Chapter 158 Ceremony (2)

  Boom boom!

  The sound of feet stepping on the floor, someone quickly approached the room along the corridor.

  Although the chest is already so angry that it is about to explode, you must try your best to restrain your anger, so as not to accidentally blow up the whole house.

  Before opening the door, be mentally prepared.

   What she was thinking in her heart was that it would be appropriate to chop up those dogs and men who dared to steal without her permission.

  Wow——She opened the door violently, not caring whether the material of the door could withstand her force. In short, when the door was opened, a terrible crack appeared on the door wall.

  Because of Liuli's rough action when she entered the door, the two people in the room were startled.

  However, the imaginary ugly scene did not develop into reality. It is better to say that the two of them were very honest and responsible in the room.

  Ayane just sat on the edge of the bed with a chair, and didn't even get up on the bed. The clothes were neatly put on her body, and there was no sign of mess.

  She took a spoon and fed Shiraishi hot rice porridge, as if she was taking care of the patient carefully.

  Liuli couldn't see anything on her face, she was not so much angry as she was using her aura to frighten the people in the room.

   "I just remembered that Shiraishi-kun was at home alone, so I just came over to deliver some lunch. But I didn't do anything... Are you angry?"

  Ayane put down the spoon and the bowl containing the hot rice porridge, and spoke to Liuli in a calm tone.

   "No. I just think that when you come over, you can tell me in advance. And it doesn't take so long to feed."

  Ruri also responded with the same tone.

  Although it was just a normal communication, Shiraishi could feel the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

   "Regarding this, Mr. Baishi's kindness is really hard to refuse, and he has been pulling me away. I am also very distressed about this kind of thing, so I stayed for a while."

   Ayane said with a smile.

   "Didn't you just stay here and not leave?"

   "Is there such a thing? Mr. Baishi, a man is not allowed to lie to a woman."

   Ayane tilted her head, showing a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what Shiraishi was talking about.

   "Okay, Liuli, nothing really happened to us. You take her out, I want to be alone for a while."

   Baishi rubbed the space between his brows, feeling very troubled by the stiff atmosphere.

   The more Ayane was asked to describe, the worse the ending felt.

  This woman can do it without changing her face in her ability to turn black and white.

  As long as you are a little bit ashamed, you will never say a word of the truth.

   Moreover, now that he finally catches a cold, he can relax and rest for a day, but he doesn't want to be so stiff that he can't rest quietly because of this kind of thing.

  Just consider me as a wounded person before coming here. Shiraishi looked at Ayane with complaining eyes.

   Rather than making Liuli angry, it is better to say that he deliberately made him rest bad.

   And the source of this resentment, Shiraishi can probably understand.

  So, a sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

  While Baishi was thinking about these things, Liuli over there took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter if you continue to chat alone here, I'm not so stingy yet."

  Leaving this sentence aside, he walked out of the room, with the same cold attitude as usual.

  It’s just that, about ten seconds after Liuli walked out of the room, boom—

  The entire room, no, the entire house built on the ground, as well as the foundation under the house, received an extremely terrifying shock.

  Amidst the screams of panic, the whole house tilted thirty degrees. As the wounded, Baishi rolled down from the bed in a state of embarrassment, and lay on the ground on all fours.

   "What are you doing—"

  Before he finished speaking, there was a vibrating sound from above.

  Shiraishi looked over his head with a premonition.

  The ceiling cracked a huge hole, and stones fell from above.

  The whole house was reduced to ruins.

  Shiraishi and Ayane were directly buried by a large number of stones.

  Passing by here, the old man walking the dog turned his head to look at the collapsed house, and then continued to walk the dog with a calm expression.

  The dog barked twice.

  ◎

  Blowing the cold wind all afternoon, and moving into a new single-family villa at night, Baishi felt that his cold was a little worse.

  The plan to use the cold to recuperate fell through, but the turmoil in the afternoon passed, and I could finally be quiet at night.

   Let’s take a break tomorrow too, to make up for the regret of not being able to take a good vacation today.

   However, when he was sleeping at night, Shiraishi found that Liuli by his pillow was staring at him without blinking.

