My personal opinion on Gensokyo

After hearing Shang Yang's explanation, Miss Kaguya of Penglai Mountain complained.

"The key question is, how many more arrows do you need to take before that miko will listen to you, my husband?"

"Uh, it's hard to say..."

After his own princess pointed out the key point, Shang Yang sighed and rubbed his hair helplessly.

"...I was too thorough in the past, and she must have hated me deeply... Let her figure out the doubts she had from the past. Once she has her own doubts, it will be easier for me to explain..."

Hearing Shang Yang's words spoken slowly in a helpless tone, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was leaning comfortably in her husband's arms, still had an amused look on her face and complained without giving her husband any face.

“You deserve it…”

"Yes."

Shang Yang didn't care when he heard Kaguya's unreserved complaints.

"So, no matter what she wants to do, I will be the next one."

"Well... whatever you want."

Hearing Shang Yang say this, Kaguya nodded slightly. Then, Miss Kaguya smiled lightly and reminded him in a low voice.

"However, my dear husband, please don't do this next time. Please also consider my feelings."

"Well, you're right, Kaguya."

After hearing Kaguya's quiet reminder, Shang Yang also put away his casual tone.

"...It was definitely my fault just now. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."

"fine."

As Shang Yang finished speaking, Miss Jue's cold voice sounded behind him.

"I wouldn't care."

As he spoke softly, Jue walked into the living room from the corridor, closed the cypress paper door sideways, walked to the square table, sat down, placed the small medicine box in his hand on the table, opened it, and took out the gold medicine for treating sword wounds that he had taken from Yagi Eirin.

Miss Jue naturally raised her hand to hold Shang Yang's shoulder to stop him from shaking, and with her other tender white hand she picked up the golden medicine made by Bayi Yonglin and carefully applied it to Shang Yang's wound.

Miss Jue was allowed to treat her injuries as she pleased, and the golden medicine made by Bayi Yonglin naturally had a significant effect. However, because of the significant effect, these trauma medicines also caused some irritation to the injured area.

Of course, after finding out that Miss Jue had heard what he had just said, Shang Yang could only cough, shut his mouth and endure the pain. Kaguya, with a playful smile on her face, rolled out of Shang Yang's arms and to the side, making it easier for Jue to treat Shang Yang's injuries.

However, since Jue didn't care, Shang Yang ignored it. As if he remembered something, he casually asked Jue.

"By the way, Jue, is there any news from Yiji and Teru?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Hearing this, Jue continued to treat his injuries and hummed softly.

"Ever since Seshomaru and Inuyasha lost the battle for Inu no Taisho's sword, Tessaiga, at Inu no Taisho's tomb in the underworld, Seshomaru returned to the West. As you instructed, Iki and the others have been keeping a close eye on developments in the West."

"The ocelots, who were entrenched in the western part of the country, have been making uneasy movements, just as we knew before. However, after Seshomaru returned to the country, they seem to have temporarily stopped their movements."

"However, I do believe that the unusual behavior of the ocelots is not a sudden impulse."

"Fifty years ago, if Seshomaru and Inuyasha hadn't worked together to repel the elite Leopard Cat Clan invading the Western Kingdom, the Leopard Cat Clan would have already taken control of the Western Kingdom. Now, having recuperated and become even more powerful, the Leopard Cat Clan seems to have the resources to deal with Seshomaru and Inuyasha. Teruya tells you that she believes this is just the initial move of the Leopard Cat Clan. Afterwards, the Leopard Cat Clan should launch a large-scale offensive against the Western Dog Demon Clan in the Western Kingdom."

"It's not surprising. The hatred between the Leopard Cat Clan and Inu no Taisho, and by extension, Seshomaru and Inuyasha, has lasted for over two hundred years."

Shang Yang nodded slightly.

"However, if the resentment is too deep, both sides may neglect other issues."

"Ah."

After agreeing with Shang Yang's words, Jue also spoke thoughtfully.

"Also, the shadow that Yiji and Teru are pursuing is hiding in the western region. Another strange demonic aura could be the secret work of the descendants of the flying demon moth that crossed the sea from the mainland and was defeated by Inu no Taisho over three hundred years ago."

"Flying Demon Moth..."

After repeating these three words, Shang Yang, Jue, and Kaguya who was listening quietly beside them naturally knew what the offspring of the Flying Demon Moth, the moth monster named Manjumaru, wanted to do. However, Shang Yang was not sure whether there would be other changes afterwards.

After carefully considering all these aspects, Shang Yangyouyou concluded.

"It seems that all the monster forces living in this land and this country have some thoughts about this war-torn Warring States period."

