A silver-haired maid in a classic maid outfit kept him here. It was obvious that near the Mist Lake, the only person dressed like this must be Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Seeing someone looking for them, Li Xuan said something to Ling Meng and the others and stayed, wanting to see what this perfect maid wanted to see them about.

"So you're the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. What do you want from me?"

"Master Li Xuan, my eldest daughter hopes to invite you over to discuss something."

Izayoi Sakuya behaved very respectfully, and her etiquette was impeccable in person, but of course it was just etiquette in person.

Izayoi Sakuya knew very well why Remlia invited Li Xuan to discuss things. The eldest lady made such a sacrifice, and she even had her own reasons for it.

Under such circumstances, Izayoi Sakuya knew that rationally, she shouldn't blame Li Xuan. After all, Li Xuan had no responsibility or obligation to help them.

But emotionally, she still couldn't accept it. If it was just for her own sake, then Izayoi Sakuya would not be willing to let the young lady make such a sacrifice even if it meant death.

However, it's not just her, there's also the eldest lady's sister, the second lady, Flandre, and the eldest lady's friend, Lady Patchouli.

Therefore, Sakuya Izayoi was really powerless to change the decision made by the eldest lady.

"Oh! Is this how the Scarlet Devil Mansion treats guests? We're so close, yet they actually ask guests to come to us."

In response to Li Xuan's questioning, Sakuya Izayoi quickly explained that although she disliked Li Xuan a little, Li Xuan was not wrong in this matter.

With the Scarlet Devil Mansion in need and Li Xuan so close, the eldest lady, as the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, should have personally invited Li Xuan to show her sincerity. Sending only her maid was truly rude.

The eldest daughter was naturally not ignorant of etiquette. Moreover, she now had to ask for help. Unfortunately, before leaving, her eldest daughter, Remlia, became arrogant again. Simply put, she was too thin-skinned and too shy about such matters. As she was about to leave, she couldn't resist her inner emotions and insisted on inviting Li Xuan, forcing her to a point where she had no way out.

Since this concerns her relatives and friends, Remlia can no longer continue to hide like this.

As a perfect maid, Sakuya Izayoi naturally had to carry out the death order given by the eldest lady.

Hiding nearby and observing for a long time, Sakuya Izayoi also knew the purpose of Reimu and his group. She also saw the resurrected previous Hakurei shrine maiden and Rumia who was split into two.

Obviously what Yakumo Yukari said was true. At least for them, Li Xuan was absolutely omnipotent. As long as they were willing to pay the price, the problems of the second lady and Lady Patchouli could be solved.

Regarding this, Sakuya Izayoi was both excited and sad, with mixed feelings in her heart. She was excited that the second lady and the others could be saved, but she was sad that since Li Xuan had this ability, the eldest lady could not break the contract and had to carry it out.

But in the end, Sakuya Izayoi still knew what was important and so she quickly explained.

"Master Li Xuan, that's not the case. The young lady has absolutely no intention of neglecting you. She just has something else to deal with, so she asked me to come forward and invite you."

Izayoi Sakuya didn't lie, Remlia was indeed dealing with things, dealing with her own awkward personality, and forcing herself to stay as calm as possible.

"Is that so? Well then, I'll accept your master's invitation and go to the Scarlet Devil Mansion!"

Li Xuan had no intention of further embarrassing Sakuya Izayoi. He had only been embarrassing her because of her bad tone. Now that Sakuya Izayoi had given in, Li Xuan let her go.

Chapter 665: Hong Meiling was caught slacking off

The silver-haired maid led the way, and Li Xuan followed. Reimu and the others did not say anything about this. They had already noticed Sakuya Izayoi's presence before.

However, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is right here at the Mist Lake. With so many of them coming to the Mist Lake, it's normal for Sakuya Izayoi to come and observe.

However, what Reimu didn't expect was that Sakuya Izayoi would call Li Xuan, but when she thought of the situation of that little guy, the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, she felt relieved.

Remlia's troubles were no less than hers. Thinking of this, Hakurei Reimu couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't escape anymore, and having another unlucky person to accompany her was a good thing. Thinking of this, Reimu's steps towards the Magic Forest became lighter. She didn't even feel tired from helping little Rumia move.

The place where Cirno and her group of fairies were active was actually not far from the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Otherwise, Remlia and Sakuya Izayoi would not have been able to notice the arrival of Li Xuan and Reimu so quickly.

So it didn't take long before Li Xuan followed Izayoi Sakuya to the gate of a dark red Gothic castle. There, Remlia had already opened the gate and came out to greet them.

