"..."

Li Tan remained silent. If he dared to do this, his fate would likely be Zhang Youchen, not Lan Fuyi. Moreover, the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City was poisoned.

This thing was a trap used by the imperial court to capture its own people, so it was sprinkled with red scorpion powder, but Yang Xiying handled it as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, we've only just met, so why do you seem to have a problem with me and Li Tan?"

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but Qi Xiao'er sensed the disdain on the other end of the line, which puzzled her, since it was their first meeting.

"I just think you guys are bad at the game. This Yishifugui Winery is not a place for a naive young girl like you."

Yang Xiying responded calmly.

"But you still insist on being attracted by Li Tan and risking your own safety to enter dangerous places, while Li Tan is burdened with a blood feud."

"The journey to find out the truth about the murder of my family is always a dangerous one, and that's exactly what happened when I broke into the Rich Manor."

"But you still can't resist flirting with girls. Do you think you're so powerful that you can treat roaming the martial world like child's play?"

Li Tan, also known as Qi Xiao'er, is a major character in "The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel," though the plot and character design are somewhat terrible.

Li Tan, by using the protagonist to solve the mystery, reaps the benefits in the back, making it seem as if he's given the game development team several boxes of premium milk.

However, he was not favored by the production team in terms of strength; his abilities were insufficient, and he couldn't even protect his own woman.

Later, she gradually became love-struck, saying that she wouldn't get involved in romantic relationships before finding the images to avenge her family.

He then deliberately guided Qi Xiao'er, who already had her own life, to follow him, and even brought her to the complex Yi Shi Fu Gui Winery.

The result of this was that Qi Xiao'er was captured by Lan Fuyi and taken hostage, forcing the protagonist to make a choice: hand over the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City and Qi Xiao'er would live; refuse to hand over the map and Qi Xiao'er would die.

From a moral standpoint, handing over the map is reasonable; it could save Qi Xiao'er's life, and they could always take it back later. However, the game doesn't have this kind of storyline.

It also didn't showcase Li Tan's high intelligence. When I played this game before, I thought he had a backup plan because he handed in the map so decisively.

As a result, all we wanted was women, not pictures, and there was no plot to swap the pictures; we had to rely on mods to make up for it.

So submitting the map yielded little result, only two teammates: Li Tan and Qi Xiao'er. But players don't lack these two. In terms of teammates, Luo Yuanyu, Yan Yushu, Zhuansun Ning, and Zhang Junbao are all better than them.

Therefore, from the player's perspective, not submitting the map yields greater benefits, since the map can bring unparalleled martial arts skills and powerful internal energy.

At the same time, we see an even more clownish side of Li Tan, because he turns against the protagonist for not handing over the map, but this guy only turns against him.

If this guy dared to come up and confront the protagonist, Yang Xiying would have considered Li Tan a man, but in the end, he only talked badly about the protagonist behind his back.

They didn't dare do anything to Lan Fuyi and Bu She Lou, who actually tried to kill Qi Xiao'er; they only knew how to steal things and leave behind a note saying "Zhang Youchen was here."

After talking about Li Tan, it's Qi Xiao'er's turn. Ha, what can she possibly criticize about a naive young girl who's attracted to Li Tan?

“…” Li Tan remained silent, because he could indeed feel his own weakness. If it weren’t for Yang Xiying, he and Qi Xiao’er…

"..." After saying that, Yang Xiying turned and left. Then, to everyone's surprise, a small figure suddenly pounced on her.

"Xiao Yang!"

"Hey, Suika, I can't handle that kind of strength."

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a cute girl with long orange hair, and she was wearing heavy-looking iron chains.

"Oh, Master, we meet again. This girl really does know you. And Sister Fan, Li Tan, Qi Xiao'er, you're all here too."

Just then, two more people walked over from a distance. They were Xiao Xiami and Luo Yuanyu, and they spoke with cheerful expressions.

"Young hero, and Brother Luo?" Qi Xiao'er looked surprised as she saw the newcomers, as did Li Tan.

"So you guys are here too," Li Tan said, suddenly feeling more relaxed upon seeing Xiao Xiami and Luo Yuanyu.

"Because I had a feeling that Brother Li's trip was going to be very bad, I came to the winery to check on things, and then I encountered the poisoned wine murder incident."

“And this is related to Situ Jing, so I’ll go deal with this with Sister Fan first,” Xiao Xiami replied directly.

