Moe Girl Guardians

Just thinking about it makes Wu Feng want to go on a shopping spree again! 100 Stigmata! That's a huge sum of money these days, enough to buy a decent skill!

However, without the [Gap], I would probably have been beaten to a pulp yesterday, without even a chance to stall.

Yes, Sha was there yesterday too, but unfortunately she didn't witness the end... After all, the battle lasted almost half a day, and it was a very boring clash. For Sha, who likes to sleep, she just went to bed at night, since there was no danger anyway. As a result, she missed the exciting scene...

After yawning, Sha sat on Wu Feng's shoulders, a position she's grown to love more and more lately.

"Tsk tsk, you guys fought pretty hard last night, even your clothes are torn to shreds like this." Looking at the [Gap] on the table, which was so badly damaged that its original form was no longer visible, leaving only a pile of strips of cloth, Sha**ga sighed. Even with low-level equipment, it's not easy to play like this.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. It's already a miracle I came back alive..." Thinking back to what happened last night, I'm just grateful I didn't end up like that...

"It's not impossible to recover; there are three ways," Sha replied seriously after her teasing remark.

"First" held up a finger towards Wu Feng.

"Spending three times the value of your equipment on Stigmata to repair it will restore the durability of the [Gap] to 1, and then you can wait for it to slowly recover. I personally don't recommend this; it's too wasteful."

Wu Feng hadn't considered adopting this suggestion. Looking at his remaining Holy Marks, he only had a pitiful 51 left. To complete the repair, he would need at least a hundred... After all, it was a special equipment, so it was worth at least the same as a B-grade equipment.

"Second," Sha held up her second finger, a wicked smile on her face.

"Purchase Gold-grade Armor Enhancement Scrolls. Each scroll costs only 50 Stigmata and has a 60% success rate in upgrading C-grade equipment to B-grade. After upgrading, damaged equipment automatically recovers its durability. The downside is that it's unclear whether it retains the Rift ability, but generally, it's not a bad deal and is worth trying overall."

"Pass! I'd rather die than use this!" Wu Feng rejected the "option" without hesitation. What's the point of trying it? Wasn't he already badly tricked last time?

"Third," Sha sighed, seemingly regretting not seeing a spectacular reaction, still waiting to help you cut off your hands!

"Find a suitable material for your equipment. Remember the skill fusion scroll? There's also a similar equipment fusion scroll with similar effects. It fuses two pieces of equipment, and the material can also be considered equipment. If the compatibility is high, it can even be upgraded into a stronger piece of equipment. However, the compatibility between equipment is generally very low, even if they have the same function, similar appearance, or even equipment from the same series. There's no loss if you fail, and if you succeed, you might get a piece of equipment of a lower level."

"By the way, there's no material exchange available; you have to find it yourself," Sha reminded Wu Feng again before sitting down at the table, her eyes scanning the room.

I glanced at the Equipment Fusion Scroll, which costs 50 Stigmata, the same price as the Gold-grade Armor Enhancement Scroll. But at least the success rate is extremely high, with no loss if it fails, and you might regret it if it succeeds.

If we could find a special material with a decent affinity for [Gap], we could consider this method; it might yield unexpected surprises. But... do we really have a chance of finding it...?

Just as I was thinking of a few solutions, I suddenly heard the sound of eating next to me. Looking up, I didn't know what was going on, but Sha had already found her prey while looking around and floated to the "love breakfast" that Huiyin had prepared for Wu Feng and started eating.

How dare you steal food from a foodie! Sasha, do you realize you've made an irreparable mistake?!

Exuding a dark aura, he walked up behind Sha in a gloomy manner, clenched his fists, and swiftly pressed them against both sides of his forehead, spinning rapidly.

A special SS-level skill for fighting girls! 【Electric Dragon Drill】

"Ugh! #￥"

A mournful cry and incomprehensible sounds immediately came from in front of her. Looking down, she saw that Sa was wailing while desperately stuffing food into her mouth, determined not to let go even if it meant death.

