How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

How awful! How awful!

His mind was screaming wildly. He had never been threatened like this before and wished he could kill Shimizu Asahi on the spot. However, he knew that was impossible. Therefore, the desire to live forced him to calm down.

Calm down... calm down!

Don't panic, don't panic. Since he wants me to let the Tamura family go, then I should obey him for now, give up my plans against the Tamura family, and find a way to make the Tamura family pay the price after he leaves!

Shimizu Asahi's words revealed that he would be leaving and would not protect the Tamura family forever. Therefore, he would have countless opportunities to harm the Tamura family!

Just you wait! The Tamura family will pay the price for your actions!

Having made up his mind, Daimyo prepared to speak, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a calm voice rang out again.

"To keep Reiko and me calm for now, and then make a move against Father after we've all left. It's a very simple idea. Before we came to the palace, those dozen or so nobles thought the same thing. But, Lord Daimyo, what do you think of those nobles who had the same idea? What's become of them now?"

The calm and slightly indifferent words struck Da Ming like a thunderclap, instantly stunning him. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare intently at the only pair of eyes in the darkness.

Quiet and unhurried, with deep eyes like a stagnant pool, revealing no emotion, Daiming couldn't help but have this thought under the gaze of those eyes.

Everything about me has been seen through.

Whether it's thoughts or intentions, everything is seen through by these eyes. No matter what you do, you can't hide from their gaze!

Unconsciously, the daimyo's body trembled, and fear welled up in his eyes, which were filled with anger and rage...

"It seems that Lord Daimyo has already guessed their fate. So... Lord Daimyo, what is your answer?"

......

The dark clouds that had covered the sky gradually dissipated, and the bright moonlight once again shone on the earth. The streets that had been swallowed by darkness revealed their original appearance. Shimizu Asahi and Reiko had left the palace and returned to the streets.

The black-haired boy, having solved the last problem, let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "It's finally over... Father can finally get some rest."

"Well, although the rumors won't disappear so quickly, with those nobles handling things in secret, I believe they can be completely put to rest within half a month."

"But Shimizu, why didn't you let me deal with that daimyo alone?"

"You clearly didn't need to be the bad guy."

Lingzi looked at her fiancé with some confusion. She had handled so many people before her, so why did he have to do it all by himself for the last one?

"I can't let you handle this all by yourself, after all, I also have a share of the responsibility."

"Moreover... I'll feel uneasy if I don't teach the daimyo a lesson myself."

Although he has calmed down now, calmness does not mean the absence of anger. He wants to personally inflict fear on the culprit who initiated the passive-aggressive behavior.

It's just a pity that if he had been a little more ruthless, he might have given him a lesson he would never forget.

"I see... So it's about venting your anger? But Shimizu, your expression just now was surprisingly cute."

Reiko blinked, and for some reason, she found Shimizu Asahi's behavior somewhat adorable.

A person who has always been rational suddenly does something to retaliate against others out of anger... Although it seems normal from any angle, the expression on Shimizu Asahi's face when she said those words gave her a feeling of sulking.

Just like a little child.

"Hehe, I've made a profit this time."

My fiancé's new expression has been successfully unlocked. Chapter 383: Five years! Five years! I'm finally getting married!

"cute?"

Called "cute" by his fiancée, he touched his face. This wasn't the first time he'd heard someone describe him as cute. Before he even arrived in this era, Ibuki would often tease him, saying things like "you're so cute" when he blushed a little.

However, no matter what Ibuki said back then, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy who hadn't fully grown up yet. So, the word "cute" wasn't inappropriate to describe him, but... he's twenty-one now. Using such a word on a twenty-one-year-old youth seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?

Or was his expression just now really cute?

After thinking for a moment without coming up with anything, the boy finally smiled and shook his head. Oh well... why was he thinking so much? He wasn't Reiko; how would he know Reiko's standards for judging cuteness?

Besides, since Reiko said so, I'll just pretend I really did act a little cute.

The relaxed boy smiled and said, "Then just say I'm cute."

"Alright, let's go back. We'll tell Father about this tomorrow and make him happy too."

"Ah."

The black-haired boy and the white-haired princess held hands and slowly walked home under the moonlight...

The next day, a dazzling yet gentle light pierced through the darkness, dispelled the cold, and warmed the entire world once again.

As the sun rose, Qing Shui Chaoyang, lying in bed, slowly opened her eyes.

Despite being busy all night yesterday, Qingshui Chaoyang did not expend much energy. Even though he only slept for two or three hours, he still seemed full of energy.

After he woke up, Reiko also opened her eyes.

After a quick wash, the two went to their room.

Even though they had been away for more than a month, the Tamura family's breakfast time remained unchanged. When they arrived at the room, breakfast was already prepared, and the Tamura family members were already waiting there.

Upon seeing the two enter, all three turned their gazes toward them. Kurako and Yoko's eyes held a hint of joy and happiness, while Tamura's gaze carried a trace of helplessness and pride.

