Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Himiko is not suitable, and naturally, we cannot ask Lord Seimei for help. So, the best candidate is Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

If it were the old Minamoto no Yorimitsu? Sorry! Even if Jorogumo shamelessly went to Lord Seimei, she would absolutely not go to Minamoto no Yorimitsu! The old Minamoto no Yorimitsu truly knew how to kill demons! And he killed demons without any mercy!

"Um?!"

Hearing Jorogumo's words, Minamoto no Yorimitsu frowned slightly, pondering the matter for a moment. After careful consideration, he nodded slightly and said, "There is a method, but it will take time to try. Besides that, I cannot guarantee anything else."

"Ok!"

Jorogumo's smile deepened. As long as there's a way, anything is possible. However! This is also a change in Minamoto no Yorimitsu; he merely inherited the legacy, not the true Minamoto no Yorimitsu. On the other hand!

……

"Um?!"

Princess Goldfish watched the sea churning, and the next moment, a figure emerged from beneath the surface—it was Umibozu. Seeing Umibozu, Princess Goldfish was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Umibozu, you were also captured by Seimei…"

"Yes!"

Umibozu nodded and said, "I was also summoned by Lord Seimei."

Looking at Umibozu, a smile appeared on Kingyo's face. She was overjoyed, even radiant! Kingyo's smile was incredibly deep at this moment. For Kingyo, the summoning of Umibozu didn't just represent Umibozu as an individual, but rather that the big guy could also be summoned. This was what made Kingyo most happy.

after all!

For Princess Goldfish, all of this has happened far too much. Amidst such tremendous changes, all Princess Goldfish hopes for now is to see that big guy again, just like her father, who has always protected her and helped her grow. But when she finally grew up, she discovered that he had gradually disappeared, and she was no longer able to repay him or do anything at all.

Silently shaking her head, Princess Goldfish's expression was very calm, and she smiled as she said, "Umibozu, it really has been a long time!"

Umibozu smiled and said, "Lady Goldfish, it has indeed been a long time! However, you have undergone tremendous changes. I'm sure Lord Arakawa would be very pleased to see you now."

even though!

Umibozu rarely lives in the Arakawa River, but among yokai, Umibozu is still considered a water creature of the Arakawa River. Indeed, Umibozu is considered a yokai of the Arakawa River, and in terms of age, Umibozu is older than even the Lord of the Arakawa River, making him a very ancient yokai of the Arakawa River.

He truly witnessed the development of the entire Arakawa region, or rather, everything that happened in Arakawa was witnessed by Umibozu. This is an undeniable fact! Umibozu has undergone many changes, and has always been so.

...... ..... ...

The once fierce and ruthless Arakawa is precisely why Umibozu is unwilling to live there. This explains why, despite being from Arakawa, he has undergone such a transformation. This is the fundamental reason for Umibozu's change. Besides this, the most fundamental point is that Umibozu is truly exceptional, or perhaps, he is simply too old.

He had seen a lot, and because of his outstanding personality, everyone treated Umibozu like an elder. Because of this, Umibozu grew time and time again. For many people, such growth might be a great honor, but for Umibozu, it meant nothing at all. The reason is simple: Umibozu really didn't care about any of it; it was just a trivial matter.

Even if she grows up, or for other reasons, what difference does it make? Umibozu doesn't particularly care about any of this, nor does he take it seriously. After all, it's not a big deal. He has witnessed the changes in Arakawa time and time again, from Xiaolang becoming the lord of Arakawa to Xiaolang's death in battle, and right up to the present! Umibozu has witnessed everything about Kingyo-hime's growth!

even though!

Almost everything has undergone this enormous change, but! All of this is nothing, for Arakawa, for everything, because everything in the past is gone, everything that once was has become the past.

"Hmm~"

Princess Goldfish raised her head, a smile playing on her lips. She knew very well that everything was changing, and soon! Everything would appear before her eyes, and all of this was a very good thing!

"Hehehe~~~"

A smile appeared on her face as Princess Goldfish gazed quietly into the distance. Her hopes were immense, and she was filled with anticipation for the future. Everything was under consideration. Just then, an aura appeared, and Princess Goldfish was stunned.

