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

Honestly, Feng Zejian's charm is just too great. His charm isn't limited to women; even dogs would be attracted to him if they spent enough time with him.

If he weren't a womanizer, he would definitely be the perfect boyfriend.

Fujimura Yuya knows all too well that there are no perfect people in the world.

It is flaws that make us human, that make us truly human.

"Would you like to join the Onmyoji Guild?"

Fujimura Yu was stunned.

In a moment of carelessness, she forgot to gag Kasahara Koshino.

Feng Zejian was also somewhat helpless. "You finally said it."

So, can you join?

Feng Zejian did not answer, but looked at the moon in the sky.

"To be honest, I had no idea about supernatural phenomena before, and I thought they were all just urban legends."

"When I started traveling alone, one thing after another along the way refreshed my understanding of the world, and I realized that there are many things in the world that cannot be seen or are not allowed to be seen."

"The Bureau of Onmyōryō, I might have considered joining when I learned about this level, but I met Kana Kumagai first, and I met Shiro Satō first. Only those who have left the Bureau of Onmyōryō truly understand it."

As he spoke, Feng Zejian looked at the two girls.

Do you know anything about the Onmyo-ryo (Yin-Yang Bureau)?

Kasahara Xiaolu and Fujimura Yu were stunned.

Clearly, they didn't understand, and what they said wasn't as convincing as what those two people said.

"Although I have some extraordinary abilities, the Onmyodo can't give me the life I want, at least not the Onmyodo right now."

"In short, I will not join the Onmyoji Guild. Let's pretend today's topic never existed. This is better for you, for me, and for everyone."

Kasahara Kojima's expression was somewhat somber as she bowed to Kazesawa.

"sorry."

"Actually, there's no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong; it was just instinct that drove you to do it. Perhaps I hold a special place in your heart."

"But that incident only flashed through my memory, or even didn't exist. Although saying this might hurt you, some things still need to be made clear. I'm not trying to distance myself from you, but it makes me feel like I'm taking advantage of you. After all, I did it casually, yet you've been thinking about it ever since. It's really not fair."

"After saying all that, what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't hold onto too many feelings for me because of what happened in the past. Let's start from now on and gradually get to know each other as ordinary friends. What do you think?"

As he spoke, he extended his right hand.

Kasahara Koshika looked at Kazesawa's outstretched right hand, paused for a second, and then grasped it with both hands.

The girl smiled brightly, and even though her small hands were cold, she was still so warm.

"it is good."

Fujimura Yu stood to the side, shaking his head slightly.

This girl is probably captivated, but anyone who hears this profound yet heartwarming dialogue as the protagonist would likely be captivated as well.

Feng Zejian pulled his hand back and got off the swing.

"It's getting late, I should go back to sleep. You guys should get some rest too."

"Ah."

Feng Zejian disappeared from their sight.

Kasahara Koshika watched Kazesawa's retreating figure and smiled happily.

Fujimura Yu had some doubts.

“Little Deer, Feng Zejian came back so late. Do you think it’s possible that he is the owner of that song?”

Kasahara Koshika paused for a moment, then said, "So what if he is? Has he done anything wrong?"

"Not really."

"Then don't dwell on it. Remember to keep today's events a secret."

Fujimura's head is high.

"I am aware of this kind of thing."

As Feng Zejian went upstairs, he passed by Sato Shiro's room and saw that the light was on, so he knocked on the door.

The door opened; it was Sato Shiro who opened it.

"The busy man is back. Come in and have a seat."

Feng Zejian walked into the house with a light laugh.

There sat a tomboy named Kuroba Asuka, dressed in green dinosaur pajamas, sitting on the bed eating sweet potatoes while guarding a basin.

It tastes delicious.

Kaze looked at Sato Shiro.

Did she ever stop talking?

Sato Shiro shook his head helplessly.

"It's a pity not. This tomboy has no dietary restrictions and eats whatever is available. It's really a waste for her to be a descendant of the Raven God."

Feng Zejian suppressed a laugh.

"So she'll be living here from now on?"

Sato Shiro shrugged helplessly.

"Yes, I found her a room, but she insisted on sleeping here, so there was nothing I could do."

"Then you'll move out?"

Mentioning this made Sato Shiro even more upset.

"Hey, can I move out?"

Upon hearing that Sato Shiro was going to move out, Kuroba Asuka immediately bristled.

"No, you know I'm a coward."

"You see it."

Feng Zejian expressed his understanding.

It's understandable that her past experiences left a shadow on her.

Moreover, given Kuroba Asuka's mindset, her actions already indicate that she considers Sato Shiro someone she can rely on.

