The reputation of the Sage of Yokai, Yakumo Yukari, has reached its limit in the current era. No yokai dares to offend the Sage of Yokai, especially in this Japanese region. The newcomer is wearing clothes that are very similar to those of Yakumo Yukari. Excluding the difference in color, they are almost identical. Just as no yokai dares to offend Yakumo Yukari, no yokai dares to wear similar clothes. Only a very few people, such as Yakumo Yukari and her shikigami, wear them.
"No, the sage of demons isn't that weak. Who are you?" The woman in green was startled at first, but then calmed down and asked in a low voice.
"I am Saigyouji Yufeng, the newly appointed steward of Hakugyokurou."
(Thanks to ct80642470 for the review vote. Just yesterday, I said I lacked confidence in myself, and then this review came, letting me know that people are still reading my book. I'm so grateful! Also, thank you to the anonymous recommender, but unfortunately, I can't find out who voted.)
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Return of Yomi from Gensokyo
"I am Saigyouji Yufeng, the newly appointed steward of Hakugyokurou."
"So you are Lord Baiyulou." Hearing Wu Feng introduce himself, the woman in green breathed a sigh of relief. Baiyulou belonged to the forces of the underworld, and only some powerful demons knew a little about it, and she happened to be one of them.
As the administrator of the underworld, Hakugyokurou's entire force consists of only a few people, yet no one dares to underestimate them. The Huaxu spirit Saigyouji Yuyuko, whose manipulation of death power is almost godlike, and the unparalleled swordsmanship of the gardener spirit Youki, are all close to the sage of the demons. What reassured her somewhat was that the people of Hakugyokurou were relatively easy to talk to; otherwise, a group like theirs wouldn't be worth a finger from them.
"May I ask what brings Lord Youfeng here?" the girl in green asked.
"Just call me Youfeng." The various honorifics used by the girl in green made Wu Feng feel uncomfortable all over... He had only changed into the Yakumo outfit to hurry on his way, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood. But it was fine this way.
"I've only come to say one thing: you've been deceived. There's no such thing as instantly becoming a great monster. I hope you can return to where you came from."
Upon hearing this, the demons gasped in surprise, and almost all of them looked on with suspicion.
"I think you want to monopolize the immortals and become a great demon, don't you?" one of the four mid-level ferocious demons said.
“That’s right. Look how weak he is, how could he possibly be related to Yakumo Yukari? His clothes are definitely fake. If we kill him, we might even get the reward from the Youkai Sage.”
"It's a male monster! Kill him! Kill him!"
Shouts from the yokai were constant, almost all of them wanting to kill Wu Feng. Normally, given the identity of the yokai sage Yakumo Yukari, it would be impossible for her to give Wu Feng a shikigami identity. Moreover, she had never even heard of Hakugyokurou. No matter how you look at it, he was a fraud.
The girl in green standing in front of Wu Feng struggled with conflicting emotions, sometimes glaring at him with a fierce look, sometimes remaining calm, and finally letting out a sigh.
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Youfeng. I had been doubting the truth of the matter. As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Cuiyao will leave now." After saying that, she disappeared from Wu Feng's sight without lingering.
Wu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If that arrogant lower-ranking person had persisted, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
The other demons stared in disbelief at the emerald-clad girl who was quickly leaving. Had Kuang Xiawei just left like that? After the initial shock, many demons were secretly delighted. With their biggest competitor gone, their chances of success were much greater. As for Wu Feng, they had long considered him a dead man.
"Are there any left who still want to leave?" Wu Feng then looked at the group of excited monsters.
"You brat, no matter who you are, get out of here while I'm in a good mood, or I'll make sure you're dead and there's not even a trace left," the first mid-level ferocious-ranked man mocked.
Wu Feng glanced at the bewildered Mei Hong behind him. Her clothes were mostly torn and barely covered her body. Then, looking at the hundreds of monster corpses behind him, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to hold back." A fan appeared in Wu Feng's hand. If he wanted to protect Mokou from the monsters, it would be impossible without sacrificing something.
Wu Feng sighed, thinking he could scare them away with Yukari Yakumo's reputation. "Luckily, that lower-ranking Madman left. Otherwise, even if we used Yuyuko's fan (formerly), we wouldn't have had any hope of winning."
"Is this the last chance? Does nobody really want to leave?"
"Boy, it seems you really want to die!" roared a fierce-looking demon.
"Since that's the case, you can all just die."
【Return to the Underworld in Gensokyo】
The power of death suddenly surged forth from the fan, and the dense demonic aura that permeated the entire forest was instantly covered by the power of death.
