The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Furthermore, according to Oizumi and Awa's descriptions, only the two of them saw the black monster, but nothing happened to them. Was it just good luck?

　But if they were contaminated with poisonous blood or other toxic substances, the soldiers of Haiqi Island would have bathed and cleaned themselves after the incident, or perhaps there were other strange methods involved.

　Just as Xin Hai was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the gate of Coral Palace was suddenly pushed open, and a soldier rushed in, saying urgently, "Reporting, Lord Coral Palace, Lord Goro has discovered the location of that wild boar and has led men to hunt it down."

　Xin Hai was taken aback for a moment, then quickly recovered and said, "Okay, I understand. Where is it? I'll head over there now."

　At this moment, Goro had already led the soldiers of Haiqi Island into a fierce battle. Their target was the wild boar in front of them, which was emitting black smoke. This wild boar was twice the size of an ordinary wild boar. Black smoke emanated from its dark purple skin, which was covered with solidified mud and fine wood chips. Its tusks had turned dark purple due to the constant fighting.

　The wild boar stared at Goro with bloodshot eyes, its front legs pawing the ground incessantly. Goro was very familiar with the habits of these wild animals, and he knew that the wild boar was about to launch a charge attack.

　"Form ranks and advance. The wild boar's attack is simple; it's a straight line. Just dodge it."

　At Goro's command, the rock element condensed into a general's banner and was erected in the path of the boar's charge. The soldiers behind Goro immediately saw that they were covered with a layer of rock element armor. Of course, this was Goro's ability, which, when placed within the Inusaka Bobo Circle Formation, could slightly increase the defense of his teammates.

　The boar rammed its head into the rock elemental construct. Upon hearing Goro's command, the soldiers had already raised their spears. Seeing the boar stunned, they immediately thrust them into it. Several spears left wounds on the boar's body, and dark purple blood gushed out.

　"It's recovering. Keep your distance and be careful not to get splashed with the poisonous blood."

　Goro on one side

　He reminded his subordinates to be careful, while activating the Eye of God, intending to create another rock element artifact.

　Wild boars may look stupid, but if an ordinary person were to be gored by their tusks, they would probably lose half their life.

　The soldiers surrounding the wild boar immediately spread out, waiting for the next attack. The first soldier to attack suddenly felt his hand go limp. He thought it was his imagination, but the next second, his spear clattered to the ground.

　"Are you injured? Step back immediately and wait for treatment. The rest of you, stand guard."

　Goro didn't think twice. The most important thing on the battlefield is to trust your teammates. However, at this moment, the boar had already turned around and charged towards the soldier. Due to the change in formation, the boar quickly split the team into two columns.

　Seeing this, the wild boar turned and charged towards the group that had lost their weapons. Goro immediately released his general's flag to block the boar's path, but unexpectedly, the boar turned halfway and charged to the other side.

　Goro immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, but the situation was urgent, and Goro's arrow did not cause much damage to the wild boar.

　"Spread out and throw with long spears."

　At Goro's command, the soldiers immediately gripped their spears and threw them. The wild boars, emitting black smoke, already knew to dodge the long-handled weapons, raising their heads and using their hard tusks to deflect the spears.

　After scattering the ranks, the boar charged at Goro, but Goro was worried about the wounded. He knew that those who had returned from patrol unconscious were still unconscious.

　Xin Hai had already reached the edge of the scene. Seeing that Wu Lang's attention was not on the wild boar, Xin Hai immediately used water element to create several swordfish and shot them at the wild boar. She didn't need her elemental creations to cause much damage to the wild boar. The most important thing now was to divert the wild boar's attention and save the soldiers.

　"Goro, be careful not to get too close to it. Its black aura is the source of infection. Once you inhale that black stuff, your body will become weak, and then you will lose your mind and become a wild beast that attacks randomly."

　Xin Hai immediately shouted a warning to Goro to be on guard. Goro immediately jumped back, creating some distance, and picked up the spear on the ground, aiming it at the wild boar in front of him.

　As Goro aimed, rock element continued to accumulate on the tip of his gun, forming a layer of fine crystalline rock.

　Aiming at the boar's wound, Goro swiftly hurled his spear. The spearhead, imbued with rock element, shot into the boar's wound, the rock-element-infused weapon piercing through the skin and bone, instantly ending the boar's life.

　On the other side of Ba Yun Island, the debtor kept glancing at the pile of ominous-looking black scales, then at the Fool soldiers lying in front of the scales, and his brows furrowed.

　"They're dead?"

　"Sir, no, but he is extremely weak and is probably very close to death."

　As the debtor surveyed his surroundings, he slowly approached the fallen Fool soldiers and said, "Could it be the problem with these scales? But the color certainly looks ominous."

