Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

That charming and lovely look really makes it hard to look away.

Saigo stared at Youyouzi for a long while, then said, "...During the meal today, Miss Youyouzi revealed her thoughts."

"…Your desires are getting lower and lower, and you can only use gluttony to prove your existence."

"You are afraid that one day you will completely lose yourself and become a wandering undead. With your power to control death, Miss Youyouko, that would be a disaster."

"…So you didn't let Yakumo Yukari know that you once remembered being alive, and pretended not to understand that the demon buried under the west was your own body."

"Because you plan to dig your own grave before that day comes, thus welcoming your true death."

"...If Zi knew this, she would have given you a warning in advance and would not let you dig your own grave."

Youyouzi opened her cherry-like mouth and couldn't help but say: "...Your Excellency is really smart. You guessed my plan based on just a few words."

"...For a man as outstanding as you, I'm afraid I'll be tempted by you."

Saigyouji Yuyuko glanced at Saigo with a charming look in her eyes. The charm mixed with the coldness of the dead was like a warm breeze in winter, which was even more heart-warming.

"It doesn't matter whether Ms. Youyouzi is attracted to me or not, but I have a question for you."

Saigo said with a serious face.

"Oh? What do you want to ask?"

Youyouzi was a little curious.

"Today, Miss Youyouzi, you said that you often held banquets here, singing and dancing... How does it feel to dance on your own grave?"

Seeing Xixiang ask this question seriously, Youyouzi was dumbfounded. She blinked her cold eyes and said foolishly: "... dancing on your own grave?"

Chapter 28 Yakumo Yukari's Decision

Saigyouji Youyouko's beautiful eyes were gentle, and she was immediately amused by Saigo's words.

She giggled with her pale cherry lips lightly covered, her body shaking with laughter, and her graceful body under the kimono rose and fell, bringing a heart-stirring throbbing sensation.

After a long time, Saigyouji Youyouzi's laughter disappeared. Her voice had the coldness of a ghost, and the tranquility of a rich lady. She said softly: "...What Lord Zaratul said is really interesting."

Interesting... Saigo complained in his heart but didn't say much.

Seeing that Saigo didn't say anything, Youyouzi said with a hint of pleading: "...Zi's personality is just too suspicious."

"…If Queen Zi makes any mistake and neglects you again, I hope you will bear with me."

Saigo pondered for a moment and said, "...Although Zi has some personality problems, she is a smart person and I think she will not make mistakes again."

Hearing his words, Youyouzi sighed inwardly.

The general meaning of Saigo's words is that as long as Yakumo Yukari stops doing stupid things, he will naturally not cause trouble for "953" Yakumo Yukari.

But if Yakumo Yukari refuses to turn back and is still plotting, then he will not let her do whatever she wants.

Through this, Youyouzi had a general understanding of Saigo.

This is a man of strong will who will never give up once he sets his goal. It is almost impossible to change his way of thinking with words.

Seeing Saigo like this, Youyouzi was not angry, but just hoped in her heart that Zi would not do anything stupid again.

She felt that what Saigo said was right. With Zi's intelligence, she shouldn't do anything stupid, but smart people tend to be self-righteous.

Youyouzi criticized her good friend in her heart. She smiled and said, "...I met Mr. Zarat today. We can be considered friends now."

Saigo nodded slightly and smiled: "...Of course, Miss Youyouzi and I are now friends."

Youyouzi said gently, "... then Mr. Zaratul, please don't call me Miss Youyouzi. Just call me by my name."

Xi Xiang naturally would not refuse, he smiled and said: "... In return, I should also let Youyouzi call me by my name."

"…But I still prefer you to call me 'Sir'. I like this title."

The princess of the dead walked lightly to the westward monster. She looked up at the huge dry tree and laughed a few times at what Xixiang said: "...Mr. Zarat is really very interesting."

