A journey into an infinite dimension

"Immortality Elixir·Penglai——"

Staring blankly at the place where Ye Jian disappeared, Yu Meihong didn't know if she remembered something, but something from long ago gradually began to burn in the depths of her pupils.

"Yomi...Kaguya..."

Chapter 406: Is it time to make offal soup? (Quilt wrapped in a sack)

"Hey, sister."

After dinner, while Kaguya held him in her arms and they watched the new anime updated today together, Ye Jian suddenly called out softly.

"what happened?"

Enjoying the ultimate bliss of life while watching the new anime and hugging her younger brother, Kaguya lowered her head to look at Ye Jian in confusion and responded softly.

"Sister, do you still remember what happened a thousand years ago, the era of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter?"

"Although I took the medicine from Penglai, I am a god. My memory is not comparable to that of mortals."

Kaguya whispered as she gently rested her chin on Yomi's head.

"Of course I remember something that happened a thousand years ago."

If the person who took the Penglai medicine and became immortal was a mortal, then with the mortal's brain capacity, after a thousand years, perhaps he would not remember anything except the things that he had to remember.

However, gods are different, especially natural gods. As beings with a lifespan as long as the sky, they can probably still clearly recall all the details of what happened in a certain year or at a certain moment on a certain day in the past, let alone thousands of years, even if tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years have passed.

This is the gap brought about by the different life persons.

Because of this, the gods' concept and cognition of time may be even more exaggerated than that of ordinary immortal species.

"But, Xiaoye, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Are you interested in what happened back then?"

Blinking, Kaguya asked curiously.

"I just want to ask my sister if she still remembers someone."

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Jian smiled.

"A little girl who always followed you around at that time, calling you 'Princess Sister'."

"Oh, it seems like you saw something interesting today, Xiaoye."

After pressing the pause button, a hint of interest quietly appeared on Kaguya's beautiful face.

Of course she remembered who Ye Jian was talking about, and she was not surprised that Ye Jian knew about this.

After all, they were just some past experiences, so except for a few memories related to the girl's modesty, most of her past information was completely open to Ye Jian.

However, because Ye Jian values ​​her privacy, he has always been unwilling to observe all her information except for a small amount of things he knows due to uncontrollable factors.

However, Kaguya knew her brother's character very well. He would not specifically mention something if there was no special reason.

Especially, there are things about her past.

"Is he the descendant of that child, or something like that?"

"If I tell you that this is me, what will your sister think?"

Gently rubbing Kaguya who was hugging him, Ye Jian said with a smile.

"Impossible... unless..."

Kaguya, who had subconsciously wanted to deny that it was impossible for a human to live to this day, was suddenly stunned.

Normally, it is indeed impossible for humans to survive for a thousand years.

Unless there are other abnormal factors involved.

And speaking of what happened a thousand years ago, in that era——

"The medicine residue I gave to that human to keep it secret was eaten by that child?"

Originally, it was impossible for humans to obtain the elixir of life.

However, a thousand years ago, after Kaguya and Eirin conspired to kill the messenger who came to welcome her back to the Moon City, because there was another bystander at the scene, she gave the residue left when Eirin refined the Penglai medicine to that bystander, and used it as a medium to restrain him and silence him.

However, that person later seemed to have presented this "elixir of immortality" which could also make humans immortal but had huge side effects to the king he was loyal to, and then destroyed the residue of the medicine under the king's order.

But if there is any factor that has caused humans of that era to survive to this day, the most likely possibility is that drug residue.

"Sister, do you want to go out together tomorrow? She seems to hate you."

It seems like a very contradictory sentence, but when it comes out of Ye Jian's mouth, it seems inexplicably impeccable.

"You knew she hated me, but you still let me meet her?"

Gently pinching Yami's soft cheek, Kaguya teased with a half-smile.

"Because I also know that my sister used to have a very good relationship with her, and her feelings for my sister are actually very complicated."

Because the connection was held by Kaguya, what Ye Jian said seemed a little leaky and unclear.

But Kaguya still understood.

"..."

A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, and Kaguya tightened her arms around Ye Jian's hand slightly. Her calm expression made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Sister, I met an older sister today and promised to take her to walk through the bamboo forest tomorrow to find a place to build a residence. Can you come with me?"

Facing Kaguya like this, Ye Jian just smiled and spoke to her softly, using a different excuse.

"She wants to live in a bamboo forest?"

Hearing this, Kaguya couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"After all, the undead are the most likely to be rejected and coveted by their own kind."

A pair of bright eyes seemed to become even deeper, Ye Jian said softly.

But then, Ye Jian suddenly changed the subject.

"Actually, I was planning to invite that older sister to stay at our house, but because she was embarrassed, I didn't."

