17 The Seekers of the Truth
It's rude to think so, but ...... Could it be that Yuyuko-sama actually cares about me?
Walking in the lost bamboo forest, the demon dream suddenly thought of this.
Indeed, she asked the half-spirit girl to ask Feili for advice, probably so that the troubles of the demon dream would be eliminated as soon as possible. That's right.
However, for Youmeng, this reasonable explanation is tantamount to detonating a bombshell in her heart.
For a long time, the image of Yuyuko in Saigyoji Temple has been lazy in her heart, gluttony, likes to pretend to be stupid and cute, and likes to play pranks to have fun for herself when she has nothing to do (Youmeng is often the victim), most of them are ...... It can't be said to be a negative impression, but it must be a non-positive impression.
But now it seems that this undead princess also has a sympathetic side to her subordinates.
-- Youmeng couldn't help but feel ashamed. It's like seeing a ** teenager feeding stray cats, and she is ashamed of her ignorance. It has been more than 30 years since he came to the world, but he has always looked at his master with colored eyes, and he is too shallow.
"Good! I'm going to fix this quickly, and then I'll go back and cook for Yuyuko-sama right away."
For a moment, the girl was full of energy. And her half-spirit seemed to be infected by this emotion, and began to wander around her excitedly.
β¦β¦ But this emotion did not last long, and was consumed by the cold reality.
The Lost Bamboo Forest, which is shrouded in mist all year round, is equivalent to the existence of a natural labyrinth. If you want to go to the Eternal Pavilion in the depths of the bamboo forest, you can't reach it in a while.
If you take out the double swords pinned to your waist and cut down this bamboo forest, you can reach it quickly, but then doing so is tantamount to declaring war on the other side. Youmeng wouldn't do such a stupid act.
Then there aren't many options left for her.
Shouted out directly and let the people of the Eternal Pavilion hear their intentions. Someone must have come to pick him up...... Should.
Although it sounds a little unreliable, it is still a method, and it is better than turning around in the bamboo forest without direction.
Closing his eyes, the demon dream made the dantian qi overflow. To make the cry loud, you have to have a good breath.
"Hoo ......"
"Hey! What do you do?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Just as Youmeng opened her mouth to shout, a hand suddenly appeared from behind her and slapped her shoulder heavily, completely disrupting her breathing rhythm.
I have to say that no matter whether the person behind her did it deliberately or not, this time was really just right.
The fair-skinned face turned red because of the fork, the corners of the eyes also burst into tears because of the cough, and the usually straight back was bent down, in short, the current demon dream looks quite embarrassed.
It took a while for her breath to calm down completely, and Youmeng had more than enough time to look at the guy who had embarrassed her.
Come, unexpectedly young.
Youmeng's own appearance is that of a petite girl, at most fourteen or fifteen years old. The half-human, half-spirit physique brought her more time than the inspiration that was superior to ordinary people. Youmeng, who is actually in her thirties, still hasn't left any traces on her.
However, the person who came looked smaller than her in appearance.
"You guy...... What are you here for?"
The tone and wording are quite harsh. But, regrettably, her appearance obliterates all this---even if a little girl no more than twelve years old tries to speak to people in a terrible tone, I am afraid that not many people will take her seriously.
However, it is not possible to generalize. At least, the average little girl doesn't have an extra pair of white rabbit ears on her head.
It's just that...... Youmeng still thinks this scene is funny in his heart. But out of politeness, she didn't show this feeling on her face.
"What are you thinking? Don't use your appearance to spy on the inside, I'm much bigger than you."
The rabbit girl cast a cold gaze on the demon dream, and was swept by this gaze, and the demon dream suddenly had a feeling of being seen through.
That's really not the kind of gaze that young people can have...... Indeed, judging a person's age by their physical appearance in Gensokyo is the most foolish thing to do - this is a well-established iron rule.
"Did you understand your mistake? β¦β¦ The little girl of the soul family. Your grandfather is much better than you in this regard."
The half-human, half-spirit physique is only a soul in Gensokyo, so it's not particularly surprising that it's recognized. However, hearing the existence of grandpa from the other party's mouth made the spirit of Youmeng shocked.
"It was indeed my mistake to judge the inside from the outside. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Demon Dream's sincere apology made the rabbit girl nod with satisfaction, for Demon Dream, since the other party is someone who knows her grandfather, then she can undoubtedly be regarded as an elder.
In fact, the demon dream is not forgetting the unwritten rules in Gensokyo, she is just amused because of the difference in the behavior and appearance of the rabbit demon in front of her...... Even now, it hasn't changed.
