Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

【Withering—All things wither, accelerating the decay of all things】

【Levitation—Allows self and objects within sight to float】

【Undead Immunity—Immune to most undead-type abilities, such as plague fire, curses, etc., can be stacked with Fire Immunity and Poison Immunity for increased effect】

The above are the three abilities obtained after consuming the Withering Egg.

Bai Luo briefly scanned them.

He found that apart from the first ability, 'Withering', the other two could only be considered barely usable, with little effect.

For example, 'Levitation'.

He now possessed the ability of Instant Movement.

Not only could he instantly move regardless of space and distance, but he could also instantly move any item within his sight. This ability was clearly stronger than 'Levitation'.

As for the third ability, 'Undead Immunity', there was even less to say.

As long as he had Great Sage and Predator, he could quickly consume and analyze negative effects, thus becoming immune to the corresponding abilities.

Bai Luo instantly moved to an uninhabited forest and randomly selected a flower as his test subject.

He gently pinched the petals with two fingers.

The touched part quickly turned black and aged, gradually spreading to the entire flower. Eventually, the entire flower turned into black ash and scattered.

"Is it that strong?"

A hint of interest flashed in Bai Luo's eyes. He had only used a trace of demonic power just now, and he didn't expect the effect to be so significant.

He stood up, looked around, and after confirming there were no living people, he slightly mobilized the demonic power in his body. A gray mist representing death instantly permeated the entire area.

All things wither.

Flowers, grass, trees, everything covered by the mist, as if their vitality was stripped away by an invisible hand, decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into black ash.

As Bai Luo closed his hand again, the mist instantly disappeared completely.

If it weren't for this area being lifeless compared to other places, it would be impossible to tell that the mist had ever existed.

Seeing this, Bai Luo couldn't be more excited. If he could press this on the Purple Old Woman's face.

Wouldn't that be...

However, soon, Bai Luo gave up this idea.

Although he hadn't tested the upper limit of this ability, it should only be barely effective against individuals of the level of Yakumo Yukari and Kazami Yuuka, with little impact.

What's more, she wouldn't possibly stand there and let him press her face.

Wait.

It might be possible!

Bewitchment Art!

If Yakumo Yukari fell under it...

No!

Bai Luo shook his head fiercely again, discarding the plan in his mind. If he did that, his remaining integrity would be gone.

【Notification. Individual Bai Luo's integrity has long since disappeared】

Great Sage was still diligently reminding him.

"Nosy!"

Bai Luo grumbled angrily.

"Great Sage, you've changed. Back in the outside world, when you were crying, you weren't this much like a robot."

However, after a long while, Great Sage's voice still didn't come.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't play the ostrich."

Bai Luo shouted, and the next moment, as if thinking of something, the corner of his lips slightly curved. He split off a feminized clone.

"Great Sage, control the clone now."

【...Understood】

After hesitating for a moment, Great Sage responded.

Seeing the clone's eyes turn crimson, Bai Luo nodded with satisfaction, walked in front of Great Sage, leaned close to her ear, and gently blew a breath.

Great Sage remained expressionless.

"Great Sage, I heard it at that time. I definitely didn't mishear. You said you liked me, and it was that kind of liking where you want to kiss and hug."

When saying this, Bai Luo specifically leaned against Great Sage's ear, his voice softly entering with the warmth, extremely ambiguous.

【Illusion】

Great Sage denied it, but Bai Luo still caught the tremor in her voice. He bit her hot earlobe.

"Actually, I like you too, Great Sage."

As Bai Luo's words fell, Great Sage's pupils trembled. Not only did her earlobes turn redder, but even her breathing became rapid.

But before Great Sage could do anything, Bai Luo immediately shouted:

"Great Sage, I command you, now! Immediately! Right now! Restore the co-sensory connection between the clone and the main body."

Thump.

Thump, thump.

Bai Luo felt Great Sage's heart beating rapidly, and even her blood flow accelerated a bit.

Bai Luo crossed his arms and laughed triumphantly as if victorious, saying smugly, "Still trying to pretend? You were the one who brought it up first before, and just now you're actually playing dumb saying it was..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and Bai Luo was tackled to the ground.

He looked in astonishment at Great Sage's exquisite and flawless face.

A warm, wet sensation came from his lips, blocking all the words he was about to say.

After a long time, the two separated, panting.

Bai Luo's eyes became hazy. Just as he was about to continue, the clone turned into blue liquid and melted back into his body.

"Huh?"

Bai Luo blinked his eyes.

