"Ok?"

Inuzoki Momiji tilted her head, not understanding why Yoru had suddenly become withdrawn, but out of concern, she still stepped forward and asked softly:

"Sir, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to have something more than friendship with you, damn it!"

"Eh!! Eh!! It's here!"

Inuzou Momiji was startled and stumbled back several steps, covering his face with the map. His eyes kept glancing at Yoru, and his voice trembled with nervousness:

"H is not allowed!"

"Ah!" (Groundhog.jpg)

After being tormented by Inubashiri Momiji, Yoru is now physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, the underground is not a peaceful place; it is a gathering place for the hated and the exiled. Along the way, Yoru encounters many monsters who have designs on them, but Inubashiri Momiji takes care of them one by one. Holding the Wolf Energy Bottle, Inubashiri Momiji cuts a path with a single slash, and Yoru takes the opportunity to rush up and beat him up, venting all her stress on these unfortunate souls.

"Is this the old capital?"

Looking at the relatively tidy street, Yoruka swaggered in with Inuzoku Momiji. Many yokai around them stared at the two of them with wary eyes. Although they didn't seem to have anything special about them, the tragic deaths of their companions had taught these ferocious creatures a lesson.

"Sir, why are we here?"

Passing through the bustling streets, Ye Ge arrived at a restaurant with decent decor. Just as he was about to go in, Inuzou Momiji hurriedly stopped him, looked around warily, and asked in a low voice, "This seems to be the territory of our former master, the Oni Clan. Is it not a good idea to come here?"

Yoru gave Inuzoki Momiji a meaningful look, then patted her shoulder solemnly, as if a senior were instructing a newcomer, and said earnestly:

"Huahua, don't worry so much about some things. It's me who wants to go in, not you who wants me to. Some things just need to be done, not thought about. Because thinking too much will only cause trouble, understand?"

Inuzomi Momiji was slightly taken aback, noticing that Yoru was staring intently at her. A bitter expression appeared on her face. She took two steps back, took a deep breath, bowed ninety degrees, and said loudly to Yoru:

"I'm sorry, sir, I have overstepped my bounds!"

Yoru's gaze and words made Inubashiri Momiji realize that her seemingly responsible actions had affected Yoru's plans. She was just a guard, and all she had to do was carry out her master's orders. Even if Yoru treated her as one of her own, she wasn't this lenient. Her gentle admonition was already considered mild.

"It's alright, but it's best not to do that again in the future."

Nodding slightly, Ye Ge walked straight into the restaurant without turning his head. Their earlier conversation had already attracted the attention of the people inside, but he paid no attention. He went directly to the counter and tossed a piece of gold towards the monster wearing a tall hat.

"Bring me three jars of the best wine!"

"Alright, sir!"

The monster put away the gold nuggets and immediately beamed with joy, becoming much more enthusiastic. Money makes the world go round! This principle holds true everywhere. Soon, three unopened jars of wine were brought out. Yege casually opened one jar, poured himself a cup, and poured one for Inuzoku Momiji.

"drink!"

Ye Ge nudged Inuzou Momiji and whispered an order. Although Inuzou Momiji didn't understand Ye Ge's purpose, she nodded and clinked glasses with him. Ye Ge took a sip, and the spicy liquid rolled in her mouth, as if a fireball had fallen into her stomach, warm and comfortable. Sure enough, the strength of the wine on the ground was completely incomparable to that underground.

Inuzoki Momiji also finished his drink, a slight flush appearing on his face, but it quickly disappeared. Both of them had constitutions that far surpassed those of ordinary yokai, so even strong liquor was something they could quickly break down. However, Yoruka's purpose was not to taste the local specialties from underground. While drinking, he shook the liquor jar, and the aroma of the liquor wafted out.

"Hey kid, I've never seen you before. Are you new here?"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. A burly hand slapped the table from behind, attracting everyone's attention. The audience smiled in unison. The aroma of wine that filled the room finally whetted the appetites of these gluttons. The first one to speak up had appeared.

"A ghost?"

Ye Ge raised his head and glanced at the newcomer. His distinctive horns identified him as the Ghost Clan, a powerful race from the Old Capital! But he only glanced at him before lowering his head to continue drinking, as if he had just seen a cat pass by.

"Hey kid! I'm talking to you!"

The voice became somewhat urgent, and the hand shook back and forth on the table. The aroma of wine filled the air, and the owner of the hand became even more anxious, but his movements became much more careful. If such good wine were spilled, as a member of the Ghost Clan, he would definitely feel heartbroken for a long time.

"Alright, what brings you here?"

As if giving up, she put down her wine glass, stopping Inuhachi Momiji from standing up. She gently pressed down on Momiji's hand, which was resting on the hilt of her sword, and then raised her eyes again, speaking slowly in a calm and indifferent voice.

"Hey! New guy, I need to make a deal with you. You two definitely can't finish these three jars of wine, how about you give me one?"

