Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

Bai Luo, full and satisfied, returned comfortably to the sofa and watched TV with narrowed eyes.

Yun Jiuling didn't ask anything either, just silently cleaned the table and kitchen. After finishing, she also came and sat on the sofa.

Although it was her own home, she felt inexplicably constrained at this moment.

"You... why are you here?"

After hesitating for a long time, Yun Jiuling couldn't help but look up at Bai Luo, who was lying on the sofa like a corpse.

Bai Luo sat up, stretched lazily, and then shifted his gaze to Yun Jiuling's face.

"Of course I came looking for you."

Speaking of this, Bai Luo showed a look of being hurt by money:

"I planned to stay in this world for a few days, but unfortunately, I'm penniless. After thinking about it, the only person I know in this world is you, so I came to seek refuge with you~"

Bai Luo looked at Yun Jiuling, who had fallen into a daze, raised his eyebrows, and leaned closer.

"Could it be that you don't want to take me in?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Yun Jiuling also came back to her senses, quickly waved her hand, and her delicate cheeks turned crimson with excitement and nervousness.

"I, I was just thinking about whether or not to buy a bigger place to live. I'm afraid you won't be used to living here."

"No need, I'm easy to take care of. Just food and lodging are fine."

Bai Luo waved his hand, then lay back down on the sofa.

Yun Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with joy. At this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had treated him to that bowl of mango milk ice earlier.

Ten minutes passed.

Bai Luo rolled over, then turned again, glancing at Yun Jiuling beside him, who was glancing at him from time to time and seemed restless.

"You don't need to be so nervous. You're the owner of the house, I'm the guest, okay?"

Saying this, Bai Luo slightly propped himself up and moved a few centimeters closer to Yun Jiuling.

"Could it be that Big Sister you have ulterior motives towards me?"

Bai Luo blinked his watery eyes, his expression innocent, and his tone guiltless.

This sentence instantly struck Yun Jiuling like lightning, leaving her stunned.

She shook her head repeatedly, "I was just thinking if we needed to buy daily necessities, things like clothes."

"Buy a few sets of clothes and such."

Bai Luo propped his chin and pondered.

There were still a few sets of Taoist robes in his stomach pouch, but they were too conspicuous, so it was better to leave them for now.

"Also potato chips, chicken legs, chocolate, ham sausage, cola..."

Bai Luo counted on his fingers: "Hmm, let's buy these for now."

Yun Jiuling hesitated for a moment. Of course, it wasn't because of money; her savings were quite substantial. It was just that—

"These things aren't very healthy. How about we get something else?"

Yun Jiuling suggested tentatively.

Hearing this, Bai Luo grumbled discontentedly: "Who said they're unhealthy! You say, is bread healthy or not!"

"Healthy."

Yun Jiuling didn't understand why, but still nodded.

"Then are lettuce leaves and vegetable salad healthy or not?"

"Also healthy."

"Is fried pork chop healthy or not?"

"Healthy..."

"Then isn't that right? Isn't a hamburger just bread plus lettuce leaves and vegetable salad plus a pork chop! So do you still think hamburgers are unhealthy now?"

"Uh... this... it should be healthy, right..."

Yun Jiuling said weakly.

Although she still felt something was off, upon closer thought, it seemed there was really nothing wrong...

"Oh, right, also paper talismans, cinnabar ink..."

Listening to Bai Luo finish listing these things, Yun Jiuling fell into confusion again. If she could still understand the snacks and drinks mentioned earlier,

But what were these papers, cinnabar ink, and so on for?

Could it be for practicing calligraphy?

Seeing Yun Jiuling's confusion, Bai Luo explained: "It's not a big deal. It's mainly because there are too many evil spirits in your house; it's a bit noisy."

"Oh oh oh... Huh? Huh!!?"

Chapter 4: A World Full of Evil Spirits.

If someone else had said this, Yun Jiuling would have laughed it off.

But at this moment, these words came from Bai Luo's mouth...

Her gaze wandered around.

She kept searching for the evil spirits Bai Luo mentioned, while also moving a few steps towards Bai Luo.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Luo felt inexplicable.

"Didn't you just say there are many evil spirits in this house?"

