"Sorry, it was just a conditioned reflex."

After offering a half-hearted apology, Lady casually let go of his hand.

"However, if you can really get rid of those troublesome people for me, I might consider repaying you with my body."

"There's no need for you to repay me with your body, just promise me that you'll take care of me from now on, Mom!"

Someone pounded their chest loudly.

"I'll protect that silly little girl 9!!"

"........."

Having probably noticed their situation, the monsters exchanged glances and then approached them with ill intent.

Seeing this, the other monsters also wisely made way, all waiting to see what would happen.

This gathering of powerful yokai also served as a way to settle old scores. Lady, a powerful snow woman, had taken over the Lake of Mist by herself, and it would be a lie to say that the other yokai were not tempted, especially since Lady herself was exceptionally beautiful.

She is both beautiful and powerful. In this area, there are quite a few monsters pursuing Lady, the snow woman. The few who stand out are just the ones who have gone too far.

In the past, Lady's admirers would naturally step in to resolve such matters for her. However, given that a pretty boy had suddenly appeared next to their goddess, naturally no monster would choose to stand up at this time.

"Kid, if you've got the guts, step forward and let's fight to the death."

The leading monster beckoned to Shi Bai with his finger, his words full of contempt, and without any polite formalities, he directly challenged him.

In the world of monsters, the rules are actually very simple; there is only one.

Power determines everything!

"They are five brothers who claim they will do everything together, so be careful."

Lady's voice quietly reached his ears, her words filled with obvious disgust.

"Even in a one-on-one situation, they claim that the five brothers are one, which is extremely shameless, and their ability to protect themselves is also extremely strong. If you need help, just call me; there's no need to be polite with them."

Although she didn't have a specific understanding of Shi Bai's strength, if he was able to defeat her so easily before, then defeating these five in front of her would definitely not be a problem.

"Hmm... one-on-one or a group fight?"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai looked at the five burly men lined up in front of him.

For the time being, he couldn't find any differences between the other party and humans, so he couldn't determine what kind of monster it was.

However, the other person's body was extremely burly, with bulging muscles all over his body, and he was several meters tall, much taller than him... It's just a pity that he was too ugly, and he was completely bald, so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.

“A one-on-one duel, but we five brothers are one body.”

After cracking his knuckles, the muscular, bald man at the head of the group grinned maliciously.

"Of course, you can also choose to gang up on me. Although we can't kill people here on Monster Mountain, we can still beat you half to death."

"Beaten half to death..."

Shi Bai nodded thoughtfully.

"Fine, then I'll reluctantly beat you half to death. It's not your fault you're ugly, but it is your fault for being ugly and then going out to scare people... I guess I'm doing this to rid the world of a menace?"

Someone sighed.

How strong is he right now? To be honest, Shi Bai doesn't really have a clear idea of ​​it, because he has too many and too varied abilities.

He can use Flying Thunder God Technique, make Rasengan, perform Bankai, use Rokushiki, practice martial arts, use magic, use Word Power, drink water, use Kamehameha, use Kaioken, lift a road roller... and even use Starburst Healing Slash.

—Countless.

Because he's never had a benchmark to measure himself against, he feels like he's like Saitama, able to tackle any problem with a single punch...

In his rare moment of seriousness, the time it took him to deal with the five great demons who were enraged by his words was... less than a second to be precise.

What seems like a moment to others appears far too long to him.

So much so that when those five cannon fodder collapsed with a thud, everyone present was stunned and didn't even have time to react. After all, in the blink of an eye, those five guys had fallen down, and no one could even process what was happening.

Upon witnessing this scene, at least ten monsters were so shocked that they spat out the wine they were drinking.

After putting themselves in their shoes for a moment, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

"This, this is all your strength? That's..."

Lady stared wide-eyed at the man who turned away with a bored expression. Due to her shock, she stammered slightly.

"They're not worthy of me using my full strength. They're too weak; there's absolutely no comparison."

Shi Bai shook his head with a sigh.

"Each generation is worse than the last..."

"...So you were just kidding me back then?"

Lady's expression was slightly stiff.

She initially thought that even if the other person was stronger than her, they wouldn't be by much, since they had fought each other fairly evenly back then. But judging from what just happened... the other person was just messing with her, damn it!

"I just suddenly wanted to turn on the air conditioning at that moment... and I think I told you a long time ago that I'm very strong, right? It's just that you didn't believe it."

Rolling his eyes, Shi Bai found a table at the edge and sat down.

"Then why didn't you explain it to me in detail? I still thought... I thought... I thought..."

She had only spoken halfway when Lady herself became dejected, and for a long time she couldn't finish her sentence.

"No wonder you refused back then..."

"Reject what?"

Shi Bai looked slightly puzzled.

"...It's nothing. Do you have any good wine? I'd like to have a drink today."

