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

"This is.....?"

A look of astonishment flashed in Ali's eyes; she couldn't understand why the street had become like this. But... she didn't panic, even as this perplexing scene unfolded before her eyes.

Because in the next moment, astonishment turned into joy.

A figure appeared in the narrow intersection.

The dark shadows obscured his face, and Ali couldn't see his features, but she knew that the person she was waiting for had arrived.

"Are you OK?"

A worried voice reached his ears. He gently squatted down in front of her, his dark eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at her.

"fine."

The girl laughed, as if nothing had happened.

"That's good... Although I have a lot to say, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go back first."

"Ah."

She responded softly, and then Ali tried to get up. However, as soon as she moved her foot, a piercing pain immediately came over her.

My gaze unconsciously wandered, and then, the bloody foot came into view.

From dawn to dusk, Ali hadn't rested for a moment. Her slender feet had become slightly uncomfortable from wandering around for so long. When night fell, in order to run faster, she threw away her wooden clogs and ran barefoot. Her feet rubbed against the ground, and her tender skin began to bleed slowly.

During her escape, she didn't notice the pain in her feet. Now that she's relaxed, she realizes that her feet are injured.

"this....."

Ali frowned; with her foot deformed like this, she couldn't walk back...

Just as she was feeling distressed, a voice reached her ears.

"Let me carry you." Chapter 125, Section 128: The Perilous Genji Clan Faces Another Crisis

In the quiet alley, the clear water and the morning sun speak softly.

He noticed the girl's bleeding feet and understood her predicament, so he reached out his hand.

"Hey, is it okay?" The sound that entered her ears made the girl's face light up with joy; the pleasant voice carried a hint of surprise.

"You can't get back like this."

Shimizu Asahi smiled, then turned his back and said, "Come on up."

"Ok!"

With a happy response, Ali squinted and leaned against his back, her slender arms gently encircling his neck.

The girl didn't mind at all; she tried her best to get as close to the boy as possible.

Seeing the girl lie down, Shimizu Asahi also reached out and supported the girl's thigh.

However, he stiffened slightly when his palm touched his skin.

This was the first time he had touched a girl's thigh...they were touching each other without any distinction of who was the other, without any clothes to cover them.

The clear water and the rising sun stirred something within me.

This is not an evil thought, but simply the normal emotion a man should feel when he touches a woman.

Fortunately, he quickly suppressed his heart palpitations, gently lifted the girl, and hurried away from there.

Qingshui Chaoyang planned to carry A-Li back to the hotel.

Asahi's inn is on this street; he only needs to walk a few steps to get there.

Before long, Shimizu Asahi returned to the hotel.

Naturally, the hotel was now completely empty.

The Genji's magic was incredibly powerful. The monsters living in Kyohara Castle were just small or ordinary monsters, powerless to resist such magic. If I'm not mistaken, they should have been controlled as well.

'Hopefully the curse will be broken soon...'

With that thought in mind, Shimizu Asahi carried Ari into his room. He carefully put her down and said, "Rest for a while, I'll go get the medicine."

After saying that, he left the room.

Although the hotel is not large, it has everything you need.

Soon, Shimizu Asahi returned to the room.

However, he also had three extra things in his hands: herbs, gauze, and hot water for washing.

After placing the found herbs and gauze aside, Qing Shui Chao Yang placed hot water at the girl's feet.

He looked down at the girl and asked softly, "Can you do it yourself? If not, I can help you."

"Hmm... I can do it myself, thank you."

Ali was silent for a moment, then smiled and accepted the towel.

Although she was very tired, she was not so exhausted that she couldn't even treat the injury on her foot.

"That's good. I'll go grind the medicine for you."

The boy smiled gently, and then began grinding the medicine.

There weren't many herbs, and Qing Shui Chao Yang quickly processed them. While he was grinding them, Ali also cleaned her bloodied feet.

He then applied the herbs to the gauze and handed it to Ali. The girl took the gauze and skillfully bandaged the wound herself.

"That's all right now." After doing all this, Shimizu Asahi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then he continued, "You stay here with me, I have some things to do and need to go out for a bit."

Perhaps worried that Ali might be afraid to be alone, he added, "Don't worry, it's safe here. Nothing will happen."