Yun Jiuling's voice trembled as she tried to suppress her inner fear.

"...Oh oh."

Bai Luo finally realized.

"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can't see or touch them."

Hearing him say this, Yun Jiuling's tense nerves relaxed a little, but she still couldn't help asking:

"Then is it possible... that I might suddenly see them?"

"That possibility isn't zero, but the probability is relatively low. If you cultivate spiritual power or awaken the Yin-Yang Eye, you would be able to see them."

Bai Luo patiently explained to Yun Jiuling: "The first kind is okay, but the second kind is quite miserable."

"Why?"

Yun Jiuling asked.

Bai Luo shrugged and said: "If you can't see them, they can't harm you; they are like air to you. But if they discover that you can see them, they will attack you, tear you apart, or even eat you."

Yun Jiuling was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood on end, and she immediately cast aside the thought she just had about awakening the Yin-Yang Eye.

"Then, what do those evil spirits look like? Are they like the ones in movies?"

"More or less."

Bai Luo propped his chin and said after careful observation: "It seems like there are all kinds. Some look like ordinary people, some have hands and feet growing on their heads, some have very long necks, and some have their hands and feet reversed and crawl on the ground. For ordinary people, most of them seem quite terrifying."

"Stop talking! I get it!"

Yun Jiuling quickly interrupted Bai Luo, afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night if she kept listening.

She could accept going on an adventure in a haunted house.

She could also watch horror movies alone at home.

But she absolutely could not accept that there were really so many ghosts and monsters in her own home.

At this moment, Yun Jiuling only felt a chilling wind behind her, cold and eerie, as if something terrifying was hidden above her head and near her feet.

She couldn't help but move two more steps towards Bai Luo.

"How about... how about you come with me to buy them?"

"No, I don't want to move."

Bai Luo lay back lazily on the sofa, picked up the remote control, casually changed the channel, and flatly refused.

Yun Jiuling wanted to cry but had no tears, filled with regret.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have asked that extra question.

...

Half an hour later.

The door was opened again, and Yun Jiuling practically rushed in. It wasn't until she sat down next to Bai Luo that she finally managed to calm down.

After Bai Luo received the materials needed for drawing talismans, he quickly began to draw.

This was what he had learned from Reimu.

Although he hadn't reached the level of Reimu, who could draw talismans in the air with spiritual power, drawing a ghost-dispelling talisman was more than enough.

"Alright, done."

Bai Luo put down the brush and handed over the talisman, "Just stick it on the wall."

"That's it?"

Yun Jiuling was a bit confused.

"What else? It's not a difficult task."

Bai Luo looked at her strangely.

"Okay..."

Yun Jiuling took the talisman, got up and walked over. Following Bai Luo's instructions, she stuck the demon-dispelling talisman on a wall in the center of the room.

After doing all this.

She stayed there for a while longer until she confirmed that there were no abnormalities around, then felt relieved and prepared to leave.

Who knew, just as she turned around, she ran into a face that was distorted with pain and ferocity. She could even smell blood...

Yun Jiuling felt her whole body instantly stiffen, and a chill shot straight up to her head.

At this moment, she firmly remembered Bai Luo's words.

As long as she pretended not to see them, she wouldn't be attacked.

This strange state lasted for about three seconds. The terrifying evil spirit seemed to be annihilated by some force and vanished without a trace.

Yun Jiuling's legs went weak, and she collapsed powerlessly onto the ground, tears shimmering in her eyes.

After realizing what happened, she quickly ran back to Bai Luo's side.

"Don't worry, that evil spirit just now was the strongest one here. It only lasted a few more seconds and is now completely dead."

Hearing this, Yun Jiuling felt a little relieved, but she was still shaken.

"Are there really no evil spirits left in the house now?"

"Mm."

Bai Luo nodded, deciding it was better not to tell her about the even more evil spirits outside.

Yun Jiuling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, let out a soft sigh of relief, and slowly stood up, but almost fell because her legs were numb.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

Yun Jiuling gritted her teeth and supported herself as she walked towards the bathroom.

Bai Luo, meanwhile, continued to lie on the sofa, watching TV and eating snacks.