The demon chuckled, seemingly pleased with its cleverness, but Yege merely smiled, placed the last jar of sake beside her, then released Inubashiri Momiji's sword hilt. She gestured with her eyes for him not to act rashly, then turned and extended her hand towards the demon clan, revealing a cunning smile:

"Three taels of gold, thank you for your patronage."

Ahem! Starting today, I'll add an extra chapter every day if the total subscriptions exceed 2000! And for every additional 1000 subscriptions after that, I'll add another chapter! Keep it up, everyone!

Section 80, Chapter 77: Raising Prices on the Spot

The air suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Ye Ge's smiling face, and they all felt a chill for him. The rest of the ghosts laughed heartlessly. Although the best wine here was expensive, it wasn't this pricey. Even if Ye Ge bought three jars of wine, it would only cost four ounces. He hadn't even left the restaurant yet, and he was already raising the price on the spot.

"You! Human, don't be so arrogant! Do you believe I can beat you to the ground and make you finish your drink right in front of you?"

The demon's face darkened. Even if he was stupid, he knew that Ye Ge was mocking him. There were so many demons and his own kind watching the show. If he retreated directly, he would be laughed at for the rest of his life. A fierce light appeared in his eyes, and his hands clenched slightly. Ye Ge could hear the sound of his knuckles cracking.

"Not buying? Then I'll ask for something else."

Ye Ge remained calm and drank another cup, savoring the strange sensation of the cold flames rolling into her stomach. She then said to him slowly, "Summon your Ghost King. I want to see her. If you can do that, I'll give you another jar!"

"Human! Don't go too far! How dare you even meet Hoshiguma, the Demon King?"

The demon suddenly shouted loudly. Compared to how Night Song had tricked him before, his arrogant appearance now annoyed the demon even more. Although the demons had withdrawn from Gensokyo, it didn't mean they were weak! When did the Demon King become like a street vendor, someone you could just meet whenever you wanted? Especially not a weak human!

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

Ye Ge rolled her eyes at him and started waving him away: "Go away, go away, don't stand here like a wooden stake. Even if you glare your eyes out, I won't give you any water!"

The heavy breathing echoed in the restaurant. Everyone was stunned by Ye Ge's arrogant attitude. In this old capital, the Ghost Clan was the dominant force. How dare an ordinary person speak like this to such a powerful race?

"Don't regret it!"

The demon let out a low roar, his fists clenched, about to make a move, when a cold glint appeared and stopped at his neck. Inuzoku Momiji had somehow appeared behind Yoru, his katana radiating white light and considerable spiritual energy, now held across the demon's neck, his eyes coldly watching him.

"Anyone who wants to harm Mr. Shall be killed!"

The demon took two steps back, his face covered in cold sweat as he dodged the blade. His neck felt cold; the piercing intent of the blade had made him smell death. If Inuzoku Momiji hadn't shown mercy, his head would already be on the ground. But when he looked closely, he realized that what had almost killed him was actually a tengu! And the weakest of them all, the White Wolf Tengu!

"Our former servants! How dare they turn their swords against us!"

The demons roared in anger, never imagining that the Tengu, who had once been their servant, would dare to turn against their master with a blade!

"The only person I am loyal to is you, sir. Anyone who gets in your way is my enemy!"

Inuzoku Momiji's eyes were clear, unaffected by the demons. With each breath, white spiritual energy flowed slowly around her body, swirling around her sword. The katana emitted a soft white light, and she seemed to transform into a sharp sword, ready to be drawn at any moment to slay her master's enemy!

"You traitor!"

The demon raised his fist and swung it down at Inubashiri Momiji. The force of the punch even caused the wine in his cup to spill out, but he couldn't care less about the pain. His mind was filled with rage. How dare a mere tengu and a human bully them like this?

Ding-dong!

Momiji Inuzoku remained expressionless, raised her sword to block the attack, and the white spiritual energy strengthened the sword, allowing her to forcefully deflect the demon's blow. Then, she swiftly swung her sword upwards, and the tangible sword light shattered the demon's palm, drawing out a trace of blood. Momiji Inuzoku had broken through his defense and injured her opponent!

"I can do it! I'm completely different now!"

Inuzou Momiji sheathed her sword and retreated, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. She was now able to fight the demons! Giving a grateful look to Yoruka, who was still sitting in the same spot, Inuzou Momiji's fighting spirit soared, and she actually took the initiative to attack the demons!

"Hey! Good luck! Getting beaten by a tengu will make you a laughingstock for the rest of your life!"

The remaining demons had already gathered together, raising their wine jars and shouting at the demons engaged in fierce combat. They had no intention of joining the battle; the demon race hated ambushes and gang attacks the most, and what they wanted was a fair duel! This was also why, even now, Inuzoku Momiji was still fighting one-on-one against a demon.

"Damn it! This mere White Wolf Tengu is so troublesome!"

Oni was desperately defending against Inuzomi's attacks. She was too fast, almost turning into a white blur as she flew around Oni. Her katana was like a venomous snake, striking out at his weak points and nearly hitting his vitals several times. After a battle, Oni was already injured!

"Don't get too cocky!"

