"Longinus?"
As expected, when it comes to killing gods, the most famous weapon is still this spear stained with holy blood.
Chapter 051 The Startled Big Fox
As a pragmatist, Bai Ye believes in doing things as they come up with them, and the profession of Godslayer sounds really good.
Although after returning to the Dimensional Shop, there certainly wouldn't be any more of the Demon King's privileges that Luo Hao mentioned, which even Bai Ye found somewhat exaggerated—after all, even Luo Hao, one of the top Godslayers, was beaten up in Gensokyo…
But that doesn't stop Bai Ye from bringing back a whole body of cursed power and authority!
"System, since Luo Hao's powers can still be used in this world, if we put ourselves in his shoes, can't I also..."
"Sure." The system's reply pleased Bai Ye: "There may be differences in the laws between different worlds, which could mean that one's strength cannot be fully utilized in another world. However, as the manager of the Dimensional Shop that spans countless dimensions, you don't need to worry about these issues. In terms of the perfection of the laws, no world can surpass the Dimensional Shop."
"Hmm~ This feels so good."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Bai Ye walked out of the store happily, glancing up at the sky amidst the stares of several passersby who thought he was crazy.
"Based on my understanding of the sage-like monsters, there should still be someone here watching me, right?"
"shock!"
Lost in her ways, she stole dishes while washing them... Yakumo Ran, who was observing, said she was so frightened that she broke the plate in her hand in two.
"Hmm... since you're not saying anything, I'll assume you are. Could you help me contact the Sage of Yokai? I need her help with something. Of course, it's okay if you don't."
"I'll go find Lord Zi right away, please be sure to stay calm!"
After adopting the mindset of a youkai, Yakumo Ran immediately imagined a two-and-a-half-hour movie about Byakuya's personality changing drastically due to being ignored by Lady Yukari, or even destroying Gensokyo. She quickly increased her youkai power output and created an opening to appear in front of Byakuya.
"Well... that's troublesome."
After watching the beast-eared girl say something to him, she hurriedly swung her large, fluffy tail and ran into the gap. Bai Ye remained silent for two seconds.
He was just saying that if Yukari Yakumo wasn't available, he would find another way.
After all, if it's just a relic that can summon gods, then the world of Qin Shi Huang and Aiwass seems pretty plausible. Similarly, the same goes for a weapon that can kill gods.
That said, could Jeanne Alter's flag really kill those disobedient gods from another world?
……
In the underworld, in the master bedroom of a building surrounded by countless cherry trees, two women, both dressed only in thin pajamas, were playing.
A blonde woman would occasionally feed another pink-haired woman, who accepted it without hesitation.
While the pink-haired woman refused the food, the blonde woman's hands also became restless, roaming over the pink-haired girl's body.
The room was filled with seductive music, which inexplicably irritated the girl who was practicing swordsmanship outside in the courtyard...
Suddenly, a dark crack with two sections tied with pink ribbons opened in the courtyard, and a... a flustered ball of fur rushed out. Before the girl in the courtyard could react, it grabbed her and pulled her in. The two rolled forward together until they crashed into the outer wall of the courtyard and came to a stop.
"Miss Lan?"
"It's Youmu." Yakumo Ran stood up, straightened her clothes, and then helped the silver-haired girl who had been knocked down to her feet. "Where is Lady Yukari? I need to speak with her urgently!"
"The Sage of Yokai instructed that if it's because of those little bats by the Lake of Mist, you should use a trick to lure them to the Sunflower Field or Eientei, and someone will take care of them then."
"No, I've been keeping an eye on those vampires. They're still absorbing the power of the nearby monsters, and it seems like they're preparing to make a big move. But now, it seems like another guy who's many times more dangerous than them is also up to something."
“Danger, how dangerous?” Youmu Konpaku tightened her grip on the Louguan Sword and the Baiguan Sword: “My Life Dual Sword Style has reached a bottleneck, and I need an opponent who can put pressure on me.”
