In the spacious and bright Japanese-style room, the atmosphere was solemn, as if even the air had frozen.

This is where the elders of the Gods' Temple gather, and an absurd report about "mortals killing gods" is causing an uproar.

"Rinai-kun, are you serious about this report? Mortals killing gods and usurping their power... How can you say such absurd words?"

An elder's words were filled with dissatisfaction and contempt, as if he was the only one who could see through the absurdity of this world.

Liyuna smiled softly and said, "I also think it's ridiculous, but this is the reality, and the head of the Genmaki family has also confirmed this."

"A nouveau riche merchant family, what do they know? They were probably cheated by some scoundrel who came from nowhere."

The other elder curled his lips in disdain, his words full of contempt for the Xianjuan family.

"That's right. Your answer to the world's chaos is full of nonsense. If other famous families in the world knew about this, I'm afraid they would laugh at us in the Gods' Court!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter in the room, mixed with disdain and ridicule.

However, Li Yuna was not shaken by the ridicule and remained calm and composed.

"I told you, this is reality. If you are dissatisfied, you can go find the God Slayer."

The room is spacious and elegantly decorated, large enough to accommodate a banquet for dozens of people.

The elderly or former middle-aged male elders sat with their backs to the wall, less than ten of them.

They may be wearing business suits or traditional kimonos, but no matter what they wear, they cannot conceal their inner anxiety and uneasiness.

Most of the elders sat cross-legged, but Li Yunai sat upright, appearing calm and unhurried.

However, her expression and words revealed a sense of rudeness and provocation.

Kiyoakiin Maki, who was sitting diagonally behind her, didn't even look at her, but made an obvious expression of "so miserable".

This detail, like a silent mockery, made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.

The old elders all had expressions that showed dissatisfaction.

"If it's true, do you want all of us in the Gods' Court to die here?"

"That's not the kind of judgment you should make!"

"Sure, you may be the reincarnation of the Yatagarasu. But in the end, the Toba family is still a member of the Shinto Institute. Your willfulness will be the price your family and relatives will pay for your arrogance, you know?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

The dissatisfaction and intimidation of the old elders were evident in their words.

Riuna, however, sat quietly as if she was not affected at all, she had foreseen this situation a long time ago, so she found her allies. If something unexpected happened, she could let Kiyoakiin Maki be her master, unleash her power, and subdue all the elders here.

A demigod-level Onmyoji is enough to suppress this group of people.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a gust of wind suddenly blew away.

call--

It started out as a light breeze, but instantly turned into a strong wind and then formed a vortex.

The cyclone dissipated and Mingxian stood in the middle.

Mingxian looked around.

"Are you in a meeting?"

Li Yunai was stunned for a while before saying, "This is the God Slayer I mentioned."

"Yes, I am the God Slayer."

"How did you move here?"

"The spoils of war."

Li Yunai thought about it briefly and immediately remembered that during the battle in Zalwan, when facing the closed temple, Mingxian used his power to transform into a gust of wind and enter the temple.

“This is the power of fate.”

Li Yuna said with a firm tone, "It's not time, not space, not cause and effect, not spirit, but fate! The fate of a warrior and a king allows you to reach the side of those who have bad intentions, and allows you to reach the side of those who need you."

Ming Xian nodded slightly and praised: "Very good judgment. If I were to describe this power, it would be 'fate makes me fight'."

"So you showed up here." Li Yuna let out a long sigh, "You noticed our heated discussion about the God Slayer, so you moved here."

Mingxian explained: "Not entirely, it just happens to be."

"are you looking for me?"

"...Are you too confident?"

Mingxian couldn't help but ask back.

This woman is so self-centered.

Why do you think you are here to find her?

This time I came to the Temple of Gods to give my brothers a job.

Finding you was just a coincidence.

In response, Li Yuna just raised her slender neck confidently, "Isn't this natural? I saved you from the hands of the gods, but would you go to these old men to find your savior other than me?"

Ming Xian: “…”

Savior?

Sister, what did you eat to make you so confident?

If Veleslana had not been humiliated by Zalwan and angrily stopped Zalwan, you would have been wiped out long ago.

Now I claim to be your savior, so I give you face?

However, if you think about it, in that situation, Riuna had the courage to bring him back to Tokyo, which was a good intention and a meritorious service...

It would be difficult for me to repay kindness with enmity and give her a blow.

But this attitude is really unpleasant...

Mingxian suddenly showed a crazy smile.

"Since you are my savior, I must repay you well!"

Li Yuna suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mingxian said directly: "Just be my concubine!"

Liyuna: "..."