She ran away?

After realizing, he complained discontentedly:

"Great Sage! You can't be like this! You were the one who actively said you liked me, you were the one who actively kissed me, and now you're running away! How can you be like this? It's too much!"

However, only a slight breeze responded to him.

Seeing this situation, Bai Luo rubbed his hair in distress and didn't urge Great Sage any further. He climbed up from the ground and muttered:

"Seriously, Great Sage, you're always like this. If you like me or not, at least give me a clear answer."

【Like】

After a half-second of silence, Great Sage suddenly responded.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Luo's eyes, but after that, no matter how he called out, Great Sage didn't respond anymore.

He wasn't annoyed, understanding that Great Sage was just shy and embarrassed, and needed time to accept it.

Using his Boundary ability to reverse the time in this area and restore it to its original state, Bai Luo returned to the Happy Hut.

He first went to the backyard, took out the saigyou ayakashi tree from his stomach pouch, and replanted it.

Looking at the saigyou ayakashi tree in front of him, which had turned from a towering tree into a small sapling, Bai Luo couldn't help but feel regret.

Despite this, he did not use demonic power to accelerate its growth this time. He just picked up a small blue watering can and hummed a tune while watering it.

This scene was once again happened to be seen by Yakumo Ran passing by.

"Young Master Bai, did you plant another tree?"

Bai Luo glanced at her from the corner of his eye, then shook his head.

"This one is the same one I planted before. The Purple Old Woman didn't destroy my saigyou ayakashi tree; she just helped me put it in Hakugyokurou."

"Oh, oh."

Yakumo Ran nodded, secretly庆幸 (feeling fortunate) that she didn't really listen to Young Master Bai last time and use a hammer to hit Zi Daren's head, otherwise she might have already become a fox fur coat.

"Wait! Saigyou Ayakashi Tree!?"

Yakumo Ran suddenly grasped the keyword and asked in disbelief:

"Young Master Bai, did you just say Saigyou Ayakashi Tree?"

"Yes, you should have heard of it. After all, the Purple Old Woman had a headache for a long time because of this tree."

Bai Luo explained casually.

And Yakumo Ran was so shocked that she couldn't even speak, trembling as she pointed at the small sapling that had just sprouted.

"So, Young Master Bai, you not only brought back the Saigyou Ayakashi from Hakugyokurou, but you also planted it in your own yard?"

Chapter 57: Making Potato Chips.

"No."

Bai Luo shook his head. Just as Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he continued:

"The original Saigyou Ayakashi has been eaten by me. This saigyou ayakashi tree is a young form that I painstakingly created by extracting the Saigyou Ayakashi's bloodline and combining it with some other abilities. Its future achievements will not be inferior to the original."

"Pfft—"

Yakumo Ran almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She stared intently at the small sapling that had just emerged, and after a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Does Zi Daren know?"

"Of course Zi Ma knows. She was the one who took me to retrieve the saigyou ayakashi tree."

"Hoo~"

Learning that Zi Daren was aware, Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

With this, things were under control, and she no longer had to struggle with whether to hide it for Young Master Bai or secretly inform Zi Daren.

While Yakumo Ran was thinking, Bai Luo also finished watering. He put away the watering can and remembered something important.

"Ran, I need your help with something. Are you free now?"

"Help? Oh, oh, I'm free!"

Yakumo Ran snapped back to attention. Since the great barrier was upgraded, apart from checking the great barrier once a week, her other time was free time, and she was extremely闲 (free).

Bai Luo led Yakumo Ran to the kitchen.

There were three sacks on the ground. Inside the sacks were the potato slices that Kaguya and Meihong had cut last time.

"I want to make potato chips, and I can't do it alone. Will Ran come and help me?"

Yakumo Ran hesitated for a moment, wagging her tail bashfully.

"What are potato chips? Ran doesn't know how to make them."

"It's okay, I'll teach you. It's very simple."

Bai Luo removed the Boundary he had cast on one bag of potato slices and then taught her hand-in-hand.

Yakumo Ran learned very quickly. Coupled with the fact that making fried potato chips was not difficult, she learned after just watching once.

An afternoon passed.

As Bai Luo took the last batch of potato slices out of the frying pan, then sprinkled them with special seasoning, and finally applied a Boundary to prevent spoilage, all three large bags of potato slices were processed.

These potato chips were put into transparent plastic bags. Each package was printed with a Slime pattern and had a Boundary applied to prevent spoilage.

Bai Luo counted them, then took out five bags and handed them to Yakumo Ran.
