I am recycling settings in the anime

The owner of the museum had a strange woman whom he knew but he had no idea about it and had never even met her!

Damn! Why does it suddenly feel like there are more and more women around my owner? The ones I know are fine, but there's one I don't even know about, and it seems like she's got a good relationship with the owner!

However, what greeted Iwanaga Kotoko was just a snap of the fingers, which immediately made Iwanaga Kotoko scream in pain.

"The owner has gone into ruthless mode again, he doesn't understand at all..."

"You don't know how to be gentle with women at all. Please ask Miss Kotoko to change her line! I know it by heart!"

"Since the gym owner knows all this, why does he always hit me so hard?"

"I'm giving your wandering brain a good rest!"

"...Physical rest method, right?"

While bickering, the two gradually came to a rather dilapidated shrine.

This scene made a look of doubt gradually appear on Iwanaga Kotoko's face, and she subconsciously looked around.

Strange, I didn't expect there would be such a dilapidated shrine here? It looks like no one is here anymore.

"This is the friend that the owner of the museum knows..."

Before she could finish her words, a clear and pleasant voice interrupted her.

"The water recedes, the waves rise, the ancient moss washes away... Why didn't you say hello before coming here? Master Fang Yi!"

As the sound got closer, a slender figure gradually came into Iwanaga Kotoko's sight.

She had pink hair parted in the middle, with buns on the sides. She was wearing...was it a cheongsam? It had a very Chinese-style vibe. No wonder she had such a good relationship with the owner; she must have been to that Eastern land.

But was it an illusion? Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but frown.

"Such a strong spiritual power, but... a strange guy!"

Although the spiritual energy emanating from the other person was not as strong as that of her own master, Iwanaga Kotoko obviously noticed something strange, but as if she was not sure, her eyes never left the other person.

After pondering for a moment, Iwanaga Kotoko made this evaluation.

After the girl walked out of the shrine, her eyes fell on Iwanaga Kotoko.

A hint of surprise flashed across her face. It was obvious that the girl knew Iwanaga Kotoko who was standing next to Fang Yi.

But even so, she pretended to be ignorant and asked jokingly.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Fang Yi actually brought a child with him. Is this Mr. Fang Yi's daughter? She's really cute."

Iwanaga Kotoko's expression suddenly became a little stunned. Although she didn't care much about her body shape and knew that Fang Yi didn't take this matter to heart, the girl's questioning made Iwanaga Kotoko feel like an arrow was stabbed in the chest.

Fang Yi knew that the other party was teasing him, so he just held Iwanaga Kotoko's hand tightly and slowly walked forward.

"Stop making fun of my girlfriend, Ms. Tsuruga...I told you about Kotoko!"

"Hey, hey... I'm so sorry for any offense I just caused, Ms. Iwanaga Kotoko."

Tsuyoshika emerged from the shadowed shrine with a gentle smile. Kotoko finally saw clearly that her right arm was bandaged. Was that arm injured? Or was there some other reason?

Moreover, there is a chain hanging on the opponent's left arm. Is that an iron wrist guard on the wrist?

However, Tsuyoshika didn't give the other person time to think. She just slowly stepped forward and spoke with an intimate expression.

"My name is Do Ryoka, I'm a Taoist, I guess!"

"As a cultivator, it's no wonder he possesses such powerful spiritual power, but..."

There was no further comment. Iwanaga Kotoko closed her mouth and just watched silently from behind.

The person who was looking for the other party was the owner of the museum, and it was obvious that the owner was very familiar with the other party, so there was no need for him to say much.

After noticing that the other party had taken a step back, giving space for conversation to herself and Fang Yi, Du Liangxiang also looked at Fang Yi, only to see that the other party was also looking at the shrine behind her, and also making his complaints.

"Why do you always live here? If it were you, you should be able to live better!"

"Isn't this what cultivation is all about? Cultivation is about cultivating the mind. As for residence, it's just an external object. If I can't even overcome this kind of environment, then what's the point of cultivation? I'm used to this kind of life now..."

