Moe Girl Guardians

"Next time you see Lady Zi, please ask her when she's going to give me what she promised me," Wu Feng said resentfully. He had almost sacrificed his integrity (chastity) for this mission, and if he failed to complete it, he would be furious.

"Isn't Yuuka Lord's shikigami? It should be easy to see her, right?" Youki asked with a hint of doubt. She had always had this question: the relationship between Yuuka Lord and Yuuka Lord... seemed rather special?

Wu Feng's face darkened instantly. He was worried that if he went to see Yakumo Yukari in this state, he might accidentally call her "Mama Yukari" in retaliation. More importantly, he didn't know what to do about Ran...

"I'll ask for you when the time comes," Wu Feng's reaction made Yao Ji understand and not press the matter further, so he agreed to his request.

"Youfeng, who is that cat on your shoulder?" Yiyue had noticed Wu Feng's shoulder since they came in, but hadn't had time to ask. Now that she finally had a moment, Yaoji asked.

"I almost forgot to introduce her. Yiyue is a pet I adopted on my way back. Sister Yaoji, please remember to tell Lady Youyuko not to eat her..." Wu Feng said with some trepidation, thinking of Youyuko's personality.

Youji didn't answer Wu Feng's question immediately. Instead, he stared at Yiyue for a while, then stretched out one hand. As soon as he approached Yiyue, the usually lazy Yiyue suddenly bristled, as if she sensed some danger. She immediately jumped from Wu Feng's shoulder to his head, baring her teeth and claws to prevent Youji from getting closer.

Youki thought for a moment before replying with some doubt, "This cat seems a bit strange, but it doesn't seem hostile towards you, so it shouldn't be dangerous. I'll mention it to Lady Yuyuko later."

"Yes, thank you for your help, Sister Yaoji." Although she was also puzzled by Yiyue's attitude, she still thanked Yaoji first.

"I'll go and talk to Lady Yuyuko first, just in case something really happens." Thinking about Luo Hao's incident, Youki felt it was better to go and greet Yuyuko first, since she might appear at any time.

After Yao Ji left, Yi Yue returned to her previous lazy self and climbed back onto Wu Feng's shoulder.

"Yiyue, what happened just now? Why did you react like that? Sister Yaoji didn't seem hostile." Wu Feng asked, stroking Yiyue's forehead with his fingers.

Hearing Wu Feng's question, Yi Yue turned her head and continued to climb up with her back to Wu Feng.

(The release is estimated to be delayed. We'll push it next Sunday, and then it will be officially released. You'll have two more weeks to read the public account~~)

Chapter 167 Wenwen News

After asking Youki and Yuyuko to say hello, Wu Feng started staying home again, this time with Yiyue joining him. He definitely wasn't planning on going out again...

One of the tasks, obtaining Yuuka Kazami's flower umbrella, has been completed. Only Yukari's umbrella remains. She won't give it to him, and Wu Feng is helpless. He can't very well try to steal it, even though the chances of succeeding are almost zero.

Wu Feng calmly took a sip of tea and continued reading the comic book in his hand. This time, nothing could stop him from staying at home. To hell with missions!

"Is this what you asked Lord Zi for?" While Wu Feng was reading comics, Yao Ji walked into the room carrying an umbrella that looked very familiar to him. He raised the object in his hand and asked Wu Feng.

"...They actually brought it back!" Wu Feng, who was halfway through reading the comic, almost dropped it. He had only hoped that Youki would ask and remind Zi Ma to at least give him a heads-up, but he never expected that they would actually bring it back!

"Two days ago, Lady Zi happened to come to see Lady Yuyuko, and I mentioned it briefly. Then she handed me the umbrella and told me to tell you to just leave it with Lady Yuyuko after you're done using it." Yaoji placed the umbrella in front of Wu Feng and sat down as well.

"Youfeng, what do you need the umbrella for?" Yaoji asked curiously, somewhat puzzled as to what it could be used for.

"Just for reference, I wanted to make something." Wu Feng didn't want to lie to Youki, so he gave a reply that mixed truth and falsehood, and began to observe the umbrella.

Compared to the "Eternal Flower of Fantasy", Yukari Yakumo's parasol looks more gorgeous and has a rather girlish feel to it.

Despite being called an umbrella, it doesn't seem to offer any rain protection. The entire canopy is made of soft pink fabric, making it more like a parasol designed for sunshade. Along its edges, layers of pink lace are interspersed, connected by red ribbons at intervals.

As he opened the umbrella, Wu Feng's eyes widened slightly. The inside of the umbrella was not as normal as he had imagined; it was pitch black, with tiny points of light visible within, arranging the interior like a starry sky. Wu Feng judged that it was definitely no less powerful than the [Eternal Fantasy Flower], which could unleash magic cannons, but he had no idea what its specific effects would be.

While Wu Feng was studying Yakumo Yukari's parasol, Youki, who was standing to the side, was also getting a little bored. He took out a newspaper with four big characters on it: "Wenwen News." Looking at the release date, it was only two days away from today.

