Chapter 48

King Macang Ye was on duty all night, and he stayed up until lunch, and his spirit was a little weak.

He closed the book he had consulted, looked at the Jade of the Four Souls placed in the sunken wooden box on the table, picked up the pen and drew a few runes on the white paper that exuded a pure aura, closed the box, and pasted the rune seal.

After clearly perceiving the slight changes in the spirit in the air around him, King Macang Ye put the box aside, stretched out his hand and picked up the little black dog that was clustered at the foot of the table.

Ao Ling opened his eyes in a daze, his four little short legs hung in the air and stroked, he was squinted by the courtyard in front of him and the afternoon sun, and turned his little head to look at King Macang Ye and whined twice in confusion.

King Macang Ye looked at the bright courtyard, and finally a little sunlight shone into his dark eyes, making his whole person look much brighter and gentler.

Ma Cang Ye King, who was about to throw the little monster out in his hand, felt the fluffy softness in his hand and the warmth of the puppy, and suddenly gave birth to a little softness in his heart, and put Ao Ling under the eaves of the porch smoothly, and then rubbed his warm velvet head.

He looked at the puppy whose eyes were comfortably narrowed, the corners of his lips raised, and he stood up, "I'm going to rest." ”

As an onmyoji, he would never keep a youkai by his side when he was resting - especially since this youkai didn't have any restraints on him.

Ao Ling snorted and flicked his little short tail to show understanding.

King Macang Ye felt a little interesting when he heard this little monster whining, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he asked with a slight smile: "Aren't you a dog demon, why don't you bark?" ”

Ao Ling was stunned for a moment, and the little short tail wagging behind his buttocks also paused, and then he opened his mouth and said "Wang" in a crisp and delicate voice.

The smile on King Macang Ye deepened, shook his head slightly, and closed the door.

Is...... I've never seen a monster like this.

Ao Ling watched the door close in front of him, moved his butt and rubbed it to a place where he could get the sun, sat for a while, and then fell back, with his four paws facing the sky, his head hidden in the shadow of the eaves, and he looked at the wind chimes hanging on the eaves with his eyes open and his little belly exposed.

After losing the Jade of the Four Souls, the cold taste of deep hunger once again entangles the soul.

Ao Ling shook his tail under his buttocks, and couldn't help but get a little bigger, trying to dispel the hunger and cold in his body by increasing the area of sunlight.

However, it is of no avail.

The hunger that had been slightly relieved by the Jade of the Four Souls had returned, and it seemed to be much more ferocious than before, as difficult to get rid of as maggots on tarsal bones.

Ao Ling also wanted to go out to forage for food now, but the truth was cruel, there were relatively few monsters during the day, and now he couldn't find anything to eat when he went out.

Not only that, but he had to stay in a city full of the sweet smell of humans.

- When I came back last night, I smelled a lot of darkness, but King Makura's mansion has an enchantment that isolates all the darkness, and unless it is allowed to enter by King Macang Ha, other darkness is not allowed to enter at all.

Ao Ling rolled over, and when his back was also hot, he finally couldn't hold back, stood up and jumped on the wall of someone's mansion, poked out half of his head and smashed his mouth, took a deep breath, and began to devour the free darkness in this city.

……

King Macang Ye slept unusually sweetly this night, and when he woke up, he seemed to have become a lot lighter along with the heavy burden in his heart.

He glanced at the hour, and was amazed at how he had slept from the previous afternoon to the next.

- He hadn't slept soundly like this in a long time.

King Macang Ye summoned Shishen to deal with the washing, glanced at the small cloud of jade that had been filled with clear air in the sunken wooden box after a night, and wrote a talisman seal, replacing the old talisman that was almost crumpled, before re-closing the box and pasting a new talisman.

At this time, Shishen sent breakfast again, and King Macang Ye had a rare good appetite and ate cleanly.

After dinner, he opened the door of the house, lowered his eyes and swept around and did not find the warm puffy puppy, and after a slight pause, he turned his head to look at Shikigami.

The white-clothed Shikin saluted, then turned around and led King Macang Ye to the backyard, pointing to a black pile of puppies on the backyard wall—and the darkness that had been condensed by the puppies and surging from all directions.

The darkness was so deep that in the faint light of the sky, it seemed as if it were about to take on a concrete form.

If there is an onmyoji of the Yin-Yang Liao here, it will definitely be necessary to directly summon the gods to retreat these evil qi.

But the puppy that condensed the darkness tilted its head, and its little pink tongue licked the darkness that was about to take shape one by one, and each time it was clear that the darkness seemed to have become much less, and then the fading darkness was immediately filled by another darkness.

King Macang Ye had indeed seen the evil aura emanating from Ao Ling's devouring of that nobleman once yesterday, but it was just one person, far less shocking than the darkness that almost covered the sky.

In fact, Ao Ling didn't expect the darkness in this place to be so deep, but he was also quite happy to have so much evil qi to eat—by the way, he had eaten a lot of youkai attracted by this strong evil qi in the past night.

King Macang Ye looked at the monster who was eating very happily in amazement, and after a while, he interrupted the other party's eating.

"Ling." He shouted under his breath.

Ao Ling snorted, retracted his little head that had poked out of the barrier, and jumped off the courtyard wall.

The darkness gathered by Ao Ling outside the barrier instantly dispersed, disappearing without a trace in the reflection of the first morning sun in the sky.

