Fighting you is like being in jail.

"I, Common Cold, have only one very simple and singular thought... and only one! That is—to win and then to dominate!"

"As for the process and methods... they are not important!"

"Dragon God, you don't want that to happen again, do you? Hehehehe!"

In an instant, the Dragon God flew into a rage, roared, soared into the air, and slid to his knees.

"Red Donis Cipherson! I'll write down the final secret technique right now."

Although I've already died once, it would be too hellish to do it again.

Chapter 218 Yakumo Purple: Bliss

After obtaining the ultimate technique of Yakumo Shinken, Leng Chang smiled smugly and turned to look at Yakumo Ran.

"Is there anything else you need to arrange? If nothing unexpected happens, your Yukari Yakumo will be back soon."

Yakumo Ran frowned slightly, pinched her chin in thought, and then spoke.

"That's all for now. The old man should have plans for other things. I just don't know how he's doing over there."

"That's all for now. Oh, and I'll leave these coordinates here so I can come back if anything happens in the future."

Leng Chang nodded, put away the notebook that the Dragon God had written down, and then called Yakumo Yukari.

"I'm here, I've already washed up."

"R-Really!?"

"Really, really, you've got the secret technique too, you can go home soon."

"I'm fucking here!"

Swish!

"Where's the stuff?"

She rushed to Leng Chang's side immediately, eagerly surveying the surroundings, then grabbed the notebook and quickly flipped through it.

Almost immediately after a few breaths, Yukari Yakumo nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, that's the principle. I understand now!"

Ran Yakumo, who was watching from the side, asked curiously, "How do you plan to use it? It's a fist technique, after all."

"It's not a big problem. After all, I am a gap monster. I can just use my demonic power to replace your fist techniques."

She was very confident, and even a little eager to try.

“Demon power…” Yakumo Ran frowned as she pondered, “Although we are demons, we have almost no demon power, or rather, we have never practiced it.”

"It's such a good thing, yet you guys don't use it?" Yukari Yakumo's eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredulous.

"Maybe we've gotten used to it. After all, no matter how much demonic power you have, it can't compare to the feeling of a punch. What demonic power can do, our fist techniques can naturally do too. Besides, almost none of our abilities require demonic power to support them."

"You guys are amazing..." Yakumo Yukari said sourly, her eyes full of envy.

About half an hour later

"I learned!

Yakumo Yukari happily announced this, and then eagerly called out to Leng Chang and the other two.

Ryujin was full of surprise, "So fast? Are all guys named Yakumo Yukari this strong?"

"After all, it's a parallel entity; it's still Yakumo Yukari no matter what," Leng Chang said calmly.

"As expected of the old man's parallel world."

"So, are you ready to use it?"

Yukari Yakumo nodded confidently, opened her folding fan to cover her mouth, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

It's usable now. Although I won't see my counterpart in the other world, it's time for me to leave.

"Actually, as long as you go there, I can pinpoint your location and then bring the people over here."

Leng Chang gave a simple reminder, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"No! Please don't!" Yukari Yakumo trembled all over, feeling uncomfortable at the thought of her Reimu and the hunky Hakurei.

"Enough with the chit-chat, I'm going to start it up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yakumo Yukari unleashed her own demonic power, and a powerful aura continuously gathered around her.

With a clap of her hands!

Snapped!

"Yakumo Shinken: Parallel Transformation!"

Om-!

In the blink of an eye, her body seemed to fade and become transparent, and then she laughed happily, her golden eyes looking at Yakumo Ran and the Dragon God.

"I'm leaving, but I will never forget you all."

"..."

"..."

Before Yakumo Ran and the others could respond, she vanished from the spot.

Instead, a muscular, blond burly man with eyes gleaming with determination stood there, his 2.4-meter height blocking out the sunlight like a mountain.

"What?! I'm back?"

"Grandpa! Welcome back!"

Yakumo Ran shouted excitedly, and even went up to hug a strong man without realizing it, filled with joy.

Leng Jian was happy to see this, but felt like he had forgotten something.

Oh! I remember now, system.

I hope nothing bad happens to Lao Ba over there.

Normal Gensokyo

After Yukari Yakumo clearly saw the surrounding scenery and extended her youkai power to confirm the situation, her uneasy heart finally settled down upon seeing the familiar figures and art style.

"Wow—! I'm back! That's awesome! Blue, Orange!"

She rushed back to the Yakumo residence immediately, eagerly pushing open the door. The warm and familiar sight inside instantly soothed her soul.

