Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Actually.

Kyosuke Kosaka still hasn't explained the matter of the snake god, namely the Yamata no Orochi.

After all, he knew the details based on the script.

Even Minamoto no Yorimitsu might not know as much as he does.

There's no benefit in saying it out loud.

"So, are we going to venture deeper into the Yellow Springs Realm next? We've already eliminated all the demons on the outer perimeter."

Instead of dwelling on the various matters, Su Chang continued to ask Kousaka Kyosuke questions.

At first, the group acted together.

However, the sheer number of monsters killed and the intense miasma emanating from their corpses hampered their operations.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kosaka and Sue worked together to set up a barrier for purification.

As for snake scales, snake gods, miasma, and so on?

Su Chang ignored it!

Too complicated!

She thought to herself, "Isn't my older sister considering it?"

"Let's look around first." Seeing that the mission was about to be completed, Kousaka Kyosuke looked around.

The Land of the Dead contains many buildings, all bearing the crest of the Sasa Ryudan family.

In addition, there are many traces of human habitation.

This made Kyosuke Kousaka realize that this place was actually Genji territory.

This is indeed very logical.

Isn't it normal for territories with purifying power to belong to powerful forces?

It's like Kyosuke Kousaka clearing land near Arakawa.

Can't villagers cultivate wasteland?

It really can't.

"Then be careful, there's a really eerie feeling around here."

"I will protect Lord Kyosuke!"

"Lord Kyosuke, me too..."

"Let's work hard together." Kousaka Kyousuke smiled.

What's it like to have a partner who's physically strong?

He could sense it very easily at that moment.

The dusk deepened.

After exploring the surrounding area for a while, the group decided to spend the night together on the outermost edge of the Yellow Springs Realm.

Just to be on the safe side, Kyosuke Kosaka had no intention of living there.

They set up a simple yet sturdy camp.

"Can we leave tomorrow morning?" Su Chang said casually inside the camp.

Earning 200,000 yuan is pretty easy, isn't it?

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded: "Once the monsters are eliminated and the miasma is purified, the mission will be considered complete."

He thought about it.

He probably understood why Minamoto no Yorimitsu had entrusted him with this task without his consent.

If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely, as Su Yi said, that they took into account the reactions of their tribe.

The Genji clan's current strength is undoubtedly due in no small part to their indispensable role in Kyoto.

Just like the Kamo clan guarding the Left Capital, protecting the highest-ranking nobles.

Genji's words are similar.

They can protect Kyoto and gain great power by making a deal with the snake god.

At present, Minamoto no Yorimitsu is clearly delaying the deal with the snake god, causing Kyoto to be in constant turmoil.

The tribespeople would definitely be unhappy if they found out.

But it seems it still managed to delay things.

However, if the tribespeople became aware of this miasma, which was clearly emanating from the serpent god and was corrupting living beings.

It should still significantly impact his strategy.

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu must have had a tough time, having to deal with a bunch of useless teammates every day."

Kyosuke Kousaka knew this perfectly well.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu prayed for peace like the clan chiefs of several generations, but that only hastened the appearance of the serpent god.

If the snake god were to emerge, Kyoto would be thrown into utter chaos.

Even newly built luxury villas that people haven't lived in for long will be greatly affected.

"Lord Kyosuke, should we go deep into the realm of the dead to investigate?"

The woman in plain clothes asked again.

She considered whether the mission needed to be handled more carefully.

The reward is two hundred thousand coins.

There's always a sense of unease if you don't do things well.

Even considering the strong internal purifying power, it's almost impossible for monsters to appear.

"Let's rest for the night before going in."

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke." Su Yi didn't try to persuade him any further.

She thought Kyosuke Kosaka's idea was very reasonable.

The yin energy and miasma are noticeably more active at night, and the power of evil spirits and monsters is enhanced.

It's better to rest for one night before taking action.

“Then I’ll sleep next to Kyosuke-sama tonight!” Su Chang said enthusiastically.

Dressed in plain clothes and frowning, how could one act recklessly in the wilderness?

She wanted to try to persuade her.

However, seeing that Kyosuke Kousaka looked completely calm, he immediately felt relieved.

Although the husband was somewhat fond of pleasure.

But he was a man of great integrity and understanding.

That night, Su Yi, who was sleeping on the other side of Kousaka Kyosuke's bed with her younger sister, saw the large hand reaching out and fell into deep thought.

My husband is a little tired today.

It's understandable that it's a bit absurd...

Day 167 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, feeling completely refreshed, had a happy expression on his face.

They set up a protective barrier outside and the three of them slept together.

Even though there wasn't any intense fighting, it was still a lot of fun.

The saying goes, "Pressure is the mother of motivation."

Pressure doesn't always have to be released; maintaining some motivation is also good!

"..." Su Yi, whose clothes were slightly disheveled, saw Kousaka Kyosuke get up and tidied his clothes first.

She carefully smoothed out the wrinkles.

Even though some of her skin was exposed to the air, she was very shy.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but embrace the dignified and virtuous woman in plain clothes.

Su Yi responded softly, her small hand unconsciously patting Kousaka Kyosuke's firm back.

Having neatly tidied her appearance, Su Chang looked at her sister's snow-white back, which was as smooth and flawless as jade, clicked her tongue inwardly, and walked out.

The Demon Blade Princess, who had prepared herself well in advance, stood outside the camp as if nothing had happened, keeping watch.

Su Chang, who had just come out, blinked.

The cold and aloof Demon Blade Princess gives people an impression of being dignified and unapproachable.
