Chapter 677: Chapter 20: That Would Be Too Unfair to Her (Part 2)

Although Yakumo Zi does not know much about the Moon Capital, based on the current clues and information, it seems that moon dwellers generally have a dismissive attitude towards Earth.

To them, the Earth is filled with "impurities."

So——

If this person only appeared on Earth as a clone, it would be understandable.

But does this person also look down on the life on Earth? She inadvertently glanced at Gu Mo, pondering and nodding lightly: "It’s good to take a look and learn more... But even if there’s no specific goal, there should be some plans, right? I am quite familiar with the Earth; do you want some suggestions from me?"

"Plans, huh... hmm, I just want to meet more friends and enhance communication or something?"

Gu Mo contemplated this question briefly, tilted his head, bit into the snack in his hand, and said with a smile, "That’s pretty much it, do you have any suggestions?"

It didn’t sound like a lie...

If he’s thinking of making friends all over the Earth, that means he doesn’t have the typical superior mindset of the moon dwellers, and there isn’t any issue of disdain.

The Monster Maiden had just harbored such doubt, but it seemed to have been resolved quickly. She breathed a little sigh of relief and unceremoniously pinched a piece of pastry with her delicate jade fingers: "If that’s the case, I really can give you some advice..."

"Firstly, the sunflower field to the east, although that Flower Demon is indeed quite a headache, they are definitely worth befriending..."

"..."

"..."

A strange silence.

"Oh, if it’s Miss Kazami, I’ve already met her." Gu Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, trying to speak in as calm a tone as possible.

"Already met?" Yakumo Zi was taken aback for a moment.

"Yes, it was this spring. Because it had been postponed for so long, I decided to meet up before setting out this time. I felt bad about the previous incident..." Gu Mo scratched his cheek with his index finger, his expression showing a bit of helplessness.

"Oh~ So that’s how it is~"

The Monster Maiden across from him suddenly showed a subtle expression, scrutinizing the young man with a meaningful smile, a trace of slyness flashing in her eyes: "So, how do you feel? Speaking of which, she’s quite a rare beauty, right?"

"..."

"..."

A rare beauty... Gu Mo’s mouth twitched; it’s indeed not wrong to say so.

Gracefully standing in the sunflower field...

Her smooth green hair dancing in the wind...

At that glimpse of a moment, seeing that figure from afar, he indeed was a bit stunned, as if seeing a summer flower blooming brightly in the midst of midsummer.

But her temper was quite volatile. The information Yakumo Zi had previously provided was not misleading; that Flower Demon seemed spirited in battle and particularly fond of fighting. That kind of feeling at the time left him somewhat dazed, thinking he was facing the fury of nature.

Those were indeed the settings he had imagined previously...

There was no such eternal peace, no silent elegance belonging to the Master of Flowers.

"As expected, it seems like an encounter that wasn’t easy."

Watching the change in his expression, seeing his long period of silence, Yakumo Zi couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"Indeed, it was not easy..."

Gu Mo shook his head; indeed, it wasn’t easy. Somehow, they ended up in a fight... But apparently, for that Miss Flower Demon, accompanying her for a fight was instead the quickest way to reconcile.

"Already very good... At least you are still intact now."

Yakumo Zi studied the young man across from her, thought for a moment, and tried to probe: "Did she discover your situation, so she suddenly stopped?"

The young man in the moonwhite Daoist robe twitched his mouth: "That’s exactly what happened. After discovering I was a clone, Miss Kazami suddenly became uninterested..."

It seems the girl in front of him knows that Flower Demon quite well, but understandably so, hearing about the origin of their grudges that seems to have persisted for a long time.

Perhaps it is because that Miss Flower Demon’s grasp and sensitivity towards the essence of life had reached an extraordinarily astounding degree, noticing during the fight that he was merely a puppet, thus becoming more interested in his true self and not wanting to continue against a clone.

"Her personality is not easy to get along with but she is quite earnest in real battle... she probably feels that the true you is the real strong one, so naturally, she isn’t interested in your current self." Yakumo Zi smiled sweetly, "To decide the winner, naturally one must come honorably..."

Trying to simulate and speculate on Kazami Yuuka’s thoughts, the Monster Maiden asked with great interest: "So you agreed with her? She thinks fighting your clone is too unfair, and wants you to use your true self for a fight?"

"..."

"..."

"No, after all, that would be too unfair to her..." Gu Mo paused silently, replying in a curiously odd tone.

Right now, his true self is undergoing a transformation, and when it’s able to move freely again, it will surely be the result of his life form’s successful evolution. Referencing Tima’s existing example, even standing there to be hit, it would be hard to break through the defense—a truly authentic Divine Body of the original world.

A Divine Body with no weaknesses on the physical and mythical plane.

"Oh?"

Not knowing what he was thinking, the Monster Maiden across from him was slightly stunned, her eyes brightening: "So you think you have a high chance of victory?"

"Just average, as long as I’ve got hands..."

Gu Mo very humbly demurred, then shifted the topic: "Alright, besides the sunflower field, are there any other interesting places?"

"Hmm, let me think..." Yakumo Zi contemplated briefly, then looked out the window to recognize for a moment, "If we are advancing in this direction, there’s a Spiritual Peak over there, a volcano mainly inhabited by many ghosts and tengu..."

"I have some dealings with the Celestial King of the Ghost Race, and the Great Tengu. Sometimes when they hold a Fire Suppression Festival, I go over to take a look... But the timing is not right now, so I guess we won’t see a Fire Suppression Festival..."

"Near the foot of the mountain, there are intermittent springs erupting from the ground, hiding a passage leading underground, straight through to Hell, and a Yama’s jurisdiction is there..."

"Because the ghost race likes to make friends, nearby demons and divine spirits are active, and the surface world and underworld have some exchanges, so the area around that mountain is relatively a place where non-human entities move about frequently on this land." She explained eloquently, looking towards Gu Mo, who seemed quite interested:

"How about it, would you like to take a look at this one?"
