687: Chapter 100: Violent Methods of Prolonging Life 687: Chapter 100: Violent Methods of Prolonging Life Mo Xiaofei originally didn’t want to have a conflict with these two self-proclaimed goddesses…
well, let’s just call them goddesses.
He didn’t want to start anything with them, and the resistance was only because the other side made the first move.
However, such behavior of fighting at the slightest disagreement did not align with his views.
So, despite his plaints about their initial attack, he didn’t truly take it to heart—if he switched places, and someone suddenly intruded upon something of his, his first thought would likely also be a self-protective mechanism.
Thinking from the other’s perspective was something Mo Xiaofei learned only after ing here—this way, he became less impulsive and more rational.
The difference between bullying the weak and being truly strong is just a small step.
“Ladies, I mean no offense, I’m sorry.” Mo Xiaofei nodded and then took a step back, clearly seeing that these two goddesses were very averse to strangers approaching casually.
The two Munakata Goddesses quickly exchanged a glance.
They were born almost simultaneously, not only possessing great power but also a deep mutual understanding.
This human warrior possessed a special power, capable of ignoring divine power, and the brief contact even injured one of them—causing harm to a god is a very serious matter.
Although Yan Wuyue claims to have eight million beings, in the eyes of the Munakata Three Goddesses, the so-called eight million is just a fictitious number.
In Yan Wuyue, all things can bee gods, but most are just weak individuals.
Ordinary people, ignorant as they are, hold reverence for anything slightly beyond their ability.
So, human warriors or powerful monks and miko obtaining rewards from evil spirits and monsters is not surprising to the Three Goddesses—but for a human warrior to oppose gods with true divine power, that is impossible.
True gods possess divine power, which is the fundamental reason mortals hold them in reverence and don’t dare resist, just like their Divine Lord Amaterasu-ōmikami; when Amaterasu is angry, no one in Takamagahara dares to offend—that is the truly earth-shattering power.
Yet this human warrior managed to sever actual divine power…
if all human warriors mastered such special powers, wouldn’t that mean…
Amaterasu-ōmikami must have sent these goddesses to this remote village to monitor the emergence of such a mysterious power capable of shaking the foundation of the gods’ rule.
“Who are you?” After a quick exchange, Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto looked at Mo Xiaofei and asked solemnly.
“Kojiro, uh…
Sasaki Kojiro.”
Mo Xiaofei thought for a while, feeling that these two goddesses seemed somewhat unreliable, so he played it safe and only provided the name of the body’s original owner.
“So it’s Lord Kojiro.” Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto nodded, then said seriously, “Just now, I was quite rude.”
However, in her mind, she was already planning to investigate the origins of this Samurai Sasaki Kojiro through her own divine connections when she returned—a warrior able to sever divine power should not be unknown.
Lord Kojiro?
What nonsense is this…
The change in atmosphere within a second made Mo Xiaofei a bit dazed, but, from what he remembered, the Yan Wuyue World had a lot in mon with District 11, so maybe it’s how they emphasize etiquette?
“No, no, no, I was also at fault.” Mo Xiaofei shook his head, unsure how to respond.
As the saying goes, it’s hard to hit a smiling face; this was indeed awkward.
“No, we too were mistaken.
The situation was unclear, and we were the first to act.
Although it was a justified reaction, our actions were too excessive.
Now, thinking it over, it’s fortunate it was Lord Kojiro.
If it had been ordinary people, they might have been in real danger…
we, in the end, did mishandle things a bit.”
“Actually, my eavesdropping initially was somewhat wrong too…”
The conflict didn’t break out, and instead, both sides began apologizing—this script was feeling a little off…
Mo Xiaofei finally shook his head.
He didn’t have the confidence to handle this deeply ingrained etiquette, so he straightforwardly asked, “Great Goddesses, may I ask why you have e to Zaodao Village?”
Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto slowly said, “We were passing by and noticed some peculiar irregularities in Zaodao Village, so we stopped to have a brief look.
I wonder why Lord Kojiro is also…”
Spoilers and ments didn’t mention gods popping up in this story, did they?
Mo Xiaofei furrowed his brows…
did he perhaps pick up the wrong script?
