Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

"No, this is so cool, it's exactly how I imagined you guys."

The shrine maiden said something that left them somewhat puzzled.

But on second thought, it's true that this situation is quite common for Yingzhou.

Not to mention distant examples, the probability of a priestess who serves the gods having descendants with spiritual talents is far greater than that of ordinary people. Some small families also obtain special talents that can be inherited through inbreeding.

These are all traceable; Genji simply shifted his focus from the gods he worshipped to the demons and spirits that plagued the land.

As for the idea of ​​enemies and allies sharing the same origin, that's even more classic. The Minamoto clan itself fought countless times internally. Minamoto no Yoritomo even killed his cousin Minamoto no Yoshinaka before establishing the shogunate.

"So the conflict between you was because Minamoto no Yorimitsu killed you? Even though you were both yokai?"

"Not only that, Ibuki and Ushi Gozen are of the same bloodline, so it wouldn't be wrong to call them sisters."

Momiji added a sentence for the shrine.

"Moreover, what is called a contradiction is actually a very strange mentality. Although Ibuki cares about her sister, she sees Ushi Gozen's behavior as an intolerable betrayal."

Faced with Qu Qi's repeated attacks, Yuan Qu Qi finally spoke.

"This is because you've taken lives... You must go and punish you..."

Whether as the human Minamoto no Ibuki or the yokai Ushi no Gohou, she is equally indecisive and long-winded. Her only decisive moment was when she killed Shuten-dōji.

"You consider yourself human, so slaying demons and monsters is righteous to you. This will make you completely transform into a demon, experience what it's like to be hunted down by your own father and those who were once close to you, and become a demon."

"Since it's a betrayal, it must be retaliated against in the same way, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Ushi-go-go has a way of answering: As a human being, Minamoto no Ibuki, your hatred for Yorimitsu is merely a duty. It ruined your life and brought you endless joy, which is something that cannot be forgiven.

But as a demon, the Ugly Queen cannot. Perhaps it is because the more you lack something, the more you care about it. The kinship that the Genji and those families have neglected is something that a little demon like you longs for.

Jingu's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them.

"Don't listen to Lai Guang's harsh words. In the end, he still wants to kill you and make you die from exhaustion of your lifespan. That's why he tries to lure you into becoming a demon."

Yorimitsu took a sip of wine to calm himself down. As for the matter of Ushi-no-go-ko going to help the Genji, you are the one who can accept it the most.

Therefore, the Ugly Empress Dowager knows how to face the blood sister she almost killed, who now ruins your life in order to take revenge on you.

Ugly Queen shook her head, indicating that it was not Raikou who reported her, but rather she herself who denounced herself.

"Fight him in private. That way you can fulfill your promise to your father and also truly interfere in his war with the Genji."

"Even if it's just betrayal, you will experience the same feeling. Before becoming a monster, did you ever feel that some of the things you did as a human were sinful?"

Facing that twisted pair

As an observer and an insider, Hongye, one of the sisters, saw things very clearly.

Jingu's fingertips caressed the wine bowl, seemingly undeterred by the ugly queen's suggestion.

Yuan Quqi stretched out his hand towards the shrine.

As a result, he drank the poisoned wine of his own sister and was then beheaded. Who wouldn't be angry?

Lai Guangmian changed his expression and refuted Hongye's words, touching his neck and finding no pain in his wound.

"How laughable! Even if we're talking about how humans kill people more slowly and with more compassion than you demons, what about the demon himself? Does he regret that he could have completely killed the little demon Shuten-dōji with that one strike? Or does he regret that he should have drawn his sword against his own sister?"

"But that guy was so stupid that he was beyond redemption. Even now, he has managed to completely shed his identity as a Genji, and he was swayed by a few words to help these guys."

The bad thing is that Ima spent so little time and effort turning the former demon-slaying hero Minamoto no Ibuki into the demon Ushi-go-go, but you still haven't shaken off the original influence.

Lai Guang pressed himself almost against Minamoto no Tsuki's face to show you the wound on his neck, a wound left by the famous sword "Hakugi Yasutsuna" that could not be completely healed even after hundreds of years.

As a human, it is your duty to slay demons.

"Nonsense! Why would you care about a mere blood connection?"

You thought that Minamoto no Mitsunaka was just an ordinary person who would die after living for a hundred years, and that he had no great achievements to worship. But inexplicably, he was left behind as a statue of Mitsunaka enshrined outside the Shonda-in Temple.

There is a conflict between the law of law and the law of law, which stands on the side of humanity, and the law of law, which accepts the concept of being a demon. This vacillation is inevitable.

What a mistake.

It's safe to say that Minamoto no Ibuki's later life was without regrets, yet still quite fulfilling; but the story before that was just like that.

Indeed, imagine yourself as Ibuki, enjoying hot pot and singing in Oeyama, when someone arrives. Upon closer inspection, you realize it's your sister who shares the same bloodline. Overjoyed, you let your guard down.

The conflict and the joy are the revenge that Qu Qi brings you. The two of you will experience the same joy, the joy of hating each other but being able to truly take revenge.

"What is Raikou thinking? He specifically summoned you here, does he want you to keep Ugly Queen as your concubine after the war?"