King Ma Cang Ye suddenly felt that his heart sank, and he no longer had the usual ease before.

He frowned slightly, looked at the place where the evil qi had gathered just now, looked at it for a moment, and finally withdrew his gaze.

- It seems that the darkness that was born in his heart was also caught by this little monster, but before he could stuff it into his stomach, he ran back again.

"Did you sleep well, King Ye!" Ao Ling, who was happy, flicked his tail happily, "How is the Jade of the Four Souls?" ”

"I slept well, and the jade of the four souls can only be raised in the simplest way for the time being." King Ma Cang Ye answered Ao Ling's two questions, looking at the black puppy's round belly, "Full?" ”

"No, but I don't feel as hungry as I am." Ao Ling smacked his lips, "There are so many evil qi that can be gathered here—after eating it all night, I feel that it is much better than the Jade of the Four Souls." ”

When King Macang Ye heard this, he smiled and narrowed, "This is Heianjing." ”

In this capital, the darkness born in the human heart is far more threatening than the existence of monsters.

Ao Ling, who couldn't understand the sarcasm implied in Onmyoji's words, tilted his head, "I don't need to look for food everywhere, it's good." ”

King Macang Ye smiled at the simple world in the little monster's heart, "I'm going to Yinyang Liao today, do you still want to go with me?" ”

After all, the question of wanting to ask Abe Qingming has been solved, and there is no need for this little monster to go to Yinyangliao with him.

But in my heart, King Macang Ye wanted to take this little monster with him.

"I'm not going." The black puppy spoke loudly, "Jade is here!" ”

After all, the Jade of the Four Souls must have someone to guard him to feel at ease, and the person who guards it is best to be himself.

King Macang Ye looked at Ao Ling, who flatly refused, "The Yin Yang Liao is very far from Ouchi, and you can eat enough evil qi." ”

"You can eat it here, too." Ao Ling was determined.

The white fan in the Onmyoji's hand shook slightly, "If you do this in my mansion, it will cause me trouble." ”

"Take a step back, can you go a day without eating until I come back and guard the Jade of the Four Souls?" King Macang Ye listened to Ao Ling's voice of being hungry, and his words were smiling.

"......" can't _(:зゝ∠)_.

Unless, as before, you can get the blood of the big monster every once in a while, or you always have the jade of the four souls by your side.

Under such a premise, Ao Ling can indeed stay without eating for a day or two.

But now there is obviously no such condition, especially now that he is gradually getting out of his childhood, the demand for demonic power has increased a lot.

For example, it is in the stage where a half-grown child eats a poor man.

Ao Ling currently doesn't have a senior who can provide him with enough flesh and blood with demonic power, so he can only rely on himself.

However, the heart and flesh of the feather-clothed fox turned into demonic power that filled the whole body overnight, and after being freed from the conscientious nurturing of the jade of the four souls, Ao Ling even had to squat on the wall to find a way to eat.

"But the jade of the four souls ......," Ao Ling hesitantly glanced back at the front courtyard.

"No one here knows about the Jade of the Four Souls." King Macang Ye hung the bat fan on his waist, leaned over to pick up the black puppy, and saw that the other party did not continue to object, so he took Ao Ling to Yinyang Liao.

……

As King Macang Ye said, the closer you get to Ouchi, the deeper the evil aura pervades the air.

Ao Ling was held in the arms of King Macang Ye, and happily put all the evil qi that he didn't know why was always sticking to King Macang Ye's body into his abdomen.

For the first time, King Asakura felt the tranquility of the early morning on the way to Ouchi.

The morning sun was rising, the early summer morning was peaceful and quiet, the air was still smelling of dew and grass, and the sound of insects had faded away, leaving only the sound of the wind and their own footsteps.

There are no more chattering and obscure voices in my ears, as if I am in a peaceful world.

King Macang Ye hugged the black puppy with a particularly happy open belly in his arms, turned a corner, and saw the door of the Yin Yang Liao.

The moment you step into the Yin Yang Liao, the evil spirit is clear.

Ao Ling smashed his mouth and looked up at King Macang Ye who was holding him.

King Asakura gently rubbed his belly, and looked up at the first person to arrive today - Abe Masahiro.

Abe Changhao looked at King Macang Ye on the line, and his scalp was numb when he was stared at by the other party's deep and dull gaze that seemed to see through everything, and hurriedly saluted and staggered his gaze, "Ma, Ma-sama ...... Makura"

King Macang Ye looked away, his gaze swept over the white monster lying on the young man's shoulder, and when he found that the other party was staring at the black puppy in his arms, he raised his hand and rubbed the little monster's head, blocking the monster's view, and turned around and walked into the dormitory.

Abe Masahiro breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at King Makura's hardness, and muttered, "That's ...... Youkai, right? ”

The white monster jumped off the young man's shoulder, sat on the ground and stretched out his hind legs to tickle, and glanced at the young man beside him, "That's a fierce beast, stay away from him." ”

"Okay." Abe Changhao responded, "But it looks cute, much cuter than you." ”

Monster: "......"

And the lovely fierce beast that has entered the liao is nesting in the arms of King Macang Ye at the moment, looking at the direction it came from.

After a while, he twisted his ass and looked up at King Ye of Macang who was tidying up his desk, "King Ye......"

Onmyoji stopped his movements and looked down at him, "What's wrong?" ”

The cute beast wagged its tail, "Can I eat that white thing?" ”
