Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

"Yuyuko, I've distributed the allowance! Didn't you say you'd sell me that last egg?"

Bai Luo asked expectantly, his face stiffening halfway through. He quickly asked, "She didn't make it into a fried egg and eat it, did she?"

"No, I hid that egg after you left last time."

Youmu quickly waved her hand, motioning for Bai Luo to wait, then hurried towards the inner courtyard. Soon after, she returned to Bai Luo with a giant egg with green stripes in her hand.

The moment he saw the egg, the stone in Bai Luo's heart finally dropped. He took five taels of gold from his stomach and handed it to Youmu: "Here, this is the money for the egg. Since you manage Hakugyokurou's finances anyway, I won't tell Yuyuko."

Youmu nodded repeatedly. If Youyouzi-sama knew, she would probably go to the Human Village again to eat and drink excessively, and then wait for her to pay and pick her up. No matter how much money there was, it would never be enough to eat.

Feeling the heavy weight in her hand, Youmu smiled brightly: "Thank you, Young Master Bai!"

This money was enough for them to last for a while.

As for what Bai Luo could get from this egg, they didn't consider it.

After all, this egg was originally just Youyouzi-sama's reserve food, but now it had been exchanged for five taels of gold. For them, it was an unexpected joy, and they had already made a huge profit.

Youmu carefully hid the five taels of gold in a pocket in her inner lining, and even deliberately covered it with her collar to avoid revealing any clues.

And after Bai Luo took the egg, he couldn't wait to devour it.

Immediately after, the voice of Great Sage sounded—

【Creeper egg parsing in progress—estimated thirty minutes】

Chapter 46 Creeper Egg, Explodes with Yakumo Yukari!

【Creeper egg parsing complete—】

【Obtained Explosion Conversion—can add explosion attribute to any substance】

【Obtained Compressed Self-Destruct—upon encountering danger, perform extreme compression of internal magic power to self-destruct】

【Evolution value +6%】

【Current evolution value is 54%, Collapse value is 41%】

Explosion Conversion?

Doesn't that mean that picking up a flower or a stone and throwing it makes it a bomb?

Bai Luo rubbed his hands excitedly. Others could injure people by picking flowers and leaves, but he could explode people by picking flowers and leaves.

It was simply awesome!

As for the third point, Compressed Self-Destruct, it might seem useless at first glance, but upon closer inspection, doesn't it perfectly match his Slime form?

Next time he encounters someone he can't defeat, he can just use a clone to explode with them, right?

Bai Luo stood with his hands on his hips and laughed loudly, feeling that he was too much of a genius.

As for the evolution value and collapse value, for now, there is no need to worry.

Unless something unexpected happens, by the time the evolution value is full, the collapse value will still have a long way to go.

Bai Luo was in a great mood. After teleporting back to Fantasy Land, he walked along the path towards the Sunflower Field.

The sun gradually set, hiding behind the mountainside, and the quietly escaping afterglow enveloped the flower field, as if covering it with a thin layer of golden veil.

Kazami Yuuka was still there, standing in front of rows of giant sunflowers, admiring the flowers.

A few scattered rays of afterglow leaked through the gaps in the branches and leaves, shining on her cold and indifferent face, making her appear even more aloof.

"A-San!"

Bai Luo called out, his voice clear and pleasant.

Kazami Yuuka slightly turned her head, and seeing that it was Bai Luo, her lips curved into an arc, and her willow-like eyebrows raised slightly: "Isn't the festival celebration tomorrow? Why are you here today?"

"What, can't I come see you if there's nothing going on!"

Bai Luo grumbled unhappily, turning his face away and adding, "You're my little brother, so what's wrong with me coming to see my little brother!"

If anyone dared to treat her as a little brother, Kazami Yuuka would have sent them flying with a Magic Cannon long ago, turning them into flower fertilizer. But facing the Little One in front of her, she only felt amused.

She chuckled lightly: "Oh~ Would someone even be unable to defeat their little brother?"

Bai Luo felt guilty, but still insisted: "....I just haven't been cultivating for long enough."

After saying this, he seemed to feel that it lacked momentum, so he added:

"This Slime is a genius. If you have the guts, let's fight again in a few years. By then, I'll directly take care of you, this little flower youkai!"

"Take care of me?"

The arc of her lips grew wider and wider, and Kazami Yuuka smiled. She said, "Okay, I'll wait for you. The day you defeat me, I will grant you one wish."

"What are you laughing at, and you'll even grant me a wish! You don't believe me, do you!"

Bai Luo grumbled unhappily. Kazami Yuuka gently shook her head: "I believe it. If it were Yakumo Yukari saying it, or someone else, I wouldn't believe it."

Her voice stopped, and her scarlet gaze fell on Bai Luo.

"But if it's you, I won't doubt it."

Looking at her serious expression, Bai Luo's little face inexplicably turned red. He turned his gaze away and mumbled:

"What are you suddenly saying? I won't go easy on you then."

