Self-cultivation of passerby male protagonist

However, the devil...

The unpleasant memory popped up in his mind at the right time, Wu Ye suddenly asked, "Well, how is Ms. Shenqi?"

Facing Wu Ye's abrupt question, everyone fell into unanimous silence.

Xuan Ye and Lu Meng looked at each other and both shook their heads, and the succubus also showed doubts.

"Don't you know each other?" Wu Ye looked at Xuan Ye and Lu Meng, who shook their heads. The people at Hakuli Shrine often fight with the succubus in the devil world. Haven't they seen Shen Qi once?

This seems to be due to coincidence.

So he turned his gaze to the succubus, but the other party gave an extremely unexpected answer: "I don't know, who is that."

"Fake you--" Wu Ye blinked vigorously, with a surprised expression on his face: "Are you not from the Devil? Why don't you know Miss Shenqi."

"Why do I need to know her? That's so beautiful."

"She is the god of the devil."

"God of the Devil?"

The succubus was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Is there a god in the devil world? Why don't I know?"

"This……"

The succubus is lying?No, there is no reason for this. What he asked is not a secret, and there is nothing unspeakable about Shenqi's existence. The people of the Demon Realm are all swaggering here to mention what's wrong with the Demon God.

Just why, why would the succubus say that he did not know Shenqi?

"Young man, I'm afraid you remembered it wrong, there are no gods in the Demon Realm." It was Master Xuan who was speaking, and his beard's length seemed to have a different kind of credibility.

"Is that so? But I remember—cough, I heard that Miss Shen Qi created the Demon World."

"Created the demon world?"

Hearing this, the succubus laughed softly, and it was full of jokes: "Ah, I understand, then maybe there is such a guy called Shenqi, but what is the era? ."

"What do you mean?" Wu wondered.

Xuan Ye glanced at the succubus, and reluctantly explained: "The birth of the devil world can be traced back a long time ago. I am afraid that was the era when the gods still remained on this land. At that time, one or two called themselves for faith. The god of the'God of the Devil' is not a strange thing."

"Yes, is that right?"

Xuan Ye’s explanation seemed reasonable, and Wu Ye could indeed accept such a statement, if he had never seen Shen Qi before--

Perhaps in the eyes of Xuan Ye and Succubus, they just accidentally learned of the existence of the so-called "God of the Devil" from the ancient classics forged by a believer of a certain god, so they asked such a question.

Then there are only two conclusions, one is that Shenqi lied, and the other is that even the succubus does not know the existence of Shenqi.

Wu also didn't want to believe the first point, because Shenqi's feeling of oppression and strangeness was very high.

But if even the succubus, who can open the channel between the two realms at will, doesn’t know the existence of the god of the demon world, it seems too far-fetched?

In the end, this question can only be ignored, at least at this stage.

The succubus left after a short time. Judging from the look when she left, she probably didn't want to appear in the same scene with Wu.

The arrival of this evil spirit disrupted the originally quiet afternoon and made Lumeng feel less in the mood to repair the shrine again, so when Wu was about to leave, she did not use the reason to repay the debt to force him to stay.

"Then I'll go back first, it's not early." Although it is a shrine, there are actually no special products to bring, so when Takeya left empty-handed, he was a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Lumeng's enthusiasm exceeded his expectations: "Remember to come again."

"Oh!" Wu, who felt warm in his heart, also responded loudly to Lu Meng, who expected the next sentence from the other party to be--

"Remember to come back and finish the rest of the work."

"... Give me back my touch!"

Chapter 31—Remote Ideals

"Come back? So fast, I thought you won't be able to come back at least until night."

"What a delicate time, why?"

"Given the laziness of that guy, that torii gate must have not been repaired."

"Sure enough, you did it on purpose! Bastard Yuko! You actually asked me to pay your debts!"

"Hehehehe."

Wu Ye, who had returned to the West House early, could only lament his innocence, besides seeing Yuko's belly black again.

"Here, tea." With a flattering smile, Yuko handed Wuya a cup of tea. Does she think that just a cup of tea can eliminate her grievances?Heh—In fact, the tea made by Yuko is quite delicious.

A cup of tea melted away from the summer heat, Wu also felt a lot calmer.

"Right," Putting down the teacup, Wu Ye curiously said, "When I came back, I saw the pedestrians on the road looking hurriedly. What happened?"

"Huh? Wuya, don't you know? I thought Qingming must have told you," Yuko glanced at Wuya in surprise, and said quietly, "Those are all businessmen, they are common things."

"Something often happens?"

"It is their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I heard that monsters are coming, so naturally they will not stay in Kyoto again."

"Didn't the monsters come long ago?"

"No, look at this." As he said, Yuko took a long letter. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a letter as a report, because it is too long, and it is still pointed after being folded several times. The thickness of the tip.

Wu Ye took it over and read it in a serious manner, and then said solemnly to Yuko: "I don't understand."

"..."

In desperation, Yuko had to personally explain the content of the letter to Wu Ye, and the main summary is one sentence-another city has fallen.

This is shocking news. You must know that they just repelled the Tengu troops who came to investigate yesterday. What kind of fairy operation was that they lost ground today?

"Well, it's actually an intelligence error." Yuko's tone suddenly became a little awkward.

After her explanation, Wu Ye understood the problem. It turned out that the Wenwen he and Qingming repelled yesterday was not a "reconnaissance force" at all, but the vanguard of the monsters who came to show off near Kyoto after the victory.

The Yokai had formulated a raid plan earlier. With its powerful strength and various weird abilities, the Yokai easily cut off most of the outposts north of Kyoto. When Kyoto got the news, the Northland had already fallen. .

And Wenwen and the others accidentally ran into a human reconnaissance unit when they came out for a "walk," and they were retired by Seimei.

On the surface, this is indeed a hard-won victory for mankind, but in reality it is not much different, but it is also the sad news of the complete destruction of the North.

The complete fall of the Northland means that no other city can serve as the defense line of Kyoto, and this luxurious capital will become the front line against monsters.
