"Natsume, you brat, you almost scared me to death just now... Do you know how terrifying this man in front of you is?!"
[Happiness percentage +10%]
Ban was almost scared into a stress reaction by Li Yang.
Since Natsume and the other two are all human, they not only do not feel uncomfortable being near Li Yang, but actually feel quite comfortable.
However, although Madara is a spirit beast that evolved from a demon, he is full of spiritual energy, but his demonic nature is still there.
When I got close to Li Yang, I felt a sense of fear, like a moth drawn to a flame!
Li Yang looked at Natsume Takashi again.
"Natsume, you possess a very strong demonic power within you. Train diligently and make good use of this power; you may achieve great things in the future!"
Say it.
Li Yang took out his phone and exchanged contact information with Natsume.
Seiji Matoba and Shuichi Natori, standing to the side, looked at Takashi Natsume with envy.
I never expected that Natsume would win Mr. Li Yang's favor!
of course.
Li Yang did not show favoritism and exchanged contact information with Matoba Seiji and Natori Shuichi.
Subsequently.
The four parted ways.
Seiji Madoka and Shuichi Natori also had to work through the night to make some arrangements at the exam venue to prevent ghosts or monsters from causing trouble or harming the students.
Li Yang walked alone towards the mountaintop, weaving through the dense forest. The lights on both sides of the boardwalk did not fully illuminate the darkness, and rustling sounds could be heard from time to time in the darkness.
When Li Yang arrived at the pavilion on the mountaintop, he found that there were already people there.
The other person was an old man, sitting cross-legged on a futon, with a square table in front of him, on which was a pot full of various ingredients for sukiyaki.
at this time.
As Li Yang arrived, the casserole was boiling, and various ingredients were soaking in the scalding broth, making bubbling sounds.
When Li Yang saw the old man, he was stunned because the man's head was very distinctive, with an unusually long back of his head, unlike that of an ordinary person, more like an alien.
However, the old man's true identity is a monster!
"Nura Sakura?"
Li Yang never expected that the world would have a storyline based on the anime "Nurarihyon no Mago".
A hint of surprise flashed across the old man's face. "Does Lord Li Yang know me?"
"The lord of all Japanese demons and monsters, the founder of the Nura Clan, who commands over ten thousand yokai, and the supreme commander of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) four hundred years ago, is the strongest yokai in Japan!"
[Happiness percentage +1%]
Nurarihyon was surprised that Li Yang knew so much about him, but he remained calm and simply smiled.
"I am no longer worthy of the title 'Japan's strongest monster'!"
He subconsciously touched the area around his heart.
Li Yang understood. Nurarihyon's heart was stolen by Hagoromo Gitsune four hundred years ago, which not only greatly reduced his strength but also shortened his lifespan.
That's why he looks so old and frail!
"So, all the youkai that Totsuki Academy invited to participate in the first-year cooking skills assessment were members of the Nura Clan?"
That's a great option.
Under Nurarihyon's influence, the yokai of the Nura Clan, while not particularly fond of humans, also do not indiscriminately kill them.
After all, Nurarihyon, the supreme commander of the Nura Clan, married a human princess.
The second-generation Captain-General Nura Banko's second wife was also a human!
And now.
The third generation Nura Rikuo has lived and gone to school as a human being, just like an ordinary person.
Nurarihyon nodded with a smile in response to Li Yang's question.
"Yes, after all, opportunities to eat and drink for free, and to eat your fill, are rare!"
Li Yang suddenly remembered Nurarihyon's quirk: he liked to freeload.
The legendary Nurarihyon in Japan sneaks into people's homes without a sound during busy evenings, leisurely enjoying tea as if it were his own.
When the owner sees this, they will mistakenly think that he is the owner of the house, and will not only not kick him out, but will also treat him warmly.
Nurarihyon possesses this legendary characteristic.
My favorite thing is to use my special move, "True Mirror Still Water (Invisibility Technique)," to dine and dash at restaurants!
anyway.
Nurarihyon's "Mirror Still Water" and Aizen's "Mirror Flower Water Moon" are similar in concept!
even.
Nurarihyon's mastery of "fear" is nothing but a mirage!
This is the true nature of Nurarihyon!
The so-called "fear" is the core setting of the "Nurarihyon no Mago" anime regarding the abilities of yokai.
It refers to using one's own qualities to instill fear or awe in a target, thereby enhancing one's own strength!
Different monsters exhibit different forms of "fear", including their shape, range of influence, and method of application.
When the opponent's "fear" is broken (i.e., "fear is broken"), the caster will fall into a disadvantage due to inner turmoil.
Nurarihyon invited Li Yang to sit down.
"I've known Senzaemon Nakiri for a long time. After all, I've lived a peaceful life for too long, and my only hobby is enjoying delicious food!"
"Looking across the whole of Japan, Senzaemon Nakiri's culinary skills are the best, so I often come to him to taste his food, and he always treats me to a warm welcome."
"Only the food he cooks can make me feel truly happy!"
Li Yang smiled. "So, you're the one who discovered that cooking can soothe the irritable hearts and nature of demons?"
