Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

With such a full belly of food, I went out right after changing my clothes this morning. I wonder how Tamamo-no-Mae dealt with it all.

Could it be that she locked herself inside due to her extraordinary talent? That's not something you can do, card player. The shrine maiden has a feeling that the little shrine maiden will definitely have an obsession with being the first to give birth to a divine child.

Hearing the shrine maiden's mocking words, Tamamo-no-Mae was both ashamed and angry, but at this moment her legs were weak and powerless, and it was impossible for her to get close to the shrine maiden and kick him. She could only glare at him fiercely and then look at him again.

"Protect life? Bah! What are you thinking? You can't do anything to the other person, but you can't control their descendants? They all have to die! Not a single one should live!"

After teasing Tamamo-no-Mae, the shrine maiden looked around and wondered to herself, "Why is no one here yet? Am I really going to let them wander around and leave?"

"My lord, the chief priest requests your presence."

As if on cue, a shrine maiden immediately appeared and invited the group to the main hall of the shrine.

This main hall is generally not open to the public and is considered an internal area. The priestess of Asama Shrine is a middle-aged woman, presumably the head of the Fuji clan, and Asama Shrine is the clan's foundation.

"I am truly terrified by the presence of you esteemed gentlemen."

The other party was very tactful and had no airs of arrogance typical of noble families; he was very humble.

“Our lord has informed us that a great deity from Tokyo will be visiting, and has made special arrangements for us to entertain him properly. We must not neglect him.”

"If you don't mind, you can stay here for the night. After a rest, we can arrange for you to climb Mount Fuji on your own and enjoy the view of the Goraikko."

The term "Goraikko" refers to watching the sunrise from the summit of Mount Fuji. Although Mount Fuji is generally only open in July and August, since it is considered someone else's mountain, one can climb to the top whenever they want.

After some arrangements, the shrine did not refuse. Who could refuse to go through the back door? Even if it wasn't sincere, they could enjoy it first and then worry about the consequences.

After the shrine closed, we enjoyed their warm hospitality. Asama Taisha even has its own private hot spring, but since we were on their property, we couldn't bathe together like we did the night before.

However, the other party seemed to understand the shrine's preferences and arranged for several charming shrine maidens to serve them. Of course, it was just proper back-rubbing and such; they had no intention of pimping.

After taking a bath, before the shrine could even decide how to sleep that night or who to sleep with, she opened the door and saw the shrine's chief priest prostrating himself on the ground.

"Lord Shrine, my chief deity requests your presence."

Still within the main hall, the other party dismissed everyone else, led the shrine here, knelt down and bowed several times before rising.

"My Lord, please close your eyes. I will guide you to the mortal realm, where my lord awaits your arrival."

In the future, the shrine originally thought that the shrine would choose to possess or directly manifest in the world, but instead it chose this method.

Jingu shook his head. The other party thought Jingu was refusing and was about to speak when he found that Jingu had disappeared before his eyes and gone to the mortal world.

Originally, the shrine didn't know much about this, but on the one hand, it learned a little bit after returning from the underworld last time, and on the other hand, in the tradition of Yingzhou, once a shrine crosses the torii gate, it is already between the world of the living and the world of the dead, with one foot already in the realm of the gods.

Even if the Divine Palace was completely ignorant, it shouldn't be in such a state that it needed someone else to guide it. In the blink of an eye, the Divine Palace arrived in the Mortal World, within the divine realm of the opposing chief god.

From what Tenkyuu had told Jingu earlier, Jingu understood that the term "Eternal World" was very broad. Any place that living beings and mortals could not set foot in could be called "Eternal World." Eternal World also had all sorts of fantastic and bizarre scenes. It was an unnatural world, as colorful and diverse as the world seen through a kaleidoscope.

The scene before him, the divine realm, was a small courtyard atop Mount Fuji. Smoke and dust billowed from the summit of Mount Fuji, seemingly incredibly distant, yet also like a screen in front of a window.

The shrine maiden sat in front of the tatami mat. The woman in front of her held a teacup and a whisk in her delicate hand. With light, heavy, slow, and fast movements, her fair wrist, as white as frost and snow, had already prepared a bowl of matcha with a slight tremor.

