Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Then, the undead princess turned her head to look at Konpaku Youmu beside her and said softly, "... Youmu, go prepare some wine and food."

"…Although there aren't many people here now, we can still hold a small banquet. Ugh, I'm starving, Youmu."

At the end, she started to act coquettishly.

Konpaku Youmu looked at Saigo warily, then looked at Saigyouji Yuyuko a few times, and after a slight hesitation, he said: "...Yes, Master Yuyuko!"

Then she politely bowed to Saigo and Yakumo Yukari and said, "...Please wait for a moment, Youmu will go and prepare something!"

At this time, Yakumo Yukari teased Konpaku Youmu and said, "...I thought that little Youmu was going to draw her sword and chop us."

"Well……"

Konpaku Youmu felt embarrassed. To be honest, she actually had this idea just now and almost put it into action.

She bowed again hurriedly, turned around and ran out.

Saigyouji Youyouzi smiled and said to Saigo politely: "...Mr. Zaratu, please come to the White Jade Tower. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough!"

Chapter 25: The Quiet Dead Princess

"Thank you very much, Miss Youyouzi."

Saigo spoke in a calm and polite tone, and made a 'please' gesture to Saigyouji Yuyuko.

Youyouko Saigyouji smiled and gently covered her cherry lips with a pale jade hand with transparent skin.

Her cherry-colored eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. She tilted her head cutely and looked at Saigo for a moment, then turned around and led the way as the host.

Youyouzi's feet did not touch the ground. She was an undead spirit without weight. She was like a floating, misty smoke, moving forward under the breeze.

Yakumo Yukari looked at Saigo in surprise.

"Look at what I'm doing, Zi."

Saigo followed behind Youyouko. He noticed Yakumo Yukari's gaze and said with a smile.

"When did Lord Zaratul become so gentle?"

Yakumo Yukari's voice is gentle, charming and seductive, and the words she speaks are like a soft and fragrant breeze that passes by, stirring people's heartstrings.

"Then when have my words ever been anything less than gentle?"

Saigo asked back.

The Yokai Sage snorted coquettishly, and said with a hint of reluctance in his voice: "...Sir Zaratul is not gentle at all when facing us."

"...and ask yourself, what you did to me was not gentle at all."

Upon hearing this, Saigo laughed and said, "... Zi, you are just a bad guy who makes too many complaints."

"…I have good intentions and hope to help all the monsters in this fantasy town to overcome the mysterious decline of the outside world."

"I may have some selfish motives and ideas of my own, but I don't need you to pay anything, and I won't harm you."

"...I came here with good intentions, but you didn't trust me. You kept thinking of all kinds of temptations in your mind, and your behavior was excessive."

"Then let's put ourselves in my shoes. If you were in my position, would you be able to forgive me generously?"

Yakumo Yukari thought about it carefully, nodded vigorously and said: "... As a generous person like me, of course I will forgive a beautiful girl's unintentional excessive behavior."

Saigo was almost amused by her. Who would believe such a thing?

If this demon sage was in her position, with stronger power to manipulate the fate of others at will, she would only be more cruel.

Just look at the humans in Gensokyo and you will know that they are all kept in captivity by Yakumo Yukari.

But we can’t blame Yakumo Yukari entirely for this, after all, she was also thinking about the future of the race.

Saigo patted Yakumo Yukari's shoulders and said seriously: "...Yes, I am actually such a generous person〃〃."

"…So if I were in Zi's position, even if I was bullied and forced into a relationship, I would certainly forgive the mistakes that a handsome man would definitely make."

"Since we are all such generous people, let's be generous to each other. These things have been exposed, and we should not mention them again in the future."

Yakumo Yukari was stunned and forgot to walk for a moment. She stood there feeling incredible.

She didn't expect that Saigo was as shameless as herself, and she was fooled by his words.

Then aren't we really being taken advantage of?

