Shota is surrounded by monsters!

Mashiro looked at the other three with a resolute gaze, but drool involuntarily dripped from the corner of her mouth, and then she slowly revealed a lovesick look.

"..."

The other three fell silent. This time, even Shinobu didn't refuse Mashiro's suggestion. After all, slimes are indeed very capable from a certain perspective.

However, Rea and Yomi fell into strange thoughts, especially Rea. She was extremely opposed to her boyfriend doing that kind of thing with other girls, to the point that she wanted to kill the girl. But the girl in question was Mashiro, whom she liked very much, and Shota's condition was also very critical.

Are there any other options?

"My original plan was to send that kid to Kyoto."

Shinobu inserted her finger into the hole in the middle of the donut and played with it idly, saying, "There's a fox over there, which can be used to solve the boy's physiological problems. If we catch it while we're at it, the problem of offspring will be solved too."

"King, Kyoto?"

Huang Quan, who had a good understanding of the regions where yokai roamed, asked in return, "Hagoromo-Gitsune?"

"Well, that fox hasn't fully recovered its strength yet, so Shota's chances of winning are probably about 50/50, right?"

Xiao Ren said nonchalantly, "I'm very satisfied. The other person seems very fertile. And their appearance should match that kid's quite well."

Rei felt uneasy listening to this. She silently lowered her head, her lips pouting.

Instead of asking a woman I don't know, I'd rather ask Mashiro for help... No, asking a woman I don't know would only be once, but with Mashiro, we'd have to spend every day together.

"There is one last backup plan."

Shinobu's words gave Rea a last glimmer of hope, and she said, "Just seal that guy away."

"seal?"

"Sealing most of its power will suffice."

Shinobu glanced at Rea and said, "I know what you want, but after the seal is broken, he probably won't reveal his true form so easily anymore."

"I...I didn't want anything..."

After all, she's a girl, and being told that by Shinobu would definitely make her shy.

"only……"

"only?"

"Ok?"

For some reason, Huang Quan suddenly felt something strange about his body, as if...

At the same time, Shinobu's shape suddenly blurred and then disappeared.

"That guy... Oh no!"

Without a word, Huang Quan rushed to the bathroom, only to find it empty except for a small black crystal on the sink. On the glass, there were words written in lipstick.

"This is Shota. I'm really sorry for everything that's happened lately. The black orb is a temporary attachment point for Yomi. I've already poured a lot of power into it. Of course, to prevent any accidents, Rea, you should also add some power into it from time to time. That way, Yomi won't have any unexpected problems."

“I’m in a very bad state right now, and in order not to hurt anyone, I’ve decided to leave for a while. I’ve already embarked on a path of self-discovery. Please don’t worry about me. Of course, to put everyone’s minds at ease, I will call home regularly to let you know, but please don’t come looking for me. Believe me, I will find a solution and come back soon.”

"Oh right, don't forget to take care of that girl who's possessed by a snake."

"Shouta..."

When Rea saw Shota's message, she immediately panicked.

"call……"

Is it necessary?

Shinobu, perched on Shota's shoulders, said, "There's absolutely no need to do this."

"...It's precisely because I care about them so much that I don't want to hurt them."

Shota completely concealed his presence and leaned against the corner of the wall...

Wow... beautiful girl.

The beautiful woman passing by on the street immediately caught Shota's eye, and he subconsciously wanted to follow her.

"If you're so capable, then stab yourself in the back!"

Upon hearing Shinobu's words, Shota trembled slightly, his eyes regaining their clarity. He sighed helplessly and said, "Let's seal it first."

“You…”

Shinobu wanted to try to dissuade Shota, but before she could speak, Shota clenched his fists and pressed them against his abdomen.

The Taotie can devour everything, and as a Taotie, it's possible for it to devour desires beyond its own appetite. But this doesn't come without a price, especially for a Taotie like Shota who isn't fully grown yet.

A strange black mist enveloped Shota, but it only lasted for a moment before it was completely absorbed into Shota's abdomen.

"what……"

The horn on Shota's head has disappeared, and his tail has shrunk to only 10cm in length.

"Done, done."

A Taotie tattoo had appeared on his abdomen, but Shota glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. His strength had now dropped from nearly S-rank to B-rank, which was the level of an elite exorcist. However, he wasn't too concerned about the decline in his strength; if there was a real crisis, he could always break the seal.

