"...!" Reimu Hakurei looked resentful. This guy kept saying things that were trying to sway her mind, damn it!
“Then I’ll come to your place next time to offer prayers and throw some money in,” Yang Xiying suddenly changed her mind. “I also need to go out and about more during this time.”
The saying "to become a beggar through ascetic practices and a great hero through leisurely strolls" is not just a joke. Now, when he encounters some public opinion problems, there are very few people he can ask for help from.
Although one can achieve this by cultivating and becoming stronger, surpassing everything on one's own, cultivation also requires nurturing one's character.
Now, because he is caught up in the center of the scandal, his mind is in turmoil, like a tsunami or a landslide, which is not conducive to reading and cultivating his inner strength.
Therefore, he now needs to spend some time on other things, such as forging, clothing making, alchemy, or playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Moreover, these factors also affect the learning of certain martial arts, such as the internal energy technique of "no sound when the strings are cut," which requires mastering a certain level of musical skill.
—Now it's time for him to try out Master Yuwen's social skills.
"I see. Then do as you please, just don't cause trouble for the people here," Reimu Hakurei said before taking her leave.
"See? I told you Reimu was easy to talk to."
After Reimu Hakurei left, the room fell silent, but soon a new sound rang out as Yukari Yakumo poked half of her body out from the gap.
“That’s true,” Yang Xiying replied, while also expressing her gratitude, “Thank you for your guidance, Miss Bayun.”
“Oh dear, it’s a win-win situation to make you owe me a favor,” Yakumo Yukari replied with a smile, while Yang Xiying responded directly.
"So how do you want me to pay you back?" He didn't want to live off someone forever, but the other person replied directly, "How about you become the God of War in Gensokyo?"
"In that case, the rumors about you and Reimu will be dispelled. After all, you are a martial god, so it's only natural that you would know things like dream sealing and dream innate ability."
"Aren't you afraid I'll be punished by the heavens if you ask me to impersonate a god?" Yang Xiying pouted, while Yakumo Yukari spoke without any concern.
"Anyway, this is just a god we made up, and over the years this god has not shown any power because of people's faith."
"Isn't it very suitable for you? Besides, those books are all yours, and you've already studied about a quarter of them."
"If you learn all of these things, it's only a matter of time before the people of the Human Village connect you with the God of War."
"They might think you are the reincarnation of the God of War, so even if I don't ask you to do it, you will become the God of War."
"It doesn't really count as repaying my favor, so what I just said doesn't count. You should wait until I've thought it through before you repay my favor."
"Of course, this is not something that goes against the code of the martial arts world, nor is it something that Brother Yang cannot achieve."
"Then let's talk about it when you've thought it through. However, it's a matter for the locals to recognize me as a god of war in the future, so there's no need for me to do that."
Yang Xiying responded.
"Alright, speaking of which, Brother Yang has indeed become much stronger now. Does your promise to help me still stand?"
“…Of course it counts,” Yang Xiying suddenly remembered the special reward that Yakumo Yukari had mentioned before, and then asked.
"—But what do you need my help with?"
"I spent some time exploring the outside world of Gensokyo before, hoping to see if there are any scattered Heavenly Books left outside."
"We found a few books," Yakumo Yukari said, opening a gap in front of Yang Xiying, from which several books immediately emerged.
"Flaming Tornado", "Flame Kabuki", "Typhoon Hand Chop", "Martial God Ninjutsu (Kai)"
"…!" Yang Xiying was stunned for a moment when she saw all of these, then asked, "Are these all for me?"
"Of course, I told you before that I would help you collect the books, right? I've almost collected all the books from Gensokyo up to the foot of the Martial God Statue."
"That's what Yukari Yakumo said."
"I haven't collected the area outside Gensokyo in detail, so I have a question now: how many Heavenly Books are there, and how widely are they scattered?"
"Especially the extent of their distribution; I can find them both inside and outside Gensokyo. In other words, these books are scattered all over the earth."
"But is that really the case? On the moon? Mars, even the sun, these places should also be within the areas you mentioned, right?"
"Miss Yakumo, are you asking me if I have a method to retrieve the secret manual?" Yang Xiying seemed to have understood what the other person was saying.
