Chapter 223

"First, we need to clarify one thing: what is true death for Yuyuko?"

Jia Ji raised a question and then added: "Just as a fragile human will die if their heart is pierced by a small hole, a yokai can live even if they lose their entire heart. The definitions of death for yokai and humans are not the same, right?"

Because this fantasy world truly has a Hell and a Netherworld.

Losing the physical body that can move in the mortal world, but still having a soul left, can be called death, but it is not true death.

Death is not the end; forgetting is.

True death is forgetting.

The complete and total disappearance of existence.

But generally speaking, souls do not remember things from their lifetime and instead become white spirits similar to mochi.

Occasionally, those who maintain their own form and thinking ability are nine times out of ten vengeful spirits or evil spirits who cannot attain Buddhahood. Even their original nature from life is completely changed, and they will be suppressed in Hell, unless they know some god-tier escape technique, though that would probably have to be called 【Anti-Prison King】 (laughs).

Ba Yun Zi nodded, because the thing trailing behind the Hunpo Yaoji had been called a "○-child" by the outspoken Jia Ji. If she became like that, she could hardly be called Saigyouji Yuyuko, right?

"And the most critical point is that her soul is firmly bound to the Xixing Yokai, and the one in the dominant position is that main body, the Cherry Tree of the Netherworld's Huang Quan, not the pitifully small human soul." Jia Ji paused and continued: "Therefore, letting Yuyuko's ghost break free from the shackles of the Xixing Yokai while possessing her memories from life is the best solution."

Yuyuko, who had been listening in a daze from start to finish, pondered for a long time and finally reached a conclusion—

She would still die, but she would continue to exist in another way after death, becoming a special ghost with memories. But is this possible?

"It's fine." Jia Ji stood up to comfort her, waved his large hand, then clenched his fist and shouted fiercely, "Because—the power of love is infinite!"

Although there was no way to put a muscular black-and-white here, there was an even stronger Super Beidou man!

The white bandages that had always been wrapped around his arms suddenly exploded, his muscle fibers expanded and bulged, making his clothes almost burst. In an instant, the wind surged, the flames boiled, and he turned into an incomparably rugged muscular art style.

He stood in the burning blue flames and punched toward the sky. The fierce fist wind that could crack the earth and collapse mountains struck into the sky, and sunlight full of hope spilled down from the cracks in the clouds, setting him off to shine brilliantly.

Although it was rare, if the connection between the Xixing Yokai and Yuyuko were severed, there would still be a lifespan theory between Ba Yun Zi and Yuyuko.

But as long as Yuyuko became a ghost with memories, all problems would be solved, and even the lifespan theory would be resolved.

"That seems to be the logic indeed." Ba Yun Zi imagined a timeline where the ghost Yuyuko forgot her, and she couldn't help but tremble all over. Don't let that kind of thing happen.

"I'm going to do it!" Jia Ji, whose art style had returned slightly, turned to look at the Yokai Sage, grinned, raised his eyebrows, and revealed a punchable face.

Spring Snow Incident, shatter!

Lifespan theory, shatter!

Millennium group, continue!

Feng Jian Youxiang, who had grown up a little bit in this short time and whose power was gradually beginning to recover, glanced at this guy, somewhat surprised that his brain was not like his appearance, but unexpectedly easy to use.

"So, how exactly do you plan to solve it, and who are you looking for?"

Feng Jian Youxiang didn't believe in love or momentum or anything, because she herself was actually shaken here by Jia Ji.

As for what Jia Ji actually did in the gap to make the Flower Tyrant not explode with him, but instead be willing to step out of her sunflower field to solve the Xixing Yokai and go fight the Lunar War?

You have to know that the silver-tongued Ba Yun Zi had tried her best to explain but hadn't piqued the slightest interest in Feng Jian Youxiang.

However, Ba Yun Zi hadn't defeated Feng Jian Youxiang one-on-one. Although she had caused the Flower Tyrant no small amount of trouble due to the strange nature of her abilities, to make Feng Jian Youxiang listen to her, one had to possess sufficient power.

And Jia Ji, who had defeated her head-on, only possessed the qualification to make Feng Jian Youxiang take him seriously; he was still far from convincing her.

Then, could it be flower-eating... ahem, of course not!

At this time, the black-and-white mouse and her magical mushrooms hadn't appeared yet, so she wouldn't easily be led into an 18X timeline.

"I didn't do anything, I was just preparing to crack melon seeds in front of her... Where did the melon seeds come from? Hey, weren't they everywhere in that huge flower field before?"

If Feng Jian Youxiang remained indifferent under these circumstances, then don't blame Jia Ji for using Shura methods—feeding the melon seeds to the flower yokai!

So vicious that even the Yokai Sage, who was known for being ruthless, felt it was a bit extreme.

Invincible, it could be called invincible.

Cracking melon seeds openly in front of the Flower Mom, if it spread to the Myriad Realms of the Heavens, everyone would have to give Jia Ji a thumbs up and say he is the one.

However, even so, it certainly wouldn't be able to move the iron-hearted Feng Jian Youxiang. Even if he threatened her, "Sister, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your sunflower field, would you?", it would be useless.

This was a woman with no weak points.

Therefore, Jia Ji brought out his ultimate move—"Hourai Jade Branch."

"The legendary 'Hourai Jade Branch' is actually just a branch of the Udumbara that exists only in the Lunar Capital. There are plants on the ground called Udumbara flowers, and although they have the characteristic of rarely blooming, they aren't that exaggerated. It's just hearsay; in the end, it's still a plant, completely different from the one in the Lunar Capital, you know."

"How about it, you really want to see it too, right?"

I have to say, he definitely piqued Feng Jian Youxiang's interest.

"Silver for branches, gold for stems, jade for fruit... the Udumbara rumored to possess unparalleled beauty..."

How could a yokai who loved flowers pass up this opportunity to catch a glimpse of its beauty?

"I've calculated it, at this time, we just need to go find a certain red-and-blue colored white-haired physician!"

"Who is that?"

"Hehe, it is none other than the famous Lunar brain-thrombosis, one of the Lunar Capital defectors to be fought later, the oldest of the three great sages of Gensokyo, who in terms of pure versatility might be comparable to Yuki..."

—Yagokoro Eirin!

Yagokoro Omoikane-no-kami, with the ability to create any medicine, the strongest brain who can mass-produce even heaven-defying things like the Hourai Elixir just by thinking about it!

Jia Ji didn't believe that with the gathered wisdom of the Lunar Sage, the Yokai Sage, and his own Jia Ji-sama, they couldn't let Yuyuko retain her memories from life when she became a ghost.

"Don't let waiting become a regret!"

Yuyuko, now is the time for me to 【save】 you!
