The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

"I do have some things that I need someone to help me release. I originally wanted to ask Xiaoye, but as the Dragon God, she already has a lot to do every day. As for Xiaoxi, she has no experience, and I'm afraid I might hurt her. Huo Qing'e is a guest and it's not good to trouble her. Xiaohong and Meiling are okay, but as for her..."

"Wait, Hong Meiling?"

Kazami Yuuka interrupted him with a very strange expression.

"You even included her in your shortlist?"

"Eh? Anything wrong?"

The person looked completely bewildered.

“In the past, I gave her special training in this area, and she was able to complete it quickly and well every time, much better than Huo Qing’e.”

"........."

"Ah... I guess I should ask Heng'e for help later. She'd probably be happy to help..."

"I have no problem with this kind of thing."

Kazami Yuuka interrupted him once again.

"Eh? Thanks a lot then!!"

Upon receiving a positive answer from Kazami Yuuka, Shi Bai's eyes lit up, and he handed a diamond axe to her.

"There's a grove of trees about 20 miles east of the town. They have a very special species of trees. Could you please cut down a few trees for me?"

"...What is this helping you release?"

"Free up my hands and feet so I can finish the house extension today, okay?"

"……nothing."

P.S.: Good morning!

Chapter Thirteen: I heard that the Emperor and Cao Cao are a better match!

The heavens have a top.

"That's strange, where did all the peaches go?"

Looking at the empty peach orchard in front of him, Shi Bai was taken aback. After the bag of peaches he brought back received unanimous praise, he planned to come back and pick a few more peaches to take back.

To be fair, those peaches did taste really good, otherwise he wouldn't have come back here again. But just a few days ago the forest was full of peaches, how come there are not a single one left today?

Although there are no restrictions on other celestial beings entering or leaving the peach grove on ordinary days, due to the sword in the stone located in the peach grove, almost no celestial beings visit here except on certain special holidays.

"Could it be that someone has discovered a business opportunity in these peaches? Tsk... Without peaches, it'll be hard to explain when we get back..."

Looking at the large bag in his hand, Shi Bai had a conflicted expression on his face.

Just then, a slight rustling sound came from beneath his feet. As he wondered what was happening, a thin net shimmering with a faint blue light swept up from the ground and enveloped him completely.

"Uh……"

Looking down at the fine net that enveloped his entire body, Shi Bai's lips twitched slightly.

Just as this obviously carefully placed trigger trap was activated, a girl who was lazily sleeping on a large rock under a waterfall, with her head resting on her hand, suddenly sat up and turned her head to look intently in a certain direction.

"Finally caught you!! Even immortals would need half a day to break free from the net woven from celestial silkworm silk. This time, there's no way you can escape!!!"

Ever since she suffered a loss in the peach grove, Bina Mingju Tianzi, who had never suffered a loss in her life, had been holding a grudge. No one had ever dared to tease her like that before. With her excessive pride and ego, she had been planning her revenge for a long time.

Fortunately, the Celestials' daily lives were quite leisurely, giving her enough patience to set traps.

She had secretly gone to the peach grove alone to see if she could pull out the sword in the stone. As for the legendary sacred object that no one had ever been able to pull out, the emperor naturally had some thoughts about it as well.

Although she is called a delinquent Amanto by others, and even though she seems completely unconcerned about the title, she has enough confidence in her own abilities and deep down she harbors a rather daring idea.

—She wanted to become the leader of the Celestials.

Unlike the Heavenly Court structure on the Immortals' side, the power structure on the Celestials' side is composed of a Supreme Court called the Celestial Arbitration Court. This Supreme Court, called the Celestial Arbitration Court, rules over the entire Celestial race. For example, the Bina Mingju clan was able to become Celestials because they passed the ruling of this Supreme Court, the Celestial Arbitration Court.

