Looking at the expressionless face of Yakumo Yukari in front of him, Master Xuan sighed in his heart.
It understood that although Yakumo Yukari looked cold now, she quickly established the new Hakurei shrine maiden, even blocked the news of Hakurei Reimu's death and made up lies about it, and seemed to care about her at all.
But it understood that this was not because Yakumo Yukari didn't care about Reimu, but because she had to do this for the sake of Gensokyo.
If this is not done, once the news of Hakurei Reimu's death is revealed, it will only intensify the monsters' rebelliousness.
Being sealed in a barrier by humans is already a great humiliation, and being governed by a human priestess is also a shame. The monster sage has been calling for this barrier to be turned into a shelter for monsters, away from humans in the outside world, which has made many monsters dissatisfied with Yakumo Yukari.
If the monsters knew about this, Yakumo Yukari's prestige in their hearts might decline further. After all, all the monsters in the barrier knew about the relationship between Yakumo Yukari and the shrine maiden... He can't even control the life and death of his own shrine maiden, and he still wants to control us?
In the worst case scenario, all the monsters in Gensokyo will probably riot, and the establishment of Gensokyo will be out of the question... This is something that Master Xuan does not want to foresee, and it is also something that Yakumo Yukari does not want to see.
Therefore, Yakumo Yukari had to do this. Even though she was Reimu's friend, she had to suppress her emotions and coldly complete all the matters needed to establish Gensokyo.
Ugh……
It's not easy for you either, Zi.
Feeling Mr. Xuan's gaze, Xiangbei couldn't help but feel uneasy.
No, buddy, your gaze is a bit weird... Masaka, you old turtle, do you have such thoughts about Yakumo Yukari?
Oh shit, melon!
But he was the one who was bearing this gaze. Seeing that Yigui and Yiyu didn't say anything else, Xiangbei waved his hand, opened the gap, and stepped into it.
"Well, I'll be leaving now. There are still some remnants of the Onmyoji that haven't been dealt with... You guys should stay in the shrine for the time being and don't move around."
The gap closed, and Xiangbei's figure disappeared into the shrine.
"Ugh……"
I don’t know how many times he sighed, Master Xuan looked at the Yin Yang Jade who was sighing and comforted him.
"Don't be too sad. If Ling Meng were still alive, he wouldn't want to see us so decadent."
"That's true."
Yin Yang Yu tried hard to cheer up.
"Zi is also working hard for the establishment of Gensokyo, even with such an injury, so we can't hold her back!" Yin Yang Jade continued, its eyes firm, as if cheering itself up... although it couldn't be seen.
"That's right." Master Xuan closed his eyes and made up his mind secretly.
"Believe in Yakumo Yukari, and think of it as fulfilling Reimu's wish... Gensokyo must be established!"
……
……
On the other side, the remnant of a certain Onmyoji was holding a fruit knife, gesturing at the Mao Yu in front of him, with an unknown expression on his face as to what he was thinking.
"What are you doing?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Yakumo Hong looked back and saw Xiang Bei standing behind her, looking curiously at Mao Yu in front of Yakumo Hong.
"Did you get your face back?"
Seeing Xiangbei's appearance change from Yakumo Yukari's appearance back to her original appearance, Yakumo Hong couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"And didn't you say you had a lot of things to do? Why did you come back so soon?"
"Yes, there are many things. As for my face... well, it feels weird to say this, but I can change it anytime I want."
"It's just that I suddenly thought of something."
Xiangbei looked into Yakumo Hong's eyes and said.
"I remember that the laws within your body seem to be able to increase your strength by killing or defeating certain targets... According to the historical records of our world, every time you defeat an enemy, your strength will increase a little... Is this also part of your law's ability?"
"Ah, that's right."
Yakumo Hong nodded.
"That's why I was thinking about killing this Mao Yu. This way, I might be able to level up... ahem, I might be able to gain even greater power."
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 211: LEVEL UP!
"However, I can only gain power by defeating those with a certain level of strength. In this case..."
