Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

As the gap completely closed, Bai Luo's curses mixed with wails also abruptly stopped.

After a full half hour, the gap was opened again.

"Huu~"

Yakumo Yukari let out a heavy breath, threw the limp Bai Luo onto a large bed, clapped her hands, and said with satisfaction:

"Trouble comes from the mouth. Remember not to speak nonsense next time."

After speaking, as if afraid that Bai Luo would cause trouble again, she turned and left directly.

As the door closed, Bai Luo scrambled up, rubbed his aching body, and cursed:

"Bastard."

"Shameless Purple Old Woman!"

Then, like a deflated ball, he fell back onto the bed and asked the air:

"Great Sage, tell me, what exactly is the situation now? This fellow just dumped me here and didn't even leave a word."

[Confirmed. Current location is Yakumo Residence, dwelling place of individual Yakumo Yukari]

"She tied me up and brought me to her house? What exactly does this Purple Old Woman want to do?"

As if thinking of something, Bai Luo shivered abruptly, "This fellow doesn't really have some special fetish, does she?"

Thinking of this, he turned over and got out of bed, deciding to escape quickly while this fellow was gone.

"Creak..."

Abruptly, the door was pushed open.

Bai Luo's heart tightened fiercely, and he lamented sorrowfully in his mind, how could she come back like this? Hadn't she heard all his complaints just now?

"Young Master Bai, may I come in?"

A gentle and pleasant voice came from outside the door.

"Hmm?"

Bai Luo was slightly startled for a moment, his gaze falling on the figure outside the door.

It was a fox demon girl.

Her fox ears were covered by the round hat on her head, but the nine fluffy large tails behind her made it easy to see the characteristics of a fox demon.

The girl's face was extremely delicate, especially her pair of watery peach blossom eyes, the corners of which were slightly upturned, adding a touch of charm to her originally pure temperament.

Like Yakumo Yukari, she also wore a Taoist robe.

It was just that Yakumo Yukari's Taoist robe was purple-gold, while her Taoist robe was white-purple.

The moment he saw these nine large tails, Bai Luo recognized the girl's identity.

Yakumo Yukari's Shikigami - Yakumo Ran.

"Young Master Bai, may I come in?" Yakumo Ran repeated.

"Come in."

Although he didn't know the current situation, Bai Luo still nodded cooperatively.

Getting permission, Yakumo Ran stepped into the room and gently closed the door.

She first scanned the room, and finally fixed her gaze on Bai Luo. Looking at the disheveled Bai Luo, a complex look flashed in her eyes.

Shock, surprise, disbelief... various emotions flowed through her eyes.

Bai Luo felt a chill from her gaze and couldn't help but shrink his neck:

"Is something wrong?"

Hearing Bai Luo's question, Yakumo Ran came back to her senses. She took a deep breath, then regained her composure, and said seriously:

"Young Master Bai, the change of clothes is ready. Ran will assist you with bathing and changing."

Chapter 3: The Little Master of the Yakumo Family

"Bathing... changing clothes?"

"It's not what you're thinking."

Seeing Bai Luo silently taking half a step back, Yakumo Ran quickly explained:

"Your clothes are dirty and somewhat damaged. You need to change into something clean!"

Bai Luo lowered his head and glanced at his clothes, then lifted his sleeve and looked.

There was indeed some dust on them, and some parts were damaged, making him look very disheveled.

After hesitating, Bai Luo nodded in agreement: "Then... I'll trouble you."

"No trouble at all, please follow me."

Saying that, Yakumo Ran led Bai Luo to the entrance of the bathhouse and handed him a set of clean clothes.

Bai Luo glanced at the clothes in her hand. It was a white and blue Taoist robe, embroidered with exquisite patterns.

"Thank you."

Taking the clothes, Bai Luo turned and stepped into the bathroom.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Yakumo Ran, who was still following behind him, his eyes filled with confusion:

"Is there anything else?"

Yakumo Ran shook her head and said:

"I'll help you change and wash."

Bai Luo was stunned, his ear tips slightly red. As a Shikigami, helping the master change and wash was barely understandable.

But what did that have to do with him!

She wasn't his Shikigami. If she was going to serve someone, it should be that fellow Yakumo Yukari.

She inexplicably brought him back to the Yakumo Residence and even had Yakumo Ran call him Young Master.

What on earth does this fellow Yakumo Yukari want to do!

