In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"Let's go."

......

The two left the Kamisato House and gave instructions to the guards at the door.

Thomas led the way, and the two headed north until they reached the vicinity of the desolate sea.

There are many ruins around the desolate sea. Usually, no one comes here. Even if they do, they are usually lawless people such as treasure-hunting gangs or the Wild Ambush Clan.

"Thoma, where are you taking me?"

Ayaka Kamisato, who had initially held some expectations, felt a vague sense of unease rising in her heart as she looked at the increasingly desolate surroundings.

Thomas did not answer her question, but continued walking forward, and stopped after a short while.

He turned around, his eyes full of apology.

"Excuse me, miss."

Thomas's words caught Ayaka Kamisato off guard. Before she could understand what he meant, a hand suddenly struck her neck forcefully.

Then, she felt her legs go weak, and she collapsed into someone's arms before fainting.

"Well done."

Looking at the unconscious Ayaka Kamisato in her arms, Yui Suzumiya stretched out her arm to Thomas.

"This is a reward for you."

After saying that, he used his finger to cut the skin on his arm and let the blood flow out.

Thomas hesitated at first, but in the end he went over and swallowed the blood flowing from Suzumiya Yu's arm.

For some reason, every time he swallowed Suzumiya Yu's blood, he always felt that his own power was enhanced, a feeling of comfort that was indescribable.

"Let's get to know each other."

After the wound on her arm healed, Ryou turned to look behind her.

Under Thomas's gaze, a person slowly emerged from the shadows behind Suzumiya Yu.

That was Wuye. After receiving Suzumiya Yu's orders, he rushed from Kannazuka to Narukami Island without stopping.

He was stopped by the shogunate army on his way here, but because there was no evidence to prove that he was a suspicious person, and because he had a special pass issued by the Tenryo Envoy, he was allowed to pass.

“This is your companion, and also my first subordinate. He is different from you. From the beginning, he has been absolutely subservient to me, so he has received more blood than you.”

"From now on, as long as you are more loyal to me and work hard to complete the tasks I assign you, you can also get more blood from me."

"Be prepared to give your lives for me. There will be more than just the two of you under my command, so the competition will be fierce."

After saying that, Suzumiya Yu picked up Kamisato Ayaka and walked into the secret room of the wooden house.

Thomas and Wuye exchanged a glance before turning and leaving.

After doing such a thing, Thomas knew very well that he could never go back to the way things were before, and there was no turning back.

Chapter Nineteen: Coercion (Please add to your favorites and recommend)

In the dimly lit, secret room, only a few lit candles provided light.

A faint scent of vanilla filled the air. The once empty secret room was now filled with furniture, making it look just like a room.

As Ayaka Kamisato regained consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself in this unfamiliar place.

"What's going on...where am I, Thomas?"

When she regained consciousness, she looked around but didn't see anyone. Remembering that Thomas had brought her here, she began to call his name, but there was no response.

Her limbs were bound with iron chains, but fortunately, the power of the Eye of God was still usable.

Just as Ayaka Kamisato was about to use her elemental power to cut the chains after summoning a weapon out of thin air, a hand suddenly grabbed her.

She looked up in surprise and found that the other person was a handsome young man.

A pair of blood-red eyes emitted a faint, eerie light, which was incredibly unsettling.

"You are... Kibutsuji Muzan?"

Ayaka Kamisato recognized his identity through his eyes.

Without hesitation, she channeled ice elemental power into her weapon and thrust it at her opponent with such speed that ordinary people could hardly react.

Suzumiya Yuu remained unfazed. He instantly drew his sword from his waist and swung it forcefully, knocking the weapon from Kamisato Ayaka's hand.

Ayaka Kamisato tried to resist, but Yuu Suzumiya grabbed her other wrist as well.

With both of her hands restrained, Ayaka Kamisato was already in a very passive position, and now she had no ability to resist at all.

"What do you want? Where did Thomas go?"

Ayaka Kamisato struggled desperately, but the other person was too strong, and she had no way to resist.

"Thoma? Are you talking about the person who brought you here on his own initiative?"

Suzumiya Yu looked at the other person with a teasing gaze.

"Thoma wouldn't do that to me; you must have forced him!"

Ayaka Kamisato wasn't stupid; she immediately saw through the deception.