"Well..."
Speaking of this, Yang Xiying also had some troubles. First of all, he didn't have something like the Dragon Ball radar to pinpoint the exact location of the scattered books.
He would know that the books in Gensokyo are only there because he crossed the boundary and brought himself here—there are things related to him.
"All I can say is to get stronger. As long as you're strong, even if the book is inside the sun, you can just smash it to pieces."
Therefore, Yang Xiying can only go all out now. There will always be a way to become stronger, and as long as she stays alive, she will have more time.
"Haha, that's certainly a straightforward approach," Yukari Yakumo chuckled. "But considering what happened to Brother Yang in just half a month—"
"If you grow to the point where you can defeat Miss Mingluo, then it's not impossible for you to destroy the sun."
"But then again, what would you do if those manuals were scattered in a world other than Gensokyo, Brother Yang?"
"—Destroy those worlds?"
“That’s a bit extreme,” Yang Xiying said with a slight smirk, but after hearing what Yakumo Yukari said, he finally understood the significance of Eden’s activation.
This thing wasn't activated to destroy the scattered books, because as Dahe had said before, these books were simply impossible to destroy.
This made Yang Xiying realize that these books probably wouldn't be destroyed even if the Earth, the universe, or even the multiverse were destroyed.
Therefore, Eden's activation is a means for the system to collect scattered books. As long as the places where these books are located are destroyed, the books will automatically reappear...
So he can definitely do the same once he becomes stronger, but he won't be as inhumane as the system, after all, he still has the Transcendent Table.
"I've already figured out how to travel to other worlds. Also, Miss Yakumo, are you asking this because you want to go somewhere far away with me?"

"Did Brother Yang figure out my thoughts so quickly?" Yakumo Yukari said with a meaningful expression after hearing Yang Xiying's words.
"Uh, I just felt that if you were to help me recycle the books, you would definitely encounter some situations where I would need to personally take action."
“So, it’s possible that we will act together in the future,” Yang Xiying replied after organizing her thoughts.
"I just don't know where you want to go with me? The moon? Or another world?" he asked the person opposite him.
“I suppose I’m still in another world,” Yukari Yakumo replied with a smile, “realizing that different worlds can be represented in this world through entertainment.”
"These things can serve as a reference to find places that aren't too dangerous to visit, but I don't have the ability to travel to other worlds."
"It took me a lot of effort just to go to the moon. I'm not afraid to tell you, but I suffered a lot when I went there."
"But Brother Yang, who read about us in books, should know about this." "More or less."
Yang Xiying knew that the other side was talking about the first lunar war, in which a group of monsters attacked the moon and were beaten to a pulp by the locals.
"So the moon in this world is not a place I can go to right now," so even Yakumo Yukari suffered a setback, so for him to go there now would be suicide.
"In short, if Miss Yakumo wants to go to another world, I can take you. Besides, I need a reliable person to help me find the book."
"So I was thinking of asking you if you were interested when the time came," Yukari Yakumo's ability was very convenient, and right now only her favorability rating was up to par.
“Of course I am interested, since I can do a lot of things if I go to another world,” Yukari Yakumo replied.
"Of course, if Brother Yang is taking me, I won't do anything to make things difficult for you," she added.
"Does 'the time has come' mean that now is not the right time to go to another world?" she then changed the subject.
“Yes, I need to get stronger first, at least another half month,” Yang Xiying replied directly.
He hasn't broken through the 8000 combat power index yet (no), he hasn't reached the strong realm yet, and he's only been in Gensokyo for half a month now.
"This amount of time isn't too long for us monsters. By the way, Brother Yang, are you only planning to invite me?"
After listening, Yukari Yakumo acted as if it wasn't a problem, and as she spoke, she revealed a playful expression.
"Uh, you want to go alone with me?" Yang Xiying sensed that the other person's tone was a bit ambiguous, so instead of responding to that, she asked a question in return.
"My main reason for wanting to go to another world is to find an area where I can expand Gensokyo, so it's not a problem if Brother Yang doesn't take me."
"No, it would be difficult if Brother Yang were to perish completely in this other world. I still need to keep an eye on him."
