My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Of course, it's also possible that they had no other choice but to believe it.

After giving Byakuren and Yamabuki a reassuring look, the two walked forward side by side, looking like a couple who had known each other for a long time.

This harmonious scene did not last long.

As the two entered the inner palace, where there were no other people or monsters around, the once majestic Feathered Fox suddenly felt weak in the legs and could not stand steadily. Fortunately, Li Wei, who was beside her, grabbed her and let her lean on him to prevent her from falling.

Weak limbs and unsteady steps are signs of serious injury. The queen who was so majestic outside was just putting on a brave face.

"Unexpected?" Her body was so supple that she was almost completely limp on Li Wei's body. Her voice was weak and barely suppressed: "Who told us to run into a crazy woman who doesn't care about her life? I can't tell anyone about my condition."

"Don't worry, it's also a doctor's duty to conceal a patient's sensitive issues." If secrets can't be kept, patients will likely avoid seeking medical help altogether.

The throne of the Lord of Demons and Monsters is not so easy to sit on. Once her weakness is discovered, she will probably die without even leaving a bone behind.

Wild animals do not die of natural causes, and neither do demons.

He reached out and lifted the fox sister onto the bed. Guided by her, Li Wei lifted her ornate kimono, revealing not the smooth, beautiful back he had caressed countless times, but a series of gruesome and terrifying knife wounds. The wounds were deep enough to expose bone, and the remaining, intense magic continued to gnaw at her body, fiercely suppressing the demon's regenerative abilities, causing endless pain as the wounds deepened.

Judging from the faint traces of herbs coming from the edge of the wound, Hagoromo Gitsune had tried many methods, but in the end, none of them worked.

"Didn't scare you?" The long-haired, black-haired older sister turned to look at him casually. "How was it, Yakushi Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata Bodhisattva?"

"I can cure it." Ignoring the fox sister's teasing address, the young man replied with a refined and easygoing manner.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Hagoromo Gitsune's tense body visibly relaxed a little.

He recognized these knife marks; they undoubtedly came from his "daughter" Fujibayashi Shinobu's exclusive weapon—the demon sword, Kokoro.

This is a weapon that only damages monsters, possessing a special attack against them, and is known as the "Monster Killer." As its owner's owner, Li Wei has also used it before, so he has some understanding of it.

Thinking of this, the boy slowly lowered his head, and under the expectant gaze of his older sister, he stuck out his tongue and slowly licked the hideous wound.

A miracle happened.

The knife wound, which was originally difficult to heal even with medicine, gradually had its residual magic power neutralized after coming into contact with Li Wei's bodily fluids. As the victim, Hagoromo Gitsune clearly felt that the excruciating mountain pain that had been tormenting her was significantly reduced.

The thought that he really wasn't lying to her arose in her mind, so much so that the credibility of the boy's claim that they had known each other for a long time suddenly increased dramatically.

"There are two treatment options now." Facing the black-haired older sister's "hurry up" look, Dr. Li Wei prescribed a remedy: "One is simpler. I will use bodily fluids to help you remove the residual magic from Xin Du. The advantage is that it is fast-acting, painless, and has no side effects. The disadvantage is that it does not cure the root cause, and the internal wounds will take a long time to heal. You will not be able to exert your full strength for at least half a month."

"The other one." Without even thinking, Hagoromo Gitsune abandoned this option.

"...Replenish your mana with me."

Xin Du will not harm his companions. When the fox sister exchanges magic with him, Xin Du will automatically assume that it belongs to his master, and the residual power will automatically dissipate.

"...If you dare to lie to me, I'll kill you." After giving him a deep look and uttering a threat that wouldn't scare anyone at all, the long-haired, black-haired woman resignedly turned over and said, "Come on, you brat."

……

One minute later.

"Wait a minute, Sister Fox, this is your first time here?"

"Shut up!" The boy's mouth was covered by something soft, and he could no longer make a sound.

Volume 6: Chapter 29 Subduing Demons and Foxes

Having both drunk Fox Sister's seaweed wine and served her theirs as a vessel, Li Wei knew each other intimately and was quite familiar with her. She figured a princess-connection between them would be easy and enjoyable. It was simply a matter of being mindful of posture and movement, and avoiding touching the wound or irritating the patient.

Now it seems that things are not quite the same as what I initially thought.

"Should I think of other treatment options?"

"It would be even better if you could pull your Noble Phantasm out of my body while you're saying that."

As if resigned to her fate, the long-haired, black-haired older sister, pinned to the bed by the Thorn Piercing Spear, sighed: "It's true, it's true. My wounds haven't even healed yet, and now I'm going to get another penetrating wound."

