Chapter 133 No Nesting Dolls
The group ate and chatted as night fell. Three of them volunteered to wash the dishes, while Li Muyang and the other three rested.
Of course, I have no objection to that.
The three newlyweds were also chatting quietly while washing the dishes.
"This senior seems like a nice person?" The only girl, Feng Feifei, said with a sigh of relief, "Although he doesn't talk much, he and that Lu You should have noticed our little actions, but they didn't react at all."
Cao Zhi sighed leisurely, "Indeed, to be honest! Brother Li's cooking skills... I suspect he might also have some kind of master chef identity!"
Feng Feifei (*?▽?): "Agreed!"
Seeing his two teammates so quickly succumb to the sweet words and promises of delicious food, Li Yichen rolled his eyes and said righteously, "We still need to be clear about our place. Brother Li is just a senior who guides us, not a babysitter. We three newcomers can't help, but we absolutely can't cause trouble either."
"And another thing! You're underestimating these guys! It's not just Brother Li and Lu You who saw through our little tricks! Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er just didn't seem to notice! Actually, they're all aware of it! If I'm not mistaken, the three of them probably also have a chat group similar to ours that they're secretly communicating with each other!"
Feng Feifei and Cao Zhi were immediately surprised; they thought they had done something flawless.
"You mean... the information that was leaked to us was all intentionally given by Brother Li?" Feng Feifei asked in surprise, covering her mouth.
Cao Zhi had already imagined a series of poisonous scenarios.
Li Yichen rolled his eyes speechlessly. He could tell what his two teammates were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He complained, "Alright, alright, stop guessing. They're just being cautious! What value are we to these four? What reason would they have to harm us?"
"Of the four people here, only Lu You might have been a villain before, but he has most likely been redeemed now. As for Brother Li, he is good friends with Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, and is even their older brother. How could he possibly have bad intentions?"
Yes, that's the advantage of being friends with a righteous protagonist!
The three of them didn't know Li Muyang, but they did know Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er! Even Lu You!
The first two are standard upright protagonists, kind-hearted, and not the kind of saintly characters. If we really have to evaluate them, the two women are like great heroes in martial arts novels! Even Lu You, who is a minor boss, is not a purely evil person. At least he wouldn't attack ordinary people for no reason!
How bad could someone be if they can trust them?
What kind of bad intentions might a man have who would secretly prepare a large table of delicious food for someone he's just met?
Li Yichen would never admit that he too had succumbed to the allure of delicious food!
Li Muyang ( ▔, ▔ )ㄏ: Heh, I just wanted to know how much my Xiuxiu eats.
These three cautious newcomers, how could they not have noticed that such a large meal was completely devoid of food?
"Generally speaking, let's just be polite. Trust needs to be built up gradually. Our first mission takes quite a while, and there's still some time before the main storyline begins, so we have plenty of time to get to know each other!" Li Yichen said.
The remaining two nodded silently.
It's clear that this trio has formed a group with Li Yichen at the head.
Judging from Li Yichen's way of handling things, his family background is definitely not bad! At least he can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing, because he has a strong sense of self-confidence!
Feng Feifei and Cao Zhi were somewhat reserved when facing Li Muyang and his group of four, and they were also quite nervous when introducing themselves.
Feng Feifei's parents are divorced, and she lives with her mother. Although her mother has always treated her well and has never remarried, Feng Feifei's personality is still somewhat introverted.
Cao Zhi came from a good family, a scholarly family, but unfortunately, he had a very low profile in his family. In addition, his abilities were only average. Even though his family did not deliberately bully him, Cao Zhi's personality was still somewhat weak.
Overall, these three people are all good; at least they are easy to get along with in terms of personality.
So far, Li Muyang and his group are quite satisfied with these three. Just as the three of them were chatting, the four of them were naturally chatting as well.
"...That's quite interesting?" Feng Ling'er said with a light laugh, arms crossed. "They're hiding it very carefully, but Li Yichen should be able to guess that we've noticed it."
You guessed I noticed, and I guessed you guessed I noticed... It's like a nested doll.
"However, he's a decent person, as long as he knows his limits and is obedient," Lu You commented. "It's okay if he's a little slow!"
Bai Yuxiu turned to Li Muyang and asked, "Brother Li, what do you think?"
"Let's just sit and watch." Li Muyang spread his hands: "These three newcomers are indeed quite good, and they know their own limitations!"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow!"
Actually, there's no need for three ordinary people to be so secretive; it's just that Li Muyang is fulfilling his duty to his mission!
While we are all good people, others may not be. The most important thing to be wary of if we want to navigate the myriad realms successfully is this:
Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.
It was late at night, and everyone had already gone to bed.
