A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Money +45600

The rattling sound of coins jerking him awakened him. Xia Xun was somewhat stunned as he stared at the nearly 50,000 yuan that had suddenly appeared in his account.

He hadn't expected the guard captain to give him so much money.

However, not only was the 10,000 loan from Xianglintang more than enough to repay, but the funds for the subsequent construction of the farm were also secured.

Stardew Valley Farm is in dire need of rebuilding and needs investment.

Xia Xun couldn't help but smile, and even her steps became much lighter.

The group of people walked along the muddy road and soon arrived at the farm.

Even in the pouring rain, the kappa's machines continued to roar incessantly.

Xia Xun glanced at the rapidly taking shape housing project, then walked towards the earliest vegetable garden.

The lettuce planted on March 5th has now fully matured. The 17-square-meter vegetable patch, washed by the rain, shows exceptionally tender and plump green leaves, full of vitality.

Just as Xia Xun was about to bend down to harvest the vegetables, she suddenly remembered her earlier idea. She focused her mind and used her water control technique to directly manipulate the surrounding rainwater into six arms, which she then controlled to begin harvesting the vegetables.

He was then pleasantly surprised to find that his assumptions were correct.

It's no different from Xia Xun picking them by hand; the ripe vegetables are simply pulled up and harvested, then put into a backpack.

Seventeen square meters of lettuce were harvested in just over three minutes under Xia Xun's control of six magical arms.

A total of 97 heads of regular lettuce and 38 heads of silver star lettuce were harvested.

Xia Xun was overjoyed, having successfully verified the feasibility of applying his idea to farming, which could greatly improve efficiency in the future.

Under Suzume's expectant gaze, he sold her 27 ordinary lettuce heads and 8 silver star lettuce heads, earning 420 coins.

The amount of nearly 50,000 gold coins he had just received from the captain of the guard was very small, but Xia Xun didn't care.

After all, Stardew Valley Farm is more profitable the longer it goes on, and what he is looking forward to most now is the day when the large number of crops he planted on March 3.9th will be harvested.

I glanced at my current cash balance: 47913.

Having bought the ingredients that Princess had been longing for, Lingxian was very satisfied. After bowing to Xia Xun to say goodbye, she quickly disappeared into the rain with her umbrella.

Xia Xun also packed the remaining lettuce into his backpack, intending to save it as ingredients for the banquet after the new house was completed.

The thought of satisfying Saigyouji Yuyuko's bottomless appetite made him realize that the task ahead was arduous and the road ahead was long.

Fortunately, it's the end of March, the harvest season.

Tomorrow, the cucumbers and strawberries planted on 3.5 that were ripened by the fairy will be harvested again. Two days later, the potatoes planted on 3.2 will all be ripe. When the house is built, the cucumbers will ripen again.

Xia Xun had already made her decision to go to Lake Mist to specialize in fishing.

While harvesting a large amount of food, it can also provide funds for the subsequent construction of the farm.

"Alice, I'm planning to go fishing at Lake of Mist next." Xia Xun looked at Alice, who had been keeping him company all morning, and asked, "Are you coming?"

"Fishing?" Alice looked up at the gray sky and shook her head slightly.

She didn't particularly like going out on rainy days; Alice preferred to stay quietly in her study reading or making dolls in such weather.

"Remember to read the magic book I gave you; I'll be checking on you occasionally." After giving these earnest instructions, Alice nodded to Ibuki Suika and flew towards her home in the Magic Forest, guarded by Hourai and Shanghai.

Alice plans to give the three fairy dolls to Xia Xun and Sunny at Xia Xun's housewarming party. The dolls are almost finished.

Chapter 127 Remember, you are the loser.

Rumble.

The torrential rain poured down, and the already simple igloo by the misty lake was now even more dilapidated.

Broken icicles were scattered all over the ground, quickly melting away under the rain, leaving only a mess.

Cirno stood before the ruins of her home, the rain soaking her icy blue short hair and wings, but unable to extinguish the flames that seemed to burst forth from her eyes.

Her gaze was fixed on the very center of the igloo ruins.

There, a small flag with a simple sketch of three fairies was arrogantly stuck in the mud, with a challenge letter written in crooked handwriting pressed down on the bottom of the flag.

