"Yes, Your Excellency, if the gods find out in the future that we knew about this but did not report it, we will be severely punished as well."

A worried voice followed from the crowd, but he seemed somewhat timid as he spoke.

Without a doubt, this is a situation where one is caught in a dilemma.

The only one who remained relatively calm was the priest himself.

He slowly swept his gaze over his colleagues, whose expressions were tense yet whose eyes held expectation, and then spoke righteously:

"Today, the shrine maiden Kasumi was bewitched by a demon and left the shrine without permission."

"We descended the mountain to seek out the demon and uphold the shrine's dignity!"

"After chasing the monster for ten days, I even encountered someone at the Genji Festival where the monster was. I felt that he resembled the person described in the oracle a few years ago, so I dared not delay and came back to report."

His words, spoken slowly and deliberately, were like a sudden awakening, instantly bringing warmth and comfort back to the shrine's onmyoji who had been looking grim.

"right,"

"The High Priest is right!"

"How dare this audacious monster presume to overstep the bounds of the shrine that enshrines the gods! We must crush it to dust and restore the prestige of our shrine."

"Let's go down the mountain now, we'll go down the mountain right now!"

A chorus of enthusiastic responses immediately erupted.

The Onmyoji were even more eager to rush down the mountain, their mouths constantly chanting tales of exorcising and cursing demons. The middle-aged man was also among them.

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of Kyoto.

The three of them gradually emerged from the dimly lit area, accompanied by strange noises, as if...

"A-Chiu, A-Chiu, A-Chiu........"

It was the little fox sneezing one after another.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Xia asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, the little guy looked up and gave a slight smile in return.

"It's alright, priestess. Maybe, maybe it was just a bit windy in the woods just now."

The three-tailed fox raised her hand and rubbed her little nose, then looked at the Onmyoji who already had the 'shadow of a god' in her eyes.

"Onmyoji, do you have any spells to stop sneezing? Aki, please help me. It's not that I feel terrible, but... but, Aki, I feel inexplicably irritable."

She pleaded somewhat pitifully.

Huang remained unfazed and calmly replied:

"I'm not an omniscient and omnipotent god, how could I possibly know everything?"

"And another thing, how to deal with sneezing? Do you think Onmyoji spends all their energy on these trivial matters?"

"Could it be that you've done something bad recently and someone's got their eye on you?"

At the same time, he also made sure to offer some subtle hints.

"No, no, I'm not one of those bad monsters."

The three-tailed fox reacted as if its tail had been stepped on, and it was so anxious it almost jumped up.

Furthermore, he kept glancing at Xia, clearly showing that he cared a lot about his image in her eyes.

But it was precisely because of this concern that she seemed to have thought of something, and her spirits visibly dampened again.

Because she did indeed do something very bad, even heinous, and unforgivable recently!

It means making the shrine maiden suffer in my place.

In the end, they even took it directly from the god's side.

"I'm sorry, big sister, I'm not a good boy, A-Qiu."

"If this is the punishment the gods have for me, then I am willing to accept it."

She lowered her head in self-reproach.

This scene made Xia feel very bad, even though it was her own choice to get close to the little fox.

Before she could offer any words of comfort, Huang raised his hand and roughly rubbed the little guy's head.

"What divine punishment?"

"You're just too active and playful, so you caught a cold. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"Even if a god wants to harm you, I will protect you."

"Because I'm your Onmyoji master."

The words that reached her ears swept away the little fox's dejection like a whirlwind.

"Thank you, Onmyoji Master, Akyuu."

She crashed headfirst into Huang's side.

"Oh, you child, you're still sneezing! You have snot in your nose!!"

One of the instigators quickly launched into a furious accusation.

But at this moment,

A strange, eerie laugh suddenly rang out from the darkness in the corner.

"Hehehe,"

"What a heartwarming scene."

"By mating with a shrine maiden, a three-tailed fox was born. So you're also a fox spirit. No wonder you have such an enviable appearance."

"So, you rushed off from Kyoto just to pick up your beloved shrine maiden?"

"Ah, what beautiful long hair!"

"It wasn't in vain that I waited here until late at night."

Along with the strange laughter came a nonsensical remark.

It was as if the person hiding in the shadows had some misunderstanding about the relationship between the three of them.

However, judging from this scene at first glance, it does indeed look like a family of three.

A bouncy little fox, a priestess with mobility issues being carried in a princess's arms, and a descendant of the Uchiha clan with naturally handsome features.

"Please, please put me down. I think I should be able to walk on my own now."

Xia's cheeks were slightly flushed. During this time, she still secretly glanced at the former's face, but remained calm and undisturbed.

This made her feel a little down.

"it is good."

Ara responded and put Kasumi down, while the little fox quickly came forward to help her shrine maiden sister up.

He was naturally aware that there was a spy lurking nearby.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, the other party was far too weak to warrant any attention.

Ara simply regarded it as a local spirit or a minor demon, and had no intention of causing trouble.

However, when the other party mentions that they are waiting for them, things become a little different.

His presence here was not accidental; rather, he had deliberately left a special kunai at the edge of Kyoto with the inscription of the Flying Thunder God Technique on it when he left.

This was so that no matter where Ara ended up, he could quickly return for the Genji festival ten days later.

But now that someone has deliberately followed his aura and found his way here, things have become a little different.

"So, are you going to come out on your own, or should I bury you here forever?"

He said coldly,

With a wave of his hand, chains of magical energy had already formed in the void.

Whether the opponent is a bound spirit, a monster, or a human, this [Word of Power - Bind] can imprison or even strangle them!

Chapter 787: The Contract Between Yan Yan and Luo Siblings, and the Cards Available for Reveal.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden clogs and a wisp of smoke rising, the person waiting here slowly revealed their figure.

She had fair skin as if it had been soaked in milk, and her face, made up with makeup, resembled that of a young lady from a noble family. Her long hair, tied up with a hairpin, almost reached the ground, and her delicate fingers held a long pipe. Her neatly manicured nails were adorned with a faint purple hue.

'call.'

Before his lips parted, several wisps of smoke rose again from his mouth.

Only by observing her bobbing Adam's apple and the slight exposure of her flat chest could one discern that she was not a rich heiress, but a handsome man who cherished his appearance immensely.

[A hair-eating demon!]

No wonder his aura was so weak.

As he watched the waiting figures come into view, Huang felt increasingly indifferent.

"Looking closely, you really are a rare handsome man."

The hair-eating demon naturally couldn't know what Huang was thinking. After exhaling a few wisps of turbid smoke, he completely ignored the threat posed by those magical chains. Instead, he carefully examined the person he was waiting for, using the energy radiance they emitted.

"However, he is still slightly inferior to that person."

"Indeed, in this vast Kyoto, only she possesses a beauty that completely surpasses mine."

After speaking, the man, who was confident in his handsome appearance, took another puff of the pipe he was holding, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

And soon the disappointment between his brows gradually widened, to the point that he frowned!

"And I really dislike your short hair."

"What a waste of such good looks."

"So it seems that even without mentioning that person, I am far superior to you."