"Hey, Yuuka, do you have any male relatives in Gensokyo?" Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Youki suddenly turned to look at Wu Feng curiously, then turned back to look at the newspaper.

"No, Sister Yaoji, you should know that I am a transmigrator. How could I possibly have relatives?" Having seen enough, Wu Feng put away the parasol. Now, he just had to wait an hour for their arrival.

"I feel like this person's build is similar to yours, but you should have been at Eientei back then," Youki said with great interest, comparing the person in the newspaper with Wu Feng twice.

Looking at the newspaper in Youki's hand, the first thing Wu Feng saw was the words "Wenwen News," which instantly gave him a bad feeling. He hadn't expected Wenwen News to appear at this time? Or had it appeared ahead of schedule again...? Most importantly, this newspaper had written some reliable content before?

Yao Ji placed the newspaper in front of Wu Feng so that he could see it more clearly. When he saw the contents, countless black lines appeared on Wu Feng's head!

In the very center, there is a large picture, this issue's hot topic, and a line of large text above it.

A humanoid male has been spotted in a sunflower field? Is he a tyrant's favorite concubine, or just a plaything?

The picture showed Youxiang grabbing Wu Feng's shoulder and lifting him up. When Wu Feng saw the picture and the accompanying text, he finally understood how paparazzi articles got their reputation...

Aya Shameimaru perfectly demonstrated what candid photography is all about. Due to the distance, the expressions of the two people are not very clear. The angle of the photo slightly weakens Yuuka's figure, while highlighting Wu Feng. It's as if Yuuka is hugging Wu Feng, watching a sunflower field on a messy field. In the background, there is also the figure of Keine, who is bending over, seemingly beginning to transform into Bai Ze. Wu Feng is even in a state of clothes being torn off. What kind of bizarre scene is this?!

Wu Feng also realized that he was actually in a soul state at the time! No wonder his strength suddenly increased, and was that why Huiyin saw his abnormal behavior?

In Wu Feng's mind, Huiyin's previous unusual behavior became reasonable after reading the newspaper.

Putting aside other aspects, Wu Feng still admired Pao Zaiwen for daring to take photos in front of Kazami Yuuka, and with this kind of subject matter... It's just that Yuuka was addicted to abusing herself at that time and didn't care about her anymore. Wasn't she afraid that Yuuka would find the Youkai Mountain and beat her up afterward?

After skimming through the entire text, Wu Feng felt a stomachache! A stomachache!

[Wenwen News] Episode 36: [Male Spotted in Sunflower Field, What's the Truth?]

(Our reporter: Aya Shameimaru)

Last night, a reporter inadvertently passed by the Sunflower Field and discovered the biggest incident in Gensokyo in recent years! A strange-looking youkai appeared in the usually deserted Sunflower Field! Moreover, it had unusually close contact with the field's owner, Yuuka Kazami. The following is the truth that the reporter risked his life to capture.

(Youxiang mentions Wu Feng's photo)

The scene was so dangerous that the reporter had to leave immediately after obtaining the photos to avoid being silenced.

After a series of investigations, the reporter finally figured out the cause of the matter, and the truth was the legendary love triangle!

From the photo, you can see that Kazami Yuuka is intimately embracing someone (referring to an unknown male), while behind them is Kamishirasawa Keine, who is looking on with longing and in great pain.

The investigation revealed that Kamishirasawa Keine and a certain person were a couple who came to the Sunflower Field last night to enjoy the scenery. Knowing that the flower field was the tyrant's territory, they deliberately chose a remote location. Unexpectedly, they were still targeted by the tyrant and forcibly detained. The two fought back and fought a battle, but were ultimately defeated and detained. The sad Keine could only watch as he was raped by Kazami Yuuka.

The situation is so appalling that it is outrageous. We hope that all demons will take this as a warning and never linger near the sunflower field with their boyfriends.

……

That concludes this news item. Stay tuned for the next one!

Friendly reminder: There are almost no humanoid male youkai in Gensokyo, which makes the reporter think of a certain youkai. Please see the third issue of [Aya's News] for details.

(I have to go out today t_t, I really want to go home and write)

Chapter 168 Completed

This is clearly a battleground, how can you bring up a love triangle here...?

"Paparazzi article, you're courting death!" Wu Feng's first thought after reading it was this: If Youxiang saw this newspaper... luckily she'd be too lazy to care and would just ignore it; but if she got interested, a day trip to the Monster Mountain...

It's estimated that Huiyin will become the focus of attention in the Human Village this time...

To Wu Feng's relief, the newspaper did not reveal much information about him; due to the distance, all that could be seen was a figure with torn clothes.

"Wenwen News has only started in recent decades. Although the authenticity of the news is hard to confirm, it's still good for entertainment." Seeing that Wu Feng had finished reading, Yao Ji took back the news. She herself was still a little short of finishing reading it.

...It's hard to confirm. Without knowing the truth, just looking at the pictures and descriptions, even Wu Feng himself started to believe what was written there...

Journalism is indeed a terrifying profession, especially paparazzi!

