Gensokyo, I, the slime, made them regret for the rest of their lives

Lingxian blushed slightly and tilted her head: "Is this too disturbing?"

"Why not? Let's go take a dip together."

"Hmm? Hmm!?"

Ling Xian's pupils trembled suddenly, and she was dragged by Bai Luo in a daze. It was not until she smelled the hot steam from the hot spring that she finally woke up and said tremblingly:

"Master Bai, Master Bai, is this not a good idea?"

"How can it be bad?"

Bai Luo tilted his head, a hint of confusion flashing across his golden eyes.

"Just... let's take a shower together, right? Wouldn't that be too..."

Bai Luo was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening and his face flushed.

He waved his fist in anger. "Nonsense! There are three hot springs here, and they're not all in the same pool."

After listening to Bai Luo's explanation, Ling Xian finally realized that she had made a mistake and apologized hurriedly with a blushing face.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Bai Luo sighed, "Forget it. Just go in quickly. There's an indoor hot spring on the left, an outdoor hot spring in the middle, and a changing room with yukatas in between. Just remember to hang up the sign after you go in."

After giving instructions on precautions, Bai Luo walked towards the hot spring on the right.

Lingxian patted her hot face, walked along the corridor to the hot spring in the middle, took off her clothes, changed the sign at the door to "In Use", pushed the door open and walked in.

A light mist floated in the warm pool water, and water flowed out from the mouth of a stone-carved slime, eventually falling into the water, creating layers of ripples.

As soon as she soaked in the hot spring, Lingxian felt that all the fatigue in her body was swept away, and all the pores in her body seemed to open up, and she felt indescribably comfortable.

"Mm~ so comfortable!"

Lingxian placed her arms on the edge of the pool, closed her eyes, feeling the warm and comfortable touch and temperature, and her body gradually immersed itself in it.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her rabbit ears, causing Lingxian to open her eyes wide and almost jump up.

"Master Zi? Why are you here?"

Lingxian looked at the person who grabbed her ear, and it was Yakumo Yukari.

Yakumo Yukari blinked, a smile on her lips: "Ah~ Xiao Bailuo is one of ours, so if that's the case, is there any problem with us coming to take a bath in the hot spring?"

Lingxian shook her head repeatedly.

Yakumo Yukari chuckled twice: "Don't be so nervous, don't believe what your master says, we are good people."

After saying that, she let go of Lingxian's rabbit ears, returned to her original place, leaned against a rock, and squinted her eyes comfortably.

Seeing this, Lingxian breathed a sigh of relief and soaked in the hot spring again, completely unaware of the gradually widening gap under her feet.

at the same time.

Bai Luo also took off his clothes and stepped barefoot into the blue hot spring in front of him.

Different from other hot springs.

The spring water here was replaced by his clone, the slime, which was like liquid and solid at the same time, flowing and squeezing slowly and evenly on his body. With the dual perception, it was so comfortable.

"Great Sage, please turn up the temperature."

Bai Luo was completely immersed in the water, and a lazy voice floated out.

【learn】

The great sage replied.

The temperature of the surrounding hot spring water rose rapidly, and Bai Luo felt even more comfortable than being surrounded by Lan Jiu's tails.

"thump--"

Suddenly, there was a sound of someone falling into the water.

Bai Luo stood up and looked around in confusion, but found nothing unusual.

"strangeness."

Bai Luo shook his head and immersed himself comfortably in the slime hot spring again.

Half an hour later, Bai Luo sat on the edge of the bed and used a hair dryer to dry Lingxian's wet ear hair. He noticed that Lingxian's little face was still red, so he reached out and touched her forehead with his fingers.

"Why is your face still so red? It's been so long, it shouldn't be like this."

Hearing Bai Luo's concerned words, Ling Xian's cheeks became even hotter.

"This is probably my first time taking a hot spring bath. I'm not used to it..."

"Oh, maybe."

Bai Luo no longer doubted it, but instead thought of something else and muttered, "Did you hear any noise just now? I was halfway through the bath, and it seemed like something fell into the hot spring..."

"Eh? No."

Lingxian was flustered and her eyes were evasive: "Maybe it's your illusion."

Return to Gensokyo: Chapter 25: Advancement to the Demon King

"You can sleep here tonight. The bed and bedding are new. Wait for Yonglin to come tomorrow and then go back with her."