After taking a look at the LV1 level Mao Yu, Yakumo Hong shook her head.
"An animal like this... or a monster? Anyway, it's too weak. Even if I kill it, I won't gain any power. It's no different from killing a chicken."
"Of course, even if I don't kill, defeating others can still increase my strength. However, I must truly defeat the opponent. I won't gain strength by rigged matches."
"I've already experimented with Meihong on this."
Yakumo Hong looked to the side and saw Meihong sitting on the trunk of a big tree nearby, with a rather unhappy look on her face.
"Is that so...it's a pity." Xiangbei shook his head with pretended regret.
"It would be great if Meihong's recovery ability still existed. In that case, every time you kill her, you'll gain a bit of strength. Once she recovers, you can kill her again, and repeat this cycle... It won't take long before you become the world's strongest."
Upon hearing this, Meihong's face turned pale and she almost fell from the tree. Even Yakumohong took two steps back and looked at Xiangbei in disbelief.
"Uh...it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
With a wave of his hand, Xiangbei let the matter go.
"However, defeating the strong will make you stronger... I do have a way."
"Ok?"
Yakumo Hong watched as Xiangbei bent down, took out a few bean-like objects from his own shadow, and clapped his hands together eleven times...
A piece of Mao Yu fell from his hand.
【Mao Jade (LV354)】

Yakumo Red: (ノ[ ] Д [ ] )ノ
Holy crap! This fur ball is almost as high as Hakurei Reimu's!
Xiangbei, you are so powerful that you can easily create Maodama with a strength close to Hakurei Reimu... It seems that what he said before that he might be the strongest of this era was not an exaggeration.
Of course, although Mao Yu's level is so high, if it faces a monster of the same level as itself, it will most likely not be able to defeat the opponent.
After all, all it has are levels. It has almost no skills, excellent racial characteristics, or even IQ. It is definitely at a disadvantage against monsters of the same level. Even monsters that are much lower in level than it may still be able to defeat it.
But this is enough. As cannon fodder and small fry, there is no need to expect too much from them. And now, as a simple experience pack... they are absolutely suitable.
He pulled the signal sword out from the shadows and handed it to Yakumo Hong.
"This sword is for you. Here, try it and see how it strikes you."
Looking at the signal sword in her hand, which was as high as LV903, Yakumo Hong couldn't help but swallow.
This level is even higher than Xiangbei himself, and he can take it or give it away whenever he wants?
"No, this is too valuable. I can't accept it..."
"It's alright, this sword can no longer provide me with any help."
Although the signal sword is indeed very powerful and its performance can definitely be called a divine weapon, it can no longer provide any effect to Xiang Bei now... After all, even if he fully charges the power of the signal sword and strikes it, the effect may not be as strong as his own world-slashing blow.
It's not cost-effective and is of no use to him... but for Yakumo Hong, having this weapon will definitely be of great help.
Speaking of which, unlike Yakumo Hong in the original timeline, although Yakumo Hong in the Genocide line levels up faster and learns skills more diligently, it seems that she has never obtained any equipment.
The reason was unknown, perhaps a system discrepancy? Anyway, with this in mind, Xiangbei forcefully pulled Yakumo Hong's arm and thrust the signal sword into her hand.
"Alright, take it. This will help me keep you in check, won't it?"
"...I understand. Thank you for your kindness."
In the end, Yakumo Hong accepted the weapon. The signal sword she received felt cold to the touch. Although the appearance of the sword looked very similar to the plastic toys sold in stores, it felt obviously made of iron, and its weight was no different from those plastic swords.
Yakumo Hong held the hilt of the sword with both hands, imitating the way swordsmen held swords that she had seen on TV before, aimed at the direction of Mao Yu, and swung at it.
tear-
The result was somewhat unexpected. Just like cutting a piece of tofu, the signal sword easily split the Mao Yu, which was more than 300 levels high, into two halves.
"Ugh?"
