Shutenji sat on the deer's back and returned to the camp with him. She saw the human man sitting with the big tengu at a glance. When he saw Shutenji, he immediately stood up and respectfully After saluting to her, Jiu Tunji patted the little deer man on the shoulder to signal him to stop, and then she jumped down and walked slowly towards the man.

"Master Shuten Hime, thank you for your help." Seimei said.

Shutenji waved his hand, "If you really want to thank him, thank you Otengu." Her tone was quite cold, if it wasn't for Ootengu's sake, she would not have cared about his condition.

Seimei didn't care about her attitude, but just smiled with a good temper, "You and Ootengu-sama said the same thing, he asked me to thank you."

"Oh?" Jiu Tunji then paid more attention to this man. He was very generous, neither humble nor overbearing, but that was all. Jiu Tunji didn't have much affection for human beings, so there was no further text.

What broke the deadlock was the return of Yingcao and Yuki. The little girl ran away with bright eyes after seeing Jiu Tun Ji. When she was a few steps away from Jiu Tun Ji, she naturally opened her arms for a hug. Tunji slightly bent down and hugged her.

"Master Jiu Tunji, Ying Cao picked a lot of herbs with Sister Xue Nu today." She raised her head in Jiu Tun Ji's arms, "This one is for you." She left Jiu Tun Ji's embrace and put herself The dandelion in his hand was handed to Jiu Tunji. Due to the careful protection of the demon power, the dandelion is still full of vitality.

Jiu Tunji smiled and took the dandelion in her hand, took her hand and walked to the other side with her. It seemed that the two of them were going to play a game of blowing dandelions.

"Master Seimei," Yuki Nv came to Qingming's side. In her hand, there were a lot of herbs in the branch basket specially provided by Ibaraki Doji. She picked out a few plants from it and handed them to Qingming. "This is Yingcao picking for you. Herbal medicine, your wounds have not fully healed."

Ootengu glanced at the two of them and walked towards Ibaraki Doji. He was preparing dinner, and Ootengu decided to help him.Who knows, as soon as he walked to Ibaraki Doji's side, he heard Ibaraki Doji say coldly: "Anyway, you have been with me for so long with Lord Shutonhime, and I only give you a piece of advice. Men stay away."

Ootengu frowned: "Why? Because he is a human being?" At this point, Ootengu's voice also cooled down, "You may not know that Lord Shutenji's idea is that humans and monsters coexist peacefully. If you Keeping this kind of thinking, there is no need to say such things as assisting Lord Jiu Tunhime to become king, you have already walked on a different path from her from the very beginning."

After listening to his words, Ibaraki Doji sneered, and then he said mercilessly: "Stupid idea. You haven't figured out exactly who is inconsistent with Lord Shutonhime's ideas. In this case, I have given After your advice, the rest is up to you to decide. However, if you choose the wrong path, I will kill you regardless of whether Shutenhime-sama blocks it or not." In the last sentence, Ibaraki Doji said murderously, He didn't hide his true thoughts in the slightest.

"If it's the same, I'll return it to you as it is." Big Tengu said with a cold snort.This also made him completely lose the intention of helping him prepare dinner. He looked back at the camp at the end - Jiu Tun Ji and Yingcao were sitting together and playing around, and that kid would get into Jiu Tun Ji's arms from time to time Acting like a baby; Seimei and Yukino are studying how to eat herbal medicine; the three brothers Xiaoluo and Kamaitachi are also talking in a low voice, and even Ibaraki Doji is busy with dinner.In the entire camp, there seemed to be no place that could accept him.

After the big tengu walked to the depths of the forest, the little deer man hesitated for a moment and then came to Ibaraki Doji's side, "You said too much." The little deer man obviously heard the conversation between the two just now.

Ibaraki Doji kept moving his hands and said without raising his head: "People who can't see the reality clearly, it's okay to leave here. There is no need for such a stubborn waste by Mrs. Shutonhime's side. What's more," he paused , "If this fails to make him sober, then what he faces is no longer a verbal blow. What he wants to lose is his own life."

The little deer man said hesitantly: "...Isn't it my illusion? That man named Qingming gave me a very bad feeling. Sure enough, I should tell Jiu about this—"

"Don't do unnecessary things." Ibaraki Doji finally raised his head, his expression was very indifferent, "No matter what decision Shutenhime-sama makes, I will have no objection."

"When you know that man has a problem?" Xiaolu's voice sank.

The branch held in Ibaraki Doji's hand was broken by his fingers at that moment, "Being a king should make every decision carefully, and also bear the consequences of your own decisions."

"Then what's the point of you staying by her side?! Is it just to watch her step into a dangerous situation?" The little deer man paved the ground violently with his front hooves, and he seemed to push Ibaraki Doji away It means that this big monster who always speaks sarcasticly to Jiu Tunji still couldn't restrain his heart at the critical moment.

