[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

The stiff fur rubbed against Qingming's palm, and the strong emotion was conveyed to Qingming's heart along with a slight itching—it turned out that Xiaobai's feelings for him were so touching.

"Xiaobai..." Qingming couldn't help sighing, he squatted down and put his arms around Xiaobai's neck.

Seimei never paid too much affection for Shikigami.If the monsters are willing to stay, then let them stay; if the monsters want to leave, then let them go-no force.

Because Seimei knows that although monsters are attracted to humans, they are pursuing freedom in their bones.They stop for a short time for human beings, harvest precious memories, and then start again.

Even for Xiaobai, he treats him with the feeling of raising it and letting it go.

Before leaving Xiaobai, Qingming specially modified the enchantment of the courtyard, and even used all the precious materials he could find.

The enchantment of the courtyard will absorb the free spiritual power, and then gather it in the courtyard for Xiaobai to practice.

Hakuzosu is a great monster, but his talent is still much lower than that of Dai Tengu.With Bai Zangzhu's lifespan, it is impossible to live for a thousand years.

And the rich spiritual power subtly changes Xiaobai's body, improving its potential and prolonging its lifespan.That's why Xiaobai can wait until Qingming returns, and even live for a few hundred years.

This is Qingming's time to compensate Xiaobai. Originally, he would let Xiaobai go free, but the moment he saw Xiaobai, Qingming knew that if he said the word "freedom", it would be an insult to Xiaobai .

"Xiaobai, I'm back. From now on, please stay by my side like this." Qingming stroked Xiaobai's tense back again and again, and said with a smile.

"Master Qingming, do you still need me?" Xiaobai said unconfidently.

"Of course, you are my first shikigami and my only one now. Your existence is my greatest comfort."

A wandering heart found a harbor again and settled down.

"Master Seimei, Lord Reiko, please follow me in. I have not touched any layout of the courtyard."

There are traces of time everywhere in the courtyard, but most of them are well preserved.

Qingming returned to her room, took out the spare fan, and showed a satisfied expression.

Reiko who came in with Qingming couldn't help complaining: "Actually, the fan is your body, right?"

Seimei was completely unmoved: "The fan is made of special materials and methods, holding the fan can maximize my abilities."

Reiko was choked, and this reason was simply irrefutable.

"Master Seimei, I want to introduce a new member to you." The mask around Xiaobai turned into a shy expression.

Seimei and Reiko looked at each other in surprise. They didn't remember that there was a second monster in this courtyard. Could it be that Xiaobai brought it back from outside after he could enter and exit the barrier freely?

Yes, Xiaobai was able to freely enter and exit the enchantment not long ago.The improvement of Xiaobai's strength is part of it, and the weakening of the enchantment's power is another part - after all, the existence of the enchantment has already reached its limit in a thousand years.

"It's Sakura... Master Seimei, do you still remember the cherry tree in the garden? Maybe it's the reason why I talk to the cherry tree every day. One day, that cherry tree turned into a monster..."

……

"Little fox, you count under me every day, and you disturb me so much that I can't sleep!"

Probably God couldn't stand Xiaobai's self-torturing behavior. One day, the cherry tree suddenly spoke.

"Who?!" Xiaobai was taken aback. It hadn't heard any other voice for a long, long time.

"Who am I? Should I say my name when I introduce myself?" The crisp voice was a bit distressed, "Since I am a cherry blossom tree, then my name is Yingzi——Okay, little fox, I am Sakura!"

Xiaobai bristled his hair, looking warily at the cherry blossom tree in front of him.The cherry blossom tree shook its branches as if saying hello, and dropped petals of cherry blossoms all over Xiaobai's body.

"Hee hee, it's so fun!" A five or six-year-old girl poked her head out of the cherry blossoms, her cherry-colored hair blended with the flowers.

"Wow!" Xiao Bai shook his body to shake off the petals, and cried out in dissatisfaction.

"Don't be angry, little fox, I'm here to touch you." Saying that, Yingzi jumped down from the tree and landed lightly on the ground.

"Who asked you to touch it! How did you appear!" Xiaobai bared his teeth, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"How did it appear?" Yingzi thought for a while, a little uncertain, "A voice told me that I would evolve the ability to travel through time and space, so I have been working hard to achieve this."

