This bowl of porridge took a lot of effort.

Adding this hassle, Bai Luo's depression had largely disappeared.

But he didn't immediately go to Eientei with Fujiwara no Mokou. Instead, he got up and ran to the Sunflower Field to tell Kazami Yuuka, just in case he was tricked into having his kidneys harvested and no one would save him.

As for why he didn't look for others, the reason was obvious.

Among the forces he knew, only the Sunflower Field and the Yakumo Residence could forcibly take him out of Eientei.

Yakumo Ran probably wouldn't be enough.

As for Yakumo Yukari...

Bai Luo looked up at the sky, his eyes deep.

That guy was probably still lying in bed sleeping in. By the time she rescued him, he would have already been completely devoured.

...

Eientei was located deep within the Bamboo Forest of the Lost.

A quiet house, built entirely from bamboo and oiled paper, subtly gave off a warm and ancient feeling, yet it didn't look old.

There were many rabbits nearby. In Bai Luo's impression, their leader was a lucky rabbit named Inaba Tewi.

He heard she was like a lucky medicine; eating a piece of her flesh would bring continuous luck. He didn't know if it was true or false.

[According to the analysis of the Memory Corridor, the individual Inaba Tewi possesses the ability to bestow luck upon others, but the claim that eating her flesh increases luck has not been found, thus, the possibility is extremely small].

Got mixed up?

No matter, everything must be tried.

Bai Luo's eyes sparkled with dazzling light.

Meanwhile, in the bamboo forest, Inaba Tewi, who was setting traps and planning to randomly pick a lucky audience member to trick, suddenly shivered. While looking around, she muttered:

"It's not cold at all. Could it be someone is thinking of me?"

...

Entering from the courtyard at the entrance, there was a small clinic. This was where Yagokoro Eirin usually treated people.

Yagokoro Eirin was already waiting inside, while Fujiwara no Mokou ran to a room on the other side to fight with Kaguya.

Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded him: "Just refuse anything you don't want to do. You don't have to answer questions you don't want to. Yagokoro Eirin won't force him."

Fujiwara no Mokou spoke earnestly and endlessly, causing Bai Luo's cheeks to puff out, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Are you treating me like a child again!"

"No, no."

Fujiwara no Mokou repeatedly waved her hands. From the breakfast incident, she had seen that Bai Luo didn't like being treated as a child.

But she still couldn't help adding: "I'm in the room at the end of the right corridor, near the stream. If you..."

"Stop talking! I know!"

Bai Luo interrupted her, pushing and pulling her out the door. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, but his small face was still hot.

He wasn't a child. Was it necessary to remind him repeatedly? Moreover, there were other people here, how awkward!

Bai Luo turned his head back and indeed saw Yagokoro Eirin looking him up and down with a strange gaze, seemingly trying to find something.

Suddenly, she smiled gently: "It's my first time seeing Meihong like this, so concerned about someone. It seems your relationship is really good."

Hearing Yagokoro Eirin's teasing, the blush on Bai Luo's face, which had finally faded, deepened a bit.

At the same time, he silently made a note about Fujiwara no Mokou in his heart.

The process after that was much simpler.

Yagokoro Eirin took out the recovery medicine Reisen brought back and asked some questions about potion refining. Unfortunately, Bai Luo was completely ignorant about potions. The recovery medicine was just directly swallowed into his stomach, automatically analyzed and decomposed, and finally synthesized.

Bai Luo could only recite the explanation given by the Great Sage verbatim. Judging from the pleased expression on Yagokoro Eirin's face, she gained quite a bit.

"Since you can split your body, can you give me a piece of your bodily tissue? Consider it me owing you a favor."

Originally, Bai Luo was indeed a bit resistant. This was clearly trying to dissect him.

But upon hearing the reward, which was a favor, his eyes immediately shone with brilliance.

Who was Yagokoro Eirin?

Moon Sage, top-tier deity.

One of the few beings capable of wrestling with Kazami Yuuka.

Trading a piece of Slime for her favor, wasn't that a huge profit?

Bai Luo happily cut off a piece of Slime and handed it to Yagokoro Eirin. Just as he was about to sever the connection with the split body, a pair of fair and slender jade hands had already pinched it first.

"Eek! Ugh...!"

Chapter Fifty-Two: Kaguya

The air seemed to become unusually quiet.

Yagokoro Eirin silently placed the Slime in her hand onto the table and smiled awkwardly. She really didn't expect Bai Luo to have such a big reaction.

"Sorry, I didn't expect this."

Bai Luo glared at her, his lips tightly pressed. After suppressing the abnormality in his body, he said, "Give me back the split body first!"

Saying this, he snatched the Slime back.

If she had just casually pinched it, he naturally wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But that last action of hers seemed to be trying to probe its structure, and it even included spiritual power.

The feeling just now was like being massaged by a pair of hands for an hour from all angles, then compressing that hour's feedback and releasing it instantly.

He even vaguely saw himself sitting on a ferry boat, with a large-chested Shinigami beside the boat, staring at him blankly.

...

"Hey, hey, dead fire chicken, what are you spacing out for!"

The one speaking was a girl with extreme Eastern beauty.

A top and skirt, delicate and fair skin, waist-length black straight hair like a waterfall draped over an exquisite Princess dress.

