Why is my anime art style so weird?

"You must be an Onmyoji. They are all your shikigami, and judging from their aura, they have all reached Soul Level 4."

But if I may be so bold, even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for General Yantou.

"Now that you know I am an Onmyoji, you should also know that Onmyoji have other methods. How do you know I am no match for him if we have never fought?"

Xu Ming said meaningfully.

The snow woman sighed and pointed at Erina, saying:

"I'm only reminding you because she's practically one of our own. If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"Thank you for reminding us, we'll be careful. But..."

Xu Ming casually changed the subject by turning his glasses around.

Why is it called General Flame Head? Is it because it is very good at using the power of fire?

The Snow Woman seemed oblivious to Xu Ming's attempt to trick her into revealing information, and nodded honestly.

Then Xu Ming began to coax the Snow Woman into revealing more information, extracting a lot of useful information from her.

Including the Great Tengu named Flame-Headed General, who is skilled in using fire, wields two large katanas, can fly but isn't good at it, is huge (Yuki-onna's original words: twice your size), very strong, not very agile, likes to eat human hearts, likes to drink alcohol, and is often drunk...

Xu Ming pieced together information about General Yantou from Xue Nu, including his strengths, weaknesses, and other details.

After fooling him for so long, Xu Ming was embarrassed.

This snow woman looks and has such a mature demeanor, I never expected her to be so easily fooled. Xu Ming even suspected that he could just trick her into bed.

Most importantly, despite Xu Ming's attempts to elicit information, the Snow Woman beside him showed absolutely no reaction.

He glanced discreetly at the snow women surrounding them.

They all look so cold and aloof; are they all just naive and innocent girls?

"Since Erina is of your kind, could you please allow us to pass through this snowfield?"

Seeing that the two sides had become somewhat familiar with each other, Xu Ming took the opportunity to make his request.

However, the leading snow woman refused without even thinking.

"No! The clan chief said that outsiders are not allowed to pass. If you really want to go, you can only let her go alone."

The snow woman pointed at Erina.

"Eh~!"

Despite Xu Ming's best efforts to persuade her, the Snow Maiden stubbornly refused to let them pass.

Xu Ming couldn't help but scratch his head.

He had previously thought the other party was naive and easily fooled.

I've only just realized that being naive and innocent has its downsides; once the other person has made up their mind about something, it's very difficult to persuade them to change their mind.

This is troublesome.

Chapter 309 The Liar Who Came to Find Fault, the Tengu (Bonus Chapter)

Xu Ming had previously asked Haruyuki Arita to scout the area. This snowfield was larger than the White Bone Forest. If they took a detour, it would be too late by then, and the festival might be over by the time they got there.

Just as Xu Ming was wondering whether he should force his way through the snowfield.

A snow woman rushed over from the depths of the snowfield.

Xu Ming noticed that the Snow Woman stepped on the snow without moving her feet, and slid directly on the snow at a speed no less than that of a sled pulled by 18 huskies.

Xu Ming's expression changed slightly.

Fighting the Snow Woman in the snowfield was definitely not a good idea.

Given their mobility, if they were to wage guerrilla warfare in the snowfields, who could possibly stand against them?

That's like wrestling with a shark in the ocean.

but……

Xu Ming glanced around. These naive, innocent snow women probably wouldn't employ such sophisticated guerrilla tactics, would they?

Forget it, fighting the Snow Woman in the snowfield is a really bad idea anyway, and Xu Ming doesn't want to force it unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, the snow woman had already arrived in front of the leader.

"Lian, General Yantou's men are causing trouble again. The clan chief wants you to take your men back immediately!"

"Those guys still dare to come?!"

The Snow Woman leader was immediately filled with shock and anger, her fair face turning bright red with rage.

"Sisters, let's go back!"

Without saying a word, she turned and left with the group of snow women.

The snow women left quickly and cleanly, leaving Xu Ming and his shikigami standing there dumbfounded.

Xu Ming was both amused and exasperated.

He tried everything to persuade them, but they absolutely refused to let them cross the snowfield. Now he's just leaving them here and abandoning them.

You bunch of naive and innocent people are so funny.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

Erina asked.

