The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　The Serpent Emperor Dragon meat was separated along the spine. The cut meat was a pure white color, similar to that of fire dragon meat, with a delicate and tender texture. Just by looking at it, one could tell it would taste delicious. Unlike Anjanath meat, Serpent Emperor Dragon meat was extremely smooth and tender, feeling more like a piece of high-quality amber to the touch. Xiangling carefully cut off the pieces of Serpent Emperor Dragon meat. Thomas took out a copper basin with a diameter of more than a meter and carefully placed it on a huge fire pit. Every now and then, Xiangling would throw spices and dried meat into the pot. Then, the ribs and spine of the Serpent Emperor Dragon were added to the pot one by one. It simmered over low heat, and slowly, the added water turned into a thick, milky white broth.

　Xiangling scooped up a spoonful of broth, tasted it, and exclaimed, "As expected of the ingredients Xiaoguang brought! Compared to the previous ingredients, the meat and flavor are much richer this time."

　The most distinctive feature of the snake emperor dragon meat soup is its freshness, which is completely different from the freshness of ordinary chicken soup and fish soup. This freshness is a multi-layered and rich flavor. The freshness felt by the taste buds on the tip of the tongue is like ocean waves, lingering endlessly. Moreover, the snake emperor dragon meat that falls off after stewing is as smooth as tender tofu. With just a gentle sip, the snake emperor dragon meat goes down the throat and into the stomach.

　The cut-off snakehead ribs are cooked with scallions. The meat itself is incredibly tender, and after marinating with spices for over an hour, the flavor is fully developed. The most basic way to eat it is to sprinkle it with sea salt and grill it over low heat. Another way is to slice the snakehead meat into thin slices, roll them up with large strips of meat and vegetable puree, and then deep-fry them. Xiangling calls this...

　Spring roll special edition.

　That evening, Gan Yu and Ke Qing wanted to go to an inn, but Ayaka insisted that they stay at the Kamisato family's house. Gan Yu and Ke Qing had no choice but to follow Ayaka to the Kamisato residence. Before going to sleep, Ayaka and Yoomiya mysteriously brought six pillows to the guest room and invited Gan Yu and Ke Qing to play games.

　"Hey!"

　"what!"

　At first, the little girl didn't quite understand what they were doing, but after watching for a while, a feather landed on the tip of her nose. "Achoo~" The little girl sneezed cutely and looked at Ayaka. "OvO~ I'll hit you~" The young dragon grabbed a pillow and threw it at Ayaka. Ayaka nimbly dodged the little girl's attack, and then the pillow hit Arashi, sending feathers flying.

　"OO!" "oo" The two dragons stared at each other, and then a great battle began.

　The next day, Linghua needed to check on the test of courage that evening, so only Xiaogong, Ganyu, and Keqing took the little girl and Lanmei to continue their sightseeing. The group first came to a handicraft stall. "Hello, I am Shuangye. Here you can experience making clay crafts with white clay. Come and try it out."

　Yoomiya knew this Miss Shimoha; her handicrafts were highly regarded in the shopping district, so much so that they were widely used as a specialty of that street. As Shimoha took out white clay and distributed it to everyone, she explained, "Although you might feel a little uncomfortable at first, try touching the clay directly with your hands and feeling it, and then use it to express your individuality..."

　Gan Yu and Ke Qing listened carefully to the shop owner's explanation. "So, it means you can do anything, and make whatever you want, right?"

　Frostleaf nodded, and Keqing took the clay and began to imagine the image she wanted to create. However, perhaps because it was her first time doing this, some of the things Keqing sculpted were not recognizable.

　"Keqing, what are you making?"

　"Yes, it's Xiaoguang. What do you think? He looks quite like him."

　Xiaogong covered her face. "Miss Shuangye, is it alright to continue like this?"

　"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Maybe this is just the culture of Liyue."

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Who is the strongest unlocked Elder Dragon?

