A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

"But I want to be Alice's mom!" Shenqi said with a wronged expression, blinking her eyes expectantly at the two of them: "How about Xia Xun calls me sister, Alice calls me mom, and you call each other 'darling'? We can each call each other our own names."

Just how persistent are you?!

Xia Xun couldn't help but complain inwardly. Not daring to look at Shen Qi's expectant face, she chose to remain silent and not interfere.

"This matter needs to be discussed between you and Alice, Shinki."

"Yay!"

As soon as she spoke, Shen Qi exclaimed in surprise and pounced on Xia Xun, hugging him tightly with joy: "Say it again, say it again, I have a little brother~"

Although he wasn't her son, Shen Qi was incredibly happy as long as she could become family with Xia Xun.

She created the world because she was afraid of being alone and wanted family.

Feeling Shinki's undisguised joy and closeness, Xia Xun couldn't help but smile warmly.

He deeply empathized with this feeling.

Just like that day when he became Xiaoling's brother.

Reaching out to hug Shenqi from behind, Xia Xun said softly, "Sister Shenqi, from now on we are family."

"Yes, from now on, Xia Xun will be my little brother." Holding Xia Xun tightly, Shen Qi looked up and said happily, "Big sister will take good care of you, little brother."

Click.

A faint sound of fists rang out, and Xia Xun felt a chill run through her body, her gaze quickly turning towards the direction from which the coldness emanated.

He saw Kazami Yuuka with a smile on her lips and a pair of red eyes staring at him.

"Yuuka, you're back."

Xia Xun was frantically calling the police in her mind, but she tried her best to maintain a smile and spoke quickly.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Yuuka is super angry.

The chill suddenly stopped.

Upon hearing Xia Xun's words, Kazami Yuuka's anger, which had been growing stronger because Xia Xun hadn't greeted her first, subsided considerably.

"Hmph, sweet talk." With a low snort, Kazami Yuuka beckoned to Natsumi, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you."

Sensing that Kazami Yuuka's attitude had softened, Natsumi's lips curled up slightly, and she praised herself for her cleverness.

Releasing Alice and Kagami, he glanced at the playful little fairies and then walked over to Yuuka Kazami.

"What is it, Yuuka?"

Kazami Yuuka didn't reply, but glanced at the Shanghai doll still sitting on Xia Xun's shoulder, then looked at Alice, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Reaching out and taking Xia Xun's hand, she turned and walked directly towards the courtyard.

"Alright, that's enough. Just come with me."

Through Shanghai's perspective, Alice saw the corners of Kazami Yuuka's lips turn up, and suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.

But Xia Xun didn't have that time.

Although he didn't know why Yuuka had suddenly contacted him, he now remembered what was most important.

Xia Xun quickly took an empty wooden box from his backpack and stuffed it with all the ores he had collected that day.

[Stone +2678, Copper Ore +968, Iron Ore +1368, Gold Ore +243, Quartz +86, Fire Crystal +13, Ruby +9, Emerald +6, Izanagi Substance +37]

"Little Umbrella, I'm entrusting the ore smelting to you!"

Chapter 231 Yuuka's Punishment Game

"Master, dinner is ready."

She gently knocked on the door, listened to the silent bedroom, and swallowed hard.

I was just inviting people to eat; I absolutely had no intention of peeping in the slightest.

Shrinking her neck, Shion looked nervously at the bedroom doorknob and quietly placed her hand on it.

Click.

With a soft sound, the bedroom door opened, releasing a strong scent of hormones that made Shion Ikami blush instantly, her slender legs rubbing together slightly.

"Ok?"

Kazami Yuuka, who was sitting on Xia Xun's lap with her legs crossed and was bullying him with her feet, turned around and frowned slightly when she saw the maid standing blankly at the door.

"Is there something you need?"

"Well, dinner is ready. I'm here to call people."

Shion Ikami felt dizzy looking at the scene in the bedroom. Her master was being trampled underfoot by the infamous Flower Tyrant, and the House of Representatives, which had raised its flags in an attempt to resist, was being ruthlessly suppressed.

The messy bed and the smell in the air in the bedroom told a story of how fierce the battle was. Shion even saw a Miss Alice doll lying next to Natsumi, with some marks on it.

"Have we gotten to this point already?"

Kazami Yuuka looked somewhat dazed, her crimson eyes fixed on Natsumi, whom she was using as a chair, and she smiled with pleasure at his tense expression.

With a slight effort from her feet, which were encased in wet white socks, Kazami Yuuka instantly made Natsumi, who had been resisting for so long, raise the white flag and surrender once again.

"Hehe, let's end this game here."

With slender fingers removing her white socks, Kazami Yuuka stretched out her toes and lifted Natsumi's chin: "If you bully Yuuka again next time, I'll come back and bully you even more."

After saying that, Kazami Yuuka stood up and waved to Ikami Shion, who was still at the door: "Come and help your master tidy up."

"Yes...yes!" Shion Ikami, who had been stunned by the sight of her master surrendering, was startled awake and hurriedly nodded like a quail, watching fearfully as the Flower Tyrant walked into the bathroom.

Call ~

It wasn't until Kazami Yuuka entered the bathroom that Iori Shion quietly let out a breath, but the scent she inhaled immediately made her face even rosier.

Seeing Xia Xun lying limply on the bed, unable to move, Shion quickly took a step forward.

Unable to resist scrutinizing Xia Xun's body from bottom to top, Shion looked at the marks on her skin and felt various images constantly flashing through her mind, causing her body to heat up uncontrollably.

