A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

Whoosh!

Just then, the water surface burst open, and a nearly meter-long pale blue tail slapped a huge grass carp onto the shore.

With two loud thuds, it slid directly in front of Xia Xun.

Holding her empty fishing rod, and looking at the familiar big tail that had disappeared and the big grass carp in front of her, Xia Xun felt speechless.

Is the king of fish thanking him for feeding the fish today?

Why do I feel both humiliated and somewhat relieved?

"Let's have a fair fight next time!"

With a solemn expression, Xia Xun pointed his fishing rod at the still rippling water and made a vow. He then hoisted the grass carp, which was over a meter long, and began his journey home.

"Shouldn't we put this away?"

Walking along the road, Ibaraki Kasen touched the large fish on Natsumi's shoulder with a hint of helplessness and couldn't help but ask a question.

"No! This is a challenge from the Fish King!"

Xia Xun shook her head stubbornly, her eyes burning with rage: "I'm going to carry it home and let everyone see it."

"Next time, it'll be the king of fish's turn~"

Ibaraki Kasen looked at the fighting spirit on Natsumi's face, hesitated, and was about to explain the situation to Natsumi when she heard Kazami Yuuka cough softly from the side.

Looking up, she saw a girl with a slight smile on her lips, her crimson eyes filled with warning.

Seeing this, Ibaraki Kasen thought for a moment and gave up on explaining.

After all, this matter posed no real danger to Xia Xun; it was merely a game between him and the mermaid in the lake.

Now, the most important thing is how to suppress Yuuka Kazami the moment I meet Suika.

Then, by mobilizing the power of the Great Barrier, they were moved directly out of the human realm to prevent the battle from affecting the village.

But just as the three of them reached the vicinity of the farm...

Kazami Yuuka gracefully bid farewell to Natsumi, and to Ibaraki Kasen's disbelief, she simply left.

Is this still the same flower tyrant she knows?

Instead of grabbing what she wanted, she displayed remarkable ladylike manners.

Is this also the power of love?

At this moment, even Ibaraki Kasen couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xia Xun, wanting to see what kind of charm his disciple possessed.

Not only did it change Suika Ibuki, the Demon King, but it also made this flower tyrant gentle.

So, can he also change himself, that evil self?

"What's wrong with the teacher?"

When Xia Xun turned around, he saw that Ibaraki Kasen was staring at him, and he scratched his head curiously.

"It's nothing."

Ibaraki Kasen didn't want to say much to Natsumi, lest she inadvertently reveal Kazami Yuuka's purpose.

The thing she was worried about didn't happen, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go back to your house first."

"As a teacher, I haven't paid a visit to you yet, so let's take this opportunity to get to know each other."

Xia Xun nodded happily upon hearing this, deciding to go back and take out one of the four goldfish she had saved to treat her teacher.

As dusk fell, the two quickly returned to the human realm and arrived at Xia Xun's home.

Squeak.

Pushing open the door, Xia Xun stepped aside and invited, "Please come in, teacher. The room is simple, please excuse the lack of amenities."

"Master, you're back~!"

Just then, a small figure rushed out of the open door and immediately opened her arms to hug Ibaraki Kasen, who was about to enter.

"Ah?"

Feeling something was off, Tatara Kouu raised her head, looked at the somewhat unfamiliar older sister, then at her master beside her, lowered her finger to the corner of her lip, tilted her head and asked, "Is this older sister Master's new partner?"

"Hello, big sister! I'm Tatara Kosuke, I hope you like me~"

Ibaraki Kasen looked at Tatara Kosuke, who was bowing to her earnestly, and her face flushed slightly because of her words, but she still suppressed her shyness and quickly helped Tatara Kosuke up.

"Little Umbrella, you've misunderstood. I'm your master's teacher, not his partner!"

"Teacher?" Upon hearing this, Tatara Kosuke blinked her large, heterochromatic eyes and suddenly realized, "Kosuke understands, it's the same teacher as Alice-neechan, right?"

Ibaraki Kasen sensed something was amiss in Tatara Kosuke's tone, which made him turn around and glare fiercely at Natsumi, who was secretly laughing.

Just how much of a womanizer is this idiot disciple?!

At this moment, Xia Xun's image as the perfect disciple in Ibaraki Kasen's heart was truly shattered, and he was almost ranked alongside that lazy girl, Hakurei Reimu.

Chapter 150 Aya Shameimaru Suffers the Ultimate Humiliation

The Nest-Swallowing Pavilion.

"It's so lively!"

Ibaraki Kasen looked at the bustling izakaya with some surprise; such a flow of people was rare in the entire world.

"Hehe, is this your first time here, little girl?"

Upon hearing this, a regular customer passing by chuckled smugly, "We've all come here for that special fish at the Nitun Pavilion."

"It's a pity that there's a daily limit, so we can't order more."

The middle-aged regular customer spoke with a hint of regret on his face.

"But it's understandable, after all, how could there be an unlimited supply of fish of that quality?"

Wait until my fishpond is built.

Xia Xun answered silently, a smile appearing on her face as the guest spoke.

This is proof of the changes he brought to Gensokyo, a unique mark that belongs to him.

Moreover, when we were having dinner at the Hieda residence yesterday, Akyuu clung to him for a long time, recording all the recent events in Gensokyo: The Origin.

Upon hearing this, Ibaraki Kasen glanced at Xia Xun's smile and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

This new disciple of mine seems to be doing more and more unexpectedly.

The three of them entered the Nitun Pavilion.

As soon as she entered, Ibaraki Kasen's expression changed as she suddenly sensed a dense gathering of demonic energy.

