The Reliable Gatekeeper and Friendly Head Maid of Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion?
Although Chen Luo could indeed use his Melee Grandmaster to knock Yakumo Yukari down again, Chen Luo felt guilty and was then hit with an armbar by Yakumo Yukari.
"Sorry if it works, then what's the point of having Reimu Hakurei? Good grief, if I hadn't used all my Boundary Manipulation on the [Boundary of Hardness and Fragility], I would be dumbfounded by now."
"I don't believe you! I didn't even use my full strength, how could I possibly knock you out?" Chen Luo didn't believe it at all.
Even if Yakumo Yukari doesn't resist, the Tai Xu Sword God with only three-tenths of his power couldn't possibly knock Yakumo Yukari unconscious.
After all, Yakumo Yukari's abilities are related to the origin, her soul is extremely unique, and she has lived for so many years...
The longer one survives, the stronger one's mental strength and the more determined one's will becomes, and the stronger one's resistance to the Tai Xu Sword God will be.
The Tai Xu Sword God is not invincible, so naturally he cannot be said to be unstoppable.
"Tsk." Yakumo Yukari released Chen Luo's arm with considerable displeasure.
Yakumo Yukari originally thought she could fool Chen Luo.
"What was the name of that move you just used?" Yakumo Yukari asked after releasing Chen Luo.
"Tai Xu Sword God!"
"The Tai Xu Sword God..." Yakumo Yukari murmured the name.
"And the Inch-Strike Technique: Heaven-Opening Strike".
"Huh? What does this have to do with the Inch-Punch Sky-Splitting' technique?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was taken aback.
"This is my new passive ability. It can cause a soul shock effect while damaging the enemy's head. Yakumo Yukari's final defense blocked most of the Tai Xu Sword God's attacks, but it couldn't block the soul shock attack," Chen Luo explained.
"Just how much power do you have?" Yakumo Yukari couldn't help but swear.
Good grief, I can't let you hit my back, or I'll be killed in one hit. I also can't let you hit my head, or I'll cause a soul shock.
So when I fight you, do I have to turn my head 180 degrees upside down to avoid triggering your ridiculously numerous passive effects?
"Uh, not bad. I haven't used [Stare and Social Death] yet," Chen Luo muttered.
"What kind of ability is this?"
"For example, it's roughly equivalent to me glaring at you, and before long, the entire Gensokyo will know your real age and most of your embarrassing past, right? But since it doesn't do much damage but is extremely insulting, I've never used it. Why don't you give it a try?"
"Get lost." Hearing Chen Luo's words, Yakumo Yukari moved to the side in fright.
She wasn't afraid of a real fight with Yakumo Yukari; after all, when it came to being shameless, no one could match her shamelessness.
The problem is that as long as a person lives long enough, she will have a lot of dark history.
Yakumo Yukari is another example.
Yakumo Yukari now feels that Chen Luo is full of shady abilities.
It can fight and run, appear and disappear unpredictably, and most importantly, its various abilities are impossible to defend against, making it a master at dealing with anyone who dares to challenge it.
Oh, and by the way, his props were disgusting too.
A revolver that will make you laugh for 10 minutes straight?
What kind of garbage is this?
Why are there such depraved people in the world?
"Don't be so opposed to me. It hurts me. And to be honest, if your abilities weren't so underhanded, I wouldn't mind fighting you for real. Yakumo Yukari know how amazing your abilities are, don't you?"
"I just don't want to be told that by you." Yakumo Yukari her eyes at Chen Luo.
Yakumo Yukari knew that her abilities would disgust her enemies, but Yakumo Yukari felt that Chen Luo's abilities would disgust them even more.
Killing people, destroying their spirit, and destroying their society—none of these are spared.
It causes you to die from multiple perspectives, including physiological, psychological, physical, and social aspects.
"Alright, I can't do anything about it now. But you haven't forgotten what you said before the fight, have Yakumo Yukari? One of the rules of Gensokyo's danmaku games is 'the Loser's Feast,'" Chen Luo kindly reminded her.
"Sorry, that rule doesn't exist anymore."
"Um???"
"Because I've decided to remove this rule from the soon-to-be-released bullet hell rules," said Yakumo Yukari, the founder of Gensokyo, the mastermind behind the Divine Concealment, and the enforcer of the rule.
