It's Auntie Benmaru!

"Onikiri, do you know?"

"When you were controlled by Anzhiju just now, I almost gave up all thoughts of moving on..."

"Later, a ray of light calmed you down, and she told me not to separate the pieces, otherwise the spiritual power would not be enough to destroy Anzhiju's body."

"That light is none other than my mother, Bai Niaochu..."

Leaning in Onikiri's arms, she carefully told Onikiri what she had just experienced with half-closed eyes.

The monsters and warlocks outside seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle with the retainers who came out to protect Yoten Shiratori. At this time, Onikiri lost his breath and Tianqing ambushed one of the walls of the side hall of Shiratori's house, making sure that no one passed by. Only then carefully jumped off.

The courtyard in this remote corner behind the Shiratori family mansion is neglected. There is a lot of moss floating on the pool in the courtyard, the flowerbed surrounded by stones is overgrown with weeds, and the road paved with stones on the ground has been covered by weeds. .

There is no trace of life anywhere, and Onikiri took a little effort to detour here just now.

Tian Qing turned her gaze to the entrance of the dormitory in front of her. The corridor was covered with a layer of dust, and there was no trace of anyone passing by.

"It turns out that the distance from the pool to the door is only five steps."

"Even the pool seemed far away to me."

... Tianqing said with a blank face.

At this time, no matter what the situation in the rear was, they didn't care about it. Onikiri just hugged her, listened to her softly, and then raised his hand to open the door for her that hadn't been opened since she left.

The sound of heavy wood was heard, and what came into view was a quiet and simple Japanese room. Tianqing got off Onikiri and stepped on the tatami of her bedroom again. The situation was quite different.

"...This room is so small." She raised her hand to take off the haori that was hanging beside the screen: "Before, I thought that these coats were hung so high that I couldn't reach them by standing on tiptoe. "

As she spoke, she glanced at the bird pattern on the back of Haori, and then casually put the clothes on the table next to her.

"It turns out that this place is so small and so fragile."

Her voice was very soft, while Onikiri stood in the narrow room with her head slightly lowered, her brows and eyes drooping, and only Tianqing's figure was reflected in her deep eyes.

Outside this small room, there is an extremely powerful battle that is turmoil in Japan. The thunder and lightning of the dying struggle angrily divide the sky into many parts, and at the same time, the roar of warlocks and monsters can be heard endlessly.

The sound of rumbling—rumbling—came intermittently, and the door was flickering and dark, and the long-awaited dawn could not come.

The stench of the wraith and the filth of the spell even made Onikir's body heavy.

But after entering this room, he almost relaxed every nerve in his body, just stood quietly at the door, guarding her previous cage, and accompanied her to carefully examine the past pains one by one.

He will not disturb her, nor will he allow anyone to disturb her.

"……found it."

Later, Tian Qing stopped in front of a low table, and found a jewelry box made of wood. The outer layer was decorated with delicately embroidered cloth, because it was placed in the innermost drawer of the low table with extra care. Even the years and months have passed without being covered with dust.

Holding the jewelry box, Tianqing held a relieved smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Onikiri, I remembered many things from the past when I came here."

She beckoned Onikiri to approach, and Onikiri also approached with the lightest steps, while lowering her eyes, she looked at the box in her hand seriously, her breathing was so light that only Tianqing could hear it at a distance.

"I remembered that before I was grounded by them, I would secretly explore the mansion alone, and got lost several times... There would always be a small ball of light leading me back to the room."

"When I'm not happy, I seem to see a little ball of light and fall asleep quickly afterwards... and I don't have nightmares."

"Sometimes, I still feel that someone is with me, but I can't even see anyone when I look back."

"The most serious time, I climbed outside the wall and encountered a big monster grinning at me. That was the first time I saw such a scary monster. I was so frightened that I couldn't move my legs... That time, too. A light appeared to drive away the monster."

"...I asked who is that ball of light? At that time, I really felt that it was not a dream, it could not be a dream, I really felt that the ball of light was protecting me all the time, so I asked the other party, I am not afraid of monsters and ghosts, Can she be my friend?"

