The Book of Maiden Contract

Meihong is human, or it should be said that she is from Penglai.

Originally a concubine of a noble family, an ordinary human girl who was not expected by others, maybe a little stupid, otherwise, if she was not stupid, she would not take Penglai medicine. After taking the medicine of Penglai, she became immortal with white hair and red eyes. Of course, her body would not grow up.

No one would be willing to live with a monster that won't grow up, so since then, Meihong has been living a life of wandering alone, and finally wandering, she hid in the mountains and lived like a monster. As a human being, she was naturally the prey of countless monsters.

But because she is immortal, even monsters can't kill her. Even if the legendary phoenix once consumed her body, she still survived. In the end, she swallowed the phoenix and possessed the fire power of the phoenix... So, Meihong has another identity, the holy warrior of the Phoenix constellation, phoenix Ikki—of course, it doesn't matter if you take it seriously.

From avoiding humans for the first 300 years, to maintaining a weak self-awareness by fighting monsters for the next 300 years, and then being too bored to do anything for the next 300 years, until finally seeing Kaguya again in the last 300 years, and finding the joy of life in the killing of each other, this is all Meihong's experience as a Penglai doll.

However, the relationship between her and Kaguya should be quite complicated. Although she still hates Kaguya now, she still feels that the other party is a person with the same disease as herself. She used to worry that Kaguya would return to the moon, so she sneaked out of the window of Eternal Pavilion to eavesdrop... Maybe even she herself can't tell whether it is love or hate.

"What the hell are you here for?" Meihong held her chin, her eyes casually glanced at the darkness beside her, she seemed to be doing nothing, but she couldn't help asking. Although she doesn't like to talk about her own affairs, she is very interested in other people's affairs.

"Hui Ye asked me to help her catch a turkey." Lin Luo said with a faint smile.

"What did you say? You called me a turkey?" Mei Hong raised her eyebrows, she was angry.

"I didn't say that, it was Hui Ye who said it." Lin Luo quickly pretended to be innocent, "Actually, I also think she is too much, but I need her help with something, so I am very embarrassed."

"That guy... I can't spare her!" Meihong said bitterly.

"Right, I think so too, how can you call someone a turkey, at least it should be called a fire phoenix." Lin Luo shook his head and said, as the saying goes, it's better to be a general than to be a general. It's too stupid to take Meihong by force without saying whether it can be done.

"You called me Turkey just now." Meihong looked at Lin Luo, with anger flashing in her eyes.

"That... I just said it in passing." Lin Luo was stunned. It seems that the ancients can't believe everything, and the aggressive method is still very dangerous.

"Ah, it's useless to say more. Under such a crazy full moon, it would be a waste if you don't try your best to fight a game. Since you are Kaguya's envoy, let me see what kind of guy you are!" While speaking, Meihong's hand was already lit with flames, which was the power she possessed after devouring the phoenix.

"Tsk..." Lin Luo couldn't help but smacked his mouth. Sure enough, bad girls are very troublesome creatures. They do it as soon as they say it, without any warning at all. But at this point, Lin Luo would not be afraid to fight, and he was somewhat looking forward to it, because the flames on Meihong's body had become more and more intense, and even his clothes were on fire.

Meihong's immortal body is limited to herself, but it doesn't mean that her clothes are not afraid of flames.

"Then I'll play with you, but if you lose, how about walking with me?" Lin Luo stepped back instantly, talking and laughing.

"You don't need to tell me, I'll go find that guy!" Meihong said with a blank face, and then her body lifted into the air in an instant, raising her fiery hand, "I, who don't know death, have already surpassed the darkness, look at the beautiful barrage that was liberated from the cycle of darkness!"

"Phoenix—Phoenix Wings Fly to the Sky!"

Crash! Two wings of flaming light unfolded behind her like a screen, faintly resembling a phoenix, which was the prototype of the phoenix embodied by her power, and then, countless flames shot towards Lin Luo like a meteor shower.

