Moe Girl Guardians

"...I almost forgot," Wu Feng said abruptly, remembering something he'd been thinking about last night after taking only two steps. "So it's true what they say, you're forgetful when you're not fully awake; I almost forgot."

"What's wrong?" Wenwen turned her head and asked in confusion.

"Go back for a bit..." After walking back to the wooden cabin and putting it directly into the warehouse, Wu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

"You even took this with you..." Wenwen said speechlessly, even though it wouldn't have taken long to build.

"I only realized today that I should prepare a place to stay. I'll find some time to have it renovated and use it," Wu Feng said, stretching as he embarked on his journey anew.

The wooden cabin is indeed crudely made, but he hasn't skimped on the basics. He should work on it sometime; it could become another exquisite forest cabin.

……

They were back on the road, thanks to Rumia. Yesterday they had barely moved, still walking uphill between the foot and the middle of the mountain.

After about half a day, the two entered the mountain's interior. The surroundings changed, and the rugged mountain path suddenly opened up into a relatively flat area.

The trees here seem to be arranged in a regular, staggered pattern. Among the trees is a small, dilapidated temple that looks old and has been built up, standing there quietly.

Not far from the dilapidated temple, in front of the woods, there is a small pond with lotus flowers in the water. The sunlight filtering through the trees shines on the lotus flowers, making the lake seem even more magical.

"This must be the Pond of the Giant Toad," Wu Feng said, looking at the map. The environment here was one of the best he had ever seen.

If you want to go to the banquet where the demons are, you must pass through the Great Toad Pool, which is located in the belly of the mountain and is very difficult for ordinary people to get close to.

Although the Oni clan also held a banquet, in reality, almost none of the Youkai knew where the Oni clan held the banquet, or even if they did, they wouldn't come. The Oni clan didn't have a very good reputation in Gensokyo, and apart from a very few Youkai with whom they had a good relationship, almost no one came to the Great Toad Pond.

"I heard the pool water here is magical~" Wenwen said softly as she squatted down by the clear pool water.

"Are there any gods residing inside?" Wu Feng asked as he walked to Wenwen's side. There would always be a difference between the real world and the information flowing in, so it wouldn't be surprising if something happened.

The temple, prayers, pond, and lotus flowers together made Wu Feng wonder if there were unknown deities residing here.

"I don't know," Wenwen shook her head gently. She hadn't learned anything about this place from the Great Tengu either; she only knew that it was a very magical place.

Whenever someone comes here to pray and offer sacrifices, the sacrifices mysteriously disappear the next day. Some of the people who pray also feel a mysterious power on them that lasts for a long time.

She had come here to investigate several times, but each time she had not found anything unusual. For example, if you kept staring at the offerings, they would not disappear, but in the blink of an eye, they might disappear.

This would confirm for Wenwen that this place must be special, and that there might really be a deity residing here, which would be impossible for her to detect given her strength.

"Perhaps the Heavenly Demon Lord knows something."

"Want to give it a try?" Wenwen suddenly turned to Wu Feng and said with a smile.

"How do we try it?" Wu Feng was also curious after hearing Wenwen's explanation, since he had never even heard of the Giant Toad Pool.

"Let's pray and see if anything really happens," Wenwen said with interest as she landed in front of the dilapidated temple.

Wenwen took out a few pastries from her dress and placed them on the altar of the dilapidated temple. She put her hands together, closed her eyes, and muttered a few words. After a while, she opened her eyes, bowed very solemnly, and then breathed a sigh of relief before coming to Wu Feng's side.

"...Where did Wenwen get those snacks from...?" Looking at where the snacks were taken out...to the chest, Wu Feng asked hesitantly.

"I just took it from a table on the way. Never mind that. Youfeng, go and try it too," Wenwen said nonchalantly, then flew behind Wu Feng and pushed him to the front of the dilapidated temple.

"These should be enough as offerings, right?" Wu Feng asked, turning his head as he took out some snacks from the storage space and placed them where Wenwen had put them earlier.

"Yes, hurry up and pray," Wenwen nodded and urged.

If the unknown gods could hear this, they hoped that the relationship between Wenwen and Rumia could be eased, and that this engagement would not have any more unexpected problems. After hearing Wenwen's words, Wu Feng closed his eyes and prayed in the same way as Wenwen.

Gods truly exist in every world, and true divine beings are born from faith. The corresponding prayers will immediately inform them, and Wu Feng will not treat it as a joke or belittle it.

After waiting for a minute, Wu Feng opened his eyes, stepped out of the dilapidated temple, and continued to advance into the mountainside with Wenwen.

"Wenwen, what did you pray for?" Wu Feng asked curiously on the way. Everyone would be curious about this, and he was definitely not the only one!

“Tell me what you prayed for, and I’ll tell you what I prayed for,” Wenwen said with a slight smile. “Want to hear it? Then trade yours for it.”

