Chapter 275

In the courtyard of the White Jade Building, the pale and beautiful dead princess, wearing mourning clothes and exuding a dark and dead aura, sighed: "... Zi brought a stranger here."

Then, the deep and complex voice gradually faded away, and the contemplation on the face of the dead princess disappeared, and she became silly and cute again.

Chapter 23 Saigyouji Yuyuko

The huge cherry tree towered into the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

For anyone who came to the underworld, the first thing that caught their eyes and aroused their curiosity must be the withered cherry tree that almost covered the entire underworld.

Yakumo Yukari's crystal-clear, mysterious and deep beautiful eyes stared at the cherry tree with a complicated mind.

She held a folding fan in her jade hand, gently embellished her sad and beautiful red lips, and sighed: "...That's the Saigyou monster."

Xixiang just glanced at the monster sage who was recalling the past. He didn't say anything, waiting for her next words.

"Cherry blossoms symbolize death, and the people of this island have an extreme worship of cherry blossom-like death."

"...Under this worship, the concepts of cherry blossoms and death eventually converged into this incredible demon tree."

"It was born with death, and gathered all the pursuit of death in the history of this island country."

"...If it really turns into a monster, it must be a monster beyond imagination. Even we dare not face the extreme breath of death."

Yakumo Yukari's eyes flashed with a few memories of the past, and she said softly: "...If this big monster really gave birth to self-awareness, it must be this result."

"...But a thousand years ago, a wizard discovered this cherry tree and noticed its terribleness and the disaster it would inevitably bring to mankind."

"This wizard is very compassionate and does not want to see the lives of the people suffer, so he wants to seal this monster tree before it is born."

"...The wizard used countless methods, but none of them helped. In the end, he thought of a cruel but effective way."

" Since this monster cherry tree has not yet developed its own consciousness, it is enough to just replace its consciousness. "

"... But it is not easy to replace the consciousness of the monster tree. The conditions required are very harsh. The fact that you need to have a similar aura of death to this monster tree alone has already ruled out most people."

"The method the wizard finally chose was to let his unborn child be infected with the aura of this monster tree."

"... Unborn babies are pure and flawless, just like a blank sheet of paper, able to accept everything."

"The wizard's method was very successful. The baby was born smoothly. She had the same aura of death as this cherry tree when she was born, and the baby also had excellent talents."

"... I don't know if it is the baby's luck or misfortune. She just met the harsh conditions."

Xiang and Yakumo Yukari walked on the long stairs. Hearing this, he said: "... The wizard may be compassionate and save mankind."

"... But for that child, it is absolutely cruel and brutal."

What happened next, Xiang could guess without Yakumo Yukari saying that it was a tragedy.

"Yes, to sacrifice his own child to save all living beings, do you think that Master Xixing is merciful, or is he essentially a demon?"

Yakumo Yukari raised her lips with a sneer of sarcasm.

Xiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "... I think you are making a veiled accusation, you are hinting at me."

The monster sage's beautiful eyes curved, giggling charmingly: "... Mr. Zarat, you are overthinking, I just said it casually, I didn't refer to anyone."

Xiang did not comment on this.

"The girl, who was born with the breath of death, was weak and had difficulty moving. She could only live in a house built near the monster tree."

"...One day, a monster was injured in a fight and came here accidentally."

"The monster sneaked into the house of the Westward Journey Wizard, intending to secretly recover from his injuries, but was discovered by the girl."

"...The monster wanted to capture the girl and take her hostage, but who would have thought that the girl was born with the breath of the monster tree. Although her body was thin, she possessed powerful magic power."

"The monster was accidentally captured by the girl. Just when the monster was desperate and thought he would die, When the monster was about to die, who would have thought that the girl would not only not kill the monster, but would heal her wounds instead. "

"...Although the girl had good intentions, the monster did not trust humans and resisted at first, but with the girl's persistence, the monster gradually let down its guard and became friends with her."

"That was a rare quiet day in the monster's life, a happy time that still makes her smile from the bottom of her heart when she recalls it now."

Yakumo Yukari spoke slowly, just as she said at the end, when she recalled the past, she still smiled unconsciously, which shows that she did not lie.

It was indeed an unforgettable happy time.