"I will do my best to protect her, so that the bad consequences will not befall her." Ibaraki Doji replied calmly. He lowered his head and began to handle the meat seriously.Ootengu has always been worried that Jiu Tunhime will bring the emotions of another world into the current world, but he will never understand that the person she cares about most at this time is herself who has always been her enemy in the other world , because this is a completely different life for her, she cherishes it very much, and because of this, she has repeatedly accommodated him.She shouldn't be so gentle, it will only hurt her, and if she doesn't realize it, this situation will continue indefinitely.But he still condoned her behavior.Because he was ready to bear all the price for her.

The little deer man was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he finally realized, "...he really can speak nice words." He could tell that Ibaraki Doji had indeed come to his senses.

The little deer man's fighting spirit disappeared without a trace, and he started to be dazed. He didn't have the consciousness of Ibaraki Doji, but he lost to a moron? !wrong!How can you compare this kind of thing with an idiot!It would be terrible if he won!Doesn't that mean that he is even more idiot than idiot? !But he is not reconciled to losing to him... What the hell is going on!

So, Ibaraki-douji watched the little deer boy turn around a few times with a tangled expression on his face, and then returned to the side of the three Kamaitachi brothers angrily.

After everyone sat around the bonfire and had dinner at night, Seimei took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Jiu Tun Ji, "Master Jiu Tun Ji, are you also going to the West Country?"

Jiu Tunji nodded.

"I have a heartfelt request," Seimei said, "Can you let me and Xuenv go with you? We will definitely not delay your trip, but we just hope that we can get your help when we cross the Kanmon Strait."

Shuten Hime looked at Otengu with some doubts, she didn't understand why her help was needed to cross the Kanmon Strait.

Daitengu immediately explained: "The Kanmon Strait cuts off the connection between Xiguo and here. If you want to cross the Kanmon Strait, you can only rely on those monsters living in the sea. Therefore, Seimei probably wants you to let the monsters in the water carry him. One ride."

"Exactly." Qingming nodded.

Jiu Tunji was playing with Yingcao's large dandelion at this time, her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"What are you going to the West Country for?" Jiu Tunji asked suddenly.

Qingming said truthfully, "I want to go to the martial arts tournament with Xue Nu."

Jiu Tunji was a little surprised, "Yue Nu wants to participate?"

Qingming smiled and said: "Of course not, we just went to watch the battle. To tell you the truth, I am actually an onmyoji. This time I went to find a monster who intends to form a contract with me."

Jiu Tunji's eyes narrowed, "Onmyoji." She repeated the word, "What's your last name?"

"Abe." Seimei replied with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Ibaraki Doji's face changed, Abe Seimei!It was the man that Shuten-douji had mentioned.But he still suppressed all his emotions, and just sat quietly beside Jiu Tunji.

"Are you Abe Seimei?" Ootengu wondered.Naturally, he had heard of the name of this Onmyoji from Kyoto, but his reputation was very good both among monsters and humans, so he didn't have any special reaction.

"Receive monsters as shikigami? You are quite courageous, you dare to say these things in front of me." Jiu Tunji laughed softly, and at the same time, the evil spirit overflowed from her body.

"All the monsters who formed a contract with me did so out of my own will, and I didn't mean to force it, so I went to the West Country this time to find like-minded monsters." Qingming was not affected by Jiu Tun Ji's demon power, Instead, he continued calmly.

It turns out that this is what the world in which Onmyoji still exists.Jiu Tunji withdrew her demonic aura, lowered her gaze, "I see."

"Thank you, Shuten Hime-sama." Seimei stood up and bowed deeply to her.

In the evening, it was the turn of Ootengu to watch the night. Sitting on the tree, he saw Jiu Tunji sitting on the tree bed at a glance, and it seemed that he didn't intend to fall asleep.After thinking about it, the big tengu still waved its wings and landed beside her.

"...Are you really willing to take Seimei and Seimei to the West Kingdom?"

"En." Jiu Tunji responded, "Even if I don't take them there, they still have a way to go, but it's just a matter of effort."

"Why?" Big Tengu persistently wanted an answer, was it because of him?

However, Jiu Tunji said an answer that was completely opposite to what he expected, "In my world, I killed all the onmyoji, because they killed the monsters who have been with me all the time. I remember the surname Abe, because They also perished in that massacre."

Daitengu's eyes widened in disbelief, he opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak a word.

"Surprised?" Jiu Tunji laughed, and the smile quickly disappeared from the corner of her lips, "So, this time, I want to know, what kind of existence is an Onmyoji?" Not that she made a wrong decision.

Behind them, Ibaraki Doji slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.
