It was only right for Yuguang Kaori to use such formal etiquette.
Though her relationship with Fang Cheng seemed so harmonious now, it was all still built on the foundation of a transaction.
Fang Cheng helped Yuguang Kaori out of the predicament caused by her negligence, and Oni Yunjie let him touch her father's corpse.
Fang Cheng helped deal with Oni Rakshasa, and Oni Yunjie helped him handle the Evil God. Even though they failed, it was still a transaction at its core.
They might have developed some friendship or other feelings while spending time together, but that didn't change the foundation of their relationship.
In asking Fang Cheng to protect Mirai, Yuguang Kaori had nothing left to offer in exchange that could match his strength.
So she had to make this gesture, and her voice was full of pleading.
Yuguang Kaori's pose clearly showed off her slender waist and rounded backside, making him think of certain premium-content scenes.
He hurriedly helped her back up. "We know each other so well by now. There's no need for that. I'll do everything I can to keep Mirai safe."
At Fang Cheng's agreement, the tension Oni Yunjie and Yuguang Kaori had been holding finally eased.
If he had refused, they really wouldn't have had any other options.
"There's no time to lose. If there's nothing else you need me for, I'll head back right away."
The moment Fang Cheng said he was leaving, Oni Yunjie and Yuguang Kaori grew a little nervous.
Shuten-doji might still be lying low somewhere inside the Iron-Cast Palace. If Fang Cheng left, they wouldn't feel safe at all.
"Why not stay a few more days?"
Oni Yunjie urged him, "I'll formally take over as Ghost Lord in a few days. You can leave after that."
