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

The moment the sash was untied, the purplish-red robe fell to the ground without any obstruction.

The next second, her ivory-white skin was exposed to the air without any concealment.

And at that very moment, a faint pink scent began to permeate the air...

Although Ibuki's figure was somewhat lacking, her charm was in no way inferior to that of Aonobo.

That petite and adorable loli-like figure, coupled with an alluring sensuality emanating from her very bones, is like a sinful fragrance that no one can resist.

At least, during the few days he lived with Ibuki, Shimizu Asahi absolutely forbade her from taking off her clothes.

He was afraid that he would lose control and do something he would regret for the rest of his life.

Upon seeing this, the blue-haired girl beside her involuntarily widened her eyes and almost instinctively shouted, "What are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?" The girl blinked when she heard the question, then looked down at her body, which was almost completely exposed to the air, and said, "It's obvious, I'm taking off my clothes."

"...I'm asking you why you suddenly took off your clothes."

"Oh, this is because it's troublesome to remove demonic energy while wearing clothes, so I took them off. Anyway, you're a girl, so it doesn't matter."

The Ghost King smiled charmingly, walked up to the girl, and placed her slender, fair hand on her clothes.

"Hehehe...Come, take off your clothes too, let me see your injuries."

“…”

Although she didn't know what Ibuki Doji was thinking, she could only go along with it for now...

Just now, because she didn't want to give up the opportunity to change her medicine, she said "ordinary great demon" to Ibuki-dōji. If she didn't know Ibuki-dōji's true identity, saying this would be normal, but the problem is that she revealed the information that "she knows Ibuki's true identity" from the very beginning.

To say such things when you know Ibuki-dōji has the ability to remove your demonic power... Ibuki-dōji probably already sensed that something was wrong.

Therefore, she must be even more careful in her next actions, and must not let Ibuki-dōji notice anything amiss.

Thinking this, Qingnvfang sighed softly to herself, and then untied her yukata and bandages.

His perfectly white body and hideous, terrifying wounds were suddenly exposed to Ibuki-dōji.

"Oh dear, that's quite a serious injury." The girl chuckled as she looked at the gruesome wound.

Qing Nufang let out a soft breath, trying to regain her composure, and then asked, "How can I cooperate with you?"

"Cooperate? Heh... no need."

At some point, the Ghost King placed one of his hands on Qing Nufang's wound. She chuckled softly, and then, a pale purple demonic power emerged.

Ibuki-dōji's demonic power obeyed his master's will and covered Aonōbu's wound. Then, the foxfire demonic power wrapped around the wound began to melt away rapidly, like snow in spring.

In just two or three seconds, the foxfire demonic power disappeared, and a feeling of ease swept over the girl's entire body.

Feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her body, Qing Nufang blinked, her expression somewhat astonished.

Is that all?

Didn't you just say that removing the demonic energy would be very troublesome and that your injuries were serious?

"Hehehe... Don't worry about it so much, little guy."

Seeing the astonished girl, the girl smiled charmingly.

As if by magic, she took out two wine bowls and placed them in front of herself and Qing Nufang. Then, she took out a jar of fine wine and filled the wine bowls.

"Come, drink up. The wine from Mount Ooe is a real treasure. No matter how bad your injuries are, just one sip will heal you."

"drink wine?"

Looking at the wine bowl in front of her, Qing Nufang couldn't help but frown.

For the demons of Mount Ooe, sake might be a panacea, but for her, sake was just sake.

This stuff not only doesn't cure all ailments, it will also irritate her wounds and delay her recovery... For now, she should stay away from alcohol.

As the Demon King of Mount Oe, Ibuki-dōji should be well aware of this fact, so why did she still ask me to drink?

"What do you want to do?" The girl narrowed her eyes, a hint of wariness appearing in her light yellow pupils as she looked at the girl.

"Don't be nervous, little one." The girl picked up the red wine bowl and said with a light laugh, "I'm not lying to you, this wine really can help you recover from your injuries."

"But with so much wine, it would be too boring to just drink it all in one go."

"so....."

"Would you like to chat with me for a while?"

"Just you and me, the two of us."

The words, like the whispers of a demon, reached her ears, and the girl's body involuntarily trembled.

The momentary vigilance turned into tension.

What does Ibuki-doji mean by this? Why does she want to talk to me alone? Did she notice something?

Wait, does that mean she saw through my plan to escape with Shimizu Asahi?

