Chapter 125: Actually, I'm a Transmigrator...
"How about... giving it a try?"
With a gaze that seemed to say "I'll hate you for the rest of my life", Mitsuki Ikki glared at him with a fake smile.
"Then... I'll go silence him."
It was as if he had made a very difficult decision, Jiǔ Mìng pointed to the figure hiding in the corner of the wall not far away. If he wasn't mistaken, the other party's sneaky behavior plus the camera-like thing in his hand should be the paparazzi!
"Oh no!!!"
As soon as the other party saw Jiǔ Mìng's gaze, he suddenly let out a loud cry and turned around to run. It should be said that it was indeed a skill honed through practice. He ran so fast that in the blink of an eye, he had vanished from sight. But... what was up with the other party's ghostly expression?
The nine lives that were pondering had just turned around when a white light chopped down towards his forehead, "Hey! Do you want to die?! You vicious woman!"
To actually take advantage of when I'm not paying attention and try to kill myself!?
"Now there is only one person who can walk out!!" Holding onto the sword and standing up, Meng Yue Yi tightly stared at Jiu Ming.
"Good grief!" He shook his head, and Jiǔ Mìng directly propped her up to go outside, "Stop throwing a tantrum, hurry up and send me out, you should have a way to deal with your own state."
"Whatever..." Meng Yue Yi Ji shook her head with a bitter expression, then suddenly grabbed Jiu Ming tightly, "Anyway, I've changed my mind, you're not allowed to leave!"
"Huh?!"
"You must stay in Lunar City to atone for your actions!"
"What did I do wrong?" The woman's heart changed so quickly? What was she doing staying here as a moon person without anything happening to herself?
"Isn't it a big fuss in the imperial palace?"
"That's unexpected... Alright, alright, I haven't been locked up in this cell by you for several days now?"
Meng Yue tightly grasped Jiuming's wrist and took a deep breath, "You scoundrel, do you know? I once made a promise!"
"I don't know." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head bluntly, joking that how could he possibly know? If he knew, he absolutely wouldn't go and touch... Ah, let's see the situation.
"Now you can know!" Men Yue Yi Ji emphasized her tone. The strength in her hand also increased, as if worried that Jiu Ming would listen and then suddenly let go of her and run away.
Jiǔ Mìng felt that her sudden increase in strength was a bit suspicious, as if she was intentionally dragging out the time, and her strength had already recovered quite a bit!
"Can I continue to remain ignorant?"
"...A look of annoyance flashed across her face quickly, "Alright! You go find that guy from earlier. Just take him out before he opens his mouth to outsiders about what's going on here!"
This isn't forcing someone beyond their abilities, is it? The city of Yue is so big, even if he were to exhaust himself to death, he probably still wouldn't be able to find the other party.
"You're not a princess, what's the next seal order?"
"It's definitely useless." Mian Yue Yi Ji looked like she wanted to beat Jiu Ming severely, "I'm telling you, what I promised at the time was that my must is to defeat mine... Listen carefully!!"
"Haha~" Jiǔ Mìng turned his face sixty degrees upwards, looking at the sky, "What era is this? You're still playing this martial arts to win a bride thing? What if you get defeated by a woman, what would you do?"
"That's even better!" Meng Yue Yi glared fiercely at Jiu Ming.
"That's okay, but it seems like I haven't defeated you yet?" Jiǔ Mìng knotted his hair. To be honest, the girl in front of him was indeed quite good-looking, not counting the age issue, after all, they were both aliens from different planets, fifty paces laughing at a hundred paces, but... it felt somewhat inexplicable."
"But others won't think so, anyway, from now on you're not allowed to touch me! Until we settle the score between us."
"What if you win?" Jiǔ Mìng raised an eyebrow, his own fate wasn't decided by you, alas.
"You can just keep hanging onto your reputation."
"What if I win?"
"I will fulfill my wife's responsibilities."
"......" Jiǔ Mìng felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and he patted her shoulder with his hand. "I'm saying, why don't you let me try to find that guy? I reckon he can't have gotten far yet."
Jiǔ Mìng acknowledged, he almost agreed to it. Only...
"You want to die that badly?" Putting it bluntly, seeing Jiǔ Mìng's behavior, Mián Yuè Yī Jī let him go straightforwardly, "Believe it or not, in a minute, there will be a large army coming to kill you."
"Ah ha! Believe it or not, I'll knock you down in just a second!"
"Come on!!"
"I... I give up!" Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, "Forget it, I'll just tell you the truth. Actually, I'm a transmigrator... either you come with me and leave this world, or I'll go by myself."
"Time traveler? What thing?"
"A person from another world."
“……”
What happened next... Meng Yue Yi's first reaction was that it wouldn't work, and then she couldn't help but believe it. After believing it, she felt deeply entangled and helpless, anyway, she could already imagine what the whole moon would be like tomorrow... no, this afternoon.