She had never expected that the signal sword would be so sharp. Yakumo Hong used too much force and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xiangbei helped her up, stretched out his hands, grabbed the girl's waist, and lifted her back to her place.
"Be careful, this sword has a special effect that ignores defense and can even attack the soul. It would be bad if you get hurt."
"Well!"
What Xiangbei didn't notice was that Yakumo Hong, who was grabbed by the waist by him, became stiff all over and her cheeks turned slightly red.
Maybe it's because her body has become that of a girl, so she now feels quite sensitive to Xiangbei's touch. If it's her arm or something like that, it's fine, just touching it wouldn't matter, but if it's her waist, then... the girl feels some unspeakable shyness.
No, no, no, what am I thinking about? Yakumo Hong, you were originally a young man! Don't let yourself be turned into a lesbian!
But now she is a girl... and Xiangbei is not sure about her original gender...
Wait a moment.
Yakumo Hong recalled all the care that Xiangbei had given her before... Although she was very grateful to him, a man taking such care of a woman inevitably makes people wonder whether Xiangbei has any feelings of love for Yakumo Hong, or Yakumo Hong in his original world.
So... was Xiangbei in love with Yakumo Hong from his own world? So much so that he'd risked his life traveling through time and space, and because he was also Yakumo Hong, he loved her and therefore received extra care from her?
For some reason, Yakumo Hong suddenly felt a faint sense of loss in her heart... No, why should I feel lost?!
The thoughts in her mind kept swirling, making Yakumo's face even redder. She shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts... but failed.
She tried to distract herself from these increasingly dangerous thoughts...and it worked.
You killed Mao Yu and gained 562040 experience points.
[Congratulations on your level up. Current level 53. Experience consumed: 560000. Remaining experience: 2040. Automatically logging in.]
[The system plug-in is damaged, you cannot gain experience. Current experience 0/120000]
"Oh, you've definitely gotten stronger."
Although he couldn't see the other party's level, Xiangbei could also sense the changes in the power in Yakumo Hong's body. Her strength increased rapidly after killing Mao Yu.
"Hmm, hm, indeed..."
The girl's voice sounded a little unnatural, probably because she was shocked by the rapid upgrade.
Haha, but don’t worry, there’s something even more shocking to you!
Xiangbei put his hands together again, and then another LV350 Maodama appeared in front of Yakumo Hong.
"Come on, chop it again!"
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 212: How to Earn Experience
"No, I can't hold on anymore... I can't hold on anymore..." Yakumo Hong's cheeks turned slightly red, her body trembled slightly, sweat soaked her shrine maiden costume, and her legs felt a little weak.
"We're just getting started." Xiangbei said with a relaxed expression, "I'm going to speed up, you take it all!"
"No, no! Wait! Slow down, a little slower!"
Facing the overwhelming swarm of Maodama thrown towards the north, Yakumo Hong shouted in a state of collapse.
……
You killed Mao Yu and gained 556000 experience points.
[Congratulations on your level up. Current level 263. Experience consumed: 550000. Remaining experience: 6000. Automatically logging in.]
[The system plug-in is damaged, you cannot gain experience. Current experience 0/12000000]
Finally, the violent "Kiritama" game ended, and Yakumo Hong collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.
It's not physical. After each level-up, Yakumo Hong's HP will be restored, but mental fatigue cannot be recovered. She always needs a certain amount of rest.
If Xiangbei's stock of raw jade had not been almost completely consumed, he would have persisted and increased Yakumo Hong's level.
But I didn't expect that even though I threw so many high-level fur jade to Yakumo Hong to farm, the power she improved did not reach the level Xiangbei estimated... Of course, compared with other monsters or humans at the same level, the girl's ability value must be stronger, which can be judged based on the girl's ability value in the later part of the original novel.
The girl's current level is comparable to that of Yakumo Kurenai, a late-stage player in Gensokyo. Of course, she is still far behind in terms of combat power. After all, she does not have the props and skills accumulated by the other Yakumo Kurenai through so many tasks.