If it was just an ordinary flame, Lin Luo would have no fear, but he didn't dare to be careless in the face of Meihong's immortal flame, because the other party was also a complete ground level, and at this level, even simple power could exert incomparably terrifying destructive power.

Aside from Reimu's unrestrained nature, Mehong is considered the strongest earthling in Gensokyo.

Without any hesitation, Lin Luo immediately took to the air. The proficiency of the six elements has reached lv2, which not only allows him to have a deeper understanding of the six elements, but also greatly immune to the attacks of the elements. Of course, even so, he still built a strongest defense net on his body, and then, the light of fantasy shot out.

The flames and white light illuminated the night sky. Just the first collision showed terrifying power. Some weak monsters around immediately fled in panic after seeing this power. In the depths of this bamboo forest, no monster dared to resist Meihong.

"Ah! You two are actually fighting!" Such a violent power fluctuation naturally couldn't escape the perception of Kamibaize Huiyin. When she ran over, her face was livid, but her strength was still a level short, and it was impossible to stop it.

"It's just to learn from each other, you just watch over there, teacher."

"I can't die."

"..." Huiyin didn't know what to do with what the two said. She hesitated for a moment, and finally she had to stand aside and watch quietly. There is a saying that if you don't fight, you don't know each other.

On the other side, there was already a rumbling sound in the sky, how fierce the collision of fire and light is, you can know a thing or two just by listening to this sound. Meihong didn't hold back her hand, the roaring flames filled the sky, sometimes forming a giant bird, and sometimes scattered into countless sparks, falling down like raindrops. Even the clothes on her body disappeared bit by bit with the flames, but she didn't care about it at all.

Of course, Lin Luo didn't dare to release water. Even for Meihong, who was immortal, he could use his power to his heart's content. Anyway, no matter how hard he hit the opponent, he couldn't die, so it was a test of his own strength.

If it is said that the battle below the ground level is about the intensity of power, then the strong ones above the ground level are fighting for the strength of the realm, as well as the ability to evolve and control, because power does not matter whether it is strong or weak, it only depends on the person who uses it.

In terms of realm, Lin Luo should be a little higher than Mei Hong, but in terms of control, it is probably not as good as Mei Hong. After all, the latter is an old monster who has lived for more than 1,300 years, and has been fighting monsters all the time. In addition to the battle with Kaguya, he already knows his own strength well.

To put it bluntly, the battle of spell cards in Gensokyo is actually a barrage of hide-and-seek, and in this regard, Lin Luo is not as good as these experts who have been playing barrage for many years. The fusion power of the fantasy light is not eclipsed in the face of the real level. It is no longer possible to fuse if you want to, but you have to control it by yourself to offset that power and then absorb it.

From all aspects, the battle on the ground level and the battle below the ground level are two completely different forms.

Of course, this does not mean that the light of fantasy has lost its effect. In fact, Meihong is under more pressure than Lin Luo, because the light of fantasy can even swallow the flames on her body, which greatly weakens the power of her barrage.

Once they came and went, the two were evenly matched.

On one side are blazing flames, and on the other side are bright and dazzling lights. While colliding with each other, they also shoot at the enemy on the opposite side. Although Meihong is immortal, it will still hurt if she is hit, so she will dodge it as a matter of course. As for Lin Luo, he used black flames against red flames to wipe out all the flames that attacked him... This barrage battle didn't last more than an hour. In terms of time, it was Lin Luo's longest battle since he came to Gensokyo.

However, as a bad girl, Meihong obviously doesn't care about the difference in gender. Even if she is naked, she looks generous, and she can fight as usual, and she doesn't stop until she seems to be tired at the end.

Usually wearing a loose shirt and bell-bottom trousers, you can’t see it, but now that the clothes are burned, her secrets are completely exposed. She is quite good in terms of figure, with a thin waist and thick buttocks, but her chest is a little smaller, like a poor breast...Of course, Lin Luo is naturally feasting her eyes.

