I'm having fun in Tokyo

It seems that Shenzhi is interested in him.

And it's not the "she seems to be interested in me" one of the three great illusions of life, but that she is genuinely interested in him, and even made this direct approach to him in front of Fei Yue and the others.

This made him somewhat worried.

Chapter 635 Target, The Origin of the Divine Era

While being liked by a powerful, beautiful, and mysterious yokai girl from the Age of Gods who stands at the pinnacle of secrecy should be a very fulfilling thing, he is already married to Hiizuki and Mitsuko, and is here with them dealing with matters in Izumo.

In this situation, he had no time to feel proud; he was only worried that Hiizuki or Mitsuko would suddenly become yandere and transform back into their demon form from behind him, swallowing him whole.

And he did feel a chill in his neck.

Mitsuko blew air near his collarbone as if nothing was wrong, rubbed her cheek against his cheek, and pressed her fox ears against his ear.

"Darling, don't forget what you told me and Feiyue, okay?"

Feiyue stared at him, her gaze cold: "Husband, do you understand what I mean?"

Morikawa Yu nodded immediately.

Although he didn't understand what Mitsuko meant by "things" and what Hisui meant by "meaning," he still nodded: "I understand, I understand."

Feiyue snorted coldly before shifting her gaze and glaring at Yujinzi.

"Silly fox, couldn't you have just told me about Orochi? Why did you have to have Kamori tell you?"

Mizuko also frowned.

Little did she know that Shenzhi would suddenly ask this question?

If she had known that Shenzhi would ask Morikawa Yu this question, she certainly wouldn't have let Shenzhi speak.

Displeased, she turned her gaze to Shenzhi, gave a defiant snort, hugged Morikawa Yu tightly, and even kissed Morikawa Yu on the cheek.

Shenzhi's gaze remained unchanged.

However, her tightly clenched hands and the demonic aura unconsciously emanating from her body revealed that she was very unhappy.

She paused for a moment, then looked away from Mitsuko's face and focused on Morikawa Yu, continuing, "In short, I think it probably disliked the original form of our divine demons as too terrifying and frightening, so it chose to condense a divine body so that humans and gods would accept and worship it."

"So it searched for gods everywhere, devoured many gods, and refined their bodies and powers in an attempt to condense a divine body."

"And then there's what you know about Hiizuki and Mitsuko."

"This guy Yamata was ambushed by Susanoo, the god who was banished from Takamagahara. He got drunk on poisoned wine, and all his heads were cut off. Susanoo was worried that he would be resurrected, so he also crushed his body."

Hiizuki and Mitsuko nodded.

Morikawa Yu also nodded.

What Shenzhi said matched the rumors he had heard. However, he did not expect that the Yamata no Orochi in history would have clashed with Susanoo for this reason and been killed in his demon form.

So the seal was set up by Susanoo to prevent the Yamata no Orochi from being resurrected?

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

He looked at Shenzhi.

Shenzhi looked at him and continued, "What happened afterward is probably unknown to you, Hisukatsu and Mitsuko. Although Orochi was killed, it did not truly die; instead, it revived."

“Great yokai like us from the Age of Gods never truly die.”

"As long as we have even the slightest bit of strength left, we can reassemble our consciousness and body and be reborn in the world, it just will take a long time."

"And so Orochi was revived."

"Although Susanoo dismembered it, it left behind the bone in its tail, the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, and it was only dismembered, but its flesh and blood remained."

"I must say, that Susanoo was still arrogant."

"Even if it completely destroys Orochi's flesh and blood, as long as Orochi has a trace of power or aura left in the world, Orochi can be revived, let alone when Orochi's flesh and blood are still there."

"It only took Orochi a little over six hundred years to recover and be reborn, and to reunite its consciousness and body."

"After it was resurrected, it went directly to the Oki Islands to find Susanoo, killed Susanoo, and also killed Susanoo's wife, Kushinada-hime."

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, then stared wide-eyed at Kamori.

He was a little surprised.

It wasn't that I was surprised that Orochi had actually been resurrected in reality and had killed Susanoo, but rather that Orochi had even killed Kushinada-hime.

