The greedy Xiangbei took another string of mushrooms and took another bite.

"So...what's your purpose in becoming stronger?"

"It's simple. I just want to defeat Reimu."

Marisa said as she swallowed the mushroom in her mouth.

"But Reimu is very strong, really strong. Even big monsters can't defeat Reimu. And you know, the power inherited by the Hakurei shrine maiden will only last until she's thirty or forty years old at most. If I just practice like this, then won't I have to live under the shadow of not being able to defeat Reimu for the rest of my life?!"

"Defeat Reimu? How should I put it? Your answer is within my expectations." Xiangbei nodded. The bunch of mushrooms in his hand had been finished. He did not take more grilled mushrooms. After all, this was definitely Marisa's dinner, and eating too much was not good after all.

"But, even if you do that, you won't be able to defeat Reimu, right?"

This is the fact. Even the famous big monsters are unlikely to be able to fight against Reimu if they are not subject to the rules of Danmaku. Marisa can only compete with the big monsters under the rules of Danmaku. To defeat Reimu... to put it bluntly, it is not unfair to call it a fool's dream.

Marisa is usually very straightforward. When she heard Xiangbei say that she couldn't beat Reimu, she didn't get angry, but laughed instead.

"What if I tell you that I've actually beaten Reimu before?"

"Um...when you were six?"

"Ah...how did you know that?"

"Nonsense, the power of Hakurei is usually inherited by miko when they are seven or eight years old. I remember that you and Reimu were childhood sweethearts. You could have defeated her when she hadn't inherited the power of Hakurei yet."

"There's nothing I can do. After inheriting Hakurei's power, Reimu is just too good at fighting. Although Reimu before inheriting Hakurei's power was still very good at fighting, the gap between her and me isn't that big." Marisa's eyes flickered with nostalgia when she said this: "Back then, I pinned Reimu to the ground and beat her until she cried da☆ze!"

"Reimu was beaten and cried..." I imagined the scene of Reimu being beaten and crying in my mind... Well, my imagination is still not strong enough, I can't imagine it.

However, the childhood version of Reimu here is the young Reimu, so it's okay to imagine her childhood scenes... Tsk, so why did Reimu become like that when she grew up? Is this the curse of becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden?

"But that was in the past. You still can't beat Reimu now."

"That's not necessarily true." Marisa shook her finger. "After Reimu inherited Hakurei's power, I was completely powerless against her. But in less than twenty years, I've been able to make her use 30% of her strength. In another 20 years, I'll be able to make her use 60%, and in another 20 years, it will be 90%..."

"Besides, because of the rules of Danmaku, even if there's a disparity in power between the two sides, it's still possible to win. Although I'm still far behind Reimu now, as I get stronger, I'll definitely defeat her before she loses her role as a miko!"

Looking at Marisa's shining eyes, Xiangbei opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Should I say she's optimistic... or just stubborn? I don't know whether I should admire her or continue to persuade Marisa.

Forget it. Since this was Marisa's own choice, Xiangbei couldn't say much. Anyway, he didn't want to persuade her in the beginning. After all, Marisa was not a fool. She must have known the difficulties and hardships of this road when she first started. It would be a bit rude for him to persuade her.

"Okay, then you can continue with your work."

It was almost dark, and Xiangbei wanted to leave, but before leaving, he planned to give Marisa a gift.

"As a thank you for treating me to mushrooms...give me your hand."

"Hmm? What do you want me to say?" Even as she said this, Marisa still extended her right hand.

Xiangbei grabbed Marisa's right hand, and the Wuwei Transformation was activated instantly, covering Marisa's soul. A flash of light flashed from her head to her feet, and Marisa felt that her whole body was "renewed".

It was as comfortable as wearing new panties to welcome the New Year... All the toxins, hidden diseases, and new or old wounds remaining in Marisa's body were repaired by Xiangbei using Wuwei Transformation.

"Okay, this way at least you won't end up lying in bed as a vegetable in ten years or so." He let go of her hand and waved goodbye to Marisa.

"Please pay more attention to your body, ciao~"

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 163: Succubus, why are you just watching?

"Huh? All the wounds are really healed."

Taking off her torn gloves, Marisa gently stroked the wound that had just healed. The skin there had returned to its former smoothness without leaving any scars.

Marisa's training is quite dangerous. In addition to taking various mushrooms to accumulate and refine magic power, the main magic materials for the magic cannon she uses are various mushrooms. In addition to the toxins that these mushrooms may carry, when they are ground into powder and reacted in the Bagua furnace to release the magic cannon, if the control is not good, the emitted light and heat may burn her skin.

Marisa always likes to wear black clothes that cover her arms and skin, one of the reasons being to hide the scars on her body.

