Chapter 141 Appearance
"Who are you? Put me down!"
The little black-clad monster, who had been stopped by Yu Bai, waved his arms and shouted in mid-air, but because of the angle, he couldn't see Yu Bai's face clearly.
However, as the distance between them closed, they gradually sensed the natural aura of Fengyue God and Enkidu on Yu Bai's body.
Slowly, the little black-clad monster stopped struggling, and its white-masked face sniffed at Yu Bai's body.
The aura felt so familiar, aura that made the demon feel relaxed and fond of it as he approached. He had encountered it in a distant and profound memory, a scent unique to one of only two deities who could make him lower his guard and trust them wholeheartedly.
The floodgates of memory slowly opened with the familiar scent lingering around their noses. Back then, the Black-Clad Clan and the White-Clad Clan were still close friends, hand in hand and heart to heart. But ever since the Moon Goddess and the Moon Goddess separated, and with the competition held every 10 years, they slowly began to compete with the White-Clad Clan for victory.
Every demon who followed the Moon Goddess and the Moon Goddess believed that victory should belong to their own god.
What the demon couldn't believe was that Lord Bu Yue Shen was always the loser, despite his immense strength. He had never won a single time.
This fueled the black-clad group's growing obsession with winning the match.
"Feng, Lady Fengyue? Is it Lady Fengyue?"
Yu Bai's situation attracted the attention of a group of people in white hats and black clothes behind him. When the people in white hats finally saw the face of the silver-haired boy who had stopped the little black-clothed monster, they all ran over and surrounded Yu Bai.
From the moment they arrived, they felt that the silver-haired figure was all too familiar. However, since Fengyue had been gone for so long, they had assumed that their deity no longer wanted to stay on Mount Sanyu and had abandoned them.
Therefore, some dared not step forward to confirm, but now, seeing Yu Bai's face with their own eyes, their long-suppressed emotions could no longer be contained, and surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.
Actually, when Tianyin Feimeng was first sealed three years ago, the members of the White Hat Clan all misunderstood their god.
Because the gods who win each Moon Festival competition live in the shrine they and the Black-Clad Monks built for the Moon Goddess and the Abundant Moon Goddess on Mount Misumi, protecting the forests and villages on Mount Misumi and the surrounding area.
However, as the tide of modern civilization swept in, people's faith gradually faded, and the White Hat Clan could clearly sense the weakening divine power emanating from Tenon Fei-meng. (Actually, it was because the divine power Yu Bai had infused into Tenon Fei-meng was almost used up.)
At first, the White Hat Clan searched anxiously for the stone that sealed the God of the Moon. But then they realized that the one who sealed the God of the Moon was just a low-level exorcist with mediocre strength who couldn't even distinguish between gods and demons.
Logically speaking, Lady Toyotsuki should have easily broken free from that insignificant seal.
Thus, a guess quietly sprouted in the hearts of the White Hat Clan: perhaps, the God of the Moon, who had been silently protecting Mount Misumi, was simply sealed away by that foolish exorcist because of the loneliness and monotony of the long years, and wanted to take a break.
When the Moon Festival begins, the God of Abundant Moon will appear.
With this expectation in their hearts, the members of the White Hat Clan waited day after day on the threshold of the shrine, hoping for the return of Lord Toyotsuki.
They also planned that once Lord Toyotsuki returned, they would tell him that after the Moon Festival ended, they would announce to the public that this was the last Moon Festival. Afterwards, they would ask him to leave Misumi-yama and enjoy a pleasant trip.
To the surprise of the Shirakabes, the Moon Festival was about to begin, but the God of the Moon still hadn't appeared.
They guessed that perhaps the God of the Moon had already broken free from the seal and left Mount Misumi long ago.
I never expected to see Lady Fengyue again.
That's great.
Lord Fengyue has returned; he did not abandon them.
"Lord Fengyue~ Lord Fengyue, we miss you so much." The White Hat Clan crowded around Yu Bai's legs, one after another trying to rub against him, their faces under the white hats already brimming with tears.
"Okay, okay, I'm back. What happened between you guys? You used to get along pretty well, didn't you?"
Yu Bai gently stroked each of their little heads, comforting them while casting his gaze on the other side of the group of black-clad men who were eager to act but hesitant.
"Lord Fengyue..." Upon hearing Yu Bai's question, the voices of the men in black carried a hint of shyness and timidity.
Seeing this, Yu Bai sighed softly, then waved to the men in black, signaling them to come over.
"!...Lord Toyotsuki-sama! Ahhhhh~"
Seeing Yu Bai gently beckon them over, the sickle in his hand suddenly fell, and one by one, the White Hat Clan members were pushed aside, clinging to Yu Bai's legs and crying just like the White Hat Clan members had done before.
As the white-hatted men watched the black-clad men push them aside, take their places, and run to their god for comfort, countless "crosses" instantly appeared on their white hats.
Sensing the subtle emotions of the White Hat Clan, Yu Bai gently said to the Black-Clad Clan, "Alright, the festival competition is about to begin. You should go to Bu Yue's side first."
Sigh, it's true that kids get harder and harder to take care of as they get older.
After dismissing the men in black, Yu Bai slowly raised his head, his gaze settling on the branches of a sturdy tree to the side.
There, a young man dressed in the robes of the God of Abundance was squatting on the intertwined branches of a tree, looking somewhat awkward. It seemed as if he had just tried to jump out and stop the men in black.
"Hello?" Yu Bai greeted the boy in the tree with a warm smile.
……
White Hat Clan: We're angry! This is our Goddess of Abundance, Black Clothes Clan. What do you mean by pushing us aside?
The Black-Clad Clan: I don't care! Lady Fengyue, ahhhhh~ We miss you so much~
Shirakasa's crew: Get out! That's what we want to say!
