After shaking off Ibaraki Douji, Shutun immediately put him to the back of his mind and took me on the road to find Abe Haruaki.
We walked through many places at a leisurely pace. I also saw what kind of life humans lived in this era. However, because Shutun refused to hide his completely different appearance, we didn't really get close to this era.
On the other hand, I also encountered many monsters.
I didn't know much about Japanese history, but this era seemed to be the era when monsters ran rampant. They were unscrupulous and tyrannical. Humans were powerless in front of the monsters. Only a few Onmyojis and witches could destroy the monsters and preserve the living space of humans.
Fortunately, there was no clear alliance between monsters. Otherwise, humans would have been completely wiped out by monsters.
And it seemed that because I had a huge amount of spiritual power (Thongo said that my spiritual power surpassed all the Onmyoji he had seen), I was like the meat of Tang Seng, coveted by all kinds of monsters.
"If I eat you, I can probably turn from an ordinary monster into a great monster like me."
"That's strange. Before I came to this world, I was clearly an ordinary person. How can I have such powerful spiritual power?"
I couldn't figure it out, but then I thought of another question: "Then, Shutun, do you want to eat me?"
The look in Jiu Tun's eyes made me nervous and excited, and I curled up into a ball.
"Anyway, human life is very short. After you die, I will eat you all." Shutun said straightforwardly.
Does this mean that he wants to grow old with me?
Wow! What a big ball!
My face was red and my eyes were watering. I covered my face and buried it in the gourd, wanting to be shy. However, he felt his hair being pulled forcefully. Shuteng, who was still a straight man, kept nagging at him, "Hey, the original contract was that I would eat you if I found Abe Seimei. Are you still unhappy now?"
I really wanted to be shy for a while, but he kept on talking nonsense in my ear. I flipped him over and said fiercely, "Shut up, you straight man!"
Shutun stared at me: "You seem to be less and less afraid of me recently."
"That's your fault!" I didn't want to admit defeat. I jumped up and stood on the gourd, occupying the high ground. "You made me like this!"
The gourd knocked me off my feet.
How infuriating! I feel that our relationship is already so good. Why does Shun Tun keep messing with me like this!
But every time this happened, his condescending gaze made me feel that he was too handsome!
I was angry at myself as I swallowed the alcohol. I lay on the ground and refused to get up. The ground was cold and I couldn't help but cough again.
This cough hadn't gotten better since the last time I had a fever. Instead, it got worse and worse. Every time I coughed, I missed the various antibiotics I had in my time. No matter what, I just needed an injection. This kind of cough was nothing.
But in this era, he had also been to some big cities. Unfortunately, no matter what medicine he took, there was no effect.
After a few coughs, Jiu Tun picked me up from the ground and placed me back on top of the wine gourd.
In a fit of pique, I didn't reach out to hug the wine gourd, thinking that I might as well just drop it. At this time, Jiu Tun cleverly hugged me.
"Humans are really scary creatures." Jiu Tun caressed my face, his expression unprecedentedly calm. "You are obviously so weak, hateful, and a liar. Yet, I actually find you interesting."
"…" I didn't even feel touched for a second before I became expressionless. "Oh, I'm sorry. Hurry up and leave. I'm having a great time alone."
Jiu Tun stiffly reached out his hand and pressed me against his chest. "Shut up."
"If you want me to shut up, can't you be more gentle with me?!" I felt wronged and uncomfortable. "You're practically a bachelor for eight hundred years!"
Although I didn't hear a reply, I could imagine Jiu Tun's expression. He must be extremely disdainful. After all, he'd told me before that he'd captured human women and children and locked them up in his city as toys. When he got impatient, he'd eat them up.
I struggled to lift my head out from his arms and glared at him. "Your physical body is at max level, but your spirit is at zero!"
"Don't I have you!?"
… Mm.
I leaned my head into Jiu Tun's arms.
"Then, I'm a cute, gentle, kind, understanding, smart and lively human."
"… Hey! How can you say something like that!? Don't you feel guilty!? "
"Not only am I not guilty, I'm even a little happy."
"…"
"Say it."
"You're … a human."
How insincere.
I stared at Jiu Tun. He opened his mouth but didn't make any sound. Finally, he said angrily, "Enough! It's because you're always so baffling that we haven't been able to find Abe Haruaki yet! "
Oh.
Alright, it's all my fault.
Hehehehe.
I sat obediently on the wine gourd and followed Jiu Tun forward. I stopped provoking Thongo's nerves.
"Then, why did I summon you when I drew the blue talisman earlier?"
"Is there something you're unhappy about summoning me?" Jiu Tun stared at me with an expression that made me think that if I answered yes, the result would be quite strange. I hurriedly put on an expression of extreme worship to show my loyalty.
Thongo was finally satisfied when he saw that I liked him so much. He said, "Normally, Onmyoji can only summon demons when they use talismans to form a contract with them. Even if I summon a real monster with my body, it has to be nearby. "
"But you're different. Your spiritual power allowed me to come to your side from the mountains. Do you know how powerful that is?"
