Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Yukihime nodded.

She took off her white trench coat, revealing a bulging white knit sweater and black tights.

"You have to come!"

Yuki gave a reminder, tossed the ball into the air, and then leaped up, reaching out to hit the ball.

"nice shot!"

Haruhiko felt a momentary dizziness, as if he saw three volleyballs.

It was probably because the speed was too fast that it created afterimages.

He gasped, reacted quickly, and caught the volleyball.

The two chatted back and forth, enjoying themselves immensely.

As a fourth-tier great demon, Yukihime's physical abilities far surpass those of professional athletes.

Under her control, the volleyball never touched the ground.

Half an hour later, Haruhiko waved his hand, ending the volleyball match.

Yuki stepped forward, reached out, and covered his forehead.

The psionic energy transformed into cold air, rapidly lowering the temperature of the surrounding area.

Haruhiko immediately showed a satisfied expression.

really not bad.

Who could resist such a beautiful refrigerator?

"How are you? Can you still walk?"

Yukihime smiled, revealing her teeth, and asked.

She exercised for half an hour without showing any signs of being out of breath.

Apart from her slightly messy silver hair.

"of course can!"

Haruhiko answered immediately.

Yuki put on her trench coat again, took his hand, and walked outside.

Once on the street, the two wandered aimlessly.

"Anyone interested in buying?"

Haruhiko stopped at a jewelry store and said, "I haven't given you a gift yet."

"No need, I've already received the gift."

Xue Ji smiled, looked at the butterfly ring and the empty storage ring on his hand, and said, "I do have a gift for you."

"What is it?"

Haruhiko asked instinctively.

"ring."

Yuki took his left hand, gently stroked his ring finger, and said, "A ring is still missing here."

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

The ring finger on the left hand is usually worn with a wedding ring.

He looked at Yukihime, unsure of what to say.

Yuki took out a ring.

It is entirely white, like ice crystals, with a faint purplish-red accent in the center.

Yukihime put it on his ring finger and nodded in satisfaction.

[Name: The Snow Woman's Ring]

Status: Sealed.

[Rank: Fifth Rank]

[Effect: Unknown.]

[Note: This is an ancestral ring of the Yuki-onna clan, possessing mysterious functions. It can be unlocked once Yuki-onna's revenge is completed.]

The game notification sound caught Haruhiko's eye.

A fifth-tier spirit tool, absolutely a good thing.

The problem is that the conditions for lifting the lockdown are quite difficult.

It may take until Haruhiko reaches the fifth stage to complete it.

Although it cannot be used, it still represents Yukihime's feelings.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko rotated his left hand and said, "It's beautiful."

Yukihime immediately revealed a gentle smile.

As dusk fell, the two returned home.

I'm quite tired after walking all afternoon.

But as long as Yukihime is happy.

As Haruhiko lay on the soft sofa, his phone vibrated.

It was Tachibana Yui's phone call.

“Mari and I caught that fourth-tier boy today.”

Tachibana Yui said in a rather solemn tone, "He is indeed a divine messenger."

"went well?"

Haruhiko asked with concern, "You and Mari-neechan, are you alright?"

"We're all at the fifth rank, how could we be injured?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Yui felt a warmth in her heart, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked in return.

The somber atmosphere vanished instantly.

"That's good."

Haruhiko asked with a smile, "Did you find anything?"

"I've gained a lot."

Tachibana Yui sighed and said, "And it's beyond our expectations."

"Can you tell me?"

Haruhiko asked with some curiosity.

"Just don't tell anyone."

Without hesitation, Tachibana Yui said directly, "That fourth-tier boy is named Morikawa Teru, and he is the apprentice of Kaneda Yu, the director of the Edo Archaeological Bureau."

"Apprentice? Why didn't the Edo Archaeological Bureau recognize him?"

Haruhiko asked, quite puzzled.

"He was a disciple I secretly took in."

Tachibana Yui explained.

"So, the Edo Archaeological Bureau might have become the second Serpent Spirit?"

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth, his face expressionless.

"Possible, but not certain."

Tachibana Yui said in a deep voice, "Morikawa Teru was already a divine messenger before he met Kaneda Yu, and he lived for 223 years."

Four thousand words, first and second updates.

Chapter 139. Are you feeling smug?

More than two hundred years old?

Haruhiko initially thought that Morikawa Teru was a newly transformed divine messenger, but he didn't expect it to have been so long.

This means that his previous guess was wrong.

The serpent spirit's infiltration might be even more terrifying than he imagined.

Even if the head of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, Kaneda Yu, had no connection with the Serpent Spirit, the fact that Morikawa Teru could become his apprentice speaks volumes.

The ruins of Takamagahara are very complex.