　Meimeizi: Huh? Earth Crying Dragon

　Leo Ku: Although it depends on the situation, I personally think it's the Earth Crying Dragon.

　Miss Mira: Isn't it the Earthshaker? If we include the Safi'jiiva, that's a different story.

　Brother Dragon: Who else but me and Xeno'jiiva?

　Volume 1: Chapter 264 - The Mischievous Rascal

　As Keqing was working on the clay, the little girl sniffed it, grabbed it, and was about to put it in her mouth when Xiaogong quickly stopped her.

　Gan Yu quickly finished a Qilin-shaped craft, while Lan Mei skillfully used clay and tools to sculpt the shape of a young girl. However, as for Ke Qing, apart from recognizing it as a person, it seemed impossible to discern anything else. In the end, Ke Qing paid for her doll, as she really didn't want to display it in the shop window.

　The next activity they visited was supposedly a popular entertainment in Fontainebleau: bungee jumping. It involved using a highly elastic rope tied around the waist on a high platform they had built, then jumping off. Both Xiaogong and Keqing thought bungee jumping was quite fun, with Xiaogong even trying it several times. However, it was rather boring for Younv and Lanmei.

　Evening arrived quickly. Ayaka was checking on the participants at the starting point of the test of courage competition. Oshima, Rie, and the others, having finished their makeup, came to Ayaka's side. Considering the mental well-being of the tourists, they were assigned to play common yokai such as Yuki-onna, Aoandon, Karasuka-kozo, Kappa, Natto-kozo, and Tenome.

　"Miss Kamisato, isn't that a little too scary?"

　"No, on the contrary, they're quite cute. For example, Natto Monk would suit you very well, little brother Kujirai."

　The child named by Ayaka scratched his head shyly. Rie was playing the role of the Snow Woman. After the test of courage began, Ayaka would cooperate with Rie to release cold air around them, and Aoandon and Te no Me would take the opportunity to rush out and scare the tourists.

　"I'm a little worried. It's supposed to be a test of courage, so this is fine."

　“No problem, look, time is almost up, so let’s go to the pre-planned location.” Before Ayaka could finish speaking, “Ahhh~” a sudden exclamation came from nearby, and Ayaka immediately looked in the direction from which the exclamation came.

　According to the schedule, the staff dressed as monsters had not yet arrived, and the tourists should not have set off yet. Ayaka immediately realized that something unusual had happened. After giving a few instructions to Oshima and Rie, she rushed over.

　On the other side, Goro swiftly drew his dagger, glaring fiercely at the monster before him. Shinkai helped Ruko, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet; they too had come to participate in this test of courage.

　After the three of them chose the route provided by the organizers, they had just arrived at the designated location when suddenly three ferocious monsters rushed out from behind the trees. One was a large bird monster with a human face and a bird's body, another was a gorilla monster with huge arms, and the third was a terrifying monster with five large horns and fifteen eyes. Ruko was immediately frightened and screamed.

　Goro immediately judged that these were not official Inazuma personnel, so he immediately shielded the two behind him. With his mind calmer, he said, "I wonder what the three of you need. Let me guess, money or food?"

　"Lord Coral Palace, don't worry about them. Hmph, I can handle these monsters by myself."

　Xin Hai spoke casually while carefully observing the other person's reaction, but they didn't seem to react much to the words "money" or "food".

　Could they be just criminals? Xin Hai cautiously observed her surroundings, pondering the situation. From the perspective of the situation, only Goro had any fighting ability on her side, but Goro's longbow, which he was good at, was not with her. She needed to take care of Ruko, so retreating was the best option. However, there were three of them, so the retreat process would probably not be easy. Therefore, Xin Hai decisively summoned Hua Haiyue and Fei Leyu to support Goro.

