The affection and warmth the Kujo family gave her were all fake...
Even if she didn't want to believe it, these were all images given to her by the General, and the General wouldn't deceive her, a monster.
"Hmph." Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes. She knew nothing about these things. Newly born demons are like blank sheets of paper. They are easily deceived by those with ulterior motives. Many demons take the promises and feelings of those with ulterior motives as their life's goal or the meaning of their existence.
Therefore, she hates these beasts who exploit monsters the most.
Rumble rumble rumble—
Streaks of lightning streaked across the sky above Narukami Island, striking the heads of the Sanbō-kyō family members with deadly black marks.
This is the 'mark of sin and punishment', which only the most wicked people who are rejected by the gods will have. Currently, only a very small number of drug lords, financial tycoons, warmongers, and so on from the old era who have not been purged have this mark.
"Kamito siblings, the exile will be overseen by your Kamisato family. Make sure they all leave Narukami Island and never return."
"All their property shall be confiscated and turned over to the national treasury. Innocent people shall be demoted to commoners and their descendants shall be barred from participating in politics and economics for generations."
Raiden's voice echoed throughout Narukami Island, making it clear to all the Inazuma people.
"We will obey the General's orders." Ayato and Ayaka Kamisato stood up and said respectfully in unison.
He was incredibly excited, but also still felt lingering fear. Fortunately, the Kamisato family had always been maintaining the livelihood of the Inazuma people; otherwise, the consequences wouldn't have been much better than those guys.
"You two did a good job." Raiden nodded appreciatively. They were destined to become fifth-tier heroes, the backbone of Inazuma.
"The Inari people call you 'White Heron Princess', is that right?"
"This...this is just a nickname everyone uses, General." Ayaka Kamisato explained in a panic, her face turning pale. The term 'Princess White Heron' has two meanings: one is a noblewoman from a prominent family, and the other is the daughter of Inazuma Goddess.
“Don’t be nervous. Since your people address you this way, I will officially bestow upon you the title of ‘White Heron Princess’ of Inazuma,” Raiden Shin said with a smile.
"Eh..." Ayaka Kamisato was stunned. After regaining her senses, her cheeks turned red, and her heart felt like a deer was about to jump out of her chest.
The general bestowed the title of 'princess' upon her; does this mean he's taking her as his 'adopted daughter'?
Ayato Kamisato took a deep breath. If he knew a few modern words, he would probably have just blurted out "Holy shit!"
……
at the same time.
A momentous event is unfolding in Xia Kingdom that is affecting the nerves of countries all over the world, an event even more significant than the fall of two islands into the Pacific Ocean in East Asia.
At this moment, representatives from all over the world gathered in the capital city of Xia.
This place has changed drastically since the arrival of the superhumans. Although most of the buildings remain the same, some larger buildings have been added, all of which are designed for superhumans.
Covering an area larger than three Olympic venues, it can accommodate millions of people at once, while the central arena is larger than thirty Bird's Nest stadiums. This arena is specially provided for fourth-tier superhumans, and even fifth-tier superhumans can spar here. However, no battles of fifth-tier or higher have been held here yet.
The power of a fifth-tier superhuman is simply too great; even the entire arena could not support two fifth-tier superhumans engaging in combat at will.
The place was packed with extraordinary individuals from all over the world. Only those with a 'Holy Mark' were qualified to enter; the 'Holy Mark' was the ticket.
"This is incredible! No wonder it's the most prosperous country. They're about to produce a sixth-tier transcendent being without a word. It's said that after announcing it to the gods, the transcendent will be promoted under their watchful eyes!"
"Yes, there are only about twenty fifth-tier individuals in the whole world, and now there are sixth-tier individuals."
"Sigh, although the birth of a legendary sixth-order being is exciting, it doesn't come from Europe."
"Yes, I thought Lady Irene would be the first to reach the sixth rank, after all, she is the reincarnation of Archangel Cherubim of Eden."
"Most of the world's fifth-tier superhumans have come, and even fourth-tier leaders from various countries around the world have arrived."
"Most of them? Why not all of them come to witness?"
"Fool, the world has seen Fallen Ones. If those rats don't lose their minds and run away, they'll be hard to find. We'll definitely have to leave some high-level superhumans to guard them."
"That's true. Sigh, I've also encountered Fallen Ones, but they were only Tier 1. They actually fought me, a late Tier 2, to a standstill. I almost lost."
"Those damned, evil bastards, instead of improving their minds and doing good deeds, they insist on taking crooked paths."
"That's right. The power obtained from demons has already been priced by the demons. Tsk tsk, they become neither human nor ghost, and eventually lose their minds and go completely mad, pouncing on any superhuman they see."
"Look, isn't that the Wudang Mountain Sect Master, Zhong Qingxuan, who is ranked 27th and is among the top 50 extraordinary beings in Xia Kingdom, and is at the late stage of the fourth level?"