"Because I have no friends..."

When Tianqing said this, her eyes felt swollen, but she still raised her hand to wipe away the tears before they welled up.

Onikiri didn't bother, but saw how many hairs on her temples were sticking to her cheeks after wiping her tears, so he raised his hand to pick it up for her and stroked it behind her ears.Tianqing looked up at Guiqie, pursed her lips, and felt that she had almost calmed down.

"...Yes, I'd better hurry up."

Thinking of this, Tianqing condensed a bit of spiritual power on her fingertips, and a faint blue light shone on her left hand, and then nimbly got into the keyhole of the jewelry box——Onikiri recognized that the jewelry box was Made with spiritual power locks, only specific people can open them.

click-

There was a subtle sound of unlocking the lock, Tianqing opened the jewelry box, and for the first time saw several faint yellow rays of light above the ornaments of the jewelry box.

The light was attached to a bracelet woven with plants. Tianqing carefully picked up the bracelet, and the small flower protected by a special blessing on it bloomed proudly just like before.

The ball of light circled on the bracelet, and then floated in front of Tianqing. The soft and warm light was exactly the same as Tianqing remembered. Her cheeks were illuminated by the light, and she opened her mouth almost at the same time as the ball of light.

"Mom, I'm here to pick you up."

"Tianqing, I finally saw you—"

Both she and the sounding ball of light fell into silence at the same time, and then there was a chuckle with a little cry.

"It's been too long."

'Long time no see. '

"..."

'...'

After many years of "reunion", Tianqing was so complicated that she didn't know what to say, and she didn't even dare to think about how long Bai Niaochu had been waiting in this place.

She didn't dare to think about it, after all, this place was as pale and indifferent as she saw when she came in, if she wanted to wait here like this, she would definitely feel quite lonely.

She held the jewelry box in her hand, opened her mouth, and finally gave up.

It's better to get out of here now.

……

It was gray.

At the moment of reunion, neither mother nor daughter said anything else, and the ball of light was quickly glued back to the bracelet. Tianqing carefully took out the innocuous gadgets she put in the jewelry box, leaving only her mother's Things, turned to look at Onikiri: "Onikiri, we can go back."

Onikiri looked at Tianqing, nodded slightly, raised his hand and hugged Tianqing who didn't have much strength left, and at the same time said in a deep voice: "Your mother, only these fragments are left."

He stared ahead, with complicated emotions under his half-drowned eyelids.

Tianqing was startled, knowing Onikiri best, she knew that this was not Onikiri's untimely thoughts, his tone was full of helplessness and pity.

She was also a little surprised that Onikiri would be distracted by this matter at first, but when she thought about Ichimoren who was practicing with Onikiri, she suddenly realized.

She once heard Onikiri say that "I want to be as reliable as Ichimoren", so she thought that Ichimoren is an object he will respect in Onikiri's heart-it is estimated that Onikiri is very concerned about the fact that his mother can reunite with Ichimokuren How much is there to look forward to it.

She laughed and shook her head: "Don't be discouraged, take this to Lord Yimulian and Ghost Lantern, maybe there will be a way. At least in hell, if mother stays a little longer, there is still a chance to get a body, and see When I was in the state of my mother, I understood..."

"She didn't really die like me at the time. Maybe there are fragments belonging to my mother in this world, and Lord Yimulian will definitely find a way for my mother."

"In this world, there is no one who loves mother more than Master Yimulian."

She explained that Onikiri seemed to be slightly comforted by her, and the haze in his eyes dissipated a little. He was about to say something, but an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in front of the two who were about to leave.

"...Shiratori Tianqing, you still have the face to come back!"

……

The sky was gray, the cold wind was howling, and the sound of spells and blades meeting outside could be heard endlessly.

In the remote courtyard of Shiratori's house, a good-looking girl in a women's sari suit held a few spells in her hand, glaring at Tenharu who was hugged by Onikiri.

