The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

As night falls, the brightly lit city looks lively and full of monsters of all shapes and sizes.

Yes, this is a city of monsters.

This large northern city was used as a headquarters after it was captured by monsters earlier. The whole city exuded abnormal vitality and did not become dilapidated due to the invasion of monsters.

On the contrary, because humans were completely expelled, the monsters here made this city that only belongs to monsters more prosperous.

Unlike the previous wars for revenge and fear, this time the monsters did not destroy the city itself, and even repaired many necessary facilities.

Humans would be surprised if they saw this, because apart from their identities as monsters, the street vendors, the street guards, and the patrolling guards all performed the same social behaviors as humans.

In the noisy city, monsters are spontaneously making way for a passage in the crowded streets.

"Master Lan, you are back."

"Master Lan, thank you for your hard work."

"Master Blue"

Walking through the noisy streets, the monsters around her looked at her in awe. Her name was Yakumo Blue, and she had beautiful blond hair. The key was that she had nine tails behind her that symbolized power and status.

The nine-tailed fox is an extremely powerful race among monsters. However, the reason why monsters fear her is not this. Just because her name is Yakumo Ai, and just because she is the shikigami of the monster sage Yakumo Murasaki.

This is the main reason why monsters respect her.

After walking through the busy streets, we arrived at the castle tower in the center of the city, and happened to meet Suixiang coming out of it.

"Lord Suixiang." Yakumo Lan lowered her head. Although her master was more powerful than the ghost king in front of her, as a shikigami, she must maintain the necessary humility.

"Oh, it's Lan. I haven't seen you for a day. Where have you been?"

"Master Zi has told me something that requires me to go out, but Suixiang, what are you...?" Yakumo Lan looked at Suixiang with a strange expression on his forehead.

No one knows how strong the ghost clan's physical fitness is. It would take a lot of effort to put such a big red mark on the forehead of the ghost clan's ghost king.

"Uh, hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I accidentally hit the corner of the table."

"."

"By the way, Lan, I have something to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

"that is."

After cautiously looking left and right to make sure there was no one around, Cuixiang mysteriously waved to Lan, gesturing her to come closer: "Hey, Lan, you know, the thing about Zi."

"Master Zi?" Yakumo Lan was really confused. She had no idea what Suixiang was referring to.

"There are only two of us here, stop pretending, it's the one -" Cuixiang poked Lan with her arm and said, "Zi, is she dad or mom?"

".Huh?" After hearing these irrelevant words, Yakumo's blue eyes were straightened. This is nothing to do with anything.

"Sure enough, he is the father. Judging from his character analysis, he must be like this." Before Lan could answer, Cuixiang began to make random guesses, and then wondered: "But how do girls give birth to children? The power of realm Can even this be manipulated?”

Although she had long known that Cuixiang's character was quite out of character, this was the first time she heard such an out of character topic.

"blue----!!"

Purple's furious voice came from the castle tower, presumably because he felt the aura of his own shikigami at the door.

"Hug, I'm sorry, Master Cuixiang, Master Zi is calling me." Lan, who was a little dizzy due to Cuixiang, quickly threw away those messy thoughts when he heard Zi's voice.

In Suixiang's disappointed eyes, Lan hurriedly entered the castle tower and trotted all the way to the top floor, only to see Zi, who was originally emotionless, turned red with anger.

"Master Murasaki? What happened?" He had never seen his master so angry. Even Lan, who had been following Yakumo Murasaki for a long time, was panicked for a moment.

Staring at a pair of big eyes that seemed to want to eat people, Yakumo Purple said angrily: "Lan, you go and think of a solution right away, we are going to send a letter to Kyoto!"

"Believe it, believe it?" Yakumo Lan was stunned when he heard this, and asked timidly: "Is it a letter of challenge?"

As soon as these words came out, Yakumo Purple came up and pulled Lan's cheek and began to ravage her hard: "Blue - you idiot! Is your brain stuffed with fried tofu?!"

"Uh-gu, yes, I'm sorry...!" Lan, whose face was so painful, apologized quickly.

"snort."

Ziyi, who was still angry, let go of Lan's face. After calming down her anger a little, she handed Lan a sealed letter and said, "We have something to ask Yuuko. You go and find a way to send this to Kyoto."

"May I ask Yuko-sama?" Lan took the letter and touched his torn-out pie face in grievance. After hearing Zi's request, he thought about it and said, "This is not difficult. Just find a human and give it to him. The next hint will deliver the message for us."

"Okay, but I don't worry. You can handle this matter yourself. We have already set a seal. All you need to do is deliver the letter to Yuuko."

When talking about Yuko, Zi seemed to calm down a lot. She specifically said: "Be careful to be more discreet and don't cause unnecessary trouble for Yuko."

"Don't worry, I will hint to the human to send the letter to a post station outside Kyoto, and I will not ask him to enter Kyoto."

"That's good."

After finishing Zi's order, she returned to the sulking look she had at the beginning. She shouldn't talk too much, but she was really curious, so she couldn't help but ask, "Master Zi, what happened?"

"Huh?" Zi gave Lan a sharp look, and then stepped forward to ravage her face: "Why are you asking so much! Still! No! Hurry up! Hurry up! Go! Do! Work!"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Lord Zi...!"

After finally escaping from Zi's clutches, Lan hurriedly left the castle tower again, unexpectedly, Cuixiang was still waiting outside and did not leave.

"Master Cuixiang." Although she was a little ashamed with a pair of big red faces, Lan still went up to say hello honestly.

"Hey, have you been scolded?" Cuixiang showed no surprise at all, as if everything was expected.

"Yes," Lan Zhizhi whimpered, "Master Zi seems to be in a bad mood today."

Cuixiang hummed, nodded, and said in a serious manner: "I think so, after all, it is related to my child."

"child?"

As if hearing some strange vocabulary, Lan tilted her head, not quite understanding what Cuixiang meant.

"Actually, I don't understand it very well. In other words, we don't seem to understand much about this aspect. A sage is indeed a sage, and he has more experience than us."

I smacked my lips there, as if feeling something, then Cuixiang patted Lan on the shoulder again, and said earnestly: "Probably, this is the so-called motherhood."