"Behind him is Chen Sihangdao, who is ranked 49th among the top 50 and is at the early stage of the fourth rank."
"Not only that, there's also Zhao Guoli, the leader of the number one civilian monster hunting group in Xia Kingdom, the 'Dragon Guard Monster Hunting Group,' who is ranked 17th in Xia Kingdom's extraordinary ranks and is at the peak of the fourth tier. He just returned from the British dungeon!"
"I heard from the bottom of the heart that Commander Zhao and Taoist Master Chen are very good friends, and it seems that this is indeed true."
"Look what's behind Grandpa Zhong!"
"Hiss... The country has long announced that various mythical beasts and strange creatures have been born in the famous mountains and rivers of our Xia Kingdom. They all have intelligence higher than humans. This is the first time I've ever seen them."
"Its body is like a fierce tiger, its claws are like white clouds, its face is like a tiger and its whiskers are like a dragon, its head has dragon horns, its tail is like a dragon's tail, its eyes can distinguish good from evil, and its voice can shake bandits and villains. This is Bi'an."
Feeling the intense gazes and whispers around him, Chen Sihang sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the high level of civility among the superhumans, they would have been completely surrounded outside the arena.
"Hey, old man, I told you not to bring An Yi out. He's too conspicuous. He's stared at wherever he goes, and it makes me feel uncomfortable."
"Hmph, you little rascal, what do you know? Bringing Bi'an out for a stroll is a blessing, it's a great honor for Wudang Mountain. Besides, 'Bi'an's offspring' is tired of staying in Wudang Mountain, so what's wrong with him coming out to broaden his horizons?" Zhong Qingxuan said with his hands behind his back and his chin raised. This little rascal doesn't know anything about showing off. I, the old Daoist, have no other hobbies but showing off.
The Bixi was born in his Wudang Mountain Taoist temple, which made him so excited that he fainted. This is a divine beast!
A divine beast was born in Wudang Mountain. What is this called? This is called being favored by Heaven and destined for great prosperity. Moreover, the Bi'an was born at the late stage of the fourth rank. This is a divinely bestowed guardian beast of Wudang Mountain.
"Yeah, Chen, do you have a problem with me? You're such a mean guy." Bi'an rolled his eyes.
“I…” Chen Sihang’s lips twitched.
"Haha, Grandpa Zhong, Brother Chen, long time no see! I knew you could advance to the fourth rank, Brother Chen." A bold yet steady voice rang out.
A tall, burly man with two scars on his face walked over.
"Commander Zhao, it's been a long time! You've already reached the peak of the fourth rank after just one trip to the dungeon. You'll be at the fifth rank soon, right?" Chen Sihang said happily.
"Fifth rank... Don't flatter me. Don't be fooled by my peak fourth rank. The fifth rank is like an insurmountable chasm for me. I can't see a clue at all." Zhao Guoli shook his head with a wry smile. The closer he got to the fifth rank, the more he felt how big the gap was.
"Hey, who's that pretty blonde girl behind you? And this cute little elf..." Chen Sihang asked Zhao Guoli, looking at the very pretty girl behind him with a puzzled expression, and was also very curious about the little elf floating beside her.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Zhao Guoli quickly stepped aside.
"This one is called Ying, just one character Ying. This little elf is called Paimon. My teammates and I met them when we reached the 68th floor of the dungeon, and I brought them out with me."
At this point, Zhao Guoli looked at Ying and Paimon with a hint of awe in his eyes. He could feel that Ying's body was extremely powerful and put a lot of pressure on him. Although Paimon looked pitifully weak, the name Paimon and his appearance with all the special effects on his body... wasn't he one of the four supreme pillars among the seventy-two demon gods?
Although many descriptions of the seventy-two demon gods are fictitious, there are corresponding deities among the gods.
Who but the gods themselves would dare to use a name that is directly related to the gods?
Although Luminous and Paimon were odd, he still gave them extraordinary respect out of caution.
"Hello, my name is Paimon, and this is Ying." Paimon waved familiarly, and Ying smiled back.
“Paimon…” Zhong Qingxuan and Chen Sihang were startled and exchanged a glance, then glanced at Zhao Guoli, and then glanced at Ying, the crown on Paimon’s head, the starry cape, the huge Celtic triangle in the center of his chest, and the starlight that appeared around him from time to time.
"Hahaha, hello everyone..." Zhong Qingxuan and Chen Sihang burst into enthusiastic laughter, their enthusiasm almost eerily so.
Chapter 213: Ying is still searching for her brother, the Sun King who descends upon Egypt.
"Since we have the honor of meeting Ms. Ying and Ms. Paimon, please allow us to treat you well," Zhong Qingxuan said with a warm smile, appearing as if he were some kind of otherworldly immortal.
