Inside the shop.

The otaku youth with glasses enthusiastically took out several other copies of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" for Su Ziyu to read. At present, there are quite a few comic books published under the pseudonym of Aoandon, but the protagonists are all some famous big monsters. The ones the otaku is holding in his hand now are "Nine-Tailed Fox Arc", "Kyuubi Arc", "Snow Woman Arc", and "Shuten Douji Arc". Among them, the worst selling one is the Shuten Douji Arc, probably because the protagonist of the comic is a man.

After learning from his mistakes, Aoandon began to focus on drawing comic versions of female monsters.

"Huh?"

"You look a bit like the toad spirit in the movie about Snow Woman!... That big toad who's very funny and loves gambling. His name after he turns into a human seems to be Shota Inoshita!..." The otaku then turned his attention to the fat man next to him.

At the beginning, the comic was in Su Ziyu's hands. He thought he had found someone who shared the same interests with him, and all his attention was on Su Ziyu.

Hearing the other party's words, the fat man next to him broke out in a cold sweat.

Su Ziyu squinted her eyes slightly and looked at him, then glanced at the comic book that the otaku had opened, and nodded, "They do look alike."

Jingxia Shouta wiped the sweat off his face nervously and whispered, "That toad spirit isn't a bad guy. At most, he just likes to gamble."

"Yeah. But that guy is quite lustful." The otaku said with a smile: "He actually dared to spy on the snow girl bathing."

"I didn't expect to be frozen into a lump of ice."

The fat man's cold sweat broke out even more violently, and he glanced at Su Ziyu beside him with a guilty look.

"Let's go." Su Ziyu stood up and said.

He casually returned the comic in his hand to the otaku and asked, "Where is the comic book store?"

"Over there." The otaku looked very happy and said happily, "Do you want to buy it? There is a discount today!"

Missionary success.

This otaku had a very happy face. He believed that as long as the sales of the comics were good enough, perhaps teacher Keiko Aoyuki would draw the book faster.

"Come with me." Su Ziyu glanced at Shota Jingxia beside him and said.

This toad spirit was still somewhat savvy. He quickly paid the bill and followed us. However, he felt a little guilty and scared, and cold sweat kept pouring down his forehead.

"Do you have money?" Su Ziyu asked after walking out of the shop.

"Yes... yes!..." Shota Inoshita quickly took out a handful of Japanese yen and handed it over.

"Yeah." Su Ziyu snapped his fingers and threw a gold coin into the other person's hand, then walked towards the comic book store on the other side of the street.

It seems that Qingxuande is not just drawing comics to kill time.

When Su Ziyu was reading these comics, the outline of "Hyaku Monogatari" suddenly emerged in his mind. He felt that Aoandon might be making trouble, and the part that was just a hobby and entertainment was probably only half of it.

There were quite a few people in the comic book store.

Keiko Aoyuki's comic book is placed in the most conspicuous position. It seems that the sales are quite good and a lot of them have been sold.

"Give me a copy of all of Keiko Aogyuki's comics." Su Ziyu said to the store owner.

Comics in hand.

Su Ziyu flipped through it carefully and was sure that the Aoki no Ton manga was definitely related to Hyakumonogatari, because the characters and monsters that appeared in it, including the guest appearance of Ampere Haruaki, all looked 70% similar to the real person.

"Half Monogatari hasn't been completed yet?"

"Or does Qingxuande want to collect something with the help of comics?" Su Ziyu said to himself.

Then, he put away the comic book in front of him, turned his head to look at the obedient Shota Inoshita next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Have you seen the Aoandon?"

"Ah?" Jingxia Shouta was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "I have had the honor of meeting Master Qingxuande several times before."

really.

Su Ziyu immediately said, "Take me to see her."

Upon hearing this, Jingxia Shouta broke out in a cold sweat and whispered, "Master Qingxuande doesn't like to be disturbed."

The person next to me is quite cruel.

However, Qingxuande was also notorious among the monsters, and he felt that he was almost doomed.

"It's okay." Su Ziyu raised a mocking smile and said slowly, "I just happened to have something to ask her."

"Let's talk."

Damn it.

Is this an itchy skin?

Su Ziyu felt that he needed to find Qing Xingdeng and have a good talk.

"yes."

"Please follow me." Shota Inoshita thought about it seriously, and between being in trouble now and possibly being in trouble later, he decisively chose the latter.

He went out, hailed a taxi, and quickly gave an address.