"Hmm... I watched him and that tyrant from the flower field go toe-to-toe for hours."
Konpaku Youmu: "..."
You big fox...you did this on purpose, didn't you?
"Both the Sage of Youkai and Lady Yuyuko are in Lady Yuyuko's master bedroom, barring any unforeseen circumstances..."
"..." x2
Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku, who knew exactly what kind of people their masters were, were both speechless.
"No, even if Lady Murasaki and the other woman are at a critical moment, I must go in and wake Lady Murasaki. The Hakurei Shrine Maidens haven't matured yet. If a powerhouse of the Flower Tyrant level goes out of control, Gensokyo absolutely cannot afford it right now!"
Gritting her teeth, Yakumo Ran flicked her nine tails and walked towards the master bedroom of Hakugyokurou with the imposing air of "The wind howls and the Yi River is cold".
Before she even reached the door, the sounds of Yakumo Yukari and Saigyouji Yuyuko playfully teasing each other reached her ears.
Emmmmmm……
"Lan, what are you doing out there? Didn't we tell you to keep a close eye on that uncontrollable factor in the Human Village?"
In the end, Yakumo Ran still didn't say it.
In fact, through the connection between the shikigami and its master, Yakumo Yukari had already sensed Yakumo Ran's arrival the moment she appeared in the courtyard of Hakugyokurou. She just didn't expect her to be so oblivious this time, coming to disturb her and Yuyuko when they were having a great time.
"You'd better have a plausible excuse, otherwise..."
With that in mind, Yukari Yakumo asked the question above.
And then Yakumo Ran didn't disappoint her.
Chapter 052 Yukari Yakumo, weary from the heart
"Coco, it's Lady Zi! The uncertain factor you asked me to keep an eye on has encountered an unexpected problem!"
Hearing Lan speak in a seemingly genuinely flustered tone, Yukari Yakumo inside the room was also taken aback for a moment. After a brief rustling sound, her voice rang out again.
"Come in and talk."
"Yes."
A soft reply came through, and Yakumo Ran pulled open the shoji door and went inside. What she saw was Yakumo Yukari and her friend, their bodies almost completely exposed, getting dressed...
Wait, if you're not wearing clothes, what was that rustling sound you were making just now?
"blue?"
"Huh? Uh, uh..."
"What are you staring at? We're asking you what happened. Tell us the whole story in detail from beginning to end!"
"Yes. This all started a few hours ago. A few hours ago, a woman dressed in Hanfu came out of the door you specifically asked me to keep an eye on. After a brief conversation with Manager Bai, she left the Human Village and went straight to the Sunflower Field..."
It must be said that Lan's intelligence is still online. Although she was still thinking about the untold story between Yakumo Yukari and Yuyuko, she still narrated the events in a clear and organized manner, making the three listeners feel as if they had witnessed the whole thing firsthand.
"So... so many things have happened in the half-day we've been at Baiyulou?!"
After listening to Yakumo Ran's story, Yakumo Yukari felt a rare headache coming on.
Even after plowing up the entire sunflower field, Youxiang still knew to hold back?
And as expected, Bai Ye was still involved... I knew he had a problem too!
But why specifically ask to see me by name?
"He didn't say why he contacted us."
Yakumo Ran looked embarrassed: "I think I forgot to ask."
Yukari Yakumo: "..."
"Alright, since you've already ruined our good time, let's just go see this little shopkeeper first, and while we're at it, take some time to deal with those little bats... Is he still in the human world?"
"Uh, who?"
"Who else could it be but Manager Bai? Do you really think there's another person in the Human Village who deserves our attention?"
"Yes, after telling me that he wanted to see you, he went back to the shop."
"I see..." Yakumo Yukari nodded, opened a gap, and went inside.
Looking at the scene on the other side of the gap, it is the village of the human world.
After Yakumo Yukari left, Yakumo Ran, as a shikigami, naturally wanted to follow, but found herself being held back by a small hand.
