Chapter 95 The Secret Treasure of the Urashima Family
The Fukushima Daimyo, who had calmed down, asked Sarutobi and Fukushima Masaki to kneel together and spoke.
"Princess Fukushima possesses the special blood of the Fukushima family, so she can resist the curse. But as the cursed blood increases, she, as a blood relative, won't be able to resist for long." Daimyo Fukushima said helplessly. The Fukushima family has a large population. Once they all turn into monsters, Princess Fukushima's noble blood will be useless.
"Therefore, Princess Fukushima must leave the Fukushima family, and you are the guardians I carefully selected." As soon as Daimyo Fukushima finished speaking, Sarutobi and Masaki Fukushima fell to the ground with a bang. No matter how dangerous this matter was, the trust and entrustment of their lord in them was worth their lives in return.
"My lord, should we arrange a ship to escort the princess to the main island?" Although both of them were guardians, Fukushima Masayoshi was obviously the chief, so he spoke first.
"No, Princess Fukushima's bloodline is very special. Once we reach the main island, you won't be able to defend it." Daimyo Fukushima shook his head and pointed in a certain direction.
"My last order to you is to escort Princess Fukushima to the Moroboshi family to marry, and work hard to become a retainer of the Moroboshi family. From that moment on, even if the opponent is me, do not show mercy. Even if you chop off my head, I will fall into hell with satisfaction and blessings for you." Daimyo Fukushima said his last order calmly and resolutely, and he must have anticipated his own fate.
Although he didn't understand, Sarutobi was a ninja and all he had to do was to follow his lord's orders. Only Fukushima Masaki seemed to be thinking about something, as if he understood something. However, some things were not what they wanted. The biggest problem now was that the head of the Moroboshi family had a bit of a special hobby, so he spoke.
"My lord, according to my understanding, the head of the Moroboshi family, Moroboshi Aomon, has no interest in Japanese women, so it may not be easy to marry him." Fukushima Masaki had to admit that the Moroboshi family was the best candidate for marriage, but it takes two to tango. Without the nod of the head of the Moroboshi family, the marriage could not take place.
"It's not that he is not interested in women. Judging from the red ghost he raises, his interest is just a little bit special." Fukushima Daimyo said indifferently. As a daimyo, he has seen and played everything. Then he motioned to Fukushima Ji to lift up the hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of small and round horns.
"Princess Fukushima is the only descendant of the Fukushima family in hundreds of years who has shown her ancestral bloodline. She can no longer be considered a mortal. Moreover, I have prepared a dowry that she cannot refuse." Daimyo Fukushima looked at the wooden box and the jade box with a complicated look, but he finally looked away and continued.
"My purpose is very simple. I want the head of the Moroboshi family to marry Princess Fukushima. There is even no need for Princess Fukushima's descendants to change their names." Daimyo Fukushima said meaningfully.
To put it bluntly, he has confidence in the bloodline of the Fukushima family. If the bloodline of the Fukushima family takes root in the Moroboshi family, replacement is only a matter of time. It doesn't matter whether the name is changed or not at that time. What's more, the Fukushima family was not originally called Fukushima, but Urashima.
At that moment, Princess Fukushima, carrying her dowry, passed through a secret passage and, escorted by Masaki Fukushima and Sarutobi, came all the way to Komizu Town, where she met Princess Fukushima.
"It seems that Daimyo Fukushima has made the wrong choice." Fu Ji glanced at the wooden box and jade box in Fukushima's arms, and said calmly as if she had expected it.
Princess Fukushima was silent, because the other party was the culprit who had harmed Daimyo Fukushima like this, but the other party did not hide anything, and everything she did was Daimyo Fukushima's own choice.
"I will write a letter to submit to my lord regarding the marriage. As for whether my lord will agree, it seems that you have already prepared for it." After seeing the little corner that Fukushima Ji deliberately revealed, Fu Ji didn't know what she was thinking of, and said with a meaningful smile.
