722: Chapter 135: The You Who Once Did Something 722: Chapter 135: The You Who Once Did Something Did the master talk with Arex about anything?

You Ye had such a strange feeling, as if she missed something, but after thinking about it carefully, there shouldn’t be any mistakes in between.

But her master had already started looking at the book again, while Arex was quietly sitting there, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ms.

You Ye furrowed her brows at this moment, which was quite an incongruous situation.

Arex suddenly spoke up, “Ms.

You Ye’s wariness of me is quite surprising.”

You Ye said indifferently, “After all, Mr.

Arex’s abilities are somewhat hard to deal with.

As long as one sees you, they basically fall under your influence.”

Arex shrugged, “My abilities are ineffective against the two of you.

Ms.

You Ye, please rest assured, this new Boss is even more formidable than we imagined.

He initially chose to enter Miki’s dream to meet me, which speaks volumes.” “I don’t think that’s a compliment.” Luo Qiu paused, still the old bibliophile reading his book, with someone chattering on the side, reluctantly responding with a random sentence, “Mr.

Arex, aren’t you planning to retrieve your results?” “The show has just started.” Arex smiled slightly, “Why don’t we guess which Nagato Tsuruko will win?”

The Boss did not speak, just lightly tapped his fingers on the desk, and an old leather suitcase appeared out of thin air.

Arex’s smile froze for a moment when the suitcase appeared.

This suitcase was his collateral with Boss Luo, and to retrieve it, he must hand over the agreed quantity of True Souls.

This new Boss truly is impervious, is this considered a ‘kind’ reminder?

Arex stood up, “I think I shouldn’t disturb the two of you anymore.”

The club treats its guests with great generosity, so generous that it can sometimes overlook the guests’ small schemes.

This often gives the guest a misconception, that since I am a customer, I am naturally a god, so the store should cater to me.

If I’m not happy, I naturally won’t buy your things.

But Arex never dared to have such thoughts.

In modern market economic theory, the club essentially equals… monopoly.

It never fears a lack of customers because it knows that all things have spirits, and with thoughts comes greed, just like light and shadow, neither can separate from the other.

Arex nodded and then directly left the Shrine.

After Arex left, Ms.

You Ye brought a set of utensils, planning to use them in the Shrine to find something, intending to make a bowl of matcha for Boss Luo.

This is a craft that requires careful procedures.

While working, Ms.

You Ye smiled and said, “Rather than guessing which Nagato Tsuruko will win, he hopes more that a particular Nagato Tsuruko would win.”

Boss Luo did not plan to play this guessing game with Arex, but that doesn’t mean he won’t talk more with his own maid.

The tea set is a small white porcelain bowl.

Boss Luo sniffed the tea bowl after passing it over the side of tea water.

Is there any rule of ‘scent appreciation’ here? “Miki is easier to control.” Luo Qiu smiled, “Mrs.

Witch herself has greater potential… it’s also considered a somewhat difficult choice.” “He wants to know the answer.” You Ye also smiled slightly.

Asking Boss Luo which one would win naturally equates to wanting to know which one Boss Luo favors more…

The thing favored by the club’s Boss is naturally more expensive, and it’s worthwhile to bet on.

Actually, Arex’s intention was never in the Yan Wuyue World.

What he truly wanted was merely the most complete Nagato Tsuruko.

As for the process, if he could conveniently grab the Yan Wuyue World, that would naturally be good.

If not, he wouldn’t care too much.

The whole process of using Miki willingly to fuse with the Nagato Tsuruko on the day of sacrificial rituals was merely so she could become the powerfully unmatched Eight-tail Heavenly Fox.

The Boss just shook his head like a miser, saying indifferently, “But not paying is not an option.”

The unfinished story written by Mrs.

Witch, however, had been flipped to the last page by Boss Luo, and the next blank part needs completion. … …

Are China’s Tianhu strong?

Absolutely strong!

But Yamata no Orochi never believed that an Eight-tail Heavenly Fox of the same rank could easily inflict severe damage on it… it had swallowed many things and even devoured the Three Nobles earlier to restore all its powers back in the day!

Its eyes flickered ceaselessly, staring at the girl displaying eight tails in the sky above.

The moment of the Heavenly Thunder strike directly paralyzed its whole soul body, another strike, it naturally couldn’t bear.

However, conversely, this Eight-tail Heavenly Fox having such powerful strength means the soul is naturally a rare delicacy.