　While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Kujo Sara arrived with his men. Just as Shinkai was about to say something, the three demons took the opportunity to escape. Noticing the escape, Kujo Sara immediately ordered his men to give chase and asked Shinkai what had happened. However, the soldiers who returned later said that they had only taken two steps when they could no longer find the three demons. They had only heard rustling sounds in the bushes, but when they went to part the bushes, they found no trace of the criminals.

　On the other side, the little girl who had gotten separated from Lanmei and the others was walking through the jungle alone. Suddenly, the little girl smelled something, and then she turned her head and saw three strange upright creatures darting out. When the three monsters saw the little girl, they immediately bared their teeth and claws and made a move to eat her. The little girl just tilted her head. She couldn't understand what the three upright creatures were going to do, and they smelled different from other upright creatures.

　"Hey, little guy, aren't you afraid of big monsters like us?"

　"Great monster, is it delicious?"

　The giant bird monster turned to the gorilla monster and said, "Hey, second brother, have we run into an idiot? She's not afraid at all."

　“You all saw how scared those three people were just now. According to Dad, if we want to drive those hateful humans out of the festival, we have to scare them away. But since she’s an idiot, let’s forget about it and find another place to scare the humans.”

　The little girl carelessly took out a pudding and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing this, the gorilla monster mischievously picked up a few leaves, blew on them, and they instantly turned into a large cake. The little girl's eyes widened immediately, and she looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why this cake didn't taste like cake at all.

　The gorilla monster threw the cake at the little girl. The little girl flicked her tail, wondering what it was. Then, a few leaves fell down, and the gorilla monster and the little girl were stunned. This was the first time the gorilla monster had seen its magic fail, and it immediately wanted to give the little girl a good scolding.

　Instantly, a dazzling platinum-gold light filled the three's vision. When they came to their senses, crimson-gold pupils, as large as themselves, were staring intently at them. The almond-shaped pupils slowly narrowed into slits, and the terrifying aura of an ancient dragon belonging to the top of its ecological niche enveloped the three creatures in an instant. The fear etched into their instincts immediately filled their brains. The platinum-gold scales on the World Lord's body emitted a pure light even in the night, and its huge and sharp talons looked like they could easily kill these three little guys.

　"Awooo~!" The Lord of the World let out a low roar from its throat. In fact, if you only heard this sound, an unsuspecting creature would not feel that it was scary. But if it were a loud dragon roar, the hunters would know that they only need to lie down and wait to die.

　The three monsters were so frightened that they leaned back. "Bang bang bang." As white smoke rose from the three monsters, the little raccoon dog with mosquito coil-like eyes and two little foxes appeared in the same spot. At the same time, a leaf slowly fell from their foreheads.

　The Reincarnated One reached out a paw and touched the three little raccoon cats, strange, furry creatures that were probably inedible.

　"Godly Flow, Frost Mist Kingdom." The familiar voice of the Reincarnated Lord rang out, and a chill mixed with snowflakes and ice shards instantly filled the area. The Reincarnated Lord shivered and comfortably enjoyed the cold air. "Found Xiao Guang." At the same time, Xiao Gong and Lan Mei also arrived here.

　A flash of blue light appeared, and the World Lord transformed back into human form. Linghua immediately manipulated the ice and snow to freeze all the scales to the side. At this moment, Linghua could no longer squeeze out even a trace of elemental power. Linghua gasped for breath, and when she saw Xiaogong and the others arrive, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed with everything going black.

　Fortunately, the Divine Child took over Ayaka's work and continued the test of courage. For safety reasons and to give Shinkai an explanation, Kujo Sara took the three little tanuki back to the Tenryo Magistrate's Office and began an investigation.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: While researching, I came across some scrapped designs for the Electro Dragon. One of them looked quite similar to the Tobi-Kadachi from Wildlands, which gave me a ridiculous idea: what if the cover monster for this game appears like in X, and each one is related to the four monsters in X? After all, you can see there are four circles next to the logo!