Well, when it comes down to it, it was indeed my own problem. I did too many little things and it seems like I deserved to lose my virginity.

But there's nothing we can do about it. His identity is a devil, so people just can't trust him.

Yakumo Yukari was depressed. Saigo had gone too far, but she was also in the wrong. In this world where strength was everything, there was no way to reason.

Walking into the White Jade Tower, you will find a pure Japanese-style courtyard covering a large area. Compared to the shrine where Reimu Hakurei is located, the White Jade Tower can only be described as magnificent.

However, the atmosphere in the White Jade Tower is gloomy and uninhabited. If an ordinary person lives here for a long time, even if he does not have negative energy entering his body, he will probably feel depressed.

This is the underworld after all.

Yuyuko Saigyouji did not take Saigo and Yakumo Yukari into the house, but came to a garden full of cherry blossoms.

The grass in the underworld also has a deep color, and the garden is covered with a thin tablecloth.

Youyouzi knelt down on her knees with her hands folded in front of her, her posture elegant, like a lady of noble birth.

A strange look flashed across her beautiful eyes. She looked at Yakumo Yukari and then at Saigo, and smiled with her eyes curved: "... Yukari, you and Lord Zaratul seem to have a very good relationship."

“We do have a very good relationship.”

"Youyouzi, which eye of yours saw that we have a good relationship with him?"

Saigo and Yakumo Yukari said the same thing, but the meanings of their words were completely different.

Youyouzi smiled even more happily.

The dead princess took a bamboo basket beside her, which contained an old wine bottle. She opened the bottle with her delicate hands and poured a glass of wine for Saigo and Yakumo Yukari.

"Zi, even though you complain like this, there is no sadness between your brows."

Youyouko handed over the wine glass and placed it in front of Yakumo Yukari and Saigo, and spoke in a calm tone.

That posture is truly profound, mysterious, and indescribably precious.

"Have it?"

Yakumo Yukari picked up the wine glass and drank it all. She frowned and asked in confusion.

"Of course, you used to frown like an old lady."

"...But you look like your brows are relaxed now, and you look a few years younger."

"Well, probably from seventy to fifty or sixty."

There was a cunning flash in Saigyouji Yuyuko's eyes as she spoke slowly.

As she said this, Youyouzi stroked Zi's delicate eyebrows with her hand as if she had heartache.

Slapping away the hand that was caressing her face, Yakumo Yukari glared at Youyouzi and said, "...You are just trying to piss me off, Youyouzi!"

The undead princess groaned and said aggrievedly: "...I am not angry at all. I am telling the truth. Zi has been frowning for the past twenty years. How can I not see it?"

"…It's just that I don't want to say more. I know what you're worried about, but I don't have the ability to help you. Speaking out will only add to your troubles."

Yuyuko Saigyouji's words warmed Yakumo Yukari's heart.

No wonder every time she came to Baiyu Tower in the past twenty years, Youyouzi would have a party with her for several days and nights until she was drunk.

She originally thought that Youyouzi's personality had changed and she preferred to be active rather than quiet, but it turned out that all this was just to make herself happy.

Yakumo Yukari rubbed her eyebrows gently. It turned out that her emotions were all revealed on the surface without her even noticing.

But Youyouko now said that she was in a good mood, probably because she knew that Gensokyo had a chance of being saved after all.

Thinking of this, Yakumo Yukari glanced at Saigo inadvertently.

Although he said he didn't trust the devil, it seemed that his heart had already changed and he had enough trust in the words of this devil.

Who would have thought that I also had a tendency to be masochistic, and I would not admit it unless I was bullied by this person.

It's because he has always been in a high position in the past and is used to being bossy, so he has become too stubborn and inflexible.

Yakumo Yukari examined herself in her heart.

There was a faint smile on Youyouzi's lips, like a blooming cherry blossom that seemed to lure people into the arms of death.

In other words, Saigo was not affected. If an ordinary person was here, he would have gradually touched Youyouko's charming smile and been buried in the soil like a withered flower.

