So Mu Xian fought him, and when the scabbard in his hand was pointed at Iwazo who had been knocked to the ground, Iwazo agreed to take care of Kuri.
With the little tail gone, Mu Xian's surroundings became much quieter.
Leaving the camp in White Fox Field, Mu Xian quickly arrived at Inazuma Castle.
Inazuma Castle is built against the mountain, with the main road leading directly to the castle tower at the top of the mountain, and shops lining both sides of the road.
Mu Xian remembered that Xiao Gong had said he had seen Yae no Miko leave the castle tower and then head to Yae no Do, so he decided to go to Yae no Do first.
As a giant in the light novel industry, Yaedo occupies the highest position among the city's wanderers, and it is not too far from the entrance.
Following the main road deeper into Inazuma Castle, Mu Xian soon saw Yaedo.
Outside Yaedo, light novel fans lined up in a short queue, their faces full of anticipation as they looked at the scene inside.
Occasionally, two or three people would come out from inside, each carrying a light novel with a brightly colored cover.
When I was at Narukami Taisha, I visited Yaedo quite a few times.
At that time, Yaedo was so crowded that there weren't enough people to maintain order.
Perhaps due to the Rongcai Festival, Yaedo Hall is much quieter now than before.
Thinking it over, Mu Xian withdrew his gaze and silently stood at the back of the line.
Previously, thanks to Yae no Miko's privileges, Mu Xian was able to cut in line.
But now... the current Mu Xian doesn't want to have too much to do with those people from his past life.
Even with that fox, Mu Xian didn't want to reveal his identity unless absolutely necessary.
Although, in the eyes of that fox who only cared about itself, whether it lived or died didn't matter...
Mu Xian's eyes darkened slightly, and he put the demon mask on again.
Soon after, two more new fans lined up behind Mu Xian.
The two book fans seemed to know each other, chatting as they queued behind Mu Xian.
"Have you heard? There are now many packs of wolves that can float in mid-air outside the city. I heard they're called Beast Realm Hounds."
"How could I not know? My neighbor's son, Jiro, encountered those wolves. When he was brought back, the wounds on his body gave me a huge shock."
"Why did this have to happen? I'm too scared to go to the outlying islands for the Rongcai Festival now."
"Don't worry, not long ago, the general issued a bounty for the collection of materials from those wolf packs. He probably wants to hand them over to adventurers for processing."
"The bounty... relying solely on those adventurers shouldn't be enough to complete it. Shouldn't the Inazuma warriors also be assigned to hunt down the monsters?"
"Um... although I didn't hear any explicit orders, it seems like the islands have already started taking action."
"It seems that the General has finally... wait, what's that?"
Mu Xian said he had overheard it unintentionally, but still looked to his right front following the words of the two people behind him.
Two Inazuma soldiers rushed to the entrance of Yaedo Hall and posted a notice there.
Because of the distance, Mu Xian did not see the contents of the notice clearly.
But as the number of people in line decreased, Mu Xian slowly approached the sign ahead.
Mu Xian initially thought it was someone else who had angered the doll and was wanted, but now it seems that's not the case.
It was still a picture paired with a text, but the picture was much more exquisite than Mu Xian's "The Murderer Who Collapsed Clothes".
Although both are done with just a few strokes, these strokes are different from the abstract "murderer" painting; instead, they reveal a certain charm.
The image is not a human figure, but a giant wolf without limbs.
It resembles a hunting dog from the beast realm, but with some differences.
With a puzzled look, Mu Xian looked at the text below and immediately learned the name of the monster.
The Shogunate is recruiting individuals to go to Tsurugashi Island to defeat the monster: the Golden King Beast. Those interested should register at the Tenryo Magistrate's Office.
"Sir, what do you need to buy?"
The voice of the Yaedo employee made Mu Xian turn his gaze back, only to find that there was no one in front of him anymore.
"Excuse me." After apologizing, Mu Xian walked into the store. "Can I take a look myself?"
"Please do as you wish, but please do not stay too long, sir."
"understood."
Nodding, Mu Xian then looked at the light novels displayed in the store.
When he first arrived at Narukami Shrine, Mu Xian was influenced by Yae no Miko and started reading light novels, which gradually became a small hobby.