"Sorry……"

"If you feel embarrassed, then be gentler. Are you feeling smug?" Feeling helpless like prey caught in a trap made Hagoromo Gitsune extremely uncomfortable.

But there was really no other way now, and it was only a brief exchange. She could already clearly feel that the hidden ailment that had been troubling her for so long was now showing signs of loosening.

He really didn't lie to me.

"Come on, now I am your fox, just this once." Resignedly closing her eyes, the nine fluffy tails tightly enveloped the boy: "Show me your full power, I want to see if the Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata Bodhisattva has the ability to subdue the Lord of Demons and Monsters."

"In that case, I apologize for the inconvenience."

……

Meanwhile, in the banquet hall.

As time went on, more and more guests arrived at the banquet hall, but the main character, Hagoromo Gitsune, still hadn't appeared, making the atmosphere somewhat eerie.

"That's strange. Where did that kid go? Why hasn't he come out yet?" The monk's face turned serious. "Could something have really happened to him? It would be troublesome if that kid died."

I'll have to go to Shiki Eiki's place to forcibly drag people away, just thinking about it makes my head explode.

"Hmm..." Suddenly, Yamabuki Otome, who had been perfectly normal just moments before, let out a soft, ambiguous moan, which terrified Hijiri Byakuren.

"Are you alright?" It's like when it rains, it pours; when the boat is late, it gets caught in a headwind. If something happens to the woman this guy found, my reputation will be ruined.

Or why not just move to Gensokyo and ignore everything else?

As a nun who had renounced worldly desires, she naturally failed to discern that Yamabuki-nee's voice did not originate from pain, but rather from more pleasure.

"N-nothing...it's nothing, I just haven't had enough rest." The long-haired black-haired female ghost curled up into a ball, trying her best to hide her abnormality.

"Oh, I see." Saint Byakuren nodded, readily believing this explanation.

What she didn't notice was that from this moment on, Yamabuki Otome's cheeks had turned red to her ears, and an unprecedented sense of pleasure was washing over her brain like waves, an offensive that she had to do everything she could to suppress.

Why is this happening?

Just now, she suddenly felt someone licking her back and thought it was her imagination. Then, she began to feel gentle caresses all over her body. This stimulation almost made Yamabuki Otome, who had never held the hand of a second man, collapse to the ground.

It was as if she actually had two bodies, but the senses of pleasure were the same. At that moment, that body was being held in her lover's arms, caressed and tasted wantonly, sailing in a sea of ​​desire, and the synchronized sensations were irresistible to her.

Seeing this, Saint Byakuren was a little confused and could only take off his monk's robe and drape it over her body, at least to cover her trembling body.

"We'll have to wait until that kid comes back."

……

Deep within the inner palace, Li Wei's special treatment had come to an end. Yu Yi Hu lay lazily on the large bed. The once hideous and terrifying wounds had now healed, but the scars remaining on her smooth jade-like body proved the extent of the damage she had suffered.

After receiving the boy's scorching magic, she clearly felt that her body had benefited greatly.

Not only the wounds from this battle, but also the hidden dangers left from previous battles with other monsters are gradually crumbling away. Even his strength, which had not improved for a long time, is showing signs of a breakthrough.

This boy isn't human; he's practically a ginseng fruit.

The boy stroked the scar that hadn't fully healed, and couldn't resist licking it again. As he did so, the glaring scar on his lower abdomen visibly faded a little.

When an animal gives its softest part, its belly, to another person, it proves that the other person has completely trusted it.

"You seem to understand me very well. You had me completely under your control just now." The fox sister touched her sweaty long hair, and her words no longer contained the weakness and helplessness she had shown at the beginning: "I didn't even know that I had such strange sensitive spots."

At the same time, the nine fox tails, soaked with sweat, seemed to become sentient beings, vying to rub against the boy's body affectionately, like spoiled little pets.

"It's getting late. If we don't get out soon, we'll run into trouble, won't we?" Li Wei looked up at the sun. Even though he had tried his best to speed things up, it had already been more than half an hour before Hagoromo Gitsune's wounds had basically healed.

"Leave now?"

"Otherwise what?" Li Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You're covered in my scent now, and my body is filled with your magic. Aren't you afraid the women you brought with you will find out?"

"Then let's clean it up a bit." That makes sense.

"No need. As animals, cleaning themselves is a basic skill."

As she said this, the woman with long, straight black hair straightened herself up, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, covering most of her beautiful face. Only her two large, watery eyes were half-closed, revealing a captivating light.

Then, she slowly lowered her head, like a fox spirit ready to devour its prey.