"The main reason is that the chaotic times have lasted for a hundred years, and too many monsters have been born in this land."

After treating Shang Yang's injuries, Jue said calmly, not feeling surprised.

"Comparatively, the monsters living in Hell are not like the monsters on earth during the Warring States Period, entangled in grudges and endless wars."

"It's normal. Over the past hundred years, so many monsters have been born due to war and famine. It would be strange if there were no more wars."

Shang Yang spoke slowly.

"Perhaps, soon, that wise and far-sighted youkai sage who hasn't been seen for hundreds of years will come to visit here..."

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 347: News

After making this judgment, Shang Yang saw that Jue had taken care of his injuries. When he was packing up the small medicine box, he casually raised his hand and shook it slightly.

With this subtle movement, the dark red bloodstains on Shang Yang and Miss Jue's clothes gradually disappeared.

In Shang Yang's view, it was extremely normal for the number of non-human creatures, especially monsters, to increase dramatically during the Warring States period, which lasted for a hundred years. And as the number of monsters increased dramatically, the chaos of monster forces in various parts of the country was an even more normal situation.

Although at Shang Yang's current level, whether it is the invasion of the leopard cat tribe into the relatively stable western region, or the unusual movements of the offspring of the flying demon moth, these things are not something worth worrying about for Shang Yang.

No matter what the outcome of the conflict between these monster forces is, it will not have any impact on Shang Yang and Jue.

However, both Shang Yang and Gu Mingdi Jue foresaw that beneath the surface of the wars and conflicts in the Warring States period, there would be things involving ancient great monsters such as Shang Yang and Miss Jue, based on the dramatic increase in the number of monsters during the chaotic Warring States period and the wars among monster forces caused by the dramatic increase in the number of monsters.

"The sage of monsters, Yakumo Yukari."

Hearing Shang Yang's judgment, Miss Gu Mingdijue pushed open the small medicine box and nodded slightly to show her agreement.

"Although she, the wise master of the monsters, has been elusive for hundreds of years, she must have seen what we saw."

"But the question now is when she will show up and how she will find us."

"I'm not worried about that."

Hearing this, Shang Yang was not worried.

"The great monster in the realm of elusiveness always appears at the right time and in the right place."

"Jue, Kaguya, I'm back... Um, Shangyang, you're already back."

As soon as Shang Yang finished speaking, a familiar, pleasant girl's voice with a hint of doubt sounded behind Shang Yang, Jue and Kaguya.

While asking doubtfully, Shana closed the door of the living room and sat down beside the square table.

Jue and Kaguya also greeted Shana naturally.

"Shana, you're back early too."

Seeing Shana return home, Shang Yang asked casually.

"Didn't you say that you, Ai, and Lianlian might not be back until the evening? Where are Ai and Lianlian? Oh, by the way, here's something for you."

While asking, Shang Yang remembered something and took out a melon bag wrapped in a paper bag and handed it to Miss Shana.

"Hmm...why are you being so attentive to me for no reason right after I got back..."

Seeing Shang Yang handing her a bag of honeydew melon bags, Shana was stunned for a moment, then snorted softly, and reached out to take the paper bag from Shang Yang with some awkwardness.

"...Don't worry, I won't be mad at you because of that miko... Seriously, Ai and Lianlian went to the second-floor room to put away the things they bought in Sakaimachi."

Although there were some complaints, Shana didn't seem to care too much. Judging from the way she naturally took the melon bag handed to her by Shang Yang, Miss Shana really didn't seem to be dissatisfied.

However, when Shana lowered her head slightly and concentrated on opening the paper bag containing the melon, Shang Yang calmly glanced at Jue and Kaguya beside him.

Noticing Shang Yang's eye contact, Jue nodded slightly and calmly pushed the small medicine box beside him under the table.

Kaguya also calmly put away the two demon-destroying arrows that had lost all their spiritual power.

Shana, who lowered her head to deal with the melon bun, naturally didn't notice the subtle movements of Jue and Kaguya. After taking a big bite of her favorite melon bun, the petite girl narrowed her eyes slightly and was in a good mood.

However, Shana's good mood only lasted for a short while. Then, the petite girl's expression turned serious and she spoke solemnly to Shang Yang, Jue and Kaguya.

"...Oh right, there's something very important."

"Just before Ai, Lianlian, and I returned to Kyoto from Sakaimachi, a 'big shot' arrived in Kyoto and paid a visit to the photo stationed in Kyoto."

"That 'big shot' is the youkai sage Yakumo Yukari who has been elusive for hundreds of years."

Hearing Shana say this news seriously, Shang Yang, Jue and Kaguya were all stunned.

"...Let's see."

After a slight surprise, Shang Yang shrugged.

