Type Moon World, this moon is really wild

This was Izanami's first impression of Fujiwara Kaori.

"Fujiwara...Xiangzi."

Ying Lin, who was originally going to refuse, suddenly hesitated at this moment.

If I remember correctly, Fujiwara no Kyoko from the Heian period was likely Murasaki Shikibu's real name.

This is also reflected in Murasaki Shikibu's personal profile, where she is directly referred to as Kaori.

If it were Murasaki Shikibu, then it would be truly amazing.

Yinglin sighed inwardly and began to repent.

You, you.

There are only three years left, how can you be so decadent!

"That's right, she's a girl from the Fujiwara clan, unmarried, and as pure as I am."

Izanami was increasingly unable to hold back; if it weren't for the plan, she would have collapsed long ago.

Why did you agree in the first place?

Damn it.

All of this was for the sake of obtaining Yinglin's life.

wrong!

It's voyeurism!

"Okay, I understand. If I refuse, as you said, she'll come looking for me again in the future."

A question mark appeared above Izanami's head. If you like someone, why be so modest?

"Let's make this decision so that she can find a good home."

Great!

As long as Fujiwara Kaori goes, I will be able to blend in cleverly!

To be honest, Yinglin himself was also a little flustered, but when he saw Izanami's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Is she really that happy?

Yinglin, who was confused, didn't bother to care anymore and asked her a question.

"Do you want to stay?"

"Huh? No, no, let's leave it for now!"

Izanami said shyly, then turned and ran away.

Yinglin was puzzled as to why she was blushing.

"Forget it, I'd better think about how to explain this to Tamamo-no-Mae, Fujiwara no Kaori, Murasaki Shikibu."

It should be quiet.

After returning to your room, you spent time with Ibuki and the others, as usual.

[Shuten listened to your advice carefully and indeed did not retaliate against Ibuki.]

However, there were no large ones, but small ones kept appearing one after another.

In terms of priority, Shuten-dōji is clearly above Ibuki.

Besides them, you also visit Minamoto no Yorimitsu from time to time to encourage her and bring her food.

Although you inevitably received a lap pillow afterward, and she treated you like a child, gently comforting you, you still enjoyed it.

The next day, Minamoto no Yorimitsu somehow learned about Fujiwara no Kaori. Her expression gradually turned slightly crazed, and she actually said goodbye to you today, saying she was going out for a while.

You've thought of many things to say, but only one sentence comes to mind—"I support you."

The girl's will was hard to resist, especially since it was only for a few days.

However, for Minamoto no Yorimitsu's safety, you even asked Izanami to look after her.

[You will arrive at the scene immediately in case of any emergency.]

"It's a grave sin."

Yinglin shook his head, putting the unpleasantness behind him, and helped the newly arrived Fujiwara Kaori adapt to her new environment.

After all, his family's background... to be honest, is quite complicated.

He was the only one who was purely human.

Then there's the pure nine-tailed fox, who is both auspicious and infamous.

But no matter what, it's still a semi-normal mythical beast.

Even though I've heard of her bad reputation, I don't feel particularly panicked.

Ibuki...

That one is even more heavyweight, possessing all sorts of attributes, but anyone with a discerning eye would instinctively mistake her lightning horn for a demon.

Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji don't even need an introduction.

It's a living, breathing ghost!

"Hopefully she doesn't have any objections..."

Yinglin clasped his hands together, praying that Fujiwara Kaori would not be frightened by the ghosts.

However, to his surprise, Fujiwara no Kaori, the talented woman who later became known as Murasaki Shikibu, showed no fear on her face, only intense excitement.

She stood beside Shuten-dōji, who was drinking to relieve his boredom, and pressed him for an answer.

"Are you the infamous demon of Mount Ōe—Shuten-dōji?"

Shuten-dōji, who had been listless, instantly perked up upon hearing this compliment.

"Oh, you recognize me, young lady. It seems my reputation has spread..."

"Then I want to know one thing: why would a powerful demon like you willingly call your master 'father'?"

She didn't just say it; she also took out a brush and, under the increasingly fearful gaze of Shuten-dōji, recorded everything she saw.

"Wait, what are you doing?!"

Shuten-dōji was dumbfounded. How come this woman wasn't afraid of him?

They even dared to record her shameful deeds...

Ahhh, this is a capital offense!

