The forest path grew narrower and narrower.
The atmosphere around them grew increasingly deep and mysterious.
Qu Jian'er smelled a pungent odor.
It smelled like a mixture of fish mint, spoiled sea worm jelly, and burnt stench.
She felt the taste was extremely familiar.
It's like they used an evil spell, plundering power they shouldn't have, and thus incurred the wrath of heaven and earth.
Upon seeing the low and cramped structure of the cottage, she realized that Madam Gu was actually a member of the Little Baga family.
Only families like the Sato family still maintain the traditional narrow building, calling it a way of preserving tradition.
In reality, I still can't let go.
Why worry about tsunamis, earthquakes, or building size these days? Why insist on living in a small, low-rise building? That's just narrow-minded.
only.
This was not mentioned in the original text.
Even Qu Jian'er was slightly surprised.
She hadn't expected that Madam Gu was connected to the Sato family. It seemed that the matter of Mu Huai was indeed related to Sato.
And indeed, it was related to the Gu family of Guyu City.
Seeing Qu Jian'er standing there in a daze.
Instead of being arrogant and rude like before.
The butler assumed Qu Jian'er was scared: "Now you know you regret it? Too late. Next, our esteemed lady will meet with you..."
Qu Jian'er replied, "Stewed noodles? Spicy or sweet and sour? I like the tomato sauce flavor. Just have your wife make me a bowl of stewed noodles with tomato sauce. Oh, I don't want cilantro."
Her eyes darted around.
His tone was utterly irritating.
The originally serious and frightening atmosphere became indescribable after Qu Jian'er spoke.
The butler was speechless with anger.
He wished he could take matters into his own hands and throw Qu Jian'er, that immoral person, out of the house.
The atmosphere around them began to freeze.
Qu Jian'er praised without reservation: "I didn't expect that the Gu family's second wife would personally cook noodles for us. We misunderstood her as being petty. It turns out that there was a reason why she specially chose to receive guests in such a low building."
She had absolutely no sense of propriety, and she got more and more excited as she talked, as if she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't speak out.
Lan Xiaodie tugged at Qu Jian'er's sleeve, wanting to remind the butler that his face had turned as black as charcoal.
However, Qu Jian'er turned a deaf ear, acting as if she would talk until the heavens fell if Madam Gu didn't come out.
Sudden.
A terrifying aura swept over us.
Something with a double tremolo, acting like a ghost, surged in the air, attempting to tear down the veil of terror.
As the wooden door of the cabin opened, the exaggerated double tremor disappeared.
The butler immediately bent down.
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she walked out of the house.
He glanced at Qu Jian'er.
She discovered that her dark eyes couldn't see through the other person, which was incredible!
Qu Jian'er's face also turned cold.
The blessing from the locust tree began to burn intensely, reminding her that the person before her was the one who was seeking the locust tree's power.
There was someone I couldn't figure out.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Lady Gu...
She felt it was best to strike first, so she ordered the shikigami in her hands to trap the people in front of her.
As the pale gold magic circle in her hand was revealed.
A woman with peach blossom patterns on her forehead and face appeared out of thin air. She floated in mid-air, stepping on countless peach petals, her expression indifferent and devoid of any human emotion.
Qu Jian'er hadn't had a chance to react yet.
"Mother!?"
Gu Siyu shouted at the shikigami that had just appeared, her tone full of disbelief.
She lost her biological mother at a young age, and every time she asked her father, she was met with his rebuke.
Therefore, she had to suppress her longing for her mother and relied on a portrait of her deceased mother for many years.
But now...
The person in the photo appeared in front of her.
Even appearing in an inhuman form caused her to completely lose her composure, losing all her initial calm.
Under the dim sky.
The goddess of flowers' expression shifted slightly. Looking at the person crying their eyes out, she began to feel uneasy.
However, under Madam Gu's pressure, the sliver of clarity in Hana Shiki's eyes vanished instantly.
Madam Gu revealed her true nature and stopped pretending. She dismissed the butler and walked in front of everyone.
Seeing that the flower-shaped god's expression remained unchanged.
Gu Siyu suddenly looked at Madam Gu.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "I've shown you your biological mother, how should you thank me?"
Gu Siyu was in unbearable pain, and she could no longer maintain her usual gentleness: "What have you done!?"
At this moment, she didn't need to ask anymore; she knew that the person in front of her wasn't genuinely looking out for her.
All she wanted to know was what had happened to her mother.
Why can't we find peace and tranquility even after death?
Madam Gu spoke frankly: "Her existence would prevent me from being with your father. Therefore, of course I had to get rid of her, but I never expected that after she died, she would possess a peach tree."
That peach tree was where Mu Yu and the Gu family head first met, in order to eliminate any potential threats.
Madam Gu originally intended to kill him.
But unexpectedly, I felt compelled to make her a shikigami.
May they never see each other again, whether in life or death.
This will further alleviate her jealousy.
then.
That's what she thought.
They did just that.
Upon hearing this, Gu Siyu burst into tears.
She tried to walk towards the person in mid-air, but Zuo Zhijing held her shoulder firmly.
Avoid falling into the other party's trap.
To prevent Gu Siyu from becoming overly sad and harming herself, Qu Jian'er delivered a swift chop to the back of her neck.
Zuo Zhijing caught the person in his arms.
She glanced at Qu Jian'er with gratitude.
Lan Xiaodie was terrified, even though she had long expected that something unscientific might exist.
But she never expected to witness it with her own eyes.
Qu Jian'er clenched her wrist: "Only you Onmyoji like to make contracts with shikigami when it's harmful to others and doesn't benefit yourself."
