An Interesting Honorific / This Is Qi Refining Slandering Nascent Soul Now
Upon seeing the photo of "[Xian Kui apologizes to visiting guests for serious negligence by the Immortal Sect Management Department]"...
Etzel and Cong Yu were spotted immediately.
"The King of Wind City's... envoy?"
The magical girl looked at the photo of Cong Yu on her phone with this question in mind, "Ah... I understand now."
Then, she stopped rushing and quietly took a sip of tea.
"I know you're in a hurry, but... I reckon there are two possibilities, and either way, you don't need to rush."
The magical girl spoke slowly and deliberately, "One possibility is that 'the Xian Kui Lord is behind this,' then you don't need to rush..."
"Because you're not going to be the first to stick your neck out. The Xian Kui is targeting the Metal element, so you, surnamed Zhao, don't need to worry. Just accept the arrangements from now on."
Is that so? It wasn't an accident after all...
Are they determined to get rid of that guy surnamed Jin? Then Xian Kui's plan to use someone else to do his dirty work is quite shrewd and far-sighted.
"Then... is there another possibility?"
In response to Zhao Anhua's question, the magical girl calmly put down her teacup. "Another possibility is that the 'Sun-Covering Heavenly Serpent, the Great Evil' orchestrated this matter for some reason."
As she said this, she stretched out her hand and casually pointed to Cong Yu in the photo. "That means China is doomed."
Zhao Anhua: "!!!"
Chapter 667 An Interesting Name
"The Prison-Han Evil-Slayer Great Lord... What is this?"
Etzel, sitting cross-legged on the library floor, leaning against the bookshelf behind her, asked this question.
Etzel, who was now obediently reading a book, looked very well-behaved, unlike her previous arrogance when she confronted dozens of magical girls and monsters all by herself.
It's as if the current turmoil in the outside world, the downfall and dismissal of many people, have nothing to do with her... but in fact, they really are unrelated.
If you don't want something to involve you, then the situation is none of your concern.
This is the free spirit of the Monster King.
The main reason Etzel wasn't angry was that her anger had subsided.
Cong Yu also told her that all of this was part of Xian Kui's plan... so Etzel turned her attention to Xian Kui.
She'll read for a while now; she's going to get the Xian Kui tomorrow.
Of course, I didn't kill him... After all, Xian Kui's attitude was quite good, and he didn't seem like trash.
Etzel has always been quite lenient with those who possess some ability.
Regarding Etzel's mention of "the Prison-Han Evil-Slayer Great Lord," Cong Yu hesitated for a moment before replying, "I guess... it refers to you."
As she spoke, Cong Yu, who didn't actually know much about it, explained, "In ancient China, the title for the Monster King or the Magical Girl King had a unique 'honorific name' form, which has been used to this day through the words and records of some old scholars."
"Similar to God, but not entirely the same... The main difference lies in the 'good' or 'bad' nature of its effects on humanity."
"..."
"Effect?"
Etzel asked this question.
"Yes, its function."
Cong Yu nodded as he spoke, resting his chin on his hand as he sat next to Etzel: "Should I call it pragmatism or straightforwardness?"
"Respect is something that comes in handy at certain times and that is beneficial to humanity."
"Those who are useless, or useful but whose attitude is not good, need to be treated with caution."
What I'm waiting for is "my lord".
"Those who are very unfriendly and threaten to kill others if they don't get along with someone are the 'evil' ones."
This explanation is straightforward and easy to understand, but the question is... what does the preceding part mean? How did Cong Yu know it referred to Etzel?
"What is that 'Prisoner's Punishment'?"
With an attitude of not being ashamed to ask questions, Etzel asked Cong Yu, who was stronger than her, "Do I have anything to do with Yu?"
No matter how you look at it, things like hell and calamity are all mythological concepts. What does it have to do with this alien?
Etzel remembered that she had never hidden her background, so why would the China people have such a misunderstanding?
Meanwhile, Cong Yu was looking at Takemikazuchi, who was sitting on the table to the side, his head resting on the table, absorbing knowledge in his dream.
At the same time, he explained to Etzel, "The 'Prisoner' means 'Star from Outer Space,' and 'Exterminate Calamity' is your purpose..."
"Although you only wanted revenge, you were still slaying magical beasts. But you're also someone who acts on a whim, so your title of 'Great Lord' is quite fitting."
"..."I see.
Etzel nodded, finding the China people quite amazing, and continued flipping through the book "Bestiary of Demon Gods" in her hands, turning a few pages.
Then I saw something...