"...Should I be thankful that I didn't see someone I thought was dead when I was caught off guard?"

With the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, Kaguya suddenly pinched Ye Jian's delicate little nose and said with a forced smile.

Has Xiaoye become more and more sinister recently? She actually wants to come up with this kind of "surprise".

"Actually, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't necessarily recognize her."

Narrowing his eyes, Ye Jian smiled nonchalantly.

"Hmm, then I'd like to see how much she has changed."

"It will definitely surprise you, sister. But sister, if you can avoid death, please do your best. I will be heartbroken."

"...Xiaoye, did you observe anything strange today?"

"what happened?"

"Otherwise, why is your mouth becoming sweeter and sweeter?"

"?"

......

......

boom!

boom! !

Boom! ! !

The Lost Bamboo Forest, which used to be very quiet and peaceful, is now filled with bursts of explosions and strong impacts.

Countless towering bamboos swayed wildly under the strong wind, and from time to time one could see sparks falling from the sky igniting the entire bamboo.

However, whenever a flame suddenly appeared on the bamboo, it would be accompanied by a flash of cold light and suddenly disappear without a trace.

It was under such circumstances that even though the battle had lasted for some time, the overall environment of the Lost Bamboo Forest remained the same as before the incident.

————Yes, fight.

This is the reason why all these changes happened.

A battle between two immortals, two divine beings.

"Hmm, sister looks so happy."

Standing on the ground and looking up at the two "meteors" in the sky that were colliding and separating again and again, over and over again, each time bringing about terrifying aftermath, Ye Jian sighed.

Although this battle could be described as "very bloody" in every way, he could clearly see the emotions of both parties involved in the fierce battle.

Moreover, for the two undead, Kaguya and Kou, who can be resurrected even after death and whose battle vocabulary does not even have the word "defense", bloodshed is just a daily occurrence.

As for why this happened, there is no particular reason.

They met, recognized each other, and then started fighting.

It's that simple.

"But seeing my sister getting hurt, it really does make me unhappy."

Gently smoothing his bangs that had grown a little long, Ye Jian pouted and couldn't help muttering softly.

"We're from Penglai anyway. Losing a little blood is like exhaling air. Stop worrying about it, you little sister complex person."

Pursing his lips, Ge Jiuye complained.

She would never admit that she was jealous.

Even though Ye Jian is still a child; even though Kaguya is his sister; even though he was even able to kill all his ties for Kaguya; even though he didn't notice at all that his feelings for Kaguya had already gone beyond the ordinary sibling relationship; even though there were various other althoughs————

But she just feels unhappy!

Especially since those guys kept annoying her in her ears, which made her even more upset.

[But I just don't like seeing you guys get hurt.]

While manipulating the small sword formed from part of Yutsuki's body to 'kill' the flames splashing on the bamboo, Yami said.

"Blind concern is just a form of restraint. Do you want your sister to be restrained in battle, resulting in more injuries, or do you want her to fight back and win the battle?"

With his arms folded across his chest, Ge Jiuye lectured him unhappily.

[Concern should be based on the situation. You can't worry about someone's lifespan just because they're breathing.]

【Hmm...】

Ye Jian had nothing to say.

For the people of Penglai, being injured or even dying is just like breathing. Apart from a momentary feeling, it will not have any impact at all.

And speaking of pain, which one of Kaguya and Kou is truly spoiled and can't stand even a little pain?

When pain is just pain and does not cause any other negative effects, pain is just pain.

So Ye Jian suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anything to worry about?

"...When my sister comes back, I'll comfort her."

Sighing, Ye Jian murmured softly.

Although my sister's new clothes are particularly embarrassing, but...sigh.

It's just a momentary shame anyway, it doesn't matter.

Chapter 407 Title: Quack! Women fighting is the best thing to watch!

"She was so cute back then, how come she's so crooked now?"

Gently waving the splendid sword in her hand with silver branches, golden stems and jade fruits, she swatted away the fireball coming towards her. Looking at Meihong who was wrapped in red lotus flames, she shook her head helplessly.

“Ka——Gu——Ya————!!!”

A roar filled with endless hatred and resentment, accompanied by the sound of burning flames, resounded throughout the sky. A pair of wings made of flames suddenly spread out behind Meihong. The next moment, her figure suddenly flashed from several meters away to in front of Kaguya, and she rushed straight towards her with the momentum of destroying herself and the enemy.

boom! ! !

A colorful barrier suddenly rose up and blocked Meihong's path. The moment the two came into contact, it was like a meteorite colliding with the earth. An impact comparable to a typhoon swept up on the spot, disturbing the bamboo forest below and dispersing the clouds drifting in from afar.
