A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

After saying that, Ibuki Suika sat back down happily and began to enjoy the food and drinks that had just been served.

I didn't get to eat properly today because of those mad dogs. Although I drank a lot of alcohol, I didn't feel good. I'll have to make up for it tonight.

Aya Shameimaru breathed a long sigh of relief; she had survived!

Once relaxed, the reporter's instincts kicked in again.

She began to subtly try to extract information from Okunoda Miyo.

However, Okunoda Miyo had already heard about Shameimaru Aya's reputation as a paparazzi tengu from Natsumi, and the previous incident with Niiwa Mamizo made her deeply aware of the consequences of being targeted by yokai at Minatotei, so she made up her mind to protect the shop.

Therefore, Okunoda Miyo started to keep getting Shameimaru Aya drunk, even going so far as to borrow Ibuki Suika's sake gourd and add some oni sake to it, determined to get her completely drunk and then use her abilities to erase this memory.

Beside him, Eryan Muzou, who had been observing the situation calmly, smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

She exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled meaningfully.

Around 2 a.m., the business ended for the night, and all three customers were satisfied.

"See you tomorrow night, Miyo~" Ibuki Suika swayed as she carried her sake gourd, waved drunkenly, and turned to walk out of the Human Village.

Tonight, I can just find a big rock to lie down on, and when I wake up tomorrow, I can continue drinking.

Seeing that she was going the wrong way, Miyo Okunoda quickly spoke up: "Miss Suika, Natsumi specifically told me today that if she sees you, she should tell you to go home as soon as possible."

"Xia Xun's house is over there, you're going the wrong way."

The tipsy Suika Ibuki paused, her eyes suddenly clearing for a moment.

She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and remembered what Xia Xun had said that morning and at noon.

"Haha, thanks for reminding me, Meixiao, I almost went the wrong way~" She chuckled and turned around, swaying as she walked towards Xia Xun's house.

"Then, then I'm leaving too. Goodbye." Reeking of alcohol, Aya Shameimaru's face was flushed. After waving goodbye, he staggered into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Youkai Mountain.

Miyo Okunoda watched her departing figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing her off.

Having disrupted her memories of Ni Tun Ting, she shouldn't be exposed now, right?

"I'll take my leave too, Miyo." Niiwa Mamizo waved with a smile, but his gaze followed the direction where Shameimaru Aya had left, and he grinned.

I've finally found a chance to report back to that damned paparazzi.

Meanwhile, a tipsy Suika Ibuki arrived at Natsumi's house.

Looking at the now silent house, her outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

At this moment, she didn't know what she was hesitating about. Was she afraid that no one would answer the door when she knocked, or was she worried that those words were just Xia Xun's casual politeness?

She couldn't resist taking another swig from the gourd, and with the help of the alcohol, she gently pressed her small hand against the door.

Before any effort was made, the door creaked open.

In the dark living room, Suika Ibuki saw a wooden box on the table with a note on it: "Dinner is in the box. Eat it if you're hungry."

Suika Ibuki blinked, walked into the house, and stared blankly at the note.

Then, she reached into the wooden box and took out the now-cold food, eating it in small bites.

She put down her chopsticks, stretched her small body, and suddenly smiled happily: "Hehe, I'm full, time for bed~"

She deftly kicked off her shoes, snapped her fingers to clear the dust off her body, and ran barefoot towards her bedroom.

Pushing open the door, I saw Xia Xun fast asleep on the bed.

After removing her outer skirt, leaving only her thin underwear, Ibuki Suika pounced on Natsumi with a "hey!"

"Pfft—!" Xia Xun, who was fast asleep, suddenly felt something bump into her. She looked up with sleepy eyes and saw a familiar little head pressing against her, with two large horns that were particularly conspicuous.

"You're back," he mumbled, adjusting Ibuki Suika into a comfortable position and holding her close before falling back into a deep sleep.

Ibuki Suika nestled in Natsumi's arms, listening to his murmurs, and chuckled softly, "Yes, you're back."

Chapter Ninety-Six: Suika, Let's Get Married!

【Spring 3.13】

Harvesting from level 3 to 4 unlocks the coal kiln and yields summer seeds.

"So heavy~"

As soon as Xia Xun woke up, she felt as if a sleeping orange cat was lying on her chest.

Although it was very hot, it made me feel overwhelmed.

He looked down and saw a pair of striking yellow demon horns sticking up high from under the covers, gleaming faintly in the morning light.

"So it was Suika."

Xia Xun suddenly realized that the blurry images from last night had surfaced in his mind. He recalled the feeling of being jolted awake by her, and his abdomen still seemed to ache slightly.

However, I feel that Suika Ibuki has suddenly become much more well-behaved today.

The first two times we were together, she was like a restless little wildcat, rolling around in her sleep, making it hard to hold her securely.

At this moment, she was obediently curled up in his arms, breathing softly and evenly, sleeping very peacefully.

However, this fragrance is really cute!

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Xia Xun couldn't help but quietly lower his head and gently kiss her soft cheek, then lightly inhale the faint scent of wine in her hair.

If it weren't for the fear of waking up the sleeping Ibuki Suika, Natsumi would have loved to get closer to this lovely girl.

She looks especially cute today.

The soft, smooth feel of skin against skin under the covers was incredibly pleasant.