"You're right, I did force him to do it."

Suzumiya smiled wryly, not denying the fact.

"What did you do to Thomas?"

Ayaka Kamisato had felt that Thomas was acting strangely since yesterday, and now she finally knew that it was all Suzumiya Yu's doing.

"I didn't do anything to him. Everything I did was to get you."

Suzumiya Yu's face slowly approached that of Kamisato Ayaka, leaving the latter somewhat bewildered.

"To...get me?"

Ayaka Kamisato found it hard to understand the meaning of Suzumiya Yu's words. To obtain her? Did it mean, literally, to want to possess her?

After doing something like this, he says he wants to have her. Doesn't that seem a bit ridiculous? No one in his position would probably submit to him.

But then she thought again, Thomas was still in Suzumiya Yu's hands. She didn't care about herself, but she didn't want to see the people around her get hurt.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke.

“Since you’re after me, release Thomas, and I’ll grant you anything you ask.”

"is it?"

Suzumiya Yu was waiting for these words from her. He knew Ayaka Kamisato's personality, so he knew she would definitely sacrifice herself to save Thomas.

Therefore, he had already prepared a corresponding answer.

"Then how about you marry me? We'll grow old together and spend the rest of our lives together."

"you!"

Ayaka Kamisato didn't expect Yuu Ryoko to be so direct. She was prepared to refuse, but when she thought about how he was a demon who had killed countless people, she was afraid that if she refused him, he would start a killing spree without any scruples.

So, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Okay... I promise you, but you have to keep your promise and let Thomas leave."

Seeing the look of disgust in Ayaka Kamisato's eyes, Yuu Ryomiya was not surprised at all. When he decided to get her in this forceful way, this outcome was inevitable.

But so what? Even the deepest-seated enemies of ten thousand years can eventually turn hostility into friendship, and Suzumiya Yu doesn't think that as the Demon King, she can obtain happiness through normal means.

His unique identity dictates that he must obtain happiness through unconventional means. If that's the case, what's wrong with being tough? Who can do anything to him?

"She's so kind it breaks my heart."

Suzumiya Yu released her grip on Kamisato Ayaka's hand and then placed one of her palms on her face.

Ayaka Kamisato immediately slapped Yuu Suzumiya's hand away, which angered him, but he ultimately did nothing.

"Linghua, since you have agreed to marry me, how about calling me husband? As soon as you do, I will immediately release Thomas and leave."

Ayaka Kamisato turned her head away, ignoring him.

"Tsk..."

Suzumiya Yu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, with lightning speed, he lunged forward, opened his mouth, aimed at Kamisato Ayaka's neck, and bit down without hesitation.

"Hey~"

Ayaka Kamisato was terrified by his action. She desperately tried to push Ryougu away with both hands, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge him at all and could only let him suck her blood.

Soon, Ayaka Kamisato's body went limp and she couldn't muster any strength.

Perhaps because she had absorbed too much blood, her face turned somewhat pale, but thankfully Suzumiya Yu stopped in time.

Licking his lips, Ryoujiro's expression was full of lingering desire. Looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly had an urge to devour her.

However, he quickly suppressed this impulse. He had gone to great lengths to finally get his hands on Ayaka Kamisato, and he couldn't bear to just take her away like that.

......

As agreed, Suzumiya Yu found Toma and planned to let him return to Kamisato House.

But in fact, this was also part of his plan.

However, things still took an unexpected turn. Through Thomas's memories, Suzumiya Yu learned that Kujo Sara had gone to Kamisato Yashiki to investigate some time ago, and also realized that the other party had seen through her deception.

If Kujo Sara were to return and tell Kujo Takayuki this news, the shogunate army and the foolish tribe would surely search for him with all their might.

This is not good news. His secret base is not well hidden. If they can find their way here, they will definitely find it.

In other words, Suzumiya Yuu has to take some measures to keep his whereabouts from being discovered; otherwise, he will have no choice but to hide with Kamisato Ayaka.

Even so, given the shogunate army and the fools' thorough search, he will still be found; it's only a matter of time.

Therefore, he planned to take the initiative and defeat both the shogunate army and the foolish tribes. The key to achieving this goal was to get Thomas back to the Kamisato family.