"So, Brother Li and Miss Qi, you two teamed up with the Great Immortal to eliminate the imperial court and obtain the map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City?"

“Uh…” Li Tan was speechless for a moment, because Yang Xiying was the one who did all the work, while he and Qi Xiao’er were just acting as hostages and had a sense of participation.

"Young heroes, have you finished dealing with the poisoning incident at the winery?" Fan Xiangdie asked at this moment.

Discussing Li Tan's situation at this point would undoubtedly create an awkward atmosphere. It would be better to ask about Xiao Xiami's situation first.

“The murderers have almost all been brought to justice, whether it’s Master Chen or Situ Jing,” Xiao Xiami nodded in response to Fan Xiangdie.

“Even Situ Jing…?!” Fan Xiangdie looked surprised, and at this moment Luo Yuanyu added an explanation.

"Yes, when we were subduing Chen's eldest and second sons, Chen Changwei saw that things were not going well and escaped through the secret door in the reception room."

"When we finally met up with Situ Jing, we were all struggling to catch up, but fortunately, Yang Daxian's sister came to our aid."

"Speaking of this, Master Yang, your sister is incredibly strong! She knocked down Chen Changwei and Situ Jing, along with their house, with a single punch."

As he spoke, Luo Yuanyu also showed an expression of amazement, because the girl had collapsed a building in the winery, in order to keep Chen Changwei and Situ Jing.

They were all curious about who she was, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she led them over to find Yang Xiying.

"Yes, it's not just that you, Master Yang, are incredibly powerful; you also have many experts around you, and each time they are different."

Xiao Xiami was also impressed at this moment, because having witnessed Yang Xiying's strength, he naturally wouldn't underestimate the people following her, since they all called themselves martial artists.

Furthermore, Zhang Junbao later told me that Hakurei Reimu and Hong Meiling worked together with Yang Xiying to eliminate the wolf barbarians who had invaded Shu, and one of them could even fly!

Therefore, Xiaoxiami has already concluded that Yang Xiying and the people around her are not ordinary, and the same goes for the cute orange-haired girl who is somewhat close to her this time.

"Who is this girl? Is she your daughter, Great Immortal?" Even Little Shrimp became curious and couldn't help but ask the person opposite him.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. She's just petite and cute, but she's actually older than all of you."

Hearing what Xiaoxiami said, Yang Xiying showed a subtle expression. He hadn't been practicing the Boyhood Technique for long, and even if he had been born with the disease, he couldn't have grown up this fast.

—Ibuki Suika is old enough to be on the same level as Yakumo Yukari as an older sister!

"That's right, I'm a mature woman, and also Xiao Yang's wife, Ibuki Suika, and my hobby is drinking."

At this moment, Suika Ibuki suddenly grinned mischievously and took Yang Xiying's arm, acting quite intimately.

"...!" Everyone was surprised to hear Ibuki Suika's words, and Yang Xiying was a little unable to hold back.

“…Brother Luo, should we…” Little Shrimp fell silent. By the standards of his world, this would require reporting to the authorities!

"Hey, so your wife wasn't one of the ones who followed you before, Master? Or were all three of them?"

However, Luo Yuanyu's thought process was different from Xiao Ximi's, which made Yang Xiying give her a "you're very perceptive" look.

“Brother Luo, you can tell? The two who accompanied me last time and this one are both my wives,” Yang Xiying said, not minding making a joke.

But the price of joking is getting a beating. Reimu Hakurei suddenly appeared beside him and patted Yang Xiying on the back of the head.

"What the hell are you talking about! I have no intention of getting married!"

"So I'm just covering for Reimu, who doesn't want to get married, right? Once you have a boyfriend, no one will bother you anymore."

Yang Xiying rubbed his head. Helping a girl who didn't want to get together with someone meant pretending to be her boyfriend.

This event is recorded in The Blue Sea.

[Brother Yang, Miss Sakuya accidentally crushed the cup she was wiping] Yakumo Yukari's voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

Yang Xiying: "..."

PS: This is a two-in-one compilation of four thousand words.

NO.147+148, may you be resurrected by this electric shock!

"Tch, you'd be better off doing something productive than joking around," Reimu Hakurei scoffed and walked straight in one direction.

