Gensokyo, I am a slime, everyone loves me

“Many of the items I’ve given you to devour during this time were comparable in hardness to Saigyou Ayakashi, or even harder, yet you devoured them without any pressure. Therefore, devouring the saigyou ayakashi tree should not be a problem for you.”

Chapter 69: Devouring the saigyou ayakashi tree.

“Devouring the saigyou ayakashi tree?”

Bai Luo rubbed his chin, stepped forward, seemingly in thought. After a couple of steps, he turned back and smiled, “I can do it, but afterwards, shouldn’t I get some kind of reward?”

Yakumo Yukari raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips, and said playfully, “How about this big sister of yours spends a night with you?”

“Huh, wouldn’t that just smell like an old person?”

Bai Luo fanned his hand in front of his nose, then gave Yakumo Yukari a look of disdain, “Besides, given your previous reaction, that would probably be the reward for you.”

A vein pulsed on Yakumo Yukari's forehead, and she almost couldn't resist hitting Bai Luo on the head.

She took a deep breath, forcing out a smile, “How many times have I told you, I’m a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl.”

Bai Luo originally wanted to retort further, but seeing Yakumo Yukari’s extremely unfriendly expression, he swallowed his words.

“I’m not joking with you. This matter is very important to me. Afterwards, I’ll grant you one wish. As long as it’s not too excessive, I will do my best to fulfill it.”

When Yakumo Yukari said this, her purple eyes were filled with seriousness. For her, this was the second most important matter weighing on her heart, besides Fantasy Land.

“Alright.”

Bai Luo agreed. He could gain a wish, the favor of Hakugyokurou, and perhaps even the abilities of Saigyou Ayakashi.

Killing three birds with one stone, why not?

What's more, taking a step back, even without these benefits, as a friend, Bai Luo wouldn't stand by and watch Yuyuko get into trouble.

Just as Bai Luo was contemplating, two slender jade fingers landed on his lips. Before he could react, a small purple ball was directly inserted into his mouth.

Bai Luo reacted, quickly stepping back a few steps. He smacked the unknown spherical object in his mouth a few times, and feeling the sweetness transmitted by his tongue, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Purple Old Woman, you’re not really a pervert, are you? You actually want to force-feed me. If you really want to… *Eeek!*”

Bai Luo was about to mock her, but without paying attention, a hand quietly reached out from a gap behind him and hit him hard.

Yakumo Yukari closed the gap and said irritably, “Stop being glib. Quickly try if you can absorb it. This is also one of the rewards I’m giving you.”

“Reward? A candy?”

“Candy your big head!”

Yakumo Yukari hit him again, but Bai Luo was already prepared and instantly teleported away. She said exasperatedly, “This is my origin.”

Hearing that word, Bai Luo froze for a moment, and subconsciously smacked his lips a few more times.

He looked at Yakumo Yukari suspiciously.

He suspected there might be some danger on this trip, to be so generous?

As if seeing what Bai Luo was thinking, Yakumo Yukari rolled her eyes and explained, “Don’t overthink it, I didn’t set a trap for you. I’m giving you a portion of my origin simply because of your ability.”

“Predator?”

Bai Luo tilted his head in confusion.

Yakumo Yukari nodded, “I’ve noticed that you can obtain the corresponding abilities of a species by devouring a creature, and you can even fundamentally transform into that species.”

Although it was a reward for Bai Luo, it was also Yakumo Yukari’s selfish desire.

Boundary Youkai are Youkai born naturally from the root.

For so many years, Yakumo Yukari had never given up on finding her own kind, but it seemed she was the only Boundary Youkai in the world.

She had a long life ahead of her and didn’t want it to be like this.

Ever since she discovered Bai Luo’s special ability, Yakumo Yukari had the idea and began preparing the necessary origin.

Even if it wasn’t because of Yuyuko, she would find an opportunity to let Bai Luo devour this origin.

“How is it? Can you devour it or not?”

Yakumo Yukari asked again, her expression slightly tense.

“Don’t rush.”

Bai Luo smacked his lips a few more times before finally swallowing the origin into his stomach.

[Boundary Origin Analyzing - Estimated two hours]

Two hours?

That long?

Bai Luo was slightly stunned.

One should know that the previous two times, analyzing the ender egg and creeper egg only took half an hour.

Furthermore, this time, it was not a complete individual being analyzed, but just pure origin energy.

However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed normal.

As an ability from the root, its complexity was naturally far beyond other abilities.

“It will take two hours to finish analyzing.”

Bai Luo waved his hand.

Hearing this, Yakumo Yukari didn't say much. She first took Bai Luo to the courtyard where Youmu usually practiced her sword, then entered the inner garden alone. After a while, she came out with Yuyuko and Youmu.

Youmu quickly ran over and asked anxiously, “Young Master Bai, can you really get rid of Saigyou Ayakashi?”

Her hands were on Bai Luo’s shoulders, and the force was so great that it made Bai Luo hiss.

“Sorry, sorry, I was impolite.”

Youmu quickly let go of his hands and bowed repeatedly to Bai Luo in apology.

“This matter is simply too important to Youyouzi-sama, so I was a bit anxious.”

Bai Luo shook his head indifferently. He could understand Youmu’s current feelings.

Don’t look at how Yuyuko often tricks Youmu, and Youmu often complains, but their relationship is not just a simple master-servant relationship.