Nurarihyon nodded. "Yes, isn't that amazing?"
"It's just an ordinary dish, but the smoky flavor it contains can actually calm the evil nature of the monsters. It's really amazing!"
Li Yang smiled slightly, "The warmth of everyday life is what truly comforts the human heart!"
Even if a demon possesses power far exceeding that of a human, as long as it has not transcended, it is still considered a mortal!
Nurarihyon clapped her hands excitedly, as if she had met a like-minded friend, "That's right, that's it!"
"The warmth of everyday life is what truly comforts the human heart... This is such a wonderful saying! I must ask a calligraphy master to write it down and hang it in the most prominent place in my home!"
The two of them finished off the entire pot of sukiyaki.
period.
Li Yang didn't ask if Nurarihyon was waiting for him there beforehand, and the other party didn't mention anything other than the food.
It seemed like just a chance encounter.
then.
The two left the pavilion separately.
Li Yang went straight back to his hotel room, washed up, and lay on the bed, recalling his conversation with Nurarihyon.
Although the other party did not mention anything unrelated to food, their words revealed some information.
For example, Nurarihyon says that there is a certain delicacy in a certain place that can no longer be eaten because a very powerful guy came and slaughtered the entire village.
For example, his grandson Rikuo Nura also loves food. Although he is still young, he is kind and honest.
Li Yang also couldn't understand: what necessary connection is there between liking food and being kind-hearted?
but.
He did manage to guess Nurarihyon's thoughts.
The other party is worried about the future of the Nura Clan, the number one yokai organization in Japan!
Nurarihyon himself was greatly weakened due to the loss of his heart, while the third Nurarihyon only had one percent of yokai blood. Even if he occasionally showed the form of the Nurarihyon demon, no one knew what level of strength he could reach.
As the dark and turbulent era of Japan descends, the Nura Clan will face even more crises in the future, and a slight misstep could lead to their annihilation!
and so.
Nura Nurarihyon wants to find a powerful backer, a strong backer who can protect the entire Nura Clan!
"It's truly a case of 'the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease!'"
Li Yang never expected that he would become such a sought-after person in Japan, with everyone wanting to get close to him and share in his charm.
Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.
Li Yang thought it was Shirley Yang, but when he pushed the door open, he saw Hu Yifei standing prettily outside in a cool nightgown!
P.S.: Thank you to the four great contributors [Minghou, Junqingfeng, Yuanmingze, and 《Hai》@《Hun》] for their monthly tickets!
Chapter 130 Fierce Battle with Hu Yifei! Guan Gu's Strange Cousin! A Chaotic Dance of Demons!
"Yifei, what brings you here?"
Li Yang didn't expect that Hu Yifei would be standing outside the door.
Hu Yifei rolled her eyes. "Then who did you think it was?"
As she spoke, she nudged Li Yang’s chest with her fingertips, urging him to retreat into the house, and then slipped inside herself.
After all, she was dressed rather lightly, wearing only a white silk nightgown with lace trim.
As soon as Hu Yifei entered the room, she stared intently at Li Yang, sniffing him all over.
Li Yang asked curiously, "What are you smelling?"
"Do you smell like a vixen?"
Li Yang smiled helplessly, "You didn't actually listen to Zi Qiao's nonsense, did you? You suspect I'm messing around in Japan?"
Hu Yifei pouted, "Who can say for sure? It's your fault for completely disappearing during your time in Japan. We all thought you were having too much fun to remember home."
Li Yang had no choice but to briefly recount his experience of transmigrating to the world of Death God.
Since the cast of Love Apartment had all been to the One Piece world, Li Yang didn't need to hide the fact that he could travel to another world.
Hu Yifei had no interest in the world of death; she just wanted to find a topic to chat about with Li Yang.
"You have demonic energy about you!"
Hu Yifei finally sensed something different on Liyang Mountain and frowned slightly.
"This demonic aura is very powerful; only a great demon could possess such an aura. However, there is also an aura of decay within it."
"Is this powerful demon injured? Or is it an old monster?"
Li Yang was taken aback. "You can smell that?"
Hu Yifei smiled smugly, "This is a little trick my fox demon sisters in Tushan taught me... Hmph, luckily I could smell it out, this big demon is male!"
"Otherwise, I would have thought that you abandoned us all and sneaked off to the back mountain because you were bewitched by a Japanese enchantress!"
Li Yang then briefly explained the situation regarding Nurarihyon and the Nura Clan.
Hu Yifei suddenly realized, "So that's why the great demon's heart was stolen, which is why its demonic aura has this decaying energy!"
"Heh, the cultivation methods of the Neon Demon Clan are all unorthodox, concentrating their demonic power in one or more organs of the body."
"Once the organ that stores demonic power is damaged, one's strength will inevitably plummet!"
"Unlike in our China, whether it is humans or demons, their cultivation methods are mostly based on gathering energy to form a core. When gathered, it becomes a core; when dispersed, it becomes energy."
"Even if some demons have their demon cores stolen, as long as their foundation remains intact, they can still recover!"
Hu Yifei was speaking, and Li Yang was listening, occasionally glancing at her gently.