Tianqing was startled, and looked at the girl's attire in front of her—she even got the token of the fifth-rank Onmyoji, and the aura radiating from her body was much stronger than before. She had obviously grown up a lot, but only This is unchanged.

"You are still very persistent in making trouble for me..."

Tianqing's gaze was calm, and she pronounced her name without any disturbance.

"...Shiratori Ameya."

"What kind of tone are you talking about? Shiratori Tianqing, today I must save your life! You are responsible for everything outside, right? You have ruined the pride of the Shiratori family! You are half human and half Demon monster!"

Shiratori Temi said angrily, these words fell into Onikiri's ears and made his face darken, but Tianqing secretly patted Onikiri on the shoulder to calm him down, and at the same time opened his mouth with clear eyes.

"If it's really an upright pride, will it be easily destroyed by a half-human, half-demon monster like me?"

"...You! What do you mean by this?!" Shiratori Tianmi frowned, with an ugly expression on his face.

"You've been fooled by your father all the time, but now you turn around and take a look...the facts are all in front of you." Tian Qing looked indifferently: "The answer you really need to see clearly is never in me."

Her tone was calm and calm, her eyes did not waver in the slightest, instead she looked at Shiratori Ameya directly and confidently.

He happened to be hugged by Onikiri, so Shiratori Ameya had to raise his head slightly to look directly into Tianqing's eyes.

...Will this be the first time she looked directly into Tianqing's eyes?

It turns out that Tianqing looks like this?

She had indeed heard that she had returned to her original appearance after the pieces were pieced back together, but the current Shiratori Tianqing, even after a great battle, her clothes and hairstyle were messed up, her fair and beautiful face was stained with dirt, her eyes But it is clear and bright, and the whole person is breathtakingly beautiful.

Every word she uttered was clear-cut, and every gesture she made was calm.

Just like she is not in the middle of the battlefield now, but sitting in an elegant hall, a princess wearing the most luxurious clothes and combing the most beautiful makeup and hair, she is not at all embarrassed.

Instead, the one who was embarrassed... was himself who insisted on rushing out to fight her.

Shiratori Amami looked at Tianqing, and suddenly felt that he had...

"...you have already lost," before she could finish her words, Tianqing had already said: "Look back, go out to look, or look up at the ghosts and angry monsters that linger in the sky...all of them It's proof."

Shiratori Tianmi seemed to want to say something, the hand holding the talisman tightened and loosened, and finally... she lowered her head quietly.

Where does she need to look back.

She knew what was behind without turning her head—thousands of youkai who came to attack the Shiratori family, and hundreds of onmyojis and magicians.

She is very clear that even if the warlocks slander the Shiratori family's self-control, the anger of the monsters must be true - she has loved monsters and her shikigami since she was a child, and it is impossible for a monster with a pure personality to frame humans and do things for no reason. Rally to retaliate against a target.

The pride of the Shiratori family will no longer exist from this day on.

Shiratori Tianya felt her throat was dry, her eyes were hot and swollen, and all the voices became noisy and harsh noises to her ears.

She seemed to feel that Tianqing and the samurai monster had passed her by, but she didn't have the energy to investigate further, because what the two of them were going to...was the upright light that no longer belonged to her in the future.

……

...

#75

time flies.

It has been a year since the joint war between Onmyoji and Conjurers that shocked Japan.

After passing Shiratori Tenya who lost his fighting spirit that day, Tianqing and Onikiri were sent back to Daidaiji's house by Ichimokuren who came to greet him, and then returned the mother's soul fragments to Ichimokuren.

After that, Tomoyo was going to let her change clothes, go to bed and rest, but Tianqing surprisingly didn't feel tired at all, and said a word: "No, I think I'll go back to Honmaru now."

This surprised Tomoyo: "Are you going back now?"

"Yes, I'll go back now." Tianqing replied, although the onmyoji and conjurers outside were still rushing to clear up the remaining magic power and resentment, she said with great determination: "I want to go back now, because I haven't been back for a long time."

Zhishi didn't know what Tianqing's mentality change was for, but her decision was in line with the ghost's heart - he had long felt that her state was not suitable for staying and fighting, so he hugged her without hesitation. : "Then go back, before you change your mind."

