Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Silently removing the sign, Yukino Fuyuki decided to end her work for the day.

Back at the apartment, the white-haired little devil didn't spawn, which eased Yukino Fuyuki's anxiety a little.

She went into the bathroom, washed her face with water, and then gently pulled aside her turtleneck sweater. Her icy blue eyes stared at the mirror, a transparent spider silk tightly bound around her slender neck.

Biting her lip, Yukino Fuyuki began to remove her clothes one by one: pantyhose, turtleneck sweater, and light purple undergarments.

When the shower was turned on, the steaming water turned into ice water as it flowed down Yukino Fuyuki's body.

A moment later, Yukino Fuyuki emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a yukata, looking somewhat weak. She slowly walked to the sofa, gently lay down, and her face still had the blush of her bath, as beautiful as the sunset.

"what do I do……"

Yukino asked herself in confusion, her fingers unconsciously reaching towards her yukata.

Chapter 109 The evil deeds of Mrs. Yukino have been erased by divine power.

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised. Please forgive any grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.]

Yukino Fuyuki is a snow woman.

However, she is slightly different from the snow women in traditional stories.

There are many legends about the Snow Woman, a subordinate of the mountain god who feeds on men's souls through kisses, and who will take the men she likes back to her cave and freeze them...

Ancient legends are often mixed with bloodshed, inspiring both fear and fantasy.

In modern anime and manga creations, the snow woman has almost become a symbol of praise.

White fur, blue eyes, loyal and beautiful...

Some manga artists have even created strange and bizarre comics featuring Yuki-onna as the main character, making Yukino Fuyuki's already meager wealth even more impoverished.

Hmm... she bought them all.

As for the reason, it is her uniqueness that sets her apart from other snow women, something she herself cannot explain.

Mrs. Yukino has a cold and aloof personality, is not frank, is sensitive, and has a prickly wariness towards strangers.

However, she also has good habits.

For example, regular work and rest schedules.

Just like three meals a day, Yukino Fuyuki never misses a meal while reading manga.

After meeting Jolyne, she was disturbed by various things and lost her regular routine.

Back to the present.

For some reason, Jolyne's figure suddenly appeared in Yukino's deep winter fantasy.

He claimed to be the new landlord, but rudely barged in.

And... he even scratched his own toes.

Recalling the heat of her palm, Yukino Fuyuki closed her eyes in embarrassment, forcing herself to stop thinking.

However, the things we try to avoid caring about are often the things we care about the most.

Jolyne's scent seems to be right beside me...

A few seconds later, Yukino Fuyuki's dazed mind suddenly realized something.

The scent wasn't just as if it were right next to her; she could actually smell Jolyne's scent.

Jolyne put down the cream puff she was carrying and said strangely, "Mrs. Yukino can continue, don't worry about me."

After Yukino Fuyuki was subdued by him, she naturally lost ownership of the room.

Jolyne just came down the stairs.

A burning shame rose on her face, and Yukino Fuyuki slowly tried to retract her movements.

"No... I'm not..."

After a moment, Jolyne released golden light from her palm, making the sofa dry again. She glanced at the silent bathroom and said calmly, "Mrs. Yukino, since you've already seen it, there's no need to hide in the bathroom anymore."

There was still no movement inside, so Jolyne sighed and prepared to open the door.

Yukino Fuyuki then replied, trembling, "Could you get me my underwear? I forgot to bring it in."

"where?"

"In the closet in the bedroom."

The bedroom was clean and tidy, and Jolyne found the clothes folded together in the closet.

Black, purple, and blue, as well as special lace patterns.

Jolyne picked out a plain blue dress for Yukino, who was in a state of extreme shame, and then knocked on the bathroom door.

A pair of fair and delicate hands reached out from inside, took the money, and then immediately withdrew them.

……

"That's how it is... It's because of my body as a Yuki-onna (snow woman), that's why... that's why..."

What followed was something Yukino couldn't bring herself to say. Rather than letting Jolyne know about her shameful constitution, Yukino Fuyuki wanted to explain her behavior earlier, as she wasn't some immoral woman.

"I know."

Seeing Yukino's wintery appearance, Jolyne was reminded of the taciturn widow, Yuki-onna.

They also searched for the cursed ring, but found nothing, which is understandable, since the ring that can control monsters was an offering at the shrine before the apartment was built in the original story.

And the apartment Jolyne is standing in now is not the one from Yukino's Fuyuki story.

Xu Lun opened the packaging, handed her the cream puff, and asked, "Want some?"

Yukino Fuyuki took it and glanced at it, somewhat stunned. This was her favorite thing. She lowered her head, regaining some composure, and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

The cream puffs were indeed very sweet. Yukino Fuyuki ate them in small bites, and even when a little cream stuck to the corner of her mouth, she didn't let it go.

After she finished eating a cream puff, she heard Jolyne's calm voice in her ear.

"It's time to get down to business, Mrs. Yukino."

The so-called important business is, of course, truly important business.

Jolyne wanted to get to the bottom of things after capturing the Yuki-onna on Sunday, but Yukino seemed determined to resist to the death.

Now, two days have passed, and Yukino Fuyuki has a better understanding of her situation and has calmed down.

Jolyne took the photo from the apartment under Yukino's struggling gaze.

In the slightly worn photograph, Yukino Fuyuki is seen cuddling with another woman, glancing at each other furtively as they look at the camera.

