Not far away, Hikari Fangxu walked over and bowed to the two of them.
"I'm back, Hizuru Fangxi." The blind girl had a calm expression and did not show any other emotions because of the failure of the mission.
"I'm sorry, Miss." Hikari Fangxu lowered his head: "Their strength is far beyond our imagination, and Kamikawa Hai has encountered an unknown and terrible enemy..."
"It's okay, you don't need to blame yourself." The blind girl shook her head: "What we need to do now is to continue fighting with the will of our companions. Everything is for the ultimate goal. Our plan will not be affected."
"Yeah." Hikari Fangxu nodded and looked up at the black-robed leader. The young lady was responsible for everything in the Paradise Cult, and even she had never seen the true appearance of this so-called leader, nor had she ever heard her speak.
Apart from her ridiculously good figure, everything else is a mystery.
At this time, Seimei Shrine.
"Nice eyes." Tsuchimikado Setsuna was wearing a gorgeous priest robe and her waist-length white hair made her look like she walked out of a myth. She smiled kindly, "My child, it seems that you are ready to make up your mind?"
"Hungry... no need to be so immature." Li Muzhi's mouth twitched: "I want to learn how to control demonic power."
"Oh~" Tsuchimikado Setsuna shrugged and took off the wig on his head: "I thought you would prefer the way of talking just now at your age."
After saying that, he looked at Li Muzhi, his eyes narrowed with a smile and said, "Then let's start by washing mom's feet."
Chapter 127: Of course you can’t wear clothes when taking a bath~
Li Muzhi rubbed his nose with his hand, and looked down at Tsuchimikado Setsuna. Seeing that she was looking at him with a smile, it didn't seem like she was joking. He took a deep breath and said truthfully: "Although the attack organized by Paradise this time seemed anticlimactic, it was all thanks to you that we won. I know very well... If we continue like this, it won't work. I hope to be able to protect important people when danger occurs."
After hearing his words, Tsuchimikado Setsuna's expression didn't change at all, as if everything was within her expectations. She stood up with a smile on her face, her folding fan covering half of her smiling face: "Mom is very pleased to see you grow up~ But what mom said is serious~ If you want to become stronger, you can't be so determined as to not have this level of awareness."
"Uh..." Li Muzhi had a strange expression, looking down at her white bare feet exposed from under the moon-colored priest robe. Washing someone's feet was a bit humiliating, but if the target was Tsuchimikado Setsuna, it wouldn't be so hard to accept. He didn't know what kind of weird play she was playing. The corners of his mouth twitched: "Please don't associate this kind of second-year dialogue with the weird plot of the movie!"
Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled with a smirk in his eyes, and without explanation, he turned around and said, "Come with me."
It was unclear what she was going to do, but I followed her all the way through the buildings and into the woods. Soon, I came to a Japanese-style building surrounded by wooden boards. I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but I could vaguely see steam coming out from the outside.
"Come in." Tsuchimikado pushed open the wooden door, and the scene inside appeared. Connecting inside was a gravel road. At the end of the road was a hot spring surrounded by stones, emitting hot steam.
"Is this a hot spring?" Li Muzhi's face was full of confusion. Tsuchimikado Setsuna often did not take the usual path, but he did not expect him to come to the hot spring to practice. Moreover, this place did not seem like a place where one could practice serious things.
"This is not an ordinary hot spring." Tsuchimikado Setsuna walked barefoot on the stone road, walking inside gracefully, "This is the place where the legendary great monster, the nine-tailed demon fox, is sealed."
As he spoke, he closed the folding fan in his hand and pointed to the hot spring: "Below the hot spring is the killing stone that seals the Nine-Tailed Fox."
This explanation was completely beyond his understanding. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was one of the most famous monsters in Eastern legends. Whether it was games or animations, it was basically the final BOSS. Now someone suddenly told you that the legendary creature was right in front of you, which inevitably gave people a sense of unreality.
And what does this have to do with my own cultivation? After going through the legendary monster history in my mind, I asked, "So this only looks like a hot spring, but it's actually a very powerful sealing barrier?"
