"And what you're wearing now, even if you were wrapped in a layer of burlap, this outfit wouldn't be as eye-catching as this."

Chapter 404 Yongyi's Friend

Saya and Yuugi easily blended into the town.

After all, it's just a wall to keep out humans; it's hardly enough to deal with guys like them.

Like a naive young lady who had escaped from a wealthy and noble family, Yuugi showed no concern whatsoever about her identity as a demon being exposed. Holding a sake bowl, she strolled down the street with Sasaki, who had changed into a suit of iron armor, constantly checking out the stalls on the side.

"If you're human, Zuoyou, this kind of scene should be quite common, right? Why do you seem more curious than I am?"

Turning his head to look at Saya, who was barely able to move his legs, Yuugi joked with him.

"That's true, but how should I put it, this is truly the first time I've ever seen a scene like this." Squinting at the ancient city from a thousand years ago, Saya gazed at the bustling streets. Only now did he feel truly human.

Since he transmigrated here, all he has seen are trees and forests. It is green enough and environmentally friendly, but it still feels like he is living in another world.

It wasn't until he rediscovered this uniquely human sense of prosperity that he understood why humans are considered social animals.

"There's nothing surprising about seeing it for the first time. You'll have plenty of time to see it later. Right now, what we need to do is get through here first." w.hl

"After we finish eating, I'll have to go back and clean up the mess. Can I ask someone I know to help you with the rest?"

She practically dragged Saya to the front of the house. Before Yuugi could even speak, the servants at the door, as if they already knew her, turned and stepped aside, letting her in. After letting Saya and Yuugi in, the servants simply nodded to them and ran straight into the main hall.

"Is your friend a renowned figure in this country?"

Sōyu scratched his head. Even if he lacked common sense, he understood that someone who could own such a large house in a big town must have a background and identity that were definitely not simple.

"Huh? I don't know, but she does seem to be impersonating an Onmyoji right now. As for how famous she is, do you think I'm the kind of person who would know about that?"

She rolled her eyes at Saya. Yuugi, who only knew how to drink, had no idea about all this. All she needed to know was that the people living here were acquaintances of hers.

"Then you are really amazing."

Sawa's lips twitched. Having completely realized that this drunkard truly had nothing on his mind but alcohol and fighting, he decisively chose to shut up.

Any questions will be answered once the person in question appears. But if it's Hoshiguma Yuugi's friend, could it possibly be some jealous watermelon?

Or perhaps, it's some kind of one-handed steamed bun fairy?

To Saya's surprise, the person who came out to greet him and Yuugi was a handsome man with an otherworldly appearance and a tall stature.

Yes, it's a man.

Sawa raised an eyebrow. Although he sensed a somewhat familiar aura emanating from this man, wasn't this guy just a little too handsome?

This is probably the perfect example of a guy with feminine features. If it weren't for his chest being even flatter than Kaguya's, and the slightly protruding Adam's apple on his throat, Saya would definitely think he was a pretty girl dressed as a man.

"What brings you here, Sister Yongyi? It's truly an honor for me, Seimei." (This last part is a bit of a lie.)

"That's enough. The person next to me is also my friend. You don't need to do such disgusting things anymore."

Yongyi glanced at the handsome man who came up to her as if he wanted to give her a hug, and pushed him away with a look of disgust.

"Sister Yongyi, your words are truly hurtful! My actions were merely enthusiastic, not offensive!"

This guy, why does he really act like a woman?

"I don't have time to waste here arguing with you. Hurry up and prepare a table of food and drinks; I need to go back after I finish eating." V

Ignoring his expression, Yuugi pulled Saya to a nearby pavilion to sit down before looking at Saya, who had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Don't worry about her, she's just a weirdo."

Saya looked at the man who had sat down with them, pursed his lips, and then spoke.

"My new friend, Zuoyou, is really good at fighting, just my type."

After listening to Saya's explanation, Yuugi hooked her arm around Saya's shoulder and turned towards the handsome man. The way she pointed at Saya didn't look like she was introducing a friend; it was more like some thug showing off his new girlfriend.

"As for this girl, she doesn't even dare to show her true appearance, so there's no point in introducing her to you. Just treat her as a coward."

She didn't even bother to glance at the man over there, a young heartthrob who, by today's standards, could become a top-tier celebrity just by showing his face. Yongyi's voice was full of disdain for her.

"My name is Anpei Seimei, and I currently serve as the chief Onmyoji in Heian-kyo. It's a pleasure to meet you, Saya-kun."

As if he hadn't heard Yuugi's disdainful words at all, the man smiled and looked at Saya, extending his fair hand to him.

"No, what is this? Anpei Seimei?" wh

Sawa is now very glad that he didn't drink water, otherwise he would have already spat it out.

But what Saya found even more unimaginable was the next sentence Yuugi threw out.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. This girl isn't some kind of Onmyoji; she's just a stinky fox pretending to be human. Am I right, Tamamo?"

Chapter 405 Purpose

Sōyū cleaned his ears to make sure they weren't blocked by anything before confirming that he hadn't been hallucinating.

Did he hear a familiar name?

"Oh dear, Yuugi-nee, you're so boring. I was actually hoping to see your friend's surprised expression~"

She gave Yuugi a coquettish look, and the handsome man, who had been wearing a white men's kimono, looked at Saya, a pair of fox ears peeking out from the hair on top of her head.

Her chest, which was originally as flat as an airport runway, suddenly swelled up, as if two little monsters were hiding inside, arousing curiosity.

