I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

Yuka Ikeda cursed, "You have such a twisted sense of humor."

Feng Zejian stopped joking.

"Regarding Yanase Tomomi's belongings, I would mail them to her along with my travel bag before I went to my next destination. They're still at the station. But they're closed now. If you're in a hurry, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Saya Yanase shook her head: "Let's do it now, the car is already waiting outside."

She has now returned to her original cold demeanor, and Feng Zejian even thinks that her pitiful appearance just now was an act.

"If you have a way to open a delivery station that's already closed, can I bring my best friend Yuka Ikeda along?"

"Ah."

The three left the private room and went downstairs to the extended Rolls-Royce.

After that, hundreds of bodyguards were stationed within a few hundred meters of the courier station, and Feng Zejian searched the courier station alone.

"I'm saying, there are so many packages, and I'm the only one looking for them. It's one thing if you two don't help me, but at least have your group of bodyguards come in and help us out."

Yanase Saya explained softly:

"This matter involves a lot of issues, so I can only ask you to do the work."

Feng Zejian gave a thumbs up.

I continued searching.

Finally, Feng Zejian found his backpack among a pile of leftover packages.

I tore open the packaging bag and looked at the familiar travel bag.

Feng Zejian breathed a sigh of relief.

"found it."

Saya Yanase quickly stepped forward and watched as Kazesawa unzipped his jacket.

I rummaged through a pile of travel props and found a Kagura bell, a finger bone, and half an old, yellowed book.

When she finally saw her grandmother's belongings, Yanase Saya broke down in tears once again.

Kazema first presented the finger bone to Yanase Saya with both hands.

Saya Yanase held her to her chest.

"Thank you, really thank you."

"I'm returning the item to you. Let's call it a day."

Suddenly, Yanase Saya's expression turned serious.

"No."

Feng Zejian took a step back.

"I meant well. You didn't have to kill me to silence me."

Saya Yanase burst out laughing.

“I didn’t say I was going to kill you. You are now a soul-sending person, and you must witness Grandma’s soul returning to the shrine. Ikeda is also half a soul-sending person, so she has to go too. I guarantee with my life that you will all be safe and sound.”

"I'm going back to the shrine to tell Grandpa about this, and you all come with me."

Kazesawa and Ikeda Yuka shrugged in unison.

The three got into the car, and it drove off towards Fuji Shrine.

Fuji Shrine is located on a mountaintop in the suburbs. Although it is in the suburbs and on a mountain, it is the most popular place of worship in all of Tokyo.

On the train, Yanase Saya tightly clutched the exquisite box containing her grandmother's belongings, overwhelmed with emotion.

Before confirming the authenticity of the incident, Yanase Saya did not make a fuss, for fear of disappointing the other people at the shrine.

The three got off the car at a section of stone steps and began hiking.

The night view here is absolutely stunning, and the cool evening breeze is soothing and refreshing.

It could be a psychological suggestion, or it could be real, but Feng Zejian felt that the air here was very good. Taking a breath not only made him feel energetic, but also made him feel exceptionally comfortable.

Saya Yanase walked quickly, not wanting to waste a single moment.

Yanase Sayasue walked from the shrine's courtyard into the main hall, then from the main hall to the inner chamber, and pushed open the door to the shrine's inner chamber.

His grandfather, Yutaka Yanase, was meditating in front of the shrine.

Yanase Yutaka is 1.8 meters tall. Judging from the outline of his clothes, he has a broad back and extremely well-developed muscles. He is an exceptionally burly man dressed in a black male priest's robe.

“Sayamo, you should know that you have broken the rules.”

Yanase Saya burst into tears.

"Grandpa, Grandma is back."

Chapter Twenty: Status is Not an Excuse

Yanase Yutaka paused for a moment, then stood up and turned around, revealing his resolute, square face. There was a very obvious scar on his right cheek, and his left eyebrow was also replaced by a scar. His hair was gray, and his features were very imposing.

While crying, Yanase Saya approached Yanase Yutaka and handed him the box.

Yanase Yutaka opened the box with trembling hands, staring at its contents in silence for a long time.

He never imagined that his lover, who had been missing for half a century because of that incident, would be found and brought back to him.

The enormous hand gently picked up the white, jade-like finger bone.

Even that tough-guy face was wet with tears.

"Welcome home, Chimi."

In just a moment, Yanase Yutaka composed himself.

"Granddaughter, arrange for the mountain to be closed for three days. The soul-sending ceremony will be held tomorrow at noon. By the way, can we find the person who will send off the soul?"

"He's outside."

"Take me to see him."