Saigyouji Yuyuko is the embodiment of death. Ordinary people cannot touch her at all. Even if they stay beside her for a little longer, they will lose their lifespan.

"¨" Lord Zaratul is not from this Gensokyo, right? Did you just arrive here?"

Seeing Yakumo Yukari in deep thought, Youyouko, as the host, gently handed the wine glass to Saigo and asked in a soft voice.

"Why did Miss Youyouzi say that?"

Picking up the white porcelain cup and seeing the pink wine, Saigo drank it down and asked with a smile.

The wine is not strong, but rather light, just like the pale pink cherry blossoms.

"Because if someone like Lord Zaratul had been in this Gensokyo long ago, I would have known you."

"...Zi will definitely bring you to meet me."

Youyouzi spoke in a soft and elegant tone as she complimented Xixiang Daowang.

"Ms. Youyouzi, thank you for your compliment."

Saigo felt that this undead girl was more stable than Yakumo Yukari.

But just as this thought came to mind, I saw Youyouzi's deep expression fade away, and she complained like a little girl: "...Hey, I'm starving to death, why hasn't Youmu cooked yet!"

She pouted her lips and spoke in a sweet and innocent tone. This sudden change made Xixiang stunned for a moment.

Chapter 26: The Indifference and Drunkenness of the Dead

"Master Youyouzi, the food is ready. I'll serve it right away!"

Saigyouji Yuyuko's words were just right. The moment she finished speaking, a half-human, half-spiritual swordsman lady appeared in the cherry blossom forest with a tray in her hand.

Saigo seemed to understand something when he saw this. The dead princess had foresight about how long it would take for every action of her gardener.

Konpaku Youmu, who was wearing a white and green swordsman uniform, had a very serious expression on her face. After placing the plate in her hand on the tablecloth, she bowed politely to Saigo and Yakumo Yukari.

Then the swordsman lady left quickly on her own feet, running back and forth between the cherry blossom forest and the kitchen to serve food like a waiter.

The distance between the two places was not close, and Konpaku Youmu almost tried her best to run at her full speed. By the time the meal was served, she was a little out of breath.

Gently placing the last bowl of soup on the tablecloth, Konpaku Youmu exhaled imperceptibly and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It seems that she is really tired.

However, after taking a look at the food, Saigyouji Yuyuko looked delicate and said to Konpaku Youmu coquettishly, "... Youmu, is there something missing?"

"Still, still not enough, Master Youyouzi?"

Konpaku Youmu looked at the food on the tablecloth and stammered.

Xixiang took a look and saw that there were eight dishes and one soup on the tablecloth, which were cooked, fried, deep-fried and boiled.

Moreover, each one is a hard dish, which requires considerable skills and physical strength to make.

Normally speaking, these dishes are enough for seven or eight people, let alone three.

"We finally have guests today, so of course you have to show off your cooking skills to the fullest, Yaomeng."

"...Otherwise, if we only use these things to entertain our distinguished guests, wouldn't that be a loss of face for Baiyulou?"

Youyouzi sighed lightly and said with a very serious reason.

When Konpaku Youmu heard this, she felt that Saigyouji Yuyuko was being polite, and she nodded vigorously and said, "...Youyuko-sama is right, we should do more when guests come to visit."

"...Please wait a moment. Youmu will continue cooking!"

After saying that, Konpaku Youmu walked towards the kitchen with her head held high and her chest held high, with a face full of sorrow, with a fearless spirit of sacrifice.

Saigo watched the half-human, half-spiritual girl leave, speechless, and couldn't help laughing: "...Miss Youyouzi likes to bully that little girl so much."

When Saigyouji Youyouzi heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "...Mr. Zaratsu is wrong. I am not bullying Youmu, but helping her train."

"...Youmu is both a gardener and a swordsman, but unfortunately Youmu has no chance to fight or practice swordsmanship in this White Jade Tower."
