Bamboo branch girl

According to Zhuji's request, Huang decided to spend her honeymoon in the bamboo forest where Zhuji once lived.

As before, this bamboo forest is evergreen all year round, and even if there are snowflakes falling from time to time, it is just a natural dye embellished with green.Huang built a small wooden house in the depths of the bamboo forest by means of magic. In order to make the house more unique, he surrounded a small yard and planted cold plums in front of the house.

The forest is on the mountain, if you go to the edge, you can see a vast ocean.

The villagers here are no longer the same group of ignorant villagers as before.In this age when people and ghosts live together, most of them are no longer afraid of ghosts, and sometimes invite nearby ghosts to eat together.

Knowing that two big figures had come to the bamboo forest, the villagers immediately stopped all activities on the mountain.If the whole bamboo forest is less popular, there will be less fun. Only Guanhu in the bamboo forest on the mountain is warmly welcoming Zhuji's arrival.

On the first day she came back, Zhuji started to be busy.The promised honeymoon turned out to be a welcome party for her, and many monsters of all sizes in the bamboo forest were circling around her, booing her and asking her how she was, until she couldn't get out.At one time they said that they were so lonely without a caretaker in the bamboo forest, at another time they said that they really hoped she would never leave in the future, and then one after another they talked about interesting things about the bamboo forest over the years.

Zhuji sat obediently, tilting her head and listening to them patiently.

But Huang avoided to the side, looking at the sea below the mountain, his thoughts seemed to return to the distant boyhood.

Her childhood playmate is gone, and his tenderness and kindness have been abandoned in the vicissitudes of life, only the innocence of the people around her remains... But, has she really not changed in the two boundless life and death?

From the day she tried power, Huang knew that she would no longer be as innocent as a child playing.

It wasn't until nightfall that Zhuji ran back to the cabin excitedly, holding the cutting board with both hands, gently placed it on the table, lifted the lid of the pot, and the hot seafood soup was fragrant.

"Master Huang! Try the seafood I made! It's just out of the oven!" Zhuji held her chin expectantly.She hadn't cooked with her own hands yet, so she was afraid that it wouldn't taste good.

How can we catch seafood this winter?Most likely the girl called some aquatic monster to break the ice and catch it.The monsters that can hook up with Zhuji, except Jinyuji, are Yasha. After all, her interpersonal relationship is really not very good.

"When will you learn how to cook human food?" Huang smiled lightly.He hugged Zhuji, and then led her frozen feet into the kotatsu with distress.

She is not used to wearing shoes, no matter it is winter frost or hot summer, her tender feet are always in contact with the rough ground.Although Huang had told her many times, she still forgot to put on her shoes properly.

Really, is it really destined to take care of her for the rest of her life?She is still so ignorant.Huang looked at her helplessly and dotingly, rubbing her head.

"I knew it a long time ago, and there are egg pancakes, which are much better than that Kitchen God."

"You drove away the Kitchen God without permission, and he cried to me for three days and three nights."

"What's the matter, brother, as long as I'm alone, can't it be fine? I don't need other unrelated people to bother me at all." Including the future children, Zhuji doesn't count them.

Regarding the child, she had no hope at all, and taking pollen from Hua Yeji was just to find comfort in her heart.The Haiyuan where she lives is too far away, so she cannot successfully combine with Gaotianyuan people to produce offspring, unless she finds a relatively close Weiyuan human being.

"What else?" Huang quietly waited for Zhuji to finish what she couldn't say.

And...she has another plan—to get Huang's Kusanagi sword within tonight.

This is the final time limit, and the flaw in Yata no Orochi's seal cannot be maintained for too long.The difference in strength between her and Huang is too great. Although she knows that the other party will not hurt her, this will make Huang feel separated from her.

"I heard from Jinyu Ji that there will be a feast of ghosts tonight." Zhu Ji went step by step to lure him into her trap.

"So?" Huang took a sip of fresh soup.

Zhuji shook his arm and said coquettishly: "Come with me! I haven't seen Jinyu Jijiang for a long time, and we also agreed to go to the soup restaurant of Grandma Tang. Guanhu can use his bamboo tube to carry I go!"

"No need for him." Huang got up and tidied up, and hugged Zhuji horizontally, "I'm faster than the bamboo tube."

It's true to say so, but wouldn't it be more enjoyable for Guanhu's bazooka to soar into the sky?Zhuji didn't say this out loud, just waited for Huang to take off slowly and cross the sea to reach the city.

Arara and Takehime planned to take a bath in the bathhouse before going to play in the street.

The once-a-month Banquet of Hundred Ghosts is actually nothing new.On the night of the winter festival, most of the ghosts who are not afraid of the cold come out to play.Speaking of this kind of monster, the first thing Takehime thinks of is Ibaraki Doji.

No matter in the world under the Hiruko well or in the real world, Ibaraki Doji is a monster whose whole body is extremely hot. However, Takehime thinks that the little Ibaraki in the Hiruko well is cuter. In this world, Ibaraki is too smart and evil. It made her spend so much effort to dispel his idea of ​​taking the Kusanagi sword.

So, tonight, she must seize every opportunity.

In all robbing, one party will always be hurt. Apart from healing, Zhuji doesn't seem to have tried to use other spells on Huang's body.Perhaps Wannianzhu has been used to the lessons she has learned over the years, which made her timid at critical moments.

"It's only one step away..."

Takehime was squatting beside the bath, tremblingly groping for the Kusanagi sword buried under Huang's clothes.Ara washed himself behind the screen of the bath, he didn't notice Takehime's abnormality.

If this opportunity is lost...

