"Report to nmgt!"

It was a crime for the two to attack Kaguya, and it was an even greater crime for them to speak rudely. In addition, they could not be allowed to go back alive. What if the one sent next time was the Moon Messenger, it would be much more difficult to deal with. This was the first time that Rin had the urge to kill so directly that she picked up a knife and rushed towards the two soldiers.

Kaguya watched silently for a while without saying a word. After much consideration, she decided to let Rin do what he wanted. Since the two soldiers had not returned to report, Yue had not received any news. She might have to send someone to investigate and then return to report. This would waste a lot of time. After all, one day in the sky is one year underground.

Rin quickly killed the two Moon City soldiers, returned to Kaguya, and patted her on the shoulder: "See, I am also very powerful now. I am absolutely sure that I can protect you. Don't worry, let alone any soldiers, even the Moon Messenger and the Moon Sage, I am not afraid at all. I will beat them to a pulp."

Kaguya wanted to say that he was bragging so much, but Rin in front of her suddenly started shaking all over, his face turned pale and then returned to normal. He silently reached behind him and grabbed the arrow that shot a small hole in his clothes but did not hurt his flesh. The moment he touched it, it turned into a stream of air and disappeared from behind.

He actually broke through his self-defense “Qi” so easily. This parent... is really scary.

Lin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with lingering fear, looked at the puzzled Kaguya, thought for a while and decided not to tell her.

Anyway, it won’t be long before Kaguya, who has her network cable repeatedly unplugged, will experience this feeling.

"I understand. No matter what, I am happy to be able to stay with you for a while longer."

For the first time, there was no tsundere or metaphors. Kaguya threw herself into Rin's arms like a serious young girl in love. The two of them hugged each other silently in the night, and they didn't seem to be afraid of the pressure from the moon above their heads.

However, Rin, who was under as much pressure as Kaguya, did not relax for long before he had to put the plan to improve his strength at the top of his agenda. He still had a lot of treasures left that could improve his cultivation, and he wanted to break through to the intermediate great monster realm within this period of time to be able to fight.

"Okay, it's a bit cold outside, let's go back."

After patting Kaguya's head, Rin walked back to the room with her shoulder to shoulder, but neither of them wanted to sleep. One of them played games while the other practiced, and they spent the whole night like this.

It was not until dawn that the exclamation of Taketori Ogami outside woke Rin up from her daze, and then she realized...she had forgotten to clean up the battlefield from last night.

Author's message:

ps: The reason for the late update is that I fell asleep after coming back from playing outside during the day.

The current activity is almost over, and basically no one is voting for monthly tickets and blades anymore. I think my bounty is stable, and I’ll do a statistics at the end of the month.

Chapter 54: Meihong is a good guy

He would accompany Kaguya for a short while every day, and then practice endlessly. Rin himself had good aptitude, and coupled with his incredible luck, so far, he had never even encountered the so-called bottleneck that Zi, Youxiang and the four kings of the ghost clan told him about.

Anyone who sleeps for a year or two can reach the level of a great demon, not to mention that he is currently practicing seriously, and he practices for several hours every day. His cultivation level is increasing at a perceptible speed.

This made Lin overjoyed. He felt that if he was given a year, he could easily reach the level of a mid-level great monster.

This period of time lasted about a year and a half. I saw that Kaguya finally unlocked all the characters in Don't Starve and completed the game over a hundred and eighty times. She also completed other games countless times, but MC was still going on. The news that Prince Dianthus, who was said to have gone to India to find the stone bowl in front of the Buddha, had returned had become a hot topic.

It wasn't long after Lin found out about this. When he returned home, Prince Shizhu had already arrived. Kaguya just happened to reveal that the item in his hand was fake with just one sentence, "Probably taken from Xiaocang Mountain." He covered his face and left in shame.

As soon as Lin entered the room, she saw Kaguya throwing the stone bowl with patterns on it out of the window. She turned around and pouted at him, "Do these earth apes think I'm a fool? I don't know where they got this smoked black stone bowl and dared to cheat people. Oh, I'm ashamed for him, a prince."