After finishing speaking, the space-time shuttle device was activated in a hurry, and a burst of white light lit up in the courtyard outside the main hall of the Daosi Temple, and the two disappeared just like that.

In this way, Tianqing returned to Honmaru feeling unreal.

The strong light suddenly appeared and disappeared. Before she opened her eyes, she first felt a warm wind from Honmaru, followed by the familiar aroma of flowers and plants and the lush scenery.

Onikiri put her back on the ground, and before she could even stand still, lively footsteps came from the direction of the main hall.

"The general is back?"

"It's the master who's back! We'll go to meet him right away!"

"Thick, messy, Shinano, the general seems to be back!"

"...My lord!"

Tall and short figures appeared from the end of the corridor, Tianqing squinted her eyes in the sunlight, and before she had the real feeling of returning to Honmaru, those faces she hadn't seen for a long time surrounded her with joy .

She remembered that what filled her ears at that time were these words filled with joy and emotion——

"Master, I thought you would never come back again!"

"Lord, master! I, I..."

"My lord, we miss you so much!!"

"Master, it really scared us all at that time. We pray for you every day. It's great that you can come back..."

"General, can you finally rest assured this time? You really did a great job!"

The sword man in Honmaru cried and laughed, no matter how withdrawn he was when he heard her come back, or he rushed to the main entrance in a hurry to look at her from a distance, his eyes were full of confirmation and nervousness.

Tianqing still didn't know how to react, after a long time, when Xiao Ye struggled to get out from the crowd and put her head close to her, she finally laughed.

"Pfft-"

That smile was pure joy and relaxation, perhaps because this kind of expression rarely appeared on Tianqing's face, and the swordsmen standing in front of her were all taken aback, with both disbelief and amazement written on their faces.

Because...it turns out that the smiles of their masters when they are sincerely happy are different from all other expressions...it is so beautiful.

Almost none of them could look away.

And Tianqing stood in the middle of them, first habitually raised her left hand to stroke Xiaoye's head, and then smiled softly.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm back, I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

"I'm also... worried about you."

Xiao Ye, who was touched on the head by her, also blushed and expressed her feelings a little unaccustomed.

When Tianqing heard the words, her heart warmed up, she raised her arms and hugged Xiaoye, and responded softly: "... Well, I worried Xiaoye and everyone else, it seems that I am really an incompetent judge."

Guilt oozes from her tone, and the men with swords surrounding her noticed the battle marks on Tianqing's body and their eyes have changed a lot. They are sure that she has experienced a lot outside, and they all want to comfort her.

It's just that at this juncture, no one has thought of how to speak.

Until a voice came from afar——

"Who said you're incompetent?"

A voice came from the crowd, Tianqing raised her eyes, and met Karasuma's tolerant eyes.

She felt that she hadn't talked to Karasuma for a long time, and he was the same as when they first met, wearing the black and red clothes and sitting barefoot on the tree branch.

He pursed his red lips, glanced at Yingwan who had returned from his practice, and smiled.

"As a father, it doesn't matter what the other judges are, no matter what you do, as the judge of the father, as long as it is you."

Karasuma's unique voice pierced through the crowd and reached Tianqing's heart with incomparable clarity.

The wind was blowing with cherry petals, and on that sunny afternoon, these words seemed extraordinarily sincere and soft.

It even made Tianqing feel at a loss for a moment, full of emotion: "Little Karasuma..."

She wanted to say some words of thanks, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by other sword men.

"Yes! As long as my master is you!" Yamato Mori was the first to speak.

"Yes, General, everyone has been waiting for you to come back this time." Yao Yan said with one hand on his hip and smiled.

"It has nothing to do with fakes or anything. I know that I am your sword, and this will never change." Yamabagiri, who returned from training, took off the sheet that covered him, and his blue eyes were confident and moving.

"Master is really loved by everyone...but I won't lose." California Qingguang smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Yes, I am the same as Karasuma-sama...as long as the master is you!"

