Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 43: One White Six Green


The space rift of the Ghost Capital has been mostly repaired.

Su Ziyu waited for quite a long time but did not see Yama return, so he had to bid farewell and return to the Mortal World. Aoandon mentioned she would inform Yama about the matter of Jiutun Tongzi and invited Su Ziyu to visit the gap whenever he had the time. In her words, that space between the Yin and Yang realms somewhat resembles a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land of Central Earth, and for demons, practicing there might be much easier than outside.

Time passed by day by day.

As the day of departure drew nearer, Su Ziyu's attitude towards Qing Ji became increasingly gentle. This change filled Qing Ji with great joy, making her believe she had finally touched his heart.

Su Ziyu did not know if what he was doing was right, but he did not want to treat her coldly in their last moments together.

Abe no Seimei grew older day by day.

When he saw him again, Abe no Seimei astonishingly needed the support of his two sons just to move around easily. This most renowned Yin Yang Master of the Fusang era was about to leave the stage, and as death approached, he finally felt some fear. He brought gifts to visit Su Ziyu and discreetly inquired whether the promise Yama made back then still held.

The space rift of Rashomon had already been repaired.

Ordinary Yin Yang Masters could no longer freely enter the Underworld, and even Abe no Seimei lost that ability. Now, only Su Ziyu could freely enter and exit the realms of Yin and Yang.

After receiving Su Ziyu's affirmation, Abe no Seimei finally left at ease.

He had to go back and make preparations for his own affairs.

Su Ziyu guessed he wouldn't be around to attend Abe no Seimei's funeral, so he could only offer a slight silent tribute in his heart.

Night fell.

Accompanied by the sound of a cat meowing outside the courtyard, Su Ziyu stood up fully dressed, and upon opening the door, he saw the Nine Lives Cat on the wall, her expression somewhat fearful. She did not enter the courtyard but stood on the wall and said, "Lord Yama has already gathered the personnel, and we can act at midnight tonight."

Su Ziyu nodded gently, "I understand."

After delivering the message, the Nine Lives Cat scampered away, seemingly a bit afraid of Qing Ji.

Do cats fear snakes?

"Husband." Qing Ji's gentle footsteps came closer. At some point, she had dressed neatly, holding the White Paper Umbrella in her hand, and softly asked, "Is it tonight that we take action?"

"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded, having mentioned this to Qing Ji a few days ago.

Qing Ji hesitated slightly and whispered, "Then might I accompany you tonight? After all, Jiutun Tongzi is a well-known Great Demon and may not be easily dealt with."

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

As the words fell.

He suddenly saw six beautiful heads emerging from behind Qing Ji. Soon, the figure of one sister was pushed forward by others, and she nervously said, "Elder Sister! Lord Su! Let us go along today as well."

"We are quite formidable too."

Qing Ji frowned slightly at these words, intending to turn back and reprimand her sisters.

But she saw Su Ziyu looking thoughtful, then slowly answered, "You can come. It's a good chance for you to train. But you must not act recklessly or on your own accord."

The six Snake Princesses were still as childish as kids. The fifth sister, after so many days, still liked to poke anthills for no reason.

Just the other day, Su Ziyu saw her sneaking off to steal bird eggs, only to give them to the sixth sister to eat raw.

She ended up receiving a good beating from Qing Ji for it!

If she dared to feed the sixth sister inappropriately again, Qing Ji was prepared to string her up for another beating.

Upon hearing Su Ziyu's response, the six Snake Princesses were overjoyed and slithered out one by one, presenting a rather formidable presence, except for the sixth sister who, at some point, stealthily took some snacks, her cheeks puffed out, looking somewhat goofy.

Among the six Snake Princesses, the fifth and sixth sisters had the most issues.

The fifth sister had a strong destructive urge, while the sixth sister would eat anything given to her. Qing Ji was particularly worried about these two sisters going astray, so she was usually strict in her discipline. Once, Su Ziyu came back to see Qing Ji tutoring the sixth sister alone, and although he didn't hear the beginning, he did hear one sentence: 'You must not eat people, absolutely must not eat people.'

Alas.

Having these six sisters would likely give Qing Ji a headache for quite some time, but once he left, she hopefully wouldn't feel so lonely anymore.

Vermilion Bird Dao.

Su Ziyu led the way, with Qing Ji half a step behind him. She wore a white cloud-patterned long dress, her beautiful black hair cascading to her waist, adorned with jade pendants on her head, which Su Ziyu had casually bought the other day. Qing Ji treasured it immensely, though why she chose to wear it today was unknown. Behind them, the six snake princesses lined up because, lacking the ability to take a human form, their long, slender, blue-green tails slithered and swayed across the street. They had been quite well-behaved, resisting the urge to run wild for such a long time, so various onlookers curiously peered around. At some point, the first sister had acquired a green paper umbrella, and she walked proudly at the front of her sisters, occasionally turning to glare at the lagging fifth sister.

Trailing behind Su Ziyu were one white and six green Great Demons.

Their presence was enough to scare off ghosts and gods!

Let alone anyone else, even Abe Yoshihiko, in charge of keeping watch tonight, was too intimidated to approach, offering his respects from afar with a deep bow.

"Lord Su truly is a divine being!"
