Since he had promised Tongzi to help her get rid of the monster that had been harassing her, Zhou Yuan was ready to take action directly.
He did what he said, which was exactly his ninja way.
He happened to bring little Yilin along. The Tengu clan that controlled the wind were experts in tracking. After more than ten years of fighting, Tongzi also had the experience to detect the location of the enemy. Although the witch of the barrier was not good at frontal combat, she was an expert in guarding and detecting.
The three of them set off immediately and easily found the imp who was hiding next to the village and was spying on Tongzi.
The moment he saw this white-haired imp, Zhou Yuan understood where the strange sense of déjà vu came from.
“Why, why do you all want to go against me, you all deserve to die!” With a resentful look and a hateful roar, a kid with short white hair, about 11 or 12 years old, appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.
“I remember this person seemed to be…..The one from Soul Eater Zero?”
Zhou Yuan remembered that this person was from Soul Eater Zero, the villain who implanted the killing stone into Jianshan Huangquan, Sanzuchuan Kazuhiro.
When she saw him, Tongzi beside her was a little excited, but she did not lose control. After forcing herself to stabilize her emotions, she stared at Sanzuchuan Kazuhiro in front of her, and her gentle voice revealed a sense of relief.
“After more than ten years, it’s finally time”
“Do you need to kill him yourself?”
Zhou Yuan looked at Tongzi and asked softly.
Tongzi calmed down and shook her head.
“No, it’s not necessary. As a priestess, you shouldn’t hold grudges. Please just let him go.”
When Sanzugawa Kazuhiro heard this, he laughed like crazy and rushed directly to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan didn’t even turn his head back, and casually waved a flame, and burned Sanzugawa Kazuhiro to ashes.
Oh, it’s not that nothing was left. Where Sanzugawa Kazuhiro disappeared, there was a broken gem left.
It was the killing stone, and it was also the main reason why Sanzugawa Kazuhiro had been persistent in pursuing Tongzi for more than ten years.
“This killing stone is mine, as well as the fragment in your body. Now that the monster that was eyeing it is dead, you don’t have to protect it anymore. Just give it to me.”
Zhou Yuan’s voice was gentle, but it contained an unshakable will. The essence of this killing stone was the crystallization of demonic power, a gem similar to the Four Souls Jade, which could be used as firewood for the Singing Cauldron.
Tongzi smiled gently and agreed softly.
She seemed to have finally let go of the burden, and her whole body relaxed. Her originally gloomy temperament also changed a little.
Since they had solved the enemy hiding nearby, Zhou Yuan and Tongzi returned to the shrine.
“”Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. No matter what you ask of me, I will do my best.”
Tongzi knelt in front of Zhou Yuan, slowly lowered her head, and bowed to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan did not stop her, ending Tongzi’s pain for more than ten years. He accepted this gift with peace of mind.
“No need to call me Yushen anymore, my name is Zhou Yuan, you can call me whatever you like”
“Since you said so, I do have an errand for you.” What
Zhou Yuan was referring to at this moment was not entrusting her to build the barrier, but his own desire.
“Your heart must have been exhausted after all these years.”
“”Unload your responsibilities, let go of everything, and become my priestess.”
Zhou Yuan was saying this, but he felt that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this line was not right. Then he suddenly realized that this seemed to be a famous line from one of the three golden targets like Karna.
He touched his elbow unconsciously, but unlike Gimpica, I have an invincible golden armor to protect me, so the safety factor of my elbow is max.
Tongzi was stunned for a moment and did not respond.
“You can hardly hide your fatigue. If I have to say what I want to do for you, it is this. I like you very much. Put down your sword and become my witch.”
Zhou Yuan repeated what he wanted to say.
“I actually really hate fighting.”
Hitomi said
“When I was four years old, I was attacked by a monster and I showed a strong spiritual talent when I was in danger.”
“I was only four years old at the time, and I was happy to be able to help my grandfather fight against monsters.”
As she spoke, a sad look appeared on Tongzi’s face.
“Grandpa also said that I would become a powerful witch, take over his position and take on his responsibilities.”
“Now that I think about it, that moment was the beginning of my nightmare life.”
She looked as if she was about to cry, but her tone was still calm.
“I actually hate fighting.”
When she repeated this sentence, her tone was very heavy, as if she was venting something.
Zhou Yuan knew that her words were not empty words, and it was precisely because of this that Tongzi’s power was manifested as an unshakable barrier. This woman really hated fighting.
“As a human being, my willpower has its limits after all.”
Zhou Yuan was silent.
In the original work, Hitomi was harassed by Naraku for more than ten years. She was exhausted physically and mentally. When faced with the death that finally came, she showed relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. In order to get peace after death, she even asked the villagers to separate her body to prevent her body from being controlled by others.
Unfortunately, the more pitiful a person is, the more undesirable the ending is. She did not get the peace she longed for after her death, and her body was still controlled by Naraku.
Hitomi in this world, I don’t know if it’s fate, Naraku is gone, but Sanzugawa Kazuhiro appears, because of a killing stone that Zhou Yuan looked like rags and could only be used as firewood, and harassed and attacked her for more than ten years.
At this moment, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and even had suicidal tendencies.
“Then I order you to put it all aside, be my caged bird, be my plaything.”
Zhou Yuan gave the order directly.
He understood what Tongzi wanted to say. Even though she was tired, in pain, and wanted to commit suicide, she was still tenacious. Tongzi, who struggled in this sea of suffering, had that unique charm.
So she refused to become Zhou Yuan’s priestess.
But so what? The overbearing god will definitely get what he wants.
He grabbed Tongzi, took Lingjiu Yilin with him, and activated the Flying Thunder God to return to Heian-kyo.