The intense power of death chilled the monsters to the bone. Even the only monster of the Ferocious rank felt a chill in its heart. This power was enough to kill it, and regret kept showing on its face. Even the female monster of the Mad rank had run away. How could it be just an ordinary monster? On the surface, it was just a monster at the peak of the Strong rank, but in the blink of an eye, it unleashed power that was infinitely close to the Mad rank.
Under immense pressure, one of the little monsters finally couldn't hold on any longer and begged for mercy.
"Sir, we'll leave immediately, please have mercy!"
"It's too late," Wu Feng said indifferently. The activation of the skill is completely irreversible. If they could escape the range of Huang Quan Gui in an instant, there would still be a sliver of hope for survival.
As soon as the words were spoken, purple halos appeared all over the forest, densely packed with almost no gaps. The halos shimmered with a magnificent light, and the power of death constantly gathered on them. All the monsters felt that these halos had a strong attraction. It was already very difficult for the ferocious monsters to remain still, and those of lower level were directly drawn to the halos.
Wu Feng immediately moved to Mei Hong's side. He couldn't control the skills attached to his equipment, so he was safe from attacks only when he was nearby.
Finally, the accumulated power of death reached its limit and burst forth in one breath.
Barrages of death energy continuously erupted from the aura, with new barrages appearing almost every moment. Almost no monsters below the ferocity level could withstand a single attack, and even low- and mid-level ferocity monsters could only last a few more seconds before dying.
Now, only the fierce monster remains among the bullets, struggling to withstand their onslaught. Every bullet that evades its defenses leaves a significant mark on it, with at least a dozen attacking it every moment.
The monster struggled to raise its head and said something in Wu Feng's direction, its eyes shining with hope. Unfortunately, before its voice could be heard, it was covered by the barrage of comments and fell to the ground dead.
After all the monsters died, the "Return to the Underworld" of Gensokyo lasted for almost a minute before finally dissipating.
The girl in green, who had long since left the forest, looked at the magnificent scenery and her expression changed. In the distance, the entire forest was covered in purple light, and barrages of energy surged upwards, rushing for thousands of meters before gradually dissipating. Some of the death energy then descended to the ground, becoming a new round of barrages.
Each bullet was powerful enough to be considered extremely fierce. As long as she didn't stand still and take the damage, it posed little threat to her. The problem was that this was the power unleashed by someone at the peak of the strong level. Other monsters might think that the opponent was hiding their strength, but she was certain that the opponent was indeed only at the strong level.
Even he couldn't execute such a wide-range, high-level attack; an attack covering thousands of meters would consume far too much energy. He was also thankful he had moved quickly; facing such a force would only result in his instant death.
Mokou looked at the yokai beside her, a hint of doubt arising in her heart. Could it be that he came to save me? But hundreds of years had made her distrust both humans and yokai, and she quickly dismissed the thought.
"Monster, are you here to eat me too?" Mokou was exhausted at this point, and no longer put on her fierce look. Instead, she closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate.
Clothes that barely cover the vitals, close your eyes and resign yourself to your fate, and there's still something else to say.
Young lady, are you trying to seduce me...?
“You’re so dirty right now, we’ll have to wait until you take a shower before we can eat you,” Wu Feng teased.
Meanwhile, his eyes darted around Mokou's body, admiring her skin and hair, tsk tsk, only her chest was a bit flat.
After waiting for a long time without any movement, she heard a strange remark. When she opened her eyes, she found that the jerk in front of her was looking around, glancing at her chest from time to time, with a look of disappointment in his eyes. She knew that she had misunderstood, and when she thought about what he had just said and her own appearance, she blushed.
"You damned monster, die!"
Despite the misunderstanding, he still struck without mercy.
(My results today are so disappointing, lol. My favorites barely increased, and even decreased by one, lol. Please recommend and favorite!)
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Tsundere Girl
"You damned monster, what exactly is your purpose?" Mokou looked at Wu Feng with wary eyes, well, both.
"Would you believe me if I said I liked you and that's why I came to help you?"
Mokou shook her head without hesitation.
Wu Feng sighed. No one believed him when he told the truth.
"Okay, the truth is that when I passed through a gathering place for monsters, I encountered a group of male monsters. They were jealous of my handsome appearance and wanted to kill me, but I killed them instead. A little monster, in order to save its own life, told me that there was an immortal nearby, and that eating her internal organs would make it a great monster."
Mokou gave her a disdainful look. "He's just here to eat me, what's with the pretense?"
"But it's obviously fake. You can tell from the name that an immortal can never die. If they die after losing their internal organs, what kind of immortal are they? Does that mean everyone can become a great demon? Those demons aren't that stupid." Wu Feng was a little puzzled. It's understandable that a weak demon of the Paper-like level couldn't see the situation clearly, but you believe a ferocious level demon? What are you doing here?
“They’re not unaware, they’re just pretending not to know.” Mokou’s eyes were filled with sarcasm as she looked at the monster corpses scattered all over the ground.