The pain fueled his ferocity. Oni punched the ground, sending dirt and stones flying and shaking everything around him. Inuzomi was forced to reveal herself. Oni took the opportunity to step forward and threw a fierce straight punch, charging straight towards the revealed Inuzomi. Unlike his tall stature, he possessed remarkable speed!

Boom!

In a moment of desperation, Inuzoku Momiji held her sword horizontally in front of her chest. The white light was dazzling, and the blade, enhanced to its maximum, barely managed to block the demon's full-force attack. However, this also sent Inuzoku Momiji flying backward, sliding several meters before regaining her balance. Her hands were numb, and the demon's area-of-effect attack prevented her from using her speed. In her carelessness, she actually made a mistake!

"I'm sorry, sir, I underestimated my opponent."

Momiji lowered her head, her tone filled with disappointment. Yoru finished his drink expressionlessly. He hadn't left his seat from the beginning, and he only gave a curt reply to Momiji's apology. Then he took out a white energy bottle from his pocket and tossed it to the somewhat exhausted Momiji.

"It's good that you know you were wrong. Let's hurry up and finish this in three rounds."

Inuzoki Momiji took the white energy bottle, which had a wolf's head drawn on it, and its power was exactly the same as hers. She smiled softly, lowered her head to Yoru, and her tone was no longer disappointed. Instead, her emotions became high. She clasped one hand to her chest and shouted loudly, "I will not disgrace your name, sir!"

Leaning on her sword, Inuzomi Momiji stood up and walked step by step toward the demon, who raised an eyebrow: "You can still move? You've got some skills, but do you think that broken bottle can defeat me? I'll give you a chance. Be loyal to me! It's better than dying for a human!"

"First, I apologize for underestimating my opponent; I will give it my all from now on. Second, as I have said, this sword will only be wielded for one person, and that will never change!"

Momiji resolutely shook the energy bottle, twisted the cap, and, under the oni's questioning gaze, inserted the bottle into the mark on her neck. The phantom of a wolf appeared, and countless white lights merged into Momiji's body. Her aura surged, and every inch of her skin and hair emitted a shimmering white glow, a manifestation of overflowing spiritual energy.

"Just as you said, I'll take care of you in three moves!"

Section 81, Chapter 78: Hoshiguma Appears

Inuzoki Momiji's eyes flashed like lightning. She raised her sword over her shoulder and suddenly disappeared. A gust of wind swept through the restaurant. The next second, she appeared behind the demon. She slashed down with her katana. White light clung to the blade, and a large amount of spiritual energy was compressed onto the surface of the blade. She struck the demon's back.

"what!"

The demon cried out in pain and turned around to grab Inuhachi Momiji, but she had disappeared without him noticing. A huge wound appeared on the demon's back, bleeding profusely. Unwilling to give up, the demon tried to use the same trick again, shaking the ground to restrict Inuhachi Momiji's movements, but Inuhachi Momiji was faster than him!

The katana pierced the ground, and white spiritual energy erupted, piercing through the ground and exploding in front of the demon. The soaring spiritual energy broke through the ground, rapidly magnified in front of the demon, and finally crashed heavily into his head. The huge impact almost flipped the demon over, and his body leaned back at a ninety-degree angle, leaving his abdomen wide open.

"it's over!"

Inuhachi Momiji dashed forward, her sword held horizontally to her side. She forcefully swung the katana, striking the demon's protruding abdomen. Nebula gas flowed within her body, unnoticed by Momiji herself. A smile of excitement and ferocity appeared on her lips. The next moment, the demon was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall. A gash appeared on its abdomen, rendering it unable to rise again.

"The gentleman does not wish to incite bloodshed, but judgment is indispensable."

Momiji sheathed her sword, her tone solemn. She didn't deliver the final blow, but instead used the back of the blade as instructed by Yoru. Otherwise, the unfortunate demon would have been cut in two, but that would have ruined all of Yoru's plans and created hatred between Yoru and the demons.

"Come back, Momo, you did a good job."

At this moment, Yege finally spoke, stood up, walked to Inuzou Momiji's side, patted her neck, took out the wolf energy bottle, and placed it in her palm. The spiritual energy emanating from Inuzou Momiji's body instantly disappeared. She looked at the energy bottle in her palm and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Human! Your guard is quite something! But are you worthy of her? Let me have a go at you!"

More demons jumped out, staring intently at Yoru. The astonishing fighting power of Inuzoki Momiji just now was enough to pique their interest, and since Inuzoki Momiji was Yoru's bodyguard, many people were focused on him, wanting to see just how strong a human with such a powerful bodyguard really was.

"You're using me as a practice tool? Looks like you've been underestimated! Summon your king."

Ye Ge looked at the eager ghosts with a cold smile and loudly stated his demands, but the ghosts were not moved. Instead, they laughed indifferently: "If you want to see King Hoshiguma, you have to get past us first! Let us see if you are qualified to see the Ghost King."

"You'll find out soon, very soon."

Yoru pulled Inubashiri Momiji behind her and took out the Build Transformer and the Danger Trigger.