"...Uh, to be honest, the prince of a small country is no different from the future son of a landlord. To be honest... Ahem, Kaguya, my family background is also equivalent to that of a proper prince. How about marrying me?"

Kneeling down carelessly, Kaguya snorted coldly, her pretty eyebrows furrowed tightly, "I have never seen such an insincere proposal. Didn't you say before that you would find five treasures to propose? Bah, you see in novels, no matter how poor the people are, they still have a ring made of straw, but you have nothing in your hands, humph."

"…Um, if you like, I'll make one for you."

Once again realizing what it means to be an idiot with low emotional intelligence, Kaguya covered her face speechlessly. She weighed the phone in her hand and was considering whether to throw it at him, but then she decided not to. "How about this, I don't want the five treasures anymore. You give me the phone as a betrothal gift, and at the same time, get the network stuff you mentioned ready, and then I'll marry you."

Rin was slightly stunned, looking like he was thinking deeply. Then, in front of Kaguya's expectant look, he raised his head and said seriously, "To be honest, the unlimited power in this phone is given by your ability, and there are also gold fingers and so on, so at least a quarter of it is originally yours. How can I propose to you by using your things?"

"And I've already discussed with Kappa Heavy Industry to make one specifically for you, so don't worry."

Kaguya didn't know what to say for a moment, and she looked back at her phone in boredom: "Then just go and find the five treasures."

"By the way, you said last time that you would be my mistress if I found one for you."

"Guna!"

After being hit with a pillow by the angry Kaguya, Rin stood at the door for a long time, confused.

Hey, is Kaguya going to deny her debt? She clearly said she wanted to be a wing before?

……

Just when people were spreading the rumor that Kaguya's marriage was off and that her death was shameful, and that none of the five men could marry the beauty, Fujiwara no Fuhito actually came back alive.

I heard that he survived a great disaster and returned to Heijokyo-kyō after many hardships, and also found the Penglai Jade Branch.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, within two days, Fujiwara no Fuhito came to the Taketori residence with the treasure box, asked to see Kaguya, and handed the treasure to the Taketori.

Taking the box from Taketori, Kaguya grabbed the door, placed it carelessly on the original book, and opened it casually. The precious light instantly filled the room, and the light reflected on Kaguya's face, making her careless expression become solemn.

"……what?"

Even Rin, who was daydreaming, opened his eyes. Looking at the item that was 70% to 80% a replica of the Penglai Jade Branch, he stood up, walked curiously to Kaguya, and reached out to grab it.

"Except for the lack of special energy, the appearance is similar. Fujiwara Fuhito is quite capable."

"This is troublesome."

Kaguya frowned slightly: "Even if I know it's fake, other people don't know what the Penglai Jade Branch looks like. This imitation is a treasure in terms of both material and craftsmanship, and it is the same as the image described. If I want to say whether it is true or not, I must have a suitable reason..."

"I'm afraid Fujiwara no Buhiro will insist on it."

"Well, idiot, think about it carefully. How did I see through it?"

Lin scratched his face, a little embarrassed: "That's what you told me in the future. To be honest... I didn't listen carefully, so I really don't know..."

"..."

Kaguya felt that her husband was most likely a stick maker and didn't care about her at all, so she didn't bother to argue with him about this matter at this time: "Forget it, let's listen to what he says, maybe there are loopholes. With my wisdom, there is only one truth."

Fujiwara no Fuhito was led into the house by Taketori Osamu, and he bowed to Kaguya through the door of the inner room and said, "Miss Kaguya, are you satisfied with the Penglai Jade Branch I have given you?"

"I heard that Lord Fujiwara was shipwrecked. May I ask how you found him?"

Kaguya's voice was flat, with no sadness or joy, which disappointed Fujiwara no Fuhito. He sorted out his emotions and began to recite the story in a rhythmic manner.

According to him, he did not encounter any shipwreck. He discovered Mount Penglai by accident while drifting with the waves. Finally, he broke off a branch from a fairy tree and drifted back.

His stories were vivid and exciting. When she heard him mention that he had met a fairy named Baokan Liuli, Rin's mouth twitched. She felt that with Fujiwara no Fuhito's talent, he would definitely become a great writer of cultivation and fantasy novels even in modern times.