"Going to Akihabara?" The taxi driver was a woman in her thirties with short hair, strong and capable. A few tattoos could be seen on her exposed forearms, but she had covered them well.

After Su Ziyu sat on the taxi, he felt something and looked up at the taxi driver's back.

——"Spiritual Vision."

In Su Ziyu's sight, there were two spiritual cats sitting on the shoulders of the taxi driver, one black and one white. When Su Ziyu saw them, they also saw Su Ziyu and meowed softly and obediently.

This is a cat spirit.

A very weak guardian spirit.

It is said that if a cat that is treated well until its end of life is grateful, it may turn into such a guardian spirit after death, and follow its owner until the owner dies and enters the underworld.

This type of guardian spirit does not have any particularly powerful abilities.

I guess it means that when the owner encounters wandering ghosts in the middle of the night, it can help scare them away or protect the owner from harm.

When facing monsters, this kind of guardian spirit is useless.

In essence, they are similar to the animal spirits of the druids. If there is any fortuitous encounter, they might be lucky enough to turn into a kind-hearted cat-shaped monster, which would be a more powerful monster.

"The gap between the two dimensions is really huge." Su Ziyu said to himself.

As he withdrew the effect of his spiritual vision, the figures of the two cat spirits, one black and one white, gradually disappeared.

In the dimension of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, even in modern civilized society, there are still many supernatural beings, and some ordinary people may be accompanied by such spirits.

The taxi driver was quite talkative and chatted with Shota Inoshita about many things along the way.

He also talked about some supernatural events that he encountered while driving.

Because she drives the night shift.

Su Ziyu listened silently all the way and gave a little extra tip after getting off the car. The other party didn't hesitate but just thanked him softly.

A woman in her thirties working as a night shift taxi driver must have a story.

"grown ups."

"Lord Aoandon lives in front." Shota Inoshita said cautiously.

There is an upscale residential area ahead.

Within Su Ziyu's sight was a small Western-style building with exquisite decoration. There were also some flowers, plants and trees planted outside. It seemed that Qingxuandeng knew how to enjoy life.

"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "You can go now."

Upon hearing this, Shota Inoshita felt like he had been pardoned and quickly turned around and ran away.

We can't afford to offend these two, so we'd better get out of here as soon as possible.

——"Qingxingju."

When Su Ziyu came to the small western-style building, he saw a small sign in front of the door. On it was a trace of magic power left by a green lantern. If an ordinary monster approached, it would naturally be scared away.

"Array?"

As Su Ziyu pushed the door open, the scene in front of him changed automatically. The original small Western-style building turned into a green bamboo forest, and right in front of him was a emerald green bamboo house that looked like a world of calligraphy and painting.

phantom?

No! It's a bit like a world in a painting.

"It seems that Qingxuandeng's strength has improved a lot in the past thousand years." A ray of light flashed in Su Ziyu's eyes, and he closed his eyes and sensed the illusion space in front of him.

——"Psionic teleportation."

Su Ziyu was too lazy to pay attention to the things in the illusion. He took a step forward and returned to the real world.

at this time.

He was already standing in the small courtyard outside.

"Stop now!"

"This is the residence of Master Qingxuandeng. No one is allowed to enter without his permission!"

On both sides of the small courtyard, the lanterns that were originally just decorations suddenly lit up, and then a wisp of mist emerged, and two maids wearing white ghost face masks appeared in Su Ziyu's sight.

Qingxuande has many such maids under his command.

"Don't you know me?" Su Ziyu frowned slightly. It seemed that these maids with ghost faces should have been subdued within a thousand years.

The two maids wearing white ghost masks looked at each other, and directly blocked Su Ziyu's way, saying in a stern voice: "You are not allowed to enter! Leave immediately!"

"Is Qingxingdeng not at home?" Su Ziyu frowned.

Looks like he's not there.

Otherwise, there would definitely not be only two maids with ghost faces showing up.

——"Mental suggestion!"

Su Ziyu looked at the two ghost girls in front of him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I am a friend of Master Qingxuande."

"Let me in."

The words fell.

The two maids wearing white ghost masks looked dazed for a moment, then retreated into the light. Before disappearing, they said respectfully, "Please come in, sir."

Su Ziyu smiled and pushed the door open.

Qingxuandeng's residence is decorated in the style of an ordinary small villa. There is a spiral gilded staircase in the center of the hall. Facing it is a large row of soft sofas covered with pillows and some miscellaneous snacks and fruits. There is a room on each side, one with a piano and the other with a guzheng. It looks like they haven't been moved in a long time.

