Chapter 809: Departure

In the early morning, Lingyun sat in the courtyard, where an invisible force formed a vortex around his body, actually tearing at the Death Qi of the Saigyou Ayakashi.

Sensing an abnormal fluctuation in the Death Qi of the Saigyou Ayakashi, Youki was the first to rush over. When he saw that Lingyun was actually devouring the Death Qi of the Saigyou Ayakashi, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "Mr. Lingyun, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, I just had a relatively large expenditure a while ago, so I'm borrowing the Death Qi of the Saigyou Ayakashi to recover." Lingyun opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

That breath of turbid air drifted forward, yet it made the hair on Youki's body stand on end. This breath was practically the embodiment of death; anyone below the level of a Great Youkai would surely die if touched by this aura.

"The expenditure was a bit large, so he's directly devouring the Death Qi of the Saigyou Ayakashi to recover?" Youki muttered in his heart, feeling that he couldn't quite keep up with Lingyun's train of thought.

Lingyun waved his hand casually, and a Sun Fire flew out from his palm, wrapping around the Death Qi and completely incinerating it.

"Sun Fire?" Yakumo Yukari emerged from a Gap, looking at Lingyun with great interest. "Could it be that you have some connection to Amaterasu, little brother?"

"Does one necessarily have to be related to Amaterasu to be able to wield Sun Fire?" Lingyun extinguished the Sun Fire in his hand and asked.

At the same time, Lingyun also had some doubts in his heart; wasn't this Youkai named Yakumo Yukari fond of sleeping? How could she be up so early? However, Lingyun quickly realized that the current Yakumo Yukari was still the Sage of Youkai, tirelessly seeking a way out for the future of Youkai, rather than the idle sage who had nothing to do after the establishment of Gensokyo; she didn't have that much time to spend sleeping yet.

"Of course not, but I have only ever seen such pure Sun Fire in the hands of Amaterasu and her God's Envoy in the past. Moreover, when that God's Envoy used Sun Fire, they had to pay a considerable price; it was nothing like you, little brother, who can retract and release it so easily," said Yakumo Yukari.

"Is it impossible that I am Amaterasu?" Lingyun asked with a smile.

"How could that be? The Age of Gods has already passed, and Amaterasu, as the head of the gods, has long since disappeared without a trace," Yakumo Yukari said decisively. "At the same time, given Amaterasu's personality, it is absolutely impossible for her to appear on this earth in a male form!"

"It seems you are quite knowledgeable about Amaterasu!" said Lingyun.

"Lingyun..." Just at this moment, a voice came over; Yuyuko was walking in this direction.

"Well, it looks like I'm responsible for breakfast today!" Looking at the hopeful Yuyuko, Lingyun smiled and reached out to pinch her cheeks, completely ignoring the sinister expression that had appeared on Yakumo Yukari's face.

Yuyuko's daily life was very simple; after eating, she would lie on the tatami mat in a leisurely manner to digest her food.

"Hey, Mr. Lingyun, are you leaving?" Yuyuko asked Lingyun while fiddling with her hair.

"Hmm? How did you know?" Lingyun asked with some confusion.

"I tasted a flavor of parting in the breakfast just now," Yuyuko said, squinting her eyes.

"You can even taste that?" Lingyun was slightly astonished.

"Hee hee, I'm an expert in this regard!" Yuyuko said with a smile.

"Since you already know, I won't hide it; I am indeed leaving," said Lingyun. "After all, I have stayed here for quite a long time, and I have a student at home; I need to go back and see how she is doing."

"Then will we be able to meet again in the future?" Yuyuko asked.

"That is certainly no problem; we are friends now, aren't we? However, it won't be an easy thing for you to leave here; it will just depend on when I have time to come and see you." Lingyun's gaze fell upon the Saigyou Ayakashi.

"This..." A trace of slight disappointment appeared on Yuyuko's face, and then her gaze quickly turned to the person beside her, and she said in a soft, sweet voice, "Yukari..."

Yakumo Yukari had almost no resistance to Yuyuko in this state, and she confidently promised Yuyuko, "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"I knew you were the best to me, Yukari!" Yuyuko rolled into Yakumo Yukari's arms and rubbed against her.

"Alright, it's getting late, and it's time for me to take my leave." Lingyun smiled and waved to the people present, his figure turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the horizon.

After Lingyun left, Yakumo Yukari said to Yuyuko in her arms: "Yuyuko, I am leaving too."

"Eh, Yukari, are you leaving too? But, your injury..." Yuyuko asked with a worried face.

"Don't worry, my injury is fine now," said Yakumo Yukari.

"Yukari, you're lying; you clearly said before that this injury would take several months to heal!" Yuyuko said with a serious face.

"It was indeed like that before, but not anymore; the Death Qi in my body has completely disappeared. If you don't believe me, Yuyuko, you can check," said Yakumo Yukari.

After Yuyuko carefully investigated, a trace of doubt couldn't help but appear on her face: "Eh, the Death Qi in your body is really gone!"

"So, Yuyuko, you don't need to worry!" Yakumo Yukari smiled and rubbed Yuyuko's head. "Alright, I'm going too."

After slipping into the Gap, a trace of doubt also appeared on Yakumo Yukari's face.

"I remember that the Death Qi in my body wasn't supposed to disappear so quickly, but now it has recovered so fast; could there be something fishy about this?" Yakumo Yukari's eyes shifted, and then they fell upon the food Lingyun had made earlier. "Could it be a problem with that food? If that is really the case, then there are even more mysteries surrounding this person. Perhaps this person could also become a part of my plan. However, this person's strength is truly too strong; to get him into the plan, I will need some more schemes..."

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari looked at a Jade Piece in her hand; this Jade Piece was left for her by Lingyun when he left, saying that she could find his residence based on this Jade Piece.

"I am quite curious, what kind of person could be taken as a student by someone like Lingyun!" Yakumo Yukari had a trace of interest in Lingyun's student.

In the Bamboo House, Kaguya, who was reading, suddenly sneezed, almost throwing the book in her hand away.

"Eh, I'm a Hourai Person, how could I catch a cold? Could it be that someone is plotting against me?" Kaguya rubbed her little nose and said. "Hmm, Lingyun has been out for about a month now, why hasn't he come back yet..."

After thinking for a while, Kaguya suddenly put down her book and pulled out a Game Console from under her pillow. This Game Console was brought over by Lingyun from the Traveler Alliance through Kirito when he first arrived in this world, just to pass the time when he was bored. Now it had been dug out by Kaguya from somewhere and had become her toy.

"Forget it, Lingyun hasn't returned yet, I'll play a game first! If Lingyun comes back, I won't be able to play games!"

Just as Kaguya was immersed in the game world, a stream of light streaked across the sky, and Lingyun descended from the sky, appearing outside the Bamboo Forest.
