"You'd better keep your composure, or I'll get angry!"

Although Aya Shameimaru's face was still slightly flushed, her tone was very serious. Aya admitted that she couldn't resist the gift Momo had given her, but that didn't mean she was truly willing to give up everything for it.

At least... Momo should show some sincerity!

“Ahem,” Mo Mo’s expression became even more strange. He coughed lightly, pondered for a few seconds, and decided to tell the truth, saying, “Wenwen, this is not my ability, but my instinctive reaction as a male. Think about it carefully, you should have seen it when you were spying on me and Lin.”

"Ha, what is it? How would I know anything about you human males..."

Aya Shameimaru's voice grew slower and softer, and the blush that had been fading from her face returned like a tidal wave. Thanks to Momo's reminder, Aya finally realized where she had unintentionally buried her face, and what she had been struggling with.

"I...I...I!"

Aya Shameimaru became incoherent for a moment, the blush on her face seeming to spread into her eyes, making them filled with circles. Her heart was in turmoil, and to Mo Mo's astonishment, she suddenly opened her mouth, revealing two rows of gleaming teeth.

Mo Mo felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stopped Aya Shameimaru with both hands. He cupped Aya Shameimaru's chin with one hand and lifted her forehead with the other, saying, "What are you doing!"

"I don't want to get pregnant right now! You must want me to have your baby, right? No way, I refuse! I want to stick to my journalism career! So... so let's just destroy that stuff!"

As she spoke, Aya Shameimaru struggled frantically, trying to rush back to the spot where she had buried her face and bite off the thing that could have gotten her pregnant, the thing that Momo had used to bully Reimu Hakurei.

Are you a dog?!

Mo Mo felt a chill run down his spine and immediately used his ability to levitate Aya Shameimaru, raising her a meter away from him. At this moment, Aya Shameimaru was still trying to bite something, clearly having entered some kind of frenzied state.

After several sharp, snapping sounds of her upper and lower jaws colliding, Aya Shameimaru seemed to feel the pain herself. Her eyes cleared a little, and she clutched her cheeks in agony, as if she had bitten the skin inside her mouth.

"I'm not a dog! I'm a tengu, I have nothing to do with dogs, and if you really want to talk about something, I'm a crow! I'm not the Inubashiri Momiji breed!"

Aya Shameimaru breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Momo and began to argue with him. Although her speech was still a little unclear, it seemed that even if she had bitten through the skin inside her mouth, her yokai constitution would allow her to recover quickly.

The two stared at each other, neither willing to back down. Momo was facing a powerful blow that could cause psychological trauma, while Aya Shameimaru felt she had almost fallen into Momo's trap and felt she had to fight back.

"Wenwen, let me ask you a question. Has no one ever taught you what pregnancy and childbirth really are?"

The aggressive Aya Shameimaru was taken aback, scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Well, it's no big deal to tell you."

“I wasn’t born in Gensokyo; I came here later. You don’t know what happened back then. Although ignorant humans made it easier for us youkai to live, there were no rules among youkai, and we were constantly fighting and killing each other.”

"I've never met my parents. I was raised by my clan since I was little. So I'm a wild girl who was born but not raised. As for the things you mentioned... it's normal that I don't fully understand them!"

As Aya Shameimaru explained with mixed emotions, Momo learned a great deal about her. Aya Shameimaru's situation was quite common among the Tengu.

As a powerful clan, especially a high-ranking one, the Tengu were formidable but not omnipotent. Therefore, their status and survival depended on their own battles. Back then, battles between demons were life-or-death struggles; there were no spell card rules to transform warfare into competitive combat.

Aya Shameimaru spent her childhood and adolescence under such conditions, and even participated in many battles as a fighting force, until she came to Gensokyo and gradually settled down.

As a result, Aya Shameimaru naturally had many things left untaught. After all, the elders of the tengu clan certainly wouldn't be very interested in sex education for minors. And since Aya had no plans to marry and raise children after reaching adulthood, and the tengu clan's birth rate was practically zero, it was almost impossible for her to acquire this knowledge from others.

In addition, Aya Shameimaru's instinctive aversion to all of this made him keep his distance from these things, which is why he is the way he is now, with only a superficial understanding and an overreaction.

"What's wrong? Is there something you're unhappy about?"

After finishing speaking, Aya Shameimaru simply hovered in the air, wrapped herself in her wings, and glared at Mo Mo angrily, saying, "If you want to back out now... that's not impossible, but you're not allowed to take these cameras you gave me. They're mine now!"

Mo Mo naturally wouldn't get angry over such a small matter. Since Aya Shameimaru was so sensitive about this, Mo Mo didn't intend to use it to provoke her. From Aya Shameimaru's explanation, Mo Mo understood the unique nature of the Tengu race.

"Wenwen."

"what?"

"So, if I want you to be mine, I definitely have to propose to your clan chief?"

"puff!"

