Chapter 119 Why not take advantage of Old Lady Zi's good fortune? (laughs)

After seeing off the third-generation old man who seemed to have experienced a second spring in his life, Bai Ye suddenly realized that no one would notice if he secretly made a few sarcastic remarks now...

Ok?

"Is it getting dark?" Noticing that the indoor light had suddenly dimmed, Bai Ye turned his head and glanced at the shop entrance.

"It shouldn't be dark yet, right?" Black Jeanne also glanced outside: "It's more like the light outside is being blocked by something, but that thing couldn't get into the shop."

“Interesting…” Upon arriving at the shop entrance, Bai Ye reached his hand into the dark red blood mist, and only after a long while did he withdraw his hand.

The red mist does have some corrosive properties, but it has no effect on beings of his level. It seems more like it was released specifically to block the sunlight overhead.

Ordinary people might indeed be affected by this red mist, but since it can release a mist that covers the entire Human Village, it probably wouldn't care about mere humans, right?

Just as he was about to close the door and sort out the ninjutsu that the Third Hokage had sold, a gap opened at the shop entrance.

"This has nothing to do with me! 860" / "I know this anomaly has nothing to do with you!"

After exchanging glances for half a second, Byakuya and Yakumo Yukari spoke almost simultaneously, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat strange.

"Come on in. Standing in this red mist doesn't suit your style at all." After glancing at Yukari Yakumo from head to toe, Byakuya made way for her and sat down opposite her.

"Let me ask you a question first..." Looking at Yakumo Yukari, who was sitting with her legs crossed, Byakuya rubbed his hands together: "I remember you got me drunk at the Hakurei Shrine last time, right?"

"Brother, if you hadn't mentioned it, we would have almost forgotten about it." Yukari Yakumo's expression immediately turned serious.

"...So what exactly did I do after I got drunk?"

"You...you've forgotten all of that?" Under Bai Ye's astonished gaze, Yakumo Yukari suddenly covered her face: "You clearly did all sorts of things to me while you were drunk, and it took me so long to recover, but I didn't expect that you, my dear, would want to deny it so easily..."

Bai Ye's eyelids twitched simultaneously: "Could you please explain more clearly, okay? What exactly is it?"

"It's just..." Yakumo Yukari shyly looked up at Byakuya, "It's that kind of thing~"

"..."

Looking back at the expressionless Black Jeanne, Bai Ye suddenly realized... Wait a minute, if it really was a one-step process, then given this girl's personality, she would definitely wake up under the scorching heat of the demonic flames, instead of having a soaked towel brought to her bedside like this morning?

Having figured this out, and looking closely at Yukari Yakumo's performance, although the woman's acting was perfect, there was always a hint of mockery hidden in her every move...

You deceived my feelings, Bai!

"Since you've said so, then that's definitely how it is." Bai Ye suddenly stood up and sat down next to Yakumo Yukari, casually placing one hand on her shoulder.

"What do you want to do?"

"I was so drunk that day that I didn't feel anything. Now that the outside is shrouded in red mist and we both have nothing to do, let me catch up on my business." Bai Ye's face revealed a lewd expression.

Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment, then tapped Byakuya's hand with her folding fan.

"Stop fooling around, we're here to talk serious today!"

"But I'm talking about serious business!"

"..."

How long has it been since anyone dared to so brazenly flaunt their morals with themselves?

"Stop fooling around, I'm really talking to you about something serious. As for what you mentioned..." Yakumo Shiko gave Bai Ye a strange look: "Let's wait until you've really gotten used to the mindset of the immortal race before we talk about it. Besides, a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl like me isn't someone you can just casually get your hands on."

Is it seventeen to the power of seventeen months of age?

"Let's get down to business." Jokes can be effective in building rapport, but too much can backfire. Bai Ye picked up the spirit tea on the table, took a sip, and looked at Yakumo Yukari before asking.

"Hmm...you must have seen the red mist that's shrouding the human world outside, right?"

"I saw it, but it shouldn't be anything serious, right?" Based on his own experience, those red mists could probably be ignored even by Esdeath's teacher in the Lake of Mist. At most, they would only be able to bully ordinary people.

"What if we say that the red mist covers the entire Gensokyo?"

"...What the hell?"

Although the atmosphere at the banquet at Hakurei Shrine was quite pleasant for Byakuya, to be honest, both Kazami Yuuka from Sunflower Field and Yagokoro Eirin from Eientei gave him a very intimidating feeling.

As for the creature in front of us, which is said to be the mastermind behind countless secrets in the entire Gensokyo...

"Wait a minute, if you know this red mist has nothing to do with me, then why did you come here? Or are you the one who's actually behind this?"

"Brother, what you're saying makes us a little sad. As the manager of the great barrier, even though we don't seem to be doing anything concrete right now, we're incredibly worried!"

"Are you worried that the creator of the red mist might be casually killed by Yuuka Kazami who happens to be passing by?"