For some reason, Lady's mood was noticeably more depressed than before.

"Huh? You're not drinking Sprite anymore?"

"...I won't drink. Sprite won't make me drunk."

Why do you want to get drunk?

"sleep."

Lying on the table, Lady spoke in a muffled voice.

P.S.: I caught a cold, so I'm adding an extra chapter.

Chapter 5 The Loli's Forceful Kiss

For people who don't socialize, this kind of banquet can be quite boring.

Perhaps realizing that Shi Bai was not someone to be trifled with, no other monsters stepped forward. Lady might have initially wanted to talk to others, but now she was drinking alone in silence.

Actually, her initial idea was quite simple: to take advantage of this gathering of great demons to have someone announce something to the other demons in order to sever their desire for her. Her earlier offer of herself in return was not a lie.

She prefers a peaceful life and abhors conflict; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to live alone at the secluded Misty Lake. Therefore, her requirements for companions naturally reflect this standard, reflecting her own set of criteria.

—Strength, appearance, and personality are all indispensable.

She had already found a pretty perfect candidate, but after witnessing the terrifying strength that someone displayed, Lady, who originally thought that the other party was only slightly stronger than herself, suddenly became a little depressed.

This frustration can be attributed to a combination of factors, including shock, regret, and anger—it's a complex situation.

Shi Bai naturally had no idea how complicated the other party's feelings were at this moment, or rather, he hadn't thought about it at all. Instead, he began to observe the great demons who had come to participate in the banquet.

He hadn't forgotten that the shrine he was planning to build was still missing a shrine maiden, so he intended to bring one back with him...

Now that you're back, aren't you going to come and sit down for a bit?

As a pleasant voice suddenly rang out, a figure sat down beside him, his words carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Or do you think our Tengu clan doesn't like you?"

How did you know I was here?

Turning his head to look at the black-haired girl beside him, Shi Bai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in slight surprise.

"Mount Yokai is my territory, so it's not surprising that I know this, is it?"

She glared at him with dissatisfaction, seemingly feeling thirsty, or perhaps trying to hide something, before picking up a bottle of wine from the table and drinking it, while giving a mumbled reply.

"I sensed the presence of the jade pendant I gave you... your friend?"

She gestured to Lady across the table.

"Hmm, Aunt 9 who lives over at the Misty Lake... what can I do for you?"

Shi Bai nodded.

"Since you are his friend, then you are also a friend of our Tengu clan. From now on, the Youkai Mountain will always be open to you. If you need anything, you can come to us. Welcome to the Tengu clan as a guest."

Without waiting for a reply, the black-haired girl said this to the somewhat bewildered Lady, then pulled Shi Bai to his feet.

"I have some personal business to discuss with him now, so I'll have to stay and see you later."

"Uh……"

Without uttering a single word, Lady just stood there dumbfounded, watching as her pre-booked boyfriend was suddenly pulled away by a black-haired girl.

It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but the black-haired girl's aura was simply too intimidating, naturally exuding an air of superiority.

"Why be so domineering? It's like nobody cares about him..."

Slightly indignant, Lady grabbed another bottle of wine and muttered resentfully to herself. However, before she could even take a sip, she suddenly remembered what the black-haired girl had said and turned around in surprise to look in the direction they had left.

"The being capable of uttering such words... the Heavenly Demon of the Youkai Mountain?!"

..................................................................

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidnapping me? Can't you just say what you want to say here?"

The person being pulled forward by the black-haired girl in front of him looked helpless.

Although so many years have passed, he still recognized the other party at a glance. It was the Tenma, the supreme leader of the Tengu clan, whose name was... probably Hirain Hana.

"Really? But it's best to do this kind of thing in a quiet place."

The black-haired girl left without turning her head, uttering those words.

"Wait a minute, so what exactly is it that needs to be kept from others?"

"You'll see when you get there; no patrolling tengu will pass through that place."

"Could you be more specific? Your vague answers are making me unsure."

"It's something very important; you should have come to me sooner."

"...So what exactly do you mean by 'very important things'?"

"A very important thing means a very important thing."

"........."

The banquet was held in the early evening. When he went up the mountain, there was still a faint red glow on the horizon, but now, night had quietly fallen.

Finally, the black-haired girl led him to a rocky platform that jutted out from the forest.

A gentle evening breeze rustles through the trees, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"Is this the place you brought me to last time?"

Looking around, Shi Bai seemed slightly surprised.

"Okay, now you can tell me, what exactly is it... what are you doing?"

Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him who pressed her cheek against his heart and hugged him, Shi Bai was speechless.

"do not move."

Frowning, the black-haired girl looked up and glared at him.

"........."

Shi Bai decided to pretend to look around at the scenery.

About three minutes later, the black-haired girl finally let go of his hand and stood up straight, her expression quite complicated as she looked at him.