This skill was passed down from across the sea. Even now, as tea-making methods have become more suitable for the pace of modern life, the tea ceremony remains an important part of showcasing the refinement of the nobility of Yingzhou.

Is the person before you a noble? Of course she is. Even disregarding her status as a deity, she is the highest-ranking noble in this country in terms of status alone.

Princess Konohanasakuya, daughter of Oyama Tsumi, was the mountain goddess of Mount Fuji, wife of the Heavenly Grandson, and the grandson of Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan.

Her hair was styled in an updo, with cherry blossom branches used as hairpins. Despite being a matriarch and a married woman, she resembled a charming young girl, amidst the blooming spring flowers.

"Please use it, Jingu-kun."

Although the person in front of me was respectful, polite, dignified and generous, some local legends say that he once cut off the summit of Yatsugatake because he was dissatisfied that Yatsugatake was taller than Mount Fuji.

The other party's tea ceremony skills were indeed superb, but it was pointless to demonstrate this in front of the shrine, as he didn't understand it at all and it was no different from drinking water.

After finishing his tea in one gulp, Jingu looked at the other person with great interest. What was the other person's stance and reason for meeting him?

Chapter 99 Don't waste time

In the eternal world,

"This is the third cup already, aren't you going to say anything?"

Jingu put down his teacup and looked at the goddess before him with amusement.

"Could it be that the goddess is going to offer herself to the tiger? Or does the goddess think that as long as she sits here, she can keep me hooked forever? Everyone knows I don't like married women."

These were extremely offensive words. Konohana Sakura's expression changed slightly, and she sighed.

"It still didn't work, but that's enough for me. Please excuse me for taking my leave now."

Konohana Sakura bowed slightly, then rose and left, while the real person had just appeared and taken her place.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Now that you've stepped in, why rush to leave?"

A silver-haired figure sat down at the table, her long hair braided and hanging down her back. She had a youthful face and innocent teeth, yet possessed a mature and composed air. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Jingu couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

"Have we met somewhere?"

"Your Excellency Jingu is truly forgetful. Have you forgotten? Back at Nezu Shrine, you asked me who I was."

The woman remained calm and brushed away the teacup in front of her.

"I forgot to introduce myself last time. I am Yagokoro and Kagami, you can just call me Yagokoro. At the same time, I am also the ancestral god of Fujiwara, Amagoya-no-Mikoto, and Fujiwara Chiyo is my descendant."

So that's how it is. This is the petty and cunning person that Tenkyu Jixian once mentioned. Plus, with half of Shaoyan Mingming from Tenkyu Jixian, this guy has many aliases.

"So it was you. Then why did you send Chiyo to me and lure me here?"

"Are you so sure it's me? Aren't you worried that there are other people plotting against me?"

This indirectly confirms Jingu's words, implying that everything along the way was arranged by her. She was able to easily mobilize the Five Regents and the online buzz that no amount of effort could suppress, spreading Chiyo's news and then using Sato Yoshikiyo, the ghost of the old era, as corroboration.

This has led to the current situation. Even Chiyo herself was personally delivered to the Shrine. But after going through all this trouble, why is the Shrine now trying to take Chiyo away from them?

Is it really just because he's petty and wants to get revenge?

"There's nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if there are other people around. In the end, it all comes down to who pulls the net."

The shrine remained completely calm, seemingly unconcerned that it was anything serious.

"Indeed, it is precisely because of your blind self-confidence that everything goes according to my expectations. Even if you know that someone is using you, you will not care and will continue to make decisions according to your own preferences."

Yagokoro nodded, unsurprised. This was not a clever plan at all; on the contrary, it was rather crudely made. Considering the character of the shrine maiden, she hadn't even prepared many backup plans.

"Now that everything is as you wish, can you tell me what you want to do? I have a general idea, but I really can't figure out the key flaws."

"So if I tell you, will you just sit here quietly drinking tea and not interfere with what happens next?"

Yagokoro smiled, yet an invisible current flowed...

A surge of energy began, and the atmosphere between the two became tense.

"Of course not. In the end, we'll see who's the one to put away the line. Let's not waste time before the fish bite."

The wind howled, the lake surged, and the mountains trembled. The shrine no longer resembled an ordinary boy; slender horns sprouted from his forehead, and his pupils seemed to hold churning wind and thunder.