   In the eyes like a deep lake, there is an icy color that makes Shiraishi's back feel cold.

   "Liuli, what's wrong?"

  Baishi felt a little thumping in his heart.

  Because of the deepening of the cold, he speaks with a strong nasal voice.

   "I'm thinking about whether to strangle you to death with my hands now."

   Ruri said in a cold tone.

  Don't say such terrible things at night. Baishi felt even colder in his heart, as if the chilly ice and snow had melted into his bones, that biting cold feeling.

  When Shiraishi was about to answer, his waist was suddenly twisted severely.

"it hurts!"

  Shiraishi couldn't help shouting, suppressing his voice.

  Even though he just touched the painful waist with his hands, Shiraishi could feel that it had turned blue.

   It's true.

   Just as Baishi was about to say something, Liuli moved her body and sat on Baishi's body, with the nails of both hands sunk deep into Baishi's neck.

   "Why can't you take care of your lower body?"

   "I am sincere to you, you are the best woman."

   Shiraishi hurriedly said.

  This sentence is the truth, and it is also a speech from the heart.

   "Ayane too?"

"Well…"

   It's hard to say.

   But think about what is wrong with men being lustful? I just don't want to disappoint anyone's love.

   After all, as men and women, they have grown up, and they will not be as secretive about their feelings as they used to be.

   To me, they are all unique existences.

  It is possible to die for them.

  Although I thought the same in my heart, but after I said it out of my mouth, I felt that something terrible would happen.

   "If you lie to me, I will never spare you lightly. I will kill you."

"I did not lie to you."

   "What about Ayane?"

  Ten fingers are getting harder and harder.

   There appears to be blood on the nail.

   "It seems that you have no excuses to make, so I will kill you tonight."

  The murderous intent was revealed.

  At first, Baishi thought that Liuli was joking, but at this moment he realized that Liuli didn't seem to be joking with him, but for real.

  The sound of wind and snow outside seems to be louder.

  …

  When I woke up in the morning, the stove was still burning. Unlike the cold outside, it was warm here.

   Shiraishi's cold is still not healed, and there are very serious dark circles around the eyes.

  The woman who was sleeping with him was not wearing any clothes. She also opened her eyes at this moment, exhaled a scent of hot air, and asked in his ear, "How many times were you 'killed' by me last night?"

   "..."

   My whole body is sore and I don't want to talk.

   Seeing that Shiraishi didn't answer, he also knew that he was too overworked at night and seriously lacked sleep time.

   But even so, Liuli didn't mean to pity him, but used a ruthless attitude to destroy his body as much as he wanted.

   "Almost thought he was really dead."

  After a long time, Shiraishi sighed wearily.

   "It's best for a man like you who is in two boats to die."

   Liuli gave him a cold look, and ignored the man's complaints.

  This man is the same as that white-eyed woman, a dog can't utter a word of truth.

   They all learn to be bad together.

   Shiraishi did not refute, yes, he is a despicable man.

  He turned around, held Liuli's body in his arms, and stroked her belly with one hand.

   "I didn't take safety measures yesterday, will I get pregnant?"

   "Don't worry, the day the child is born, I will kill the man who cheated on you."

   "Don't kill, kill, kill, always say this kind of thing will bring misfortune."

"I hate you."

   Shiraishi hugged Liuli even tighter in his arms, letting her sideways head lean against his chest.

   "Then hate me forever, but I will love you forever."

   Liuli didn't know whether to be happy or angry. If he had been locked in the basement of his home and not allowed to go out when he was a child, there wouldn't be so many things.

  So, he opened his mouth, and bit down **** Baishi's bare arm with his teeth.

  ◎

  The night when the festival comes.

A new year begins.

  The weather becomes colder in January, but the atmosphere in the city can drive away the cold and bring a warm atmosphere.

  Speaking of which, the New Year's Eve Festival in the Oni Land is really very different from Konoha.

  Konoha’s Grand Festival, to put it bluntly, did not have any special events worthy of praise.

