Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

That feeling of being a scumbag has returned.

Mari Tsuchimikado's lips curled slightly as she started the red sedan.

After returning to the entrance, the two walked into the valley.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro is still conducting research.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a god's tooth.

Haruhiko estimated that it would be impossible to finish in one or two days.

Fortunately, his senior, Kaoru Aizawa, is the president of the University of Tokyo.

It doesn't matter how long you take leave.

Faced with this sacred place of cultivation, Haruhiko was naturally unwilling to leave.

He sat down on the giant tooth again and began cultivating the Fisherman's Song Night Fire.

Before you know it, it's the weekend.

Haruhiko's Fisherman's Song Night Fire has finally broken through to the third stage.

Meanwhile, the valley became lively.

A group of people were cultivating within a barrier set up by the river.

Most of them were Tsuchimikado Mashiro's confidants, totaling forty-six people.

The remaining twenty people were from the Utsunomiya clan.

It was Mina Utsunomiya who chose her.

It's worth mentioning that they were all women.

Haruhiko suspected that she did it on purpose.

But after looking at the list of personnel, I understood the reason.

They are professionals trained in Kabukicho.

Of course, nowadays he mainly performs for money.

Mina Utsunomiya summoned them to accelerate their training in illusion techniques.

Haruhiko thought about it and thought it was a good idea.

A group of psionicists specializing in illusion magic.

It is still very useful as long as you don't encounter a high-level psionicist.

Moreover, among those of the same level, illusionists actually have a significant advantage.

After all, it's impossible to guard against everything.

"Congratulations."

Tsuchimikado Mari smiled and licked her lips, saying, "I'll give you a reward tonight."

Haruhiko immediately became excited.

The long-awaited event has finally arrived.

The only downside is that there are still several hours until nightfall.

It's quite tough.

Haruhiko could only continue his cultivation.

But it's no longer the Fisherman's Song and Night Fireworks, but the Snow Woman's Breathing Technique.

The former only allows him to control his body temperature freely, while the latter comprehensively enhances his body.

If the third stage weren't a mandatory requirement, Haruhiko would definitely prioritize practicing the Yuki-onna Breathing Technique.

Tsuchimikado Mari turned her head and saw Tsuchimikado Mashiro, who was puffing up her cheeks.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, and just as she was about to say something, she looked away.

Just then, her phone vibrated slightly.

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at it and immediately raised an eyebrow.

She left the riverbed and came to the entrance.

"Xue Ji."

Looking at the familiar figure, Tsuchimikado Mari asked calmly, "What is it?"

"Meet Haruhiko."

Yukihime was somewhat annoyed by being stopped by Tsuchimikado Ayaka, so her expression was cold.

She hadn't touched Haruhiko for almost a week, and couldn't resist coming over.

Mari Tsuchimikado frowned.

Her attitude towards Yukihime was neither warm nor cold.

I won't offend them, nor will I make friends with them.

The reason she frowned was that if Yukihime arrived, she would have no chance that night.

What a hassle.

However, if Yukihime is not allowed to enter, it will undoubtedly create a rift between her and Haruhiko.

This is something she doesn't want to see.

After all, she prefers intimacy.

"follow me."

Mari Tsuchimikado ultimately made a compromise.

She wouldn't care if it were someone else.

But Haruhiko is different.

Having lived for over a thousand years, it's rare to meet someone you like, so you should make do.

Tsuchimikado Mari turned around and returned to the valley.

Yuki looked around, somewhat surprised.

Haruhiko had told her about it before, but experiencing it firsthand, she could truly feel the benefits of this place.

At that moment, she suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps we should stay here a few more days.

While taking care of Haruhiko, he can also help her cultivate.

Perhaps it won't be long before I can advance to the fifth rank.

Then she won't have to worry about people like Tsuchimikado Mari competing with her for Haruhiko.

"He is practicing cultivation."

Tsuchimikado Mari pointed to the bottom of the river and said, "Wait a bit."

Yukihime nodded slightly.

We've already met, so there's no rush.

After all, it's not a good time to vent too much longing.

Let’s talk about it tonight.

Not long after, Haruhiko noticed Yukihime.

Practicing the Snow Woman Breathing Technique does not require closing your eyes and entering a meditative state like in Fisherman's Song Night Fire.

After a slight surprise, he immediately got up and went to the shore.

No words are needed.

Nephrite is in my arms.

The two kissed.

Tsuchimikado Mari pouted.

He's so brazen; she'll definitely punish him properly next time.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro, on the contrary, seemed to be gloating.

Previously, Tsuchimikado Mari had always annoyed her, and now she was getting the same taste of it.

But soon she felt a bitter taste in her mouth, unsure of what she was feeling.

Chapter 201: Ice and Fire

After a long while, the two parted ways.
