Moe Girl Guardians

If Wu Feng heard this, he would definitely say, "Young lady, you guessed right..."

"My young lady is the mistress of Hakugyokurou, the administrator of the Underworld, Saigyouji Yuyuko. I am Saigyouji Yufu, the steward of Hakugyokurou. With the young lady's protection, there will definitely be no problem." Wu Feng revealed the name of Hakugyokurou without hesitation. There is still a barrier between the Underworld and the Reality. To go back and forth, one must pass through Shiki Eiki's barrier. Moreover, it is the Western Continent. It is basically impossible for anyone to know even if he tells them, so there is no need to make up a story.

Shen Yue thought for a long time but couldn't think of any famous forces nearby called Baiyulou. She could only conclude that she didn't know enough about them and that they might be some kind of hidden force.

"Would Lord Saigyouji agree?" The Holy See is a behemoth in the Western Continent, and Shingetsu is somewhat skeptical that the other party would offend the Holy See for their sake.

"It's okay, it's okay, my young lady is very easy to talk to," Wu Feng waved his hand, indicating that he could handle it.

"Then we'll have to rely on you."

After half a day, Wu Feng and his group finally arrived at their destination, Jinglan Mountain. To Wu Feng, it was more like a mountain range than a mountain, with no end in sight.

"Shingetsu, is this the place?"

"We need to enter Jinglan Mountain; the entrance to the barrier can only be found at a specific location within it."

Well, looks like there's still a long way to go...

Both of them felt a bit annoyed by the location; it was hidden inside, and with a little protection, even the Vatican would have a hard time finding it...

Three more days passed before they finally reached the entrance and entered the barrier. It wasn't the distance that was difficult, but rather finding the entrance itself. With such a vast mountain range, who could remember the exact location?

Inside the barrier, everyone stared in disbelief at the massive building before them. Although they had been prepared, Wu Feng was still taken aback when he actually saw it.

I've seen the Vantor family's castle before; it's not small, it can be described as huge. But compared to the Scarlet Devil Mansion in front of me, it's nothing, less than a tenth of its size!

The Western-style mansion, with its overall dark red color scheme, was roughly estimated by Wu Feng to be at least one kilometer long, though the exact length was still unknown. There was a huge clock on the roof, and the Scarlet Devil Mansion was surrounded by a huge courtyard, at least four times the size of the mansion itself. Wu Feng was very suspicious that when Remilia later arrived in Gensokyo, the courtyard was either rebuilt or she took the courtyard with her.

"What a spendthrift!" As Wu Feng moved a little closer, he was even more impressed by the Scarlett family's wealth. He could sense a faint energy aura on the building materials of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. In terms of strength, it was hopeless to destroy the paper-level structures, and it would take time to destroy the parallel-level structures.

Shen Yue couldn't argue with that; even she felt it was excessive spending...

No wonder the Scarlett family was wiped out. They were asking for trouble. How much free time did they have to build the Scarlet Devil Mansion...?

Wu Feng felt that the Scarlet Devil Mansion alone cost enough to empty the coffers of any of the Thirteen Clans; it was an enormous building constructed with special materials…

"Go inside and rest first. I'll go get the keepsake from my young lady later."

Of course, he couldn't actually go back. Wu Feng's plan was to go out for a stroll and return in a couple of days. As for the tokens, he had plenty on him.

Meanwhile, the three members of the Vatican were discussing what to do next.

"Defeated the Demon Child. Should the quest continue?"

All three hesitated. They would do their best to complete the mission if possible, but now it was difficult to even complete it. It would be fine if there was only one vampire, but the presence of a second, stronger vampire forced them to think carefully, since a single blow could break the combined strength of the three of them.

"Let's ask headquarters for help and request a higher-ranking archbishop to lead the team," Bishop Leif suggested. Even the three of them combined wouldn't be a match for an archbishop of that caliber, so they should be able to deal with that anomaly.

“Let’s give up. This is a critical period in the standoff with the vampires. Any archbishop is a valuable asset, specifically used to restrain the vampires’ experts. Even the Papacy can’t spare many archbishops.” Beth’s smile was somewhat bitter. He never expected the Papacy to be in such a critical situation. He even began to wonder if it was too early to break ties with the vampires.

"Are we just going to let them go like that?" Leif asked, somewhat unwilling.

“Even if the archbishop could come, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to do anything,” Ritter, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly said.