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

Thinking about it carefully, it's quite possible. Although Yuuka-chan bought the sunflowers that she could produce and sell herself from Byakuya, the sunlight was blocked and distorted, and she, as a flower fairy, would definitely be the first to feel unhappy.

"Let's go to the sunflower field first, and I'll tell you the specifics when we get back. This incident is mainly because we want to test how well the creatures in Gensokyo accept Gensokyo. As one of the spell card makers, your opinion is also quite important." After hurriedly saying this, Yukari Yakumo opened a gap and stretched her upper body inside after Byakuya released the spatial suppression in the shop.

Then, a series of booming sounds came from the other side of the gap.

Upon entering the pitch-black crevice, he found half a woman's body, specifically the lower half from the chest down. Seeing this rather grotesque scene, Bai Ye felt no fear; instead, a daring idea formed in his mind…

“My dearest friend, that thing in front of you doesn’t seem to be a normal human being. Can I cut it down?” Tony’s voice rang out in the shop. Bai Ye turned around and saw that the trio who had agreed to go to the Netherworld had all returned to the shop. Tony was holding a divine sword that looked quite impressive.

"Sorry, you really can't see this." Bai Ye casually patted Yakumo Yukari's thigh. "Snap out of it, haven't you finished yet?"

Although he was quite shameless when joking with Bai Ye, he was actually surprisingly meticulous in some ways. Before Bai Ye could retract his hand, a high-speed train flew out from the gap and crashed heavily into Bai Ye.

As expected, Bai Ye didn't feel any impact at all before the train was stopped by the Dimensional Shop's defenses.

"You really aren't being polite at all..." Yukari Yakumo narrowed her eyes. "If you like my body, just say so. Anyway... hmph..."

Seeing the three Godslayers with their faces full of gossip, Yukari Yakumo hummed twice but didn't say anything more. She simply raised her hand to open a gap, pulled Yuuka Kazami over, and then the two girls squeezed together to look at the gap. Yuuka Kazami looked indifferent, while Yukari Yakumo pointed at the gap with a grin.

Thanks to Kazami Yuuka's emotionless glance at the three god-slayers as she approached, Luo Hao, who had learned his lesson, realized she was in a bad mood and didn't do anything reckless. Similarly, the Marquis, who had also had a painful experience at Eientei, probably realized the same truth as Lu Yinghua: "The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is," and decisively pretended not to see her.

Seeing his two seniors suddenly acting strangely, Tony thought about it seriously and felt that there might really be something terrifying going on...

"You three... seem to have made quite a haul?"

"Hmm." A look of joy appeared on the Marquis's face: "With two more fresh troops, those who only know how to gang up on others are no match for us at all. After receiving the message from the two of them, I went straight to where those guys lived and launched a pincer attack. None of the bastards there escaped."

"It was indeed a good battle." Luo Hao nodded seriously.

On the other side, whether it was the swordsman's intuition or the extraordinary luck of a god-slayer, Tony simply wiped the longsword in his hand quietly.

"That is……?"

"An old guy's subordinate god, probably couldn't resist after encountering a good sword as a swordsman." Luo Hao glanced at him.

But at that moment, Bai Ye was surprised to see Tony slap the sword in front of him after wiping it: "My dear friend, how much do you think this sword is worth?"

WTF?

Bai Ye was completely bewildered.

“I admit that a good sword can greatly improve my skills, but for a true swordsman, when he abandons the pursuit of the highest swordsmanship and instead sets his sights on those more effective swords, he has already begun to put the cart before the horse,” Tony said, explaining his thoughts and reasons for doing so.

"Huh? Wait a minute." Yukari Yakumo, who was huddled with Yuuka Kazami discussing something, glanced over and suddenly noticed that the sword in Tony's hand looked familiar. She quickly asked, "That sword you're holding..."

"You mean the Kusanagi Sword? I got this from a little girl before I entered the Netherworld."

“It really is this…” Yakumo Yukari was speechless, as if recalling some past experience, and looked at Byakuya: “Shopkeeper, is this sword for sale?”

"You don't seem to be a swordsman, why are you buying this?"

“I always felt that I would need it someday, after all…” Yakumo Yukari smiled mysteriously, took the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword, which was now in card form, and put it away. Then she had Byakuya swipe the Origin Coins from her card to buy the sword.

Following the unfortunate encounter with the subordinate god, the Marquis placed the package in front of Bai Ye. After taking a look, Bai Ye discovered that it contained divine artifacts...

Why can't these people be kept alive to summon gods? Unless you use a powerful attack to forcibly kill them like you did with Helios, it seems much easier to deal with a previously killed traitor than a completely new and unknown one.

Although he couldn't understand the three people's intentions, Bai Ye still distributed the Origin Coins from recycling these divine artifacts into their respective accounts according to his own business standards.

Afterwards, the Marquis and Tony confidently made a promise to Bai Ye that whenever they discovered that two or more people were not complying, they would invite Bai Ye to a "carnival".

"Those three... don't seem to be simple people, do they?" After the three left, Yukari Yakumo asked.