Although she was a little shy before, when the time came, Remlia showed her responsibility as the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and a sister, and acted very calmly, at least from the outside.

"Master Li Xuan, I am very happy to welcome you to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I am Remlia Scarlet, the owner of this mansion."

Remlia bowed respectfully and then gestured for invitation.

However, after waiting for a while, she found that Li Xuan was not looking at her, but at the edge of the door. There, a woman in cheongsam was leaning against the door and dozing off, soundly asleep.

Damn it! Remlia couldn't help but look a little gloomy when she saw this scene. She was too nervous just now and didn't even notice that Hong Meiling was actually slacking off, and even exposed this scene in front of the distinguished guests. Although Li Xuan was not angry about this, the people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion were in big trouble!

Izayoi Sakuya's face darkened. This behavior of Menban was completely a dereliction of duty for her as the head maid! Hong Meiling actually ignored her words. She had clearly reminded Hong Meiling to cheer up and behave well before she left. Was this the way Hong Meiling behaved?

She really couldn't bear it any longer. Even if it damaged her image as a lady, Sakuya Izayoi had to teach this guy a lesson.

There was a flash of silver light, and the three flying knives ignored the barriers of time and space and directly pierced Hong Meiling's body, and blood spurted out all at once.

"Who is it! How dare you come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to cause trouble, and even attack me, the strongest sect!"

After receiving the attack, Hong Meiling suddenly woke up and roared! Red energy flowed through her body. It was obvious that she was ready to attack.

"What do you think? You call it the strongest anime? I think it's the laziest anime, almost the same! What did I tell you before? You have a distinguished guest, so be careful! And now, you're sleeping here! This is simply intolerable."

After hearing the angry roar from her immediate superior, the head maid Sakuya Izayoi, Benimin realized that something was amiss. She had vaguely heard the head maid say something, but she had forgotten it due to her sleepiness. She hadn't expected the head maid to return so soon, and to catch her in the act of sleeping. It was truly unfortunate.

What a misfortune for the family! Remlia felt helpless about this! She was not interested in punishing Hong Meiling. After all, she had long known what kind of monster this guy was. She could only say that she was too careless if she didn't notice it.

"Hong Meiling, I will definitely deduct your salary for another fifty years..."

"Ah! I'm bleeding and badly injured. I need to rest, so I'm leaving first."

Seeing the murderous look in the head maid's eyes, Hong Meiling also decided to run away. As for her salary, she still cared about it at the beginning, but now, her salary has been deducted for who knows when. It's only fifty years, so it's nothing!

"Oh! Do you think I'll believe your excuse? You must be joking!"

Izayoi Sakuya is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity of the situation. Although she will punish disobedient men and maids, she is still very measured in her actions...

Hong Meiling is a big dragon monster with thick skin and strong vitality. Although her own time ability is very powerful, her attack is mediocre. Her flying knives pierced Hong Meiling's whole body, but it was no big deal for a dragon.

What's more, it was just a few flying knives. The little bit of blood that came out looked exaggerated, but it was just an appearance.

For a human being, it might be a fatal injury, but for a huge dragon monster that is a hundred meters long, it is not even a scratch on the skin.

At first, Izayoi Sakuya was deceived by Benimisuzu's trick several times, but after Patchouli pointed out the truth, Izayoi Sakuya gradually let go.

Given Hong Meiling's thick skin and vitality, it would be unlikely for her to seriously injure her even in a life-and-death fight, let alone just a daily punishment.

Slip away! Seeing the head maid getting angry, Hong Meiling naturally planned to slip away and hide away from the limelight.

Seeing that Hong Meiling wanted to run away, Sakuya Izayoi could no longer control her rage, but at this moment Remlia called her.

"Forget it, Sakuya, we have guests to attend to right now. Master Li Xuan is waiting."

Izayoi Sakuya then realized that she had forgotten about the customer in her anger, which was really wrong. 5.0

This also shows how many times Benimisuzu had provoked Izayoi Sakuya in her daily life to make the usually calm head maid so furious at the sight of her. However, this is not surprising. When the strict and serious head maid meets the casual and casual doorman, it would be strange if there is no conflict.

"Haha! It's okay. Your personality is quite interesting."

Remlia was unable to refute Li Xuan's joke and could only sigh.

"I've gotten used to it!"

These three short words, revealing Remlia's daily sadness and helplessness, were all she had grown accustomed to. There were only two and a half reliable people in the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion: her, the head maid Sakuya Izayoi, and Patchouli. Of those, Patchouli, due to her physical condition, while reliable, she was only half-reliable.