   It’s nothing more than going out to go shopping and eat, watch some excitement, and some juggling that I don’t know which country is copied from it. While making others laugh, it also makes Shiraishi feel that Konoha lacks his own cultural heritage.

  Even the Land of Fire has large-scale sacrificial activities. The daimyo specially invites the authentic monks of the Temple of Fire to hold activities in the capital.

  In Baishi’s view, a unique culture is not only to deepen people’s belief in a certain existence, but also to strengthen people’s cohesion and sense of identity with the ‘organization’.

  Although Konoha is a ninja village in the Kingdom of Fire, it never holds ritual activities for monks. In a sense, Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire have different beliefs.

   Not just Konoha, but also other ninja villages and countries.

  From this point of view, Ninja Village and the country are a long-term and relatively effective contract, or an alliance of interests, rather than co-governance, and there is no unity of power.

  The country of ghosts is an unknown country. The military power, political power, and economy of the country of ghosts are all controlled by the witch herself.

   It can be seen that this country has its own charm for witches, or for mysterious culture, instead of imitating things from other countries and holding them at the most important festival of the year.

  On the main road of Ziyuan City, in addition to the pedestrians in normal clothes, there were also many people in strange clothes, surrounded by the lively atmosphere of the festival.

  Compared to this, Shiraishi, Liuli, and Ayane, who just wore masks to cover their faces, were mixed in the crowd, but they were ordinary images.

  The owner of the open-air grilled octopus **** is dressed as a ghost.

  The front of the clothing store is illuminated with weird lights, rendering the entrance like a haunted house, attracting people's curiosity.

   There was also a little girl wearing a shrine maiden costume running past with a coin in her hand, presumably to slay demons.

  The mysterious culture of ghosts is particularly prominent.

   It is the first time to participate in this kind of festival, and it is inevitable that you will be a little curious.

  The huge moon in the sky shines on the snow-covered roads in the city.

  The road surface is smoother than in previous years, and the city appearance is cleaner, which will also mobilize people's enthusiasm for holding festivals.

  Not only the local ghost and witch cultural activities in the land of ghosts, foreign businessmen participating in this festival will also bring their own country's characteristics, but they will not overwhelm the guests, which is why it appears romantic.

   "It's much more lively than Konoha."

   Ayane was wearing a pink yukata and a rabbit mask on her face. Looking at the lively but orderly festival, she said these words.

of course. Shiraishi responded silently in his heart.

  From the moment he came to the country of ghosts, he has continuously invested large sums of money, invited professional engineers to come and transform it, and invested a lot of engineering ninjas, so that this year's festival is somewhat different.

  As the capital of a country, Ziyuan City was already considered a relatively prosperous large city. After a new round of transformation, if it can’t even compare to Konoha, then it’s too shameful for the huge amount of money and manpower he invested in it.

   Liuli didn't speak, but her eyes were also attracted by the dazzling array of beautiful things in front of her eyes.

  Different from Ayane, she was wearing a moon-white yukata and a brightly colored fox mask on her face to cover her face.

  The three of them participated in this kind of festival for the first time, and they didn't have any goals, they just wandered around.

  When I was tired, I sat on a bench by the side of the road to rest, looked at the snow-covered path, and commented on the people wearing fancy clothes.

  Continue walking and reach the center of the commercial street.

   There is a huge open space, and a very tall, gorgeous and thoughtful stage is set up on the open space.

   Miko, a large number of shrine maidens in red and white and pure white clothes dance on the stage.

  The sound of the flute fell into people's ears lightly, which is a lively and peaceful atmosphere.

  People whispered to each other, and the slightest whisper was overshadowed by the sound of the flute.

  The witches began to dance on the stage, with bright red lipstick on their mouths, and jingling ornaments on their heads and clothes, or bells that could ring when they swayed their bodies.

  The priestesses in pure white priestess costumes stopped dancing and spread out in the outer circle, allowing the priestesses in red and white priestess costumes to continue dancing in the circle.

  They closed their eyes and raised the seven knives in their hands, as if they were performing a sacred prayer ceremony.

   Afterwards, gorgeous flames burned on the seven knives, illuminating the surroundings brightly, which aroused people's cheers.