　Just as the debtor was about to approach the pile of scales, Wind Fist Vanguard suddenly stood up, wind element condensing in his fist. Almost the instant he stood up, his fist was already in front of the debtor.

　Lei Chui, the vanguard soldier standing nearby, also staggered to his feet and raised his hammer to smash the debtor.

　Before the debtor could even figure out what was happening, he was immediately attacked by his own men and hurriedly jumped away. The Thunderfire sorcerer also summoned Thunderfires, which flew over to help the debtor.

　With a flash of fire, the debtor, wielding his sacrificial knife, instantly severed the arms of the Wind Fist Vanguard and the Thunder Hammer Vanguard. The poisonous blood spurting from the wounds made a piercing sound as it was scorched by the flames. The debtor then kicked the two soldiers back with a flying kick.

　After struggling on the ground for a while, the two men stopped moving. The debtor waited for a while, and after they stopped moving, he slowly walked over.

　"Lei Ying, what do you think?"

　"Sir, based on my observation, they appear to be poisoned, and the toxin is extremely potent, beyond the control of ordinary people. It's likely due to that black powder. As for what exactly it is, perhaps only the Doctor knows."

　The debtor squinted, examining the traces left by the four men, and said, "There are no signs of a struggle on the ground, and we didn't see any other creatures' footprints when we came here. That means the four of them discovered this place during their mission, and then something happened."

　"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened."

　"Send a Geo Elemental Eye to collect this black dust, seal it, and deliver it to the Doctor. Tell him we found something magical in Inazuma. As for the four brothers, cremate them."

　"As you command, sir."

　P.S.: This is my first update today! Hurry and shower me with votes!

　PS2: Actually, when I was designing the character, I considered the image of the Black Dragon Princess. Hmm, I'll go train the AI ​​now~

　Volume 1: 018 - New Clothes

　In the end, Ayaka was unable to keep Hikari there. In the brief moment that the group was stunned, Hikari vanished into the shadows and left Narukami Shrine.

　The next day, Ayaka and Yoomiya met up on Hanamisaka Street as usual. They were already quite familiar with Hikari's elusive nature.

　They realized how incredible it was, but now that they knew the nest of light, Ayaka and Yomiya weren't worried about not being able to find it.

　Before long, the two arrived at the foot of the nest located on the cliff. Ayaka used her God's Eye to quickly climb up and take a look. The nest was empty, and it seemed that Hikaru was not at home.

　Earlier, she woke up hungry. She had eaten the octopus she had caught earlier, as she didn't like eating its innards. So, she had to go fishing in the sea. Still half asleep, she slipped off the cliff, jumped into the sea, took a bath, and then floated on the water in search of food.

　The spiny stickleback is a swift fish. An enthusiast once observed a spiny stickleback attacking swaying aquatic plants. These fish have a unique sense of pride, so as long as Guang lies on the surface of the water, fish will actively rush towards him. This is Guang's unique fishing technique!

　Hisaki Shinobu's part-time job today is at Shimura-ya, but on her way there, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of tricks the Arataki gang would pull today. Arataki Ichito's schedule for today should be the same as always: catching kabutoshi, making bets with the kids, and stealing their snacks, but in the end, she would have to return them one by one.

　Akira and Shou were probably cheering and shouting behind Arataki Kazuto.

　As they approached Shimura-ya, Hisaki Shinobu inadvertently caught a glimpse of a little girl out of the corner of his eye. At first glance, Hisaki Shinobu wondered why the little girl was wearing a tattered rag; there couldn't be such irresponsible parents in Inatsuma Castle. But upon closer inspection, Hisaki Shinobu was surprised to discover that the little girl had a tail and horns.

　Just as Hisaki Shinobu was about to continue watching, the little girl suddenly seemed to lose consciousness and fell straight to the ground. Hisaki Shinobu felt pain at the sight and immediately went over to check on the little girl's condition.

　After confirming that the little girl was alright, Hisaki Shinobu picked her up, lifted her into the air, and shouted, "Everyone, does anyone know this child? She's so young, and they don't even dress her. The parents are so irresponsible!"

　Before Shinobu Hisaki could finish speaking, he heard Shimura Kanbei, the owner of Shimura-ya, say from behind, "Shinobu, this child was picked up by Ms. Kamisato, not Inatsume. She is..."

　“Mr. Shimura, I just saw her suddenly faint on the way. By the way, Mr. Shimura, could you please take a day off? I’m worried about the child. I’d like to take her to the clinic.”

　"Okay, go ahead, the old man isn't busy right now. He can come back when he's done."

