"How could that be? I'm overjoyed that you've come to Luoyi."
A smile appeared on Yue Baoruo's face.
The newcomer gave a low hum and his gaze fell on the box in her hand.
"Have you found a way to suppress Luo Xiaoyu?" he asked in a low voice.
Yue Bairuo nodded, walked to the corner of the room, and found a small, exquisite silenced gun from somewhere, placing it in his hand.
"I'm counting on you from now on."
The newcomer looked down at the gun, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and said, "You've already found this thing, and you still want me to kill someone?"
The smile on Yue Baoruo's face disappeared, and her voice turned cold.
"It's still unclear whether this item will make Luo Xiaoyu submit. We've prepared for so long, this time we must be absolutely certain."
"But……"
"No buts! Go to the central city now and kill Luo Xiaoyu's sister. Go now, little brother."
Yue Bai looked lovingly at the pale-faced boy in front of her, whose face was taut and whose eyes revealed disappointment.
"Go."
Yue Bairuo urged him again, and the boy put away his gun, turned around and left.
Slowly, his figure disappeared. Yue Bairuo looked down at the box in her hand and suddenly slapped her forehead.
"I forgot to tell him not to go to the Machinery Museum on Monday afternoon. Sorry for the trouble..."
Garden City
"Beep...beep..."
Qiu Shui dialed Yue Qunshu's number again and again, but he kept refusing to answer, so she could only put the bracelet aside for the time being.
Turning around and entering the holographic projection room, she took a deep breath and logged into Onmyoji.
"You have entered the 'Changling' area..."
"This time we'll definitely succeed!" Qiu Shui encouraged herself.
Shi Yang said that no matter what, they had to try again, and that the children still loved her; she believed him.
Upon landing in Heian-kyo, she put away her fan and headed straight for Mount Fuxi without stopping.
On the way to the back mountain, she first entered the front mountain. When she passed the Yin-Yang Hall of Guichu Kongkong and Qianshan Muxue, she carefully went in and took a look.
The once bustling Onmyodo (Yin-Yang Bureau) is now deserted, with only the framed Onmyoji avatars, hinting at its former glory, still hanging on the wall.
The Yin-Yang Chamber in Qianshan Muxue was closed, and no matter how she knocked, there was no response, only deathly silence.
Faced with this situation, Qiu Shui Yi Ren sighed, returned to the main road, and then walked along the path towards the back mountain.
As she strolled along, her Yin-Yang Bureau came into view. She passed the tall, ancient tree at the entrance and suddenly heard an unusual sound.
"..."
The beautiful woman paused, then stopped.
"Who is there?"
There was no response.
She shook her head, walked to the grass in front of the dormitory gate, and knocked on the gate.
"I'm back."
The dormitory was quiet for a long time. Qiu Shuiyi pressed her ear to the door and heard a few low coughs.
"Open the door and let me in."
The beautiful woman called out again.
She is the master of the Onmyoji Bureau, and if she wants to open the door, no shikigami can stop her, but she doesn't want to do so.
"Don't you want your father anymore?"
The sound echoed above the Yin-Yang Bureau, but there was still no response from inside. Qiu Shui Yi Ren suddenly felt a little dizzy.
What if they really don't want her?
As time passed, she gradually became anxious.
“My little ones…”
She cried out sadly, and suddenly heard a response from behind her.
"Father, over here!"
She turned around abruptly, and behind her stood more than a dozen shikigami, with the hair-eating demon standing among them, looking at her strangely.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Autumn Water Beauty: "..."
After a few minutes, she finally found her voice, "You guys just went out?"
Jue nodded, walked to the gate of the dormitory, opened the gate barrier, and opened the door as well.
"We just went out to buy some supplies. We were worried about getting into trouble, so we all went together," the little butterfly spirit explained.
"But I just heard a sound coming from the dormitory," Qiu Shuiyiren said, puzzled.
"That's the sound of water."
The hair-eating demon said.
"Jiaotu is sick and is resting in the pool," Arakawa reminded him.
"Oh, right, she's here too."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shui Yi Ren's wariness dissipated. Before she could ask what they had just bought, she heard Gui Gui let out a charming laugh.
"Dad thought we were home, didn't he?"
"Yes, there was a coughing sound." Qiu Shuiyi coughed lightly, walked to his side, and put her arm around him.
"It sounds reasonable, but didn't Dad think about opening the door himself?" Gui Gui's voice sounded strange when she said this.
When Qiu Shuiyi looked up, she saw him biting his lips, suppressing a laugh.
It's all because of you yesterday!
She sighed and looked up at the sky. The sky was gray, with thick, dark gray clouds. The sky was gradually darkening, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
"Go in."
"The hair-eating demon said happily."
They entered the Yin-Yang Bureau, sat in the courtyard, and chatted about everything under the sun, without mentioning the disaster that had struck before.
As the ghostly figure walked into the kitchen, the judge followed to help her. The other shore flower hesitated and followed behind the judge; she clearly wanted to help, but the judge quickly chased her out.
"What happened?"
"The beautiful woman by the autumn waters asked."
The red spider lily drooped its eyelids. Just then, a torrential downpour began, raindrops sliding down her face and onto the ground. She whispered:
"I can't cook, and Big Black and Judge look down on me. I'm really useless."
"Have you never helped in the kitchen before?" Qiu Shuiyi asked in surprise.
The spider lily sat beside her. "When Firefly and Snow Woman were here, the kitchen helpers were usually the Girl in the Box, the Peach Blossom Fairy, and the Cherry Blossom Fairy. It's a pity they've all left."
The hair-eating demon looked at her, pointed to the attic behind him and said, "In that case, you go and take care of Jiao Tu. She seems to be in a lot of pain."
The other shore flower nodded, and the beautiful woman by the autumn water sensed something was wrong. "Jiaotu isn't in the pond?"
"No, she went upstairs a quarter of an hour ago and is in the Zashiki-warashi's room."
Arakawa said this when he came to fetch water.
"so……"
A look of helplessness flashed across her eyes.
"Arakawa, how is Juzu doing? Shall I make her a cup of tea?" Higanbana asked Arakawa, who was standing nearby.
"You know how to brew tea?" Qiu Shuiyi asked in surprise.
"She's fine, you go ahead and go to the bar," Arakawa replied, carrying a bucket of water.
The other shore flower turned to look at her father, Qiu Shuiyiren, and whispered, "I didn't know how to make tea before, but after that day, I suddenly knew how."
"No way?"
Yes, yes!
The little butterfly fairy ran over and hugged Qiu Shuiyiren's leg, saying, "That day, Sister Yingcao suddenly said she was going to do something, and then she left!"
Qiu Shuiyi listened in shock as they recounted what had happened that day. Based on their descriptions, she could sense how desperate they had been after what had transpired.
As she listened to the end, a suspicion that had once faded from her mind resurfaced.
"Are you... really alright?"
She asked cautiously.
The little butterfly spirit and the red spider lily looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "We should also change, but..."
