"Also, you weren't just looking at Yukari Yakumo just to confirm whether it was time to talk about the future of Gensokyo, were you?"

"—And this incident itself is also related to Yukari Yakumo?"

"..." Everyone's gaze shifted again, causing Yakumo Yukari to half-cover her face. "That ghost is indeed an old acquaintance of mine."

"But this anomaly really has nothing to do with me. She caused trouble on her own. You can punish her however you want afterward."

"And it would be good for me if she caused even more trouble, because then I could squeeze a lot of money out of her."

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari made no attempt to hide her chaotic and evil side, revealing an extremely immoral expression as she looked at Yang Xiying.

"—Brother Yang, you think the same way I do, right?"

"...!" Everyone was surprised by Yakumo Yukari's shamelessness; she was trying to drag Yang Xiying down with her!

“As the Demon King, Ibuki Suika is indeed worth extorting, and my strength was not enough to face the Demon King directly before.”

However, Yang Xiying did not show any signs of being dragged into this, and directly agreed with Yakumo Yukari's idea.

"Pah, you two singing in unison, you two like a married couple," Reimu Hakurei said with utter disgust upon hearing Yang Xiying's words.

The expressions on the faces of the others were also somewhat subtle.

"Hey bro, blink if you're being threatened," Marisa Kirisame chimed in at that moment.

"This Ghost King is still a king, after all. She has a lot of wealth and power. So tell me, do you want to squeeze some money out of her?"

"Is that demon king really as rich as you say?" Reimu Hakurei asked with a suspicious look, leaving the others speechless.

—You actually took the bait!

"Well, in short, regardless of whether that ghost king has money or not, we should resolve this anomaly."

Reimu Hakurei coughed lightly and changed her mind. What she had just said was indeed inappropriate. In any case, it was time for the shrine maiden to work.

"Let's catch that ghost first."

“I have a good idea to bring this up,” Yang Xiying said at this moment, attracting everyone’s attention.

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"

“Hey,” Yang Xiying said, taking out a jar of wine from her spatial backpack, and everyone who saw it was surprised.

The girls in Gensokyo are all the type who like to drink a few drinks, so they can also appreciate alcohol and distinguish between good and bad wines.

Even though the wine Yang Xiying brought out was unopened, you could feel how good it was. Its aroma, color, flavor, and aftertaste were all top-notch!

"Demons are the type who cherish alcohol quite a bit, so I'm going to do this—!"

But Yang Xiying did something extraordinary at that moment: she picked up the jar and threw it high into the air, which shocked everyone.

"Wait a minute...!" This wine looks amazing, it would be such a waste to throw it away now!

Reimu Hakurei instinctively reached out to catch it, but someone beat her to it. White mist suddenly condensed around her and finally revealed a human figure!

She landed with the wine jar in her arms, then turned to look at Yang Xiying, pointing at him with an extremely angry expression.

"You bastard! Don't you know that doing this will incur divine retribution?!"

"Exactly, Yang, even if you're going to lure out the ghost, you don't have to throw away such good wine, do you? I want to drink it too!"

Saigyouji Yuyuko puffed out her cheeks, revealing a rather displeased expression, which startled the others.

Even if you want to lure out the alcohol-loving ghost, you don't have to go to such extremes. Now everyone has seen the new face.

The girl who took the wine jar was petite and cute with light brown hair, wearing a white sleeveless top and a purple long skirt.

Her hair was tied with a large red ribbon bow, a wine gourd hung from her waist, and she was also wrapped in metal chains and even bound with various geometric shapes.

She has two long horns on her head, but they are not very straight or asymmetrical. She has long, straight hair, which is tied into a bunch near the ends.

This creature wasn't human, but it was a type of yokai that most of those present had never seen before, and judging from how tightly she was clutching the jar...

This must be what they call a ghost, but is this petite and cute appearance really that of a ghost king? Or is it like Remi, whose appearance doesn't always reflect reality?

"Don't worry, I also treasure that kind of wine, so I won't just throw it away," Yang Xiying said with a smile.

