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

No, not to mention he's not even your follower, you didn't tell him you were coming yesterday, so he has no reason to wait for you...

Seeing the god's excited yet exhausted expression, Shimizu Asahi silently stopped himself from having any thoughts.

...Never mind, I'll stop complaining.

"Then, Your Majesty, please don't be in a hurry. Try to recover your condition a bit. After you finish eating, I'll use Yin-Yang magic to help you get better."

"Really? Thank you, Chaoyang!"

Enmusubi quickly finished her breakfast and then asked Shimizu Asahi to help her get rid of her fatigue. With the help of Onmyo magic, she was fully revived once again. Then, she couldn't wait to pull Shimizu Asahi towards Kidomaru's house.

"Sister, Ibuki, Lord Enmusubi and I will head out now."

"Well, be careful on the road."

After saying "I'm going out" to her older sister and Ibuki, the two stepped onto the street and headed towards their destination without hesitation.

Traveling quickly, the two arrived in the north from the south of Heian-kyo in just over ten minutes.

Arriving at Kidomaru's house once again, Shimizu Asahi knocked on the door, said "Excuse me," and then walked into the house.

Seeing him go in without waiting for a response, Yuanjie Shen couldn't help but tug at his sleeve, saying with a hint of concern, "Um... Chaoyang, isn't it a bit impolite for us to just go in like this?"

"Don't worry, Lady Enmusubi, nothing will happen. It's always like this when I come here."

They gave the deity a reassuring look, and then the two of them skillfully made their way from the front yard to the back yard.

After turning the last corner, the courtyard came into view, and there sat Kidomaru, drinking tea alone under the eaves.

"Kidomaru."

The sound came from the side, quietly breaking the tranquility of the courtyard. The red-haired boy who was drinking tea alone subconsciously turned his head.

"Chaoyang, it's been a long time."

The appearance of the black-haired boy startled Kidomaru slightly, but soon, a genuinely gentle smile appeared on Kidomaru's face.

He seemed quite happy to see his dear friend whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, the figure of the God of Fate entered his field of vision.

"Lord Fate God?"

"What are you doing...?"

Kidomaru looked at the two of them with confusion, seemingly not quite understanding what was going on.

"Um... what happened yesterday was actually a misunderstanding."

Shimizu Asahi sat down next to Kidomaru and explained her relationship with Enmusubi. Kidomaru, upon learning of the coincidence, exclaimed in surprise.

This... the deity I encountered yesterday was actually Sister Chaoyang's friend... What a coincidence!

Thank goodness I didn't kill her yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face Chaoyang today.

"By the way, we did come here today for another reason."

After glancing at the Goddess of Marriage out of the corner of his eye, Shimizu Asahi leaned close to Kidomaru's ear and told him his purpose. Then, he whispered a plea: "I know you don't like gods, so I won't force you to become a follower of the Goddess of Marriage. However, when you refuse... um, I hope you can be a little gentler." Chapter 430, Section 427: The Asura Demon Bloodline Awakens!?

Kidomaru glanced discreetly at Enmusubi, his pale yellow eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Being gentle is fine, but is she sure she wants me to become her follower?"

Didn't you tell me anything about me?

"I told her, but Lord Enmusubi said he didn't care."

The black-haired boy opened his palm and looked at his friend with a slightly helpless expression: "She said you're a good kid and will definitely become her follower."

Last night, after much hesitation, Shimizu Asahi finally told Enmusubi about Kidomaru's bloodline and bloodlust, reminding her that Kidomaru would not become anyone's believer, and that no matter what she said, it would be useless.

However, the god of destiny didn't seem to care and said it didn't matter, and was confident that he could make him a believer.

Having reached this point, Shimizu Asahi could no longer persuade him and could only give a wry smile, allowing Kidomaru to refuse on his own.

Anyway, he had no idea where the God of Fate's confidence came from.

"I see... This deity is quite confident."

"I understand, I'll be more tactful."

"Thank you so much." Shimizu Asahi smiled and nodded, then stood up and looked at the simple-minded god beside him, saying, "Lord Enmusubi, I have already spoken with Kidomaru. As for what to do next, you can decide for yourselves."

"Leave it to me! I won't let you down!"

Enmusubi, who had been excited since last night, spoke loudly with great energy, while Kidomaru on the cushion smiled gently.

Shimizu Asahi nodded silently and quietly withdrew from the backyard.

What happens next is none of his business; he has done what he was supposed to do.

but......

"They probably won't reach an agreement so quickly, will they?"

Kidomaru wouldn't agree to become a believer, and Enmusubi wouldn't give up easily either. Their conversation might go on for a long time, so he should think about what he should do before they reach an agreement.

