Naomi Hayakawa surveyed her surroundings. It was unknown if it was because of her trust in the department head, but she could feel a faint aura in the air. It was as though something was being destroyed, and something was being reborn.
This feeling was fleeting.
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's gentle reminder, Naomi did not want to fall behind. She immediately shook off this feeling and followed closely behind Yako, "Yamada-kun, don't worry. I will do my best!"
The two maidens who came to greet him were respectful and taciturn. They led him to a courtyard surrounded by ancient trees before bowing and retreating. A faint fragrance wafted from the quaint house. After resting for a while, someone served some sushi to Seiji.
After getting used to Naomi's cooking and tasting the sushi here, Pei Zi Yun realized that the sushi tasted rather good in his memory was now bland.
Yako had been spoiled by Naomi and was initially curious about the specialties here. Now, he was no longer interested.
Naomi thought about what Pei Zi Yun had said and knew that they would be busy for the entire night. She then said to Pei Zi Yun, "Yamada-kun, why don't you let me prepare some food? We have to work harder when we are working overtime. What do you want to eat?"
Yako's eyes lit up, "Naomi, can we have pork chop rice?"
After fighting for an entire day, she did not want to eat bland food. She wanted to eat meat!
"Sure. Yamada-kun, Miss Rina, what would you like to eat?" Naomi felt that she was worth something now. Her crescent eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Pei Zi Yun. It was obvious that Rina was here as well.
Pei Zi Yun said gently, "Pork chop rice as well. Thank you for your hard work, Naomi."
Rina stood up and said, "It's getting late, I shall not disturb you any further. If there's anything, Yamada-kun, you can contact me anytime."
He then turned to Naomi and said, "Miss Naomi, I will get someone to send the ingredients over after I go out."
"Thank you." Naomi thanked Rinako, and Rinako left. Not long after, a miko brought over the ingredients for the pork chop rice.
There was a kitchen in the courtyard. Although the courtyard and the building looked ancient, as though time had stopped a hundred years ago, there were many modern kitchenware in the kitchen. The moment they entered, they felt as though they had returned to the city.
When Hayakawa Naomi entered, her almond-shaped eyes turned into crescent moons, and she became energetic. Although she could fight, she didn't like it, and only the kitchen could make her feel at ease.
With a smile on her face, she began to cook the pork chop rice. Pork chop rice not only required good meat quality, but also required a suitable chef and the right method to fry the most delicious pork chop.
As Pei Zi Yun lay down, Young Boy switched on the television and started peeling the sweet and juicy oranges. From time to time, he would share them with his onii-chan. Pei Zi Yun was very satisfied with this.
Looking at the cheerful Yazi, Pei Zi Yun was affected by it as well. He smiled and took a bite. His eyes turned and looked up into the sky.
In the Eternal World Shrine (Spirit World), Torii was gradually being reborn. Due to his own power, Torii was slowly transforming from an illusory entity into a physical entity. This process was slow yet unstoppable.
In the filth and darkness, some shadows struggled to squeeze out of the darkness. They reached out towards the faintly glowing torii with yearning and hatred.
'Time is very important. Although I already have godhood in this world, I still need time to grow.'
'The infant stage of a god is just as dangerous as the infant stage of a great demon. Before they mature, the infant stage of a great demon will attract the attention of other demons. Not only will the infant stage of a god attract demons who want to devour their flesh and blood, they will also be suppressed by their enemies.'
'The more powerful the god is, the more dangerous the infant stage is.'
'Looks like there will be more than one fierce battle in the near future.'
But to Pei Zi Yun, he was already used to this. The reason why the strong were called strong was because they would often grow through trials and tribulations. Those enemies that were defeated were just stepping stones on the road to growth.
After a long while, a few black figures mustered up their courage and touched the torii. Suddenly, a white light ignited on their hands. This white light instantly spread upwards, and the black figures only managed to let out a pitiful scream before they were reduced to ashes.
But such godly power made the things in the darkness drool even more.
"The pork chop rice is here." Naomi's pork chop rice was ready and served to Pei Zi Yun and Yako.
The fragrance of the steaming hot pork chop rice filled their nostrils. Pei Zi Yun wasn't hungry at first, but now his appetite was aroused. He took a bite and couldn't help but squint his eyes. He praised, "Naomi's cooking is getting better and better."
"The pork chop rice made by Naomi is the best pork chop rice I've ever tasted!" Yako also liked Naomi's cooking and was eating happily.
Seeing this, Hayakawa Naomi was happy. Although she had the power to help the minister kill the enemy, killing people was still too much for her. She had always been an ordinary junior high school student. She had always felt uncomfortable and wanted to throw up.
But for the sake of the minister, she endured this discomfort and hoped that she could become stronger as soon as possible. The fact that she was not as strong as Yako was always a blow to Naomi.
Looking at the satisfied expression on the minister's face, Naomi felt relieved. No matter what, she had value to the minister and wouldn't just cause him trouble.
Yako quickly finished her portion. She touched her wooden sword and gestured from time to time, as if she was enlightened.
After finishing his cup of tea, Pei Zi Yun looked out at the darkness outside the wooden door, where an unknown creature was lurking. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
"Since we've finished dinner, it's time to get to work."
"Yako, Naomi, follow me."
