Moe Girl Guardians

"Your fighting style has developed its own unique characteristics over the years, and mine is not suitable for you. However, if you wish to learn, I can offer you some guidance."

Luo Hao, with his strong sense of self-respect, naturally wouldn't accept it so easily, and chose to go out to cultivate.

"Have you said goodbye to Youfeng yet?" Yaoji asked again, looking at Luo Hao who had already walked out of Baiyulou and come to her side.

"Thanks to someone's granddaughter, I only caught a glimpse..." Luo Hao replied irritably, his tone tinged with resentment. He had already planned what to say or even do with his sworn brother tonight, but a child had interrupted him...

"...Well, here's some compensation for you." Youki turned his head away embarrassedly. It seemed that he was the one who made Youmu sleep at Yuuka's place. Then a map appeared in his hand, with some areas in red, some in green, and some in yellow.

"I will send you out of the underworld to a remote border region in the Eastern Kingdom, far from the human world. This is information about that place, marking the best spots for you. After that, you can also explore the outside world; perhaps you'll find a path that suits you."

Luo Hao took the information sheet, which was clearly handmade, and silently said thank you.

The map clearly marked the current power distribution in Gensokyo, indicating which areas were dangerous and which were suitable for her to train. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it. Even Luo Hao himself didn't believe it was made specifically for her; the only remaining explanation was that it was thanks to her sworn brother…

Looking back at Baiyulou, Luo Hao thought to himself, "Brother, wait for me. I'll come back next time and give you a surprise." Then he turned and left Baiyulou with Yao Ji.

The next day

"Has Lian already left?" Upon hearing Yao Ji's words, Wu Feng was surprised but also somewhat certain. Given Luo Hao's personality, it would be strange if he could really stay quietly in Baiyulou. He just didn't expect that day to come so early.

"She also asked me to tell you that she will give you a big gift when she comes back." When she mentioned the gift, Yao Ji looked at her with a strange expression. I don't know what she and Luo Hao said before she left, but I just felt a little sentimental.

"Well, then I'll just wait for her to come back." After thinking it over, Wu Feng gave up the idea of ​​chasing after her. Even if she caught up with her, it didn't seem to make any difference. Besides, she believed that Yao Ji wouldn't let her go so easily. He would only let Lian go if he was sure of her safety.

"I'm somewhat confident that Lian can go out, but as for the others, I'll have to trouble Sister Yaoji to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't run away again," Wu Feng said, still carrying a hint of resentment.

"Don't worry, even if I don't interfere, it will be difficult for the remaining few to get out of here," Yaoji said with a smile.

……

A week after Luo Hao left, Wu Feng sat leisurely by the fireplace in the hall of Baiyulou, holding a comic book he had somehow acquired. He would occasionally take a sip of tea, looking quite content. This was the kind of life that a homebody had always dreamed of!

Xiao Yaomeng also sat on the ground, holding the snacks Wu Feng brought back, crunching away as she ate them. The snacks even had the words "morality" written on them.

There was also Yuyuko, who kept eating on the side, and Youki, who sat next to Youmu and looked after her, lamenting that it seemed like it had been a long time since they had spent time like this since Yuuka left.

Erica, Lily, Yuri Mariya, and Ena Kiyoshuin have already gone to "explore" the area. As long as they stay within the territory of Hakugyokurou, we'll turn a blind eye.

Besides them, there was a new member, Sha, who also leaned against Wu Feng. After being persuaded, Sha finally agreed to reveal herself in Baiyulou, explaining that she was a shikigami-like being.

"Hey, little master, are you so relaxed and carefree?" Sha, who was leaning against Wu Feng in a daze, suddenly asked.

"Anyway, there aren't any missions right now, isn't it better to relax?" Wu Feng continued reading calmly. To hell with exclusive weapon missions and stuff, he'd stay home for two years and then think about that.

"A mission? Are you sure, Master? Won't you take another look..." Sha reminded him helplessly, covering her face.

Chapter 151 The Lost Bamboo Forest

"Huh?" After being reminded by Sha, Wu Feng reluctantly opened the task page. After glancing at the tasks, he burst into tears...

Almost everything is unchanged, except for some issues with the mission time limit.

Second Quest: The Legendary Divine Artifact

[Host has arrived in the mission world. The countdown has officially begun. There are currently 359 days remaining. Exceeding the time limit will be considered mission failure, and the next mission will be permanently closed.]

Can't you let a person have a proper rest?! I just finished one mission, and now this thing is causing trouble again... I should have stayed in the Godslayer world a little longer; people bring me food, people bring me merchandise, and I could stay home and watch anime without any worries...

"Sha, what's with this time limit! I've never heard of such a thing!" Filled with resentment, Wu Feng asked Sha, startling even the little demon beside him, who dropped a grain of her decency to the ground and looked at Wu Feng curiously.

"If I said it was a system setting, would my young master believe me?" Sha changed her position, sat on Wu Feng's lap, leaned back comfortably, and then asked.

What's there to disbelieve about "faith"... Everything is reasonable, and it's impossible for there to be no unlimited missions, it's just that the time requirement is too short... Also, Sarah, you're sitting too far in!

