Chapter 457: Mount Fuji Hot Springs, the Goddess's Past

Soon, night falls.

The sky covering the mortal world is like a dark curtain spreading over the mountains and seas, with stars shining brightly in it, reflecting the lights of the world in the distance, like the moon in a mirror or the sky in the water.

And on the hillside of Mount Fuji, which is closest to the sky in the whole of Japan, the moonlight flows like water, dyeing the vermilion carved torii of Kobe. The shrine standing in the center of Kobe is neither big nor small, but the wooden houses have a sense of ancient solemnity.

The fallen leaves all over the mountain are fluttering and falling, but the breath of late autumn still lingers.

In the backyard of the shrine, in the open space surrounded by heavy wooden fences, soft lights illuminate the rugged rocks on the shore. The warm water splashes on the stone surface, splashing bubbles. In the mist, a human figure can be seen with half of his body immersed in the water, revealing only the outline of his tall and strong chest.

Li Re leaned on the rocks at the edge of the Fuji Mountain Hot Spring, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the warm water flowing beneath him. He couldn't help but exhaled and thought that even though he was now a silver-level player, this feeling of full body relaxation was still very good!

It turns out.

Even though they are called "human immortals" or "demigods" in many dungeon worlds, silver-level players are still human beings - perhaps some professional players who have reached the silver level have been able to cut off all emotions and desires and become extraordinary and otherworldly, but for Li Re, he is absolutely not immune to this.

It is no wonder that the gods in the mythological records of many regions behave like mortals...at least this is the case for most professional silver-level players.

He was so emotional.

At this moment, nearly five or six hours had passed since they left the Sanzu River copy.

After accepting the invitation of the "Goddess of Japan" Asama-no-Miya Miko during the day, he naturally entered the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine located on the hillside of Mount Fuji to rest temporarily.

But let's be honest.

There wasn't much worth seeing in this shrine for him.

Apart from the one "talisman" that had been used today and had to be temporarily sealed up for 'nurturing' in order to maintain the remaining power of Mokohana Yeji, it could not be shown to others, so Li Re could only wait two days to look at it. The others were just like ordinary shrines, except that they were a little older - there was no trace of ancient players, which was not surprising to Li Re.

It would be better to look at more mountains and rivers and beautiful girls to refresh your eyes.

But fortunately, it was quiet enough inside the shrine.

As the main shrine of the Asama clan that worships the mountains and rivers of Japan, Fujisan Sengen Shrine is not open to the public. Not to mention today's special time when the Asama Shrine Goddess specifically ordered it, even on ordinary days, the shrine is only managed by the shrine maidens who specialize in serving "Kokohana Yehime".

Before the arrival of the Paradise Era, even the powerful and wealthy could not enter here.

Quietness is a must.

Li Re can also enjoy his leisure time.

However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a natural hot spring behind the shrine!

Before this, Li Re had rarely seen hot springs. There was certainly no shortage of hot springs in the territory of Daxia, but most of them were located in the southern region. He had not been there often and naturally had no chance to experience them.

Getting here can be considered a dream come true.

If you think about it carefully, Mount Fuji is a volcano - it is normal to have hot springs near a volcano.

So after a simple meal, he came here to relax and soak in the hot spring - at the same time, he also dismissed those shrine maidens who tried to come to serve him and still followed Asamamiya Kamiko and did not betray her because of her unfounded "treason".

Well... in their words, this is called 'serving the gods'.

Even if they had not entered the double copies of Sanzu River and Huangquan together and witnessed his true power, his performance in front of the mountain gate alone was enough to make them worship him as a god.

Of course, Li Re’s refusal was not because he was tempted.

In fact, he was quite honest about his desires...but considering that these priestesses were not ordinary people, they were not even bronze-level players. If he were to arouse their interest, they might not be able to bear it.

If things don't go up or down by then, it's very easy for people to die - real deaths.

Instead of that, it’s better to just refuse.

And it's not like there's no one around him...

At this moment, there is a cool breeze on Mount Fuji, which is dotted with bright moon and stars, and ripples are created on the steaming water.

At this moment, Li Re, who was immersed in the water, stretched his body in the water. When his ears moved slightly, he seemed to hear bursts of noisy sounds.

Something pushed the water into the hot spring, creating layers of excitement.

Well...it's finally here.

With his eyes slightly closed and his whole body deliberately relaxed, Li Re blocked out all perception of his surroundings and immersed himself in the silence, and said, "Come here."

He opened his arms, as always without any avoidance or shyness.

However, the soft and close contact that he had imagined did not come immediately, and the figure sinking into the water seemed a little hesitant... Just when Li Re was puzzled as to why Xinggong Yue was so slow today, and according to her usual style, she would have come up to him immediately even if he did not open his arms.

The water began to ripple again.

The softness with wet traces also stuck close in an instant.

Li Re took the opportunity to put his hands up, and the sound of water splashing down seemed to be smeared layer by layer on the slender waist of the figure.

Then there are the armpits.

Yes...

And then.

Li Re seemed to finally realize that something was wrong.

“Wrong size.”

He opened his eyes.

What he saw was a pretty face with a slight blush, close at hand.

"Greetings, Lord Li Re."

The visitor leaning in Li Re's arms spoke like this, and it was not known whether it was because of shyness or the warmth of the hot spring, but her usually cold and aloof pretty face had lost all of its previous calmness, and her slightly opened red lips seemed to show a weak breath.

