Don't force me to use my right fist.

Sōyū sat up from the grass and looked at the vengeful Kōyū-san in front of him with a serious expression.

"You've won against me. Don't even mention asking me questions. Even if you had just killed me, I wouldn't have had any objections."

Yuugi, with his palms outstretched, looked at the black-haired boy in front of him and continued to joke.

However, she was also curious about what strange questions this ordinary person, who claimed to have superhuman strength, would ask. She was quite interested in them.

"Very well, I remember you said that the Ghost Clan doesn't lie, right? Then first, can you tell me why there doesn't seem to be a Hell region in this world?"

Saya, having directly asked the most crucial question, looked at the blonde woman in front of him and waited earnestly for her answer.

Chapter 402 Clarification

"I think you might have some misunderstandings about the Oni clan, Brother Zuoyou."

Taking a small sip from the sake bowl in his hand, Yuugi rolled his eyes at Saya.

"The demon race are also living beings, and hell is the realm of the dead. Why do you think the demon race would live in hell?"

"Besides, who said that hell doesn't exist in this world? It's just that the gates to hell only accept the dead; no living being has ever entered." w.hl

Correcting the error in Saya's words, Yuugi looked in his direction with a hint of doubt.

Where did he get this erroneous knowledge from? And if we call this world, has he perhaps seen another world?

Yuugi, increasingly suspicious of Saya's origins, was filled with curiosity about him. If she could, she would be examining him right now.

She simply couldn't accept that a mere human being possessed such immense power.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Sawa rubbed his forehead in frustration. This was completely different from what he had imagined. Could it be that this thousand years ago wasn't a thousand years ago in the world Kaguya lived in?

It makes some sense that the demon race doesn't live in Hell, since they don't completely adhere to the character's setting from his memories. But what about the fact that Hell doesn't accept living beings?

He was practically building a second home in hell before, so how come he was suddenly excluded?

Of course, another possibility is that something happened during those thousand years or so that the barrier between hell and the mortal world was broken.

Yongyi yawned; she had no reason to do so.

"I understand now. There's one more thing I'd like to ask you: are there any deities in this area?"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Sawa didn't dwell on the question and instead asked her the second equally crucial question.

Compared to the previous one, this is about whether he can go back.

"Gods? Which kind are you referring to? The kind of powerful but monstrous creatures that these humans worship, or genuine gods with divine status?"

Upon hearing Saya ask this, Yuugi became even more interested, even putting down the wine he was enjoying and looking at Saya with a curious expression.

Why would he bother with those guys? With his current power, does he still naively believe that any of those gods genuinely want to protect him?

"Let me make this clear first: I do know of a few gods who exist, but I've never seen a primordial deity. If those guys really existed, my life wouldn't be so leisurely."

Yuugi held up a slender finger and waved it in front of Saya's eyes, giving him a serious reminder.

"Believe in God? That's fine too. Anyway, I have some questions that I need to ask these gods for help with. It would be best if you could tell me their exact locations."

After thinking for a while with his head down, Saya reluctantly nodded and continued to ask Yuugi for help.

"You don't want to go and fight them like I did, do you? That's pointless. They all hold back their strength and there's no way they'll fight you at full power."

Tilting his head, this was the only reason Yongyi could think of to seek out those gods.

"Of course not, just tell me where they are."

Saya waved his hand. He wasn't a battle maniac like Yuugi. Fighting without any benefit was just asking for trouble.

Yuugi did not refuse Saya's request. To be honest, she was quite happy to see Saya cause trouble for these gods. If she hadn't been unable to leave because of some things, Yuugi would have even wanted to go with Saya to see.

"There's not much left to do, but there's something I'm quite interested in for now."

Saya took the corrupted Shikon Jewel shard from his backpack and tossed it directly to the blonde woman in front of him.

This thing was an unexpected gain for Sasuke in this world. Having it means that Sasuke can at least have something to do while searching for a way back.

And if we might even encounter Naraku or the main characters' party, then perhaps there would be a way back.

"Where did you get this weird stuff?"

Yuugi appeared after receiving the Shikon Jewel shard from Saya's hand—a moment of distraction, as if something was whispering in her ear that as long as she put this thing into her body, she would be fine. Fortunately, Yuugi had never been interested in power that she hadn't obtained through her own efforts. She shook her head and threw the shard back at Saya with a look of disgust before asking him a question.

"That's why I came to ask you, but judging from your appearance, you probably haven't seen this thing before."

Saya shrugged and put it away before speaking to Yuugi in front of him.

"I haven't seen the item before, but I have seen this aura before. Don't underestimate me, Brother Zuo." He then continued speaking to Zuo.

"If I remember correctly, near the nearest city to where you want to go, Ping'an City, there is a very eerie house. I have felt this strange aura inside before, but I was in a hurry to find someone at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"In other words, if you're interested in this thing, you can go and take a look on your way."

“Great, could you help me find someone to show me the way? I have absolutely no sense of direction, and if you just give me directions, I'm afraid I'll get lost along the way.”

Sawa hadn't expected to actually gain something from this, and after thanking her profusely, he made his final request.

