Moe Girl Guardians

"You can go now." With a light leap to the ground, Youxiang strolled into the sunflower field, holding a parasol, leaving behind a faint sentence.

...Wu Feng was still sitting on the sunflower, unable to react. They just let him go so easily? Something didn't feel right...although the sunflower mom did seem to be in a normal state.

Back in the sunflower field, Kazami Yuuka held a parasol, stretched one hand in front of her eyes, purple mist swirling around her fingertips, then revealed a maniacal smile and vanished in a flash.

……

The moment Wu Feng stepped out of the sunflower field, his body froze, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. After leaving the sunflower field for a distance, his body was covered in a rich purple color, and the power of death surrounded him. The color almost dyed the surrounding environment purple.

His strength has recovered? After a brief examination of his body, Wu Feng discovered that his Death Power had returned to around the lower level of the Berserker realm. It was still a little short of its peak, but it no longer had a significant impact.

"It seems like he hasn't done anything recently. How did he recover so quickly..." Wu Feng wondered. A month ago, he fought against Hua Ma, and his death power recovered a little, but not significantly. Could it be that the aftereffects were strong?

"It must be caused by the conflict between the power of life and the power of death within the young master's body." As light and shadow intertwined, Sha manifested beside Wu Feng, hiding behind him and carefully watching the sunflower field.

Since returning to Gensokyo a month ago, she hasn't dared to reveal her true form because she's near the sunflower field, fearing she'll be captured. Yanji, that woman's strength is terrifying; she'd definitely be able to sense her.

The divine rank is the dividing line; those who reach the divine rank can be considered monsters, especially in Gensokyo, where the monsters are the monsters among monsters.

"A conflict between the power of life and the power of death?" Wu Feng's expression became subtle, a contradictory mix of apprehension and disbelief...

"Youxiang usually doesn't leave the sunflower field," Wu Feng said, patting Sha's head reassuringly as she looked behind him, not looking directly at the sunflower field. Indeed, under normal circumstances, the sunflowers wouldn't come out.

"...Phew, that's good." A small head peeked out from behind Wu Feng, looking at the sunflower field from all sides, as if to make sure there were no dangerous small animals. After a while, it nodded and floated out.

"Of course, it's not necessarily the case if I see something that interests me." After a long pause, Wu Feng finally uttered the second half of his sentence, startling Sha once again...

Wu Feng had always been teased by Sha, and now he was finally going to get his revenge! Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Tsk, little master has such a perverse sense of humor," Sha muttered discontentedly, arms crossed.

"You mentioned the conflict between the power of life and the power of death? Is it to restore power?" After teasing him, Wu Feng asked about the question that had previously seemed unbelievable to him.

“...That’s right.” Originally, she didn’t want to say anything to upset her little master, but thinking about the near-death experience before, Sha’s body still trembled. At least matters concerning strength cannot be taken lightly.

"Within the sunflower field, the life force seemed to be guided into the young master's body, but the amount didn't cause a significant impact; it was always a very weak collision. Perhaps it was because of this stimulation that the death force was almost completely restored."

"..."

"Is someone guiding you?"

“That’s right, otherwise the power of life wouldn’t enter the body of a ghost with the power of death. There must be a guide.” Sha nodded. It had been too obvious over the past month.

...Could it really be as I thought... that it doesn't suit Hua Ma's personality?

Passing by a sunflower field, he saw that his death power was sealed, so he deliberately found a reason to throw himself in, beat him up, and then made him plant flowers, spending a month deliberately guiding the power of life to suppress death and revive the power...

Holy crap, this kind of delicate thing just doesn't seem like Hua Ma's personality at all. Wu Feng's expression right now looks like he's been trampled by a million alpacas. It's not scientific at all.

It's more likely that Hua's mother was just bored and saw him looking for an excuse to beat him up, which happened to coincidentally restore her power of death...

Moreover, the other form of Kazami Yuuka that Wu Feng saw a month ago also surprised him, and his opinion of Kazami Yuuka was overturned in just one month...

"What's wrong, little master... Pfft." Wu Feng's distorted expression completely destroyed any chance of him being a pretty girl, making Sha unable to help but ask with a laugh.

"...Sasha, how likely do you think it is that Gaia will suddenly become a gentle lady, always thinking of others..." Looking at Sasha with regret, Wu Feng thought of a more accurate description.

“How could that be? Even if the Type-Moon world is destroyed, I don’t believe Gaia can become that kind of person.” Having roughly imagined the possibility in her little master’s words, Sa shook her head firmly.

Gaia's personality is better than anyone else's. She may look like a lady, but she has a really bad sense of humor and is always playing pranks on people. She is more ladylike than her useless older sister.