Slightly taken aback, she broke into a mischievous grin and looked at Cong Yu: "Guess what I saw?"
Cong Yu: "???"
"What?"
In response to Cong Yu's question, Etzel chuckled and asked, "Guess what your 'honorable name' is?"
"..." Me? Ah...
When I officially became king, I didn't actually reveal much. So, I probably named myself after a place and some characteristic features, hmm...
This book must have been written at the beginning of this year or last year.
Cong Yu thought about it very seriously, feeling that everything she had done over the past few years made her seem like an incredibly good person.
He's the most kind-hearted weirdo!
The book will definitely only say good things about itself, so...
"The Wind-Piercing Bow-Robed Great Venerable?"
Cong Yu continued, but he seemed quite confident, nodding in satisfaction. "I feel it's about 80% similar, or Shengqing Great Venerable or something?"
Both "gongyi" and "shengqing" are elegant terms for snakes.
This refers to the so-called -- dwelling in the Wind City, the snake, and the good king.
Then he saw the book Etzel was holding up...
[The Sun-Covering Heavenly Serpent, the Great Evil]
I can understand the idea of a serpent that blocks out the sun.
Snakes covering the sky... or snakes so large they could cover the heavens, a very apt description.
But...
"Great Evil? Me?"
Cong Yu was shocked, looking somewhat incredulous. "Are you kidding me? I don't think I've done anything wrong... right?"
Then, Cong Yu witnessed the following events.
What, if you offend Vampire, you'll wipe Vampire out...?
What?! They massacred the American Magical Girl Association...
What dismantled the Japan political system and changed the landscape...?
What led the eccentrics to completely dominate Japan?
"..." How could this be? Did I do these things?!
This is slander! It's blatant slander!
Cong Yu was furious... but then she thought about it again and felt that something was wrong, because it seemed that she really was the one who did these things.
"Oh dear, this..."
Cong Yu coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and tried to justify himself. "My intentions were good, but I executed them poorly."
Huh? Should I say something like that in China?
Amidst Cong Yu's internal struggle, Etzel, perhaps tired of sitting, leaned back a bit, holding up her book. "This is really interesting."
"You can glean a lot about how humans view us from between the lines... but without Uncle Zhayu, we might need another edition this year."
"Miscellaneous Fish XX" is probably Etzel's nickname for other top players...
Uncle Minion = Carlos Mario.
As for Snow Woman, she's been called "Little Snow Girl" and "Cold-Blooded Little Snow Girl" before... These nicknames are basically whatever Etzel thought of.
The Sun King was a lowly mummy, or simply a mummy.
King Odin is a lowly old man.
The Rap King is a nobody... cough cough, those who know, know.
There used to be one called Cong Yu, but Etzel wasn't used much.
Furthermore, after Cong Yu joined the group, and her magical perception became increasingly outrageous, Etzel stopped calling her that.
"Oh my, what is this? It even has Xian Kui... and the records seem to be very detailed."
Etzel raised an eyebrow, realizing that much of the later parts of the book were about the Xian Kui, giving her a chance to observe their weaknesses.
However, that's the principle...
But if she wants to beat up Xian Kui, and needs to study his weaknesses, that seems a bit too much... I won't look.
"Cong Yu, you take a look, I won't..."
With that, Etzel handed the book to Cong Yu, then casually picked up another book to read, "I'm going to enjoy tomorrow's battle."
Enjoy the "unknown" part as well.
As for Xian Kui's life story, that's completely unimportant. What kind of person Xian Kui is, he'll be revealed in battle.
Just take your time to understand.
"They really do have the magnanimity of a strong person..."
Cong Yu spoke casually, then flipped through the book in her hand.
"..."
[A nice girl]
[What? What do you mean by "who's speaking"?!]
[That wretched Cong Yu!!!]
Chapter 668 Now Qi Refining is slandering Nascent Soul.
The leader, the leader... is the one who occupies the first place, the one who is stunningly talented, the one who suppresses the times.
And the Xian Kui is naturally the leader among immortals.
In other words, he is the most capable fighter in all of China.
Legend has it that Xian Kui's mother once dreamed of a blue dragon that plunged straight into her womb.
Choosing an auspicious day will bring good fortune.
How should I put it?
It looks fake at first glance.
Cong Yu could tell at a glance that this was pure fabrication, simply an endorsement of the legitimacy of the Xian Kui.
You can tell just by flipping through the book...
According to records, aside from the part about his parents being killed, Xian Kui's life was full of righteous indignation and punishing evil.
But at this moment, when Cong Yu looked at Xian Kui standing there, all she could sense was indifference.
