I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

"Now I understand why Yuka Ikeda always gives you the cold shoulder. You're just too shameless."

Feng Zejian did not deny it.

“Sayamo, you’re right, but if I had any sense of shame, we wouldn’t talk like this. It would be a huge loss for both of us.”

"It's your loss, not mine."

"Therefore, I want to make up for this loss, so being shameless is inevitable."

Saya Yanase couldn't help but laugh.

"You're full of twisted logic."

The two just stared at each other without saying a word.

It's not that I don't want to talk, it's just that I don't know what to say.

Just as Feng Zejian said, the two of them really didn't have much to talk about.

Rather than saying that Kazema was neglecting her, it would be more accurate to say that Yanase Saya was wary of him.

Yanase Saya's parents had earnestly advised her to stay away from Kazesawa, and she herself kept her distance from Kazesawa as well.

But seeing Feng Zejian chatting so enthusiastically with others, I felt a little itchy to join in.

At that moment, Yanase Saya felt a pang of loneliness.

In truth, Yanase Saya was only a little proud, after all, she was in her prime, very beautiful, and of extremely noble status.

She thought that Feng Zejian would try to curry favor with her.

But she discovered that whether she was there or not made no difference to Feng Zejian's life.

She also vaguely realized that it wasn't Feng Zejian who needed her, but rather she who needed Feng Zejian.

Therefore, Feng Zejian's genuine jokes are often over-interpreted by himself.

They get angry and embarrassed when their thoughts are guessed.

In fact, I should have realized long ago that it was my family's resistance and disapproval that made Feng Zejian keep his distance from me.

At first, she felt she should stay away from Feng Zejian, but as they spent more time together, she couldn't help but get closer to him.

In my spare time, I always wonder what Feng Zejian is doing.

Actually, it's quite enjoyable to chat with him.

Compared to the rigidity of the people at the shrine, Kazesawa's humor and wit make people feel very relaxed.

Today, Feng Zejian spoke her mind, and she was very happy.

Especially when he heard Feng Zejian's apology and gratitude.

Saya Yanase thought that Kazesawa wouldn't notice those subtle emotions, but she didn't expect that Kazesawa would be so perceptive in capturing them.

Saya Yanase had no reason to get angry anymore, or rather, she should find a different reason to get angry.

The reason why Kazesawa asked Yanase Sayasue for a good luck charm was simply because Kazesawa was greedy, not because he was as described in the previous phone call.

It was because Yanase Sayasu sensed that Kazesawa was trying hard to find topics to talk about, and although he was a little clumsy, she could clearly feel his sincerity.

Sometimes, however, Kazema is too sincere. Even though he has hinted that it is okay to lie appropriately, he still chooses to be sincere, which gives Yanase Saya a lot of headaches.

Or rather, it's like being led by the nose by Feng Zejian, which is giving me a headache.

From birth until now, I have been respected, cared for, and admired wherever I go.

When he arrived at Feng Zejian's place, he found himself completely outmatched and utterly helpless, having been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Feng Zejian.

Kazema stared at Yanase Saya, who remained silent, her pupils unfocused and undivided.

Then, she asked curiously, "Your eyes are lifeless. What are you thinking about? For example, is this person in front of you really so hateful? He's flirting with so many people and he's still trying to seduce me."

Saya Yanase was amused once again.

"You're quite self-aware."

Feng Zejian tilted his head slightly.

“Sayama, you should know that if I had any self-awareness, I wouldn’t be here. Seriously, if your parents knew about our relationship and strongly opposed it, would you still want to maintain it?”

"What's our relationship? Explain yourself. If we're just friends, they have no right to interfere. But if it's..."

Saya Yanase fell silent, not because she didn't want to speak, but because she was too shy to say it.

The shy goddess also has a unique charm.

Saya Sue Yanase's beauty is not stunning; it is dignified, even somewhat old-fashioned. But upon closer examination, one can discover that beneath each of her emotions lies a unique kind of beauty.

It's like being in a parallel universe, the same yet different version of yourself.

Feng Zejian felt that was about enough.

"Let's go see the dean."

Saya Yanase nodded.

"it is good."

Kazesawa and Yanase Saya arrived at Sato's room.

Feng Ze knocked lightly a few times, and the door opened.

It was opened by Sato Shiro.

The two walked in, and as soon as they entered, they heard the Raven God nagging the Black Feather Bird.

It's likely that Feng Zejian brought up the old matter again, which ignited the anger of the Crow God.

From the perspective of the Crow God, Kuroba Asuka made a huge mistake this time.

If the crow god hadn't been unable to descend, the birds wouldn't have been able to return.

Black Feather Bird will definitely be permanently banned.

A scolding or two certainly won't suffice.

The most important thing isn't to scold her, but to teach her a lesson.