“Yes, in that world, they are kings who killed the gods and usurped their power for their own use, and are known as campiones by mortals.” Bai Ye nodded.

"Godslayer..." Yakumo Yukari repeated softly, her eyes rolling as she pondered the specific meaning of those three words.

According to Lan's report, it seems that some time ago, an old man dressed very similarly to that old man went to Eientei under Baiye's guidance.

Silently putting her conversation with Eirin Yagokoro on the agenda, and after squeezing to the side so that she was almost pressed against Yuuka Kazami, Yukari Yakumo waved to Byakuya: "The main tournament is about to begin, little shopkeeper, are you really not going to come and watch?"

"The main competition?"

"Yes, yes, the first major incident in Gensokyo to use spell card rules. Although it still seems like a small-scale incident to us, once there is a first, there will be a second and a third. As long as this incident can be resolved smoothly, once the news spreads, those youkai will naturally take the existence of spell card rules seriously."

“They’ve already written the spell card rules into the Great Barrier, as if they dare not take it seriously now.” Shaking his head, Bai Ye still sat down next to Yakumo Yukari.

Seeing that the gap between Byakuya and Yakumo Yukari was almost invisible but still real, Black Jeanne, standing beside Byakuya, breathed a slight sigh of relief... It was much more comfortable that they weren't pressed together.

Bai Ye and Yakumo Yukari didn't notice Jeanne Alter's little scheme; their eyes were all fixed on the gap, watching the scene unfolding at the entrance of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Reimu, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, already showed obvious impatience, while Marisa, dressed in a black and white Western-style magician outfit, was eager to fight against Hong Meiling, using spell cards that had quickly gained Marisa's approval after being promoted.

"I'm curious... how did those two end up together?"

“After that banquet, you…” Kazami Yuuka glanced at Byakuya, then skipped over the ellipsis, “Anyway, that was probably their first meeting. They probably thought that two children of similar age would have something in common. Later, Alice took Marisa to the shrine a few times, and they became familiar with each other over time.”

"I see..." Bai Ye replied casually.

So please tell me clearly what exactly happened that day!

Chapter 121 The Little Girl in the Basement

After each person explained the spell cards they would be using, the duel officially began.

Under Bai Ye's astonished gaze, Marisa once again pulled out her mini Bagua Furnace. However, this time, the Bagua Furnace was no longer like before, which could only barely rub against the sparks of the little monsters. Instead, it released a dazzling barrage of bullets.

"Magic Rune: Stardust Fantasy"!

"Not bad, quite pleasing to the eye." Bai Ye nodded.

"She put this together with Alice's help, and like you said, it looks pretty good."

Then, under the watchful eyes of Reimu, who was observing closely, and Byakuya and the others who were watching from afar, Hong Meiling went forward with great momentum and shattered every single barrage of Marisa's attacks?

According to the spell card rules, this means you have successfully sent yourself out of the game.

Seeing that Hong Meiling had turned pale after realizing what was happening, Marisa waved her arm in dissatisfaction: "No matter what, this is way too obvious! How can they do this!"

“I…” Hong Meiling raised her head with difficulty, trying to explain.

"Too late." Accompanied by a voice that was hard to tell whether it was helpless or angry, a silver sword flew through the air, drawing a graceful arc.

In the Dimensional Shop, Bai Ye covered his eyes with his hand. "Zi, can we make a deal? It's obvious that this kind of idiot can't see how the spell card rules work or whether there are any flaws that will allow someone to find out. While things at the entrance haven't ended yet, why don't we turn our attention inside and take a look?"

"Your behavior...is it spying?"

"Nonsense, I just wanted to gather some information beforehand!" Bai Ye began to argue.

Just when Byakuya thought that Yukari Yakumo would seize this opportunity to ridicule him, he saw the face so close to his suddenly smile: "This suggestion is exactly what we wanted."

Then the scene that appeared in the gap began to change. The "camera" went from the entrance of the Scarlet Devil Mansion along the road into the main hall and saw Remilia sitting upright in the center of the hall, dressed in gorgeous noble attire.

From this angle, the young lady has quite a presence when she gets serious; to use an idiom, one might describe her as exuding majesty.

"Wow, it's so lively outside, why hasn't anyone come in yet?"

Just like handsomeness lasts only three seconds, so too can authority not last more than three minutes.

Just as Yukari Yakumo was about to open the gap further inside, Remilia, who was sitting in a chair, suddenly looked around and started swinging her legs back and forth.

"..." x3

Apart from the expressionless Kazami Yuuka, the other two were speechless.

"Let's change the scene. At least I still have a vague impression of her when she was at her most imposing. If I keep watching, I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing the next time I see her." Under Yukari Yakumo's wary gaze, Byakuya nudged her shoulder.

"also."

Seeing that Yuuka Kazami wasn't in much interest, Yukari Yakumo created a separate portal for her to lock onto Marisa in real time, while she and Byakuya joined together to begin their remote exploration of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

After exploring all the rooms above ground, Yukari Yakumo manipulated the gap to descend along the passageway in the basement.
