Type Moon World, this moon is really wild

Yinglin would show her anything that was modern and suitable for summer.

Yinglin only ended the game for the day when the girl herself was exhausted.

They didn't even play any games before Fujiwara Kaori couldn't take it anymore.

This was both the happiest day and the most tiring day for Xiangzi, but she had no regrets.

Lying in her lover's arms, Fujiwara Kaori murmured after getting a moment's rest.

"My lord, let me serve you from now on."

"You should rest first."

"No, this is a wife's duty. Besides, I still have some strength, and I can gradually fall asleep in your love."

Did you fall asleep while weeding in Egypt?

That's a bit too direct; Xiangzi has always been rather reserved.

Yinglin naturally did not refuse and tried his best to fulfill the girl's wish.

This time it took very little time. Xiangzi didn't have much strength to begin with, and after enjoying herself for a while, she really couldn't fight anymore.

After taking care of everything for Fujiwara Kaori, Yinglin then looked for his next target.

Shuten-dōji, Ibaraki-dōji.

These two little devils haven't seen each other for a while.

Of course, Ibaraki wasn't quite a female demon yet; after realizing that Kagerin's power was immense, he remained very well-behaved.

He was unsurprised by Shuten-dōji's various depraved behaviors, and even participated in them.

These two wicked little devils do nothing but eat and sleep all day long.

Shuten-dōji is the most representative example. Just like before she was captured, she fully enjoys the pleasures of the human world.

The worst thing she ever did under Izanami's watchful eye was getting drunk at home.

Now, Yinglin has returned, bringing with him a whole bunch of delicious food.

Shuten-dōji went even further, completely letting himself go.

Even with Ying Lin present, she showed no reaction.

Ibaraki glanced at the purple-haired girl who was slumped over the table, already somewhat drunk, and thought of reminding her by blinking, but Shuten acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued drinking on his own.

"Die like that?"

Yinglin picked up Shuten in one swift motion. Shuten kicked her legs in confusion until the familiar scent filled her nostrils, at which point she calmed down.

However, Shuten still looked at Yinglin with a mournful gaze, as if questioning him.

"what happened?"

"I'm not a child anymore!"

"Oh, I see. Your chocolate..."

Chapter 165 Shuten-dōji: I am the strongest!

"Oh no, that won't do!"

Shuten-dōji's expression changed incredibly quickly. He then sat in Kagerin's lap with a grin, raised his wine-stained fingertips, and placed them near Kagerin's lips, murmuring something.

"How can you be so heartless?"

Upon hearing this, Yinglin glanced around, seemingly weighing how attractive Shuten-dōji's posture was.

After a long while, he muttered a complaint to himself.

"How heartless! Besides, I feel you're not as good as her..."

"Ah, don't do that!"

Realizing that trying to be alluring had no effect, Shuten-dōji became somewhat annoyed. He covered Kagerin's mouth, but then kissed him the instant he released her, his breath filled with the scent of sake.

After all, she had drunk quite a lot, and the aroma of other snacks mingled with it.

"Hiss, so you're playing like this?"

Yinglin didn't stand on ceremony with her and started playing around.

The sudden attack made Shuten-dōji cover his mouth and laugh with a hint of smugness.

"It seems I'm still quite charming."

"You are actually very beautiful as long as you don't speak."

"Haha~ How could that be?"

Shuten-dōji vehemently retorted, and just as she was feeling somewhat annoyed and enjoying herself, Kagerin took out the chocolate cake. The design on it didn't please her; instead, she stared at Kagerin with a sullen expression.

"Ugh, why are you targeting me? Is this appropriate?"

Even Ibaraki-dōji, who was not far away, started laughing.

Despite being bullied every day, this kind of life is actually a good thing for Shuten-dōji.

At least she won't go out and cause trouble, and she has Yinglin protecting her, plus so many delicious foods she likes to eat.

"Alright, alright, here you go, this is the real gift. But as for the impression you gave me, well, let's see how you fared."

Yinglin adopted a similar approach to Metatron, the difference being their respective domains.

For example, Metatron's achievements are based on his battle record against the enemy, while Shuten-dōji's achievements are based on himself.

For example, when Shuten-dōji defeated the invincible Kagerin, Kagerin didn't hold back and added all of them to her list.

One can imagine how she'll proudly boast about her achievements everywhere she goes—

"You don't understand. Look, even Yinglin admits he's not as good as me!"

