As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

Seeing a beautiful woman shedding tears, even the most heartless man would feel a little guilty from the bottom of his heart.

But Yuanhui didn't mean that.

He was not deceived by the other party and did not say any comforting words. Instead, he just looked at Tamamonomae quietly, waiting for the answer he wanted.

"My king, you are really cold." Tamamonomae pouted slightly and then began to mutter, "But it doesn't matter. Only a cold king like this is worth conquering."

"The essence of coldness lies in the moment when it changes from 'cold' to 'hot'."

"Come on, Xiaoyu, you can do it."

"But a cold king is great too."

"Xiaoyu, I'm a little tired..."

What are you talking about, you lecherous fox.

Yuanhui coughed with a somewhat amusing look, as if to remind Tamamonomae to be more serious.

After hearing this reminder, Tamamonomae's delicate body trembled slightly, and she obviously understood that now was not the time to go crazy.

"Ah, on this point, your Majesty, you don't have to doubt my loyalty."

"The situation of the Sakurajima royal family is much more complicated than you can imagine." Even Tamamonomae showed a solemn look when talking about this topic.

"Do you know how old the Emperor of Sakurajima is this year?"

This is indeed Yuanhui's blind spot in knowledge.

Before knowing his identity, he actually had no interest in this royal family and naturally had no idea of ​​this information.

"Hmm... 50 years old?" Yuan Hui thought about it for a moment and then casually said an age.

"No." Tamamonomae shook his head. "He is already over 900 years old."

"?" Yuan Hui frowned slightly at first.

He had carefully read the history of Sakurajima before and found that compared with his previous life, although it was almost exactly the same before the Heian period, after the fall of the Heian period, Sakurajima in this world ushered in another completely different world line.

In his original world, after the decline of the Heian period, the samurai class, or the samurai family, rose.

In the end, Minamoto no Yoritomo became the final winner and the first shogun.

Since then, the shogunate era began, which lasted nearly 700 years.

But such history no longer exists in Sakurajima in this era.

After the demise of the Heian period, the ultimate victor was not the Minamoto family or the Taira family, but Emperor Toba's seventh son, Emperor Konoe.

It is known in history as the "Konoe Restoration".

On this Sakurajima, the emperor's power has never been lost and has always been firmly in the hands of the Supreme Being.

It is also for this reason that there are no military families like the Minamoto family and the Heike family among the Five Regents, the Nine Qinghua, or the Three Ministers.

They are all noble families who have clung to the Sakurajima imperial family from beginning to end.

It has only been about nine hundred years since the fall of the Heian period.

Could it be that Emperor Konoe, the man who restored the Sakurajima imperial family, is still alive?

It is impossible for a human being to live that long.

Unless there is weird help.

Or……

Yuanhui looked at Tamamonomae in front of him, and suddenly he thought of a possibility -

"Emperor Konoe, has turned himself into something monstrous?"

"Yes." Tamamonomae nodded solemnly.

"I don't know what method he used, but when I woke up from my deep sleep, I sensed an extremely familiar aura from the current emperor."

Tamamonomae had naturally met Emperor Konoe.

But even she did not expect that she would still meet this old acquaintance after she had been sleeping for more than 900 years.

"Nothing wrong."

"He transformed himself into a monster, so that he could inhabit the souls of his descendants. Like an immortal monster, he firmly occupied the throne of the emperor."

Eternal life is something that all the rich and powerful dream of.

In order to obtain eternal wealth and glory, they are willing to pay an unimaginable price.

Before Yuan Hui traveled through time, this was still a goal that countless people pursued tirelessly.

In this world where supernatural powers exist, this goal seems to be achievable.

That’s right, just give up your human identity.

Wouldn't it be possible to achieve this goal by simply transforming myself into an inhuman monster?

"Emperor Konoe appears to be dead, but in reality that is just a step in transforming a person into a monstrous one."

"After that, he actually turned into a monster, living in the soul of his heir, turning it into his puppet."

"Since then, he has been a ghost attached to the imperial power of Sakurajima, and has been passed down from generation to generation in this seemingly noble family."

"If you want to accommodate him, you must have someone with pure royal blood."

"Because of this, the phenomenon of intermarriage within the Sakurajima royal family is extremely serious."

"That's why your mother made him so angry that she was willing to put him under house arrest in order to intimidate other members of the tribe."

What about the reputation of the Sakurajima royal family and the dignity of being a princess.

In fact, they are just appearances.

The Sakurajima royal family is undoubtedly the number one family in Sakurajima. If they don't allow it, which reporter or newspaper would dare to publish such a report?

Princess Mako did not marry anyone from the royal family, so she gave birth to a child of impure blood, making it impossible for him to turn the child into his puppet.

This was the main reason why he was furious.

"Tama, I don't want to deal with such dirty and filthy things." Tamamonomae's face, which was exactly the same as Kujo Rin's, showed an extremely disgusted expression, and then she looked at Genki eagerly.

"So, I came to see you, Master."