"It's not that I can't just space out by myself, but I can't concentrate outside of the courtyard... Oh well, I'll take this opportunity to look at the map my teacher gave me again."

Unable to figure out what to do, the black-haired boy finally decided to find a quiet place to review the map.

Although he had memorized the map and marked locations, it was never too much to prepare for something so important.

Without further instructions or clues, this was all he could do.

Moreover, it's not all for naught; you might just stumble upon some new intelligence unintentionally.

If he really does find a new clue like a flash of inspiration, then he'll hit the jackpot.

Therefore... following the path in his memory, Shimizu Asahi walked out of the courtyard and then turned into Kidomaru's study.

If you were to ask where the quietest place in Kidomaru's house is, it would undoubtedly be the study. There's no wind, no insects chirping, and it's so quiet you can hear your own heartbeat.

Upon arriving, he skillfully sat down at the desk, but...

Looking at the mess on the table, he smiled helplessly.

"Still doesn't like tidying up."

Kidomaru has a carefree personality and always seems indifferent to everything, even in front of others. Therefore, he naturally refuses to deal with tedious tasks like tidying up.

Yes, just like clear water and the rising sun.

However, unlike Shimizu Asahi, he does not have an older sister.

In the past, no matter how careless Shimizu Asahi was, she always had her older sister to help her, but Kidomaru ended up having to do it all by himself.

After all, the master can't possibly help him clean up after he grows up.

"Since I've borrowed your desk, I'll tidy it up for you."

Shimizu Asahi rarely reached out his palm to tidy up Kidomaru's messy desk.

He carefully organized all the books on his desk—books on Yin and Yang, illustrated records, novels, biographies—and in no time, the desk looked brand new.

"Hmm, that's much cleaner."

The black-haired boy, extremely satisfied with his actions, nodded proudly and prepared to begin his work. But then, he suddenly noticed a corner of a piece of paper covered in ink that had entered his field of vision.

"what is this?"

The sudden appearance of the paper piqued his curiosity. Shimizu Asahi took out the book containing the paper and then turned to that page.

Then, characters that looked like scribbles appeared before his eyes.

"what is this?"

"picture?"

A hint of doubt flickered in his dark eyes as Shimizu Asahi subconsciously looked at the peculiar white paper.

The pattern on this paper looks like... a word?

Although the font was distorted and the characters overlapped, the moment he saw this twisted pattern, an answer involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

--kill!

The moment the word "kill" appeared, a dense and powerful, terrifying killing intent emanated from the paper, like a rising tide or falling rain from white clouds, instantly swallowing up the clear water and the rising sun!

"That murderous aura... Kidomaru!?"

The familiar yet chilling aura stimulated his nerves, and the cold and ruthless power stirred his heart. His most primal desires, hidden deep within him, even wavered slightly!

"The same aura as when I entered the Ghost Realm... even stronger and more terrifying than before... The murderous intent contained in just a piece of paper makes my heart tremble. What is this...?"

The black-haired boy trembled involuntarily. How could his best friend suddenly possess such terrifying killing intent?

"Could it be... that the Asura demon bloodline is about to be uncontrollable?"

A terrifying thought quietly surfaced in his mind. He didn't know if it was because Kidomaru had already connected with the Shura Demon bloodline, or if the killing intent was too fierce. As he subconsciously thought about it, Shimizu Asahi instinctively thought of this idea.

Once this thought arises, it cannot be erased.

A killing intent even more terrifying than that of the Asura Oni Kidomaru that we faced in the Ghost Realm... Only a stronger Asura Oni bloodline could possess such a killing intent!

Kidomaru's Asura Demon bloodline is awakening continuously!

"..."

"No, no, calm down. Kidomaru is fine now. He has no urge to kill. His bloodline has not exceeded his capacity."

"Even if Kidomaru can suppress his true nature temporarily, he will still have to endure the torment of killing desires until the Asura Demon bloodline is completely resolved. So it's normal to release pressure in this way, and we shouldn't be too nervous."

"A piece of paper doesn't prove anything."

After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, Shimizu Asahi calmed down.

However, after calming down, he rubbed his temples and didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he squinted and thought for a while before turning the pages of the book in his hand one by one.

The papers flipped rapidly, black eyes scanning the page constantly. Soon, one identical sheet after another emerged from the book... Chapter 428, Section 431: I Should Burn Them All

After finishing reading all the novels and biographies, Shimizu Asahi picked up other books, and sure enough, there were also some such papers hidden in the other books.

However, the font and depth on the paper are completely different.