Wasn't it trying to devour the gods and condense a divine body? Why did it kill Princess Kushinada as well?

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Was it because the Age of Gods was about to end at that time?"

If Orochi suddenly abandons the process of condensing a divine body and instead simply kills Susanoo and Kushinada to vent his anger, then the Age of Gods is probably coming to an end.

Shenzhi nodded: "Yes, you guessed right."

"At that time, the Age of Gods was about to end. In the more than 600 years since Orochi revived by gathering his consciousness and divine power, many things have happened. The Age of Gods has also declined, and the gods have become weak."

"Orochi originally intended to condense a divine body to gain the respect of humans and gods. Moreover, when it was killed by Susanoo, it had already condensed a divine position and divinity. It only needed to devour some more gods to condense its own divine body."

"But it was careless and was killed by Susanoo."

"Later, it revived and, seeing the weakened state of Susanoo and Kushinada-hime, and considering its own poor condition, knew that the gods had reached their end, and decided to no longer condense divine bodies,"

"It then prepared to devour monsters and condense its demonic form, and it ate a great many monsters."

"This made me and the first priestess at the time a little worried. In the end, the first priestess and I went to find Orochi and tried to make it give up the idea of ​​forming a demon body."

"But it had already formed its own demonic form and wanted to devour my demonic power to become a true great demon."

"I had no choice but to kill her together with the First Generation."

"But her power is extremely strong, and she left behind a lot of power and aura. The First Generation and I were not able to truly kill her, and it was also difficult to dissolve and destroy her power. We could only try to find these powers and seal them away. The two most powerful parts are in Izumo Taisha and Oki Islands."

"My visits to Izumo Taisha Shrine over the past thousand years have also been to see these seals, in preparation for killing her once again after her resurrection."

"She is about to be resurrected, so I came to the Oki Islands to see how the seal beneath them is doing."

The shrine maiden was also listening to Shenzhi's words, and then said to Morikawa Yu, "In short, that's it. Whether it's the recent tide of demonic energy or our dragging Izumo City into the domain, it's all because of the seal."

"It's because she's about to be resurrected, and her power is overflowing the seal, causing a surge of demonic energy."

"Because her resurrection could potentially cause great destruction, we dragged Izumo City into our domain, and then I took Yuki with me to the Oki Islands to await her resurrection..."

"Master, don't believe her, she's lying."

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu heard the voice of Shinkaku coming from the Goshuincho space.

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Is the priestess lying?

He subconsciously immersed his consciousness into the space of the Imperial Vermilion Seal, searching for Xin Jue's figure.

......

Inside the space of the Goshuin-cho (a type of tent), Shinju sat next to Ootamaru, holding onto Ootamaru's clothes.

She watched the scene of Morikawa Yu and the priestess negotiating outside, listening intently to the sounds outside. When the priestess finally spoke, she frowned and couldn't help but speak to Morikawa Yu, "Master, don't believe her, she's lying."

Not far from her and Otamaru.

Hanamiyuki, the Sea God, and the Dancer also watched the scene outside and listened to what the Goddess and the Shrine Maiden were saying.

Upon hearing Xinjue's voice, the three of them turned around and stared at her.

Xinjue shrank back.

Daitamaru raised an eyebrow: "Hey, hey, hey, this is my good brother Morikawa's territory. What are you three planning to do to his little maid with those expressions on your faces?"

"Believe it or not, Morikawa forced the three of you to stay here and lock you up, making you three his maids too?"

Hanami Yuki's face turned cold as she stared at Daimamaru.

Morikawa Yu's thoughts sank into the imperial seal tent.

He noticed that Hua Jianxue's expression was off and glanced at her.

Hanami Yuki felt Morikawa Yu's gaze and her body stiffened.

Morikawa Yu wasn't in the mood to pay attention to her, and looked at Shinjuku next to Ootamaru: "Shinjuku, are you saying that the Shrine Maiden is lying?"

Xin Jue immediately nodded: "Yes, Master, I just heard what Lord Shenzhi and Lord Shuiyue said. What Lord Shenzhi said should be true, but what Lord Shuiyue said should not be true."

Morikawa Yu nodded in his heart.

