A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

"Could this be... faith?"

Xia Xun caught the feeling in that instant and had some guesses in her mind.

However, he quickly put that thought aside and thought that things were fine as they were.

Xia Xun had no intention of actually contacting the power of faith, nor did he plan to become a god.

Gods are born from the expectations and aspirations of believers, but Xia Xun felt that carrying the expectations of countless people at all times was too terrifying.

It's fine as it is now.

With a smile, Xia Xun looked at Yakumo Ran and Youmu Konpaku, who had come to buy groceries, and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you with the relocation banquet on the 24th."

"It's nothing, just a small matter," Yakumo Ran said with a smile.

Youmu Konpaku was somewhat excited: "I am very happy to be able to help Lord Xia Xun. I will definitely do my best to make the banquet a success."

Leaving aside the kindness that Lord Natsumi had shown her, just the sheer amount of food that Lady Yuyuko would have eaten that day, and the simple calculation of the cost, was enough to make Youmu's eyes go black.

Therefore, she must work even harder.

"Meow will also urge the little nightingale to come and help~!" Orange Meow happily raised its hand, its two tails wagging behind it.

As for Mistya's debts, Xia Xun, not having the time, followed Yakumo Yukari's suggestion and entrusted them to Cheng.

"Thank you, Orange Meow~" Xia Xun couldn't help but reach out and rub Orange's fluffy ears, which made him feel very comfortable. He then took out a Silver Star strawberry and fed it to her.

After a brief chat, Xia Xun took out some of the lettuce she had harvested yesterday, along with some cucumbers and strawberries from today, to sell.

It wasn't that Xia Xun wanted to sell, but at the banquet yesterday, he casually mentioned that he planned to use all the ingredients he had collected this week for the banquet, which received unanimous protests from Saigyouji Yuyuko and Yakumo Yukari.

They strongly demanded that at least their daily meals be guaranteed.

Therefore, Xia Xun's money increased by another 1980.

After completing today's sales, he took a brief tour of the farm.

The farmland area, despite the presence of scarecrows and kappa, has not experienced any problems.

However, in the sap collection area, Xia Xun discovered that many newly sprouted tree species had been trampled, and upon inspection, the marks were found to be left by monsters.

"These wretched monsters are actually destroying my trees!"

He said through gritted teeth that Xia Xun currently has no way to build a wall to protect the entire farm; he doesn't have the extra funds.

The only option is to wait until later to use the mountain teleportation totem and dig it out in the mine yourself.

Now, all we can do is pray that Goose and Marisa can resolve this incident as soon as possible.

Having completed today's patrol, Xia Xun prepares to head to Lake of Mist to try fishing for the King of Fish once more.

"Waaaaah, Xia Xun~!"

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry of grievance came from mid-air.

Xia Xun looked up and saw the three little devils with bruises and black eyes.

what?

Chapter 134 Surrender, Cirno

"Wow~!"

"Waaaaah~"

"Ugh~ hiccup".

Three little crybabies fell from the sky, with Sunny, the eldest, crying the loudest. Luna had already thrown herself into Xia Xun's arms, hugging him and constantly shedding little pearls.

Only Star was slightly better. After flying to Xia Xun's shoulder and sitting down, he managed to stop crying, but his little shoulders still trembled with each hiccup.

"What happened?" Xia Xun asked anxiously, quickly taking out three snacks and handing them over. "Eat quickly, your injuries will heal after you finish eating."

"Hmm, um~"

Sunny's eye was swollen and turned purple-blue. She reached out her little hand to take the food and immediately started crunching away.

As she ate, Sunny felt the pain on her face disappear quickly, and her courage returned as her energy was restored.

"Damn it, that ice fairy!" Sunny, having regained her composure, looked at her two companions who had also recovered and angrily swung her little fists: "No, we absolutely can't let this go."

"How dare she call me an idiot and slap me! I will never let her get away with this!"

Sunny took to the sky again and waved directly at Star and Luna: "Let's go! We're going to find Cirno for a rematch. This time we have snacks, we're sure to win!"

Upon hearing this, Star and Luna looked at the half-eaten snack in their hands and their fully recovered bodies, and nodded together.

"Xia Xun, don't worry, we will definitely take care of Cirno." Star said earnestly, pulling Luna, whose eyes still had tears in them, to chase after Sunny.

"Huh?" Xia Xun was completely confused.

Xia Xun grabbed Star and Luna, who were about to take off, and looked at Sunny, who had already flown far away, with a headache. He said helplessly, "Tell me what happened first. Didn't I tell you to go and befriend Cirno?"

"Why did you not only come back crying after being beaten, but now you're going to seek revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Star, who was full of fighting spirit, unconsciously turned his head away and dared not look at Xia Xun. Even Luna blushed and lowered her head, her fingers twisted together, unable to speak for a long time.

Ok.

Xia Xun could tell from the two kids' expressions that they had definitely caused trouble.

Because he caused trouble like that when he was a child.

However, precisely because of this, it is even more necessary to understand the situation in order to avoid causing even greater trouble.

"Tell me, did you do something to Cirno?" Xia Xun's tone became slightly more serious, and the two little fairies immediately shuddered at the same time.

“Yes, it was all Sunny who made us do it!” Starr betrayed his boss without any loyalty, speaking rapidly.

“Yes, yes, it was Sunny who said it first. We were just following her.” Luna nodded quickly in agreement, then timidly looked up at him: “Xia Xun, please don’t be angry.”

