Chapter 22: The Arrival of Yakumo Purple
After going out of the underworld, Fujiwara Ki and Youmu have been on the road, and in one day's time, they came to a place half the way from the world, and Fujiwara Ki was overdrawn in Youmeng's expected body, so they found a random cave in the forest to rest after passing through the Lake of Mist.
The forest at night has a hazy mist, and the light gauze smoke makes the scenery in the forest a little blurred, making people a little uneasy.
Although Fujiwara's muscles were already sore after a day of fatigue, and it was difficult to hold things, he saw that Youmu was skillfully picking food around, setting traps, collecting firewood, and taking care of everything, and he was quite embarrassed to do it himself, so he went up to help together.
"Fujiwara, you better go and rest, I'll be enough for me here. Youmeng saw that Fujiwara Ki's hand holding the firewood was trembling, so he took it and put it at the entrance of the cave, "Don't force yourself, the exercise during the day has long been exhausted, and you should have a good rest at night, so that the combination of work and rest will not damage the body." ”
"Alas. Fujiwara Ki watched Youmu put the firewood and went to make a few branches into spiky spears, but he could only watch, he couldn't help sighing, leaning on a stone at the entrance of the cave and closing his eyes to recuperate, Youmu didn't notice Fujiwara Ki's mood for the time being, and he was busy there.
Nearly half an hour later, Youmeng packed up Yiqiē and came to the entrance of the cave, but found that Fujiwara was already asleep, so he gently shook him awake.
"Fujiwara, Fujiwara, don't sleep here, wake up, you're going to catch a cold. Youmeng shook Fujiwara Ki a few times, but the day's exercise had exhausted him, and once he rested, he soon fell into a deep sleep, no matter how Youmeng shook it, he couldn't wake up, and there was no way but to carry him into the cave and put him on the straw mat.
Walking out of the hole, Youmeng looked at the sky, now the moon has just risen, the time is still very early, according to his own schedule, I'm afraid it will take several hours to rest, once idle, Youmeng suddenly found that he didn't seem to have anything to do.
A little bored to look at the surrounding scenery, after a few glances, found that there was nothing interesting, Youmeng simply decided to practice swordsmanship to pass the time.
After adding some firewood to the bonfire, Youmeng put the Louguan Sword and the Bailou Sword on his lap, closed his eyes and meditated.
The fog in the forest at night gradually deepened, and the dark depths of the darkness became darker in the mist, and the deep darkness swallowed the surrounding light like a giant mouth.
The moon gradually rises, and in the quiet natural environment, time seems to have stopped, and everything around it has faded in color, and movement and stillness are only a thought.
"Crackling. "The burning bonfire emitted a spark, and the red coals of the stars burst out of the flames and splashed on the ground, emitting a trace of green smoke.
The clear moonlight slanted on Youmeng's body, and the milky white light covered her fair skin with a faint halo, hazy from a distance, like a beautiful jade.
The relaxed demon dream has no sharpness when she was serious, and at this time she is really like a girl, exuding a weak and sweet atmosphere, and the beautiful cheeks hidden under the short hair are also pure and lovely, but unfortunately Fujiwara Ki, who has fallen asleep, can't see it.
After a brief rattling of the wind, the woods fell silent, and even the insects were silent, and the vast woods were silent, and the surrounding was quiet and terrible.
It's quieter around.
With his eyes closed, Yumu held the two swords in his hands, stood up, and looked into the depths of the jungle in front of him.
Behind the silent bushes, the three figures gradually appeared from the darkness, and the owner of the figure did not hide his existence, so soon Youmeng could tell who it was.
"Lord Yakumo-sama. Youmu saw Yakumo Purple, who hadn't appeared for a long time, and greeted politely.
"Well, it's a demon dream. Yakumo Zi also looked at Youmeng and responded with a smile.
"What is Yakumo-sama doing here?" Youmeng pinned the scabbard to her waist, but her hand did not leave the hilt, and her eyes kept looking at the three people in front of her. Because she saw that Yakumo Blue and her Shikijin Yakumo Orange's face was a little wrong, as if the person who came was not good.
