Since he planted the seeds after arriving in Gensokyo, today can truly be considered the day of his harvest.
After all, the crops that matured before were all ripened by the grace of fairies.
"Haha, quickly block that side, don't let the fish escape!"
"There are so many fish! Quickly, bring a bucket over."
The fields were bustling this morning, with many adults and children fishing in the rivers and ponds.
The typhoon brought floodwaters that swept away a large number of fish, leaving them stranded in ditches and puddles in the fields after the rapid receding of the water last night.
Seeing this bountiful harvest, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel tempted, but in the end, the ripe potatoes from the farm were more appealing.
"Oh, is this Teacher Huiyin?"
Suddenly, she saw a somewhat familiar figure. Xia Xun looked closely and realized that it was actually Kamishirasawa Keine.
At this moment, the temple school owner was fishing with a group of children, and even Fujiwara no Mokou had been brought along as a helper to look after the children.
"Teacher Huiyin, it's been a long time, Miss Fujiwara." Xia Xun stepped forward and waved happily in greeting.
“Mr. Natsumi, it’s been a long time.” Kamishirasawa Keine turned around, looked at Natsumi with a kind smile, and said, “Are you going to work on the farm now? I’m really grateful for what happened to Mokou before.”
As she spoke, Kamishirasawa Keine bowed slightly to Xia Xun in gratitude.
"What are you doing, Keine!" Fujiwara no Mokou jumped up and glared at Natsumi, saying, "It's not because of this guy! I went there because of Keine!"
"Mokou, you mustn't be so rude!" A ruler struck Fujiwara Mokou on the head, and Kamishirasawa Keine smiled apologetically at Natsumi: "Mokou is just a little shy, please don't mind, Lord Natsumi."
She wanted to express her gratitude not only for Xia Xun's help in delivering the gift and conveying her message, but also for Xia Xun's invitation to Mohong into a world she should have already entered.
Since the day of the festival, Kamishirasawa Keine has noticed that Fujiwara no Mokou's mood has improved.
"It's alright, I don't mind."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xun simply smiled and shook her head. Then, looking at the children catching fish in the river, she asked curiously, "Teacher Huiyin, are you giving an outdoor lesson?"
"Yes, you could say that."
Kamishirasawa Keine thought for a moment and nodded.
Turning to look at the children happily fishing in the river, their faces beaming with smiles, she gently said, "After all, childhood should be the purest and happiest time of one's life."
"Moreover, the traces left after a typhoon are a very rare and vivid lesson. Children can learn knowledge while playing, which I think is great."
“Most importantly,” said Kamishirasawa Keine, holding up her bucket full of fish, “we also harvested a lot of precious meat.”
"Teacher Huiyin is truly a wonderful teacher." Xia Xun looked at Shang Baize Huiyin with a face full of emotion: "If only Teacher Huiyin had been my teacher when I was in school."
"Teacher, Xia Xun, do you have a new teacher?"
A curious question came from behind. Xia Xun turned around in surprise and looked at Ci Huaxian who had suddenly appeared, saying, "Teacher, what brings you here!"
“The storm yesterday has passed safely, but I was still worried about the human village, so I came out to check on it and also to see you,” Ci Huaxian explained, then looked at Shang Baizawa Huiyin beside Xia Xun and nodded knowingly.
"So it's Teacher Kamishirasawa." Ci Huaxian bowed to Kamishirasawa Keine, then looked Xia Xun up and down with satisfaction and nodded: "Not bad, your energy and spirit are complete, and your will has also changed."
“Unlike Reimu, who likes to slack off, Natsumi, you train very hard.”
"Ms. Kamishirasawa is also someone worth learning from. I'm very happy that you're learning from her."
"So you are Xia Xun's teacher." Kamishirasawa Keine returned the greeting, glancing at Ibaraki Kasen in surprise. She had only seen Ibaraki Kasen occasionally in the village before, and then said, "However, you have misunderstood."
"Actually, I originally wanted to invite Xia Xun to the temple school to teach the children about agriculture as a teacher."
"Me, teacher?" Xia Xun's eyes widened instantly, staring incredulously at the serious-looking Kawashima Keine.
Even Ci Huaxian looked at the two of them curiously, not understanding why Xia Xun was suddenly invited to become a teacher.
“Xia Xun, you are now a well-known agricultural expert in the human world.” Kamishirasawa Keine said matter-of-factly, “So it’s not surprising that I want to invite you to teach the children about agriculture.”
