Chapter 143 I Can’t Fall So Easily
"Please don't get me wrong."

Baijie was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained to Ayaka.

"It's freezing here and our clothes are soaking wet... it's best to take them off and dry them with this portable stove."

Originally, if his spiritual energy consumption was not too great, he could have used the Fire Luo technique to dry his clothes.

However, Ayaka is an ordinary person and does not use spiritual power to protect herself. Using the Fire Rajutsu directly on her will easily cause her to get burned.

"I see."

Ayaka nodded obediently.

She still trusted Bai Jie quite a bit, but she still felt a little reluctant about taking off all her clothes.

"It doesn't matter."

Baijie took out a black cloth and covered his eyes.

"Blindfold me like this, and I won't be able to see, and Miss Ayaka can take off her clothes in peace."

He knew that girls of Ayaka's age were quite sensitive about such matters, and it was obvious that it would be extremely embarrassing for her to be naked in front of a stinky man like him.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't cover your eyes."

Ayaka whispered, "It's come to this critical moment, I wouldn't be so stupid as to fuss over such a trivial matter..."

Having said this, she untied her belt with trembling hands, and the outer coat that kept her warm, as well as the apricot-yellow crepe kimono, were untied.

"It's okay. I've already asked General Qi Luo to set up the barrier spell just now."

After Bai Jie covered his eyes, he began to explain.

"Although I can't see, I can sense the wavelengths of spiritual energy around me and roughly judge the movements of surrounding objects... Of course, if it were Lord Ye Ming or a more powerful exorcist, they should be able to sense it more clearly—"

"Huh? Ha..."

Ayaka's face turned pale and she trembled slightly.

She clenched her fists.

"This, this also means..."

She took another deep breath, her face flushed as if steam was about to burst out: "No, whether you are blindfolded or not, you can see... me."

"No no no."

Bai Jie smiled and said, "I can only sense when something approaches, and I can identify its outline and size. I can also feel the movement of people's limbs, but I can't sense color. In fact, it can be said that I can no longer see..."

"Even so, it's already serious."

Her tone was panicked.

It is said that it is invisible, but it can be felt. This is what is called detection with spiritual power.

Although I don't quite understand it, but wouldn't it be possible to sense what's underneath someone else's clothes even if they're wearing them?

She shuddered.

According to this theory, aren't exorcists essentially spying on others every day? In their eyes, everyone is essentially naked.

"No, isn't this just wishful thinking?"

However, Ayaka still tried her best to calm her brain, and her face was very red.

"Ms. Ayaka, your body temperature has risen, and it seems to be concentrated in your face."

Baijie persuaded her.

"You're a little far from the fire. You'd better come closer and sit here to warm yourself. Spread out your clothes."

"Woo..."

After taking off all her clothes, Ayaka felt ashamed when she thought about her situation.

She couldn't help but sigh, but swallowed it back.

"never mind."

If you think about it carefully, the other person is not the kind of person who would think that way at all.

He is a sensible and steady person.

Thinking in that direction is clearly judging others by one's own standards.

"After all, he's saved me many times and helped me and my brother... When will I finally stop being so suspicious?"

She was sure she could trust this man and felt guilty about her petty thoughts.

call.

She exhaled, and because of the low temperature, the breath turned into white mist.

Ayaka picked up the haori coat again, put it on, and then leaned next to Baijie.

"Um...can I come sit here?"

She moved her body, almost sticking to Baijie.

"Because it's cold...it would be better if we got closer."

"is it?"

Baijie smiled slightly.

His natural smile made Ayaka's heart beat wildly.

She quickly lowered her head and looked away.

This person is really dangerous.

——Gentle people often cause misunderstandings.

She sighed inwardly.

At this moment, Ayaka finally understood why her brother, no, it should be said that her sister was so bewitched by him.

It must be an unconscious act of radiating warmth to those around him. For those who already lack that warmth, who crave it and are practically starving for the love of others, it is like a moth-lite, drawing them in and drawing them to the flame.

"Ye Ya, sister, and Miss Zhu Zi... it seems they are all like this." She murmured in her heart.

Apart from this, there should be other women. I feel that this man's peach blossom luck is not so simple. If he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he will definitely unconsciously attract women everywhere.

Ayaka is worried about her sister Yeming's future. If she really marries Baijie, she will definitely have troubles in the future.

"As for me, I won't fall into his trap... That's right, I can't fall so easily." Ayaka desperately warned herself.

She wanted to make sure her heart would not go against her will.

I won't like someone I shouldn't like without thinking about it.