"No, this is the hot spring." Tsuchimikado Setsuna smiled and denied his doubts. He walked towards the hot spring on the stone path. "Although the Nine-Tailed Fox is sealed, her terrifyingly powerful demonic power will still leak out. It would be a pity to let this demonic power dissipate in the air. So we built a hot spring above her to store the demonic power in the hot spring water."
"Hey, you're digging a hot spring on someone else's grave. Aren't you afraid that the Nine-Tailed Fox will be unsealed one day and destroy the Seimei Shrine?" He immediately understood the principle of the hot spring, but he always felt indescribable weirdness about the transformation of other people's graves.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna glanced at him with a smile and said, "If that day comes, you will protect your mother, right?"
"Uh... this question is very strange." Li Muzhi looked at the hot spring, which was built on the killing stone. Except that the water itself was a little white, it looked no different from an ordinary hot spring. He asked, "What should I do now?"
"Take off your clothes, then go to the hot spring and feel the demonic power of the Nine-Tailed Fox." Tsuchimikado Setsuna narrowed his eyes into slits and spoke in a relaxed tone, as casual as if he was calling the neighborhood kid to come over for dinner.
Li Muzhi's common sense was all taught by her. She had never explained in detail whether humans could absorb demonic power, but this kind of thing also instinctively felt a little unreliable: "I think it's impossible for humans to absorb demonic power."
"For humans to absorb demonic power is as easy as eating." Tsuchimikado Setsuna covered his mouth and said with a smile. Without giving him time to think, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and his clothes suddenly began to spontaneously combust.
"Hey!" The speed was too fast. In just a moment of distraction, his body was already burned bare by the fox fire. It was the same type of fox fire he usually used. But in the hands of Tsuchimikado Setsuna, it was very flexible and could be precisely controlled to burn only the clothes without hurting the body.
Although people usually call Tsuchimikado Setsuna "Mom", that is more of a joke. More often than not, they regard her as the gentle aunt next door.
He quickly reached out to cover his key part and looked over: "This is too much. Who did I offend with my clothes?"
"There's no need to be shy. It's not like you haven't seen it before." Tsuchimikado Setsuna covered his mouth and put his hand on the belt of his robe.
"Wait, what do you do?"
"Of course you can't wear clothes when taking a bath~"
. . .
Soaking my body in the spring water was indeed no different from spring water in other places, except that it was a little difficult to calm down.
Tsuchimikado Setsuna was also soaking nearby, with her long hair tied up behind her head, like a gentle woman. Although the transparency of the hot spring was not high and there was steam rising around it, one could still clearly see the curves of her body even in this foggy situation.
Just a glance, I couldn't help but compare her figure with my aunt's. In terms of curves, she is not inferior to my aunt at all. However, compared with my aunt's cold and sexy, she is more gentle, probably because she is a witch.
"Mom, do you think she looks good?" When Tsuchimikado saw Li Muzhi's gaze on him, he did not hide it at all. Instead, he put his hands behind his back on the edge of the stone. This posture made his conscience stand up and his curves became more exaggerated.
"Humph." He retracted his gaze and turned his head: "When do we start practicing?"
"It has already started." Tsuchimikado Setsuna said as she suddenly stood up. Spring water dripped from her smooth skin. She slowly walked behind Li Muzhi, put her hands around his neck, and hugged him in her arms.
Li Muzhi did not move at this moment, letting his head sink into his conscience. It was not that he did not want to move, but from the beginning, his whole body suddenly became unable to move.
At this time, Tsuchimikado Setsuna had already leaned over to his ear, his voice extremely gentle, but he seemed to have become another person: "My child, we meet again."
Chapter 128 Li Muzhi's Background
Her wet hands wrapped around his neck, and she felt the soft touch of skin where their skin touched. Tsuchimikado Setsuna's body was very soft. She spread out her five slender fingers and slowly moved them from Li Muzhi's neck to his chest, and finally stopped outside his heart.
Her nose rested on the back of his neck, and she breathed greedily, as if trying to confirm his scent. The exhaled air hit her skin, causing her to feel itchy.
