Lady Guuji: Let Me Examine My Benefactor's Body?

"Lady Guuji, have you ever seen Lady Guuji?"

Hearing the samurai's spirit say this, Bai Ye asked curiously.

"Yes, that's right." The samurai nodded. "After the 'darkness' corrupted my body, although I couldn't control myself, my memories remained. The souls of us who were devoured by the dark souls involuntarily gathered together. I remember that the soul leading us was that of Lord Lady Guuji."

Just as the samurai was speaking, the surrounding darkness once again surged towards Bai Ye and the samurai's soul. Especially towards the samurai's soul, the dark aura seemed to recognize which side was the weaker party and attempted to pull the samurai's soul back into the darkness.

However, how could Bai Ye allow such a thing to happen? Seeing the dark figure approaching, he directly slashed out with his sword, causing the dark figure to quickly move away.

The samurai's spirit looked at the 'pitch black' with lingering fear.

He said to Bai Ye, "Young man, if I get infected by that 'darkness' again, I'd rather die than be controlled by the 'darkness' again."

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will go wrong in this kind of situation."

"I say this with confidence," said Bai Ye.

"Even if you are infected by the darkness, I can easily save you."

Of course, don't dwell on minor issues like making a small incision in your body.

"This must be very taxing on you, right?" The samurai quickly shook his head. "Fighting against 'Darkness' is very difficult, we can't waste our strength on us so easily."

"Oh, the consumption is actually not much."

"I said it casually," said Bai Ye.

At least it doesn't consume much of my energy.

Even so, the samurai quickly shook his head.

"The 'Darkness' is still encroaching on Inazuma, isn't it? We should put all our strength into fighting the 'Darkness' and not waste a single bit of power. We are currently in a spirit state and cannot help Inazuma."

"The invasion of 'Darkness' is long gone." Looking at the Bai Ye, he quickly said, "Later, when the Thunder God returned from Khaenri'ah, he isolated 'Darkness' from Inazuma. Apart from a little bit of filth, it will no longer affect Inazuma."

"Is that so? That's wonderful!"

The samurai seemed very excited.

He quickly led Bai Ye towards the place where their souls resided.

While he was writing, he was still muttering to himself with Bai Ye:

"I wish we could get out of here. I told my wife and children to evacuate with the crowd, and I don't know how they are now. I wish I could see them one last time before I die."

"That's probably not possible."

Bai Ye shook his head gently.

"Could it be that our rear has also been attacked?" The samurai's face changed instantly when he heard what Bai Ye said.

Seeing his expression change, Bai Ye immediately explained, "Oh, no, it's just that too much time has passed outside."

"Too long? How long has it been? It hasn't been decades, has it?"

"Oh, not decades," Bai Ye said to the samurai, "But five years have passed."

"The fifth anniversary..." Upon hearing Bai Ye, the samurai stopped in his tracks.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm not kidding. It really has been five years outside."

"I see..." The samurai's expression dipped slightly for a moment, then he quickly composed himself and said to Bai Ye:

"Actually, it's pretty good. At least it proves that our efforts back then weren't wasted at all. Inazuma survived that disaster and made it through five years. Haha, I really want to see Inazuma five years from now, and see my descendants. I hope Inazuma won't become so unfamiliar that I won't recognize him."

"Forehead..."

It's not good to talk about it Bai Ye.

Is his statement that nothing has changed comforting him or hurting him?

Never mind, let him come and see for himself when the time comes.

However, it's something that I can do to let him see his descendants. If nothing unexpected happens, given the samurai family tradition in Inazuma Bai Ye, finding his descendants shouldn't be too difficult.

Bai Ye and the samurai continued walking forward.

Suddenly, without warning, a wisp of black energy entered the warrior's soul.

"Well..."

The samurai's face changed, and he was about to say something to Bai Ye. At that moment Bai Ye raised her longsword and thrust it down into his thigh.

As his longsword swept across, the 'blackness' inside the samurai's body was immediately cleared away.

Looking at the wound on his thigh, the samurai's lips twitched, and he asked Bai Ye, "Is this how you cleanse the 'darkness'?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded with a smile.

"If I get 'dark' again next time, will I have to cleanse myself like this again?"