"These cowards dared to launch a sneak attack while we were away and even left a challenge."

"Since you want war, then we won't hold back!" Cirno clenched her little fists, looking at the lightning flashing in the sky with a determined gaze.

"The war of the fairies is about to begin!"

Quack quack.

A frog was passing by when it was frozen by the escaping cold air and fell into the water with a splash.

The Ice Fairy, the mastermind behind all this, has embarked on her journey to punish the traitor.

"Cirno-chan! Wait! Don't be so impulsive!" The Great Fairy fluttered its wings anxiously as it chased after them.

She had absolutely no idea how things had suddenly turned out this way.

They finally managed to find Cirno, who had gotten lost while training her powers, only to have their house demolished and this blatant provocation left behind.

She watched Cirno's imposing figure fly towards the Enchanted Forest, and could only sigh helplessly before hurrying after her.

Two small figures, one after the other, broke through the thick rain curtain and disappeared in the direction of the magic forest.

"what?"

Xia Xun, who had just arrived at Lake of Mist, stopped and reached out to remove a snowflake from her forehead.

It's snowing?

Staring in astonishment, he looked up at the sky and saw Cirno and the Great Fairy flying overhead.

"So the Ice Fairy appears even on rainy days," Suika Ibuki muttered, looking up at the sky with some surprise.

"I wonder how Sunny and the others' visit went yesterday." Xia Xun sighed with some regret as she watched their figures disappear into the distance.

He had originally thought that if the three little fairies, Sunny, Star, and Luna, successfully completed their task of comforting Cirno and cleared up the previous misunderstanding, he could then naturally apologize today and put the matter to rest.

"There's nothing we can do now, we'll have to do it another day."

Shaking her head, Xia Xun put the idea aside and began searching for a fishing spot along the shore of Lake Mist.

Having learned his lesson, he made sure to avoid the direction of Cirno's house this time to prevent any further misunderstandings.

Soon, Xia Xun found an ideal spot at the mouth of a bay overgrown with reeds.

He took out an empty wooden box, sat down, and began to process the earthworms he had just bought from the fish shop that morning into worm meat.

A total of 563 earthworms were transformed into pink fish bait in the blink of an eye.

Xia Xun then added all the bait to the empty fishing rod and cast the hook into the water.

A fishing mini-game pops up.

"Haah~"

Suika Ibuki rested her chin on her hand, sitting on the wooden box next to Natsumi, watching him repeat the actions of casting, waiting, and reeling in with utter boredom, completely unable to understand what fun it was.

She swung her legs, leaned back slightly against Xia Xun's broad back, looked up at the dark sky, and occasionally raised the gourd in her hand to gulp down a mouthful of wine.

Time passed quietly in this peaceful atmosphere.

Until, Ibuki Suika suddenly sensed a familiar demonic aura.

"Haha, here we go again!"

The languid voice suddenly rose, filled with undisguised excitement, and Ibuki Suika abruptly looked up into the distance.

Through the misty rain, a figure carrying a white parasol is walking gracefully step by step.

A fierce fighting spirit instantly ignited in Suika Ibuki's eyes. Fishing was so boring; all she wanted now was to have a good fight with this rare and formidable opponent!

"What, again?"

Xia Xun, who had just caught a large, fat catfish, heard Ibuki Suika's voice behind him and turned around in confusion.

The next second, he was so startled that he almost dropped the fishing rod in his hand.

Damn, it's happening again!

"Ha, haha, Miss Yuuka, what a coincidence!" Xia Xun chuckled twice, trying to make his voice sound natural: "Are you here for a stroll at Lake Mist?"

Kazami Yuuka stopped a few steps away from him, her pure white umbrella slightly raised, revealing a face that was as delicate as a doll, yet carried a strong sense of oppression.

Her bright red eyes were fixed on Xia Xun, and a faint smile curved her lips, sending a chill down Xia Xun's spine.

“No,” Kazami Yuuka’s voice was clear and straightforward, penetrating the sound of rain with its distinct tone, “I came here specifically to see you.”

Xia Xun's smile froze instantly.

Kazami Yuuka watched with great interest the subtle changes on his face caused by her—the momentary tension, the hidden fear, and the forced composure.

