It is magnificent under the moonlight.
"Please come in."
"Your Highness the Princess has been waiting for you for a long time."
……
With a hint of curiosity, Nanxing walked into the palace.
Fujiwara no Mokou also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Bayi Eirin.
"You can't go in."
She said gently.
But there was an unquestionable sense of command in his words.
That was a unique temperament that could only be developed by being in a superior position for many years, and Fujiwara no Mokou had no way to refute it.
"Please come with me."
She took Fujiwara no Mokou to another smaller house and provided her with shelter.
But then again.
“It feels very familiar!”
Although this woman didn't allow her to go in with Nanxing, Fujiwara Mohong felt very unhappy.
But feeling the quiet atmosphere in the courtyard and the old-fashioned hospitality etiquette displayed by this woman made Fujiwara no Mokou feel very cordial.
Fujiwara no Mokou, who was sitting on the tatami, drank and scratched her head, thinking for a long time.
Finally she remembered what this feeling that made her feel so close to him was all about:
"Hey, hey."
"Isn't this the etiquette of hospitality in my time?"
"It's been so many years, why are there still people sticking to such outdated things?"
Chapter 50 New Puzzle [Blade of Mercy]
"excuse me."
Following the guidance of Bayei Yonglin, Nanxing walked into the palace built with bamboo.
Then he saw it.
A young girl was kneeling in a very standard posture, welcoming his arrival.
This is undoubtedly a beautiful girl.
She has the most perfect facial features in the world, and skin as smooth as moonlight and as delicate as a baby's.
Her long black hair fell like a waterfall, casually floating on the wooden floor. Her pink skirt wrapped around her like a bunch of flowers surrounding her.
"What a beautiful girl."
Nanxing thought with a sigh.
to be frank.
He is not the type of man who judges people by appearance.
In addition, although he also likes beautiful girls, he believes that spiritual compatibility is more important.
——Take Platycodon grandiflorum for example.
Before this, Nanxing always believed that Kikyo was the most beautiful girl in the world.
But now, in front of the girl, his belief was slightly shaken.
"A woman can easily change people's perception just by her appearance."
"Who is she, a succubus?"
Nanxing complained silently in his heart.
Although this idea might be a little disrespectful, after such a complaint, his mood finally came out of that state of being amazed and he regained his previous calmness.
"No matter what, Kikyo is the most beautiful one."
"But now, getting medicine for her is also the most important thing."
"This girl is the princess that Senior Bayi mentioned, right?"
"She is the boss of this place?"
Nanxing's brain was spinning rapidly.
Based on reality, he quickly deduced a reasonable guess:
The extremely beautiful girl in front of him is the owner of this place, and also the "origin of all priestesses" as Kikyo told him.
"It seems that what Kikyo said back then wasn't too exaggerated?"
Looking at the beautiful girl with peerless beauty in front of him, Nanxing nodded.
"It's an honor to meet you, Princess."
He spoke very respectfully, even as if asking for advice from a senior.
——Today, he is no longer the naive ninja he used to be, and will no longer be deceived by simple appearances.
Especially after experiencing the double baptism of Fujiwara no Momoko and Emperor Inaba, she no longer regards appearance age as a very important matter.
After all, Fujiwara no Momoko, who was exactly the same size from head to toe, was 800 years old; and Emperor Inaba, who looked only six or seven years old, had to calculate her age in "ten thousand years".
Who can guarantee that this young-looking beautiful girl in front of you is not an old monster who has lived for thousands of years?
In addition, she seems to have the identity of "princess", which sounds very noble.
Regardless, it's always good to be respectful.
……
Nanxing greeted the girl very friendly.
But at the same time, what Nanxing didn't know was.
The attitude of this beautiful girl was not as friendly as his.
"Damn it, why is it like this again?"
She thought somewhat angrily.
But it's not her fault.
——Anyone who is sleeping soundly and is suddenly woken up by his or her guardian and asked to quickly dress up and prepare to receive guests will feel very uncomfortable.
But the girl didn't dare to blame Bayi Yonglin.
The other person is the person she respects the most, and is someone who "will never make a mistake."
Therefore, she could only vent her resentment for just waking up on the person in front of her who disturbed her sweet dream.
"Look, I'll think of a way to embarrass him!"
This was not a difficult thing for her.
The girl's eyes rolled and she instantly thought of a good idea.
She cleared her throat and said to Nanxing in a voice as sweet and melodious as a lark:
"I already know your intention."
——This is a lie.
She had no idea why Nanxing came.
The mysterious Bayei Eirin didn't tell her and just let her "express herself".
If that's the case, no matter what kind of trouble she gets into, it can't be her fault.
"But your sincerity still needs to be proven."
The girl continued.
Nanxing quickly leaned forward slightly and listened carefully to the girl's request.
"I heard that there is a magical knife in this world."
——Well, setting up a test right at the beginning is a common routine.
"It cannot kill people in this world, but it can kill things in the other world. It is a supreme sword that can only be mastered by people with a compassionate heart."
——Wait, this knife sounds familiar. Could it be the Tianshengya knife in Big Dog's hand?
"If you are truly sincere, please find that precious sword for me, and then I can get what you want."
- Hey, please hide your gloating smile a little. Your image as a princess has completely collapsed!
Nanxing kept complaining in his heart.
And along with that, the task reminder of [Find Tianshengya (A-level)] sounded.
Nanxing finally understood what kind of evil nature was hidden in the body of this seemingly beautiful princess.
——She never intended to live a good life!
……
Nanxing left.
Although it is difficult, he plans to give it a try for Kikyo.
Fujiwara no Mokou left with him.
In her words, it was to repay Nanxing for his "careful teaching".
The little rabbit was left here by Bayei Eirin.
There is no way that Yagi Yonglin would let go of a monster that could discover the secrets of the bamboo forest.
Fortunately, the little rabbit itself seems to enjoy the quiet environment here.
- Please, in this secret realm, there is no need to worry about attacks from other monsters. The entire bamboo forest is her playground. It's so cool!
At the same time, he looked at the backs of Nanxing and others as they left.
"He probably didn't come to propose to me, Eirin."
The beautiful princess, who had just had a bad attitude towards Nanxing, suddenly spoke.
She is not stupid.
I just don't like to use my brain.
Plus, my judgment was clouded by my bad mood when I woke up.
Now that I think about it, Nanxing's attitude towards her is not at all the kind of admiration a man has for a woman.
As for the girl's question, Bayei Eirin answered without hesitation:
"Yes."
"He just came to ask for medicine."
Unlike this princess who doesn't think about anything all day and just sleeps soundly.
Bayi Yonglin is the one who truly knows Nanxing's intention from the beginning to the end.
This is also the person Nanxing is really looking for.
"what?"
"Then why don't you just give him the medicine?"
"Why do you want to wake me up from my sleep?"
The girl glanced at Bayei Eirin, pouted her lips, and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.
She suspected that Bayei Eirin did it on purpose, wanting to disturb her late sleep.
But what she didn't expect was.
Bayei Eirin's idea was not just to disturb her late sleep.