"That's right."

Bai Ye nodded with a smile.

The samurai immediately shivered.

He quickly said, "I will be careful from now on and will not be tainted by 'darkness' again."

"That's good."

Although the girl found Bai Ye's smile incredibly cute, the samurai's soul couldn't help but shudder.

As they continued forward, the samurai indeed became more cautious, only being infected by 'blackness' four or five times, and then being slashed by Bai Ye four or five times.

As they approached their destination, the samurai swallowed hard and asked Bai Ye, "When you take us back to Kazuya, things won't be like this along the way, right?"

Bai Ye smiled but said nothing.

"I'll still ask Lord Lady Guuji."

The samurai pointed forward.

Although it was still dark ahead, dozens of figures could be vaguely seen swaying in the distance.

"These are all our comrades-in-arms. At this moment, they are all drifting away."

Pain flashed in the samurai's eyes.

"It's alright, I'll get them out right away."

Bai Ye spotted the souls and then strands of silk appeared in her hand.

A talisman appeared in his hand, Bai Ye used her Adeptal Art to bind the silk threads. These souls couldn't be harmed by mere force; only Adeptal Art could restrain them.

Bai Ye prepared the silk threads and then aimed them at the corrupted souls.

"Write!"

With a soft shout, threads imbued with Adeptal Art shot towards the souls one by one.

At this moment, the corrupted souls finally reacted and tried to fight back with their weapons. However, because they had been corrupted by the 'darkness' for too long, their reaction speed and other abilities had decreased significantly. As soon as they picked up their swords, their entire souls were bound by threads.

The Adeptal Art activated, and all the souls were restricted.

Even at this moment, they did not give up resisting. A 'pitch black' aura began to surge from their bodies, trying to break free of the threads. But just then, Bai Ye's mechanical arm appeared above them.

As beings connected by blood, their arms also possess the ability to perfectly counter the Abyss. They directly and frantically slapped at these souls.

As the mechanical arms lashed out, the 'darkness' within their bodies gradually dissipated.

As the darkness gradually dissipated, Bai Ye once again used the powers of Huyrria and Zhongli. First, they conjured a pile of salt, and then constructed a huge salt house.

Bai Ye cut her skin open again, letting her blood stain the entire room.

"Now we can prevent you from being invaded by 'darkness' again."

Bai Ye realized that she had used up a lot of blood while entering the 'darkness'. If it weren't for Emet's power, she would have been dried up long ago.

If it were just Lady Guuji, it wouldn't be such a waste. But leaving these samurai here is something Bai Ye wouldn't do.

People who like him and treat him well are not only the Heavenly Principles and the Seven Executioners. The most ordinary people also feel the same way.

Bai Ye didn't want to disappoint anyone.

Only in this way can we be worthy of their sacrifices.

While using his power to heal himself, Bai Ye asked the samurai, "By the way, who is Lady Guuji?"

"Lord Lady Guuji is not here."

The samurai glanced at his colleagues, who were still in a state of confusion after just waking up, and immediately shook his head.

Upon hearing his words, Bai Ye's expression changed.

At that moment, he clearly sensed a dark figure rapidly approaching him from a distance.

Its speed was so fast that even Bai Ye couldn't react in time.

It's important to know that Lady Guuji is a match for the patriarch of the Tengu clan, who is known for his speed. Her speed is far beyond what Bai Ye can compare to.

Just as Bai Ye discovered the Lady Guuji, her figure was already in front of Bai Ye. At the same time, she was holding a long sword and swung it at Bai Ye.

Fortunately, at that moment, Bai Ye and Hagintos worked together to bring the mecha arm, which blocked Bai Ye and Lady Guuji.

It seemed that Lady Guuji also knew the danger; instead of making contact with the mecha arm, she retreated directly into the 'darkness'. However, Bai Ye could sense that the creature was still lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to launch another attack.

"Could she still be conscious?"

Bai Ye asked Hagintos.

"Probably not, it was just that guy's instinct. If she were a sane person, there's no way she would attack us. It's impossible based on your behavior or your face," Hagintos said to Bai Ye after a moment's thought.

"Is that guy's pure instinct really that swift?"

