A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Alice and Okunoda Miyo immediately turned around, looking at Natsumi's strong body covered with light beads of sweat, and smelling the strong masculine scent in the air.

Her face flushed red.

"No, it's alright." Alice stammered, then fled in panic.

Miyo Okunoda suppressed her embarrassment and, after Alice ran out of the room, felt a strange heat rising in her body and couldn't help but tilt her head back.

Chapter 125 The Rabbit Who Delivers Medicine

It took a little longer.

Xia Xun got out of bed smoothly, tidied her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom with Okunoda Miyo.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Suika Ibuki sitting leisurely at the table, enjoying her breakfast with a contented expression.

"Hehe, you finally decided to come out?" Suika Ibuki waved to the two of them with a grin when she saw them appear. "I thought you weren't planning to go out this morning."

These teasing words instantly flushed Okunoda Miyo's cheeks, and she shyly glanced at Alice, who was also in the living room.

Xia Xun didn't hold back either, stepping forward and lightly flicking Ibuki Suika's forehead: "You've finished eating and now you're here to tease Miyo, huh?"

He then smiled apologetically at Alice, whose face was flushed with embarrassment: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Alice."

"It's alright." Alice shook her head gently, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to Okunoda Miyo, who had a sweet expression, and she vaguely guessed what might have happened in the bedroom.

A fleeting thought couldn't help but cross my mind.

Xia Xun didn't have mind-reading abilities, so she had no idea what strange things the little angel Alice in front of her was thinking.

He looked around, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Where did the umbrella go?"

"Master, I'm here!"

A joyful sound came from the courtyard.

Xia Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tatara Kouan holding her slightly worn Tang umbrella, standing in the drizzling rain, her face beaming with a bright smile.

"Let me shelter my master from the wind and rain today!" she said happily, her heterochromatic eyes shining brightly in the rain.

After a warm breakfast, it's time to get back to the busy workday.

Xia Xun stood at the door of her house, holding a small umbrella, watching the torrential rain, feeling that today was going to be a day to make a lot of money.

The rain not only helped us finish watering the fields today, but also made it time to harvest the first batch of lettuce we planted.

However, before that, he had to go to the garrison in the Human Village to fulfill his promise from yesterday.

Stepping into the rain, dense raindrops pounded against the umbrella, making a continuous sound.

Xia Xun could clearly feel the Tang umbrella in his palm vibrating slightly and emitting a faint warmth.

The umbrella even has a built-in heating function!

Xia Xun glanced at the Tang umbrella overhead in surprise, then looked back at Alice, who was being held up by a doll, before taking Ibuki Suika's hand and walking side by side toward the guard post.

Alice came here this morning specifically because of Xia Xun's promise from last night.

Although it was Xia Xun's own promise, she felt that as Xia Xun's magic teacher, she had a responsibility to accompany her on this extracurricular practice.

After traversing the streets shattered by the heavy rain, the two quickly arrived at the garrison post.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw the captain of the guards and several of his men waiting under the eaves.

Upon seeing Xia Xun and Alice appear, the captain immediately smiled and quickly went to greet them.

After a few brief pleasantries, Xia Xun got straight to the point: "Where is the injured person? Let's go treat their injuries first."

The guard captain quickly led the way: "They're all in the barracks, this way please."

Upon entering the barracks, a strong smell of herbs hits you.

The room contained several neatly arranged beds, covered with bandages, where young guards occasionally let out low moans of pain. Several people dressed as doctors were busy taking care of them.

"Hello, I'm here to deliver medicine again."

A somewhat weak girl's voice rang out from the side. Xia Xun turned around and found a purple-haired, red-eyed girl carrying a medicine box.

To his surprise, the girl delivering the medicine was not only wearing a Japanese-style Western high school uniform with a red tie, but also had a pair of rabbit ears on her head that were clearly decorative.

This kind of modern attire wouldn't look strange on any street outside, but it would be completely out of place in Gensokyo.

"Are you also an outsider from Gensokyo?" Xia Xun couldn't help but ask.