"He's indeed a youkai sage who will show up at the right time... It seems that Yorihime is in Kyoto these days, right?"

"Before Ai, Lianlian, and I returned, only Teru was in Kyoto. When Yakumo Yukari arrived in Kyoto to visit her, Yorihime went to Chikuzen Province in Kyushu and did not meet Yakumo Yukari."

Hearing Shang Yang's question, Shana explained.

"After hearing the news, Yorihime, who had fought her way back to Kyoto from Chikuzen Province in Kyushu, felt very sorry. She really wanted to fight the mortal monster sage."

"As for Yakumo Yukari herself, I simply asked His Excellency, the Guardian of Kyoto, to report to His Excellency, the Youkai Commander-in-Chief, that the Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari believes it is necessary to meet with us."

After hearing Shana's words, Miss Jue seemed to be thinking about something.

"Would you like to meet us..."

"It's not surprising that that realm monster wants to see you."

Kaguya also agreed, and then, Her Royal Highness the Princess thought for a moment, then turned sideways and spoke to Shang Yang with a faint smile.

"My dear husband, while Yakumo Yukari is visiting our home, I will temporarily take shelter with Eirin and my elder sister (Toyohime)."

"Uh...it's okay, Kaguya, you should just stay home."

After hearing what Kaguya said, Shang Yang also understood that Kaguya intended to avoid it, but he still tried to persuade her.

"Yoshiki's affairs are known to Yakumo Yukari, and she naturally knows that the three princesses of the Moon City are with me. Kakuro and I will take this opportunity to inform the Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari of the existence of Lord Yagi Eirin and the Eternal Pavilion."

"Hmm... I'll stay at Yunzhongting Hot Spring Villa as part of the Eternal Pavilion... (⑵Yishan gets up at noon. 6h氿〗〒? You can do that too..."

Kaguya was not surprised by the meaning of Shangyanghua Yilin's rumor, but she was a little confused.

"...However, my identity doesn't seem quite suitable for this 'role', does it?"

Although Kaguya had no interest in the scene of meetings and negotiations between various factions, it was simply a lack of interest. It did not mean that the talented Princess Harazuki did not know how to deal with such a meeting.

Kaguya Houraisan, who was forever exiled to the mortal world by the Moon Capital, has no connection with the Moon Capital on the Moon Sea. However, she has to participate in the meeting between the Monster Sage Yakumo Yukari, the Monster Commander Shang Yang, and the master of the Hell Monsters, Kakuji Komeiji, as a member of the "Eternal Pavilion" of the Moon Sage Yakumo Yukari, who has also fled to the mortal world, which is unknown to the Monster Sage Yakumo Yukari. This may cause the Monster Sage Yakumo Yukari, who is still unaware of this matter, to have some doubts.

While being on the side of "Eternal Pavilion", Kaguya Houraisan is the wife of Shang Yang, the owner of "Cloud Courtyard", and is also a key figure in "Cloud Courtyard Hot Spring Villa".

This dual identity seems to imply that the "Eternal Pavilion" of the Yokai Sage Yakumo Yukari and the Moon Sage Yagi Eirin is a branch of the "Cloud Court" or even an important part of the "Shangyang Clan". This may very likely lead the Yokai Sage Yakumo Yukari to have other unknown judgments about the "Shangyang Clan".

To be more serious, the Moon Sage Yagi Eirin, who should not have appeared in the mortal world, might even cause the Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari to make the wrong judgment that "the Youkai Commander-in-Chief was won over by Tsukiyomi and signed a cooperation agreement with the Moon Capital."

"Nothing inappropriate."

Shang Yang naturally understood what Kaguya of Penglai Mountain was worried about, but he didn't care and explained it in detail.

"Presenting the facts can save us a lot of trouble. I also intend to borrow your subtle identity, Kaguya, to explain to Yakumo Yukari the key points of the subtle relationship between "Cloud Court" and "Eternal Palace."

"That's it..."

After hearing Shang Yang's explanation, Kaguya also understood what Shang Yang meant, and a playful smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Since my husband has said so, I will naturally obey you."

"Well, now that it's settled."

Shana, who was biting a melon bun while listening to the conversation between Shang Yang, Jue and Kaguya, also swallowed the last piece of melon bun in her white and tender hands.

"Please invite the youkai of that realm to meet here."

Volume 6: Yearning Across Time and Space: Chapter 348: Fox Demon Qibao, the Sage's Traces

A few days later, in the deep mountains of Musashi in the eastern country, in Maple Village.

In the small house where Grandma Kaede lived alone, she reached out with a serious expression and grasped the beads tied around Inuyasha's neck, looking at them carefully for a long time.
