Gensokyo, a Minecraft template, starting experience from plucking flower fields.

"Shall we go somewhere else?"

Yuuka Kazami hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She usually only stays in the area near the sunflower field.

It's been a long time since I've gone out.

But she didn't want to refuse Bai An's invitation.

"Now that you've agreed, let's get going!"

Bai An took her hand and walked out first. Their destination was the nearest human village.

"Don't pull me!"

"But only holding hands can prove our relationship."

Bai An smiled, ignored her resistance, and walked straight out.

The two walked one in front of the other, with Bai An holding Youxiang's small hand the whole time, while she passively followed behind.

The journey passed through a small village that had been attacked by the leopard demon before.

Bai An's eyelids twitched as he looked at the large statue in the middle of the village and the offerings of fruit in front of it.

The statue was probably completed in the last couple of days. Although it's not a perfect likeness, it still bears a strong resemblance, and it's not hard to tell that it's him.

Kazami Yuuka glanced at the statue, then at Bai An, and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"This is you?"

Bai An forced a smile and explained:

“When I came to find you before, there were two monsters who wanted to massacre this village. I took care of them and killed them. I think that’s why the villagers built a statue for me.”

"And your name."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the large characters carved on the statue.

him――King of Salted Fish.

She could understand the first name, but what the heck was Salted Fish King?

"This is my pseudonym."

Sensing Youxiang's strange gaze, Bai An forced himself to remain calm and said that when the village chief asked him for his name, he just gave two aliases.

Who would have thought that the village would build a statue of him?

It feels rather awkward to have this thing displayed in the center of the village and attract a crowd of onlookers.

Let's find the village chief and have his statue removed again.

With this in mind, Bai An searched for the village chief.

There weren't many people present at the time, and Bai An left in a hurry after asking for the address of the flower field.

Therefore, most people do not know Bai An.

Even if people noticed the two, it was only because of their exquisite attire.

In this era, clothing represents status and identity.

Just like an emperor, only he could wear the yellow robe with the dragon on it; anyone else who was discovered would be arrested or even executed.

Although this world is different from the original world.

However, the idea that the more luxurious the clothes, the more valuable the person's status is still valid.

After circling around and still not finding the village chief, he returned to the sculpture, just as he was about to give up.

The village chief appeared beside the statue, with a dashing young man standing beside him.

Because of the distance and the fact that he wasn't paying attention, Bai An didn't hear their conversation clearly.

However, the village chief's bowing and careful attempts to stop him suggest that the young man is of noble status.

The village chief seemed to be rejecting something from the young man, but the young man still refused to give up.

Bai An stepped into the spot where the two were.

Before he could hear what the other person was saying, the young man kicked the statue in front of him.

With a snap, the entire statue shattered into pieces.

This scene made Bai An raise an eyebrow slightly.

However, instead of approaching, he pulled Youxiang to a corner where they could hear their conversation and hide there.

He placed his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Youxiang to be quiet.

The latter glanced at it, then turned to look at the young man again.

His scarlet eyes were filled with confusion.

The opponent's strength was clearly only slightly stronger than that of a minor demon.

With their strength, they could easily crush them.

Why be so cautious?

If Bai An's hand hadn't been holding her firmly...

She probably would have rushed out long ago and given that guy a good beating.

At the same time, on the other side.

The village chief staggered to the young man's feet.

He knelt down with a thud, looked at the rubble on the ground, picked up a stone with trembling hands, and tears welled up in his old eyes.

"I'm sorry, my God, I'm guilty!"

"Ha~"

The young man scoffed, glanced at the village chief kneeling on the ground, and said disdainfully.

"Stop pretending. What kind of bullshit gods are you talking about? A few monsters are putting on an act, and you actually believe one of them is a god. You really are a backward village, ignorant and foolish."

The young man's mockery made the village chief lower his head, his hands tightly gripping the pebbles, and murky tears rolling down his cheeks.

"No, even if that person really is a monster, he is still our village's savior. How could you destroy the statue we built for that person?"

The village chief looked up and glared angrily at the young man.

The villagers nearby also gathered around, their faces filled with anger, and they pointed fingers at the young man.

“When we sent you a distress signal, your Onmyoji ignored us and left us in danger.”

"Yes, if that sir hadn't arrived in time, our village would have been massacred."

“My son and daughter-in-law were killed by those two leopard demons. When we were in danger, you refused to come. Now that those two leopard demons are dead, you come running over here like peacocks. And you even have the nerve to come here and question that person’s identity!”

People's emotions grew increasingly intense, and the insults continued unabated.

"Shut up!"

The young man roared, his face turning ashen.

"You bunch of trash, so what if you're dead? Hand over the corpses of those two monsters right now, or I'll wipe out your entire village!"

As he spoke, an aura emanated from him, instantly causing the surrounding trees to be blown down by the gale and sand to fly everywhere.

this moment.

Only then did everyone realize that the young man was an Onmyoji, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces, but their anger burned even brighter.

"Pah! You bunch of bastards who take money and do nothing! Every month you force us to pay some kind of exorcism fee, saying that if we encounter a monster, you will send an Onmyoji to exorcise it. It's only a two-day journey from our village to the town, but we've waited for three whole weeks and still haven't seen a single one."

An old woman was the first to curse.

"If it weren't for that esteemed person saving us, we would have been dead long ago. How dare you still make such sarcastic remarks!"

The other villagers nodded in agreement, clearly showing their strong support for the idea.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense."

With his fig leaf torn away, the young man's face instantly darkened.

This area is indeed under their jurisdiction.

They did receive the village's plea for help, but their family only had three third-rank Yin-Yang Masters.

This time, the monsters are two mid-level monsters, with little difference in strength.

Even though it's three against two, what if something goes wrong...?

Therefore, their plan was to wait until the village was completely massacred before searching for survivors.

Clean up everyone who knows about this.

But upon arriving here, they learned that the leopard demon was dead and that a god had descended.

They dared to step on their heads to gain fame, and the leopard demon's corpse was left behind.

You should know that the inner core of a mid-level demon is worth an unimaginable amount of money.

How could he swallow this insult?

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes.

His gaze swept over the crowd around him, a hint of bloodthirsty pleasure flashing in his eyes.

After this incident, the village will no longer provide them with money or other valuables.

It would be better to kill them all.

To avoid any trouble that might arise if the news gets out.

Having figured out the key point, he snorted coldly.

"I see that your minds have been completely warped by demons and you are beyond redemption. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, channeled his spiritual energy, and condensed it into a sharp sword, aiming it at the old woman who had spoken first.

I saw the sharp blade gleaming with a cold light.

The old woman was startled; her body stiffened, and she was unable to move.