Bai Luo pushed open the door and saw a clean and tidy room in front of him.

Before, Marisa and Reimu would often stay at his place and even occupy his room and sleep in his bed.

In desperation, Bai Luo had to clean up another room for the two of them to use.

Unexpectedly, when the Great Sage restored the Happy Cottage, he also restored their rooms exactly as they were.

But it’s also good this way, it just gives Lingxian a chance to sleep for one night.

"Excuse me."

Lingxian nodded, and just as she walked into the room, she suddenly froze as if she realized something.

"The master will come tomorrow?"

"Well, probably tomorrow night."

"Master, what's the matter with her coming?"

"Fight me."

Bai Luo said naturally.

Ling Xian was stunned. She rubbed her ears vigorously and asked again, "Master Bai, what did you say the master was here for?"

"Come and fight me."

Bai Luo answered again, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He didn't understand why Ling Xian asked twice.

Ling Xian couldn't hold it in any longer. She quickly asked, "Why did you want to fight with the master, Master Bai?"

The struggle between the earthlings and the moonlings?

Impossible, the master and the princess had already left the Moon City.

A power struggle between Eien-tei and Yakumo-residence?

This is also impossible.

If this is true, it should be Lord Zi who should fight against the master, why would it be Young Master Bai's turn?

Is it possible...

Lingxian's brain was working rapidly, and a possibility emerged, which was the only possibility.

All of this is Lord Zi's conspiracy.

Even if the master wins, he is still bullying the weak.

If he loses, wouldn't it mean that he can't even beat the young master of the Yakumo residence?

and so!

Regardless of whether the duel is won or lost, it will not benefit the master in any way.

Suddenly, Lingxian felt that she was extremely smart and any conspiracy or trick could not escape her.

As the master's disciple, Lingxian felt it necessary to stop all this. Moreover, judging from Master Bai's attitude just now, he obviously didn't know that he was also a pawn in Lord Zi's hands.

The master will show no mercy, and she doesn't want Young Master Bai to get hurt.

"Master Bai, I have something..."

Lingxian's voice suddenly stopped, and she found that Bai Luo had left the room at some point.

..

at the same time.

Bai Luo had returned to his room. Sitting on the bed, he looked at the 100% on his evolution value, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Because the cells and soul are almost collapsed, repair and evolution are divided into two stages.

This time, it is the second half of the evolution. Once successful, he will be officially promoted to the Demon King.

Bai Luo pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before finally giving the order:

"Great Sage, let's begin."

[Understood. All conditions have been met. From now on, you will advance to Demon King.]

The great sage responded.

As the great sage finished speaking, Bai Luo suddenly felt dizzy.

As he transformed into his original form, his body swayed and he fell down weakly.

At the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, a gap suddenly opened and caught Bai Luo, then opened again just above the bed and gently placed Bai Luo on the pillow.

...

nothingness.

Everything around me is illusory.

Bai Luo was conscious, but he could hear nothing, see nothing, and feel nothing.

The past seemed so long, yet it seemed like only a moment.

When his vision refocused, he opened his eyes and looked around, his pupils shrinking slightly.

This is an orphanage.

The familiar yet unfamiliar scene made Bai Luo dazed, with some scattered fragments flashing through his mind.

Sitting in the corner was a little boy, so thin that he looked like he would fall down with a gust of wind. His eyes were dull and his expression was confused. He looked lifeless and seemed to have no interest in the outside world.

Bai Luo's lips tightened.

The memory gradually became clear - that was him, the original him.

He should have had a wonderful childhood with loving parents and a sister, but unfortunately, everything changed drastically overnight.

Everyone died.

Can...

He didn't die, he just lost a hand.

A tooth mark was left on Bai Luo's tightly pursed lower lip.

Although I'm not dead, what's the difference between this and being dead?

Bai Luo wanted to touch the little boy's head to comfort his former self, but when he stretched out his hand, he only touched the air.

[Notice. This is the memory corridor. You are not real.]

The great sage reminded.

Bai Luo retracted his arm and hummed a ballad softly. The song was gentle and melodious, with a hint of warmth, which seemed to be able to dispel the coldness deep in his heart.

The little boy didn't react at all. Just as the great sage said, Bai Luo didn't belong here and didn't exist.

But he didn't care and continued humming.