I was beaten all night and stripped of my clothes, and now you dare to steal my food? You're asking for death! [Electric Dragon Drill] Gear 2!

……

In the end, Sha couldn't resist any longer. She glared at Wu Feng resentfully, then turned and ran back to her consciousness space, ignoring him. She looked at the food, which was almost completely eaten. "I haven't eaten anything yet!"

In a sense, even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory...

There was no hope for breakfast, so I should go check on the mission first... Ignoring the almost empty rice bowl, Wu Feng returned to the bedside and took out a pink parasol.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a fancy umbrella. It looks very simple, pink in color, with white pleats around the edges, just like an ordinary woman's parasol. But this ordinary parasol is enough to block bullets. It is said that you can also use a magic cannon with it. It's an absolutely awesome weapon.

My first impression upon receiving it was, "Holy crap, it's so heavy!" The umbrella looked quite ordinary, but I almost couldn't lift it with my bare hands. I had to use superhuman strength to barely manage to lift it.

Should we be thankful that Yuuka didn't bring an umbrella that day...? If she had been hit by that, she would have been sent flying.

Opening the umbrella, Wu Feng saw two lines of text inside, seemingly the umbrella's name: "The Everlasting Flower of Fantasy" and "The Flower of a Paradise Embracing All Things"... He felt a sense of unease, but decided to ignore it...

Over the next hour, Wu Feng confirmed from various angles that this umbrella was definitely a deadly weapon, especially the tip, which was so sharp it made one's anus clench.

Wu Feng seemed to already see Mother Flower standing in front of the flower field, holding a blood-dripping flower umbrella, smiling arrogantly...

"Holding Yuuka Kazami's parasol [The Everlasting Flower of Fantasy] for one hour, data collection complete, progress on the legendary divine item quest (1/2)"

While Wu Feng was fantasizing about the domineering Flower Mom, the one-hour time limit had quietly passed. The most difficult part of the two requirements for finding the parasol had been completed. Now, all that was left was Purple Mom's parasol. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly...

(Thanks to decker, Heavy Armored Winged Reaper, and December Moonlit Night for the donations. Well, even I don't know what happened that night~)

Chapter 163 Completed in One Month

"Sister Huiyin, I'll be leaving now," Wu Feng said to Huiyin, expressing his gratitude.

"Well, I'll still be in the Human Realm most of the time. You're welcome to come anytime..." Huiyin paused for a moment as she said the last sentence, seemingly remembering something, while a strange expression appeared on her face that Wu Feng couldn't detect.

After completing the legendary artifact (1/2), Wu Feng came out to say goodbye to Keine and prepared to return to Eientei. He asked for a day off, but ended up not returning home that night. Eirin probably won't mind too much...

After leaving my bedroom, I realized that the place I had been staying in before was probably Keine's temporary residence at the Hieda family's house. No wonder there were so many books. As for where I was lying, I wondered if Keine would just throw away that blanket...

Leaving the human village and passing through the magic forest, Wu Feng couldn't help but think of Rumia's situation again. Gathering herbs had truly been fraught with difficulties...

Returning to the Lost Bamboo Forest and back to the Eternal Pavilion, Eirin had been waiting in the laboratory for a long time, watching Wu Feng enter with a very subtle look.

"Youfeng, lately I've suddenly had a bit of an urge to dissect your **."

Wu Feng's face turned pale instantly! Holy crap, he was only a day late, did he really have to be dismembered like this?! Wu Feng also noticed a sharp, reflective object on Yonglin's lab table... Could they really be dissecting him?!

He was already mentally calculating whether it would be more worthwhile to make a quick escape... but with the [Gap] broken, could he really get away...?

"Lord Eirin, you've returned a day late. You didn't need to do something so dangerous, did you?"

