Master of Kaidan

Chapter 400: Chapter 400 I’m Waiting for You at the Top of the Tower

Green Lantern.

Although there was no self-introduction, anyone familiar with the Kaidan of the Eastern Country understood the identity of this woman in blue at that moment.

The essence of the Hundred Tales Kaidan, the demon rumored to appear after the story is told, the master of the Hundred Tales.

That was indeed the legendary identity.

But no one ever expected she would appear at this exact moment in such a manner.

After all, in any legend of the Eastern Country, let alone the Orochi, even among the three big demons... No, not even the subordinates of the three big demons, is she someone who can rival them.

Myths and kaidan of the Eastern Country emphasize lineage; the top-tier Orochi was slain by Susanoo, one of the three noble children, and Yoshitsune was the defeated opponent of Minamoto no Yoshiie with traces of the Orochi legend.

Tamamo no Mae once served the Emperor, and was besieged by Abe Taiqin, thousands of monks, and a million troops (never mind where the million troops came from in the Heian Era; the legend says 80,000 couldn’t defeat her, then 130,000, then 300,000, and finally 500,000, not counting a 200,000 sacrifice).

As for the Big Heavenly Dog, it directly possessed the imperial lineage of high-grade kaidan.

Green Lantern, however, was just a gradually rising kaidan along with the game of Hundred Tales during the Edo Period.

But, since she appeared at this moment, she was undoubtedly the enemy. Before she could straighten up her bent body, Feng Xue had already pulled the trigger twice in succession.

Feng Xue thought the opponent would dodge in some miraculous way or produce a powerful illusory defense item, but in reality, those two shots hit her squarely.

Likewise, no immunity occurred; the blue kimono was blasted to tatters, and as blood spattered, that vigorous kaidan fire was instantly extinguished.

"That’s it?" Feng Xue looked at the Green Lantern, who was now completely lifeless, with surprise, feeling oddly empty. It wasn’t that he regretted it, although Green Lantern was a beauty, he had no compassion for her due to his feminization filter.

On the contrary, this feeling was like playing a soul-based game, after overcoming numerous challenges and spending a massive amount of time, he defeated one monster after another, finally facing the final boss, but the boss died in one blow.

Who wouldn’t be stunned by that?!

However, such thoughts didn’t last long, as the cold voice soon echoed again—

"The demon collecting stories, now transformed into a wick, has already become one with the world’s stories.

"Understanding karma, knowing the end of all stories, as long as stories are being told, the green flame will not extinguish.

"Acting wantonly, using human hearts as the guide, the floating world as a book;

"The green flame blazes, reading the rise and fall of life, continuing new Chapters."

As the voice, rich with a Japanese recital beauty and lacking in emotional tone, fell, the green kaidan fire once again condensed out of thin air, transforming back into the barefoot young girl dressed in a blue kimono.

She looked at Feng Xue without the slightest resentment or anger at the attack that had killed her once; her clear eyes mirrored Feng Xue’s form wrapped in the Masked Rider Armor. After a slight nod, she pulled out a scroll from her sleeve.

The scroll, unfurled, depicted the Night Parade of Hundred Demons, and as she gently shook it, along the slender painting originally filled with demons, shrines, pavilions, bird houses, lofts...

Various buildings and landscapes were incorporated into it, and the surrounding environment quickly faded.

The dawn light sprinkled over Tokyo, now in ruins, as Feng Xue stood quietly atop the Skytree Tower, watching Green Lantern fit everything into the scroll, unsure what action to take for a moment.

Combat?

That unreasonable resurrection ability was simply hard to understand.

Negotiate?

The other party seemed to have no intention of continuing the battle either.

The confrontation, akin to a static scene, continued until the entire sky was illuminated by the morning sun, and Green Lantern’s figure became slightly transparent with the sunlight.

With an indescribable serene gaze, she penetrated the visor of Masked Rider- Mystical Lord, and her clear voice echoed in Feng Xue’s ear—

"I’ll wait for you at the top of the tower."

Before Feng Xue could ponder the meaning of those words, Green Lantern’s figure had completely faded, disappearing into the top of the Skytree like a breeze.

Feng Xue appeared slightly perplexed, looking back at the desolate cityscape, giving the late-night livestream viewers a back-to-camera close-up facing the sunrise, then leaning forward and leaping off the Skytree.

The golden cloak transformed into wings, carrying him as he soared, marking the final scene of this livestream.

...

"Back?" In the hotel, Chen Xiyao, who looked somewhat out of spirits, greeted a dust-laden Feng Xue with a slightly strange expression. Feng Xue, noticing her awkward demeanor, grinned:

"Just ask whatever you want, no need to have the look of ’the husband has a lover outside, but the wife has to pretend not to know,’ okay?"

"Huh? Is it that obvious?" Chen Xiyao blushed, embarrassingly rubbing her face, while Feng Xue sighed helplessly:

"Why didn’t I notice before that you... uh, I was abrupt; ever since we’ve known each other, you’ve always been quite dramatic..."

"What do you mean by dramatic?! It’s called being emotionally delicate, okay?!" Chen Xiyao immediately retorted dissatisfied, while Feng Xue waved his hand:

"Fine, emotionally delicate then. So, what do you want to ask? I’ll say it first, I’m also in a fog right now and am looking for someone to ask. So ask quickly, just in time to expand my list of queries, and I can find someone to inquire later."

"You can even find someone to inquire?" Chen Xiyao was immediately intrigued, linking her arm with Feng Xue’s and leading him intimately into the hotel. Feng Xue flicked her forehead and then chuckled:

"Do you remember the one who told me to feed you well?"

"Feed me what... What are you talking about!"

Chen Xiyao’s face immediately flushed, but then she realized she might have misunderstood, awkwardly staring at her toes, but her mind conjured the moment when they had just crossed into Infinite City.

She remembered that Feng Xue indeed seemed to have made a phone call at that time.

With that in mind, she calmed her mood, organized her doubts and the questions her superior just sent her, and then asked the question she was most concerned about—

"Who was that woman before? What’s your relationship with her?"

"What kind of relationship could there be? An adversarial one! If she wasn’t unkillable, I would have finished her off first!"

Feng Xue rolled his eyes and spoke speechlessly, but considering that this question might be one that not only Chen Xiyao wanted to ask, he added—

"From the Kaidan structure, she’s the Green Lantern. As for anything else, I’m not really sure."
