Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Hey, don't worry, Momo. I'm quite self-aware. I'm a veteran Tengu. If I weren't, why would I have brought Momo back to solemnly follow tradition?"

"Hmph... It's good that you still remember! However, even though you remember, the man you brought back has absolutely no manners. He's actually bribing the Tengu. He's simply... utterly shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Aya Shameimaru's eyes widened immediately, her gossip-loving spirit surging. She exclaimed, "Oh, what's going on? What big news has Mo Mo pulled? According to the rules of our Tengu clan, even if there is a test, shouldn't it be tomorrow?"

"Right now, he should be under house arrest like me, probably in a guest room in the other courtyard? He couldn't have escaped, could he?"

"It's good that he escaped. Then I'll go and kill him openly!" Inuzoki Momiji muttered to herself, then said to Shameimaru Aya, "Although he didn't escape, he used the excuse of giving gifts to all the tengu who were watching the show to send them gifts, and they were all valuable gifts."

At this point, Inuzoku Momiji gritted his teeth and said, "These are all unheard-of scientific products that I've never seen before. What about the pressure-8 phone, the computer with the operating system at the entrance, and that neural connection device? I wonder what secrets are inside them, yet countless little tengu treat him like their big brother!"

"If it weren't for our loyal White Wolf Tengu guarding the place, his guest room would probably be full of Tengu he's won over by now. That bastard already knows he'll be tested tomorrow, yet he's still brazenly trying to win people over and give them gifts. Doesn't he have any shame at all?!"

Upon hearing this, Aya Shameimaru burst out laughing, then laughed even harder until Momiji Inuzoku stopped him in dissatisfaction, saying, "Haha, alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore. But Momiji, actually, this is that guy's style. That guy just uses his abilities to overwhelm others with countless riches. That's his method."

"In essence, this is no different from using force to defeat someone and force them to submit; it's just a different method."

"Nonsense! We are celestial dogs, we are..."

Momiji was about to argue when Aya Shameimaru lightly raised her finger and shook it, saying, "Momiji, putting everything else aside, the Great Tengu didn't stop this behavior, did they? Before the Tenma gave the order, Momo was indeed our guest. Besides, the challenge actually started tonight, and generally speaking, the process of gathering information before the challenge is an important one."

"It's just that Mo Mo is not only gathering information, but also winning people's hearts. Hmph, with him doing this, the Tengu who are in charge of testing him tomorrow might go easy on him, go very easy on him."

Inuzoki Momiji was stunned upon hearing this, but upon reflection, it was indeed true. Almost every tengu, big and small, throughout the entire Youkai Mountain knew about such a significant matter, and the Great Tengu, responsible for managing the mountain, was even more likely to be unaware. The fact that the Great Tengu didn't stop it but instead chose to tacitly approve was a form of acknowledging Momiji's actions.

Although Momiji believed that the Tengu clan's loyalty would prevent them from revealing challenge information or going easy on the Tengu clan in tomorrow's challenge, Momo's efforts to win their hearts and minds without expecting anything in return would still earn them their goodwill.

Sometimes, the difference between goodwill and malice can lead to vastly different treatment for a person.

Inuzoki Momiji's ability is to see a thousand miles away, commonly known as the "clairvoyance." Even through obstacles, she can see the lively scene in Momo's courtyard when she concentrates. What frustrates her even more is that the two most loyal and law-abiding white wolf tengu, responsible for guarding Momo's residence, have also reluctantly joined the group of young tengu, accepting a pile of gifts from Momo and reluctantly sitting down to attend the banquet hosted by Momo.

Heaven knows where Momo got all those countless gifts, delicacies, and drinks from; the atmosphere inside Momo's villa grew increasingly lively. Looking at the scene, even Inuzoku Momiji wasn't sure if the drunken Tengu would temporarily forget their loyalty and reveal important information to Momo.

"A bunch of shameless idiots!"

Inuzou Momiji could only helplessly criticize these guys. Originally, she had hoped that Momo would fail the test and slink away in disgrace. Now it seemed that as long as Lord Tenmo agreed, Momo's chances of passing the test were at least very good.

"Aya," Momiji Inuzomi said, withdrawing her powers in disappointment, "Are you really...really willing to accept that man's marriage proposal? He already has Reimu Hakurei, right? Is a man like that worthy of your lifelong commitment?"

Shameimaru didn't want to answer the question, which showed that Inuzoki Momiji was very serious, so he had no choice but to be serious as well. She didn't say much, only saying softly, "When something like this happens, it happens. Although the outcome is not very certain, I chose to seize the opportunity because I had the determination to do everything I could."

As for the outcome...

