My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Shang Yang appeared directly outside the door of the hot spring villa, the place where he disappeared when he went out in the morning. He looked into the distance in the direction of Izumo, breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to rub his shoulders.

"Fighting with Feng Jian You Xiang is too dangerous..."

While sighing in his heart, Shang Yang took out the key and opened the doors in order.

Stepping into the entrance hall, the young man closed the door.

...clashing.

As the living room door was opened, Her Royal Highness the Princess leaned forward upon hearing the noise at the entrance.

Seeing the tired-looking young man at the entrance, Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her sleeves, covered her mouth and smiled.

"It seems like it was a tough battle... Thank you for your hard work, Shang Yangjun, and welcome back."

After saying hello, Kaguya changed the subject and asked.

"But Shang Yangjun and I are both immortal, so there's no need to worry too much even if we have to fight... Well, as we agreed this morning, do you want to come and play later?"

Hearing the princess invite him to play Three Kingdoms Kill, the young man ruffled his gray hair, not seeing anything wrong with it. After the intense battle just now, a card game was a good way to relax, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, I'll be right there. By the way, Princess, have you taught them how to be sensitive?"

Seeing Shang Yang agreed, Kaguya, who was about to move back to her upper body, replied with a smile.

"Of course, they all know how to do it. We are all waiting for you to come back."

"That's fine."

While responding, Shang Yang walked into the living room. As soon as he entered the living room, Shang Yang knew why only Kaguya greeted him when he returned.

Shana and Jue were unexpectedly playing King of Fighters battle with controllers, but even just by observing their expressions, one could tell how the game was going.

He had a look of confidence and smugness on his face, as he pressed the handle without any panic.

Shana next to her had an anxious expression on her face, and the process of pressing the handle was very messy.

It was only natural that Shana fell behind... The big eyeballs floating on Jue's chest were staring closely at Shana next to him.

Lianlian was sitting behind her sister excitedly and happily, constantly cheering them on.

"Come on, sister, you must win~!"

"Sister Shana wants to win too~!"

...Lianlian, who do you want to win?

As expected, Shana was knocked out easily by Jue.

Seeing that the game was over, Shang Yang took the opportunity to greet Shana and Jue.

"I'm back, Jue, Shana."

"Welcome back."

Noticing that the young man with gray and messy hair was already in the living room, the girl with short lavender hair smiled and greeted Shang Yang in a friendly manner.

It seems that I beat Shana in the first video game I played, and I feel very good.

…I’m so happy that I won by reading your mind.

Shana didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to Shang Yang.

"Brother Shang Yang, welcome back."

Lianlian also greeted Shangyang in high spirits.

Not seeing love, the young man with gray hair asked curiously.

"Isn't love home?"

"Xiao Ai went to the bedroom upstairs to rest in the afternoon. She seemed a little tired."

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was fiddling with the tablet in her hand, took time out of her busy schedule to clear up the young man's confusion, her tone very meaningful.

"Because last night, Shang Yangjun was very dishonest..."

Deliberately dragging out the last syllable, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City stared at the embarrassed young man with gray hair with a smile.

"Ahem... Emu Lin Er ⑵ ① Umbrella Ling Ba Chuan"

After coughing, the young man, who was extremely thick-skinned, rubbed his gray hair awkwardly.

The young man himself was also reflecting on this. Although he was obsessed with pleasure after years of love and fulfillment, he was also too difficult for his beloved, and caused great suffering to the girl who was experiencing this for the first time...

Before returning home, the young man had already decided to apologize to his sweetheart after returning.

Hearing the Moon City Princess teasing the young man so bluntly, the lavender-haired girl and the petite black-haired girl beside them, although still looking nonchalant, both girls' pretty faces flushed with shyness.

Even before Kaguya teased the young man, Miss Jue calmly covered her innocent and lovely sister's ears with her slender white hands to prevent her from hearing Kaguya's question.

It seems that Miss Jue thinks her sister is not suitable to listen to this topic.

The girl with light green hair and light green eyes was very confused by her sister's strange behavior, but she obediently let her sister cover her ears.

The young man, feeling extremely embarrassed by the princess's blunt teasing, immediately left the living room of the g异ling意七卄〦（四〢【）五（九〆A）四酒坝 and walked along the corridor towards the stairs.

Hot Spring Villa, Shang Yang's room.

Gently pushing open the door, the young man with gray hair walked into the room cautiously.

At first glance, the young man saw the girl sleeping quietly on the soft bed, with her eyes closed, her face peaceful, and she was deep in a sweet dream.

The girl's long black hair was like a waterfall, scattered on the bed like seaweed.

Sitting sideways on the bed, the young man with gray hair stared at the beautiful face of the girl who was sleeping quietly, his dark pupils full of pity.

Reaching out his hand, the young man with gray and messy hair carefully arranged the quilt covering the girl's soft body, but some corners were not covered properly.

The young man carefully covered the girl with a quilt and enjoyed taking care of the girl he loved deeply.

However, after carefully arranging the quilt for the girl, the young man once again gazed at the beautiful face of the sleeping girl, but he discovered.

At some point, the girl's dark red pupils quietly opened, like clear spring water, emitting the brilliance of the summer sun...

The girl with long black hair stared at her sweetheart with sparkling eyes.

A long kiss.

The young man with gray and white hair leaned down and gently kissed the black-haired girl's beautiful soft lips.

As if surprised, the girl's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and then a hint of intoxication appeared in her dark red pupils...

The long and beautiful kiss gradually reached the end of intoxication.

Lip points.

