Chapter 127 Weng Mian
"You...really surprised me?"

Kurohimeyama Mikado's expression also changed from surprise to calmness. She removed the vermilion torii gates, and the twenty-eight torii gates turned into fragments of light and disappeared without a trace.

"Where's Yukito?"

She asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Hagi, you didn't really kill Yu Xing, did you?"

Yujiao looked at the shadow under her feet.

"of course not."

Xiao Hagi smiled.

She parted her lips, revealing her abnormally white, beautifully shaped teeth in a brilliant smile.

"How could I bear to kill her..."

The eldest princess of the Kurohimeyama family did not smile, but instead hid deep hatred in her eyes.

——I won’t let her die so easily.

——It will definitely make her suffer.

"Mother can't die like this. I just locked her in the cage woven by the shadow... I won't kill her, former head of the family. She still has an important role to play for me."

"That's fine."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku didn't intend to ask any further questions.

She had long been aware of the conflicts and contradictions between her daughter and granddaughter, but for various reasons, she did not intend to intervene.

In order to compete for the qualification of the head of the family, the women of the family in the past generations would engage in various fights. This kind of infighting within the family is like refining poisonous insects, through which the most suitable person is selected.

This is also the tradition of the Kurohime clan.

It was Yujiao herself who defeated her elder sister and three younger sisters by committing patricide and eventually climbed to the throne of the head of the family.

"But... then again, why... do we, the Kurohimeyama clan, cling so tightly to such traditions? Is this kind of thing... really meaningful?"

Occasionally, such doubts would arise in her heart.

However, the next moment, the former head of the family swallowed these bitter questions and put them all behind her.

"By the way, I'd like to ask, the price to pay for the power of Shi Yong must be quite huge, right?"

Yujiao then pressed Xiaohagi, "Using that kind of power for a long time will inevitably consume your own future time. So, how much life do you have left?"

"There are many more."

Xiao Hagi curled up the corners of his lips and smiled.

"Paying a price is inevitable, but...is it possible that I don't have to bear the cost, and that other 'me' can bear the cost I need?"

She said this, and Yujiao was stunned by this "answer" when he heard her.

"Could it be that...she transferred the price she needed to pay to herself in another timeline?"

"So."

Xiao Hagi said to her grandmother as if nothing had happened: "I also want to ask, do I have a chance to become the head of the clan!?"

She no longer put on a smile, but asked righteously.

"...!"

Yujiao's breathing stopped.

"Why do you ask... You are indeed qualified."

"No, don't get me wrong."

Xiao Hagi said calmly, "I'm not talking to you, former patriarch... The person I want to talk to is the one deeper inside. You should be listening, right?~"

She spoke in a calling tone, word by word, "I'm talking about 'you', Lord Wengmian."

The silver-haired girl said this.

Yujiao's expression suddenly changed.

"What did you say?"

"Wengmian."

Xiao Hagi strengthened his tone.

"Almost done, you can come out now."

Yu Jiao remained silent, but a strong aura gradually emanated from her body, and the aura that resembled miasma could leave a deep impression on people at first glance.

"Where on earth... have I heard that name?"

Her lips opened and her tongue lingered between her white teeth.

Yujiao seemed to want to say something, but then her lips closed again.

At that moment, Kurohimeyama Mikado's personality seemed to have been replaced. She spoke slowly in an old man's voice, "Little girl, do you really know what you are talking about?"

That incomparable atmosphere creates the illusion that the surrounding air has deteriorated.

Behind Yukaku, a huge force rose up and gradually gathered above her head. It was a strange mask, a "Ongmen" mask from Noh drama.

"It's just as I expected." Xiao Hagi narrowed her eyes. She could feel that Yu Jiao was filled with an ominous aura. The "omen mask" behind her also slowly fell down, covering her face.

"How interesting... Little girl, how on earth do you know about me?"

The old man's voice sounded slowly.

——Wengmian.

This is the true darkness "hidden" within the Kurohime clan.

The patriarchs of the Kurohimeyama clan throughout the generations were all parasitic beings possessed by the power of "Wengmian".

It is also the biggest "dark secret" in the entire Kurohimeyama clan.

For a long time, the descendants of the Kurohimeyama family have been engaged in internal strife and internecine fighting for their own interests, all of which were caused by Ongmian.

All of this was a conspiracy woven by Weng Mian.

Kurohimeyama Mikado is not a "bad guy".

She didn't know that she had been parasitized by "Wengmian" when she became the former head of the family. In a place she didn't understand, her spirit and will were played by "Wengmian". It was because Wengmian secretly controlled the clan that the "distortion" of the Kurohimeyama family was created.

In fact, this is a secret that only gamers know.

Basically, the new head of the family in each generation will become the target of "Wengmian" parasitism.

By the time of Yujiao's generation, she was regarded as a good vessel by "Wengmian" because of her special ability of "immortality".

"Wengmian" did not turn to parasitize Yuki, but simply hid itself and hid in Yukaku's body.

On the other hand, Baijie, as a player, is also very clear about this. He knows that Yujiao is hiding the evil spiritual parasite "Wengmian".

This is why Kurohimeyama Mikado became what players call "one of the three evil women of the Kurohimeyama family."

However, in the main storyline, Weng Mian is in a deep sleep most of the time.

As long as no special plot is triggered in the game, "Wengmian" will hide most of the time and will not actively interfere.

However, once the hidden Weng mask in Yu Jiao's body is activated, Yu Jiao will completely become a "villain" and become the enemy of the protagonist Ye Ming after turning against him.

"I am the one who possesses the 'Power of Time Chant'."

Xiao Hagi explained bluntly: "Since you know my power, why bother asking this question?"

"All right?"

"Wengmian" nodded.

"Little girl... you know everything about me, yet you still dare to come to me. You're quite courageous, aren't you? Although you are quite powerful, I can still easily kill someone like you."

"I know."

Xiao Hagi smiled and said, "But I want to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Wengmian laughed and said, "What kind of deal are you going to make with me? I don't lack anything."

"Three treasures of the Kingdom of Foundations."

Xiao Hagi said calmly, "The Amanuma Koto is in my hands. You should be determined to obtain this treasure, right?"

She continued, "If I were to trade this treasure, you would be interested, right?" "What!?"

Weng Mian was also greatly surprised. Suddenly, this strange existence let out an old laugh.

"Hahahahahahahahaha... little girl, you are really interesting. Is that Amanuma Qin? Very good, very good. Then I will make a deal with you."

This strange mask slowly asked her, "What exactly do you want from this deal?"

"Please listen to me."

Xiao Hagi declared with her bright red lips.

"The content of this transaction is..."

She told her plan word for word.

After hearing this, even Wengmian was secretly surprised and said, "Is this your deal?"

"Yes."

Xiao Di smiled faintly: "However, this is only part of the deal. If you have no objection, I can also find a way to get the other two Huangquan treasures, the raw broadsword and the raw bow and arrow for you."

"it is good."

Weng Mian nodded.

"Then I will do as you say."

It makes a "kuku" laugh.

"Little girl, you are very interesting. If you can really get the other two treasures, then this deal, I can guarantee that it will achieve your goal."

"I hope so."

Xiao Hagi also responded with a smile, her eyes still cold, revealing an unfathomable light.
