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

She subconsciously leaned closer to Qing Shui Chaoyang and said in a seductive tone, "The way you look, are you envious of the person who has the same name as you?"

"If that's the case, don't be envious. Since you're Mio's younger brother, I can arrange a marriage for you." (Chapter 414)

"Ok?"

The words of the God of Fate reached not only Shimizu Asahi's ears, but also those of the three girls.

They looked up casually, and their eyes, each a different color, fell on her at the same time.

Why didn't they think of that?

The Goddess of Marriage is the deity who governs marriage. She was able to help Shimizu Asahi and Suzuka Gozen form a bond, so naturally she can help them form one too. If they can also form a red thread of marriage with Shimizu Asahi, then they won't be much less fortunate than Suzuka Gozen!

Although they never doubted their victory, in love, no one can resist a deeper connection with each other.

Even Ibuki, who had already consummated her marriage with Shimizu Asahi, and even Aonobo, who had remained calm and unmoved until now, revealed a hint of longing in their expressions.

A thought also surfaced in their minds.

They may not be able to win over Shimizu Asahi for now, but surely they can win over Enmusubi no Kami?

Hehehe...

It's time to shift our focus a bit.

On the other side, Shimizu Asahi, who was asked the question, looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his hair and said somewhat shyly, "Um... thank you for your kindness, Lord Enmusubi, but I already have my own destiny, so..."

"Huh, you already have one?" The God of Fate paused for a moment, then replied nonchalantly, "It's alright, it's alright. Even if you don't need me to arrange your fate, you can still pray to me and let me give you a red string."

"Just by praying, you can be guaranteed a long and lasting marriage."

As she spoke, the God of Fate's expression became somewhat longing.

Although she still had some divine power left, it was not much, so every marriage that could be arranged was very important to her.

Actually, she had considered Chaoyang, but after thinking about it, she realized that he was Mio's younger brother after all, and it was really not good to take advantage of her friend's brother's faith. Besides, she had been eating and living at Mio's house for free these past few days, not only doing nothing but enjoying herself every day, so she didn't have the nerve to ask.

Of course, the main reason was that she felt that Mio didn't seem to want to arrange a marriage for her younger brother.

But now, the other party has presented her with an opportunity to earn faith. If she doesn't take it, wouldn't she be letting herself down?

So, she decided to take action.

but......

As the spirit of the predestined marriage drew closer, it suddenly felt that Shimizu Asahi looked somewhat familiar, as if it had been seen somewhere before.

She looked intently, and then, a scene slowly surfaced from the depths of her memory...

In that simple shrine, a black-haired boy and a black-haired girl made a vow of marriage, fell in love with each other, and pledged their lives to one another.

Although three hundred years had blurred her memory, she still vaguely remembered what they looked like...

Yes, she still remembers...

When the image in her mind overlapped with the image before her eyes, a deep sense of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

"Wait, wait a minute, you...you mean!?"

The change in the God of Fate's gaze revealed the information, and Shimizu Asahi understood that the other party had discovered it, so he nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"It seems that Lord Enmusubi has already guessed it."

"Yes, I am the human who formed a marriage bond with Reiko three hundred years ago."

"The reason I left three hundred years ago is not because I lived for three hundred years, but simply because I went from this era to three hundred years ago and then returned to this era."

"Back...back to this era?"

The God of Fate opened his eyes in astonishment, "How is this possible? I, as a god, have never heard of such a thing. To go back three hundred years from this era? How is that possible! Even if it were possible, Ara would have stopped it!"

"Huang won't allow this to happen!"

"Ah, if what Lord Enmusubi is talking about is Ara, then I have indeed seen that deity."

"However, he said that my appearance was a choice of fate, so he did not banish me from that era."

"How could this be!?"

The Goddess of Fate was still somewhat unable to accept it. Going back in time to change the future was forbidden. Even though she was a god who knew nothing, she knew it was taboo. If the Great God found out...

Ah, she forgot, Omikami is his older sister, then it's alright.

Wait... So, when she told Mio about this, Mio looked at her with a gaze that seemed to want to strangle her?

She said something like, "I've arranged a marriage for your brother," in front of a brother who was obsessed with his younger brother.

The god of destiny suddenly had the feeling of passing through the gates of the underworld.

For a moment, the simple-minded god felt a wave of fear.

Taking a few deep breaths, Enmusubi tried to calm herself down. She took a sip of hot tea and said resignedly, "Since even Ara has come forward about this, I won't care anymore."

"You're back now, so you must be getting married to Reiko, right?"

"Where's Lingzi? Isn't she with you?"

As he spoke, the God of Fate looked around, seemingly wondering why Reiko wasn't with him.

"...Actually, Reiko...left after I left, and I don't know where she is now."

“After returning to Suzuka Mountain, Ōtakemaru told me that she had left me a red string, saying that the red string could tell me where she was.”

