A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Before he could think any further, his mind raced, and the water shield on the left suddenly moved, blocking the direction of the sound source.

"roar--!

A dark shadow suddenly appeared! A monster with the face of a hyena but the body of a human pounced out from the shadows, its sharp claws carrying a foul stench as it slammed into the water shield.

With a muffled thud, water splashed everywhere, and the shield rippled violently, but did not collapse.

The monster missed its first attack, and the red light in its beastly eyes intensified. The veins on its arms bulged as it tried to exert force.

But Xia Xun had a chance to catch his breath.

With a flick of his right hand, a torrent split off from the water rings surrounding him, condensing into a sharp water arrow that shot out at lightning speed!

puff!

The water arrow pierced precisely into the monster's shoulder blade, drawing out a spray of black blood.

The monster howled in pain, then turned and tried to flee back into the darkness, abandoning its fight.

"Trying to escape?" Xia Xun's eyes flashed, and he pushed forward with his hands in a half-clenched fist. The remaining water around him suddenly boiled, creating countless tiny bubbles.

The next moment, a crescent-shaped solid water blade flew out of his hand, tearing through the air and emitting a low wail!

Swish—Snap!

The water blade struck first, flashing past the monster's waist and abdomen.

The monster's momentum hadn't stopped, but its upper body had already slid down at an angle, its internal organs and filthy blood splattering all over the ground.

The water blade, still brimming with power, swept past a low tree seven or eight meters away, causing the trunk to explode into a cloud of wood chips before bursting into countless water droplets.

hiss!

A series of gasps of astonishment could be faintly heard; it was the guards patrolling the area who had spontaneously come to protect Xia Xun after seeing him in battle.

After all, this is an important doctor; it's not just about my brother's life, but also about their own.

It's unknown how long this terrifying monster mutation will continue. Even though the Hieda family informed us yesterday that the Hakurei Shrine Maiden has begun investigating the cause of the mutation, it will still take time.

Watching Xia Xun's terrifying water blade attack, they instantly realized once again the immense power of extraordinary strength.

Unfortunately, they didn't have that talent.

The bookstore in the village has no shortage of basic magic books, and most of the children in the village will try to read them, but very few people have the aptitude to do so and can persevere.

Not only were the guards surprised, but Xia Xun himself was also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, he killed the terrifying monster that could tear tigers and leopards apart with a single water blade.

Feel the consumption of magic power; the training of the four magic systems forms a simple cycle, further enhanced by blessings.

Xia Xun could sense that the magic power consumed by this simple water blade attack could be recovered in a dozen seconds at most. Even if he condensed two water shields and a water ring at the same time, he could last for at least an hour.

Compared to the consumption of magic power, he found that the constant state of mental tension actually consumed far more energy.

but!

Xia Xun smiled. What a coincidence! Snacks at work can instantly restore energy.

Tonight, he will wreak havoc on all sides.

Xia Xun felt that tonight would be a fruitful night, and maybe he could upgrade Yan Dou's blessing to level 3 by tomorrow morning.

Even if she still couldn't have a real bayonet fight with Suika Ibuki after leveling up her physique by two more times, Xia Xun felt that the written exam would be much more enjoyable.

The future is promising, the future is truly promising!

Xia Xun felt his blood boil at the thought of suppressing the Demon King and severely disciplining Ibuki Suika with a stick.

Tonight, it's a fight to the death!

Several monsters surged out of the darkness once more, but Xia Xun had already lost all fear.

A surge of courage sustained him as he fought on despite his unfamiliarity with the task.

The bright campfires continued to illuminate the darkness surrounding the village in the night, and the fighting never stopped from the moment night fell.

One by one, the monsters that came from the Demon World to Gensokyo fell to the flames.

Chapter 124 You started this fight, and now you want to run away?

【Spring 3.17】

Battle level 1 → 3 unlocks: Health Potion, Stem Platter.

Boom!

Thunder and rain came from outside the window, and Xia Xun, who had just woken up, felt a cool breeze blowing in from the window.

However, he did not feel any coolness at all; instead, he felt as if his body was a blazing furnace.

Blood and qi surged, and energy was so abundant it was almost overflowing.

Looking at his combat level that had increased by two levels, Xia Xun raised his hand and slowly clenched his fist.

My knuckles cracked, and the power hidden in my muscles surged like a tide. I felt that I was incredibly strong right now.

He felt that his physique was now at least three times stronger than it was at the beginning.

Physical fitness is improved threefold in all aspects, and combat power is increased at least tenfold!

Xia Xun's restless gaze couldn't help but fall on Ibuki Suika, who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

The delicate, soft skin pressed against him without any gap, sending a thrilling sensation through him, making Xia Xun, who felt his fighting power surge, want to duel.

Having fought for so long last night, it was already late when she got back. Unable to keep her promise to return early, Ibuki Suika was clearly disappointed.

So, now is the perfect time to make up for it.

Anyway, it's raining today, so taking a day off won't be a problem.

Xia Xun found a reason to indulge in rest, and his hand gently caressed Ibuki Suika's waist, slowly moving down her spine.

"Mmm~ Hmm."

Ibuki Suika murmured softly in her sleep, her eyelashes trembling as she opened her eyes.

Her delicate face was still a little dazed, but she instinctively raised the corners of her mouth, leaned forward and kissed Xia Xun's lips, her pair of fair and tender little feet quietly curled up and nimbly reached towards his waist.

"Hiss~".

Xia Xun couldn't help but take a light breath, gently stroking Ibuki Suika's soft hair as she responded to the sleepy kiss.

Their breaths gradually intertwined, and warmth spread in the morning coolness.

