But didn't she already explain it?!
"Is that so? Did I make a mistake with the others?" The old woman was also taken aback when she saw Reimu Hakurei's puzzled look.
"So what's going on? Why do you suddenly think that way again?" Reimu Hakurei felt she needed to get to the bottom of this.
"Oh, I heard from others that the person who confessed to Xiao Lingmeng used the Dream Seal during a duel with Captain Mingluo at the Grand Martial Arts Arena."
"—This technique is a supernatural power that only the shrine maidens of the Hakurei can learn."
“…Yes, I haven’t taught anyone this move either,” Reimu Hakurei replied after a moment of silence following the words from the other side.
Well, after not seeing him for a while, this guy has even managed to create a Dream Seal. He's definitely not an ordinary person.
—This makes it even more necessary to talk to Yang Xiying.
"So we really made a mistake?"
The old woman didn't know what to say, as it was rather awkward. However, she saw that Reimu Hakurei was conflicted.
"Of course, Xiaolingmeng, you are our regular customer, so no matter what the truth is, I will give you a discount."
"Consider this my apology for misunderstanding."
"Oh, really? Thank you, ma'am. I'll definitely come back from now on."
Reimu Hakurei immediately beamed with joy. Her dilemma was that if her supposed marriage was fake, the other party wouldn't give her a discount.
After all, she is indeed short of money right now. To be honest, shouldn't she really find a reliable man?
……
"Mingluo, tell me where Yang Xiying is living now?" After buying the groceries, Reimu Hakurei approached Mingluo again.
“This is his address,” Mingluo gave Yang Xiying’s current address directly to Hakurei Reimu, thinking to herself that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
After fighting with Yang Xiying yesterday, she was quite shocked by what the audience said. It's quite something to confess to so many women in Gensokyo in one go.
Moreover, judging from how Yang Xiying used Reimu Hakurei's Void Hole and Dream Seal, it really seemed to work.
This prompted her, who had recently been reading romance novels, to suddenly conceive of a complex love story. She had intended to ask Yang Xiying for details, but then…
"Excuse me, I have something else to attend to, so please excuse me."
After the competition, Yang Xiying collected her prize money and disappeared. It's unknown whether she's still living there.
In short, we can only hope he has good luck now.
Minglu felt that Reimu Hakurei finding Yang Xiying's address was just the beginning...

No. 24 Age is not the key to victory!
"Hehe, are you walking this way? My fiancée."
"So you've become bolder because you have Yukari Yakumo as your backer? You even dare to talk to me like that?"
Using the address given by Mingluo, Reimu Hakurei found Yang Xiying's address, and when she arrived at his door, the door opened directly.
The first thing that catches the eye is Yang Xiying sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, and his words that make people unable to hold back.
Her calm demeanor, even knowing that her madness had been exposed, reminded Hakurei Reimu of Yakumo Yukari.
After all, the fact that she had warned her not to contact Yang Xiying last time meant that the two of them already had an unspeakable relationship.
"...After all, this is due to public opinion from the newspapers, and the guy who made this thing is a bit too fast, so there's no chance to clarify."
Yang Xiying snapped her fingers and closed the door, as if she already knew that Reimu Hakurei was looking for her, since those things had been widely circulated outside.
Confessing to all sorts of girls in Gensokyo, and if you keep doing that, all the girls you're supposed to confess to might come knocking on your door.
And now one of the parties involved, Reimu Hakurei, has arrived, thanks to the things that were revealed during yesterday's tournament, which added fuel to the fire.
"So now I can only play along and be a good husband who can satisfy Reimu and the public."
Yang Xiying spoke with a serious and righteous tone.
"Is this your way of thinking, like Marisa's, from eating too many fungi?" This made Reimu Hakurei a little flustered.
“But since you’ve said that, then give me a dowry of 100,000 first,” Reimu Hakurei said, suddenly stretching out her hand.
“Okay, here’s your betrothal gift,” Yang Xiying stood up and quickly went to Hakurei Reimu, pulling out a wad of banknotes.
"When is the wedding ceremony?"
"No way, you actually gave it to me!" Reimu Hakurei exclaimed in surprise. So, are all guys who can pull out gold ingots really that rich?!
"—Besides, who gives such a large dowry for a wedding?"
"Huh?" Yang Xiying was taken aback. Was a dowry of 100,000 yen a lot? It was less than a tenth of what he lived in!
"Is this a lot?" And this was only a third of what he earned from fighting in the arena yesterday; however, such windfalls don't come often...
"You...!" Reimu Hakurei looked at Yang Xiying in disbelief. Now she was certain that this guy was rich.
"...No! I have no intention of marrying you!" Reimu Hakurei stammered, her face turning slightly red.
—She actually wavered after Yang Xiying turned out to be a rich guy!
"And you know you shouldn't flaunt your wealth?! Aren't you afraid I'll rob you?!" The shrine maiden added at the end.
"Ha, then take it if you want. Money can be earned again, and it's only natural for a husband to earn money to support the family."
Yang Xiying responded cheerfully, adding that the prevailing opinion was that she and Reimu Hakurei had tied the knot, and she would not clarify this unless she had the opportunity.
If you pay someone and they don't acknowledge it, then it's not him who's in the wrong.
"...You're completely unreasonable. I don't want your money, and I don't want to marry you."
Reimu Hakurei's expression turned annoyed.
“But it’s really hard to deal with the rumors outside this way,” Yang Xiying said with a troubled look, while Reimu Hakurei pouted.
"So you're thinking of marrying all the women who confessed to you before because of these rumors? You're dreaming."
