Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 668

Aoandon paused slightly, her initial intention to make a move vanishing.

Qingji, who was about to step forward, suddenly retreated.

The spider lily, who had carefully noticed the situation, felt a strange mix of emotions and suddenly found herself speechless.

"..."

Silence, an eerie silence, began to linger.

"Sit down and have some tea first." The other shore flower finally broke the silence, calling back the skeleton warriors under her command.

In the blink of an eye, the skeleton warrior disappeared into the ground.

The land is covered with vibrant red, inverted lanceolate flowers, forming a natural carpet.

Then, the other shore flower sat down and summoned a tea table, which had cups and water on it, as if it had been prepared in advance.

The book that had been floating beside the spider lily gently landed on the tea table.

After hesitating for a short while, Qingxingdeng and Qingji silently walked over and sat down.

dong dong dong~

The red spider lily poured tea for the two of them.

After pouring the tea, Qingxingdeng and Qingji each took a sip, with the impatient Qingji being the first to be unable to restrain herself.

Where is he? Where is he at all?

Finding people is more important than finding books!

These days, Qingji has barely spoken a few words to the other shore flower before falling asleep, so how would she know what's going on?

The spider lily chuckled, "How pitiful, having to pay someone so much without even knowing their name."

"That's none of your business! Tell me, tell me!"

"..." Aoandon remained silent.

She believed she had stumbled upon some powerful secret.

For example, what kind of ambiguous relationship does Kousaka Kyosuke have with these two yokai?

Aoandon didn't want to bother with such strange things.

Her relationship with Kyosuke Kosaka was completely innocent; there was no ambiguous relationship between them.

Why go to him instead of him coming to you?

The red spider lily did not answer Qing Ji's question, but simply looked at Qing Ji with great interest.

Aoandon thought to herself, "So you want Kyosuke to come find you?"

But this has nothing to do with her.

She's just a reader; what does she have to do with these romantic relationships?

"However, both 'The Tale of Genji' and 'The Pillow Book' feature romance and love, which I don't know much about..."

Aoandon pondered, then looked up and carefully observed the spider lily and Aohime.

Perhaps this exchange will allow her to gain a better understanding of the plot in the book?

Aoandon wanted to know.

I'm very interested in all the contents of these two books, and the meaning behind some of the descriptions.

Compared to those intriguing, sometimes seemingly nonsensical, ghost stories.

Aoandon discovered that the two books given to her by Kousaka Kyosuke had a very strong charm.

Some of the things described may seem simple, but they may conceal certain conspiracies and intrigues. The interactions and connections between the harem, the court, and the nobility are very interesting to study in detail.

Although Aoandon is very interested in pursuing new stories, she can't help but linger when she encounters a particularly rich story.

Without a doubt, the books that Kyosuke Kosaka wrote all have a strong narrative quality.

It will be difficult for Aoandon to find new stories.

Unless they are right next to you.

"I don't want to wait like you! I want to be connected to him body and soul!"

"...Body? Soul?"

Aoandon's pupils contracted slightly as she stared at Aohime in astonishment, her heart filled with surprise.

So bold?

The red spider lily laughed again: "It's precisely because of you that people are scared away."

Qingji said bitterly, "You don't understand! You have no idea! He was so happy that day! He even said he got an erection!"

The red spider lily was so amused that she couldn't speak.

Is Aohime referring to the day she burned Kousaka Kyosuke to a crisp?

She clearly remembered that Kyosuke Kosaka was saying—"Burned like this, I can't even get an erection."

"..." Qingxingdeng unconsciously covered her mouth.

So he's this kind of person?

No, we can't draw conclusions based on just a few words from others.

She's not the kind of woman who believes everything she hears.

"He told me so many love stories, doesn't that mean everything? It's a very obvious hint!" Qingji said again.

The other shore flower said with a playful expression, "Don't you know the reason perfectly well? Why are you being so stubborn?"

Aoandon finally spoke.

"No matter what the truth is, wouldn't it be better to just ask him directly?"

Qingji nodded her little head happily: "Yes, he will definitely marry me."

"I'm afraid you've misunderstood. He just pities you," the spider lily sighed softly.

She had a basic understanding of Kyosuke Kousaka.

The last time she saw him, she was an idiot for believing his endless lies.

Now, she would never believe a word that Kyosuke Kosaka said.

"Pity? That's also a form of love. As long as there's love, isn't that enough?"

Then Qingji said another sentence.

Upon hearing this, the other shore flower simply shut up; she didn't want to waste any more words.

Aoandon herself didn't want to say anything.

She was completely speechless at the sight of the spider lily and the green fairy.

Even now, she still doesn't know what's inside the heads of the spider lily and Qingji.

Aoandon's mind was very clear.

She just wanted to take the books and leave, so she could finally understand the two books she most wanted to read.

There's nothing else I have time to deal with.

"Can I have my book back?" Qingxingdeng asked after finishing her tea, not wanting to waste any more time.

The other shore flower laughed and said, "Why the rush? He'll be here soon."

Aoandon said calmly, "So what if they come?"

Just then, two figures arrived at an extremely fast speed.

Call ~

A gentle breeze blew, and two people landed not far from where the three were drinking tea.

"Eh!"

Qingji excitedly pounced over.

The newcomer was Kyosuke Kosaka, who immediately reached out and grabbed Aohime's head.

"I still prefer the rebellious version of you from back then..."

"Ughhhhhhh—"

Her cheeks were gripped by two fingers on either side, rendering her unable to move. Qingji could not speak, only making muffled noises.

"Kyosuke, you should be gentle with girls," Kagura, who was standing next to Kousaka Kyosuke, rarely offered such advice.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt utterly helpless: "I can't soften my attitude towards her."

He felt that it would be better for Qing Ji to revert to her attitude of being a female ghost.

Too much heat will burn him.

“But it’s still best to put him down,” Kagura said again.

Kyosuke Kosaka then reminded Aohime: "Treat me the same way you used to."