"Then you might as well keep me under house arrest until you've collected all the Heavenly Books of this world. Although some of them are indeed difficult to collect, it's good to become stronger."
"I don't even know how you traveled through time, so house arrest won't help. Besides, how long would it take for you to become stronger and collect all the books in this world?"
"I'm not a very patient person, and besides, everyone needs to have a bit of an adventurous spirit. As long as you don't die, that's fine. Or do you lack confidence in your ability to survive, or do you not believe in my survival skills?"
"Uh, not really. I can confirm the safety of traveling between worlds. I will only look for books in safe places."
"That makes sense, so take me with you next time. Consider it repaying a favor, or is it a bit difficult to repay?"
"How about I give you some more reward you want later?" Yukari Yakumo started using the same trick as last time, whispering in his ear.
"…!" This was already making Yang Xiying lose her composure, but Yakumo Yukari, just like last time, disappeared after saying that.
This cleared up many of Yang Xiying's distracting thoughts, because he now had a very clear goal—to form a [Kizuna Creation] fusion with Yakumo Yukari!
Furthermore, by doing this, there won't be any embarrassing situations where other girls in Gensokyo [Majin Fusion] are spied on by them anymore.
As he spoke, Yang Xiying also prepared to cultivate, but he still needed to cultivate his temperament to some extent. In fact, he had already practiced martial arts that morning.
Now that it's almost noon, I'll go out for lunch first, then buy some tools needed for playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, or perhaps practice Yuwen Daxia's social skills.
Last time, he casually gave a pot of wine to the blacksmith's uncle, and the uncle became much friendlier. He then learned some forging knowledge by watching from the side.
Yang Xiying went out and headed towards the restaurant. Since he was now attracting some attention, he wore a straw hat.
"Big Brother!" Even so, someone still recognized him, and Yang Xiying, who was walking on the road, was also stunned when she heard the voice.
He looked over and saw two strong men running towards him; they were none other than Silver Tiger Iron Ox, whom he had fought yesterday.
These two guys still looked like they hadn't healed from their old injuries, with bandages wrapped around their bodies. But it was pretty good that they could still stand up after being beaten like that.
"Are you calling me?" Yang Xiying couldn't help but ask after they stopped and looked at her.
“Of course,” Silver Tiger spoke first, responding with a serious expression, “After all, I witnessed your martial arts skills yesterday—”
"After hearing that you once wooed many powerful women in Gensokyo, I admire you even more!"
Silver Tiger's favorability towards you increases by 40.
[Tie Niu's favorability towards you has increased by 40]
——! ! !
As soon as Yin Hu finished speaking, the pedestrians on the street immediately turned their attention to him, because the recently talked-about figure had appeared!
"This is not the place to talk."
Yang Xiying felt a chill when she noticed the gazes of those around her. After all, this was not a good thing, not to mention the strange looks from others.
What if we attract the person being confessed to? Some of these guys are frequent visitors to this place.
It would be incredibly awkward if any of them approached me, such as PAD Long, Qu Lin Shizuki, Hanada Shrew, Alice Megatron...
So Yang Xiying invited the two guys who came to her door into an alley, and once inside, she got straight to the point.
"What do you want from me?"
“Uh…” Yin Hu and Tie Niu exchanged a glance, then each took out a stack of banknotes from their pockets and handed them to Yang Xiying.
"Please accept this, brother! Since we didn't know what you liked, we decided to give you money that can be exchanged for many things!"
“I have no plans to take on any apprentices right now,” Yang Xiying said, looking at the stack of banknotes. She suddenly realized what the other person was about to do.
"No, this is not a fee for us to become your disciples, but something we should rightfully contribute after losing to you!"
Silver Tiger said.
“It’s only natural, a contribution? Why would you think that? We’re all just competing in the same arena,” Yang Xiying said, somewhat puzzled.
“That’s another matter, and as I said before, after our match, we have developed boundless respect for each other.”
"Offering you my treasured items is my way of expressing my gratitude, so please accept them, brother!"
“…Alright,” Yang Xiying could tell from the other person’s expression that they were serious, so he had no choice but to accept the money.