Li Re paused and was also stunned.

"Is Miss Gong Shenzi so enthusiastic?"

He couldn't help but feel happy.

The visitor was undoubtedly the highest chief priest of Sengen Shrine - the goddess Sengen Miyako.

After hearing what Li Re said, Gong Shenzi pursed her red lips. Although her face was ruddy and her breath was faint, she still said calmly: "This time is the time for me to change clothes and take a bath."

"It would be disrespectful of you to deliberately avoid it."

"And it was my negligence - those ordinary witches are indeed not qualified to entertain you."

"Besides that, you are also the person I will follow next... I will obey your request."

No, I mistook you for A Yue... Li Re squinted his eyes, he probably understood that he had caused the other party to misunderstand.

It's not just that I mistook her for A Yue.

It was also his own act of refusing the service of the priestesses.

This time point was probably the time when Asamamiya Kamiko usually took a bath...and his rejection of the shrine maiden might have been seen by her as a hint that he wanted her to serve him personally.

Although in the eyes of Asamamiya Kamiko, this is natural.

Since gods and Buddhas were the ancient silver-level players, 'Spirit King' Li Re was also equivalent to a god walking on earth - and the person she would follow in the future.

The latter is the point.

It was only natural for her to serve.

Even though she was unfamiliar with it.

Very anxious and nervous.

This was also a service she had never done before, and she would only do it for Li Re.

Although it was just a misunderstanding, Li Re did not explain and just laughed it off: "Calm down first."

Yes.

Not to mention that they were so close at the moment, even if they were far away, Li Re could feel the unrest in her heart just by listening to the witch speak.

The tone of his speech was completely different from usual.

A thin breath came out from between the red lips, even more charming because of the burning temperature.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Asamamiya Kamiko closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she seemed to really want to keep calm.

However, she forgot that they were pressed against each other at the moment.

He also forgot that Li Re's hands were still supporting his arms and slightly lifting the tender area under his armpits.

So she closed her eyes and tried to calm down.

Li Re became somewhat agitated.

The water in the hot spring moistened them, and the warm breath enveloped them. The two people who immersed themselves in the water together because of a "misunderstanding" were touching each other's skin. The figure of the witch supported by Li Re was completely exposed to Li Re's sight.

The girl's face under the dark red long hair is beautiful and pretty, and the hair soaked by the running water adds a bit of charm to her face that she didn't have before. The collarbone sliding down her slender neck is as delicate as jade, and the girl's figure as white as jade is also very amazing... The size that is usually hidden by the witch's clothes cannot be seen, and the contrast also makes her waist look surprisingly slender - it really looks like a jade bottle that is gathered up, and is placed in the arc that expands in the water... The place below is submerged in water and cannot be seen clearly. One can only vaguely see the tight and winding long legs that are bent at both ends of Li Re.

But you can't see it, but you can feel it.

Feel the impact of the water on each other.

Li Re, in his restlessness, finally couldn't hold back and raised his body.

After closing her eyes, not only did she fail to calm down, but she became inexplicably agitated because her sense of touch became even more sensitive due to the loss of her vision.

"Hmm..." She subconsciously opened her red lips.

Li Re, who held her waist, did not go straight to the point, but helped her stand in the hot spring, slowly pushing forward... using himself as support.

"It'll be fine soon."

He said.

"Ah."

Asamamiya Kamiko rested her head on Li Re's neck with her eyelashes trembling, her whole body trembling.

Trembling after trembling.

Then suddenly relaxed.

Li Re let her go——

"Okay, that's it."

He sank back into the water.

The eyes of the released Asamamiya Kamiko were slightly dazed. She also took two steps back, sank into the water, and let the water wash away the mess.

Is that it...

The witch's thoughts were inexplicable, but she just pursed her lips.

"- Excuse me!" She bowed in the water, and the curve of her back revealed by her slightly lowered head made Li Re's index finger move.

However, he just coughed lightly, his expression normal: "Let's not talk about whether it's impolite or not... You don't have to feel disappointed. Although I don't know how to control myself, I am still very responsible with my emotions."

"At least now, you don't have that kind of feeling for me - when you have it, it won't be too late to devote yourself to me."

"You don't have to do this for a little favor."

"Of course, there's no need to deliberately send Ah Yue away..."

"Sorry." Asamamiya Kamiko lowered her eyes again as she was soaked in the water. Her dark red eyes slightly concealed the expression within them in the soft light.

Her body was still trembling slightly, as if she was still in the afterglow of what had just happened.

However, the etiquette of body posture has been completely restored.

She said it very frankly.

The reason why the evil ghost girl couldn't come back was because of her - Gong Shen Zi led Xing Gong Yue to a room full of ancient famous swords, making this guardian spirit girl who was obsessed with swords become addicted to it and did not return immediately.

"What I want to say is... your methods are useless. To Yue, I am much more important than a sword!"

Li Re suddenly spread his hands, and then there was a loud noise, and another figure fell into the water and fell into Li Re's arms.

The evil ghost girl with long black hair opened her crimson eyes and looked at the frank witch lady opposite her.

The JK costume that she had not taken off became very thin and transparent under the warm water, and it fit her body tightly, revealing a different kind of charm.