Here, there is even the awakened Greedy Wolf Star, and a wisp of soul from the ancient emperor, and…

Should all this be swallowed, and finally ascending to the Yatsumi Palace to swallow Izanami too, while thoroughly refining the inherent power of the Yan Wuyue World… “So strong, but is this enough to deal with me?” Yamata no Orochi’s eight gigantic snake heads at this moment all lifted, eyes cold.

Authority does not necessarily mean combat ability, but it is nearly an ability of rules—the very rules of Yan Wuyue World.

Take, for example, the sun’s representation, the sun goddess Amaterasu-ōmikami, she has the authority for the resurgence of all things.

This part of the authority originally belonged to Yamata no Orochi.

After being sealed, it was granted by Izanami to Amaterasu-ōmikami, now returned to its side.

All creatures reborn, spring returns to the earth, breaking all withering… if applied to itself, it becomes a form of super recovery ability.

Possessing such authority is why Yamata no Orochi was so arrogant, even initially overwhelming Izanami.

Because it could almost exert its power at the maximum, continuously.

In gaming terms, there’s no cooldown time, unlimited rage, all ultimate moves, just asking if you’re afraid! “Not right!”

Yet just when Yamata no Orochi activated this authority, it suddenly felt a sense of discomfort—no recovery!

Not just the injuries not healing, but even the power gained from swallowing many devils, the Eight Million Gods, and such enhancements after being consumed without moderation had not been restored!

The authority… the authority did not respond!

Just as it was astonished, another lightning bolt struck down from the sky, causing the previously languid body to once again suffer a drastic damage, making Yamata no Orochi emit waves of painful howls!

Yet precisely because of such immense pain, Yamata no Orochi gained enlightenment—a realization that, as it bragged about, it was indeed the ancestor who played with souls.

Though somewhat boastful, its achievement on the soul path was exceptional, otherwise it couldn’t directly see through the essence of Mo Xiaofei’s soul, glimpsing a trace from the past life of his soul!

Illusion!

It fell into illusion… it indeed devoured the Three Nobles and many things, its strength ballooned, even surpassing the power before being sealed, but all this was merely an illusion! “What exactly when…” Yamata no Orochi felt something incredible—what was incredible was, as the naturally different kind of Xiang Liu’s family, the master of soul manipulation, it hadn’t noticed when it was surrounded by illusion!

What on earth is the background of that guy named Arex!

Another heavenly thunder fell, and Yamata no Orochi didn’t even have time to feel fear or shriek in despair—it couldn’t withstand the thunder of the Eight-tail Heavenly Fox.

When it finally realized everything was an illusion, it understood that its power was merely at the level it had just after devouring Shuten Doji!

From the very beginning… from when the Three Nobles gathered and attacked the mysterious mist, could it already have been…

Boom boom boom——!!

After the third thunder, six bolts of thunder fell from the sky in succession!

Nine powerful thunders in total, seemingly implying some kind of significance.

Under the assault of these nine thunders from start to finish, the massive Soul Body of Yamata no Orochi continuously contracted, and finally, the eight heads disappeared, transforming into a small snake only as long as an arm and as thick as two fingers!

Seeing that the Eight-tail Heavenly Fox had no intention of letting it go, Yamata no Orochi was suddenly terrified to the core.

If another strike of such thunder were to come, this genius of the Xiang Liu’s family might just meet a premature end!

With a heart split with fear, Yamata no Orochi didn’t care anymore, its small snake body exploded with a puff, turning into a wisp of faint purple smoke!

The tenth bolt of thunder struck again, and this wisp of purple smoke didn’t entirely escape, still suffering its impact!

The already sparse purple smoke was sharply reduced a bit but doggedly retained a tiny bit, silently and secretly penetrating the ground following the flicker of thunder.

Blended with Miki, the fox-formed Nagato Tsuruko stayed motionless in mid-air at this moment, as if she suddenly lost all functions.

On the ground, Zhuifeng, carrying Mo Xiaofei, began to run swiftly across the ground, his hair standing on end.

If any one of those ten heavenly thunders had struck him, he wouldn’t dare to guarantee he could withstand it, but that eight-headed snake demon managed to endure nine bolts, and it was the last, the tenth one, that finally dissipated.

At this moment, Zhuifeng hid under the massive root of a Sakura Tree, cautiously peeking up, looking at the fox demon that appeared dead like a woman, his mind a mess, but Mo Xiaofei suddenly let out a cough, surprisingly already awake. “Big brother!” “Zhuifeng…”

Mo Xiaofei appeared extremely weak, his brain felt like it had exploded, becoming a jumble.