"Huh, Xia Xun is actually a famous agricultural expert?" Upon hearing this, Ci Huaxian looked at her disciple thoughtfully.
No wonder he would bring out a bunch of cucumbers to sell during the festival.
When Shirozawa Keine saw that Ci Huaxian, as her teacher, was unaware of her disciple's grades, she earnestly recounted to her the stories that had been circulating about Xia Xun during this period.
Only Fujiwara no Mokou looked unwell, recalling the lettuce and offal soup that Kaguya Houraisan had boasted about to her the day before.
She wouldn't have cared much about just a few good ingredients, but when it came to her arch-rival Kaguya, she couldn't swallow her anger.
Feeling the constant gazes directed at him by his immortal teacher, Kasugawa Keine, as she spoke, Xia Xun quickly said, "Teacher Keine, you misunderstand. I'm actually just a novice farmer."
"I mainly use my own special skills to build my farm."
As Xia Xun spoke, feeling the gazes still fixed on him, he suggested, "It just so happens that I had a good harvest today, why don't we go and take a look together?"
"Oh, by the way, we just happened to run into each other today." Xia Xun added, "Teacher Huiyin, Miss Meihong, I'm holding a housewarming party on the 24th of this month, and I hope you can come and attend."
Upon hearing this, Kamishirasawa Keine nodded and accepted Xia Xun's invitation.
Only Fujiwara no Mokou wanted to refuse. Even though she had resolved some of her inner conflicts, she was still unwilling to interact with people.
boom!
With a slap of the ruler, Kamishirasawa Keine smiled and answered for Fujiwara no Mokou: "Don't worry, Mokou will definitely participate, absolutely!"
Seeing this, Xia Xun's lips twitched, and she suddenly felt fortunate that her teacher when she was young was not Kazaki Shirazawa Keine, otherwise she would definitely have been severely reprimanded.
Ci Huaxian hesitated, but seeing Xia Xun's happy expression, she couldn't bring herself to say the words of refusal.
As fate would have it, Xia Xun led the three to Stardew Valley Farm, which was not far away, while the students were left in the care of the other adults nearby.
Soon, a lush, verdant land came into view.
"That's amazing."
Looking at the lush crops on the farmland, Kamishirasawa Keine felt even more that her idea of making Natsumi a teacher was a good one.
After all, in the human world, children don't have many job opportunities to choose from when they grow up. If they can farm well, at least they won't have to worry about making a living.
Xia Xun looked at the large field of ripe potatoes and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
With ease, ten water streams formed, and Xia Xun began harvesting potatoes covering a full 78 square meters.
Finally, the first step in potato brewing has been taken.
Chapter 147 What's Your Purpose?
On the grassy ridges of the fields.
Ibaraki-sen, Kamishirasawa Keine, and Fujiwara no Mokou were watching Natsumi use magic to harvest potatoes.
Suddenly, the three of them changed their expressions slightly and almost simultaneously turned their gazes in the same direction.
Under the white parasol, a stunningly beautiful girl in green is slowly walking towards them.
The wind sees the fragrance.
How did she end up here?
Ci Huaxian frowned as she watched the approaching great demon. From its route, she could tell that its target was her student, Xia Xun.
After a moment's thought, Ibaraki-sensei flashed forward and blocked Kazami Yuuka's path, raising her hand to stop her: "Kazami Yuuka, what are you trying to do here?"
"Ibaraki Kasen, it's you demons again?"
Kazami Yuuka looked at the pink-haired girl blocking her way, a cold smile creeping onto her lips: "What, you've also taken a fancy to Natsumi and want to have him?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Xia Xun is my student!" Ibaraki Kasen, or rather, Ibaraki Kasen, frowned upon hearing this and glared angrily at Kazami Yuuka: "I am Ibaraki Kasen now. Your goal is indeed Xia Xun. Why?"
Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuuka looked at Ibaraki Kasen, whose expression was filled with rage, and couldn't help but smile.
There was no hint of lying.
Then, she changed her tone and said with a smile, "I just want to make friends with Xia Xun."
"Natsumi," Yuuka Kazami said, raising her hand and waving at Natsumi as if to prove it.
Xia Xun, who had just finished harvesting potatoes, looked up when she heard Kazami Yuuka's voice and found that she had come again.
They really are persistent.
Xia Xun was somewhat moved. Such a beautiful woman as Kazami Yuuka was incredibly proactive in becoming his friend.
But if he had just arrived in Gensokyo, before he met Ibuki Suika, Okunoda Miyo, and their group.