“I’ve been separated from my panions,” Mo Xiaofei thought and said, “Passing by Zaodao Village, I planned to inquire about them here.
Due to the day’s fading light, I intended to lodge in the village tonight.”
“I see.” Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto nodded.
Suddenly, Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto asked, “Lord Kojiro, the panions you mentioned, are they also as strong as you?”
Mo Xiaofei rubbed his chin and instinctively replied, “Perhaps stronger than me?”
He had seen Zhuifeng directly confront his current teacher, the Godly Land.
Although Zhuifeng seemed unable to display that power temporarily, who knows when Zhuifeng might suddenly ignite his power and easily overe all opponents?
In that case, Mo Xiaofei admitted he truly couldn’t win, so using ‘probably stronger than me’ to describe them wasn’t an error.
The three goddesses would never have guessed that the panion of this warrior was a truly genuine monster.
They assumed his panion was another powerful warrior…
someone even stronger than this person who could sever divine power?
Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto couldn’t help but carefully ask, “Lord Kojiro, may I ask if your panions…
are many?”
“Quite a few, actually.” Mo Xiaofei wasn’t worried, as clearly, he was soul-traveling here.
There was definitely an information gap from his original world.
If Zhuifeng breaks out with power, Mo Xiaofei admits he can’t match that, let alone his teacher Long Xiruo, or the origin of all his abilities, that Boss…
This was something Mo Xiaofei never intended to ponder and avoided thinking about!
Mo Xiaofei always felt whenever his teacher mentioned that Boss, though often calling him a shrewd merchant occasionally, she seemed lacking in confidence when saying it.
Indeed!
The human martial artist mastered the terrifying power that could shake the foundation of the god’s rule!
The two goddesses exchanged quick glances once more—although unsure if Kojiro’s claim of merely passing through was true—if it was merely coincidence and unrelated to Amaterasu-ōmikami’s orders for them to monitor Zaodao Village’s secrets, then this discovery might be an unexpected pleasure.
It could even be more important than the mystery hidden in Zaodao Village—after all, it relates to the foundation of the gods!
We must report this!
Absolutely must report back immediately!
However, they also needed to stabilize this human warrior and gather more information from him!
With a mere exchange of glances, Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto and Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto had already planned what they needed to do.
Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto nodded this time, “I have some matters to attend to, I’ll take my leave first.”
Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto nodded in agreement, “I shall wait here quietly for sister’s return!”
Okitsu-Shima-Hime-No-Mikoto was enveloped by a faint white light and then faded into the distance.
Mo Xiaofei watched for a moment, thinking with that speed, he could probably do it too…
except he didn’t have the holy light-like effect!
“Lord Kojiro, would you acpany me to explore the peculiarities of Zaodao Village?” Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto suddenly invited.
Mo Xiaofei thought for a bit, and then he straightforwardly agreed.
“But, could you wait a moment?” Mo Xiaofei stated earnestly, “I have a matter to handle, but I’ll be right back.”
“No problem, I will wait here for Lord Kojiro’s return,” Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto slowly bowed, putting aside her goddess identity, she seemed a tender young lady.
After all, a goddess is the embodiment of beauty.
And such beauty largely originates from human imagination.
…
…
Da Zhe tried to deepen the connection between himself and Zhan Lu…
God knows when that Arex might make a move?
Facing a god of a world, the whole idea sounds like nonsense, so naturally Da Zhe felt a bit insecure.
However, he wasn’t the type to back down…
so he resolved to prepare more.
Zaodao Village…
the words carved on the stela ahead probably said something like that.
Da Zhe couldn’t read these characters, but since Boss Luo and the maid had stopped here and had mentioned this village’s name before, it must be the right place.
On another hill, You Ye gazed at the village below, surrounded by crisscrossing fields.
It was summer in the Yan Wuyue World, and there was a stifling heat even at night.
Along a creek below, the glow of fireflies floated like luminous dandelions, adorning different parts of the hillside while the paddy fields lay calm as a mirror.
Without the wind, they became even more peaceful.
The reflections of twinkling stars and moonlight were captured in their glow, forming a celestial river.
At this moment, a streak of light cut through the night sky and disappeared.
