Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

"?"

Hearing Xia Yan change the subject and actually give a date, Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief, but also slowly typed a question mark.

Good grief, you actually did it after I said you'd pay, huh?!

Your sister is completely devoted to you, yet you try to outsmart her!

Given this kind of relationship, you're still playing the "reward" game with me. Aren't you afraid I won't let you sleep with me?

It seems like he really isn't afraid...

After all, I've already been pretty much trained. (Sad)

If the other party really wants it, given my physical condition, I probably wouldn't even have the thought of resisting, let alone the ability to do so...

Damn it, was this part of your plan?! Xia Yanji!

Thinking about it this way, my future seems bleak...

Thinking of this, Jianzi couldn't help but pout.

"Why not for a lifetime!?" This sticky voice sounded more like a coquettish plea than a complaint or question.

"If it's a lifetime, it's still a little short right now..."

"Who cares..."

Sensing a tangible gaze and a clear hint in her words, she instantly understood what was happening. Although she stubbornly retorted, she dared not utter another word.

Megumi-chan, the complete guide!

Chapter 277 The Plan to Freeload at the Imperial Palace (Onmyoji)

In the world of Nurarihyon, in a castle high in the clouds.

When his consciousness returned to reality, he looked at the wine bowl he had just raised in his hand, and the little monster still kneeling beside him, his face full of respect, holding a tinderbox, ready to light his pipe.

Time did indeed stand still when I entered the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space].

He gulped down the bowl of fine sake, enough for an ordinary person to drink for a day, and then, with the help of a pretty female demon with white dog ears, lit his pipe and leisurely exhaled pale blue smoke.

He waved his hand, signaling the little monster to step back and stop serving him.

Xia Yan leaned back on the tatami mat, a playful smile on his face.

"I never knew I had this kind of 'cheat code'! But I'm already a great demon, so isn't it a little late...?"

To be fair, Xia Yan is different from other Xia Yans who had a tough time after landing and relied entirely on cheat codes to turn their fate around.

As a yokai, Natsuhiko Nurarihyon doesn't actually have a great need for this cheat code that he relies entirely on.

People strive for a better life.

As for the Nurarihyon...

If I had to use one word to describe Xia Yan's essence, it would be—

Free of charge!

The essence of Nurarihyon is to get things for free.

While the family members were busy preparing dinner, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swaggered into the living room, and casually drank tea.

They might even pick up their master's pipe and calmly start smoking, making those who didn't know better think they were a distinguished guest of the master, and dare not neglect them.

His attire made him look like a wealthy businessman, and he walked with the leisurely air of a rich man. However, no one knew his true identity, and he would not say even if asked. His taciturn attitude made people feel intimidated.

This is the essence of Nurarihyon.

From the moment Xia Yan was born into this world, he was able to live any kind of life he wanted without having to work hard at all.

After being smashed into this world by that running Optimus Prime with an uppercut.

Although before it took shape, it went through several years of hazy, dreamlike days, like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water.

But that time felt like a dream. When he woke up, Xia Yan was already a sly devil.

Upon landing, they become powerful demons at the level of demon kings.

Although they may not be able to defeat monsters skilled in combat like Shuten-dōji or Tamamo-no-Mae in terms of raw strength, they are by no means helpless. At least if they want to leave, the other side will definitely not be able to stop them.

Moreover, those great demons rarely clashed with him.

Those with weaker abilities wouldn't even be able to detect him.

Those who could discover Xia Yan would have to be at least great demons or great onmyoji of equal rank to him.

These people didn't care at all.

After all, they're all wealthy and powerful, so they wouldn't care if a slippery fellow like him tried to freeload a meal.

Even if Xia Yan eats and takes some, it's just enough for a few more people.

As for whether Xia Yan would feel guilty for eating and drinking for free...

Just kidding. The grain from those landlords and rich people in the feudal era was all obtained through exploitation and oppression anyway. What's wrong with me eating a meal from you?

