Moe Girl Guardians

On the other side, Luo Hao was in no better shape. The golden aura on his body was completely dissipated by the slash, the golden dragon disappeared, and the impact was easily blocked. He floated in mid-air in astonishment as Wenwen.

Caught between the two, Yaoji hesitated, holding both the White Tower Sword and the Louguan Sword, but in the end, he had to step in to stop them...

But Youki didn't want that... because she would have to clean up the mess in the end! After experiencing the Youkai expansion plan, she had already taken precautions against this.

Before the collision, its power exceeded her defenses, already causing significant damage to the ground and sky. If this were to happen, what would become of the Sakura Garden? She'd have to clean it up herself…

According to the great demons, the clash between Luo Hao and Wenwen, although almost reaching the limit of separation, was not a big deal. Even if they tried to stop it after the outcome was revealed, it would still be possible.

By blocking the two, Youki could roughly tell the difference in their strength. Wenwen's [Beacon of the Descent of the Heavenly Grandson] was slightly stronger, but Luohao's [Earth Dragon Heavenly Dragon Kick] would definitely break through the protection of the silver tornado and cause damage to Wenwen.

As a result, the most likely outcome is that both sides will suffer losses.

“Even a contest should be conducted in moderation. You’ve gone too far.” Yao Ji put away the White Tower and Louguan swords and his expression immediately became indifferent.

Looking down at the wrecked land and the fallen cherry blossoms, Wenwen felt a little embarrassed. While Luo Hao's attack had caused some damage, she was responsible for 90% of it…

Luo Hao also turned her head slightly, remaining silent, or perhaps unsure of what to do. Her sworn brother respected Yao Ji greatly, making it difficult for her to refute him.

"For now, I'll accept you as my sworn brother's fiancée," Luo Hao said casually as he walked past Wenwen on the way back. He then added...

"But I won't just hand over my sworn brother to you like that."

Wenwen's pretty face was filled with conflict; what kind of trouble had she caused...? But Luo Hao's approval gave her a sense that at least there had been some results, and it wasn't such a complete loss...

……

"You guys really dare to do this..." Wu Feng said speechlessly to the two people beside him as he returned to his seat. Fighting in front of a great demon, tsk tsk, anyone else would have been wiped out long ago.

After returning from the battlefield, Wenwen sat to Wu Feng's left, while Luo Hao quietly sat on the other side, looking quite like a literary young girl, if you don't consider what happened before...

"She's your sister... Her personality is much more exaggerated than you described," Wenwen whispered, leaning closer to Wu Feng, trying not to let Luo Hao hear, lest he start another round.

"Is it really that exaggerated..." Wu Feng pressed his brow with one hand. Although Luo Hao could be seen to be a bit domineering when he was with him, he should be alright overall.

"But your sister is much stronger than you," Wenwen said with a wicked smile, leaning against Wu Feng. It was clear that Wu Feng was still only at the early stage of the Berserker Realm, not to mention that his actual combat strength was still far behind theirs.

However, Wenwen, who had been controlled by Youfeng at close range, was absolutely convinced that his strength at full power was definitely more than that.

"Could we not bring this up..." Wu Feng said dejectedly. He had only recently broken through to the lower level of the Berserker realm, and it would take him quite some time to improve further...

"Hmph," Wenwen laughed smugly.

Witnessing the couple's intimate behavior, Luo Hao felt displeased, but he simply watched quietly. Since he had already accepted his fiancée's status, there was no reason to stop anything that happened.

“Now that Wenwen is back, we should discuss serious matters,” Lingjiu Yilin said, giving Wenwen a slightly reproachful glare, seemingly displeased with her antics.

"It's about time." After feeding Yuyuko to the point where her basic needs were met, Yukari Yakumo nodded slightly.

"What would be a suitable day for Wenwen and Youfeng's engagement?"

Upon hearing the word "ouch," Wenwen and Youfeng froze simultaneously, their two little heads bumping together as they instinctively cried out. Luo Hao on the other side also clenched his hands slightly.

"There's no need to be this happy," Lingjiu Yilin said this time without reproach, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at the two of them.

"When is the date of the Youkai Mountain's decision?" Yukari Yakumo asked with interest.

"We've been preparing for over a decade, and we can't delay any longer. We, the Yokai Mountain, believe the sooner the better. If we can hold it tomorrow, that would be ideal." Lingjiu Yilin's eyes were filled with anticipation. Having lived for countless years and been idle for countless years, this eternal loli tengu was already impatient.

...Wu Feng felt a bit of a stomachache. Holy crap, tomorrow? How can they even say that at this time?

"Tomorrow is still too short a time. Not many people know about it yet. The Demon Mountain certainly doesn't want only a handful of people to attend the banquet."

Zi Ma's words made him feel a little better, but his stomach also hurt more... There were really too many people coming, it would have been better to start tomorrow!

Wu Feng, and even Wenwen, had given up on resisting the possibility of being refused.

"..." Ling Jiu Yi Lin's face showed a little conflict. On the one hand, she couldn't wait to hold the banquet, and on the other hand, she wanted to hold the most lively banquet.

