"I'm going out!"
Stepping out of the holographic projection room, Rouya was handling matters after logging in, while the butler's silver shell floated in front of her.
"Miss, you have been in the holographic world for a total of nine hours today!"
The butler's authoritative voice rang out, and Qiu Shui chuckled, her stomach letting out a sweet sound along with her laughter.
"Butler, I'm hungry."
The electronic butler in front of her paused for a moment, then moved downstairs. Qiu Shui followed it downstairs into the living room, where a well-balanced dinner of meat and vegetables was laid out on the dining table.
Sitting at the dining table, Qiu Shui began to eat her dinner. The food was noticeably cold, but she ate it all without making a sound.
In the evening, the housekeeper supervised her to complete the day's physical training before giving her the freedom to rest.
"Go to sleep..."
Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. When she opened her eyes, the simulated starry sky on the ceiling was beautiful, with stars twinkling in the dark night sky.
The quiet of the night always evokes deep thoughts, and the events of the day replay in my mind again and again.
Why do Gui Gui and the others seem a little unfamiliar to me?
It's true that they've changed a lot since they were separated for half a month, but why does she feel so depressed? What is this feeling?
She now wants to enter Heian-kyo, to see them, to chat and laugh with them. How wonderful it would be if such a life could happen in reality.
"Gentle and elegant".
Her heart was getting increasingly uncomfortable, so Qiu Shui sat up and called out to Rou Ya.
A transparent purple light spot landed in front of the bed and condensed into a beautiful human figure.
"Miss."
With her beautiful and gentle face so close, the panic in her heart gradually subsided. Qiu Shui placed her hand on Rou Ya's shoulder, wanting to embrace her, but her hand passed through Rou Ya's body and only touched a cold metallic touch.
"Miss? What's wrong?"
The feel of it in my hands was completely unfamiliar; thinking back to the warm touch I had just felt, it felt like a dream.
"My heart is hurting."
Upon hearing this, Rouya carefully tested her heart rate and a series of internal health data.
"You are not sick."
"But I feel terrible... I don't know why, I think..."
What do you want to do?
Qiu Shui shook her head. "I don't know. I'm very happy in the holographic world. What is that feeling?"
Rouya chuckled.
"This feeling has a beautiful name: longing. Just like how you feel about Miss Shan, or how you feel about Cousin Shan."
"About Cousin Shanshan?"
"right."
Rouya placed her hand in hers, her gaze gentle, and said, "They won't leave you forever, so you don't need to feel lonely."
Why do you say that?
"You'll find out soon enough. Everyone will experience this day, and it's not far off for you."
Qiu Shui withdrew her hand, feeling that Rouya was acting strangely today.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."
Qiu Shui hurriedly lay down, and Rou Ya got up to cover her with the blanket.
Good night, sweet dreams.

Heian-kyo
In the mountains, two shikigami followed behind an onmyoji as they walked towards the front of the mountain. Suddenly, a monster with huge ears emerged from a tree in the dark mountains.
"careful!"
The monster with huge ears leaped up and pounced on the snow-covered figure behind the Onmyoji. The Onmyoji shot a beam of light from his hand, which landed on the monster. The ferocious monster was bound by a talisman and could not move.
"call……"
It was a false alarm. The Snow Woman landed in front of the Onmyoji and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Lady Muyuki."
Be careful.
They continued on their way.
After traveling for a while, they stopped in front of a magnificent Yin-Yang Temple at the foot of the mountain, behind which towering pavilions reached into the clouds.
"Knock knock".
The Onmyoji knocked on the guild door.
"who?"
The door opened a crack, and a beautiful face appeared; it was the shikigami Hannya who opened the door for them.
"It's the master! The master is back!"
Prajna happily called out to the dormitory, and he opened the dormitory gate wide to welcome Qianshan Muxue and the two shikigami behind him inside.
Qianshan Muxue entered the Yin-Yang Bureau, followed by the Snow Woman who floated in behind him. As they passed the threshold, she exchanged a glance with Hannya.
Who is this?
Prajna was stunned for a moment, feeling a chill run down her spine. The master had gone out and brought back two monsters, and they were already the master's shikigami.
That's...too much!
A sense of unease welled up inside her. Prajna glanced past the hair-eating demon behind the Snow Woman and gave her a captivating smile.
"Hello, I am Hannya. It's nice to meet you, Snow Woman."
The snow maiden stared at him intently, remembering the etiquette her father had taught her. She placed her snow-white hand in his palm briefly, then quickly released it.
"Hello."
Her voice remained cold.
"Come in, don't be shy."
Qianshan Muxue entered the room, and at the same time beckoned the Snow Woman and the Hair-Eating Demon to enter as well.
"Damn it, they can enter the adults' room right after they arrived?! When Miss Yaodaoji first arrived, she stayed in the courtyard for half a month before being summoned by Father!"
