I'll give you this on behalf of Nianxi

Chapter 118 I'll give it to you on behalf of Nianxi (Seeking monthly votes, meow!)

Zhang Chen glanced at it, his pupils dilating.

[List of Yokai Included]

[Already included: Xuan Yin Yin Body]

When did Shen Nian District become a major district?

This guy is practically sitting at the same table as Lin Yinmeng. Did he cultivate some kind of evil magic to seduce her?

[6/7 of the previous encounter female demons have been collected]

"?"

Shen Nianxi, now in her larger size, walked forward on her own and reached into Zhang Chen's chest pocket to pull out the dozing mouse.

The next instant, Zhang Chen's disguise vanished, the surrounding atmosphere changed abruptly, and the two women behind him gasped softly, collapsing to the ground, their faces flushed...

Yueji paused for a moment, her lips twitched, and she stuffed the mouse back into Zhang Chen's hand.

"Uh, what's this...?"

"What's your name?" Tsukihime sat down without any ceremony, picked up the drink on the table, and took a big gulp.

Zhang Chen was puzzled when he saw her drink without hesitation.

No matter who it is, the first sip of this stuff will make them feel nauseous, even if it's the roasted fox in the house.

But the larger version of Shen Nianxi in front of her could still smack her lips.

"Zhang Chen".

"Moon Princess." Moon Princess nodded to him. "I am Lord Yuan You's maid in the Northern Border. I am no different from her in public."

"That ghost?"

"Yes, you could say that." Tsukihime handed him the empty cup. "Fill it up."

Little glutton.

Zhang Chen reluctantly filled her glass, feeling that something was off.

They remained silent as the mature woman drank, and Zhang Chen poured her more wine.

After a long while, Xiao and Su leaned against each other and dozed off. The only sound in the courtyard was the rabbit demon sweeping the ground with a bamboo broom.

"That's all." Zhang Chen finished pouring out the last drop.

"The wine is all gone, don't you have anything you want to ask me?" Tsukihime rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at him.

"Then, do ghosts have the ability to reproduce?"

'

""

Tsukihime narrowed her beautiful eyes, finding it hard not to show her disgust, but she still forced herself to suppress her contempt and said in a deep voice, "Ghosts naturally cannot reproduce."

"but..."

"But what?"

"Given your unprecedentedly strong aura, you generally disregard all reproductive barriers," Yueji analyzed, "including ghosts."

"Aren't ghosts incorporeal? How do they reproduce?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Some ghosts retain their bodies from when they were alive, and they can enter and exit the bodies."

"7

That's surveillance.

"Besides, spiritual communion is also a form of communication," Tsukihime said. "You really want to?"

"No, no, I'm just curious," Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, "Why do you look exactly like Shen Nianxi?"

"You can think of me as her older sister," Tsukihime said. "The probability of people looking alike is not small. Besides, when a demon transforms, its appearance is often a reflection of its inner self."

"I've come to advise you that yin and yang cannot be combined. She is of the yin nature, and you are of the yang nature. If you were to unite, one of you would surely die."

"To be precise, you will die."

Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow. So the real Shen Nianxi wanted him to leave Xixi Jiang and break up the couple.

They still threatened to kill themselves.

Moreover, Da Nianxi had already seen through his identity.

"The Xuan Yin body is the true spirit maiden born from the laws of heaven and earth, born to counterbalance you; you are mortal enemies."

Yueji's words were too somber, and Zhang Chen didn't like them.

"How about me and you? You two look alike. If the younger sister can't do it, the older sister can, right?" he joked.

Tsukihime's eyelashes trembled, and her vision became slightly disordered.

"My practice has resulted in me having no body temperature, which I imagine you'll find boring."

Shouldn't a normal person refuse and then call me a pervert?

Zhang Chen felt that Yue Ji wasn't rejecting him; perhaps the icy coolness had a unique flavor.

Tushan Hansu's feet were very cold, but the experience was actually not bad.

"If you really want her, then know your limits," Yueji sighed. "Don't go inside, don't cause a death."

"Why can't Yin and Yang be combined?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's fate," Yue Ji said. "Just like the fireflies, they are just dust in the world and shouldn't have life. By giving them life, you have defied fate."