A clueless idiot like Kuroba Asuka only learns his lesson when he's scolded severely enough.

Kazema found a seat and sat down, fiddling with the small items in Sato Shiro's hands.

"How long will this tomboy stay this time?"

Sato Shiro narrowed his eyes and sighed.

"I estimate we'll be staying here for a long time."

Kuroba Asuka looked at the two who were acting as if no one else was around, somewhat displeased.

"I'm still here, don't go too far."

The two glanced at the black-feathered bird.

They continued their conversation as if no one else was around.

"This tomboy is fine to keep. Although he eats a lot, he is still a child of the gods and has some luck. Just keep him as a mascot."

The black-feathered bird's feathers stood on end.

"Can you please not say these things in front of me? It's very hurtful to my self-esteem."

Feng Zejian looked at the black-feathered bird and the statue in his hand.

I had some ideas in mind.

"Lord Raven God, I have an idea that would be mutually beneficial."

"You said."

Chapter 151 Feng Zejian's Thoughts

"Since Kuroba Asuka will be staying here for a while, and you can't come down in your true form yet, why don't we build a shrine here in the orphanage to worship you? Although there won't be many offerings, it's better than nothing. The children here and Kuroba Asuka can also receive your protection. You can also visit your unfilial daughter through the statue when you have time. Most importantly, you can let her take on the responsibility of looking after the shrine, so that she has something to do."

Feng Zejian gave many reasons, making it impossible for Ya Shen to refuse.

No matter how wretched the black-feathered bird may be, it is still her own flesh and blood. She is both a god and a mother, and she cannot completely let go of it.

Although things didn't go as planned, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Kuroba Asuka.

"What you've said is feasible; I can't think of a reason to refuse."

The Raven God thought it was fine, but the Black Feather Bird was really resistant.

"I don't want to. That kind of thing sounds too complicated. I don't want to, I don't want to."

The Raven God was enraged and rebuked, "You have no right to speak here."

Black Feather Bird felt very wronged.

"Kuroba Asuka, you're still too young. This is a cushy job."

Black Feather Bird frowned.

"Tell me, how is this a good job?"

"A shrine protected by the gods will surely have a constant stream of worshippers. The shrine maiden is the god's representative. When those defeated believers come, donating money, goods, and fruit, nothing will pass through your hands. You should know that you are not working for someone else. You are under your mother's control. You eat her offerings, and even the Crow God can't say anything about it."

Kuroba Asuka thought about it carefully, tilted her head, and figured it out with her limited brain capacity.

"You're right."

Feng Zejian first drew a circle around this big pie.

"Once the shrine has accumulated a certain number of believers, what you want to eat or drink will be just a matter of giving a hint, won't it?"

Black Feather Asuka's lips curled up in a smile, provoked by Kazema's words.

"That seems to be true. Then I want to be a shrine maiden, and I want to eat delicious food."

Kuroba Asuka is the type who needs a piece of flesh to fall off her forehead to move forward; she has many flaws, but she's easy to handle.

Yanase Saya looked at Kazesawa, her beautiful eyes reflecting the same light.

Feng Zejian's suggestion is no longer a win-win situation.

This proposal would be of great benefit to the children, to Asuka Kuroba, to the Crow God, and to Sato Shiro.

Protecting the children, training the offspring, ensuring the continuation of the family line, and minimizing the pressure on Sato Castle—these are all things that Kazesawa wants to see.

No deity desires to be worshipped in the mortal world. Even if the shrine is small, a stable supply of incense and worshippers is a great satisfaction for the deity, even if it doesn't bring any substantial improvement.

"Since no one has any objections, let's finalize the location and size of the shrine. Since it's a shrine, it's definitely not appropriate to use a piece of wood as the main offering. It should at least be about the height of a normal person."

Sato Shiro stood up.

"Since we've come this far, let's go see where would be a suitable place to build the shrine."

"Then let's go and investigate in person."

Everyone got up and left the room, going outside the welfare home.

After circling the welfare home, we finally decided on a location that was relatively far from the main body of the welfare home, but still within the welfare home's grounds.

When Sato Castle left the Onmyōryō, he used most of his money to acquire land. At the time, he was afraid he wouldn't have enough, so he acquired some land.

The shrine is located on the edge of the welfare home area.

Be quiet, that's what the crow god asks.

She also knew that once the shrine was built, she would suffer torment at the hands of her daughter.

The shrine wasn't built right up to the edge, which allowed for some space during later expansions.

Next came the design and material selection for the statue.

“They are usually wooden or stone statues, but Fengzejian thinks that’s too shabby.”

"Let's go with the gold one."

Sato Shiro hesitated.

"But gold plating isn't cheap."

Feng Zejian was stunned for a moment.