People with a guilty conscience are very sensitive to what others say; anything that can be connected to themselves will make them uneasy and anxious.

The current Qingnvfang is the one with a guilty conscience.

Having already revealed a slight flaw, Ibuki-dōji asked her to speak alone, and she almost instinctively thought of the most dangerous possibility.

No, that's not right. My flaws aren't that big. No matter how smart Ibuki-dōji is, he couldn't possibly see through my intentions based on just these things.

Stay calm, you must stay calm...

Her slender hands gripped and released repeatedly, and only after several repetitions did the girl manage to suppress all the shock and fear in her heart.

She frowned, a hint of confusion in her voice, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hehe... Of course, we're talking about the old man."

The Ghost King answered matter-of-factly.

"Although you have met me before, unfortunately, I don't remember you. So, the only thing we can talk about is you, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Qing Nufang's slender hands clenched into fists, and the worst possible scenario resurfaced in her mind.

'Have we really been discovered?!'

A slight tremor of fear surfaced, and the girl subconsciously began to think about what to do.

But the next moment, the Ghost King spoke again.

She narrowed her eyes, looking at her with an interrogative gaze, and said:

"Qingnufang, have you also fallen for the master?" Chapter 71: My intuition is quite accurate.

Upon hearing the words, the girl, who was in a state of panic and fear, suddenly froze.

She blinked, and for the first time ever, a look of blankness appeared on her usually indifferent and aloof face.

After a moment, she reacted and let out a slightly loud "Ha!" Then, in a tone of incomprehension, she asked, "Why would you ask that?"

"Why... um, because that's what my intuition tells me." The Ghost King thought for a moment, then tilted his head and asked, "Isn't that right?"

"no!"

The girl firmly denied it without hesitation.

"I stay by his side only because I owe him a life. Once I repay that life, I will leave him."

"And ultimately, I hate people..."

When she mentioned humans, Qingnvfang suddenly paused. She had almost forgotten that Shimizu Asahi was not human.

She pursed her lips, organized her thoughts, and continued, "Even half-demon are not within my purview."

Hearing the girl's resolute words, the petite ghost king smiled with some pleasure.

"Oh, that's wonderful! Hehehe... I thought you were going to try and steal my husband away from me."

"You're overthinking it." The girl gently closed her eyes, indicating that she had no such intentions.

However, the moment she closed her eyes, Qing Nufang involuntarily clenched her hands.

'...As expected, Ibuki-dōji has taken a liking to Shimizu Asahi!'

The Ghost King's words confirmed her suspicions without a trace.

This monster truly coveted his body!

"Am I overthinking this...?" The Ghost King picked up his wine bowl, drank the fine wine with great pleasure, and said, "I was just wondering what I should do if you also fell in love with you, Master."

“If I kill you directly, the master will be angry, but if I let you stay by the master’s side, I will be unhappy... Now it’s all right, I don’t have to worry anymore.”

"To be honest, I'm still a little unhappy. You're being taken such good care of by the master..."

At this point, Ibuki revealed a hint of envy.

"I also wish to be cared for by you, sir, after I am injured..."

"Oh, right, right, what do you think? How about I pretend to be injured? As long as I make it look convincing, Master shouldn't be able to tell."

Upon learning that Aonoboshi disliked Shimizu Asahi, Ibuki-dōji acted as if he had received countless magnificent treasures, happily chatting about these trivial topics.

Looking at that childlike, innocent smile, if one didn't know Ibuki-douji's true nature, Aonobo would probably think that she genuinely liked Shimizu Asahi.

"It doesn't matter how you do it... If you want to, then go ahead and do it."

While pondering how to escape the demon's lair with Shimizu Asahi, the girl also engaged in irrelevant conversations with Ibuki Doji.

Based on the conversation just now, the monster's attention should no longer be on her. Although it was a bit dangerous, the result was good.

If she can broaden her thinking a little, her success rate will be higher.

"Hmm, this is not something that doesn't matter..." The Ghost King began to struggle. "Although it is nice to enjoy your care, I also want to go out and play with you... It's such a difficult choice."

"Never mind, I'll think about it when I rest tonight. I'm not used to making decisions."

After pondering for a while without making a decision, Ibuki-dōji decisively postponed the question.

She took a sip of the clear, fine wine, and then turned her gaze to the girl in front of her.

"Well, Qingnufang, since you know me, you must know me too... At least, you should know my hobbies and habits, right?"

"Hmm? Hmm." The girl nodded calmly in response to the Ghost King's words.