"Within a month, the oni race will be leaving Gensokyo next month, at least before they leave."

“Alright, what do you think, Yuyuko?” Yakumo Yukari nodded slightly. This time also provides a considerable buffer to do other things.

"The sooner the banquet starts, the better~" Yuyuko's eyes were already filled with food. A grand banquet at Youkai Mountain!

"It seems we've been completely ignored..." Wu Feng said miserably, leaning on Wenwen.

“…Hmm,” Wenwen nodded helplessly. Who exactly was the person involved…?

P.S.: My gums bled three times in two hours this afternoon.

Chapter 360 Saigyou Ayakashi, I've Come to Find You

The sky of the underworld is perpetually dark, with no distinction between day and night. The banquet lasted for several days before finally ending. After setting the date for the engagement, Lingjiu Yilin, along with Wenwen and Ji Haitang, returned to Youkai Mountain to announce the arrival of Gensokyo.

After Yakumo Yukari returned to the Gap, Wu Feng went alone to the back of Hakugyokurou, to the place where Saigyo Ayakashi stood, and quietly stood in front of it.

The hundreds-of-foot-tall Westward Journey Demon pierced through the heavens and earth, but not a single branch was bare, and even in the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, there was no sign of it sprouting.

The air here is thick with the scent of death. Even the weaker ones would unconsciously feel the urge to commit suicide under the shadow of the Journey to the West demons. If Wu Feng hadn't already died, he would probably be affected by it too.

"Is this the Journey to the West Demon that my little master mentioned?" Sha appeared beside Wu Feng, her small face solemn as she looked at the hundreds-of-meters-tall giant tree. She could clearly feel the sense of death emanating from it.

"Hmm," Wu Feng nodded slightly, his spirit body exceptionally relaxed. This place might be extremely dangerous for other creatures, but for him, the vicinity of the Journey to the West Demon was very comfortable and his favorite environment.

After Sha awakened and resolved the emergency in Game of Life, Wu Feng mentioned to Sha the changes in the [Netherworld White Jade Tower]. The third stage of the White Jade Tower's power suppression disappeared, and it transformed into possession of Youyouzi, as well as the appearance of the illusory Saigyou Demon.

The changes greatly surprised Sha. Skills obtained through the system, while potentially improving, generally require extremely stringent conditions. After all, since they are not mastered by oneself and lack sufficient understanding, improvement often takes a long time.

【Netherworld Jade Pavilion】is an extremely special skill, and it is even more difficult to improve. The sudden change has forced Sha to think deeply about it.

After entering the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] once, Sha finally reached a conclusion. The Void World of skills is gradually being perfected.

Every complete world will give rise to a world will. Even skills are no exception. However, it seems that due to some special circumstances, the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] first possessed a world will, and then gradually made the world complete.

Because the world is not yet fully perfected, Wu Feng cannot meet or communicate with the world's will for the time being. Only after the [Netherworld Jade Tower] is perfected will he be able to see the newly born world's will.

“If we could find a way to obtain a branch of the Saigyou Ayakashi, it would indeed accelerate the world’s improvement, but is our young master really sure he wants to do that?” Sa murmured, looking at the Saigyou Ayakashi.

The progress of [Netherworld Jade Tower] is currently in the materialization of the Journey to the West demon. Obtaining relevant information will definitely speed things up, but it's too dangerous.

This Saigyou Ayakashi brought Saya an extremely ominous feeling; the intense sense of death even surpassed that of Yuyuko. If it were in terms of youkai power, there probably wouldn't be many great youkai in the entire Gensokyo that could surpass it.

"Hmm," Wu Feng nodded in response, knowing all too well the danger posed by the Western Journey Demon.

What is the Saigyou Ayakashi? It is a yokai tree that lived longer than Yuyuko. Countless people died under its tree. In the end, Yuyuko, who hated death, had no choice but to commit suicide under the Saigyou Ayakashi to seal it away.

In the end, for reasons unknown, he and Yuyuko ended up in the underworld together.

The so-called seal is merely to confine the power within the Saigyou Ayakashi, preventing it from spreading outwards. Even so, getting too close can still induce suicidal impulses.

Ghosts aren't dangerous? The death brought by the Saigyou Ayakashi isn't just limited to life. If it weren't for Yuyuko's seal, Wu Feng would have been taught a lesson in no time...

“Even if the world were complete, the improvements it would bring wouldn’t be as great as the young master imagines,” Wu Feng’s insistence made Sha unable to help but persuade him.

"?"

"【Netherworld Jade Pavilion】After all, the original body is a special skill. The completion of the world brings the integrity of the rules, making it less likely to be destroyed, etc., but the area will not increase much." Sha's voice was slightly guilty. How could the improvement brought by the completion of the world not be high? Just the appearance of the Saigyu Ayakashi alone could increase the degree by a lot, but as I said before, it is too dangerous.

"Can it increase sturdiness? That alone is enough." A glint flashed in Wu Feng's eyes. He had suffered countless times from the [Netherworld Jade Tower] breaking. Increasing sturdiness was enough for him.