Shameimaru Aya smiled brightly, gently closed the door, and said, "I choose to believe him, and I accept the consequences of that belief. At worst... at worst, I'll just make the news and play the leading lady in a melodramatic soap opera."

Hearing this, Inuyamaki Momiji fell silent. She didn't try to persuade Aya Shameimaru anymore, but instead stood up straight and continued to perform her duties. Inuyamaki Momiji now knew very well that Aya Shameimaru had been poisoned by Momo, and unless Momo released Aya Shameimaru herself, Aya Shameimaru would never let go of Momo.

Mo Mo... that bastard!

Momiji's anger could only resonate in her heart; she was now undoubtedly the person in the entire Youkai Mountain who hated Momo the most.

"Oh, right," Aya Shameimaru suddenly flung open the door and said, "Momiji, could you do me a favor? Please keep an eye on Momo's location. I'm worried he might get drunk and mess things up tomorrow. If there's any sign of chaos over there, please inform the Tengu immediately. Thank you!"

Shameimaru Aya clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture. Inuzoki Momiji, feeling both helpless and angry, could only coldly say, "I know, this is my duty. I won't let my displeasure delay things. I am the White Wolf Tengu!"

After hearing Momiji's assurance, Aya Shameimaru breathed a sigh of relief. A tempting blush appeared on her face, and seeing that Momiji was no longer looking in her direction, she slyly closed the door and turned to look behind her.

Beside her desk stood a smiling man, flipping through Aya Shameimaru's personal photo album with great interest.

Who else could this man be but Mo Mo?

As for why Momo was here, the reason is simple: Momo left a quantum light on Aya Shameimaru. After separating according to the rules of the Tengu clan, Aya Shameimaru returned to her house, while Momo used this quantum light to create a clone.

As for why he created a clone and came to Aya Shameimaru's room, do I need to explain the reason?

How could a man resist the temptation of sneaking into a girl's bedroom?

"You're really bold. Aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Demon Lord will revoke your qualification in a fit of anger?"

With a calm smile, Aya Shameimaru walked over to Mo Mo and sat down in the chair next to the desk.

Author's Note:

P.S.: I'm dying from writing this late at night. I spent forty minutes searching for a picture I remembered, and I'm about to die. I wanted to write three chapters but only managed two. I'm going to get beaten up!

206 The Heavenly Demon Lord is watching us.

Mo Mo, however, seemed not to have heard Aya Shameimaru's words at all. Instead, he was looking at Aya Shameimaru's treasured photo album with great interest. Without a doubt, this album was a masterpiece among masterpieces, containing scenes that almost all the characters in Gensokyo did not want others to see, including Aya Shameimaru himself.

However, now, this photo album was in Momo's hands and displayed before him. With just this photo album, Momo felt that he was enough to control the entire Gensokyo and make everyone in Gensokyo submit to his tyranny.

That's right, this photo album is that powerful.

Putting everything else aside, just look at the picture in front of Mo Mo: Aya Shameimaru lifted Inubashiri Momiji's collar and snapped a picture without any hesitation, capturing Inubashiri Momiji's impressive figure hidden beneath her heroic appearance.

Poor Momiji, although she realized that this was inappropriate, Aya Shameimaru had already taken the photos, and there was probably no way to get Aya Shameimaru to hand over the photos she had obtained.

The fact that this private photo, which can be described as a dark history, is still in the hands of Aya Shameimaru is the best proof, isn't it? Momo believes that if he takes out this photo in front of Momiji Inubashiri, the two will immediately become mortal enemies.

"Hey, listen to me! Am I less attractive to you than this photo album?"

Seeing this, Aya Shameimaru spoke in a slightly disgruntled, coquettish tone, then waved her hand, and a gentle breeze carried Aya Shameimaru's treasured photo album back to her hands, saying, "Alright, the private expo ends here. If you want to see it, once our relationship is settled, everything that's mine will be yours, and even I will be yours. You can look at these things as you like then."

Aya Shameimaru spoke these words frankly, seemingly displaying her forthright side. However, seeing the awkwardness hidden beneath her frankness, Mo Mo seemed to realize something and said, "The following part... is it a selfie?"

"Wow! No...no, I didn't take any selfies...okay, okay, it was a selfie! And a lot of them were taken while I was in the shower. Are you satisfied now? I do like taking pictures while I'm in the shower. It's my little secret. Originally, only I knew about it, but now you know too."

Seeing Mo Mo's all-knowing smile, Aya Shameimaru knew she couldn't hide it from him anymore. However, she didn't intend to conceal it from him, since these things would become their secret once their relationship was confirmed.

Thinking of this, Aya Shameimaru couldn't contain her excitement. She finally had someone to share her journalistic career with, and that person would be her man.

