Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Even though Mingmei knew what to do, it was still difficult to actually do it.

"Is that so..." Bai Quanyi touched his chin, "A maid who works hard for her master, just thinking about it, is already..."

Miyano Akemi didn't say anything, but the blush on her cheeks became more pronounced, making her look like a red apple, so beautiful and tempting.

Bai Quanyi held back. After all, he was already a father, so he still had some self-control. He said calmly, "Let's have breakfast first."

Seeing Shiraizumi Masu and Miyano Akemi coming out, Yukiko glanced at them and said, "Akimi, why are you so slow? Did Shiraizumi Masu bully you?"

Miyano Akemi said: "No, the master is very good to me."

Ikebo Jinghua, who was feeding Ikebo Xiaojing with a bottle, said quietly, "Just call him Baiquanyi, Bai, and call him master, so that he won't get carried away."

Bai Quanyi said, "Yes, yes, yes... Just call me Bai Quanyi, don't call me master."

Huiyuan Ai said: "This morning's milk tea is delicious. Brother, try it."

Bai Quanyi picked up the cup and took a sip. The taste was smooth and silky, soft but not greasy, with a light sweetness. Made with high-quality black tea and freshly squeezed milk, the flavor was endlessly delicious, definitely not something you could get from industrial milk tea shops.

"Yukiko, did you make the milk tea? You're really good at it."

Yukiko said with a smile: "Indeed, I cooked it. The key is not that my cooking skills are good, but that I chose the ingredients well."

"Material selection?" Bai Quanyi was puzzled.

"Ikenami-chanji has endless amounts of freshly squeezed milk, and Tokyu Supermarket imports high-end black tea to make milk tea. You can't get it anywhere else," Yukiko said proudly.

224. Freshly squeezed milk

After hearing Yukiko's words, Shiraizumi Mashi glanced at Ikenami Shizuka who was wearing a loose kimono, picked up the teapot, poured himself another cup, and took another sip with a different feeling. It was really delicious.

Huiyuan Ai asked in confusion, "But, Aunt Yukiko...will Xiaojing's sister not have enough to eat? Will she be angry?"

Yukiko said: "Don't worry... Jinghua is just a big milk can, she will keep you full, right... Jinghua."

Ikenami Shizuka replied angrily, "Yukiko, you're also a mother, why are you talking nonsense?"

Bai Quanyi glanced out the window and saw the bright sunshine.

"The weather is so nice today, why don't we go hiking together?"

Yukiko's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, okay... Let's go hiking together."

Chi Bo Jing Hua declined politely: "I will take care of Xiao Jing at home, you guys go ahead."

Yukiko pouted: "Jinghua, aren't you going?"

Ikebo Jinghua said: "I won't go. Xiaojing is too young. I have to stay at home to take care of her."

Shiraizumi thought about it and felt that Ikenami Shizuka was right, so he said, "Then let's go. Yukiko, Akemi, Ai... Shizuka, I'll leave the house to you."

Ikebo Jinghua looked at Baiquan Yi lovingly and said, "Xiao Yi, you take them there."

So, the four of them went to climb the mountain in a hurry.

The three women all looked very leisurely, sometimes looking at the scenery, sometimes taking pictures with their tsundere sister. Haibara Ai herself had no interest in climbing mountains, preferring to stay at home quietly rather than go out to play. However, she was reunited with her sister after a long absence and wanted to play with her, so she happily went hiking.

So even though she had no interest in climbing mountains, now when she was held by Miyano Akemi's hand, she was able to put on a gentle and peaceful smile, and the happiness between her brows could not be hidden.

"There doesn't seem to be a hotel nearby?"

Shiraizumi Mashi has been paying attention to the environment since the beginning. According to what Fujimine Yukiko said when she went up the mountain, "Why don't we rest on the mountain today", he felt that this plan might be ruined now.

Huiyuan Ai said calmly, "Since we don't see any hotels at the foot of the mountain, it means there must be some on the mountain. That's how merchants can make money from tourists."

"It seems that what Ai said was right." Miyano Akemi's voice sounded at the same time. She pointed forward and said in surprise: "There is a temple over there."

"Temple? Well...temples should allow you to stay overnight."

The four people came to the temple, and the temple abbot received them. The abbot's beard was thin and long, and it kept bending and hanging down. At first glance, he looked like a human-shaped sea lion.

"His beard looks so weird..." The usually quiet Miyano Akemi couldn't help but lean close to Shiraizumi's ear and whisper in a low voice.

