This indicates that the Snow Woman is beginning to awaken.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're an idiot?" Her pink eyes were filled with laughter. "You've fulfilled my dream, even though it's a little late. But it turns out that there really are people who, when I'm suffering, would still reach out to help me up, even if it would cause them trouble."
"Don't pinch me, you'll get frostbite soon." Yin Zhu waved her hand in the air a few times, trying to push her away, but she was afraid of the gradually reviving chill emanating from Bai Xuehuimei.
"You and your big cat can go."
Bai Xuehui suddenly let go of her hand, and the color of her pupils gradually returned to normal. She even took a step back, wanting to keep her distance from Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu turned to look out the window; the snowstorm outside the village had stopped.
"By the way, it seems you want to deal with that Shuten-dōji guy. Let me give you one last reminder. There's another way for demons to leave the demon realm, besides waiting for the gates of the underworld to open."
Just as Yin Zhu was about to leave, Bai Xuehui called her back.
"That's called reincarnation. It's said that after being exorcised, ghosts can be reincarnated, but a demon is still a demon. Even if it's reincarnated, it will still become a murderous devil and be banished back by the Onmyoji." Bai Xue Huimei calmly explained to Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu had heard of this before. Apparently, there was a monster in the Cherry Blossom Country that had a similar situation, and it was said that it was a female ghost who was reincarnated as a male ghost. However, Yin Zhu forgot what kind of monster it was.
"Do you want to be reincarnated?" Yin Zhu asked casually.
"There's nothing left for me to cherish in this world. Before I change my mind, you should leave. I'm going back to sleep; He didn't want me to wake up." Shirayuki Emi, or rather, the Snow Woman, waved her hand, indicating that she was leaving.
When Yin Zhu stepped out of the village, he had already seen the icicle forest.
Everything was actually very close, but the distance was infinitely stretched in the dream. The cat was perched on a huge icicle, warily watching its surroundings, but it didn't make a sound when it saw Yin Zhu.
"Sister Cat, someone has died! The snowstorm has stopped, let's run!" Yin Zhu waved her arm, signaling her to come down quickly.
Did you do this?
The cat leaped down again, sniffed the familiar scent on Yin Zhu, picked her up again, but this time it didn't throw her on its back. Instead, it grabbed Yin Zhu by the collar and ran in the direction they had come from.
Yin Zhu swayed in mid-air, experiencing the feeling of being disoriented in the wind, recalling the last words the Snow Maiden had said to her.
Reincarnation allows one to be reborn back into the human realm...
As expected of a world with magic and ghosts, this works! It's no wonder that ghosts and monsters go to great lengths to exploit bugs in order to leave this place!
Speaking of which, she did remember a similar legend in Japan. Apparently, there was a very vicious female ghost who was destroyed by a powerful Onmyoji. She was then reincarnated as a man, still extremely vicious, and was destroyed by another Onmyoji.
On Earth, this would definitely be considered a case of later generations trying to ride the coattails of a trending topic, but in the Spirit Sphere, it might not be a fake or inferior reincarnation.
Having already thought of this place, Yin Zhu finally realized the problem.
Shirayuki Emi is mentioned in [her diary].
In other words, there must be someone behind Yuki-onna who knows her name, and that person can control Yuki-onna and force her into a deep sleep.
So, who solved the Snow Woman's problem and gained the greatest fame during the chaos in the Demon Realm?
It is Shuten-dōji.
Because of her preconceived notions about the legends of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Yin Zhu subconsciously assumed that Shuten-dōji was a male. In addition, her diary mentioned that the diary's owner had traveled through time at dusk, so Yin Zhu did not connect the two at all.
One of them is a great demon who became the king of all demons in the demon realm many years ago.
One of them is a female student who somehow fell into the human world.
Logically speaking, the two are almost certainly not the same person, but since the Snow Woman deliberately linked "Shuten-dōji" with "reincarnation", it means that the Snow Woman is implying that Shuten-dōji once returned to the human world through this loophole.
Unlike monsters with names like "Princess," "Woman," or "Old Woman," "Child" doesn't have a clear gender connotation; it simply indicates age.
Yin Zhu gave himself the nickname "Bamboo Cutter Child". Including the Zashiki-warashi who was imprisoned instead of being sealed, they are all in the form of little girls. So even if Shuten-dōji changed from "handsome young man" in the legend of the Cherry Blossom Country to "pretty young girl", it is not a big problem.
Wiping her face, which was almost completely clouded by the wind, Yin Zhu continued to verify her guess.
The only problem with this conjecture is that if Shuten-dōji left the demon world midway, why did only Yuki-onna seem to know about it, while the other demons like Nekomata were completely unaware, and why did the demon world not fall into chaos again after losing the King of a Hundred Demons?
If you find out that your boss has suddenly run away, even the most loyal employee would have to take a break, right?
Unless, of course, there was another powerful demon who also knew about it and perfectly covered it up until Shuten-dōji returned to the demon realm, seamlessly continuing the cover-up.
Yin Zhu couldn't think of any monsters for a moment, so she could only close her mind in frustration.
During her stay in Xueshan Village, Yin Zhu appeared relaxed on the surface, but she hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. Back at Maoyou's house, she was going to get a good night's rest.
However, the cat did not go home.
She first went to confirm the locations of the Ice Pillar Woman and Shiranui. Because their domains were somewhat incompatible with the Snow Woman's, one of them slipped out directly, while the other was kicked out by the Snow Woman because she had melted several ice pillars.