She was stunned for a moment, and uttered a word after a long while: "Ah?"

Mingxian explained: "You can't unleash all your potential by yourself."

"Since you have to be involved with others, you can't be too arbitrary."

"As long as you become my concubine, all these problems can be solved. I can let you exert all your strength, and the old people here will not have too many opinions. Don't you think it's a perfect plan?"

As he spoke, he looked around at the elders.

The moment their eyes met, it was like a powder keg being lit, and all the elders present exploded.

"who do you think You Are?"

"Don't talk nonsense!? The descendants of Toba and Kiyoakiin are mixed with an ordinary person of questionable origin. This is not allowed!"

"The bloodline of Toba must be passed down under the guidance of the Divine Court!"

"This is the bloodline of our country's gods!"

In World No. 492, blood plays a big role in the talent of manipulating magic and witchcraft.

The possibility of an outstanding talent emerging from a family not in this field is not zero.

But it’s still shockingly low.

It is desirable to blend the mystical bloodlines from both the father and mother.

This is why the Pantheon often interferes with the marriages of witchcraft families and high-level practitioners.

They will say, you should annul this marriage, you should get a divorce now, etc.

In contrast, the descendants of gods who have not stepped into the mysterious realm are frighteningly tolerant, and even seem to condone the disappearance of the divine blood.

Ming Xian was a little surprised: "You actually care about this. Don't you care about the descendants of gods in the Kanto area? You don't care about the inheritance of the blood of gods."

An elder immediately said, "Toba Riuna is an outstanding talent, and can even be said to be Japan's greatest treasure. We cannot allow her to marry a nouveau riche from the Genmaki family!"

Ming Xian: “…”

It is indeed a well-known and established family.

Even the Xianjuan family are nouveau riche.

I feel like they need to be reminded.

"Just a reminder, my guardianship went through the formal procedures, but that doesn't mean I'm the upstart of the Xianjuan family. I'm just my own upstart."

"what?"

"I didn't say I wanted to marry Toba Riuna." Mingxian smiled brightly and opened his arms to show his innocence. "I just want to take her as a concubine. My fiancée is Xiaoxinxin."

Elders: "..."

What is this person talking about!

An elder suddenly became furious. He stood up and formed a seal towards Mingxian, then blasted a spell at him.

boom!

The moment the spell touched the string, it was instantly broken.

There was not even any feeling of the strings.

At this time, Li Yuna raised her hand, "Me, me, me! I have something to say!"

Mingxian looked at her: "My 'lifesaver', what do you have to say?"

"You are repaying kindness with enmity!" Li Yuna stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said very majestically: "Why do I have to be your concubine? At least I should be a princess or something like that."

"Would you be willing if it was the princess?"

"Of course not."

"Look at it from a bright side, you've made a profit." Ming Xian said casually, "Just nod your head, and all your current problems will be solved, even the problem of not being able to exert your full strength can be solved, and you will be free from now on."

"Besides, godslayers are all short-lived. Maybe one day they will disappear from your sight."

"You can also inherit a rich inheritance..."

“It’s a lucrative deal.”

Hearing what Mingxian said, Li Yunai frowned slightly and confirmed: "So ours is actually a 'strategic marriage', right? In this case, as long as they pretend to be husband and wife on the surface, both parties actually have other real partners, it should be feasible. Is it just a fake marriage or a contractual marriage in name only?"

Mingxian said: "Of course not, you will naturally be turned into a puff."

"What a dirty metaphor..."

"But you've made a profit."

"Where's the profit?"

"My newly acquired power is similar to that of ○ Xiu, which can make you immortal and easily break free from the shackles of the reincarnation of a god."

“Did I really make money?”

Li Yunai began to doubt herself.

Ming Xian changed the subject and said, "But I feel uncomfortable thinking about your immortality and ascension to heaven, so I specially allow you not to be turned into puffs."

Liyuna: "..."

An inexplicable feeling of irritation welled up in her heart, as if she was tightly bound by invisible shackles. The indescribable discomfort made her frown slightly, her face quietly turned a shade of red, and a dangerous cold light flashed in her eyes.

That was a sign of being ignited by anger.

Just when Li Yuna's emotions were on the verge of exploding, Mingxian lightly snapped his fingers at the old man who had just cast a spell with evil intentions.

This seemingly random attack actually contained unfathomable power.

With a loud bang, like thunder in the night sky, a small black hole suddenly appeared. The vortex inside it was rolling, and the devouring power was amazing. It instantly swallowed up the figure of the elder, leaving only circles of ripples spreading in the space.

Toba Riuna's eyes suddenly became clear.