"Welcome back, old man. Ah? It's Lord Zi? Where is the old man?"

Yakumo Ran, wearing a white apron and carrying a wok, walked out of the kitchen. Upon seeing that it was Yakumo Yukari, she immediately felt a pang of regret.

"Where's the old man?" she asked curiously.

"I'm going back... Now it's my time!"

Yukari Yakumo rushed excitedly into the living room and pounced on the table, happily grabbing a snack and munching away, scattering crumbs all over the table.

She didn't forget to call out to Yakumo Ran, "Ran, some drinks, and some ice too. I also want grilled eel for dinner, and ramen for supper!"

After saying that, she lay limply on the tatami mat, rolling around happily, even taking off her socks without any regard for her image, and entering "auntie mode."

Yakumo Ran instantly felt her face darken, the pressure increase sharply, and even her hands trembled as she cooked.

"Lord Zi... I'm too busy to handle this."

"Lan, hurry up and bring the drinks over!"

"Hey……"

She sighed, feeling utterly overwhelmed, and reluctantly went to get a drink. When she saw Yakumo Yukari sprawled out on the tatami mat, wriggling around, she began to miss her reliable old man.

"Lord Zi, here's your drink."

He handed over the orange juice.

"Thank you, I was just thirsty."

Before anyone knew it, Leng Chang was already sitting at the living room table, happily chugging down his drink.

"Who?!" Yakumo Ran was startled and immediately unleashed her demonic power, her fingernails transforming into sharp claws, her golden eyes staring warily at Leng Chang.

Yukari Yakumo, however, looked up from her lying position and asked, "Why are you here?"

Upon recognizing the person, Yakumo Ran immediately withdrew her demonic powers, bowed politely, and retreated to the kitchen to continue cooking.

"You didn't even tell Lan?" Leng Chang put down his drink and looked at Yakumo Yukari.

"What are you saying? I just got back, of course I need to rest. I really missed it, it was so comfortable! This is the life I should be living..."

Yakumo Yukari lay on the tatami mat, hugging a pillow and squinting her eyes, finally relaxing.

"You've probably forgotten something."

"What could I possibly forget? I'm back now, so I definitely haven't forgotten."

"System, system, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

"Fuck!"

Then she shouted it out with practiced ease.

"blue--!"

"Lord Zi... could you let me finish making dinner before calling me...?"

Yakumo Ran popped her head out of the kitchen, her face full of helplessness. Seeing this, Leng Chang could already imagine a rather awkward scene.

If it weren't for Lao Ba's high status, Yakumo Ran would have definitely yelled, "Shut up! All you do is yell! Lazy bum, never does anything productive. What a scoundrel!"

Laugh

His usually cold expression instantly turned comical. Should he stir up some trouble?

Then Yukari Yakumo asked, "Do you know about the system?"

Yakumo Ran's expression turned serious. She walked a few steps to the table, sat down, and said solemnly.

The old man had been following this matter, but I investigated for a long time and found nothing wrong. Not a single trace.

"How is this possible?" Yukari Yakumo was a little confused and looked at Leng Chang with a puzzled expression.

When asked about the attention he received, Leng Chang shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. There's no notification in the chat group either, so I'm afraid there really isn't a system for now."

"How did the old man notice?" Yakumo Ran asked, frowning.

"I don't know, maybe they've left. You know, once my notification appears, it's a complete lock."

"That guy didn't explain it clearly?"

Yukari Yakumo looked at Ran Yakumo with curiosity, feeling something was off.

"Well, the old man just had a feeling. I observed the entire Gensokyo but couldn't find anything, not even the Dragon God's full-fledged exploration. He's probably really gone."

Yukari Yakumo cheered and announced it loudly.

"If they leave, that would be wonderful! Let's have a party!"

"Lord Zi... let's skip the banquet and all that."

"No doubt about it! Let's have a banquet!"

"Hey……"

Finally, unable to persuade Yakumo Ran, Yakumo Yukari had no choice but to reluctantly agree, silently standing up and going back into the kitchen to begin cooking.

But not long after, Yakumo Yukari shouted again.

"Blue—! There are no more snacks!"

"Understood, Lord Zi."

Yakumo Ran responded and came out again to replace the table with a full serving of snacks.

Seeing this, Leng Chang, who was sitting to the side, understood perfectly why Yakumo Ran was under so much pressure. How could this wretched thing not be under a lot of pressure?

However, Leng Chang didn't pay much attention to it.

"In that case, I'll head back now."