"...I'm seeing that possibility come true right now..." Wu Feng was in tears. Hua Ma's actions were like witnessing the impossible happening...

Perhaps imagining Gaia as a lady, Sha's expression turned strange. Oh my god! The world's will has changed!

"...I think I understand the little master's reaction..."

……

The White Jade Tower of the Underworld is the residence of the underworld's administrators as designated by Yama, but even after hundreds of years, the number of ghosts living there remains extremely small.

Standing before the Heavenly Ladder, gazing at the seemingly endless white steps, Wu Feng sighed, "I'm finally back..."

It had only been a little over a decade since he last left Baiyulou, not a long time, but after experiencing death, Wu Feng felt a deep longing for the place he had always lived.

As they traversed the heavenly ladder and took their first step onto the platform, a childish voice rang out.

"This is the abode of the dead. Living beings, whatever your purpose, hurry back to your world." (To be continued...)

Chapter 349 Still a Loli

Her silver, shoulder-length short hair was tied with a black ribbon that she herself had given her, and the silver strands danced in the gentle breeze.

The outfit is identical to that of Konpaku Youki, only much smaller, and the chest area has been reduced. He is now wielding a genuine sword, which, while not as powerful as Loukan or Hakuro, is no ordinary weapon.

Its shape is very similar to Louguan and Bailou, which suggests that Youki has decided to train Youmu to be the next generation of gardener and will hand everything over to her sooner or later.

The moment Wu Feng saw Xiao Yaomeng, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face. The little loli from back then had finally... grown into a big loli!

I remember when he left, Xiaoyaomeng was only seven or eight years old. More than ten years have passed, and she looks to be about ten years old now... still a little girl!

The growth cycle of a semi-spirit is very long. The time required from infancy to adolescence is based on a hundred years, and a dozen years is only a very short stage in it.

"Speaking of which, is Sister Yaoji employing child labor?" Wu Feng wondered subtly.

Xiao Yaomeng's face was filled with doubt and vigilance. This was her second year on duty, and she had successfully driven away some of the undead that came to Baiyulou, but this was the first time she had encountered such a strange intruder.

Sensing from afar, the other party carried a distinct life force, incongruous with the underworld, like a bright lamp, very conspicuous. Upon meeting, however, they were extremely strange, and a strong sense of death could be detected from them.

More importantly, the intruder looked a lot like Sister Youfeng, an older sister he knew who insisted he call her brother, and seemed even prettier...

"...Who are you~" Although she looked quite mature for her age, her voice still carried a childish tone. Little Youmeng looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar intruder with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Little Demon Dream, you don't even recognize me anymore? That makes your brother so sad. I even tied that hair accessory for you myself back then." He teased Little Demon Dream. Wu Feng looked heartbroken, covering his face with one hand to hide the smile that was creeping onto his lips.

"...Could it really be Sister Youfeng~" Little Demon Dream muttered uncertainly, her vigilance unconsciously lowering considerably.

Subconsciously, Youmu also felt that she resembled Yuuko-neechan, but Yuuko-neechan's power was a death power very similar to that of Lady Yuyuko, so how could she be tainted by the opposite of life...

"...How many times have I told you, call me 'brother'..." Wu Feng's lips twitched, a familiar yet helpless expression on his face. It seemed he'd said this countless times, and emphasized this point to Xiao Yaomeng countless times...

Where did the sensible little demon go...? Did Sister Yaoji do something wrong in her parenting?

"She used to call me 'brother,' but after ten years she's become 'sister'..." Tracing back to the origin of the change, it turns out that the way Little Youmeng addresses her has been changing unconsciously since she returned from the world of Godslayer.

At first, she kept calling him "brother," occasionally throwing in "sister" or two. But later, it was all "sister" and she couldn't hear "brother" anymore...

"It really is Sister Youfeng!" Receiving the familiar reply made Xiaoyaomeng smile happily. Yes, Sister Youfeng would always answer like this. Even though she's the older sister, she insists on calling him brother.

Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Yaomeng's impression of Wu Feng had been completely changed under the influence of someone...

"Sister has become even prettier!" Yao Meng said in a childish voice, hugging Wu Feng with both hands and rubbing her little head against him.

"...Youmu, can we not talk about this anymore..." Wu Feng was in tears, how was I supposed to answer that...?

"Hmm~" Although she didn't understand why her older sister was crying, the sensible Youmu decided not to make her angry on the day she saw her sister again.

"Why does Sister Youfeng have life force on her? Youmu doesn't like it~" Youmu wrinkled her nose, her face showing discomfort. She felt comfortable with her sister, but the power she was tainted with made her uncomfortable.

Half-human, half-spirit is not a ghost, but it has a certain aversion to the power of life, and will not like it even if there is no danger.

"They probably stayed in a flower field for too long; they'll disperse after a while."