"Idiot, go and get dressed!" After falling from the sky, Meihong seemed a little tired, she was panting heavily while sitting on the bamboo pole, but before she could sit up for a few seconds, Huiyin rushed up, gave her a head hammer, and then dragged her into the darkness.

"What are you doing..." Meihong was very reluctant.

"This guy really doesn't have any sense of being a woman. He really is a pure grandpa..." Lin Luo couldn't help complaining as he watched the two figures disappear before his eyes. Meihong was probably the only one who could show his [***] in front of others so calmly.

But speaking of it, she can’t be blamed for it, because her ability makes her have to play with herself at every turn, and she has been living alone in the deep mountains and old forests, or in some respects, she has long stopped treating herself as a human being... At least no normal human being would often burn himself with fire.

This barrage battle was also a bit difficult for Lin Luo. After landing, he sat on the ground and panted heavily. After all, Meihong is also an ex-level boss, so she is not so easy to bully.

After a while, Huiyin and Meihong came out from the depths of the bamboo forest again. Meihong was still wearing the previous set of clothes, but she looked much cleaner. Obviously she had more than one set of that style of clothing... But where did her clothes stay in the bamboo forest?

Lin Luo felt very confused, and vaguely guessed in his heart that this should have something to do with Huiyin's ability.

"Hey, where did so much food come from?" Lin Luo was puzzled, and Huiyin and Meihong were also puzzled, because they saw that there were more than a dozen plates of dishes in front of Lin Luo at the moment, not only steaming hot, but also looking like they had just been cooked, and even wine, drinks, and various tableware.

"Don't worry about the details, come over and have a bite. After the battle is over, there is an indispensable banquet. This is the style of Gensokyo." Lin Luo smiled lightly and extended an invitation to the two.

"In this way, isn't my hot pot prepared for nothing..." Huiyi complained. But Mei Hong was not polite at all, she walked to Lin Luo and sat down, grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it, not to mention the image of a lady, she didn't even have a girlish demeanor, she ate meat in large pieces and drank in big bowls.

"Really, give me a little more attention to my image." Sitting next to Meihong, Huiyin was a little embarrassed. As a scholar who knew the book well, she hated such rude gestures.

"What's the matter, I don't live for others to see... Well, this meat is delicious." Meihong didn't care at all, with oil stains all over her hands and mouth. In the six hundred years since she first became a Penglai doll, she has endured all kinds of hardships, and she has long been indifferent to many things, which has also formed her current maverick style. Perhaps it is because of this that she is out of tune with the crowd, but more like a monster.

"Oh, forget about you." Huiyin sighed and didn't care about her anymore. Although she didn't like Meihong's style very much and hoped that she could live more like a normal person, but since she prefers the current life, there is no need to force it.

"By the way, do you have something to hold onto that guy?" After eating for a while, Meihong suddenly looked at Lin Luo and asked.

"There is nothing to blame, but there is something that needs to be borrowed from Huiye's lucky rabbit." Lin Luo did not hide anything, and briefly explained the matter of the cursed box.

"Ah, so that's what happened. It's really troublesome. People who are in the cycle of life and death are always bound by various things. I can't experience it if I can't die." Meihong said lightly. Indeed, no matter what kind of curse you can't take effect on a person who can't die, even the curse will be afraid of the eternal life.

"And Hui Ye's condition for borrowing Lucky Rabbit is that I take you there. Although I don't know the reason, anyway, it's not new for you to fight and fight every day, so why don't you come with me?" Actually speaking, Mei Hong is more talkative, and she is honest, and she is not stingy in helping others.

"Okay, for the sake of this meal, I'll go with you. Anyway, it's time for me to trouble her..." Meihong nodded decisively, then took a few sips from a bowl of soup. It seemed to taste good, and asked, "What kind of soup is this?"

"Oh, that's mushroom soup."

"puff!"

Meihong squirted out all the soup in one mouthful.
