My whole body ached and I didn't want to talk.

Seeing that Shiraishi didn't answer, he also knew that he worked too hard at night and had a serious lack of sleep time.

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

"I almost thought I was really dead."

After a long time, Shiraishi sighed tiredly.

"It would be best for a man like you to be dead."

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

This man is just like the woman with white eyes, unable to speak a word of truth from a dog's mouth.

We all learned bad things together.

Shiraishi didn't refute, yes, he is a despicable man.

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

"If I didn't take any safety measures yesterday, would I be pregnant?"

"Don't worry, the day the child is born, I will kill your unfaithful man."

"Don't kill me. Saying such things will bring misfortune."

"I hate you."

Shiraishi hugged Liuli tighter and let her head rest on his chest.

"Then hate me for the rest of your life, but I will love you for the rest of your life."

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

So, he opened his mouth and bit down on Shiraishi'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 of Oni Country is really very different from that of Konoha.

Konoha's New Year's Eve Festival, to put it bluntly, does not have any special events worthy of praise.

It was nothing more than going out for shopping, eating, watching some excitement, and some sideshows copied from who knows which country. While making others laugh, it also made Shiraishi feel that Konoha lacked its own cultural heritage.

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

In Shiraishi's view, unique culture is not only to deepen people's belief in a certain existence, but also to strengthen people's cohesion and identity with the 'organization'.

Although Konoha is a ninja village of the Country of Fire, it never holds ritual activities of monks. In a sense, the beliefs of Konoha and the Country of Fire are not the same.

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

From this point of view, the Ninja Village and the country are a long-term and relatively effective contract, or an alliance of interests, not co-governance, and there is no unity of power.

The Ghost Country is an unnamed country, and the military power, political power, and economy of the Ghost Country are all controlled by the witch herself.

It can be seen that this country has its own charm for witches or mystical culture, rather than just copying things from other countries and holding them in the most important festival of the year.

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

In comparison, Shiraishi, Ruri and Ayane, who only wore masks to cover their faces, looked ordinary when they were mixed in the crowd.

The owner of the open-air grilled octopus balls dress up as a ghost.

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

There was also a little girl wearing a witch costume running past with a royal coin in her hand, probably 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 will be smoother than in previous years, and the city appearance will be tidier, which will also mobilize people's enthusiasm for holding festivals.

Not only the local cultural activities of ghosts and witches in the Kingdom of Ghosts, but also the foreign businessmen participating in this festival will also bring the characteristics of their own countries, but they will not dominate the guests. Because of this, it seems to have a romantic feeling of a hundred flowers blooming.

"It's much more lively than Konoha."

Ayane was wearing a pink yukata and a rabbit mask on her face. She looked at the lively but orderly festival and said this.

Of course. Shiraishi responded silently in his heart.

From the moment he arrived in the Kingdom of Ghosts, he continued to invest large sums of money, hired professional engineers to transform it, and also invested in a large number of engineering ninjas, so this year's festival was a little different.

Originally, as the capital of a country, Ziyuan City was already considered a relatively prosperous large city. After a new round of transformation, if it cannot even compare with Konoha, then it would be a shame for the large amount of money and manpower he invested in it.

.

Liuli said nothing, but her eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of things in front of her.

Unlike Ayane, she wore a moon-white yukata and a brightly colored fox mask on her face to hide her face.

It was the first time for the three of them to participate in this kind of festival. They didn't have any goals, they just wandered around.

When I got tired, I sat on a bench by the side of the road to rest, looked at the snowy path, and commented on the people in fancy clothes.

Continue walking and arrive at the center of the commercial street.

There is a huge open space there, with a very tall, gorgeous and elaborate stage set up in the open space.

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

The sound of the flute falls gently into people's ears, creating a lively and tranquil atmosphere.

People were whispering to each other, and their whispers were drowned out by the sound of the flute.

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

The miko in pure white miko uniforms stopped dancing and spread out in the outer circle, allowing the miko in red and white miko uniforms to continue dancing in the circle.

They closed their eyes, raised the seven knives in their hands, and seemed to be performing a sacred prayer ceremony.

Then the seven knives burned with brilliant flames, illuminating the surrounding area and causing people to cheer.

Their movements are elegant, their expressions are solemn and sacred, and their dances are all done in one go. They are all excellent shrine maidens selected from every shrine in the Kingdom of Ghosts, and then gathered here to perform the annual blessing ceremony for the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Snowflakes fell in the night sky, looking like countless feathers flying in the air, and then fell silently on the stage.

The flying feathers of snowflakes are combined with the dance of the witches.

Seeing this beautiful scene, people also forgot about the cold winter night. Their hearts and witches had already begun to dance together, praying for a happy life in the coming year, family reunion, and then cleansing the filth and impurity in their hearts, and then starting a new year.

.

"Shiraishi-kun, you are dumbfounded. I called you several times and you didn't answer."

When Shiraishi came back to his senses, he found that both Ruri and Ayane were staring at him with unkind eyes.

"I was praying for you just now."

After all, there were so many lovely girls dancing together. Like the crowd around him, he had just been undergoing a spiritual purification ceremony.

That's right, that's what it is. You won't be dumbfounded just because it's so beautiful.

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

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

Cold sweat broke out on Shiraishi's face. He was just appreciating beauty. Why did Ayane come to this conclusion?

"This is not a sacred and solemn prayer ceremony. I think this is obviously a seduction ceremony!"

Ayane became even more angry.

Liuli's eyes became more and more evil. 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 be in a state of mind and body and is not firm, he is even more likely to be seduced.

"Walk!"

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

"where to?"

Shiraishi's head was filled with questions.

Ayane pointed to the clothing store nearby.

"Don't you just want to be seduced by a uniform? I will also wear a miko uniform!"

"..."

What is going on in this woman's head?
