The ghost girl, who was formerly the daughter of Ping'an Capital, raised her head, glanced at Sa Dou, then at Qiao Xi, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "It's indeed very pleasing to the eye."
The two monsters looked at each other and smiled, feeling somewhat connected to each other for a moment.
The Peach Blossom Demon came to Fengyue Shrine this time. On the one hand, he wanted to question Sa Dou, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Qiao Xi.
——But the most important task is to stop by and tell Momiji and the others that Shuten Douji will personally take Momiji back to Kyoto in a while.
Otherwise, when the situation in Kyoto and Dajiangshan is unclear, how can a healing monster like her, who can play a very important role in the war, be allowed to run around?
After hearing Shuten's words conveyed by the Momo Blossom Demon, Hongye was a little stunned for a moment.
To be honest, when she was still a human, she didn't have much interaction with Shuten Doji, the ghost king of the world - at most, she would play the piano at home and he would sneak in to listen. Sometimes she didn't even know
When will Shutun come and when will he leave?
As for talking, after he finished playing the piano one time, the human youth he transformed into jumped off the roof and asked her, "What is the name of this piece of music?"
She was startled at the time and didn't know what was going on. She didn't scream out in fright, but subconsciously replied to him with the title of the song she had played before: "Fireworks on a Moonlit Night."
The moonlight happened to be very bright that night, and the silver-white light was like the softest sand by the water. It was sprinkled on the leaves and on the eaves, reflecting a dreamy effect.
Shuten Doji suddenly laughed.
He picked up the wine gourd behind him with his backhand, raised his head and poured a few sips into his mouth, and finally sighed: "It's such a pity that as a human being, under such a beautiful moonlight, we can't drink so pure
of wine.”
——Even if she didn’t know before and specifically pointed out the “human being” when she heard the words, Hongye could also guess that the young man in front of her was probably a monster.
But Hongye didn't know what she was thinking at that time. She didn't feel any fear in her heart. She just said a little unhappy: "I never like drinking."
Jiutun was startled for a moment and asked strangely: "Are there people in this world who don't drink?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for her answer, he suddenly laughed and jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
He made a lot of noise, but no one from his family or the onmyojis in the nearby onmyojao noticed his trace.
——Hongye’s impression of Shuten at that time was that he was an arrogant and willful alcoholic youkai. Oh, he also liked to listen to himself playing the piano.
Because she had such contact, she later subconsciously paid attention to his news.
I heard that he would turn into a beautiful boy to seduce women and then eat them.
——When Hong Ye heard this legend, her first reaction was to recall her bloody face that night, which was indeed a very beautiful and delicate facial features.
But he’s not a pretty boy, right?
Hongye thought silently, he is just as beautiful as a young man.
When she realized what she was thinking, Hongye's cheeks, which had been educated by aristocratic girls since she was a child, were almost burning.
But one thing is that she didn't really believe the news. After all, she was not eaten by Shuten after seeing him.
——Later, Momiji’s father chose to send her daughter, known as “the most beautiful woman in Heian Kyo”, in order to attach herself to the Kamo family.
At that time, Hongye had almost forgotten her interactions with Shuten - she didn't know that every time she played the piano, Shuten would listen silently and then leave.
She just felt very sad. As a woman, she couldn't choose her own life.
Sometimes she could not help but feel envious when she thought of the big monster acting recklessly under the moonlight.
——It would be great if I could be as free as him...
Hong Ye would often think like this when she was locked up at home during that period.
It wasn't until she was sent to Kamo's house that she heard that Shuten Douji had broken into Kamo's house alone and threatened the owner.
——Everyone said that Shuten Doji did this for Momiji, the "most beautiful woman in Heian Kyo", but Momiji herself just felt confused.
How could there be a monster who would fight against an onmyoji family like the Kamo family for his own sake?
Maybe... maybe it's just a coincidence.
Hong Ye thought about this, but there was an undeniable strange feeling in her heart.
As a result, that day, just when she put the white clothes on her body, the Kamo family, which was originally full of joy, suddenly became commotion.
In a daze, she heard someone screaming and shouting: "There are monsters attacking Kyoto!"
"Shuten-douji leads the monsters from Oeyama to attack!"
She held up her skirt and stood blankly in the yard.
The originally orderly courtyard was now in chaos, with countless people screaming and running.
She was taken to the city wall.
When the cold and sharp blade was placed on his neck, Hongye felt surprisingly calm.
She even had the time to look at the various strange-looking monsters under the tower.
In fact, at first glance, the first thing she saw was the red-haired man standing at the head of the hundred ghosts.
He is actually not very tall, in fact he is actually slender compared to other monsters.
But Hongye saw him with such a strange glance.
There was no difference between him and the one he saw that night.
Someone laughed ferociously in my ear:
"Shuten Doji, are you really here?"
"I really didn't expect that the ghost king of Dajiangshan would be such an infatuated monster! Hahaha, drunken boy, you will be here too!"
The voice was harsh and unpleasant, and it sounded right next to his ears. Hongye couldn't help but tilt his neck.
The sharp blade cut open her delicate skin very easily, and the red blood flowed down from her neck, dyeing a bright red plum blossom on the pure white collar.
She spoke calmly: "Master Kamo, your laughter is really unpleasant."
When she said these words, the people next to her didn't hear much, but the monsters were all very smart, so they all started laughing at her wantonly.
Shuten Doji couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes. He looked up at the girl held hostage by Kamo on the wall.
She was dressed in pure white without any stain, just like her soul, which was pure and innocent.
He looked at her, or at the onmyoji behind her who was controlling her. His voice was calm, as if he was giving an order to the monsters under his command: "Let her go!"
The Kamo family members laughed more and more arrogantly, and the sharp vibrations of the blades in their hands caused larger and larger wounds on Momiji's neck.
He believed that he had the handle to drink wine, so he started talking nonchalantly.