Huh? !

Xia Xun froze, then suddenly realized something was wrong as their skin touched.

His gaze unconsciously moved downwards, revealing snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbones peeking out from under the covers, with a thin white fabric barely concealing the more important parts.

Not good.

Xia Xun clearly felt that her body, which was already full of energy in the morning, was now becoming uncontrollably restless.

The instincts of adult men, catalyzed by the warmth of the blankets and the body temperature of the young girl, are fiercely shouting out their desires.

Even his House of Lords is being rapidly bribed by the House of Commons, who want to start a new war.

Xia Xun tried to maintain his position as leader in various ways, but the House of Lords and the House of Commons had colluded and the application for a fight had been submitted to him, with both sides pressuring him to sign the document.

His breathing gradually quickened, and the hand that had been gently holding Ibuki Suika began to uncontrollably caress her delicate skin.

"Ugh~ Hmm."

A faint whimper suddenly came from her arms.

Suika Ibuki shifted slightly in her sleep, as if disturbed by something.

This soft moan was like adding fuel to the fire, making Xia Xun feel like she was about to explode.

He has now returned to his eighteen-year-old body, and has been enhanced by a blessing, giving him energy far exceeding that of an ox or a horse.

This morning's skill upgrade brought a full recovery of stamina, which is proclaiming that I am fully prepared.

"Xia Xun~"

Suika Ibuki suddenly opened her sleepy eyes, pouting with dissatisfaction: "What are you pressing against me with? It's making it hard to sleep."

She mumbled a complaint, her small hand instinctively pushing towards the hard object, the burning sensation instantly bringing her back to her senses.

Looking up at Xia Xun's embarrassed face, Ibuki Suika's lips slowly curled up.

"Hehe~, Xia Xun is being naughty~"

Instead of letting go, she deliberately tightened her grip, watching with a smile as Xia Xun's cheeks gradually flushed red.

Xia Xun, being bullied like this, is so cute that you just want to tease her a little longer.

As a member of the Oni clan, Ibuki Suika is never coy about her desires; the Oni clan's outlook on life has always been straightforward.

If you like it, then take it.

She awkwardly reached her other hand towards Xia Xun's waist, observing with great interest the changes in his expression—embarrassment, forbearance, struggle… every expression amused her.

"Wait, Suika!"

Xia Xun suddenly spoke, her voice already trembling.

"Oh my~"

Suika Ibuki's eyes were filled with joy, but then she suddenly blinked as if she had thought of something.

It's not good to get your bedding and clothes dirty.

She smiled slyly, then slid into the depths of the covers.

The next moment, Xia Xun was completely enveloped by warm, moist softness.

"Well--!"

He could no longer bear it, and his hands unconsciously pressed down on Suika Ibuki's horns, as if they were the only fulcrum.

Moments later, the wave receded.

Xia Xun felt that he had finally succeeded in purging the corrupt officials in the Upper House who had been bribed, and had successfully regained his power.

This moment.

Xia Xun felt extremely complicated.

There was joy, comfort, guilt, responsibility, greed, and remorse.

For a moment, he was unable to sort out his own emotions, but there was one thing Xia Xun was very clear about.

Now that I've got my hands on Suika Ibuki, I'll never let her go.

He watched as Ibuki Suika emerged from under the covers, swallowed her food with a gulp, and then stuck out her little tongue to lick the corner of her mouth as if she hadn't had enough.

"Suika." Xia Xun took a deep breath and solemnly asked, "Will you marry me?"

Suika Ibuki, who was about to lick her fingers, suddenly froze.

She looked up in astonishment, completely unprepared to hear such startling words from Xia Xun.

But then, Suika Ibuki shook her head: "No."

The expectation in Xia Xun's eyes dimmed instantly, and even the brothers who had just been shouting for another battle fell silent.

"Why...?"

His voice was strained, and his mind was a mess.

"Hum~"

Ibuki Suika straddled him, her face displaying the arrogant expression befitting a demon king.

She suddenly reached out and hugged Xia Xun's neck, kissing him deeply.

No!

Xia Xun's pupils contracted sharply; at that moment, she couldn't even think of anything else.

Hey, Suika, at least go rinse your mouth first!

With a soft pop, Ibuki Suika released him and laughed uproariously at Natsumi's vomiting spittle by the bedside.

"Haha, although the taste is a bit strange, it's actually not bad~" She patted Xia Xun on the back with a smile and teased, "Maybe I'll use it as a snack with my drinks next time."

"You man-eating monster!" Xia Xun couldn't help but growl.

"I am the Demon King!" Suika Ibuki brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes brimming with both arrogance and charm. "I not only want to devour you, but I also want to steal your heart."

She changed the subject, her smile revealing a rare seriousness: "However, as the Ghost King, I am also very magnanimous. As long as you have my approval, Xia Xun can marry other wives."

"Especially Xiao Meixiao~ I really like her, Xia Xun, you must marry her!"

"Ha...you bastard."

Xia Xun listened to her series of astonishing words and let out a long sigh.

"Although it's despicable, I'm actually quite happy to hear you say that."

"Hahaha, what's wrong with being faithful to desire?" Suika Ibuki laughed heartily, grabbed a gourd of sake from the bedside and took a swig. "It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines in this era, especially since you're someone I approve of."
