Chapter 129: Ha! I won't get caught!
"Your expressions…… Alright, alright, you're all demons, why are you making such pitiful faces? Can't I just leave?" Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, the reactions of these demons were too simplistic, basically just hoping that Jiǔ Mìng would hurry up and scram, so as to avoid dragging them down by staying here for too long.
Anyway, the image of Jiǔ Mìng plus his name in Yuè Tù was already quite famous, and the order to capture him had fallen on the team before they could catch the monster.
"Ah! The scout has found him? What are we waiting for? Don't bother with these small fries, catching him is the main priority!!"
A group of defeated youkai, who were about to be taken away by the moon rabbits, stared blankly as a large number of moon rabbit soldiers rushed in one direction... What's going on?
Ahh! Although it's not very clear, but take advantage of the situation and quickly withdraw. Being treated as a small fry... Earlier, several non-small fries were taken away with extra attention, didn't catch up with this round now.
"Damn, can't catch up..." Lacking transportation tools, the movement speed of the nine lives far surpasses these moon rabbit infantry. Even if they discover the nine lives, as long as there aren't many people and don't surround him completely, it's basically a losing result.
"Unwilling to give up the entire forest for a single tree!? Is this guy planning to open a harem?!?" With a bang, she slammed the latest documents onto the desk, Mitsuki Yori's tone was unpleasant, while her sister sat on the side with a faint smile. The Moon Rabbit soldier standing guard at the door slightly trembled his ears upon hearing this, it seemed that Lady Yori had gotten quite angry.
But... it has to be said that Jiǔ Mìng gave himself a good reason to thoroughly dispel some people's doubts in the Moon Capital, oh, so this guy was running away because of this reason, it makes sense, if he took the Moon Princess and still dared to have three wives and four concubines, that would be truly seeking death...
Yes, probably.
"Ugh, what's the point of getting so worked up? I guess it's just that being compared to a tree is unpleasant. Anyway, let's focus on how to deal with those captured youkai instead. The ones who have survived this long are all quite cunning. When dealing with the Moon Rabbit soldiers, they only injure without killing, and according to the Moon People's ideology, they wouldn't take the initiative to kill even in situations like this."
Let's just catch them all and wait for further punishment, after all, it's not a death penalty... Or let these monsters be sent to the agricultural area to farm for a period of time as punishment before being deported back to Earth?
She quickly dispelled the idea after some thought. Some special monsters can do this, but those who occupy most of the five big and three rough types, let them go farming?
It's better to let them move bricks... Cough, transport goods.
It's fine like this, after one or two months, let them go back wherever they came from.
"Yī jī dà ren..." A moon rabbit brought a latest newspaper to her side.
"What's this? There's more news?" As she saw the headline of today's newspaper, her eyes twitched violently, Ah ha!?
The nine lives escape was yesterday's headline, today it has changed, but not unexpectedly. Absolutely another boring and uninteresting (she looks) thing!
The content is roughly that a discussion group specializing in this matter came to the conclusion that Meng Yue sisters can't even take down one person together, does it mean that they not only fell behind in terms of martial arts, but also lost by a little bit in terms of intelligence?
"This is possible!?" Mutsuki Ikki slightly opened her mouth, and this led to another story. Yes, as a younger sister, she had promised that the one who could beat her in martial arts would be her target... And so, as an older sister, Mutsuki Toyokage had once made a promise about surpassing her intellectually.
Although they were left alone for a while without being bothered about the big things in life, there was another period of intense heat afterwards.
There must be an ulterior motive behind this!
"Ah~ this kind of thing... *sigh*, I didn't want to expose myself in the first place." Mutsuki Houjou said with a slightly affected tone, as if she was saying it for the benefit of the guards and eavesdroppers outside. Mutsuki Tojou immediately narrowed her eyes and gave her older sister a thorough once-over.
There's a conspiracy... The black hand that just came to mind seems to have surfaced on its own, but now isn't the time to ask questions, and even if I want to ask, I can only wait for now.
"You go down first."
The moon rabbit scattered the outsiders, and those moon rabbits couldn't help but reveal their astonished expressions. Is there really an inside story?!
"Sister! Can you explain the reason for doing this?"
"Huh? What?"
Looking at her own sister still pretending to be silly, Meng Yue bit her teeth. "Hurry up and say it!"
"Ah, it's just a promise after all. We did make that vow together... shouldn't we break it together now?"
"...but your reputation."
"Oh? Does this have an impact?"
Meng Yue Yi's eyes widened in shock for a moment. It seemed that there was no impact at all, and even what she did would disappoint many people, from now on they would be completely 'free'...
As for the negative impact, even if there is one, it will be transferred to him because of Jiǔ Mìng's running route. Those who think Jiǔ Mìng is lucky and opportunistic can go find him instead! What's the point of finding a woman? As long as you can still find him.
