Chapter 26

Facts proved that following this Onmyoji was indeed quite interesting.

This guy looked noble and benevolent,

But when he did things, he was unscrupulous,

He led his group of shikigami who were generally weak,

Relying on his methods, he had defeated many high-level demons.

Gui and Leaf didn't help much along the way. They just spent Onmyoji's hard-earned money to travel around and eat and drink.

Leaf couldn't figure out why this person wanted to bring the two of them along. They could clearly survive in this chaotic world by themselves.

Because of this reason,

Occasionally, Ye Zi would help to heal them when they overturned the car.

It was just that she couldn't control the amount of healing,

Once Leaf gave a shout, the shikigami would feel refreshed,

Onmyoji, on the other hand, would often vomit blood from the replenishment.

After a period of time, Leaf's technique was still not perfect,

Onmyoji, on the other hand, was used to vomiting blood.

Today, as usual, was the day that Leaf needed to save the situation.

She took a few steps forward from the back of the team. Her long hair was pulled back, and she held the big Leaf in her hand and was about to fan the front.

"Leaf!

Leaf, Leaf! "

Onmyoji turned around and saw the little girl's hand waving the healing stick,

He always felt that she didn't need to do anything now,

As long as he saw her companion big Leaf move, he could vomit blood himself.

This wasn't good.

So he shouted a few times and stopped the little girl from doing what she was about to do.

"Didn't you say a few days ago..,

Is it just a little boring to heal?

Then do you want to try being an attack type character? "

Onmyoji suggested.

Although Ye Zi did not remember when he had said that,

But an attack type character..

She looked at the battlefield in front of her that was in full swing,

Then she looked at Gui, who was looking at her with a smile behind her,

Suddenly, she was a little expectant.

"If you like..,

You can give it a try. "

Gui pushed her towards Onmyoji,

Leaf took the opportunity to walk over.

"Can I?

What should I do? "

She stood there with her Big Leaf.

He was at a loss of what to do.

"What should I do …"

Onmyoji did not know either. Demons fought based on their instincts. He did not know how to guide a little demon that did not know how to fight.

"I've seen a sprite that's very similar to you, it's called the Firefly Grass. Normally, they also act as healing-type sprites, but when they're fighting, they'll use their companion Firefly Grass balls to greet their enemies."

Onmyoji looked at her Big Leaf and thought that the effect of this thing should be pretty good, right?

"Shall I give it a try?"

Little Goldfish Grass stood timidly outside the battlefield. A Spirit-branded Retainer who overheard her conversation with Onmyoji brought a half-dead enemy in front of her so that she could test her skills.

Although Onmyoji was afraid of her healing ability, the fairies loved it.

Every time they were pulled back from the brink of death after a satisfying fight, they felt comfortable all over. Some of the Spirit-branded Retainers even faintly felt like they wanted to break through.

Little Goldfish Grass looked at the evil spirit that pounced in front of her. That evil spirit was really ugly. Leaf, who was used to seeing beautiful faces, was not used to seeing it.

So she clenched her Big Leaf tightly and blew it on the evil spirit's face.

"Wah —"

"Ahhh — Eh?"

The evil spirit subconsciously screamed, but halfway through, he realized that his face did not hurt. No, not only did his face not hurt, even the original wounds on his body did not hurt.

Strange.

He opened his eyes and saw that the little demon that had just hit him was also staring at him with a shocked expression.

He looked at his body.

"… You're a pure healing-type?

Do you want to join us? "

He had never seen a demon that used a killer move for healing. However, to be able to heal him in an instant, this little demon's strength was not bad.

Then, this evil spirit who tried to poach her was finished off by Shouwu who was behind him.

"Tsk, this is for you."

Shouwu took out an ornate dagger from his chest and stuffed it into her hand. The dagger's hilt was even inlaid with gems. It was obvious that it was expensive.

Leaf held the dagger, looked at it a few times, then shook the Big Leaf in her hand. Not long after, the Leaf turned into a weapon about the same size as the dagger that Shouwu gave her.

A Kunai.

She felt that this was more like it.

She held the Kunai in front of her chest, and her eyes became sharp as if she had become a different person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she could kill a little demon with one strike.

In short, by the time the others reacted, the group of enemies that had not died after fighting with the Spirit-branded Retainers for so long were all lying on the ground.

"Wow ~"

Gui took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to wipe Xue Er's body for the little golden dragon grass, but he realized that there was not a single drop of demon blood on her body. Not only her body, but even her two weapons were clean.

"You really surprised me."

"I'm also quite surprised myself."

That feeling just now was like an instinct. As long as she held a weapon, she would know the most effective way to kill, and which direction to stab so that the knife would not dirty herself.

Leaf felt that she might have been a homicidal maniac in the past.

Otherwise, how could she be so familiar with this kind of skill?

She took the dagger and went to find Shouwu. When she wanted to return the dagger to him, Shouwu looked at her with a complicated expression, then indicated that the dagger was hers.

"It's just an ordinary trophy. There will be more in the future."

How could an ordinary trophy be treasured so much? But seeing that he really wanted to give it to her, Leaf did not refuse.

She would find something to compensate him in the future.

With a flash of light in her hand, the green Kunai turned back into Big Leaf. She shook it and skillfully healed the Spirit-branded Retainers. But this time, Onmyoji was not taken care of, so she did not need to heal them.

"Where are we going next, Haruaki -sama?"

After wandering the world with Onmyoji's team for so long, Leaf gradually became certain of an inconceivable thing. That was, she might not be in the original world anymore.

This might be Japan a long time ago. Humans still wore ancient clothes and lived a poor and humble life. It was not at all as busy and lively as she saw on television.

