Under the leadership of Hotaru, Xia Ruo, Tsubaki, and Kikyo arrived in the City Lord's Mansion.

It may be that the city lord is seriously ill, the entire city lord's mansion looks lifeless, even the faces of the guards are not very good-looking, and the people around him have gloomy faces.

After all, Hotaru is the daughter of the city lord, and the city lord has no other children, and when the city lord is seriously ill, Hotaru is the same, and when she arrives at the city lord's mansion, Hotaru also bows slightly to Tsubaki and Kikyo.

"I hope Miko-sama will be able to save my father."

"Okay, please Miss Hotaru take me to meet the city lord."

Lifting the curse, Tsubaki is the best at it, Kikyo stays with Xia Ruo and Tom, and Kaede, while Tsubaki is led by the guards to meet the city lord who is critically ill because of the curse.

"Lord Castle, the shrine maiden has brought," one of the guards asked into the castle lord's room.

"Bring it in."

"Yes."

Led by the guards, Tsubaki slowly walked to the castle lord's room, and then she saw the castle lord lying on the ground, dying.

This city lord's body is full of dead energy, and it looks like he has been cursed for a long time, and if the curse is not lifted, he probably won't live for half a month.

Tsubaki took a look at it and analyzed the situation at this time.

However, Tsubaki quickly frowned again, because she also felt an aura very similar to her own curse on this city lord's body, and it disappeared in a flash, exactly like the girl named Hotaru outside.

Tsubaki's eyelids moved, and there was no expression on her face.

"Miko-sama, can this curse be lifted?" The castle lord's face was already rotten because of the curse, so he wrapped it in strips of cloth so that he couldn't even see it.

"Yes."

Tsubaki replied lightly, and then the silver python-like god on his body appeared, and bit the city lord's body, as if he had sucked something from the city lord's body, and soon, in Tsubaki's eyes, the dead air on the city lord's body dissipated.

……

The City Lord's illness was cured, the curse disappeared, and the atmosphere in the entire City Lord's Mansion became better, and the dark clouds that had previously shrouded the City Lord's Mansion dissipated.

In order to thank the witch who saved his life, the city lord specially set up a banquet for Tsubaki and Xia Ruo and others.

"Thank you Tsubaki Witch for your help, otherwise the curse on my body will probably torture me to death."

Although the bandages on the face of the city lord sitting above have not been removed, the tone and movements of his speech look similar to that of a normal person, but his tone is still a little weak.

After Tsubaki heard this, he didn't respond.

At the banquet, the city lord said a lot of polite words, but Xia Ruo didn't hear anything, because the girl Hotaru had been sitting next to Xia Ruo, and her body was already half leaning on Xia Ruo's body.

"Lord Xia Ruo, come, do you like to eat this?" With a gentle smile on her face, the girl Hotaru kept giving Xia Ruo vegetables, and from time to time she made physical contact with Xia Ruo.

During this time, Hotaru often looks at Tsubaki's position, as if she is provoking, as if she is deliberately provoking Tsubaki.

"I'll come by myself, just come by myself," Xia Ruo wanted to push Hotaru away, but she grabbed her arm and couldn't shake it off.

The movements of the firefly leaning on her side became more and more excessive, but Xia Ruo felt more and more uncomfortable, it was the kind of physical discomfort, as if the body automatically felt the danger and was rejecting this woman.

This firefly really doesn't look like a human.

Not to mention the body's reaction to danger, as a girl, she didn't even look at Tom next to Xia Ruo, as if there was only Xia Ruo in her eyes, this kind of infatuation, Xia Ruo was already vigilant against her to the extreme.

Tsubaki, who was on the other side of Xia Ruo, didn't say a word, as if he hadn't seen it.

also turned a blind eye to Xia Ruo's eyes for help.

The city lord looked at Xia Ruo, took a glass of wine, and then laughed.

"I heard that this boy saved my daughter, and my daughter happens to be interesting to you, since you can save my daughter under the hands of the monster, I think you are also a powerful swordsman, young man, how do you see my daughter, why don't you stay and marry my daughter, I don't have a son, when the time comes, this city can be given to you."

"Father," Hotaru looked shy when she heard this, but she still secretly glanced up at Xia Ruo, wanting to see Xia Ruo's answer.

"Huh?"

Kikyo puts her eyes on Tsubaki's face to see how Tsubaki reacts, but she finds that Tsubaki doesn't lift her eyelids as if she hasn't heard anything.

Want me to be a son-in-law in this broken city? Married to a youkai?

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to get married now," Xia Ruo directly stood up and refused, and at the same time, in Hotaru's disbelieving eyes, shook off her hand.

"Miss Hotaru, men and women don't kiss."

"You're rejecting me!"

Hotaru's eyes changed, the simple eyes just now became deep, she didn't expect that power, money, and beauty were all placed in front of this man, but he still refused, which she didn't expect at all before.

Generally speaking, with their own appearance, as long as they give a little sweetness, a man will surrender, right, why is this so?

Did the plan fail?

Hotaru was a little unwilling, the resentment in her eyes flashed, and her hand slowly approached Xia Ruo again, "Lord Xia Ruo, I ......"

Swish!

A light suddenly erupted from Tsubaki's body, and her Shikijin silver python arrived in front of Hotaru in an instant, opened her mouth wide, and bit Hotaru's throat, but in an instant, Hotaru's head was bitten off by the python, and she flew up directly and rolled down a few laps on the ground.

Hotaru is dead.

It's just that at the moment when Hotaru's head was bitten off, in the depths of Hotaru's eyes, there was a hint of pride in the success of the plan.

"That's enough," Tsubaki said indifferently, and walked over to the headless corpse, looking at the girl who had just been killed by herself.

"Youkai, it's time to act."

……

"Huh?"

The corpse on the ground is still in the shape of a human body, and there is no change, let alone the monster body as imagined.

"Ahhh

Screams rang out, and guards rushed in.

Kaede on the side saw that Tsubaki had killed someone, and immediately hid behind Kikyo, "Sister, Miss Tsubaki killed someone." ”

"Don't worry, take a look again," Kikyo frowned and looked around, she also had an uncomfortable feeling after coming to this city, but the current scene was indeed Tsubaki killing someone, and at the banquet, he killed the daughter of the city lord.

Kikyo couldn't help but put his hand on the bow and arrow he was placing aside.

However, in Xia Ruo's eyes, just after Hotaru died, there was a white air whirlwind that married the city lord, and Xia Ruo found that no one seemed to see it except himself.

This plot is three dozen white bone spirits?

……

"You actually killed my daughter!" The castle lord roared and looked at Tsubaki angrily.