Another point is that Wu Feng has been feeling uneasy lately, as if he has forgotten something, and his mind keeps urging him to become stronger.

"Then we can ask Yuyuko for help. With her divine power, there's absolutely no danger. Why do you have to do it yourself?" Sha was frustrated. Why wouldn't her little master listen to advice? The power contained within the Saigyou Ayakashi was too ominous.

"We can't ask Yuyuko..." Wu Feng said firmly. Yuyuko's body was buried under Saigyou Yao, which was how Saigyou Yao was successfully sealed. If Yuyuko came to help, who knows what might happen? Wu Feng didn't want anything to happen to Yuyuko.

"Sha doesn't care anymore... Master, you can choose for yourself." With a pout, Sha returned to Wu Feng's body, ready to deal with any abnormalities that might occur.

Feeling a slight apology to Sha in his heart, Wu Feng pressed one hand towards the Western Demon.

The moment he touched the dry bark, a powerful death energy surged into his body through his right hand. It was filled with hostile death energy and seemed to want to kill his spirit. Wu Feng's expression changed, and he quickly slapped his right hand with his left hand. Once the bark was out of reach and the source was lost, the energy was gradually suppressed and expelled from his body.

"Little master, you should give up," Sha advised again. She had been frightened just now, and she didn't want to see what had happened again.

Wu Feng was also somewhat conflicted. He couldn't even seem to touch it, so how could he break the branch...?

From the moment they made contact, Wu Feng realized that the death of the Western Demon was on a completely different level from his own; even a trace of it would require at least ten times more of his own death power to negate...

The sensation of contact reminded him of his talisman skill, "Hua Xu's Undead," which released the power to kill all concepts of existence, the dead butterfly, and expel the demonic energy of the Journey to the West demons. Wu Feng felt that his death power was not neutralized, but killed.

"Let's try one last time," Wu Feng said in a low voice.

The spirit gradually floated off the ground and flew towards the thinnest branch of the Western Demon's finger. Although it was extremely dangerous, it could barely withstand the attack by consuming ten times the power of death. If the branch could be broken in an instant, there was still a chance.

At the very top of Saigyou Ayakashi, Yuyuko's expression was filled with strange confusion. Saigyou Ayakashi gave her a very special feeling, like another clone, but she didn't understand why.

Gently shaking her head, Yuyuko glanced at Yuukozuki in another direction, a smile playing on her lips. Within the boundaries of Hakugyokurou, no one's movements could escape her senses. (To be continued...)

P.S.: My gums are bleeding again, lol

Why is that?

Chapter 361 You've gone too far playing your game, haven't you?

Floating to a tiny branch on the outskirts of the Journey to the West, Wu Feng's hands emitted a purple light, which grew increasingly intense, its color almost bordering on ethereal.

Although the power of death consumes a lot of energy to resist the demonic power of the Saigyou Ayakashi, it can still play a certain role in preventing the demonic power from entering the body, so it should be done as much as possible.

“Little master, get ready,” Sha’s cautious voice echoed in his mind.

"Judging from the intensity just now and the death power in your hands, young master, you can withstand the demonic power of the Saigyou Demon for 3 seconds. Once it exceeds 3 seconds, you must let go regardless of success or failure."

Wu Feng has gained a basic understanding of the effects of the Third Law, the Cup of Heaven, which grants him a much greater reserve of death power than others of the same level. However, even so, he can only withstand it for about 3 seconds.

"I understand." Taking a deep breath, Wu Feng carefully examined the branches, looking for the most vulnerable spots.

Locking onto a specific location, [Purple Moon Funeral Song] floated to his side. The hardness of the Western Journey Demon was unknown, but having survived for thousands of years, it was not something that could be easily broken. It would require at least full strength. The bonus from [Invincible in Melee] was still quite considerable.

With his hands glowing with a purplish-black light, Wu Feng had reached his strongest state, except for the bonus from the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion]. His eyes narrowed, and he suddenly unleashed his full power.

He instantly gripped both sides of the branch with both hands, blue veins appearing on his arms as he unleashed his strongest power, attempting to break the branch.

In the first second, a cracking sound rang out. Under Wu Feng's immense force, the thinnest branch finally developed a crack.

In the second, the cracks deepened rapidly inward, and the entire branch began to bend.

The third second. The branch was almost on the verge of breaking. Only a sliver remained connecting it to the Saigyou Ayakashi.

Wu Feng was now thankful that he had used the [Purple Moon Funeral Song]. With the help of reduced consumption, concentration, and other effects, his death power exceeded three seconds, giving him a full second more time to finally break the branch.

"Young master, immediately put it into the spatial storage!" At almost the same moment, Sha said nervously, which also woke up Wu Feng. Now was not the time to relax, so he put the branch into the system's spatial storage.

It's just a branch. The amount of demonic energy contained within it is definitely not small, perhaps even more than all of Wu Feng's death power. Because of the help of [Purple Moon Funeral Song], it's fine while he's still resisting, but once the time has passed and he loses his death power, holding onto the branch would be blatant suicide.