"Of course, according to what Yu Sanshi said, this Lady Guuji is a top-tier great demon who fought alongside Makoto and the others for a long time. Even though her strength and energy calculations are actually similar to yours, her ability to make temporary adjustments on the battlefield is far superior to yours."

The same force can have completely different effects in the hands of different people. The difference between experienced and inexperienced individuals is even greater.

How much real combat experience does Bai Ye have? Basically, he just bullies the treasure -Treasure Hoarders. Even in fierce battles, Zhongli is always there watching from behind.

No one wanted to give him the feeling of being in a desperate situation, the kind of extreme battle on the verge of death that Bai Ye had never experienced before.

"Indeed, I can't compare to her in terms of combat experience. However, I also have my strengths."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"That means my abilities are quite comprehensive. And I'm also intelligent."

After thinking for Bai Ye, Bai Ye picked up his longsword and charged towards the direction where the Lady Guuji was lurking.

"Since you, Lady Guuji, are left with only instinct, you won't miss this opportunity."

As Bai Ye charged forward, he chanted softly.

At the same time, Yang once again used Zhongli's power to build two lines of defense at his neck and heart.

"Hey, you're not going to fight her with swords, are you? Her samurai sword isn't stained with 'black,' it's a genuine yōken. You, you wouldn't be thinking..., Little Bai Ye, you really can be ruthless when you need to be!"

Hagintos was initially surprised by Bai Ye 'Bai Ye actions, but then instantly understood his intentions.

On the other side, seeing Bai Ye's amateurish attack methods, Lady Guuji rushed towards Bai Ye without thinking.

He swung his longsword straight at his heart.

Although it was just instinct at the moment, she knew that the only thing she could get close to was the longsword in her hand.

With a 'clang,' the longsword pierced the heart but didn't penetrate. At that moment, Bai Ye hadn't even reacted.

Lady Guuji quickly subdued the samurai and plunged the sword into Bai Ye's abdomen once more.

This time,

The long tube entered Bai Ye's abdomen very smoothly.

Instinctively, this should be Sheng Yang.

She subconsciously pulled out her long sleeve.

Next,

Fresh blood spurted out directly.

"Come on, let's see how you hide this time."

Bai Ye fully unleashed Emet's powers, constantly replenishing her life force, and spraying out blood in doses unimaginable to ordinary people.

It poured directly over Lady Guuji.

After doing all this, Bai Ye hurriedly sat down and covered his wound.

As the blood of the Bai Ye stained his soul, the darkness within Lady Guuji gradually disappeared, and his eyes regained their clarity.

She regained her senses.

I remembered everything that should be there.

Looking at Bai Ye, the samurai sword in his hand involuntarily fell to the ground.

"Do you have anything on you to stop the bleeding? I'll stop the bleeding for you right away."

Lady Guuji asked Bai Ye, who was sitting on the ground, in a panic.

I was at a loss.

The memory of what had just happened flashed through her mind, and she felt immense regret.

What have I done?

The handsome young man before me is only thirteen or fourteen, not even as tall as a samurai. At this age, he's not even old enough to go to the battlefield.

He's so adorable; he should be loved by everyone.

Yet he came into this 'darkness' and used his power to save all the trapped souls.

He used his blood to protect the warriors from the darkness, and then used his blood to awaken himself.

And what about me?

What did I do?

He plunged a needle deep into his abdomen.

If he hadn't saved her...

While Lady Guuji was still regretting his actions, Bai Ye had already sprung to his feet with a somersault.

"Miss Lady Guuji, you can reimburse me for the cost of this torn dress."

Bai Ye spoke to Lady Guuji with great vigor.

At the same time, she touched her stomach.

Looking at the exposed fair skin.

Lady Guuji was dumbfounded.

I was just starting to feel touched, and you stood up looking completely unharmed?

His eyes darted around, noticing that Bai Ye was wearing traditional Liyue clothing, and he said in a teasing tone:

"My benefactor, are you sure you only want me to compensate you for the clothes? Are you alright? Perhaps I could get a check-up?"

The way they address each other is a joke, but the fact that they're checking the body means they're serious.

Lady Guuji stepped forward and immediately brought its head close to Bai Ye's lower abdomen.
