The Great Master of Gensokyo

Those who cultivate to become immortals invariably possess various extraordinary abilities. While their physical strength may not be great, their methods of self-preservation or killing are the most exquisite.

She was a sophisticated egoist whose original idea was to sway Yuzuru into following her lead and converting him from the Yin-Yang School to Taoism.

However, now that Yuzuru knows her secret, Huo Qing'e is determined to find out the truth no matter what.

Even the idea of ​​him switching to Taoism faded away, and Huo Qing'e became wary of what kind of trap Yu Sheng might set for her.

"Well…"

It seems they've gone too far. Huo Qing'e is, after all, someone who refuses to suffer losses and always puts herself first.

"Really, why do you have to ask so many questions?" Yuzuru muttered helplessly, "Your Majesty."

"The Yin-Yang Way originates from Taoism, so it naturally knows some methods for exploring the past and future."

"You're interested, and I'm interested, so why ask so many irrelevant questions?"

Yu Sheng coughed lightly and addressed Huo Qing'e.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty probably doesn't have a younger sister named Luo Tianyi in your secular family."

Seeing Huo Qing'e's appearance, Yu Sheng couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"Sister? I have no idea who this Luo Tianyi you're talking about is."

Huo Qing'e said with a flicker in her eyes, having already taken a step back.

She had a feeling that she had walked right into the tiger's den.

She knew very well that Yuzuru had several shikigami (spirits) by his side who were no less powerful than great yokai (demons).

"A very beautiful songstress. It would be a real shame if you didn't know her. To be honest, she looks a lot like that person."

Yuzuru shook his head, saying with considerable regret.

"This is a perfect day, with beautiful scenery and falling flowers and flowing water, why not explore the Dao of Yin and Yang together and cultivate both body and spirit?"

Yuzuru had given up all hope and knew he couldn't just fool Huo Qing'e anymore.

If violence is used, then it is perfectly justified.

"You... shameless!" The change in address made Huo Qing'e realize that Yu Sheng's words were no longer as gentle as before.

Moreover, the word "girl" is used to refer to an unmarried woman waiting to be married.

How does this guy know so much about the fact that he's a virgin?

"Isn't this perfectly reasonable?" Yu Sheng chuckled and said to Huo Qing'e, "Cultivating both body and mind, and jointly exploring the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, is the true path of cultivation."

Yu Sheng's veiled implication only fueled Huo Qing'e's anger.

It was extremely difficult for her to cultivate herself into an immortal, and many of the methods she used over the centuries were not those of immortals.

Otherwise, she should have ascended to the Celestial Realm long ago, instead of lingering as an Immortal.

Moreover, Huo Qing'e has encountered many such calamities, several times on the verge of death, being pursued by ghosts and gods of the underworld.

Most immortals who achieve immortality are actually quite weak; truly powerful ones are relatively rare.

Since the purpose of spiritual practice is to achieve immortality, and Taoism emphasizes tranquility and non-action, living in seclusion in deep mountains and forests makes it impossible to fight with others.

However, she is different from the immortals in the Central Plains. She became an immortal through unorthodox cultivation and has a great deal of knowledge about combat. Among the immortals, her strength is also top-notch.

"In the path of cultivation, one should respect one's elders," Huo Qing'e said with a forced smile, a sinister aura emanating from her.

"If one is like Lord Saigyouji, one will sooner or later become a heretic and evil, and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth."

Huo Qing'e had a hidden meaning in her words; she was determined to teach this guy a lesson and show this Far Easterner what Taoist methods were all about.

"A heretic? Then I really must experience the magical abilities of this young lady."

Yu Sheng, seemingly unconcerned, watched Huo Qing'e make her move, but inwardly he was quite expectant.

After all, this was the first time Yuzuru had encountered an immortal on this land. Overjoyed, he naturally wanted to have a fling with Huo Qing'e.

However, a ghostly aura filled Yuzuru's room, and suddenly, fierce-looking little demons darted out and attacked Yuzuru.

Huo Qing'e quickly retreated, her body floating up, her arches lightly touching the ground.

The wall behind her seemed to offer no obstacle; her ability to pass through walls was unparalleled, so no obstacle could stop her.

"Escape?"

Yuzuru chuckled, but then thought it was quite in line with Huo Qing'e's personality, and hurriedly chased after her.

"With such methods, young lady, one cannot call her an immortal; it would be more accurate to call her an evil immortal."

He drove away the little devils that were close to Yuzuru, and waited for Huo Qing'e for a long time. Naturally, he couldn't let Huo Qing'e go so easily.

Outside, Yuzuru's shikigami was already waiting.

"You can't escape."

Yuzuru was full of confidence at this moment. Behind Huo Qing'e, Inugami and Yuki-onna surrounded him, while Kuganeko and Baku bared their teeth and claws.

"Halt." Yao Dao Ji's gaze was cold, but Huo Qing'e's lips curled up as if she were stepping on auspicious clouds.

"I'll have to decline, Lord Saigyouji."

After saying that, Huo Qing'e continued to create dark ghostly mist. This time, it wasn't those ordinary little ghosts, but the zombies that Huo Qing'e had carefully raised.

Zombies are beings that exist between life and death, existing outside the cycle of life and death.

It's no wonder Huo Qing'e is called an evil immortal for manipulating the bodies of the dead.

Orthodox immortals, how could they raise little ghosts and zombies like she did?

The appearance of dozens of zombies gave Huo Qing'e a chance to escape.

“Spiritual binding, imprisonment.”

How could Yu Sheng let Huo Qing'e escape? With a flick of his finger, the binding spells came from all directions towards Huo Qing'e.