"—I really didn't expect to be able to lure out a ghost with an empty can."

"An empty can...?!" Everyone was stunned when they heard Yang Xiying say that, including the petite and cute girl.

"So light! You tricked me!" She realized the jar was very light, and when she opened the lid, she found it was empty, with only the smell of wine inside.

“Little sister, even when fishing, you release the whole bait out,” Yang Xiying said with a smile.

"This jar of Drunken Life and Dreamy Death wine is the finest of its kind, even I am reluctant to drink it," and most importantly, it has a strong aftereffect.

The description says it will make you forget everything you've ever done, forget the troubles and pain of life, and permanently increase your attack and defense.

However, this would reduce his comprehension, so it wasn't that Yang Xiying was reluctant to drink it, but rather that he, with his high comprehension, simply dared not drink it.

"But to lure out a ghost king of your caliber, the only thing we can do now is with this kind of top-quality wine."

Regardless, this is a very good wine, and it should be able to lure out the wine-loving devil.

So Yang Xiying took out the Drunken Dream, but he still wanted to save some money, so at that time he directly swapped Heaven's Time with the water element magic.

They left an empty can, and then threw it away before anyone could react. After all, how could simply leaving an empty can in place attract a ghost?

"...Ugh, what cunning humans, resorting to such despicable means," the ghost girl said with displeasure.

"In short, now that you've shown yourself, things will be much easier. Stop this anomaly for me."

At this moment, Reimu Hakurei stepped forward and spoke.

"Okay."

"Huh? You can?!" Hearing the Demon King say that, Reimu Hakurei and the other girls from Gensokyo showed surprised expressions.

If you encounter the initiator of the mutation, is it possible to stop the mutation by not fighting them?!

"Since Zi and that human said they would wait for me to cause more serious damage and then extort money from me, then of course I have to stop now."

As the Demon King spoke, Yang Xiying and Yakumo Yukari once again garnered rather peculiar glances from the crowd.

"However, I'll still drink, and I'll still fight," Ghost King suddenly changed the subject, turning his gaze to Yang Xiying.

"Hey you, Yang Xiying, who lured me out here, let's fight! If I win, you'll have to give me that 'Drunken Dream' thing!"

"...Can I refuse?"

Seeing that the other side had targeted her, Yang Xiying couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, the level of Fierce SP is already at the level of that old man Yakumo Yukari!"

"You're not allowed to refuse. You should take responsibility for using such despicable means to lure me out," the Ghost King retorted directly.

"Besides, didn't you mention me when you were professing your love to the women of Gensokyo? You said you wanted to become as strong and bold as Suika Ibuki."

“But you’re not decisive at all right now. I, Suika Ibuki, would never be interested in someone like you.”

"……!" Yang Xiying broke out in a cold sweat as she sensed the gazes on her. Sure enough, she would have to pay for what she had said one day.

“I just think it’s pointless for you to gamble with me,” Yang Xiying replied, forcing a smile.

"Because I wouldn't dare give any of the 'Drunken Life, Dreamy Death' wine to anyone, even though it's good wine, I can't guarantee what might happen if they drank it."

"—After all, this is a drink that I heard people say can make you forget everything."

So that's how it happened?

Upon hearing this, Reimu Hakurei and the others were stunned, forgetting everything else; this was indeed a terrifying drink.

“What does that matter? As long as it tastes good, that’s all that matters,” however, Suika Ibuki didn’t care at all.

—It seems she really is a complete alcoholic.

"So come and challenge me! If you don't make a move, I will!" Ibuki Suika tossed the sake jar aside.

"To be honest, I don't need to waste so much time talking to you. After all, when we ghosts find something we like, we just grab it."

"Are you sure you want to make a move here?" Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. This was the Hakurei Shrine. If they caused trouble here, they would surely be punished.

“Otherwise what? Anyway, no one else is trying to stop me,” Ibuki Suika retorted, which surprised Yang Xiying.

"Wait, why are you all suddenly so far away from me?"