Kaguya frowned even more tightly. The story told by Fujiwara no Fuhito was neither detailed nor empty, which made it even more difficult to judge whether it was true or false.

Seeing her silence, Rin stopped playing games and thought carefully. The imitation sent by Fujiwara Fuhito was inlaid with glass agate and various gems. It was very valuable to make it. Even the best craftsmen would need a long time to make it. This meant that... this guy was from the Eight or Nine and never went to sea.

The question is, how much does it cost to make this jade branch?

Thinking of this, Rin suddenly vaguely remembered the fragments that Kaguya had once told him, and the memories in his brain connected into one line. Just as he opened his mouth to whisper to Kaguya, his ears moved and he heard some noisy footsteps, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Don't worry, it looks like the lie will be exposed on its own."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it sounded like there were at least four or five people. Soon, several people were standing outside the yard, requesting to see Fujiwara no Fuhito.

Fujiwara had several followers left at the door, and they quickly stopped a few people and drove them out. A few people started to quarrel and shouted that Fujiwara should not wait to pay their wages.

This sound caused many of the men who had come to watch to whisper among themselves. Fujiwara no Fuhito's face darkened, and he stood up and walked out the door: "Go, kick these nonsense guys out."

"Please pay us now! If we continue like this, our whole family will starve to death."

Fujiwara's face turned even darker, and he rushed into the crowd, gritting his teeth and controlling his voice: "Didn't I ask Madam to pay you at the beginning?"

"No! We never received it!"

Fujiwara no Fuhito was such a smart man that he immediately figured out the cause and effect.

When he just hired people to build the Penglai Jade Branch, he asked the accountant to pay the workers' wages. At that time, he had not divorced his wife and concubines, but his original wife may have already known the news, so she withheld the money. She was the eldest daughter of the Soga family and had a bad temper. She would really do such a thing.

"It's really a mistake to marry a wife!"

Fujiwara no Fuhito still had a gambler's mentality of hoping for the best. He opened his mouth to persuade these people to go back, and then told Kaguya that he had left a message to save the situation. However, Kaguya obviously would not give him this opportunity.

She straightened her clothes, put on a noble posture, opened the door with a rustle, and walked out. In an instant, there was complete silence.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by her beauty, Kaguya raised her head slightly and looked at one of the craftsmen: "Why did you find Master Fujiwara and come to my house? Is it convenient for me to know?"

The craftsman stared at her with a star-like gaze, as if he had been drugged, and murmured, "Master Fujiwara ordered us to make a handicraft and to stay in the same room with us for a long time, promising to promote us. I dare not even think about such a thing, but you haven't paid us for a long time. We have no choice but to come to you. We are very sorry."

In addition to him, other craftsmen also followed suit. Kaguya sighed and took out the "Penglai Jade Branch" from her sleeve: "But this one?"

"That's right!"

At this moment, Fujiwara no Fuhito's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had been obsessed with Kaguya's beauty and did not stop her at the first moment. Of course, even if he had stopped her, it would have been useless and he would have looked more like a clown. Now that it had come to this point, and in public, his face was pale and his lips were trembling.

Kaguya shook her head, handed the Penglai Jade Branch to the craftsman, hid her hands in her sleeves, took a few steps with light lotus steps, and stopped.

"You are so shameless with your sweet talk. Who are you trying to fool with your fake jade branch?"

After saying that, he returned to the room, closed the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and made a victory gesture towards Lin with a smile.

Fujiwara no Fuhito left in despair. He had gone through so much trouble but to no avail. Not only did he fail to get the beauty, but his reputation was also ruined. For him, who had always had an excellent reputation and was valued by the supreme ruler, such a natural disaster was not easy to come by.

Not long after, he had mental problems and chose to travel due to depression. Not long after, he died at the hands of a monster.

Upon hearing the news of Fujiwara no Fuhito's death, Rin felt a little sad, but when he thought of Meihong, he suddenly realized.

Could it be that... Meihong hates youkai and Kaguya so much because one of them directly and indirectly killed her father?