Aya Shameimaru coughed suddenly, her face turning a cute red. She hid her face behind her wings, but said in a slightly impolite tone, "You... are you really serious? You really... want me?"

"Of course! Wenwen, you're so cute, how could I possibly refuse you?"

"Then why did you use that same trick to deceive me today!"

"That wasn't flirting, Wenwen. It was just a self-protective tactic to avoid hurting me too much before you rejected me."

Upon hearing this, Aya Shameimaru's breath hitched. Recalling what had happened before and her own thoughts, she realized that Mo Mo had indeed done the kind of thing before she refused him.

Did I really misunderstand him?

"Waaah—"

Aya Shameimaru let out a low whimper, clearly still struggling with something. Through the gaps in Aya's feathers, Momo could see that Aya was secretly watching him.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Next, I'll find out what you're really thinking, and you must answer me seriously, understand?"

After speaking, Aya Shameimaru spread her wings, revealing her bright red face. She also dispelled her levitation and landed facing Mo Mo in a dogeza posture. Her wings were folded behind her back, and she looked solemn and serious.

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Aya Shameimaru, a Karasu Tengu. I work as a reporter within the Tengu clan, responsible for publishing the Aya Daily."

"I ask you again, Momo, do you really intend to invite me to become one of your partners? We Heavenly Dogs value loyalty and righteousness. Once you pledge your loyalty to me, I will repay you with loyalty and righteousness. Conversely, if you betray loyalty and righteousness, I will use all my time and strength to avenge your betrayal."

"I'm sure."

Momo answered Shameimaru Aya without hesitation, meeting his gaze. Since Momo had decided to make Shameimaru Aya his person, nothing could stop him unless Shameimaru Aya himself refused.

"Hmm... okay."

Shameimaru Aya stared at Momo for a long time, seemingly unable to find a single flaw in Momo's eyes, and her face flushed even more. She breathed a slight sigh of relief, seemingly unaware that she herself was afraid that Momo was still toying with her this time.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Aya Shameimaru's face, and her voice became somewhat cheerful as she said, "Then, I've decided to believe in your friendship and accept your invitation. However, as you said, you still need the approval of my clan leader and clan members. Do you accept that?"

"I accept."

153 I still have a lot

Mo Mo answered Shameimaru Aya's two questions without hesitation, which made Shameimaru Aya even happier, as could be seen from her expression and gradually relaxing body movements.

Clearly, these two questions are quite important to Aya Shameimaru. At least for Aya Shameimaru, whether Momo can prove his answers to these two questions means whether Momo is truly qualified, as he claims, to have the sincerity to invite Aya Shameimaru to be his partner.

"My questions... are these two for now."

Aya Shameimaru's voice softened slightly. She deliberately shifted her gaze, no longer meeting Mo Mo's eyes, seemingly avoiding his gaze, and said, "For our Tengu clan, once you accept these two conditions, the rest is to propose marriage to our clan leader. This process probably won't be very smooth, after all, your identity is very special."

Aya Shameimaru didn't ask about Momo's identity. It wasn't that she didn't care about these things, but rather that it was obviously more accurate for the clan leader to assess them than for her to do so.

In a sense, Aya Shameimaru's ideas reflect that the Tengu clan practiced arranged marriages to a certain extent.

After all, the Tengu clan, as a major demon clan, has a strict hierarchical order and social civilization, and naturally has a mature way of operating. Of course, unlike arranged marriages in humans, the Tengu clan does not regard procreation as a kind of demonic pursuit. After all, they are all long-lived beings, and no Tengu would feel that reproducing at a certain stage is a necessary responsibility.

"Is that all?"

Aya Shameimaru didn't ask Momo any questions, but Momo felt that Aya Shameimaru was still extremely curious about her, given how little Aya Shameimaru knew about her. Currently, Aya Shameimaru's acceptance of Momo was merely based on the customs of the Tengu clan; there was still a considerable distance between them and true feelings.

However, Mo Mo didn't care. Anyway, Aya Shameimaru had agreed to it. Mo Mo, the experienced driver, was already familiar with things like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.

"That's it... What's with that expression?!"

Aya Shameimaru thought for a moment but decided not to ask Mo Mo's question. However, Mo Mo's teasing gaze made Aya Shameimaru feel very uncomfortable, as if he had been completely seen through.

Two points.

Mo Mo smiled and held up two fingers, waving them in front of Aya Shameimaru, saying, "There are at least two things we need to confirm."

Shameimaru Aya frowned and said, "Speak, I'm listening. You must raise any questions you have now. If you change your mind after meeting the clan head, our Tengu clan might consider you an enemy."

"Tsk tsk, is this a threat? A threat that I have to accept your clan leader's test?"

Aya Shameimaru lifted her chin, too lazy to pay attention to Momo's teasing. She did indeed have that thought, but Aya firmly believed it was for the sake of these adorable camera babies, not for Momo!