"Someone, escort Princess Fukushima to rest." Fu Ji clapped his hands, and the maid outside came over and led the three of them to rest. He personally wrote a letter and asked the ninja of Mori no Ninja to send it to Onimaruyama Castle.
"It's getting more and more interesting. Even the secret treasure of the Urashima family has been taken out. Now it depends on the choice of our lord." Fu Ji said with a smile, stroking his smooth chin with his fingers. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. The lord would not refuse, no matter it was the dragon-like Fukushima Princess or the secret treasures of the two families.
Onimaruyama Castle, after reading the letter sent by Fu Ji, Yan Xu was stunned. "What are the Japanese thinking? We are ready to go to war at any time, but we sent our daughter and dowry here, and it seems that we are not going to return her?" Yan Xu couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, Fu Ji wrote an explanation and some speculations at the end, so Yan Xu was not confused.
"This Fu Ji is really cruel." Yan Xu couldn't help but smack his lips, and at the same time he was surprised by the background of the Japanese daimyo.
The secret treasure of the Sagara family is the cursed flesh and blood of a great demon. It is said that if one takes a bite of it, one can gain powerful strength and immortality. The price is that not only will the person who takes it turn into a ferocious snake demon, but even their blood relatives will be cursed and turned into half-human, half-snake monsters.
When Fu Ji was first found, he wanted to repair his body damage by consuming the flesh and blood of the great demon. Later, after being hit by successive blows from his closest relatives, he became disheartened and gave up the idea of repairing his body. Instead, he ate the flesh and blood of the great demon and used a curse to take away the entire family. However, he soon discovered that he would feel more pleasure by doing it himself, so he changed his approach. The flesh and blood of the great demon was given to the Fukushima family. As for the reason, it was just because he thought it would be very interesting.
The unfortunate Daimyo Fukushima was ambitious and had great confidence in his bloodline, so he took the flesh and blood of the great demon and used the secret treasure of the Fukushima family, no, it should be the Urashima family, in an attempt to restore the glory of his ancestors.
Urashima is the fisherman who, according to Japanese legend, had been to the Dragon Palace. It is said that after returning to land, he opened the treasure box given by the Dragon Girl and suddenly turned into an old man, and hundreds of years had passed in the human world.
In fact, it was not Urashima Taro who came back, but his son.
After all, Urashima Taro was a human being and had long since died of old age in the Dragon Palace. His son, who was half human, also began to age after living for several hundred years. So he returned to the land where his father lived and called himself Urashima Taro, as a way of commemorating his father.
However, this name and his description of Ryugu obviously caused a lot of trouble, so it was later changed to Fukushima and moved to Fukushima. The Fukushima family was founded by his descendants.
The secret treasure of the Urashima family is a treasure box that can speed up the fusion of blood. Daimyo Fukushima used this treasure to fuse the flesh and blood of the great demon in an attempt to awaken the blood of his ancestors.
Unfortunately, the blood of Fukushima Daimyo was too thin, far less than that of Princess Fukushima whose blood had returned to her ancestral roots. Therefore, he was no match for the cursed flesh and blood of the great demon, and eventually he lost his humanity and turned into a monster.
This is also the reason why Daimyo Fukushima asked Princess Fukushima to leave. If she didn't leave, even if she was not contaminated by the curse, she would be eaten by him who was gradually losing his humanity, because Princess Fukushima's pure blood filled him with a greedy appetite, which was getting stronger and stronger.
Rubbing his brows, Yan Xu realized that he had underestimated the mystery of Japan. The water here was deeper than he had imagined, but it was probably subject to certain restrictions, so these great demon-level beings did not interfere in the affairs of mortals.
In any case, after seeing these benefits, Yan Xu would not reject Fukushima-hime, because this was the way out he had reserved for himself.
If he really can't find a way to achieve immortality, then not being a human being will become his last option, unless he is willing to die of old age.