"No need, I can do it myself. You go out first."

Bai Luo crossed his arms over his chest and sternly refused. He didn't have the habit of letting others help him bathe.

Hearing this, Yakumo Ran didn't insist either, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Ran will wait for you outside. Just call if you need anything."

With that, she exited the bathhouse, closing the door behind her.

Looking at the closed bathhouse door, Bai Luo finally let out a sigh of relief. Too many things had happened today, and they were too sudden for him to react.

He took off his clothes.

His fair skin was exposed to the air. He casually threw his clothes on the ground and stepped barefoot into the hot water.

The water temperature was very high. Soaking in the warm water was very comfortable, instantly making Bai Luo feel much better.

"Great Sage, what do you think this fellow Yakumo Yukari wants to do?"

Bai Luo muttered.

[Answer. Based on current information, there are three possibilities]

[1. The Fantasy Land great barrier is weakening, and individual Bai Luo is seen as a variable]

[2. Individual Bai Luo is helpful to Fantasy Land or herself]

[3. A whim]

Hearing these three possibilities, Bai Luo smacked his lips. He would rather it be the first two possibilities.

After all, if it were the latter, he couldn't resist a shameless old woman with no integrity.

Bai Luo didn't want to be, nor was he willing to be, toyed with.

"Forget it, I won't think about those annoying things anymore."

"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Let nature take its course."

Bai Luo shook his head, pushing these annoying matters to the back of his mind. He submerged himself in the water and continued to enjoy the rare hot spring bath.

Meanwhile, outside the bathhouse.

Yakumo Ran sat on a chair, propping her chin with one hand, her tail unconsciously wagging rapidly, frantically pondering the relationship between Bai Luo and Yakumo Yukari.

Don't look at how calm she was just now; in reality, her heart had long been a mess.

Half an hour ago—

After checking the great barrier and just returning to the Yakumo Residence, before she even had time to drink a sip of water, she received a task assigned by Zi Daren: to take care of the Little Master of the Yakumo Residence—Bai Luo.

Heaven knows how dumbfounded Yakumo Ran was when she heard this sentence.

She had never heard the name Bai Luo, and she had never seen such a person in Fantasy Land.

She knew her own Zi Daren perfectly well. Since creating Fantasy Land, she hadn't stepped out of the house.

Yet, completely without her knowledge, she suddenly brought back a Little Master.

Although she was puzzled, Yakumo Ran still nodded in agreement.

Perhaps, Zi Daren had her intentions.

In short, no matter what, as a Shikigami, she only needed to execute the orders.

However, when she walked to the door, her body suddenly stiffened.

A childish voice came out, and its content made her body tremble.

"Bastard*"

"Purple Old**"

"Shameless***"

....

All sorts of curses were endless. Just picking out one sentence was enough to turn her into a fox fur coat.

At that time, Yakumo Ran was already completely certain that the person inside the room definitely had an extraordinary relationship with Zi Daren.

Sure enough, when she pushed open the door, she saw a Little One with a delicate face sitting cross-legged on the bed, one hand clenched by his mouth, the other propping his chin, staring at the window full of resentment.

His hair was messy, his clothes wrinkled, as if he had been ravaged by something, like a bullied kitten.

Recalling this, Yakumo Ran looked worried. Was Zi Daren already so impatient?

She looked in the direction of the bathhouse and sighed softly.

At this moment, Yakumo Ran heard footsteps beside her, turned her head, and met a pair of golden eyes.

His hair was half-dry, and a towel hung around his neck.

Because he had just finished bathing, his originally fair little face was slightly red, his hair was dripping wet, and the tie at his collar was loose, revealing his delicate and small collarbone.

"Eh~"

Yakumo Ran sighed deeply again, looked at Bai Luo in front of her with guilt, and then stared in the direction of Yakumo Yukari's room with a look of seeing a pervert.

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing for no reason?"

Bai Luo approached, his blue flip-flops making squeaking sounds on the floor.

"Nothing."

Yakumo Ran withdrew her gaze, shook her head, then came before Bai Luo, tied up his collar, picked up the towel, and gently helped him dry his hair.

"Young Master Bai, do you have any preferences or requests for the food, such as taste or ingredients?"

"Just don't put carrots in."

Facing Yakumo Ran's hair-drying service, Bai Luo seemed very unaccustomed to it, couldn't help but look away, and lightly twisted the corner of his clothes with his fingers.