"Well, let's think of it that way then..." Following Wu Feng's words, Sha said something quite subtle...

"Youfeng, what's wrong?" Wu Feng's reaction caught the attention of the other three, but of course, only Yao Ji could ask the question.

"Sister Yaoji, what's your relationship with Lord Zi...?" Since the time has already come, we can only try to complete this...

"It's alright. Lady Yuyuko and Lady Murasaki have a good relationship. You're also Lady Murasaki's shikigami, right? If there's a problem, she shouldn't refuse, right?" Youki thought for a moment and replied curiously.

"Could you borrow her parasol for me? Just for half a day." Wu Feng asked Yao Ji expectantly.

"It should be fine... but maybe I won't be able to help anymore." As for the parasol, Youki thought it shouldn't be a big problem, but then, seeing the figure behind Wu Feng, he said with some amusement.

Sensing an ominous premonition, Sarah had long since returned to her consciousness space and calmly watched everything unfold.

When Wu Feng asked to borrow the parasol, a gap quietly opened behind him without any fluctuation or movement. Zi Ma had long been a master of using gaps; who could possibly steal the title of Gensokyo's number one peeping tom?

The blonde girl in the purple robe appeared halfway up the gap, holding a folding fan in front of her face, looking at Wu Feng with a mocking expression.

"Oh dear, little Youfeng, do you want your sister's umbrella? When did you become so timid? You weren't so direct when you called me Zi Ma back then." An extremely gentle voice sounded behind Wu Feng, causing cold sweat to instantly appear on his forehead.

At this moment, Wu Feng's blank mind suddenly recalled the story of mashing keyboards... Should he be glad he didn't have a keyboard in his hand...? If he kept rocking like this, he'd be a living heater...

"...Lady Zi, you've returned from the world of Godslayer so quickly?" Wiping away cold sweat, Wu Feng turned around and greeted Zi.

"Sir? That sounds awkward. I'm a seventeen-year-old girl. You should call me 'older sister'," Yakumo Yukari said with a smile as she stepped out from the gap, tapping her folding fan on Wu Feng's shoulder.

"...Sister Zi?" Wu Feng managed to utter those words with difficulty, feeling that he had almost completely exhausted all his moral integrity in this lifetime...

Under Wu Feng's influence, Yakumo Yukari seems to be developing from a sage among youkai into a carefree youkai ahead of schedule. Hopefully, she won't lose all her integrity before the Hakurei Barrier is established...

"That's more like it." After putting away her folding fan and stroking Wu Feng's black hair, Yakumo Yukari sat down near Yuyuko.

“That world is quite interesting. There are so many false gods that have emerged from faith. They are just too weak. Even the stronger ones I found are barely touching the threshold of godhood.” Although she said it was interesting, there was no boredom on Yakumo Yukari’s face.

...Wu Feng wondered, could it be that Zi Ma directly pulled her true form out of mythology? Having touched the threshold of godhood, she must have risen to a higher position by leaps and bounds...

"Yuki, you're here~" As soon as Yukari Yakumo sat down, Yuyuko floated to her side and sat down with her.

The two of them immediately ignored Wu Feng. It was also their own choice. After exchanging a greeting, Wu Feng walked out of Baiyulou.

"Hey, Sha, did you deliberately not remind me just now?" Thinking about the time Sha had disappeared, Wu Feng felt a surge of dark emotions.

"How could that be? I'm just sleepy," Sha replied in a coquettish tone.

How come you're still so energetic! Never mind, I'll write it down and calculate it all later. Right now, the task is more important. The most important thing is figuring out how to get a parasol without using fertilizer…

Starting from the north of Hakugyokurou, Wu Feng used the gaps continuously, leaving the area of ​​the Underworld and arriving in Gensokyo. He began to wander around unconsciously, while also considering how to borrow the parasol from Kazami Yuuka.

Should I just ask Yuuka for an umbrella? If a ghost runs into a flower field to borrow an umbrella, won't it get killed...?

They're using Yuuka's name to recruit her... but given Yuuka's personality, she'll definitely not give Yuuka face. Whether she can even get out of here alive is a question...

Stealing... such an unreliable method is better left out...

……

After wandering around for who knows how long and coming up with a thousand excuses, Wu Feng still couldn't think of a way to borrow an umbrella and get out alive. Instead, he could write a book about his crazy antics in the sunflower field...

The surrounding environment gradually changed, white mist gradually spread and thickened, and bamboo trees began to appear, much taller than ordinary bamboo. It was no longer enough to describe them as bamboo; they could only be called bamboo trees.

The dense bamboo forest, shrouded in thick fog, is so dense that ordinary people would lose their way after just a few steps, and even weak monsters would have a good chance of getting trapped and unable to find their way out.

When Wu Feng came to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly entered the Lost Bamboo Forest.

After thinking for two seconds, Wu Feng decided to turn around and leave. It was just a mere bamboo forest of the Lost Path; it couldn't possibly stop him. If he were discovered by that ancient bastard hiding inside, he felt that things would be very tragic.