The Supreme Court consists of a Supreme Judge and twelve other arbitrators. Apart from the Supreme Judge, whose true identity has never been known to anyone, the other twelve arbitrators are all the most respected and virtuous members of the entire Celestial Beings group.

The Celestial Arbitration Court, the highest court, governs the entire Top Heaven.

The daily work of the celestial beings in You Ding Tian, ​​the arrangements for festivals and holidays, and the handling of various matters, large and small, are all decided by the Supreme Court.

The dream that resided in the emperor's heart, a dream that would be a laughing stock if spoken aloud, was to replace the chief judge.

—Although, given the current situation, the possibility of her realizing this dream is almost zero.

In about a few months, it will be the annual celebration at Youdingtian. The sword-drawing ceremony in Peach Blossom Forest will be a very important event at this celebration.

According to a message from the highest court of celestial arbitration, whoever can pull out that sword will become a candidate for the next Supreme Judge.

The one who pulls out that sword will become king!

Since the emperor, whose ambitions were so inflated that he harbored a dream, naturally he would take a series of actions to pursue it. For example, he might secretly come here to try to draw the sword, or see if he could tamper with it...

However, when she tried to draw her sword last time but failed, she was inexplicably attacked with a peach pit by someone, and was then teased by that guy. After returning, the emperor, after much agonizing reflection, devised a series of revenge plans.

For example, spending a lot of time overnight to pick all the peaches from every single peach tree in the peach orchard, and then setting up traps in dozens of locations throughout the orchard where the other party might pass by...

In terms of execution, she was absolutely ruthless, spending several days picking all the peaches... Although she was mainly bored, her desire for revenge still remained.

When the emperor arrived at the now-empty peach grove, he was able to find the despicable bastard who had been captured by the Heavenly Net.

"Did you do this?"

Even after being captured by her, the person who simply sat cross-legged in the net remained completely calm. After she finally arrived, he even had the leisure to point to the empty peach tree next to him.

Where did you put all those peaches?

"Hmph, these things don't seem to be the point, do you even know who you've offended?"

He recognized the man in front of him at a glance as the one who had been rude to him that day. He snorted coldly and stood in front of the man with an icy expression.

"If you want me to let you go, you'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hmm... okay, it was wrong of me to throw the peach pit at you that day. I didn't know there would be someone under the tree."

With one hand supporting his head on his lap, the man in front of him nodded quite readily after seemingly thinking for a moment.

"But didn't I apologize to you afterwards? What, that top hat didn't suit your taste?"

"Pah! Who wants that hideous hat?!"

For some reason, her face inexplicably flushed red, even more so than when the emperor spoke fiercely.

"You think you can get my forgiveness with that hideous hat? Don't you think that's a bit too far-fetched?"

"So what do you want me to do?"

The man in front of her rolled his eyes, seemingly speechless.

"Why don't you throw peach pits at me too? As the saying goes, if you hit me with one peach pit, you hit me with ten peach pits in return. That would be my way of showing my sincerity."

"No, I would never do such a crude thing... I want you to obediently become my servant and be at my beck and call!!"

With his hands on his hips, he appeared much more resolute than the emperor himself.

"From now on, you'll do whatever I ask you to do. If I ask you to beat someone up, you'll beat someone up. If I ask you to do something for me, you'll do it. If I ask you to do something for me..."

Where did you put all those peaches you picked?

The man in front of me seemed quite persistent about the answer to this question.

"Tch... I piled them all up in a cave twenty miles to the south. My Yun isn't here... You, how did you get out?"

The emperor suddenly began to stammer.

"Just twist it around, it's super easy."

She shrugged nonchalantly, and after waving at her, the man turned and left without looking back.

"Ah, thank you for the peaches. Picking them from tree to tree is quite a lot of work."

"...Wait a minute, don't you feel angry?"

Seeing that the man in front of him was just as generous as the others before, and was about to turn and leave without arguing with him, the emperor felt a deep sense of disappointment welling up in his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but call out to him.

