"Lord Su."

As soon as Abe Yoshimasa saw Su Ziyu, he let out a sigh of relief, quickly approached, and said, "This afternoon a fire suddenly broke out here. By the time I brought people over, it was already like this."

Who set my house on fire?

Wait a minute.

This is just the place Abe no Seimei arranged for me, not really my home. If it burns, it burns.

Beside him, Qing Ji's expression instantly turned cold, her eyebrows furrowing in anger. With a stern face, she walked in and glanced at the six Snake Princesses standing pitifully in a line. She said in a firm voice, "Speak up! Who did it?"

The six Snake Princesses looked at each other, showing a surprising sense of camaraderie, as they all stepped forward simultaneously.

"Hmph! Not going to speak, huh!" Qing Ji huffed coldly, then said in a stern voice, "Just you wait, you'll see!"

Having said that,

She turned, full of apology, to look at Su Ziyu, speaking with a somewhat exasperated tone, "Husband. It's my failure in discipline, please punish me!"

She made a gesture to kneel, but Su Ziyu reached out to stop her.

"If it burned, it burned. At worst, we just find another place to stay." Su Ziyu shook his head and helped Qing Ji up, then turned to look at the six Snake Princesses standing in a line, seeing their soot-covered faces. They probably tried to put out the fire after discovering it, but the fire was already extinguished, and most of the place was burned.

Su Ziyu considered for a moment and said, "You really should teach them properly. They need to have some common sense."

"You all can stand up now."

"Let Qing Ji take you to change your clothes. Today, we'll just find somewhere else to live."

He found it a bit of a pity that the small courtyard he had been staying in so comfortably was burned down.

Scanning his eyes over the others, Su Ziyu noticed the Yin Yang Masters watching from nearby, their expressions filled with fear. They looked at Qing Ji and the others as if they were seeing something out of the ordinary. If not for Su Ziyu's presence, they might have already been driven away by the Yin Yang Masters.

"Ashiya Doman was counterattacked by the Dog Demon and turned into a demon. I've already eliminated him." Su Ziyu glanced at Abe Yoshimasa and instructed, "Find us another place to stay."

"We'll be leaving Kyoto in a while."

Upon hearing that Ashiya Doman had been eliminated, Abe Yoshimasa's expression was filled with pleasant surprise. He bowed and said, "Yes. I'll arrange it for you right away."

Su Ziyu's final sentence was directed at Abe no Seimei. In these extraordinary times, it's fine for Qing Ji to stay here temporarily, but if she stays for too long, they probably won't accept it, and the return of ordinary people will only create more chaos.

He must arrange a place for Qing Ji and the others.

Su Ziyu doesn't have much time left to stay in this world, so before leaving, he must find a way to settle Qing Ji in.

Night fell.

After moving to a new small courtyard, Su Ziyu was too lazy to watch Qing Ji reprimand the six Snake Princesses standing in a line along the corner. Instead, he went directly to see Abe no Seimei and asked him to make a modest request to the Fusang Imperial Family on his behalf.

Abe no Seimei immediately agreed to help and entered the Imperial Palace overnight.

The next day.

He came in early morning with good news, holding a document, and said, "Lord Su."

"There's a vacant shrine on Sakura Island."

"The land around it has now been assigned to you, so you can go there anytime you're ready."

"If it's not satisfactory, we can find somewhere else."

Knowing that Su Ziyu would soon be leaving Kyoto, Abe no Seimei became much more enthusiastic, completing everything overnight with diligence and dedication.

"Husband."

After seeing Abe no Seimei off, Qing Ji approached Su Ziyu and whispered, "Are we going to Sakura Island?"

"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "It's not convenient for them to stay in Kyoto, so might as well go to a quiet place."

"Of course."

"For now, there are still things to do, so we'll set off in a couple of days."

Over in the Netherworld, the situation should be stabilizing soon, and Su Ziyu is now just waiting for the main mission to be completed.