Even if they knew this person was a sadist, they might have already succumbed to Yuuka Kazami's charms.
After all, Yuuka Kazami is really beautiful.
The combination of a youthful face and a strong, mature aura is truly captivating.
Good morning, Yuxiang.
After a casual greeting, Xia Xun glanced at Ibaraki Kasen beside her and asked curiously, "Teacher, do you know Yuuka too?"
Upon hearing this, Ibaraki-sen's expression panicked for a moment. She glanced at Kazami Yuuka beside her, who hadn't spoken yet, and hurriedly said, "Yes, after all, I am a sage and have lived in Gensokyo for a long time."
Xia Xun nodded in realization, "That's true."
The beautiful girls in Gensokyo are actually many years old and have been around for who knows how many months.
Ibaraki Kasen watched Natsumi and Kazami Yuuka's seemingly practiced conversation and couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Kazama that she wants to be friends with you. Is that true?"
"Hmm." Xia Xun nodded, a complicated look on her face: "In short, after all sorts of things, Youxiang and I became ordinary friends."
“We’ll definitely become even closer in the future,” Kazami Yuuka replied, her gaze fixed on Natsumi, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Sure enough, my desire to delve deeper into Xia Xun's life and understand him stemmed from curiosity.
Yesterday, I received an important piece of information: Xia Xun doesn't actually dislike her mature figure.
Therefore, aside from the original plan, she also had to prepare for the forced takeover as soon as possible.
Today's summer is even more delicious, and it will soon be ready to be enjoyed again.
If we don't act now, that dwarf ghost king will beat us to it.
Given some time, Kazami Yuuka is confident that she can make Natsumi's heart belong only to her, and only to her.
The thought of keeping Xia Xun in my home in the future, making her my own possession, is unforgettable.
Kazami Yuuka's eyes flashed crimson, and her smile grew even brighter.
Xia Xun felt that the girl in front of him was smiling more and more beautifully, like a sunflower blooming in the morning sun.
However, Ibaraki Kasen's breathing became somewhat rapid. As one of the three sages of Gensokyo, she knew this flower tyrant very well, and she could tell from her expression that something was wrong.
In an instant, she made her decision.
Ibaraki Kasen originally wanted to decline Xia Xun's invitation to the housewarming party, since she had now left the path of the Demon King and embarked on the path of the immortal.
Ibaraki Kasen didn't want others to know about her incredibly sinful past, so when she saw Ibuki Suika, her former companion, appear in Gensokyo again, she tried to avoid her.
But at this moment, Xia Xun, this disciple, and his companion's partner are being targeted by a very dangerous guy.
Even at the risk of being exposed and disliked by many, Ibaraki Kasen decided to accept the invitation and stay by Natsumi's side for the next few days to prevent Kazami Yuuka from causing trouble.
Where did Suika go?!
Ibaraki Kasen couldn't help but feel a little resentful. This unreliable guy should protect his partner properly. If someone else steals him, he'll have to go through the trouble of taking him back.
This is very irresponsible towards your partner.
For a moment, Ibaraki Kasen had a lot of thoughts about lecturing Ibuki Suika.
I have absolutely no idea what decision the two people beside me made in that short moment.
Xia Xun looked at Kamishirasawa Keine and Fujiwara no Mokou approaching, took out a Silver Star Potato and handed it to them: "Keine-sensei, look, this potato was grown by my ability."
"Actually, I'm not an expert in agriculture; I only have some experience at best."
Kamishirasawa Keine took the Silver Star Potato and examined it for a while. The bright yellow potato was like a crystal-clear jade stone. Not only was it much larger than an ordinary potato, but it also exuded a faint spiritual aura.
As a knowledgeable half-demon from the Bai Ze tribe, Shang Bai Ze Huiyin gave up after seeing it. This was not something an ordinary person could cultivate. Even cultivators would have to nurture it with all their might, and it would take years for this rare and precious material to mature.
but....
As Kamoshiro Zeke looked at Xia Xun in front of her, she began to wonder which great god this person was, or whose bloodline she was, that she had awakened such a powerful ability.
She glanced at Kazami Yuuka, whose gaze had never left Xia Xun, and understood why she had her eyes on him.
Handing the silver star potato back to Xia Xun, Kamishirasawa Keine thought for a moment and then looked at Fujiwara no Mokou beside her: "Mokou, from now on, if you need to buy groceries, come to Xia Xun and buy some for me too."
"Ha, I'm here to find this idiot... Xia Xun to buy groceries?"
