The system always wants to send me to the heroine

Even though it was late in the day and the sun was setting, I was not affected at all. The image of a silly little girl with yellow hair running desperately forward with her short legs soon caught my eye.

Found it, it’s really running away!

Hey, why are you running in such a hurry? Even if you ate the rabbit that big sister raised, big sister wouldn't do anything to you, right? At most, um, she would catch you and raise you as well?

Eh?

No, no, the stupid rabbit is finally gone. If she comes again, won’t it be like keeping the rabbit out of the front door and letting the wolf in through the back door?

That's too dangerous, big sister's loli, just one of me is enough!

I quickly shook my head and prepared to say something to ask my elder sister to leave her alone.

Suddenly a mountain breeze blew, and I couldn't help but sneeze and rub my nose.

"Hey, this is so strange, there seem to be several little monsters around that haven't transformed yet, and they are also heading over there!"

I stretched out my hand and pointed over there.

"Yes, the wind tonight is very ominous."

The eldest sister's originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn, and several spirit butterflies flew out from her body.

Psylocke immediately turned gray in the air.

"The demonic aura is very strong tonight. In the past, even if there were a hundred demons parading at night, it would not be surprising."

"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade?"

I tilted my head. I was obviously the monster. I had no idea about such things.

"Let's go and take a look at the little guy. We can tell you the details after we see him."

After saying that, the elder sister turned around to get the offering spirit blade and took me out.

It seems like there's something exciting to watch again.

Well, maybe that's why the little yellow peach, who has an eccentric and playful mind, ran away?

No, no, I see she is in a hurry and she doesn't seem to be in the mood to play at all.

I didn’t know how long the journey would take, but after my elder sister took me down the mountain, we went straight to the post station, rented a horse from the post station, and galloped in the direction I indicated.

Originally, a place like the post station would naturally not provide convenience to ordinary people. This can be regarded as a result of the help of that guy Long Aotian.

"In the past, there were always a few nights every year when the demonic energy was strong, attracting demons everywhere. The demons gathered together spontaneously for a certain purpose, and the grand event was called the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

While riding on the horse, I was protected by the elder sister. I sat in front of her and leaned softly against her. Her hands tightly grasped the saddle ropes on both sides of my body, while also holding me tightly.

He introduced it to me while riding his horse.

"But since the birth of the demon king, hundreds of ghosts have been rampant, and the gathering of demons has gradually turned into aggression and killing. Therefore, after Daliang eliminated the demons, the grand scene of hundreds of ghosts parading at night has only existed in the sect's volumes until now."

While the elder sister was talking, I had already seen several monsters, all of which were as big as small yellow peaches and kept moving quickly.

"Oh, big sister, since there is a Hundred Demons Night Parade, are there any big monsters like, uh, Shuten-doji?"

Oh, I have wanted to ask this question for a long time. After all, the elder sister is a shrine maiden from Fuso. I wonder if the myths in this world are the same as those in our country?

Unexpectedly, the elder sister lowered her head and glared at me.

"What kind of expectant expression is that? Shuten-doji is just a pervert who was killed long ago in the legend. Why are you asking?"

Hey, pervert?

Okay, I admit that it is a little different from what I imagined. My impression of this guy only exists in some modern Japanese-style games.

In those games, isn't he portrayed as the majestic Ghost King of Oeyama?

The elder sister glared at me. She probably thought that girls shouldn't be curious about perverts, as it's very dangerous.

"According to legend, Shuten-doji transformed himself into a handsome man and specialized in seducing virgins. After having sex with them, he cut off their breasts and ate them, and used their blood to make wine, causing trouble for the people. In the end, the monster died at the hands of the great shogun Minamoto no Raikou."

The elder sister whispered, both explaining to me and scaring me.

Wow, I'd better not say it, it turns out to be such a scary monster.

I am most afraid of such scary ghosts. Late in the night, I couldn’t help but lean into my elder sister’s arms.