"Good...... The people of the soul family are so upright, this can be regarded as family inheritance. So, what did you come to the Lost Bamboo Forest for?"
The tone of the rabbit-eared girl has no longer been cold just now, but has changed to a liveliness that matches her appearance.
"That's right! My name is Emperor Inba, and you are ......."
Her mood changed so quickly, and her personality was so distinct that she didn't look like a monster, but a goblin.
However, this does not affect the interaction between the two.
"Soul Demon Nightmare. It's a very abrupt visit, but I have something I want to ask Mr. Fei Li for advice."
"Looking for Lady Feili? Just follow me. LetβsgoοΌγ
The rabbit youkai who is enthusiastic about being a passer-by motions for Yumu to follow.
ββββBeing able to meet Emperor Inaba can be regarded as the luck of the demon dream. Because this rabbit is originally a youkai that can bring luck to people, but then again......
If you want to meet God, you need a lot of luck. It seems that everything is also because of the character of Youmeng, which is already good. When it comes to character, she is much better than her own master and her master's friends.

""A series of burglaries in the middle of summer successfully captured crime scene photos"...... This girl is still too tender, and if she wants to change to her master, Wen, that guy can't even take out the camera."
Browsing through the fastest tengu's "Wenwen News", someone let out a sigh that I don't know what to do.
From the warriors who used to inspire the world, to the unemployed vagrants who can only browse newspapers with nothing to do, this man has no sense of disparity. I don't know what to say about him.
Today is probably another day of peace.
Fei Li beat the heart of the heart to think so.
He didn't hate this boring routine, even if it had passed hundreds of thousands of times, and besides, it was about to become a luxuryβnot just for him, but for the whole world.
In the not-so-distant future, people will miss the ordinary. Fei Li is convinced of this. But that's for the future, and for now, he just wants to continue to spend his free time.
What to do after reading the newspaper?
Although he hadn't actually finished reading the newspaper yet, he was already thinking about how to spend his time next.
Playing games with Kaguya? Go to the Grim Reaper for a drink? Wandering among the people? If you can't, going to Lunasa's concert is also an option.
In fact, he didn't need to waste his mind thinking about it, because he already had the option to pass the time.
"Lady Feili."
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Reizen's sudden appearance made Fei Li can't help but take his attention away from the black and white words in the newspaper.
"Soul Demon Dream came to you, saying that there was something to ask."
"Soul Demon Nightmare? It's the granddaughter of the jealousy."
It was a name that was somewhere between familiar and unfamiliar, and after recalling it carefully, Fei Li remembered the girl who served next to the Xixing Temple at the banquet after the red mist mutation.
"Did she say anything?"
"Nope. If you don't want to see her, then I--"
"Not at all. It's good to pass the time, and it just so happens that I'm bored. Where is she now? Reception room?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, he patted Reizen's shoulder affectionately.
"Thanks."
After this unnecessary thank-you, he walked straight to the reception room.
To be honest, he was not familiar with Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple at all.
As Yakumo Zi's friend, the relationship between Yuyuko and him in Saihang Temple is actually only cold and not hostile, in fact, a little light is enough to surprise Feili.
But even so, Feili still doesn't like Yuyuko in Xixing Temple.
What he likes is the kind of hearty, heroic guy, just like the kind of monster of the ghost clan -- but because of some things in the past, the ghost clan should have a deep hatred for him, and he has never regretted his actions, so it is naturally impossible to pull down his face and have a good relationship with the other party.
But that doesn't mean he has to like the kind of Yuyuko in Xixing Temple...... Elusive woman.
Yakumo Purple is also a guy who gives an unfathomable impression, but Fei Li actually thinks she is easy to judge because she always has malice.
When a person's intentions have been judged, no matter how strange his actions are, they are not traceless.
And the Seshigo Temple Yuyuko......
Although Fei Li didn't want to admit it, in a way, she was a more terrifying guy than Yakumo Murasaki.
Great wisdom and foolishness can be used to describe the Yuyuko of Xixing Temple, but it does not stop there.
It is said that people are divided into groups by clusters, and Fei Li believes that this view is not applicable at all times.
Compared with the unfathomable master, the half-spirit swordsman who serves the undead princess is much easier to ponder...... It's just to the point where it can be described as pure and good.
For a true martial artist, it is useless to put so much thought into it.
So...... What kind of person is Soul Demon Dream?
Thinking back to his performance at that banquet, Fei Li was sure of at least one thing.
Soul Demon Dream, like her grandfather, is a hard-working child who has been brushed by the Yuyuko of Xixing Temple.