There were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, most of which were of pavilions, towers, mountains and flowing water. The most eye-catching was a poem, which turned out to be Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".

"There are so many snacks here." Su Ziyu picked up a bag of shrimp crackers, took a look at it, then tore it open and took a bite.

A bit salty.

He got up and went to the second floor. Qingxuandeng's boudoir should be on the right. Su Ziyu did not go in and went directly to the second room on the left.

This is the study.

When Su Ziyu pushed the door open, he saw a large number of drawings and a pile of waste paper thrown in the trash can.

He picked up a drawing and took a look. Sure enough, it showed the outline of Kiyohime, but without any clothes. Only about one-third of the drawing was completed. It seemed that Qingxuande had to interrupt his painting for something and left in a hurry.

"Huh?"

"Is it still locked?" Su Ziyu looked down at the locked drawer in front of him.

Just a snap of the fingers.

The drawer in front of him was shaken open, and then Su Ziyu took out a large stack of original paintings. Most of the main characters were Guhuo Birds, which seemed to be nearly finished works. They were basically wearing only a little bit of clothing, and their postures were slender and beautiful, a bit like the style of body art. Su Ziyu flipped to the bottom and saw the original painting of the Snow Girl, but that was nothing. What really shocked Su Ziyu was the original painting at the bottom.

"this!……"

"Is this Yama?..." Su Ziyu clicked his tongue and looked up and down at the original painting of Yama in front of him.

Qingxuande still wants her dog head. The original painting of Yama just shows her wearing less and looking more interesting, not clean and tidy. There is only this original painting at the bottom, and it seems that she doesn't dare to do anything wrong.

Don't want the lamp anymore?

A spark ignited from Su Ziyu's fingertips, directly burning the drawings.

The Qinglan Lantern is not here.

She must have been out for a while.

Su Ziyu walked around the study and saw the drafts of the ghost girl Hongye, which seemed to be some of the characters she planned to draw next.

The next room has a wardrobe and shoe cabinet.

Su Ziyu raised her hand and opened the wardrobe to take a look. The wardrobe on the left contained kimonos, the wardrobe on the right contained modern clothes, and the shoe cabinet contained mostly high heels. She seemed to prefer blue-green, and many of her clothes were similar colors.

The third floor is quite special.

The decoration is in the classical Japanese style, with many wooden cabinets and a pool in the center. In the pool there are two pieces of jade, one black and one white. There are some strange things placed around it.

"This should be the center of the formation."

Su Ziyu took a casual look and did not destroy anything inside.

Hyakumonogatari is not here.

Qingxuande should be carrying it with her, and Su Ziyu wants to see what she is going to do.

Go back to the first floor.

Su Ziyu casually lay down on the sofa, stretched out his hand to take an orange, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

But just as he was flipping through the channels out of boredom.

Suddenly.

A slight snort was heard from outside, followed by a cold female voice: "I've only been away for a few days, and a rat dared to run into my house?"

Su Ziyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stood up and said: "The mouse is not so brave."

"You should say, it's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar."

Huh?

A puzzled female voice was heard from outside, followed by wisps of blue ghost fire appearing. After all, more than a thousand years had passed. Qing Xingdeng hesitated for a moment before he recognized who the owner of the voice was.

But then her voice became gloating.

"Qingji~!" Qingxuandeng's voice was very mischievous, with a hint of malice, and he dragged the ending tone hatefully, and said with a smile: "The man you have been waiting for for more than a thousand years."

"He seems to be inside!"

A moment.

Su Ziyu was a little panicked.

Originally, he came here to find Qing Xingdeng to question him, but when he heard what the other party said, he became inexplicably panicked.

Su Ziyu stood there, gritted his teeth, and finally walked out with his head held high.

"Qingji...please listen to my explanation!..."

Su Ziyu was stunned when he walked out of the room. Then he frowned and glared at Qingxuandeng who was smiling sweetly and looking mischievous not far away. He cursed angrily: "Fuck!"

"How dare you tease me!..."

There was no trace of Qingji outside.

There was only a beautiful girl in kimono sitting on a bright blue lamp, with a look of despair on her face.

Crackling.

A faint golden arc flashed across the sky, and Su Ziyu's figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, Qing Xingdeng's face changed, and he quickly begged for mercy, "Master Su!"

"This is a misunderstanding! I was just joking!..."

"ah!……"
