The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 184 Hehe, I want to live!

The elven princess, Riveria Lyos Alfre, was clutching her chest, her emerald eyes wide open, staring at him as if she were in a daze.

For the first time, Fen Yu felt that the Water God's blessing—it seemed—was a bit of a trap for him.

The scene fell into a deathly silence, as if even the wind had frozen.

Fen Yu stiffly turned his neck and quickly glanced around.

That one glance sent a chill down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

All around, there were young girls enjoying themselves in the water, embracing nature.

Moreover, most of them were acquaintances.

Ais, head tilted and looking dazed, was next to Lefia, who was about to faint on the spot. There was also Tiona, who was watching the show with her hands on her hips, and Tione, who was crossing her arms and looking amused. All eyes were fixed on him like searchlights.

The air was thick with embarrassment, shock, and—indestructible murderous intent.

"Hey, Brother Fenyu, are you here for a cold shower too?"

In the end, it was the fearless Tiona who broke the silence first.

She put her hands on her hips and leaned forward curiously, her unguarded posture making Fen Yu unsure where to look.

"He looks quite serious, but I didn't expect him to be so bold."

Tiony tossed a strand of her wet hair aside, stood there leisurely, a dangerous smile playing on her lips.

All I can say is that this is Amazon, no doubt.

"Ughh ...

Meanwhile, Lefia's CPU finally burned out completely.

Her face was flushed, steam seemed to rise from the top of her head, her eyes had turned completely into circles, and she let out a mournful cry that was difficult to understand.

"You, you, you—you insolent scoundrel!"

The golden-haired elf, Alicia, clutched her chest with one hand and instinctively stood in front of Riveria, while pointing at Burning Feather with the other in shock, trembling with rage.

"Um—would you believe me if I said it was an accident?"

Fen Yu slowly raised his hands, striking a standard surrender pose, his lips twitching wildly as he tried to force an innocent smile.

He swore he really just wanted to drift downstream and experience the bitterness of life, little did he know that the downstream section of the river connected to the Loki Familia's all-female bathing area.

"Burning Feather—why did it fall from the sky?"

Aisz's golden eyes were filled with pure confusion.

She instinctively covered her chest with her arms, a lovely blush rising on her fair cheeks as she stared blankly at the uninvited guest on the water.

"I drifted down from upstream, and I swear, I really didn't come here to spy."

With a bitter expression, Fen Yu raised his hands above his head, trying to explain this predicament, which was comparable to "being unable to clear one's name even if one jumped into the Yellow River."

"Who would believe you!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Lady Riveria! It is truly unforgivable."

"I won't listen, you're just a turtle chanting scriptures, you're dead today."

"For the sake of Lady Riveria's innocence, Xin Yan, you are not leaving here today."

Fen Yu's explanation had no effect whatsoever; on the contrary, it was like igniting a powder keg.

The fully armed female members on the shore instantly surrounded the pool, and several elven girls had even drawn their bows, the gleaming arrows pointing directly at Fenyu, their angry expressions suggesting they were about to turn him into a pincushion.

Fen Yu opened his mouth, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.

Feeling the almost palpable murderous gazes of the girls around him, he knew that any explanation would be futile.

His deepest desire to survive was completely activated.

"Hehe—I want to live."

He muttered to himself under his breath, his eyes gradually shifting from panic to determination.

"I'm sorry, I'll explain later."

Before he could finish speaking, Fen Yu's chanting rang out.

"Use this fiery wheel as your chariot!"

The enchanted spell activated instantly, and scorching flames rose from his body. The high temperature came into contact with the cool pool water, instantly producing a huge amount of white steam.

Thick fog spread out like a curtain, instantly enveloping the entire hot spring area and depriving everyone of their sight.

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!"

"Stop him!"

"Guard all exits and don't let him escape."

Amidst the mist, the girls' gasps of surprise rose and fell.

Alicia, who was closest to Fenyu, reacted the fastest. Almost instinctively, she lunged at Fenyu's blurry figure, trying to grab him.

However, Fenyu reacted even faster.

Just as Alicia's hand was about to grab his shoulder, he suddenly ducked down and precisely caught her outstretched wrist.

The elven girl's wrists were slender and warm, with a slight coolness to them, and her skin was incredibly smooth.

Using the momentum of Alicia's lunge, Fenyu smoothly pulled and swung her.

Alicia felt a sudden, subtle force, and her body was uncontrollably thrown to the side.

In the instant their paths crossed, through the swirling mist, she seemed to see a pair of apologetic blue eyes so close to hers.

"ah!"

With a gasp, Alicia landed right on top of Lefia, whose eyes had turned into circles, and the two rolled around in a heap.

"Trying to run away?!"

Tiona and Tione also pounced from the left and right, the Amazon sisters' intuition allowing them to roughly pinpoint Burning Feather's location even in the thick fog.

But Fenyu, like a slippery eel, nimbly dove into the water.

With the blessing of the Water God, he was completely at ease underwater, moving at an astonishing speed.

He darted past the girls like a ghost from underwater.

"Ah ah!"

"What touched me?"

"It's that pervert!"

A series of even sharper screams suddenly erupted from underwater.

Meanwhile, Riveria had fully recovered from the system crash.

Her emerald eyes gleamed with complex light in the mist, but she made no move to attack. She simply watched as the dark figure leaped ashore with a "plop" and disappeared into the thick fog.

Once ashore, although the mist obscured their view, it was not enough to completely deprive the battle-hardened adventurers of their vision.

The guards on the shore immediately launched an attack on the blurry figure.

But Fenyu was no pushover either.

The Loki Familia's true elite forces are still soaking in the water right now.

Without any clothes on, it was impossible for them to rush ashore to give chase.

Fen Yu moved nimbly, weaving through the sparse attacks like a ghost, dodging the encirclement of several girls, and was about to escape.

But soon, several more girls who had reacted blocked his path from the front, forming a new encirclement.

Just at this critical moment, a clear and familiar chanting voice quietly rang out from the nearby woods.

Come, wandering wind, drifting traveler.

"【The Wind of Light】"

With the fluctuations of magic, several dazzling light bullets, accompanied by a gust of wind, whistled through the air and landed precisely at the feet of the girls.

"boom!"

Although the impact of the explosion was not strong, it successfully prevented them from closing in, creating a small gap in their formation.

"Well done, Ryu."

Fen Yu thought to himself, and without hesitation seized the opportunity, slipping out from the gap and disappearing into the deep forest.

"Damn it, he got away."

"He actually had accomplices."

The Loki clan girls who remained behind let out cries of anger and resentment.

When the thick steam finally dissipated, the hot spring area was in a complete mess.

Lefia, being used as a "cushion," was frantically supporting Alicia, who had by then recovered from her overloaded CPU.

The reboot was successful. She hurriedly asked, "Miss Alicia, are you alright?"

"It's nothing—it's just that he got away."

Alicia shook her head, rubbing the spot where she had been bumped, then gently bit her lip, her face full of shame and resentment.

The fleeting contact in the fog, the warmth and strength from that wrist, still lingered in my mind.