Damn, this is very likely! No, no, I must try to persuade her when she comes back.

Rin has made up his mind and has organized his words a hundred and eight times, repeating them in front of Kaguya all day long, making Kaguya look strange. She has considered asking Eirin to take a look at Rin's mental problems.

"That should be fine."

He had talked nonsense countless times, but this was the first time he had seriously advised someone to let go of their hatred. This made Lin feel a little stressed, and he was checking his lines that day.

Kaguya put the phone down, walked over to him, knelt down, and poked his head. When Rin looked up, he saw her face full of concern. He glanced at the phone she placed on the tatami: "Um...something big happened, could it be that the people from Yuedu are here again?!"

"Bah, don't curse me, idiot Rin, come with me to find Eirin."

"Um, are you looking for your parents so soon? I think you should go meet your mother as well."

"Don't talk nonsense and don't be afraid to see a doctor. I'm taking you to see a doctor."

"WTF? I'm fine, what's wrong with me?"

Resisting the urge to slap Rin's face, which had a warning sign saying "you are the one with the disease", Kaguya tried to remain gentle: "Look, he's a psycho..."

"You are the one with a mental illness!"

Rin grumbled in dissatisfaction, then thought that it might be because Bi had been nagging too much recently, so it was not surprising that Kaguya thought so.

"I just have something to do. Besides, Eirin can actually cure mental illness?! Why doesn't he cure those mentally ill people in Gensokyo?"

Kaguya shook her head, patted Rin's head, and smiled gently like a good wife and mother: "Eirin can't cure mental illness, but she can cure the scumbag who was dismembered because of a mental illness attack and had no resistance... Tell me! Who is Meihong! Otherwise, don't think about walking out of my room alive today!"

Rin slapped her hand away: "You idiot! Meihong is my half-apprentice, the daughter of Fujiwara no Fuhito. I have gone to such lengths to prevent her from getting jealous of you, but you actually want to kill me?!"

"... Well, if that's the case, I'll make amends to you after I've cut you into pieces and ask Eirin to revive you and send you to my bed."

"..."

Really unable to figure out what was wrong with Kaguya's brain, and not daring to ask her to go ask Eirin for treatment, Rin grumbled a few times perfunctorily, and finally recited his lines, stood up, said hello to Kaguya, and walked out of the room.

As usual today, I will go to Fujiwara's house to see if Meikou is there, because Fujiwara no Fuhito has passed away and the household has been handed over to the eldest son. The eldest son is already an adult and can manage the family business without any major problems. The original wife Soga has returned.

As soon as I arrived at Fujiwara's house, before I even went in and took a look around, I heard a quarrel inside, as if someone was scolding something. Not long after, Meihong rushed out with tears on her face. When she saw Rin standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, wiped the tears from her face, and continued to sob.

"Rin... I'm glad you're back."

"Well, long time no see. I heard you were out traveling."

“Is… is that so?”

It should have been a very happy scene to see her best friend, but Meihong couldn't smile at all. Her eyes were red. Lin looked at her silently for a while: "The old place, I have something to tell you."

Bringing Meihong to the valley, the two sat on a big rock, and then Lin asked, "Did you have an argument with your family before?"

Meihong nodded and said, "Well... I rushed back when I heard the news of my father's death, but was scolded by my mother and brother and kicked out of the house."

"Hey?"

Lin was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Meihong suddenly became a homeless child.

"But...I actually like the life of traveling, Rin, you don't have to worry."

Originally, he wanted to bring Meihong to live with him, but her words made Lin open his mouth but nothing came out, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

"Meihong, I'm sorry about what happened with your father... Kaguya and I are both responsible."

"..."

Meihong remained silent. She looked at the ants on the ground carrying food back home and sighed, "I am a little bothered by you, Rin. If you and Kaguya make your relationship public, maybe... But then I think about it. With my father's personality, he won't change no matter how it's made public. I haven't seen the Kaguya you mentioned. It's impossible to say that I don't have any resentment. After all, you know what she said to my father, Rin. My father has a strong sense of self-esteem."