He also peeked up at the sky, looking at the fox-formed Nagato Tsuruko, revealing a complicated expression and muttered to himself, “There are really such unfair things in this world, what I encountered before could only be small compared to this.” “Big brother, what are you talking about?” Zhuifeng asked.

Mo Xiaofei let out a bitter smile, not knowing how to explain it to Zhuifeng.

His super power was indeed quite incredible, the development of the human brain domain, which even Long Xiruo didn’t fully understand.

It’s said to be a new direction of evolution for the human race, with many mysteries unresolved.

When he touched Nagato Tsuruko in the dungeon and sensed her chaotic consciousness, his spirit just passively accepted countless thoughts transmitted by Nagato Tsuruko.

Mo Xiaofei didn’t know he had personally destroyed a ‘Zaodao Village’, but he ‘saw’ the six-year-old Nagato Tsuruko, who accidentally saw Ah Xiu in the Eternal Palace, and eventually discovered Narukami Haru imprisoned in the dungeon, her young heart couldn’t withstand it and finally collapsed, triggering the immense power within, going berserk, and eventually becoming the killer that destroyed Zaodao Village one scene after another.

It was a day she would never want to recall—at the moment she came back to her senses, she fell alone into the rubble, the scene full of desolation, familiar or unfamiliar bodies lying around her, driving her completely insane… the madness just like when Mo Xiaofei saw Narukami Haru in the dungeon, just like when he saw himself when he saw bamboo in the Underground Palace.

Perhaps there was a moment when he and Nagato Tsuruko shared similar feelings, leading to a certain degree of mental synchronization?

Mo Xiaofei couldn’t confirm much.

But he was very clear on one point, that on the sacrificial day of Zaodao Village, for Nagato Tsuruko, it was a living nightmare, so she would never want this day ‘to come’, so she would always revolve within the same three days.

He and Zi Xing were always within Nagato Tsuruko’s nightmare, while the real Zaodao Village had long been reduced to rubble years ago in the Yan Wuyue World, no wonder whenever he ascended Zaodao Shrine, he would never see Mrs.

Witch.

But… what on earth was going on with these towering Sakura Trees and those bizarre fellows swallowed by the roots of the Sakura Trees? “You must have only arrived on the fourth day, right.” Mo Xiaofei looked at Zhuifeng, recalling his abrupt appearance on the sacrificial day, thinking Zhuifeng had arrived that day.

After all, Zi Xing too arrived on the first day after he had been revolving for a whole year. “What fourth day?

I’m…” Zhuifeng looked stunned, about to say something when he saw Mo Xiaofei’s eyes widen, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.

He too couldn’t help but look where Mo Xiaofei was staring, and upon seeing it, even he wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost—Nagato Tsuruko!

Another Nagato Tsuruko!

The person wearing a white robe and red skirt, leaping from within the tangled Sakura Tree roots… had the exact same face as the fox-formed Nagato Tsuruko suspended immobile in the sky. “Why are there two Nagato Tsurukos?” “Why are there two dead women?”

Mo Xiaofei and Zhuifeng exclaimed simultaneously!

Because the young shrine maiden attacked the fox-formed Nagato Tsuruko!

Right away, she fired an arrow! …

The young shrine maiden finally stopped upon the intertwined, chaotic roots of a Sakura Tree.

She suddenly felt that these intertwined, patternless roots were somewhat like interwoven destinies.

Logically, she shouldn’t remember everything that happened on the sacrificial day, for she should have already abandoned the events of that day, and her ‘self’ of that day.

But why?

Clearly, she had turned a blind eye to the past, her brain had even cut off ties to these matters, yet it still spiraled out of control.

To pretend like nothing had ever happened was indeed just a self-deceiving statement.

Without contemplating much why the past Nagato Tsuruko appeared out of thin air, the young shrine maiden who had been living alone in the shrine for a few years drew her longbow, loaded a Feathered Arrow, and aimed it at that past self. “You’re too selfish!!”

The motionless Nagato Tsuruko suddenly let out a piercing scream, a burst of blue Demon Fox Fire shot out as well, burning right up to the Spirit Power imbued Feathered Arrow upon contact, causing it to fall.

The young shrine maiden, unfazed, nocked another arrow.

It was like a response: is there anyone who isn’t selfish?
