Conquered by You, Drinking the Poison You Hid Away

"Etc--"

Mo Yi interrupted him mercilessly, retorting:

"What sprang from the stone was a monkey, not Princess Kaguya. You've wandered onto another set!"

Her Highness the Princess heard this, she would cry.

"Haha, it's pretty much the same anyway, don't worry about the details—"

Kiana used her Moe Pass and continued:

"In short, it's about five simps pursuing Princess Kaguya, who grew from a little girl into a stunning beauty in just three months, and in the end, they ended up with nothing. I remember that Princess Kaguya ascended to heaven in the end."

Mo Yi: "..."

Although Kiana's description was full of flaws, Mo Yi found it surprisingly reasonable.

Despite the fact that the five suitors were local nobles in that era, and one of them was even the Emperor, in the mythology, Kaguya offered five treasures, but they couldn't produce a single one!

Kaguya, of course, ignored her completely and ascended directly.

In modern terms, this would be like a woman setting various conditions during a blind date, such as her family being rich, earning a hundred million a year, preferably being an only child, and not liking to control her.

If the man doesn't meet the requirements, the woman will simply ignore him and "fly away".

If it's about groveling and fawning?

The ancients also gave an ending: like the five suitors, some died, some never returned, and some lost their families. Even the emperor gave up the Elixir of Immortality because of this. Doesn't this illustrate the simple truth that "a simp who licks his boots ends up with nothing"?

While it's true that the thinking of the ancients was certainly inferior to that of modern people, this principle was already woven into stories hundreds of years ago.

Unlike the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in Shenzhou, how did the Cowherd manage to win the Weaver Girl's heart?

It's just that you once stole someone's clothes while they were taking a bath, and then saw them naked, so that you can't marry anyone but me.

In modern times, the Cowherd's behavior would be considered lewd. He doesn't actually like the Weaver Girl; he's clearly lusting after her body and morally blackmailing her.

In modern times, such behavior would probably be considered a minimum of three years!

Of course, the ancients also used myths and legends to illustrate this point. In the end, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the Queen Mother of the West and could only meet once a year.

Of course, this year refers to the Cowherd, since in Shenzhou mythology, one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth.

In other words, the Weaver Girl was someone you could see every day, just like modern women who go to work during the day and go home to spend the night.

As for the male prostitute, he was punished with imprisonment without a wife, with one day of visiting time in prison each year.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West must have felt wronged. She was clearly upholding justice, yet she was misunderstood for so many years, becoming a well-known dark history.

Having received professional training, Mo Yi suppressed his laughter and urge to retort, and said, "Her Highness the Princess is Princess Kaguya from another world—"

Then, Mo Yi explained the official settings of Houraisan Kaguya, but out of consideration for the other party, he didn't mention much about her later degeneration into a "dried fish girl" (a Japanese term for a woman who becomes a lazy, unattractive girl).

P. S.: The scenes in the mini-drama do not affect the main story. Since this is the Mei Chapter, the main character will definitely be Mei (Yae Sakura needs Mei's body and consent to appear in reality), and all of this is part of Miss Mei's plan.

Episode 71, Mei Chapter 1.16: Then, Mo Yi heard Yae Sakura tell a story with a strong Makoto Shinkai vibe (artistic embellishment). Finally, Mo Yi looked at Yae Sakura leaning against him with great suspicion, inwardly thinking, "Could I really have a past life? Hearing her say that, Mo Yi even thinks it's true. And the world I was in in my past life doesn't seem to be Honkai World like the Honkai Impact 3rd world, where beautiful girls fight zombies; it's a world of youthful romance and healing." "Is it getting dark?" Mo Yi looked at the sky outside; it was almost dark. Based on his previous experiences, he was about to wake up from his dream. "It's okay—" Yae Sakura's face was pressed against Mo Yi's neck, letting Mo Yi feel the heat of her face, and she whispered, "You can stay tonight—"

Chapter 181: Conquered by You Just Like That, Drinking the Poison You Hidden

As Mo Yi spoke of the Her Highness the Princess, everyone held their breath, because Princess Kaguya and the like were always figures from mythology. As everyone knows, there is no Chang'e on Mount Moon, but now it is suddenly said that Chang'e actually exists, and that others are just sitting on the ground on the moon.

When talking about Kaguya, Mo Yi also gave a brief introduction to the setting of Gensokyo, making his words sound more like a fictional fantasy world.

Reisen, who was simply sitting there eating voraciously, was already the best preparation.

Kiana suddenly noticed something interesting and reached out to ask:

"Mo Yi, you said that Her Highness the Princess is Princess Kaguya from another world, doesn't that mean she's already hundreds of years old?"

"Is she as beautiful as she is in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter?"

Miss Mei gave Kiana another thumbs up. After saying so much, what she really wanted to know was whether Kiana was really as beautiful as the legends said, since Kiana's beauty had been praised for hundreds of years.

Hmm, is she prettier than Mei? As cute as Theresa? Does she have a better figure than Kiana?

This is the key point!

"Um (⊙o⊙)... Her Highness the Princess should be over a thousand years old—"

When asked by a girl if other girls are pretty, even Mo Yi knew that this was a difficult question to answer.

After all, loving beauty is human nature, and every pretty girl feels that she is no less beautiful than others!

Mo Yi thought for a moment, then said somewhat vaguely:

"As for whether she is as beautiful as the legends say, it's really hard to say. After all, everyone's aesthetic standards are different, just like Westerners think that all Easterners look the same."

Mo Yi first set out the conditions, and then continued:

"Personally, I think she's really good-looking. How should I put it? It's not a matter of whether she's pretty or not, but rather that she's truly special—"

Miss Mei: "..."

Doesn't that kind of tone prove that the other person is really good-looking?

Damn it (>皿<), yet another hidden big boss!

Just as Mo Yi was at a loss for words, Reisen, who had consumed the specially prepared dishes cooked over a low flame, finally experienced the effects of the medicine.

In fact, most people who eat a dish cooked over a low flame for the first time will start telling their stories after just a few bites. Reisen's ability to begin her veteran's memoirs only after eating a whole table of food is thanks to the drug resistance she developed from testing medicine on Yagokoro Eirin in the past!

Yagokoro Eirin is one of the most skilled pharmacists in Gensokyo, or rather, in the world where Gensokyo is located. With Kaguya's help, she can even create the Elixir of Immortality (Hōrai Elixir). It can be said that her medicine has effects that involve the rules of the universe.

"Waaah—"

"Although I am very capable—"

Reisen took a bite of a tonkatsu hamburger, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears. She muttered to herself, "But I'm just a little Moon Rabbit. I always have to shoulder more than half of the miscellaneous tasks at Eientei, take care of the Her Highness the Princess, and test medicine for my master..."

"Sometimes I feel very tired and want to stop and rest for a while."

"..."

Reisen's veteran memoirs were clearly more interesting than Mo Yi's retelling, and everyone quickly focused their attention on Reisen, from whom they obtained information about the Her Highness the Princess Reisen.

Immediately, the impression of the Moon Princess that had been formed because of Mo Yi's words was quickly replaced by the image of the NEET Princess described by Reisen as being childish, willful, otaku, and having a wicked sense of humor.
