Chapter 28

Regarding the Leaf's "Sister" that the woman mentioned,

After learning that the woman would be following Onmyoji's team for the next period of time,

Leaf wasn't in a hurry to ask him anything.

Being afraid that the other party would cry again was one thing,

On the other hand, the other party seemed to be more anxious about this matter than she was.

She had always been patient.

Their destination was still the Great Mountains.

After a period of hurrying, they weren't far from the Great Mountains, and they were about to enter the gathering place of the great demons.

Demons and ghosts ran amok here,

So they slowed down their journey,

Onmyoji wanted to take this opportunity to graduate all the little demon shikigami under him,

He wanted to win the Kappa against Ibaraki, and win the first Kappa against Wine.

Everyone thought that he was wishful thinking,

Including himself.

But what else could he do? His face was already dark to begin with. It was fine if he couldn't contract a powerful demon,

If he still couldn't learn how to comfort himself,

Then he might as well quit Onmyoji's ranks and go back to his hometown to inherit his inheritance.

With this thought in mind, Onmyoji couldn't help but set his gaze on Shouwu, who was walking at the front of the team.

Sigh,

He only had one shikigami that he could use now.

"Shouwu,

I heard that there are net-cutters around here,

Why don't Daddy give you a new amulet? "

There was a type of demon in this world,

The spirit mastery clan,

This clan of demons didn't have any offensive abilities,

But after catching them, the demons would carry them with them,

They would be able to greatly increase their attributes.

And when the demons fought, the demon power that leaked out was absorbed by the spirit mastery, which could also promote the growth of the spirit mastery. They were existences that complemented the ordinary demons.

But because of their great effect, the spirit mastery clan was extremely popular and difficult to catch.

Because once they were caught, it was almost equivalent to being imprisoned by another demon's side for the rest of their lives. The spirit mastery obviously preferred to live a free life.

Net-Cutters were one of these special demons, and it was said that they were the most suitable for Shouwu. Onmyoji's Shouwu now had a set of net-cutters. Four of them hung in a small brocade bag at his waist, but the net-cutters' level was too low, so they couldn't be of much use.

"How do you know that there are net-cutters here?

Also, whose father are you, hmm? "

The Yin Yang Master, who didn't respond, felt his liver tremble.

"No, you heard wrong. Didn't we borrow a map from the Yin-Yang Hut before we set off? The map clearly marked these places. There are all kinds of things here, such as the Net Cutter Woman and the Force Breaker Woman. The reason I wanted to come here is to get you all a set of powerful amulets."

Onmyoji quickly changed the topic.

"And I have a premonition that I will definitely contract with a very powerful Great Demon here!"

"Oh, go to sleep. There's everything in your dreams."

"… Anyway, let's find a local demon and ask him where I can catch spirits."

It was close to evening and night was about to fall. This time, they still couldn't find a place to stay, so they could only find an empty space to set up camp.

As usual, Onmyoji was responsible for going out to collect firewood and dig for vegetables, while Headless was responsible for cooking. The little demon shikigami followed the two of them to help. The whole team looked happy and harmonious, and there wasn't any fighting or friction between the demons.

Onmyoji had contracted with a Kappa a few days ago, so after they found a water source, they caught a few fish back to make fish soup.

Because Headless's cooking skills were excellent, even if they had to eat and sleep in the open, Leaf felt like she had gained a lot of weight.

Before cooking the fish soup, Headless cooked half a basket of shrimps that the Kappa brought back. Everyone shared it, and in the end, he gave the remaining two to Leaf.

Leaf peeled them on the spot, stuffed one into Headless' mouth, and fed the other to Gui.

Gui ate everything. No matter what kind of creature it was, as long as it was buried under his roots, it would become his nourishment.

"All living things are equal, I'm not picky at all."

After dinner, Onmyoji would occasionally be in the mood to tell them some stories about Ping An Capital.

He was very eloquent, even when others drank water, he could make it interesting. Every time this happened, even the newly joined girl would look at Onmyoji with her eyes shining, and didn't dislike him for talking too much.

Today, Onmyoji was talking about a strange story about the Royal Family.

It was about a demon who felt that it was too tiring to live outside, so it possessed a royal princess who went out to play. It wanted to replace the princess and live a life of luxury.

But not long after the demon entered the princess' body, because of its abnormal behavior, it was discovered by the princess' maid, and then it was eliminated by the Big Onmyoji in the Yin Yang Hut.

Leaf only listened to the first half of the story, and then looked at the girl's face and fell into deep thought.