“It has nothing to do with you coming back late. It’s only been a day, nothing serious. I just want to dissect you and see what’s inside.” Yonglin stared at Wu Feng with interest, seemingly genuinely wanting to dissect him.

Hey, that's even more dangerous! Don't try to kill someone for no reason!

"Forget it, if I leave you half-dead, it won't be easy to explain to Yukari Yakumo," Eirin sighed after staring at you for a while, giving up.

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng almost blurted out something that would lead to his death: as long as he wasn't completely killed, he probably wouldn't care... His mother had nearly killed him more than ten times... He should thank the almighty foodie; without Yuyuko, he wouldn't even be able to become a ghost!

"Go back and rest. I won't give you any medicine today," Yonglin waved her hand, signaling Wu Feng to leave.

After Wu Feng left the lab, Yonglin turned around, her eyes showing interest and a hint of a smile.

"I never expected your true form to be like that. It's truly unexpected. It's hard to believe you're actually male. Saigyouji Yuuka, I'll remember your name."

Yakumo Yukari naturally wouldn't let Wu Feng go to Yagokoro Eirin's place as a test subject for nothing. The connection between the shikigami and its master led Yakumo Yukari to discover the abnormality in Wu Feng's soul, but this was not her area of ​​expertise, so she could only ask Yagokoro Eirin to help her find the cause.

As a "young girl" who is over 100 million years old, she has surprisingly not lost much of her integrity. She is very serious about investigating the soul problem of Yuuka and discovers on the first day through Inaba Tei that there is indeed something hidden.

After a period of time without any results, Yonglin couldn't help but feel puzzled. Coincidentally, Wu Feng's leave of absence aroused the curiosity of this girl who had been a homebody for countless years. She instantly abandoned all morals and started stalking him, witnessing what happened that night.

When Wu Feng transformed into his soul form, Yonglin was instantly stunned, almost revealing her whereabouts. She immediately returned to Eientei and, after rethinking the situation, gave up on using the drug on Wu Feng. It was clear from the previous experience that the drug was not ineffective, but rather that it was being suppressed. No matter how much she used, it would only be a coincidence that brought out the other form.

Coincidentally, Eirin left right after the battle, missing the chance to see what Bai Ze did to Wu Feng... It seems those things can only be buried in history...

If Yukari Yakumo hadn't specifically warned Eirin Yagokoro, she might have actually considered dissecting her to see what was going on. After all, given her skill level, she shouldn't be dead...

……

In the following days, Wu Feng noticed that Yong Lin seemed to have become a different person. After that, she stopped giving him medicine and only recorded some of his physical conditions, as if she had really shifted her attention to his spirit...

After enduring the terrifying final few days, Wu Feng felt much more relaxed as the month was drawing to a close.

After telling Wu Feng that Yakumo Yukari would come to give it to him personally, Eirin threw Wu Feng out of Eientei.

After Wu Feng left Eientei, Eirin glanced at the center of the laboratory and spoke to an empty spot.

"Yukari Yakumo, I've already sent your shikigami back to you, so why are you coming here again?"

"Oh dear, Eirin, don't ask questions you already know the answer to. We're here to hear the definitive results." In the center of the laboratory, a black slit opened, revealing Yukari Yakumo lying on her side, a folding fan obscuring her face as she smiled at Eirin.

Eirin and Yukari Yakumo faced off for a few seconds, then sighed and used some skill to create a scene between them, showing Wu Feng in his soul form with his clothes ripped off.

"You've really found a treasure. You probably already know what happened in the battle, so I won't go into details. He does have another form, but it's not dangerous at all. It's more like a transformation of his soul. He's currently in the process of transformation, which will take some time. His appearance will also gradually change. When it's complete, he will have undergone a significant evolution in all aspects, and becoming a great demon in the future won't be difficult. There won't be any collapse as you're thinking."

As the number one voyeur of Gensokyo, Yukari Yakumo naturally witnessed that battle and finally understood what was wrong with Wu Feng's soul. After completing her investigation, she immediately came to Eirin for verification.