"And this entire Jiujo family is my sincerity and gift."

"What do you think?"

Seventy-nine. I’m betting on my reputation as a love master!

If the jade-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox could pledge allegiance to Yuanhui, it would mean that the artificial monster [Inugami] would defect.

In this way, not only can the crisis of Kujo Rin and the Kujo family be resolved invisibly, but he can even make the first noble of Sakurajima a power in his hands.

No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation with no harm.

Then, Yuanhui’s answer is——

"Sorry, I refuse."

Without even much hesitation, he simply rejected this seemingly tempting suggestion.

"Eh!" Such an answer was obviously beyond Tamamonomae's expectations. She made a somewhat unconvinced and surprised sound, and then puffed up her little face into a small bun -

"why."

She said a little depressed.

"Because I don't trust you."

That’s right, the reason why Yuanhui refused was not because one of his favorite things to do was to say "No" to someone who thought he was very strong.

It's just because he doesn't trust Tamamonomae.

Although Tamamonomae is cute and charming, a truly peerless beauty (? ), she also shows considerable affection for him and seems to obey his every word.

But Yuanhui is not the kind of person who can't move when seeing beautiful women.

To him, Tamamonomae was not a blessing from heaven, but just a woman who suddenly appeared and always said strange things. No, it should be said that she was just a female weirdo.

Although Yuan Hui couldn't find any loopholes in what she said just now, if he really accepted it all, it would seem that he was too unguarded.

The fox is synonymous with cunning.

What's more, in front of him was the super disaster that overthrew five dynasties.

If we follow the classic saying 'the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie', then we shouldn't believe a single word that comes out of this nine-tailed fox.

"Although I am very happy that you are not moved by beauty, if this quality is used on Xiaoyu, I will still feel mixed emotions..." Tamamonomae muttered, "My king, how can I gain your trust?"

As Tamamonomae said this, she saw Genki raise his right hand and place it on his neck.

Then, a faint green light suddenly burst out from there.

The three [X]-shaped scars seemed to come alive, and behind them, Tamamonomae could even feel a chilling gaze coming from a very far distance.

“No, no!” Tamamonomae shook her head quickly, expressing an extremely fierce protest, “I don’t want to be eaten by that red dragon.”

"Don't you have the strange ability of immortality?" Yuan Hui obviously hasn't given up on this idea. "Being buried in the [Blood Field] is just letting you die again."

"You've died so many times, you should be used to it, right?"

"These two kinds of death are different!" Tamamonomae said, "Even if she is eaten by the red dragon, Tama won't die, but in that case-"

"I'm naturally shorter than her, so I can only be the younger one!"

She protested vehemently.

"This concerns the dignity of the legal wife, and it is an issue that cannot be compromised!"

Is now the time to dwell on this kind of thing?

"..." Yuanhui lowered his hand from his neck.

Without knowing the three essential elements of the Golden-haired, Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox, if the other party is resistant, it is almost impossible to restrain him with the [Blood Field].

"You are a monster at the level of a country that can destroy it. Can you please not be so lovesick?" The young man couldn't help but complain.

"What's wrong with a country-destroying level of weirdness?" Tamamonomae was not ashamed of this, but rather said somewhat smugly, "Who said that a country-destroying level of weirdness can't be a love-brained person? Where is there such a rule?"

"This is Xiaoyu's basic character setting. If not, the weird [Golden-haired Jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox] would be considered to have lost its soul!"

"However, Wang, you are right. After all, this is the first time we meet today. It is indeed a bit difficult to establish a trusting relationship just like this."

"Hmm, let me think about it." Tamamonomae on the cross fell into deep thought, as if thinking about how to gain Genki's trust.

Yuanhui did not urge her, but waited silently for her answer.

After several minutes, Tamamonomae seemed to have finally made a decision.

"My king, if I help you rescue your mother, will you trust me more?"

"!"

After hearing this, Yuan Hui couldn't help but be slightly startled, and for the first time, there was a hint of urgency in his words -

"Do you know where she is now?"

Yuanhui wants to save his mother.

But even Akinomiya Yui, who had the ability to foresee, could not find any trace of Princess Mako.

She was hidden in an unknown place by the royal family of Sakurajima.

Yuanhui originally thought that he had to wait until he faced his uncle and knocked him to the ground before he could ask him about his mother's whereabouts. But judging from what Tamamonomae said, could she find Princess Mako's location?

"Actually, I'm not particularly sure..." Tamamonomae didn't say too much, "After all, my true self has not yet awakened. Although I can use some abilities now, what I can do is really very limited."

"However, there aren't many places on this island that can escape the eyes of my sister-in-law."

"Even if we just use the process of elimination, it shouldn't take too long."

"The only problem is that these places are among the most dangerous on this island nation."

"If it was me in my complete form, then I could naturally come and go freely in these places, but if it was me in my current form."

"There may be no way to guarantee your safety..."

Tamamonomae showed some hesitation, as if she was hesitant about whether to let Yuanhui get involved in these things so soon.
