The Proper Way to Give Thanks Is to Offer Yourself, Right?

Buying these fried tofu is not difficult, and there's no need to go all the way to Inazuma City Castle. Bai Ye can find them by bringing Lady Guuji to Konda Village.

Throughout this process, Hu Tao took care of the souls of those samurai to prevent them from disappearing upon contact with the outside world.

"Bai Ye, are you sure she can protect them?"

Walking along the road, Lady Guuji was still somewhat worried about her samurai followers. Was it reliable to let a young girl manage those samurai?

"Don't worry, Hu Tao is a professional."

"Professional? Professional in protecting the soul?"

"I asked curiously," said Lady Guuji.

"No, she's a professional soul-sending agent."

"... Let's hurry back."

Lady Guuji said quietly.

Bai Ye continued walking, the jade pendant at his waist clinking together with a crisp sound.

Hearing the sound of the jade pendant, Lady Guuji glanced at it again with lingering fear.

That jade pendant contains the Gods Asmodeus.

She originally thought that Bai Ye only had one Gods Hagintos, but after they came out, Bai Ye told her that there were three more Gods on him.

Lady Guuji, curious, entered the jade pendant where Asmodeus was, and after a few minutes, he hurriedly walked out. He preferred to follow Bai Ye closely rather than enter the jade pendant.

No, that's just too terrifying.

As a demon, she already faced immense pressure interacting with Gods god, and to make matters worse, this Gods was the one who controlled desires. After entering the Lady Guuji, she almost couldn't get out.

Lady Guuji claims to be an experienced driver, but that's really just a matter of having seen a lot. She can only verbally take advantage of young virgins like Bai Ye and old maids Hagintos. If she were to encounter a carnivorous type like Asmodeus, she really couldn't handle it.

After entering the jade pendant, I was bewitched and confused. It took several minutes for me to regain some clarity and escape from the jade pendant.

She felt that if she didn't escape soon, something really bad was going to happen to her.

As Lady Guuji looked at Asmodeus with lingering fear, Asmodeus was still jokingly saying to Bai Ye:

"This little fox demon has surprisingly strong willpower. I was just about to play a trick on her, but she actually escaped. Wait, perhaps there's another possibility: she escaped because there are even greater temptations outside..."

If you keep Bai Ye in your mind, maybe you can resist my temptation.

Asmodeus thought to himself with a hint of amusement.

"Um... Miss Asmodeus, please don't joke like that."

"Okay, okay, I understand, my benefactor~"

Finally, Asmodeus mimicked the tone of Lady Guuji and spoke to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye, feeling embarrassed, quickly ran away.

Lady Guuji also caught up shortly after.

Upon arriving at Konda Village, Bai Ye successfully purchased fried tofu from a local household.

Although it was just an old man selling fried tofu, seeing Bai Ye still reminded him of his grandson who lived in Inazuma City. If Bai Ye hadn't Bai Ye on giving it to him, he might have gotten the fried tofu for free.

Holding the fried tofu, Bai Ye said to Lady Guuji, "Alright, the fried tofu is ready. Now we should go back to Kaga to find them and then go to Grand Narukami Shrine together."

"Good, I can finally see that little fox again."

Lady Guuji nodded happily.

"Hmph, once I see the little fox, I'll give Zhen and Ying a good look. I'll definitely give them a good scare then."

Upon hearing what Lady Guuji said, Bai Ye, who had been smiling just moments before, froze.

He forgot that.

Lady Guuji was unaware of the news of true death.

A year ago, Shin went to Khaenri'ah first, followed by Shadow. After that, the Lady Guuji was swallowed by darkness.

To this end, Lady Guuji was unaware that Makoto died in battle at Khaenri'ah.

Seeing the change in Bai Ye's expression, Lady Guuji frowned.

"Is Zhen also in trouble?"

She asked in a seemingly casual manner.

As Bai Ye mentioned when introducing her earlier, Inazuma's 'darkness' was ultimately resolved by Kage returning, so the only possibility for the incident is Makoto.

"Yes. Makoto lost her life in the great battle of Khaenri'ah."

Lady Guuji lowered its head slightly.

"I thought she would look so heartbroken when she came back. But it's good this way, at least she won't feel sad if she dies in front of others."

She said it with a self-deprecating smile.

Wrong!