"Sir Zaratul, is this story very vulgar?"

The monster sage looked at the devil beside him and asked with narrowed eyes.

Saigo shook his head and said, "... the more vulgar the routine is, the more attractive it is."

"... if it is an old man with extensive knowledge, the story may be vulgar; but if the person listening to the story is a young person who has just grown up, he will definitely be attracted by the story."

"The reason why routine and vulgarity are the most useful is that they can always attract people."

Xixiang turned his head and looked at Yakumo Murasaki's delicate and beautiful face, and at her exquisite and graceful figure, as if he recalled that this perfect body once wailed in front of him... .

He smiled again: "...Zi, you don't want to say that that monster is your friend, do you?"

Yakumo Zi shook her head gently and said: "...If it were something else, even if the listener didn't believe it, we would have said something like this."

"...But this is the only thing we will definitely admit. That monster is us!"

After a pause, Yakumo Zi told the story to the end, "...Happy time is always short."

"...The day has finally come when the monster tree must be sealed. The so-called sealing is a sacrifice."

"After the monster found out about this, he tried his best to stop it. He even had a fight with the kind girl because of this."

"...But even a monster that has regained its full strength cannot capture the girl without hurting her."

"Just when the monster was thinking of a more cruel method, the girl told her: 'Zi, if you hurt other innocent people for me, I will hate you for the rest of my life.'"

"...It was such a simple sentence that made the monster give up."

"The seal was finally successful. The girl lost her life and was buried under the cherry blossom tree. The blooming demon tree completely declined, and all the flowers withered."

"...The girl successfully replaced the demon tree's consciousness and became an undead that can only linger near the demon tree."

"She lost all her memory, but the monster didn't care and still became friends with her, but that's another story."

After saying that, Yakumo 5.5 Purple stopped saying anything, and she stood motionless.

Xixiang also stopped. He looked at the huge withered cherry tree again, pondered for a moment and then asked: "...So what you want to ask me is."

"...Am I capable of taking this entire tree away from Gensokyo?"

Yakumo Murasaki nodded vigorously and said: "...Yes, because this sealed tree is that girl, the body of Saigyouji Yuyuko."

"...If the entire tree cannot be taken away, then Youyuko will usher in real death. And this tree is too powerful, even we can't do anything about it."

"If you can do it, I'll leave it to you and do whatever you want with this body!"

Before Xixiang could say anything, a voice that carried the coldness of death but was as beautiful as an orchid in an empty valley came from this desolate and silent land:

"...Zi, did you bring new friends? Were you telling a story just now?".

Chapter 24 We sisters are honest with each other

What appeared in front of Xixiang was a woman with a cold temperament but a gentle face.

She is slender and tall, with light pink hair like cherry blossoms.

Her facial features are soft, her cherry-colored eyes reveal a touch of tenderness, her nose is high and beautiful, and her small red lips adorn her perfect face, exuding a kind of ascetic temptation.

The woman's skin was too pale and transparent, and she didn't look like a living person. Even from a distance, you could still feel the coldness emanating from her body, which was the breath of the dead.

Without breathing or heartbeat, this beautiful person who suddenly appeared in front of Xixiang was indeed a dead soul.

She wore a blue and white kimono with lots of ruffles and a lace collar, and a ribbon with a bow on her chest.

The kimono was very wide, covering the girl's graceful figure. Except for a section of transparent jade-like skin at the cuffs, the clothes revealed nothing.

Only when she moves, you can see that her pair of small feet are not wearing clogs that complement the kimono, but Mary Jane shoes used in gothic lolita outfits.

This slightly uncoordinated outfit does not damage the girl's beauty, but makes her radiant.

"Youyuko!"

After seeing the visitor, Yakumo Purple's expression became softer than ever before. She was like a child who had not grown up, laughing and leaping across the distance between the two and hugging her.

The monster sage is like a koala hanging on Yuyuko Saigyoji's body.

She put a pair of jade arms around the graceful neck of the undead princess, and she looked more like a female gangster. She buried her head into Yuyouzi's neck and took a deep breath.

The girl named Saigyouji Yuyuko was startled for a moment. She looked cute and cute, and she seemed to be slow and leisurely whether she was walking or doing things.