"Hmm, Youmeng, you don't have to be nervous, I'm just here to talk to that human Fujiwara Ki. Yakumo Zi smiled and explained to Youmeng, "In my hibernation, well, it should be spring hibernation, well, in the days of my spring hibernation, the Xixing Temple family suddenly joined a human being, and I haven't officially known him yet." ”
Youmeng took a breath, clenched his sword and said slowly, "If it's just to get to know each other, then why do you have to meet him after leaving Bai Yulou? ”
"Youmeng, your mind is also turning quickly. The smile on Yakumo's face widened a little, and the smile made it impossible to figure out what she was thinking. Youmu can only be careful to guard against Yakumo Purple's methods, trying to avoid angering her.
"Lord Zi, Lord Youyouzi has accepted him, and I also think that his character is not bad, and Bai Yulou has accepted his identity. ”
"Do you think so even so?" Yakumo Zi's expression gradually cooled down and became extremely dangerous, and Yume's two swords were immediately unsheathed and protected in front of him.
"I don't know what the reason is, but in my opinion, it should be stopped from harming Fujiwara for no reason. Even in the face of the unfathomable monster sage Yakumo Purple, Youmeng still didn't have a desperate expression, staring at the three people in front of him seriously, and his momentum did not drop at all.
Even at night, Yakumo Purple still carried her purple parasol, and when she heard that Youmu was going to protect Fujiwara Ki, Yakumo Purple had no expression on her face, but the parasol in her hand was gently turning, and the simple lace pendant on it swayed back and forth with the rotation of the parasol, rising and falling regularly.
Both sides looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Suddenly, Yakumo Zi chuckled, and the pressure around Yumu suddenly disappeared.
"Actually, I've already met Yuyuko. Ignoring the orange cat's struggles, Yakumo Zi picked up her soft body, "But since you think so too, let's consider it a member of the White Jade Building." ”
"Whew, thank you, Lord Purple. "Since Yakumo Murasaki said such a thing, with her identity as a monster sage, she naturally won't lie, so Fujiwara's safety doesn't need to be considered for the time being. Youmu put away her sword and relaxed.
"Why did Lord Yakumo Purple appear here at night?" Youmeng asked strangely, holding his sword on the ground.
"It's not far from the lost house, why can't you be here? Yakumo Zi tilted his head and looked at Youmeng with a smile, "Let me see, it seems to be written in the last issue of the newspaper that a man appeared in the White Jade Building, and it is suspected that you and Youyouzi are the men who are raised." ”
"We are obviously in a normal relationship, why is there such a report? "Youmeng is a little angry, Yuyuko-sama's reputation can't be ruined by Wenwen's unscrupulous reporter.
Seeing Youmeng's distressed expression, Yakumo Zi smiled with satisfaction: "In short, let that man keep to himself, if there is any betrayal in the future, I will not show mercy." ”
"Okay, Purple-sama. ”
"Hmm, I forgot to say, Reimeng is finally going to hold a banquet, I was invited to participate, Bai Yulou seems to have been invited, I am looking forward to meeting that little guy at the banquet." Yakumo glanced into the hole, then looked into Yume's eyes.
"Let's go. After staring at each other for a long time, Yakumo Purple left with Orange and Yakumo Blue in her arms.
Youmeng watched their departing backs from a distance, without any move, but in his heart he was guessing the intention of Lord Zi to appear this time.
After Yakumo Zi's figure disappeared completely, Youmeng, who was holding the sword, almost sat on the ground, panting in fear, "Woo, I'm scared to death, if Lord Zi gets serious, I won't be able to stop it." ”
When Youmu was still regretting his recklessness, Fujiwara Ki didn't know when, he had woken up, and when he walked out of the cave, Youmu only saw the calm and terrible on his face.
Fujiwara Kiki walked up to Youmu and said quietly: "Youmeng, I want to become stronger, I can't shrink behind you and Yuyuko-sama anymore, but I should stand in front like a man." ”
"You heard it all. Hearing Fujiwara's words, Youmeng was stunned for a few seconds, then understood his mood, and said seriously: "Becoming stronger is not a matter of one or two days, and you can't be in a hurry, no matter how hard you try, I and Yuyuko-sama don't need you to protect ......"
Speaking of this, Youmeng's words suddenly stopped, lowered her head and became silent, Fujiwara Ki looked at her strangely, and after a while, Youmeng suddenly said with a wry smile: "It turns out that Yuyuko-sama also thinks so." ”
As if having been hit, Youmeng sat by the campfire, holding her sword and curling into a ball, and her companion spirit mochi also curled up, showing a depressed mood.
This time, seeing that the demon dream that was trying to persuade him suddenly became weak, Fujiwara Ki began to square: "Hey, demon dream, what's wrong with you!"