Tsuyoshika said this with a smile, then turned to look at the shrine behind her.

"Feeling the tranquility of my surroundings, I recall everything I've experienced since my birth. Reliving all my experiences over and over in my mind is also a form of practice to prolong my life!"

"Practice, you really are passionate about this!"

Fang Yi had no intention of pointing fingers, he was just simply complaining about the other person's residence.

After silently skipping the topic, Fang Yi started to deal with his own business.

"As usual, do you have any nice antiques here, Miss Mitsuyoshi?"

Chapter 9 I also felt the breath of the monster!

I have to say that the things here at Duliangxiang are not only of great quantity, but also of great quality.

For example, there was a samurai sword from the Warring States Period, which faintly exuded a strong aura of blood, and a royal coin used by a shrine maiden, with spiritual energy lingering on it. It was obviously not a decoration. What surprised Kotoko Iwanaga the most was that the other party also had a Kyomaru Botan Jade Stone in his hand.

"I didn't expect it to be the legendary Jingwan Peony Stone. This thing grows among the ruins of cliffs. It's an elusive peony that appears and disappears mysteriously. It blooms once every sixty years, and the flowers are incredibly large, with each one being three feet tall..."

Leaning forward to take a closer look at what the other person was holding, Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but smack her lips.

Now she understood why Fang Yi liked to come to the other party to purchase goods. The goods here were not just antiques!

I didn't expect that the other party even had the legendary things. After all, I had only heard about them from some monsters.

Fang Yi didn't find it strange, and he wasn't as excited as Iwanaga Kotoko. These things were just for collection to him. Since Kotoko wanted them, he would just give them to her directly. Fang Yi's desire for items was actually not that exaggerated. After all... he was not interested in these things.

"These were just given to me by a friend. He said they were useless and just threw them over. But they don't have much collection value for me. Besides, I'm not a collector, so I'll just trade them. People who practice cultivation don't have much desire for these external things. If Master Fang Yi wants them, then I'll give them to him."

Can I meet your friend? Iwanaga Kotoko looked at what the other person took out and couldn't help complaining in her heart.

Noticing Iwanaga Kotoko's expression, the gentleness on Tohnoka's face became even more intense, and she spoke slowly.

"It seems that Miss Yanyong likes these things very much. As a gift for our first meeting, I'll give them to Miss Yanyong. By the way, if you two get married in the future, don't forget to invite me. After all, I am a friend of Mr. Fang Yi."

"I'll definitely call you when the time comes, but not so soon, so don't be so impatient..."

As he spoke, Fang Yi's expression looked a little strange. Why did he feel that Du Liangxiang's tone was a little... too enthusiastic?

"Why do you seem so enthusiastic after you brought this up? Do you enjoy attending other people's weddings?"

Hearing this, Tsuyoshi just smiled without saying anything, and her gaze lingered on Iwanaga Kotoko for a moment.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Iwanaga Kotoko always feels like the other person is... sympathizing? No...

I have an inexplicable feeling of being pitied... Iwanaga Kotoko muttered to herself.

"Then, your reward will be..."

"No! Can you find another way to have Lord Fang Yi pay for these things?"

Fang Yi was just about to take out the things he had prepared in advance when Du Liangxiang interrupted him.

The smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a serious look.

Ever since Fang Yi met the other person, he has never seen him show such a heavy expression.

Did something troublesome happen? Fang Yi speculated in his mind.

Yes, there have been so many vengeful spirits and evil spirits in this city recently, it always feels a bit strange if nothing happens.

"What happened? Miss Tsuruga?"

"It's true that some troublesome things have happened, but there's no rush right now. We can wait until tomorrow morning to resolve it. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Fang Yi to come here alone. Don't worry, I will take care of breakfast tomorrow morning, so Mr. Fang Yi doesn't have to order takeout!"

When he said the last sentence, Fang Yi's face became a little guilty.

He could already feel the teasing look that Iwanaga Kotoko was giving him.

It seems to be saying, look! Even this Miss Tsuyoshika knows that you, the owner, live a sloppy life.

