In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

Upon hearing Ian's words, Tamamo-no-Mae looked at what he was holding.

"...prayer beads?"

This is something monks often use—a string of beads.

They use the turning of prayer beads to symbolize reincarnation.

Some virtuous monks can even use it to subdue demons and monsters.

"Mr. Abe, what do you want to use it for?" Tamamo-no-Mae asked in confusion.

Ian shook his head.

"Xiaoyu, this isn't for me, it's for you."

"For me?"

"Ah."

Ian brought the rosary to Tamamo-no-Mae's lips, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"Xiaoyu, lick it."

"..."

Although she didn't understand Ian's meaning, Tamamo-no-Mae still held all the prayer beads in her mouth like she was holding a bunch of grapes.

Only after all the prayer beads were fully moistened did the fox demon slowly reveal them.

Looking at the wet rosary in Ian's hand, Tamamo-no-Mae felt a little ashamed.

"Mr. Abe, this is going to..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'll tell you now."

Ian leaned the rosary against another of the fox demon's treasures.

The prayer beads, with their silvery sheen, began to rub against the surface of the treasure under the guidance of the great Onmyoji.

This caused Tamamo-no-Mae to blush again.

Ian's voice rang out once again at that moment.

"Xiaoyu, if you can't stand it later, tell me."

He gently kissed Tamamo-no-Mae's cheek, then gently pressed the first rosary bead into the treasure.

The asterisk-shaped treasure was gradually stretched open, transforming into the shape of a dot.

"Migu!"

Tamamo-no-Mae gripped the tatami mat beside her tightly, and her two furry ears shook violently as she pushed the prayer beads.

Seeing this, Ian stopped for the time being.

"Xiaoyu, is it that you can't take it anymore?"

"That's not true!" Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head repeatedly. "If it's just one, I'm fine with it!"

"More than one."

Ian's fingers gently rubbed the end of the rosary string.

"They all have to go in."

"Eh?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's pupils suddenly grew several times larger.

Her body began to tremble.

But the fox demon nodded: "I understand."

"Xiaoyu, aren't you scared?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Tamamo-no-Mae looked up at Ian, her golden eyes filled with longing.

"I have said that I would seduce Mr. Abe."

"so--"

"I am not afraid of these prayer beads."

"Hmm... I understand what you're thinking, Xiaoyu."

One by one, the prayer beads entered another of Tamamo-no-Mae's treasures.

The original "¤" gradually turned into the shape of "○".

Finally, the last rosary bead went inside.

Ian wiped away Tamamo-no-Mae's tears.

"Xiaoyu, does it hurt a lot?"

"Yes." Tamamo-no-Mae nodded. "And it feels quite swollen."

"That place... I really shouldn't have crammed so much stuff in there, right?"

"However, if Mr. Abe is pleased, I will do my best to accept it."

"This isn't to make me happy, Xiaoyu."

Ian took Tamamo-no-Mae's hand and let her touch the end of the rope that was still sticking out of the treasure.

“Xiaoyu, these prayer beads represent the suffering you’ve endured; they’ve already done enough.”

"so--"

"From now on, it's time for you to enjoy happiness."

"Xiaoyu, pull it out."

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded.

"My concubine understands."

The surface of the rosary rubs against the inner wall of the treasure, creating a warm and cozy feeling.

This caused the original treasure to react as well.

This was the first time Tamamo-no-Mae had felt this reaction without the influence of Ian's hand.

"○" type;

"¤" type;

"*"type.

The treasure was gradually restored to its original state.

The moment the rosary, a symbol of suffering, left Tamamo-no-Mae's body, she bent over into the shape of an arched bridge.

Beautiful sprays of water gushed from the original treasure, splashing onto the window and shattering into pieces.

Tamamo-no-Mae's legs went weak, and she fell into the arms of the Great Onmyoji.

"Xiaoyu's performance today was perfect."

Ian gently stroked Tamamo-no-Mae's hair, his expression somewhat complicated.

"pity--"

"The problem is still not solved."

"I can't even deal with the formation."

“Well, Mr. Abe… if the situation inside Heian-gu is as you described, I do have a small idea.”

Tamamo-no-Mae looked up at the Great Onmyoji.

"That formation might be related to my mirror."

148. Tamamo-no-Mae, filled with trepidation (4,000-word chapter)

"..."

Ian was not surprised by Tamamo-no-Mae's answer.

After all, the initial vow he made with her was based on this precious mirror that she had accidentally lost during her escape.

However, it seems that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

The mirror in front of Tamamo-no-Mae may not have been lost by accident at all.

Instead, it was the Onmyoji hiding behind Fujiwara no Tokuko who did some things that were unknown to others.

However, let's ask first.

"Xiaoyu, if I understand you correctly, you mean the Yin-Yang array in Heian Palace is related to the mirror you lost before, right?"

"Mm." Tamamo-no-Mae nodded.

“My mirror has the ability to communicate with Yin and Yang.”

"but--"

"Generally speaking, only I am capable of achieving such an effect. How did that great Onmyoji manage to do it... I might have to see it for myself."

"..."

Ian nodded.

"I understand."

"Xiaoyu, let's go take a look tomorrow."

"have a look?"

Tamamo-no-Mae blinked her golden eyes, her expression showing some surprise.

"Yes, since Xiaoyu says you want to go and see for yourself, then let's go and take a look."