Gui had been looking at her with his chin propped up. Seeing her strange expression, he pulled her into his arms and pressed his forehead against hers. Then his voice appeared in Leaf's mind.

"This way, you don't have to worry about others hearing you."

"Brother?"

"You've been caring more and more about that little demon recently, brother is very curious."

"… …"

Leaf pondered for a moment, and then told Gui everything.

"I now suspect that a demon picked up my body, and like the demon in Haruaki's story, he wore her like a piece of clothing, or he transformed into my appearance."

"Is that so, do you want to know the real answer?"

Gui tapped his thigh with his index finger twice, thinking about how to pry the words out of the girl's mouth.

"No need, I don't have a sense of urgency in my heart, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

She unexpectedly believed in her intuition.

"And that demon's strength doesn't seem to be low, if it really makes a scene, we're not afraid, but I'm afraid that Haruaki and the others will be hurt."

Gui caressed her face, and for a long time, he laughed softly. That kind of happy voice made Leaf feel numb all over: "I still want you to call me Dad ~ En ~ It will be more interesting to be a daughter ~"

"Refuse."

"Then, Mom?"

"Refuse."

"It's really like absorbing you and reshaping you, little demon."

Leaf knew that he was just joking, but she still glanced at him unhappily. That little expression made Gui's heart itch.

"But then, you won't be who you are now ~"

He didn't know why he wanted to be her father so much. Probably a tree that had lived for a long time always wanted to leave a seed behind.

The tree became a god after a long time, but ancient trees also withered easily.

"When we get your body back, we'll go back to the forest, and I'll give birth to a younger brother for you."

Gui suddenly said.

Leaf didn't pay attention to how he would give birth to a child by himself.

"Shouldn't a brother's child call me aunt?"

"How can a nephew fight as well as a younger brother?"

"Why should I hit him?"

"If a child doesn't get beaten up a few times, he'll go to heaven."

"Do you want to hit me?"

"I can't wait to dote on you."

In fact, what he really wanted to ask was, if I have a child, won't you be jealous and want to hit him?

Because I'm very jealous of your father, and I want to hit him very much.

As they spoke, they realized that there was no sound around them. A circle of Monster Onmyoji was watching them with relish, as if they were watching a big show.

Gui raised his eyebrows, and habitually wrapped the child in his arms with his wide sleeves, carried her a few times, and jumped to the highest canopy around.

The branches were used as a frame, and the leaves were used as a bed. Leaf rested her head on Gui's arm, lying on the soft leaves and falling asleep.

Late at night.

Early the next morning, they found a large and comfortable cave nearby, and planned to stay nearby for a while to see if they could catch a few good spirits.

Leaf went out with the team, but Gui didn't follow. Instead, he turned into a small tree, rooted at the entrance of the cave, and basked in the sun comfortably.

Although it was convenient to turn into human form, the tree form made him feel more comfortable.

And as long as his roots were buried in the soil, he could rush to the child's side in an instant, so he didn't have to worry about her being in any danger.

Gui basked in the sun comfortably, but not long after the group of little demons left, a young girl in a witch costume carrying an ugly man walked to the entrance of the cave where they were temporarily staying.

Gui quite liked the young girl's beauty, but this affection was completely washed away by the man behind her.

He shook his branches and leaves, and a clump of bushes rose from the ground and blocked the entrance of the cave.

The young girl was stunned for a while, and then cast her gaze on him.

Gui ignored her, but the young girl finally left tactfully, but she didn't go far, because this mountain wasn't that big.

The cave she chose was left behind by them, so Gui ignored her. Seeing that she had beautifully set up a barrier at the entrance of the cave, his admiration for her rose a little.

He liked beautiful children, and if this child was smart enough, that would be even better.

But currently, his favorite in his heart was, of course, that little goldfish grass.

Even if she didn't admit it, Gui treated her as his daughter in his heart.

The young girl stared at him for a while before leaving. Gui saw that she was always surrounded by an aura of death, and felt pity for her, so he gave her one of his fallen leaves.

That Leaf fell on the young girl's head, and the moment it touched her hair, the young girl found herself refreshed a lot.

This was God Power!

As a witch, she naturally knew what God Power was.

The young girl took the leaf from her head, and carefully looked at the lines, then turned around and bowed to Gui from afar.

"Thank you for your gift."

"That human is so ugly, you should just ignore him."

His face was ugly, and his heart was ugly, his whole body was emitting black resentment, and he really didn't know why this little witch wanted to save him.