… It's probably the spiritual power of all the Spirit-branded Retainers in Onmyoji, over 100 Heroic Spirits in FGO, the eternal City of 7 Divine Equipment Users, and the 177 cards of the Sprite Commandeering Record?
Thinking about it, I felt that I was really awesome. I'm afraid that no female protagonist in any manga or novel could be as awesome as me!
"Then I'm really awesome!" I looked at Jiu Tun proudly. "If you curry favor with me, maybe I'll be merciful and give you a lot of spiritual power!"
Jiu Tun looked at me and smirked. "I only know one way to curry favor with a woman. Do you want to try it?"
… …
That smile was too much of a cheat!
Every time Thongo and I didn't speak, I really wanted to go over and squeeze together. However, whenever Thongo became like this, I immediately became a weakling and became infatuated with him.
However, this was the first time Thongo had said that to me. I immediately replied loudly, "Yes!"
"You answered like that!" Jiu Tun seemed to be unable to accept it. "Are you really a human woman?"
"What! You're starting to think that I'm not reserved enough. Then you shouldn't have flirted with me in the first place! "I covered my face and pretended to cry." Thongo, you're making me feel so uncomfortable. "
Jiu Tun didn't respond for a long time. I secretly peeked through the gaps in my hands and saw Jiu Tun's expression. He was staring at me as if I was more uncomfortable than Ibaraki.
I felt that he was really cute. After all, this was the first time I, Thongo, saw a girl as a human. It wasn't inconceivable that he was a straight man!
"Are you scared like this!" I jumped up and looked at Jiu Tun arrogantly. "If you like it like this, I can do it in the future too!"
Jiu Tun heaved a sigh of relief. "It doesn't matter. You're not allowed to cry in front of me anymore."
"That's not something I can control." I replied.
Jiu Tun's expression was that of a headache again. He directly hugged me and kissed me fiercely. "Let's go look for Abe Haruaki first."
Although this was our contract, I didn't care whether I could find Abe Haruaki or not.
What's the point of studying! I just want to fall in love!
However, Jiu Tun was much more serious than me in this aspect. He didn't stop on the road this time and arrived at Ping An Jing without any obstruction. He blocked Abe Haruaki at his door.
"Shutendoji?" When Abe Haruaki saw Jiu Tun, his long and narrow eyes curved. "What a rare guest. May I know why you are here?"
"You should know more about humans than I do, son of the Fox Demon." Jiu Tun pressed down on my head. "What's wrong with this human?"
Abe Haruaki looked at me.
"Your miasma has contaminated her body." Abe Haruaki sighed. "Although this child has unparalleled spiritual power, she doesn't know how to use it. She can't resist your powerful demonic power."
I didn't feel that it was real. If Jiu Tun didn't suddenly put more force on my head, I would have thought that I was dreaming.
"You should be able to see it too." Abe Haruaki sighed. "Her life force is decreasing. If you continue to stay by her side, she will die soon. "
Jiu Tun didn't answer. I felt that he was very uncomfortable now. I hurriedly reached my hand above my head and pressed down on Jiu Tun's hand. "It's okay. Anyway, I don't like this world without braised chicken and squirrel fish. If I can't be with Jiu Tun, there's no meaning in living."
"Me too." Jiu Tun looked at me and said, "That's how a demon's love is. Even if you are in pain and refuse, as long as it starts, it will never end. "
Abe Haruaki also didn't have a good way to deal with Jiu Tun's demonic energy. After teaching me some ways to use my spiritual power, I bid farewell to Abe Haruaki and continued to walk in this era where there was nothing good.
Archaeologists would probably be very happy to come to this era. However, I wasn't interested at all. There wasn't anything good to eat or fun. If Jiu Tun wasn't by my side, I wouldn't be interested in this place at all.
However, it was different with Jiu Tun. I found everything he did very interesting.
Unfortunately, even if I used what Abe Haruaki taught me, I felt that I was getting weaker and weaker. After a period of time, even breathing became uncomfortable.
We stopped at an abandoned hut in the mountains, waiting for my inevitable death.
I felt so uncomfortable. I felt like I couldn't breathe. I really wanted to poke a hole in my chest and dig out my lungs.
"Am I going to die?" I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't help but reach out and grab Jiu Tun's clothes. "Am I going to die, Tun Tun?"
"You're going to die soon."
A calm voice entered my ears.
I was angry. I felt wronged and uncomfortable. I couldn't help but push him away. "I'm so angry … You're always unwilling to be … gentle with me …"
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. I sat up in shock. I was so shocked that I was about to die.
"You're going to die. I'm going to eat you."
"Then, then, then, then quickly let me die!" Tears were about to fall from my eyes. I hissed in pain. "Kill me and you can eat me however you want!"
I couldn't see Jiu Tun's movements. I could only feel his bloody tongue licking the tears off my face.