"Lord Youyouzi?"
"Blue~ I remember that as Purple's shikigami, you can also use her gap, right?" Yuyuko looked at the big fox with sparkling eyes.
Yakumo Lan nodded.
"That's right! Quickly take me to the Human Village, but remember not to let Youmu find us~"
"Lady Yuyuko!" The gardener, feeling rejected by her master, was currently wearing this expression →QAQ
"Alright, alright, just kidding, why are you so excited?" Yuyuko waved her hand. "But before we take you along, we have to make a three-point agreement. Once we're in the Human Village, you're not allowed to interfere with our actions too much. Also, you're not allowed to..."
……
Dimensional Shop.
Just as Bai Ye sat down behind the counter, he saw a signature gap open at the store entrance, and a familiar figure walked out from inside.
"So efficient?"
"If I remember correctly, just a few days ago, I asked you to confirm whether the recent anomalies in Gensokyo were related to you..." Yakumo Yukari's narrowed eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent.
"It has nothing to do with me. I wanted to ask you for help with my own problem."
"Oh?" Yakumo Yukari tilted her head. "Tell me about it."
"I've always felt that with your spatial abilities, there shouldn't be anywhere in the world that can stop you. In other words, the world shouldn't hold many secrets for you." Byakuya looked at Yakumo Yukari with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "In that case, do you know the whereabouts of Longinus or anything with similar effects?"
Yakumo Yukari's hand trembled, and she almost lost her grip on the fan.
"Longinus, the Holy Lance that is famous in history and stained with the blood of Jesus Christ?"
"Yeah."
"What do you want to do? There aren't many powerful gods in Gensokyo!"
"Hmm... I didn't say I was in Gensokyo. It's just that I've been thinking about expanding my business in other worlds lately, and when I was packing, I realized that my preparations might not be enough..."
Chapter 053 A Visit to the Scarlet Devil Mansion
Other worlds... Expanding business?
"From what you're saying... is there a lot of gods in the world we're about to go to?"
"Um……"
The term "disobedient gods" is just what humans call them. To be honest, those guys are essentially gods, aren't they?
"I'm afraid I really can't help you with this." After confirming that Byakuya didn't intend to cause trouble in Gensokyo, Yukari Yakumo shook her head regretfully while letting out a sigh of relief: "In recent years, I've been busy with things related to Gensokyo and haven't paid much attention to other things."
"What a pity." Bai Ye shook his head.
"Perhaps...not necessarily?"
"How to say?"
"Do you remember that mansion we told you about?" Yukari Yakumo pointed in the direction of Lake Misty: "The owner of that mansion was quite powerful in the West before he entered Gensokyo. If it's Longinus, you can go and ask him."
It would be even better if a fight broke out!
With some dark thoughts in her mind, Yakumo Yukari waved goodbye to Byakuya, opened the gap, and went inside.
……
The Western-style mansion by the misty lake?
It seems that Sakuya lives in that place, right?
After Yakumo Yukari left, Byakuya thought for a moment, closed the shop door, and led Jeanne Alter towards the Lake of Mist.
As one of the few in the Human Village who can truly accept the abnormality, Byakuya and Sakuya have a pretty good relationship; at least they're the type who can chat for a while when they run into each other.
I just don't know if the owner of that mansion is easy to get along with.
As soon as they arrived at the shore of Lake Mist, a Western-style mansion appeared before them, one they had glimpsed once before through the gap in Yukari Yakumo's eyes.
"It feels strange, it doesn't seem like a good place." After staring at the mansion for a while, Black Jeanne made a comment.
"After all, vampires live inside. If this place were filled with holy light, that would be a problem, wouldn't it?" Bai Ye chuckled and patted Black Jeanne's shoulder. "Let's go take a look together."
"Mmm." Jeanne Alter nodded obediently.
The mansion's doors were wide open, but before they could even reach them, a young girl in a cheongsam with two braids in front of her jumped out.
