Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

After nightfall, the ghostly aura in the capital city of gods and demons becomes quite intense.

After midnight, a hundred demons roam the night!

At that time, everyone outside will have to return to the Yin-Yang Bureau's protective barrier to hide, as there will be no protection outside.

"The demonic energy in the capital of gods and demons is dense, and it will suppress your power to a certain extent, making it especially dangerous at night. Moreover, the closer you get to the Demon King, the more obvious the suppression will be," Haruna said in a deep voice.

Tang Rou subconsciously tried to mobilize the divine power within her body and found that it was indeed suppressed to some extent.

It's not nighttime yet, so it seems the power of divinity is limited here.

"Then how can one resist the ghostly aura?"

"There are two ways. One is to have powerful fire-type abilities. Demons and monsters are afraid of fire, and fire-type abilities can also restrain them to a certain extent."

"The other type is the Yin-Yang Talisman." Haruna took a talisman pendant from her waist, which seemed to be made of talisman paper. "It can resist ghostly energy to a certain extent. I will give one to each of you."

Tang Rou and the others each received a Yin-Yang Talisman.

[Yin Yang Talisman (Level 1), Requires 200 Ghostly Energy to upgrade]

"This seems to be a special item...it can be upgraded."

"It seems that leveling up requires us to kill those demons and monsters?"

"That's right. We don't have fire-based abilities. Only by continuously upgrading the Yin-Yang Talisman can we get closer to the Demon King. It seems that this is not a task that can be accomplished overnight."

Once the goal is clear, things will be much easier.

Slay ordinary demons and monsters, upgrade your Yin-Yang Talisman, delve deeper into the realm, and ultimately stop the Demon King.

Tang Rou weakly raised her hand and said, "Actually... we have another shortcut that we can take, without having to work so hard."

Zi Nan asked curiously, "What shortcut?"

"Hmm... Let's wait for the boss to come in and have him lead us to sweep through the Divine Demon Capital!"

Uesawa Sakura was the first to object: "No, I need to become stronger. It's still early before dark, let's go out now!"

"I'm afraid of ghosts QAQ....."

Uesawa Sakura was quite enthusiastic, and Zi Nan and Tang Rou naturally couldn't stay cooped up in the Yin Yang Guild, so they went out to kill monsters together.

........

It has been three days since the opening of the Divine Demon Capital.

Extremely strange phenomena occurred over the past three days.

Tens of thousands of extraordinary individuals have entered the Divine Demon Capital, but not a single one has come out!

According to the rules inside, if you die, you're dead inside; and those who survive can only leave after a battle between factions has decided who will win.

But those outside don't know the rules inside the Divine Demon Capital!

So it looks quite eerie.

"What happened... So many people went in, but not a single one came back..."

"Could they be dead inside? Otherwise, there would be more movement!"

"This is too terrifying! You guys can go into the Divine Demon Capital, but I'm too scared to go in..."

"Who would dare go in there? We might not even come back alive. Isn't it better to just level up outside?"

Therefore, almost no one dares to enter the Divine Demon Capital anymore, including powerful superhumans of the fourth rank and above.

The unknown is what's most frightening!

As for Chen Nian, he and Ye Hongling have been taking care of Xiao Zhu these past few days, treating her with the same tender care they would give a baby.

He wasn't worried at all. If they really encountered an insurmountable danger, Zi Nan would naturally come back to report. If she hadn't contacted him, it meant he was safe.

These past few days, Little Zhu has finally learned to fly on its own, breaking free from the ground-dwelling chicken and becoming a true Vermilion Bird!

However, it is very clingy. It usually stands on either Chen Nian's or Ye Hongling's shoulders, and it has to sleep with the two of them at night.

Their appetite is also terrifying; they drink at least five liters of milk and eat seven eggs a day!

Watching Xiao Zhu grow up, Chen Nian was quite happy and felt a special sense of accomplishment. However, he had to leave today.

It wasn't because I needed to rush to the capital of gods and demons, but simply because the night of the full moon was fast approaching...

Because of the heart-moon imprint planted by Chang'e, Chen Nian would meet with Zhao Yixue at least once a month, making the distance between them negative.

"Then I'll leave Xiao Zhu in your care. I'll be going now..."

"Chirp, chirp!" Little Zhu probably sensed that Chen Nian was about to leave, and reluctantly tugged at his clothes with its mouth.

Ye Hongling sighed and picked up Xiao Zhu again. "Forget it, Xiao Zhu. Your father is just that kind of heartless man. He has ambitions beyond his hometown. From now on, only your mother will be with you..."

"You're putting on an act, aren't you?"

"Waaah, Little Zhu, look how fierce your dad is!"

"Chirp!" Little Zhu pecked Chen Nian's face a few times to express its strong protest.

To avoid upsetting the little guy, Chen Nian used the Illusionary Void Technique to teleport away.

Popular men are always busy.

He then went to the Zhao family in Jiangcheng to meet Zhao Yixue.

The two didn't have much to say to each other, and taking advantage of the buff from the full moon, they immediately started rolling around in bed!

While Chen Nian and Zhao Yixue were enjoying a romantic getaway, the unfortunate employee Tang Rou was fighting desperately on the front lines alongside Shang Zeying...

The capital of gods and demons is divided into nine layers.

The ghostly aura intensifies with each city you pass through!

Shangze Ying was already quite strong, and with the help of the super healer Tang Rou and Zi Nan, the group was among the fastest and had already reached the fourth level of the city.

"The ghostly aura in the Fourfold City is so strong... I feel like it's hard to breathe." Tang Rou frowned as the group walked along the empty streets.

"I don't feel anything," Zi Nan said, indicating that she didn't need to breathe at all, and her power wasn't suppressed.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the mist ahead!

The screams nearly shattered the tranquility of the city, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"etc!"

Sakura Uesawa lowered her center of gravity, gripping a kunai in her hand, already in a state of combat readiness.

A figure appeared ahead, walking forward, the wooden clogs making a crisp sound on the ground.

"Little sisters, come play with your big sister!"

It was a woman, dressed in a gorgeous kimono, but her skin was paler than her bones, and her whole body possessed an eerie beauty.

She wore a skull decoration on her head and held a slender bone sword in her hand. Her posture was elegant, yet she exuded a sharp killing intent.

"Hone-onna..." Uesawa Sakura whispered.

This is a yokai from the legends of the land of cherry blossoms.

"Oh my, I didn't expect the little girl to recognize her older sister, I'm so touched."

As the Bone Woman spoke, she spat out a piece of bone. "The young man's flesh was too coarse. I hope the younger sisters' flesh can be more tender~"

"Let's do it!"

Uesawa Sakura took the initiative, using her kunai to close the distance with lightning speed, as swift as a cat!

However, all of her attacks were blocked by the sword in the Bone Woman's hand, and sparks crackled in the air.

"This demon is quite powerful... it won't be easy to deal with."

Zi Nan turned her head and saw that Tang Rou was hiding behind a utility pole by the roadside, trembling with fear.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

"I'm afraid of ghosts QAQ....."

"You still have divine status? What a coward!"

"You're just the boss's summoned beast, yet you talk like you're so great," Tang Rou retorted angrily.

Just then, Tang Rou suddenly noticed something on her head, as if some scalding liquid was flowing onto her head.

She slowly raised her head, her face turning deathly pale, her pupils constricting!

It was a gigantic spider, perched on top of my head, with half of a woman's body on it, drooling.

Jorogumo, a spider spirit in the legend of cherry blossoms.

"Little sister...it looks so delicious."