"Following their direction, the next area will be densely populated with the thirteen clans. Bishops are fine, but the appearance of an archbishop would only trigger war. The Holy See won't wage a full-scale war for the Demon Child and the vampires."

Silence fell again. All three knew the attack had failed completely, and they wouldn't be able to pursue the Demon Child for a very long time. (I've received a private message~)

Chapter Fifty-One: Departure

Inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Wu Feng, dressed in his ever-present butler's uniform, stood on a luxurious wool carpet, knocking on a door. He had originally intended to change into a normal butler's uniform, but somehow, Shingetsu had been tricked by someone and had a bunch of identical ones made for him. Well, at least he wouldn't be short of clothes...

"Young Miss, it's time to get up."

"Ugh, what time is it now, Ghost Wind?" After a long while, Remilia's hazy voice finally came from inside the house.

It was already four in the afternoon, almost dusk.

"Let me sleep a little longer... just two hours..." A few words came out intermittently, and the room returned to silence.

A black line appeared on Wu Feng's forehead. He sighed, skillfully took out his keys, silently opened the door, and quietly walked in. What came into view was the young lady curled up in the very center of the large bed.

Remilia was wearing a pink, super short spaghetti strap nightgown, a pink soft hat with a red string tied on her head, curled up on the soft bed of the same color, with an unconscious smile on her lips. There were also red threads of unknown meaning tied around her thighs, hands and feet, and the quilt had long been kicked away somewhere.

Even after watching it countless times, Wu Feng still felt a surge of cuteness.

Wu Feng took two steps to Remilia's side, a megaphone appeared in his hand, and he took a breath and spoke to Remilia again.

"Young Miss, it's time to get up!"

Ten minutes later, Remilia, now dressed in a pink gothic Lolita outfit, covered her ears with teary eyes and walked towards the hall with Wu Feng.

Upon reaching the hall, Shen Yue was seen pulling the second young lady, who was disheveled and yawning, towards them. Based on past experience, it was clear that she was also unresponsive to being called. Shen Yue then changed her clothes and helped her out...

The two looked at each other and smiled wryly. Nearly fifty years have passed, and nothing has changed.

Fifty years ago, after arriving at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Wu Feng took the opportunity of asking the young lady for permission to wander around the area for a while before returning. He then took out the teleportation card that Youki had given him when she left. The powerful force attached to it almost made Shingetsu faint, which also made him feel much more relaxed.

Therefore, he lived in the Scarlet Devil Mansion for four or five years and served as its butler for four or five years. After that, everyone got used to Wu Feng's presence and forgot the original reason for staying.

Compared to being the butler of Hakugyokurou... it's really not easy being here... The huge Scarlet Devil Mansion is managed by only him and Shingetsu. Cleaning is another matter, as he can't stop Sakuya's time, and there aren't a bunch of fairies to help. Fortunately, most places in the Scarlet Devil Mansion have their own dust-removing barriers, so it only needs to be cleaned up once in a long while.

Huh? Speaking of which, Bai Yulou only seems to have three people, and they're not any smaller than this. How did I manage to get through it all back then...?

Then more than fifty years passed.

"You need someone to wake you up? Tsk tsk, Remi, you really haven't grown up yet," Sha, who was already sitting on the dining table, teased Remilia while drinking red tea.

"Hmph, you scheming baka, who hasn't grown up? Vampires are nocturnal creatures, why do they have to get up in the afternoon... I'm so sleepy," Remilia retorted with a yawn. Wu Feng was somewhat surprised by the relationship between Sasha and Remilia. He had originally thought that Remilia was as scheming as Homo da Vinci, but now it seemed that... she wasn't so scheming after all.

Maybe it's because they're all little girls? But they still bicker a lot from time to time.

Afternoon? The sun is almost setting!

"Young Miss, can't you learn from Shen Yue? You always get up around noon," Wu Feng advised. This wasn't the first time...

“Kamizuki is a special kind of vampire, so you can’t judge her by normal standards,” Remi retorted, sitting at the table and leisurely sipping her black tea.

To this, Shen Yue could only shake her head with a wry smile. Actually... she also really wanted to sleep until night!

There are still enough blood reserves in the rear, and Wu Feng will occasionally go and get some blood, so three people are enough.

"It's been calling for fifty years and it still can't get up. It can only be said to be some kind of sleepy creature." After finishing her black tea, Sasha was more energetic and started talking again.

