While she's right in some ways, I can do this, but you can't say it!

Looks like I haven't surpassed her in a while, and she's gotten cocky. Next time I'll definitely give her a good beating until she sticks out her tongue and rolls her eyes.

"Bring it on! I will never let you set foot in the Scarlet Devil Mansion!"

Although Hong Meiling spoke with great force, she had already quietly taken a step back.

Her martial arts intuition told her that Li Xiao was someone she could never beat, but she couldn't quite gauge just how strong he was.

She planned to put up a token resistance for a couple of moments and then pretend to faint.

But Li Xiao didn't give her any chance. He appeared behind her in an instant, grabbed her by the back of her collar, and lifted her up.

Hong Meiling immediately became obedient, raising her hands high and shouting, "I was wrong! Let me go!"

"Are you really that cowardly?" Li Xiao was speechless.

Hong Meiling, who had her back to Li Xiao, rolled her eyes.

Nonsense! If I weren't a coward, I would have been beaten to death by those Taoist priests and monks long ago during my many years as a demon.

"You don't know this, but ever since they tricked me into becoming this gatekeeper, they haven't paid me a single salary. I've been resentful of them for a long time. Just give the order, and I'll take you to them right away!"

On the surface, Hong Meiling spoke righteously, but in her heart she was secretly thinking, "I'll lead you into a trap later and see how arrogant you can be then."

"Alright, lead the way."

Li Xiao let go of her.

Hong Meiling straightened up, gave Li Xiao a fawning smile, and then pushed open the door of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Following Hong Meiling, Li Xiao stepped inside.

The interior was very dark, with only the light from the lamps along the walls.

After walking for a while, Li Xiao said impatiently, "How much longer?"

"It's coming soon."

Hong Meiling quickly replied, while inwardly screaming.

Sakuya, young lady, I can't hold them off any longer! Hurry up!

Sakuya's ability has expanded this space, and the fact that they haven't reached the end yet means they've already discovered the situation and are still preparing. So she can only try her best to stall for time.

Of course, these things could not be kept from Li Xiao. He even knew where the other people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion were, but Li Xiao did not take action to stop their arrangements in advance.

If we don't personally crush all their resistance, given the nature of these monsters, they will definitely cause trouble in the future.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before a double door appeared in front of them.

The gate was very tall, estimated to be nearly 3 meters high, and was decorated with intricate patterns and inlaid with gemstones, making it extremely luxurious.

I just don't understand why Remilia, who is so small, would want such a big door. Is she just trying to save face and not care about her own comfort?

Hong Meiling pushed open a gap with all her might, and then slipped inside in an instant.

Li Xiao did not stop her, because he could sense that everyone except for one person underground, who was probably Fran, was present.

He opened the door completely and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw Remilia sitting on the throne in the center of the room, swirling a glass of red wine filled with blood in her hand, looking down at Li Xiao with disdain.

Standing on either side of her was a silver-haired maid and a purple-haired girl in pajamas holding a magic book; these must be Izayoi Sakuya and Patchouli.

As for Hong Meiling, who came in first? She was standing behind him with the equally red-haired Little Devil, looking at Li Xiao timidly.

Remilia scrutinized Li Xiao, and Li Xiao, in turn, admired her petite and adorable figure, as well as her feigned dignified face.

Seemingly offended by Li Xiao's scrutiny, Remilia snorted and asked:

"You're Li Xiao?"

"That's right, I am Li Xiao. You are the Scarlet Devil Mansion's mistress, the eternally crimson Remilia?"

Upon hearing Li Xiao call her by name, Remilia arrogantly replied:

"Since you know of my reputation, why do you still dare to provoke me?"

"I didn't mean to provoke you."

"Oh? If that's the case, I can give you a chance. Submit to me, and once I unify Gensokyo, I will grant you everything you desire!"

Remilia spread her arms, revealing her ambition to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "Remilia, you can't give me what I want."

Remilia frowned and said, "You don't believe in my strength?"

"No, it's because what I want are your people!"

He initially wanted to directly say that he wanted to participate in their training program, but after thinking about it, he realized that even if they were non-human, it was still too direct.

Upon hearing his words, Remilia's face instantly darkened.

"I was hoping to avoid some trouble, but it seems you're really asking for it! Sakuya, take care of him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao felt time stand still around him, and Remilia's expression froze.

Li Xiao looked at the silver-haired maid standing next to Remilia and smiled, saying, "Very good ability, but unfortunately this move is ineffective against me."

Izayoi Sakuya, who had just activated her ability and was about to throw a flying knife, heard his words, her pupils contracted, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"You weren't affected?"

Li Xiao retorted, "What makes you think your abilities can influence me?"

Putting aside the huge size difference between the two, he still had Little Flame on him.

When it comes to playing time, Homura is much better than Sakuya Izayoi.

Upon seeing this, Sakuya Izayoi immediately deactivated her power and apologized to Remilia: "I'm sorry, Miss, my power is ineffective against him."

She couldn't get involved in what happened next; her abilities were only considered strange, but her combat skills were too poor.

Remilia's expression instantly turned serious.

Sakuya Izayoi's ability is something even she can't escape, so how come it's ineffective against Li Xiao?

For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do.

Seeing that Remilia remained silent, Li Xiao asked, "So? Are you still going to fight?"

"Go together!"

Remilia, who had just secretly activated her ability to see through fate, sensed something was wrong. Forgetting about saving face, she immediately prepared to start a righteous brawl.

"Gungnir!"

Remilia conjured a blood-red spear and hurled it at Li Xiao.

After easily accepting it, Li Xiao examined it in his hand.

He was a little curious: was this so-called Gungnir really Odin's weapon, or was it a fake?

But before he could even take a few glances, several more spears flew towards him.

Li Xiao was a little surprised, "This is still wholesale?"

With a casual wave of his hand, all the spears shattered.

But then Patchouli's various advanced spells poured down on him as if they were free.

A golden shield appeared around Li Xiao, blocking the magic.

Patchouli was panting heavily after completing her attack, but Li Xiao's shield remained undamaged.

Li Xiao yawned, feeling a bit bored.

"Is that all? Can't you use a little more force?"

"hateful!"

Remilia was enraged by Li Xiao's mockery.

But even with all her might, she couldn't break through that damned shield.

"Remi! It seems we're no match for them."

Patchouli's forehead also began to break out in a cold sweat.

It wasn't that she was scared; it was just that, as a homebody with asthma, her exercise level today had already exceeded the recommended amount.

Remilia, unconvinced, pointed her gun at Li Xiao and shouted, "If you're so tough, stop hiding in that turtle shell and come out for a one-on-one fight!"

"as you wish."

Li Xiao appeared in front of her instantly, looking at her expressionlessly.

"Alas!"

Her ability to see through fate was constantly warning her that she was about to die!

In extreme fear, she immediately crouched down, covering her head with her hands, her whole body trembling.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

Li Xiao suppressed the murderous aura he had deliberately displayed and smiled as he rubbed her head.

"Good, if you had done this earlier, we wouldn't have had to fight."

Remilia dared not resist, tears of humiliation streaming down her face.

"What about you?"

Li Xiao looked around, mainly focusing on Patchouli and Izayoi Sakuya.

As for Hong Meiling and Little Devil, who are huddled together in fear, we don't need to pay attention to them; their opinions are unimportant.