And after the ninth life, the words left behind made her even more want to refuse but couldn't refuse. He was willing to be an existence that blocked bullets for her. Your promise is also considered non-existent. Anyway, in the future, those who want to talk to you about major life events will first bypass the ninth life and come to me.
Everything else has been taken care of by Liang Yuxi for Meng Ruyi.
It's basically the Earth spirit feeling that she can't match up to the high and mighty Moon Princess, so she chose to escape. However, the Moon Princess Mutsuki is too attached to her promise, so she won't give up and insists on fulfilling her vow. At the same time, she expresses great anger towards the person's evasive attitude (she was already annoyed with Koko), which she considers a result of poor upbringing (this is something she added herself). After catching the person back, she wants to properly discipline them...
"In the end, those spoiled rich kids from the capital city of Tokyo next month, and even that teacher's relative who wants to find you, have no reason to do so."
"That's what you said, but I feel strange, like I'm being discriminated against?" Mutsuki Ikki gazed at Kurnin with suspicion, and for a moment she almost believed that Kurnin was really a person from the future, or perhaps an outsider? "An illusion?"
"Hmph, must be an illusion." Jiǔ Mìng chuckled, "In short, if you're willing to follow me, I'll agree with both hands up."
He smiled lightly and just said it, but in reality, it was absolutely impossible.
"I won't betray Tsukishiro." Mitsuki Inagi shook her head.
"So, let's just use the reason from earlier, shall we? Isn't it time to send me off now? After all, if I couldn't run away, then the previous reasons wouldn't hold up." Jiǔ Mìng's smile didn't diminish.
"...I always feel that your true intention is to have me escort you out of Lunar City..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Ah, woman, being too clever isn't good either.
"Three cun's worth of time... it's a bit long, huh." With a soft sigh, Yakumo Yukari's face showed a hint of fatigue as the barrier that had enveloped the entire battlefield began to crumble. This barrier not only sealed off the surroundings but also had a certain degree of suppression on the youkai; if she were to dispel it from outside, she wouldn't look this exhausted.
And it won't take so long to crack.
"Awesome." Mutsuki Houkou praised, Yakumo Tsubaki dispelled the barrier in less than two incense sticks' time. However, within this short period of time, under the full-force attack of the Tsukino soldiers, those youkai's morale had been crushed to smithereens, and their casualties were severe. "With your abilities, you should be well aware what kind of outcome awaits at the Moon Palace, right? Can you tell me the reason?"
"Hah, does a demon's unprovoked invasion need a reason?"
"It seems so." Mōgetsu Hōshi smiled softly, knowing it was a lie but not pointing it out. Well, she had already given these youkai some leeway to maneuver, even though their path back was already gone...
"Do you still want to continue resisting?"
"Ugh, of course, I don't want to try being a prisoner."
The monsters, who had been on the offensive all along, retreated for the first time. Compared to their initial numbers, they now have less than half of them left. The power of Tsukimiya is too great, and the monsters, who initially thought they had come in large numbers, only now realize that they are still too few.
With the retreat, the monsters could no longer organize any effective offense.
Is the war over or is it still going on?
In a bamboo forest, a rabbit girl looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and thought to herself that she had been living here for some time now. At first, she had come to Earth on a lifeboat, but it seemed like there was a miscalculation - the fuel wasn't enough, and as they approached Earth, the boat simply fell...
She directly rushed into the bamboo forest, almost triggering a large fire in the bamboo forest. Then when she crawled out of the lifeboat, a black-haired rabbit spirit claiming to be Inaba Emperor jumped out and questioned her why she destroyed this bamboo forest.
Then she was embarrassed to help plant bamboo here, anyway, just arrived on Earth and had nothing to do, planting bamboo was not bad either.
Later she also met other people here, and they kindly took her in... It feels like the people on this earth are not bad either, and there is life.
"Heh heh! You're staring at the moon again, huh?" A small hand waved in front of the rabbit-eared girl's eyes, and she refocused her gaze to look puzzled at the black-haired rabbit-eared girl with a mischievous grin.
"Shall we go and have some fun?" suggested the black-haired rabbit-eared girl.
"......Sigh? Okay." Seeing the black-haired rabbit-eared girl suddenly show a pitiful expression, the rabbit-eared girl who hadn't figured out her personality yet nodded...
"How did it become like this!?" On the lake shore leading to Tsukimi, Yakumo Akane was sweating profusely as she stared at the moon in the sky. The moon's cycle seemed... altered! If that's the case, there's no way it'll be full moon on the 15th of this month. If they miss this timing, the return path set by Lord Murasaki will close.
The big fox was entangled, and upon discovering the situation, she could only stand by and watch, unable to do anything. Notifying Yakumo Yukari... was also impossible due to the distance. Now she could only pray in her heart, hoping that her own Lord Yukari was safe.
But the capital of the moon is much more lively, just like the topic between the Moon Princess and the Earth Invaders, all kinds of news are spreading wildly, with a speed that makes even the nine lives speechless.
