Yakumo Feng walked eastward, not knowing how long he had been walking. Suddenly, he smelled a faint scent of blood. (A demon's nose, you understand.)
Yakumo Feng cautiously walked forward, and it wasn't long before he saw a demon beast. This demon beast was gnawing on a corpse. Beside it was a pile of corpses dressed in samurai attire. Among them were two people who looked like Onmyoji. And not far away, a richly dressed middle-aged man lay severely wounded.
Yakumo Feng looked at the scene in front of him and murmured, 'No way, this plot seems so familiar. Why isn't the injured one a beautiful woman, but a middle-aged man? Should I save him or not? ...Looking at his attire, and with samurai and Onmyoji protecting him, he must be a very wealthy person. Maybe if I save him, he'll give me some money. Right now, I lack nothing but money.'
Ding, side quest: Rescue Fujiwara no Fuhito.
Quest requirements: Rescue Fujiwara no Fuhito from the demon beast. And safely return Fujiwara no Fuhito to the Fujiwara clan.
Quest reward: 1000 energy points. Failure: No penalty.
Do you accept?
'No way, there's a quest already? I was just thinking about it! Now I can't not save him. Although it's just a demon beast, I don't know if I can beat it right now. I've only just started researching the power of gaps, and with the gaps I can open now, I probably can't even gap its claws. I'd better think about what's in Doraemon's treasure bag that can deal with this. Accept quest.'
Saying that, he hid behind a rather thick tree and thought for a while. Then, he took out a timer from Doraemon's treasure bag (it looked like a pocket watch without a lid, with a button; pressing it would stop time within ten meters, and pressing it again would resume time). Then he took out speed cream and rubbed it on his feet.
'This should work, right? After all, it's just a demon beast, not a demon.'
While thinking, he slowly approached the demon beast. When he felt the distance was about right, he quickly pressed the button. At this moment, everything around him stood still, even the leaves that were falling beside him remained in their previous falling posture.
Yakumo Feng looked at the demon beast and found that it was indeed motionless. He couldn't help but let out a breath. He quickly carried Fujiwara no Fuhito and ran desperately along the traces where Fujiwara no Fuhito and his group had walked before.
When Yakumo Feng ran ten meters away from the demon beast, the time on the demon beast, which had been stopped, also resumed. At this moment, the demon beast looked forward in confusion, realizing that something seemed to be missing. And there was a strange smell in the air. However, a demon beast is a demon beast after all; it doesn't think. It buried its head and continued to eat the corpses on the ground.
Yakumo Feng didn't know how long he had run, but when he felt he was far away from the demon beast, he slowly stopped. Yakumo Feng found a relatively thick tree and carefully put down Fujiwara no Fuhito.
'This is the legendary Fujiwara no Fuhito, Reimu Hakurei's father? He looks somewhat presentable. No wonder Kaguya didn't fancy him.
Speaking of which, why do I feel like I'm facing Makoto when I look at him? I really want to give him a slice below. But let's not. I don't know if Reimu Hakurei has been born yet. If Reimu Hakurei hasn't been born and her father gets cut by me, I'll regret it to death.
I'd better treat his wounds first. If I leave him like this, saving him will be pointless.'
Saying that, he pressed the timer again to resume time around them, then took out a first-aid kit from Doraemon's treasure bag. After some treatment, and giving him a blood-replenishing pill, Fujiwara no Fuhito's complexion finally recovered a bit.
After a while, Fujiwara no Fuhito slowly opened his eyes and muttered to himself, 'Cough, cough, cough. Where is this? Didn't I die? Is this the underworld? So the underworld is no different from the human world.'
Yakumo Feng was speechless. 'If you want to die, I'm not against it. But could you let me send you back first before you die? Speaking of which, are you trying to die? I'm really sorry, if I had known you wanted to die, I wouldn't have saved you.' (Yakumo Feng had studied Japanese diligently to watch anime.)
At this moment, Fujiwara no Fuhito finally saw an exceptionally handsome man standing before him, with long golden hair, a pair of emerald green eyes that seemed to hold infinite knowledge, and a calm expression on his face. A red dot between his eyebrows further revealed an indescribable aura about the man.
'I'm not dead? Did you save me? Where's that demon beast? And who are you? You don't look like someone from around here. You're not a demon, are you?' Fujiwara no Fuhito's string of questions made Yakumo Feng's head ache a little.
