Originally, Ibaraki was more powerful than Hanakaiin Xiuyuan, but at this time, the two of them were on par for a while.

Qiao Xi watched from afar, and only felt more and more interesting in his heart.

Two full days and one night had passed, and the armor conjured up by the demonic energy on Ibaraki's body was already a little tattered - he wouldn't be so embarrassed if he really said it.

However, last night, he carelessly let Hua Kaiyuan set up an unknown formation to suck all the demonic energy in his body, and almost capsized like that.

Simply Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan looked even more embarrassed than Ibaraki at this time, the original light-colored hunting clothes on his body were stained with mud mixed with the marks of blood and dried, not to mention, they had even been cut into wisps by the strong wind in the battle, and they hung on his body very unsightly.

In the end, Hua Kaiyuan half-knelt on the ground, and this time he really had no back hand.

The two days and one night of fighting had already made him mentally exhausted, and he just held on there, but now he couldn't hold it anymore.

- After all, he's just a human being, and he can't compare to the terrifying physique of the Great Youkai.

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan helplessly propped his hands on the ground to ensure that he would not directly lie on the ground, and then showed a smile at Ibaraki.

"I lost."

He said this once last night, and he said it on purpose to make Ibaraki let his guard down, but at this time, he said these syllables sincerely.

Ibaraki actually had some prostration.

There is not much demonic power left in the body, and although the body of a big monster is strong, it can't withstand the continuous attack of a powerful onmyoji.

He stood there, squinting his eyes slightly and looking down at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, for a long time, and then walked a few steps to the side and stood there with his eyes closed.

Hanakaiin Xiuyuan sat in place and slowed down for a while, only to feel the strength in his body gradually recover a little, he shook his arm, looked sideways at Ibaraki who was standing there, and was about to say something, when he saw Ibaraki snort again and then raised his feet and left.

Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan: "......"

Hanakaiin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, staring at Ibaraki's back for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Qiao Xi jumped down from the tree at this moment, and squatted in front of Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan with a smile.

"Bab, so miserable."

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan glanced at him, laughed, and said, "That Cizi Ji is really kind." ”

Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows.

- Kindness?

That's a great adjective.

He'd never heard anyone use the word "kind" to describe Ibaraki.

- Well, the title "Takikohime" can be skipped.

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at Qiao Xi, but he didn't say a word.

Qiao Xi looked at the smile on his face, couldn't help but "tsk", raised his hand to take out a wine jug from his arms and threw it into his arms, and hummed: "Such an embarrassed appearance is really unpleasant to look at." ”

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to open the wine jug, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed deeply, and then directly bit the spout and poured the wine into his mouth and drank it.

After a few sips of wine, the comfortable gentle aura gradually spread out from the limbs of the body, and Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh, and then fell directly backwards and collapsed himself on the ground.

Qiao Xi stood up from the ground and swept his gaze from the surroundings.

The red maple forests here still exist, just as they did before they came.

One by one, the maple leaves were red as if they were stained with blood, and they were piled on top of each other, and a thick layer was spread on the ground, so when I looked up, the sky was full of bright red.

The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth gradually filled with a smile, and such a pure smile that had no meaning other than a slight pleasure fell into the eyes of Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, who was lying on his back on the ground, making him a little stunned for a while.

After a long time, he heard the young man sigh with a smile.

"Only this red maple forest, no matter how much time has passed, is still here."

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan turned his head to look around with Qiao Xi's words, and couldn't help but laugh too.

- The barrier that shrouded over this red maple forest still stands here.

In this world, I am afraid that there is only one clear that can make such an enduring enchantment.

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan thought like this, and there was no loss of defeat in his heart at all.

On the contrary, he was in a particularly uplifted mood at this moment.

He hadn't felt this way in years.

Like a child about to unravel a mystery, his heart is full of excitement and anticipation and longing for the future.

Ibaraki is a very good yokai to hook up with in some ways.

As long as you have the power to make him recognize, then he will sincerely treat you as his equal.

- It's just that in general, there are too few people or youkai who can have the power that Ibaraki recognizes.

Akimoto also became one of them after this day.

The sun gradually sank in the west, and Qiao Xi smiled and sent an invitation to Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan: "Now, it's already dusk, with your current state, I'm afraid it's not particularly safe to go back alone." ”

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan stood up from the ground with difficulty, shook it, and then looked down at the rags hanging on his body, and looked up at Qiao Xi very helplessly:

"Well, don't mention this, before that, may I ask Qiao Xisang if there are any clothes that can be used to cover his body?"

Qiao Xi couldn't help but smile, his eyes swept over Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan, pretended to cough, thought for a while, and shook his head very regretfully.

"Ahh

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan touched his nose melancholy, and wanted to cry without tears in his heart.

- Could it be that he wants to return to Kyoto with such a look?

I'm afraid it's going to be big news in Kyoto tomorrow, right?

He wiped his face and couldn't help but cast a very expectant look at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi finally couldn't hold back and laughed loudly while holding her stomach.

When he had laughed enough, he said that although he didn't have spare clothes, he could use his magic power to help him repair his clothes to their original appearance for the time being.

Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan couldn't help but be grateful and depressed in his heart.

————————————————

When Qiao Xi slowly swayed back to the house, Ibaraki was already lying on the roof.

He easily sent Hanakaiin Xiuyuan to Hanakaiyuan's house before coming back - after all, Hanakaiin Xiuyuan is really not in a good state at this time, and it is the time of dusk and demons, although Kyoto has always been very safe, but it can't stand it in case something gets mixed in with a monster that happens to run into Hanakaiin Xiuyuan, who is already at the end of the crossbow.