Ali didn't ask him what he was going to do, but just smiled and assured him that she would stay here obediently.

After receiving the assurance, Shimizu Asahi left the hotel.

He went out this time to find Shimizu Mio.

Before fighting Minamoto no Saneyoshi, Aonobo told him that Shimizu Mio had disappeared since she was attacked. Before rushing to help him, she circled the port but still found nothing. Therefore, she was worried that Shimizu Mio was in danger.

After killing Minamoto no Saneyoshi, Aonobo hoped that Shimizu Asahi would go find Shimizu Mio first, but Shimizu Asahi refused with a smile.

He was not worried about Shimizu Mio's safety.

Tamamo-no-Mae once told him that Shimizu Mio was stronger than 'her' and that there were very few people in the world who could pose a threat to her.

Therefore, no matter how many troops the Genji sent, they could not possibly harm Shimizu Mio.

However, Shimizu Mio hadn't returned for a long time, and Shimizu Asahi was somewhat concerned, so he came out again.

Stepping onto the cold street, the black-haired boy quickly ran towards the dock, and with his slightly hurried steps, he soon arrived at the shore.

The mist on the shore had disappeared at some point, and the wide shore was once again revealed in its entirety. Standing at the highest point, the clear water and the rising sun offered a panoramic view.

Almost instantly, he spotted a familiar figure.

"elder sister."

Not far away, Shimizu Mio, dressed in a light-colored yukata, stood quietly.

Shimizu Asahi quickly ran to the black-haired girl's side and asked with concern, "Are you alright, sister?"

A familiar voice reached her ears, and the girl instinctively turned her head to look at the figure running towards her. She smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I've finished here."

"it's over?"

The sudden words made Shimizu Asahi blink in confusion.

"You see, Otahara has already been given a good scolding by your sister."

The girl gently raised her hand, her slender arm pointing towards the dock.

Following the movement of the jade finger, a motionless 'corpse' soon came into view.

"Ah, I forgot about this..." Shimizu Asahi realized, rubbing his head. How could he have forgotten about Otahara?

In this incident, the Genji clan is undoubtedly the culprit, and Shimizu Asahi will never forgive their evil deeds. However, besides the Genji clan, there is another villain—Otahara.

He was the direct trigger, the guilty one who caused this calamity.

The people of Xingyuan hunted down Ari because they were controlled by the Genji, but the one who planted the seed that made them controlled by the Genji was Otahara.

Shimizu Asahi sensed that Otahara was not being controlled by the Genji; he made this decision based on his own will.

He needs to be punished as he deserves... The lesson of Shimizu Mio is not enough for him to make up for the losses suffered by the people of Kyohara!

He gently tightened his grip and squinted his eyes.

However, he quickly looked away and told his sister about Genji's plan. After explaining the whole story, he said, "Sister, do you have a way to break Genji's spell?"

"The Genji?" Shimizu Mio frowned instinctively, a hint of surprise flashing in her dark eyes. She hadn't expected that this incident was once again related to the Genji...

But the next moment, anger welled up from within.

It's the Genji again... Last time they injured Asahiro, and she barely managed to suppress her anger. Now they're at it again... She really needs to think carefully... to consider whether this clan still has any reason to exist!

Shimizu Asahi is Shimizu Mio's only weakness; anyone who lays a hand on him will suffer her endless wrath!

P.S.: Haha, I'm sure I can update three chapters today!

Chapter 126, Section 129: Shimizu Mio: Another thief is trying to seduce my little brother!

Three days have passed since the Xingyuan incident ended.

Three nights ago, Shimizu Asahi killed Minamoto no Saneyoshi, thwarting the Minamoto clan's plan and breaking the Minamoto clan's curse, restoring the people of Kyohara to normalcy. At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Kamo no Tadayuki, asking him to take over the matter.

Early the next morning, Kamo no Tadashi arrived at Kyohara.

After learning what had happened, he solemnly declared that he would make Genji pay the price.

He then immediately rushed back to Heian-kyo.

He wanted to deliver a devastating counterattack before Genji could react!

On the third day, Shimizu Asahi worked with the Onmyoji in the Onmyo-ryo (Yin-Yang Bureau) to build temporary houses for the people of Kyohara.

Whatever his reasons, the storm that destroyed Xingyuan was started by him, so this was something he had to do.