"I'm recording this because I'm so curious about you. How exactly did your master manage to win you over so completely that you haven't even considered resisting?"

More than Shuten-dōji, what Fujiwara no Kaoru really wanted to document was Izanami...

Every time Yinglin was mentioned, her eyes would look very strange.

This led Fujiwara Kaori, who was well-versed in the books, to gradually develop a bold conjecture.

Chapter Forty-Two: The method to subdue the evil spirits is actually...

"How could I possibly say this!"

Shuten-dōji retorted angrily.

But her anger did not stop Fujiwara Kaori from moving forward; instead, she calmly analyzed the situation based on her shy demeanor.

"I see. You think that as the most powerful demon of Mount Ooe, your fearsome reputation has spread throughout the world, and even the land of China has your legend."

"You were so easily made to blush and be taken in by your master through romance, turning you into a weak and vulnerable little ghost."

No matter how much Fujiwara Kaori fantasized, she never imagined how Shuten-dōji would be conquered by Kagerin.

She was attracted by the beautiful young man, but she was also simply no match for Ying Lin!

However, these reasonable approaches do not entirely apply to Shuten-dōji.

As for the land of China, to be precise, she spent some time there before she and Ibuki separated.

Shuten-dōji lowered his head, recalling his memories with Kagerin.

Gentle yet powerful.

"dad……"

"?"

Fujiwara Kaori looked completely confused. What on earth was Shuten-dōji talking about?

dad……

Surely she wasn't referring to—that person?

In an instant, Fujiwara Kaori interpreted it as Shuten-dōji lacking paternal love, and found a safe haven where she could feel safe and warm in Kagerin.

"That's it, I know."

Fujiwara Kaori carefully wrote it down, while Ying Lin, standing beside her, only glanced at it twice, and Shang Yang couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Originally intending to stop him, Shuten-dōji, upon seeing Kagerin, became too lazy to care about Fujiwara Kaoru. He simply pounced on the boy's sturdy chest, gently rubbing his face against it, behaving as obediently as a docile cat, which made Fujiwara Kaoru even more certain of her assumptions.

Excited Fujiwara Kaori, upon realizing that her master, Ying Lin, had arrived, immediately regained her composure, revealing a gentle and calm demeanor, and bowed respectfully to him, saying...

"Lord Lai Lin."

As she spoke, the beautiful woman in a pink kimono with a red base immediately knelt down in front of Ying Lin, placed her delicate, untouched fingers on the soles of the boy's feet, and said softly.

"Please let me help you take off your shoes."

At first, Ying Lin was stunned for a moment, but when he looked into those firm, star-purple eyes, he nodded in agreement.

"please."

"No need to be so polite, it's what I should do."

Although it was Fujiwara Kaori's first time doing these things and it seemed a bit tedious, Yinglin thoroughly enjoyed the cool, smooth touch of her well-maintained fingers and was happy to let her go a little slower.

Looking again, Yinglin suddenly felt that Fujiwara Kaori's face was a little childish, and couldn't help but wonder how her extremely exaggerated body had grown, even the wide kimono could not hide her graceful figure.

It wasn't just a simple matter of taking off her shoes; Fujiwara Kaori also thoughtfully took off Yinglin's coat, placed it in her arms, and slowly lowered it, making sure not to disturb the man who was already her "master" or her husband.

Yinglin has not yet given a clear answer regarding his official status.

The reason...

No matter how precocious someone is, they should at least wait a while before considering it.

Otherwise, they could all be dragged out and shot.

Despite not having much official status, Yinglin was happy to help Fujiwara Kaori.

Not to mention, there was also an introducer, Izanami.

Fujiwara Kaori has nothing to worry about in terms of status.

However, she didn't care about titles and status at all; she only cared about why the evil spirits of Mount Ooe were so obedient to Ying Lin.

After tidying up Yinglin's clothes, she was about to take them to be washed when she was suddenly stopped by a fox-tailed woman who exuded an air of nobility.

In a split second, she knew who the newcomer was.

Izanami had told her that the best thing to do when she met this woman was to submit.

"Oh, could we wash these clothes? You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"How could that be, madam?"

"Husband...ma'am?"

Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "Not bad, you still have a sweet tongue, much better than Izanami."

"Thank you."

"No need to be so polite, just make yourself at home."

"Ok!"