"Here comes the sword."

The Futsu-no-Mitama sword appeared in Yuzuru's hand, the sword crackling with lightning as it pierced the sky and struck Huo Qing'e.

Huo Qing'e's expression changed slightly. With a divine weapon in hand, how could Yu Sheng possibly fight?

Moreover, divine artifacts related to thunder magic, such as the Futsu-no-Mitama Sword, are the most effective against evil creatures like zombies. Her methods might not be effective against Yu Sheng, which made Huo Qing'e anxious.

"Only fragrance!"

As the highest-ranking masterpiece among Huo Qing'e's zombie subordinates, let's see how this little Yin-Yang Master handles it.

...

Author's message:

P.S.: To be honest, Huo Qing'e really does look a lot like Luo Tianyi.

Chapter 135 The Righteous Path of Yin and Yang, Cultivating Both Body and Spirit

Zombies are not subject to the cycle of reincarnation.

If this were in the Central Plains, he would have been universally hated. Even in this Far Eastern country, he is equally despised.

"So this is your magical skill? It's truly awe-inspiring." Yu Sheng said with a leisurely smile.

"hateful."

Huo Qing'e was furious. Yu Sheng's mockery had upset her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Huo Qing'e had long since come to terms with the unorthodox path of cultivating immortality, but now that Yu Sheng is gradually reopening her wounds, she is eager to teach Yu Sheng a lesson.

A thunderclap suddenly rose from the ground. Yu Sheng's sword was already aimed at Huo Qing'e, who retreated repeatedly, not daring to confront Yu Sheng head-on.

The immortal race is merely a species that cultivates itself to achieve immortality; even if they master magic, it is only for self-defense.

Moreover, she uses too many unorthodox methods, and it's not certain that she could defeat Yuzuru if she used them.

He summoned his zombie subordinates, but was relentlessly pursued by Yuzuru, leaving him no time to prepare.

The Futsu-no-Mitama Sword pressed closer and closer, while on Huo Qing'e's left and right, dozens of zombies had already been killed by Yu Sheng's shikigami.

She felt even more anxious and uneasy.

"Do you think you can escape?" Yuzuru said, sounding like a wicked demon king.

At that moment, the illusion of a blue dragon rose into the air from behind Yuzuru.

Yu Sheng stared at Huo Qing'e, which greatly shocked Huo Qing'e.

The ancient Azure Dragon of the Fantasy Species is actually Yuzuru's guardian spirit?

The Azure Dragon looked over, its dragon might instantly subduing him.

At this moment, Yu Sheng's golden binding technique immediately entangled Huo Qing'e.

"I'm so sorry for offending you." He bound Huo Qing'e, restraining her hands and preventing her from casting any spells.

Golden binding chains appeared on his hands. With a pull, Yu Sheng instantly pulled Huo Qing'e into his arms.

"Shameless scoundrel, let me go. Or I'll kill you."

The more Huo Qing'e struggled, the more amused Yu Sheng became, and the less he wanted to let go.

“Where have I been shameless or lecherous? Miss Qing’e, please tell me.”

Yu Sheng smiled calmly, showing no fear of Huo Qing'e's threat.

If it were a legitimate immortal like Yu Sheng, he might have some concerns, but Huo Qing'e is ultimately an evil immortal, and her methods are simply not enough to deal with him.

"I had no ill intentions toward Miss Qing'e. I have long admired Miss Qing'e and have finally met her after much longing."

"Qing'e's attitude has really saddened me."

Yuzuru's words infuriated Huo Qing'e.

Your sadness has nothing to do with Huo Qing'e.

However, at this point, Huo Qing'e was already a lamb to the slaughter, and it wouldn't be easy for her to escape.

Huo Qing'e underestimated Yuzuru's abilities and overestimated her own escape skills.

What are you going to do?

Huo Qing'e was filled with shame and indignation, but at this moment she was also prepared to be manipulated by Yu Sheng at will.

Her ability to pass through walls is unparalleled; she can pass through any obstacle. No barrier can stop her, and no cage can confine her.

But because of carelessness, he ran into that bastard Yuzuru.

Unexpectedly, Yuzuru's power was able to restrain her, which made her feel even more incredible.

The battle was won from the very beginning because of Yuzuru's prior preparation.

There are differences. Firstly, immortals are not good at fighting. Secondly, Huo Qing'e's unorthodox methods are useful to others but useless to Yu Sheng.

Thirdly, having witnessed Yuzuru's power and the strength of his shikigami, Huo Qing'e had no choice but to accept her fate since she could not escape.

"What does that girl want me to do?"

Yu Sheng's nasty words infuriated Huo Qing'e, but she was helpless to do anything about it.

There is a clear difference between the two.

“If Miss Qing’e is interested, we can become cultivation partners. After all, in Taoism, when it comes to wealth, companion, method, and land, companion is the second most important.”

Yu Sheng continued to tease Huo Qing'e.

"If you treat me lightly, I will kill you first and then kill myself."

She kept her word. Although the social norms of her time were not strictly enforced, it did not mean that Huo Qing'e did not value her reputation.

"I admire Miss Qing'e, so naturally I won't force anything." Yu Sheng smiled awkwardly. If he really went for it, he wouldn't be able to handle the situation, and that wasn't Yu Sheng's purpose.

He's a celestial being, so Yuzuru still gave him some face.

otherwise…

Fortunately, Yuzuru was well-prepared this time, which allowed him to catch Huo Qing'e. If he hadn't caught her, there wouldn't have been a next time.