"Is there anything else you need to do, Great Immortals?" Little Shrimp couldn't help but ask as he saw Reimu Hakurei walking in one direction.

Logically speaking, the matter should be over by now, since the murderer who poisoned the wine and those involved have been brought to justice.

Meanwhile, on Yang Xiying and Li Tan's side, the people of the imperial court were already covered in blood and gore, and Lan Fuyi of the Unforgivable Pavilion was tied up and left to one side.

Yang Xiying was also holding a roll of blueprints... that must be the so-called map of the ancient Kaiming Royal City.

In that case, there shouldn't be any problems. Oh no, killing the people in the imperial court is a big deal, since they've already clashed with the court.

"—Of course, it's about bringing those guys who died from the poisoned wine back to life."

"Huh?" Little Shrimp and the rest of the people from the Heluo World were stunned when they heard Yang Xiying speak in such a matter-of-fact tone.

—Bring back to life those who were poisoned? Did they mishear?

However, Yang Xiying did not respond and followed Reimu Hakurei directly, with Suika Ibuki following behind.

"..." This made Xiao Xiami and Luo Yuanyu exchange a glance, and they couldn't help but follow along out of curiosity.

"..."

Fan Xiangdie was also somewhat concerned, but she had to settle Lan Fuyi in first, while Li Tanqi Xiao'er followed Fan Xiangdie, an acquaintance.

"Oh, fellow villager, have you finished dealing with everything over there?"

As soon as Yang Xiying and her group arrived at the entrance of Yishifugui Winery, someone greeted them, and it was Hong Meiling.

—She was preventing the winery's core members from leaving the house.

“Yes, I’m done with everything. There’s only one last thing left,” Yang Xiying nodded, and Hong Meiling understood what was going on and let them pass.

"Oh, okay, you can go now. By the way, should we let those two behind you through?"

“They’re not part of the inner circle,” Yang Xiying knew Hong Meiling was referring to Xiao Xiami and Luo Yuanyu. “Whatever.”

"Oh."

Finally, Yang Xiying and her group arrived outside, just like Xiao Xiami and her group had arrived before.

The body, poisoned by the wine, lay on a stretcher, while those associated with the body wailed and mourned. The slightly calmer ones argued with the winery staff.

“Huh? Isn’t this Hakurei Senpai? You’ve come to the winery too,” she even calmly called out Hakurei Reimu’s surname as she came out.

"……Um."

Reimu Hakurei nodded in response, which surprised Xiaoxiaomi and Luo Yuanyu, who were following behind, and they couldn't help but whisper to Yang Xiying.

"Master, do you know anyone connected to the deceased?"

“Yes, we stumbled upon the mass poisoning incident when we passed by a restaurant on our way to the market to buy supplies,” Yang Xiying nodded in response.

"Then Reimu stepped in to help detoxify, and after that she was called Fairy Maiden. However, there were too many people poisoned, and it wasn't just at one banquet."

“People had already been in accidents before, so we couldn’t save them all, and many people ended up as corpses.”

"I see... But didn't you say you wanted to revive those who died from poisoning?" Little Shrimp nodded thoughtfully, then seemed to remember something.

"Then why now...?"

"Because we have only just mastered the technology of resurrection."

"what……?"

Some time ago.

"...Lady Yuyuko, may I ask what death is?"

"Yang Xiying, are you alright?"

At the banquet, which was already a routine event, Yang Xiying suddenly asked a question that left everyone puzzled.

What is death? Isn't that a bit too profound? And there's something unsettling about this person talking about death.

"Didn't I say before that if you died I would try my best to resurrect you? So I'm researching the technology to resurrect the dead."

"To do this, one needs to understand the relevant knowledge, and for that reason, I would like to hear what Yuyuko, who has the ability to manipulate the degree of death, has to say."

"You really dare to think and act..."

Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but say, "This person really wants to learn every skill."

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws that no one can defy. At most, one can use methods to prolong life, but turning death into life is a very difficult thing.

Just like Gensokyo, you have to talk to the local King of Hell and buy the corresponding insurance so that death other than old age won't come knocking on your door.

Simply put, it means that even if you die from illness or an accident, you have a chance to be resurrected.

Therefore, if Yang Xiying wants to study this technology, she needs to cultivate a good relationship with the local Yama King.

But this person asked Yuyuko, who, although she managed souls in the underworld, was still a subordinate of Yama, the King of Hell.