When he first came to Gensokyo, Hieda Akyuu mentioned that there were other humans from the outside world in the Human Village, but he had never encountered them before. He never expected to run into them today.

"what!"

The girl buying medicine was startled by Xia Xun's sudden question. She subconsciously shrank her shoulders and looked at him timidly: "How...how did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun's eyes lit up, and she said enthusiastically, "Hello, my name is Xia Xun, and I just arrived in Gensokyo from the outside world a while ago."

"How did I know? By looking at your clothes and outfit." He pointed to the rabbit ears on the girl's head and said with a smile, "Are you cosplaying a rabbit monster?"

"C, cos?" Upon hearing this, the girl pressed her hand on the rabbit ears on her head in astonishment, looking at Xia Xun in disbelief.

If it weren't for his self-introduction that he was the person the princess had asked her to find, Lingxian would have loved to jump up and punch Xia Xun right now.

Of course, this was just something she thought to herself.

Her gaze secretly drifted to Ibuki Suika, who was drinking from a gourd next to Xia Xun, and she immediately swallowed hard, suppressing her dissatisfaction.

How rude and disrespectful humans are!

Upon seeing this, the guard captain quickly stepped forward to introduce Xia Xun, saying, "This is Miss Lingxian, a disciple of a healer who lives in seclusion in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. She often comes to the Human Realm to sell medicines."

"These past few days, the village has been attacked by monsters, resulting in a large number of injuries. It is thanks to the medicine that Miss Suzuki brought that many people were saved."

Bell fairy?

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun suddenly turned around to look at the girl who looked very angry but dared not say it.

It's you, Shou Tu!

His gaze involuntarily drifted back to the rabbit ears on Suzume's head; so they were real after all.

Feeling Xia Xun's gaze again, Lingxian immediately raised her hand to cover her ears, her cheeks flushing even redder.

"Hello, Miss Suzume." As if she were a machine, Xia Xun pretended not to notice Suzume's anger, greeted her, and turned to ask, "Are all the patients here?"

"Yes, it's all here." The captain nodded quickly. "Thank you, Xia Xun."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun nodded and focused his mind to mobilize the magic power within his body.

Water purification technique.

Clear water emerged from the void, flowing around him and gradually forming a babbling brook.

To his surprise, he discovered that after the surge in his physique and vitality last night, his total magical power had also increased significantly.

Moreover, this is not the limit; it is merely passive growth brought about by vitality.

As he continues to meditate and cultivate, the enhanced magic will nourish his spiritual growth, which in turn will lead to an increase in magic, and the increase in magic will in turn drive the growth of his physique.

It is true that the left foot steps on the right foot, and spirals upwards.

Alice, standing next to Xia Xun, also noticed the increase in his magic power, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.

Xia Xun's talent is truly amazing; he has increased his strength so much after just one night of fighting.

Xia Xun continued to channel her magic until the pure water around her gathered to the limit of her current control.

He looked at the rows of sickbeds in the barracks, and with a sudden wave of his right hand, the ring-shaped water flow instantly split into more than a dozen thin streams, which flew precisely above each wounded soldier, and then exploded with a bang, turning into puffs of white mist that drifted down.

"Sizzle—" A faint burning sound rang out the moment the mist touched the wound.

The wounded soldiers initially groaned in pain, but as the mist seeped in, the demonic energy swirling in their wounds was quickly purified, their groans gradually subsided, and expressions of relief appeared on their faces.

This process is repeated several times until all the demonic energy in the bodies of the wounded is completely cleared.

Xia Xun then withdrew the magic. The continuous high-intensity spellcasting made him feel dizzy and almost unable to stand steadily.

Even a basic spell, when applied to dozens of people simultaneously, puts a considerable strain on mental energy.

Alice rushed forward to take his arm, her eyes full of concern.

Xia Xun waved her hand to indicate that it was fine, took out a snack, and started munching on it.

The sweet taste melts in your mouth, and the energy you've been depleting is quickly restored.

