He spoke slowly after a moment.

"In my memory, the Dragon God wanted to reclaim Gensokyo, and I, the previous priestess, and several others joined forces to seal it. But after carefully studying this part of my memories..."

It was discovered that this memory was incomplete, missing a crucial, yet still vital, part.

"Missing?" Bai An raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, it's because of this part of the memory that we don't know the specific process of the sealing, or even the exact time of the sealing."

Yukari Yakumo paused, then continued:

"Based on our observations and speculations over this period of time, we can basically confirm that, in addition to the few people we remember, there was one more person who participated with us. This person is also the key to sealing the Dragon God."

"Oh? Who is it? They seem pretty awesome."

Bai An became interested, but Yakumo Yukari rolled her eyes at him and continued:

"We always say that memories are incomplete, and what's missing is the memory of this person. However, after our investigation, we found that the missing person has a close connection with your Youxiang."

Upon hearing what Yakumo Yukari said, Bai An's interest vanished instantly, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately deflated.

I hope someone won't beat me to my own unique fragrance.

"Who is that guy!" Seeing Bai An's grief-stricken expression, Yakumo Yukari's eyebrows twitched slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell the truth.

"This is the history we learned from the contingency plans we left behind back then. I guess Yuuka doesn't have any memories of this period now. Do you know what kind of yokai Yuuka was at the beginning?"

"Hmm... a flower fairy, I suppose."

Bai An thought for a moment and replied.

"Do you know how plant-type monsters differ from other monsters?"

Seeing Bai An shake his head, Yakumo Shizuka narrowed her purple eyes.

"It is rare for plants to develop sentience, let alone become demons. But once they become demons, they can cultivate very quickly due to their pure origin."

At this point, Yukari Yakumo paused for a moment.

"But because of this characteristic, neither other monsters nor humans will reject the energy in the plant monster's body."

"If it is refined into an elixir and then consumed, it could replace many years of intensive cultivation."

"This has created a situation where monsters, onmyoji, and even gods all covet these plant-type monsters."

"Yuuka's personality back then was completely different from now. When faced with people or demons who wanted to refine her into pills, she would not kill them, but simply defeat them."

Bai An was taken aback. It seemed too fake that Youxiang would let the other party go so easily and not turn them into fertilizer.

However, he quickly frowned, because in that era, such kindness was not a good thing.

"Therefore, for a long time, the Onmyoji and Yokai who were chasing him believed that Yuuka was afraid of their power, and the situation escalated."

In the end, Yuuka was severely injured by the combined efforts of several of the strongest Onmyoji at the time, and was eventually saved by an unknown deity.

I don't know much about what happened after that. I only know that five years later, Yuuka was besieged by the strongest Onmyoji families and several powerful demons at the time, and she was on the verge of death.

He showed up.

He single-handedly destroyed several of the strongest forces at the time with an almost overwhelming advantage.

After that night, the almost irreparable essence of the fragrance was restored, and the deity never appeared again.

Since then, Yuuka has changed. Her personality has become cold and tyrannical. When hunted, she never leaves anyone alive, and will even go so far as to eliminate any remaining enemies.

Yukari Yakumo gazed in the direction of the sunflower field.

"However, surprisingly, that god did not die. His last appearance was when he was sealing the Dragon God."

She was also puzzled as to why the contingency plan she had left behind only recorded the story of Yuuka and this missing person. However, she was certain that she and the others had a good relationship with that guy.

"Is this so?"

After hearing the whole story, Bai An remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a bitter laugh.

He knew without even thinking that it must have been some god who paid a great price to save Yuuka, seal the Dragon God, and save Gensokyo.

What a cliché and melodramatic plot...

But why is it that he feels unwilling to accept this?

This time, he clearly wanted to give his life for Yuuka, save Gensokyo, and become a savior to show off.

In the end, someone else beat them to it.

Bai An felt increasingly distressed, as if she had eaten a ton of lemons, her heart aching with a sour pain.

"What's that guy's name?!"

Bai An's entire demeanor had transformed into a tragic black-and-white painting, and his tone was filled with gritted teeth.

"I remember that god's name was Him, and he also had a title called the Salted Fish King."

As Yukari Yakumo spoke, she seemed to recall something and added, "Seriously, the last name sounds absurd to her. She even wondered if it was a mistake in her record of the contingency plan she had left behind."