Besides these relatively minor injuries, the injuries in Marisa's body were more serious... Besides the fact that magic power would corrode the human body, the mushrooms that Marisa ate on a daily basis to assist in extracting magic power also contained some toxins. If this continued, if Marisa hadn't been really lucky and hadn't had the help of several witches, she would have been sent to Eternal Pavilion long ago.

"This is incredible," she murmured. "Isn't this a hundred times better than going to Yongyuan Pavilion and taking those extremely bitter medicines?"

My body feels so light, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

"Yoshi!" Marisa wiped her mouth and swallowed all the mushrooms in her hand. "Let's take advantage of this momentum and learn all the uses of this mushroom today!"

……

……

Xiangbei left after curing the various wounds and toxins in Marisa's body...but he didn't leave completely.

Didn’t we mention it in the previous two sections? When he met Marisa, he also saw a somewhat unexpected guy.

The succubus squatting on the branch did not see Xiangbei under the tree, but was concentrating on looking in the direction of Marisa, holding a telescope in her hand and squatting secretly among the leaves on the branch.

It was obvious from the look of him that he didn't look like a serious person. He walked forward to the north and kicked the tree trunk, causing the whole tree to shake.

The succubus on the tree screamed, hugged the branch and shook, then she stabilized her body. After looking around for a while, she saw Xiangbei under the tree.

"Hey, it's been a while." Xiangbei waved. The second time he returned to the Demon Realm, the succubus was no longer in the palace. He originally thought that the succubus had returned to her territory, but he didn't expect that she had sneaked into Gensokyo?

The succubus opened her arms, jumped down from the tree, raised the crescent staff in her hand and hit Xiangbei on the head: "What the hell are you kicking! You almost scared me to death! What if I accidentally fall out of the tree, will you be responsible?"

"Can't you fly? And you are a vengeful spirit. Will a vengeful spirit be killed by falling?" Xiangbei complained.

Ever since Xiangbei's battle with Huo, his bottom line has been permanently activated. The succubus's staff stopped one centimeter away from Xiangbei's head and could not move forward even a little bit.

"What are you doing here, spying on Marisa? Miss Succubus, I didn't expect you to have such a hobby."

After trying a few more times, she found that she couldn't hit Xiangbei on the head after all. The succubus angrily retracted her staff, thinking that she must think of a magic to break this strange ability, and then beat this guy up!

"Yeah, I was just peeping, what's wrong?"

"Answer immediately! And you don't have any shame at all!?" Xiangbei said jokingly.

"I didn't expect you to be such a succubus. I was wrong about you!"

"Hmm? Peeping is peeping, there's nothing to be embarrassed about admitting." The succubus was not ashamed but proud of it: "Rather, only when you can say these words shamelessly can you be called a reliable adult!"

Hearing this, Xiangbei took a breath and took two steps back.

"Masaka... am I too narrow-minded?"

"Yeah, of course. It's not easy to become a qualified adult." The succubus put her hands on her hips proudly, and seemed to be very pleased with Xiangbei's attitude.

Xiangbei felt that he had learned something.

"By the way, why were you spying on Marisa?" Xiangbei asked again.

"Nothing." Putting away the binoculars, the succubus casually said, "Marisa... She was my disciple in my previous life. I came to Gensokyo this time just to see her."

"Oh." Xiangbei nodded, not surprised at all. "Then why are you just watching?"

"Eh? You know? That's right, Shenqi should have told you. Oh, I don't just want to watch... but... how should I put it..."

The succubus's expression suddenly became a little melancholy, and she sighed.

"I simply don't want her life to be constrained by me anymore. In this life, I want her to live freely."

No wonder he looks so conflicted.

"It's not a big deal actually. Since you can't let her go, why not accept her as your disciple again?" Xiang Bei tentatively made some suggestions.

"After all, even if she didn't become your disciple in this life, she's still on the path to becoming a magician. Wouldn't it be better if you accepted her as your apprentice?"

Doesn't the succubus want to take Marisa as her apprentice anymore?

Of course she did, otherwise she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to sneak into Gensokyo to spy on Marisa's current situation.

But she still had concerns in her heart. She was worried that her past would restrict Marisa's future, and she was unwilling to involve Marisa in unnecessary trouble for her own selfish desires.

"Honestly, I'm scared." The succubus rubbed her long green hair irritably. "Maybe you think I'm kind now, but I wasn't always easy to talk to before... That's why I'm not sure if I'll continue to lead her down that path of no return."

Hiss, the story of the old work?

Xiangbei had forgotten a little, he vaguely remembered that the succubus seemed to be a tough character in the past... It would be better to say that most of the monsters in Gensokyo were tough characters in the past, but the situation would change, just like the flesh-eating monster Rumia, who would rather starve to death than eat anyone for the sake of a human's feelings.