The two of them did as they were told. With a wave of Pei Zi Yun's hand, they disappeared from where they stood. In the world, three figures appeared.
At this time, even Yako couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Everything in front of him was dusky, and the entire world couldn't see the sun. Gray mist lingered around, and visibility was extremely low. There was also scorched land. In the darkness, a huge bird house was faintly discernible. There was white light shining from it, and a palace could be faintly seen inside. However, it was just an illusion.
Outside the torii, it was endless gray. This aura caused the wooden sword in Yako's hand to tremble slightly. It was an instinctive reaction to fight.
"This is the Jin Chuan Shrine's Chang Shi. The shrine has been around for so long, and there's a lot of filth here. Just using divine power to purify it won't be able to get rid of it immediately. The remaining demonic spirits might be hiding in the nearby corners, and we'll have to work overtime to get rid of them." Pei Zi Yun said gently, his tone calm.
It was as if to him, bringing people into the Jin Chuan Shrine's Chang Shi was nothing out of the ordinary.
Naomi and Yako didn't know much about the Chang Shi, and didn't catch the hidden meaning in Pei Zi Yun's words.
But at this moment, they could all see that outside the faintly lit shrine, there were countless eyes in the darkness, silently watching.
Some were so excited that they couldn't suppress their instincts and rushed forward. Some were observing from afar.
Kuwako pulled out his sword, and the chilly wind grew stronger. The sky darkened, and the stench of blood filled the air. All of a sudden, a head emerged from the ground. Rather than a head, it was more like a cloud of black fog.
The head slowly rose, revealing its body. Gradually, more black fog emerged from the ground, densely packed together, forming an army of demonic spirits.
As they gathered, black clouds formed, and cold rain fell.
Naomi was naturally sensitive to water. She frowned slightly and said softly, "There's something wrong with this rain."
"Phantom rain!"
"Aren't we going to kill them?" Kuwako was eager.
"No, we'll wait for the general to come, and kill them all together. That way, we'll be done with it once and for all." Pei Zi Yun's expression turned cold. At this time, the rain fell, and the entire shrine and the outside seemed exceptionally quiet. Then, there were sounds of slapping coming from afar, but no one could be seen.
Pei Zi Yun's face was filled with mockery. He raised his sword and said, "Still playing tricks."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a "poof" sound. A sword ray turned into an arc and slashed forward. As soon as it appeared, dozens of black fog soldiers were instantly separated from their abdomens!
If it was a human, they would have died long ago. However, these demonic spirits were split in half. Their wounds were wriggling like mud, as if they were trying to reassemble themselves. Then, with a "buzz", a white flame appeared and immediately engulfed them, turning them into drips of blood.
"Kill!" In the face of this situation, the enemy finally couldn't hold it in anymore. The demonic spirits separated, revealing a cavalry in full armor. A black flag was unfurled. Behind them, in the cold wind and rain, a real army that had experienced blood and fire permeated the air.
"Red Ghost Cavalry?"
"Unfortunately, this is the last thing I'm afraid of."
Before he finished his sentence, Pei Zi Yun stared at the neatly organized cavalry that was charging towards him. He gently closed his eyes, and the original image of the Great Xu Dynasty's army appeared in his mind.
"How similar, but I'm finally different."
"If I was in the Yang World, I would still be restricted. But here, I have already established a God Base, how could I dare to be so arrogant?" Pei Zi Yun took a deep breath and raised his hand. There was nothing in his hand, but it was as if he was drawing a bow.
The demonic ghost cavalry had already rushed forward, and their speed was as fast as lightning. The leader even raised his spear and threw it forward!
Following a demonstration, dozens of spears were thrown at the same time, like a torrential rain.
Pei Zi Yun opened his eyes and loosened his grip. A white light flashed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if hundreds of thousands of arrows were released from the bow.
"Buzz", the rain of arrows fell. One could only see the cavalry charging forward, and suddenly, there was a clear piercing sound. Blood sprayed everywhere, and it looked like a bright red flower. Then, their bodies fell off their horses!
Next, there was a "boom" sound, and these cavalry turned into a pool of blood!
This was not the power of the arrows, but rather, they wanted to break up into pieces in order to avoid harm. These pieces of flesh trembled and wriggled as if they wanted to reassemble themselves, but then, "Boom!" The white light burned, and this time, it was different from before. Hundreds of thousands of arrows turned into thousands of piles of fire, and they quickly connected.
"Boom!" The white flame soared into the sky, and the dark world turned into a sea of fire. The demonic ghosts that followed behind were not hit by the arrows, and only touched a little bit, but they also started to burn like the fire.
As the fire burned, there was a continuous stream of white light that turned into stars, and it flowed into the shrine. Affected by this, the torii quickly stabilized, and even the illusory palace gradually became clear.
"Kill, kill all the demonic ghosts, leave none alive." Seeing that more than half of the demonic ghosts had died in one attack, and the demonic ghosts fled in all directions, Pei Zi Yun waved his finger blade.
"Kill!" Yazi was the first to rush forward, and Naomi did not hesitate either. She waved her hand, and in the sky, there was a new rain falling.
"Ah ah ah!" Although the fleeing demonic ghosts did not die immediately, they couldn't help but scream.
