Everyone here, whether it is Tengen himself, Riko, or Yuki Kujuku and Miss Kuroi, they have all been tortured by the so-called [Astral Plasma] incident until now.

Whether it is the person who is merging or the person who is being merged, it is a very painful process for both parties.

At this moment, Riko felt Tianyuan's warm and soft embrace, and she felt as if she was back in her mother's arms. An indescribable feeling of grievance came over her. For so many years, she had no idea what the feelings hidden deep in her heart were.

Is it the honor of being cultivated as astral plasma?

Or is it the sadness of being treated as a fusion?

Is it the hope of living a life that belongs to the name [Tenno Riko]?

Or is it the fear of being bound by the title of "Lord Tianyuan"?

Was it the joy you felt when Chanyuan Qing first told you to live under your name?

Or was it the slight joy he felt when he saw Miss Kuroi feeling sad and painful because of his departure?

So many things, so many emotions.

At this moment, all of these things turned into indescribable tear marks, sliding down Riko's face.

But Riko didn't cry out loud. She was just held in Tianyuan's arms, sobbing softly, as if a wronged child was crying to her mother.

All the emotions, all the grievances, all the unspeakable pain, turned into silent tears and suppressed sobs. Riko's fingers tightly grasped the fabric of Tianyuan's back, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if she wanted to hold on to this belated understanding and comfort tightly and never let go.

Misato Kuroi stood aside, her face already in tears.

At this moment, Hei Jing's heart was already filled with mixed emotions.

Kuroi didn't know what this feeling was, perhaps a mixture of heartache and relief... but more than that, it was the emotion he felt towards Tianyuan's guilt, and the joy that Riko could be completely liberated at this moment.

Looking at Riko crying in Tianyuan's arms, Kuroi stretched out his hand slightly, as if wanting to comfort Riko, but the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air at this moment. In the end, he just wiped his tears silently and forcefully, with his shoulders slightly shaking.

At this moment, Kujuku Yuki was standing quietly beside the few people. The sea breeze blew her golden hair, slightly obscuring her vision.

Looking at the two people hugging and crying in front of her, her heart was extremely complicated.

As a former "alternative astral plasma body", she understood the emotions that Riko was expressing at this moment better than anyone else.

She looked at Tianyuan's calm face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and saw the pain and tenderness that was almost like redemption revealed in his tight embrace of Riko.

To be honest, Jiujiu Yuki felt that the scene before her had almost completely overturned her long-held cold and disgusting perception of "assimilation".

Especially after learning about Zenin Qing's speculation about the [Astral Plasma], Jiujiu Yuki changed his opinion of Tengen even more.

Tianyuan was not what he had imagined in his mind at the beginning. He was not a vicious person who created so much [Astral Plasma] for himself to devour in order to keep his own body immortal.

After Zenin Qing told the two that the so-called [Astral Plasma] actually came from the curse of the cursed spirit, Jiujiu Yuki already knew that the so-called almighty Lord Tianyuan was, to put it bluntly, just a poor man trapped in the underground barrier of the high school.

The so-called pursuit of eternal life is essentially nothing more than a tragic and twisted fate under a curse.

Looking at Tengen and Riko hugging each other in front of him, Kujukuyuki knew that this was a resonance that was almost like cuddling each other, obtained by two souls cruelly bound by fate after resolving all misunderstandings.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Tianyuan's voice was a little choked. She repeated it over and over again, her palm gently stroking Riko's soft head, as if she wanted to convey all her guilt and pain for thousands of years through this simple action.

Her tears slid down silently, dripping into Riko's hair, mixing with the girl's tears, making it impossible to tell one from the other.

The actions of Tianyuan and others naturally did not escape everyone's sight, but everyone stood there tacitly and did not choose to disturb them.

For those who have never experienced the fate of the [Astral Plasma], trying to understand those things is really too abrupt.

Zenin Qing was floating on the sea at this moment, looking at Tianyuan and Riko who were hugging each other, with a faint smile on his face.

Many times, even if both parties do not have any malicious intent, because they have never told each other their true feelings, all kinds of distorted emotions will emerge in the long process of transmission.

He sighed slightly. Isn't this the case for most people in this world?

Zenin Qing didn't say anything, but continued to learn swimming with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru behind him.

After there were fewer people on the beach, Chanyuan Qing also felt much better. Although the weather was still a bit hot, at least he no longer felt that stuffy feeling.

However... when his body was completely immersed in the sea water, Chanyuan Qing suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Have I ever felt so upset about such a small thing before?

Something is wrong...something is wrong!

An indescribable strange feeling came into his mind, making Chanyuan Qing feel that his head was starting to hurt a little.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, so fast that even Chanyuan Qing himself felt that it was just an illusion.

But Zenyuan Qing has never been a careless person. He would never just pretend that nothing had happened regarding this strange feeling coming from his body.

But just as Chanyuan Qing was about to carefully examine his body, an unknown force came and once again suppressed the thought that had just arisen in his mind.

Gojo Satoru's urging voice came from beside him. Zenyuan Qing raised his head and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something just now.

Chapter 251 The Full Moon

Today is my sixth night in Okinawa, and it happens to be a full moon.

According to past practice, today should actually be the day when Riko is merged into Tengen.

But this time it was different. Not only Riko appeared here, but also Zenin Kiyoshi and Kujuku Yuki.