Yinglin could already imagine such things, and he couldn't help but suppress his laughter.

Shuten didn't care about any of that. She was already a little carried away, smiling brightly as she gazed affectionately at the chocolate cake in front of her.

"That's amazing, Master~"

On the other side, Ibaraki silently raised his thumb.

As expected of its master, he subdued Shuten-dōji with just a few words.

Of course, the owner has a really good attitude; he doesn't care about saving face at all.

Perhaps it was this concession that made Shuten so happy, he was so delighted that he couldn't express it in words and could only show his affection for Yinglin through his actions.

Even though Shuten-dōji was still so bad, Kagerin was still able to enjoy the beauty of being a young girl for a while.

Temptation, like a stunningly beautiful dancer, performed an elegant yet alluring dance, attempting to steal the soul of Ying Lin, the head of the family.

Unfortunately, she couldn't succeed.

Even after so much time had passed, Shuten-dōji's physical strength remained the same. He had lost all his strength under the double pressure and was held in Kagerin's arms like a delicate rag doll.

"Ah, why... even after trying my best, it's still like this?"

Shuten muttered to himself, seemingly not quite believing that Yinglin would not show any sign of defeat in the face of her offensive.

Seriously, sob sob sob.

It's so uncomfortable.

So this cake was just to appease me.

What could Yinglin say in response? He could only smile and stroke her smooth, beautiful back to comfort her.

"I don't care that much about my own reputation; I just hope you can feel better and be happier."

"I also hope that you won't care so much about saving face, but it's still hard for you to change. I won't say much, I'll just support you."

It's unclear whether Shuten-dōji listened or not, but she was completely sleepy and had already quietly lay down.

Next, Yinglin had to help her clean up her body.

After finishing everything, he looked at Ibaraki, who had been waiting for a long time.

The golden-haired, golden-eyed ghost seemed to be eagerly anticipating what kind of cake Ying Lin would give her, and was looking over with longing eyes.

However, more than anticipation, she was still affected by what had just happened and was already feeling it; her eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing this, Yinglin naturally went over to hug her, placed the female ghost in his arms, and teased her nose.

Is there anything you want?

"I?"

Even Ibaraki himself couldn't figure out his own needs.

At first, she hoped that Shuten-dōji could have a better life.

But after Yinglin fulfilled this wish, Ibaraki felt that there was even less he could do.

What I like to see most is Shuten-dōji getting his comeuppance.

Then, it was her turn~

Ibaraki-dōji, who has very few hobbies, was also taken aback by Kagerin's question at this moment.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find a definite solution.

Seeing her like this, Yinglin understood that it was time to find some entertainment for her.

"How about we go swimming in the pool, or I can hold another big summer event sometime later?"

When summer was mentioned, Ibaraki snapped out of his reverie, his eyes brightening as he nodded.

"Okay."

"Okay, if you like it, then let's wait and go play in the pool first."

"Ok!"

Because Ibaraki has so few favorite things, even Kagerin is unsure how to handle him.

Therefore, since the chocolate cake was still a gift for her, Yinglin could only try to find elements related to Shuten-dōji.

The effect wasn't ideal, but it was enough.

On the cake, Ibaraki-dōji saw Shuten-dōji finding her own happiness, and he no longer needed to protect her, allowing him to happily pursue his dreams.

"My dream?"

"Yes, I hope that through it, you can live your true self."

"I see..." Ibaraki-dōji pondered for a moment, then looked up at her master who had always been by her side and murmured.

"Then, I want to go surfing?"

"Sure, I'll play with you no matter what."

No matter what her request was, Yinglin tried his best to fulfill it.

Today, Ibaraki-dōji truly felt good and understood something even more clearly.

Protecting others is indeed very meaningful.

But to say I was particularly happy, there wasn't.

Of course, she will not give up her original ideals.

But now there's one more.

I hope Yinglin can always be with me and help us achieve our own happiness.

Ibaraki-dōji got tired of playing and naturally took a break.

Once they have recovered sufficiently, a major battle will be inevitable.

Yinglin was not afraid at all. He could defeat as many of Ibaraki-like figures as he wanted.

As he expected, Ibaraki had been playing for so long that his stamina wasn't very good. Facing Kagerin, who was always at his peak, he barely managed to achieve a result comparable to Shuten-dōji.

It might look a little embarrassing, but it's actually quite good.