Before they could take two steps, a figure emerged from the white mist and gradually became clearer.

She has short, curly black hair that reaches her neck, and a pair of pink bunny ears that droop down her head. She wears a light pink gothic-style short-sleeved dress with ruffles at the hem and neckline.

A cute-looking thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, Inaba Tei.

Seeing her gave Wu Feng a sudden bad feeling. (Thanks to Hua Meixi for the reward. This week is almost over, please recommend and support on Sanjiang~ Updates will resume at normal times starting tomorrow.)

Chapter 152 Eirin Yagokoro's Medicine

"Lord Yufeng, is it? Lord Eirin ordered me to lead the way for you." Inaba Tei walked out of the white mist deep in the bamboo forest and walked to Wu Feng's side, tilting her head cutely as she spoke to him. If one did not understand her personality, one would definitely think she was a harmless person.

"...Can we not go?" After hesitating for a moment, Wu Feng asked a stupid question. He never expected that he would be discovered by the ancient babbling worm so soon after arriving at the Lost Bamboo Forest...

"Lord Eirin specifically ordered me to come and greet you, so it would be difficult for me if I didn't go," Inaba Tei said with a troubled look, his rabbit ears appearing even more helpless.

"...Alright." Considering that they would have to meet again sooner or later, Wu Feng gave up the idea of ​​running away. Maybe he could even see the legendary NEET Princess.

Upon hearing this, Inaba Tei's droopy rabbit ears seemed to come alive, standing up slightly, and a cute smile appeared on his face. He hopped and skipped, leading Wu Feng into the bamboo forest.

"Um, may I ask what Lady Eirin wants with me?" Wu Feng felt that he hadn't been in the Lost Bamboo Forest for long, so why had Eirin discovered him?

“You can’t call girls that! My name is Inaba Tei. Princess and Lady Eirin usually call me Tei. Lady Yuuka can call me that too.” Tei turned around, put his hands on his hips with displeasure, and introduced himself.

"As for what happened, I don't know. Anyway, Lady Eirin told me half a day ago to come to the Lost Bamboo Forest to welcome Lady Yufeng."

...Just half a day ago, I had only just left the underworld! I have a feeling I've fallen into someone's trap again...

After walking for a while in the bamboo forest, the density of the bamboo trees began to thin out, and a small path appeared on the ground, leading into the deep white mist.

As they continued forward, the white fog began to thin, and the surrounding environment became clearer. Wu Feng then realized that it was already night, the moon had risen high in the sky, bamboo fences appeared on both sides of the path, making the road clearer, and the outline of a building quietly appeared ahead.

Surrounded by bamboo forests, there is an ancient wooden building. It is much smaller than the Scarlet Devil Mansion and the Hakugyokurou, but more than ten times larger than an ordinary house.

Under the moonlight, the quiet bamboo forest and ancient buildings bring a sense of tranquility. Compared to the magnificent Scarlet Devil Mansion, this place is like a secluded retreat, where nobility is hidden in the ordinary.

I wonder how long it took Eirin to design this place? Wu Feng suddenly thought as he looked at Eientei.

"That's where the princess and Lady Eirin live, Eientei. Thanks to the princess's abilities, the environment has been fixed and will never change. It doesn't need cleaning, otherwise it would be a real hassle." As they approached Eientei, Inaba Tei began to dutifully perform the duties of a tour guide, introducing the place to Wu Feng.

Not long after entering Eientei, Inaba Tei led Wu Feng to a bamboo gate. "Lord Eirin, Lord Yuuka has been brought here."

Come in.

Upon entering the room, a row of bottles and jars came into view. The sizable room contained many medicines filled with unidentified liquids, and a young girl was intently studying some of them.

Dressed in a red and purple Taoist outfit embroidered with constellation patterns, with long silver hair braided into a ponytail that reaches her waist, she is Eirin Yagokoro, one of the owners of Eientei.

Even before getting close, one could already sense an unapproachable aura emanating from the other person, which even made Wu Feng consider leaving the house.

Seeing Wu Feng enter, Yagokoro Eirin looked up and observed him for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction. That look made Wu Feng feel like a lab rat being watched… a feeling that something terrible was about to happen…

"Saigyouji Yuuki, right? Yakumo Yukari has already told me about your situation. For the next month, you will be my assistant in the experiment." Putting down the bottles and jars in her hands, Yagokoro Eirin walked up to Wu Feng and said to him.

Huh?! Huh?! When did I get sold out by Purple Mom again?!

"The spirit's quality is not bad. It should last at least a month without any problems." Yagokoro Eirin's gaze towards Wu Feng changed. She had long heard that Yakumo Yukari had acquired a new undead shikigami, but now it seemed that it was not that simple. The spirit was somewhat like a person's body, concealing something. Was this Yakumo Yukari's purpose in sending him here?

"How come you don't know?"

"She tricked me again..." On Yonglin's turf, Wu Feng said it without any restraint. He didn't believe that Zi Ma would come out and tell him to roll on the keyboard at this time!