Only when she met Xia Xun's somewhat dazed gaze did her small face show surprise, and she hurriedly said, "Master, Master, are you alright!"

"...Ah, it's Shion."

Feeling her mind go blank and her soul stolen by the enchantress Kazami Yuuka, Xia Xun suddenly came to her senses and forced a smile as she looked at Ikami Shion in front of her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just completely drained of energy."

As he spoke, Xia Xun tried to sit up by supporting himself on the bed with his hands, but the empty energy bar on the status bar told him his true condition. His arms trembled a few times, and he fell back down with a thud.

This scene terrified Yi Shen Zi Yuan, who quickly stepped forward to help Xia Xun up from the bed.

"Thank you."

Slightly out of breath, Xia Xun thanked Yi Shen Zi Yuan, and suddenly felt something wet in her palm.

Looking down, he saw the white socks that Yuuka Kazami had just dropped, but more importantly, the Shanghai that was vaguely visible underneath.

"Sigh, I hope it doesn't leave a psychological scar, otherwise how am I going to tell Alice?"

Scratching his head and sighing, Xia Xun couldn't help but recall how Kazami Yuuka had initially pinned him down and played with him relentlessly, then tried to come up and rescue him, only to be grabbed and played with along with him, eventually causing the little guy to faint.

Xia Xun carefully lifted the soft Shanghai socks off Shanghai's body, feeling quite embarrassed as she looked at the stains on the little guy's body.

I need to give this little guy a good wash later, otherwise if Alice smells something strange, Xia Xun feels she'll be too embarrassed to face her.

Also, Shanghai needs to keep what she saw today a secret.

"Ziyuan, help me to the bathroom first."

Xia Xun placed his hand on Shion Ikami's somewhat stiff shoulder and gave the order.

"Yes, yes, Master."

Her body trembled instantly as Shion felt Xia Xun's body pressed against hers and her intense scent, her cheeks burning intensely.

Before she could even help Xia Xun up with her trembling hands, the bathroom door opened.

After a quick wash, Kazami Yuuka returned to her bedroom, went straight to Natsumi's side, pulled aside Ikami Shion, and swept him into her arms in a princess carry.

"Again?" Xia Xun stared wide-eyed at Kazami Yuuka in disbelief.

He was a bit arrogant this morning, but he didn't try to wipe them out completely!

"I just wanted to take you to wash up." Seeing Xia Xun like this, Kazami Yuuka smiled and thought she was very cute: "But since you want more, Xia Xun, let's do it again later."

Without giving Xia Xun a chance to refute, Kazami Yuuka, under the dazed gaze of Ikami Shion, carried her master back into the bathroom.

With the click of the door closing, she felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces.

Waaaaah, my master~

It took a little more time and effort to wash up.

Fortunately, the revenge against Natsumi was over, so Kazami Yuuka no longer prevented him from restoring his energy through eating.

"Phew~, finally it's not sticky anymore."

Stroking Shanghai's smooth, long hair, Xia Xun lowered her head and sniffed it again. Apart from the scent of the shower gel, there was no strange smell at all.

Kazami Yuuka held Natsumi's hand, her gaze falling on Shanghai's rosy skin, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The two walked out of the bathroom after washing up.

The bedroom, which had been messy, had been mostly tidied up by Shion Ikami, and the girl dressed as a maid was making the bed with fresh sheets.

Although she had only been a personal maid for a few days, Shion's movements were already clean and efficient, and she was much more energetic than when she first appeared listless.

"Thank you, Shion. Let's go downstairs and have dinner."

Smiling, Xia Xun stepped forward and ruffled the girl's slightly curly blue hair.

"Hehehe, taking care of my master is my duty."

Smiling somewhat foolishly, Shion Ikami squinted her eyes slightly like a kitten, feeling Xia Xun's affectionate touch.

Actually, she also wanted to be lazy, to stay in Xia Xun's arms, to be gently cared for by him, and to spend her days lazily.

But ~

Looking at Xia Xun with her deep blue eyes, Yi Shen Zi Yuan felt a pang of disappointment. She was just a personal maid, not the mistress yet.

For Xia Xun's sake, and for her own happiness, she still has to work hard.

Once Xia Xun accepts her and she becomes the mistress of the house, she'll definitely be a lazy bum.

All you need to do is look after Xia Xun.

Chapter 232 Gold, a pile of gold!

【Spring 4.5】

Mining level 7 → 10 unlocks Super Bomb and Gem Replicator; Class: Gem Specialist - Gem Value +30%

At six o'clock in the morning, Xia Xun woke up on time and looked at the upgrade information that appeared in front of him. A series of knowledge appeared in his mind.

Besides unlocking two new items, he now feels he has a great deal of knowledge about gems.

With the gemstone she recently acquired, Xia Xun feels she has some ideas on how to polish and process it.

"But are mastering a skill really that difficult?"

Looking at the mining skill, which had also reached the maximum level but failed to reach mastery, Xia Xun couldn't help but sigh.

The first Star Fruit unlocked the skill mastery cap, but it looks like it will take me a while to master it.

"Wow, good morning."

A cute yawn came from beside her. Ibuki Suika rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Her body swayed twice, then she slapped her chest and gasped.

Good morning, Suika.

With a gentle laugh, Natsumi rubbed Ibuki Suika's cheeks, kissed her lips, and picked her up to wash up.

As the sun rises.

Sitting in the bedroom, which was gradually being filled with the morning light, Xia Xun held a comb in her hand and carefully combed Ibuki Suika's long golden hair, tying a ribbon for her.