"Who... are you?" Li Muzhi was unable to move. The plump woman behind him was wearing the skin of Tsuchimikado Setsuna, but it was obviously a different person. The powerful aura made it difficult for him to even open his mouth.
This is the difference in rank between monsters. A powerful monster can make the enemy surrender with its momentum alone. He has encountered such a situation before, such as Hanazonoin Yunoki and Arima Yanobu, but it had no effect on him. Instead, he took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Originally, he thought that he was not affected by the monster's power because he was a human, but now it seems that... he just didn't encounter a monster that was strong enough.
"Strange..." The voice of the woman behind him was gentle and charming, making people feel numb all over. But her tone became doubtful, as if she didn't smell the smell she wanted. She slowly opened her mouth and lightly bit his neck.
The bite was not severe, he only felt a little pain and itch, his neck was easily bitten through, but he was surprised that it was just skin broken. His physical strength had been tested in countless battles, but now it was easily bitten through by the woman behind him without any effort.
The woman stuck out her tongue and licked his wound. The confusion on her face became even more serious, but her voice was still gentle and charming: "Child, why did you become a human being?"
These words were said to him, but he felt confused. His head was full of question marks, but he didn't dare to say anything. If she found out that he had recognized the wrong child, would she eat him directly? Moreover, under such great pressure, he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
The woman seemed to have noticed his abnormality as well. She frowned slightly, then waved her jade hand, and the powerful oppressive force in the air that seemed to be tangible disappeared instantly.
Li Muzhi felt that the mountain pressing on him had disappeared. His muscles relaxed and he collapsed. However, the moment he fell into the hot spring, a jade hand caught him and gently straightened his body.
He quickly turned around and was stunned the moment he saw the woman behind him. The senior, the aunt and Tsuchimikado Setsuna were the most beautiful girls he had ever seen, with different types of beauty, but the woman in front of him was different.
Her figure and appearance are similar to Tsuchimikado Setsuna, but she exudes a kind of temperament from the inside out. Just one look at her will make people willing to do anything for her.
But he soon came to his senses, turned his head away with a blushing face. Just now, Tsuchimikado Setsuna was not wearing any clothes when he walked into the spring, so naturally she was not wearing any clothes either.
The woman said nothing, but looked at him gently, as if waiting for his answer.
When he turned his head away, the crazy feeling was better. It frightened him. Just looking at her was so scary. The identity of the woman in front of him was obvious. He couldn't understand what Tsuchimikado Setsuna was planning and why she brought him to such a dangerous place.
Now was not the time to think about these issues. She had just asked why she was a human. This question also made him feel puzzled, and he quickly analyzed the current situation in his head.
If I choose to tell a lie, it will be too easy to be exposed in front of such a big demon, and there is almost no possibility of hiding. It is better to tell the truth: "Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. I have always been a human, not a monster. Did you... recognize the wrong person?"
"No." The woman still had a gentle expression and shook her head. Her every move was extremely noble and her voice was soft: "I will never mistake my own child."
After saying that, she stretched out a hand and placed it gently on his cheek, her eyes full of kindness, which was inconsistent with her charming temperament, but one could still feel the deep love in her eyes.
"It's okay. I'm very happy to meet you again. When we separated last time, you hadn't opened your eyes yet. Now you've grown so big."
"Uh..." Li Muzhi blushed slightly. He didn't dare to look at this woman who was obviously extremely charming but full of maternal radiance towards him. He whispered, "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about."
The woman was not annoyed. She leaned over and gently held him in her arms. She held his head with her other hand and placed it on her conscience: "I can't come out for too long. Let me hold you."
He originally wanted to struggle, but the woman in front of him did not seem to be faking her emotions, so he did not struggle.
At this moment, the surrounding spring water suddenly rose up with a "splash" sound, wrapping the two of them in it.
It was just a moment of daze, and he felt himself in a strange state, as if he was watching a memory fragment.
This is a fox with a whole body of platinum. Although it is a fox, its eyes are like those of a human woman, extremely charming. The most eye-catching thing is the nine tails behind it, each of which exudes tremendous demonic power.