"Although master, you do sometimes have some strange thoughts, but... I like you too!"

"Yes, my lord, I and my younger brothers have always trusted you."

"Owner……"

"My lord, and I..."

The voices of the swordsmen rose and fell, and Tianqing's original gratitude was overwhelmed. She hardly found a chance to intervene, and was overwhelmed by the gratitude sent by the swordsmen.

She stood in the center at a loss. After all, this might be the first time that she felt that she was being believed by so many people.

They all looked at her seriously and recognized her.

"……Wow!"

At this moment, a hearty and mischievous voice sounded from behind her, which startled her.

She turned her head instinctively, and at the same time, the visitor put a gloved hand on her shoulder, patted it, and added with a smile: "...Yes, master, don't worry about who is incompetent. For us, this Honmaru needs you."

"Our god judge only needs you."

Under the bright sunshine, Tsurumaru who appeared unexpectedly, said with a bright and inclusive smile.

"I said master, you understand... Oh, oh, why are you crying? This really scared me."

"Obviously we recognize you, it's not something that should surprise you."

"...What a lovely master."

As Tsurumaru said, Tianqing, whose back was turned to the swordsmen and whose face was crying, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cried out with a loud cry, scaring the swordsmen into panic.

But seeing the scene in front of her, Onikiri, who personally carried the person back, didn't bother her, but waited for her very calmly.

All the time... just waiting within reach of her, silently waiting for her.

At the same time, he secretly promised himself that he would definitely give her more in the future——

More self-confidence that allows her to accept happiness.

He will let her know that she is worthy of all the good things in the world, so that the next time she receives someone's kindness, she will not be moved to tears, but accept it with a bright and confident smile.

...he looked forward to such a future.

In the afternoon, the sun is gentle.

……

...

After solving the big stone in his heart, Tianqing naturally focused on resting after returning to the pill.

Considering that the lingering ghosts and rampant monsters have not completely subsided in the present world, Tianqing did not let Natsume return to the present world right away—she and Natsume stayed in Honmaru leisurely for a month until Yuanhui came After welcoming Natsume, I learned the continuation of the matter——

At that time, after Tianqing returned to Honmaru, the magic power gushing from Shiratori's house seemed to be sucked by many low-level magic spirits, causing a wave of chaos in the world. Fortunately, there were many magicians Because the incidents were concentrated near Kyoto, the curse spirits of this wave of upgrades were all pulled out.

The same goes for the berserk monsters—it’s just that the way to deal with monsters is to appease rather than retreat, so the Onmyoji Association needs to spend more effort than conjurers, and it took two full weeks to successfully kill all the monsters. The monster calmed down.

As for the Shiratori family, it was the result of all members being brought back to the Onmyoji Association for trial.

Later, Yuanhui said that many high-ranking onmyojis in Shiratori's family who were found to be secretly cooperating in conspiracy were directly deprived of their identities and honors by the Onmyoji Association forever. Just like ordinary people, they will be sent to the judiciary, and they will pay the consequences for the disaster they caused artificially.

As for the family members who are innocent and know nothing about the incident, Tomoyo said that he would help to take care of and observe secretly.

Asked about the wreckage of Anzhiju, Yuanhui said that he had inspected it, and there was not much mana left on the Anzhiju that was destroyed at the scene. Recycled and completely destroyed.

The present world has since calmed down, and the aftershocks after the incident don't seem to have caused much disturbance.

It’s just that most people don’t know that the existence of Anzhiju has actually induced the birth of many special magic spirits. Any of these magic spirits is a disaster for the world, but those are taken away by the foresighted ghost lamp as toys. The "wooden box" checked by Yuanhui on the scene is actually the wreckage of the ghost lamp.

The real Anzhiju was not completely destroyed at first, but Tianqing just managed to store a ghost lamp, enough for him to bring it back to the bedroom in hell as a decoration.

Considering what the ghost lamp told her, Tianqing also imagined that the Anzhiju incident might cause some problems in the future. These problems have not been imagined by her, but they are probably problems that can be dealt with in this world, and they will not form like this again. Such an exaggerated threat.