"Him, Salted Fish King?"

Upon hearing the title, Bai An looked up in surprise. Wasn't this a god from the fanfiction in Minecraft?

Thinking of this, a bold guess arose in his mind: this was probably himself, and the name after it was his old online name.

Seeing Bai An fall silent, his eyes filled with existential doubt, Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but offer a word of comfort.

"Youxiang doesn't have that memory now, and even if she did, I believe she likes you more now."

Faced with Yakumo Yukari's words of comfort, Bai An first gave an awkward smile, then tentatively asked a question.

"Is it possible... that person is me?"

After he finished speaking, the air suddenly became quiet.

Yakumo Yukari stared blankly at Bai An, her eyes revealing deep surprise.

After a long silence, she took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice:

"are you serious?"

"Of course, I did have the idea of ​​the name 'him' a long time ago, as did Salty Fish King."

"Outrageous."

Yukari Yakumo took a deep breath and calmed herself down before uttering two words. Initially, based on Bai An's age, she subconsciously ruled him out.

But after Bai An said that, she also felt that the guy from a thousand years ago was him, and who knows, he might be his past life.

In contrast to Bai An, whose mood had brightened again, Yakumo Yukari fell into deep thought once more, a sense of guilt rising within her. If that were truly the case, then she had saved Gensokyo twice, and she owed far too much.

Presumably, once Yuuka learns the truth, she will definitely turn against him completely, and Reimu will most likely hate him to the core as well.

Thinking of this, Yakumo Yukari felt an even greater bitterness in her mouth, and the images of several friends floated into her mind.

perhaps...

She deserved it.

Bai An was unaware of what Yakumo Yukari was thinking. He was currently contemplating whether to hold an event, such as a surprise attack, followed by a banquet, to give everyone some New Year's gifts in advance, as the New Year was approaching.

He had inadvertently caused an anomaly before, but no banquet was held at the time, and not many people knew that it was because of him that the anomaly occurred.

Moreover, so much time has passed, it would be inappropriate to suddenly hold a banquet for that previous incident.

Why not plan another anomaly, then hold a banquet and invite others over?

Bai An stroked his chin, already having a plan in mind.

"I plan to cause a mutation."

"what?"

Yukari Yakumo snapped out of her daze and glanced at him in surprise. Although she didn't mind Bai An playing a trick, she was surprised that he still had the mind to do something like this at this time.

Seeing the expression on Yakumo Yukari's face, Bai An coughed lightly.

“In my hometown, every Lunar New Year’s Day would mark the start of a festival – the Spring Festival.”

"Simply put, it's Chinese New Year, when relatives and friends visit each other, get together for a lively celebration, and welcome the new year."

After saying that, Bai An looked at Yakumo Yukari.

"So... are you planning to hold another banquet after initiating the mutation?"

"Well, that's about it."

Bai An thought for a moment, then took out a fan from his backpack.

"Here, this is for you."

"Ok?"

Yukari Yakumo took the fan and examined it carefully.

The fan handle is light purple, while the fan ribs are jet black, making it look very beautiful.

Why are there so many eyes carved on the fan?

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Bai An offered an explanation.

"These are the eyes in your gap. Aren't you some kind of gap demon? Isn't this the thing that best represents you?"

"I am a Boundary Demon, not a Gap Demon. The Gap is just an extension of my ability, and besides, I can't control the eyes in the Gap."

Yakumo Yukari gave a helpless explanation, then flipped her fan to cover half of her face and asked Bai An with a smile.

"Oh my~ Why are you suddenly sending me a fan? Do you like me? I owe you so much, so you can do whatever you want to me~"

As she spoke, she blinked, her brows revealing a captivating and alluring charm.

However, Bai An shook his head in denial without any change in expression.

"No, no, you misunderstand. This is just an early New Year's gift for you. Others will receive the same gift, but I'm just giving it to you today."

Bai An's expression was calm, as if Yakumo Yukari held no allure in his presence. This attitude left Yakumo Yukari feeling quite frustrated.

After all, she was confident that she was still very beautiful and could definitely be ranked among the top tier.

Although she was just joking, Bai An was completely unmoved, which greatly shocked her.

"Don't overthink it. It's definitely not because of your usual laziness, shamelessness, voyeurism, lack of morals, or your age. I just love the fragrance of my home."
