Chapter 836: Yuyuko's Choice

Yakumo Yukari only felt a flash before her eyes, and she appeared within the courtyard of Saigyouji Yuyuko.

"Mr. Lingyun, Miss Yakumo, you have returned?" Konpaku Youki, having sensed the movement, walked out and saw Lingyun and the other.

"Eh, Lingyun, we just came back like this?" Yakumo Yukari asked with some confusion.

"The root of the matter has been found, so we don't need to stay in the Netherworld anymore," Lingyun said.

"The root of the matter?" Yakumo Yukari's eyes rolled, and she quickly understood what Lingyun meant. "Are you talking about that sentence the Reaper said: 'If only someone could appear to rule over those Vengeful Spirits'?"

"That's right, exactly that sentence! The Vengeful Spirits of the Netherworld have already affected the normal operation of the Netherworld. Under these circumstances, if one could find someone to rule over the Vengeful Spirits, it would inevitably change the current situation significantly," Lingyun said.

"You mean, the Saigyou Ayakashi is the existence chosen by the Will of the Netherworld to rule over the Vengeful Spirits in the future?" Yakumo Yukari asked with a frown. "If that's the case, then it's troublesome. If we take action against the Saigyou Ayakashi, the Will of the Netherworld won't sit idly by! Lingyun, what are your thoughts now?"

"My thought right now is, why must the person who rules over the Vengeful Spirits be the Saigyou Ayakashi?" Lingyun asked leisurely.

"What are you trying to do?" Even as bold as Yakumo Yukari was, she was startled by Lingyun's words.

"This matter probably needs further discussion; the most crucial thing is Yuyuko's own thoughts," Lingyun said, looking at the silent Saigyou Ayakashi.

"Mr. Lingyun, Lady Yuyuko has woken up," just at this moment, Konpaku Youki said to Lingyun.

"Yuyuko is awake?" Upon hearing this, Yakumo Yukari hurried toward the house.

"Yukari." Lingyun walked into the room and saw Saigyouji Yuyuko leaning in Yakumo Yukari's arms, a soft smile on her face, seemingly acting spoiled.

"Yuyuko, your body is still very weak right now, you must rest well," Yakumo Yukari said while stroking Saigyouji Yuyuko's head.

"Oh, Yukari, I'm hungry," Saigyouji Yuyuko said somewhat weakly.

"I'll go make some food," Lingyun turned and walked out.

In the face of food, Saigyouji Yuyuko unleashed powerful motivation; even her weak body could not stop her passion for food.

After eating her fill, Saigyouji Yuyuko lay on Yakumo Yukari's lap, her eyes half-closed, seemingly having fallen into a state of exhaustion again.

"Lingyun, Yuyuko's body right now...?"

"It's very bad," Lingyun shook his head and said. "That brainless Saigyou Ayakashi, disregarding that Yuyuko is a mortal, poured Death Qi and Demon Power into Yuyuko's body all at once. These things, recklessly poured in, have caused immense damage to Yuyuko's body. Honestly, Yuyuko's body is already at its limit."

"Nah, Yukari, I am very aware of my own physical condition, and isn't this my destiny?" Saigyouji Yuyuko comforted her.

"But..." There was uncontrollable sorrow in Yakumo Yukari's eyes.

"Yuyuko, I have something I want to discuss with you," Lingyun suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?" Saigyouji Yuyuko asked.

Lingyun then told Saigyouji Yuyuko about the current state of the Netherworld and the fact that the Will of the Netherworld had chosen the Saigyou Ayakashi as the future ruler of the Netherworld's spirits.

Saigyouji Yuyuko rested her cheek on her hand: "If that's the case, it would be very difficult to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi."

"No, there is still one way now. Yuyuko, you yourself possess the ability to rule over spirits, so I want to let you become the manager of the Netherworld's spirits. What do you think about this?" Lingyun said.

"Eh, let me become the manager of the Netherworld's spirits?" Saigyouji Yuyuko couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Yakumo Yukari asked with some hesitation: "Lingyun, can this really be done?"

"Whether it can be done is secondary; what's most important now is Yuyuko's own thoughts. Besides, wanting to become the ruler of the Netherworld's spirits is not such an easy thing."

"Are there any risks in this?" Saigyouji Yuyuko asked.

"First, the matter of sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi is absolutely unavoidable. Second, to become the ruler of the spirits, Yuyuko can only choose to become a spirit. And if you become a spirit, you will lose your memories."

"A spirit, losing my memories?" Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but tighten her grip on her fan.

In fact, Yakumo Yukari did not care whether Saigyouji Yuyuko was a human or a spirit, but for her, who had a long life, Saigyouji Yuyuko becoming a spirit might not be a bad thing; after all, human life is short. If Yuyuko became a spirit, the time they could spend together could be extended indefinitely. However, the aspect of memory was always a significantly large problem.

"Yukari, if I lose my memories, will we still be good friends?" Saigyouji Yuyuko asked.

Hearing these words from Saigyouji Yuyuko, Yakumo Yukari knew that she had already made her choice.

"That goes without saying; regardless of whether you lose your memories or not, we will always be good friends," Yakumo Yukari said, stroking Saigyouji Yuyuko's head.

"Then I've decided, I want to become the ruler of the Netherworld's spirits!" Saigyouji Yuyuko waved her little fist.

"Since it's decided, then we must make preparations," Lingyun said.

"Preparations?" Yakumo Yukari's tone was somewhat confused.

"Yes, you go prepare for the Seal Ceremony of the Saigyou Ayakashi, and I will go prepare some things to carry out our plan at that time," Lingyun nodded and said.

"Then, when do we start?"

"Once all the preparatory work is finished, we can start at any time!" Lingyun said to Yakumo Yukari, and then he disappeared before the two of them.

After Lingyun left, Saigyouji Yuyuko called Konpaku Youki over.

"What, Lady Yuyuko, you say you want to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi right now?" Konpaku Youki's face was full of surprise. "This, should we tell the main family? After all, many things are not yet prepared!"

"No need, Yukari will prepare them for me!" Saigyouji Yuyuko waved her hand and said. "Also, do not let the people of the main family know about this!"

"But, Lady Yuyuko..."

"No need to say more, my mind is made up." Saigyouji Yuyuko suddenly displayed the aura that only a superior possesses, momentarily suppressing Konpaku Youki so that he could not speak.

Lingyun appeared outside Saigyouji Yuyuko's courtyard, waving his hands repeatedly. Beams of light swept out from his hands, establishing a massive Isolation Array around the courtyard. After all, the commotion of sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi would not be small, and if others were drawn to this place, it would likely cause no small amount of trouble.

"Hmm, I also need to prepare an Array to strip away the identity bestowed upon the Saigyou Ayakashi by the Will of the Netherworld and transfer it to Yuyuko. At the same time, there is another thing I need to complete; as long as that thing is finished, it will completely break the destiny on Yuyuko. Yukari, you owe me a huge favor!" Lingyun muttered to himself, as Array Patterns began to form around the Saigyou Ayakashi.

After the Array was set up, Lingyun sat cross-legged in front of the Saigyou Ayakashi and silently began to adjust his state.