"Is he undergoing a transformation?" Yukari Yakumo stared at Wu Feng on the screen with interest. She had also seen that battle, and his other form was much more popular than the current one.

"I've completed what you asked me to do, I don't owe you anything anymore." Ignoring Yukari Yakumo's presence, Eirin walked to the experimental table and packed up the instruments she had used during this period. She had really gone to great lengths for Wu Feng, using up a lot of her treasured medicinal herbs.

In the plan to expand the yokai, Eirin agreed to cooperate with Yukari Yakumo in creating a barrier between the real and the unreal. Eientei would permanently reside within the barrier, protected from being discovered by the Moon People. In return, Eirin would do Yukari Yakumo a favor. This was the deal between the two.

"Yukari Yakumo, I'm very interested in your shikigami. How about lending her to me for a while? I'll still owe you one, okay?"

Just before Yukari Yakumo was about to leave, Eirin Yagokoro suddenly said this.

(t_t I'm so tired lately, I barely have the energy to type when I get home)

Chapter 164 The Naked Celestial Fox

"Yukari Yakumo, I'm very interested in your shikigami. How about lending her to me for a while? I'll still owe you one, okay?"

"What do you want to do?" As the gap stopped merging, Yukari Yakumo spoke to Eirin Yagokoro in a very calm voice.

"I'm very interested in what's inside Saigyouji Yuuka's body," Yagokoro Eirin said, picking up an energy-filled scalpel as if she really wanted to dissect it.

After they finished speaking, both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere in the laboratory became increasingly eerie, followed by a storm of murderous intent.

A murderous aura surged towards Eirin. Up until now, she was still the revered sage, Yakumo Yukari, who was feared by all demons. Only in rare circumstances would she lose her composure, but now she would not allow anyone to even glance at her.

"Yagokoro Eirin, I'm warning you, no matter how weak he is, he is still my shikigami, the youkai sage Yakumo Yukari. I will not allow anyone to covet him." Yakumo Yukari exuded killing intent, enough to make any youkai below the madness level collapse.

In some ways, Yukari Yakumo is very protective of her own.

"Put away your pointless killing intent. I thought you'd changed a bit lately, but you're still pretty much the same as before." Eirin didn't react to Yakumo Yukari's killing intent; instead, she mocked her.

A girl who has lived for hundreds of millions of years and a girl who is forever seventeen years old—don't they seem like a good match in some ways...?

At this point, there are only a handful of people in Gensokyo who dare to joke around with Yukari Yakumo.

"Let me give you a little gift before I leave. This is what your dear shikigami thinks of you: 'Auntie!'" Yagokoro Eirin's lips twitched slightly, and her words reached Yakumo Yukari's ears.

Upon hearing Eirin Yagokoro's words, several black lines appeared on Yukari Yakumo's forehead. It was time to find someone to vent her frustration on...

As the gaps closed, Yukari Yakumo disappeared from the laboratory. Eirin Yagokoro smiled and suddenly felt an urge to stalk her again, but considering Yukari's abilities, she gave up the tempting idea.

Leaving the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, Wu Feng began to consider how to find Yakumo Yukari… Heaven knows where Yukari's mother might be spying on him, and he currently has no opportunity to go to Yakumo's house. It seems he'll have to ask Yuyuko for help again…

Just as he turned to walk towards Baiyulou, a gap suddenly opened beneath his feet, sucking Wu Feng inside.

Inside the gap, a passage connecting the Yakumo House to the outside world opened, and Wu Feng, dressed in a special butler's uniform, fell out.

Looking around, there was no one in sight; it seemed I had been teleported to a corridor in the Yakumo House.

Yakumo House isn't very big; you could walk through it in about half an hour. It's definitely not that big compared to places where you could spend a whole day exploring and still get lost.

I was just saying how to find Zi Ma, but I didn't expect to be teleported here like this. Could it be that Zi Ma came back a month later to give out the reward?
