Two young men, one black and one white, stood in front of Qiao Xi, looked Qiao Xi up and down several times, and then the young man in black turned his head and looked at the young man in white with an incredulous expression.

The young man in white glanced at him, stretched out his hand to pull the person back, bent down slightly, and said with a very respectful attitude: "Excuse me, Lord Fengyue God." ”

Qiao Xi raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met the burning eyes of the young man in black, he followed the young man's line of sight, and caught a glimpse of Reiko Natsume in the arms of Yamabuki Otome.

He was silent for a moment before nodding his head, and at the same time responded:

"...... you?"

Knowing that he had not found the wrong person, the young man in white burst out laughing.

With such a smile, the originally expressionless facial features suddenly became vivid, and even with it, the slight gloom mixed with the aura instantly faded.

He naturally pulled the black-clothed young man behind him and said, "We are the messengers of Huangquan, and Lord Fengyue can call us Xiaobai and Xiaohei." ”

Qiao Xi: "......"

- I don't know these two names at all, and I haven't heard of them.

- And if you wear black, you will be called Xiaohei, and if you wear white, you will be called Xiaobai...... Your name is too perfunctory!

Xiao Bai turned his head sideways and glanced at Yabuki Otome, who was carefully hiding behind Qiao Xi, his eyes swept over Reiko Natsume in her arms, and realized that the yellow spring breath carried by the two of them was quite oppressive to the girl who was a ghost clan, and he didn't talk much nonsense, so he simply said his intentions: "We are entrusted by Lord Enma to come to you for help." ”

"Ha ......"

Qiao Xi let out an unclear exclamation.

- Lord Enma, I still don't know him.

But I've heard of it.

Born in the Yellow Springs and ruling over the underworld, the god responsible for judging the souls of the dead.

- However, it has no intersection with himself.

"So, may I ask you for any of the things that Xiaosheng needs help with?"

Qiao Xi didn't bother to think about things that he couldn't figure out, so he directly asked the questions he wanted to know.

"Lord Enma didn't tell us anything specific, but just asked us to take the Lord to Yellow Springs."

Xiao Bai said, paused, and explained with Qiao Xi's expression: "Lord Enma can't easily leave Huangquan because of his profession, so I can only ask you to go to Huangquan to see Lord Enma." ”

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay...... When? ”

Xiaobai glanced at Qiao Xi and said cautiously: "If you can, it's best to leave now." ”

"How long will it take?"

"This ......"

"Okay, got it...... Can you take the two of them with you? ”

Qiao Xi pointed to Yabuki Otome and Natsume Reiko.

Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment: "This ghost lady can, but the half-demon little lady can't." ”

"Tsk."

Qiao sighed and rubbed his chin a little distressed.

Seeing this, Yamabuki Otome knew that Qiao Xi was afraid of the two of them, so she opened her mouth softly: "My lord, just go to see Lord Enma, and the concubine can take Miss Reiko to Edo." ”

Qiao Xi wanted to sigh even more.

- It's not that he's unfounded.

There are really a lot of enemies in the Nura Group all the way from here to Edo, just with the not very good combat power of Yamabuki Otome, and with a half-demon who is despised and disliked by the monsters, even if she dares to go, he doesn't dare to worry.

Thinking so in his heart, he saw that Xiao Hei, who had not spoken, glanced at Yabuki Otome and said very straightforwardly, "Are you going to Edo?" You're too weak, and you're bound to be in danger if you go on your own. ”

Xiaobai: "......"

Qiao Xi: "......"

Yamabuki Otome blushed suddenly, remembering that she was sharpened by the hostile youkai of the Nura group, and she didn't know what to say.

Xiao Bai raised his hand to support his forehead, and then pulled him behind him again despite the aggrieved expression on Xiao Hei's face and said, "Don't speak." ”

Xiao Hei grasped the point with an innocent face: "It's not okay to speak to my brother in this tone!" ”

Xiaobai: "......"

He decided to ignore the colleague who often referred to himself as "Big Brother".

"If you don't mind, well, may I ask if you have any friends in this life who are worth entrusting, you can entrust the little lady to your friends for the time being."

Qiao Xi immediately thought of Sa Dou, and the only one who could be trusted and find the figure as quickly as possible was Sa Dou, so he tilted his head: "Yes, yes...... It's just not that close, and my other god envoy, Sadou-san, is in the Fengyue Shrine. ”

- Isn't it, he and Yamabuki Otome just left the shrine on a wad-way street.

If Reiko were to be sent back again, it would feel like she would have run away in vain.

When Xiaobai heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Hei, who was ignored, glanced at his younger brother's embarrassed expression, his eyes lit up, and he volunteered to raise his hand: "I can send the half-demon little lady to the adult's friend, and the adult and Xiaobai will go to see Lord Enma." ”

Several youkai looked at each other in a wave, and at the same time looked at Black, who had come up with the idea - although this guy seemed a little unreliable, the proposal was surprisingly reliable.

Qiao Xi agreed to Xiao Hei's proposal without much thought, but Xiao Bai hesitated.

——As a colleague who has worked with Xiao Hei for countless years, Xiao Bai knows Xiao Hei's personality very well.

He believed that Xiao Hei would be able to successfully send the half-demon to its destination - this is still a bit of a professional festival for Xiao Hei - but he was worried that Xiao Hei would make some moths in the process of sending it!

However, this worry is really unspeakable, Xiaobai was silent for a while, and finally agreed.

After getting Reiko, Qiao Xi looked at Yabuki Otome and asked, "What about you?" Do you want to go to Huangquan with Xiaosheng? ”

Yamabuki Otome looked at Qiao Xi, and then at the little Reiko who was carved in pink: "The concubine should take care of Miss Reiko with this little black adult." ”

Qiao Xi sighed with some regret: "I'll worry if you're alone, it's safer to fight together in the shrine." In that case, we'll have to wait for me to come back and take you to Edo again—but next time we'll be quicker. ”

Yamabuki Otome smiled shyly: "It's okay, the concubine has always been grateful to the adult." ”

After the decision was made, a few monsters didn't waste any more time, so they divided into two ways, one wave of Qiao Xi and Xiaobai went to Huangquan, and the other wave of Yamabuki Otome and Xiao Hei took Reiko back to Fengyue Shrine.

————————————————

Qiao Xi had been to Huangquan once before.

At the entrance, he saw a flower monster named "Yukikako" - and an unknown adult whose gender was male, and his personality was unknown.

After such a long time, Qiao Xi almost forgot about these two monsters, and this time he stepped into the Yellow Spring, and he recalled it again.

"Now, little Baisang, do you know that Mrs. Xingxiangzi on the shore of the Yellow Spring?"

Xiaobai opened his eyes in surprise: "Do you know Master Xingkako?" ”
