"So, do whatever you want."
"Since Yao-hime has chosen to believe you, then I will undoubtedly choose to believe you as well."
These words touched Huang somewhat.
This was support from a father, and at the same time, a question that had previously surfaced in his mind also arose, prompting him to pause and speak out:
"Actually, I also have a question I'd like to ask the General."
Chapter 618 Time Melody and Cloud Mirror, which one do you want?
"The Sun Wheel Pavilion is just ahead. When we see Her Majesty the Queen, please..."
"No, nothing."
After traversing the streets and alleys of Sunwheel City and seeing a palace standing in the darkness in the distance, Yao Ji, who had been silent all the way, finally couldn't suppress her emotions and wanted to say something.
But when he met the latter's calm eyes, the words he was about to utter were swallowed back down.
Because she knew perfectly well that no matter what she said or warned, this young Onmyoji from another land would act according to her own will and desires.
Just like when the other person was facing their own father.
In addition, the bright lights and peaceful atmosphere along the way were also one of the reasons why Yao Ji stopped the conversation.
After all, how could they stand by and watch their homeland fall into eternal darkness?
Moreover, no matter how much she denied or resisted, asking Her Majesty the Queen to cancel the wedding was indeed the best way to avoid disaster.
My father must have agreed with this, which is why he hadn't said a word before.
"Leave the rest to me."
"You don't need to say anything; you can just continue to stick to your own ideas."
"Well, consider it my way of repaying your trust."
Huang continued speaking on his own, continuing what Yao Ji hadn't said aloud.
As he followed the woman, he clearly discerned from the eyes, expressions, and words of the passing residents the respect and love these original inhabitants had for Princess Yo and Queen Himiko.
Therefore, they are very empathetic and understanding of the other person's inner struggles.
So I'll play the villain from here on out, as a necessary price to pay for obtaining the divine artifact, the Cloud Mirror.
Of course, during the journey, Huang still activated the secret technique "Mirror of Still Water," making him invisible to ordinary people.
After all, there had been some conflicts with the garrison of Sunwheel City earlier, and this was to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
"Thank you."
Hearing the response from the Onmyoji she had just met today, Yao Ji was momentarily speechless. After a brief silence, she could only express her emotions with these pale and concise words.
"Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe in the end I'll be the one thanking you."
"Don't forget, you promised to save me."
"What if I accidentally fall into the cycle of reincarnation?"
Huang said in a very serious tone.
Although he described the outcome as terrifying, Yu Zhi did not show any obvious signs of lingering fear on his face.
After all, compared to the Yamata no Orochi sealed in the narrow passage, he had a more direct trump card.
That trump card resides in my chest and heart, and the burning sensation that I've gradually grown accustomed to constantly reminds me to work hard and become stronger faster.
just,
Once this trump card is revealed, Sunwheel Castle, Takamagahara, and themselves will all find it difficult to bear the consequences of the other's emergence.
"I swear."
Compared to Ara, who seemed somewhat indifferent, Yohime appeared much more serious.
After all, she always felt a genuine sense of guilt for dragging a newly acquainted Onmyoji into an event that required facing divine punishment.
Therefore, the necessary and not excessive agreements mentioned in the former are taken very seriously.
Faced with Yao Ji's serious response, Ara seemed somewhat at a loss.
In fact, he immediately wanted to reveal his ulterior motive of obtaining the [Cloud Mirror].
But he ultimately suppressed this impulse, and all his emotions were reduced to a simple sentence:
"Let's go".
If there are opportunities to cooperate or meet again in the future, I'll find another chance to make it up to them.
After withdrawing his gaze from the resolute eye contact with the former, Huang silently thought to himself.
"You may all leave now. I wish to speak with Her Majesty tonight."
"So, it's enough that I'm here to protect this place."
Upon arriving at the Sun Wheel Pavilion, Yao Ji had already suppressed most of her emotions and calmly addressed the soldiers guarding the place.
"Yes, Lady Youhime."
"Then I'll leave the night to Lady Youhime."
Upon hearing this, the guards of Sunwheel City who were stationed there did not suspect him. After exchanging glances, they quickly gave their consent.
Because they were all very familiar with the sisterly relationship between Lady Himiko and Lady Yohime, who had stayed overnight in the past as well.
Most importantly, Her Majesty the Queen will be getting married in two days. Due to her increased status, these two, who are like sisters, may find it difficult to have such intimate time alone together again.
It is understandable that Lady Yohime has such a wish now.
"polite."