"Therefore, although they are spirits and monsters, they are born invisible, born lovers, and born tragedies."

"This is the price of defying the will of Heaven."

"So, I created the Firefly Fairy?"

"Two thousand years ago, when you achieved a minor level of Dao, your thoughts reached the heavens. You abolished six of the seven emotions and six desires, and countless dust particles, influenced by your seven emotions and thoughts, were able to become spirits."

Tsukihime explained.

"From then on, you became cold-hearted, with only one emotion left out of your seven emotions, and your heart was filled with obsession, with no more attachments."

"Because you gave your affection to the fireflies, they are so attached to true human feelings."

"Wait a minute, Teacher Yue, I have a question," Zhang Chen raised his hand.

"explain."

"If I lose the seven emotions, then don't I still have the six desires?"

"...Love precedes desire; without love, desire will also disappear," Yueji said. "But now, it seems you are putting desire first, which is an exaggeration..."

"Is it really irreversible?" Zhang Chen asked again.

"No."

"Like... that little groom from earlier, he can no longer see the firefly spirit that accompanied him when he was a child, right?" Zhang Chen asked again.

Yueji frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Chen was being unreasonable. "Of course I can't see it."

"Even if they are not mortals, demons and cultivators can only see a speck of dust. In this world, apart from you, no one can see the Firefly Demon in human form forever..."

However, at that moment, a firework suddenly flew up into the night sky, which had been silent for a long time, and exploded.

"call out""

Looking up, after the fireworks faded, I saw the shape of a little girl vaguely appear in the sky, which eventually magnified into the girl's appearance and lingered for a long time.

"call out-

'

"Look," Zhang Chen pointed to the sky, "that way he can see it, right?"

Tsukihime looked up and could see that the fireworks in the sky looked very much like the bride from the couple who had just left.

In the dissipating fireworks, there was no smell of gunpowder, only the warm fragrance of dust released by the afternoon sun.

Therefore, it can be concluded that these fireworks are fireflies.

Although the firefly spirit can no longer see her beloved, she can still let her beloved see in this way that she has always been there.

She was slightly taken aback. "Yang Huo...you burned the Firefly? What's the difference between that and killing it?"

Zhang Chen took a small red mouse out of his pocket, tapped it, and the flame on the mouse's tail gradually disappeared.

He had wanted to take it out for a while; he wanted to keep the rat in his pocket to heat his testicles.

But Yueji interrupted him, and he was too embarrassed to take it out directly so as not to lose face.

"Rather than let it sacrifice itself and exchange its life for the luck brought by fate, I'd rather let it see this before it dies. That's what it wished for."

"Man can conquer nature. If the groom saw this, he will probably live his life more diligently."

"That's nothing but sophistry." Tsukihime continued to look to the right. "In the end, we are separated by life and death."

C

Zhang Chen countered, "I remember, the ghost of the Northern Border is called Yuan You, right?"

Tsukihime suddenly looked at him.

Zhang Chen had already guessed who the person in front of him was.

Tsukihime drank his yang energy drink, but he discovered that [self-control] could not control her in the slightest.

In other words, the other party is not a living being.

The person in front of me is a corpse.

However, the system was able to detect that the other party was one of the former Banshees.

Clearly, the ghost had taken up residence inside the corpse.

But why does this corpse look so much like Shen Nianxi?

"What, you want to see her?"

"Can't we meet?"

"No, your yang energy is too strong and will corrupt her, just like this firefly, separated by yin and yang."

"Then she can just find a corpse, right?"

"..." Yueji saw the amusement in Zhang Chen's eyes and knew that she had also exposed herself in front of Zhang Chen.

"Zhang Chen, this is the last time we'll see each other," she sighed. "I don't want you to see me."

Why?

"It's fate," Yueji said, pointing to the sky.

"The riddle teller will die very quickly, you'd better tell me clearly," Zhang Chen said.

Yue Ji gave him a deep look, and as she left, she stirred up a gust of cold wind without saying a word.

"Be nicer to Nianxi," she said.

