Chapter 138 Come on, I promise I won't kill you.
Using his divine power, Yu Bai easily scooped up the stone medium that sealed Tianyin Feimeng from the small platform at the edge of the cliff and gently held it in his hand. With a forceful pull, the hard stone instantly shattered into countless pieces, rolling to the ground with a crisp sound.
With the sound of a pebble hitting the ground, a burst of brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from within the shattered stone.
The golden light was particularly conspicuous on the Sanyu Mountain at night. As the golden light grew brighter, a figure slowly appeared in front of Yu Bai.
She wore a white and purple kimono, a white mask with deer antlers, and small red flowers on both sides of her face. It was the same outfit that Yu Bai had prepared for Tianyin Feimeng before he left, and it was also the outfit of Fengyue Shen.
"Master, it's been a long time." A voice exactly like Yu Bai's rang out, and Tianyin Feimeng slowly took off her mask, standing still and quietly looking at the person in front of her.
His users, his master.
"Long time no see, Tianyin Feimeng. Thank you for your hard work all this time."
He stepped forward and hugged Tianyin Feimeng, who was standing an arm's length away from him. Now, his natal weapon, which had been away from him for so long, had returned to his side once again.
"It's no trouble at all, Master. Also, I noticed that the spirit on your body seems a bit agitated. Should we summon it?"
Once again, as if returning to the past, Tianyin Feimeng, held in her master's arms, rubbed against Yu Bai's shoulder and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Bai glanced down at the small dagger making a clicking sound in his pocket. He smiled slightly and took Shinano Toushirou out of his pocket. In the blink of an eye, a red-haired little boy appeared before Yu Bai and Amane Feimeng.
"Shinano, what's wrong?"
"Eh? General, is this a sword spirit that has been transformed from your weapon?"
As soon as he emerged, Shinano Toushirou stared in shock at Amane Hime, who looked exactly like his own Saniwa. The reason his true form had been trembling was because he had seen Amane Hime's appearance.
This made him suspect that this person might be a tsukumogami (spirit of a sword) transformed from one of his general's swords, since some sword tsukumogami look very similar to their original owners, such as Yamato no Kami Yasusada in their citadel.
However, it is extremely rare for them to grow up to be exactly the same.
However, just thinking about a sword spirit with the face of a Saniwa coming to the citadel is sure to cause a stir.
Seeing the surprised expression on Shinano Toushirou's face, Yu Bai couldn't help but ruffle his smooth red hair. He smiled and introduced him, "He is Tenon Hisui, not a sword spirit. I think you've seen him before, since I often use him to play the koto and heal you, haven't I?"
"So it's the general's koto? Hello, Mr. Amane, I am Shinano Toushirou, the short swordsman."
Upon hearing Yu Bai say that the person before him was Tenon Fei-mu, Shinano Toushirou suddenly realized. He quickly thought of the koto, the weapon that often appeared beside the general.
Although they are not sword spirits, as weapons of the Saniwa, they are similar in a sense. Furthermore, the fact that Amane Feimeng's face is exactly the same as Yu Bai's immediately raised the short sword's popularity to a very high level.
After a cheerful introduction, Shinano Toushirou reluctantly returned to his main body. He couldn't wait to get back to the citadel and tell his brothers.
"By the way, I've always been curious, how exactly were you sealed away by the exorcist?" Yu Bai asked with a somewhat inquisitive expression, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Tianyin Feimeng sighed softly, "About three years ago, I noticed that the divine power you, Master, had injected into my body was gradually becoming weaker. In order to conserve the consumption of divine power, I decided to return to the shrine to sleep normally."
Unexpectedly, one day, a voice came from outside the shrine. Before I could fully wake from my slumber, I was sealed away by an arrogant exorcist.
At this point, Tianyin Feimeng got angry. How could someone seal him away as a monster when he was sleeping peacefully in the shrine?
Can't you see such a big shrine? I'll say it again, that's a shrine! A shrine!
Suddenly, many "crosses" appeared on Tianyin Feimeng's forehead. I've seen blind people before, but I've never seen anyone this blind.
You even made yourself lose face in front of your master. You demon exorcist, come here, I promise I won't kill you!
Upon hearing this, Yu Bai gently patted Tianyin Feimeng's shoulder and said softly, "I see. Sometimes things are just that absurd. Tianyin, turn back into your guqin form and get some rest. After I attend the festival tomorrow, I'll take you back to Honmaru."
As he spoke, Yu Bai put the small dagger back into his pocket and then extended his palm towards Tianyin Feimeng. Accompanied by a burst of dazzling golden light, a guqin with a body interwoven with blue and aquamarine and a head shaped like distant mountains reappeared in Yu Bai's hand.
Carefully placing Tianyin Feimeng back into his game backpack, Yu Bai once again used his great lightness skill, returning to the guesthouse room silently like a light feather.
I'm going to check out the festival tomorrow. I wonder how those little white-hatted monsters will compete with Bu Yue without Tianyin Feimeng.
……
The next morning, as dawn broke, Yu Bai and Natori Shuichi met early at the entrance of the guesthouse, preparing to enter Misumi Mountain to search for traces of the "Toyotsuki-no-Kami".
Yu Bai, who was silently following behind Natori Shuichi, suddenly remembered that the person this man was looking for, Fengyue Shen, also known as Tianyin Feimeng, had been put away by him last night. Instantly, a subtle sense of guilt crept into his heart.
Ah, this...
Otherwise, at the start of the competition, they could take off their disguise and reveal their identity?
Just as Yu Bai was secretly making plans, Natori Shuichi had already led him into the Misumi Mountains. He turned around and instructed the three shikigami behind him: "You three, go and investigate the whereabouts of Toyotsuki-no-Kami among the yokai. Yu Bai and I will go to the competition venue, Misumihara, to see the specific situation."
Because the Misumi Mountain area is quite large, Natori Shuichi decided to split up with his shikigami to increase efficiency and save time.
Upon hearing Natori Shuichi's words, the three shikigami hesitated. It wasn't that they were unwilling to investigate, but rather that they were genuinely worried about leaving Natori Shuichi alone on Mount Misumi.
What if we encounter a monster?
Although Natori Shuichi was accompanied by Yu Bai, Yu Bai's appearance and demeanor gave them a very strong illusion.
“Lord Natori, we are really worried about you being here alone... How about letting Hiiragi go with you?”
……
Tianyin Feimeng: A grumpy healer, dealing damage online. Damn you, demon hunter, come here! I absolutely won't kill you. (Almost dead, he casts a heal, then continues attacking.)
Yu Bai: Cough cough... I have to hold back my laughter, I have to give Tianyin face... Pfft~ (covers mouth and chuckles)
Shinano Toushirou: Good heavens, there's a tsukumogami that looks exactly like the General! If we go back to the citadel and take him to Awataguchi's room, will they be able to play and sleep with Amane Himemu? In other words, they'll be able to play and sleep with the General!