Sometimes, Leaf even felt that even the souls of the dead in hell might be more human than the humans here.

The darkness of politics caused too much dissatisfaction in the hearts of humans, and the darkness in the hearts of humans gave birth to powerful demons. Under the absolute suppression of demons, the darkness in the hearts of humans increased, and a vicious cycle was created.

At this time, some humans who were bullied to the point of despair were no different from demons.

Leaf could not help but think of Natsume. He was the only human she knew. In just a short period of contact, Leaf could feel the gentleness and strength that he exuded.

It made her yearn for him.

Humans were truly strange and complicated creatures.

Before she became a goldfish monster, she was also a human. According to the swords, she was also a gentle person, just like Natsume -san.

Leaf felt somewhat fortunate.

"Next, let's just walk around. We haven't received any requests recently."

Usually, Onmyoji's requests were sent by a fairy called Tong Nan. When there were no requests, Onmyoji would take them around.

"I heard that Ibaraki Doji is building a palace for his close friend, Shutendoji, in the mountains. How about we secretly go and take a look? I've never seen a demon's city before."

"The mountains?

That place is very remote, and there are many powerful demons there. You want to see Shutendoji and Ibaraki Doji?

Did you eat too much blood recently and your brain is damaged? "

Haruaki Abe's number one general, Headless, mercilessly began to ridicule his own Onmyoji.

"That's why we need to secretly go. Headless, you also need greater challenges in order to grow. Shutendoji and Ibaraki Doji are nothing. In my heart, you're the future ruler of the demon world!"

Headless laughed sarcastically, but didn't say anything else to attack this black-faced Onmyoji.

Headless was clearly strong, and his methods weren't bad. However, he was never able to contract a powerful demon, so he could only pretend to be strong and raise himself.

Headless didn't dare to believe the words of encouragement that came out of his mouth.

If one day, he said these words after he had Ibaraki Doji, Headless would probably be able to completely trust him.

But Headless felt that he would never have the chance to wait for that day.

"Why is your face so black?"

"…"

Onmyoji silently glanced at Headless, then took out a powder tray from his chest, dipped his finger in it, and rubbed it on his face.

"… It's useless. Accept your fate. How many trays of powder have you used? What did you get in return?"

"Oh, you, my little treasure … Fine, I won't say anymore. Let's go, to the mountains."

Only then did Headless calm down.

Onmyoji stroked the burnt hair on his forehead and smiled at the two plant-type demons who were watching the show. "It's fine. That child has a tough mouth but a soft heart."

"I think what he said is the truth."

He stabbed Onmyoji in the chest.

"Also, if it was me, not to mention that I don't want to be restrained by humans at all, even if one day I suddenly wanted to play house with humans, I definitely wouldn't choose a strange guy with makeup like you."

He stabbed him again.

Leaf saw that Onmyoji's face was starting to lose color without makeup, so she couldn't help but give him some blood.

Onmyoji: Pfft —!

He couldn't escape the fate of vomiting blood today.

It's fine. My body should be used to it already.

Orz

Was it because he was wearing a hat too high that he felt that his head was getting bigger and bigger?

Why did he persuade these two demons to go with him in the beginning?

Oh, it seemed like he wanted to develop feelings for her after a long time. Then, he would make that powerful Great Demon play a game with him.

Now it seemed that this wish was not going to come true. However, although Little Goldfish didn't sign a contract with him, it still helped them a lot. Just because of this, Onmyoji didn't want to have any other strange thoughts with them.

It was peaceful along the way.

This night, they slept in the wilderness as usual.

After setting up the camp, Onmyoji ordered a few little shikigami to go to the forest to pick up branches and mushrooms. He planned to cook a pot of mushroom soup.

When they came back, they brought another person with them.

Tall and beautiful, it was a very beautiful mature woman. Compared to the woman that Headless transformed into, she was more seductive.

Why did he use returning as an analogy?

Because a gust of wind blew. Leaf looked at the woman's lower abdomen. The thin dress clung to her body exposed …

How could a girl have that kind of thing?

"When I transform into a woman, I'm completely, completely, completely, female."

Headless, Headless whispered in her ear. This was the main point.

That woman … Let's call her a woman for the time being. Perhaps she had overheard their whispers, so she immediately looked over.

Onmyoji began to introduce the woman to them.

She wanted to join their team, but she didn't want to sign a contract with Onmyoji at the moment.

Onmyoji agreed.

"Is this called being blinded by lust?"

Shan Tong blinked his big eyes as he stood beside Chief Wushuang and mocked him.

"Hmph."

Headless fiddled with the fire, his face cold. "Where are the mushrooms?"

"Here, I found some wild vegetables. Let's cook them together."

Onmyoji arranged for the woman to sit on the side and then sat there to talk with her.

However, he was the one talking the whole time, and the woman just responded from time to time.

Headless, Headless and Leaf sat opposite the two people. After looking at the woman for a while, the young man suddenly hugged Leaf.

"Brother?"

"Don't go too far away from brother, do you hear me?"

"Yes."

Was that woman so powerful?

Even brother was afraid of her?

"No, I think that Onmyoji's brain is not good. Don't let him infect you. Yes, stay with brother, you will become smarter."

"…"

Leaf felt that even though they were far apart, Onmyoji was inexplicably stunned.

It was obvious that it was the usual action after being shot in the chest.

"Master Haruaki wouldn't think that Headless would value him like this, right?"

"If that's the case, I think it won't be long before he and Headless break up."

As the two of them were talking, they saw that the woman on the other side looked as if she had just seen Ye Zi. Her eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty, and she kept looking at them. In the end, she simply stared at Ye Zi without moving.

Seeing this, he wrapped it up with his wide sleeves to block her view.

That way, the woman couldn't sit still.
