After hearing Ugou Mirai's explanation, Tamamo-no-Mae and Ibaraki-doji fell silent.
They had never imagined something like this could happen.
Although Ugou Mirai claimed that she was now Ootengu too, it was obvious that Ugou Mirai's consciousness was in control.
Would she really side with the monsters?
It seemed far-fetched. People in love usually weren't thinking straight, and monsters were no different.
They could only hope that Ootengu's influence on her would be strong enough to make her more rational, and keep her from turning into a hopeless romantic.
Fang Cheng and Yuguang Kaori, on the other hand, were relieved. Although Ugou Mirai's appearance and personality had changed drastically, as long as she was still their Puppy, that was all that mattered.
"What exactly is going on between you three?"
Fang Cheng looked around at them. "Would you mind explaining?"

Tamamo-no-Mae and Ibaraki-doji exchanged a glance. They weren't willing to share their secret with Fang Cheng.

He wasn't doing it just to save time. He also wanted to be cautious.
He needed to verify for himself whether Ugou Mirai really was
