They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Putting herself in her shoes, it would be somewhat impolite for her to be on guard.

"Let's go soak in a hot spring."

Ling Yu suggested to the group that they summon Tanjiro and Rimuru back from outside.

spa?

Upon hearing the word 'hot spring,' Alicia's eyes lit up immediately, even though she was still pondering where to go next.

She was immediately annoyed. Why hadn't she thought of that? Soaking in a hot spring was the perfect way to get closer to someone.

Fortunately, Ling Yu was there, otherwise we would have missed such a good opportunity.

So, secretly, Alicia gave Ling Yu a thumbs up.

It's as if it's saying, "You're a fucking genius."

"How about forget it."

As if she had just thought of something, Cui Zi's face turned red, and she tried to decline.

Soaking in hot springs? Isn't that like throwing yourself to the wolves?

She still wants to preserve her health for a while.

Cheng Lixue and the others seemed to have thought of something, their faces showing hesitation.

However, looking at the various bags in their hands, and thinking about how kind Alicia had been to them, they felt embarrassed to refuse.

That would be like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose.

They can't do it.

"Hot springs can not only help you wash away the impurities of life, but also accelerate blood circulation, relax muscles throughout the body, relieve fatigue, and improve sleep quality at night," Ling Yu said with a faint smile.

He seemed not to have heard what Midori said at all.

Ling Yu understood Cui Zi's worries.

But you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Since they were all women, he felt at ease.

Force is mutual; it's just a matter of friction. As long as you have enough allies, taking down Alicia won't be a problem.

"Wow, hot springs have so many benefits! I definitely have to go!"

Alicia agreed.

then

Through their back-and-forth banter, the hot spring trip was finalized.

"But where should we go for a hot spring?"

The second question was raised.

At this moment, Amber spoke up: "If you don't mind, there is a hot spring hotel under the Heavenly Mandate banner that I can contact for you."

"Then I'll leave it to you, little Amber?" Alicia said with a smile.

Amber nodded slightly, and then began making contacts.

Natural life

Far East Branch

With the opening of the imaginary space.

The group arrived at the hot spring hotel under the Destiny Group, which was connected by Amber.

After showing their identification, the group went inside.

At this time, apart from the designated service staff, there was no one else in the room; it had clearly been cleared out.

As the host, Amber, who invited everyone, represents destiny, so naturally he must treat his guests with hospitality.

"Wow, it's huge!"

The room occupies a fairly large area, so it feels quite spacious.

"Mr. Ling Yu, the men's bath is over there," Amber said softly, pointing in a direction.

Ling Yu nodded, looked at Qing Tan and the others, and said, "Don't soak for too long, it's easy to get dizzy. Contact me when you're done."

"Ling Yu, you too."

Qingtan and Alice waved their little hands.

Then, Ling Yu saw a blue figure follow Qing Tan and the others.

Without saying a word, Ling Yu pulled Rimuru over.

"What are you doing?"

Rimuru, who was suddenly pulled back, almost fell, but luckily he fell into Ling Yu's arms and didn't fall. However, he looked at Ling Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you always say you were a real man? What were you doing in the women's bath?" Ling Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze dangerous.

Rimuru was taken aback, feeling somewhat guilty and unable to meet Ling Yu's gaze.

He muttered to himself, "Didn't you say I was a girl? Why are you saying I'm a real man now?"

"A two-faced scoundrel!"

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing! I was just momentarily distracted and didn't react in time," Rimuru quickly replied.

She really doesn't dare to say anything harsh now.

Otherwise, slime could be used to scrub your back or as soap.

"Ling, Mr. Ling Yu, is Mr. Rimuru going to soak with us?"

Before Ling Yu could say anything, Tanjiro spoke first.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ling Yu asked.

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?" Tanjiro stammered.

Ling Yu was taken aback. Only then did he realize that Tanjiro's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

In an instant, an absurd idea popped into Ling Yu's mind.

Tanjiro, could he really be fooled by Rimuru's appearance?

Or is he gay by nature?

"Don't be fooled by appearances. Rimuru is asexual; he's just a little cute."

As he spoke, Ling Yu pinched Rimuru's cheek.

It's very soft and elastic.

Rimuru pursed his lips.

It's not like he wanted to be reincarnated as a slime.

However, seeing Rimuru almost in tears, Tanjiro couldn't listen to Ling Yu's words at all.

All I could think about was being honest with a cute boy like Rimuru.

Even knowing the other person is male, their face is just too deceptive.

Her body is still so slender...

In an instant, his face turned even redder.

"boring."

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Sesshomaru gave a cool laugh and walked straight inside.

"In short, just keep a calm mind."

Ling Yu patted Tanjiro on the shoulder and walked towards the bathroom.

He also wanted to soak in the comfortable hot spring as soon as possible to relax.

“Let’s go too,” Rimuru said, scratching his head and looking at Tanjiro.

"Okay, okay."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Aihara Ryu remained silent, unsure of what to say.

……

Comfortable spring water

Except for his head, Ling Yu's entire body was immersed in the spring water, and he closed his eyes to enjoy the warm current that enveloped his whole body.

The same goes for Sesshomaru.

Come to think of it, he had absolutely no recollection of the last time he had soaked in a hot spring.

The memory is from far too long ago.

For the first time in a long time, his heart calmed down.

With Ling Yu by his side, he felt relatively at ease.

After all, if Ling Yu can't handle an enemy, he can't handle one either.

At the same time, this was the first time he had let his guard down in front of others, something Sesshomaru had never experienced before.

Rimuru, on the other hand, transforms into a slime and drifts along in the hot spring.

Tanjiro also stopped blushing.

What truly embarrassed him was Rimuru's face and physique; as for slimes? He was genuinely indifferent.

"Hi, my friend, we meet again."

Just then, a flamboyant voice rang out from behind.

Ling Yu, who was enjoying the hot spring with his eyes closed, opened them and saw a familiar blond figure sitting down beside him.

The latter was shirtless, with only a white towel covering her crotch.

"How did you come?"

Ling Yu glanced at him, then closed her eyes and continued to enjoy the moment.

It's just a piece of green space.

Not worth mentioning.

"Hehe, I just heard from Amber that she brought a lot of guests back this time, so I came to visit while I was there."

"You won't not welcome me, will you? You can't do that, my friend."

Ling Yu: "..."

Are you Tatalia?

"The World Serpent is not an enemy of destiny."

“What they want to do does not conflict with your plan,” Ling Yu said calmly.

"Hehe, you're joking, my friend. For me, as long as the interests are agreed upon, there are no enemies."

“Besides, I would never lay a hand on my benefactor’s organization,” Otto said with a glint in his eyes.

“No need to test me. I’m not one of the World Serpents, but if the World Serpents are in trouble, I won’t hold back either,” Ling Yu said.

"That's really scary."

Otto smiled, but there was no fear on his face.

"Tell me, you didn't just come here to soak in the hot springs, did you?"

"You can't hide anything from you," Otto remarked.

"I have no interest in the World Serpent. Whether it's beneficial or not, you should know that what I pursue is only her."

"I have found the location of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, but it is guarded by a mysterious organization. If I am not mistaken, that organization is probably the World Serpent."

"I don't want to clash with it, so I came to you."
