The gods descend into reality

“Oh, what do you think, little brother? We’ve already prepared the betrothal gifts they asked for very thoughtfully.”

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari even took out a shiny gift, which made Xiao Se's eyelids twitch.

The stone bowl before the Buddha, the jade branch of Penglai, the fire rat fur coat, the swallow shell, and the dragon neck jade bead—each item was more wondrous than the last. In addition, the five treasures seemed to exude an alluring attraction, as if they were all that was needed to make him agree.

It's as if you could easily marry the beauty in that photo.

"You've been searching for these five treasures for a long time, haven't you, Zi?"

Xiao Se's lips twitched as he asked a question in return.

"Oh, I finally understand my sister's good intentions. That's right, it took a long time to find these five treasures." Yukari Yakumo said, making a gesture as if she wanted praise.

It has to be said that with such a youthful appearance, making such an expression is quite remarkable.

They're so cute it's almost unfair!

"Sorry, I refuse."

Xiao Se said with a dark face.

The five treasures—the stone bowl before the Buddha, the jade branch from Penglai, the fire rat fur coat, the swallow shell, and the dragon neck jade bead—are not ordinary treasures; rather, each of them represents a different meaning.

In The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Princess Kaguya made these five demands of her five suitors.

Even a youkai like Yukari Yakumo, who stands at the pinnacle of the world, would probably have to put in some effort to find such a treasure.

Therefore—

Xiao Se looked at Yakumo Yukari with a scrutinizing expression.

"Are you sure that person from Eientei won't come to the House of the Lost after they find out?"

"Oh my god~ How could that be? The mission was decided by that princess herself. Even Eirin couldn't possibly disobey her, right?" Yakumo Yukari squinted her eyes, looking like a cunning fox.

Xiao Se was speechless.

I originally thought that Yukari Yakumo would at least try to argue her way out of it.

Now, does that mean they've directly admitted it?

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

These five highly targeted gifts couldn't have been collected on the spot, so they must have been collected long ago. In Xiao Se's opinion, Yakumo Yukari was definitely collected specifically when Kaguya made this condition.

Then they'll bring it out at the crucial moment to cause trouble for Eirin Yagokoro!

Xiao Se said he had seen through everything.

"Sorry, I don't like girls who are even more of a homebody than me."

Xiao Se refused.

宅？

Of all the people I've met, I've never been afraid of anyone.

but--

In the world of otaku, I would call Kaguya the strongest!

According to some dark history records.

This woman, nicknamed Hime but whose real name is Kaguya Houraisan, is a true big shot who considers dying from staying up all night as an everyday occurrence.

If one says their cultivation level is the Nascent Soul stage.

That big shot has already ascended to the Ascension Realm.

I can't mess with them!

"Oh, little brother, maybe you and Kaguya will have a lot in common."

Yakumo Yukari continues to have a market.

"Heh~"

"Okay, fine~"

Yukari Yakumo said with some disappointment.

So you were disappointed just now, right? You must have been disappointed!

You heartless bastard, don't you just want to find someone to steal the cabbage that Yagokoro Eirin has been raising for so many years, and then see Yagokoro Eirin's angry but helpless look?

Get lost.

If we really marry that shut-in girl, won't she just become a testing ground for drugs every day?

Xiao Se's face darkened even more.

"As expected, you still want my training, don't you?"

Scáthach said with a smile.

"Sorry, I didn't want to. So, Yukari Yakumo, what brings you here today?"

Xiao Se pretended to be very serious and said.

I have a feeling that if I continue discussing this topic, I might lose all my integrity. It's best to change the subject quickly.

"Dry!"

Yukari Yakumo replied just as seriously.

Desolate...

o(╯□╰)o

Is it true that the demon Xianzhe lives up to his reputation?

"Ahem, Ah, speaking of which, I do have an idea. I'd like to go and see that world with the little fox demon you mentioned last time."

Yukari Yakumo coughed twice, straightening her expression to appear more serious.

What do you want to do?

Xiao Se looked at Yakumo Yukari with wariness.

"We won't do anything reckless. According to what you said, humans and yokai coexist in that world. I want to see if I can get Gaia's consciousness in the Gensokyo world to accept us strange beings."

Yakumo Yukari said with a troubled expression.

Although every time she appears in front of him, she has an expression of shamelessness and indifference, and this time she has even changed her appearance, I feel a strange sense of desolation. It seems that the Yakumo Yukari at this moment is the real Yakumo Yukari.

"Actually, in that world—"

At this point, Xiao Se paused slightly.

"Never mind, I'll let her tell you herself."

As the gap opened, a figure of Tu Shan Ya Ya appeared in Xiao Se's hand. A special light flashed on the figure, and the previously dull eyes became lively.

"You bastard, you didn't do anything, yet you're taking advantage of me!"

As if startled, Tu Shan Ya Ya suddenly jumped out of Xiao Se's grasp and looked at Xiao Se with a wary expression.

"Ahem, it's an accident, an accident. You should know the older sister behind you. She wants to go and see your world."

Xiao Se clenched his fingers.

Although it was embarrassing, I have to say she truly deserves to be the future Queen of Tushan.

That shows how broad-minded I am!

"abnormal!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya quickly covered her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment as she cursed loudly.

"Sister, just come back with me later. I came here to find some helpers anyway."

Then Tu Shan Ya Ya turned to Ya Kumo Yukari and spoke.

"Help, did you fight with anyone in your world?" Xiao Se asked, puzzled.

"Hmph, it's all because of those black foxes. Ever since they learned that there was such a group of monsters hidden between humans and demons, Wang Quanba has been actively promoting relations between humans and demons, wanting to work together to deal with those black foxes."

But these guys are too cunning; they're so slippery, you can't catch them at all!

Tu Shan Ya Ya said with a bitter face.

Although the black foxes are strong, with the combined efforts of the human and demon races, these black foxes really can't cause any real trouble.

The key is that they are so good at hiding that it's impossible to find any trace of these black foxes.

"Oh, right."

Seemingly remembering something, Xiao Se looked at Athena.

"Xiaoya, open your Netherworld."

Athena didn't even turn her head, continuing to watch television, while the Netherworld in the void slowly opened.

"Help!"

Please, please let me go!

Screams of young girls echoed from the underworld. Xiao Se reached out and pulled out a black fox that looked like a piece of seaweed.

Chapter 178 Fox Spirit Matchmaker Worldline Shift

The black seaweed sheet transformed into a fox spirit girl with a curvaceous figure.

What originally resembled black seaweed sheets now looked like a starry sky draped over the all-black fox demon girl.

"I never imagined that such strange creatures as you would exist."

Scáthach exclaimed in admiration.

"Unlike traditional monsters, they are somewhat similar to some of the strange things in my world."

Yakumo Yukari also sighed.

A being born of emotions.

Such strange monsters have existed, and there are even monsters that feed on the darkness deep in people's hearts. In the world before Gensokyo was established, there were even more strange things in the outside world, and in fact, even now.

Although most monsters no longer exist in the outside world, some stubborn ones still survive.
