Chapter 494: Don’t Be Kept in the Dark
A few minutes later, a voice came from mid-air.
"Master! Yoshino!"
Surprisingly, it was Cong Yu who came looking for him.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?!"
Cong Yu flew down from mid-air in a panic, with Cong Yu Wan floating beside him. Cong Yu flew over with him and landed in front of Aize and Fangnai.
However, when Cong Yu appeared, neither Aize nor Asatake Yoshino spoke to each other. They turned their backs to each other, caught in an indescribable silence.
They had already put on their clothes, but still had their backs to each other. One of them was scratching his face, a little embarrassed, while the other was blushing and buried his head deeply in his knees.
"You are finally here, Cong Yu."
Aize stood up and looked at Cong Yu and Cong Yuwan falling from the sky, and actually felt a sense of relief.
"Lord Cong Yu..."
Asatake Yoshino also raised her head, but her face was still red.
"Sorry, I'm late." Cong Yu didn't notice anything unusual between the two of them, and said with some self-blame: "Because you all had close contact with the evil spirit, your bodies were contaminated with filth, and our perception was weakened."
Otherwise, she should have flown down from the mountain when Aize and Asatake Yoshino fell into the water, and directly reached the river to find the two people in the water, so that it wouldn't have dragged on until now.
"Then it's not your fault, no need to apologize." Aize reached out and took the Cong Yu Wan floating beside Cong Yu. While feeling the joy coming from Cong Yu Wan, he comforted the self-blaming Cong Yu, "It's a blessing in disguise that you were able to find us before Chongshen found us."
Without Cong Yuwan in his hand, Aize really can't deal with Chongshen. If he meets him at that time, he can only find a way to escape.
Now that Cong Yuwan was back in his hands, Aize suddenly felt that he was able to recover.
"How was it? Did you meet any gods on the way here?"
Aize asked Cong Yu while holding the knife.
"No, before we found the master and Fang Nai, we didn't encounter any gods." Cong Yu shook his head and said, "They should have been purified, right? It feels like the filth has been reduced a lot."
According to Yoshino Asatake, the evil spirits are not present all the time, but only appear in the mountains at night, and these evil spirits will only form when the filth in the tassels accumulates to a certain level.
Therefore, as long as the filth accumulated to a certain extent, Asatake Yoshino and others would go up the mountain, purify the evil spirit that had taken shape, and defeat it.
Once the evil spirit is conquered, it will not appear again until the filth accumulates to a certain level again.
The appearance of two evil spirits at once tonight was actually a surprise. In the past, when Asatake Yoshinori and others went up the mountain, they would only encounter one evil spirit. It can be seen that there are not too many evil spirits on the mountain, at least at this stage.
Now, the two Chongshen that appeared on the mountain have been killed by Cong Yuwan. There should be no more Chongshen appearing during that period of time.
"Fortunately, they have all been exorcised, otherwise the master and Fang Nori might still encounter the gods here and be in danger."
Cong Yu patted his chest, looking still frightened.
"All right."
Aize nodded. Although he felt a little regretful that he could not take revenge, he did not force it. He loosened his grip on Cong Yuwan a little and stopped fighting.
"Yono?"
At this time, Cong Yu noticed the abnormality of Chaowu Yoshino and asked with some concern.
"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt anywhere? Or did you accidentally hurt yourself after falling into the water and are you sick? Your face looks so red!"
After Cong Yu said this, the awkward atmosphere between Aize and Asahi Yoshino appeared again.
"I, I'm fine, Master Cong Yu."
Asatake Yoshino naturally would not tell the other party what had just happened. She blushed and took a deep breath, trying to cool herself down.
Unfortunately, she took several deep breaths, but instead of cooling down her hot cheeks, she remembered even more embarrassing things.
(Mr. Aize did say that he gave me artificial respiration...)
Thinking of this, Asatake Yoshinori didn't dare to take a deep breath, and her pretty face turned red again.
"Wow! Your face is getting redder and redder! Yoshino!"
Cong Yu didn't know what was going on and just felt that Chaowu Yoshinori was trying to be strong.
"She must have caught a cold, or even had a fever. Master, quickly carry Fang Nai down the mountain. I will immediately notify An Qing and Mo Zi and ask them to bring a doctor over!"
After saying that, Cong Yu flew away in a panic.
"Wait... Lord Cong Yu?!"
When Yoshinori Asatake realized what was happening and wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Cong Yu suddenly disappeared, causing Aize and Chaowu Yoshino to be alone again, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"Ahem..." Aize coughed dryly and said, "Do you need me to carry you?"
“No, no need!” Asatake Yoshino hurriedly shook her head and said, “I’m not sick or injured. I can walk alone!”
"Okay then." Aize naturally wouldn't force the other party, shrugged and said, "I'm not familiar with the terrain in this area either. Since you can walk, that's the best."
