It was a girl dressed as a shrine maiden. Looking at the five hundred gold coins, she spoke very politely.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's me."

Wu Baijin was very excited. The shrine maiden opposite her said, "Alright, then please come with me. Lord Kuji is waiting for you inside."

With that, the man turned and left. Wu Baijin, on the other hand, jumped up, smoothed the hair on his forehead, and then smugly went inside.

"Holy crap! Aren't you afraid of danger? Hey! Wait for me!"

Following the shrine maiden, Goubaijin and the others continued forward until they arrived at Narukami Shrine. There, Goubaijin immediately spotted the enormous sacred cherry tree.

In that instant, Wu Baijin felt as if he were being watched by a fox. Yes, the divine cherry tree looked like a fox, a real fox that seemed to possess a spirit.

Standing under the tree was a person, a woman, with her back to them. After they came up behind them and the witch stepped down, the person spoke.

"Hey, little guy, we meet again."

Wu Baijin shuddered. The sound was like a maggot clinging to his bones, so alluring that Wu Baijin almost lost his soul in that instant.

And Wu Baijin, with his eyes sparkling like hearts, just flew up. Seriously, just imagine, a fat raccoon dog, just like that, flying, flying up, eyes sparkling like hearts, drool dripping from its mouth, flying over there.

"Hey! Master! Calm down! Calm down!"

Wu Baijin also realized what was happening, clenched his fist and straightened his body, "Yes, yes, yes! Calm down! Calm down."

But the next second, the woman turned around. Wu Baijin saw her: long, snow-white legs, a stunning figure, pink hair, and an exquisitely beautiful face.

The five hundred Vajra warriors' taut bodies instantly deflated, and as they flew up again, they muttered, "What's the point of staying calm now?!"

Five hundred catties was pulled back to his feet once again, and then he looked at this eighth-level divine child, the woman who had made Five Hundred Catties lose her soul.

"That's it?"

Two words rose in Wu Baijin's mind. Was this Yae no Miko pretty? Very pretty, but compared to Kamisato Ayaka, they were at best evenly matched.

She is beautiful, but why is she so infatuated with Wu Baijin? After all, she wasn't like this even when she saw Ayaka Kamisato.

Under this influence, and with this thought in mind, Wu Baijin found that the feeling of being tempted had vanished instantly. Because, in his eyes, the Eightfold Divine Child was simply a stunning beauty, and then… nothing.

But Wu Baijin is different. He has lost the ability to think and has become a complete idiot.

"Ha ha……"

With a light laugh, the Eightfold Divine Child looked at them, especially at the five-hundred-pound man, and said, "What's wrong, little guy? What kind of look is that? Did I disappoint you?"

Wu Baijin's heart skipped a beat; his previously calm mind was now in turmoil. However, he managed to restrain himself and said, "No, Lord Gongsi, I..."

Five Hundred Jin was a very serious matter. But the Eightfold Divine Child in front of him didn't even listen to him finish speaking. His body flashed and transformed into a streak of purple light, arriving in front of Five Hundred Jin. With a single finger, he gently lifted Five Hundred Jin's chin.

"You're not a palace attendant, you should call me 'elder sister'."

"Sister...sister..."

Wu Baijin was completely dumbfounded; his heart nearly exploded. Beside him, Wu Baijin spurted blood from his nose, nearly shooting it three feet high, and collapsed to the ground.

Taking a step back, Wu Baijin clutched his chest, then swallowed hard. "Holy crap, holy crap, this... I almost couldn't handle it."

"Um, Lord Kyoji..."

"Ok!"

Yae no Miko glanced at Wu Baijin; her gaze held displeasure, resentment, but even more so, an alluring temptation.

"No, no, sister, sister, um, I want to know, how did you know we were coming?"

Yae no Miko stepped back slightly, looked at the five hundred-pound man, and chuckled, "Why can't I know?"

Wu Baijin felt even stranger, and with this strange feeling, the temptation diminished considerably. So, he calmed himself down.

"But if you know, then you must know why we've come to see us. So why did you come?"

Yae no Miko chuckled again, turned around and took a few steps with light steps, speaking as she turned her back to the 500-pound man: "I know, you just want to take advantage of me, don't you?"

As he stopped, he continued, "Don't worry, I know. It's not your fault, and..."

She paused slightly, turned her body slightly, and glanced back at Wu Baijin. A purple light flashed in her eyes, and an alluring charm that seemed to cover every pore of her body quickly swept over her. At the same time, a final, casual sentence echoed in Wu Baijin's ears.

"You...don't you want to be with me...?"

Boom!

A critical hit, an absolute critical hit! Wu Baijin almost couldn't hold back his nosebleed. Beside him, Wu Baijin was trembling with excitement, lying on the ground groaning.

Finally, Wu Baijin's rationality was almost gone, and he even subconsciously asked, "Is...is it okay?"

He regretted asking the question as soon as he did. Looking at the woman in front of him, he really wanted to beat himself to death. How could he be so weak-willed? He knew perfectly well that this woman was flirting with him.

"Hehehehe..."

The Eightfold Divine Child chuckled, his voice like celestial music from beyond the nine heavens, making even a 500-pound man feel itchy all over.

Finally, she stopped, looking at the five-hundred-pound man who still wore a smile, yet with an extremely alluring air, and said one last thing: "Dream on..."

"KO!"

Five hundred pounds, utterly defeated...

Chapter 553: Shaken Memories

Wu Baijin finally couldn't hold back any longer, and with a thud, he lay down on the ground, groaning along with Wu Baijin.

At this moment, Wu Baijin finally stood up, looked at the Eightfold Divine Child and pounced, saying, "Divine Child, I'm here!"

