Chapter 626 - 38: Fear, Bewitchment, and Incitement
"Is there still any potion containing werewolf fur?"
Gu Mo meticulously noted down the characteristics of the materials Hiri described, which were needed for an alchemical decoction called "Green Grass," and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Yes, it's said to enhance the Demon Hunter's mutations and boost the predatory instinct... But it's not absolutely necessary, and I'm not too clear on the formula for 'Wolfman's Fury' either." Hiri recalled earnestly, unsure as she spoke.
"Not necessary... that works too."
Gu Mo nodded, shaking the ink-wet paper in his hand.
Even without the need for something like werewolf fur, the listed materials were still somewhat troublesome: not only some unheard-of mushrooms, mosses, and herbs, but also peculiar items like cross-tailed dragon spinal fluid, flying lion monster venom gland, and the tongue of an albino vampiric succubus.
"I told you it wouldn't be that easy..." The Demon Hunter Girl pursed her lips as she said this.
"No, it's not impossible either. Tell me more about the characteristics of these demons..."
Gu Mo calmly contemplated as he spoke.
"..."
"..."
"Are you planning on cultivating this one the day after tomorrow too?" The Demon Hunter Girl opened her mouth, suddenly feeling that this person's thoughts might be even more dangerous than she had guessed.
"It's not impossible; after all, herding one sheep is the same as herding two... Or you could list all the demons you remember." The young man in front of her smiled gently, and it was unclear whether he was serious or joking.
Hiri's eyebrows twitched slightly. She didn't doubt whether he could do it, given that many creatures in her memory originated from accidental or deliberate magic experiments.
"Their training is over. Do you want to go up and try..."
Hearing the clangs stop in the courtyard, Gu Mo glanced in the distance and saw that Miss Saito, who had been sparring with Minamoto no Yoshiie, had stopped. She gently wiped the fine sweat from her smooth forehead and placed the huge glaive scythe on the ground. Sensing his gaze, she glanced over.
The moment their eyes met, she seemed quite displeased, snorted softly, and turned away, her tightly tied single ponytail swaying gently.
"Uh..." Gu Mo's eye twitched slightly.
As he expected, it's been like this since this morning. The sister-in-law's attitude had noticeably changed, from originally being warm and friendly, curious and slightly close, to suddenly becoming cold and somewhat angry.
Perhaps... from Miss Saito's perspective, she just realized something was off today.
— Even though he didn't know why he impulsively participated in the wedding yesterday, watching happily and even being swept up in the atmosphere, joyously offering blessings and praise... But thinking back now, the more he thought about it, the more awkward it seemed.
This person actually allied with Owari Country in marriage! Married to that Oda Chi!
Clearly, I... No, clearly, the sister came first. How could he do that! Does that justify the sister!
With such thoughts and prejudices, Miss Saito naturally didn't have a pleasant face for Gu Mo. After all, she was also influenced by the wedding ceremony, and even now, after getting past last night's emotional fervor, the impression left was already set.
— Perception had been corrected.
— The bride was "Oda Chi."
Probably like this, coupled with Hidechika also being somewhat absent-minded today, subconsciously avoiding Gu Mo, which the sister misinterpreted, so... the favorability plummeted?
Gu Mo sighed gloomily, while the Demon Hunter Girl was eager to try. She picked up the Silver Sword lying next to her, leaving a comment: "I'll go and try it."
She was interested in Minamoto no Yoshiie's martial skills, which is why she stayed at the dojo from early morning until now. She wouldn't miss the chance, after all, due to previous concepts and habits she had nurtured; she still quite enjoyed close combat with swords.
Clearly, she was already initiated in the Flying Sword Technique...
Gu Mo waved his hand: "Go, go..."
Come to think of it, Hiri's attitude towards him had changed initially too, but the misunderstanding was easily resolved. He'd probably have to find a chance to speak to Miss Saito as well... Such thoughts crossed his mind as he looked around, feeling somewhat troubled.
Although yesterday he managed to get through, today it seemed both Kikyo and Ah Xiu were intentionally avoiding him.
Maybe they're embarrassed...
Maybe they feel awkward...
Who knows...
Then there's Miss Tamamo no Mae, who was purely feeling guilty, so she quietly slipped away under the pretense of explaining to Miss Ah Shi. Of course, given her persistent personality and relentless spirit, she'd probably soon regroup and launch another frontal assault.
He lowered his head, contemplating the intel in his hands, quickly sketching blueprints in his mind based on descriptions of the shapes, habits, and characteristics of these materials' original species.
Blueprints of life design.
Both animal and plant.
It felt instinctive, as if by intuition, he almost subconsciously pondered the basic biological structures of these life forms, considering what they should look like, and what kind of environment they should live in—