"You're just pure anger, so you're the one who's happy that guy will live his life as a human, as a hero. You should let him experience that kind of trouble and joy too."

And this sword, in the hands of Minamoto no Ibuki, became famous and was known as "Dojigiri Yasutsuna".

The intense gaze was fixed on the Ugly Queen, and behind those words, the Ugly Queen, who had never clashed with Raikou, seemed to feel no remorse.

"Tsk, we should have found a way to kill Minamoto no Manaka back then, otherwise his ghost would still be scattered to this day."

In Ushigo's own view, it was a way to have the best of both worlds: it fulfilled her responsibility as Minamoto no Ibuki, but it would hurt the feelings of the others.

"You have the option of refusing your father's request, or you have the option of betraying your friend, so you have no choice but to do it."

"Yes, it was you who brought it up yourself, suggesting that you tell Jingu about it."

Lai Guang spat, feeling quite disgusted.

"Once the bloodline of the Genji is activated, they will die earlier than ordinary people, and the evil and ugly queen is more like a demon than a human. It is indeed a very serious matter."

"You induced the suppressed bloodline within you to become active, and the young general Minamoto no Ibuki, who was famous throughout Kyoto, turned into a demon in front of his own confidants. Your beloved general's sharp sword was turned against you. That was your worst revenge."

I forgot to update tonight, sorry, I'm a bit drowsy.

Chapter 179 Just Kill Me

Seeing that the shrine maiden remained silent, Ushi-Gozen grew somewhat anxious.

"What are you hesitating about, Shrine? Let's just treat this as a private sparring match. What's there to worry about?"

Caught between two opposing stances, the restless Ugly Gozen threw out a sake bowl, only to have it caught lightly by the Shrine Maiden.

"I have no intention of resolving this privately with you. Since you're stuck in this situation and can't make a choice, let's resolve this matter openly and honestly."

Jingu put down the sake bowl and glanced at Ushi-Gozen.

"Since you can't make a choice, let me make the choice for you. That's my duty as a friend."

"What do you mean?"

Ushi-Gozen had a bad feeling; she sensed that Jingu's words had a hidden meaning.

"Hehe, since you're swayed by past friendships, then when I turn around and wipe out all those Genji people, there won't be anyone you're close to or familiar with anymore, right?"

"Is that Man Zhonggong? I'll remember that name. I'll make sure to get rid of him when the time comes."

With a casual turn, Jingu removed Ibuki's neck ring, concealing the scar beneath her neck.

After calming down from her initial excitement, Ushi-Gozen sat down again, agreeing with Jingu's words and responding bitterly.

"Anyway, they're going to die anyway, so they can just keep fighting."

How should I deal with this?

Liang Tao was puzzled. Could it be that the Divine Palace had become a void? Or what happened?

The thought of not having any hatred between Ogasawara Yoriko and you makes Jingu feel even more troubled. It's scary not to have any hatred, but it's scary that for various reasons there is no way to take revenge, or that the person seeking revenge is already dead.

Was it Ibuki or Momiji again? Whether it was Guo or Guan, your hopes of revenge are slim.

"That's strange, why is that guy thinking of getting you all drunk before making a move on you?"

"Perhaps nothing's wrong. You should go back now."

"The little family is all stupid. Ibuki, does he really have no ulterior motives? You can judge the worst that could happen to him."

Momiji also stood up, preparing to leave, and said goodbye to Ibuki.

The shrine had no interest in interfering. For the former empress, the most important thing is not to be biased, but to maintain a balance.

"It's death, but it hurts! It's burning hot!"

Jingu stood up, walked behind the ugly queen, and then hooked his finger to pick up the neck ring that Liang Tao had removed.

The bitterness is always left until the seventh day; today's grudges cannot be buried tomorrow.

Before everyone else left, only Ibuki and Ushio Gogo, those two sisters with a complicated but simple relationship, remained outside.

Jingu's fingertips traced the wound on Ibuki's neck, leaving a few drops of blood.

"Stop being sarcastic and mocking!"

"I know, I know. By the way, is he planning to treat the Ugly Empress as an enemy before even leaving the battlefield, and then weaken you beforehand without any pressure?"

"What is he looking at? Slow down! You're going to be burned to death!"

Upon hearing this, Ushi Gozen immediately stood up, while Ibuki, standing next to her, paused for a moment before a smile appeared on her lips.

Jingu returned to the shrine, and I had nothing to do with myself.

After saying that, he left without caring about Ibuki's expression.

"Sigh, you help him address the Ugly Empress's concerns."

Cut them all off; he'll have to remember to repay you.

Liang Tao, feeling a bit annoyed, stepped forward and reached out to grab the necklace from Shen Gong's hand, but Shen Gong dodged him.

Hatred between people

"Now that you've finished talking, you can leave. Today you'll be drinking with them."

By the way, who killed Ogasawara Yoriko's father?

Ugly Queen stood up and looked at Ibuki.

Everyone is free from their own worries and demands, and no one has their own predicaments. As long as they are like free spirits, how could they not have some problems?

But hey, your Fire Rat Fur! If you still had the Fire Rat Fur, how could things have turned out like that?