She instinctively shielded Xia Xun and Duoduo Liang's umbrella with her hands, her gaze fixed on the direction of the demonic energy, her expression momentarily blank.

"Oh dear, let's see who's here!"

The gap opened and swallowed the three people. When they reappeared, they were already inside the Silkworm Devouring Carp Pavilion.

Yakumo Yukari gently waved her folding fan, looking at Ibaraki Kasen with a smile: "A rare guest indeed."

She then turned her gaze to Xia Xun, looked him up and down, and exclaimed, "Xia Xun's interpersonal skills are increasingly beyond my imagination."

"Hehe, maybe one day you'll actually be able to do what that tengu said," Yakumo Yukari said, squinting her eyes. "Dominate the entire Gensokyo."

Click, click, click!

A barrage of flashes erupted, and Aya Shameimaru's face flushed an unparalleled red as she breathed heavily with excitement.

"Breaking news!" Her eyes lit up as she stared excitedly at Yakumo Yukari, whose face had darkened. She almost shoved the sticker in her hand into his face.

"Lord Yukari Yakumo, the Sage of Youkai, you have just personally confirmed Natsumi's plan to conquer Gensokyo. This matter is now beyond doubt!"

"Do you have any opinions on this matter? Please describe them to me in detail. As the most dedicated reporter in Gensokyo, I will definitely convey the truth to everyone."

Paparazzi Wen, I have to admit your dedication.

Xia Xun stared in disbelief at the scene, and even decided to turn the page on the other party's previous fabrications about her.

Because this Aya Shameimaru probably won't live past tomorrow.

Sad!

A gap flashed by, and Aya Shameimaru vanished from her spot.

Xia Xun initially thought the other person had been locked up by Yakumo Yukari, but then he heard a loud bang coming from the window of the Minatotei. Shameimaru Aya had suddenly crashed into the wooden window.

The wooden structure, which should have been as fragile as a bubble under the impact of the great youkai, easily stopped the fastest tengu in Gensokyo.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Covering his swollen forehead, Aya Shameimaru got up from the ground in disbelief.

Hehe~

Xia Xun heard a cold laugh from Er Yanzang beside her and instantly realized who the culprit was.

Looking up, the window had turned into a wall. As a space divided by Yakumo Yukari's boundaries, the walls themselves symbolized boundaries. Apart from the pre-designed exits like doors and windows, the rest of the space could be described as rock solid.

"Hey, why aren't you running anymore?"

Yakumo Yukari's sinister voice rang out beside Shameimaru Aya's suddenly changed face, and before she could cry out her innocence, a gap began to engulf her.

Just as Yukari Yakumo bent down to pick up the camera, she saw a resolute look in Aya Shameimaru's eyes, who was already mostly swallowed up by the gap.

She suddenly grabbed her camera, channeling all the demonic power she used to resist into it, then summoned a gust of wind and hurled the camera toward the window.

boom!

With a crisp sound, this time without Mamizo Niiwa's illusion, Aya Shameimaru accurately found the window and saved her camera.

Watching the camera, protected by demonic power, fly swiftly towards the mountain of demons, Aya Shameimaru felt a sense of relief.

Now, any torture I suffer will be worth it.

Anyway, she's used to it, and it's not like she'll die.

Moreover, Aya Shameimaru was already prepared to give her life for the sake of the news!

Click.

Amidst the crisp cracking of her knuckles, Yakumo Yukari felt incredibly dry. This group of tengu, who were obsessed with the news, were all like this, especially Shameimaru Aya.

This time, we will absolutely not let it go!

Yakumo Yukari suddenly turned around to look at Natsumi, with the gap where Aya Shameimaru was imprisoned floating behind her.

"Hehe, Xia Xun, do you have any plans to have children?"

"Now I can provide you with a beautiful tengu for free, and she's a great demon you can play with as you please. You can even make her have twelve babies if you want."

"No way, Xia Xun's first time is mine!" Ibuki Suika made a snap decision, pointing angrily at Yakumo Yukari with her little finger: "Even if we're going to have a baby, it has to be after Xia Xun and I consummate our marriage."

“However, I think twelve is a bit few. Why not have more? After all, there are too few people in the house now, so it's not lively at all, and it's not fun to have a banquet.”

"what?"

Aya Shameimaru's expression had turned utterly terrified. Looking at the group of shameless guys outside, she couldn't help but cry out for help: "Help! Lord Ootengu! Waaaaah!"

"If you don't come to save me soon, I'll have to give birth to a litter of baby celestial dogs and take them back with me this time next year."

"Waaaaah, no! I haven't recorded enough big news yet, I absolutely refuse to bring the kids!"

As Mistya walked out carrying a plate of food, she heard Aya Shameimaru's loud cries and saw the familiar group of thugs. Her little hands holding the plate of food trembled involuntarily.

She looked at Xia Xun in horror and blurted out, "Does this mean that even if I can't pay my debts, I'll have to lay eggs for you too?"

Boom!

A flick on the forehead landed on Mistya's head. Xia Xun stared at the Night Sparrow girl crouching with her head in her hands and couldn't help but complain: "Stop using your pea-sized sparrow brain to think. You should be thinking about learning cooking skills from each other with Misaki and then reorganizing the Night Sparrow Diner."

"and!"

Xia Xun turned around angrily to look at Shameimaru Aya, who was spreading rumors about him again, and roared, "You paparazzi Aya, don't dream about me!"

"Someone like you is nowhere near as good as a crabapple!"

"Even if you were to have a child with a ten-thousand-fold dog, wouldn't that dog be a million times better than you?!"

"What?! I'm not as good as Ji Haitangguo, who just stays at home?!"
