Home Really Is Best / A Dancing Meeting

Thinking this, Cong Yu drank the tea in one gulp, watching as Xian Kui also picked up his teacup to "see the guest off"...

This guy looks just like me from hundreds of years ago.

However, he cared even more about the "common people" than himself.

"You really don't have a name, do you?"

Cong Yu asked this question, and after Xian Kui nodded, she suggested, "Just to commemorate the deceased, how about naming it after the moon from now on? Ah... just a joke, you don't need to take it seriously."

"..."

"Alright."

Yue Xiankui responded in this way.

--

Source Darkness Apophis: Ah, this...

I thought I could have multiple hosts (sad face)

Chapter 412 Home is still the best

"Waaaaah, Yaochuan Guang..."

While saying this,

Cong Yu buried her head in Yaochuan Guang's arms, saying, "I'm exhausted from this trip, sob sob--"

"..."

"Huh? Eh?"

Yaochuan Guang asked in a confused voice, looking helplessly at Cong Yu lying on her lap. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui, who were standing nearby, were also somewhat surprised.

I've always seen Yaochuan Guang or the others take the initiative to get close to Cong Yu, but this is the first time Cong Yu has taken the initiative to get close to her.

"Huh? Weren't you going to solve the Vampire problem? And also help me get rid of Fate's pursuit."

Hong said this, then looked at the message on her phone with distress. "But you also said it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause, and told me to take the Doctor's 'Fake Death Series' pills for the next few years... What's going on?"

"..."

"Sigh... it involves a lot of things, and some strange people."

Cong Yu, lying on Yaochuan Guang's lap and watching him blink as he stroked her hair, said, "After going out for a while, I found that people outside are more extreme than the last... Guang 'Yaochuan Guang mother is still the best."

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yaochuan Guang's face immediately turned red. "Eh? Mom... why Mom?"

Are there really people in this world who treat high school girls like their mothers?

Yaochuan Guang thought to himself.

In fact, they certainly exist, but they are already protecting the beach.

What did you say? You guys are saying there are even stranger people who aren't satisfied with just high school girls (JKs), and even treat little girls like mothers.

Damn it, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak!

Axis! Lower your power!

Seeing Yaochuan Guang's shyness, Xiao Cui immediately giggled and cheered, "Yaochuan's mom! Yaochuan's mom!"

As Xiao Cui spoke, Yaochuan Guang gestured wildly, becoming increasingly embarrassed. "Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Lantian Zhu, standing to the side, remained calm, but her eyes held a smile... and of course, curiosity.

Everyone present was curious.

What happened to Cong Yu these past two days? Why did Hong's luck return to normal? Why did he complain about being exhausted as soon as he got back?

And she even complained about some "strange person."

That's a long story.

As Cong Yu spoke, she lay quietly on Yaochuan Guang's lap, her long, smooth, black hair cascading over her lap and the sofa.

Yaochuan Guang was thoroughly enjoying touching it, to the point of not being able to put it down... It was very smooth, very shiny, and cool to the touch.

Do you want to hear the long version or the short version?

Upon hearing Cong Yu's question, Xiao Cui immediately raised her hand. "What's the long version? What's the short version?"

Amid Xiao Cui's questioning, Cong Yu sat up and, seeing Yaochuan Guang's regretful expression, coughed lightly. "The short ones can be explained in a few words, but the long ones... well, I'll have to start from when we were in Mexico."

But today is Saturday, so everyone has plenty of time to listen to the story of "Chang"...

So, Cong Yu started rambling on about what had happened recently, including many things that Hong already knew.

During the process, Cong Yu tried her best to set aside her own subjective opinions and gave the three strange women a complete account of the situation.

Yes, a strange woman.

Given Cong Yu's personality and his own biases, it's hard for him to say that killing someone, keeping a cat, or being afraid to have sex is wrong... what really bothers him is that he's unhappy.

So let's just call it "strange".

Cong Yu's narration didn't follow his perceived timeline; otherwise, none of the four magical girls would have understood it.

As for who this "one" is, Cong Yu couldn't say.

(Yaochuan Guang:???)

Cong Yu spoke directly from the perspective of Moerae's followers, explaining what they had done before talking about her own experiences with Vampire, and then introducing the story of Xian Kui.

She has a clear and logical structure and is a very good storyteller.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as an artist who draws comics... though he still can't compare to a literary worker who writes novels! Hahaha!

As she listened to the end, Xiao Cui blinked. Hearing those phrases about "all living beings," "the decline of humanity," "the mundane world," and "washing away the superficialities," she felt... quite good.

"Wow, that's what a man should be like."

Xiao Cui uttered a phrase in China that she had seen in a book, and Cong Yu naturally followed up. "He can be replaced... you idiot!"

As he said this, Cong Yu delivered a chop to Xiao Cui's head.

"Ugh--"

Amidst Xiao Cui's adorable cries of pain as she clutched her head, Cong Yu gently tapped her head with his knuckles. "So much for 'a true man should act like this,' you want to just watch us die, don't you?"