"Okay."

Her tone was light, with a hint of a smile. Kazami Yuuka raised her hand and tucked the emerald green hair from her forehead behind her ear.

"So, what is it you came to see me about?"

Hearing this, Bai Luo finally remembered the main point. His little face showed excitement, and he said, "I've gained a new ability!"

"New ability?"

Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, yeah, quickly guess what ability it is."

A hint of helplessness flashed in her scarlet eyes. There were so many abilities in the world, it was almost impossible to guess correctly.

"Here's a hint, boom—!"

Bai Luo said, even imitating the scene of an explosion with his hands.

"Magic Cannon?"

"No."

Bai Luo shook his head vigorously, "Don't you think, if it were just a Magic Cannon, why would I come to show off to you?"

After a moment of thought, Kazami Yuuka looked up: "Is it related to explosions?"

"That's right!"

Bai Luo nodded in satisfaction. Under Kazami Yuuka's puzzled gaze, he picked up a stone about half the size of a fist from the ground and threw it into the open space next to the Dream House.

"Boom—!"

First, a dazzling white light cut through the air, followed by a deafening roar, as if the earth itself trembled a few times.

After the dust in the air settled, a two-meter deep pit appeared in the area where the stone had landed.

The lounge chairs next to the Dream House were even blown away by the aftershock of the explosion.

Bai Luo swallowed, his heart thumping. It was his first time using this ability, and he really didn't expect it to be so powerful.

He cautiously glanced at Kazami Yuuka out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that she wasn't angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can make any substance similar to a bomb? That's a pretty good ability."

Kazami Yuuka praised, walking towards the blown-away lounge chair and picking it up to dust it off with a helpless expression.

"But next time you use this ability, try to stay further away from the Dream House."

"...I understand."

Bai Luo lowered his head and looked at his toes, nodding obediently. But soon, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked up and said:

"There's another ability, also an explosion, but it's different from the one just now."

"Oh? What ability?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Kazami Yuuka's eyes.

"Compressing the magic power within the body to the extreme, causing a qualitative change, and then self-destructing!"

"...."

Kazami Yuuka fell silent, her eyes strange, as if asking, Are you serious?

Not just Kazami Yuuka, but even Yakumo Yukari, who was hiding in a gap and peeking at the situation here, sprayed out a mouthful of tea and almost choked to death.

Self-destruct?

Is that even an ability?

...

"What, from the look in your eyes, you think this ability of mine is too weak."

Bai Luo snorted, and said proudly: "My self-destruct is not an ordinary self-destruct, this is from Wang Wei's poem... Bah, I misspoke."

He coughed twice, and continued:

"I am a Slime, and splitting into a dozen copies is no problem."

Saying that, a ball of blue liquid separated and turned into another Bai Luo.

"See, this is my clone. Not only can it fight like the main body, but it can also be used to self-destruct!"

"Clone? Self-destruct?"

Hearing this, Kazami Yuuka walked forward, examining the clone in front of her with interest.

Her slender jade hand gently lifted, and under Bai Luo's bewildered gaze, she pinched the clone's tender chin.

"What are you doing!"

Bai Luo rushed forward in a hurry, separating the two and standing in front. His little face turned red with shame and anger. Although the clone behind him didn't move, its face also turned pink.

"It's indeed the same as the main body."

Kazami Yuuka said in admiration as if nothing had happened.

"Very powerful. Your current strength is enough to rival most Great Youkai."

"Do I even need you to tell me that? Once I get familiar with this ability, that Purple Old Woman won't be able to do anything to me."

"If she dares to provoke me again, I'll just use a clone to explode with her! And I'll escape directly using teleportation!"

Bai Luo said excitedly, completely unaware of the implicit cross mark appearing in the void.

Chapter 47 Festival Celebration

"Let me go, I must explode with him first! Who is he calling Purple Old Woman! Self-destruct? Teleportation? Can't do anything to him? This old woman will let him know today why I am called the Youkai Sage!"

"Calm down, Zi Daren, please calm down! Young Master Bai is in the Sunflower Field right now."

Yakumo Ran desperately pulled the nearly rampaging Yakumo Yukari, trying to stop her.

The more Yakumo Yukari thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she wanted to hit someone. But after struggling with Yakumo Ran for a while, she gradually calmed down.

Just from the fact that the Little One was playing with explosives in the Sunflower Field and Yuuka could still smile about it, she knew that if she went to cause trouble, success or not was irrelevant, but she would at least get hit by a few Magic Cannons.

Thinking of this, Yakumo Yukari was in a very bad mood. She looked at Kazami Yuuka across the gap with a resentful gaze.

She had known the person opposite for a thousand years, yet she was being bombarded with Magic Cannons for Bai Luo, whom she had only known for two months.

"A guy who values looks over friends!" she muttered resentfully.

...

Time flew by in a flash. The sun set and rose again, and it was already the morning of the next day.