Xia Xun looked at the pitiful little devil staring at him and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Alright, I'm not angry." He dropped his deliberately serious expression and gently pinched the two little devils' cheeks. "But if Sunny finds out you complained, she'll be so angry she'll cut ties with you."

"Tell me first, did the three of you play a prank on Cirno?"

Looking at the two little devils who suddenly became happy, Xia Xun sighed inwardly at his own weakness, feeling that he would become the type to spoil children in the future.

Star and Luna immediately perked up when they saw that he wasn't really angry.

“Hehe, Xia Xun is so nice.” Star flew over and kissed him affectionately on the cheek, then said somewhat shyly, “Actually, we demolished Cirno’s house and left behind a flag and a challenge.”

"what?!"

Xia Xun was stunned upon hearing this.

Why?

"Um~" Star raised her little hand and scratched her cheek, while secretly giving Luna a wink.

In the critical moment, Luna perfectly understood her companion's signal, flapped her wings and flew to Xia Xun's shoulder, saying in a wronged tone, "I'm sorry, we messed up the thing you asked us to do this time, Xia Xun."

"However, we accidentally ate all five snacks that Xia Xun gave us, so we decided to solve the problem using the fairy method in the end."

Although Luna sounded aggrieved.

But Xia Xun understood perfectly well; it was just a case of being too greedy to give away the snacks she had already gotten.

"You three are such gluttons," Xia Xun said helplessly.

He could understand it. When he was a child, he was poor, and when his grandfather occasionally bought him some snacks, he was reluctant to share them with anyone else.

There's not even enough for myself to eat.

Upon hearing this, Luna blushed, but she was secretly pleased, feeling that she had gotten away with it this time.

Stab was the smarter one. He could tell from Xia Xun's tone that he had guessed the cause and effect, but instead of being angry, he seemed to understand.

This made Stah unable to resist shifting his little bottom and getting even closer to Xia Xun.

"Let's go, we still have to catch up with Sunny."

Xia Xun scratched his head, wondering what he should do if Sunny and Cirno were to fight later.

As an adult, it's really not appropriate for him to intervene in these children's fights; doing so would only escalate the conflict.

Xia Xun casually took out two Silver Star Strawberries and gave one to Star and one to Luna, then hurried towards the direction of Lake of Mist.

On the other side, Lake of Mist.

"Hahaha, as expected, I am the strongest!"

Cirno, whose eye socket was also swollen, stood on the ruins of her house, hands on her hips, laughing triumphantly.

She felt that she must look extremely handsome right now.

One against three, easily sweeping away the enemy.

What other words can describe this power besides "strongest" and "invincible"?

"Cirno-chan, don't move."

The great fairy frantically tried to hold Cirno down and wipe her swollen eyes with the towel in her hand.

"Cirno, come out right now!"

Just then, an arrogant shout rang out.

Cirno and the Great Fairy looked up and saw Sunny flying in with a smug look on her face.

"Haha, surrender, Cirno."

Looking at Cirno below, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, Sunny raised her work snack high, looking smug.

“You are no match for me now. This is a super snack given to you by Xia Xun.”

"Not only does it taste amazing, it also helps you recover strength and heals injuries quickly!"

“Compared to us, who have the amazing Xia Xun backing us up, you idiot have nothing at all~” Sunny became more and more smug as she spoke, and couldn’t help but look back again.

Strange, why haven't Star and Luna caught up yet? Are they lost?

"Xia Xun, who is that?"

Cirno looked bewildered, completely baffled as to why her defeated foe was being so arrogant because of the other party.

However, when Cirno's gaze fell on the snack in Sunny's hand, a glistening smile appeared on her lips.

It smells so good, it looks so delicious.

"Xia Xun, Xia Xun is that older brother from before."

The great fairy quickly explained to Cirno, but then a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

She felt good about the older brother and he even planned to apologize to Cirno; he seemed like a really good person.

But why would he help the fairies who bullied them?

Chapter 135 The Strongest Defender of the Title

"Damn it, you stupid sun fairy, surrender now and I'll spare your life!"

"You're the idiot, the super idiot ice fairy! What makes you think you can make me surrender when I have Xia Xun's help?!"

When Xia Xun rushed to the Lake of Mist, he saw two small figures wrestling in the air, making a lot of noise.

Not far away, the great fairy was anxiously flapping its wings, circling the battleground, looking at the two wrestling figures with a panicked expression, completely at a loss.

Seeing this, Xia Xun decided to ignore the battleground of the little fairies in the sky, which he could not reach at all, and instead go to the side of the great fairy to inquire about the situation.

"Great Fairy, it's been a long time," Xia Xun said, reminding the Great Fairy who hadn't noticed his arrival at all.

"Um, Xia Xun Da...!" The great fairy was startled and quickly turned her head. When she saw Xia Xun, her expression relaxed, but then she saw Star and Luna on his shoulder, which made her subconsciously shrink back.

"Don't be afraid, big fairy, let me explain first." Xia Xun quickly comforted them upon seeing the situation, then reached out and rubbed the heads of the two little fairies on his shoulders. "Alright, hurry up and apologize to them."

"I'm sorry." Star and Luna said in unison, flying off Xia Xun's shoulder and obediently bowing to the great fairy.

Seeing this, the fear on the great fairy's face gradually faded, and she revealed a gentle expression again: "N-It's alright. Cirno also hit you, so this matter is even."

"But..." The great fairy looked at the sky with a troubled expression.

At this moment, Sunny and Cirno are grabbing each other's wings or hair, tumbling in the air, trying to push each other down, and then waving their little fists at each other's faces.