But Yae no Miko nimbly dodged it. After dodging, she lowered her brows, her face full of desolation.

"I really want to hold you in my arms, but Narukami Shrine is so dirty and messy lately. I have to clean it, and I'm so tired and sleepy. I cry every day. I'm so sad and heartbroken."

With a smirk, he said, "Of course, if someone is willing to help me, I will definitely repay them properly."

The man, who had been lying on the ground weighing 500 jin, was startled by these words, but immediately got up. He understood; Yae no Miko was looking for free labor. Narukami Taisha was such a large place, with only a few shrine maidens inside, that cleaning it would definitely be a hassle, and hiring people would certainly be very expensive.

Now, if they agree, they'll have to clean the entire Narukami Shrine. Moreover, Gohyakki has reason to believe that if they agree, they won't be able to leave until it's all done.

"Damn it, this is a pirate ship!"

Looking at Yae no Miko, for some reason, I saw a shadow of Ayato Kamisato in her. It's true, she just escaped one danger only to fall into another.

But before Wu Baijin could refuse, just as he stood up, he heard a sound.

"I'll help you! Don't worry, Divine Child, leave everything to me, I'll do it all for you."

Wu Baijin recovered immediately; his nosebleed stopped, his body returned to normal, and he looked serious as if he were about to go to war.

"That's wonderful, thank you so much."

As Yae no Miko spoke, she winked at Wu Baijin. At that moment, two puffs of white vapor shot directly from Wu Baijin's nostrils.

Then this guy rushed up to the 500-pound man, grabbed him, and said, "Let's go! Let's get to work!"

Five Hundred Jin: "……………………………………Ah! What does this have to do with me!"

Even though he was being dragged along by Wu Baijin, he still managed to shout.

"Hey, hey, Master! Calm down! Calm down!"

Wu Baijin tossed his head and said, "Calm down my ass! How can we not grant the request of the Divine Child?!"

After saying that, he clenched his fist and said, "I must perform well and make the Divine Child accept me!"

The five-hundred-pound girl was about to cry, but even more despair was yet to come.

A few minutes later, Wu Baijin looked ahead and saw a fat raccoon cat pressing down on a rag with both hands and kicking hard with its hind legs, kicking forward like a big caterpillar, leaving the ground shiny and clean wherever it went.

After wiping it once, they would check it again, and if there was even one small flaw, they would wipe it again, making it reflective and causing the paste to burst! In short, it was outrageous.

After wiping the floor and sweeping the yard, those cherry blossoms, though beautiful when they fall, are a real hassle to sweep up. Not only that, they also have to wipe the tables, windows, and even the nooks and crannies.

Most importantly, this wasn't arranged by Yae no Miko; it was Ikunobu himself who wanted to do it. He wasn't letting anything go; he wanted nothing less than to throw the entire Narukami Shrine into the sea and wash it away.

After that, reinforce and repair the roof. What? You say the roof is fine? Then reinforce it, reinforce everything that's fine, don't overlook anything.

Finally, they went up to prune the Divine Cherry Tree. Those five hundred gold coins—they really had to cut every single leaf into a different style, and even carve a boy's name on it.

"The wise and beautiful Yae no Miko."

In this line of work, the thief is so small, he wouldn't even care how he carved 500 pounds. Anyway, they stayed at Narukami Shrine for the entire period of time, and that stay lasted for three days.

Three days! His 500-pound frame was almost falling apart from exhaustion. But Wu Baijin was still full of high morale! Looking at the Narukami Shrine, which had been completely cleared away, he was very happy.

By the morning of the fourth day, after a final rest, Wu Baijin and his team had finally finished. Looking at the newly renovated Narukami Shrine, Yae no Miko couldn't help but clap her hands.

"Great, it's all done, it's so clean."

After saying that, he handed each of them a cup of tea and patted Wu Baijin on the head, saying, "Thank you, little guy."

Wu Baijin was so excited he almost cried. At this moment, Yae no Miko looked at the other half and noticed that Wu Baijin seemed to be preoccupied.

Yes, starting this morning, I don't know why, but I have a feeling that something is going to happen today. I feel gloomy, as if something big is about to happen.

"What's wrong, little brother? Something on your mind?"

The Eightfold Divine Child spoke. Wu Baijin, startled, stammered, "No, Lord Palace Master, I... I'm fine..."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled, "If you have something on your mind, why not draw a fortune stick? Maybe you'll have good luck."

Wu Baijin looked at the box that had appeared in the arms of the Eightfold Divine Child, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Gongsi."

"Hehehe, don't be so polite. After all, you've been busy for three days. Consider this your wages."

............................................................

Wu Baijin suddenly sensed something was wrong, and then realized, "Hey! Are we just going to be done with this after three days?"

Yae no Miko had already drawn her lot. She picked it up from the ground, shook it in her hand, and finally said, "What, do you still want it? If you don't, you'll have nothing left."

He grabbed the 500-pound bag and said, "Yes, of course I want it."

Upon receiving the slip and seeing the line of text on it, Wu Baijin was stunned.

"Oh no! It's a very bad omen, little brother, you'd better be careful lately."

Upon reaching the side and seeing that it was an extremely unlucky divination slip, Yae no Miko couldn't help but speak. Meanwhile, Wu Baijin's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, until finally, even his hand holding the slip was sweating.

"Alright, since it's already this late, could you go and buy me a serving of fried tofu?"

Suddenly, Yae no Miko crossed her arms and spoke. Wu Baijin was somewhat unwilling; after all, he was still waiting to be embraced by Yae no Miko, and he was reluctant to leave the mountain now.

After all, he managed to touch Ayaka Kamisato's hand, but Yae no Miko didn't get to touch a single hair on her head.