“If Yakumo Yukari didn’t trick me, then there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Bai Luo replied.

Receiving a definite answer, Youmu was ecstatic, and even the marshmallow Half-Spirit beside her showed a humanized expression of joy.

Yuyuko floated over and stopped in front of the two, holding her head in distress, “Hmm… it’s too sudden. I don’t know how to thank Xiao Bai Luo. If only I hadn’t eaten that last peach yesterday.”

Hearing this, the corners of Bai Luo’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch a few times. “No need, I’ve already received my reward from Yakumo Yukari.”

Saying this, he added, “Besides, we’re friends, aren’t we? Isn’t it normal for friends to help each other?”

Bai Luo said this from the bottom of his heart.

Even without what Yakumo Yukari promised, he would do his best.

Yuyuko was like Yakumo Yukari, usually a bit tricky, but Bai Luo truly considered both Youmu and Yuyuko as friends.

Youmu was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes.

She almost pounced on Bai Luo, but the Half-Spirit had already pounced on him and burrowed into Bai Luo’s arms, looking as cute as could be.

However, Yakumo Yukari’s face had a few more black lines, “Then why did you still ask me for a reward?”

Bai Luo glanced at her.

“How can that be the same? I’d be embarrassed to ask others, but I absolutely must take it from you.”

Yakumo Yukari’s face had even more black lines. If it wasn’t for the fact that she still needed him later, she would have probably given him a violent whack already.

“Between friends? But Zi Daren has already given you a reward, and I want to give one too.”

Yuyuko’s gaze lingered between Bai Luo and Youmu. As if thinking of something, her cherry blossom-colored eyes lit up, and she waved her hand:

“How about this, I’ll pair Youmu with you, and you can sleep holding the Half-Spirit tonight.”

Chapter 70: Youmu, Let’s Trade Hugging Pillows.

“Youyouzi-sama! What are you talking about!”

“I’m not joking. I clearly think Xiao Bai Luo is quite good, and Youmu, you also like Xiao Bai Luo, isn’t that perfect?”

“But, but how can such a matter be so casual? Besides, Young Master Bai wouldn’t possibly agree.”

Youmu’s pretty little face was completely red. As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Bai Luo, only to see him looking at the Half-Spirit in his arms, seemingly really considering it.

Her already red face became even redder, and her heart pounded wildly. While nervous, there was also a hint of anticipation.

Bai Luo lowered his head and stroked the Half-Spirit in his arms, tilting his head slightly to look at Youmu.

“How about… we trade hugging pillows and try it for one night?”

Youmu was about to nod, but after hearing clearly, she was stunned and repeated uncertainly, “Hugging pillow?”

“I heard from Yakumo Yukari that you usually sleep holding the Half-Spirit. It can not only be a pillow, but you can also take a bite when you’re hungry.”

His golden eyes were filled with longing. Bai Luo could already imagine the scene of sleeping while holding the Half-Spirit.

Although the Half-Spirit was not as comfortable as his Slime hugging pillow, its strong plasticity made up for it. It could not only be a hugging pillow but also transform into the shape of a blanket to cover him.

For a moment, Youmu didn’t know how to react and could only stare at Yakumo Yukari with dissatisfaction.

Yakumo Yukari spread her hands, “Yuyuko told me that.”

Even feeling Youmu’s resentful gaze, Yuyuko continued to innocently eat the snacks Yakumo Yukari gave her.

Youmu turned her gaze back to Bai Luo, hesitated for a moment, and explained:

“I do sometimes use the Half-Spirit as a hugging pillow, but I have never used it as a pillow, let alone taken a bite.”

Can’t bite it?

Bai Luo’s expression was regretful.

“Then can I borrow the Half-Spirit to experience it for one night? I’ll trade mine with you.”

Saying this, Bai Luo split off a Slime, cut off the five senses connection, and handed it over.

“Slime hugging pillow?”

Youmu had heard Zi Daren and Youyouzi-sama discuss this hugging pillow many times and had always wanted to try it, but she was worried about being impolite if she asked directly.

A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but the Half-Spirit on her shoulder had already honestly flown into Bai Luo’s embrace.

Seeing this, Youmu’s delicate face flushed slightly, and she quickly took the Slime Bai Luo handed her, holding it tightly in her arms as well.

But she still reminded him uneasily, “The Half-Spirit has no taste, you can’t bite it.”

Bai Luo guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I’m not as shameless as those two. I’ll wash it clean and send it back to you then.”

After receiving the guarantee, Youmu’s mood relaxed a lot, and the soft touch in her arms made her feel happy.

“It’s getting late, let’s get down to business.”

Yakumo Yukari clapped her hands and stood up.

Bai Luo responded, “Let’s go.”

However, after taking just two steps, he found that the three of them were still standing in place.

“Aren’t we going to devour Saigyou Ayakashi? Why are you still standing there?”

Bai Luo asked in confusion.

“Didn’t I tell you before?”

Yakumo Yukari pointed to the withered tree behind Bai Luo, “This is Saigyou Ayakashi.”

Bai Luo turned around, his gaze falling on the withered tree where Youmu usually practiced her sword, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

This is Saigyou Ayakashi?

Saigyou Ayakashi, the world-destroying Youkai from three thousand years ago, would attract anyone who came near and lure creatures towards death.