As he chewed, he pondered, thinking that once his mental strength reached a higher level, enabling him to support multitasking for extended periods, his future crop cultivation would be incredibly convenient.

He alone is worth more than ten people.

Chapter 126 Suzume, you don't want Kaguya to be disappointed, do you?

"No need to bother delivering it, this stop is fine."

At the gate of the garrison, Xia Xun turned around and spoke to the captain of the guards who had accompanied him all the way.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony."

The guard captain nodded upon hearing this, then took a heavy money bag from his pocket and handed it to Xia Xun. "Xia Xun, don't be polite, this is what you deserve!"

“I know you’re helping out of kindness, but if you don’t accept this payment, how are the other doctors who come to treat patients supposed to cope? They also have families to support.”

Before Xia Xun could even utter a word, the guard captain cut him off.

He glanced at the captain, but then stopped pretending and took the money bag: "In that case, I'll accept it. Thank you, captain."

"Haha, that's more like it!" The guard captain laughed loudly upon seeing this, and patted Xia Xun's shoulder forcefully. "Don't worry, our garrison is well-funded."

"We don't know how long this anomaly will last, and I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you quite often in the future."

"By the way, are you coming to participate in the defensive operations again tonight?" the guard captain asked again.

“Come on.” Xia Xun nodded without hesitation. He needed to improve his combat level through actual combat, so he naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

"Good! I'll save the spots for you from last night." The captain of the guard was very pleased to hear this. "Thanks to you and Miss Alice last night, the brothers were under much less pressure, and the injured could receive immediate treatment."

As the two were talking, a figure timidly peeked out from behind the doorpost.

Seeing that their conversation had come to an end, Lingxian quickly ran forward and bowed deeply to Xia Xun: "Mr. Xia Xun, hello! I have something I would like to discuss with you."

She looked up, her rabbit ears trembling slightly with nervousness: "My princess wishes I could purchase some ingredients from you. Would that be convenient?"

Looking at his weak yet earnest appearance, Xia Xun felt a strange sense of pleasure welling up inside her.

With a smile, Xia Xun replied politely and clearly, "I'm sorry, Miss Suzumiya, Stardew Valley Farm's production is currently limited, and we operate on a reservation system."

"If you need to make a purchase, please make an appointment with me in advance."

"H-How could this happen~!" Upon hearing this, Suzume couldn't help but let out a wail, then hurriedly covered her mouth.

She raised her watery red eyes and looked at Xia Xun pitifully: "Mr. Xia Xun, can't you really make an exception?"

"Ever since Princess Kaguya tasted the food you cultivated at the festival, she has been longing for it and has ordered me to bring the ingredients back this time."

"Please, please make an exception. Otherwise, I'll be forced to use this medicine by my master again..."

Wow, she really is an easy target for bullying.

Xia Xun watched Lingxian's expression change from disappointment to pleading, and felt that he was already quite full inside.

He knew when to stop and stopped teasing her.

Xia Xun looked enlightened: "So that's how it is."

"Since it's what Miss Kaguya wants, then fine. We happen to have a batch of lettuce that's ripe today, and I can make an exception and sell some to Miss Suzume. What do you think?"

"Sure! Of course!" Suzume's eyes lit up instantly, her rabbit ears perked up, and her gratitude was overflowing. "Thank you so much, Mr. Xia Xun! You're such a kind person!"

At that moment, she decided to completely forgive Xia Xun for saying that she was cosplaying a rabbit demon.

"Then let's go to the farm."

Xia Xun nodded, and holding the small umbrella, walked with Alice towards the farm.

Lingxian quickly slung her medicine basket over her shoulder and hurried after her.

Along the way, she would steal glances at Xia Xun from time to time, her heart filled with curiosity. She wondered what kind of delicious food could make the princess so fond of it.

Even after returning from the festival that night, she was still gritting her teeth, saying, "That damn turkey actually stole her cucumber offal soup."

On the way, Xia Xun would also receive a money pouch from the guard captain and put it in his backpack.
