Qiao Xi couldn't help but paused on the spot. The seal was really not that serious... Although Ibaraki's move did indeed harm many men in the city lord's palace, but they already had the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, so after all, there were
A distant relative.
It's perfectly fine to ask Qiao Xi to say clearly that what Ibaraki did was wrong, but it's not okay to ask him to fulfill his duties as a god and thus seal away the evil monster Ibaraki.
——Yes, it’s so unfair.
So facing the rather aggressive Ibaraki Doji, Qiao Xi fell into silence for a moment.
He helplessly stared at the menacing monster in front of him for a long time, then helplessly raised his forehead and decided to skip the topic: "Is this how you used to...make money?"
——For a while, he really couldn't think of a more suitable word.
And this subtle question doesn't seem to be very appropriate now, because the expression on Ibaraki's face is obviously filled with a wave of malice.
"You know? As long as I smile, those stupid humans will humble themselves and offer everything to me."
Qiao Xi: "..."
Qiao Xi looked at the natural expression on Ibaraki's face and was speechless.
——You are quite proud of your feelings, aren’t you?
Qiao Xi felt very tired.
He could feel that the people in the City Lord's Mansion had evil intentions, otherwise they would not have been seduced by Ibaraki.
However, this does not mean that Ibaraki can lead those humans into the evil ghost realm without any scruples.
——There is no doubt that this is the main reason why Qiao Xi feels that Ibaraki has gone too far.
Although Qiao Xi and Ibaraki have now left the City Lord's Mansion, the humans in the City Lord's Mansion - well, specifically, those can no longer be called humans.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes.
How can an evil spirit who is completely dominated by desire be called a human being?
But even so, as a god, he did not take action to purify...
It's just that the culprit was taken away...
Of course, Ibaraki Doji noticed this, so his current sense of Qiao Xi was very complicated. He looked at Qiao Xi and said word by word: "Qiao Xi-kun, I am Ibaraki Doji."
The great monster Ibaraki Doji.
An evil spirit that fell from humans, Ibaraki Doji, who controls the Rashomon gate leading to life and death, has always been indifferent to humans.
To be more specific, except for special objects, most monsters are very indifferent to humans.
After all, there is really no way to empathize with the fact that species are different. Even humans who think they are benevolent will not consider those little bugs when they trample to death small bugs that they think affect the visual enjoyment when passing by.
What are you thinking?
——In the eyes of most youkai, humans are undoubtedly those little bugs.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes.
Ibaraki Doji's golden pupils seemed to shine with an extremely eerie light under the moonlight, so deep that it made people feel shuddering for a moment.
He looked at Qiao Xi and noticed that the young-looking god lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing whether it was because of grievance or something else. His usually bright eyes now looked languid and lacked energy. He didn't know why.
Yes, I felt...very powerless for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that even though he was taken out of the city lord's palace, Qiao Xi did not take it upon himself to purify the humans who were seduced by him.
Although if Qiao Xi had taken action to purify it at that time, it would have meant that the two of them were in a confrontation with no room for change. After all, the pride of the big monster made them unable to tolerate others' comments when doing things, even if the person was related to them.
The same goes for very close friends.
So Ibaraki-douji couldn't hold it back and relented.
After all, the other party is a god who was born as a result of being worshiped by humans. It seems natural that he would like humans more than monsters like himself.
In fact, Ibaraki had some understanding of Qiao Xi's character since they first met him hundreds of years ago.
At that time, Ibaraki was quite dissatisfied with the existence of the "Feng Yue God".
After all, there is no one like him who possesses powerful demon power but doesn't like fighting at all.
This is really weird, completely opposite to myself.
Ibaraki once thought that he would have nothing to do with the rumored Fengyue God, until it was reported that the god actually had a tie with Shuten.
Shuten-douji is the only monster in this world that Ibaraki is convinced of - even though there may be monsters more powerful than Shuten in this world, there is only one Shuten, and by chance, he becomes the only close friend recognized by Ibaraki.
.
Therefore, Ibaraki was able to tie with Shuten Douji, and Ibaraki became curious about the God of the Moon from this moment on.
But when he saw him in person, Ibaraki was quite disappointed. Not only was he disappointed, he was even a little angry.
——Can this little guy who seems to be weaker than most humans really be qualified to fight Shuten Doji?
Isn't this fooling him, Ibaraki Doji! It's a good thing he waited so long before this!
Realizing that the rumors were untrue, Ibaraki Doji decisively expressed his anger. With unspeakable emotions, he and Qiao Xi got into a fight the first time they met.
Although there was no outcome between the two of them, Ibaraki felt that if Shuten had not suddenly appeared to stop them at that time, he would still have a high chance of winning.
But now I feel like I'm not doing well.
I don’t know where this guy went to practice after not seeing each other for hundreds of years. Compared with the immature before, the Fengyue God today is much more mature.
cough.
Thinking too far.
Anyway, Ibaraki couldn't help but recall those years, and remembered that he still liked this little god. After thinking about it for a while, and just when he was about to give in, he saw the little god in front of him tapping the palm of his left hand with his right hand quite inexplicably.
After a moment, he looked over with his clear, bright and round eyes as if nothing had happened, and asked: "Then what... are you drinking?"
Ibaraki: "..."
Hey, how should I put it, such a pure, clean, and very comfortable breath is really something that no monster can refuse.
Even he, Ibaraki Douji, is the same.
So he awkwardly crossed his legs and sat down with Qiao Xi on the top of the mountain.
Qiao Xi took out the snacks and wine flask on his small table in a good-natured manner. In fact, he was thinking this in his heart - Men, there is nothing that can't be solved by having a drink together.