Chapter 666: Remlia's Determination

The Scarlet Devil Mansion only had two semi-reliable guys from top to bottom, and the rest were just a waste. Not to mention the group of fairy maids, each one of them was no better than Cirno, so there was no hope at all.

Menfan Hong Meiling is quite capable, but also a bit of a slacker. Her sister, Flandre, can't control her own powerful abilities, and risks going berserk if she's not careful. Patchouli's familiar, the little devil, is only able to take care of Patchouli's body, leaving her with no energy for other matters.

Therefore, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, big and small, basically all the matters are placed on her and Sakuya Izayoi, the master and servant. As the master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remlia is under a lot of pressure.

There was no choice before, so Remlia could only grit her teeth and carry this burden. But now that she has other options, Remlia doesn't want to keep trying.

The key problem is that she herself can't find a way to solve the problems of the head maid Sakuya Izayoi, her sister Flandre, and her friend Patchouli.

The problems of the head maid Izayoi Sakuya and her sister Flandre are quite similar. Their overly powerful abilities backfire on them. Her sister Flandre loses control from time to time. Although Sakuya's situation is better and she won't lose control, the powerful time ability in her body makes it difficult for her lifespan to be changed by external forces. Izayoi Sakuya is unwilling to change her race and become a vampire, and Remlia cannot persuade her otherwise.

Patchouli's problem was a hidden danger left over from her early years of cultivation. Over the years, it had long since merged with Patchouli's magical essence. To solve her problem, she had to remove her power as well; the two could not be separated. Patchouli would never agree to such a thing.

For these three people, Remlia tried every possible means, even spending a large sum of money to invite the difficult-to-find Eight Will Eirin, Gensokyo's foremost pharmacist, to diagnose the three. But the final result was still unsatisfactory, and she frankly said that she was powerless to help.

At that time, Remlia was almost in despair, but she finally cheered herself up and barely maintained the situation in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. But if there was no miracle, in a few decades at most, the problems of Sakuya Izayoi, Patchouli, and Flandre would erupt one after another. By then, Remlia didn't know if she could still hold on.

Therefore, Remlia didn't really care about anything outside the Scarlet Devil Mansion before. Whether it was the disastrous defeat of the Moon City, the loss of the teeth and lips in Gensokyo, or the arrival of Li Xuan, which brought the opportunity for Gensokyo to upgrade, none of them had much meaning to Remlia.

The crisis in Gensokyo was too far away before, and the crisis in the Scarlet Devil Mansion had already been exposed before that, and it was very likely that the Scarlet Devil Mansion would be blown to pieces.

Later, Li Xuan's arrival resolved the danger in Gensokyo and upgraded it, giving everyone a broader future. However, this does not mean much to the Scarlet Devil Mansion today.

It was not until Yakumo Yukari said those shameless words that some people despised her while others were naturally moved. Remlia was obviously moved. After all, she had too much to carry and the pressure was too great.

Since no one took action afterwards, the shy Remlia was tempted but still a little hesitant and didn't dare to be the first to go.

And now, since Reimu Hakurei has already taken action, she can naturally follow suit.

Judging from the situation with Hakurei Miko, it is so easy for her to come back to life from the dead, so solving the problems of Flandre and the others should be no problem at all.

Although the power of destiny that she had always relied on was completely ineffective this time, and it was impossible for her to observe anything related to Li Xuan, Remlia's intuition told her that she would definitely get what she wanted this time, so she had to go ahead and there was no room for retreat.

Although she encouraged herself in her heart, Remlia was still a little panicked when the time came. After all, Li Xuan was able to solve several problems of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, which meant that she had to...

Although she was over 500 years old, and even according to the growth of vampires, she had already reached adulthood, but this kind of thing still made the childish Remlia a little uneasy.

Seeing the young lady frozen in place, Sakuya Izayoi stepped forward to rescue her.

"Master Li Xuan, please follow me and the eldest lady to the reception room to discuss matters."

Although they really don't want the eldest lady and Li Xuan to have anything happen, but at this point, there is no room for them to regret. What's more, the current situation of the Scarlet Devil Mansion does not allow them to be willful. Therefore, no matter how unwilling she is, Sakuya Izayoi must fulfill her duties.

Remlia came to her senses at this time, agreed to the invitation of the head maid, and brought Li Xuan to the reception hall.

Li Xuan could only say that Izayoi Sakuya had a difficult life. Without her, the Scarlet Devil Mansion would have fallen apart long ago. Remlia thought she was reliable, but in reality, she was only reliable in big matters.