As Suika Ibuki gradually regained consciousness, she blinked her large eyes and suddenly noticed the surging vitality and physique within Natsuki's body, which was several times stronger than before. A look of surprise immediately appeared in her eyes.

“Xia Xun has become stronger.” She tilted her head back, lightly licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, then turned over and sat up, straddling Xia Xun’s waist.

Feeling the heat and power emanating from beneath her, Suika Ibuki's eyes began to well up with tears.

Squeak.

"Hey, Xia Xun, Cui Xiang, aren't you guys up yet?"

"Alice, wait a moment, I'll go get them."

Suddenly, Okunoda Miyo's energetic voice came from outside the bedroom, and she began to walk closer.

Alice is here too?

Hearing the noise outside the door, Xia Xun was immediately startled.

He didn't expect Alice to come this morning.

Last night, Xia Xun fought the monsters until 1:30 a.m., almost exhausting all his magic and energy. He finally went home reluctantly.

Alice originally intended to take Xia Xun home first, and then go home herself.

Xia Xun felt this was inappropriate, as it was already late at night and he was making her return alone to her home deep in the Magic Forest.

So he asked Okunoda Miyo to let Alice stay at the Minato-tei last night.

As for why we didn't stay at the house, it's because this cabin doesn't have any guest rooms.

Xia Xun immediately prepared to get out of bed, but a pair of delicate little hands gently pressed against his chest, like a five-finger mountain firmly suppressing him.

"This is Xia Xun's fault~!" Looking down at Xia Xun, Ibuki Suika, her eyes filled with mist, said with a mad tone, "You promised to come back early last night, but you made me wait until very late."

"You started this again this morning, now you want to run away?"

"Extract, extract the fragrance~!"

Xia Xun lowered her voice and tried to struggle, but was firmly suppressed by that seemingly petite body.

He kept turning his head to look towards the door, where Miyo Okunoda's footsteps were getting closer and closer.

"However, I won't make things difficult for Natsumi either." Ibuki Suika smiled, revealing two sharp teeth.

Then, to Xia Xun's astonishment, her body began to mist and dissipate.

"Rainy days are perfect for laziness, but it's time to get up, or your breakfast will get cold."

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Miyo Okunoda walked in full of energy, looking happily at Natsumi, who was clearly just waking up on the bed.

His gaze quickly swept over Xia Xun's body, and her face flushed slightly.

Xia Xun's figure has become even better.

Wow, boys' penises get that big in the morning too! That's amazing.

"Huh, where's Suika?" After admiring Natsumi, Okunoda Miyo quickly looked for Ibuki Suika, only to find that she wasn't in the room.

Moreover, Xia Xun's face was flushed and her expression was stiff.

"Xia Xun, are you sick!" Okunoda Miyo sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward, pressing her forehead against Xia Xun's to feel his body temperature.

The intense heat seeped through her skin, and Okunoda Miyo looked up in alarm: "Natsumi, your temperature is so high, do you have a cold?"

"Yes, it must be because of the sudden temperature change last night that they caught a cold."

"Hiss~!" Xia Xun saw that Okunoda Miyo's expression had become flustered, and hurriedly said, "No, it's not."

He tried to calm himself as he explained, suppressing the pleasurable sucking sensation in his waist.

"Miyo, don't be nervous. I just had a breakthrough in my magic practice last night, and my body has become stronger."

Upon hearing this, Miyo Okunoda's panicked expression relaxed somewhat. Looking back at Natsumi's obviously healthy complexion, she certainly didn't look sick.

With a sigh of relief, Okunoda Miyo patted her chest and said happily, "Oh, I see. So, Natsumi, you've been lying in bed the whole time because your strength has increased so much that you can't control it properly?"

“Actually, I’ve been having the same problem lately.” Okunoda Miyo sat down lightly next to Natsumi and gently stroked Natsumi’s slightly sweaty face with her fingers. “But thanks to Ms. Niiwa’s gift, I might be able to protect Natsumi now.”

Speaking softly, Okunoda Miyo looked at Natsumi, who remained lying motionless on the bed, and couldn't help but gently lean against his chest, feeling his burning body temperature and his constantly beating heart.

Why does Xia Xun's heart seem to be beating faster and faster?

Miyo Okunoda, who closed her eyes and listened quietly to her heartbeat, was a little confused, but the shyness and joy in her heart made her want to stay a little longer.

On the bed, Xia Xun opened her eyes wide and looked at Ibuki Suika, who was vaguely appearing on her waist. At this moment, she was sitting on her waist, turning into a wisp of mist and moving back and forth.

Xia Xun could sense that she was extremely excited.

"Xia Xun, may I come in?"

Alice's voice suddenly appeared at the doorway, asking in a gentle and elegant manner.

At this moment, Xia Xun could no longer hold on.

Okunoda Miyo also looked up in surprise, and seeing Natsumi's strange expression, asked with concern, "Natsumi, what's wrong?"

Alice, who was outside the door, heard Miyo Okunoda's worried voice and couldn't help but push the door open and come in.

Her gaze then quickly fell on Xia Xun on the bed. Seeing his strong male physique for the first time made Alice feel a little dizzy.

But her worries still made her suppress her shyness and muster her courage to quickly walk to Xia Xun's side. She saw that he looked relaxed and his tense body had also relaxed.

Sniff~ sniff.

Suddenly, Alice and Okunoda Miyo both felt a faint, strange smell in the room.

Then it vanished without a trace in the cold wind blowing in from the window.

"Phew, thank you for your concern, I'm fine now."

Xia Xun let out a long breath, sat up, and spoke to the two of them.