Zhang Chen couldn't stop her, and no matter how he looked at her with his [Beast Eyes], he couldn't see the ghost inside her body.

Instead, I saw more things I shouldn't have seen.

It turns out that Xixi wasn't born with that feature; she just has strong manual dexterity and can remove it herself.

"Was the fireworks beautiful tonight?" Zhang Chen asked as she walked to the courtyard gate.

Yue Ji—or rather, Yuan You—stopped in her tracks.

"You said we would meet again in the fireworks," she suddenly said.

"What?"

"Nothing much, just mourning a deceased friend." Yuan You's figure vanished from Zhang Chen's sight like a ghost.

Zhang Chen's mind was racing, and he felt that this "predestined female demon" was different from the others.

She seemed indifferent, as if she didn't want any contact with him.

He looked at the firefly hopping around in the corner, then, as if struck by a thought, picked up the phone and called Shen Nianxi: "Um...what's up?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm at the hotel getting a haircut. I'll go to sleep after that; I have a lot to do tomorrow."

"Cut it clean, so I might want to try it anytime."

"Are you crazy? I said I wanted to get my bangs cut! What are you thinking?"

"Has anything happened in Ning'an lately? I'll help if I can," Zhang Chen said, changing the subject as he made small talk.

"Tsk, if you could just come and give me a beating, that would be the biggest favor you could do for me. Maybe I could even get a 17-day maternity leave."

But Shen Nianxi clearly didn't want to move.

"I'll think about it. So what have you been busy with?"

A sigh came from the phone, "There are just too many monsters coming from Ning'an, almost a tenth of the population. We can't manage them all. There are countless eyewitness accounts of monsters, and the company doesn't even have enough people to hypnotize them."

"There's only one teleportation array, and it takes half a day just to use it to send back monsters."

"Would it be better if there were more teleportation arrays?" Zhang Chen asked.

"How many are there in the entire Celestial Empire? It's not that easy to get more... Even two or three more would be a big deal."

1

Who built the teleportation array?

"The Heartless Taoist, most of them were built by him three hundred years ago, but some are quite old, like this teleportation array in Ning'an, which is about eighteen hundred years old." The sound of a razor buzzed from Shen Nianxi's direction.

"Okay, also, the guild hall has opened several more branches in Ning'an. Some are disguised as convenience stores, some are clinics, some are taverns, and there is one right in the Temple of the Matchmaker."

"So many have opened?" Shen Nianxi exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry, it's all your money being spent."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "You just take the money and don't do anything..."

"Isn't that what I'm doing?"

Did you *me*?

"Shen Nianxi, can you please stop using such foul language every day? You're a completely different person from the one I knew in high school."

"Zhang Chen, I really want to kill you," Shen Nianxi said through gritted teeth.

Then, the voice on the other end of the phone started to sound strange. Zhang Chen listened for a while, then reluctantly hung up the phone.

He turned around and saw Xiao and Su looking at him blankly.

"Uh... I accidentally clicked on the pop-up 'GG' icon, that's why I heard that sound on my phone," Zhang Chen argued. "I wasn't talking to anyone about anything perverted."

Xiao Shuyao remained expressionless, silently changing the number in the "beauty" line on her draft from 2.5 to 3.5.

It's worth mentioning that the 0.5 was Jiang Rou.

"Ahem..." Su Qinghe didn't like prying into other people's private lives, so she pressed him for details about Yingyao.

"Did you see the fireworks just now?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.

The two women nodded.

"That's it." Zhang Chen stood up and stuffed all the mice into his pocket. "The remaining Fireflies will witness the future wedding here, and perhaps some of their former playmates will be among them."

"If it's worth it, they'll set off a fireworks display and use their last breath to see their loved ones again."

"But we only met once..." Su Qinghe murmured.

Her view was the same as Da Nianxi's; neither of them thought this was a good ending.

"If you want something, you have to set it free first."

At this moment, Xiao Shuyao said, "If it comes back to you, then it belongs to you; if it doesn't come back, then you never had it at all."

"I think that's what Zhang Chen meant."

Su Qinghe was stunned, feeling as if there was something in the darkness, as if she had also waited like this.

"almost."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Actually, the reason why monsters' feelings are so sincere is simply because time is very short for them."