If not for those dark circles around her eyes, she could be said to be perfect.

Fujiwara no Mokou seemed not to hear, her gaze still fixed outside the door. Her strange appearance caused Kaguya to narrow her eyes, keenly sensing something.

"Dead fire chicken!"

She shouted again, this time her voice slightly louder. And Fujiwara no Mokou finally snapped back to attention and asked discontentedly:

"What."

Something's not right.

Nine out of ten parts were wrong!

Usually in this situation, the other party would have cursed back, or even directly started fighting, but just now she was only slightly unhappy.

"I keep feeling like you're distracted."

Kaguya Houraisan got straight to the point, staring intently at Fujiwara no Mokou.

The latter seemed to have been seen through with a single word, panicking for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, saying testily:

"Dead shut-in, you probably stayed up too late, or maybe you accidentally squeezed your brain during the fight just now and are having hallucinations."

"Kaguya is a Penglai person; Kaguya wouldn't have hallucinations."

Although it was only a momentary change, it still didn't escape Kaguya Houraisan's eyes. She asked playfully, "Could it be there's someone you like, or something Kaguya shouldn't know?"

"Why don't you go find your Yagokoro Eirin to treat it?"

Fujiwara no Mokou was already prepared and didn't show any flaws. She rolled her eyes: "You probably watched too many movies. You, a NEET Princess, still want to learn how to be a detective like others?"

Kaguya Houraisan smiled without speaking, resting her cheek on one hand as if thinking. After a while, she said:

"Lately, the number of times you've come to Kaguya's place has decreased significantly."

"From the moment you entered, you've been distracted, looking towards Yagokoro Eirin's room a total of nine times."

"...."

After a powerful analysis, Kaguya finally came to a conclusion, raising her long sleeve and pointing at Fujiwara no Mokou.

"Therefore! There is only one truth! The person you like, or someone you don't want Kaguya to know about, is currently at Eientei, by Yagokoro Eirin's side!"

Fujiwara no Mokou was dumbfounded. Had she just squeezed this NEET Princess's brain with her hand and made her smart? Her mind was working so fast.

"Kaguya is really curious about someone who can make you, this dead fire chicken, care so much."

Kaguya Houraisan rubbed her hands, but before she could push the door open and go out, Fujiwara no Mokou blocked her way.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll kill you a few times first!"

"Acting like this just further confirms Kaguya's guess."

Kaguya Houraisan narrowed her eyes.

"So nervous, could it be you're in love?"

Several wisps of flame appeared out of thin air, twisting space. Just as Fujiwara no Mokou was about to make a move, the door suddenly opened, and then Reisen walked in carrying two servings of morning tea.

Seeing their posture, she was already used to it.

She silently placed the morning tea on the table and was about to leave as usual, but unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, Kaguya Houraisan grabbed her shoulder.

"Did this dead fire chicken bring someone else to Eientei?"

Reisen didn't understand, but still weakly nodded.

"Indeed! Kaguya knew it!"

Penglai Mountain laughed heartily with satisfaction, then asked, "Where is that guy now? Is he with Yagokoro Eirin?"

Seeing Reisen nod again, Kaguya Houraisan patted her shoulder and solemnly assigned her a task.

"You help me stop this dead fire chicken. Kaguya must go and see what kind of man she can find so Kaguya can properly mock her later."

Reisen initially subconsciously wanted to nod, but then reacted and vigorously shook her head.

She didn't want to get involved in this mess, nor could she.

Just from Fujiwara no Mokou's glare, as if she wanted to turn her into a spicy rabbit head, if she dared to stop her, she wouldn't know how she died.

Moreover, the commotion she heard when passing Master's room just now... if it was caused by her, she would probably have to spend the next few weeks in the pain of testing medicine.

Thinking of this, she silently took half a step back, wanting to turn and run, but a hand had already grabbed her arm.

"Go!"

With Kaguya's loud shout, Reisen only felt a dizzy spell, and her whole body flew towards Fujiwara no Mokou like a kite.

Fujiwara no Mokou remained vigilant at all times and quickly dodged sideways. But she didn't know when, a layer of Eternity and Instant had been placed on her body, slowing her movements by more than a thousand times.

She was directly knocked down by Reisen. Terrifying pure white flames rose up, burning away the Eternity and Instant layered on her body along with it.

But at this moment, Kaguya had already disappeared.

...

"You can even determine the types of these potions?"

"Of course, and it's not just potions. Even herbs, items, whatever, as long as they enter my stomach, they can be analyzed."

Bai Luo was smug, saying this, he even swallowed a bottle of potion on the counter, bottle and all.

After smacking his lips a few times, he said, "Strawberry flavored, has the effect of stirring up emotions. The side effect is a certain probability of entering emotional loss of control and going into a berserk state."

A gleam flashed in Yagokoro Eirin's eyes. This was a potion whose effects had already been tested on Reisen, and the conclusion tested was no different from what Bai Luo said.

"You won't be affected by the potion's side effects?"

"Yes, I will, but the side effects are almost completely analyzed the moment they enter my body, and I gain corresponding immunity effects."

After hearing Bai Luo's words, even the usually calm and elegant Yagokoro Eirin couldn't help but slightly part her red lips, showing surprise, and at the same time became even more curious about Bai Luo.
