“I'm back.”
“Is that Kaikei? It's raining so hard outside, are your clothes wet?”
Kamimoto Kaikei opened the door of the shrine, took off her shoes, and went inside.
She bowed to her grandmother, who was sitting not far away.
“No, Grandma.”
Grandma adjusted her glasses and looked at Kamimoto Kaikei with loving eyes.
As the sole heir to the Kodama Shrine, Kamimoto Kaikei's parents passed away in an accident when she was twelve years old, leaving only her grandmother and her to guard this ancient shrine.
If it weren't for the compensation money from the accident being enough to maintain the shrine's expenses,
Perhaps the small Kodama Shrine would have been renamed by the Yin Yang Bureau long ago.
“It's good that you came back safely.” Grandma said meaningfully, looking at the heavy rain.
“What does Kaikei want to eat today?”
“Sushi made by Grandma.” Kamimoto Kaikei said sweetly.
“Oh, right, Grandma, look what I brought back.”
Saying that, Kamimoto Kaikei took Bai Qing out of her arms and held her up in front of her grandmother.
“This is?” Grandma adjusted her glasses and carefully looked at Bai Qing.
After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Kamimoto Kaikei, her expression a little puzzled.
“I picked this little guy up outside. If I hadn't found her, she would definitely have been soaked in the rain. I don't know who could bear to abandon this little cutie.”
“Grandma, can I keep her in the shrine?”
Grandma listened to Kamimoto Kaikei's words and smiled gently, “If Kaikei wants to keep her, then keep her.”
“Grandma, you're so good!” Kamimoto Kaikei threw herself into the old woman's arms and kissed her face.
Bai Qing looked at the girl who brought her back, excitedly holding her up, and helplessly called out.
Being held away from the ground made her feel unsafe.
“Seeing that you're so white, I'll call you Xiaobai.”
The girl said happily.
Well, her name also had the character 'Bai' in it, so it could be considered a fitting name.
Knowing that she couldn't resist, Bai Qing didn't protest much.
Because the previous information surge had made her feel tired.
She fell asleep not long after being comforted by the girl.
When Bai Qing woke up again, it was already dark outside. The altar of the Kodama Shrine was lit with shimmering candles.
She looked at what was beneath her, a small nest temporarily made from old clothes. The size was just right for her to lie in, which was quite comfortable, showing that the girl had put her heart into it.
Bai Qing blinked her golden eyes and looked at the girl kneeling in front of the altar.
She was wearing a shrine maiden's outfit, and her smooth long hair hung down to her waist.
Her graceful figure looked petite in the candlelight.
The old woman sat beside her, also wearing a shrine maiden's outfit like her.
“Kaikei, concentrate on the offerings. The summoning of the demon god must not be half-hearted, you must be sincere.”
“Only in this way will the demon gods respond to your request.”
“I understand, Grandma.”
Demon god? Bai Qing looked at them with interest upon hearing this word.
The knowledge that originally belonged to her was inexplicably hidden, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure anything out.
It was probably necessary to get in touch with the other party before she could understand their information.
Bai Qing's previous life had been uneventful, but she never thought that after being reborn, she would discover that demons and monsters really existed in the world.
“Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan.”
“Spirits that begin in the high heavens, spirits that sink into the netherworld, I wish to call your name here and reappear in the world.”
Along with Kamimoto Kaikei's incantation, the trigram array in front of her slightly lit up.
The originally closed door was blown open with a bang, and a gust of wind swept past.
The talisman strips and copper bells hanging around the shrine jingled.
The candles on the altar were all blown out.
Grandma opened her eyes and looked at the scene of the wind blowing through with some surprise.
She had never seen any movement in the demon god summoning ceremony.
“Grandma.”
“Kaikei, steady your mind, this is the demon god's response to you!”
Demon god?!
Grandma's words made Kamimoto Kaikei a little panicked.
She was just a shrine maiden who had not become a formal Yin Yang Master.
Although she had inherited the Kodama Shrine, she had no ability herself.
Not to mention monsters, she might not even be able to beat ordinary people.
She thought there were no demon gods in the world, but she never thought that she would actually summon a demon god today! This was something she had never thought of.
Kamimoto Kaikei felt very uneasy.
Demon god? Bai Qing narrowed her eyes. Although the wind was howling in her ears, she could still hear the conversation between the old woman and the girl clearly.
She looked at the center of the summoning array, the white light becoming more and more dazzling.
“Who is it that calls for my existence!”
A deep voice echoed in the shrine, and the originally fierce wind became even more frenzied.
Kamimoto Kaikei's shrine maiden outfit was rustling, and her dark hair swayed in the air with the wind.
The two of them looked pale, appearing particularly embarrassed under the powerful spiritual pressure.
In that white light, a red-haired, demonic figure gradually emerged.
He was wearing mottled armor, his five fingers had claws like blades, and his two-meter-high body was like a small giant.
His eyes were scarlet, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking at the two shrine maidens with a playful look.
“I didn't expect it to be two mortals. Very well, you are fortunate to have summoned me. It is also your honor to be my servants.”
After saying that, he stretched out a sharp claw and lifted Kamimoto Kaikei's chin, looking her over and nodding with satisfaction.
“Very good, I am also very satisfied with your virginity.”
“Please, please, demon god, spare my granddaughter, this old woman is willing to serve the great demon.”
Grandma trembled and lay on the ground, saying tremblingly.
“Hmph, old thing, what qualifications do you have to talk to me.” The demon said contemptuously, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction as he looked at the old woman.
“Disturbing my pleasure, you deserve to die.”
After saying that, he grabbed towards the old woman with his five claws, intending to crush her to pieces.
“Grandma!” Kamimoto Kaikei looked at the demon grabbing at her grandmother in horror and shouted loudly.
At that moment, the howling wind stopped, and the world suddenly became quiet.
The demon god seemed to feel something, his scarlet eyes filled with fear.
“What! Who is it!!”
Before anyone could answer him, his eight-foot body slowly turned into ashes like burnt paper.
“Who is it! Ah——!”
Leaving the last scream echoing in the shrine, the demon's figure disappeared.
Leaving only the grandmother and granddaughter looking at each other, looking at the summoning array in a loss.
Bai Qing yawned and lay tiredly in her nest.
Everything just now was what she had done.
As soon as the monster came out, she had all the information about the monster in her head, as well as how to exorcise and restrain it.
This demon god was a snake spirit who liked to eat virgins. But seeing that its strength was not strong, it was easy to deal with.
“I'm so tired.” Bai Qing felt that she had no strength in her body.
She was just a cub now, and being able to destroy that monster just now was considered using all her strength.
“This is the blessing of the Supreme God.”
Grandma recovered and sat in front of the shrine, looking piously at the statue of the god on the altar.
That was the Supreme God, a well-known deity in the overseas country.
In charge of harvest.
In the mythology of this country, great gods are everywhere, and demons and monsters are not as good as dogs.
Look at those single-colored monsters, most of them are doing things like stealing chickens and dogs.
This can be regarded as having something to do with the history of the overseas country.
Kamimoto Kaikei also followed her grandmother's example, putting her palms together and kneeling in front of the statue.
Bai Qing called out boringly and lay listlessly in her nest.
This crisis came quickly and went quickly, and she only felt tired now.
As for why she became the son of Bai Ze, Bai Qing felt that she should take it one step at a time, maybe there would be an answer in the future?
At the same time, Jiang Wen had returned to the Taoist temple with Li Mu. He was preparing to take another person to the overseas country.