He pulled himself out of his reverie, came to his senses, and stared at the priestess: "Lord Water Moon, you weren't telling the truth, were you?"

"I have my little maid, Xin Jue, with me. She has the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. She can tell whether what you're saying is true or not as soon as she hears it."

The priestess frowned: "Hmph."

She knew that Morikawa Yu and Hisui had a yokai named Shinkaku by their side, and she also knew that Morikawa Yu had been taking her with him all along, but she just wanted to try to see if she could keep it a secret.

It would be good if we could hide it, but it doesn't matter if we can't.

"That's right, I did hide some things from you."

Morikawa Yu: "So, even now, you, Lord Water Moon God, are still unwilling to tell us what happened? If you continue like this, we really have nothing more to say."

Shenzhi also spoke up: "Suiyue, there's no need to keep it a secret any longer. Tell them everything you want to do."

The priestess's expression darkened slightly, but she finally nodded.

"Alright, then I'll tell you."

"What Shenzhi said just now is true, and what I said before is also true."

“But I don’t want to seal Orochi again. What I want is her demonic power. I’ve found a way to refine her demonic power, so that she can never be resurrected, and I can also give her demonic power to Yuki.”

"I hope that Yuki can become a half-demon immortal being, and then inherit my position and power as the god-king, becoming the god-king of half-demons, and ruling Izumo for a long time."

"Then why don't you just tell us the truth?"

Mizuko frowned slightly: "As long as you tell us the truth, we will not misunderstand you, and this conflict will not have occurred."

"If I tell you the truth, there won't be any conflict?" The priestess sneered. "That's not necessarily true."

Her gaze was fixed on Hiizuki and Mitsuko, then on Morikawa Yu, and finally back on Hiizuki and Mitsuko: "Although I don't know why Ryoko-sama didn't die, but only faked her death."

“I don’t know why Ryoko-sama made such an arrangement in advance, but it is certain that Morikawa-sama did not inherit Ryoko-sama’s divine status and is still human.”

"Since that's the case, is it wrong for me to take extra precautions to prevent you from stealing Orochi's demonic power?"

Mitsuko frowned; she had already understood what the shrine maiden meant.

The priestess was worried that she and Hiigetsu would steal Orochi's demonic power source for Morikawa Yu's sake.

The priestess looked at Morikawa Yu: "The Morikawa God Lord is also human and has a limited lifespan. You two are immortal beings from the Age of Gods, so you must also want your husbands to become immortal beings and stay with you forever."

"If you knew about Orochi, wouldn't you want to get involved, seize Orochi's demonic power, and help Morikawa become a half-demon immortal?"

Feiyue also frowned.

Although she disliked the priestess, what the priestess said did make sense.

If she knew that Orochi was sealed beneath the Oki Islands and that Orochi was in poor condition, she would definitely have the idea of ​​killing Orochi, seizing its demonic power, and giving it to Morikawa Yu.

Chapter 636 Sufficient margin

“That’s why I’m so worried,” the priestess said coldly. “Yamata’s demonic power is only enough for Yuki to use. Even if I wanted to have a proper talk with you, there’s no point in continuing the conversation.”

"In that case, I'll definitely have to think this through carefully, lest you steal it from me."

Morikawa Yu and Hiizuki exchanged a glance.

His gaze shifted to the priestess, and he stared intently at her.

Before he arrived in Izumo, he had made many guesses about the state of the priestess, but he never expected that the strange changes in Izumo this time were due to the sealing of the evil god Yamata no Orochi from the Izumo Age of Gods.

The priestess concealed the truth about Izumo from him and Hiizuki because of the demonic power of the Yamata no Orochi sealed within.

She wanted to refine the demonic power of Orochi, the demon from the Age of Gods, which was sealed within, so that her student, Hanami Yuki, could become an immortal half-demon from the Age of Gods and then take over her position as the eternal ruler of Izumo.

This was not a problem in itself; as the supreme deity of Izumo, she naturally had the power to decide on the next successor.

Who becomes the next Supreme God of Izumo is their own business, and how long they remain in that position is also their own business.

The problem is that he is also human, and the husband of two great yokai from the Age of Gods, Himeki and Mitsuko.
