The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

Patting Wu Ye's shoulder boldly, Meihong looked extremely enthusiastic. Although Wu Ye, as the beneficiary, shouldn't say much, but in a sense he was quite embarrassed.

Under normal circumstances, Meihong is not so enthusiastic about people. She is better at thinking alone and doesn't like to cause trouble for others.

But in fact she is a kind person.

Usually, Meihong is responsible for the security of Renzhili, but it is security. When there are no powerful monsters invading, her job is usually to take out the humans who have strayed into the bamboo forest.

Among people, no, in Gensokyo, there are only three people who can make Meihong treat her specially. One of them is Huiyin. The red place is probably the temple house.

Then the other one is Wu Ye, the reason is very simple, that is, in Meihong's view, although Wu Ye is not from Penglai, but he is very similar to Penglai people, and also belongs to the category of "immortality".

Probably because of the sympathy for the same kind, Meihong has taken special care of Wu Ye since she was a child. At one time, she abducted Wu Ye from the shrine as a younger brother, and asked Wu Ye to call her "big sister".

Although this title was later abandoned because Wu Ye grew up with a sense of shame, but this does not hinder the relationship between the two.

Compared with ordinary friends, it should be more like, siblings?

Anyway, because of such an inexplicable relationship, the relationship between Wu Ye and Mei Hong has always been very good.

Then there was the last person who was treated specially by Meihong. Little was known about that person, even Wu Ye. Even Huiyin kept silent about it, whose name was unclear. The kind where you have to fight to the death when you meet.

However, because Meihong will not die, this statement is generally not accurate...

Well, in short, this can be regarded as special treatment in another sense.

"So, did you hear Huiyin say that the prisoner is in this bamboo forest?"

Hearing Wu Ye's explanation, Meihong asked with strange eyes.

"Teacher Huiyin said, 'Even if you don't, you can know more important information'."

Wu Ye repeated Huiyin's words, and then looked at Meihong strangely.

"By the way, Meihong, so you live in the Lost Bamboo Forest?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"No... I always thought you lived with Teacher Huiyin."

"Ahem, what are you talking about!"

He slapped Wu Ye hard on the head, and an abnormal blush appeared on Mei Hong's face.

"I have my own home, why should I live with Huiyin, idiot!"

"Speak well, don't do anything casually, barbaric..."

While rubbing the back of his aching head, Wu Ye complained in a low voice, thanks to Meihong who knew the severity of the attack, otherwise Wu Ye would have "come home" now.

"So, do you have any clues, after all, you live here."

"...Well, probably, anyway, you come with me first."

The weird blush on her face faded, and Mei Hong's expression became a little unnatural.

"If Huiyin said that someone who may know the news lives here, I think it's just that guy."

Chapter 22 The Past of Penglai People

"So, sister, do you really know anything?"

"Ah."

Nodding with a gloomy face, the hatred on Meihong's face was a level of strength that even Wu could clearly feel.

"That, sister red."

Subconsciously swallowing saliva to calm down the uneasiness in his heart, Wu also tried to ask:

"So, that 'guy' you're talking about is the one you've always hated, that guy?"

"...It would be more appropriate to replace 'hate' with 'hate'."

She made a cold joke, and even though Meihong wanted to be kind, all she could do at the moment was mechanically pick up the corners of her mouth and make a smile that was uglier than crying.

"is it?"

Wu Ye sensibly didn't ask any more questions. He would listen to some things that Meihong wanted to talk about, and if he didn't want to talk about them, he didn't want to talk too much.

"...That person also lives in the Lost Bamboo Forest."

After walking forward in silence for a long time, Meihong spoke in a low voice.

"In the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a huge house. There seem to be three or four people living in it. They probably aren't human beings, and there are rabbit monsters. Oh, yes, the rabbits here are all them. Captive pets."

"Eh, that's it."

"I didn't even know she lived here at first."

Looking up at the full moon that was liberated from the cover of the bamboo leaves and gradually became brighter, Meihong said in a very contradictory tone, which seemed to be hatred and hope:

"Suddenly one day I was in a daze in the bamboo forest. When I came back to my senses, I found that guy's figure..."

"and then?"