"You cunning idiot!" Remi stood up abruptly from her chair, pointed at Sa, and was about to say something when she was lifted up by a pair of arms.

"Miss, pay attention to your appearance!" Before Remy could make her next move, Wu Feng lifted her down and put her back on the chair.

Remi sat down, her face flushed, unable to speak. Her expression almost made Wu Feng swoon again. This was the first time he had done this in fifty years, and he didn't know how he had managed to do it.

Sha, who witnessed the whole process from directly in front, laughed again. At the same time, Wu Feng seemed to be able to see a ghost face formed by black energy condensing behind Sha.

How dare you do such a thing so casually in front of me? It seems the punishment wasn't severe enough.

"If you keep doing this, you'll never grow up," Wu Feng, already somewhat regretful, quickly changed the subject.

“It was never going to grow up anyway…” Remi recovered and lowered her head in disappointment.

"My current size is very convenient, and I'm very agile, but it would be best if I could grow eight years older," Remy thought, glancing at Wu Feng.

“Little Master, it’s about time you spoke up,” Sha, whose ghostly face was almost solidifying, suddenly said.

"What?" Sha Gang's words aroused the curiosity of everyone except Wu Feng.

“Fifty years have passed. The eldest and second young ladies have both risen from the strong level to the lower level of the fierce level, right?” Wu Feng said.

"That's right, who do you think I am? I am Remilia, the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion," Remilia said proudly, raising her little head.

It's no wonder they're one of the major powers in Gensokyo. In just fifty years, Remilia and Flandre, who didn't train much, reached the lower level of the Ferocious Realm, and the outcast Kamui reached the middle level of the Ferocious Realm. In comparison, it took them a hundred years to reach the lower level of the Ferocious Realm, so fifty years only increased their level by 40.

From [Low-rank Ferocity: Level 3] to [Low-rank Ferocity: Level 43], in another two years, I will fall behind Remilia.

“Remi and Flandre have both reached the lower level of the Fiend rank, and Shingetsu has become the middle level of the Fiend rank. It won’t be easy for the Holy See to pose a threat to the Scarlet Devil Mansion anymore. I should go back to Hakugyokurou.” This was the first time Wu Feng had addressed Remi and Flandre by their proper names since becoming the butler.

Unfortunately, Remilia wasn't so happy to hear this. She felt a little empty inside. If Wu Feng hadn't brought it up, she would have almost forgotten that Wu Feng had only temporarily become their housekeeper to protect them.

"Is big brother leaving? Fran is reluctant to part with him." After fifty years of living together, Fran's personality is still a bit erratic, but most of the time she is normal. At least she won't break Wu Feng carelessly. She reluctantly throws herself at Wu Feng.

"I just want to go back to Baiyulou. I'll come back often when I have time." Well, that's a complete lie. Even if I know the way, I can only come once every four or five years... unless Zi Ma helps me.

"Then big brother must make a promise to come back often, otherwise Fran will break big brother." Fran's little hand clenched as an example, making Wu break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he wondered if he should go back and ask Yuyuko to talk to Yakumo Yukari, otherwise he might really be broken next time he came!

Chapter Fifty-Two: Enhancement Ruins a Life!

This departure wasn't because of Sha's words. Ten years ago, when Remi reached the lower level of the Ferocious Realm, he had already received news that the mission was completed, but he was still a little worried, so he delayed until Shenyue reached the middle level of the Ferocious Realm. He decided to leave because he couldn't help much. Even if Sha didn't say it, Wu Feng would have told them recently.

"Mission to save the little girl complete, earning the Gold-level achievement 'Become a Weird Uncle'!"

[Gained 20 Stigmata, current total 63 Stigmata]

(In fifty years, my integrity has increased by 5 stigmata.)

Upon seeing the achievement rewards, Wu Feng had a guess about the content of the achievement system's rewards. Based on his years of experience, achievement rewards generally include one item of a lower level, 5 fragments of the same level item, and 1 to 3 fragments of a higher level item. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the strength level achievement, which gives items of the same level item. There should be similar achievements for others.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, but Yufeng, you're the butler of my Scarlet Devil Mansion. I'll take you back sooner or later!" The silent Remi suddenly stood up, pointed at Wu Feng with one finger, and shouted arrogantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, two more notification sounds rang in Wu Feng's mind.