　After receiving the old man's approval, Hisagi Shinobu immediately carried Hikari to the clinic opened by the Tenryo Magistrate. However, when they arrived at the clinic, the little girl woke up.

　Ayaka and Yoomiya did not find Hikari, and the two returned to Inazuma Castle somewhat discouraged. Based on their previous experience, after finding Hikari this time, it would probably be another three or four days before Hikari reappeared.

　After leaving the desolate sea, the two went to Shimura-ya to get something to eat. However, before they could even order, Ayaka found Hikaru sitting in the shop enjoying his meal. The two immediately sat down next to Hikaru.

　"Xiao Guang, what are you doing here? Boss, what's wrong with her?"

　"Hikari, that's a nice name. She's one of my employees, Shinobu brought her here."

　Following the shopkeeper's gaze, Ayaka saw a green-haired girl with a high ponytail bustling around the shop. Yomiya recognized her and said, "The second-in-command of the Araki Faction, Shinobu Hisaki, is a very reliable girl."

　After finishing with the guests, Hisaki Shinobu wanted to check on Hikari's condition, only to find two people sitting next to her: the White Heron Princess of Inazuma and the Fireworks Queen of Inazuma.

　"Hello, Ms. Hisaki, thank you for bringing Hikari here. We went to look for her this morning but didn't see her for a long time. It turns out she came to Hanamizaka."

　Hisaki Shinobu didn't care and looked at Hikaru stuffing a meat pie into his mouth, saying, "Hikaru, you're probably not human, right?"

　"Hmm, even the High Priest can't say for sure what kind of monster Hikari is. Could something have happened?"

　"Yes and no. When I found her, Xiaoguang seemed to have accidentally lost consciousness, but she was fine after a while. If you can find out the cause, it would be better to resolve it, since it is a potential problem."

　"Okay, thank you, Ms. Hisaki."

　Finally, to Hisagi Shinobu's incredulous gaze, Hikari successfully ate all the food in Shimura-ya. Ayaka was no longer as shy as the first time. After paying at the front desk, she left Shimura-ya with Hikari. Shimura Kanbei happily saw them off and announced that the business would close down.

　Admittedly, it's a good thing that customers show enthusiasm for food, but cooking such a large amount of food in such a short time must have been quite tiring for him.

　After returning to the Kamisato-yashiki, Ayaka searched through her old clothes. With Hikari's size, she could only wear clothes that Ayaka wore when she was a child. However, considering that the little girl had a long, thin tail, Ayaka found her a horse-face skirt from Liyue, with a simple shirt and haori for the upper body.

　At first, Hikari was not used to these light and fluffy things and kept trying to reach out and pull them off, but each time she reached out, Ayaka stopped her. Fortunately, Hikari was very adaptable and soon got used to the light and fluffy fur.

　After all that trouble, Ayaka and Yomiya both

　Sweating profusely, Hikaru sat to the side. The cool sea breeze carried a faint salty smell from the ocean. Ayaka suddenly remembered Yae no Miko's instructions and asked, "Hikaru, are you a youkai?"

　He just tilted his head, looking completely bewildered, with an "O_o" expression, having no idea what Ayaka was talking about.

　“Ayaka, it would be better to teach her to recognize words and speak first. Right now, we are communicating with Hikaru entirely through telepathy.”

　Ultimately, it turned out that simply having one's own set of logic was something that Ayaka and Yomiya couldn't teach.

　At the distant Narukami Shrine, Yae no Miko took a letter from a white dove. This dove was usually used to deliver letters between Yae no Miko and Sango no Kokoro. Yae no Miko read the letter once and her brows furrowed.

　An unknown black monster has appeared on Haiqi Island and is spreading a strange disease; a girl with strange horns and a tail has been found at the port; and the fools on Bayun Island have recently been stirring up trouble.

　None of them seem like good news, but there's one exception.

　Based on the description, Yae no Miko can confirm that the strange child with horns and a tail mentioned by Sango no Kokoro is the Hikari that Ayaka and Yoomiya know. However, Hikari's true identity is unknown, which is a problem.

　The letter also mentions a black powder that, when inhaled, causes creatures to enter a state of irrational rage, fighting incessantly until death. Crucially, an antidote has yet to be found.

　But what does this have to do with the beautiful, intelligent Yae no Miko?

　Two new light novels were released today; I should send them to my otaku girlfriend.

　I wonder how the fried tofu at Wuyouting turned out today.

　Yae no Miko walked briskly away from Narukami Taisha.

　PS: This is the second update today!

　PS2: I caught a cold and wasn't feeling well, so the update is late. I hope you can forgive me~

　PS3: Thank you everyone who voted, and thank you for your support!