Ai Haibara looked at the old host suspiciously. The temperature today was not cold, so why was this person dressed like it was winter?

Fujimine Yukiko also felt very strange.

In short, the only thing that can make people feel comfortable in this temple is the beautiful waterfall reflected in the sunlight next to this "Mountain Mud Temple".

"Are you from the TV station?" After the old host made a brief self-introduction, his face looked very gloomy, and it was obvious that he was the type who hated reporters very much.

"No, we're tourists," Shiraizumi said. Yukiko smiled and added, "Actually, we're all here on vacation to hike. We weren't well prepared, so we chose a mountain with no hotels nearby. We had to search for a hotel on the mountain itself, and we didn't expect to see your temple."

"So you want to stay overnight?" The old host continued with a stern face.

"If possible, Mr. Host, please agree." Fujimine Yukiko smiled and took out her wallet. "Of course, we will pay."

The old host, who originally looked gloomy and scary, suddenly performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing.

He smiled and rubbed his hands. "Ten thousand yuan per person, and the temple can provide three meals. Although there is a phone here, it is only for guests of the temple."

"Swindler." Haibara Ai said softly.

Miyano Akemi pulled her and signaled to her sister with her eyes not to do this.

The old abbot was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled proudly and said, "Our Shanni Temple has beautiful scenery and a good location. There are also many monks in the temple. There is no need to worry about encountering bad people. I think 10,000 yuan per person is a completely fair price."

"We'll stay." Miyano Akemi was afraid that Haibara Ai would make more sarcastic remarks, so she quickly agreed with a smile.

Although the old host mentioned "high price" right at the start, he was still very serious about his work.

The two rooms assigned to Baiquanyi and his four companions were very clean. At least there weren't any cockroaches or bugs. The waterfall was visible from the outside. Waking up early in the morning to see the colorful waterfall reflected in the golden sunlight would surely put you in a good mood for the whole day.

Moreover, the old abbot specially selected a disciple to take Bai Quanyi and others to visit the temple.

At this moment, the old host's expression suddenly became serious: "By the way, since the guests have settled down in the temple, I have a piece of advice for you: don't run around at night."

"Why? Are there any wild animals nearby?" Fujimine Yukiko became interested.

The Miyano sisters also pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"Beast?" The old host sneered, expressing his disdain. "That thing is a hundred times more terrifying than a beast!"

Bai Quanyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Master, you are not trying to say that there are unclean things in your temple, are you?"

The old abbot's newly built-up emotions vanished, and he angrily said, "Your temple is not clean."

Miyano Akemi asked, "Please, host, don't scare people. There are children here."

Xiao Ai put her hands on her shoulders and said, "Humph! I won't be scared."

The old host coughed, and his speechless mood gradually calmed down: "The ancient monster that likes rain and darkness and specializes in capturing people's souls is the Mist Tengu. It happens to exist near this temple." "Mist Tengu? Can it be caught and stewed into a dog meat hot pot?" Bai Quanyi pinched his chin, as if he was imagining something.

Yukiko immediately refused: "No, I don't want to eat dog meat!"

Miyano Akemi said: "Besides, you can't catch Mist Tengu to make dog meat hot pot."

Huiyuan Ai agreed, "Young people in Japan now don't eat dog meat anymore. Brother, you're such an old-fashioned person. Only the elderly in Japan still eat dog meat."

The old host stood aside with a wooden face. He was now numb.

"Forget it. These people seem to be thick-skinned and can't be scared at all. Why should I bother with them? The world is so beautiful, I shouldn't be angry." The old host adjusted his breathing, fearing that he would accidentally get angry and faint.

So he quickly asked his eldest disciple "Kuan Nian" to take Bai Quanyi and the others away.

"This is my senior disciple, Kuan Nian. He's very eloquent, and I'm sure you'll all be happy with him as your tour guide."

The old host waved his hand listlessly, said this and left.

"Hello, let me take you to explore this temple." Kuannian smiled brightly.

"Thank you for your help." Miyano Akemi returned the greeting.

After walking around the temple for a while, Fujimine Yukiko suddenly noticed that there was a place similar to a room next to it, but there was no door.

"What is this place used for? Why doesn't it even have a door?" She walked over curiously and subconsciously looked up. She was surprised to find that it was very high inside. Looking up, she felt like she was looking up at the iron tower from below.

"This room is so high." Miyano Akemi also followed in.

