didn't understand it anymore.

He blinked and looked at Fei Yue.

Feiyue exchanged a glance with him and immediately understood his predicament.

Morikawa Yu is neither a great yokai like them from the Age of Gods, nor a supreme god like Suigetsu and Hime-sama.

Although Ryoko gave him the position of head priest of Tokyo and the power of the priesthood, there were still many secrets he did not know.

Including some ancient stories from the time of the gods.

These things are not exactly secrets, but only some long-lived and powerful demons, or human gods of high status, know about them.

The priestess also noticed Morikawa Yu's confusion.

She raised her eyebrows: "I almost forgot that Lord Morikawa did not inherit Lord Ryoko's divine status and divine power, and he should not have heard Lord Ryoko or Lord Mitsuko talk about these things from the Age of Gods."

"Then what we're about to say probably won't be understood by Lord Morikawa either..."

The shrine maiden crossed her arms and looked at Morikawa Yu, then suddenly smiled: "Lord Morikawa, Lord Ryoko didn't tell you about these things from the Age of Gods. Why don't you come to me and I'll tell you everything?"

Feiyue frowned, her eyes turning slightly cold: "Lord Shuiyue, let's talk things out properly."

The priestess sensed the warning in Scarlet Moon's eyes and paused for a moment.

She shook her head slightly: "Never mind, I'll just get straight to the point and also mention the seal at the same time."

She looked at Morikawa Yu: "Lord Morikawa, you, Lady Hiizuki, and Lord Mitsuko are husband and wife, so you should know that they were all great demons from the Age of Gods."

"The Orochi we just mentioned, which is sealed away, was also a great demon from the age of gods."

"But she is not a pure great demon."

The priestess paused for a moment, then said, "She... or rather, it, although it possesses the demonic power of a great demon from the Age of Gods, it does not have the original form of a great demon, but only a simple demonic body, and its body is closer to that of a god."

"It was very dissatisfied with itself and wanted to become a real great monster or a real god. In the end, it came up with a plan: to devour the gods, obtain the divine position, and condense its own divine body."

"Wait a minute." Morikawa Yu frowned and interrupted the priestess: "You mean it's preparing to condense its own divine body?"

"Why did it do that? Why didn't it try to become a true great yokai from the Age of Gods?"

He knew the legend of Yamata no Orochi.

It is said that it wreaked havoc everywhere in Izumo, eating seven of the eight divine daughters of a divine couple in Izumo, and even wanted to eat their youngest daughter, Kushinada-hime. In the end, it was Susanoo-no-Mikoto, whom it had met in the realm of the Age of Gods, who saved Kushinada-hime.

Susanoo, lusting after Kushinada-hime's beauty, set a trap to get Yamata-no-Orochi drunk. He then used the divine weapon Ame-no-Habakiri to sever Yamata-no-Orochi inch by inch, and found the Ame-no-Kurakumo-no-Tsurugi in Yamata-no-Orochi's tail. He then presented the Ame-no-Kurakumo-no-Tsurugi to his sister Amaterasu-Omikami, married Kushinada-hime, and lived in Izumo ever since.

But he really didn't know that the Yamata no Orochi in reality was trying to condense a divine body to devour the gods.

The priestess frowned as well: "How do I know why it didn't try to become a great demon of the divine era, but instead condensed a divine body? I've never even seen it..."

“So let me speak.” Mitsuko sighed, interrupting the shrine maiden as well.

She hugged Morikawa Yu from behind, rested her chin on Morikawa Yu's shoulder, and looked at Shenzhi beside her: "Or you can let Shenzhi speak. You probably only heard about the Age of Gods from your teacher, so you certainly don't know as much as we do."

Upon hearing this, Morikawa Yu also looked at the beautiful Izumo Shindai great youkai girl with white hair and red eyes next to the shrine maiden.

Shenzhi paused for a moment: "Should I say it?"

Mizuko nodded: "Well, I can explain it myself, but I don't know why Orochi left a seal after he died. You'll have to explain it to me later."

Shenzhi nodded: "Then I'll explain."

The priestess narrowed her eyes, somewhat displeased.

However, she did not personally experience what happened back then; she only heard about the events of the Age of Gods from the previous generation of priestesses and Shinori. Shinori must have known more about it than she did.

Shenzhi: "Then I'll explain. Where was Shuiyue when she left off?"

The priestess curled her lip: "Speaking of which, why didn't it become a great demon of the Age of Gods, but instead condensed into a divine body?"

Shenzhi nodded: "Hmm... If we're talking about this, I don't really know why Orochi chose to condense a divine body; I only have some guesses."

"I think she probably found our original form as a divine demon too terrifying and didn't want to become like us, so she chose to condense into the divine form that humans worship and revere..."

As Shenzhi spoke, she looked at Morikawa Yu and suddenly asked, "Lord Morikawa, can you tell me why you are with Hishizuki and Mitsuko?"

She looked at Morikawa Yu, but her gaze wasn't entirely on Morikawa Yu. Instead, she was looking more at Mitsuko, who was hugging Morikawa Yu from behind, and Hiizuki next to Morikawa Yu, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Hizuki and Mitsuko are both demons of the Age of Gods, just like me. The original forms of us demons of the Age of Gods are all extremely terrifying. Aren't you afraid when you're with them?"

Scared?

Morikawa Yu was taken aback, not expecting Shenzhi to ask this question suddenly.

He subconsciously glanced at Fei Yue beside him.

If he were an ordinary person, a demon, or a god, he would indeed be afraid of the original forms of Hiizuki and the others, since the original forms of the great demons of the Age of Gods were extremely terrifying. However, his soul and vision are different from ordinary people. In his eyes, Hiizuki and Mitsuko are not monsters, but stunningly beautiful girls.

He wasn't afraid of Fei Yue and the others at all; in fact, he liked them very much.

Feiyue's eyes were slightly cold.

Before Morikawa Yu could speak, she reached out and blocked his way, staring at him: "There's no need to tell her about this, my husband."

"It's our turn to ask them, not the other way around!"

However, Kaori simply sighed, as if she already knew what the answer would be.

"It seems that what the goddess Jiwu said is true."

"Lord Morikawa, your soul is extraordinary. In your eyes, the original form of us, the demons of the Age of Gods, is not a terrifying monster, but a beautiful girl, is that right?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, then subconsciously nodded, admitting that Kamori was right.

However, when he saw Feiyue staring at him, he immediately realized what was happening and didn't respond.

However, Kaori still noticed Morikawa Yu's hesitation.

The great yokai girl from the divine era dimmed slightly, her gaze filled with regret, as if she had missed some opportunity.

She sighed softly, "Lord Morikawa, if you weren't the Lord of Tokyo, but lived in Izumo, I wouldn't have to worry about other people's opinions and live alone in the realm."

Morikawa Yu's heart trembled and he stared at Kamiori.

Even if he was slow to notice, he could tell that something was wrong.