While she was fighting, opposite her was an old man dressed in Yan country clothes. With just a wave of his hand, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the whole world seemed to be under his control.
Although the nine-tailed fox also showed impressive fighting ability, it was no match for the old man and fled with serious injuries.
The next step is to cross the ocean and arrive at another land.
Although the Nine-Tailed Fox was injured, it was like a shark entering a pond here, like a world-destroying natural disaster. It could summon thunder, fire, wind, earthquakes, floods, and even the dead. It quickly subdued all the monsters here.
But after becoming the queen of monsters, after many years, Nine-Tailed Fox felt lonely and wanted to create a companion for herself, so she transformed herself into a human woman and blended in with humans, controlling the human emperor and began to implement her plan.
They began to capture humans and monsters with spiritual powers in large numbers, absorbed and concentrated their power, and put it into a pool. When the spiritual power in the pool reached a certain level, it turned milky white.
The Nine-Tailed Fox stayed by the pool every day, using secret techniques to control the pool, hoping for the birth of new life. However, the world outside was not peaceful, and her plundering behavior would certainly bring disaster to the world.
Thus, for the first time, humans and monsters put aside their past grudges, united together, and formed a coalition to fight against her.
The original goal was just to drive this horrible monster out of the country, but the battle was extremely brutal. The Nine-Tailed Fox's determination to fight to the death was beyond the coalition forces' expectations. Thunder, fire, wind, earthquakes, and floods caused huge casualties to the coalition forces, and countless dead people stood up again under the Nine-Tailed Fox's demonic power.
Those powerful monsters fell into a deep sleep due to their serious injuries, and countless powerful humans died in this battle.
Chapter 129 My Mom is the Big Boss?!
There is no doubt that this was an epic battle. In order to protect the land where they live, humans and monsters burst out with unprecedented courage. Even a strong one like the Nine-Tailed Fox was covered with scars under such an attack.
But unlike the last time when he was defeated by the old man from Yan Country, this time Nine-Tailed Fox did not choose to escape, but fought to the death.
The battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. The human warriors suffered heavy casualties, with only one in ten surviving. The normally arrogant monsters were also severely wounded. The Nine-Tailed Fox was also dying. At this stage of the war, it was a pure contest of wills.
The power of the Nine-Tailed Fox far exceeded the coalition forces' expectations. They knew that if they couldn't take down the Nine-Tailed Fox in one fell swoop, by the time she recovered, there would be no force in the world that could fight against her.
A young Onmyoji named Abe Haruaki in the human coalition soon discovered this problem. It was obvious that if the Nine-Tailed Fox chose to escape now and come back to seek revenge after her injuries recovered, they would be helpless as the coalition no longer had the ability to stop her from leaving.
So Abe Haruaki concluded that the Nine-Tailed Fox must have a reason for not being able to leave. From her behavior of collecting demonic power, it was obvious that she was making something, and it was something that the Nine-Tailed Fox regarded as more important than her own life and would not give up.
So he persuaded the top leaders of the coalition forces, who were already on the brink of collapse, and went alone to negotiate with the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Now Nine-Tailed Fox is at the end of her strength. The injuries she has suffered have long exceeded the limit that her body can bear. She is relying purely on willpower to support the battle.
Abe Haruaki and the Nine-Tailed Fox reached a secret agreement. With his help, the demonic power in the spring finally gathered together and turned into a young fox with a snow-white body and one tail.
The little fox is very cute. Since it was just born, its eyes are not open yet and it is just making unconscious humming sounds.
Nine-Tailed Fox dragged his injured body, held the snow-white little fox in his arms, stretched out his tongue, and licked his body carefully.
With the help of Abe Haruaki, the little white fox was placed in a forest. Obviously, this was one of the agreements between him and the Nine-Tailed Fox. She didn't want her child to be adopted by humans. Relying on her child's powerful demonic power, there would be no danger even in the wild.
After doing all this, Kyuubi's body finally couldn't hold on and he fell to the ground, his body turning into a piece of stone.