Chapter 403 Are there still people who can't fly?

"Lead the way? You've knocked out all my underlings, who do you expect to lead the way? Soon I'll be all alone, won't I?"

Pointing to the villagers still lying unconscious on the ground, Yuugi sighed helplessly and then reached out his hand to Saya.

"Give me a hand."

Sōyū pulled her up from the ground, scratched his head in confusion, and then raised an eyebrow and asked.

She's a ghost, you know. Even though this is ancient times, having a horn on her head in a town is bound to cause some trouble, right?

"What, are you not satisfied?"

Yuugi, who was anything but a typical woman, patted off the bits of grass that had accidentally gotten on her yukata before noticing Saya's gaze that had moved to the red horn on her forehead.

"Oh, you mean this? Well, by comparison, I feel that the clothes you're wearing now, which expose your arms and thighs, are more likely to attract attention."

With a casual gesture, Yuugo, who had just pierced the sharp corner of Saya's forehead and made it disappear, pointed to Saya's shorts and t-shirt outfit and reminded him.

"Wow, is it really that convenient?"

Zuoyou muttered to himself, "So you can actually insert the horns of the Oni clan? This is truly an eye-opener for him."

The woman, who hadn't stopped drinking, looked at Sōyō with a slightly tipsy expression, making him suddenly feel uneasy.

"I'm going to see an old friend, and then see if there's any new wine I can buy."

Once again, Yuugi hooked her arm around Saya's shoulder, seemingly unconcerned that most of her body was leaning against him, and gently blew a breath into his ear.

"Hey, Zuoyou, you wouldn't mind flying me around for a while, would you? I'll give you directions; you can't expect me to walk on the ground, can you?"

However, Yongyi's plan backfired.

It has nothing to do with whether Sayasuke minds or not; in fact, he even has it on his face.

"Well, that's a very good question. It's not that I'm stingy or that I mind bringing you along. The problem is, I can't fly." Saya sighed, seemingly oblivious to the smooth, elastic skin of Yuugi that brushed against his hand.

That's right, even though he can fight alongside gods, he still can't fly.

So what if you can defeat demons? So what if you can defeat the True Ancestor?

He just can't fly. Even if you lend Sawa a pair of wings, he still can't fly. This is simply not something a normal human being could do!

"Pfft, hahaha, Brother Sōyū, are you kidding me? Isn't this something even a demon who has mastered the most basic use of demonic power could use?" whl

A smile crept across Yuugi's lips as she looked at Saiyu with disbelief, an expression so condescending it made Saiyu clench his fists. "How infuriating! Why do I have to suffer this kind of humiliation?"

"So, what can't be done is simply impossible. It's not something I can accomplish just because I want to."

Saya sighed, looking at Yuugi in front of him with a rather helpless expression.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then. Do you need me to take you with you, Brother Zuo? Want to experience the feeling of flying?"

She covered her mouth with her hand, and even though Saya couldn't see her expression, he could still guess that she was laughing very happily.

"No need, I can run just as fast as you. You just need to lead the way."

Choosing not to suffer this injustice, Sawa stubbornly replied, "Let whoever wants to fly, fly. I'm not envious at all."

Having made up his mind, Saya looked down at the part-time bandit lying on the ground, and finally asked Yuugi, who had already used his demonic power to float up from the ground.

Although I don't know if she did it on purpose, I always felt that she deliberately slowed down her "flying" posture, as if she was showing off in front of him.

"We're not going to die, why bother with them? Let's go, if we try to get to town before noon, we should still be able to make it for lunch. We can even mooch a meal at the house of an acquaintance of mine, you absolutely have to try their wine."

Looking up at the sun overhead, Yongyi, his body shimmering with orange-red light, flew off in one direction.

Saya herself said that he could catch up with her even if he ran on the ground, so don't blame her for using all her strength.

Since he's already lost in terms of strength, winning in terms of speed is a good option.

Sawa, staring blankly at her undiminished speed, quickly recovered. Fortunately, Sawa wasn't just boasting; he genuinely believed he could keep up with her speed. He leaped onto a nearby tree and...

Yuugi moved very quickly; she didn't even glance back to see if Saya was keeping up. The Oni clan disliked lying, but they disliked liars even more.

Since Saya said he could catch up, she took it as a certainty that he could.

It wouldn't be suitable to fly in any further. Even if she didn't care, the Onmyoji and the gods in the town wouldn't allow it.

Saya's voice came from behind. When Yuugi turned around, he saw the black-haired boy with a relaxed expression, holding a piece of steak in his mouth.

Despite running all the way, not a single drop of sweat appeared on Sōyū's forehead, and his breathing remained perfectly steady.

"Well, now that we're here, we'll need to infiltrate."

Yugi nodded. It wasn't surprising that Saya was able to keep up with her; it was as if it was something he was supposed to be able to do.

Saya scratched his head in confusion. He and Yuugi didn't look like monsters at all.

"Do you think the two of us dressed like this look like we could walk out of this forest without guards? Don't think those guards are fools."

Yugi looked down at her own yukata and then pointed to Saya's T-shirt and shorts.
