I'm really not an old sword

Ashiya Doman pondered for a moment and said, "She is mine..."

Hongye's eyes just lit up when she heard Lin Qingsu say, "How about I write a letter to Minamoto no Raikou and tell her not to return to the capital?"

Hongye felt a chill in her heart and her body couldn't help but tremble.

How lustful is this man to be able to come up with such conditions?

Hongye suddenly became scared.

She was afraid that this man would be like the one in the bathroom that night, that everything before was just a disguise, and today he would completely rip off his disguise, revealing his true face, and vent all the 'humiliation' he suffered from Tamamonomae on her...

Hongye had never wanted to leave so badly before. She didn't want to see her dream shattered, even if it was just an unrealistic and beautiful thought...

She could only look at Ashiya Doman, hoping that he would keep his promise and set her free.

Ashiya Michimitsu pondered and shook his head: "There is no rush for Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Fujiwara no Akimitsu is just a pawn of mine. Even if Minamoto no Yorimitsu returns to Kyoto, it will be useful to me."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hongye and said, "You owe me a favor."

Hongye's face was extremely pale.

......

Early the next morning, Ashiya Doman was at his secret residence in Heian-kyo.

The Snow Girl stood beside her coldly.

He acted as a guard, and his eyes only softened when they passed over the figure of Ashiya Doman.

Ashiya Doman was sitting in the yard, drinking tea.

Suddenly, a small white dot appeared in the sky and gradually grew larger. The Tengu flapped its wings and landed in the yard.

"Mission accomplished," Tengu said. "We intercepted the person Lin Qingsu sent to deliver a letter to Minamoto no Raikou. He was controlled by an eye demon and had only a letter on him. The letter told her to change her plan and follow the main force back to the capital. There was no superstition or code words in it."

"No secret envoy has been found either."

After that, Tengu asked, "Will the subsequent operations continue?"

"Of course."

"I don't believe him." Tengu frowned. "Even if there's no Minamoto no Raikou, if Tamamonomae helps him..."

"impossible."

Seeing Tengu's worried look, Ashiya Doman smiled confidently and said, "If Tamamonomae wants to make a profit, the prerequisite is that this country will be in chaos."

"Even if Lin Qingsu is lying to us, she still has a backup plan, but Tamamonomae definitely won't."

"She can't possibly help him. At least, as long as Lin Qingsu is in Fujiwara no Michigami's camp, she won't be able to help him. Otherwise, she won't get any benefits other than the body of that man who, in her eyes, is as weak as an ant."

"Do you think she would give up her own practical interests for a man?"

Tengu nodded when he heard this and asked, "When will we act?"

"No rush." Ashiya Doman said with a smile, "Wait until Minamoto no Raikou and her troops are on their way back to Kyoto."

......

A few days later, at Mino no Kami's residence.

"Lord General."

Watanabe Tsuna walked quickly into the mansion and handed the letter to Minamoto no Raikou: "This is a letter from the capital."

Finally, he said, "The messenger didn't bring any message. I checked his body and found no secret code or letter."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded slightly, took the letter, opened it and glanced at it quickly, but in his heart he thought of what he said when he parted with Lin Qingsu.

"If I or Fujiwara no Michinaga write to you when you are about to return to the capital, no matter what the letter is, return to the capital secretly before the due date."

"Nothing." Minamoto no Raikou put away the letter and asked, "How are the preparations going?"

"We can set off in three days."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded indifferently, and when Watanabe Tsuna left, she suddenly clutched her chest tightly.

"My child..."

With her head lowered, unable to see the ground, her gaze was hot and confused, and her breathing became scorching.

He was also urging himself, looking forward to the meeting.

It’s almost time, we will meet soon, and from now on, we will never have to be separated again.

"Mom will be back soon."

Get rid of all those guys who hurt you and the vixen who seduced you...

"Kill them all!"

Chapter 38: The Frightened Snow Girl

A few days ago, the underground spiritual vein of Heian-kyo capital.

White steam rises from the hot spring that occupies most of the underground cave, and the entire cave is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Lin Qingsu and Tamamonomae stood on the shore, looking at the red leaves on the ground.

Lin Qingsu's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it really that serious?"

This place is isolated from all perception, and only here can the Command Seal left on Momiji be removed without being noticed by Ashiya Doman.

Lin Qingsu simply handed the red leaves directly to Tamamonomae.

I'll deal with the matters with Ashiya Michiman and Minamoto no Raikou first, and wait until he gets here...

Hongye had a black blindfold on her eyes, her ears were blocked, and her body was tied tightly with ropes.

Lying on the ground motionless, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

The little face exposed was full of anxiety.

"Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Tamamonomae narrowed her eyes dangerously and said word by word, "Lin Qingsu, you must know that it was because you begged me that I agreed to let her come here."

"If Ashiya Doman knew about this place..."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Lin Qingsu sighed: "Then let's start now?"

Tamamonomae was obviously not satisfied with his perfunctory attitude and kept insisting, "Calling you Teddy is a compliment. You lose your mind when you see a beautiful woman."

"You are also a woman." Lin Qingsu said.

Tamamonomae was silent for a while, then she snorted coldly and waved her hand.

A gust of wind blew, and all the restraints and blindfolds on Hongye were untied.

"Um..."

Hongye endured the dizziness and opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry.

After a long while, Hongye's vision refocused and she saw the scene in front of her.

It was an extremely distant, pitch-black stone roof, and one could still hear the sound of water drops accumulating on the top of the rock and falling onto the ground and into the water.

Hongye leaned on the ground, the ground beneath her was hard stone, and next to her was a large underground hot spring. She turned her head...

Seeing Lin Qingsu standing in front of her unharmed, Hongye was delighted at first, but then she saw Tamamonomae with a cold face beside him, and suddenly thought of something. A look of horror immediately appeared on her delicate little face.

"W-What do you want to do?!"

Her little hands tightly hugged her body as she staggered backward.

Although it was a question, she already knew what they wanted to do.

They wanted to lock me up in this dark underground hot spring, treating me like a pet. If they went too far, they might even beat, scold, and torture me, venting their accumulated frustrations with society...

The more Hongye thought about it, the more desperate she became. But looking at the fox, she couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

Seeing Hongye's frightened expression, Tamamonomae frowned slightly. Even though she was very familiar with human nature, she couldn't figure out why she was so scared, so she turned to look at Lin Qingsu.

Lin Qingsu wanted to go over to her and comfort her, but Hongye saw him coming and waved her hands in panic.

"Don't come here!"

In the end, she actually strangled her own neck with her slender little hands.

"?"

Lin Qingsu turned her head and looked at Tamamonomae inquiringly.

Tamamonomae shrugged.

"I don't know either. Don't ask me."

Lin Qingsu turned her head and looked at Hongye who was looking at her as if she were a class enemy.

He began to doubt whether she was real or fake these days.

I wouldn't say she's in love with me, but after a while of getting to know her...I think she should like me, right? Even if she doesn't like me, she should have some feelings for me.

It shouldn't be.

For the first time, Lin Qingsu doubted her own charm and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her reflection in the lake.

Well, still so handsome.

"Hongye, relax." Lin Qingsu gave a French military salute: "We have no ill will towards you."

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Noticing that Hongye was not mentally stable, Lin Qingsu looked at Tamamonomae again.

Tamamonomae curled her lips, and Lin Qingsu stretched out a finger, and Tamamonomae nodded reluctantly.

A weak and thin stream of water emerged from the hot spring, turning into several thin lines, spreading along the ground towards Hongye. When it reached her, it suddenly jumped up and turned into four ropes that bound her limbs and held her in the air in the shape of a "big" character.

Hongye screamed, and all the demonic power in her body suddenly burst out, breaking through Tamamonomae's spell for a moment.

Then, she did not fight back, but raised her little hand that was flashing with cold light and grabbed directly at her own chest.

Just as the 'claw' flashing with cold light was about to pierce the chest.

Lin Qingsu rushed to her, grabbed her wrist, and at the same time reached out with her other hand to push her shoulder.

‘Poof! ’

Hongye's eyes were spinning and her back hit the hard and wet ground.

She had no time to feel the pain. Feeling the weight pressing on her abdomen and the man's hands holding her wrists, she looked at the stone ceiling in despair.

It's over. I'm going to be trained and raised, and turned into a shameless hot weapon.

"Are you crazy?" Lin Qingsu asked angrily.

Hongye closed her eyes and tears flowed out.

Why should I respond to the call? If I just stay in Valhalla honestly, won’t nothing happen?

Why am I so unlucky? Not only did I have bad luck during my lifetime, but after death I also encountered an unscrupulous master, and the one who seduced me was a pervert with a beastly heart?

I just want to live a peaceful and undisturbed life with my beloved, why...

Lin Qingsu was speechless. His ability only allowed him to sense other people's emotions, but he couldn't understand the reasons behind their emotions.

Now he could only feel despair, pain, regret, excitement and anticipation in Hongye's heart.

Yes, human emotions are very complex. He could vaguely guess what the excitement and anticipation were, but the first three...

Sorry, he really doesn't understand.

Seeing Hongye's attitude of "no communication", Lin Qingsu looked at Tamamonomae.

"let's start."

"You have to get her to open up first."