Or rather, that's who she always was.

……

"Hey, you're back."

Seeing the boy reappear, the monk breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought something had happened to you."

"How could anything be wrong? The Feathered Fox was very nice. As a patient, he had a thorough and easy-to-understand discussion with me about my condition. It was a pleasant experience for both of us." Li Wei didn't lie at all.

"That's good, that's good. There seems to be a problem with Yamabuki's side. Go check it out."

"Ok."

Seeing the young man approach Yamabuki Otome with great concern, asking about her well-being and taking her hand to let her rest in his arms, the monk's attention began to shift to Hagoromo Gitsune.

Li Wei's art is indeed very high, at least three or four stories high. The Feathered Fox was a bit stiff earlier, but now she's much better, supple and boneless, with a natural allure, just like crops nourished by spring rain, full of vitality.

but……

"Sniff sniff..."

With her keen senses, Saint Byakuren smelled a faint scent that seemed to match the one she had smelled that morning.

What medicine did Li Wei give her that had such a good effect?

Volume 6: Chapter 30 This scene seems somewhat familiar.

"Who is that kid? How come he can sit next to Lady Hagoromo Gitsune?"

"I don't know them either. I heard from others that they came from some Ruri Shrine, but I know nothing about the specifics."

"I've heard a bit about him; he seems to be a good doctor."

"Who knows? Putting everything else aside, I think he's quite good-looking. Could it be that Lord Hagoromo Gitsune has taken a liking to him?"

Whispers, all sorts of whispers.

Because many people had just witnessed him walking out behind Hagoromo Gitsune and being specially placed in a very prominent position, many people looked up to him and thought he was a favored and important person.

Whether he was valued for some special talent or for some other talent (literally), he was valued nonetheless.

It's good to get to know each other better and build a closer relationship; you never know when that connection might come in handy.

As the center of attention, Li Wei felt terrible. This feeling of being the center of attention made him very irritable, and he kept thinking about how he felt when he attended banquets in the real world.

If I don't touch my chopsticks, no one else will either. Only after I've taken a bite will anyone else touch the plate. Once I've finished eating and gotten up to leave, the meal ends no matter how much others are eating. Everyone gets up to see me off, which makes everyone unhappy.

And it has to be said that she is indeed a monster, she is really bold. The cat demon that was trying to get close to her just now actually stuck its tail into her trouser leg and was still probing upwards, so Li Wei had to grab her by the collar and send her away.

I don't want to feel awkward when I meet Himari's mother after returning to the main world.

If we ignore these minor incidents, Hagoromo Gitsune's birthday party was still a great success.

This smooth sailing continued until Li Wei and his companions returned to the inn.

"Ah, really, it seems we've returned empty-handed this time." The monk, who hadn't lifted a finger the entire time, was slightly disappointed: "It looks like the mission to subdue demons and monsters won't be completed."

Kyoto is currently in a strange state of equilibrium. The emperor and nobles, whose power has waned, are both wary of demons and using them to consolidate their positions, while also providing security for Kyoto. It's a situation where demons guard the nation's gates, and aliens die for the country. Under Hagoromo Gitsune's management, the demons are able to maintain basic order and coexist peacefully with the people.

Making any rash moves could easily disrupt the fragile balance; the best option is to do nothing at all.

“It’s alright. There’s always a way to get there, no matter how high the mountain is or how deep the water is. There’s always a way to get there,” Li Wei comforted Sheng Bailian. “I can always think of another way.”

Actually, there are solutions. Meryl had specifically trained him in the extremely difficult art of alchemy, including a skill called "Alchemy," which can turn objects into gold. As long as the boy has sufficient magical power, this compensation shouldn't be a problem.

The reasons for my long journey to Kyoto are threefold: first, to see Sister Fox; second, to believe that if the people here are truly suffering, then slaying demons and monsters would be a good deed; and third, to ensure that Lian Ma's problem isn't solved so easily, but rather to teach her a lesson.

Now that the goal has been basically achieved, it's time to go back and use the magic. If the magic power is insufficient, find Kikyo to replenish it. In a way, it's like paying back a debt to a teacher.

"that……"

"Shh..."

Just as Byakuren was about to say something more, Yamabuki, who had returned to normal, made a "quiet" gesture: "There seems to be some strange noise outside."

"..." The two exchanged a glance and listened carefully, as if the entire city of Kyoto had suddenly descended into chaos.

There is no doubt that something big has happened in Kyoto.

……

Streaks of black energy are spreading throughout Kyoto, leaving chaos in their wake.

In the backyard of a nobleman, the young master was pinned down by his most beloved black goat maid, unable to move.