　Volume 1: Chapter 265 - The Little Tanuki Escaped from Prison

　"Aaaaaah, a monster!"

　After regaining consciousness, the little raccoon immediately sat up in bed with a shout. All it saw was unfamiliar scenery. Fortunately, it wasn't on a bridge, so the little raccoon breathed a sigh of relief. Then it carefully observed its surroundings and saw its companions lying next to it. The little raccoon immediately ran over and sniffed them twice. It was relieved to find that its two companions were just asleep. It seemed that the monster hadn't eaten them.

　All around were walls and iron bars. The gaps in the iron bars were tightly bound by a chain, and there was a heavy iron lock on top. The little raccoon tried to reach out and tug at the chain, but the chain was heavy and tight, and the little raccoon could not untie it with her strength alone. Then the little raccoon tried to bite the chain, and the taste of rust immediately filled her mouth. The little raccoon quickly spat it out a few times.

　Just then, the little tanuki heard footsteps outside. The soldiers guarding them noticed that the little tanuki had woken up and immediately reported it to Kujo Sara. Kujo Sara's Tenryo Magistrate was in charge of the security of the Kanda Festival, so she immediately came to the place where the little tanuki was being held. Upon seeing Kujo Sara, the little tanuki immediately assumed a guarded posture.

　"You're awake. Tell me, what were you trying to do by attacking the guests on Haiqi Island?"

　The little tanuki had just raised its head when it saw the dashing woman in front of it. Kujo Sara usually tucked her wings into her clothes, so the little tanuki didn't recognize her as a tengu at first glance. "Hmph, hmph hmph hmph, of course we, the Hyakki Yagyō, will personally take back this Kanda Festival."

　Kujo Sara frowned slightly. "The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons disappeared hundreds of years ago. And how dare three mere demons talk about the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons? And those two little foxes, you've already woken up, haven't you?"

　The little tanuki turned around in surprise. After hearing Kujo Sara's words, the two little foxes also climbed off the bed and stood behind the little tanuki. The little foxes whispered in the little tanuki's ear.

　“You’re lying to us. We clearly saw Natto-kun and Kara-san-kun, and the Eye of the Hand was there too.”

　Kujo Sara shook her head helplessly. "Those are people in disguise, not real yokai."

　"Hmph, I, Bean Tanuki, will not believe you. Azumi, Awei, you should not believe this woman either." The little foxes called Azumi and Awei nodded, and the little tanuki Bean Tanuki proudly put her hands on her hips and said, "Mother told us that the Kanda Festival is an annual festival to pray for peace and tranquility for Inazuma. Such a festival must not be allowed to be touched by humans, not even you."

　Kujo Sara watched them quietly. After the Demon God War, the monsters in Inazuma territory rarely showed up, and she had no idea what these three little guys were up to. "So, specifically, what are you going to do?"

　"Hehehe, don't be scared after hearing this. We have devised a terrible and meticulous plan that will silence even a crying child. That is..."

　"That is."

　While Kujo Sara was thinking, Mameko immediately took a ball out of her pocket and threw it to the ground. A large amount of choking smoke immediately filled the entire cell.

　"Lightning flash."

　Kujo Sara moved with the speed of a tengu and immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming it at the cell. He said sternly, "Mameko, Azusa, Ayumi, this is the first and last warning. As long as you three stay in the cell and explain your purpose, I, in the name of the head of the Kujo family, guarantee your safety."

　Unfortunately, there was no response from inside the cell. Kujo Sara immediately realized something was wrong. After flapping her wings to disperse the smoke, she found the cell empty, with no trace on the floor or walls. Kujo Sara had no choice but to order her men to search quickly. However, just as Kujo Sara and the soldiers from the Tenryo magistrate's office left the cell, three small pebbles on the ground suddenly began to shake. Then, a cute sneeze sounded, and Mameko, Azusa, and Ayumi appeared in the cell.