Xu Ming touched his smooth chin.

The safest option at this time is, of course, to take advantage of the troubles of the Yuki-onna clan and cross the snowfield.

Xu Ming had originally planned to make the same choice.

However, the Snow Woman's mobility on the ice and snow, as well as the vastness of the snowfield, quickly made Xu Ming abandon the idea.

The other party is indeed facing trouble, but Xu Ming can't estimate how long this trouble will last.

What if you've just entered the snowfield, and halfway there, they've already solved their problem and caught up with you?

A conflict is definitely going to happen.

"Let's follow them and see."

Xu Ming decisively changed his mind.

Given how naive and stubborn these people are, they should be grateful to me for helping them solve their problem. At the very least, they'll let me cross the snowfield directly.

So Xu Ming and the others ran wildly in the direction the Snow Woman had left.

These snow women are really too straightforward. They don't even know to take a detour or eliminate any traces. What if they lead the enemy into their own home?

Xu Ming, on the other hand, received an unexpected surprise.

The Snow Woman's ability to 'glide on snow' seems to be a racial talent.

After Erina turned silver-haired, she adapted quickly and learned how to do it right away.

She not only learned how to skate, but she could also skate with Xu Ming.

Unfortunately, perhaps because she was carrying a child, Erina's gliding speed was not as fast as Yuki-onna's, which completely extinguished Xu Ming's idea of ​​taking the opportunity to slip away.

Xu Ming simply put Arita Haruyuki and Asagami Fujino into the Hyakki Yagyōshō, and then had Erina carry him as they glided quickly across the snowfield.

The cold wind howled past his face, giving Xu Ming a taste of skiing.

About 10 minutes later, a village made of ice sculptures came into Xu Ming's view.

Two groups of monsters are facing off outside the village.

One of them is the Snow Woman.

The other one has a pair of black, raven-like wings on its back, a bright red face, and a very long nose. Judging from its appearance, it seems to be a famous traditional Japanese monster... Tengu.

The group of tengu, wielding long spears, waved them around, seemingly trying to intimidate the snow woman.

The snow women glared at the tengu, but some dared not speak out.

The snow maidens who had previously blocked Xu Ming's path also joined the ranks of the snow maidens, but it didn't seem to have the effect of increasing their momentum.

At the same time that Xu Ming saw them, the two groups of monsters also saw Xu Ming and his companions.

The Snow Maiden leader, who had previously been tricked into revealing information by Xu Ming, stared at Xu Ming and his group in astonishment, her face filled with a look of shock that asked, "Why are you here?"

The tengu were also taken aback, but quickly the leader, who was holding a staff, rolled his eyes and a sinister expression appeared on his face. He pointed at the snow women and shouted:

"Good! So that's why you refused to carry out the general's orders. You've already colluded with the humans!"

The Snow Woman hurriedly explained:

"We are not! We didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Still denying it? This snowfield is clearly your territory. How could humans possibly get in without your people leading the way?"

"No, they came in on their own!"

The snow woman kept refuting, but these naive and innocent girls were no match for the cunning tengu and were immediately rendered speechless.

"You snow women must have harbored rebellious intentions all along, otherwise why didn't you go when the general summoned you several times? You must be planning to join forces with humans to assassinate the general!"

"No, every time our people went to the castle tower, they never returned..."

"You audacious snow woman! How dare you slander the General!"

You traitors who collude with humans! I will report this to the general and have your entire clan exterminated!

The more the Tengu spoke, the more excited it became, waving its staff incessantly. It seemed to already see those delicate and beautiful bodies screaming and slowly dying.

These beautiful creatures are not for it to enjoy anyway, so let's just destroy them!

Just as the tengu was gesturing wildly, imagining perverted scenes, a crowbar suddenly appeared above its head and slammed down on it.

Bang! A loud crash.

It nearly crushed its head, and with a thud, it fell to the ground.

The other snow women and tengu were dumbfounded.

When Xu Ming approached, he overheard part of their conversation and immediately knew that a conflict had broken out between them. Without saying a word, he attacked the celestial dog.

On one side is a beautiful, pretty, and naive snow woman who looks no different from a human.