"Most of these monsters who came were those who had no hope of becoming great monsters in their entire lives. The prospect of becoming a great monster was too great for them. Even though they knew it was fake, they still tried, gambling on that one in ten thousand chance."
Pretending not to know? Indeed, how could a monster of ferocity level or higher completely believe such a thing?
"Mokou, I have a question for you."
"You damned monster, how do you know my name?" Mokou's eyes showed even more wariness. She had never said her name, but the other party knew it. How could he have just come to help?
Well, it's just a habit of shut-ins to say it, but I can't really say it.
"Could you please stop calling me a bastard monster? My name is Wu Feng. I only learned your name from those monsters before."
"I haven't revealed my name for hundreds of years, so those monsters couldn't possibly know. And just now you clearly said your name was Saigyouji Yuuka, but now you're saying it's Wu Feng. You don't tell the truth at all." Mokou had already marked Wu Feng with the word "liar."
Hey girl, you mispronounced your lines! A tough guy like Mokou wouldn't care about the details!
"Leaving aside those details, what are your thoughts on humans and yokai?"
“Humans…what a nostalgic word.” Mokou was taken aback at first, then laughed self-deprecatingly. Once upon a time, she was one of them, until she met her.
"Humans are an extremely xenophobic race, both internally and externally. Externally, they believe that those who are not of their kind are inherently different, and all non-human beings will be rejected. Internally, anyone who is different from them will also be rejected. They are greedy and selfish, capable of committing unimaginable evils for petty gains, impatient for quick success and instant benefits, fickle, and suspicious..."
When the topic of humans came up, Mokou became very talkative, talking non-stop for quite a while before finally stopping.
"Monsters aren't much better. They're selfish and will do anything for power. They're cruel and bloodthirsty, and have no kindness whatsoever..."
"Just as I thought," Wu Feng thought to himself.
Because of the Penglai Medicine, her body has completely stopped changing, and her muscles, bones, and physical strength no longer increase. She looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Because of this, it is impossible for her to live with humans. Her long journey has allowed her to witness the ugliness of both monsters and humans, and she is utterly disappointed in both. But at her core, she is still a kind person.
Fujiwara no Mokou's age should theoretically be over 500 years old. Subtracting her apparent age, she has lived a life that is hated by people for 485 years. At the peak of the strong level, she is enough to make people dare not provoke her, but it is inevitable that she will be looked down upon. Before meeting Shirasawa Keine, she probably didn't even have a single friend. Wu Feng believes that he cannot endure such a life and would probably go crazy in a year.
If Mokou's spirit had a level, it would definitely be terrifying. Even so, hundreds of years of living had pushed her to her limit. If it weren't for the thought of taking revenge on Kaguya of Houraisan, she probably would have gone mad long ago.
This incident might even have been leaked by her, since the only people from Houraisan who exist in this world are her and Kaguya Houraisan. It's almost impossible for others to know anything about it. Eirin Yagokoro and the Moon People wouldn't be so bored as to spread false information. The reason she did this was probably to challenge all the youkai and find the meaning of her existence in the killing.
"Your thinking is too extreme. Humans and monsters are not as bad as you think," Wu Feng said, frowning. He couldn't bear to leave Mokou like that.
"Do you still want to eat me? If not, I'm leaving." Mokou's eyes flashed with impatience, as if she didn't want to discuss the matter.
"How about this, you and I will go to any village and spend a month there."
"You damned monster, what do you want?" Mokou immediately took a step back, her hands protecting her chest, her eyes filled with even more vigilance.
"I told you I'm not called a bastard monster... I was just verifying what you said," Wu Feng said speechlessly. What was with that defensive look? Do I really look like a monster? It was just an appreciative look!
Considering Mokou's situation, it would be difficult to change values shaped over 500 years through language alone; seeing it with one's own eyes might be better.
"No," Mokou said, a look of pain flashing in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
You owe me a life.
"You can have it if you want, as long as you can take it."
"..." Okay, Wu Feng was speechless; he really couldn't take it away.
You owe me a favor.
"I'll give you my life back"
"..." You're ruthless, Wu Feng was speechless.
"Mokou, what do you think would happen if I hadn't come?" A direct approach wasn't feasible, so a roundabout way was the only option.
"What else can happen? If they find my internal organs are useless, they'll tear me apart in anger, or it'll start a civil war," Mokou said disdainfully, her hatred for yokai had reached a considerable level.
"More than that, they are almost all male monsters. If they find your internal organs are useless, they might tear you apart in their rage. But what happens after that? What if you resurrect and appear naked in front of them?" Wu Feng whispered wickedly, trying to entice you.
Hearing Wu Feng's words, Mei Hong's face turned a little pale. She had indeed not considered these situations.
