Chapter 58: The Yakumo Family's Move...

  "Alas! Does the young mistress not want me anymore!? I've clearly worked hard to say it." Hong Meiling immediately teared up, with two streams of tears hanging from her eyes, "Sakuya-san..."

  "We can't afford to keep a freeloader like you in the Scarlet Devil Mansion who only knows how to sleep." Sakuya directly shattered Remilia's fantasy.

  "Wooooo..."

  ……

  Chen Yi returned to the store and looked at Hong Mei Ling who was following behind him with tears in her eyes, saying helplessly: "I said China, if you want to go back, just go back, I won't stop you."

  "Don't call me Chinese anymore, I have a name, it's...". The already tearful Hong Meiling became even more tearful, "Waa~ I've even forgotten my own name."

  Uh...

  Looking at Hong Meiling unintentionally selling Meng, Chen Yi helplessly scratched his head, "What does this have to do with you not going back?"

  "I won't be able to go back, my salary has already been deducted until the year 2060. If I go back again, Sakuya-san will deduct my salary tenfold!"

  "You're really pitiful." Chen Yi had been holding it in for half a day.

  "So, new boss, you won't deduct my salary, will you?" Hong Meiling asked with a hopeful face.

  "Ah! This is impossible, after all, I've already got a former shrine maiden who's been living off me for an entire day, eating and drinking for free, and even getting paid on top of that..."

  ……

  "Big sister, why did you give China to Chen Yi?" Sakuya asked Remi after Chen Yi left.

  "Of course there is a reason for it, because I discovered that his destiny line was connected with the entire Gensokyo."

  ！？

  "Connected with the entire Gensokyo?"

  "That's right! Not just with Gensokyo, but many, many fates are tightly connected to him, including ours!"

  "How is this possible? We didn't seem to have had any contact with him before." Sakuya was shocked.

  "Who knows, these fates have been tied together for a long time, and the span of time has even reached thousands of years." When she said this, Remi herself seemed unbelievable, after all, she was only 500 years old.

  "Also, other people's lifelines will have many branches, and whichever branch they choose to take will continue on, while the other branches will remain like tree limbs, but his lifeline only has one root."

  "One root?"

  "That's right! There is only one, with no branches at all. Or if he chooses a different route, the other branches will be eliminated immediately. And future branches won't appear unless he reaches the branch point. What a tyrannical lifeline!"

  "In the past, it only existed in memories, in the future, it will only exist in recollections... For him, only 'now' truly exists."

  "...So Miss asked China to go there and observe what changes would occur in China afterwards?" Sakuya replied.

  "Hey, isn't that just one aspect? Sakuya, don't you think China's chest is a bit...?" The young lady's dignity was instantly shattered, "It's just a mere China, and yet the chest is so..."

  So cute! Watching Remi's appearance, Sakuya covered her nose.

  "Right! Next time you go to Xianglin Hall to buy a PAD, remember to draw some of Chen Yi's blood for me. I really want to taste the blood that can suppress Flandre's madness."

  The elegant and perfect maid suddenly became flustered, "Where is it......"

  "Sakiya lied! I found it in Sakiya's room!"

  ……

  "Ahh!!!! My store!!!!" A heaven-shaking wail.

  Chen Yi looked at the store, which was like it had been robbed, and immediately knelt down, holding his head in his hands. He looked at the store with a mournful face after it had gone through wind and rain...

  Finally fixing his gaze on the calm and collected tea-drinking Ah Ma, "Yo!! Ah Ma, can you tell me if you're here keeping watch, who would dare to come here and rob this place?"

  "What? Robbery? Who's talking about robbery? My precious daughters Lingmei and Marisa just came here to look for something, I couldn't stop them, could I?"

  "...China, from now on you'll be the security guard here. If you can catch the black and white mouse just once, I'll multiply your monthly salary by ten. How about it?" Chen Yi's words were very calm, yeah, very calm...

  "Waa~! Boss, you're really great. Compared to Sakuya-san who only knows how to deduct my salary, you actually give me a raise! You're just too amazing..." Red Meiling's face was filled with emotion.

  Sakuya, who was far away in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, suddenly felt a strange sense of discomfort. She thought about taking it out on Meiling, but then remembered that Meiling had already been "sent" away by the young mistress. Oh well, next time she goes to the Hakurei Shrine, she'll just have to take care of Meiling then... or else it would be too unaccustomed...

  "Alright! China, you clean up the store, I'll be out for a bit, don't slack off!" Chen Yi said as he pulled out his Barrett and took out a few bullets emitting a dangerous aura.

  Uh, let me think... Red is explosive type, blue is quick-freeze type, white is penetrating type, semi-transparent is physical type... and what's the function of black and gold again?

  Loading a few bullets with a dangerous aura one by one into the magazine, haha! The time for revenge has come, first is Hakurei Shrine...