This is a world where monsters exist. I really doubt that there is a worrying degree of truth in these legends.

But hey, at least it has been confirmed that the Fusang monster and the flower-growing monster both exist in this world at the same time.

Hey, I’m the successor of the Inari God, so this kind of thing doesn’t seem strange!

After I figured it out, I quickly used my clairvoyance to watch the road for my elder sister.

"Ah, big sister, I think I see someone I know, go over there, go over there!"

It just happened to be a good opportunity to change the subject, so I quickly pointed in a direction.

The elder sister really responded to my requests. Without saying a word, she turned in the direction of my finger.

Sure enough, I was not mistaken. After riding for about ten minutes, I saw a girl anxiously chasing a red fox in the distance.

"Ah, it's really Miss Xiangxiang, and Hu Qinghuai, he's awake!"

I said happily, this fox finally survived.

However, the situation seemed a little strange. Xiangxiang was chasing him quickly, but Hu Qinghuai was like a sleepwalker. He just kept running forward and ignored Xiangxiang who was chasing him breathlessly.

As far as I can remember, it isn't such a heartless monster.

"Sister Miko, let's go help her, okay?"

I quickly looked up and pulled at the corner of my elder sister's clothes.

Hearing this, the elder sister squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, quickened her speed, and caught up in an instant. She leaned sideways, stretched out her long arms, and with just one move, she grabbed the red fox's skin by the scruff of the neck in her hands.

Hu Qinghuai's four legs were still sliding in the air, which was a bit funny, but it didn't seem like he recognized us at all.

Chapter 44: The Birth of the Demon King

This state of being as if possessed by an evil spirit could not be resolved. Hu Qinghuai, who had lost all his magical powers, was caught in his hands and kept trying to bite Yan Luoqing with his mouth.

Xiangxiang arrived and saw that it was the witch. She didn't rush to greet her but quickly told her the situation.

It turned out that Hu Qinghuai suddenly woke up in the evening. She was happy, but the fox seemed not to recognize her and ran out of the house.

She kept chasing after him, but couldn't persuade him to come back.

Seeing Hu Qinghuai struggling and still wanting to continue on his way, Yan Luoqing had a vague guess.

Thousands of beasts were running wildly like hundreds of ghosts parading at night, but their goals were the same: they were all pointing in one direction.

There is no doubt that something is attracting and summoning the monsters.

However, there is only one kind of monster in this world that has the ability to command other monsters.

Once the demon king appears, he will attract all the demons to come and pay homage.

"But the King of All Monsters has been killed many years ago. Unless, unless a new Monster King is born..."

Yan Luoqing murmured.

This kind of thing is really unusual. The appearance of a demon king is rare in a thousand years. How could he suddenly appear at this time without any warning?

Monsters have been appearing frequently recently, which is very unnatural. Long Aotian also told himself about this, but he didn’t think much about it. He just thought it was fate. He didn’t expect such a shocking change to happen today.

The cultivation of a great demon is gradual, and it takes an extremely long time for it to undergo a transformation and achieve the throne. However, the Demon Slayer Guards have been secretly fighting in the east and west over the years, so how could a great demon that has been born live to such an age?

"Little Lizhi, how do you feel?"

Yan Luoqing quickly asked her little one.

"Hmm? Me? I don't feel anything. If I must say, well, I ate too much before, so I feel a little full!"

The little guy moved his big ears, looking as silly and cute as usual, nothing unusual.

Fortunately, my little guy is fine.

But this does not mean that my inference is wrong, otherwise the situation of Xiao Huangtao and Hu Qinghuai cannot be explained.

"Xiangxiang, take Hu Qinghuai back first and keep an eye on him. Don't go out again. If you are worried, you can stay at Jiangfeng Shrine for one night. The barrier will keep you two safe."

Yan Luoqing handed the fox in his hand to Miss Xiangxiang. After giving her brief instructions, without waiting for Xiangxiang to reply, he rode his horse towards the place where all the monsters gathered.

