Chapter 24 The Phantom Princess's Attraction
Chapter 24 The Phantom Princess's Attraction
The wild boars' habitat has been destroyed, so the Naga gods are determined to fight humans to the death. The wolf god's habitat has not yet been destroyed, but they will also take precautions and strike first.
In contrast, these monkeys lack the courage to confront humans head-on, displaying only impotent rage and shouting. They believe that wherever there is a forest, it is their territory. So, while humans cut down trees during the day, these monkeys plant trees at night. Living a humble life and dying a miserable death perfectly describes these monkeys.
But didn't humans evolve from monkeys? Now that Liu Yufei is here, the ape race can be considered to have a Beast God, so----Ape God activated!
"They just want to take back the valley so they can plant trees! Ashitaka, please stay and help me!!"
"Do you perhaps intend to take away the entire forest?"
Ashitaka asked the most important question. He could let go of the past, but he couldn't stand idly by and watch what would happen in the future. Unfortunately, he had misjudged the person; the person before him was Princess Eboshi.
"Bring light into the forest, drive away those beasts, and things will be better for Tadara!! The blood of the Kirin can heal your curse, and Princess Mononoke will turn back into a human!!"
Given these three conditions, Ashitaka was somewhat tempted. It's just a shame Liu Yufei wasn't there; if he were, he would have already started cursing.
"Good grief, that's the end of the story. And this 'civilization'? Should these beast gods start holding a Thanksgiving or something?"
First, nature will never thank humankind; only humankind will thank nature. For so many years, we've been eating and drinking our mother's food, yet we still think we're the head of the household. Isn't that going against the natural order?
Secondly, whether the Kirin God can lift the curse is unknown to Huanji, but she still created this scenario. As those who have watched the anime know, the Kirin God is imbued with a curse.
Third, Shan is a person, at least more human than the people in this chaotic world. Huanji always uses herself as a template to judge a person's form. Compared to the turbid world, Dadara is indeed a pure land, but the true pure land is always nature.
Shan is kind and peaceful. She did not hurt anyone and did not want to hurt anyone. It was Huan Ji who stained this pure land red. No matter what reason she had for starting the war, war is always war, and it is wrong.
Although Princess Eboshi's words were extremely tempting, as if Ashitaka could have everything—career, love, and health—if he simply nodded.
But standing before her was Ashitaka! A protagonist with clear eyes, a sincere heart, and a perfect character.
"With the blood of the Qilin beast, all the patients here will be cured!!"
Princess Huan continues to use gentle persuasion, taking lives to heal her own wounds—a foolish method perhaps only a human would conceive of. Throughout human history, attempting to achieve happiness through war has always been folly.
Ashitaka ignored Princess Eboshi, fearing he would lose control if he listened any longer. Just then, a patient rushed over and said:
"Lord Black Hat, please go and take a look!!"
"Ha! What's wrong? Is that young man up to his old tricks too?"
"No way! This is amazing! Please come in!"
Huanji thought something serious had happened, so she immediately grabbed her spear and ran inside. No matter what, she genuinely cared about these patients.
Meanwhile, inside...
"Hehehe, uncle, there's nothing I can do about that, it's already fallen off!!"
"Ah! God, it doesn't matter. It's already a blessing to be alive. I don't dare to ask for more."
Although Ye Wufeng's ability could cure these diseases, he was powerless to help those with broken arms and legs because he had only recently obtained the fruit. As for the uncle in front of him, his second brother had already rotted and fallen off, making his future days difficult.
"Haha, I'm so sorry! I cut it off because it was rotten and useless!"
Ah Jiu immediately apologized to him, presumably because it was he who had wielded the knife. Sure enough, with Uncle Da's voice in his voice, these words reminded Liu Yufei of a scene from A Chinese Odyssey.
"What happened?!"
Although she was anxious outside the door, once inside, Huanji returned to her calm and composed demeanor.
"Lord Black Hat, the immortal...!"
"A-Jiu, you can get up now?"
"Waaaaah, Lord Black Hat, thank goodness the gods came to our rescue..."
It was only then that Huanji realized that all the patients who had been on the beds had recovered. Huanji had a very rich life experience and had long since developed a heart that could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed. But at this moment, she was also surprised and widened her eyes.
Meanwhile, Liu Yufei was treating those with minor injuries. These patients were even easier to treat, as they watched the light constantly emanating from Liu Yufei's hands.
“It’s a miracle!”
"Phantom Princess Leader, you've arrived!!"
"Hehe, young man, you must be a magician from the East! Thank you so much!!"
Although she didn't understand Liu Yufei's methods, Huanji was Huanji after all, and her surprise didn't last long. Liu Yufei didn't follow up on her story, but instead said:
"Where is Ashitaka?"
"He's gone. Dadara didn't get the answer he wanted!!"
"That's such a shame!!"
Since Tatara didn't have Ashitaka's answer, Ashitaka would definitely go to the forest to find his own answer. Seeing this, Liu Yufei also put down his last patient.
"Young man, is the answer you're looking for here?"
"Hehehe, Leader Huanji, I am merely a traveler, wandering the world, making my home wherever I go, it doesn't matter where I go!!"
Liu Yufei did not show much hostility, but of course, he did not express any goodwill either.
"Haha, then stay here for a few more days, you'll love it here!"
Despite Huan Ji's smiling face, she's probably thinking about killing Liu Yufei right now.
Because Liu Yufei's abilities were too bizarre, clearly beyond his control, Liu Yufei, despite his worldly experience and lack of self-confidence, understood Huan Ji's gaze. He then slowly walked out.
"Lord Black Hat..."
Not only Liu Yufei understood, but Ajiu, who was standing to the side, also saw it. Just now he was struggling to survive, but now he was able to be reborn. His gratitude to Liu Yufei goes without saying, but his respect for Huanji is also genuine.
"Hehe, the food and drinks will be here soon. We should celebrate! He'll see!"
Ah Jiu looked at Huan Ji with gratitude. Huan Ji ultimately decided not to harm Liu Yufei, not entirely because of the patients, but because she was not confident. If she couldn't kill him, Liu Yufei's abilities would make him much more difficult to deal with than the beast god in the mountains.
If Liu Yufei really gets desperate, he could run away and seek refuge with any powerful figure, which would bring utter destruction to Dadala.
Fortunately, Liu Yufei was unaware of Huanji's thoughts. If he had known, he would have scoffed at them. With his current abilities, if he were to fully transform into a beast, he could single-handedly destroy Dadara. Why would he need to rely on others?
