The expression on the Yin-Yang Master's face relaxed slightly, but his jaw was still tense, and it seemed that he was still angry.
"Since your death, my lord, Rika has spent three hundred years in longing for you. Every day, Rika sings your favorite song, 'Izumo no Snow'. Did you hear it?"
"Eighty-six years ago, cracks did appear in the puppet body. Rika was afraid... If the puppet body also disappeared, would Rika still be your shikigami? Rika... would she still be Rika?"
Lihua's face showed deep pain and confusion. She pondered for a while before continuing:
"I begged the Tsuchimikado family to use the Impure World Technique to repair my puppet body. Unfortunately, the Impure World Technique requires the heart blood of a newborn baby, and it's a forbidden technique of the Tsuchimikado family. Only the head of the family is allowed to read the secret manual containing the technique. The head of the Tsuchimikado family was so rigid and pedantic that he actually refused me. In a rage, I killed him and made the boy who was willing to help me perform the Impure World Technique the head of the family. Hehehe, that's Tsuchimikado Dosuke—!"
Lihua looked helpless and confused just now, but she turned sinister and vicious in an instant, which made Qingshan feel cold. This woman is definitely a psychopath. Sometimes she is naive and sweet, and sometimes she is a bitch. It seems that living too long is not a good thing. It is easy to become schizophrenic and perverted!
"Although Dosuke was obedient, unfortunately the other Tsuchimikados discovered my secret and planned to seal me with a barrier, so I killed all the Tsuchimikado clan members who were able to practice magic, leaving only Dosuke. Hahahaha!"
The Onmyoji suddenly realized that the Tsuchimikado clan was not dwindling in numbers, but was wiped out by Rika, so Abe Kakuichi had to be the head of Jiujiu.
"After Kakuichi became the headmaster, my life finally became much more comfortable. I no longer had to endure the Tsuchimikado clan's wrath. My puppet body was deteriorating at an increasingly rapid rate, and the Impure World Technique was becoming less effective. That's why Kakuichi offered to create a new body for me. But how can Kakuichi be compared to you, sir? My lord... could you create another puppet body for Rika? Rika still wants to sing and dance for you, make tea and play the zither..."
The Onmyoji looked at Rika's face, which had regained its innocent expression, and shook his head and sighed:
"Lihua, justice is clear and cannot be refuted. You have killed so many people, your hands are stained with blood, and you carry the souls of the wronged. You are no longer qualified to be my guardian shikigami. Do you... have anything else to say?"
Lihua looked at the Yin Yang Master deeply and smiled beautifully, but her dark eyes were filled with deep and unbreakable sadness:
"Sir, where is the person you love now?"
The Yin Yang Master was stunned: "What...?"
"Is she still alive? Is she prettier than Lihua?"
A hint of surprise finally showed on the Yin Yang Master's face, and for the first time in his life he truly took Lihua into his eyes.
"How...did you know that?"
Lihua's already pale face turned even paler, and even the crimson kimono on her body slowly faded:
"Because Lihua is the one who loves you the most in this world...Lihua hopes that you can also experience the pain of not being able to get what you want...Farewell, my beloved..."
After saying this, Lihua showed a sad smile and turned into a palm-sized pink paper figure, which suddenly burned and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, scattered in the soil.
The Yin-Yang Master waved his sleeves, collected the paper ashes in his palm, and murmured to the small handful of ashes:
"The pain of wanting but not getting... I've tasted that before!"