Yao Ji nodded gently to the soldiers who were retreating from her side. Whether it was because it was getting dark or because of the comforting words of the Onmyoji beside her, there was no sign of anything amiss on her face.
As for Ara, who used the [Mirror Flower Water Moon] secret technique, he was naturally still not taken seriously.
Or rather, within this city, only Yao Ji and the Queen of Sun Wheel City could truly discover its existence; even the current Great General could not.
Entering the Sun Wheel Pavilion, stepping over the towering vermilion torii gate, passing through a wide training ground, and continuing up the clearly defined stone steps to a square-shaped high platform, a magnificent palace officially comes into view in the wilderness.
At the same time, he could also sense a blazing, grand aura from the depths of the palace, an aura completely opposite to that of Yao Ji, who was practicing the mysteries of the moon.
Without a doubt, the owner of that aura must be Her Highness the Queen of this ancient land of the sun.
Furthermore, Ara also sensed a feeling of being explored.
Clearly, Her Highness the Queen, who was beloved by the residents of Sunwheel City, had also vaguely sensed my presence, but due to the distance and the secret technique, she did not seem to have made a direct conclusion yet.
Instead, he simply canceled the maintenance of the [Clear Mirror Still Water] secret technique, openly revealing himself on the high platform he was standing on, and began to examine his surroundings.
There stood a colossal statue, its surface gilded, its size exaggerated, and its crown resembling a lotus flower, firmly positioned directly in front of him. Even in the dim light, its grandeur was palpable.
Is this the symbol of the sun god?
It seems that no era or dimension can escape the rule that gods and Buddhas need to be adorned in gold.
No respect rose in Huang's eyes, only a fleeting hint of mockery.
This reminded him of the time he was turned away by the monks of the Fire Temple.
After pausing briefly and letting Yao Ji take a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Huang continued to follow her toward the main hall in their field of vision.
For this final stretch, Yao Ji did not stop. The sound of her boots striking the palace stone slabs was exceptionally clear, echoing deeper and deeper into the inner palace.
After passing the front hall, which was neither too long nor too short,
As the view and light brightened, a magnificent woman in a white wedding dress came into view. Without a doubt, she was Himiko, the queen of this Sun Wheel City.
For this ancient city, white symbolizes the rays of the sun.
"You've come, my lovely Yo-hime."
"Come and see my wedding dress for the day after tomorrow, what do you think?"
The woman who was concerned about the arrival seemed very happy, and her voice was unusually cheerful. She even elegantly lifted her skirt and twirled around on the spot, completely lacking the haughty and unapproachable demeanor of an ancient city queen. She was more like an ordinary girl immersed in joy and happiness.
Seeing the Queen spinning around in circles with such joy, Yao Ji couldn't help but force a somewhat stiff smile onto her face, which was showing signs of deep thought.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
You are beautiful now, and you will always be.
"Lord Wan Deng..."
Yao Ji lavished praise on Yao Ji, and her originally somber and stiff mood and voice became much lighter under the influence of Yao Ji's joyful emotions.
However, when she mentioned the Queen's beloved, her fluent speech was involuntarily interrupted by a brief pause.
"I believe Lord Wan Deng will like it very much."
However, Yao Ji continued to say what she hadn't finished speaking, but she lost the emotions she had just been able to muster.
He originally wanted to be frank with the woman directly, but after seeing the Queen in her wedding dress, immersed in joy, all his previous determination and decisions were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
After all, how could she bear to break the bond and prevent the person she respected most from finding happiness?
"Yeah,"
"Would Wan Deng really like him?"
Himiko paid no attention to Yohime's fluctuating emotions and words. Instead, she was immersed in the fantasy created around her, just like a little girl. A shy blush appeared on her gentle and noble face.
She must be really looking forward to her wedding the day after tomorrow.
That's why she subconsciously rejects all potentially bad things. For example, the complex expression on Yao Ji's face, and the fact that there was still a breathing outsider in the palace.
"Your Majesty, I've actually come today to report something to you..."
Looking at Queen Sun, who was immersed in happiness and dreams, even though Yao Ji had so much she couldn't bear to part with, she still spoke up. Her clear, bright eyes were like the bright moon hanging in the night sky, impossible to ignore.
"Let's not talk about anything else these days, just spend time with me, okay?"
Himiko abruptly interrupted the words of her ministers, but a hint of resistance and struggle flickered in her suddenly flustered eyes.
However, she quickly suppressed and hid these emotions with an even stronger will and emotion, and her expression gradually returned to calm, as did her continued speech.
"I have so many things I want to tell you."
