"Now that you've seen it, I'll take you back."
As the Mushishi gradually suppressed his excitement...
Huang Qingqing then spoke, his voice carrying a carefree, teasing tone.
After all, this little monster had just very respectfully prayed to go back, so it wouldn't be good to force it too much.
These words, spoken to her ears, instantly startled the young girl who had long been trapped in her cocoon and knew nothing of the wickedness of the world.
"Wait, wait a minute,"
"Please forgive my previous offense. If possible, please allow me to stay here a little longer."
"I...I want to..."
The Mushishi turned her face away in a panic, looking at the summoner's weak eyes with a clear, pitiful plea.
"What do you want to do?"
"If there are sufficient reasons, I can let you stay."
"But you just said you have a wish that you absolutely must fulfill, right?"
"If that's the case, I'll send you back."
Looking at the shy, flustered little demon in front of him, Huang frowned slightly, feigning nonchalance, completely unmoved by the pitiful appearance of the demon girl.
The Mushishi couldn't discern the true intentions behind the summoner's words.
I dare not make any unfounded speculations.
But she did clearly hear the other person's promise:
You can stay as long as you have a good reason.
He didn't know if his desire to pursue that beautiful great demon was a valid reason, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to make it public.
"Yes, esteemed Onmyoji."
After calming her inner turmoil somewhat, she looked directly at the human Onmyoji in front of her and gently parted her teeth:
"Because,"
"Because I want to see the demon master again..."
However, just as Huang was patiently coaxing the little girl to reveal her suppressed desire, a deep and gentle voice descended from the sky, interrupting her at this crucial moment.
“I remember you,”
"You look like the cocoon inside the shrine lantern, don't you?"
"I never imagined that so many years have passed, and you have transformed from a simple butterfly into a beautiful creature."
Ichimokuren's tone was filled with reminiscence and a sense of vicissitude.
After all, it's very difficult for a minor demon to transform into human form without accumulating power over a hundred years.
Such an initiative to strike up a conversation, such a triggering of memories, was absolutely unexpected by Mushishi.
This caused his body to tremble suddenly, and he immediately ignored the question from the Onmyoji in front of him.
"Yes,"
With a slight tremor of her eyelashes and a jumble of words, the Mushishi abruptly turned around and looked at the still beautiful, still unattainable youkai. The glistening tears in her eyes overflowed once more and slowly slid down her delicate and lovely cheeks.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me,"
"Master Youkai."
Although her eyes were filled with tears, a bright smile appeared on her face.
'whispering sound,'
'It was definitely intentional!'
Huang muttered something under his breath.
However, seeing the phantoms of the 'fire cage' and the 'butterfly' disappear together under the back of his right hand, he didn't bother to make a fuss.
Moreover, summoning the two little monsters associated with it will further solidify its decision to stay.
Swear allegiance to me.
After calming down the demons of the Ichimokuren lineage, Ara turned to the sea ninja who was kneeling on the ground and said something.
Now,
The Mad Demon has already been subdued, and without any further instructions, it is impossible for him to interfere with the former's thoughts.
"Yes,"
"I am willing to dedicate my life and soul entirely."
"Please use me as you see fit from now on, Master."
Hai Ren showed no disobedience or resistance and directly swore an oath as instructed.
This is the highest expectation of the Oni clan ninja: to be chosen by their employer, to forget their name and past, and to swear allegiance.
This belief is very similar to that of the Root ninjas trained by Danzo Shimura.
The instant he finished speaking, a slender, katana-like phantom suddenly appeared on the back of Huang's right hand and then disappeared.
The reason why the contract was not successfully concluded during the kneeling period was likely because this monster girl adhered to her family's belief that she was not qualified to form a contract with an employer before being chosen by them.
Even the lowest, most humble master-servant contract!
"Get up, from now on you will stay by my side."
Given the strength of this demon, who possesses exceptional stealth abilities, there's no reason for Ara not to make good use of it.
The reason why the opponent's [Shadow Stealth] technique appeared to have so many flaws was because the mad ghost's influence prevented them from achieving mental unity.
"Yes,"
"Please, Master, bestow a name upon me."
After standing up, she spoke again respectfully.
This is the most basic code of conduct for the Oni clan: abandoning the old name and being given a new one means drawing a line between oneself and everything in the past, and having no further connection with it.
"Need not,"
"Let's use the name you suggested."
Ara didn't care about such an old-fashioned form. In fact, he had other desires for his shikigami and wouldn't interfere.
Well, except for that big monk who immediately tries to persuade you to believe in Buddhism, and that evil spirit whose whole body is stained with the blood of innocent people.
However, the Oni clan to which the Sea Ninja belong is an exception.
Their faith was as strong as Kaguya Kimimaro's conviction.
Allowing things to go unchecked might actually make those who entered into the contracts wonder if there's something wrong with them.
"Yes."
Hai Ren's response was cold and indifferent.
These are all external things.
The only thing that could bring it a sliver of joy was when it was completing a task for its master.
"Also, regarding the problem with your left eye, and the changes that occurred within your organization..."
Although the girl in front of him didn't mention it, as her Onmyoji, Ara felt he still had to make things clear.
After all, the Mad Ghost is equivalent to the enemy who wiped out his clan. Now he still allows such a being to reside in his right eye, even if it is in the form of a support attribute. However, its identity is still too special and sensitive.
Such a question caused Hai Ren's mind to freeze for a moment, and a slight ripple appeared in her calm eyes.
She was concerned about her powerful and young master and didn't know how to respond.
Since the ninja training they received did not teach them how to deal with the energy released by their master, this should be considered a benevolent act.
"Please don't worry about it, Master."
“Now that you have chosen to accept my allegiance, it means that I have severed all ties with the past.”
"Since this monster can replace my lost arm and amplify my power to some extent."
"Then I am willing to accept it and work with it to serve you."
After a moment's thought, Hai Ren organized his thoughts.
And seemingly wanting to completely dispel the concern of the onmyoji before her, she added:
"The world of monsters is a dog-eat-dog world. The fact that our organization was attacked and destroyed by a mere bewitching monster means that our abilities are not enough."
"Even if they barely survive,"
"Then when we encounter other, stronger monsters in the future, the result will likely be the same."
"This is our own problem, and it is also the fate of the weak."
"Please don't worry about it, Master."
Hai Ren's voice was calm; there was truly no trace of hatred or resentment in it.
Some people hold the extreme belief that "the winner takes all, the loser is condemned."
"Since that's what you think, then so be it."
Huang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
The yokai girl, having received a response, bowed slightly and then disappeared from the sight of ordinary people.
but,
As the contractor, Huang was able to clearly sense that the other party was right beside him.
Like a shadow.
"surrender!"
"I choose to surrender!!"
A rough roar rose from the ground, and looking in the direction of the sound, one could see the Yaksha being suppressed on the ground by the black and gold Buddhist light.