  Their movements are elegant, their expressions are solemn and sacred, and their dances are done in one go. They are all outstanding maidens selected from every shrine in the ghost country, and then gather here to conduct the annual blessing ceremony for the ghost kingdom.

  Snowflakes are falling in the night sky, it looks like countless feathers are flying in the air, and then fall silently on the stage.

  Snowflake Feiyu combined with the dance of the witches.

  People saw this beautiful scene and forgot the coldness of the winter night. Their souls and witches have begun to dance together, praying for a happy and fulfilling life in the coming year, family reunion, and cleaning the filth and impurity in their hearts, and then starting the new year.

   "Mr. Baishi, you are dumbfounded. I called you several times and didn't answer."

  Bringing himself back to his senses, Shiraishi found both Liuli and Ayane staring at him with unfriendly eyes.

   "I was praying for you just now."

   After all, there are so many lovely girls dancing together, he, like the crowd around him, was undergoing a spiritual purification ceremony just now.

   That's right, that's what happened. I will never be dumbfounded because it is too beautiful.

   "Damn it! Is there another woman in your heart?"

   "Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

  Cold sweat dripped from Shiraishi's face. He was just admiring the beauty. Why did Ayane come to such a conclusion?

   "What kind of sacred and solemn prayer ceremony is this? I think it's obviously a seduction ceremony!"

  Ayane became even more angry.

  Liuli's eyes became more and more unfriendly. Although she didn't like Ayane very much, she thought she was right.

   This is not a sacred blessing ceremony at all, but a ceremony to seduce men.

  Especially this kind of man who always likes to fluctuate physically and mentally, and is not firm, it is easy to be seduced.

"Walk!"

  Ayane took Shiraishi's arm and walked in one direction.

"where to?"

  Baishi's head was full of question marks.

  Ayane pointed to the clothing store beside her.

   "Don't you just want to subdue the temptation, I will also wear the maiden uniform!"

   "..."

  What's going on in this woman's head?

   The key question is this?

ten minutes later-

   Ruri and Ayane, who had changed into shrine maiden costumes, stood in front of them.

  Baishi covered his head, with an expression of not knowing what to do.

   "Sure enough, wearing a priestess costume is more participatory in this kind of festival."

   Ayane turned around and began to look down at the maiden clothes on her body, as if she was very satisfied.

   Regarding this, Shiraishi had no choice but to acquiesce.

   "I'm hungry, let's go eat something."

   Shiraishi said.

   Next, he didn't dare to wander around.

  This is a festival in the country of ghosts. There will be many performances of witches praying for blessings, especially in the center of the commercial street. From a distance, you can hear the melodious and melodious sound of the flute everywhere.

  The three entered a hot spring hotel, where they could enjoy a hot spring bath after filling their stomachs.

   When ordering food, I also brought a few bottles of sake.

  The sound of the flute can be heard from the outside. There, there are still priestesses dancing gorgeously to pray for people.

  Close your eyes, slowly taste the sake, listen to the sound of the flute, and then imagine Shiraishi dancing with the shrine maiden, thinking this way.

   It seems that it is not bad to spend life like this.

   But thinking about it, those dancing priestesses immediately turned into the appearance of Ruri and Ayane. The cloth of priestess clothes wrapped their pure bodies and danced beautifully in front of him.

   "Ahem!"

   Shiraishi, who choked on drinking, immediately opened his eyes and coughed.

  Opening his eyes, he found that the atmosphere at the table was a bit wrong.

  I saw Liuli and Ayane glaring at each other viciously, several wine bottles had been emptied beside them, and their faces were ruddy with drunkenness.

   "If you can't drink enough, don't drink so much, and continue to participate in the festival afterward."

  Baishi looked at the two people who were competing in secret, and thought that today could be passed without any worries, but it seemed that he was thinking too much.

  How could these two women coexist peacefully.

  Sparks began to explode in the air where the line of sight met.

   "Oh, don't worry, Shiraishi-kun, I'm fine. Unlike someone, I'm a very good drinker, and I can't pour a thousand glasses."

  Ayane held the wine glass in her hand, and drank the wine in one gulp.

