"Clank —"
Eight-cloud Ink placed her hands flat on the zither, and the melodious zither music suddenly stopped.
"Higashikawa Bing Li?"
Bing Li didn't answer. She fainted after saying those words due to her serious injuries.
"Mo! Who is she? "
Ashina, who was listening to the zither music quietly beside Eight-cloud Ink, frowned and squatted down to check on Bing Li's condition.
"What a serious injury!"
"Ashina, bring her. We'll go to Eight-cloud Senior."
Eight-cloud Ink put away the zither and stood up with a wave of her sleeves.

The smell of incense lingered in the quiet ward.
Eight-cloud Yonglin was slightly relieved after treating the last wound on Bing Li's body.
"What's wrong with this monster? She's so seriously injured … "
Eight-cloud Yonglin looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a questioning gaze.
Not only Eight-cloud Yonglin, but Purple and Blue, as well as Kaguya and the others from the Forever Pavilion, also looked over.
"Speaking of which, this happened when we were in Halkkinia. At that time, a half-elf friend of mine called Tifania summoned this monster as a familiar to that world. "
"In exchange for doing something for her, I obtained the Devil's Familiar Seal from this Snow Maiden. Now it seems that something happened, and she came to ask for help. "
"I see …" Purple turned to look at the unconscious Bing Li. "This monster … is the Snow Lady?"
"Yes."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
Then, Eight-cloud Ink described the situation of the Snow Lady's world that she still vaguely remembered.
After listening to Eight-cloud Ink's description, the girls were all interested.
"There's actually such a world? Monsters have fallen to the point where they need to rely on 'Fear' and 'Hundred Demon Parade' to give birth to a Great Monster? "
Of course, the people present were no stranger to Fear and 'Hundred Demon Parade'.
Purple closed her folding fan and gently tapped her palm. She closed her amethyst-like eyes and shook her head.
Great Demon was the name given to the strongest combat power among demons.
In the past, the birth of great demons depended entirely on their own strength.
Whether it was Violet or Delicate Fragrance, they were all powerful Great Monsters. Their strength had even exceeded the definition of a Great Monster, reaching an indescribable realm.
However, in the world of the snow maidens, if the demons wanted to give birth to a Great Demon, they would have to rely on the Ghost Parade to gather the power of a hundred ghosts in order to create a Great Demon.
"— — Such a great monster is nothing more than a great monster in name"
"But no matter what, I did promise Ji Chuan Bingli to help her. Now that she has come to ask for help, it is time for me to fulfill my promise. "
Eight-cloud Ink pondered.
"Looks like I'll be facing Abe Seimei this time."
"Abe Seimei?"
Purple frowned.
"That Onmyoji? Speaking of which, I've seen Abe Seimei before. Of course, it's the one from the outside world. " Speaking of this, Purple smiled and opened her folding fan. "I wonder what's the difference between the Abe Seimei of this little monster's world and the Abe Seimei I've seen."
"You guys can discuss this matter slowly. She's fine now and will wake up on her own after a while. Take her back, I still need to research new medicine."
Yonglin waved her hand.
"If I leave her here again, I can't guarantee that I won't be unable to resist using her to test medicine."
"Ah, Yonglin, you're still the same, not frank at all."
"Hmm?"
Yonglin narrowed her eyes and stared at Purple without saying a word.
Purple didn't hesitate to look at her.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit heavy.
After a while, the two suddenly laughed at the same time.
"Leave, don't disturb me."
"Then we'll take our leave first."
Behind Purple, a gap slowly opened.
Ashina stepped forward to pick up Bingli and left the Forever Pavilion with everyone else.

When Bingli woke up, she found herself lying in a delicate and quiet Japanese-style room.
An unknown incense was burning in the censer in the middle of the room. It cleared her mind, which was a little muddled because she had just woken up.
The sun shone through the carved window, through the light gauze curtain, and shone on the tatami bed that Bingli was lying on.
Outside the window, there was the sound of birds chirping and an unusually pleasant male voice faintly.
Although it was a male voice, the strange charm in the voice made Bingli a little dazed for a moment.
"When the wind comes, the bamboo leaves no sound.
When the wild goose crosses the cold pond, the wild goose leaves the pond without leaving a trace.
Therefore, a gentleman's heart appears when things come, and his heart goes with emptiness when things go. Yui, little Misaka, and Cheng, do you remember this sentence? "
"Yes, Dad!" "Yes, Misaka, Misaka, I remember!" "Meow! What is this, meow? "
"Then, do you know what this sentence means?"
"I don't know …"
"Bang!"
"Aiya, Dad, why did you hit Yui's head again?"
"Didn't I already explain it to you yesterday? You kids don't pay attention when you're studying, but when you're playing, you're so crazy that you even forgot your names! If you continue like this, I'll have to send you to Shang Baize sensei's academy. "
"No —!!"
"That's fine, study hard in the future. Now, I'll explain again — Little Lamp, don't drink yogurt on my head. Come down and study hard. Listen — "
…
"What happened to me …?"
