Chapter 127: Can't We Just Not Fight?
"Are you worried about that war?" A folding fan waved in front of Kumen, who turned his head to look over. Mutsuki Houkouji smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it, although the Moon Capital has been peaceful for a long time, its defense power has never decreased, so this war, for the demons, there's no good outcome in taking the initiative."
"How can it be possible not to think more about it." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, "I say, when will the commotion outside subside?"
"Uh-huh." Meng Yue Fengji nodded slightly and thought for a moment, "If we don't make any moves, probably around six or seven days."
Six or seven days... isn't that the time of this month's full moon?! Jiuxing looked at Mianyuetongji with suspicion, who was smiling softly. You wouldn't have calculated this timing a long time ago, would you?
At that time, he could have gone out and topped an egg.
"So, you'd better stay here for a while, actually my sister is very easy-going, isn't she?"
How can fierce and brutal people get along well?
"Sister!" Meng Yue Yi called out to her sister in dissatisfaction, the 'scheme' she and Jiǔ Mìng had discussed before, she hadn't told anyone else about.
"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep now."
Meng Yue Feng Ji lazily stretched her body, not minding showing off her beautiful figure in front of Jiu Ming. Meng Yue Yi, on the other hand, thought for a moment before directly drawing out her own weapon, causing Jiu Ming's heart to feel a chill - what was she trying to do?!
"What are you doing?!"
"Hehe, don't worry, it's just a small precaution." Mian Yue Yi Ji coldly smiled and stabbed the weapon into the ground. When she pulled it out, the ground didn't show any signs of being cut, but instead, a cage made of blades appeared around Jiu Ming...
"If you want to make something happen, then go ahead and force your way out."
"What's the most basic trust between people?! Do you think I'd be idle and sneak a peek at you two sleeping?! Nine Lives is still puzzled about what Mian Yue Yi Ji was trying to prevent, or else she could have just died from frustration."
"It's not up to you to decide, go sleep on the floor!"
Looking at Jiǔ Mìng's reluctant expression, her face wore a pleased smile, and Mián Yuè Yī Jī gave Jiǔ Mìng a back view.
"Cut... let you go." Not until she had thoroughly walked away. The lingering expression on Jiǔ Mìng's face suddenly vanished, and the words "sleeping on the floor" seemed to have been said by someone else.
Oh, right! The ninth life sat on the floor with his legs crossed, and suddenly knocked his palm. It seemed that Meng Yue Yi had just walked into her sister's room, huh? Sister and sister sleeping together, eh.
Cough cough, why does it feel like my thoughts have suddenly become muddled...
Why don't we make a run for it now?
The blade's sharpness was completely ignored by the nine lives, and he really didn't care about the threat of Meng Yue Yi Ji. What's the use of this knife? If it touched him, it would really... forget it, no need to touch it if not necessary, being reckless always comes with a price.
"How are you?"
Late at night, Mitsuki Ikki and Mitsuki Toyokage were talking together. As for Konomi, she was sleeping with a carefree expression, not showing any worry about the future.
"This guy must have some backing!" Meng Yue Yi bit him, and when she locked him in the cell, he didn't show any concern. Instead, he was bored counting the patterns on the wall, and as a result, he accidentally found that Penglai elixir, what a probability... She was stunned, how could such a slim chance happen?
Otherwise, when that elixir of Penglai appears in the mortal world, it will probably be the moment when that special prison is demolished.
She had the idea of letting Jiǔ Mìng reveal his trump card himself, that's why she locked him up in the first place...
The reliance of nine lives...
Come on, let's try the second strongest in another world after two days. The result of a showdown between the steel pipe that breaks defense provided by Nagato Yuki and the powerful barrier from another world.
Let's see who is more powerful.
Can the seal of the outer world of the Moon Capital be pierced like a balloon being pricked by a needle? If it is thoroughly broken, will the Nine Lives still laugh with great pleasure twice, and also count as avenging themselves?
"This guy is still smiling!? What's he dreaming about?"
"Sister, do you want to see?" Mian Yue Yi Ji took out a small device similar to a stabilizer from the small cabinet beside her bed. The device had a display screen that occupied one side, and two extended connection lines, but they were not connected to household appliances... but to the brain...
"Why do you have this kind of thing here!!" Seeing the instrument taken out by Mutsuki Toyokawa, Mutsuki Iyori subconsciously took two steps back. This thing can read and record other people's dreams.
Could it be that even one's own sister has the potential of a Peeping Tom?!
"Calm down, I'm just curious about the dreams I have sometimes."
"... is it?" Mian Yue Yi Ji was still a bit uneasy, she had lived in her sister's house for quite some time. Moreover, because she was her own sister, she wouldn't be on guard when sleeping, and no one could guarantee that they hadn't been harmed by their own sister's evil hands.
"Should I put it on him?"
