Chapter 811: A Fated Encounter

After stepping into Heian-kyo, Kaguya looked at Lingyun with some confusion: "Lingyun, what was that thing you put on me earlier?"

Kaguya still clearly remembered that before entering Heian-kyo, he had casually drawn an Array and cast it over her body.

"That is an Array to lower people's attention. Don't forget, if you were to enter Heian-kyo in your current appearance, what kind of chaos would it cause?" Lingyun said indifferently.

"Cause chaos?" Kaguya took out a small mirror from somewhere and looked at her own face. "Hmm, if this Princess appeared in Heian-kyo in her true form, it would indeed cause chaos!"

"Causing chaos is one thing; on the other hand, think about what kind of reaction those powerful nobles would have if they saw your appearance," Lingyun asked calmly.

"This..." Kaguya hesitated.

"I'm afraid their first thought would be to snatch you home as a plaything!" Lingyun said coldly.

"As a plaything?" Kaguya's body couldn't help but tremble.

"So, honestly keep the Array on your body maintained, if you don't want any accidents to happen." Lingyun reached out and gently tapped Kaguya's brow.

"I know," Kaguya said listlessly.

However, this mood was soon cast to the back of her mind by Kaguya. Although Heian-kyo at this time was still somewhat crude and incomparable to later generations, compared to the Moon Capital where Kaguya had been staying, the level of liveliness was worlds apart. The Moon Capital was a place that had abandoned all desires and was always cold and desolate; it naturally could not compare to Heian-kyo, which existed as a royal capital.

Watching Kaguya cheer and mingle directly with the people on the street, Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Although Kaguya was not young, at certain times, she still displayed the temperament of a little girl!

Hidden in the shadows, Yagokoro Eirin watched Kaguya's excited expression and couldn't help but sigh slightly. She suddenly discovered that temporarily handing Kaguya over to Lingyun to look after was truly a very good choice.

"If it is truly possible, perhaps in the future I can ask him for help with that matter. Hmm, no, Kaguya's identity is too important, and I don't know him well enough. It is better to wait for a period of time before deciding. After all, if that plan is really to be carried out, the difficulties faced will be unimaginable. If any mistakes occur, I would never forgive myself," Eirin calculated in her heart.

Just at this moment, a scream came from ahead. Lingyun's ears twitched; he seemed to have heard Kaguya's voice.

Locking onto Kaguya's location with his Divine Sense, Lingyun's figure flashed, and he appeared beside Kaguya in an instant.

Over here, Kaguya was looking with an angry face at a young man sprawled on the ground. Not far from the man, there was a horse that was constantly neighing, but from the twisted look of the horse's left front hoof, one could tell that this horse was nine-tenths likely crippled.

Behind Kaguya was a panicked little girl who looked to be about the same age as Kaguya currently appeared. The girl's clothes were somewhat tattered, and she did not look like the child of a prominent family.

"You, you, you actually dared to hit my horse?" The young man looked at Kaguya, his eyes full of anger.

"Galloping on the street and intending to hurt people, you are truly detestable!" Kaguya looked at the man and coldly flicked her sleeve.

Even though she had the concealment Array set by Lingyun on her, the aura on Kaguya's body could not be hidden. Facing Kaguya, who was radiating a powerful aura, the man couldn't help but shrink back.

But soon the man came to his senses, seemingly feeling angry that he had been frightened by Kaguya, and he said angrily: "It's just a lowly slave; if she gets trampled to death, so be it. What's the big deal!"

"Heh, what a bastard who treats human life like grass!" Kaguya looked at him coldly, and a terrifying aura pressed directly onto the man, making his face turn pale.

"Stop!"

Just at this moment, a sharp shout came, and a Yin-Yang Spell was cast from afar directly toward Kaguya's direction. Kaguya looked up and saw two figures rushing toward her. Looking at that Yin-Yang Spell, an unknown light flashed in Kaguya's eyes, and inexplicable power flowed at her fingertips.

"If I make a move here, Eirin should be able to handle it," Kaguya pondered in her heart.

"Hmph—" Just as the Yin-Yang Spell was about to touch Kaguya, a cold snort suddenly came from in front of her.

Lingyun's figure quietly appeared in front of Kaguya. The Yin-Yang Spell rushing toward Kaguya seemed to have encountered sulfuric acid, dissolving away directly in mid-air. At the same time, a terrifying energy fluctuation swept out from Lingyun's body, blasting the two figures wearing Onmyoji attire who were rushing over directly into the air.

The figures flying backward smashed heavily into the young man, causing him to let out bursts of wailing. Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed from the mouths of the two Onmyoji, and the Cursed Power lingering on their bodies dissipated entirely in this instant.

Seeing Lingyun appear, the power at Kaguya's fingertips quietly dissipated, and Eirin, hidden in the World in a Pot, also loosened her grip on her longbow.

"My student, you dare to touch her?" Lingyun said coldly.

He had seen it clearly; the Yin-Yang Spell just now had absolutely no room for mercy. If it had hit an ordinary adult, it would have been enough to Shatter them. And the image Kaguya was currently presenting was that of an ordinary young girl. To be able to strike such a ruthless blow against such a girl, it was no wonder Lingyun did not show mercy.

"You, who are you?" one of the Onmyoji asked tremblingly.

The person in front of them was simply too terrifying; he had crippled them in a single encounter. Now, this Onmyoji could no longer feel the Cursed Power within his body at all, which meant that he was now no different from an ordinary person.

"Someone you cannot afford to provoke!" Lingyun said coldly, his terrifying aura instantly making the ground tremble.

Seeing Lingyun arrive, Kaguya knew that she did not need to intervene in this matter anymore. She believed that Lingyun would handle this matter well. Now, she turned her attention to the little girl she had saved from under the horse's hooves.

"Hello there, little sister, what is your name?"

"Hello, big sister, my name is Mokou, Fujiwara no Mokou." A trace of lingering fear remained on the little girl's face.

"Fujiwara no Mokou? A good name," Kaguya said with the air of a big sister. "My name is Kaguya, Houraisan Kaguya."

"Kaguya-sister," Fujiwara no Mokou said weakly.

Hearing Fujiwara no Mokou's words, Kaguya's eyes narrowed. She reached out and touched Fujiwara no Mokou's head: "Hmm, call me that from now on, understand?"

"Oh," Fujiwara no Mokou nodded, half-understanding.

Lingyun, standing in front of Kaguya, placed part of his attention on the two behind him. Houraisan Kaguya, Fujiwara no Mokou; this is the millennium pair. Would the naturally arrogant Moon Princess take action for a little girl who looked completely unremarkable? Could this be destiny?