"...A secret is a secret if it's mysterious..." Wu Feng turned his head away and stopped asking. It would be too embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Hmph, it must be something bad. Is it a wish to have a huge harem in the future?" Wenwen asked Wu Feng with ill intent, showing no embarrassment at being in the same boat.

"I can do it..." Wu Feng's face twitched. Could it be considered a harem in a certain sense that Wenwen and Rumia were getting along well?

"Hmm~" Fluttering her wings, Wenwen stared at Wu Feng with a strange smile, but she just wouldn't say a word.

"...This is so weird, let's be normal..."

"Haha~"

The two voices in the forest grew fainter and fainter, gradually moving out of the area of ​​the Great Toad Pond.

As Wu Feng and Wenwen departed, the Great Toad Pool returned to tranquility. A faint light gradually appeared in the clear water. In less than a minute, the offerings in front of the temple disappeared without a trace. At the same time, an unknown and imperceptible power descended upon Wu Feng, but neither he nor Wenwen noticed it.

"What should I wish for? I hope Youfeng will always be safe, and I hope it comes true~" (A fantastic event with freebies falling from the sky! Cool phones are waiting for you!

Chapter 379 A Test, Drink Up!

The closer you get to the inside of the mountain, the higher the temperature rises. The Monster Mountain was originally an active volcano, and the temperature inside the mountain is much higher than outside. It is probably one of the most unsuitable environments for Wu Feng. Ghosts are more suited to living in the cool environment of the underworld.

"Why do the demons have to live here..." Wu Feng said, wiping away the sweat that had accumulated on his brow. He really didn't want to stay in this place; it was so uncomfortable...

"Just like how you like being in the underworld, Youfeng," Wenwen said, wandering around nearby and taking pictures every now and then. She didn't come to the ghost clan very often, and the environment was bearable for her, since she wasn't a ghost, a race that naturally disliked heat.

"..." There is no denying it. Compared to this place, the underworld can be considered Wu Feng's paradise.

Gradually, a few demons began to appear around the two, curiously watching them. Occasionally, demons with obvious fighting spirit would appear. Like the Skywing race, these warlike races always wanted to start a fight from time to time.

The aroma of the wine also changed from light to strong. Judging from the generous nature of the Ghost Clan, wine is an indispensable part of their banquets.

The number of people at the banquet was much smaller than that of the Kappa's banquet, less than half the size, and the seats were not full. It was even more than Wu Feng had imagined. The tables were almost entirely filled with various wine jars, with only a few snacks to accompany the wine.

Seeing Wu Feng and Wenwen, most of the ghosts acted as if they didn't see them, continuing to drink and chat about whatever they were doing.

"Yo, is this the little ghost that Ibuki once mentioned?" Neither of the two demons knew many people, and Wenwen's only acquaintance wasn't even on their list. Just as Wu Feng and Wenwen were feeling awkward, a hearty voice rang out.

A fair, supple arm draped over Wu Feng. The smell of alcohol in the vicinity instantly intensified, enough to knock an ordinary person unconscious.

Wu Feng was not as comfortable as he had imagined, with the arm draped over him. The moment the seemingly soft and elastic arm fell, it felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on him, and even the death power circulating in his body was momentarily halted.

The cracks started spreading from the soles of the feet, and a powerful force spread directly into the interior of the mountain.

This force was even stronger than Youxiang's. Fortunately, due to their frequent contact, Wu Feng reacted instantly, and the power of death surged up. A purplish-black light gradually appeared around his body, barely managing to withstand this force.

"If you keep testing, the tengu will fight you to the death, Yuugi," a drunken voice rang out behind the two.

Looking around at the surroundings, Wenwen was surprised. From where Wu Feng was standing, the cracks had spread dozens of meters backward, while the banquet area in front seemed to be protected by a special force and was within a safe range.

Wenwen's acquaintance, Oni Suika, was drinking sake from an Ibuki ladle while speaking to the female Oni beside her.

Compared to the average woman's tall stature, Wu Feng only reached her neck. He wore a white top with red embroidery along the edges, and a blue and red striped skirt with faint maple leaf shapes embroidered on it.

With broken chain-like objects on his hands and feet, coupled with that terrifying power, Wenwen immediately guessed the other party's identity: Hoshiguma Yuugi, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni Clan.

Also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni Clan, she lived for at least twice as long as Ibuki Suika, making her a senior figure among the Oni Clan. She carries the characteristics of Gensokyo and has the appearance of an extremely handsome young girl with a long red horn on her forehead.

Well, because she was taller than the average woman, she also had a very perky figure, and her high breasts almost made Wenwen feel inferior.

"Relax, relax, I know what I'm doing," the voice rang out again, the smell of alcohol growing stronger, exuding a carefree and unconcerned air. At the same time, the pressure on Wu Feng eased, and he returned to normal.

"Little Ghost's reaction is pretty good," Hoshiguma Yuugi said admiringly, with her arm around Wu Feng's shoulder and holding the red Hoshiguma Cup in her other hand. "To be able to react so quickly shows great talent."