"...but is this really good for him?"
"Perhaps he's secretly delighted?" Mutsuki Toyokawa blinked, "After all, two lunar princesses simultaneously having a crush on the same person, this is truly an unprecedented legend in the history of the Moon, isn't it?"
"Whatever." Mei Yue Yi Ji's mouth twitched slightly. If her sister had done this while still in the Moon Capital, it would have definitely led to some unpleasantness. But he was already gone, and after rising to power, would he still bother with such "adding flowers to brocade" matters?
It's just that Meng Yue has a strange premonition, and Jiuxing seems like it will say something...
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, on the third day.
"What!?! You think two trees can tie down my heart?! Don't dream on!!! What's with the sister flowers?! Are they more important than a forest?! Who dares to stop me, I'll tell you who!"
When this got out, who knows how many young and talented individuals almost vomited blood. You're taking advantage of the situation and still acting smug? Why don't you just die!!
Yes, many people wish for Jiuxing's death.
"Just two trees...? Is that all?!?" Listening to his superior, Mori Samidare's tone, the gatekeeper Tsukino Usagi almost couldn't bear it and was about to run away. He had never seen Yorihime-sama so angry before.
Jiǔ Mìng is also suffering over there. What are these two sisters doing? It's not what they agreed on, okay?!
Why did I unknowingly get another black pot again?
This time, it's as if he had committed a public outrage. As soon as the moon rabbit sees him, he becomes a mad rabbit and bites him to death, not letting go. The requirements for capture have even been relaxed to the point where just leaving him with a breath of life is enough. You bunch of rabbits are guilty of crimes you don't even have!
He felt that he had already cultivated a body that could move freely among thousands of troops and horses, but every day he was disturbed by big and small things more than 20 times... This was a rather sad experience for him, and the fact that this number was steadily increasing made it even more sorrowful.
To be honest, now Jiǔ Mìng has a strange idea of being caught and taken back, and when he sees the brilliant expressions of those two sisters, he swears that his mood will definitely reach its peak!
It's just...
"When you promise something to others, do it to the best of your ability." He knocked on his own forehead, shaking off the idea that made him want to take action so much. Ah! Besides being influenced by the idea, there's another point.
Those rabbits didn't plan to catch him properly, every time they said in the previous prisoner of war declaration revealed their vicious psychology, you hurry up and resist after letting us hit it off and then catch! You dare to surrender, we dare to abuse!
If they collude with each other, Jiǔ Mìng thinks that even if he explains himself afterwards, it would still be considered a lame excuse. At most, he would be thought to have been caught off guard by them, so he wants to get back at them.
Hmph... That's why this old man won't be stupid enough to get caught by you guys.
This time when I go back home, let's have a big rabbit meat hot pot to celebrate.
"... " Closing the folding fan in his hand, Yagami Iori was equally shocked by the news he had received about Kuroba. What kind of 'talent' could have turned things into this situation?
"Hey! Ha! What you should be worried about is whether he'll come after you once he gets the identity he's going to have soon." Rumia sneered at Yakumo Yukari with a malicious grin, "Tsk tsk, if you get caught, what do you think will happen when you fall into his hands?"
“……”
I'm really looking forward to it.
"Really? But he seems unexpectedly trustworthy...". Yakumo Yuko's gaze wandered, her face slightly tilted as if thinking about something. Were things really as simple as the rumors of Tsukihime? It felt like there was something strange somewhere...
"Cut." Seeing Yatsume no longer bothering with the issue, Roumuya pouted, "I'm saying, isn't it about time to leave this place? I've had enough of staying here!"
The dark side hidden in the hearts of the lunar people is far more terrible than those humans on Earth. She came with great expectations this time, but what she actually experienced was quite disappointing. If only I had known, I wouldn't have come here to suffer!
"It's done." Yakumo Yuko shook her head, with a lingering sense of unease in her heart, wondering what she had overlooked.
"It's the last day." Meng Yue Yijie, who had been sitting quietly, picked up the weapon beside her and stood up. Today, those monsters would definitely return to their passage back and forth on Earth, unless they wanted to be left behind. So at this time, the remaining monsters had gathered together... He was among them too.
She walked out of the house with her hand tightly grasping her weapon. "The final battle, proceed as planned! Not a single one of those monsters will escape!"
"Didn't I come back late?" Having shaken off the last wave of pursuers, Jiǔ Mìng finally arrived at the area that went back and forth to Earth on time. If he had come early, he was afraid of revealing this place. If he came late... This was something that absolutely could not be late for.
"The timing is just right." Upon seeing Jiǔ Mìng, Bā Yún Zǐ's mouth curled up into a faint smile, which quickly disappeared again...