"Huh? Why would I be angry?"

Upon hearing this, the black-haired man in front of him turned his head around with a puzzled expression.

"Because I picked all the peaches you wanted and even set a trap here to catch you!!!"

"Uh... so what? You want me to beat you up?"

The man's expression suddenly became quite strange.

"Even fighting would be fine!! But to just do it so quietly... never mind, I used to think you would be different from the other Celestials, but now it seems we're all the same."

Before he could finish a sentence, the emperor waved his hand, looking unusually dejected and listless.

"This utterly boring celestial realm has absolutely no vitality whatsoever... What are you doing!?"

He covered his head with his hand and stared wide-eyed at the black folding fan that had appeared in the man's hand.

"You said it yourself, I'll beat you up."

With a slight pursed lip, the man in front of her crossed his arms and leaned against a nearby peach tree.

"Tell me a little about your situation, and I might be able to offer you a few suggestions."

"........."

……………………………………………………………

Celestial beings are perfect and flawless beings.

However, there are absolutely no perfect beings in this world. Even if celestial beings possess the noblest virtues and sufficient rationality, they generally lack sufficient emotional intelligence.

For Hinana, the Heavenly Prince, who ascended from mortal to celestial being, this feeling was especially profound.

Generally speaking, if one wants to become a celestial being from a human, one needs to undergo continuous and arduous cultivation, eventually seeing through the illusions of the mortal world and resolving past grievances before having even the slightest chance or possibility of becoming a celestial being.

The emperor, on the other hand, skipped the necessary process for becoming a celestial being and directly reached the end.

This is not a good thing, at least not for her.

In the eyes of the emperor, the lives of the celestial beings were as boring as an ancient well that remained calm and untouched by any falling leaves. The monotony of the days was simply unbearable for her at her age.

She wanted to change the stagnant life of the Celestials, but she didn't know how to start. At her age, she hadn't seen much of the world and was not suitable to become a Celestial. She even deeply resented her suddenly long and distant lifespan.

She has been in the Heavenly Realm for three years now, but she can describe everything that has happened in those three years in a single sentence.

The scene was completely still, like a stagnant pool, which filled her with despair... especially when she realized that her family members were gradually moving closer to the true form of the Celestials.

The choice was either to change the world or be changed by it. The emperor chose the former and became a villain in the eyes of the people.

Here in the Celestial Realm, she had no playmates, no friends, and no one she could talk to. Even if she deliberately caused trouble, she would never get a satisfactory response from the other celestial beings.

—All the celestial beings generously forgave her, because it wasn't worth arguing with her over such a trivial matter.

The celestial realm, with its towering peaks and the lack of human warmth, left her feeling utterly lonely, empty, and cold.

Soon, even the most beautiful woman could no longer find a companion to talk to on a daily basis. This kind of life made her feel extremely disgusted and repulsed from the bottom of her heart.

...But no matter what, she absolutely did not want to be changed or assimilated by this world.

"So, after finally encountering someone who dares to provoke you, you can't wait to add some new excitement to your stagnant life?"

After listening to the story told by the emperor, Shi Bai's lips twitched inexplicably.

"I mean, which bored idiot would do something as outrageous as picking all the peaches in the entire peach orchard? Thank you for solving a mystery that has been troubling me."

"But so what? There's no hope for You Dingtian here."

The emperor looked utterly dejected.

"Everyone's life is like a stagnant pool, without any ripples. Even with a wicked celestial being like me, it's no use, because those celestial beings simply don't care about what I do."

"No, no, no, that's because you don't know how to take responsibility."

Shi Bai held up a finger in front of him and shook it with a serious expression.

"You don't even dare to bomb their houses, you don't dare to extort money, you can't even rob people on the street, you can't do anything, and you dare to call yourself a 'Bad Celestial Being'? You should apologize to all the bad guys in the world, you bastard!!!"

Emperor: "???"
