Chapter 226

Just like the bamboo forest, the space inside Eientei was much larger than it looked from the outside, and could even be described as empty. The decorations inside interpreted the words "luxurious simplicity" to the extreme, and the placement of every item was full of aesthetic beauty, but...

Crack! Crack!

Sounds like glass breaking rang out continuously.

Circle after circle of terrifying ring-shaped air waves bloomed in Eientei. The ground shook violently and incessantly. The back-and-forth shockwaves shattered all the furnishings, and huge cracks spread from the floor to the walls in all directions.

In the middle of the exchange, without stopping his hand movements, Jia Ji's eyes narrowed, seeing the archer behind through the fluctuations of the heavy air.

A goddess in a red and blue alternating Daoist robe, with silver-white hair tied into braids, was firing her longbow continuously. Her speed was comparable to a machine gun, and she was expressionlessly launching attacks.

Eirin Yagokoro.

Although she looked like a young girl, her expression and temperament had that unique feeling of an immortal, a kind of vicissitude of "what big waves haven't I seen", hmm... much more severe than Yukari Yakumo.

Three hundred years ago, at the end of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Princess Kaguya of the Moon was exiled to the ground for atonement. When her sentence was served, she was one of the messengers sent to bring Kaguya back.

For some reason, she conspired with Kaguya and killed the other messengers together. However, this reason was known only to the two of them, a mystery that left others puzzled.

"Physician", "Brain of the Moon", "Sage of the Moon", "Omoikane" were all statuses and reputations she had possessed. But this deity who lived in the sky in the distant past abandoned all these meaningless things and lived in seclusion with Kaguya on the filthy earth without any nostalgia.

However, young in appearance and of unknown age, had this ancient goddess, revered as the god of academics, exams, and architecture, who possessed wisdom and knowledge beyond humans, ever anticipated the current situation?

No, absolutely impossible.

Because the visitor was beyond her expectations, even a wise person who calculated everything would eventually have omissions.

After seeing the appearance of the attacker in the house, Jia Ji immediately had a headache: "Dual-wielding bows?! How is the Brain of the Moon's brain like this? Is all that flows in the brain a desire for victory?"

Actually, it's a straight shot with the left bow, the brain of the kick, right?

"Hold on! Domo... Eirin Yagokoro, I'm here to negotiate!"

Hearing this, Omoikane Yagokoro neatly put down the divine tool "Heavenly Magatsu Bow" in her hand. As the caster herself, she understood that anyone who could traverse the bamboo forest and reach her was definitely not an ordinary person.

And every arrow just fired could shatter mountains and pierce the earth, yet this man who gave her a strange feeling actually caught them with his bare hands and returned all the arrows with the exact same force.

This technique could simply be described as miraculous—she rarely evaluated a human like this.

Although no obvious expression appeared on her face, her heart was already in a state of complete "shock".

And since he took the initiative to express goodwill, out of respect for a powerhouse of this level, Eirin Yagokoro didn't mind giving him a chance to express his intentions.

Her peerless wisdom made her understand that most of the time, she could solve everything just by using her own powerful strength. Only when her own strength was not enough to solve everything did she really need to exert her wisdom.

Once she really started, she didn't have full confidence that she could fight these three people in front of her while continuing to cover up Eientei's tracks under the surveillance of the Moon Capital.

The moment both sides tacitly stopped, the various items that had turned into powder in the house began to recover simultaneously. Just like the bamboo forest outside, this Eientei had also been cast with the magic called 【Eternity】.

"Here we go, here we go."

Just as Jia Ji walked in, he seemed to remember something. He immediately took a step back, then lifted Tewi Inaba in front of him, blocking her in front of him and moving forward cautiously.

The prettier the woman, the more she lies.

Eirin Yagokoro was also one of the belly-black representatives. Jia Ji still felt a little panicked seeing her agree so readily. Who knows if this Brain of the Moon was unhappy, and one hand was hiding the secret technique of the pot behind her, waiting for him to enter and be taken down directly.

After all, Yukari Yakumo on the side was about the same, the boundary-reversing power in her hand was already ready to go.

This is the social skill between us sages. jpg

"You seem to know me..." Eirin Yagokoro said in a seemingly casual tone. She wasn't completely in the dark about the flower youkai and the Youkai Sage next to her, but she was very sure that she had never seen this male human with fierce eyes and distinct features in front of her.

A male powerhouse who was extremely rare in the world today.

It was not those male swordsmen and samurai who could emerge batch after batch in just a few hundred years. With short lives and limited talent, even if they refined their skills and increased their cultivation base at all times, it was difficult for them to pose much threat to powerhouses of their level, and they would turn into a handful of dust in the fleeting time.

And male youkai, because of factors like being brave and fighting, died more often before reaching the peak, making them even rarer than divine beasts.

And Jia Ji in front of her was neither an immortal god nor a long-lived youkai, and his age was not even a fraction of hers, yet he already had power on par with her, simply a rare beast.

What was worse was that their bamboo forest side had fallen into an information disadvantage from the beginning. This feeling of the opponent knowing everything about them while they were in the dark was something the God of Wisdom really didn't like.

However, she was Eirin Yagokoro after all, and would not let her judgment be swayed by momentary emotions.

"Sigh, who are we to each other..."

Whether it was Eirin Yagokoro's or Kaguya's ability, the space was stretched to be extremely wide. Responding to the host's invitation, Jia Ji sat swaggeringly opposite Omoikane Yagokoro. Of course, he definitely didn't dare to touch the small snacks and treats that suddenly appeared in front of him.

This time, he didn't even dare to continue practicing the tea ceremony. After all, that was Eirin Yagokoro. Although this goddess who had the "ability to create any medicine" didn't seem ready to make another move, Jia Ji didn't dare to bet whether his anti-drug resistance could withstand the other party's set meal.

Even if Hokuto Shinken had a specially developed detoxification secret technique, it was the same.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. I'm here to ask for help this time."

With his left and right protectors, Jia Ji was ready to rely on his eloquence!

The silver-haired physician's pure black, beautiful pupils stared closely at Jia Ji, and before him, she made her own deduction in an incomparably certain tone.

"You... are here to propose to Princess-sama, right?"