It felt like slow motion that only dead people can have. It didn't look like a living person at all.

"Zi, a stranger is watching."

Saigyouji Yuyuko's beautiful eyes looked at Xixiang with curiosity.

After meeting Xixiang's eyes, she showed no shyness and instead nodded to Xixiang.

Her cherry-colored eyes flashed with interest. Yuyuko looked at Saigo and then at Yakumo Murasaki, probably guessing the relationship between the two.

Yuyuko's long shawl-colored cherry blossom hair teased Yakumo Murasaki's cheeks, tickling the monster sage.

She fiddled with the hair on Youyou Zixiang's shoulder, glanced at Xixiang charmingly and said, "...He is not a stranger."

"...Our relationship with him is very close."

Saigyouji Yuyuko tilted her little head and said innocently and cutely: "...How close is Zi to her?"

Yakumo Purple thought for a while and replied ambiguously: "...It's the kind of intimacy where you can be honest with each other."

Saigyouji Yuyuko thought for a while, her delicate face looked a little confused, as if she was thinking about the meaning of Yakumo Murasaki's words.

Then she suddenly realized: "...it turns out that Zi and he have such a good relationship, I'm going to be jealous."

Yuyuko, who clearly understood the meaning of Yakumo Purple's words, was not shy at all. Instead, she teased Yakumo Purple. A sly smile seemed to flash in her eyes and she said:

"...When Zi has a baby, you must hold it and show it to me to see if it is as cute as the little Youmu."

A woman who can be best friends with Yakumo Murasaki cannot be that innocent in character. Yuyuko Saigyouji is also a sinister person.

Listening to the conversation between Saigyouji Yuyuko and Yakumo Murasaki, Saigo thought secretly.

"Lord Youyuko!"

Saigyouji Yuyuko was not shy, but a little girl next to her yelled.

She was a half-human, half-spirit girl who looked young.

Her silver hair was styled like a younger sister, with a black sash on her head. She wore a white shirt with a green suit vest and skirt. She looked very petite and capable.

The girl didn't look very short. She was wearing sailor socks and Mary Jane shoes under her slender calves. What was particularly strange was a white soul-like object floating around her waist.

When she heard Yuyouzi complimenting herself on her cuteness, the girl felt a little embarrassed and said with a flushed face: "... Lord Yuyouzi, as your court master and bodyguard, please don't describe me like this."

"...Cuteness is not a quality that a guard should have!"

When Youyuko heard what Soul Youmu said, she smiled evilly and said, "...Youmu Youmu is just too serious. If you continue like this, you won't be liked by others."

This simple sentence made Soul Youmu panic, and she began to search for her behavior. Did her behavior really make Yuyuko-sama not like it?

Yakumo Purple smiled crisply at the side, her whole weight once again pressed on Yuyuko's delicate body, "... Yuyuko likes to bully Youmu."

She rolled her eyes and said again: "...If you are jealous, Youyouzi, and feel that I no longer like you, you can come and please me."

Youyouzi was very taken aback and asked: "...Then how can I please Zi Huan?"

"Youyouzi is our best friend. We sisters can be honest with each other in front of Mr. Zaratul."

Saying this, Yakumo Murasaki glanced at Saigo, as if to say, 'Look, I've introduced all my besties to you.'

Xigyouji Youyouzi thought seriously, then solemnly nodded and said: "...This is actually a good idea."

"Lord Youyuko!"

The soul demon wailed, Master Youyouzi, your idea is too problematic. I just want to be a court master and take good care of Master Youyouzi. Why is it so difficult?

Of course Saigo didn't believe what Yakumo Murasaki said. Nine out of ten sentences this woman said were probably false.

If he really showed such an intention, Yakumo Purple would definitely be wary of him and then find a way to destroy his plans and ideas.

Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, Yakumo Purple will definitely do this. This is her character.

At this time, Saigo took a few steps forward, nodded to Yuyuko of Saigyouji Temple and said with a smile: "...My name is Zarathustra, Miss Yuyuko."

Youyouzi's curious beautiful eyes stared at Xixiang for a long time, and then the corner of her mouth raised a beautiful and cold smile: "...Xiyouji Youyouzi, just call me Youyouzi, Mr. Zaratul !”
