Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Lin Qiye, who overheard the entire process: "..."

Pfft hahaha...

The "body-keeping team"... should be the guards, right?

They were wiped out by their own people...

Whose brat is this? He's asking for it!

But what kind of family did they just say they were from?

Gojo family?

this……

It must be because their surnames are the same, right?

Lin Qiye suddenly became somewhat uncertain.

As the instigator, Shen Qingzhu felt quite uneasy sitting there and couldn't help but look for something to distract herself.

Suddenly, Shen Qingzhu sensed someone staring at him. He immediately looked towards the most prominent cherry blossom tree in the courtyard—

A black-haired boy was sitting cross-legged in the tree. His exceptionally handsome features were the kind that would definitely appeal to women.

But when the boy stared at him intently, his eyes didn't seem to be looking at a stranger; rather, there was a hint of mockery in them.

Lin Qiye was still whispering to Shen Qingzhu about the gossip they had learned from Han Chuanche when he saw Shen Qingzhu's actions and followed his gaze, and was immediately stunned.

"Who is that?"

Shen Qingzhu: "I don't know."

Both he and Lin Qiye were exceptionally sensitive to changes in their surroundings, yet they had no idea when the boy had appeared there.

Lin Qiye's eyes darkened.

Today's banquet feels like a trap...

Han Chuanche suddenly leaned closer, his eyes filled with sorrow: "He's the one who's by the heir's side... He looks like that... We probably don't have a chance..."

Shen Qingzhu looked at Lin Qiye with a strange expression: "So, there are actually some among you who are genuinely interested in this marriage alliance?"

Lin Qiye waved his hands frantically: "We just met! We've only known each other for an hour or two!!"

Before he could speak, he saw the boy stand up from the tree, leap down, and land on the ground among the elders who were arguing about how to deal with the problems left behind by the Black Kill Group.

A familiar face, so familiar it made their teeth itch, suddenly appeared before the elders, nearly sending them to the hospital in fright like the old bones of the Zen monastery: "...You!! When did you get here?!

The boy tilted his head and smiled, seemingly just joking, but his expression showed no sign of joking: "You guys go ahead..."

Lin Qiye frowned inexplicably as he looked at the boy's expression.

That gesture and expression...

Why does this feel so familiar, it's suffocating...?

"...This is utterly unreasonable!!"

Hearing the elder's words, the young man retorted with a laugh: "Then why did you tell her that this social gathering you arranged was to celebrate your birthday?"

He said, "Whose elderly person's birthday is at 10 pm this late at night?"

So that's where they were waiting for them...

The elder stubbornly insisted, "This... today is my birthday... is there a problem?"

The boy was about to speak when he heard a familiar, clear bell ringing behind them.

Everyone stopped arguing and looked towards the doorway to the inner room—

A white-haired girl dressed in a flowing robe stepped into the courtyard.

As her long hair flew in the wind, the golden bell tied to her right ear jingled softly. Even the cherry tree seemed to favor its goddess, dropping delicate petals that sprinkled onto the girl's white-bound eyelids, as if giving them a light kiss.

The furisode was also pure white, embroidered with blue and white patterns, but even such an exquisite and beautiful design still lost its luster when worn by a young girl.

Han Chuanche, standing beside Lin Qiye, was still stunned, forgetting that he still had a sorrowful expression on his face and hadn't had time to change his expression.

"Sir, I've been looking for you for ages... Why did you come early?"

When the familiar voice rang in Lin Qiye and the others' ears, the two boys sitting on the lower side stood up at the same time.

Lu Yu walked over without knowing anything, but with the information input from Liu Yan, he quickly discovered that something was wrong.

She paused, then turned around—

"...So...it must be Princess Kaguya being reincarnated..."

At this moment, even the other guests present, who had always believed in the gods, couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"But those eyes... it's a pity they're incomplete..."

Someone muttered something under their breath, only to see three boys nearby glaring at them simultaneously.

The person: "???"

Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu also looked at Han Chuanche, who was moving in unison with them, with a puzzled expression: "...You..."

Han Chuanche was furious: "How could he say such a thing about that young lady! It's outrageous!!"

Lin Qiye & Shen Qingzhu: "..."

I don't know why, but it gives me the feeling that a pig is about to pounce on a cabbage.

"...Seven Nights! Arrogant Bro!!!"

The girl indeed spotted them, and almost simultaneously with her exclamation, the white-clad goddess on the platform leaped up without hesitation, landing in front of her captain—

Lin Qiye sighed helplessly and subconsciously reached out to catch her, but Shen Qingzhu, who was closest to him, was a step faster. She skillfully raised her hand and gently lifted the girl, catching her as she flew towards him like a kite.

As she moved, the white silk covering the girl's eyes loosened and slid down, flying away.

Lu Yu was still immersed in the joy of reunion. He opened his eyes, which seemed otherworldly, and looked at his two teammates, instinctively drawing out his words, "I really missed you guys so much!! Really, really!!!"

The two boys were stunned, staring blankly into her eyes at the same time.

"...Your eyes...have recovered..."

Lin Qiye's voice was a little hoarse, but he couldn't hide his joy.

Lu Yu then realized what was happening and nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

Shen Qingzhu put her down, looked Lu Yu up and down several times, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, I'm not missing any limbs, but something just feels off...

Lin Qiye was the first to react: "...Lu Yu, have you... gotten shorter?"

Lu Yu: "..."

Captain, there's no need to rub salt in the wound right from the start, okay?!

Lu Yu's eyes darted around: "Huh? No way! How could that be? It's impossible!"

Lin Qiye squinted: "...Heh."

The three people there were chatting animatedly, oblivious to everyone else around them, unaware of the profound impact they were having on the others present.

The Black Killers, Ken Asakura, had a truly fulfilling and exciting day.

My mood was really up and down.

Just when he thought the team leader was about to embark on another path from which there was no turning back, the team leader turned the tables and gave him a huge surprise.

Ha, really, you're just scaring yourself.

But the situation was quite different with the five elders on the other side—

"...Waaaaah...That's great! The young lady is finally not just looking at this brat anymore!"

"Waaaah... Miss has finally found a new love..."

"This is wonderful... wonderful, to live to see this day..."

The speaker's gaze silently fell on the few disrespectful old men, who immediately froze.

The boy spoke coldly, "Do you know what those two do?"

The elders were all puzzled.

They weren't responsible for screening people; they just said they'd take anyone as long as they were good-looking. How were they supposed to know what these people did for a living?

The speaker laughed, but it was a chilling laugh: "The one on the right is the leader of the Black Killing Group, a ruthless gang leader who kills without blinking an eye. Oh, and he's also the leader of these men in black today."

"As for the one on the left wearing a black yukata... he's currently Japan's most popular rising star in the host club industry..."

The boy's smile was like a black dahlia, seemingly about to burst forth and stab someone at any moment.

"...Do you old fogies even know what a male escort is? If you don't, that's fine too. How about checking out the top male escort in Kabukicho?"

The elders: "!!!"

What? ? ?

A male prostitute?

"How could you do this?! No, Miss..."

At this moment, as if in a final burst of energy, the Grand Elder roared out the loudest sound he had ever uttered:

"Quick! Go and fetch the head of the family! The young lady is eloping with the gigolo!!!"

---------

We're reunited!

Little deer, the five scumbag cats, known as "Heartbroken Father-in-Law," are about to arrive on the battlefield! Hehehehehe~~~