Although implementing the Spell Card rules is Reimu Hakurei's responsibility, Yakumo Yukari could easily change them if she really wanted to.
"..."
"Hmph." Looking at the silent Chen Luo, Yakumo Yukari raised her head triumphantly.
"Yakumo Yukari... you don't want everyone in Gensokyo to know your age, do you? Or rather, you don't want everyone in Gensokyo to know all the dark history of your life, do you?" Chen Luo said quietly, looking at the stubborn Yakumo Yukari.
"..." Yakumo Yukari's body stiffened.
Damn, I forgot about that.
"Or perhaps you want to experience the taste of the Friendship Revolver every day? By the way, this revolver comes with a guaranteed hit effect; no matter where you are, it will definitely hit you if it fires. Hopefully, you won't be woken up laughing right after you've fallen asleep. Or perhaps you'll start laughing hysterically while you're getting intimate with Yuyuko."
"Stop talking, stop talking, what do you want?"
Chen Luo's last words did indeed break Yakumo Yukari's defenses.
Imagine this: you're enjoying a romantic meal with your wife, eating hotpot and singing songs, when suddenly you're hit by a bullet from a bandit.
Yuyuko could tolerate it or not, Yakumo Yukari certain.
How hateful!
"Yakumo Yukari, you should know now, right? My purpose in coming to Gensokyo?"
"Hmm, you want to see Patchouli? That sorceress?"
Yakumo Yukari had heard Chen Luo more than once that he seemed to be very interested in the Magus from the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion, apparently because the magician's abilities were quite similar to those of one of Chen Luo's friends.
Furthermore, Yakumo Yukari was also quite concerned about the so-called "original form" that Chen Luo had mentioned before.
"That's right, so Yakumo Yukari, could you be my tour guide in Gensokyo and take me to the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion to see Patchouli?" Chen Luo asked.
Chen Luo actually had a clear goal in coming to Gensokyo, but that troublemaker Yakumo Yukari always tricked Chen Luo into going to weird places to be used as a tool.
"Wait, this isn't just one request, it's three," Yakumo Yukari said.
"Uh, one request? Basically, I just need to be able to meet Patchouli in a reasonable and legal way, without getting beaten up or kicked out as soon as we meet."
"... Tsk." Yakumo Yukari turned her head away unhappily.
With so many prerequisite rules, why don't you go and be the organizer of a sandbox garden?
"Wait, what do you mean by that 'tsk'? You didn't really intend to just throw me in front of Patchouli and watch me get chased and beaten up like an idiot by the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion's people, did you?"
"..." Having her thoughts guessed, Yakumo Yukari was speechless.
"Yakumo Yukari, you're so despicable!"
"How can you be a good person if you can guess what I'm thinking? We're all the same," Yakumo Yukari said disdainfully.
Chapter 494 The Reliable Doorman and Kind Head Maid of the Crimson Pavilion.
"Is this the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion? It does look quite red, and it's huge." Chen Luo stood in front of a massive Western-style mansion, looking up at the entire building.
In the distance from this enormous mansion stands a very conspicuous clock tower.
It's clear that the owner of this mansion must have been very wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to build such a luxurious mansion.
The red color here refers to the deep red windows that can be seen from the outside, but the overall color of this mansion is indeed red.
After all, the owner of the mansion was a vampire, so it's normal for him to like red.
The mansion doesn't have many windows because vampires don't like sunlight, and there are many rooms without windows.
Chen Luo turned his head slightly and could see a seemingly huge lake next to the mansion, with a light mist rising from it, making the view very poor.
In fact, the lake itself is not very big; it's just that the poor visibility makes people mistake its size.
That's right, this is the famous Mist Lake, and living inside Mist Lake is Cirno, the most powerful, intelligent, and wise leader of the Mist Lake fairies in the entire Gensokyo!
A wise fairy who can quickly answer any mathematical problem!
Hmm? You're asking about the answer to Goldbach's Conjecture?
9!
That's right, it's number 9.
Before you say whether it's right or wrong, just tell me if it's fast or not.
"That's right, this is the Gensokyo Scarlet Devil Mansion." Yakumo Yukari nodded lazily beside her.
Yakumo Yukari herself didn't want to help Chen Luo, especially by being his tour guide.
Because Yakumo Yukari enjoys seeing Chen Luo make a fool of himself.