  "What a great harvest!" Ling Meng was sipping tea and eating snacks, thinking of the wealth she and Moli Sa had dug up from Chen Yi, which made her excited, as for that overflowing treasure chest, it was purely the psychological effect of a certain shameless witch.

  "Reimu." Marisa pointed at Saisyu Box, "Isn't this a bit too obvious? What if..."

  A dazzling white light with a diameter of half a meter suddenly appeared at the Hakurei Shrine in an instant, passing through the torii and hitting the slowly moving donation box, leaving a deep hole on the ground...

  Several kilometers away, Chen Yi picked up Barrett and left behind the already pale and disheveled witch.

  "Ah ha! My mood suddenly improved a lot, OK! Let's change to another place."

  The house of the lost soul is elusive, but Chen Yi can still find it. Looking at the empty house in front of him, did Yiyunzi know that he was coming to cause trouble and took his whole family to evacuate together?

  The monk ran away, but the temple couldn't run. Chen Yi looked at the remaining bullets in the clip, used a black one, reinstalled the clip, stood 100 meters away, didn't even aim, and fired directly.

  A huge black sphere, about two meters in diameter, appeared ten meters away from Chen Yi. The massive suction force on the surface of the black sphere peeled off a layer of ground and sucked it into its interior, erasing everything. The black sphere slowly approached the Lost House, which began to deform, its beams creaking under the unbearable weight, before being completely engulfed by the black sphere.

  *pffft*

  A hissing sound of a balloon losing air, the entire black sphere vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the ravaged ground and the already disappeared House of Labyrinth to tell the tale of Chen Yi's atrocities...

  Damn it, isn't this going to explode or just deflate? This is unscientific!

  "Haha! I've never felt so relieved in my life, I'm out of here." With a rifle slung over his shoulder, Chen Yi turned and walked away.

  ——————————————————————————

  ……

  Back in the store, looking at Hong Meiling who was lying on the ground with her eyes rolling around, and Orange Miao who was making a ruckus, surrounded by drinking tea were Yakumo Yukari, Yakumo Ran, Ah-Ma, the still messy shop, and Xiang Lingzi who was sneaking a laugh in the Xiang Lin Tang, hey! I can sense it!

  Chen Yi's face turned completely black, "Hey! Old Lady Zi, how did you end up here?"

  "Oh, I'm forever 17 years old, how can I possibly get old?"

  Chen Yi's eyes twitched, Nima's forever 17 years old, is 17 years old and a few hundred, uh, several thousand months? Moreover, it's said to be tens of thousands.

  "Little brother, you seem to be thinking of something bad." Yakumo Yukari sipped the tea in her hand, "Recently, some strange things have appeared in my gap, do you want to go in and try?"

  Is it a sin bag? Chen Yi's eye twitched again, and he casually picked up the orange cat that was running wildly on the ground and hung it on a hook on the wall, which brought an envious gaze from Ba Yunlan...

  "You're always sleeping at home all day, you won't come here for no reason, will you?"

  "Hmph! Look who's talking, Violet-sama has come to fulfill a promise, after all." Yakumo Yuko said with a faint smile, "However, it seems like someone destroyed my home, I'm not in the mood, so let's talk about that promise later."

  Hmph! You just don't want to, but it seems that Yuyuko Saigyouji's house is the one you just destroyed, and as one of the three great Peeping Toms of Gensokyo...

  "Little brother, you won't mind taking in a homeless family like us, will you?" Yakumo Yukari said bluntly, revealing the true purpose of their visit.

  As expected...

  "How can I not agree?"

  "Of course not, Blue, moving things." As she spoke, a gap appeared beside Yakumo Yukari, and all sorts of things clattered down, fortunately the store was big enough.

  Looking at the furniture all over the floor, Chen Yi was shocked. This... Yiyunzi, did you have plans to move out long ago? Looking at Yiyunlan being constantly oppressed by Yiyunzi, Chen Yi responded with a helpless expression and started cleaning up the store. As for China... Ah! Saliva dripped down.

  After rummaging through the shop, I looked at the time and it was already noon. Time to eat! I pulled out a table or rather, forget about the table, let's just eat directly on the counter. Chen Yi started taking out food from his inventory, which had an enormous storage capacity. Since items in the inventory wouldn't spoil, having more was always better.

  Mmm! This plate of fried tofu...

  It was snatched away by a certain fox girl.

  This meat bun...

  China, which was known for its fragrance, has been driven away by a miserable offensive.

  And also...

  And...

  This...

  Forget it, I'll go back to my room to eat. Zhenyi locked the door of his own room, closed the window, and took out a roasted chicken emitting a fragrant smell (provided by Meihong).

  A gap appeared, and a white tender hand stretched out, under Chen Y's gaze, took away a chicken leg...