Ah, no!How could you betray your brother!

Isn't the resurrection of Yaqi Orochi-sama more important?If Yamata no Orochi really wants to destroy human beings, it actually has nothing to do with her.In fact, it is not impossible to go back to the ancient times, when everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and all kinds of morality and evil that restrict people are eliminated...

Thinking of all the benefits, Zhuji felt at ease. She held her breath and took the sword from under her clothes. She glanced behind the screen and found that the tall shadow was still moving.In the end, she ran fast without daring to turn her head, wishing she had a pair of wings.

Before that, she made an appointment with Guan Hu to wait in front of the bathhouse.

Although Guanhu didn't know what Zhuji was going to do, Guanhu would do what she said.

Zhuji hurriedly climbed onto Guanhu's bamboo tube, desperately asking him to use black magic to drive the bamboo tube to the place where Yamata no Orochi was sealed.When Guanhu was about to fly into the night sky, a small hand grabbed the bamboo tube.

"Bamboo Girl Sauce!"

It was a familiar voice, cute and lively, with some naughtiness in it.

"Eh?!" Zhuji suddenly turned her head.

Jinyu Ji finally changed into a red dress this time, and a male demon stood beside her at the same time. The male demon cast complicated emotions on Zhu Ji, and turned his head deliberately after meeting his eyes.

"I miss you so much!" Jinyu Ji jumped onto the bamboo tube and hugged Zhu Ji. She felt that the sword Zhu Ji was holding was in the way, so she pouted and said, "Why are you holding the tall one?" The knife? Could it be..."

There was something wrong with Jinyu Ji's eyes.

"I, I, I... I'm not... that..." Zhuji started to panic, and her arms holding the Kusanagi sword tightened unconsciously.

Jinyu Ji looked Zhuji up and down.

Since Zhuji got her wish and became Huang's bride, she didn't come to visit their old friends very often, which made Jinyu Ji feel that she was really meaningless.

That tall guy is stuffy and quiet, and has no advantages other than being handsome, so Jinyu Ji and Yasha are still against them being together.Seeing that Zhu Ji only came to the Hundred Ghosts Banquet with Guan Hu, and took away the tall man's portable sword, she always felt that Zhu Ji finally got tired of that man.

"Are you going to use it to secretly take revenge on the tall man?!" Jinyu Ji was excited.

"Jinyu Jijiang..." Zhuji hesitated to speak, but her desire was exposed.

"How handsome! Such a plan is so handsome!"

"What? You want to get rid of that man? Why don't you count as my uncle's share!" Yasha on the side finally couldn't bear to speak, he stepped forward and put his hands on Zhuji's shoulders, "Zhuji, you really figured it out .So this uncle is the most suitable person for you."

Guanhu mercilessly slapped the salty pig's hand off Zhuji's shoulder: "Hey, hey... Anyway, Master Zhuji is now the legal wife of Lord Huang, and she has recovered her divine status, so it's not our turn Speak."

"Soon, when Zhuji gets tired of playing with him, she'll just dump him." Yasha bared his sharp teeth, filtering out Guanhu's words at all.

"Hmph! Even if you dump the tall man, Zhu Jijiang is not yours!"

"What! Only this uncle is the only man who can take good care of her for the rest of her life. Brat, don't speak in such a tone that you are her!"

"Ahhh! Don't, don't, don't!"

"I didn't listen at all... I said you guys are arguing again... Hey! Let go of my mount!"

... Now the scene was chaotic, and the three monsters defended the issue of Zhuji's ownership.

But how could she belong to whom?She is herself!No one belongs to anyone, and one's own destiny should be controlled by oneself.It was this sentence that she had to remember for the rest of her life.

Taking advantage of their inattention, Zhu Ji just ran away, forgetting where to go to the place where Yamata no Orochi was sealed.She listened, and looked at the darkness around her in confusion.All she needs to do is wait for Yamata no Orochi's avatar, and then lead her to her destination.

Sure enough, after Zhuji sat and waited on a ladder for a while, several small snakes slithered over one after another, beckoning Zhuji to follow them.

At this time, light snow began to fall, and the sword in her arms touched her clothes, everything was so cold.

She knew that she was going to betray Huang, but she couldn't help but want to save that lord, and she had to do everything according to the orders of that ancient beast...

A few little snakes had to rest for a long time after gliding in the snow, and Zhuji became restless.She almost forgot... Snakes are going to hibernate. At this speed, how can they reach...

"laugh!"

Bright red splashed in front of her eyes, and then a sudden fire burned the bodies of the little snakes, and Zhuji's eyes were covered with raging red.

Only that person knows how to use fire to deal with Yamata no Orochi clone/body.

"Where are you going?" A cold male voice came from above Zhuji's head.

Zhuji raised her head tremblingly, then shook her head desperately at him, kept backing away, and murmured inarticulately: "...I...isn't like that..."

"You planned to do this a long time ago, right?" Huang got closer and closer to her,

"The Kusanagi sword has lost its original power since it sealed Yamata no Orochi, and it will be useless for you to take it."

"I don't know why I did that...but...my brain is telling me to do it...brother, you belong to me!" Zhuji said excitedly.

"As I said, no one belongs to anyone. I don't want to know what happened to you and Yamata no Orochi." After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night, leaving Zhuhime alone in a daze. Looking for it, even the sword in her hand was gone.

Is he mad?Or... brother wants to abandon her?

As long as he wants to give up, he can use any kind of reason.

The author has something to say: Huang has always been betrayed by humans once, so he is very sensitive to betrayal.

There are a few extra episodes ~ they are sweet.