   "I've heard that women with heavy **** are poor drinkers."

   "Oh, already jealous beyond recognition?"

   Ayane puffed out her chest, and something trembled inside the thin fabric.

   "You are the one who is jealous. I am the one who is completely victorious. Your ugliness is written all over your face."

  Liuli showed a contemptuous smile on her face, and quietly and gracefully raised her glass to drink.

  Ayane took a deep breath, her chest fluctuated, and you can imagine the degree of her mood fluctuation.

   Then, she spit out three words from her mouth:

   “…a teapot lid.”

  The word 'well' appeared on the forehead, and this sentence stabbed Liuli's sore spot.

   "Who is lying next to Baishi now? Can't you see it with your white eyes?"

   "Teapot Lid."

   “…bitch.”

   "Teapot Lid."

  White flashes flashed across the air.

  The fork and the knife collided, sparking fiercely.

   "Well, I think you are all a little drunk, do you want to go to the hot spring first to calm down?"

   Baishi was afraid that the two of them would get angry at such a time.

   "Baishi-kun, just sit there."

   "That's right, it's not your fault that you can't control your lower body."

   "It's been weird since before, obviously I was the one who met Baishi-kun honestly first, and I was the one who kissed Baishi-kun first, why are you just the teapot cover, you want to seduce Baishi-kun so shamelessly?"

  Ayane cast her anger on Liuli.

  The more I think about it, the more unwilling I become.

   He took a sip of wine.

   "What is the practical significance of what you say? You **** is the most shameless one."

   "Aren't you the first to win love?"

   "Even if you win love with a sword, it can't change the fact that you are weaker than me. The unwilling face of a loser is really ugly."

   "Strength is used to determine strength. No wonder Baishi-kun is still reluctant to part with the gentle me. With you, Baishi-kun must be under a lot of pressure."

  Seeing the two confronting each other with words, staring at each other without looking aside, the flames colliding with each other in the air, it is estimated that they can make a fuss all night.

  Shiraishi sighed lightly.

   Forget it, drink and drink.

  The sound of the flute reaches the ears, and the lively festival is still going on.

  This year may be a year of peace.

  ◎

   At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

   It's a beautiful day.

  The bustling festival has passed, and the city of Ziyuan looks quiet and empty during the day.

   Something was shaking under the bed, Liuli got out of bed, pulled her long hair behind her, picked up the clothes on the ground and began to put them on.

   "Liuli, what time is it?"

   Baishi asked in a daze.

  Because I drank too much with Ruri and Ayane at the hot spring hotel last night, my head is a little dizzy now.

   The bed is very warm, and I don't feel like going out very much.

  Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year now, so I can rest for a few more days, so I don't have to be busy with work.

  Liu Li didn't answer, but said: "I'm going out to buy a house."

   "Buy a house? Why buy a house?"

  Baishi was taken aback, isn't the house he lives in the house he just bought a few days ago?

   It’s only been a few days, why are you still buying it?

   "This house is not clean, buy a new one to live in."

   Liuli walked out with a blank expression, her expression was as cold as usual.

   "Mr. Baishi, what's the matter? Do you still want it? No, I couldn't do it last night..."

  The voice came from the other side, with white arms wrapped around Shiraishi's neck, eyes half-closed with difficulty, and Ayane, who still had a drunken blush on her face, let out a giggle.

   "Ayane? You..."

  At this moment, Shiraishi realized that Ayane was also sleeping next to him, and his head started to hurt again.

   Thinking back carefully, because the three of them got really drunk last night, and then…

  Baishi's face suddenly turned pale.

   "Ayane, get up!"

   "Huh? What happened?"

  Ayane heard Shiraishi's panicked shouting, and half propped herself up from the bed, wearing half-open pajamas, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

   "No time to explain, hurry—"

  Boom!

  The foundation collapsed, and the entire villa began to tilt 30 degrees due to the huge force, and the walls cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Shiraishi and Ayane rolled down from the bed in panic, and a large stone fell from above.

  Liuli stood on the snow-covered road, looking at the house in ruins, expressionless.
