Chapter 829: Shinki the Ahoge God

Inside the Bamboo House, Kaguya set down the brush in her hand, looking with a beaming smile at Fujiwara no Mokou, who was sitting across from her.

Fujiwara no Mokou clutched her own hair in frustration, holding a brush in her hand, looking as if life had lost all meaning.

"Mokou, have you finished writing your characters?" Kaguya asked.

"Ugh, why are these characters so hard to write well?" Fujiwara no Mokou stared at the copybook in front of her, nearly gnawing on the brush handle.

"It can't be helped, this is a task assigned by the teacher!" Kaguya said with a shrug.

"Big Sister Kaguya, the teacher will be alright, right?" Fujiwara no Mokou asked with some anxiety.

"Rest assured, you and I both know the teacher's strength, and besides, the teacher also said that there are few people in this world who can cause him harm." Kaguya waved her hand and said.

"Oh." Fujiwara no Mokou nodded, but was clearly still somewhat absent-minded.

Suddenly, Kaguya's brow twitched. She put down her brush, stood up, and said to Fujiwara no Mokou, "Mokou, keep writing slowly; I'm going to go rest for a bit."

"Big Sister Kaguya, are you finished writing?" Fujiwara no Mokou asked.

"Finished." Kaguya stretched and said with a smile.

"Ah, so fast?" Her expression slumped instantly.

"So, Mokou, you must work hard!"

After walking out of the room, Kaguya's expression turned serious all at once.

"Eirin, you've returned? How is the teacher's situation?"

"Yes, Princess. As for Lingyun, he is fine!" Yagokoro Eirin said.

"Impossible, if the teacher were truly fine, he would definitely have returned. Since he hasn't returned now, he must be afraid that we would worry if we saw his condition," Kaguya said.

"It seems I really cannot hide anything from you, Princess!" Yagokoro Eirin said. "But rest assured, your teacher's strength is truly astonishing; even that Flower Tyrant did not gain any advantage in front of him!"

"Then did the teacher say when he would return?" Kaguya asked.

"As for that, he did not say."

"He didn't say? I understand." Kaguya nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Eirin."

Sun Flower Field.

"Eh, little brother, I only went out for a trip, and this Sun Flower Field has already returned to its original state!" Yakumo Yukari, who had emerged from a Gap, looked at the Sun Flower Field that had restored itself to its original appearance, a trace of surprise in her eyes.

"A Sun Flower Field should be filled with sun flowers; if there were no sun flowers, I would always feel like something was missing," Lingyun said calmly.

"Little brother's words really do sound reasonable!" Yakumo Yukari nodded and said.

"Right, I have other matters, so I won't disturb you two anymore!" Yakumo Yukari waved at the two of them, then dove into a Gap without looking back.

Not long after Yakumo Yukari left, Lingyun sensed an incomparably terrifying aura appear in the Sun Flower Field.

"This aura?" Lingyun's expression turned serious instantly.

He was very puzzled now; logically speaking, Kazami Yuuka could already be considered one of the most powerful people in this world, but what was the deal with this aura that far surpassed Kazami Yuuka?

"Little Yuuka—" Just at this moment, a voice traveled from afar.

"Little Yuuka?" Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Just what kind of great deity was this, daring to address this legendary Flower Tyrant in such a way?

Upon hearing this voice, Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but cover her face; clearly, she had not expected that person to appear in this place either.

However, when Lingyun saw the person who appeared in his field of vision, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Oh?". If it were this person, she indeed had the qualifications to call Kazami Yuuka "Little Yuuka." But when did Kazami Yuuka have a connection with her?

Appearing before the two was a woman full of charm. Her silver, shoulder-length hair was soft and smooth, draped behind her like a waterfall. A red hairband on her forehead tied a bundle of hair leaning to the left, and the hairband also bore two spherical ornaments that looked just like an ahoge. She wore a bright red dress with a Gothic style, and six purple wings were spread out behind her, covered in mysterious red patterns.

Lingyun naturally recognized this woman; after all, she was a famous existence in the Eastern world, and her strength surpassed that of many Great Youkai. To resist the Twilight of the Gods, she had even created the Demon World by her own power; she was a noble existence holding the authority of creation, nicknamed by many Eastern enthusiasts as the ahoge-god, Shinki.

"Shinki, how could she appear in this place?" Lingyun couldn't help but knit his brows slightly.

"Shinki?" There was a trace of complexity in Kazami Yuuka's gaze as she looked at Shinki.

"Little Yuuka!" Shinki's figure appeared instantly in front of Kazami Yuuka. "You're hurt, who did this?"

Kazami Yuuka's gaze glanced quietly at Lingyun, and she did not answer.

Not receiving a response from Kazami Yuuka, Shinki became dejected all at once, even the ahoge on her forehead drooping listlessly, which made the corner of Lingyun's eye twitch. Looking at her current state, where was there any trace of the majesty of a creator? However, there had long been rumors on the internet that Shinki's majesty was as broad as the bosom of the young mistress Remilia, so it was no surprise that she was showing this state.

Seeing Shinki's appearance, Kazami Yuuka rolled her eyes helplessly, seemingly wanting to tell Lingyun that she didn't know this idiot at all.

"Shinki, why did you leave the Demon World?" Kazami Yuuka asked.

"As for that, it's just that Yumeko was keeping me under too tight a watch, so I ran out," Shinki said, sticking her tongue out at Kazami Yuuka.

Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but cover her face; she could already imagine how devastated Yumeko would be after discovering that her Demon God had run off.

"I didn't expect that coming out to see you, Yuuka, I would actually find an even more interesting person! Little Yuuka, what is his name?" Shinki cast her gaze onto Lingyun.

"An even more interesting person?" Kazami Yuuka looked at Lingyun, clearly not understanding Shinki's meaning. "His name is Lingyun, he is an opponent I acknowledge!"

Shinki leaned in close to Lingyun and sniffed him: "I feel an aura similar to mine on little brother!"

Watching Shinki like this, Lingyun couldn't help but reach out and push her head away: "What kind of aura similar to yours is on me?"

Pushed away by Lingyun, Shinki showed a trace of distress on her face, but soon she slammed a fist into her palm, and the ahoge on her head stood straight up: "I know, I felt an aura of creation on you that is similar to mine!"

"Aura of creation?" Kazami Yuuka's pupils constricted, a trace of astonishment in her gaze as she looked at Lingyun.

Hearing Shinki's words, Lingyun was also startled inside. When did he have an aura of creation on him? Could it be the Cloud Realm? But the Cloud Realm wasn't created by him either; it had developed from a World Seed he obtained in the Sea of Origin. However, putting it that way, he could seemingly also be called a creator; perhaps this was the reason Shinki said there was an aura of creation on him.

"Well, if you say it's creation, I suppose, perhaps I have a little bit of that," Lingyun said, scratching the back of his head.

"Really, really?" Shinki became excited all at once, her grip on Lingyun's hand tightening a bit. "Can you talk to me about some of the feelings you had when creating the world? Although I opened up the Demon World, I am also very curious about other people who can open up worlds!"

Watching Shinki's excited appearance, Lingyun nodded with a smile: "Alright!"
