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

Perhaps because of her mother's attitude just now, she didn't let Shimizu Asahi introduce himself to her mother. Instead, she talked about him and proudly said, "This is my younger brother."

Unfortunately, no matter how much she said, the Lord of the Underworld before her showed no emotion whatsoever, nor did he glance at Qing Shui Chaoyang, as if he didn't care at all.

This behavior undoubtedly bored Shimizu Mio. She had said so much, but her mother remained completely unresponsive, without even showing the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Shimizu Mio glanced furtively at the rising sun behind her, clenched her fists, and prepared to continue speaking.

No matter what, we must not let our mother ignore the rising sun.

But just as she was about to continue speaking, a clear voice echoed in the room.

Mio Shimizu, and even Asahi Shimizu, who was sitting quietly in the back, were all drawn to the sound.

They saw that Izanami had somehow acquired a pipe, and the crisp sound was the sound of the pipe touching the tobacco box.

"You human over there, get out!"

A cold, clear voice suddenly came over, just like before, without any emotion or fluctuation, as if it were simply stating a fact.

However, Shimizu Mio, realizing what was happening, slammed her hand on the table, ready to have a serious talk with her mother. But before she could finish speaking, Shimizu Asahi's voice came from behind her.

“Then I will wait outside, Lady Izanami.”

Without saying a word, the boy quietly got up, looked at his sister who had turned around, gave her a gentle smile, and then moved his lips.

Then, they left.

They reached out and closed the wooden door, and soon, Shimizu Asahi's figure disappeared from their sight.

With a 'snap', the wooden door closed, and Shimizu Mio took a deep breath before looking at her mother with displeasure.

"Mother, what exactly do you mean? Chaoyang is my younger brother. I brought him here to see you. Aren't you making him unhappy by doing this?"

"call......"

She took a puff of her pipe and gave a calm and indifferent reply from the exquisitely terrifying beauty.

"What does it matter to me if he's unhappy? Even if you're unhappy, what can you do about it?"

"..."

A single, casual remark left Shimizu Mio speechless.

That's right, what can Shimizu Asahi do if she's unhappy? What can she do if she's unhappy?

This is the land of the dead, the territory of Izanami. Even the legendary lord of Takamagahara has to bow his head here!

She didn't need to care about the opinions of ordinary people at all!

"Even so, he's still my brother. Can't Mother give me even a little bit..."

Shimizu Mio seemed to be about to say something, but before she could speak, a voice rudely interrupted her.

"Hmph, although I don't need to care about that human's moods, but... well, you're right, I do care about my feelings for you."

With a change of heart, Izanami looked at her daughter.

However, unlike the gentleness and tenderness of an ordinary mother, Izanami's face was filled with a terrifying, dark, and chilling expression.

It was as if...a hunter had spotted its prey! Chapter 835: A mere human being

"What's there to say about my affairs!"

Without pupils, the eyes, like those of a dead person, were filled with endless threat. Even though Shimizu Mio was powerful, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. So, she turned her head away and said this with some lack of confidence.

"Moreover, feelings seem utterly meaningless."

"Completely meaningless... is it?"

"Hmph, what a stubborn answer. Don't you like that human?"

"I never imagined that my daughter would fall in love with a penniless human! And such a frail human at that!"

"You handed the Yellow Spring Mirror to him, and even protected him with your divine power."

"It's hard to imagine that someone as similar to me in personality would be willing to go to such great lengths to protect someone."

The Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) is a symbol of Shimizu Mio's reign over Takamagahara as the lord of the gods, but no one knows that this symbol was originally intended as a divine artifact to suppress the River of the Dead.

In mythology, it is a divine artifact that suppresses filth and purifies darkness, thus protecting the Land of the Dead and preventing great calamities from occurring there. However, when Izanagi enfeoffed three noble sons to govern different places, Shimizu Mio came to the Land of the Dead. Originally, Izanami did not intend to see her, but Shimizu Mio looked so much like her, as if they were cut from the same mold, that she eventually let her out.

As a mother, Izanami gave the Yata no Kagami (a type of mirror) to Shimizu Mio upon their first meeting.

The reason why Shimizu Mio can enter and leave the Land of the Dead so easily is because of the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror).

At the same time, as her mother, Izanami knew very well how much Shimizu Mio valued Yata no Kagami, but it was precisely because she knew this that she was surprised.