“Let’s continue,” Momo said, completely unconcerned about Aya Shameimaru’s indifference. “The first point is… Aya!”

Mo Mo smiled mischievously and said, "Since you've accepted my invitation, acknowledged me as a person, and are willing to take me to see your clan leader, what does that mean?"

Aya Shameimaru's raised chin suddenly trembled, and a blush visibly appeared on her face, clearly indicating that she understood what Mo Mo was referring to. However, she raised her chin even higher and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand... Ah!"

Unfortunately, Mo Mo ignored Aya Shameimaru's pretentious act and used his ability to push her back into his arms. Amidst Aya's gasps and struggles, he held her close and said, "This shows that, at least from your perspective, you've already accepted me, haven't you?"

"No...no, that's not true! All of this still requires the approval of the Grand Elder and the clansmen. I have no intention of agreeing to your terms!"

Shameimaru Aya continued to struggle, but the increasingly deep blush on her face completely betrayed her. Regardless of Shameimaru Aya's specific thoughts, as Momo said, Shameimaru Aya's agreement to Momo going to Youkai Mountain to meet the clan leader meant that she accepted Momo from the bottom of her heart and was willing to become Momo's partner.

"Alright, stop fooling around. If you keep fooling around, I'll make you give birth to a litter of little celestial dogs, at least seven in a row, named Big Baby, Second Baby, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Baby!"

"Alas!"

Aya Shameimaru's body trembled violently; this time, she truly dared not struggle. She carefully turned to avoid Mo Mo's waist, stiffly held in his arms, her face filled with anger and embarrassment. She said, "You bastard, so that's what you were planning!"

Mo Mo, too lazy to bother with Aya Shameimaru's allergic reaction to childbirth, reached out and gently stroked Aya's wings and spine. Aya's stiff body seemed to relax little by little with Mo Mo's touch, and she half-heartedly lay down in Mo Mo's arms, no longer struggling.

"Let's get this straight beforehand, you're not allowed to do anything. We'll talk about everything once we get back to Monster Mountain!"

Aya Shameimaru warned Mo Mo in a low voice, but her soft, sweet voice sounded more like a weak struggle. However, Mo Mo didn't really intend to punish Aya Shameimaru on the spot. Instead, he continued, "There's a second point. You didn't ask me, so I'll ask for you."

"You must be wondering about my background and what power I possess, right? You must also be worried about whether I'm popular in Gensokyo and whether I'll clash with Yukari Yakumo. And you must also be wondering if Reimu Hakurei, in your eyes, will agree to my pursuit of you, and whether it will cause any conflicts, right?"

Upon hearing this, Aya Shameimaru nodded slightly, as if to confirm. These were perfectly normal questions, and it would have been reasonable for Aya Shameimaru to ask them from her perspective. However, she ignored these questions, which was rather unusual.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about it, Momo."

Before Mo Mo could ask any further questions, Aya Shameimaru answered Mo Mo himself, saying, "I have indeed thought about these questions, and there are even more questions, but if I were to ask them one by one, then I would not be Aya Shameimaru of the Tengu clan."

"Whether you and Yakumo Yukari are friendly or hostile is none of my business. At most, when you meet with the clan head, he will consider the pros and cons from the perspective of the Tengu clan as a whole."

"Your race... isn't really a problem anymore. I know you're not a Tengu, and that's enough, because no matter what race you are, you're destined not to be of the same race as me, so what difference does it make?"

"As for Reimu Hakurei... I am indeed a little worried about her, but since it was you who extended the invitation to me, it's between you and me. Why should I care about her opinion whether I agree or not? Even if... I can't beat her later, can't I outrun her?"

Aya Shameimaru's cheeks puffed out, clearly indicating that her true attitude wasn't as forthright as she portrayed. Aya's words also made Mo Mo realize that Aya's thinking couldn't be considered from a modern perspective. After all, the time Aya was born and lived in the outside world determined that her values ​​contained many ancient chivalrous ideas.

"I understand."

Since Aya Shameimaru herself doesn't care, then Momo doesn't need to explain anything further. Aya Shameimaru was well aware that agreeing to Momo's invitation was a matter of feelings. And Aya Shameimaru's decision to have Momo undergo the Tengu clan's test was likely a test of the pros and cons Momo brought.

Aya Shameimaru clearly understood all of this, and even with temptations that were almost irresistible to her, she did not truly lose her composure.

The maturity of this thousand-year-old monster was fully displayed at this moment.

After saying that, Mo Mo stood up while holding Aya Shameimaru. To Aya Shameimaru's surprise, he floated into the sky and said, "In that case, let's set off."

"Set off?"

Aya Shameimaru blinked and said, "Where to... Ah!"

Aya Shameimaru immediately realized what was happening, almost stopping her breathing, and said in a panic, "You...you're going to the Youkai Mountain?"

"Yes, why not?"

"Absolutely not!"
