Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Oh dear, what a pity. It seems to be just rumors. I thought it was true. If something like that really happens, we should be careful. Heaven might punish us."

Upon hearing Renka, Menreiki, and Kagura speak one after another, Hyakume seemed to kindly offer a reminder.

I don't know if they really meant well.

Kousaka Kyosuke knew that he might not be able to have a conversation with Murong Ziying for the time being.

I originally wanted to try to find out more information about the cultivation world, but judging from the current situation, I guess I can only try again later.

"It seems that Mr. Murong needs some time to calm down. Let's split up and explore the Demon Realm for a while."

Kousaka Kyosuke said proactively.

He had no intention of giving Murong Ziying a chance to interfere, and he was ready to leave without hesitation.

After all, Menreiki, Renka, and the other yokai he knew were all very cute, and he wouldn't listen to others and give up any of them.

"I'll go find those frogs to lead the way, and you, Hundred-Eyed Demon, will be Mr. Murong's guide on your own, how about that?"

"I have no objection, as long as you're happy."

"Then I'll trouble you to be more understanding of Mr. Murong."

"I've been more tolerant than anyone else. I admire my own good temper for being able to treat a man covered in the blood of monsters with such courtesy."

"Yes, yes, you have such a good temper."

Kousaka Kyosuke echoed this sentiment, nodded to Murong Ziying who was still in a state of indecision, and then left with his men.

"This Hundred-Eyed Demon has a sharp tongue? I really didn't know that."

In Onmyoji, the shikigami with the highest rarity have the most storylines. Hyakume-no-Oni is not very rare, so its story is relatively short.

In short, Hyakume-ki is a yokai who loves beautiful eyes and will stop at nothing to steal them. What's most unusual is that he even got the eyes of Tamamo-no-Mae's beloved daughter and embedded them in his own body. Just thinking about it makes it all the more terrifying.

Kyosuke Kousaka was quite curious as to why Tamamo-no-Mae didn't seem to care at all.

Of course, this curiosity is just so-so; it's better to think about what to eat today.

"Kyosuke is very fond of that man?" Menreiki asked on the way.

Kyosuke Kosaka raised his shoulders, deliberately feigning shock.

"Don't say that. I just find him more pleasing to the eye. I also find Seimei and Hiromasa pleasing to the eye, so that's all there is to it."

Menreiki: "But he seems to have killed a lot of monsters."

Lianhua: "I've also realized that if I were to encounter him alone on the road, I would definitely choose to run away without hesitation."

"Because the Tang Kingdom is not friendly to monsters. As for the reason, we'll have to go and see for ourselves to find out," Kousaka Kyosuke replied.

Kagura said, "It feels like I'm being targeted."

Kyosuke Kosaka agreed in his heart, but didn't say anything more.

What happens to the monsters in the Central Plains is none of his business; he will only stand up for the innocent monsters here.

"Let's stop this topic. We're here to have fun. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Renka asked, "Didn't Lord Kyosuke want to find a frog as a guide?"

Kyosuke Kosaka asked, "You like frogs?"

"I'm curious."

"Then go find them, find those with quieter personalities."

Kyosuke Kousaka immediately thought of a frog.

Menreiki: "Kyosuke, are you saying that many of the other frogs are noisy?"

"Although I don't want to speak ill of others, that's just how it is."

Upon hearing this, Lianhua became even more interested: "Is it making 'quack quack' sounds?"

"They don't usually make much noise, meaning they only have a 'quack' sound at the end of their sentences. They're just a bit noisy."

"To put it nicely, that's being lively."

"I'm sorry, I don't appreciate that. Let's find a quieter place."

Kyosuke Kosaka said to Renka.

Soon, Kyosuke Kosaka, who was leading the way, followed the scent and found the location where the frogs were.

"Huh? Isn't that Kyosuke?"

"Hahaha, Kyosuke? Watch me knock you down with one punch!"

"Calm down! Shuten-dōji! This is Kyōsuke! The fact is he knocked you out with one punch!"

"I don't think it's that strong..."

"Eek! I have to run!"

The moment the group arrived, the noise started non-stop, leaving almost no room for anyone to speak.

"Higanbana Frog, my companion and I are guests of Tamamo-no-Mae. Could you please show us around?"

Among countless frogs, Kyosuke Kousaka accurately spotted one wearing familiar clothing.

"Oh, my apologies. So you are Lady Tamamo-no-Mae's distinguished guests."

A frog that was constantly looking in the mirror heard Kyosuke Kousaka call its name, so it put the mirror back into its sleeve and walked gracefully toward Kyosuke Kousaka and the others.

Kyosuke Kosaka explained with a smile, "Yes, Tamamo-no-Mae still has some things to take care of, so the rest of us decided to go for a walk around."

"However, since they are distinguished guests, it is usually Lord Hyakume who should receive them."

"She's entertaining someone else now."

"Oh, I see. Then I shall be your guide, gentlemen."

"That's what the other shore flower said politely."

From Menreiki's perspective.

The Spider Lily Frog, a frog dressed in spider lily clothes, with bright red lipstick on its lips and spider lily knots in its hair, is quite an eyesore, yet it's also rare for it to want to laugh.

"Does she know about the Red Spider Lily? But even if she did, given her personality, she'd only say it's interesting. What a boring woman."

The spirit of the face passed through a secret passage.

She was thankful that none of the frogs were imitating her attire, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

If you really encounter one, you can't expect the frog to give up her appearance; that would seem like bullying the weak, and it would be beneath you to argue with a frog.

Coincidentally, Renka and Menreiki shared similar thoughts.

"Tamamo-no-Mae-sensei has such a perverse sense of humor? There's even a frog imitating Yoto-hime? And that one with the paper lantern tied to its back, could it be imitating Aoandon? And that one's imitating Kaguya-hime??"

How terrifying, so terrifying!

Lianhua was shocked, but her face remained expressionless.

After all, the other shore flower frog is to be their guide, so it would be very impolite for her to show a bad attitude.

The only one who didn't experience much emotional fluctuation was probably Kagura.

Kagura had fed some frogs before and was familiar with them, although the frogs seemed to have forgotten what she looked like now.

"Set off."

Kagura heard Kousaka Kyosuke's voice and felt her hair being gently stroked. She looked up and met his doting gaze. Her regrets were overwhelmed by sweetness, and she immediately forgot everything else.

"Ok."

"Ah."

As Kousaka Kyosuke echoed Kagura, he couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted with the frogs.

It has completely forgotten about the owner who has been feeding it for quite some time. What an ingrate!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a frog.

Half an hour later.

Led by the other shore flower frog, everyone saw more barren lands.

The Plain of Demons is a desolate plain. As far as the eye can see, there is no vegetation. What is terrifying is that there are also white bones scattered around, devoid of flesh and blood.

Kousaka Kyosuke could vaguely see some scattered human bones.

"I'm sorry, even weeds are rare here." The Spider Lily Frog apologized to everyone again.

Unfortunately, the Demon Realm is not suitable for visiting.

Because the land has almost no vitality, as the other shore flower frog said, even tenacious weeds cannot leave much of a trace here.

"How are the people who move here supposed to survive?" Kagura sensed something was wrong.

When Higanbana Frog heard Kagura's question, it immediately showed a proud expression.

"It's Lady Tamamo-no-Mae! Lady Tamamo-no-Mae gave them those fields where crops can be grown!"

Menreiki also asked, "Free of charge?"

The other shore flower frowned: "How is that possible? Those humans still have to offer 30% of the harvest. After all, there's no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world."
