Yakumo Yukari realized that something was wrong with her mental state, so she quickly tried to motivate herself.

"Yakumo Yukari, you are a powerful youkai who has lived for so many years. What storms haven't you weathered? What grand scenes haven't you experienced? How can you be scared by a mere vegetable basket?!"

"I, Yakumo Yukari, will never yield!"

Five minutes later, Yakumo Yukari collapsed onto the shopping basket, her face flushed red, inwardly groaning, "My back is about to break!"

Yakumo Yukari couldn't wait any longer and decided to begin her most important plan: to find out Mo Yi's opinion on Gensokyo.

"Brother Yasuo— "

Yakumo Reimu said weakly:

"Why did I hear my two older sisters call you Mo Yi?"

Of course, you can't jump straight to the point right away, as that would arouse suspicion. The shrewd and calculating Yakumo Yukari wouldn't make such a basic mistake!

Mo Yi: "..."

Unexpectedly, the other party only asked now, but this small question is not difficult for Mo Yi.

"People from Brother Yasuo's hometown often have several names. Mo Yi and Yasuo are both my names."

"That sounds complicated—"

After a few seconds of silence, Yakumo Reimu asked again, her tone hesitant, "Brother Yasuo, are you human?"

"Hmm—, I'm just an ordinary human being."

Yukari Yakumo thought to herself, "The other person has finally caught up with my train of thought and hasn't gone off track."

"Brother Yasuo, you're so amazing, could you protect everyone—"

At this point, Xiao Hong started sobbing again and said:

"Everyone in the Human Village has always been harmed by monsters, and many people, like Father, have been eaten by monsters—"

"If Brother Yasuo is willing to protect everyone, we're willing to agree to any request."

"Xiao Hong... Xiao Hong is willing to be your wife, cook for you, and have your children."

Mo Yi: "..."

This heartfelt performance shows that Mo Yi, a kind-hearted person, is the least likely to refuse people.

Unfortunately, the person saying these words is the oppressor.

To be honest, Xiao Hong is quite pretty, but that's precisely why Mo Yi is even more certain that she's a youkai. In Gensokyo, all the good-looking people are youkai. Humans, who live hand to mouth, are busy surviving every day, so they don't have time to take care of their appearance and skin. This is one of the biggest flaws in her.

Her Highness the Princess: "..."

Damn you old hag, do you want to die?!

Anyway, Your Her Highness the Princess assume the other party is Yakumo Yukari. How dare she covet the treasure that Your Princess has her eye on? Doesn't she know who she is?!

Then the Her Highness the Princess thought to herself that she would ask Yonglin for some medicine that would make the other party reveal their true form.

Hmph, right here in the spotlight of the Duel King Tournament, we'll expose your true form and then spread out those photos of you hiding in the bushes!

I'll see if you'll still have the face to wander around in the future!

As expected of Princess, she easily accomplished what ordinary people couldn't. Even knowing that Xiao Hong was just acting, under the stimulation, she devised a series of moves within two seconds that would cause Yukari Yakumo's immediate social demise. What's even more terrifying is that the opponent really was Yukari Yakumo!

Your Her Highness the Princess: Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Princess treasures will be struck down by Princess Ruthless Iron Hand!

As for Alice, after hearing Xiao Hong's words, she felt inexplicably flustered for two seconds. Perhaps only Penglai, Shanghai, and Aili, who were flying beside her, saw the strange look that flashed in Alice's eyes during those two seconds.

Chapter 134, Alice's Arc 1.30: Mo Yi: "..." This shouldn't be. I clearly didn't make any mistakes today. Looking at Alice, she's obviously overjoyed, unlike her usual radiant, dark smile?! Could this be the cutscene for the perfect ending?! Yes, it must be! This is reality, not a scene from Scarlet Dream where you can rewind. Alice outside the door: 'Mo Yi, are you asleep?' Feeling a little uneasy, Mo Yi wanted to remain silent and pretend to be asleep, but this was Alice's territory, and she might have already seen that he 'wasn't asleep.' So, Mo Yi had no choice but to go open the door and see what Alice wanted so late. Upon opening the door, Mo Yi saw Alice wearing a blue nightgown, her face slightly flushed. "Alice, what brings you here so late?" "I... I have something important to tell you—" In the dim light, Alice's eyes shone brightly. Although a hint of shyness lingered on her face, her movements were decisive and efficient. As she spoke, she pressed herself against the door, slamming the door shut behind her, and whispered in Mo Yi's ear, "Let's go inside and talk—"

Chapter 247: Mo Yi: Humans have limits, Xiao Hong!

As a vulnerable victim of humanity, Yakumo Yukari, disguised as Yakumo Reimu, made a plea for help and a soul-searching question to Mo Yi, a powerful human being. This was her ultimate goal in getting close to him.

Only through this method can we find out Mo Yi's true thoughts about Gensokyo!

If the other party displays an attitude of righteous indignation, it means that if they stay in Gensokyo, they will become a major threat to the youkai race. This has nothing to do with personal preferences or any great grudges or special changes; it is the inevitable outcome of two opposing races reaching their final conclusion.

The difference is that in the past, people were not willing to go to the front lines to provide them with strong human warriors to fight against the epidemic.

Her actions can be described as despicable, but for the sake of the continuation of the race, this is a necessary evil!

She, Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari, had done this countless times.

Once it is confirmed that Mo Yi has become an enemy of the youkai race, Yakumo Yukari will do everything she can to drive him out of Gensokyo, or even kill him by backstabbing.

As for adding the line "Xiao Hong is willing to be your wife, cook for you, and have children" at the end, firstly, it increases the credibility of her character; secondly, the Xiao Hong she transformed into is quite good-looking, after all, she was transformed from herself, which enhances the persuasiveness. It's very difficult to persuade others purely with righteousness and reason without any benefit; thirdly, it's her wicked sense of humor. Since she has already been tricked by Mo Yi like this, how can she not find an opportunity to get revenge?

She saw right through Mo Yi's schemes to win over Houraisan Kaguya and Alice. By intervening, she might just ruin his plans and annoy him in the process—a truly brilliant move.

Since no one knows her true identity, either continuing to use this identity to get close to Mo Yi, or finding an opportunity to be 'eaten by a monster' and disappear, are both good options.

Of course, Yakumo Yukari was unaware that Mo Yi and the other two had all guessed each other's true identities.

Moreover, her actions directly aroused the hatred of Her Highness the Princess and Alice.

Alice was alright; she just kept the incident in mind.

Meanwhile, the Her Highness the Princess was already pondering how to eliminate this Xiao Hong that had suddenly appeared and wanted to steal a bite.

How dare you stand in front of Princess and say such shameless things! If I could tolerate this, my Princess wouldn't be full of bastards; instead, I'd be raising Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!

"Xiao Hong, your experience is truly pitiful—"

Hearing this, Mo Yi roughly guessed the imposter's purpose. If he assumed the imposter's identity was Yakumo Yukari, then the imposter's actions were perfectly logical.

The other party is probably testing me because of the Yuuka Kazami incident.

"But I refuse!"

Yakumo Reimu: "..."

Hearing Mo Yi's previous words, Yakumo Yukari felt a chill run down her spine. She thought to herself, "I should devise a plan to frame Mo Yi." But she didn't expect him to change his mind so quickly!

She should be happy right now, because Mo Yi's answer meant that he didn't intend to oppose Gensokyo. But when she heard "However, I refuse," she felt inexplicably annoyed, as if she had eaten the "Frenzied Taunt" of Skarner, and she wanted to say something Heart-ripping Hand to Mo Yi.