With the power of destiny, Remlia makes good choices, but in her daily life, she's the one who adds the most workload to Sakuya Izayoi, even though Sakuya Izayoi enjoys it. Master and servant, it's a case of one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten.

"Please don't be polite. Just tell me why you invited me here this time."

Li Xuan had just sat down when he spoke directly. He was not interested in the Western aristocratic etiquette, which was too complicated.

"Since Lord Li Xuan has said so, I will get straight to the point."

Remlia was obviously a little surprised by Li Xuan's directness, but since she needed help, Remlia naturally followed Li Xuan's advice and directly told him about the problems in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

"Master Li Xuan, with your keen eyes, I'm sure you've already noticed that the Scarlet Devil Mansion actually has quite a few problems. My friend Patchouli is deeply troubled by hidden injuries from her early training. Maid head Sakuya Izayoi is also having trouble extending her life due to her abilities. And there's Flandre, whom you haven't met. My sister often loses control because her abilities are too powerful. I'm powerless to solve any of these problems."

"So I hope you can help me, and for this I am willing to work with you, with you..."

Remlia stuttered for a moment, took a deep breath, and gathered her thoughts before continuing with her request.

"For this, I am willing to follow the example of Princess Kaguya of Eternatei and make you the male owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."

Chapter 667: Patchouli's Strong Hold

After saying this, Remlia felt like she had accomplished something significant. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Xuan expectantly. She hoped he would agree, otherwise, the crisis at the Scarlet Devil Mansion would be unavoidable in a few decades.

"Well, these things are simple, no problem, just leave it to me."

Li Xuan naturally agreed immediately. It was indeed not difficult for him.

"We need to deal with the problems one by one. Since the head maid is here, I will solve her problem first."

"You should know what's wrong with her, right?

"Yes, although Sakuya has her current time ability due to some strange encounters, it also comes at a price. Some life-extending methods are completely useless to Sakuya, and Sakuya doesn't want to change her race. However, even if Sakuya is willing, I'm afraid I may not be able to do it!"

If it was just Sakuya's objection, Remlia, as her master, would have forced her to do so, and Sakuya Izayoi would not have been able to refuse. However, Remlia, through her ability to perceive fate, knew that doing so might not end well, so she chose to give up.

Unable to resolve the powerful time ability in Sakuya's body, Remlia did not dare to act rashly. In fact, the same was true for her sister and Patchouli. Their situations were relatively complicated. It was not that she could not find a solution at all, but the results of these solutions she felt were not very good. Obviously, there was not much hope. Unless it was the last moment of life and death, Remlia would never gamble with the lives of her relatives and friends.

"That makes sense then. Izayoi Sakuya's ability is too strong. Although it exists within her body and she can use it, she cannot control it. Instead, she is affected by this power. She refuses all external intervention, which is why your methods are ineffective."

Sakuya Izayoi's power of time is extremely powerful. To be honest, if she could fully master it, her strength would definitely not be what it is now.

Although Izayoi Sakuya possesses some powerful time abilities, she hasn't received much time-strengthening training, and her body isn't much better than an average person's. If she were in human society, relying on her time abilities, she'd still be considered a strong individual.

But in Gensokyo, where inhuman beings are everywhere and each one has stronger vitality than the other, a few small flying knives are far inferior and their killing power is pitifully small.

Putting aside other things, if a real fight breaks out, her family's demon, Beni Misuzu, is not someone Izayoi Sakuya can handle. She is a big monster with dragon attributes and has extremely strong vitality. Not to mention a few small flying knives, even a machete several meters long will not hurt her and can wear Izayoi Sakuya down.

Of course, as long as they don't fight to the death, relying on the power of time, Izayoi Sakuya can also fight with many people for a long time.

To put it bluntly, this is mainly because this power only resides in Sakuya Izayoi's body, and Sakuya Izayoi only has the right to use it but has not truly refined it.

"Having the technique but not the principles is putting the cart before the horse! To solve Izayoi Sakuya's problem, we need a time-based expert to suppress the powerful time power within her body, allowing her to gradually refine the time power within her body and fully master it. After that, her lifespan will naturally no longer be a concern."

Remlia had already known about Sakuya Izayoi's problem after verifying it from many sources. She asked Eirin to come over because Kaguya Horaiyama was one of the few powerful people in Gensokyo who had the ability to control time, and she wanted to see if Kaguya Horaiyama had any solution.

However, the power of time in Sakuya Izayoi's body was too strong, and Kaguya Houraisan, who had already fallen down, had no way to deal with it. Therefore, although Remlia got a solution from Eirin, she had no conditions to implement it.
