Chapter 686 - 26: Demon Cherry Blossom Tree (Part 2)

Somehow returning to the seat opposite, the golden-haired monster maiden picked up the spell scroll the crow tengu had just inspected. After flipping through it a few times, her expression became quite odd, and after holding back for a moment, she seemed unsure of how to comment on Gu Mo’s actions.In the end, she could only use a word learned from the other, filled with depth and meaning.

—"Are you a devil?"

Yakumo Zi put down the spell scroll, looking at Gu Mo with a strange gaze. Although she couldn’t quite understand the various intricacies, one thing was certain: this person was definitely plotting something, laying many traps within.

After all, even as she looked at it, she couldn’t help but feel a sudden heartache, and even just browsing and selecting, she could feel a magic power so captivating and irresistible, as if sinking into it forever.

Almost suspecting...

Was some sort of charm technique cast on this?

"Fortunately, fortunately, as even a lion fighting a rabbit must go all out, I just hope everything goes smoothly..." said the young man opposite modestly, chuckling lightly a few times, as after all, he was facing girls from the non-human world who couldn’t be judged with common sense.

Thus, he was entirely unafraid of being too forceful, but rather feared not exerting enough to catch their interest immediately.

Just right now, this is perfect, causing an extraordinary impact on those who have never encountered such things, without any immunity or resistance formed, enough for him to take the lead voice—this is the effect he wants! If he doesn’t act, he must go all out when he does!

"Forget it, I have nothing more to say... but acting like this, aren’t you at a loss?"

Yakumo Zi twitched her lips a few times, gathering great will to put down the spell scroll reluctantly, then looked at the direction the crow tengu left, speaking softly with some regret: "Their information isn’t worth so much, others simply don’t want to hear..."

Basically, no one wants to pay much attention, the tengus can’t even find someone to share gossip with, and now, right after Aya Shameimaru exchanged a mountain of exaggerated gossip news, pompously took away so many novel things, making her heart ache a bit too.

Such a waste!

"Not at a loss, not at a loss, it didn’t take me much effort, and buying horse bones for a thousand pounds counts as a strong publicity point..." Gu Mo said calmly, flicking the scroll lightly, "Moreover, the tengus’ information gathering ability is indeed impressive."

"There’s no telling how many rumors there are, they’re fond of exaggeration..."

Yakumo Zi sighed.

"Says what you will, but the information needs a prototype, right? Once you remove the artistic processing elements, it’s all quite useful information..." Gu Mo laughed with confidence, pushing the spell scroll or magic terminal forward, "Look, I found quite a lot of interesting things..."

"How do you know it’s true?"

The monster maiden lightly furrowed her brow, interrupting him: "How will you distinguish their embellishments?"

"My ability is recognizing lies, this isn’t difficult for me, otherwise why else would Zi think I listed intelligence as an important trade item?" Gu Mo laughed heartily, confident he’d never do anything he wasn’t sure about.

"Ability is lie detection..." Yakumo Zi raised an eyebrow. "But I remember you said earlier that your ability was imaginary realization, right?"

So was he lying before? Somehow, the monster maiden felt quite furious, glaring at him with beautiful eyes full of anger.

"What? Did I say something like that?"

The young man opposite paused, then casually waved his hand: "But it doesn’t matter, my abilities include both imaginary realization and lie detection..."

"Wait! Shouldn’t a person only have one ability?" Yakumo Zi interrupted this guy again.

"How could it be..." Gu Mo chuckled; his gaze turning subtly evasive, "This isn’t Academy City..."

"..."

"..."

The air suddenly grew a bit quiet, the monster maiden glared at him angrily without speaking.

"Cough, cough, alright, alright, don’t mind those details, Zi look at this information, it’s about a demon cherry blossom..." Gu Mo lightly coughed, changing the topic directly, tapping on the spell scroll, "I’m quite interested in this cherry blossom tree, want to go have a look right now."

......

...

A silent rift tore open in the air.

A graceful figure in a luxurious dress exited, followed by a young Daoist and a silver-haired maiden in slightly gothic lolita dress.

A single step was thousands of miles away...

Gu Mo looked at the giant cherry blossom tree appearing under the night sky, feeling emotional about the efficiency. The spatial movement method, indeed, Zi’s gaps were too convenient, making him quite envious.

Surely, he must quickly grasp similar movement methods.

Better before the bloodline enhancement of his main body is complete... Taking Tima’s example, the Divine Body struggles to leave the ground, flying becoming very tough. — Suddenly recalled this, his expression turned somewhat nuanced and peculiar, almost forgetting this detail.

But what does this mean... Is the price of invincibility, not flying?

"You said this demon tree... is this one?" Arriving first under the giant cherry blossom tree, golden hair lightly swaying in the night breeze, the monster maiden restrained her earlier sentiments, gazing severely at the cherry blossom tree, expression becoming somewhat grave.

Demon Tree, or simply a demon.

Probably because the season has passed, the cherry blossom tree was silently unblossomed, seeming nothing special, yet incredibly strong Demonic Power quietly dormant in the earth vein, almost as if sleeping...

"Such strong power, this demon cherry blossom is no simple thing..."

Gu Mo approached Yakumo Zi, examining the giant cherry blossom tree up and down, and softly exclaimed.

"Another Kazami Yuuka..."

Yakumo Zi unfolded a fan, gently shielding the lower half of her face, murmuring.

"Hmm?"

Gu Mo looked at her with slight astonishment, isn’t this evaluation a bit too much?

"The demonic power is too strong, and the abilities could be extremely frightening..." The monster maiden shook her head lightly, speaking with gravity, "Yet this hasn’t fully formed, already reaching this state, if it steps forward, becoming the second Kazami Yuuka, I wouldn’t be surprised."

She could see more, this tree—saturated with intense realm of death.

A very dangerous ability, likely indiscriminately killing powers...

With such powerful abilities as compensation, even if the immensely strong demonic power isn’t quite on par with the one in the Sunflower Field, it sufficiently bridges the gap between the two.

"I’ve got a headache now, I thought it’d be a nice gift..." Gu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, his sudden interest in this demon cherry blossom naturally having a reason.

Due to differing world flow rates, though several years had passed in this dungeon world in a blink, it wasn’t necessarily so in other Dungeon Worlds.

On the Nioh World’s side, it happened that Ah Xiu sisters’ birthday was approaching... not only did the father-in-law want to make up for the daughters’ first proper birthday celebration after years of separation, he himself wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to offer some compensation for the previous "Fox’s Marriage".

The aspect of gifts naturally requires careful thought.

Considering their first encounter was under a cherry blossom tree, he planned to transplant this very beautiful and gigantic demon cherry blossom back... but now it seems he’s been presumptuous.

"Gift?" the silver-haired maiden beside him asked in confusion.

"Indeed, cherry blossom tree holds special meaning, I want to gift it to someone very important..." Gu Mo considered under the night sky, this amazingly majestic demon cherry blossom, somewhat regretfully sighed, "Yet, it seems this thing is too dangerous, she probably wouldn’t like this gift."

"..."

"..."

The air slightly quieted.

"Hmm? Be careful!"

Just then, Gu Mo raised his eyebrows, instinctively stepping back, shielding the two: "Did you feel it? The temperature suddenly dropped, this tree might be about to act..."

This must be the fluctuation of death aura.

This demon cherry blossom has likely become sentient.