The day passed quickly.

Since experiencing a house being burned down once, Qing Ji now spends each day educating the six Snake Princesses well, not even sparing the fifth and sixth Princesses. Su Ziyu saw, as he went out, the fifth Princess squat at the corner playing with ants, spewing fire, and being hung up for a spanking, a scene rather inappropriate to witness, so he quickly averted his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Qing Ji also has the demeanor of a strict mother, managing to discipline the six Snake Princesses into obedience over these two days.

Ghost Capital.

When Su Ziyu returned, the order in the Netherworld was mostly restored. The spatial cracks near Rashomon have been gradually repaired, and the Fusang Imperial Family has contributed a substantial sum to rebuild the Vermilion Bird Dao.

"Lord Su! Long time no see!"

The moment he entered Ghost Capital, the voice of Aoandon came from behind.

Su Ziyu turned his head, his face expressionless, and gave her a glance, then nodded, "Are you employed by the Netherworld now?"

"No." Aoandon, still with her cheerful smile, shook her head and said, "Once things are settled, I'll also be leaving Ghost Capital."

"Lord Yama is setting the boundaries between humans and demons."

"In the future, all of us demons will have to move to a rift between the Yin and Yang Realms."

Hmm?

Su Ziyu stopped in his tracks and slowly asked, "Will they listen to you?"

"Those who won't will be caught and put in." Aoandon squinted slightly and smiled, "After all, it's for their own good."

It seems Yama is taking precautions.

"The Nine Lives Cat has already moved there first." Aoandon tilted her head, examining Su Ziyu, and softly said, "That hidden realm was discovered by the Nurarihyon. He's persuading other demons to move there."

They're planning to relocate all the demons near Kyoto.

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"

Aoandon hesitated briefly, then softly said, "The other demons are manageable, given the Nurarihyon has some prestige."

"But as for Jiutun Tongzi from Danbo Mountain, that's hard to say."

Jiutun Tongzi?

Su Ziyu glanced at her and then asked, "Has Lord Yama not prepared to deal with him yet?"

"Soon." Aoandon replied softly.

Jiutun Tongzi had gathered a group of evil ghosts and taken over Danbo Mountain. Su Ziyu had considered handling him in the past, but he was a famous Great Demon with many followers, and rash action was dangerous.

He has been waiting for Yama's move.

The main hall was right ahead.

As Su Ziyu arrived at the entrance of the main hall, he saw two figures in black and white—it was the Black and White Ghost Emissaries, but they were different from the ones he had met before, their faces somewhat unfamiliar.

"Lord Su."

"Lord Su." The Black and White Ghost Emissaries slightly cupped their hands in salute and then turned to leave the main hall.

Aoandon followed behind Su Ziyu, softly saying, "The Netherworld is currently short-staffed. Lord Yama likely will only have time to deal with Jiutun Tongzi after sealing the Yin and Yang realms."

Su Ziyu stopped and calculated the time, then said, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"If you can help me deal with those evil ghosts."

"I'll handle Jiutun Tongzi myself."

If they waited for Yama to handle Jiutun Tongzi after being busy, surely Su Ziyu's time would run out.

"Really?" Aoandon said with a wide smile, "If you are willing to help, that would be wonderful."

"I'll go inform Lord Yama right away."

Inside the main hall.

Su Ziyu didn't see Yama but did find a cheerful Blue Lantern, who was all smiles. She threw down the scepter she was holding and jumped off the throne, saying, "Aoandon, you're here!"

"I'm so bored!"

Then she turned to Su Ziyu and said, "Lord Su. Isn't it time for Abe no Seimei to die yet?"

"He should come and report to the Netherworld once he's dead, we're really short-staffed lately."

Su Ziyu was at a loss for words.

Unexpectedly, you still have the demeanor of a strict mother, and you've managed to discipline the six Snake Princesses very well over these last two days.
