Twisted Dreams-Chapter 314 - 383: Yin Yang Master
East Sakura, Seimei Shrine.
In the room, Xiaohai was holding a few books, reading.
Madam Bai walked in, surprised:
"You know how to read?"
Xiaohai said:
"I know some Xia Country words, East Sakura letters are quite similar to Xia Country words, I can understand a bit. Also..."
Xiaohai showed the contents of the books, chuckling:
"There are pictures."
Xiaohai was looking at some comic books.
Asuka’s father’s love for Demons and Yin Yang Masters reached a point of obsessive fanaticism.
This room had many comics about Demons and Yin Yang Masters.
Madam Bai sat on the tatami, saying:
"I have something serious to discuss with you."
Xiaohai closed the book, listening to Madam Bai speak.
Madam Bai told Xiaohai all about Asuka’s encounters.
Xiaohai thought for a while, then asked:
"What do you think?"
Madam Bai said:
"This is a place of trouble, I think we ought to leave.
But before leaving, let’s properly teach a lesson to those who bullied that girl."
Madam Bai had a pretty good impression of Asuka.
This girl was actually afraid someone would disturb them while resting and kept watch at the door all night.
In a wolf pack, only kin would do such a thing.
Xiaohai opened his big mouth, grinning:
"No need to leave; this place of trouble is quite good.
We can use this place to establish our footing in East Sakura.
Meanwhile, help Madam teach a lesson to the bad people who bullied Asuka."
Madam Bai paused:
"A place of trouble, quite good?"
Xiaohai explained:
"Yes, the more trouble there is, the more opportunity to expand one’s power.
Just like the Xia Country saying, ’chaos brings forth heroes.’
We can fully utilize this trouble here to rule and dominate this country."
Madam Bai stared at Xiaohai in amazement:
"How do you know so much?"
Madam Bai always thought Xiaohai was a brainless black dog with strong power.
Apparently, she was mistaken.
Xiaohai said proudly:
"Well, don’t you know who my master is?
I’ve followed him for a year, haven’t seen the pigs run, but at least eaten the pork?"
Madam Bai wrinkled her nose, correcting:
"Isn’t it supposed to be ’have eaten pork, but haven’t seen the pigs run’?"
Xiaohai patted Madam Bai’s head:
"I am a domestic dog, haven’t seen pigs run, only eaten pork."
Madam Bai found the words to make sense.
Madam Bai promptly asked:
"So, who exactly is your master? What is his background? When I saw him before, he seemed terrifying."
Xiaohai pondered for a while, then said:
"There’s no harm in telling you, but don’t speak of it outside."
Madam Bai solemnly nodded.
Xiaohai spoke with full reverence:
"He is the King of Hell, Death God. A true deity!"
Madam Bai’s eyes slowly widened:
"Death God? Then, what are you?"
Xiaohai stood up, walked to an open space in the room, boasting:
"Me? I am the third Apostle under the Death God, the Three-headed Hellhound!"
Black smoke erupted from Xiaohai’s body, quickly filling every corner of the room.
A terrifying pressure descended, and Madam Bai’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock. Her heart pounded, her legs trembled, as fear closed in from all sides.
Madam Bai only knew Xiaohai was a powerful dog, but didn’t expect him to be this formidable!
A sharp giant claw stepped out from the black mist, revealing Xiaohai’s true form before Madam Bai.
With a colossal body, three ferocious canine heads, and tusks glinting in the cold light.
A voice like thunder echoed from the mouths of the hounds:
"Bring Asuka here."
"Oh, okay."
Madam Bai instinctively agreed.
She was about to step out the door when she remembered something and turned back to Xiaohai.
Madam Bai stomped on the Hellhound’s paw fiercely:
"Next time, if you dare to frighten me, forget ever getting on my bed again!"
"Madam, I understand!"
Xiaohai winced, apologizing repeatedly.
Madam Bai gave Xiaohai an annoyed look and walked out of the room.
...
Outside the door.
Terrifying black smoke seeped through the door cracks, casting ominous shadows over the entire Seimei Shrine.
Wolves howled at the sky.
Asuka watched the scene in panic.
What...what is actually happening here?
Did she offer poor hospitality and anger the Great Evil Demon King?
The room door opened, smoke billowed out, and the graceful figure cloaked in white fur emerged.
Madam Bai said:
"Come in."
"Oh, oh, yes!"
Asuka quickly bowed her head, taking small steps, and walked into the room.
As she entered, Asuka caught sight of the Hellhound’s terrifying, haunting body.
Asuka’s eyes widened; is this the true form of the Great Evil Demon King?
She bowed deeply, her entire being filled with submission.
Madam Bai stood right beside her.
Xiaohai looked at Asuka’s obedient form, her enticing figure, eyes tinted with lust.
Breeding the tribe is the instinct of the Three-headed Hellhound.
After spending a passionate night with the human-turned Madam Bai, he started developing a fondness for humans.
But with Madam Bai by his side, Xiaohai quickly swept away his chaotic thoughts to attend to the serious matter.
The Hellhound spoke with authority:
"From now on, I will protect the shrine, you need to build a statue for me."
Asuka grew excited:
"Yes! I understand!"
The Hellhound continued:
"This shrine is too shabby, empty, lacking attendants aside from you!"
Asuka showed a guilty expression:
"I’m sorry, Great Evil Demon King, I don’t have the money to hire people.
But I will work hard to earn money and make improvements to the shrine!"
The Hellhound said, satisfied:
"You do have some sense from your ancestors."
Asuka sharply lifted her head:
"Great Evil Demon King, do you know my ancestors?"
The Hellhound feigned a nostalgic look:
"That lad once knelt before my hall three days and three nights, begging me to assist his family’s descendants in their most difficult times.
I was moved by his sincerity, which is precisely why I appear here."
The number of comic books in this house is overwhelming.
Abe no Seimei, as one of East Sakura’s legendary Yin Yang Masters, has many comics about him.
Through the comics and the names ’Seimei Shrine’ and ’Asuka Seimei,’ the Hellhound managed to understand Asuka’s connection to Abe no Seimei.
However, he chose not to speak too much; talking too much risks revealing truths.
Being vague and ambiguous creates more credibility.
Following Li Yang for this period, Xiaohai did learn a few things.
Asuka’s pupils shook, her face filled with shock.
Unexpectedly, her ancestors had such a history!
Simultaneously, she was deeply moved by Abe no Seimei’s concern for his descendants.
Apparently, her ancestors knew the family would decline and paved a path for descendants before death.
The Hellhound’s eyes flashed:
"Let me first activate the Demonic Fox bloodline within you!
When the Demonic Fox bloodline within you is activated, you will be a true Witch!"
Legend has it that Abe no Seimei possessed Demonic Fox bloodline, thus being a powerful Yin Yang Master.
Asuka gazed at the Hellhound in disbelief:
"Are, are you serious?"
The Hellhound exhaled a mouthful of black smoke.
Li Yang taught him a few days ago how to precisely manipulate Spiritual Power.
It definitely comes in handy now.
Under the Hellhound’s crude infusion of Spiritual Power, Asuka’s Sea of Spirit was opened.
Asuka’s face was full of wonder.
She could feel something new within herself.
Is this, perhaps, the Mana of the legendary Yin Yang Masters?