...After all, this is the seal she bought with one hand.

Yes, she hasn't been able to raise her right hand since the incident ended.

That day she was backlashed by Anzhiju's terrifying spell power, and she inevitably lost her right hand. Yuanhui and Guideng didn't know about this at first, and it was only after the incident subsided that Tianqing let them know. He ran around looking for a solution to the curse for her, and even often came to Honmaru to chatter.

"You don't have to worry too much, I've said it all, and I'll find a solution to the curse myself in the future."

Looking at Yuanhui and Ghost Lantern who came to her Honmaru as guests again, Tianqing said helplessly.

"It's my freedom to investigate the solution to the curse, and you can't influence my thoughts."

"...It's just my hobby."

Yuanhui and Gui Deng, who usually dislike each other, have the same attitude towards her in this matter.

Tianqing was at a loss for what to do about it, and she wanted to say that it was fine if they came to visit alone, but when the two of them came together...it was almost a series of bombardments of caring that flattered her, and it was not easy for her to deal with it.

Especially when Yuanhui and Ghost Lantern appear together, they will always attract the attention of the third cheapskate, and then turn the matter into a war between the three men.

"...You guys are here again?"

Wearing a simple summer suit, Onikiri tied up his long hair and raised an eyebrow: "Since we haven't found anything in the investigation, we don't need to come here to report again and again. There's nothing here to entertain you."

He folded his arms and leaned against the door, his forehead was wet with sweat, which was caused by busy repairing the roof of Tianqing's dormitory in midsummer.

During this period of time, every time I heard the swordsmen complain about the hot weather, or wanted to add some strange equipment to the dormitory, after moving some furniture called "electrical appliances" from Wanwu, Onikiri would always personally install it for Tianqing in the dormitory. , so that her resting space becomes more comfortable.

Tianqing didn't even know that Onikiri had such a caring, "virtuous" side to his family, but seeing how natural he was at work, she didn't say anything.

Anyway, it won't be her turn to intervene in the future, the three men will naturally quarrel and rush outside to fight - she will not participate, the quarrel is their business, and she just wants to be her judge right now.

Then, looking at the lively Honmaru, a year passed quickly, and today is here in the blink of an eye.

Everything is peaceful, and there are more and more members in this pill. Just dealing with everyone's daily life is enough to make every day extraordinary and satisfying.

Today is as happy and stable as every day in the past year. After coming out of the main hall, Tianqing, who has just discussed with Foxnosuke and arranged the squad list for next week, is preparing to go to the kitchen to assist Candlestick Cutting and Adzuki Nagako to make short knives refreshments.

This itinerary is what she is used to, but today, just as she took a step from the main hall, Kaguya Ji's face with exquisite makeup suddenly magnified in front of her, her eyes sparkled and said: "...Master Tianqing! One glance Ren-sama is about to come to Honmaru!"

"Master Yimulian...?"

It's been a long time since I heard the news of this name, and Tianqing couldn't react at the first moment—it was only after a few seconds that she buffered up. She hurriedly put down the documents she was holding in her hands and rushed to the space-time shuttle device to meet her.

Then, as Kaguya Ji predicted, the space-time shuttle device made a silver bell sound, and then the light appeared, and the silhouettes of Yimulian and Shenlong appeared on the light.

"Master Yimulian!"

Tianqing's eyes were wide open, and her face was full of joy—after all, since the end of that war, she had only seen one side after another.

Later, Yuanhui only brought her news about Yimulian once - she only knew that he took his mother's soul fragments on the journey, and no one knew what happened after that.

Yimulian was very relieved to see the smile on Tianqing's face, he nodded gracefully, and greeted him gently: "You seem to have recovered almost... and Onikiri, long time no see."

"...Mmm." Guiqie's muffled voice came from behind Tianqing, and he didn't know when he followed, but when he saw Yimulian, he nodded his head very appreciatively.

"Master Yimulian, why did you come here this time?"

"I came here this time to show you someone."

"Take me to meet someone? It's..."

"...It's sunny."