Xiao Cui pouted at Cong Yu's words, "That's not what I meant... Waaah, I know I was wrong--"

Seeing the pitiful Xiao Cui, Yaochuan Guang covered his mouth and laughed, then pleaded for her, "The child doesn't know any better and is just talking nonsense. Cong Yu- chan, please don't hit her anymore. If you hit her any more, she'll become stupid... Hitting her head will make her dumber."

Cong Yu withdrew her hand in response to Yaochuan Guang's words, while Lantian Zhu's merciless retort arrived as expected, "Some people who haven't been hit on the head aren't exactly smart either..."

Yaochuan Guang: "!!!"

Yaochuan Guang, his mouth agape in shock, felt very...

Wounded, she looked at Lantian Zhu in disbelief. "Slander! It's all slander! Little Lan, you're defaming me!"

Lantian Zhu looked away and delivered the fatal blow to Yaochuan Guang: "I never said who 'some people' were, did I?"

"..."

"Quack! I can no longer allow Little Lan to exist in this hopeful world! A million horsepower of power, Shining Tickle!"

Having made this declaration, Yaochuan Guang immediately stretched out his hand and began to grope Lantian Zhu, delivering the Demon King's Punishment!

"Guahahaha! Hahaha!! Little Guang, stop! Hikaru, Little Guang! Hahaha... I was wrong, I was just a kid and didn't know any better."

Watching the farce unfold before her, Cong Yu, amused, lazily leaned back on the sofa... It's so nice to stay at home.

Hong, however, was focused on Cong Yu's statement. While eating buckwheat biscuits that she was no longer allergic to for some reason, she said, "You said Ms. Lin was beaten up by your friend Carlos... and then what? He killed her?"

Cong Yu shook his head at Hong's words, resting his chin on his hand. "She can't be killed... at least Carlos Mario can't kill her."

"Lin took Carlos to find the remaining Moerae followers. After that, Carlos wanted her to stay in Mexico and participate in the country's reconstruction."

Hong nodded in agreement, indicating that she understood.

"The classic redemption scene."

Regarding Hong's assessment, Cong Yu reached for a buckwheat biscuit as well. "On one hand... on the other hand, it's the only way we can understand God."

The continued existence of Evil God like Moerae is not good for anyone.

One day, the Cong Yu will offer it the twilight.

What? They've crossed over into a pantheon?

It's alright, King Odin won't mind.

Chapter 413 Flying Meeting

On the moonlit beach, every grain of sand and the ocean-like stream reflect beautiful colors.

And this is where Yaochuan Guang's second personality resides.

(Black Yaochuan:...)

Okay, it's not a second personality, but rather a materialization of memories from the Monster era... a product formed in its current form.

And this is not something like the depths of the soul, although it could indeed be described as the "deepest parts of the soul."

But to put it simply, this is --

Palace.

Everything Yaochuan Guang experienced, the friendships and bonds she built, restrained her from understanding what "Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle" really meant.

Hmm, Monster Tongue -- Gurgling Gurgling (Light Night)

Although Little Shadow said it was actually [Gu-Muru↑Hugu! Lu! Guru--], it's clear that you can't expect any creature other than Monster to understand such a Monster language.

And at this very moment, an uninvited guest arrived on this beach—

A deep, dark mass.

It's not the silhouette black of a Monster, nor is it a layer with something missing... This black is gradient, and you can perceive the darkest part in the center.

It was a thick, black fog.

"..." Sitting on the reef, Black Yaochuan looked at the mist drifting in from afar and quickly discerned the other party's identity.

"The extinction of this world... huh?"

Just as Black Yaochuan had said, the black mist quickly spoke, "[The essence and original heart of the Demon Monster King... is that right?]"

It's called a sound, but it's not really a sound.

The black mist has neither a mouth nor vocal cords; the "sounds" it makes, from a conventional perspective, are actually more like words.

It is written language, which cannot be seen or heard by the ears, but can be "heard" by the heart and consciousness.

This is not a sound, but something more "symbolic".

After explaining their identities to each other, the two "accessories" met at this moment... Of course, it was the black mist that took the initiative to sneak in.

While Cong Yu and Yaochuan Guang were fast asleep in each other's arms, it took advantage of the moment when the two were snuggling together to sneak into Yaochuan Guang's "temple".

"..." Black Yaochuan didn't speak, she just didn't understand why the other party came in... She knew that Yaochuan Guang had never had the possibility of becoming her host from the very beginning.

Different "This World's Extinction Formula" have strict requirements for the host.

Not just anyone can become its host, or even a candidate for host.

When the environment for survival changes, the Extinction Formula can no longer even remain in the original host body, which has been completely altered.

The darkness at the source is a solitary thing.

If you're suggesting that Yaochuan Guang might turn to the dark side, then perhaps there's some truth to that. But to say that Yaochuan Guang would be so lonely as to qualify as the host of Source Darkness is a stretch.

Those who think this way are probably so intelligent that they should aspire to be like Yaochuan Guang.

Then, the moment the Extinction Formula was uttered, it was enough to make people lose their composure—

[Demon King, you're utterly useless.]

Black Yaochuan: "???"