As he spoke, Aize made way and motioned for Asatake Yoshinori to walk in front.
However, Yoshino Asatake did not act immediately, but hesitated.
"Please don't tell anyone about what happened just now." Asatake Yoshino couldn't help but said shyly, "Also, as for the artificial respiration, it's best if you forget about it all."
Obviously, Asatake Yoshino didn't want others to know that not only was she kissed by Aize, whom she had treated coldly before, but she was also almost naked by him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that talkative." Aize was not interested in talking about this to others, and nodded simply and said, "Whether it's Cong Yu, Mr. An Qing, Miss Chang Lu, or even my grandfather, I won't tell them about this."
"That's good..." Asatake Yoshino pursed her lips, trying to calm down her embarrassment. She said with a straight face, "I'll find time to talk to you about the evil spirit and the curse later."
It seems that the witch has not given up her plan to keep Aize out of it.
"As long as you are happy."
Aize didn't think the other party could convince him, but he didn't object to the other party coming to talk to him.
He always felt that there was some inside story in this matter that he didn't know.
Yoshino Asatake did not tell her about the animal ears on her body, that is, the curse and what impact it would have on her and her family, including her engagement with herself. Asatake Yasuharu had the right purpose in unilaterally proposing this, and she herself had not yet figured it out.
And as for the matter of the evil spirit, Aize always felt that something was wrong.
Because, when using Cong Yu Wan to deal with the evil spirit, Aize could always feel that Cong Yu Wan seemed to have no hostility towards those filthy things, but instead had an inexplicable grief.
Thinking of this, Aize turned his gaze to Cong Yuwan in his hand.
(Why on earth are you so eager for me to pull you out?)
Is there something you want me to help you with?
Is that matter related to those evil gods?
Is your purpose to lift the curse on Hoori and the Asamaki family?
(I feel like... it shouldn't be that simple.)
Aize touched his heartbeat, which was completely in line with Cong Yuwan's emotions. Although he couldn't tell why he had this feeling, he did not doubt the authenticity of this feeling.
Perhaps Cong Yuwan wanted to tell Aize something.
Or perhaps, there are still many truths that have not been revealed.
Asatake Yoshino was still vague in her response, and it was obvious that she was hiding a bigger secret.
Under such circumstances, Aize would certainly not refuse Asatake Yoshino's request for negotiation.
If possible, he would like to know more.
For no other reason than to avoid being kept in the dark.
…………
In the early hours of the morning, Aize and Yoshino Asatake finally returned to Kenjiro Shrine and the Asatake family.
"Great, you're back safely."
Asahi Yasuharu had been standing at the door waiting, and when he saw Aize and Asahi Yoshino coming back, a look of obvious relief appeared on his face.
"Lord Fang Nai! Lord Aize! Are you all right?"
Hitachi Mako actually came over as well, and hurriedly greeted Aize and Asatake Yoshino.
She did not live in the Chaowu family. She had gone back to the Hitachi family after dinner. The reason why she appeared here now was probably because she rushed here after receiving the notice, right?
At home, besides Ariatake Yasuharu and Hitachi Mako, there was another person whom Aize had never seen before.
"Excuse me, Master Aize, Master Fangnai, please come over here."
She was a woman wearing a white coat and glasses, and she looked calm and composed.
"My name is Mizuha Komagawa. I'm a doctor by profession and I run a clinic in the town of Hoori. Mr. Yasuharu asked me to come over and do some tests on you."
Seeing that Aize looked confused, Mitsuha Komagawa gave a brief self-introduction.
"Doctor Mizuha's ancestors have been doctors for generations. They used to be a medical family that served the Asatake family, just like the Hitachi family. So she is one of the few people in town who knows our secret."
Hitachi Mako explained this to Aize, and Aize looked understood.
Yes, since the Chaowu family has been fighting against evil spirits and curses for generations, how could they not be hurt?
There must be some people in related professions supporting them from behind, so they can keep fighting like this.
"I'm counting on you, Doctor Mizuha."
Asatake Yasuharu solemnly asked Komagawa Mitsuha for a favor.
"This is my job, please raise your head."
Mitsuha Komagawa just said this and hurriedly checked the bodies of Aize and Yoshino Asatake.
The first person she checked was naturally Yoshino Asatake.
"There are no obvious injuries on the body. There are some external injuries, but they are just some superficial injuries. It's not a big deal. But the temperature is a little low. I'm afraid it's possible that you have a cold or a fever. I will prescribe some medicine later. Please take it on time, Lady Fang Nai."
Mitsuha Komagawa was very efficient and quickly completed the examination on Yoshino Asatake. The diagnosis she gave made everyone feel relieved.
But when it was Aize's turn to check, everyone's expressions changed.