"Originally I was in the dark in a daze, but recently the spiritual energy here has been nourishing me, and I gradually became conscious... Later, I heard your continuous counting voice, and I was woken up by you like this gone."

Yingzi was born in the expectation of Reiko and Seimei, conceived in the rich aura, and finally woke up in the call of Xiaobai.

Reiko was able to time travel because of Ying Zi's ability, and Ying Zi was born because of Reiko's time travel. It's hard to tell who made who.

What Reiko said when she just arrived in the Heian Era resurfaced in Shiro's mind.

It finally understood its true mission—not to guard the courtyard, but to send Reiko back to Heiankyo to meet Seimei.

Then, it will meet Seimei-sama again, right?

"Little fox, don't ignore me! Sure enough, you still have to touch it." Yingzi's chubby face wrinkled.

"My name is Xiaobai, not Little Fox!"

"But you are a fox, a fox that can't even change into a human form."

"Who said it won't happen again?" It's just that it hasn't changed... Xiaobai thought with a guilty conscience.

Yingzi had some malicious intentions: "Then you can be a different person?"

"Change, change!" Xiaobai recalled the related spells, and the scene of meeting Qingming for the first time appeared in his mind.

……

"That's it, Yingzi has been with me for a long time. If it wasn't for Yingzi, I would have gone crazy. However, since sending Master Reiko back, Yingzi has been exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. I don't know when she will wake up." Come here." Xiaobai looked at the cherry blossom tree with lingering eyes, and spoke slowly.

It is not lost, nor sad, because it is used to waiting, so as long as it knows that Yingzi will wake up sooner or later, it can continue to stay here quietly.

Reiko patted Xiaobai's back vigorously: "Don't worry, Laobai, Qingming and I will wait with you this time!"

Xiaobai was stunned for a few seconds before hesitantly asked: "Old... Bai? Are you talking about me?"

"That's right, I was called Xiaobai when I was a child, and I'm called Laobai when I'm old. There's nothing wrong with that? Laobai, you have a beard growing on your chin. It's strange to be called 'Xiaobai'." Lingzi gently tugged on Xiaobai. The hair hanging down from the white chin looks plausible.

"..." Although it sounds reasonable, it is indeed more than 1000 years old, and it is indeed very old, but... it is still a baby in its heart!

Xiaobai is a little entangled. When describing Yingzi's deeds, it deliberately ignores its own human form, fearing that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

But now, if it doesn't take human form, I'm afraid it won't be able to get rid of the title of "Old White".

Thinking of Master Qingming calling him "Old Bai", Xiao Bai couldn't help shivering.

"Lord Reiko, although Xiaobai has grown older, deep down he is still the same Xiaobai back then." The slightly hoarse voice said these words slowly, as if a late old man insisted that he was not old.

Reiko showed sympathy in her eyes: "Well, old... Xiaobai is not old."

Xiao Bai squirmed his mouth and sighed, sure enough, monsters also look at faces.

"thump"!

After a burst of white mist, Xiaobai turned into a human form.

A five or six-year-old boy appeared in front of Seimei and Reiko.

The boy has long white hair, two furry fox ears trembling slightly on the top of his head, a circle of red demon patterns are drawn around his eyes, and two tails are exposed behind him.

If age is ignored, there is nothing wrong with Xiaobai's transformation, but Seimei always finds this image familiar.

"Look, Master Lingzi, Xiaobai is not old." Xiaobai said in a childish voice, her wet eyes were facing Lingzi just like that.

"Okay, so cute!" Reiko is a typical plush lover, the charm of her furry tail and ears is hard to resist, not to mention that Xiaobai has become such a cute boy.

"Come on, let me pinch your face!" Reiko stretched out her sinful hand to lick Xiaobai's face, "It's so cute! I feel like I saw Qingming when he was young!"

Qingming finally understood why the eyes looked familiar. If those red demon patterns were removed, wouldn't Xiaobai's human form be exactly the same as when he was five or six years old? !

"Qing, Master Qingming, help!" While Qingming was thinking, Xiaobai called for help intermittently, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai is about to be suffocated to death!"

Seimei rolled his eyes, and saw...

A white head was firmly buried in Reiko's chest.

A certain nerve in Qingming's brain snapped: "Xiaobai, I order you to never turn into a human again! Did you hear that, again, no, no, yes!"

There is a mother in the front and Xiaobai in the back. Why is his life so hard!