Tianyuan was kneeling opposite several people at this moment. She was wearing a blue kimono and her face looked a little solemn.

"This is the most secret place of the Panxing Cult. It is a secret room that even the previous leaders cannot enter. Only I know how to unlock this spell. If outsiders force their way in, we will be transported away in an instant by the spell, and everything here will be automatically destroyed."

Listening to Tianyuan's words, Chanyuan Qing nodded, and then he carefully observed the surrounding environment. There were indeed layers of barrier spells surrounding him. Even with his strength, it would probably take a lot of time to break into such a place.

Seeing that Chanyuan Qing didn't say anything, Tianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. She had developed this habit a long time ago. Whenever it was an important matter, she would mention it in front of Chanyuan Qing intentionally or unintentionally to avoid any problems.

She raised her head and looked at Chanyuan Qing who had a calm expression on his face, then said slowly:

"If there are no problems, we can begin this ritual now... Xiaoqing, are you really sure you can eliminate all of this right now?"

There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Tianyuan's words, and there was a faint mist in her eyes as she looked at Riko.

During these few days of getting along, Tianyuan's love for Riko once again reached another level.

It can be said that in Tianyuan's eyes, Riko is now basically no different from her biological daughter.

Zenin Qing naturally understood Tianyuan's worries. He looked at Tianyuan and Lizi and said softly, "

"Don't worry, Master Tianyuan. Although I'm not 100% sure that I can completely break this curse, if I just want to protect Riko and you, it's still within my ability."

When he said this, Zenin Kiyoshi turned his gaze towards Riko, his eyes filled with tenderness and inspiring power:

"Riko, believe me, after tonight, you are no longer an astral body, you will only be Tenchu ​​Riko from now on.

Unlike the Star Plasma, Riko has the right to choose, the right to cry and laugh, the right to make Miss Kuroi and I worry about you... Of course, Riko also has the right to not listen well in class and be punished by the teacher to copy after class."

When he said this, the smile on Zenin Qing's face became even more intense. He looked at Riko. Riko's mood at this moment also became less nervous under Zenin Qing's teasing. She even muttered softly about Zenin Qing's previous teasing:

"It's not that I wasn't paying attention! I was just thinking about something else at the time! If I were to come back again, I'd definitely be able to figure that one out."

Listening to Riko's mumbling, a faint smile appeared on Zenin Kiyoshi's face. Then he met Riko's gaze and nodded vigorously.

After seeing Zenin Kiyoshi's gaze, Riko's eyes turned red again. She turned her face to the side, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

Damn it, I’m already in the second grade of junior high school, why am I still so easily moved to tears!

It's all Xiaoqing's fault. Why does he treat me so gently...

Just as Riko was thinking, Tianyuan also looked at Zenin Qing.

After listening to Chanyuan Qing's words, the uneasiness and anxiety in Tianyuan's eyes faded a lot.

Chanyuan Qing's extremely infectious words seemed to eliminate most of the troubles.

Tianyuan took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on Chanyuan Qing's, and then she said in a gentle but firm voice:

"Let's get started. When it comes to the specific steps, Xiaoqing, just tell me directly. I won't have any doubts or hesitations about you."

Listening to Tianyuan's words that seemed to indicate that he was going to give up everything, Riko clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, even turning white from the excessive force.

As for the future tonight, Riko knew that there were still too many uncertainties in it, and she didn't know whether she could escape from the fate of that [Astral Plasma], but Riko was not afraid or regretful.

It doesn't matter even if she dies here, because in her short life, there are so many people who are willing to do this for her!

At this time, Jiujiu Yuki looked at Zenin Qing, and there was still some worry in her eyes.

The reason is simple. Chanyuan Qing's plan is too bold, even to the point of being crazy.

Even after confirming again and again that there would be no problem, Kujuyuki still felt a little uneasy.

However, looking at Chanyuan Qing's expression at the moment and listening to Chanyuan Qing's words full of determination and confidence, the last trace of doubt in her heart was forcibly suppressed.

It has come to this point, any hesitation or distrust may result in the death of Tengen and Riko.

Looking at the three people in front of him who had already entered the state, Chanyuan Qing said softly:

"Don't be nervous, Riko, just close your eyes and think about anything you want, even if you fall asleep. Lord Tianyuan, please outline the general model of the entire national boundary in your mind. The more detailed the better.

Miss Jiujiu, hold my hand and don't resist the curse power flowing through your body. Just follow my curse power and go with it."

After listening to Chanyuan Qing's arrangements for themselves and others, everyone nodded.

"Let's get started, Xiaoqing."

Tianyuan's voice returned to its former calmness, but beneath that calmness was an almost desperate trust in Chanyuan Qing.

She slowly raised her hands and began to mobilize the power of the ancient barrier that covered the entire secret room. The dark blue light of the spell spread around her like water waves.

Looking at this scene, Riko closed her eyes slightly. She was very confused at the moment, but she tried her best to do what Zenin Qing said.

At the same time, Zenin Qing also pulled Jiujiu Yuki's hand. The other person's hand was a little cold and stiff at the moment, and the palm was even a little slippery due to sweating.

"Ahem, it was so hot on the way here, it's normal to sweat a little..."

Jiujiu Yuki's face turned a little red, he turned his head away and explained awkwardly.