His own daughter, who values ​​power above all else, would give the Yata no Kagami to a human!

He verbally tells the other person to treat him like a younger brother, but in reality, he's thinking about how to get into their bed...

Ah, women!

However, unlike her, her daughter, though harboring such thoughts, seemed to lack the courage to do anything to that human.

No... it wasn't that she lacked courage, but rather that she was afraid. She was afraid that if she did something, the man in front of her would show her a bad or unhappy expression.

In order to maintain this gentle atmosphere, Shimizu Mio is doing her best to keep her composure.

If Izanami were to say those words aloud, Shimizu Mio would probably instinctively show a look of astonishment.

Although Izanami is the ruler of the underworld, the ability to see through her heart so easily is absolutely terrifying.

However, Izanami did not express this thought aloud.

The Lord of the Underworld smiled, not with amusement or concern, but with a cold, predatory gaze.

“Amaterasu, as my daughter, I have shown you great leniency by allowing you to bring men into my palace and into my quarters... This is my love for you.”

"But this is my limit. If you want me to change my opinion of him, let him do something that will amaze me."

"If he can't even do this much, I won't acknowledge him."

"If you want him to call me mother, then let him try."

His words, rather than being filled with test and recognition, were more so filled with gloom, as if he wanted to see one more person in his underworld.

Even the Lord of Takamagahara felt immense pressure when he met his mother's gaze.

However, she was not defeated by such pressure.

Rather, her mother's words actually brought a slight sense of relief to her heart.

If his mother said that, it meant she was willing to give Chaoyang a chance. In any case, this was better than killing him outright. And as long as he could improve his mother's favor towards Chaoyang, the matter of Sun Wheel City could be resolved.

With this thought in mind, Shimizu Mio clenched her fist.

No matter what, we must ensure that Chaoyang gains his mother's approval.

As a great deity, she wouldn't really be so useless and ignorant.

The fact that her mother just said she would give her a chance to acknowledge her means that she would put her through a test, and as long as she passes the test... However, her mother's test is one that ordinary people would never be able to pass, and her mother probably wouldn't let her take action.

We need to think of a way...

However, as she pondered a solution, Izanami seemed to see through her thoughts and laughed again.

"Want to help that human? Hmph, you're so easy to understand, Amaterasu."

"But do you think you have that opportunity?"

"This is the land of the dead. Any help you offer will be known to me, and the moment I know, it will mean the end."

Do you understand?

"..."

Her smile was sinister and terrifying, and Shimizu Mio's heart sank involuntarily.

Damn it, I didn't think of this when I first entered... If that's really the case, then the only way Chaoyang might pass his mother's test is...

The black-haired girl couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Ha, don't worry, the test won't start so soon. So, let's talk about Amaterasu first."

"That human came here because of something...?"

"Those meaningless words can be discarded. I won't believe them, and I won't be fooled by you."

Just as Shimizu Mio was about to say something else, Izanami spoke first.

That faint, sinister smile and the aura it exuded sent shivers down one's spine.

"..."

Although Shimizu Mio used to think that her mother was much stronger than her, she didn't think she was that much worse. But now that she was truly facing her mother, she realized just how powerful this god who ruled the land of the dead really was.

They could even see right through her heart.

She even saw right through it, realizing that it was Shimizu Asahi who needed to talk to her, not the other way around.

However, this is for the best, since she had originally planned to be the one to say it anyway.

Without hesitation, Shimizu Mio recounted the entire story.

After hearing this, Izanami frowned.

"You mean, that human wanted an apology from me, so he came here on purpose?"

"Heh, heh heh... This is really interesting. In all these years, this is the first time I've heard something so interesting!"

"A human... a mere human? What right do you have to grant my decision, and what right do you have to demand my apology?" Chapter 836 Human, You Are Too Arrogant

After Shimizu Mio told Izanami what had happened, Izanami frowned, then burst into laughter. Her strange behavior made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

However, the words that followed were filled with unparalleled absolute domineering power.

Yes, she is a goddess, the one who created this earth and gave birth to many gods, the Mother Goddess of Creation.

Even Shimizu Mio, the lord of all gods, cannot compare to her.

Let alone the fact that it was merely her unintentional power that destroyed the City of the Sun, even if she had personally taken action to make the City of the Sun disappear, what difference would it make?

Who dares to say anything about her? Who can say anything about her?