However, Aya Shameimaru, still maintaining a sense of reserve due to shyness, tightly hugged the photo album to her chest, covering the lower half of her face, and looked at Mo Mo with only her eyes, saying, "Our relationship... should be fine, right? You, instead of spending your time with me, you should be thinking about how to deal with tomorrow's test. Your clone needs to be distracted too, I don't need you here with me."

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo naturally recognized that it was Aya Shameimaru's tsundere attitude. He approached Aya Shameimaru step by step, getting closer to Aya Shameimaru who was still sitting in the chair. With Aya Shameimaru's almost suffocating expression, he took the photo album that Aya Shameimaru was blocking in front of him and placed it on the desk.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. You yourself said that the test is actually starting now, so any preparation is unnecessary. Last-minute cramming is not my style, and this time I've brought a dowry that your Tengu clan cannot refuse."

Mo Mo's words were full of confidence, which made the somewhat uneasy Aya Shameimaru breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at Mo Mo who was so close to her, she blushed and turned her head away, saying, "Then you shouldn't be in my room right now. According to the rules of the Tengu clan, I shouldn't even be able to say a word to you, let alone be in the same room with you."

“I’ve already revealed quite a few secrets, so Mo Mo, don’t even think about getting the secrets of the assessment or information about the Tengu clan from me. What I’ve done is already the bottom line. I also have my principles. After all, I’m a key member of the Tengu clan, and I must abide by the rules of the Tengu clan.”

As a member of the Tengu clan, Aya Shameimaru was clearly very loyal to the clan's rules. This was deeply ingrained in her mind, and she had no intention of violating those principles. However, she didn't want to upset Momo, so she could only remind him in this way to avoid an awkward situation if he pressed her for answers.

This is also why Aya Shameimaru hasn't kicked Momo out yet. Aya Shameimaru feels that since she has already abided by her bottom line, it's better to make some concessions to Momo in minor matters, since the two of them will be together for the rest of their lives.

"The bottom line..."

Mo Mo wasn't particularly dissatisfied with Aya Shameimaru's persistence; on the contrary, it actually changed Mo Mo's opinion of her. Mo Mo had initially thought that being a shameless troublemaker was Aya Shameimaru's inherent trait, but now it seemed that, setting aside the things Mo Mo knew about, Aya Shameimaru held considerable authority and prestige within the Tengu clan of Youkai Mountain.

However, while Mo Mo didn't mind Aya Shameimaru adhering to the Tengu clan's rules, as a man, Aya's apparent bias towards the Tengu clan compared to Mo Mo's still made Mo Mo a little jealous. There was nothing he could do; Mo Mo wasn't a saint, and he was no different from anyone else in having his little emotions.

So, since Aya Shameimaru doesn't intend to leak the secret, Momo will try to satisfy himself in other ways.

"Actually, I don't think you crossed your bottom line."

Mo Mo spoke earnestly to Aya Shameimaru. Aya Shameimaru, seeing Mo Mo's serious demeanor, was somewhat surprised and said, "I think I've already told you everything I can. There's really nothing more I can say. Did you get more information from your White Wolf Tengu? That's impossible. Those guys should be even more tight-lipped than me."

Aya Shameimaru was somewhat surprised. She wasn't really sure if Momo could obtain more information from others. After all, Momo already possessed many extraordinary qualities, so she wouldn't be surprised if something else extraordinary happened.

"You didn't use any tricks, did you?"

Aya Shameimaru's expression also turned serious. He said, "If you insist on using any means to extract information, I can't stop you. But I must tell you that once you obtain the information, the Tengu who leaked it will be punished. So you'd better try not to use... Ah!"

Aya Shameimaru's serious expression vanished instantly with the slightest change. She hurriedly reached out to try and cover her collar and stomach, but with only two hands, she couldn't stop the change in her clothing.

"What are you doing?!"

The seriousness just moments before turned into embarrassment and anger. It turned out that Momo had taken advantage of Aya Shameimaru's inattention to activate her ability and silently unbutton Aya Shameimaru's tie and shirt, revealing her fair skin to Momo. Helpless, Aya Shameimaru could only try to reach out and cover Momo's eyes.

Unfortunately, Aya Shameimaru's hands were easily grabbed by Mo Mo. What appeared before Aya Shameimaru was Mo Mo's hateful smiling face, who said, "Didn't I just say that you didn't cross your bottom line? Look, now I feel like I have crossed your bottom line."

Aya Shameimaru finally understood that Mo Mo's so-called bottom line meant something else entirely. She rolled her eyes at Mo Mo, both amused and annoyed, and said, "There should be a limit to your greed, okay? Seeing you now is already breaking the rules. Do you really dare to do anything to me?"