Yang Xiying suddenly realized that the Gensokyo girls who had been surrounding her had all moved to the side and were quietly watching her.

"Since this guy is cooperating with my work so well, I don't need to worry about it too much. Besides, this is your business, Yang Xiying."

“It’s not good for us to get involved,” Reimu Hakurei said, taking a sip of tea. Marisa Kirisame chimed in at that moment.

"Exactly. Even if we intervened at a time like this, she would still contact you privately, since she specifically named you."

They really can't control this situation now.

“And…and the strength of the other side is beyond our capabilities,” Hong Meiling suddenly said with a hint of embarrassment.

"Yang, good luck," Alice and Patchouli said, and Izayoi Sakuya offered words of encouragement when she didn't know what else to say.

"Go, big brother! Beat the evil spirit that caused the mutation to its knees!" Flandre cheered the loudest.

"Anyway, we'll be your cat cart when we're really in danger," Yukari Yakumo said with a smile.

“Yang, I also want to experience that decadent lifestyle, so please make sure you win,” Saigyouji Yuyuko said with a smile.

"I might as well just give the 'Drunken Life, Dreamy Death' to the other side," Yang Xiying said speechlessly. These guys are just too disloyal!

“I don’t need your charity!” Suika Ibuki said at this moment. “Besides, as the Demon King, it’s embarrassing for you to call me cute.”

"—Now I'll show you my might."

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll fight you,” Yang Xiying took a deep breath, knowing that this battle was unavoidable.

“If you want to take everything from me by force, then you should also be prepared to have something taken from you by me,” his eyes sharpened.

"For the next few months, you're not allowed to refuse me when I want to hug you!" Since it's a bet, he should at least get some compensation.

"Huh—?" Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Ibuki Suika was stunned, revealing a rather surprised expression.

"..."

However, Yang Xiying's words had a somewhat disastrous quality, because the way people around her looked at her had changed.

"Wow, bro, after staying in Gensokyo for so long, are you finally starting to show your beastly side?! You actually made such a lewd request!"

Marisa Kirisame exclaimed in surprise, looking like she was about to witness a good show, while Yang Xiying immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Because in island nations, hugging seems to have other connotations... No, he didn't mean anything by it at all!

PS: This is a two-part update of 4,000 words. There will be another update later...

NO.88 Ibuki Suika is so cute at first sight, I'd love her and marry her!

“There are indeed cases in the animal kingdom where courtship is based on strength,” Patchouli said slowly, closing her book and looking at the two people on the field.

“That seems quite normal,” Alice suddenly realized something, and then she and Reimu Hakurei took a few steps back.

"I see. Big brother wants to beat that Ghost King to his knees and then drag him back to use as Star Fury Power? Okay, Fran will cheer you on!"

Fran's cheers grew even more enthusiastic, causing Remilia, standing nearby, to somewhat lose her composure and become frantic.

"Fulan, what kind of weird comics have you been reading! Yang Xiying, you bastard!" She also cursed at Yang Xiying.

Because at this moment she thought of what happened after Izayoi Sakuya lost to Yang Xiying, although she had observed and experimented over the past few days.

Neither Hong Meiling nor she herself showed any unusual behavior, which put her at ease. But now, hearing Yang Xiying's words, she realized something!

Perhaps this is because the guy hasn't shown any vulgar thoughts yet, after all, Sakuya said that she understood his thoughts during the sparring session.

—And now Yang Xiying has already expressed her thoughts directly!

So, will I have another sister soon?

Seeing this scene, Izayoi Sakuya's expression was subtle, while Hong Meiling also looked like she was watching the show.

"Oh, my fellow villager is quite generous in this regard. Don't forget to treat me to a drink after it's all done."

"The marriage of a powerful human and a demon king must be a very lively banquet," Yuyuko Saigyouji thought, feeling that her chance to enjoy a feast had arrived.

"..." Yakumo Yukari smiled without saying a word, Yakumo Ran was expressionless, and Konpaku Youmu's expression was strange; she didn't know what expression to make.
