Once the crying in the room subsided, Jiang Wen sought out Li Mu to express his request.
He asked Li Mu to accompany him to the shrine, and after the two arrived by car, Li Mu realized how desolate the area was.
"Demon Bone, can you sense the presence of demons by their aura?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Of course, no problem, this is my specialty," Demon Bone said without any modesty.
The group entered the shrine and saw a person sitting quietly inside.
Li Mu was startled, but after hearing Jiang Wen's explanation, he calmed down slightly.
"Is he also one of the Takeo Zaibatsu's men?" Li Mu asked curiously, looking at Takeo Uemoto.
"Yes, but he's one of us now," Jiang Wen nodded in response, then had Demon Bone tentatively probe for the aura of Wang.
Demon Bone emerged from Li Mu's hand, sniffing the surrounding air like a dog.
After circling the shrine, it finally stopped at the statue.
Demon Bone remained silent for a long time, until Jiang Wen broke the silence.
"How is it? Did you sense Wang's presence?"
"Strange, I can't sense the source of that demon's aura, it's very strange," Demon Bone said, puzzled.
"Clearly the demon's aura is there, but I can't sense where it is."
"Being able to cut off aura and perception like this, in my memory, only Lord Akakui can do it," Demon Bone said.
"Only Akakui can do it? In that case, there's probably more than one of Akakui's organs in Kyoto," Jiang Wen said definitively.
"Since there's no news here, then we can only follow another path."
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already dusk.
After confirming that he would follow the girl to meet Takeo Wang the next day, Jiang Wen told Li Mu to pay more attention to her.
"My relationship with her isn't what you think, Brother Jiang," Li Mu said helplessly.
"No matter what, you brought her back, you have to take responsibility," Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"To those who are capable, more work is given."
In the end, the young man could only keep a straight face and helplessly walk into the room.
Jiang Wen stood on the balcony of the room, listening to the sounds of cars honking.
Hearing Li Mu and the girl's awkward conversation, he suddenly felt that this time was not bad.
"Would you like me to keep you company, my lord?" Bai Jing whispered in his ear, her voice full of charm.
Jiang Wen rubbed her head and was about to say something when his phone rang.
After answering, he heard Kamimoto Katsura's sobbing voice on the other end.
"Please, help me."
… …
Jiang Wen rushed to the Kirei Shrine and walked straight into the shrine, looking at the clean courtyard.
Pushing open the door, he saw the girl named Kamimoto Katsura and the Child of Bai Ze.
They were kneeling beside an old woman, who was lying on the ground with a pale face.
Hearing the movement, the other party turned her head and looked at Jiang Wen with red eyes: "You, can you help me?"
"What happened?" Jiang Wen frowned and asked.
Kamimoto Katsura told him what had happened, and after hearing it, Jiang Wen carefully looked at the old woman.
"You saw Grandma lying on the ground as soon as you came back?" Jiang Wen asked, narrowing his eyes.
Xiao Bai said that Grandma's soul was lost, and it would be useless even if she was sent to the hospital.
Only by finding Grandma's soul can she be saved.
So, so I thought of you.
You are so capable, you can definitely save Grandma, right?"
Jiang Wen didn't reply immediately, but checked the old woman's condition.
Just as she said, the old woman had indeed lost her soul, and the whole person was in a state of corpse.
If it were a few days later, I'm afraid her life would be in danger.
"Do you have any personal belongings that your grandma usually wears?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Yes," Kamimoto Katsura nodded quickly, and hurriedly took out the things that the old woman liked the most from the house.
Jiang Wen took the thing, held it in his hand and felt the luck on it.
Then he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Bai Jing, protect me."
"Okay," Bai Jing nodded and jumped off Jiang Wen's neck.
She transformed into a huge white fox, instantly occupying most of the shrine.
The white fur floated in the wind, surrounding Jiang Wen.
Kamimoto Katsura stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes.
This scene, which only appears in myths, really shocked her.
Although Xiao Bai usually said how powerful she was, she was still just a puppy-like pet, which didn't inspire any awe.
Now seeing the process of the white fox's transformation, she realized what the mythical auspicious beast looked like.
Kamimoto Katsura had even more respect for Jiang Wen, after all, being able to drive a divine beast like the white fox, his identity must be noble.
She knelt on the ground and bowed to Jiang Wen, then silently prayed.
"Please, be sure to save Grandma."
Following the causal clues, Jiang Wen's spirit left his body and looked down on the entire Kyoto.
In the distance, a faint thread was connected to the thing in his hand.
That was where the old woman's soul was taken away, and it was also in this Kyoto.
Jiang Wen was about to go and see the situation clearly, but he thought that he didn't know how many remnants of Akakui existed in this Kyoto.
If he went there in the form of Yang God, it would be risky and troublesome.
Then he returned to his body and looked at Kamimoto Katsura, who was looking forward to it.
"I roughly know where your grandma is, but if I save your grandma, I will be stained with karma.
What will you use to repay me?" Jiang Wen asked Kamimoto Katsura calmly.
Kamimoto Katsura was stunned when she heard this, then looked down at her hands.
The Kirei Shrine has already declined, and there is not much money left at home.
She and her grandma usually save money on food and clothing, and can only satisfy their desire for food materially.
There is nothing left to repay.
"I, I don't know what to repay you with," Kamimoto Katsura gritted her teeth and said.
"If you don't mind, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life.
As long as you can save my grandma."
Jiang Wen glanced at the girl in the shrine maiden's costume and couldn't help but smile.
He looked around the shrine and finally fixed his gaze on her.
"Okay, I promise you," Jiang Wen said.
"Hey! How can you do this!" Bai Qing was a little anxious, and ran towards Jiang Wen with her short legs and shouted.
"You are forcing a girl! She is only in high school! How can you be so beastly!"
"Katsura, don't agree to him! You are still so young!"
"Xiao Bai, don't say it.
This is all my own free will," Kamimoto Katsura said seriously, looking at Bai Qing.
"Grandma is my only relative, I can't watch her die like this."
"… …" Bai Qing didn't know what to say, she understood what grandma meant to Kamimoto Katsura.
"But, it can't be like this… …"
"What's wrong? I didn't ask her to dedicate herself," Jiang Wen said.
"I just asked her to serve me for the rest of her life, is this a harsh request?"
"Isn't it harsh?!" Bai Qing said indignantly.
"It's just that you misunderstood," Jiang Wen looked at Kamimoto Katsura and smiled.
"What I mean is that from now on, the statue in this shrine will be replaced by mine.
And she needs to worship me for the rest of her life."
"What?!" Kamimoto Katsura and Bai Qing said in surprise at the same time.
"You heard me right, from now on, my statue will be enshrined here.
Named — Shennong."