"In terms of strength, it's just as Ibuki said. With a little training, he can become a good opponent in the future," Hoshiguma Yuugi said with interest, taking a sip of sake.

At their level, it's incredibly difficult to have a proper fight, and finding an opponent whose personality matches theirs is even harder. Hoshiguma Yuugi doesn't like enemies who are evasive or dodging, like Yakumo Yukari; they're just too boring to fight. Training one herself might be a good solution.

Seeing Yuuka suppressing her strength to fight Yuuka shows how boring these great demons are under normal circumstances.

Only then did Wu Feng realize that the other hand on his body was kneading his arm, as if probing something, but he felt nothing at all.

"Ha! Little ghost, how about a fight with me first?" After taking a swig of wine and letting out a long breath, Hoshiguma Yuugi pulled Yuuka closer to him and said with a slight hint of drunkenness.

As a powerful youkai focused solely on strength, Hoshiguma Yuugi realized that Wu Feng's power wasn't pure, just like Ibuki Suika's curse-type power, and that it possessed some special enhancement. He couldn't wait to try it out.

The terrifying strength was so great that even a slight exertion caused Wu Feng to stagger and crash directly into Hoshiguma Yuugi's arms. Due to his height and the fact that he was leaning to one side, he ended up hitting Hoshiguma Yuugi's chest.

“If you keep going like this, Wenwen will fight you to the death~” With a little force, a strange power pulled Wu Feng away from Hoshiguma Yuugi’s vicinity, and Ibuki Suika said, leaning to one side.

"If you really start fighting, something terrible will definitely happen."

"Little ghost, hurry up and get stronger. When you come to the Old Hell, I'll give you a surprise," Hoshiguma Yuugi said with a hint of disappointment. It couldn't be done today. If he accidentally overdid it, there would definitely be problems. You can imagine what would happen.

"Ibuki, what is our test?" After giving Ibuki Midori a thankful look, Wenwen asked her. The feeling she had just experienced made her quite uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything.

“It’s a test,” Suika Ibuki repeated drunkenly, as if she had just started thinking about it.

"Wait a moment, we'll be right back." After saying a few words to Hoshiguma Yuugi, Ibuki Suika and Hoshiguma Yuugi disappeared from their sight.

"What great strength!" After the two left, Wu Feng rubbed the spot where he had been slapped. It still ached slightly, just like the aftereffects of Youxiang's attack.

As the Ghost King is known for his strength, his pure power is even greater than that of Youxiang, so it was really unpleasant for Wu Feng to feel it.

Instead of her usual complaints, Wenwen turned her head away and groaned in dissatisfaction.

Although I understand that it wasn't Youfeng's fault just now, just like the Rumia incident, even if it was a passive situation, it was still very unpleasant to watch.

"The Ghost Clan's test shouldn't be too hentai, right?" Seeing that Wenwen was ignoring him, Wu Feng changed the subject and continued talking, wondering what he had done to offend Wenwen this time.

"...Given the nature of the Oni clan, it shouldn't be a tricky test like the one Mitsuki takes. It's probably the kind where you can just show your strength and pass," Aya said uncertainly. Although she didn't really want to pay attention to Yuuka, she was quite curious about the Oni clan's test. It probably wouldn't be too difficult.

"Hopefully it won't be too much of a rip-off."

...Not long after, Suika Ibuki and Yuugi Hoshiguma returned, each carrying a sake jar, which they placed in front of them with a clatter.

"This is your test," Hoshiguma Yuugi said to Wen Huawen with a stern smile, his hand resting on the sake jar.

"Wine?" The wine vat couldn't possibly be empty; the aroma of wine emanating from it was even stronger than that at the banquet.

From the moment the wine jar was placed on the ground, the direction of the banquet was constantly being looked at by the oni clan, or more precisely, at the fine wine in the jar, with drooling expressions. If it weren't for Ibuki Suika and Hoshiguma Yuugi still being there, they might have just come up and snatched it away.

"Go eat your own food!" Hoshiguma Yuugi shouted as she turned around, and the entire banquet immediately fell silent, returning to the state it was in when they first arrived. No one dared to look in that direction anymore.

As the Demon King, Hoshiguma Yuugi's prestige among the demons was greater than Ibuki Suika's due to her age. (To be continued...)

P.S.: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I don't know what to say, so I'll just act cute (rolling around~)

Chapter 380 Drink, Die

"This is your test: drink it all," Hoshiguma Yuugi said to Wenwen and Wu Feng with a menacing smile, leaning against the sake jar beside him.

"Hey!!" The first one to be surprised was not Wu Feng, but Wenwen beside him, who made a sound of dissatisfaction.

Wu Feng didn't need to ask to understand why Wenwen was dissatisfied; he would have reacted the same way if he were in her shoes... There were two wine jars in front of Wu Feng and Wenwen respectively, but it wasn't specified that they were the same size.