"Hmm~" Not knowing why she would be imbued with life force in the flower field, Youmu obediently nodded.

"Let's go back to Hakugyokurou together, sister~ Grandma Youki and Lady Yuyuko will be so happy~" Releasing her arms from Yuuko's, Youmu smiled joyfully and took Yuuko's arm as they walked into Hakugyokurou.

Compared to her previous two visits, Youmu has really grown a lot, Wu Feng thought with a sigh. Whether it's her personality or her height, she's already reached his chest. In a while, she'll probably surpass him... right...

Halfway through her thought, a dark smile crept across Wu Feng's face. Yes, she was about to surpass him, wasn't she? Why couldn't a ghost keep growing taller! Even a half-spirit could…

Why didn't Rumia wait two more years to grow bigger before eating me... that way there would be more flesh, and you can tell from my current size how weak I was when I died...

……

"...It's good that nothing happened." Having waited for a long time in front of Baiyulou, Yaoji immediately checked Youfeng's body after meeting him. Although he was a little different from ordinary ghosts, there was nothing seriously wrong with him, which finally put her at ease.

When Wu Feng got into trouble, Yakumo Yukari kept it a secret, but after he was safe, some things still got out, such as the fact that he was on the verge of death in the other world and almost disappeared.

After learning the truth, Youki almost went berserk, but Yuyuko stopped her in time...

Because before her, Yuyuko went berserk... without giving Youki any time to react.

Youki still remembers the concept of death that unconsciously surrounded Yuyuko back then, which was absolutely enough to make all humans within a thousand miles commit suicide.

If we were to say which faction Wu Feng has the best relationship with in Gensokyo, it would undoubtedly be Hakugyokurou. From the moment he arrived in Gensokyo, he has almost always lived in Hakugyokurou and has become one of its members.

Similarly, she was also recognized by Yuyuko.

Yuyuko, who became the ruler of the underworld, lost her memory and had to start from scratch. She only trusted Youki, who went to the underworld with her, and then there was Yukari Yakumo, her friend from her previous life, the third Yuuko, who joined Hakugyokurou almost a hundred years after she became the manager and has been a ghost ever since.

Hakugyokurou is Yuyuko's home, and those who live there and are recognized by her are her family.

Although Yuyuko doesn't usually do anything overly indulgent, when something really happens, the crazy Yuyuko can be absolutely terrifying, which is why Yukari Yakumo doesn't let Ran tell Yuyuko.

Fortunately, Youfeng's safety had been confirmed, thus preventing a disaster. (To be continued...)

P.S.: I heard that the backend will be inaccessible for a few days next week, and chapters need to be set up for automatic publishing in advance---this makes me, who has no drafts saved up, cry tt

Chapter 350 I really want to eat the spirit companion~

The matter didn't end there. From Yukari Yakumo, Youki and Yuyuko received another piece of information: the person who almost killed Yuuka was a special transmigrator known as the Proxy.

Monster Mountain naturally received the same news. How could they remain silent when their prospective son-in-law was almost killed? Upon hearing this news, the whole world became abuzz.

Under the leadership of the three major forces—Hakugyokurou, the Youkai Sage, and Youkai Mountain—an event has been stirred up not only in Gensokyo but also in the outside world: the expulsion of transmigrators. It is still the time when youkai rule, and the development of technology also takes time. No one can stop the great youkai from going wherever they want.

With Yakumo Yukari's help, she began to expel transmigrators from all over the world. Those with bad personalities were blasted to smithereens, such as Kazami Yuuka... Under Yakumo Yukari's eerie gaze, she also participated in the expulsion plan for transmigrators. Almost no transmigrators escaped alive from her hands.

This also made Gensokyo a forbidden place. Both outsiders and those who acted on behalf of others understood one thing: if they didn't want to die, they shouldn't go to Gensokyo, because it was the fastest path to liberation...

Gensokyo has spread across dimensions in another way, and the source of it all is right before our eyes.

"Sister Yaoji, what's wrong with me..." Wu Feng asked, feeling uncomfortable under her gaze. The only thing unusual was her changed spiritual form. As a quasi-god level expert, she wouldn't care about such a small matter as her appearance...

"It's nothing, it's just been a long time," Youki said softly with a gentle smile.

Sure enough! I knew true masters wouldn't care about looks, or even height! But his next sentence plunged him into despair…

"You've become even more beautiful, haven't you? Lady Yuyuko will be so happy to know," a mischievous smile playing on his lips. Youki ruffled his purple hair. Hmm, who was it that instilled certain ideas into little Youmu's mind...?

"Stop teasing me, Sister Yaoji..."

"Alright... welcome home." After teasing him, Youji hugged Youfeng and said softly as if he were talking to a younger brother.