Lady Guuji looked at Bai Ye:

"Since you were able to bring me out of the 'darkness' and carry so many 'deceased' Gods with you, what about Zhen? You can bring Zhen back too!"

"I don't know either. Maybe yes, maybe no."

Bai Ye shrugged and said.

"Anyway, it's still a glimmer of hope, isn't it?"

Lady Guuji's expression suddenly became excited.

"My benefactor, I'm counting on you from now on!"

"Don't call me your benefactor!"

Bai Ye is a person with a strong will.

He won't lose himself amidst the constant calls of "benefactor."

The Grand Narukami Shrine discovered a peculiar situation.

Ever since that unbelievably handsome boy left, Yagami Tsukasa Guuji has been constantly pacing under the Sakura Tree.

The priestesses were talking amongst themselves.

A priestess said, "Could it be that the Guuji has also taken a liking to that young man?"

"I feel it's possible," another priestess echoed her guess.

She could hear the shrine maidens' words clearly under the Sakura Tree. However, she didn't stop them, because the Eighth Divine Child knew they were telling the truth.

"That little guy's charm is truly irresistible. You can't help but want to grow him into an adult."

The Eight Divine Child had a smile on her lips.

Bai Ye's eyes are so captivating that it's impossible not to fall in love with him. Back then, the Eight Divine Child had no intention of resisting Bai Ye in order to gain his trust, and now he is naturally unable to resist.

After laughing for a while, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"There's still no news. I wonder if the little guy is doing well in the 'darkness'. Also, is it possible to bring Lord Lady Guuji back?"

She was worried about Bai Ye, but also about Lady Guuji.

At this moment, the Eight Immortals 'Divine Child nostrils twitched slightly.

She smelled the scent of ghosts. At that moment, at the foot of Mount Grand Narukami Shrine, a group of ghosts arrived.

"Looks like the little guy has had quite a haul this time."

The eight Divine Child faced down the mountain.

She knew perfectly well that Bai Ye had returned. Although Grand Narukami Shrine wasn't a specialist in dealing with ghosts, he hadn't heard of any ghost daring to come over in the past few years.

The Eight Divine Child quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw a group of wounded samurai spirits following behind a black-haired girl wearing a hat. Their expressions were conflicted, a mixture of wariness and obedience.

Standing before them were the two people she had just been worried about.

Lady Guuji was still holding the cooked fried tofu in her hand.

"Little fox, I'm back. I didn't lie to you about the fried tofu you wanted."

Upon seeing the arrival Divine Child the Eight Immortals, Lady Guuji even held up a fried tofu with a grin and said...

The next second, the figure of the Eight Divine Child appeared beside Bai Ye and Lady Guuji.

When Lady Guuji reached out to hug Yae Miko, Divine Child bypassed her and instead embraced Bai Ye directly from behind.

"Little one, thank you for bringing Lord Lady Guuji back."

After saying that, she lowered her head again and kissed Ye on the Bai Ye.

She wanted to hold onto Bai Ye a little longer when she felt a pulling sensation on both sides of her arms. Shenhe and Kamisato Ayaka grabbed her arms, one on each side, trying to make her let go of Bai Ye.

That wasn't all; Yae Miko also felt a pulling sensation coming from her tail.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far with pulling the tail!"

Yae Miko looked at Hu Tao was pulling on its tail, and protested.

After the farce ended, she went to Lady Guuji's side, took the fried tofu from Lady Guuji's hand, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"It's still the same Weiyu as before. We've finally waited for it..."

She was making comments about the food as she ate.

After giving her evaluation, she complained to Lady Guuji, "But my dear Lady Guuji Master, I've waited so long, can't you at least make me some more fried tofu as compensation?"

Upon seeing this, Lady Guuji's eyes narrowed instantly.

Good lad, the junior I teased back then has now become like this. It seems I still need to teach her a lesson about the traditional respect for elders in the Hakushin Clan.

"I only said I'd bring some back for you, I didn't say how much. Look, you've eaten a lot, so you should bring some back quickly."

"I've already eaten it, what can you do about it?"

Yae Miko said, being a bachelor.

"Then I'll just borrow your body for a bit. You ate too much of my fried tofu, so it's normal for you to borrow my body for a while, right?"

Lady Guuji opened its mouth and said.

"Hmm? What does Lord Lady Guuji want my body for?"

