"I know it."

After Tamamonomae answered Ian, she began to struggle hard to break free from the rope that bound her hands.

Her whole body swayed back and forth on the tatami, and even her tail and ears swayed along with her.

It is a posture with a different kind of beauty.

However, Ian had no intention of appreciating it, but instead silently recorded the time required for the entire process.

Only after Tamamonomae broke free completely did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoyu, great, you did it."

"That way, once the fire starts, you'll have a chance to run away."

"is it?"

Tamamonomae was very happy to hear this.

"Mr. Abe, my efforts are indeed useful!"

"Yeah." Ian smiled.

"Xiaoyu's efforts are indeed useful."

The moment her eyes met Ian's, Tamamonomae suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Abe... am I getting a little carried away?"

"A little."

"But it's harmless."

Ian pinched Tamamonomae's cheek.

"Because I think you, Xiaoyu, should be cheerful and lively."

"Mr. Abe..."

Tamamonomae's face turned slightly red, but her heart felt as sweet as sugar.

But suddenly, she seemed to remember something and looked a little lost.

It was impossible for Ian not to notice this change in Tamamonomae.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Tamamonomae glanced at Ian, as if she had made up her mind.

She confided:

"Mr. Abe, I actually had several strange dreams..."

[Talent Fox Demon Dream has been obtained: You have learned about several dreams that Tamamonomae had. ]

[In her dreams, she had destroyed several dynasties in different identities.]

【As Lady Huayang, she destroyed the dynasty called Magadha. 】

【As Meixi, she destroyed the dynasty called Xia. 】

【As Daji, she destroyed the dynasty called Shang. 】

【As Bao Si destroyed the dynasty called Western Zhou. 】

She often felt very sad because of these dreams.

"..."

Ian held the sad Tamamonomae in his arms and gently stroked her back over and over again.

Only after she calmed down a little did the great Yin-Yang Master speak:

"Xiaoyu."

"Were you also so alone in those dreams?"

"……Um."

Tamamonomae grabbed Ian's clothes and nodded slightly aggrievedly.

"so--"

"I am a little worried that I might bring misfortune to Mr. Abe."

"Then Xiaoyu, you may have underestimated me."

Ian looked at Tamamonomae who looked worried and smiled calmly.

"I am the best Onmyoji in Kyoto. The curse of the demons has no meaning to me."

"and--"

"They were just some dreams, nothing to worry about."

"In contrast."

The Great Onmyoji lifted up the fox's skirt and looked at the fox's treasure inside.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you replace it with some more realistic memories?"

"Um……"

Tamamonomae took the initiative to push the Great Onmyoji's hand in.

She moved her treasure closer to the Great Onmyoji's hand and rubbed it gently.

"That's what I thought, too."

"Mr. Abe, please let me forget those terrible dreams."

"Migu!"

The fox demon started his finger surfing journey again.

[The talent Fox Demon Dream has been enhanced to Fox Demon Dream+: You will replace the horrible scenes that Tamamonomae dreamed of with training scenes one by one.]

[You think it is better to feel the beauty in contact than to be frightened in nightmares. ]

[You have unknowingly cultivated Tamamonomae's dependence on you. 】

【She will be more thoughtful than usual when she is in front of you. 】

【She begins to look forward to a future with you. 】

【A future that will not lead to the collapse of the dynasty. 】

[But she also knew that everything depended on the success of this fake death.]

【You are well aware of this.】

"Xiaoyu, get ready."

“That day should come soon.”

"Well, I know."

Tamamonomae, lying on the wet tatami, nodded very seriously - even though her legs were still shaking.

There seemed to be a little too many performances today.

[The demon-killing plan submitted by Minamoto no Raikou quickly received a response from the Emperor.]

[You and she have obtained the permission of the Pope.]

【But some details in the reply make you concerned. 】

"Try to capture them alive?"

Ian seemed somewhat puzzled as he listened to Minamoto no Raikou's reply.

"Ma'am, are you sure you heard me correctly?"

"If 'Algae Girl' was a beauty, it would be understandable to capture her alive... But now she is a fox demon. Is it really okay to do this?"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou remained silent.

Obviously.

She also considered what Ian said.

"Husband, I don't know what's going on."

"but--"

"Let's just do as the Emperor has instructed."

"……Understood."

[Although you said this, you didn't intend to do it in your heart. ]

[If she is captured alive, it means that Tamamonomae will be handed back to the Emperor. ]

【That is something you must avoid.】

[You decide to proceed according to the original plan - after all, the Pope's order is to capture him alive if possible but not necessarily.]

[It's just that you still feel a little strange. ]

[The emperor's attitude towards Tamamonomae seems to be very problematic. 】

[But you don’t have time to think about it—because there are still many details waiting for you to perfect. ]

【Time flies by.】

【The planned day has arrived. 】

at night.

The cold wind blew through the streets of Heian-kyō.

The rumors about Ian's past lover no longer exist - everyone knows that it was a trap set by the Great Yin-Yang Master to capture the fox demon.

The foot soldiers in charge of the capture surrounded the mansion where Tamamo had been hiding the day before.

The two people standing in the front are Ian and Minamoto no Raikou.

"Husband, the fox demon is in here, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Ian adjusted his breathing and tone to make what he said sound more real.

"After tonight, Heian-kyō will no longer have to remain on guard against fox demons."

"Ah."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded - she believed what her husband said without a doubt.

"Without further delay, my husband, let's get started now."

The clouds are heavy and the wind is high, only the green light shines.

According to the plan, Ian led Minamoto no Raikou and several relatively prestigious foot soldiers to a certain place in the mansion.

Just as planned.

Tamamonomae was hung there with her hands tied with ropes.

certainly--

Only the Great Onmyoji knows her real name.

In the eyes of others (including Minamoto no Raikou), this is just a fox demon.

The place where Tamamonomae was hung was also carefully chosen.

That is where light and darkness intersect.

Everyone could only see her clothed lower body illuminated by the moonlight, but not her upper body which was immersed in the darkness.

The soles of her feet were covered with curse marks, which were now floating in the wind.

This scene really looks like a fox demon being captured by a great Yin-Yang master.