“Speaking of which, I also have the third issue in my collection. Would you like to take a look, Youfeng?” After reading the entire newspaper, Yaoji opened a cabinet and, to Wu Feng’s astonishment, took out a stack of articles and news, picked out one of them, and asked Wu Feng with a subtle smile.

Well, Wu Feng had to admit, the newspaper was a success, because even he was curious to know who the male monster would be guessed to be...

Taking the newspaper, Wu Feng glanced at the headline, then his face darkened as he crushed the paper to shreds, muttering to himself in a gloomy tone, "Paparazzi Wen, I'm not finished with you!"

On the newspaper fragments, the title could still be vaguely seen: [Wenwen News] Issue 3 [The New Butler of Baiyulou, a Cross-dresser? A Real Woman?]

The document contains numerous photos of Wu Feng, which have likely been beautified, and they actually look about 70-80% similar to the spirit state!

The article is ornate and beautifully written, describing various speculations about Wu Feng's gender before finally confirming him as male. The columns are particularly difficult to read: "[The Untold Story of the Master and the Butler]", "[Immorality: The Courtesan's Affair with the Butler]"...

"What a pity about this newspaper." Yao Ji, who had expected this, glanced at the torn pieces of the newspaper with regret. Luckily, he had prepared an extra copy when he bought it, one for advertising and one for collection.

Just as Wu Feng was thinking about how to get revenge on Wenwen, the time he had been holding the parasol reached one hour.

"One hour of using Yakumo Yukari's parasol completed, data collection complete, progress of the legendary divine artifact quest (1/2)"

"Second quest: The legendary artifact is complete, reward 50 Stigmata. Additional requirement [limited time] to complete, reward 50 Stigmata. Current total: 151 Stigmata"

"The legendary artifact, obtained through the girl's prayers, is now available. The final quest, 'I am part of the Parasol Group,' is now open."

Final Ring Quest: I am part of the Parasol Group

Task Description: All materials and data have been collected; only the final forging step remains.

Mission Requirements: Collect 125 Stigmata and complete the forging of the exclusive weapon.

Mission Reward: Exclusive Weapon x1

"Sister Yaoji, I think I should go out and take care of some things." After completing the mission, Wu Feng did not immediately forge, but said to Yaoji, and then walked out of Baiyulou.

In the cherry blossom garden, Wu Feng called out to Sha, whose face was slightly flushed, and calmly asked her...

"Sha, can you tell me what the extra requirement [time-limited] means?" The extra requirement on the mission just now was obvious; Sha had hidden something again.

"Um, didn't Sha ask Master if he believed it was a system setting...?" Noticing Wu Feng's unstable mental state, Sha's voice trailed off.

"Just explain why."

"Well, actually, there's a chance that extra requirements will appear during the mission, and there will be extra rewards if you complete them. Little Master will receive relevant prompts and can choose whether to accept them..."

"Where did the prompt go?" Wu Feng continued calmly, showing no sign of anger.

"...Actually, this time Gaia used connections, hoping you would quickly complete the exclusive weapon to help her, so it was sent when the little master fainted, and it was automatically approved after a certain time..." Wu Feng's abnormality made Sha betray Gaia without hesitation and shift the blame, she didn't want to anger Wu Feng in this state.

"Gaia, I really have to thank you this time!" Wu Feng's voice rose slightly. Without this extra requirement [time limit], he would have been at least 24 Saint Marks short of completing the forging of his exclusive weapon. Paparazzi, I'll make you the first sacrifice for the exclusive weapon!

With his dark past exposed, Wu Feng has stopped caring about being scammed.

I spent 125 Stigmata and clicked on Forging without hesitation.

Before Wu Feng's eyes, the pale purple light intensified, and the Gorgon Stone floated into the light. Then, two green data streams also floated in, and the two began to merge together. Occasionally, golden characters would burst out from within. The Gorgon Stone gradually began to deform, but the speed was very slow.

"How long is it expected to take to complete the forging?" The speed of the changes made Wu Feng impatient, so he asked Sha directly.

"Young master is too hasty. Forging should take at least a month to complete. You should at least find a secluded place to carry it out slowly." When she saw Wu Feng forging, Sha wanted to stop him, but Wu Feng was too fast and had already started before she could finish.

"Using Stigmata can speed things up, right?"

"It will require at least 5 Stigmata. Is the young master really sure?"

"Consuming 5 Stigmata, complete immediately." Wu Feng didn't hesitate. He was now eager to talk to Gou Zai Wen, but he couldn't just leave the exclusive forging here.

The number of remaining Stigmata is 21.

After the Holy Mark was consumed, the forging process was like it was on fast forward. In less than five minutes, the Gorgon Stone had already been reshaped and recreated.

A parasol gradually took shape and finally fell into Wu Feng's hands. Although it was forged from stone, it was not made of stone. Instead, it was made of soft cloth with a light purple canopy and a silver metallic handle.

At the same time, a notification sound indicating that he had achieved the accomplishment rang in Wu Feng's ears.