"Dear guests, you..." The monk Kuannian followed hurriedly, with a hesitant look on his face.

"You seem to have something to say?" Haibara Ai squinted her eyes.

Kuan Nian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This is a training room. Any monk who commits a sin in the temple will be locked up here to face the wall."

"What about the door?" Huiyuan Ai frowned delicately, "Since it's a room facing the wall, how could it not even have a door?"

"I do not know about this."

In response to Haibara Ai's question, Kuan Nian shook his head with a strange expression, looking as if he was in trouble.

Miyano Akemi also noticed this, and took the opportunity to hold Huibara Ai's hand, saying with a smile: "Okay, let's go somewhere else."

Haibara Ai nodded with a blushing face. She still liked her sister's gentle voice very much. Every time she heard it, she felt like she didn't want to care about anything and just wanted to throw herself into her arms and act coquettishly.

Unfortunately, this is not her home, so she can't do that, otherwise the old pregnant lady named Fujimine Yukiko will laugh at her again.

"Then let's go see the big Buddha." Bai Quanyi responded with understanding.

"Okay, I'll take you there." Kuan Nian smiled again, and the strange expression just now seemed to be an illusion.

While visiting the Great Buddha, Miyano Akemi, a woman who rarely visits temples, couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of place should bring a sense of inner peace, right?"

Kuan Nian, who was standing beside him, chuckled and said, "Yes, isn't the purpose of temples to bring peace to their guests? By the way, our temple offers a one-stop funeral service. If you need any, please contact us."

Yukiko chuckled and said, "You're a step late. My ex-husband just died. Otherwise, I could help you with a business deal."

Kuan Nian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yukiko. "Since your ex-husband just died, may I ask if you are married now? If not, I will return to secular life immediately."

Yukiko's forehead was sweating: "No need, I already have someone I like."

As she said this, Yukiko hugged Shiraizumi Masu.

Bai Quanyi smiled and touched the back of his head: "Sorry, little master, you are a step late."

Kuan Nian's expression suddenly darkened, and he lost the patience to guide the guests. "You must be hungry too, right? It's almost dinner time, so if you don't mind, you can dine with us."

225. Pregnant Yukiko is so cute

This temple obviously does not have too many rules. The food is a combination of meat and vegetables, and the taste is light.

Everyone was chatting casually, and Huiyuan Ai suddenly asked: "Mr. Host, what exactly do you mean by the Mist Tengu you just mentioned?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the young monks present changed.

The old host was very calm: "It's just a boring legend from the past."

"I think it's more than that, right?" Haibara Ai pinched her chopsticks, her eyes shifting constantly. "You clearly brought up this topic on purpose just now, as if you wanted to scare us? Because if we're scared, we can stay here for a few more days, and the temple's income will increase."

The old host looked at Huiyuan Ai in surprise: "Are children nowadays so smart?"

"No, my sister is the only exception." Miyano Akemi touched Huihara Ai's head lovingly, "She is special."

Haibara Ai blushed and lowered her head without saying a word, fearing that she would not be able to help but act coquettishly towards her sister.

The old host sighed with a headache. "The so-called Mist Tengu is indeed a very old legend. It is said that it will sneak into houses like fog on rainy nights. It possesses terrifying power and can easily break through walls and capture people."

"And then?" Haibara Ai's emotions didn't fluctuate at all. What's the difference between this and the common urban ghost stories?

"Then..." The old host's voice became low, "It will take its prey to a high place and hang it up. At this time, it can eat with peace of mind."

"So it can eat people?" Bai Quanyi said in surprise.

The old host glanced at Bai Quanyi and said, "Of course they will eat people."

"It sounds interesting." Fujimine Yukiko laughed without any fear at all.

"Miss, the legend of Mist Tengu is not something interesting." The old host shook his head.

A young monk nearby also said with a pale face: "This thing may not be a legend, because a similar thing happened two years ago..."

"Ahem." The old host coughed quickly, signaling the other party to stop.

The other young monks followed suit, obviously worried that the other party would say it out loud.

Fujimine Yukiko watched this scene, and her curiosity finally caught up with her: "Is there some secret that cannot be told?"

The old host said calmly, "It's not a secret. It was just an ordinary incident that happened a long time ago."

"You call a death an ordinary case?" Bai Quanyi's voice suddenly rang out.

Now everyone turned around in surprise, and their eyes all fell on Bai Quanyi.

The old host asked excitedly, "How do you know someone died here?"