Seemingly due to the decline in Shota's power, Shinobu temporarily returned to Shota's shadow to rest, while Shota emerged from the shadows in the corner.

Although he still feels his corpora cavernosa engorged with blood, at least Shota no longer experiences any uncontrollable adolescent restlessness.

well.

The next step is to find a solution.

Shota's intelligence finally returned. He walked among the crowd, constantly thinking about where to go and what to do.

Overcoming the serpentine lust can either be a slow process, but that takes too long, and it's impossible to process while sealed. Or perhaps something should be found to neutralize it...

If we're talking about finding a balance, then we should definitely look for someone like a saintess, right?

But where can you find someone so pure that it's almost unbearable to look at?

As for where to go... Shota has two options in mind. The first is to go to Kyoto. Kyoto not only has many yokai, but also the most powerful onmyoji in all of Japan. Although his mother is very familiar with yokai, she doesn't understand the methods of onmyoji. Perhaps there really is a pure shrine maiden in their family who can heal him. Although Kyoto is a den of dragons and tigers now, Shota is not too concerned.

Wait... speaking of Kyoto...

I vaguely remember Senjougahara telling me a few days ago what she went to Kyoto for?

That guy... seems to have developed a constitution that allows him to get into trouble no matter where he is.

Thinking of his strange friend, Shota gave a helpless smile.

As for the other option, it is to go back to Europe.

Shota actually misses the place where he was born and raised quite a bit. And no matter what, he'll have to go back once he's come of age.

After all... his own father died there.

He wanted to investigate what happened back then. Shota didn't know much about the opponent his father had ultimately devoured, only that she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings... and a woman. But what puzzled Shota was that his father should usually be happy to see a powerful female monster, especially one capable of bearing children, but it seemed that he refused to mate with her, which is why he fought with her.

Regardless, he was still his father, and Shota wanted to investigate what had happened. After all, he had only watched the battle from afar.

Of course, the main purpose was to try my luck and see if there was any possibility of returning myself to normal.

"Ok?"

Walking down the street, Shota suddenly smelled a strange odor. He followed his nose and found someone sighing in a dark corner...

"..."

"Life is full of unexpected encounters, little snake princess."

"Hey? It's you, young man."

Hiding in the dark corner was the Snake Princess, who had just suffered a blow.

Why aren't you going home?

Shota was bored anyway, so he was happy to exchange a few polite words with Snake Princess, who was now properly dressed and wearing sunglasses.

"Home?... Sigh..."

Snake Princess suddenly looked at the obscured sky with a hint of melancholy and said, "Brother, I want to go back to Europe. My life is such a failure. I can only continue here. I might as well buy some yogurt and go back to the place where I was born and raised."

"..."

That's quite a failure. Shota casually asked Snake Princess, "Where do you live?"

"The monster girl's lair..."

The Snake Princess sighed and said, "However, all the humans there are kept behind huge walls, and there are very few of them. It seems that the Heavenly Kings have plans in mind, so weak monsters like me won't get any humans at all..."

Wait, Heavenly King?

Chapter 131. The Curse

Could the Four Heavenly Kings be related to their fathers?

How are you planning to get back?

"Sigh... I guess I'll just have to swim back..."

"..."

Shota, if he wanted to go to Europe, he would have taken a plane. Right now, he can't reveal his true form, making it extremely difficult to swim to the other side. Shota patted his pockets and realized he'd forgotten to bring any money in his haste…

Buying plane tickets costs money...

How about going to the Nura Clan to ask for money? No, no, no, given Rea and Yomi's intelligence, they're definitely lying in wait there, waiting for us to come to them.

"Ok?"

Shota suddenly sniffed, as if he had spotted a familiar scent, and then said to Snake Princess, "Come with me."

"Huh?"

Before the snake princess could react, Shota pulled her away.

"Where, where... found it."

Finally, in a garbage dump, Shota found his target: Aotabo, a Nura Clan yokai that faintly exuded a demonic aura.

However, the other party seemed to have fainted.

"Hello, hello, Qingtianfang."

Shota squatted down and poked the other person with his finger, saying, "Don't sleep."