I call this robbing the rich to help the poor!

With this ability to get things for free, and his considerable fighting prowess.

The whole world is practically Xia Yan's playground.

At least in an island nation, that's certainly true.

Of course, this wouldn't work in the neighboring Celestial Empire, where the rites and music had completely collapsed, people's minds were in chaos, and the country was still in a state of division.

After all, you never know when a customer who comes to your door might end up as a dish on the table.

That's why Xia Yan only circled around there twice before returning.

Not interesting.

The more chaotic things are, the more likely all sorts of weird monsters will pop out.

Although his skills are barely passable, there's no need for him to throw himself into playing PUBG just because of some nostalgia.

After all, he misses the Yan Kingdom of the 21st century, not this chaotic, inhuman era.

If we want to go back and take another look, we'll have to wait until someone wins the final round and the game is unified again.

Of course, this was Xia Yan's thought before he entered the [space].

Now, having received generous sponsorship from their counterparts in other worlds, their strength is naturally vastly different from what it used to be.

If Xia Yan's previous level among the great demons was top-tier in terms of escape ability but average in actual combat, then he can now confidently say that...

The reason I am still a great demon is because the highest level I can reach is "great demon".

Even if Susanoo, the celestial general from the heavens, were to come, Xia Yan would still be...

They still couldn't win, but at least they were confident of survival.

Therefore, for the Yan Kingdom, which was in the midst of war, Xia Yan...

I'm still not very interested.

After all, he's a monster, and even if he went there, it wouldn't be possible for him to help anyone establish a country. Staying here is fine for him.

Feeling the surging power within his body, and the essence that seemed to have been sublimated and evolved again under the influence of this powerful force, Xia Yan revealed a satisfied smile.

"Although I was doing alright before I had this power, having it is better than not having it."

"Since I earned it all myself anyway, I might as well take a stroll around the renowned 'Heian-kyo.' If it were me now, I should be able to easily bypass the barrier and sneak in."

"I'll just go to the palace and get a couple of meals there then..."

While planning his grand scheme of freeloading, Xia Yan played with the exquisite and elegant pipe belonging to the owner of this palace, sipping his food in a leisurely manner.

It's described as delicious, but the taste is actually just so-so.

Although many aspects of social development in this fantastical anime world cannot be compared with actual history, at least when it comes to seasonings, there are still basic principles to follow.

Many things simply don't exist if they're not there.

Moreover, island nations still suffer from a lack of variety in resources.

So even though wealthy families try their best to make the dishes the best they can, in front of Xia Yan, who has tasted and seen a lot, the taste is just so-so.

It's not exactly bad, but it's definitely not delicious either.

Besides, he doesn't really need to eat much. The reason he freeloads is mainly to satisfy his appetite and enjoy the pleasure of getting something for free.

However, there should be some strange and unusual things in the palace.

Chapter 278 Freebies come with risks; wear a helmet when you eat.

Actually, Xia Yan's plan to go to the palace for a free meal was not a sudden whim.

It could be considered premeditated.

After all, even someone with toes would know that the emperor's food was definitely different from what others ate.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be locked onto the Emperor.

The regents, the governors, and the ministers must have had plenty of all sorts of good stuff in their homes, especially those in the maritime affairs department, who might even have some treasures passed down from the Celestial Empire.

But I can't get in.

Even if he is a great demon, he still can't get in.

Or rather, it's very difficult to get in.

It wasn't because Heian-kyo was heavily guarded or anything like that.

Although the defenses inside were indeed quite tight, the three major Onmyoji families of "Genji", "Fujiwara", and "Kamo" were all stationed in Heian-kyo.

However, this can only be considered a secondary reason.

Even if he were surrounded by everyone, no one could stop Xia Yan from running away.

The main reason is that Heian-kyo is surrounded by a barrier that prevents all monsters from entering the capital.

This barrier is quite extraordinary!