When Bingli came back to her senses, the door was pushed open just as she was trying to recall what happened.
A beautiful girl with chestnut-colored hair came in.
Although she looked like a girl, she exuded the charm of a mature woman.
The girl wore a Daoist robe with cherry blossoms and eight trigrams printed on it. It looked like a kimono, and although it looked a little strange, it was still very beautiful.
The golden buyao on her head swayed with the girl's footsteps and attracted Bingli's attention.
"Ah! You're awake! "
The girl with a wooden basin saw Bingli sitting up on the bed and exclaimed in surprise. She quickly walked to the side and put down the basin filled with water, then walked to the bed and sat down.
"How do you feel?"
"Um, excuse me, this is …"
"You forgot?"
The girl with a gentle smile pursed her lips and looked at Bingli.
"You came here to ask Mo for help. By the way, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Mo's wife, Yakumo Ashina. Nice to meet you."
"Help? Right —!! It's help! "
Bingli's mind gradually became clear. She wanted to get off the bed in a panic, but she accidentally pulled her wound. Her face turned pale and she let out a painful cry.
"Be careful." Ashina helped Bingli lie down again, "Your wound hasn't fully recovered yet. I'll call Mo over first. If there's anything else, we can talk about it when Mo comes over."
"O-okay … Thank you!"
Not long after Ashina went out, the sound of children reading in the yard stopped. After a while, the door was pushed open again.
This time, except for Ashina, Eight-cloud Ink, the little guys, and the mercury lamp also came into the room.
"You're awake. How do you feel?"
Eight-cloud Ink walked to the window and looked at Bingli who was lying on the bed.
Bingli said shyly, "Thank you for saving me …"
Then, she seemed a little anxious. She wanted to sit up, but Ashina gently pressed her back on the bed again.
"Didn't I tell you? Lie down."
"But, Young Master Lu Sheng … Can you please save Young Master?"
Bingli looked at Eight-cloud Ink with pleading eyes.
"Of course."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"Since I promised to help you, now that you've come to ask for help, I naturally won't refuse."
"Thank you! Thank you! "
Bingli was about to say something, but Zi and Lan suddenly appeared in the room.
A white figure flashed at the door and then jumped onto Eight-cloud Ink's shoulder.
It was Bai.
Bai stretched his body. Two of his nine tails were wrapped around Eight-cloud Ink's neck, and the other seven were lazily resting on his back.
"Ah, the Snow Lady is awake?"
"Yes, Elder Sister."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded at Zi and then introduced her and Lan to Bingli.
Then, Bingli began to explain the cause and effect of the incident.
It turned out that the feathered fox had reappeared in Kyoto. It was trying to break the seal of the Hua Kaiyuan family and give birth to the master of demons and monsters, Chi.
Meanwhile, the monsters of Nuliang Group had rushed to Kyoto and met up with the Yin Yang Master Hua Kaiyuan family to stop the feathered fox's plan.
However, a ridiculously powerful demon appeared along the way. It was the Earth Spider.
Nuliang Group was defeated by the Earth Spider. Bingli, who was heavily injured, used the token that Eight-cloud Ink had given her to travel to Fantasy Village to ask for help.
"Earth Spider?" Eight-cloud Ink mumbled.
"Feathered fox? Fox? "The fox ears on Lan's head moved. It was obvious that it cared about the feathered fox.
"Erm, Mr. Yakumo, you promised to help me with something."
"Don't worry, Nuliang Lu Sheng. I'll help him deal with the Earth Spider and the feathered fox."
Eight-cloud Ink turned to look at her family after she finished speaking.
"I'm sorry. I just came back. I have to go on a long trip again."
"It's okay."
Ashina held Eight-cloud Ink's hand gently.
Lan suddenly walked up and looked at Eight-cloud Ink. "Young Master Mo, can you let Lan go with you?"
"Oh? Why? Lan, are you … interested in the feathered fox? "
"Yes!"
Lan nodded without hesitation.
"Dad, dad, Yui wants to go too! Yui wants to go too! "
"Misaka wants to go too! Misaka tried to jump up and down to attract Elder Brother's attention. "
"Meow …?"
Eight-cloud Ink shook her head and pressed her hand on Misaka's head.
"No, you kids only care about playing all day long. You're not serious about your studies. Stay at home and study. I'll check on you when I come back. Little Lamp, you too! You're about to become a pet, do you know that? "
"Woo …"
The little fellows immediately had bitter expressions on their faces as they became dejected.
"Then, Lan and I will go this time."
"Okay, don't worry about the family. Sister and I will take care of the kids. Kurumi and the others will help too."
Ashina chuckled.
After making the decision, Eight-cloud Ink looked at Bing Li who was lying on the bed again.
"You haven't recovered yet. Stay here and rest for the time being."
"But …"
Bing Li was hesitant. She wanted to return to Lu Sheng as soon as possible.
"No buts. You won't be able to help even if you go."
Bing Li's face darkened. She then nodded slowly.