Only then did Boss Luo withdraw his gaze, with a faint smile on his face, “… It has matured quite a bit, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, indeed,” You Ye smiled.
Da Zhe watched the departing glow, contemplating, “Boss, is that a god?”
He felt capable of dealing with it, as Zhan Lu simultaneously sent a disdainful thought.
“The gods of this place,” Boss Luo corrected.
Da Zhe frowned and subconsciously asked, “What if they’re not here?”
“They can’t leave this place,” Luo Qiu shook his head, “They wouldn’t be accepted outside.”
Da Zhe asked blankly, “Why?”
Luo Qiu looked at Da Zhe and replied unexpectedly, “Would you accept another version of yourself appearing before you?
One who might have the same memories, abilities, even emotions as you?”
“This…” Da Zhe pondered for a long while before finally shaking his head, “I don’t know, but…
is it possible?”
You Ye interjected, “We are unique, so it’s not possible.”
Da Zhe seemed to think of something but couldn’t grasp it.
Luo Qiu suddenly waved his hand, causing Da Zhe to feel as though he was being pulled away.
He glanced back and felt as if the space behind him had suddenly collapsed.
“Since the customer isn’t ing so soon…
why don’t you warm up a bit?” Luo Qiu said suddenly, “You’ve only used Zhan Lu to cut down a resentful spirit at the reservoir once, you should train more.”
Da Zhe nodded; whatever the boss asked, he would do, as he had long decided to bee the boss’s sharpest sword due to a great favor.
“Where to?”
Luo Qiu replied, “It should be called Ghost Island, it’s overseas, so you can be a bit more indulgent.”
Da Zhe nodded and turned, stepping directly into the collapsing space.
At this moment, Zhan Lu emitted a jubilant and vibrant thought, as if it had already bee excited from having been dormant for too long.
The collapsed space gradually stabilized.
Luo Qiu shifted his gaze downward, looking at a grand mansion within Zaodao Village.
It was a place still lit in the dark night.
Luo Qiu murmured softly, “Mr.
Arex, still prefers nightmares more, huh…”
You Ye added, “Because beautiful dreams are hard to e true, nightmares seem a bit more realistic.”
Boss Luo suddenly asked, “Have you ever dreamed?”
You Ye shook her head; she doesn’t dream, nor can she.
With a flip of his palm, Luo Qiu revealed, “A gift for you.”
It was a beautifully wrapped gift box.
The maid was startled, her adorable face gazing at her master.
Luo Qiu chuckled softly, “I have gifts for all my guests, especially for you.”
You Ye blinked with her beautiful eyes, receiving it with both hands from Luo Qiu, “Master, can I choose when I want to open it myself?”
“Then keep it for now,” Luo Qiu nodded.
With a gesture towards the front, he smiled, “Acpany me for a walk over there.”
The maid naturally nodded obediently.
…
…
Mo Xiao returned directly to Xizhilang’s house.
He was unwilling to use his superpower to harm ordinary people, and although he had impulsively used a mental blast on the bamboo pole, he remained concerned about potential adverse effects, so he needed to return and ensure everything was alright.
Additionally, he was highly curious about the bamboo pole’s request…
It seemed to deviate significantly from the script he had.
Even gods appeared in this small Zaodao Village.
“Could it be that boss’s handiwork?”
To pull people into such a magical world, such a method, in Mo Xiaofei’s opinion, could only be from that boss, right?
While thinking, Mo Xiaofei awoke the bamboo pole with another mental stimulus.
As she slowly regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she found herself resting in a futon, while ‘Lord Kojiro’ sat cross-legged beside her.
Her first thought was whether she had received special favor, so she blushed and lifted the blanket to check her body.
Her clothes were intact…
Seeing her actions, Mo Xiaofei understood what she was thinking, cleared his throat awkwardly a couple of times, and then seriously asked, “Bamboo, why did you do such a thing?
Is there something you can’t talk about?
Why did you tell me…
uh, that you’ll die?”
“I…
I need a man’s Essence Qi, otherwise…” Bamboo lowered her head sadly, “I…
I can’t survive.”
Such a violent way to sustain life???