"If I yell now, Momiji will rush in immediately, and the entire Demon Mountain will know about your audacious behavior. In that case, even Lord Tenma will be furious and disqualify you, right?"

"You'd better listen to me when it comes to the Tengu clan. Although I'm glad you acted impulsively towards me, now is really not the time. Once you pass the test tomorrow, you can move in with me openly and honestly, no problem. Why rush things?"

Aya Shameimaru completely dismissed Momo's behavior as a male impulse, since she herself harbored similar impulses. Having been single for a thousand years, she might soon be settling down, and the knowledge she had accumulated over those millennia would finally come in handy. Aya also planned to find time to consult with those seniors who had already married, laid eggs, and hatched tengu, seeking their advice and experiences.

At this moment, Aya Shameimaru could only barely suppress the palpitations and unease in her heart by relying on the discipline of the Tengu clan, so she was not very angry about Mo Mo's actions and was quite understanding.

However, it's definitely unacceptable.

"No, no, Wenwen, you won't bark. If Inuzomoku comes in, you'll probably be the one who finds it hardest to accept it. What will she think of you if she sees you and me having an affair the day before the test?"

A smug smile flashed across Mo Mo's lips. He didn't stop undressing Aya Shameimaru. As anger gradually rose in Aya's eyes, he said, "Besides, Aya, I'm taking a test right now."

"……what?"

Aya Shameimaru was taken aback and asked, "Participate in the trial?"

She looked down at her undone clothes, at the half-rounded curves revealed through them, and her heart raced. She said, "You're taking the test like this? Even if Lord Heavenly Demon isn't angry, I'll kick you out! Mo Mo, there's a limit to your jokes, or I'll really get angry!"

Shameimaru Aya kept saying she was angry, but Mo Mo didn't stop moving. How could she possibly be angry?

On the contrary, Aya Shameimaru's legs were tightly pressed together, her knees rubbing together unintentionally. Her somewhat unfocused gaze dared not meet Mo Mo's eyes, which revealed Aya Shameimaru's mood at this moment.

She did want to stop Momo, but lacked the courage to do so.

"I'm serious, Wenwen. Believe it or not, if I'm not mistaken, Lord Tianmo might be watching us right now."

207 Aya Shameimaru's Bottom Line

Aya Shameimaru, who was initially somewhat composed, panicked and tried to struggle when she heard that the Heavenly Demon might be watching them. However, by the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on Mo Mo's lap, with Mo Mo holding her in his arms.

Furthermore, Mo Mo's embrace wasn't just around her waist, but also her lovely chest, which had never been touched by any man before. Mo Mo's hand eventually slipped inside Aya Shameimaru's open collar. Although Aya Shameimaru grabbed Mo Mo's wrists to try and stop him, the strength in her hands was clearly waning as Mo Mo massaged her.

"You...you despicable person! When did this happen? How could you be so fast? You even reacted faster than me!"

How could it not be fast? In order to take the initiative, Momo used full physical acceleration, easily using a thousand times speed to break through all of Aya Shameimaru's resistance, and then subdued the tengu that was still trying to struggle.

"Alright, stop fooling around. It's fine if I see and touch, after all, we're about to become husband and wife. But if you keep struggling and accidentally expose yourself to the Heavenly Demon, or even the people around him, I might get a little upset."

Upon hearing this, Aya Shameimaru shuddered, her last shred of resistance vanishing. Momo was the one who had done wrong, yet now Aya Shameimaru was the one in the wrong, unable to resist any longer—what kind of situation was this?

However, Aya Shameimaru wasn't so easily swayed. A thousand-year-old demon still possessed considerable self-control. In a slightly off-key voice, she said, "You'd better tell me what's going on, or I definitely won't let you off easily! Hmph, Momo, don't forget, even if you pass the test tomorrow, if I suddenly change my mind and refuse to marry you, the Tengu clan will definitely… ugh!"

Aya Shameimaru's verbal attack was silenced by Mo Mo's lips. Startled, Aya forgot to struggle. When she regained consciousness, she groggily found herself limp in Mo Mo's arms, her wings obediently folded to their smallest size. Her hands were now gently clutching Mo Mo's sleeves—not to stop him, but her last shred of restraint.

"you……"

Coming to her senses, Aya Shameimaru wanted to say something, but seeing Mo Mo leaning closer again, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands and glared fiercely at him. However, while Aya Shameimaru managed to defend her lips, the rest of her sensitive areas were no longer safe. The aura she had just built up vanished instantly as Mo Mo's large hands moved beneath her shirt.

"Waaah—"