Shimizu Asahi explained softly, then took out a thin red string and murmured with some regret, "It's just that a month has passed, and I still don't know how to use this red string."

"Is that so... She left Suzuka Mountain to find you? The only thing she left behind was this red... Hmm? Isn't this my red string?"

The Goddess of Fate wanted to sigh, but she froze the moment she saw the red rope.

The red string in Shimizu Asahi's hand is a red string of fate, a symbol of destiny.

It is a red thread that only she can embody, representing the bond between them.

"Your Lord of Fate?"

The black-haired boy suddenly recalled a scene from long ago... In that shrine, a red rope connected her and his hearts together.

"Could it be... that this is the red thread connecting me and Reiko!?"

His dark eyes gleamed, and he excitedly muttered to himself, "That's it, that's it! Only the red thread that links us can tell me Lingzi's location!"

"How could I not have thought of that!"

"Thank you, Goddess of Fate... Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, it might have taken me a very long time to find Reiko. But now... thank you so much."

When he set sail, he was prepared for a long battle, whether it was one year, two years, or even ten years, he would have no regrets. But he did not expect that he would find the most crucial clue here.

Lord Enmusubi, truly a lucky star for him and Reiko. Chapter 415 (Chapter 412): Reiko... she's dead!?

"Eh?"

The word of thanks left the Goddess of Fate momentarily stunned. Then she snapped out of it, raised her head high, and proudly boasted, "Haha, that's right! My red thread connects two hearts. As long as the longing continues, the red thread will never break."

"No matter where the other person is, they can guide each other to find one another!"

"My luck is truly amazing!"

"Yes, Lord Enmusubi is a very powerful deity."

The black-haired boy sincerely admired the power of the Goddess of Fate and looked at her expectantly, "Goddess of Fate, can you tell me where Reiko is now?"

"Of course!"

The triumphant goddess proudly accepted, took the red rope, and poured her remaining divine power into it.

"I'll tell you right now where Reiko is!"

The adorable goddess, who was squandering her remaining divine power and feeling quite smug because of a compliment from Shimizu Asahi, was full of confidence. However, she failed to notice something very important.

The red thread is the embodiment of fate. It represents each other's beliefs and love. As long as this longing and affection remain unchanged, the red thread will never change. Even if someone cuts the red thread, their feelings will become the power of the red thread, keeping them together.

Because Shimizu Asahi traveled through time, he lost three hundred years of his life, so his relationship with Reiko was temporarily severed.

However, when Shimizu Asahi returns to this time and space, his longing comes into contact with the red rope, and the red rope should immediately react and guide him to find Reiko.

But why has the red rope shown no reaction since we set off from Suzuka Mountain?

Unaware of this crucial issue, Enmusubi diligently searched for Reiko's whereabouts, while Shimizu Asahi waited expectantly and somewhat nervously, and Ibuki and the other two squinted, their hearts filled with turmoil.

Time passed by little by little, and before long, three minutes had quietly gone by.

The expression of the God of Fate changed over time, from initial pride and confidence to panic and confusion, and finally, even a hint of fear appeared.

She seemed to have discovered something, but she couldn't believe the answer. She could only keep pouring in divine power and anxiously mutter to herself, "How could this be... how could this be? This shouldn't be happening. Could it be that I haven't used my divine power for too long, so I made a mistake?"

"Try again, this time it'll definitely work... That's impossible..."

The tension and murmurs of the God of Fate caused subtle changes in the expressions of the other four people in the room.

Shimizu Asahi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Um... Lady Enmusubi, is Reiko in some kind of trouble?"

"No! Absolutely not! Trust me, Chaoyang! I will find Lingzi!"

Seemingly realizing that her face looked a little anxious, Enmusubi immediately put on the confident look she had at the beginning and patted her chest to indicate that there was no problem.

However, the God of Fate seemed to be clueless about acting, and her pretense was so obvious that it was immediately seen through by Shimizu Asahi.

The black-haired boy realized that Reiko... seemed to be in real danger.

He couldn't help but frown; as a husband, the necessary emotions of tension and worry quietly crept in.

He sat up straight, a little nervous, wanting to ask what had happened, but before he could speak, he noticed that the God of Fate seemed... even more nervous than him.

The best way to relieve tension is to see someone who is more nervous than you. As a result, the tense Shimizu Asahi suddenly became less nervous.

He even comforted the God of Fate with a slightly amused expression.

"Lord Enmusubi, don't be nervous. We can talk about it slowly. Even if Reiko is in trouble, we don't need to be anxious."

"She is stronger than we thought."

The gentle voice reached the ears of the deity. This voice seemed to contain an unknown power, and the God of Fate, who had been in a state of panic without realizing it, was quietly calmed down under the soothing sound of the voice.