"All I have to do is...protect my sister well and keep her as her back is concerned."

She seemed to have made some kind of decision and nodded.

……

Ayaka fell asleep on his shoulder.

Her breathing was light and she was snoring softly.

At this moment, Baijie could see the girl's profile, and her sleeping face was as peaceful as a child's.

"It's really hard for her today..."

He had no hesitation in rescuing Ayaka.

However, leaving aside his companions...what if it was Tucker or his daughter Lila who fell?

Baijie wouldn't be so saintly as to jump down to save someone.

Moreover, although Ayaka is not a member of the protagonist group and is not an NPC that can fight, her identity is also very important in the main storyline of the game - from a certain perspective, she is a stabilizer for Yue Jialuo Yeming.

Basically, she is often mentioned in the later part of the main storyline and is a very important person to the protagonist.

Not to mention, Ayaka is Ikki Kukutsu's sister, and her importance will also be reflected in the future plot line of entering Kyoto.

"After all, he's an important person, so we can't just leave him alone..."

Baijie shook his head and focused his attention on analyzing the next situation.

It is troublesome that rescue is delayed.

I don’t know how Ye Ming is doing, or whether the others have reunited.

"However, there's no need to worry about Lilaila and Tucker. On the one hand, Lilaila has clearly been exposed. On the other hand, I still have Zhuo'an and the other two. They are from the Shell Snake Clan and are more cautious. I also secretly warned Zhuo'an to be careful of this father and daughter."

Baijie must have a backup plan when he acts. He would never allow danger to happen. If Yu Men Tianchan and the fox girl had not suddenly appeared, his plan could be said to be foolproof.

"By the way, those two troublesome enemies also fell down."

Originally, the most dangerous enemy in the third-level underground cave is naturally the two-headed snake Abe Mimaru. However, as long as the battle plot is not triggered, it should not appear.

However, now even those in the Society of Beatitudes have fallen, and this is something to pay attention to.

"I hope we don't run into each other. We fell in different places, and there are many big frogs here, so it shouldn't be easy to run into each other."

Bai Jie looked at the bonfire in front of him. He applied cognitive interference to the barrier talisman. The effect of the barrier should last for a while. He had learned a lot from the barrier master Yu Jiao a while ago.

"Get some sleep."

Baijie decided to take a short nap.

He wasn't being lazy. In fact, with his current energy, it shouldn't be a problem for him to go without sleep or food for three or four days.

However, he must get in touch with the team as soon as possible, and to do this, he needs to "dream".

Baijie awakened his first Shikigami, the dream-eating tapir "Little Tapir".

"Little Tapir~~Wake up... Also, please help me enter the dream world."

He called out to his shikigami in a low voice.

The tattoo on his right arm began to move. The little tapir, which was a little bigger than before, shook its nose, and a light mist filled its body.

Baijie's consciousness was covered by a hazy fog, and in the blink of an eye, he entered a dream.

The world in the dream is filled with white fog.

In a trance, Baijie found himself in it.

While he was still wondering where he was, he heard an excited voice.

"Master~~~"

Before he could react, a figure fell from the sky and hit Baijie in the chest.

Click.

Bai Jie almost woke up from his dream with the pain of his sternum breaking, but in an instant, his neck was tightly hugged by slender arms.

"You've finally returned to my dream~~ Little Tapir, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

The little blonde girl laughed sweetly, put her arms around his neck, and almost spun her body around with his.

"Alright, alright... Little Tapir, could you please come down!?"

Baijie couldn't bear it anymore. The wound on his chest had not healed yet, and the pain in the dream was no different from the pain in reality.

"Hey...it seems like the little tapir is continuing to play with its master?"

The little girl pouted and puffed out her cheeks.

"Okay, come down first."

Baijie put her down.

"I'll play with you next time."

"Okay, this is what the master said himself, I hope you won't break your promise."

The girl who fell to the ground smiled mischievously with her blue eyes, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.

This is a little girl about ten years old, much younger than Ye Ya and Ayaka. She has golden curly hair and wears a white dress. She is a little girl as cute as an angel.

She is Baijie's Shikigami "Little Tapir". From the appearance, she has obviously European features, which can be said to be incompatible with Japanese monsters.

"From what she said, it seems the dream-eating tapirs of this world share some similarities with Western succubi... so the transformations of the little tapir after it grows up also have Western characteristics—"

However, this game "The Moon in the Dark" also contains many elements that are a mixture of different cultures, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Tapir, could you please help me connect to Lady Yuki Yashahime? I need a favor from her."

He told the reason why he entered the dream.