'You're asking so many questions at once, how can I answer you? Can't you ask them one by one? But that's understandable. You thought you were dead, but you're not. Anyone would have a ton of questions.
You're not dead. It wasn't me who saved you, did you sleepwalk here? That demon beast is currently eating. As for the food, it's your subordinates.
Don't ask me why I didn't save them. When I got there, all your subordinates were already dead. As for you, I only rescued you while that demon beast was preoccupied with eating. Although I have some minor abilities, I can't beat that demon beast.
Also, I am indeed a demon. But don't worry, I'm the kind of demon that doesn't eat people. As long as you don't provoke me, I'm quite benevolent.'
'A demon that doesn't eat people? I've never heard of such a thing. How can a demon not eat people? I never thought I'd escape the beast's maw only to fall into a demon's den.' Fujiwara no Fuhito said with a bitter smile.
'If I wanted to eat you, I would have done so long ago. Why would I bother treating your wounds? Who says demons must eat people? I know some demons who don't eat people; they eat human food too, you know.' Yakumo Feng said helplessly.
Yakumo Feng quietly thought to himself, 'Youxiang indeed doesn't eat people; she just uses them as flower fertilizer. And Remilia only drinks a little blood.'
Fujiwara no Fuhito looked helplessly at the treated wounds on his body. 'Indeed, if you wanted to eat me, you wouldn't have treated my wounds. Thank you very much, then. I never thought that I, Fujiwara no Fuhito, would actually be saved by a demon. Speaking of which, do you have anything to eat?'
'Yes, wait a moment.' Saying that, Yakumo Feng took out the tablecloth and spread it on the ground.
Then Yakumo Feng said, 'You're injured right now, so it's better to eat something light. Once your wounds heal, you can eat whatever you want.'
Fujiwara no Fuhito looked at the piece of cloth on the ground that suddenly conjured a lot of food and said in surprise, 'How magical! I've never seen such a magical cloth before.'
Saying that, Fujiwara no Fuhito picked up a bowl of porridge in front of him and started eating.
Yakumo Feng looked at Fujiwara no Fuhito speechlessly and said, 'Slow down, no one's fighting you for it. It wouldn't be good to strain your wounds.'
Fujiwara no Fuhito said while eating, 'This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious. By the way, can you send me home? I can't go back by myself in this state. Also, my name is Fujiwara no Fuhito, what's yours?'
'My name is Yakumo Feng. As the saying goes, save a man to the end, send a Buddha to the West. Yes, I can. By the way, where do you live?' Yakumo Feng asked Fujiwara no Fuhito.
'I'll just call you Yakumo. My home is in Kyoto, not far from here. It's easy to find.'
Yakumo Feng pretended to be furious and shouted at Fujiwara no Fuhito, 'Kyoto? What the heck? You know I'm a demon who can't even beat a demon beast, and you're still telling me to go to Kyoto?
I saved your life, you know. You don't have to mess with me like this. This is clearly repaying kindness with enmity!'
At this moment, Fujiwara no Fuhito said, 'Please rest assured, Brother Yakumo. I am the Right Minister of Kyoto. As long as I tell them, they won't do anything to you.'
Although Fujiwara no Fuhito had only been in contact with Yakumo Feng for a short time, as the Right Minister, Fujiwara no Fuhito had the necessary discernment. He knew that Yakumo Feng was a demon with a good temper and was benevolent towards people, as long as his bottom line wasn't crossed.
Moreover, Fujiwara no Fuhito also had a hint of curiosity about Yakumo Feng.
'A demon who can't even beat a demon beast, yet possesses a cloth that can conjure food, and such incredible medical skills. I know my injuries best; he only treated them for a while, and I woke up and could even eat by myself. If it were anyone else, even if they woke up, they'd have to be fed.
Not to mention the previous matters, a demon with medical skills? With a demon's recovery ability, medical skills are simply unnecessary.
If he could be kept in the Fujiwara family, there would be no need to worry about injuries in the future. But how could he be kept? Fujiwara no Fuhito thought while eating. Occasionally, he would look at Yakumo Feng. He had never seen such a good-tempered monster.
At the same time, Fujiwara no Fuhito thought with a pang of frustration, "How is this a monster? Anyone who didn't know would surely think he was a human, and a very kind-hearted one at that."