Clearly, Kurako and Yoko had already told Tamura about it before they arrived.

Good morning, Father.

Rubbing his head, the black-haired boy smiled and sat down in his seat, saying, "Since Father already knows, I won't say anything more. In short, Father can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while."

"I originally intended to handle this matter discreetly, but I didn't expect you to find out in the end, and... it was all resolved overnight. I really have to admit I'm getting old."

Tamura sighed, then paused briefly before changing the subject. "I won't ask how you handled this. I trust you. Besides, since you're back, there's no need to say anything that would ruin the atmosphere."

"Let's eat breakfast first, and then we'll go out to play."

"it is good."

Shimizu Asahi and Reiko exchanged a smile, and then began to enjoy their breakfast...

After the incident of emotional abuse ended, Tamura Shige's pressure eased considerably. However, because the situation in the city had not yet improved, he was currently suspended from his duties and could spend his days with his daughter and son-in-law.

But of course, he didn't have the habit of being a 'hindrance'. When Shimizu Asahi was exchanging feelings with Reiko or Yoko, he clearly went to the side and gave them space.

However, there is one more thing to be aware of.

That was the marriage of Shimizu Asahi, Reiko, and Yoko.

He wasn't a rigid, inflexible person. After Lingzi's identity was exposed, he knew that it was no longer possible to organize a wedding for the sisters that everyone would envy.

Therefore, he intends to keep everything simple.

Without inviting anyone or organizing a ceremony, the wedding of Shimizu Asahi and her sisters was held right in their home.

Although it was a bit rushed and even a bit irregular, it didn't matter. After Shimizu Asahi and Reiko returned this time, they would definitely enter a busy period, and he wouldn't be able to see them again until that busy period was over.

According to them, this could keep them busy for one to two years, or even longer.

Ye Zi is already twenty-three or twenty-four, and in another year or two she will be twenty-five. Even though she has found her husband, Qing Shui Chao Yang, she is still a little worried.

Moreover... his age is also starting to take its toll.

In an era where the average lifespan is no more than fifty, he is already considered old. Even if he is still vigorous, he is not sure how much longer he can live. So, fast forward to the three of them getting married, and then fast forward to them having children... If Shimizu and the others can really let him hold his grandson before he dies peacefully, he will truly have no regrets in this life.

Shimizu Asahi and the others understood and supported their father's concerns. Besides, the marriage had been decided more than two years ago, and if it weren't for the many events that had occurred in between, they would have been married long ago.

Nowadays, without complicated formalities and elaborate planning, they can truly become husband and wife simply by choosing a date.

After discussing it with Reiko and Yoko, and after careful consideration, Shimizu Asahi finally decided to get married this month.

Having made their decision, they immediately took action.

As the Tamura family's situation improved, their servants and soldiers gradually became happier, and their usual smiles returned to their faces. Following this good news, they received the even better news of Shimizu Asahi's marriage to the Tamura sisters. This double celebration made the servants and soldiers extremely happy.

Even though Tamura said not to make too much of a fuss, they all went all out, presenting their best appearance, making the best preparations, and offering their best wishes to welcome this day.

Amidst the busy laughter, time slipped away little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

In the past two weeks, the Tamura family has completed all the necessary preparations, including putting up the "double happiness" character on paper and hanging up firecrackers, which are extremely rare in this country.

Similarly, they also did their best with the most important thing: the bride and groom's clothes.

And all of this, in its best form, has become the best we see today.

The wedding of the Shimizu Asahi and Tamura sisters has arrived.

"The day has finally come..."

Sitting in her room, Shimizu Asahi, dressed in a festive wedding outfit, nervously clenched her fists.

The most important day of my life has finally arrived... Chapter 381, Section 384: So, it was me who married Ye Zi and Ling Zi?

"Huff, huff..."

Deep breaths echoed in the room as the black-haired boy sat quietly on a wooden chair.

His face was calm, his gaze indifferent, and his expression was surprisingly calm, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

However, no one knew how excited he was at that moment.

He kept telling himself to calm down and soothe his mind... Before today even started, he had already adjusted his mindset and was determined not to waver too much.

But as the sun rose, tension still overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

As his emotions ran high, his palms gradually became sweaty.

It's hard to imagine that he, who never got so nervous that his palms sweated even when facing the Yamata no Orochi, would be so... at a loss when it came to marriage.

"This feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand."

"Sir, you're too nervous. It's just a wedding, don't take it too seriously."

The boy muttered to himself, and then a light, happy laugh came from outside the door.

Shimizu Asahi looked up and saw that Kurako had pushed open the door and walked in.

"Kurako? What brings you here?"

The black-haired boy blinked involuntarily. "Shouldn't you be with Ye Zi and Ling Zi?"

Although there were no established rules for "groomsmen" and "bridesmaids" in this era, Ōtakemaru and Kurako still fulfilled the duties expected of these two professions.

However, because Shimizu Asahi was too nervous and Ōtakemaru couldn't speak, Shimizu Asahi asked him to help Tamura Samurai.