　Volume 1: 019 - The Treasure Thieves

　After several days of feeding, Ayaka has sensed that Hikaru is gradually starting to trust her, and of course, the same goes for Yoi-no-miya.

　"Oh, so this is the little girl you mentioned, Ayaka?"

　"Yes, brother, Xiaoguang seems to trust me more now. I plan to teach her language and some basic knowledge later."

　At the dinner table, Ayato Kamisato watched the little girl munching on her cake. Even though he was already full, he couldn't help but feel that he could eat a little more.

　However, just as Yae no Miko said, even if he had actually seen her, he couldn't tell what kind of monster this little girl was. She didn't have the Eye of God. Ordinary people probably wouldn't believe that she had such great power. It's really strange.

　"It really does have a tail and horns, but isn't this the outfit I got as a birthday present?"

　"Yes, brother. Because of Hikari's tail, pants and similar clothes are not suitable, so we chose a comfortable and convenient skirt. As for the haori, Yoomiya thinks it's eye-catching, so if Hikari runs far away again, we can find her at a glance."

　For a baby dragon, life consists of only three things: eating, sleeping, and playing, and now the baby dragon is full.

　"Da~"

　The little girl cried out in her childish voice and tried to run out, but Ayaka grabbed her and wiped her face clean before letting her go. The servants were in charge of the dishes on the table. After Ayaka cleared the table and said goodbye to her brother, she left the Kamisato Mansion with the little girl.

　"Here, look, there's one more."

　Xiaogong tossed the candies one by one to the little girl. The little girl accurately judged which one was closest to her, opened her mouth, bit it, and swallowed it with her cheeks puffed out. The remaining candies were also swallowed by the little girl without any problems.

　Playing with baby dragons is that simple and boring.

　Walking along the path of the White Fox Wilds, the young dragon chased after the Thunder Crystal Butterflies that were flying in the air. However, when the young dragon caught the Thunder Crystal Butterflies, they turned into particles of lightning element and disappeared into the air. The young dragon did not care and continued to chase the lizards on the ground and the crystal butterflies in the air.

　As the little girl played happily, Ayaka and Yomiya followed her to a small path. Here, Ayaka discovered many Hilichurls and treasure-hunting groups stationed there, or abandoned small outposts. Just as Ayaka was about to remind Yomiya and Hikari to be careful, the little girl didn't seem to care. She skipped and hopped to an abandoned wooden box and reached in to pull out some items wrapped in oil paper.

　Seeing the little girl tear open the packaging and about to put it in her mouth, Ayaka immediately became alert. How could there be packaged items in this place? However, Ayaka forgot one thing: how did she find this place in the first place?

　Xiaogong snatched the items away and was about to warn the young girl not to eat things she had picked up when, upon closer inspection, he saw that the oil paper contained packaged smoked poultry, sausages, and bacon.

　Ayaka found some hidden boxes on the other side, containing seasonings, vegetables, cheese, and other items. On top of them were some merchant order forms. Yomiya hurriedly called Ayaka over, and Ayaka immediately realized that this was unusual. It might be the work of those treasure-hunting groups or wandering samurai.

　Just as Xiaogong was about to say something, he suddenly heard shouts coming from all around.

　Linghua quickly pulled the young girl and hid. Xiaogong cautiously looked up; the leader was...

　The burly man, judging from his attire, was probably the leader of the treasure-hunting gang. He wore a mask, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes, and had a long, narrow scar on his right cheek. He looked like a ruthless character.

　The leader of the treasure-hunting gang had several accomplices. For the gang, they would do anything for money: steal, burglary, robbery, and human trafficking. They had no good reputation in society.

　The supplies hidden here were stolen from Inazuma. It was a commission from an employer. Once this job was done, they would be able to live comfortably for at least two or three months, if not six months. However, they were not people who kept their promises. As soon as the leader of the thieving gang had the idea of ​​double-crossing them, they rushed over to prepare to move the supplies.

　Putting aside the Hilichurls, there are also several wandering samurai in the White Fox Fields, so it's not safe to leave these supplies here.

　The young dragon didn't care about any of that. It casually tore open the oil paper and stuffed the sausage and bacon into its mouth. Linghua glanced helplessly at Xiaogong. Xiaogong smiled and took out the Demon-Slaying Bow from the Eye of God. The two of them weren't worried about not being able to defeat this group of treasure hunters, but rather about the safety of the light.

　The thieves followed the rustling sounds and discovered two girls and a child by the wall; some even had wicked ideas.

　"You bitches, how dare you steal our business! I'll break your legs, hehe, we can make a lot of money selling them."

　"Cherry blossom blizzard".