Just when Tianqing was in a daze, a familiar voice suddenly sounded between Yimulian and her. Tianqing widened her eyes in disbelief, and immediately looked at the source of the sound—only to see a pocket-sized figure raising Yimulian. His long hair stuck out from his shoulders, and he smiled at her again.

That smile was the same as the memory of Yimulian she had seen. There was no doubt that the palm-sized little person sitting on Yimulian's shoulders was her mother.

"...Mom, have you found a way to condense the entity?"

Tianqing asked in astonishment, and then remembered it belatedly—this may be the first time since she was two years old that she officially reunited with her mother, and it was no longer in a dream, in someone else's memory, or in the past. In the form of a soul ball of light.

Even though it was shrunk many times, it was the first time that she could clearly see all the expressions and eyes on her mother's face.

"Yes, they took me to hell together and found a lot of extra fragments for me, which helped me to condense my figure a little bit—it's just that my situation is different from yours, and each fragment has changed over time. It is quite weak, so although there are many fragments in my body, the spiritual power is not enough."

"So she still needs to spend a long time repairing and refining her spiritual power."

Yimulian explained with a smile: "...The other thing is, because some fragments of Ah Chu have been lingering in hell for a long time, Ah Chu can no longer be regarded as a human being. I checked her spiritual network, and it is estimated that she has half-stepped into it. The Realm of Demon Gods."

"This..." Tianqing's eyes were dazed. She received too many messages at once. She didn't know how to react. She just stretched out her hand to hold her mother in her palm, and carefully checked her body with her spiritual vision ability: "Indeed...then..."

"Becoming a monster is also what I expect, so that I can be with your father for a long, long time?"

The good-looking woman was sitting on Tianqing and talking open-mindedly, her overly cheerful personality really made Tianqing find no place to complain, and even made her unexpectedly quickly enter the mood.

"Then... Is there anything we can do to help you restore your mother's body? In terms of spiritual power..."

"Hahaha, no, in fact, I have almost recovered."

Shiratori smiled at first, and then beckoned Tianqing to bring her ears closer, so that she could whisper to her: "And now I can occasionally... use demon power to change back to my original posture, this is what I discovered a few days ago , probably at night...to give your father a surprise."

"Night? What surprise?" Tianqing looked at her mother in a daze.

And the palm girl looked at Tianqing's dumbfounded look, with a look of surprise on her face: "Oh, Tianqing, haven't you and Guiqie...'that' yet?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Niaochu explained in Tianqing's ear solemnly—"that" means co-sleeping and making babies.

This explanation made Tian Qing's face turn red - even she knew about it!After all, since she returned to Honmaru, she has been studying hard to catch up with the progress of ordinary human children's private school, okay? !

So she blushed and blamed: "...Mom! Don't say such things as soon as you come back!"

"Hey." Bai Niaochu just smiled slyly, and jumped back to Yimulian's shoulders—similar to his own daughter, Yimulian had no clue about Bai Niaochu's "whispers" and "hints", but was curious and pure looking at her.

It was their "son-in-law" Onikiri who quietly turned his face away while observing Tianqing's reaction.

...Later, this "shy" topic was quickly brushed aside by Tianqing.

A group of four people approached the main hall from the side of the space-time shuttle device. After telling a lot about the recent situation, the quiet Yimulian suddenly spoke.

"...By the way, before talking about these things, your mother and I have one more thing to discuss with you."

"what?"

"I plan to accompany your mother back to take over this Honmaru Barrier—you and Onikiri can travel and come back at any time."

"This..." Tianqing didn't expect Yimulian to have this plan, and even her mother looked determined. To be honest, traveling with Onikiri has always been something she longed for, but she suddenly asked her to respond. I didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, before she thought of asking Guiqie for his opinion, he had already interjected into the conversation: "Okay."

"... Onikiri! Is that what you agreed to?"

"Because I want to find a way to undo the curse on your right hand."

Onikiri glanced at her, his serious eyes made Tianqing understand that Onikiri spoke after careful consideration, but she couldn't immediately agree, after all...