"This isn't going to be easy, forget it." Mian Yue Yi Ji shook her head. Even if the Nine Lives Cat slept well, it wasn't in a place where she felt at ease, so even if she fell asleep, her vigilance towards the outside world would still remain. If someone carelessly approached, they would definitely be discovered. Being discovered was one thing, but being discovered with suspicious instruments in hand would be impossible to explain.
Can't say 'you sleep so soundly, I wonder what you're dreaming about' right?
The next day.
"It looks calm on the surface, perhaps it's a good opportunity to leave?" It doesn't matter if he leaves early or not, Jiǔ Mìng isn't in a hurry, and even if he was, there's no use. Even if he did go out, he wouldn't be able to find the main troops. The best way is to wait for them at the return location, but he still hasn't heard any news about the big shots of the demon world being caught.
Everything seems normal, right?
"Huh? You can try if you want." Meng Yue Yi didn't even lift her head.
"That's it." After hesitating for a moment, Jiǔ Mìng shook his head. On the surface, everything seemed calm and peaceful, but in reality, whether Jiǔ Mìng could continue to remain calm after leaving was yet to be seen, or rather, whoever left this place would be like that.
On the other side, Yakumo Yukari was also puzzled. Even if it was a sure win, there's no way she wouldn't even show her head, right?
She still hasn't found Meng Yue. As for the situation in Moon City, she can no longer pay attention to it. Even without Meng Yue's high-end combat power, she doesn't have the idea of turning the tide with high-end combat power.
What's in hand is already in hand. This doomed war has no point in continuing, even if relying on the great demon's power to fight back again, what's the use?
The barrier outside the Moon Capital is ridiculously strong, and breaking through it will be difficult. And within the barrier, there's also the Moon Capital's own defenses!
"The latest news is here." With a plate in hand, Mutsuki Houkouji placed it on the table and said with a smile that she always kept, "Kunou seems to have figured out one thing, the strong people in this world... basically all have smiles on their faces."
Should I follow suit as well?
He smiled at himself in the mirror and immediately restored his facial expression to a normal level, indeed, when he deliberately kept smiling... it was very ugly!
"Latest news...... another rumour?"
"No, last night two youkai that had snuck into Tsukimiya broke through the barrier and ran away."
Two? At first thought of Jin Mao and Green Hair's combination...
"Huh? How did you manage that?" The barrier's sturdiness was evaluated by the nine lives as "especially hard! Extremely hard!"
"Forcefully tearing open a hole. Although it recovered quickly, that instant was enough for the great demon to pass through." Mutsuki Houko said with some admiration, "There are quite a few capable existences on Earth too."
"......Violent breakthrough!" Jiǔ Mìng said with some excitement, he also wanted to try it.
"Hah, the face in charge of the outer boundary defense mechanism of the Lunar Capital has been slapped hard. Now they've brought out a backup plan, and the current defensive range of the outer boundary of the Lunar Capital has increased to about 120% of normal."
Meng Yue Feng Ji carelessly struck the positivity of Jiu Ming, and as expected, after hearing her say this, Jiu Ming let out a long sigh, a two-fold increase, which sounds far less than those several times or tens of times difference. But that also depends on what standard is being used.
An ordinary person's power increased by several times is formidable, right? It's just that a combat power of 5 became 25...
But you let Super Saiyan increase by twenty percent...
This is more than dozens of times better than ordinary people!
Although Chao's unscientific racial upgrade is also a multiple of soaring...
So that barrier, if it doesn't upgrade to nine lives, maybe risking one's life can break through it, but after upgrading, even putting one's life on the line probably won't be able to break through it.
"Your eyes are very sly."
"Did you find all this out?" Picking up a wooden skewer, Kurenai pierced one of the meatballs that Mito brought and put it in his mouth, saying to Mito with a very subtle tone. "You won't be paying attention to me every hour... will you?"
This bun is really delicious...
"What a coincidence!" She snorted, glaring fiercely at Jiǔ Mìng for a moment before turning her head away, not even bothering to look at him again.
"What's going on? Are you still thinking of... running away?"
Kunou's hand momentarily stiffened. He let out a dry laugh, "Hah... how is that possible? You've all strengthened the barrier, I'd have to be willing to die just to get out, right?"
"Oh, so if we don't fight, can we leave?"
"Against...!?" The word was cut off halfway as it was abruptly stuck in his throat, only a little too late.
"What are you two staring at me for? I'm not even resistant to the idea of being sisters... Alright, alright, just in case, are you planning on locking me up in some even more outrageous defensive fortress?"
Once again, Jiǔ Mìng was stared at by two pairs of beautiful eyes and shrugged his shoulders, saying helplessly that as a foodie, the speed at which he wrapped zongzi in his hands had not slowed down, even if it meant squatting to eat until he was full!
"Huh? What did you just say?"
"I'll remember you, anyway, even if you run away, I'll catch you again!"
"Hmm... what was I just saying?"