"…Mr. Zaratul came here today, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't prepare much. Although I asked Youmu to prepare a feast of fine wine and delicious food, I still felt that it lacked some sincerity."

"Mr. Zaratul, are you willing to let me dance for you?"

Saigo sneered and said, "...Youyouzi is so beautiful and lively, and the dance she performs must be very moving. I am naturally willing to do it."

Saigo took two steps forward while saying this, and sat down on the tablecloth covered by the grass, picking up a bottle of wine that he had not yet finished.

Saigyouji Yuyuko obviously expected that Saigo would not refuse. She was holding a folding fan and had already prepared the starting posture of the dance. Her voice came faintly: "...Then I will show you my ugliness."

Then, the undead princess seemed to remember something and suddenly chuckled and said, "...This can be considered as dancing on a grave."

As she finished speaking, she had already calmed down, and her graceful figure danced lightly under the withered Westward Journey Monster, accompanied by the faint sound of Japanese song.

As a ghost, Yuyuko Saigyouji has no weight. She steps on the tips of the green grass, dancing lightly and gracefully, like a flying dead soul butterfly, casting beautiful phosphorescent light.

Yuyuko Saigyouji is a ghost. To suit the occasion, shouldn't the BGM be "black people carrying a coffin"?

Saigo complained in his heart, and then he found that his mind seemed to become more agile and he had a sense of happiness, which was completely different from the deep and arrogant feeling in the past.

He pondered over his changes in his mind, and slowly came to an understanding.

Because in the past he held the spirit of the mother of the evil god, even as a human original, he could not completely resist the influence of the evil god.

Therefore, his behavior will be infinitely close to the root of "evil", and even his way of thinking is so deep that it brings a heavy sense of oppression to a person.

But after receiving a bit of power from the Mother of Good God, this situation of being completely dominated by evil was broken, and his active mind as a human being was aroused.

This made his mind more open and he no longer lived in extreme darkness.

This is a good thing. It does not turn Saigo into a saint. Instead, it makes his mind more agile and he no longer lives in deep calculations like in the past.

Simply put, Saigo felt the happiness that he liked.

Thinking of this, Saigo quickly collected his thoughts and looked at Youyouzi who was dancing. His wandering thoughts were a bit disrespectful to the dancer.

Youyouzi's graceful figure easily reminds people of Zhao Feiyan, who was as light as a swallow and could dance in the palm of her hand.

This is her advantage as a dead spirit, the ultimate beauty that no living person can achieve.

Saigo admired Yuyuko's dance and listened to the soft Japanese songs singing by her like those of the girls from the Jiangnan water towns.

The wine in the glass is not intoxicating, but I am already drunk.

……

At noon, Yakumo Yukari climbed up from the bed.

She covered her head with her hands. The feeling of being drunk was not good, but here with Youyouzi, it was a rare place where she could let go of her mind and get drunk.

She lifted the mattress and took a look at her body. Her clothes were intact and had not been taken off.

Yakumo Yukari laughed at herself, and inexplicably felt that the devil would violate her after she got drunk...

Shaking her head, Yakumo Yukari walked on the wooden floor with her pair of white and crystal clear feet. She was not wearing shoes, and her white and beautiful feet made a creaking sound as they stepped on the floor.

In the past, Yakumo Yukari liked to wear white stockings, but since they were torn by Saigo, she discovered that Saigo seemed to have a habit of tearing socks.

From then on, Yakumo Yukari stopped wearing it as if she was angry.

Walk out of this room with few decorations and come into the wide corridor.

There was no one in the corridor, and only Youyouko and Youmeng lived in this vast White Jade Building.

When she arrived at the entrance, Yakumo Yukari quickly noticed Saigo, who was sitting at the entrance with a wine bottle in his hand.

He looked at the flowing water and falling cherry blossoms in the courtyard, as if he was thinking about something.

After hesitating for a moment, Yakumo Yukari slowed down her pace and walked over, asking softly, "...Where's Youyouzi?"