Even if Sato Shiro sleeps on the floor, she'll probably still stick to him.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were destined to be together...

"Alright, everyone's doing well, I'll head back now."

Sato Shiro chuckled mischievously, "Yeah, I bet Xiaojia's waiting for you to come back in bed."

Kaze gave Sato a look that told him to figure it out himself and then left.

Back in her room, Uesugi Kata was still awake, sitting in a chair looking at the messages on her phone with a slightly displeased expression.

Upon seeing Feng Zejian return, he immediately smiled and stood up to greet him.

He posed three questions to his new wife.

"Welcome back. Shall we eat first, or take a shower, or perhaps...?"

Feng Zejian smiled and said, "Let's go to sleep first."

Uesugi Kazuya nodded and began to take off his clothes.

Feng Zejian awkwardly reminded him, "What I meant was, it's getting late, we should go to sleep."

Uesugi Kata stopped undressing.

"Then you should go to sleep first, honey. I'm not sleepy yet."

Kazema noticed the subtle emotions in Uesugi Kata's expression.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Uesugi Yoshimasa shook his head.

"No."

Feng Zejian nodded and said calmly.

"If that's the case, I won't ask again."

Uesugi Kazuma looked at Kazesawa and explained the reason for his displeasure.

Grandpa is turning seventy soon.

"Good thing."

Uesugi Kata began to talk about deeper things.

Chapter 140 Uesugi Kachi's Confession

“But this is not just a birthday celebration. These families are putting their prized works up for auction, trying to get a good price. My father and mother’s marriage, and myself, are products of this.”

"The two met at my grandfather's fortieth birthday, or rather, they only met once. The buyer and seller reached an agreement, and the two people who had only met once were forced to be together, and then I was forced to be born."

"And now, I too will be placed on the shelf, continuing the cycle my parents went through. They won't care about the feelings of the items being auctioned."

Feng Zejian felt suffocated by what he heard.

This is the essence of upper-class society: it is maintained by money, personal connections, and marriage, through a vast network of interests and power.

"I'm not telling you these things because I know that nothing can be changed, and saying them would only cause more trouble for one more person."

“They don’t care about my situation, they don’t even care that I’m pregnant. All they care about is my status and the benefits that the marriage brings.”

"This isn't something I've come up with myself; it's what I've witnessed over the years. I just want to be myself until I'm put on the shelf."

As she spoke, Uesugi Yoshitada choked up, her expression growing increasingly dazed as she looked at Kazesawa.

"I had already lost interest in this boring life, and alcohol was my only companion."

"But then I met you, and I fell deeply in love with your gentleness. I wanted to be with you, but that's impossible, and I shouldn't even have those thoughts."

"But I just can't forget that feeling, so I searched for you desperately. I knew you were at Kanazawa High School, I knew you were with Saki, I watched you and Saki strolling intimately in the amusement park, I watched the love movie you starred in with Fuchigami Orie, I watched you confidently playing the saxophone on stage, I watched you reading your speech in a daze at the debate competition, I watched you appear calmly in that anchor's live broadcast room, and I watched the live broadcast recording over and over again."

“I want to come to your side, but I know you won’t be happy because of my arrival, so I choose not to disturb you. I choose to do what I can for you. I choose to stay here, feel the traces of your past life, and choose everything you love.”

"I finally couldn't resist and let the children call you. They didn't even know your number; I was the one who gave it to them. My time is running out; I really can't wait any longer."

"I know my feelings are somewhat unhealthy, and I know that the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it, but you are the only candle in my life, and I don't want this only light and warmth to disappear."

Kazema stared blankly at Uesugi Kata.

At that moment, he also realized that he didn't know anything about Uesugi Yoshita at all.

"I know you are not meant to be mine, so I just want to enjoy your tenderness in the little moments of my freedom I have."

Kazema didn't speak, but simply silenced Uesugi Yoshimasa with his lips as she poured out her endless grievances and humble pleas.

This was the best comfort for Uesugi Kata.

Uesugi Kazuma nestled against the wind and rain.

Her sadness had long been swept away by the physical pleasure.

"If I have the ability, I will save you, but if I don't, I will do everything I can to bring your limited freedom to a perfect end. This is my promise to you."

Uesugi Kazuya smiled slightly. "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."

After saying that, Uesugi Yoshimasa began to breathe evenly.

Kazema looked at Uesugi Kata, who had fallen asleep, and shook his head helplessly.

This girl's constitution is unusually weak; she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, so it's perfectly normal for her to be delicate.

Goodnight, Jia Dai.

As he spoke, Kazema gently kissed Uesugi Kata's cheek, turned off the light switch next to him, and closed his eyes.