Mu Xian used to think that she was just trying to make herself happy.
But now... that fox probably just wants Yaedo to have more business.
The eyes behind the mask drooped down, and when they looked up again, they were looking at the bookshelf where best-selling books were displayed.
A faithful love story under the oppression of a "loser princess" and a capricious general!
The Love Story of a Fox Girl Who Fell in Love and a Samurai Who Fell to the Underworld: A Love That Transcends Life and Death
The final volume of Samurai Romance! Cherry Blossom Bride Under the Shrine!
Light novels still have long titles, but are romance themes really that popular now?
Mu Xian shifted his gaze from the bookshelf, searched around in the corner, and finally pulled out a light novel.
"Starting with Death: The Drifting Adventure of a Corpse"
It's no wonder it was relegated to a corner, but at least it's not a romance story.
Thinking it over, Mu Xian picked up the light novel and placed it in front of the employees of Yaedo.
"Excuse me?"
While the employees were paying their bills, Mu Xian asked, "Is Yae no Miko here?"
Are you looking for Lord Kuji?
The employee from Yaedo looked up and handed the light novel back to her: "Lady Yaedo just came by, but she left after saying a few words."
"Then do you know where she went?"
"One thousand two hundred moras, thank you for your patronage."
Mu Xian silently took out Mora from his purse, and the employee who took Mora smiled.
"I heard from Lord Miyaji that she was going to leave Inazuma for a while. Right now, she should be going to the outlying island to take a boat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian and the light novel disappeared from Yaedo in an instant, their speed like a black shadow flashing by, startling the Yaedo employees.
After leaving Yaedo, Mu Xian immediately ran towards the outlying island.
The fox was actually trying to leave Inazuma; it was just bad luck. We had to stop her before she could leave.
Thinking of this, Mu Xian quickened his pace and soon started running.
But in the rush, a mistake was made. Just as Mu Xian ran to the front of a small alley, a white figure suddenly emerged from the alley.
Before he could react, Mu Xian bumped into the man.
He felt his footsteps pause, followed by a muffled groan from the girl.
Chapter 64 The Demon Brother is the Great Demon King!
However, Mu Xian moved quickly, his gaze falling on the girl he had almost knocked over.
Before he could even get a clear look at the girl, Mu Xian had already reached out and grabbed her right hand.
Without the cheesy, overused intimate gestures found in romance light novels, Mu Xian managed to regain the girl's balance.
"fine..."
As Mu Xian released his right hand, he was about to speak when he saw the girl raise her head.
Ayaka Kamisato.
His normally calm eyes held a hint of complexity, but he quickly recovered.
"Mr. Traveler..."
Linghua was different from the one she was last night. She had regained her usual elegance, just like she had when she faced Mu Xian before.
However, Mu Xian didn't seem to care much about this attitude. He looked down and happened to see the young lady of the Shenli family hiding something behind her back.
In a fleeting moment, Mu Xian caught a glimpse of gold and a familiar pattern.
A few Mora.
"Sir traveler, you should..."
Ayaka Kamisato seemed to want to say something, but then she saw Mu Xian look away from her.
Without saying a word, he hurriedly headed out of the city.
Even after Mu Xian had walked away, Ayaka Kamisato's mouth was still slightly open.
Release the Mora from your hand; it makes a crisp metallic sound as it falls to the ground.
"That shouldn't be the case..."
Ayaka Kamisato murmured, "As for Kizuna-kun... he hasn't asked me if I was injured yet..."
Those eyes slowly lost their focus, and Ayaka Kamisato clutched her chest, feeling as if something was missing inside.
—Perhaps, Mu Xianjun has other more important things to do.
The revival of the Kamisato family, the establishment of the final chapter, the continuation of the family line...
God remembered that there were indeed many, many more important things, and that he had told him himself.
—No, that's not how it works.
—Clearly...clearly, for Mu Xianjun, the most important thing should be himself.
The right hand, which was pressed against the chest, began to rub, then faster and harder.
No matter how hard she tried, Ayaka Kamisato always felt that the emptiness in her heart couldn't be erased; instead, it kept growing larger.