With purple hair and red eyes, a beautiful face, and a good figure, she doesn't have any particularly distinctive features overall.

"Who is this?"

Joren went to ask Xue, who was in the depths of winter.

Yukino Fuyuki said sadly, "She is Nanase Haruko, the demon who brought me into this world."

"Nanase Haruko?"

Jolyne felt a sense of familiarity, and after thinking carefully, she remembered who she was.

Compared to Nanase Haruko, Nanase Karin, and Steel Man Nanase, these two names are probably more familiar.

It is a fictional mystery about an idol who was crushed to death by steel bars, and after his death, he became a kind of urban legend created by imagination.

Nanase Haruko is her real name, while the last two are Jolyne's stage name and ghost story name.

"She's become a legend? An inhuman player?"

Jolyne noticed that Yukino Fuyumi used the word "demon" in her name.

Jolyne, a non-human player, has also encountered quite a few, including geckos, deer, and other oddities found in zoos.

Becoming a player's ghost story?

This was the first time Jolyne had seen it, although it seemed that the guy had disappeared again.

“Yes, Haruko is a demon.” Yukino Fuyuki nodded in agreement, then added, “But Haruko has never hurt anyone. Instead, she rented this apartment with me and is living a peaceful life.”

Yukino Fuyuki is a follower, after all, a Yuki-onna with such a strange constitution probably doesn't exist in the main world.

As always, Nanase Haruko became an urban legend in this world, and then a player, bringing her follower Yukino Fuyuki from other worlds.

"But if that's the case, who does Yukino Fuyuki's status as a widow refer to? Is it her ex-husband who was taken away, or Nanase Haruko?"

With this question in mind, Jolyne asked her.

Yukino Fuyuki blushed as she replied, "Before Haruko brought me out, I didn't have a husband..."

Because she is a Yuki-onna (snow woman), from her perspective, Nanase Haruko, who brought her into the picture, has already become her husband. With Haruko's passing, she also becomes the widow, Mrs. Yukino.

"So it refers to Nanase Haruko, who doesn't have a deceased husband, but instead has a deceased woman?"

This result made Jolyne's expression somewhat strange; no wonder Mrs. Yukino seemed so skilled just now.

Jolyne asked the final question: "So, how did Nanase Haruko die?"

Chapter 110 It’s night

Yukino Fuyuki's fingers clenched together. After thinking for a while, she hesitated before saying, "I don't know either."

"do not know?"

“One day, Haruko suddenly entered the amusement park without me... and now it has been two years.”

If we calculate based on the ratio of one day in the amusement park to one hour in reality, then two years without her return means she has been in the amusement park for forty-eight years.

Judging from Yukino Fuyuki's strength, Nanase Haruko probably isn't going to complete some kind of difficult Fairy Tail 100-year mission.

It's obviously abnormal that she hasn't returned for so long; no wonder Mrs. Yukino has already accepted that she's a widow.

Having said so much that had been weighing on her mind all at once, Yukino Fuyuki's eyes were already filled with tears. She bit her lip, trying her best not to let it all out in front of Jolyne.

Jolyne glanced at her; such low-level comfort was unlikely to have any effect, and might even cause Yukino Fuyuki to lose all interest in him.

"Nanase Haruko is a demon, and forty-eight years doesn't necessarily mean death."

Jolyne said those words calmly.

Yukino Fuyu lowered her head, the light shining through her hair making her face appear somewhat dim. Her voice trembled as she stubbornly insisted, "I stopped believing in such things a year ago."

If he had truly let go of the past, he wouldn't have waited in this apartment for two years.

Jolyne reached out and brushed a strand of hair from Yukino Fuyuki's neck. Her swan-like white neck still shimmered with a moist sheen after her bath, and had a cool touch.

Yukino Fuyuki wanted to escape, but found that Jolyne's hand moved towards the spider silk that bound her.

The wind blades carried on her fingertips tore through the spider silk, and Yukino Fuyuki's chill as a snow woman was about to burst forth and attack the man who touched her, but it was melted away by Jolyne's golden light.

Jolyne easily suppressed Yukino Fuyuki's power, and her golden palm touched Yukino Fuyuki's slender and delicate neck. After a few gentle strokes, the part that touched her turned pink.

"Why not trust my abilities and serve me as your master? If she is still alive, I will bring her back for you."

……

Mrs. Yukino continued to eat her favorite cream puffs in small bites, her mind preoccupied.

Yukino felt a tingling sensation on her neck from Jolyne's touch, and the pink tinge lingered, making her feel somewhat ashamed. Her reserved nature kicked in again, and she coldly and firmly chased Jolyne away.

But judging from the fact that she didn't refuse, she has already accepted it a little bit in her heart.

Given Yukino Fuyuki's personality, it would be impossible for her to do all this without spending a long time together, even if Jolyne tried to coerce or entice her.

The charm was already at 9 points, and the effect of the Yinluo Robe slightly compensated for that.

Yukino Fuyuki's basic charm prevented her from subconsciously developing a strong aversion to Jolyne. Otherwise, if Jolyne had asked about Nanase Haruko, Yukino Fuyuki would have remained silent and refused to admit it.

Although Yukino Fuyuki is a snow woman and not a ghost story, the effects of the Yin Luofu outfit can still be brought into play, making it easier to open up Yukino Fuyuki's heart.

For the rest, you'll have to rely on later guides.