Yanase Saya called the two, who were admiring the scenery in the courtyard, into the main hall of the shrine.

The two of them sighed in admiration at the magnificent hall.

Yanase Yutaka changed into casual clothes and appeared in front of the three.

Yanase Yutaka quickly recognized Kazesawa Masaru as the soul-sending person after a brief glance.

"You're the one who delivers the soul, aren't you?"

"Probably so."

"Where did you find my wife's belongings?"

Feng Zejian scratched his head.

"Near Wulang Mountain, but I really don't know exactly where. I've already buried the senior's remains, but I don't know where they are buried either."

Yanase Yutaka shook his head: "Knowing the general location is enough. Due to my status, I cannot kneel before you. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply, and Yanase Sayamo also bowed deeply beside her.

A gentle breeze brushed his face, and Fengze saw a beautiful woman dressed in a blue and white shrine maiden's outfit bowing to him.

Kazesawa knew that this was the soul of Yanase Tomomi.

Perhaps it was the power of the shrine's prayers that gave her soul a physical form.

Kazema bowed deeply to the soul of Yanase Tomomi, then felt that bowing was inappropriate and knelt down.

“Senior, you saved my life and showed me the way. I only took you home. Your kindness is greater. Bowing is not appropriate. I will kowtow to you.”

Feng Zejian knelt down, and an invisible force lifted him up.

Although Yuka Ikeda couldn't see it, she did witness the strange sight of Kazesawa being helped up from his knees.

Of course, it wasn't completely invisible; Yuka Ikeda's outline could be vaguely seen.

Yanase Yutaka could sense that his wife had returned, but he would have to wait until the soul-sending ceremony was over before he could see her. Right now, only Kazesawa, the protector, could see her.

Yanase Yutaka heard Yanase Tomomi's voice in his ear.

“Feng Jun, this young man is excellent in every way, but his private life is a bit messy. He likes to play with women’s bodies and feelings, and he is very skilled at it. He has almost never failed to get the target he sets his sights on. Although I am very grateful to him, for the safety of my granddaughter, let’s keep our granddaughter away from him.”

Saya Yanase's pretty face flushed red, and Kazesawa was extremely embarrassed. Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Tomomi Yanase and Yutaka Yanase were whispering to each other with their microphones on.

Everyone except Yuka Ikeda heard it.

"Your assessment is indeed very accurate, but could you please say these things after I've left? It's quite awkward."

Tomomi Yanase was somewhat surprised. "Really?"

Seeing her granddaughter's pretty face turn red, she realized that she had turned on all the microphones.

“Grandma, my body and soul have been dedicated to the shrine, so the situation you described will not occur.”

"hope so."

To be honest, it feels really uncomfortable to have your underwear exposed.

Feng Zejian also fits the description.

"It's just making friends. I won't do anything to Saya-san, nor will I have such thoughts. After all, the difference in our status is too great."

Tomomi Yanase retorted:

“Feng Jun was just an ordinary person at the beginning. Status is not an excuse. What I’m talking about is your irresponsibility in dealing with relationships.”

Feng Zejian offered no explanation.

As Yanase Tomomi watched Kazesawa Makoto grow up, she had long regarded him as her junior, and she did not want him to go astray.

Yutaka Yanase intervened:

"Alright, let's leave that aside for now. Granddaughter, please arrange rooms for the two guests."

"Yes."

Yanase Saya responded and looked at the two of them.

"You two, please come with me."

After settling the two of them in, Yanase Saya returned to her own room.

So many things have changed today.

In the cabinet, Yanase Yutaka and Yanase Tomomi were sharing their heartfelt feelings from the past years.

The ancestral spirit lamps enshrined in the shrine shone exceptionally brightly tonight.

Kazema, wearing his pajamas, went to visit Yuka Ikeda's room.

Yuka Ikeda sighed at what had happened that day.

"Today feels like a dream. I only found out Saya's identity today, and this is inside Fuji Shrine. It's the first time I've ever spent the night in a shrine. Tomorrow I'll be witnessing that soul-sending ceremony. I'm getting excited just thinking about it."

"I've seen enough of the world, it's about time to go back to sleep, goodnight."

"OK, good night."

The next day, there was quite a commotion outside the shrine, but Kazesawa continued to sleep alone.

"Wake up."

Yuka Ikeda's fair and warm hands patted Kazesawa's face.

As the patting continued, Feng Zejian gradually opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

"Nothing much, time to get up, it's lively outside."

Kazema looked at Ikeda Yuka with a blank expression.

"That's it?"

"if not."

Feng Zejian closed his eyes again.