Since advancing to the fourth rank, his physical condition has recovered to its peak, and the wrinkles on his face have disappeared. After all, he is only in his seventies, while his lifespan was one hundred and fifty years when he advanced to the fourth rank.
Now that he's at the late fourth stage and hasn't suffered any fatal blows to his mind or body, living to 160 years old shouldn't be a problem; he still has more than half his lifespan left.
To achieve this, he led his Wudang Mountain disciples deep into uninhabited areas of the entire province to eliminate highly dangerous hidden dangers, and he has been receiving long-term city-level commissions from the state.
For the Xia Kingdom, Tier 3 represents the pinnacle of power in a city, Tier 4 represents the guardians of a province, and Tier 5 represents the pillars of the nation.
Therefore, fourth-tier extraordinary individuals are very prestigious in the entire Xia Kingdom. There are three fourth-tier individuals in Wudang Mountain and five in the entire province. One is stationed in the extraordinary legion, and the other is Zhao Guoli, the leader of the 'Dragon Guardian Monster Hunting Team'.
Currently, almost every province has three to six Level 4 individuals, and provinces with more than four Level 4 individuals are considered extraordinary provinces.
Their Wudang Mountain has been known among the people of their province as the "Great Protector of the Province".
“Yes, I wonder where Ms. Ying and Ms. Paimon are from? Our Xia Kingdom’s cuisine ranks first among all the countries on Earth. The variety and styles are dazzling.” Chen Sihang chimed in.
“Indeed, I’ve had a different meal every day since I was born.” Bi’an grinned and licked his lips, his majestic appearance instantly transforming into a gluttonous one, and he even licked the dragon whiskers at the corner of his mouth.
As a divine beast born of nature, he could faintly sense the power of the human girl and the little elf in front of him.
This human girl's physical body was terrifying, though it couldn't discern the specifics. It only sensed that her physical strength was extremely high, even surpassing that of the strongest human martial artist it had ever seen, a fifth-tier warrior. Her body was like a black hole, seemingly capable of absorbing any kind of power.
As for the little sprite, it gave him a strong sense of sensory disconnect.
He would bet his divine beast's bestowed status that these two were definitely some big shots in disguise, or perhaps reincarnated, or even alt accounts.
"Delicious! Really?" Paimon's eyes lit up instantly, and he practically drooled. "Is it even better than the round table banquet at the London Grand Hotel?"
Ying stood speechlessly with her hands on her hips, watching Paimon, who was drooling from the corners of his mouth. This glutton Paimon, could he really be lured away by food?
"A round table banquet? Oh, that's just some of the dishes Britain can offer. Let me tell you a secret, Britain is a culinary wasteland recognized by all the countries on Earth." Chen Sihang's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Hey~ this is promising. He's hit the nail on the head.
"Britain, with so much delicious food, is actually a culinary wasteland!" Paimon's eyes widened in disbelief, then he swallowed hard. "Well, you have to treat me, okay? You promised."
"Of course, of course, Wudang Mountain will cover Ms. Paimon and Ms. Ying's expenses in Xia Country." Zhong Qingxuan patted his chest, his white mustache standing on end.
"This, this is so embarrassing." Paimon suddenly became shy and awkward, glancing at Ying.
"Yes, I really can't accept this." Ying wanted to refuse, after all, even someone as shameless as her felt a little awkward about having all the expenses covered.
"We'll continue to take on city jobs to support ourselves. Thank you for your kindness."
"Then at least Wudang Mountain will cover the expenses in this venue. Please don't refuse," Zhao Guoli said quickly.
"That's acceptable, hehe, you guys are so nice." Paimon flew around Ying happily.
"Let's hurry up, I can smell the delicious food from far away."
"Ms. Paimon, Ms. Ying, let's go to the food area. The opening ceremony won't start for another two days," Chen Sihang said with a smile.
“Ms. Paimon, hee hee, I’m being called ‘Ms.’ now too, instead of ‘little elf’!” Paimon happily grabbed Lumin’s shoulder.
Soon, the four of them, along with a mythical beast and a Paimon, arrived at the food area.
The food area is enormous, almost like several super-large food streets combined together. The streets are divided according to the cuisine of Xia Kingdom, and everything here is extraordinary food, after all, it serves extraordinary people from all over the world.
The food court can accommodate millions of extraordinary individuals to enjoy food at the same time, and it operates 24 hours a day.
Wow! So many delicious foods, I'm overwhelmed by the sight!
As soon as Paimon arrived at the barbecue and snack area, he excitedly flew around, stopping for two seconds in front of each food stall, drooling all the while without even noticing it dripping down his cheeks and onto his clothes.
"Hey, is this a little elf from the European continent? Hello, would you like some? Here you go." The guy grilling skewers was quite surprised and kindly handed over the grilled skewers.