　"Hehe, how about that? Isn't my Mame Tanuki amazing? Speaking of which, that woman just said she was the head of the Kujo family. Didn't Grandma say the head of the Kujo family was a Tengu? Hehe, a Tengu is nothing special."

　“But what do we do now? We can’t get out of here without the key.” As Azi described their current predicament, she hugged the trembling Awei tightly. The woman’s aura was quite strong, and the timid Awei hadn’t yet adjusted. Doulizi stood up, looked left and right, and suddenly found something. She said, “Look, we can use this window. We can climb out from here.”

　After speaking, the Bean Civets quickly jumped to the window and, after checking their size, discovered that their true forms could squeeze through.

　Azi followed Doulizi's example and jumped up, but the timid Awei couldn't muster any strength. Just as the two were together, footsteps came from the corridor again. Doulizi knew that the patrolmen must have returned. In desperation, Doulizi clung tightly to the window and let her tail down so that Awei could grab her tail and climb up. Only then were the three of them able to escape from this place.

　On the other side, Xin Hai controlled Hua Hai Yue to check on Ling Hua's body and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Ling Hua had simply fallen asleep due to exhaustion. With the help of the Divine Child, the Test of Courage was able to proceed as planned, but Gan Yu and the others were too preoccupied to think about anything else and were all keeping Ling Hua company. After taking a short nap, Ling Hua woke up.

　"Where's Xiaoguang? Is Xiaoguang alright?"

　"It's alright, thankfully you managed to control the situation, and then you overused your elemental power and went straight to sleep."

　Linghua smiled helplessly, and Xinhai recounted in detail the encounter with the three monsters and the confrontation with them. Linghua then thought of the strange girl wearing a tengu mask. She vaguely felt that these were all the same group of people. However, since such a thing had happened, Ganyu suggested that Linghua go back to rest early. So the group left the venue of the test of courage.

　The next day, after Shinkai confirmed that Ayaka's body was indeed fine, the last day of the Kanda Festival was announced to begin, and the tourists gathered at Narukami Shrine to pray for blessings and draw fortune slips. Just as Ayaka and Yoi-miya were preparing the fireworks for the evening's fireworks display, a clear voice rang out.

　"Alright, that's the end of the fake Kanda Festival."

　"Huh, huh?" At first, Xiaogong didn't understand what was happening, but it took him a while to realize what was going on.

　"What happened all of a sudden?"

　What caught her attention were the three small children. Gan Yu's gaze sharpened as she looked at them. The girl in the lead had brown raccoon ears and a fluffy tail, while the other two girls had orange fox ears and flame-like tails. This reminded her of the scene when she faced the Fools' Commander, Dottore, except that back then, the result was that the little girl blasted a lake in that place.

　Linghua put down the materials in her hands, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are the three monsters who disturbed the test of courage last night, right? What exactly do you want to do?"

　"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you that my name is Mame Tanuki, and I am the most proud granddaughter of Granny Suzuhime, and the most outstanding mage in the Tanuki clan."

　After Doulizi finished speaking, she saw that the fox-eared girl next to her did not speak, so she quietly rubbed her tail against her. Azi immediately reacted, "My name is Azi, and I am the eldest disciple of Granny Linggong."

　"I am Awei, and I am Azi's younger sister."

　Bean Tanuki glanced smugly at the crowd below, "For the future of the yokai, for a better life, we are the number one organization active in the yokai world, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

　Linghua was well-mannered, so she didn't laugh when she heard their words. Xiaogong, however, burst out laughing. "Haha, a hundred demons parade, you guys, hahaha, I have some candy here. We still have to work on the fireworks festival tonight, you guys go play somewhere else."

　Bean Tanuki stomped her feet in anger, then composed herself and said, "Hmph, it seems you still don't understand why we're here." Azi stood next to Bean Tanuki with a smug expression, while Awei, thinking of the teachings Granny Bellbow had given her, lowered her head and chanted a spell to summon foxfire.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: I've already written 600,000 words without even realizing it! Thank you all for your support and love. I will continue to work hard!