Li Muyang and Lu Youcai met in a small grove of trees not far from the house to exchange intelligence.
“Young Master, we are currently in the first five years of the story,” Lu You explained. “Japan is still in the Meiji period.”
It has to be said, those who work in intelligence are truly professionals.
Even with a different map, Lu You can quickly adapt to his work, especially when he has a history book in his hand!
Li Muyang stroked his chin, lost in thought for a long time.
Then, he waved his hand, and three shadows appeared in front of him.
"Since you're new here, I'm giving you a mission," Li Muyang said calmly. "Take control of the upper echelons of Japan in this era. During this process, don't stand out too much, try to avoid conflicts with the Demon Slayer Corps, maintain good relations, and secondly, don't hinder the development of this era! Let things take their course for now."
"Understood!" x3
The three shadows quickly disappeared.
Unlike Bai Yuxiu and the others, the three great demons, or rather the Hundred Ghosts Parade, were all considered as Li Muyang's servants. Therefore, Li Muyang could directly summon them to descend through the authority of the Hundred Ghosts Parade!
As soon as Li Muyang gave the order, countless dark figures flew out silently from his side!
The dominance of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
Li Muyang had already established the rules, and besides, these monsters who roamed the night with a hundred ghosts were not quite the same as the monsters in Japanese legends; they were more like a group of demon cultivators.
Simply put, there was absolutely no need for cannibalism.
Perhaps they had eaten monsters in their past lives, but they all said they didn't taste good. In most cases, it was just to scare people, not to eat people for the sake of eating people. In this life, in order to maintain the purity of their demonic power, they have given up such thoughts.
Just kidding! The new leader is a human! You try eating one and see! Why offend the leader over something as unnecessary and unpalatable as this?
As for the task Li Muyang issued this time, it's a piece of cake for the three demons! Isn't it just like going back to their old ways?
This time, with Li Muyang's small world as their base, they don't need to fight with humans for territory. To put it bluntly, there's no fundamental conflict. It's just that controlling the upper echelons of Japan is much easier!
As for those so-called Onmyoji... hehehe!
In the world of Demon Slayer, can the Onmyoji defeat Li Muyang's Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)? Even if the demons are not at their peak now, judging from my perception, these Onmyoji have already fallen into a state of decline!
They're currently within the Tokyo metropolitan area! Li Muyang's senses could only detect a few faint auras! And each one was older than the last! The younger generation had practically no fighting ability whatsoever!
Most importantly, it's about the feeling this world gives Li Muyang!
It had a deathly stillness about it! As if it were about to be destroyed soon!
Li Muyang was, after all, a Golden Core cultivator. He could comprehend the power of heaven and earth, even if it was only a superficial understanding, and thus comprehend the information this world conveyed to him.
Do whatever you want, just catch your breath.
It's already in this state, so further troubleshooting can't make things any worse! At worst, we can just restart it.
Since that's the case, Li Muyang won't stand on ceremony! He'll directly unleash the Hundred Ghosts Parade!
The three demons have already been instructed to talk to those Onmyoji. If they are unreasonable and insist on fighting to the death, then just eliminate them! The three divine artifacts are all in Li Muyang's hands; a bunch of Onmyoji are nothing to worry about!
There's even less need to be overly nervous about the remaining rabble! Given the current state of Japanese weaponry in this era, they're far from being able to inflict fatal damage on the monsters. There's no need to worry! Hesitation and timidity are neither Li Muyang's pursuit nor his nature! He'll strike when the time is right!
As Li Muyang sent out the Hundred Ghosts Parade, Lu You watched in utter disbelief. Li Muyang's other methods at least seemed aboveboard and could be explained by Taoist magic, but the methods before him were enough to shatter Lu You's worldview. Those were not normal beings at all!
monster?
My young master is truly powerful! He can even command such beings! Amazing! I'm truly impressed!
Unintentionally, Li Muyang startled Lu You again!
Unfortunately, he didn't realize this. He just felt that since Lu You would be one of his own from now on, he should let him witness some things.
Then... the two of them went to rest.
Around 3 a.m., a dark figure gradually approached the house where the group lived.
"Hehehe, this aura...slurp~" The strange-looking shadowy figure couldn't suppress his desire, and saliva involuntarily secreted from his mouth, completely out of control.
All he knew was that there was an incredibly enticing aroma here, and the taste was absolutely divine!
I sensed the people in the room, hehehe! One, two, three, four, five... six people in total! Not bad! Really not bad! This is fantastic!
Enter the village quietly, don't shoot!
Afraid of waking its delicious meal, the creature stealthily crept into the house in the darkness, finding the scent that most attracted it, and stretched out its wicked claws...