Facing the bright and handsome face of the young man with gray and white messy hair that was almost touching her cheek, the girl with long black hair shyly pulled up the quilt to cover her pretty face with a blush on her face, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed, and shyly opened her cherry lips.

"…bullying me?"

"It's punishment."

The young man with gray hair, who had taken advantage of the girl, nodded nonchalantly and continued to push himself further towards her in an impolite manner.

"Punishment for pretending to sleep and lying to me."

“…bad intentions.”

The shy girl softly rebuked her lover for his impolite remarks.

"Isn't love also playing tricks on me, testing me by pretending to be asleep?"

Hearing this, the young man complained about his lover inconsiderately.

"It's not a test."

Hearing this complaint, the girl with long black hair became very shy and explained softly to the young man.

"I don't understand either. By the time I realized it, I had already done it..."

Seeing the girl confess her feelings without reservation, as if she didn't want the young man to misunderstand her at all, the young man felt even more pity for her.

"it does not matter."

"I've been wanting to apologize to you since this morning."

"Last night, it was only the first time we made love, but I made you so tired... I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize."

Before the young man finished speaking, the beautiful girl with long black hair raised her fair hand, stretched out her snow-white and delicate index finger, and gently pressed it against the young man's thin lips, preventing him from expressing his apology to her, and whispered her feelings.

“…I feel very happy.”

"...That's it."

The young man gazed tenderly at the girl in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded, indicating that he understood his lover's feelings.

"...then love to come downstairs with me? They are waiting for you and me in the living room to come down and play board games together."

Shang Yang asked about Ai's plans.

"Well, I'll be downstairs in a minute," Ai urged him softly, "Shangyang, go to the living room first. Kaguya and the others must be waiting anxiously for you."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 86: The Passage of Time

Hot spring villa, living room.

The young man took out the Three Kingdoms Killing cards from the cabinet in the living room, sat down at the square table and greeted the girls.

"Everyone, would you like to try a board game together?"

"Okay," Jue, who was very interested in the modern life at the hot spring resort, nodded first, stood up, walked to the square table and sat down again, "I learned from Kaguya this morning and was thinking of giving it a try."

Hearing what Jue said, Kaguya and Shana felt very helpless.

"...You can read minds, how can we play?" ×2

"...You don't have to hold such a grudge against me, right?" After reading Kaguya and Shana's thoughts, Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud. He waved his hand and said, "I promise I won't read their minds."

After saying that, he looked at Shang Yang who was shuffling the cards with a somewhat embarrassed look.

"But in exchange, Shang Yang, please ignore the bridge of the mind between you and me for now."

Hearing this, the young man ruffled his hair.

"That's right, I almost forgot."

Shang Yang can naturally ignore the spiritual bridge connected to Jue's mind by shielding, but this shielding requires the continuous maintenance of the power of the two yin and yang to be achieved.

So, after removing everyone's various mind-reading states, Shang Yang and the four girls played board games while waiting for Ai to come downstairs.

I can have some leisurely days again.

Shang Yang, who had been busy recently, took the identity card of the Three Kingdoms Killing game and sighed. He picked up the ID card and scanned it.

“…Why is he a traitor?!”

Time flies and years pass by.

In 753 AD, the 12th year of the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion in world history was quickly put down due to the intervention of Shang Yang. The Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak, did not decline due to internal strife as in previous history.

Li Longji, the sage Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, came to his senses after An Lushan's rebellion and regained his spirit. Just like in the early years of the Kaiyuan period, he made use of young reformist officials and worked vigorously to rectify the problem of the feudal lords that had already begun to take shape. Internally, he strictly rectified the administration of officials. The decline of the Tang Empire during the Tianbao period gradually recovered, as if it had returned to the prosperous and energetic Kaiyuan period.

Nine years later, in 762 AD, the 21st year of the Tianbao reign of the Tang Dynasty, on the fifth day of April, the Central Plains saint, the Tang Emperor, Xuanzong Li Longji, held the hand of his concubine Yang Yuhuan and peacefully closed his eyes in the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

Less than a year later, Yang Guifei also passed away because she missed Xuanzong too much.

Ten miles of flat lake are covered with frost, and every inch of my black hair is filled with worry about my youth. Looking at each other alone under the moon, I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.

From then on, people only knew about the immortal couple, but not the Song of Everlasting Sorrow.

On the fifth day of April in 762 AD, Shang Yang sat alone on the top of Mount Yoshino, drinking a can of Coke while looking up at the huge dragon that was hovering over the long river of the Tang Dynasty. It was difficult for ordinary people to see it, and it almost covered half of the earth, but it was dying.

The divine dragon, transformed from the destiny and luck of the sage Xuanzong, also knew that its life was coming to an end. It gathered its last bit of strength and let out a long cry towards the sky.

Afterwards, the huge dragon body suddenly scattered into stars of luck and returned to the long river of luck that represented the destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this scene, the young man with gray hair raised the can of Coke in his hand and saluted towards the other side of the sea, in the direction of Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.

After Emperor Xuanzong, his successor Emperor Suzong also died young due to poor health. Although several subsequent emperors of the Tang Dynasty were not outstanding, they were all rulers who maintained the status quo. Against the backdrop of the continuous emergence of capable ministers and brave generals under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire remained at its peak. Although with a series of phenomena such as land annexation and the destruction of the military system, the internal problems of the Tang Empire were still not completely resolved.

However, as problems within the Tang Dynasty gradually surfaced, some new ideas gradually spread slowly but steadily within the country.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the seeds planted by Shang Yang in the Central Plains gradually sprouted and grew vigorously.