"When a person grows from a child into an adult, several years pass, but for a monster, only a few days have passed. They don't understand this, so they feel heartbroken."

"If we extend this period to several hundred years, the playmates that the Firefly originally thought she couldn't live without will become dispensable, and year after year, they will eventually disappear completely."

"An interesting point of view." Xiao Shuyao's eyes lit up. "Following you has definitely been rewarding."

"But I have to refute one of your points," she continued, "As far as I know, you probably have a yokai around you who have remained faithful until death for thousands of years, right?"

Zhang Chen paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, there is."

"Giggle giggle—"

A giant crow flew in from the sky, coming to take them back.

Before he knew it, it was late at night again. Time flies, Zhang Chen thought.

Time heals all wounds, but time itself has no healing power.

In the past, he may have naively believed that with time, those monsters might forget him and the relationship between humans and monsters would gradually improve.

No, on the contrary, it left behind many remnants.

Zhang Chen led the two women onto the crow's den, but he himself did not get on.

"Aren't you coming back with me?" Su Qinghe realized that she would feel extremely insecure if Zhang Chen wasn't there.

"Some people are too arrogant," Zhang Chen laughed, pulling another electric mouse from the crow's feathers and putting it in his pocket.

"Big Crow, did you see which way that bald guy ran off to?"

"Caw caw!" The crow pointed to the west.

"Okay, let's send them to the matchmaking agency for now. The dorms should be closed this late."

"Gurgle!"

"Knock knock".

"Nianxi, I have something very important to tell you..." Yueji pushed open the hotel room door and walked in, only to see Shen Nianxi hurriedly putting on her panties.

"What are you doing?"

"Haha..." Shen Nianxi quickly covered herself with the blanket, wriggling inside like a lizard.

A moment later, a tail, a small ball, two handcuffs, a pair of pantyhose, and a pair of cat ear headbands were thrown out of the blanket...

After wriggling for a while, Shen Nianxi poked her head out. "I thought it was him coming to find me... I didn't expect it to be you."

"...How do you know he likes cat demons?" Tsukihime picked up the tail and ears from the ground, her expression complicated.

"I remember him from when I used to see him working in the corners of the wood, but in modern times he should be called a catgirl, right?" Shen Nianxi said awkwardly.

"What the hell is this... the 'wood' from Japan?"

"It really is from Japan."

"The monsters of Fusang are all rather ugly, after all, appearance reflects the heart," said Tsukihime.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, he once went to Fusang, intending to educate some of the Fusang demons, but he couldn't stand how the demons and people there were blinded by evil spirits, so he gave up," Tsukihime recalled.

"The philandering Taoist priest, huh? I thought he was indiscriminate in his desires... Yueji, what do you want to tell me?"

"I need to discuss something with you," Yueji sighed. "Don't be angry, I'm only doing this for your own good."

"Sure, how could I be angry? You've helped me so much, we're good friends now, aren't we?" Shen Nianxi smiled.

"You can't do that kind of thing with him," Tsukihime said.

"Huh?" Shen Nianxi's smile froze. "Why?"

"Let me go first," Tsukihime said again.

"If he comes then, he will surely be blinded by lust and out of his mind. I look like you, so he won't recognize me. I will do it for you."

"Huh?!" Shen Nianxi jumped out of bed. "How could you do this! Such a painful thing, Yueji, I can do it myself!"

"I can't tell you the reason why," Yueji shook her head and said, "Don't worry, it makes no difference whether I come or you come."

"You can observe and learn from the balcony; consider it as accumulating experience."

"How can there be no difference! This won't do, no, no, no..."

Shen Nianxi shook her head like a rattle-drum. Coincidentally, she also wore pigtails tonight, originally to make it easier for Zhang Chen.

"Only this time, Nianxi, do I feel uneasy about him. He's never been an honest person, though I don't know why his personality has changed so drastically..."

Tsukihime sat on the bed. "Everything is in chaos. We must make some choices."

However, Shen Nianxi couldn't listen to anything. Her face was pale, and all she could think about was that she was going to be bullied, bullied by her closest friend to date...

Why?