Xi Xiang didn't turn around, but just smiled and asked: "...Are you worried about her?"

"Youyouzi is our best friend, of course we care about her."

"If you care, then why did you have to get drunk yesterday instead of protecting her?"

Saigo asked with a smile.

Yakumo Yukari gave Saigo a charming look, "...Even if we don't get drunk, can we protect Youyouzi?"

Saigo thought for a moment and shook his head, "...No, if I really want to do something, neither you nor Youyouzi can stop me."

"... Sit down, don't stand anymore."

Saigo patted his side.

Yakumo Yukari didn't hesitate and walked over and sat next to Saigo.

She still smelled of a hangover, but the smell was not unpleasant, and instead had the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms.

This guy, I always feel like there are some strange changes.

Yakumo Yukari whispered in her heart.

"Youyouzi went to sleep. Of course the undead have to sleep during the day, right?"

Saigo answered Yakumo Yukari's question with a smile.

Yakumo Yukari, who was sitting next to Saigo, used a folding fan to cover half of her face, with an elegant and noble temperament, "...You call Youyouzi so intimately."

There was still some tentativeness in her words.

However, Saigo naturally would not be angry about these cautious probings. He smiled and said, "...Yuyuko has a good personality, and of course she is likable."

"...Compared to a certain suspicious guy, I prefer Youyouko."

Yakumo Yukari curled her lips. She knew that Saigo was making fun of her openly and secretly.

"Zi, what's your plan?"

Saigo suddenly asked.

Yakumo Yukari took a deep breath, she was determined and said seriously: "...I have figured it out, I will help you, and do my best to help you!"

Chapter 29: Heading Beyond Gensokyo

Saigo just looked at Yakumo Yukari quietly. He didn't say anything, waiting for Yakumo Yukari's next words.

She pursed her moist cherry lips, and there was no confusion in her amethyst-like eyes. Her pair of white jade feet resting on the entrance were swaying gently.

Since the Yokai Sage has made up his mind, he will certainly take action with a swiftness and resolution beyond imagination.

As for the so-called hibernation and laziness, they are just the aftereffects of the dedication to Gensokyo.

Yakumo Yukari took a deep breath, turned her head to meet Saigo's eyes, and asked softly, "...I agree with your decision, but you have to tell me some specific problems."

"for example?"

Saigo asked with a faint smile.

"For example, why do you want everyone in this Gensokyo to agree with your ideas? With your power, it probably wouldn't be difficult to 'pack up' the entire Gensokyo and take it away."

Yakumo Yukari asked softly, this was also what confused her the most.

With the power shown by Saigo, he has such power that there is no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

This is also the reason why she had doubts about Saigo's proposal and even did stupid things.

"If you had asked me these earlier, I would have told you the truth and there would be no misunderstanding between us."

"…honesty and communication are the best way to understand each other. It is normal for you to have questions and doubts, but you choose not to communicate but blindly guess yourself, which ultimately brings bad results."

Saigo's words directly pointed out the flaws in Yakumo Yukari's character, which made the Youkai Sage smile helplessly.

She didn't refute and she couldn't refute because Saigo was right, suspicion was her biggest problem.

However, this suspicious character also allowed Yakumo Yukari to survive the twists and turns of her past life.

Because of suspicion, we won't be fooled or fall into traps easily, so no one can tell what is good or bad.

Well, that's not right. I was once taken advantage of by Bayi Yonglin and was plotted against by her.

Yakumo Yukari muttered to herself.

That was the dark history that she was most reluctant to face, but ever since the Saigo incident, the "hatred" with Bayi Eirin could only rank second.

After saying this, Saigo did not continue to beat around the bush with Yakumo Yukari, but told the truth:

"...The world I want to take you to is very special. I won't go into detail about the specific rules of that world, as that would be too lengthy."

"All you need to know is the observation of the small garden and the theory of 'three-dimensional cross-parallel world'."