After the transaction was completed, Du Liangxiang had no intention of keeping Fang Yi and Iwanaga Kotoko for dinner. She left directly after saying that she had something to do. Fang Yi also walked towards the store with a big bag in his hand, looking very satisfied.

Watching Tsuyoshika leave, Iwanaga Kotoko also looked thoughtful.

"Master, how did you get to know Miss Tsuyoshika?"

"She came here when she was hunting down a vengeful spirit, and then she crushed the spirit to death with her bare hands!"

When Fang Yi saw that scene, he was also surprised, and that was how they got to know each other.

"Did you just crush the vengeful spirit to death? It seemed so easy."

Qinzi's sigh made Fang Yi nod slightly. The scene he saw was exactly like an adult teaching a child a lesson.

"Why, are you surprised by Miss Tsuruga's power?"

"No... I'm not surprised by the strength, but the aura of the other party..."

Iwanaga Kotoko frowned deeply, as if she was thinking about whether she should say it or not.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Qinzi looked at Fang Yi with a serious expression.

Although the other party is the owner's friend, I still have to remind him anyway.

"Master, I must remind you that I sensed a very strong spiritual power from Miss Tsuyoshi Tsuyoshi. So theoretically, she's right about being a cultivator, but..."

"I felt the same thing, the aura of a monster!"

She didn’t know whether Fang Yi felt it or not, but at least she felt it.

As a god of wisdom artificially created by monsters, her sensitivity to monsters is beyond imagination.

At least Iwanaga Kotoko could basically tell whether the other party was a monster or not with just one glance.

In a sense, this is also a special ability she possesses.

"But this is very strange. If it's a monster, how can it cultivate such a huge amount of spiritual power? This is the first time I've seen a monster cultivate such a huge amount of spiritual power. But if it's not a monster, why do I have that feeling?"

Iwanaga Kotoko muttered to herself while looking at Fang Yi, as if trying to observe something from Fang Yi's expression.

However, Fang Yi did not show much surprise on his face, and could even be said to be very calm.

It was as if he already knew what Iwanaga Kotoko was talking about.

Noticing this scene, Kotoko Iwanaga felt helpless. After all, how could the museum owner not know these things?

If you find anything strange, just go to the archives and investigate.

The World Archives records all the people in the world and their information, but... it's a little troublesome!

Just look at the resentful look on the curator's face when he collects files.

That's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even for Fang Yi, who is quite familiar with the archives, it would take several hours to find it!

"Master, do you know about Miss Tsuyoshika?"

Fang Yi didn't explain, just nodded and walked straight towards his shop.

"Yeah! Don't worry too much. At least she is trustworthy now!"

Gradually, after the figures of Fang Yi and others gradually disappeared, Du Liangxiang, who had already left, walked out from the corner.

Her gaze lingered in the direction where Fang Yi and others left, and the figure of Iwanaga Kotoko appeared in her mind.

"The Kyuubiku shrine maiden is actually such a petite child. Does that mean she's been participating in that ritual since she was young? Tsk...those guys are really messing around!"

A hint of disdain gradually emerged from her mouth.

This attitude is completely different from the gentle and polite demeanor he showed in front of Fang Yi and others before.

But the gaze that Iwanaga Kotoko felt before was not an illusion.

The girl named Tsuyoshika was indeed pitying her.

Pity her for the cruel ritual she had experienced!

"But... if Lord Fang Yi is here, there's nothing to worry about."

Chapter 10—We can’t win! Everyone, let’s disperse! Let’s run away separately!

Today, Yotsuya Miko is going to look for the store manager Fang Yi whom she met before.

After all, the other party is an exorcist who can kill those evil spirits in minutes. There is no doubt that he is a very powerful exorcist. In addition, the other party also runs a shop, so he must have a lot of exorcism props.

So, Yotsuya Miko decided to go and talk business with the other party. Of course, if there was no one, she would just consider it as making a friend.

She can't just struggle to survive in this kind of fearful environment every day.