“I will work towards that goal,” Yang Xiying said seriously, while Reimu Hakurei suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"It's admirable that you keep harping on this, but you should also know what kind of junk the dishes you've listed are."
"They won't be affected by this rumor. At most, they'll beat you and the crow who published this newspaper up."
"—So you came here to lie to me?"
"I'm so stunned by your thought process that I don't even have the strength left," Reimu Hakurei said weakly.
"Shall we come in for a cup of tea now? But this place is a bit small, let's find a restaurant outside to chat instead."
"I don't want to be stared at with strange looks, and I only came to you to confirm some things."
"Speaking of which, with such widespread rumors outside, how dare you still stay here?" Because of Yang Xiying's timid appearance before, Reimu Hakurei thought that Yang Xiying would hide away to avoid the limelight.
After all, his approach to Yang Xiying was likely just the beginning.
"Because there's no need to hide," Yang Xiying said confidently, even though those comments might attract more attention from her in the future.
But he had no intention of hiding... or rather, when Yang Xiying realized this, she panicked and wanted to run away immediately!
After all, most of the girls in Gensokyo are the type who are quick to challenge you to a duel, and he doesn't yet have the strength to handle them.
Therefore, Yang Xiying did indeed have the idea of hiding, at least until the cooldown time for the martial artist's substitute fighting ended.
But where to hide is also a problem, because I've been engrossed in studying lately and don't know many people in Gensokyo. Taiga? He has a wife and kids at home.
We can't drag their whole family into this, Captain Mingluo. They only had a fight, and wouldn't that just drag her into the mess as well?
Yang Xiying now deeply understands what it means to 'cultivate oneself to become a beggar through hardship, and then become a great hero through casual strolls'—she knows too few people!
Oh, and there's another youkai I know, the beautiful and kind-hearted Yakumo Yukari, who I had 60 points of affection with from the start.
Although this woman has always been cunning and shrewd, she's the only person we can rely on right now.
Moreover, she herself demonstrated the activation of Eden, so the other side shouldn't be too upset, after all, she is a divine being who would kneel before Watatsuki Toyohime for the sake of Gensokyo.
In short, Yang Xiying and Yakumo Yukari came up with a solution: she could help with dangerous beings like Kazami Yuuka and Flandre.
But Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame are people you can handle yourself, since they are all normal people you can get along with.
Moreover, it would be good to take this opportunity to expand one's network, especially with Reimu Hakurei, who is, after all, the strongest person in Gensokyo on the surface.
—Getting on good terms with her, or even marrying her, would undoubtedly give you the strongest backing.
So Yang Xiying stayed at home obediently, and didn't even hide when Hakurei Reimu came, but it wouldn't be good to directly mention Yakumo Yukari.
“After all, what I said is true, and Miss Hakurei isn’t such a scary person,” Yang Xiying said.
"Besides, if I were to avoid you now, it would only damage your reputation even more, like you were deceived by a scumbag like me."
"Or perhaps someone so shameless that they insist on clinging to a guy who's juggling multiple relationships. Of course, if you don't like that kind of talk."
“I can also help you beat up the guy who made this thing to vent your anger,” after all, she was the one who started this whole thing.
"You? That guy is a great youkai who has lived for over a thousand years," Reimu Hakurei said with a disdainful sneer.
“Some cats have lived for tens of thousands of years and all they can do is hiss,” Yang Xiying smiled and then replied to the person opposite her.
"Age is not the key to victory or defeat. For example, Miss Hakurei, you look no more than seventeen or eighteen years old now."
"—Or perhaps you have already learned the art of preserving youth."
"Tch, so you're so eloquent that you must be amazing? Come to think of it, I have heard that you defeated Mingluo."
"—She still used my signature move, Dream Seal," Reimu Hakurei now wondered where Yang Xiying had learned this move from.
"Did Zi teach you this?"
PS: First update.
P.S.: I'd like to recommend a book, the legendary new work by Retro Windmill Wan, the author of "Moe Girl Guardians"!
NO.25 The true meaning of Eden activating his talent!
“No, that’s my own power,” Yang Xiying shook her head when Reimu Hakurei asked.
"Didn't you question my frail appearance before, yet I unleashed tremendous power upon arrival? After this period of training..."
"I've figured out some tricks, and when faced with a life-threatening situation, I can display a rather peculiar power."
"It's like acquiring other people's powerful techniques, such as your Dream Seal, Miss Hakurei, but my trait works sometimes and sometimes."
“So you begged for mercy last time because you didn’t unleash your full power to stall for time,” Reimu Hakurei retorted directly, to which Yang Xiying responded in kind.
"I told you that even if I had the power, I wouldn't do anything to Gensokyo," at most I'd just have to fight you guys.
—But in Gensokyo, if you fight, you become friends.
"Heh, you can make Gensokyo so lively even when you're powerless. I can't even imagine what you'll be like when you're powerful."
—Reimu Hakurei pouted, then changed the subject.
"That's fine then. Now that I know why you dream of sealing, there's no need for me to stay here."
"If any incidents occur in Gensokyo in the future, I will come to you to see if you can really help me."
"Huh? You're just going back like that? We haven't even come up with a solution to these rumors yet," Yang Xiying said, taken aback.
—They've already left?
"I've already said that those rumors don't affect us much, and the more you explain these things, the more complicated it becomes. If we leave them alone, they'll naturally dissipate."
"Oh...I see," Yang Xiying was taken aback. This girl seemed to have a pretty open mind, so he really didn't need to worry.
"—By the way, are you really not planning to take this money?"
