Chapter 1153: Chapter 104: You Want to Suppress the Yamata Orochi?
Opening his eyes to see the sun rising again the next morning, Huang Anshi felt as if a lifeti had passed.
When five of them, master and disciples, were thrown into the underground water prison, they thought they were done for.
They truly were defeated, completely no match for that demon, but fortunately, they spared them and didn’t silence them forever.
The Liusheng Dojo still provided a free breakfast. Seeing white stead buns even, the disciples, lacking in scheming, were much cheered, except Huang Anshi, who found the food tasteless.
Who eats big white buns in the morning? It feels like eating offerings…
“I rember I warned you all, it’s fine to perform the exorcism ritual, but you must never disturb the guests, disrupting the proper business of the dojo.”
Sakurai Sayuri didn’t look pleased, but it wasn’t to the point of wanting to kill them.
“Proper business?”
“Isn’t it considered proper business compared to you?”
Huang Anshi had no argunt to counter.
They weren’t just normally open, but also a well-established brand.
While on their side, they seed no different from so traveling scamrs.
But after thinking, he still tried to explain.
“Ms. Sayuri, last night it wasn’t our ini-…”
“I know, that’s why the dojo didn’t harm you, just let you take a bath to cool off.”
Huang Anshi’s mouth twitched.
Really wanted to say my last bit of valuable talisman paper dissolved, but didn’t dare to.
“As for that corpse demon spying on the dojo, we’ve already dealt with it. I know your intentions were good, but for demons of such level, we don’t need to spend money hiring outsiders.”
“Ahaha… we just added trouble to your estate.”
Huang Anshi could only laugh dryly.
“The Liusheng Dojo does not fear petty intruders, nor does it reject the goodwill of friends in the Jianghu world.”
Sakurai Sayuri nodded slightly, saying, “Whatever the case, you ca here to help. The family head specifically instructed us to treat you well in terms of food and lodging. And… if Master Huang is now worried about making a living, we do have another troubleso issue here, asking if you’re willing to take it on.”
Free als and even a job offer?
Huang Anshi was so touched he almost cried.
A good person, truly kind-hearted people. Those baseless suspicions of his yesterday, truly were judging a noble heart with a petty mind.
“May I ask what it is, please tell .”
“Does the master know of the origin of yesterday’s corpse demon?”
“What origin?”
“It’s a long story, back when the President sent troops to Fusang…”
A child without a mother, a long story indeed. (Literally)
After listening with his scalp tingling to the entire story’s ins and outs, Huang Anshi looked down to find that the white stead buns and millet porridge on the table were eaten by his silly disciples, not even a pickle was left.
Forget it, let it go.
If not for these disciples’ combined silliness, even the heavens couldn’t bear to see, how else could he have turned the danger into safety?
“Are you suggesting I suppress the Yamata Orochi?”
Why not ask to capture Monk Tang instead?
Sakurai Sayuri shot him a glare.
“The Yamata Orochi has long since fallen, but at its fall, its flesh and blood seeped into the land and wasn’t promptly cleaned up. Those people want to use evil techniques to refine its flesh and blood corpse, to summon the Yamata Orochi anew. Our dojo, because of so ancestral entanglents, is also forced to be involved.”
“As long as you can destroy their summoning ritual, thwart them completely, that’s sufficient. Their strongest opponent was only at the level of last night’s corpse demon. The family head says, if you can handle this matter properly, there will be a substantial reward from the dojo.”
“This isn’t about money. We Demon Hunters have always taken subduing demons and eliminating evil as our duty. Knowing such matters, there’s no reason not to act.”
Hearing that it wasn’t for him to suppress the Yamata Orochi, Huang Anshi felt much relieved.
And there’s a substantial reward… ugh! After eating their free als for so many days, helping them with a small matter is only right!
“This is the deposit.”
Sakurai Sayuri took out an envelope from her bosom, handing it to Huang Anshi with both hands.
Before Huang Anshi could speak, Ah Bao snatched it and opened it, exclaiming, “Wow! Master, two hundred US dollars!”
“Put it down! Don’t you know any manners!”
Disciples might be foolish, but sotis foolishness has its uses.
Huang Anshi’s frown eased, pretending to scold with a couple sentences, turning to Sayuri sincerely, “Previously we troubled you at the door, adding much hassle to your house. I didn’t expect the family head to bear no grudge, showing such kindness. Huang will not say much else, but this matter will surely be handled with utmost effort. It’s just that currently, the detailed intel regarding this group and the specific ti and place of the ritual aren’t known yet…”
“The night after tomorrow, at the rugged stone area of Dagu Port’s outer shore, the land is eerily crimson, sea waves washing it over for years but not dispersing, exactly where Yamata Orochi perished. At that ti, our Yagyu family will also send people there. If Master Huang still wants to gather more intel, you may wish to observe early and prepare.”
Hmm, ti is quite sufficient.
Now knowing the background and strength levels of those people, two days should be more than enough for a professional Demon Hunter. In between gathering materials, there’s even ti for a few rounds of Gwent, or catching a female magician for so pole practice…
Leading his disciples out of the Yagyu Association Hall doors, Huang Anshi looked up at the clear sky and bright sun, feeling exceptionally cheerful.
Though the process was a bit convoluted, the end result was favorable.
In any case, it counted as taking the first job through Tiann, and as long as he did it well, with a reputation established, naturally in the future…
Huang Anshi lowered his head, inadvertently glancing at a young woman walking towards him from afar.
Then he looked up at the sun.
It’s dayti, isn’t it?
When he lowered his head again to look, that young woman had already reached him.
Huang Anshi gritted his teeth, cold sweat trickling.
“Excuse , may I pass?”
“Sure, sure.”
She was just passing through, damn it…
Huang Anshi silently stepped aside, watching the black-clothed woman walk into the Yagyu Dojo’s doors.
Seeing ghosts in broad daylight!
Isn’t the situation in Tiann overly complicated?
In broad daylight, a dead person just walking around like that?
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Ah Xiang asked quietly, “Could it be that woman just now had corpse aura on her…”
“Don’t you dare talk nonsense!”
Huang Anshi swiftly covered Ah Xiang’s mouth, “A dozen buns can’t block your mouths? Daring to stroll around under the sun, that spirit…ugh! Immortal family, is not soone you can provoke! What corpse aura, that was perfu! Wearing perfu, capisce? Uneducated!”