"Come on! Let me see what you've prepared, and what you're going to use to keep me here!"

Eighth God stood up, took out a bow, and a stream of light emanated from it.

One great advantage of living in the mortal world is that you can act freely, although your actions in the mortal world will have some impact on the present world.

In the present day, Mount Fuji is shrouded in dark clouds, obscuring its summit, with occasional flashes of lightning revealing the outline of the clouds.

The procession ascending the mountain moved in silence. Chiyo, dressed in a plain white kimono, sat listlessly on the palanquin, no longer struggling, as she was carried towards the summit.

Suga and the others followed behind, their faces filled with worry, but there was nothing they could do. They could only hope in their hearts that the shrine would return soon.

In the mortal realm, however, the battle has only just begun.

"Let me guess, the root of the problem is still the elixir of immortality, right?"

The shrine was closing in on its opponent step by step, while Hachiko seemed to be using some kind of peculiar footwork to stretch space, draw his bow and nock an arrow, but the target was not the shrine, but something embedded in the air, triggering a pre-arranged formation.

Countless beams of light attempted to trap the divine palace within, but before they could even take shape, they were torn apart by the raging winds and lightning.

The world seemed like an apocalyptic scene, with the wind sweeping everything away and lifting it up. Water, sand, rocks... everything was mixed in the wind, and the once beautiful view of Mount Fuji was now so dark that nothing could be seen, except for the roaring thunder in the clouds, which seemed to be tearing the world apart and illuminating the heavens and the earth.

Heaven and earth seemed to be mixed together, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning being everything in this world.

The arrays, spells, summoned creatures... all sorts of preparations and arrangements were activated, but they were all shattered by the apocalypse without any ripples. Even the mountains themselves were shaken and uprooted.

Even though the Eightfold Path is a knowledgeable and ancient deity passed down from antiquity, it was still shocked by the scene before it, and at the same time felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, they were not arrogant enough to fight the Divine Palace in the mortal world; otherwise, whether they succeeded or not, they would have dragged the entire Yingzhou into the abyss.

Even in the mortal realm, this storm had already torn apart the boundaries of this divine realm, expanding into the boundless mortal realm around it. Countless beings in the mortal realm, whether minor gods or demons hiding within, were mercilessly swept up and turned into dust.

Ba Yijian dared not hide her talents any longer and took out her medicine pot. She had traveled to many countries in ancient times and studied countless subjects. Her expertise was in medicine and astronomy, as well as some magic and Taoist arts she had learned from across the sea.

The medicine pot was shot into the sky, and the expansion of the storm was immediately stopped, as if it was confined to a small world.

"This is the heaven within the pot. Fujiwara Chiyo mistakenly believed that she was hiding in the deep mountains, but in reality, she has always been inside my pot."

With a swift movement, the arrow was nocked and shot into the sky, piercing the obscuring sky and leaving a glittering star in its wake.

She had no divine office related to combat, and all she could do was rely on what she had learned: Yin-Yang arts, magic, Taoist arts, magic... and everything else. The reason she was able to snatch half of the divine office from the Heavenly Bow Assembly was because she never stopped learning.

These are the two strongest moves she has learned: Heaven in a Pot and the secret technique that goes with them, the Astronomical Burial Method.

Within the world of the pot, the constellations would change according to her will, forming a true killing move.

With the glittering stars in the sky as a fixed point, countless starlights shot towards the divine palace. Even in the dark storm, the neatly arranged starlight could be seen falling.

This chapter has 2150 words. Waaaaah, Kurushi wasn't released. You can only apply once every 48 hours. Luckily, it's not a particularly important part of the plot.

Chapter 100 Defeat!

"Too slow! And too weak!"

The power of the starburst is quite impressive. If it were to fall into the mortal realm, it could easily alter the terrain. With so many impacts, it might even create a crater-like environment similar to the lunar surface.

But in the face of the shrine, their speed was not only insufficient, but their power was also far from enough.

The earth-shattering thunder easily shattered the starlight; how could those specks of starlight illuminate the world?

Hachi quickly retreated, manipulating the arrangement of the stars to create new constellations as he withdrew, continuing his relentless attack. Even if he couldn't defeat the Shinigami, he wanted to at least delay him.