"To repay a debt of gratitude."

Lady Guuji's gaze involuntarily swept over Bai Ye.

"Okay, I agree."

Yae Miko nodded.

"Don't involve me in your affairs."

Bai Ye evacuated.

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Lady Guuji and Yae Miko laughed.

However, Yae Miko was the kind that involved covering her mouth with a seductive grin, Lady Guuji's smile was more frank.

Now, the longing of hundreds of years has been completely released.

The Hakushin Clan is not the type to cry and whine when they meet someone.

Happy things should be expressed through happy actions.

After laughing,

Lady Guuji said to Yae no Yae Miko, "Alright, our reminiscing is over. I still have to ask you for a favor."

She pointed to the warriors who followed her and introduced them to Yae Miko: "These are my warriors. Now, their souls have also been brought out. Divine Child, you will now be needed to help them find their descendants."

Yae Miko, then looks at the souls of the samurai.

"Gentlemen, please state your names, and I will help you find your descendants."

As Inazuma's hero, Yae no Yae Miko would show any mockery.

The samurai then announced their names.

To Bai Ye's surprise, there were several members of the Kujou Clan and Takatsukasa Clan among them.

But thinking about it, it's understandable.

If the Kujou Clan had been bad from the start, they wouldn't have been trusted by Raiden Ei.

However, later generations did not understand.

After listening to the samurai's introductions, Yae Miko's gaze involuntarily turned to Bai Ye.

"Little fellow, you've really amassed quite a fortune. More than half of the samurai in Inazuma owe you these favors."

She couldn't help but sigh.

"These favors are not something I should accept. A hero should have the status of a hero."

Yae Miko gently.

"You can ignore these favors, but you are a recognized hero. I will reward you with a hero's reward in due time."

"Don't want!"

Bai Ye hid behind Hu Tao.

These horrible women, each one lusts after my body, and each one is more lewd than the last.

Looking back now, my 'Qingqing Hutao' is still the Hu Tao.

At least she didn't move.

Yae Miko shrugged.

Afterwards, she led everyone to continue walking up the mountain.

During their walk, the Divine Child asked Bai Ye, "By the way, Bai Ye, what's going on with Lady Guuji's health? Is she destined to remain a ghost?"

"Hmm... that depends on the situation. I can only build those mechs to house the souls, which I'm afraid Miss Lady Guuji wouldn't accept. By the way, gentlemen of the samurai class, are any of you interested in joining them?"

Finally, Bai Ye revealed his true thoughts.

"Are you stealing my business?!"

Hu Tao stared wide-eyed at Bai Ye.

"Hmph, let's see what you do when the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor runs out of money anyway?"

"The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is no longer operating in Inazuma! They've really left, and you've actually lost customers."

"That's true..."

Hu Tao also pretended to be convinced by Bai Ye.

The samurai's expressions now showed anticipation.

Yae Miko then spoke up, "Actually, it's good that you can regain your physical forms. Recently, something happened at Tenryou Commission, Inazuma really needs someone to maintain order. If you have physical forms, you can do a good job of maintaining order in Inazuma."

She looked at the Lady Guuji and the samurai.

Perfect timing! The new Tenryou Commission a leader and subordinates.

"Tenryou Commission? What happened?"

Lady Guuji frowned and asked.

"It's like this..."

Yae Miko recounted the matter to Lady Guuji.

Before Kosai—no -Yae Miko could react to what Lady Guuji- miya said, the ancestors of the Kujou Clan became furious.

"Damn it, is this how we protected Inazuma, only to have her harmed like this? No, I want to see them and ask them properly if they still remember their original intentions?"

Lady Guuji looked at Yae with some doubt.

"What do the Sakoku Decree' and 'Vision Hunt Decree' mean? Shadow, what is she doing?"

Kamisato Ayaka then stepped forward and explained to Lady Guuji, "The Sakoku Decree is..."

After explaining, she said to Lady Guuji, "Lord Lady Guuji, the Sakoku Decree has caused Inazuma's development to fall behind. Please make sure that the Shogun rescinds his order."

Upon hearing Kamisato Ayaka's words, Lady Guuji frowned and replied:

"I'll give it a try; it might make a difference. But if you want to completely change Shadow, I can't really guarantee anything."

The only thing that can be guaranteed is that it's true.