Every emotion stirred within her a slightly wicked desire.

So cute! So cute! I want to take it home!

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the Demon King beside her, whose face was already filled with fighting spirit. Kazami Yuuka smiled slightly, but her tone became even gentler and more melodious: "Didn't I say yesterday that I want to get to know you better, and then become friends with you, Natsumi?"

As she spoke, Kazami Yuuka came to Natsumi's side, lightly touching the tip of her parasol to the damp mud.

A tiny green shoot broke through the soil and then grew and stretched wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The broad, thick leaves spread out in layers, like a natural canopy to shield the falling rain, while the supple branches intertwine and coil, instantly forming a comfortable rattan chair.

Kazami Yuuka gracefully sat down next to Natsumi.

She turned to the side, rested her chin on her hand, and gazed at him with a focused and gentle smile.

At that moment, both Natsumi and Ibuki Suika felt ants crawling on their bodies.

"Hey! I told you not to lay a hand on Natsumi!" Suika Ibuki finally couldn't hold back any longer. She rushed up to Yuuka Kazami, pointed her little finger at her, and said angrily, "If you want to get Natsumi, you'll have to get past me first!"

She clenched her small fists, and a faint sense of pressure began to emanate from her body, her face showing eagerness to try.

“But I didn’t lay a hand on him.” Kazami Yuuka glanced back at Ibuki Suika before turning her gaze back to Natsumi. “I was keeping my promise; I was just trying to become friends with him.”

"Damn it!"

Hearing the exasperated voice of the short man behind her, she couldn't help but smile.

Suika Ibuki stared huffingly at Yuuka Kazami, who had a delighted expression on her face, her little fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

In the end, she could only hang her head in dejection, sigh, and as if her spine had been removed, she went straight to Xia Xun and collapsed into his arms, starting to rub against him and act coquettishly.

Just when things were finally getting interesting, they're gone again!

Xia Xun, who was originally feeling uncomfortable under Kazami Yuuka's gaze, quickly hugged Ibuki Suika, who was acting coquettishly in his arms. Hearing her aggrieved sobs, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

He reached out and gently stroked her soft golden hair, understanding that it was too much to ask Suika, a demon king who naturally loved parties, excitement, and battle, to patiently accompany him here to fish quietly.

He raised his head, and for the first time truly calmed himself down, seriously meeting Kazami Yuuka's bright red eyes as he gazed at this powerful and mysterious great yokai who had suddenly barged into his life.

“Miss Yuuka,” Xia Xun’s voice calmed down, and the fear caused by the unknown strangely dissipated a lot the moment he hugged Ibuki Suika, “Do you really just want to be friends with me?”

“Oh dear,” Kazami Yuuka tilted her head slightly, her smile unchanged, “Does Natsumi not believe what I’m saying?”

Her gaze, however, quietly fell upon the ghost king in Xia Xun's arms, who was acting coquettishly.

The Ghost King's position in Xia Xun's heart seemed to be somewhat beyond her expectations.

How did he manage to overcome his instinctive fear of himself so quickly?

“I believe you.” Xia Xun nodded seriously.

Then he reached under her armpits and lifted Ibuki Suika up, laughing as he said, "Alright Suika, you can go play by yourself now."

"You don't have to stay by my side all the time anymore, but you can't drink too late and come home late at night."

“But~” Upon hearing this, Suika Ibuki’s big eyes lit up, but she immediately glanced warily at Yuuka Kazami, who was standing calmly to the side.

"Don't worry, Miss Youxiang just wants to be friends with me," Xia Xun said with a smile. "Besides, you are the Demon King!"

Upon hearing this, Suika Ibuki's hesitation was instantly replaced by a radiant smile, and she felt the uncomfortable feeling of constraint she had been experiencing for the past two days vanish in an instant.

On the contrary, an even more powerful force is surging out from deep within the body!

“That’s right, I’m the Demon King!” Ibuki Suika said with sparkling eyes, picking up the sake gourd at her waist and taking two big gulps.

Then, she made Xia Xun put her down. As soon as her toes touched the ground, she suddenly grabbed Xia Xun's collar and pulled him down.

At the same time, she turned her head toward Yuuka Kazami and threw a look at her that was undisguised and full of provocation and declaration.