　PS3: If you fall down and it hurts wherever you touch, is it possible that you have a broken hand bone? Actually, learning to swim is very simple. First of all, don't be afraid of drowning. When you sink, relax and breathe. After a few days, you will naturally float up!

　Volume 1: 266 - It Was All the Son of God's Idea

　Xiaogong stopped smiling, as it would be impolite to continue. "Then, can you tell me, sister, what exactly are you going to do?"

　"Heh heh heh, that's exactly what our grand plan is all about."

　"That's right?"

　"Let's launch all the super beautiful fireworks prepared for the grand finale of the Kanda Festival, the fireworks display, at this bright noon!"

　"Huh?" Keqing was the first to be dumbfounded, followed by Xiaogong and Linghua, with Ganyu being the last.

　"Hehe, scared by our wicked plan, aren't you? This is what we came up with: to launch all the most beautiful fireworks that can only bloom in the dim evening sky during the bright daylight, so as to ruin everyone's wonderful experience. How about that? Terrifying, isn't it? Amazing, isn't it? Pretty impressive, right? Faced with such an amazing and meticulous plan, you're too scared to even speak, aren't you?"

　Ayaka and Yoomiya also showed expressions like little girls O_o, and Keqing looked at them with pitiful eyes. Mame Tanuki immediately noticed everyone's reaction, stomped her foot angrily, and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me with those weird looks?"

　Then, Doulizi realized something. "No, do you think we'd be afraid to carry out such a terrifying plan? Don't misunderstand, we, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, are..." Doulizi suddenly paused. Gan Yu, Ling Hua, Xiao Gong, and Ke Qing exchanged glances. They all had the same thought about Doulizi's expression: she had forgotten her lines.

　"In short, we, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, are a very terrifying organization, so don't underestimate us."

　Meanwhile, after receiving the report, Kujo Sara also arrived near Narukami Shrine. She then watched the three little ones' performance in its entirety and said, "Saying lines like that will only make you look down on by others."

　Doulizi blushed and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense, can't you just accept what we have to say?!" Then she took out a tinderbox from her waist, lit it with a hiss, and looked at the large bundle of fireworks next to her. Xiaogong immediately waved his hand to stop them, "Fireworks must be set off at the designated time, to be precise, they should only be set off in the evening."

　"That's why I told you about the fireworks; we're going to launch them right here now."

　Ayaka drew her folding fan. "Miss Kujo, I'm sorry, but I have to take action. These fireworks are the result of Yoi-no-miya's hard work. I can't just watch them destroy the fireworks that Yoi-no-miya has worked so hard to make. Otherwise, things will only get more complicated."

　Kujo Sara nodded, and Yoomiya said nervously, "Um, is it really okay? Are we really going to cause a scene here, inside Narukami Taisha, in the plaza?"

　Without hesitation, Ayaka waved her folding fan, and several shards of ice immediately condensed in the air. The ice shards then flew towards Mame Tanuki. At the critical moment, Azusa hurriedly pushed Mame Tanuki, and the ice shards that should have knocked away the tinderbox landed on Mame Tanuki's wrist. Even more coincidentally, the tinderbox, after leaving Mame Tanuki's hand, landed near the fireworks, the flame almost touching the fuse. Yoomiya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright. The fireworks that our Naganohara Fireworks Shop specially made for the Kanda Festival this time are all super large, so we designed safety devices to prevent accidental firing to a certain extent. A little spark won't cause it to launch."

　"Waaah, how could it have failed?" Bean Fox said, her voice trembling with tears.

　"Great, we finally stopped them." Before Yonomiya could finish speaking, Ayaka had already come to Yonomiya's side. "But even so, all the fireworks will be set on fire sooner or later. We need to find a way to put them out quickly."