Xiangxiang is a sensible girl and she knows what to do.

I just hope things are not as she imagined.

Speechless all the way.

The little girl seemed to know that he was thinking. Although she leaned softly on him, she no longer made any sound to disturb him and let him hold her in his arms.

Really, such a submissive look is very attractive. If it weren't urgent now, she really wanted to love this little guy quickly.

After riding for several hours, they had already left the territory of Jiangning Prefecture. Going further, they probably reached the territory of Yingtian Prefecture.

Yingtian Prefecture is one of the four capitals of Daliang and is of utmost importance. With such a change, the Demon-Slaying Guards’ reaction time to the news should be much faster than his own.

By now, I'm afraid there should be demon-slaying guards present.

Although he did not agree with the Demon Slayer Guards' style of action, at this moment, he could only hope that the Demon Slayer Guards could control the situation in advance.

As the night deepened, Yan Luoqing had already released the spirit butterflies to explore the way and give warnings. More and more monsters were coming nearby.

"Little Litchi, can you see it?"

"I see it, it's black fog, the same black fog as the Village in the Mist!"

"So the mutation was born in the black fog space. Well, that makes sense. What about the other monsters?"

"The other monsters, well, seemed to have returned to normal after getting close. They hid in the surrounding dense forests and watched. By the way, there are still demon slayers guarding outside the black fog, so there is no dispute with the monsters for the time being."

Yan Luoqing nodded. The situation was basically what she thought.

Although she had already guessed that it was a great demon that had descended to the world, she did not hope that her guess was correct.

However, listening to what the little guy said, the situation is still optimistic. The opponent has not yet appeared from the space, and the Demon Slayer Guards have already sent people in to attack.

The main force of the Demon-Slaying Guards entered the foggy space, so they naturally had no ability to fight with the monsters from the outside world. The monsters that came from afar were even more confused and chose to wait and see.

In less than half an hour, Yan Luoqing finally arrived outside the black fog and walked straight forward with the little guy.

The black fog covered a large area. Yan Luoqing, who did not want to deal with the Demon Slayer Guards, deliberately avoided them. They were not Long Aotian's subordinates and would not be as easy to talk to as Jiang Feng.

I came here just to explore. With the Demon-Slaying Guards in charge, I can come and go freely.

I’m afraid that the Demon-Slaying Guards won’t be able to deal with the Demon King at all.

Holding the hand of her little one, Yan Luoqing faced the black fog again and released the spirit butterfly, ready to test it out first.

"Sister Miko, it seems we can go in directly. This space does not exclude outsiders. Or rather, it seems to be expecting someone to come in, just like a beast with its mouth wide open waiting. Ugh, anyway, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

The little guy shrank his ears, as if he was a little scared, and Yan Luoqing immediately put his hand on him.

"Don't worry, just stay with me."

Yan Luoqing clenched her hands and led the person slowly into the black fog.

The scene suddenly changed.

Inside the space, it was a clear daytime, like a village in the fog. There were buildings standing in rows, and stone steps going up as if welcoming guests, but no one knew where they led to.

Yan Luoqing frowned.

She had never seen the architectural style in this space before. The tall building looked like a temple, but it seemed to be made entirely of stone blocks, stone beams and pillars, with no trace of wood.

This space is definitely not within Daliang, so the monsters born here are definitely not ordinary monsters.

Yan Luoqing quickly pulled the person towards her, but what she was thinking about was the changeable monster that transformed into her that day.

The monster also came from a different dimension, but was not recorded at all.

Strange things happened one after another, monsters that had never been seen before, and different dimensions appeared one after another. I don’t know what will happen next.

"Hiss!!!"

A shrill roar interrupted Yan Luoqing's thoughts.

It sounded like the hissing of a snake, and the sound echoed everywhere. The owner of the sound was fighting.

Stepping onto the stone steps step by step, Yan Luoqing already held the spirit blade in his hand, ready to meet the demon king who was about to be born.