"This is……"

Princess Goldfish murmured as she turned her head and saw a figure approaching with a smile. The figure said, "Long time no see!"

Chapter 206: Return

tread!

Under the gaze of the Goldfish Princess, a familiar figure quickly appeared before her.

"Greetings, Lord Seimei."

Without much thought, Princess Goldfish slowly bowed.

"Long time no see, Fish Princess."

Upon hearing Yuhime address him as "Master," Seimei smiled and nodded, then placed the stack of scrolls he was holding on the table.

"Fish Princess, take a look first. If you have any questions, just ask me. Once you've memorized all of this, I'll tell you about the next task."

"Yes, sir..."

Princess Goldfish nodded.

As soon as Princess Goldfish finished speaking, Seimei turned and left, leaving Princess Goldfish standing there, stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and continued to organize the documents on the table.

……

Meanwhile, Seimei, having left the Goldfish Princess's office, quickly found his own room.

"653"

Although I haven't been here for a while, the layout of this building is still pretty much the same as before, retaining the layout from when Seimei first moved in. Even though it has now become the residence of Yuhime, it hasn't changed much.

After pushing open the door to his room, Seimei sat directly on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

He had a dream on his way home last night.

In his dream, he returned to that dark space and saw a blurry figure whose outline he could only vaguely make out.

The figure reached out its hand towards him, as if trying to grab him.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it; instead, he was pulled into that dark abyss by the other party.

After waking up from his dream, a scene appeared in his mind.

The figure seemed to be conveying some kind of message to him, but this message was less about informing him and more about forcing him to search according to the clues provided.

As for the specifics, he is not sure yet and needs to look up information over the next few days.

1...

0 "My lord? My lord?"

The shout from Princess Goldfish suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

1. Opening his eyes, Seimei frowned slightly.

6. "Princess Fish, have you done what I asked you to do?"

7. Composing himself, Seimei looked at the respectful Kingyo-hime before him and asked.

1. He gave Princess Goldfish a stack of documents, which detailed the intelligence they had collected within her jurisdiction. He also assigned her a job and provided her with two assistants to help her process the collected intelligence.

These tasks are not complicated; they are simply helping him gather information. Compared to other tasks, they are not difficult at all—although Princess Goldfish is usually quite busy, this is obviously not a difficult task for her.

5 “I have memorized it all, but the amount of information you gave me is too much. If I were to read it all at once, it would probably take me a long time.”

5. Princess Goldfish said seriously.

"Oh? It takes this long?"

"After all, it's intelligence..."

To be honest, Princess Goldfish was quite surprised. She didn't expect Seimei to prepare such a lot of tedious work for her.

Surprised as she was, she naturally took the task assigned by Seimei seriously and didn't think the information was that important. So after hesitating for a while, she agreed.

However, just as she was about to speak, Seimei seemed to sense something and immediately stopped her.

"Don't rush, we have a guest. You should leave now."

"A guest has arrived?"

Princess Goldfish was somewhat surprised. Who would dare to come here and cause trouble on this island?

However, before she could even ask a question, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, several figures burst in through the door, looking fierce and menacing, as if they had no good intentions.

Moreover, upon seeing the Goldfish Princess, one of the men immediately revealed a lewd expression, with a sinister smile even appearing on his lips.

Upon seeing the appearance of the newcomer, Princess Goldfish's pupils suddenly contracted, and a surge of anger rose involuntarily within her.

This is a notorious pirate in these waters!

"Oh, beautiful Princess Goldfish, it's been a long time!"

The man walked towards Princess Goldfish step by step, a mocking and frivolous smile on his face.

Princess Goldfish gritted her teeth.

But at that moment, she heard footsteps, followed by a cold voice.

What were you doing just now?

"S-lord?"

Hearing that unfamiliar and cold voice, Princess Goldfish couldn't help but tremble, and then looked up at the source of the voice.

What comes into view is a face radiating coldness, especially his left cheek, where a hideous and grotesque scar runs across the entire right side of his face, sending chills down one's spine at first glance...

Upon seeing the other party appear, the pirate was so frightened that he took several steps back: "You, who are you? What do you want!"