"Don't underestimate Marisa. She's not some naive lady. Maybe you're worried that your past will affect her... I think she should be able to judge for herself whether it's good or bad."

The succubus was stunned, she had indeed never thought about this. In her memory, Marisa... no, Marisa was indeed a lady from a noble family, who was seduced by her with sweet words and became her apprentice.

"Besides," Xiangbei continued, "don't you think that if you can use your abilities to prevent her from going down the wrong path, wouldn't that be a responsible approach? It's not like you're unaware of Marisa's training methods... they're definitely evil."

"Succubus, you don't want to see Marisa become a self-taught magician because she has no master, and end up lying in bed counting the marks on the ceiling because of an accident while learning magic, right?"

"What's that tone of voice?"

The succubus angrily hit Xiangbei's head with her staff, but it was blocked as expected.

"But... you're right." The succubus clenched the staff in her hand: "Perhaps it is true that I haven't been able to let go of the past... I will think about it again."

"besides."

The succubus' tone softened.

"Thank you for helping Marisa..."

"It's a small matter. That's all I have to say." Xiangbei soared into the air. "The rest is between you and Marisa. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Xiangbei stepped into the air. He came calmly and left with momentum. On the surface, Xiangbei's series of actions were very cool.

"Hmm." The knot in her heart was partially untied. The succubus rolled her eyes and suddenly felt a little playful.

"Goodbye, Xiangbei~Master~"

Xiangbei almost crashed into the woods while flying.

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Leave Request

I've been busy with various things recently, and I'm also thinking about the content for the next volume, so I haven't updated on time.

I'm finally done with my work today, but I may have to continue to be busy later...

I will resume updating tomorrow, but if I get busy, the update time may become Schrödinger's... I can only say that I will try my best to maintain the frequency of updates.

I'm sorry, I'm so tired today. I'll take another day off...

Volume 3: Return to Fantasy: Chapter 164: Patchouli—GO!

Although there was a small accident, Xiangbei finally arrived at the edge of the Misty Lake safely.

However, this time when he came to the Mist Lake, there was a slight difference compared to the last time he came here. A certain ice spirit was sitting by the lake, holding a piece of ice in its hand, staring blankly at the lake.

Xiangbei also discovered that the three fairies of Sun, Moon and Star and the big fairy were hiding in the grass behind Cirno, using the three fairies' abilities to hide their figures, seemingly observing Cirno.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but looking north from afar, I could actually see a glimmer of wisdom in Cirno's eyes.

"?"

As if sensing someone's sight, Cirno looked around, but found nothing. She turned her head, reached into the lake, and froze an unlucky frog that was swimming over.

After the curse was lifted, Cirno began to change. The curse that Alphalus had cast on her was constantly restricting and damaging her intelligence and strength. Now that the curse was lifted, although her memory could not be restored, her strength and wisdom had been slowly recovering without the oppression of the curse.

Cirno is a very talented fairy, otherwise she would not have become something like the Fairy Queen.

Speaking of which, in the entire Touhou series, the only beings with three pairs of wings are the Demon God Kamiki, the Angel of Death Sariel, the Nue whose true identity is unknown, and Cirno. Cirno's previous strength was indeed not weak, and she was even able to challenge the former Yakumo Yukari and Kazami Yuuka... This shows how powerful and rare three pairs of wings are.

"Should I also have three pairs of wings or something?" Xiangbei asked Huo.

"Uh, what's the point?" Huo was confused. "And how did you grow wings? You're human, right?"

"I can." Xiangbei's back bulged slightly, and three pairs of huge black wings spread out behind him.

"My Wuwei Transformation ability allows me to manipulate my body by manipulating my soul. I can grow more arms, or organs like gills and tails... I can also grow wings, which can even allow me to fly."

"Oh, I see. No wonder you did that before..." Huo thought for a moment and asked.

"Since you can change your body and imitate animal organs, have you ever tried to imitate the organs of monsters? Like the horns of demons, the wings of tengu, etc."

"I tried, but it didn't work." Xiangbei shook his head. "A monster is a kind of creature that is fleshy but not fleshy... Although it can bleed, and the organs in a monster's body are similar to those of a normal human, it is definitely not a normal body. Wuwei Transformation can't simulate it."

"Is that so... By the way, you said your ability is to change the body by controlling the soul..." Huo asked again.

"Monsters also have souls. If you try to manipulate their souls to control their bodies, maybe you'll get some inspiration."

"Hiss... Eh? You're right, eh?"

Xiangbei was stunned and felt that this was indeed true.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, although the holder of Wuwei Transformation, Zhenren, was a pure born, it is undeniable that he has developed the ability of Wuwei Transformation. Now Xiangbei has surpassed him in ability depth and precision with the help of various buffs, but he has not come up with anything new.