"You've never even met him, how could you..."

"Nianxi, for your own good, I really can't tell you what's going on behind the scenes. This is the first time... maybe twice, three times, we'll see. After that, I'll leave on my own."

Shen Nianxi's worldview is being reshaped, and her gaze toward Yue Ji is filled with ill intent.

Although her relationship with Zhang Chen was not pure, she couldn't accept Zhang Chen being with other people.

"Tsukihime, no matter what, this is absolutely unacceptable. He and I both only want to give each other our first time."

"Furthermore, we've already exchanged them 0.5 times!"

"The first time... Nianxi, do you know how many people are behind him... sigh." Yueji sighed.

"Boom—"

'

Just then, a series of thunderclaps came from outside the window.

At the same time, the two felt something and looked out the window, only to see that the lightning came from hundreds of kilometers away... yet it could stretch all the way to the horizon of Ning'an.

The thunder wasn't scary; in fact, seeing it could even bring a warm feeling to your body.

After the lightning flashed, a fiery red light spread out, and though dusk had passed, a fiery sunset once again appeared.

"Yang Lei," Yue Ji murmured, her eyes wide.

"What kind of place is that?" Shen Nianxi clutched her lower abdomen, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Turning her head, she saw that Yueji was doing the same.

"He really has changed..." Tsukihime replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, recalling the person on the mountaintop that evening.

They've become more calculating and shameless, their former ruthlessness completely gone.

But... for some reason, I feel that he is more likable this way.

Perhaps, the passage of time has made her selfish, fantasizing that if even the most upright and righteous man could be so fierce as to risk everything for a woman...

"Ring ring ring—" Shen Nianxi's cell phone also went off with an alarm. It was the company's dedicated communication phone, and the urgent ringing indicated the highest level of security.

"Feed?"

"Huh? What... Okay, I'll be right there. Where did such a powerful rat come from..."

"Chen Tianhe was also hiding in the Buddhist sect? They burned it all?! That's a good thing... uh no, this is terrible..."

'

After hanging up the phone, Shen Nianxi couldn't suppress her smile. It wasn't until she saw Yue Ji that she realized this woman was trying to steal her man...

She suddenly became alert, puffing out her cheeks and remaining silent.

"I... I have to go to work the night shift," Shen Nianxi muttered. "You have to come with me, otherwise what if you two end up sleeping together when he actually comes later?"

Tsukihime:

'

""

"Nianxi, I shouldn't be your enemy."

"I don't consider you an enemy."

Shen Nianxi pouted and said, "But you can't do that. I'm not worried about others, but I know how he feels about me. You look just like me, and he might not be able to resist your temptation..."

Tsukihime gave a wry smile. "Let's go. What happened?"

Two little mice ran into the Buddhist temple.

As Shen Nianxi walked, she scrolled through her phone. "They... said they wanted to drink the incense, flowers, candles, and lamp oil of the Buddha, the same kind as in Journey to the West, and asked the Buddhist monks if they guaranteed it was ripe."

Tsukihime couldn't help but laugh out loud; this was the first truly content laugh she had had all day.

This is the first time in hundreds of years.

"and then?"

"Then... of course the monks ignored them, so one of them started discharging electricity and the other started setting fire, and they even destroyed the Buddhist sect's teleportation array."

""

"Hmm, destroying the teleportation array to block support, normal. And then what?"

"There are no casualties so far, but..."

"but?"

"However, those two rats could hit people. The young monk was slapped once, the senior monk was slapped three times, the abbot was slapped ten times, and the lame Buddhist disciple was slapped until his cultivation was completely destroyed..."

As Shen Nianxi spoke, she herself was a little dazed, as if she were reciting a foreign language.

Matchmaking agency.

"Go wash up and go to bed. Don't look at it. There's nothing interesting about thunder and fire."

"Oh, I'm sorry...you..." Su Qinghe put down her phone that was taking pictures.

"Just call me Han Su." Tu Shan Han Su looked at her. "Qing He, right?"

"Yes." Su Qinghe nodded respectfully.

Tu Shan Han Su nodded, then took out a bottle of almost solidified beverage from her bosom: "Midnight snack."