She wiped her palm over her Adam's apple, and as her voice transformed into that of a clear, melodious lark, the Adam's apple vanished instantly.

Just a moment ago, this guy was a handsome young man, but right in front of Sawa, he transformed into a stunningly beautiful fox-eared girl.

"What's wrong, Brother Zuo? Are you bewitched by my beauty? This will bring you misfortune."

Seeing Sōyū's dazed expression, the fox-eared girl, thinking he was lost in admiration for her own beauty, chuckled and reminded him.

Although she didn't know why Yuugi would bring such a boy who looked no different from an ordinary person to her home, since Yuugi said that he was very strong, then he must have strength that even she herself could not perceive.

After all, those oni are the kind of people who really don't lie.

"No, how should I put it, it just feels like we're destined to meet. And then, I never imagined that Abe no Seimei's true identity would be someone like you."

Zuo Yu didn't know what expression to use to say this. It was a good thing he wasn't a local from Gonghong, otherwise, he felt like his worldview would be shattered.

The legendary strongest Onmyoji was actually just a fox spirit in disguise? That's so shocking!

What's even more shocking is that this fox is female, and it might even instigate a war soon, becoming a legendary monster that's also widely known.

It was so exciting, Zuoyou almost couldn't take it anymore.

"What's there to be upset about? She's on the path of collecting faith. You won't be surprised if she becomes a god someday, okay?"

Yongyi waved her hand dismissively. Compared to the previous effeminate handsome boy, she was much more accepting of the current fox-eared girl look.

"So, what exactly does Sister Yongyi want to trouble me with? It can't just be something as simple as wanting to have dinner and drinks with me, right?"

The fox-eared girl, whom Yuugi called "Little Tamamo," glanced at Saya beside her. Although she knew it was definitely related to him, she still needed to ask Yuugi for details.

"Of course, I simply brought my friend here, and since he wanted to see what a god looks like, I naturally brought him here to find you, the one who's about to transform into a god."

As if proud of it, Yuugi patted his heaving chest and, without any sense of unease, told Saya about the fox-eared girl's secrets.

However, Sawa wasn't surprised at all by this. Judging from what happened a thousand years later, it was clear that the fox who became the strongest Onmyoji among humans had definitely succeeded. He not only became a god, but also a lazy bum who just wanted to live a life of leisure.

Just because Saya thinks this way doesn't mean that Tamamo-no-Mae, an old acquaintance of Saya's, can understand. Having had her secrets exposed by Yuugi, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Saya, who was standing to the side without saying a word.

"Yongyi, I think you should know what you should and shouldn't say, right? Is he really worthy of your trust?"

The fox-eared girl frowned, unable to discern anything noteworthy about Saya, a boy whose attire was slightly more flamboyant than that of a typical samurai, no matter how she looked at him.

Hmm, no, the knife in his hand does look pretty impressive, but if that's all there is, it's clearly not enough to convince her.

"What do you mean? Are you doubting me? Haven't I already said that Brother Zuoyou is someone I like, so of course I can absolutely trust him?"

With a hearty pat on Saya's shoulder, Yuugi looked at the fox-eared girl with an expression that said, "You actually doubt me?"

"You can trust them, but I can't completely trust the people you trust. After all, how should I put it... your brain..."

Tamamo-no-Mae, unsure how to describe Yuugi's personality and thought process, clicked her tongue and exchanged glances with Saya.

"I just want to know, Brother Zuoyou, now that you've seen the god like me you wanted to see, what do you want to do? I'm right here now, so I think you can tell me, right?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's words revealed a hint of suspicion and intimidation, befitting her cunning fox nature, which remained unchanged.

"Actually, it's nothing. If it were another god, I might have some questions to ask, but with you, let's forget about it. Besides, judging from what you and Yuugi said, you haven't officially become a god yet, have you?"

Sōyū waved his hand. The fact that she was still impersonating an Onmyoji meant that she must not have done some preparation work. Otherwise, she should have already called herself the Inari God.

Sōyū didn't think these demons were the kind of creatures who would covet the rights and wealth of human society. If they wanted to, there was absolutely no need for them to go through all this trouble.

"Well, you can ask first, right? I don't have any intention of trusting you until I know your purpose."

With a dangerous glint in her eyes, Tamamo-no-Mae ignored the changed expression on Yuugi's face and continued to question Saya.

Knowing that Yuugi's strength was not much different from his own before the Jade Revolution, he did not worry about Saya. He simply gave Saya a few words of advice and then acted as a complete outsider watching the show.

"This isn't something that can be dealt with or not; it's something that's completely unnecessary, okay?"

Saya gave a wry smile. Fighting Yuugi was troublesome enough; why did he have to prepare for another fight after arriving here?

"Fine, fine, I'll just say it straight, okay? If you're a god, do you know how to travel through time? In other words, if you want to go a thousand years into the future, you need to prepare..."

After thinking for a moment, Zuoyou ultimately decided to reveal his purpose to avoid trouble.

Chapter 406 Humans are not that powerful yet

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Saya with a puzzled expression, her eyes seeming to pierce through his gaze and see into his very soul.

Judging from Saya's eyes, he probably wasn't lying about this. In other words, he came to me just to ask this kind of question?

"I've heard of guys who want to go back in time to change history and past decisions, but someone like you who wants to go to the future is the first I've ever heard of."

After Sōyu explained his reasons, Tamamo-no-Mae's wariness of him lessened considerably.

Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, even if the reason seemed a bit far-fetched, he didn't seem to be lying.