However, due to the circumstances, Yakumo Yukari had no choice but to agree to Chen Luo's request.
After all, Yakumo Yukari wouldn't want a bullet to suddenly poke her while she's being intimate, and then she'd start laughing out loud. That would be really embarrassing, wouldn't it?
"Let's go in." Yakumo Yukari opened her parasol, shielding herself from the blazing Hinata the red mansion.
"It's really strange that you can still walk properly, Yakumo Yukari. Is this your exercise routine for a year?" Chen Luo, who was standing next to Yakumo Yukari, didn't hold back in making sarcastic remarks.
After all, Chen Luo's words made sense. When has Yakumo Yukari ever made a normal appearance? Usually, she just pops out from a Gap/Space Manipulation and startles you, doesn't she?
Or perhaps they're secretly spying on you from the shadows, and if they see anything delicious around you, they'll grab some too.
How do you think the three great voyeurs of Gensokyo came about?
The three voyeurs: Yakumo Yukari, Ibuuki Suika, and Shameimaru Aya.
Yakumo Yukari likes to hide in Gap/Space Manipulation, and at certain times, she secretly opens the Gap/Space Manipulation and watches you from behind.
Moreover, they all claimed that because of their deep love for Gensokyo, they were observing Gensokyo at all times.
The first part of the statement is indeed correct. No matter what, Yakumo Yukari is truly full of love for the entire Gensokyo, after all, it is the cause she has dedicated her life to.
However, the second half of the statement is slightly less convincing.
The other two didn't appear, so we won't discuss them for now.
But the only thing that is certain is that the three voyeurs truly deserve their titles.
"Who do you think I would appear next to someone else without using the convenient method of Gap/Space Manipulation? Isn't it because of you? And you're still making sarcastic remarks?" Yakumo Yukari glared at Chen Luo with displeasure.
Why didn't Yakumo Yukari appear through the Gap/Space Manipulation? Wasn't it because she had Chen Luo with her?
Yakumo Yukari didn't care. If she could just leave Chen Luo there and watch Chen Luo get chased, beaten, or even thrown out in a sack, she would be happy to watch it all with a spectator's mentality. But the key point was that Chen Luo insisted on not being driven away.
This means that Yakumo Yukari cannot bring Chen Luo in through any illegal means, and the owner of the mansion must accept Chen Luo's request to visit.
We also cannot allow anyone in the mansion to develop any sense of rejection towards Chen Luo, to the point that they might kick him out.
In short, we can't mess with Chen Luo anymore.
However, it's not really that troublesome. After all, Gensokyo is Yakumo Yukari's territory, and since the other party was able to move into Gensokyo, they naturally owe Yakumo Yukari a favor.
However, this favor wouldn't be needed for just visiting one person. Yakumo Yukari could fully utilize her local connections to help Chen Luo successfully meet Patchouli.
"Yakumo Yukari, you should have a good idea of how much of a 'troublemaker' you are, right? I'm doing this for my own good. I don't want to be kicked out as soon as I go in, or even beaten up."
"If you ask me, why did you have to introduce a Magus? Why not just steal a few books from her library and return them to her later?" Yakumo Yukari thought Chen Luo had made things far too complicated.
"Do you think I'm like you? Stealing a book? If we don't see Patchouli, this visit will be pointless. Besides, if I wanted to steal something, would I need you?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yakumo Yukari.
If we're really talking about peeping, Chen Luo is third to none; the first is Yakumo Yukari.
But when it comes to stealing, Chen Luo might be a step ahead of Yakumo Yukari, since his Void Stealth ability can indeed be done without anyone noticing.
"But shouldn't we really ignore this guard?" As Chen Luo followed Yakumo Yukari's steps and slowly moved inside, he pointed to the guard standing fiercely by the gate near him.
However, the security guard's mental state was slightly off.
"To be able to fall asleep standing up, and to sleep so soundly, is truly outrageous." Chen Luo looked at the girl who was striking an attacking stance resembling ancient martial arts and clicked his tongue in amazement.
She had long, red hair that reached her waist, with a braid on each side of her temples.
Her braids were decorated with bows, and there were also bow-like decorations tied with ribbons on her chest.
Perhaps it's because the other person has very long legs that they appear very tall.
She was wearing two outfits, mainly Chinese clothing and a traditional Chinese wedding dress, with dark green as the main color.
