"Lord Lin Tian, ​​although you killed Muzan because of a deal with the Lord, I still want to thank you. But I have no money... and since you saved me before, I thought of a better way... that is to become your maid and stay by your side."

The steam from the hot spring pattered against Kanae's skin, making it glow alluringly red. Her delicate, pretty face was so flawless it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. As she explained her purpose, she continued to massage Lin Tian's shoulders.

"How can that be? You're Ren's older sister. Ren! Your sister's acting foolishly, and you're going to follow suit?"

Lin Tian wanted to stop Kanae's actions, but her technique was so superb that it instantly relaxed his tense muscles, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

'Is this what a haven of comfort is? It feels so good.'

Kanae's slender, jade-like hand rested on Lin Tian's shoulder with just the right amount of pressure, making Lin Tian feel comfortable not only physically but also spiritually.

However, a maidservant is not recommended. After all, Shinobu Kocho is his resident, and it would be a bit strange to have his sister as a maidservant.

Moreover, as a member of the Chinese nation, Lin Tian's concept of equality for all is deeply ingrained in his soul; how could he possibly allow someone else to become his maid?

"Hehe, this is my sister's decision, I can't control it."

Shinobu, wrapped in a yukata, entered the hot spring and leaned against the tub, enjoying the comfort of the hot spring water soothing every inch of her skin. She acted like an outsider, no longer paying attention to the questions between her sister and Lin Tian.

"Let's talk about money then. I like money. You don't have to give it to me right away; just give it to me when you've earned enough. I won't charge you interest."

Discussing the issue of maids would hurt feelings, and Lin Tian still felt that Jinzi was more reliable.

"But I can't do anything else besides slaying ghosts. You saved me, my life belongs to you. Only by serving you can I repay your life-saving grace, Lord Lin Tian."

Kanae looked at Lin Tian with a resentful expression, her voice almost tearful as she whispered in his ear.

"Ugh, I shouldn't have listened to Kikyo's request and come here with you. Tell me, why did you bring me here?"

Having stated his position, Lin Tian changed the subject to Shinobu Kocho to prevent Kanae from continuing to pester him.

Chapter 182 Plastic Sisters (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

"I told you, I actually wanted my sister to come to the island. But I was afraid you wouldn't like my idea, so I called you over, intending to use my charm to persuade you. Do you believe me?"

"I believe you. With your cunning personality, I wouldn't be surprised if you did anything. But this matter... you could have told me on the island! Do you think I'm that kind of heartless person?"

Lin Tian was speechless. For such a trivial matter, he had actually agreed to let Kikyo accompany Shinobu Kocho here. He looked up and sighed, noticing that Kanae's bathrobe above him had loosened slightly due to her massage and was starting to slip down a few centimeters.

This made the snow-covered peaks appear and disappear indistinctly. Seeing how fierce the peaks looked, Lin Tian quickly lowered his head.

Do not look at what is improper!

"No one has ever brought outsiders to that island before, so how could I know if you'd be willing? Besides... if we go back to the future, besides my sister... there are two other people who might have to come to the island as well."

So while we were on the island, I wasn't sure if you would agree to let anyone other than my sister come to the island, so I asked Kikyo to have you come with me.

However... there's no need to think about that now. After all, we've arrived in a world before my death, a world where Kanao wasn't yet...”

Shinobu Kocho submerged herself in the hot spring, then untied her yukata and tossed it onto the volcanic rocks behind her. How could one fully enjoy a hot spring bath if they were bound by clothes and a yukata?

Shinobu hadn't enjoyed such a tranquil hot spring in a long time, and for a moment she forgot about some important things. Aside from explaining to Lin Tian why she had brought him here, she began to wholeheartedly enjoy everything about the place.

"Oh, that makes sense. Kanao and Tanjiro were quite close back then. And they even got married in the future. So the two people you're talking about are Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko, right?"

Lin Tian suddenly realized who the other two people Kocho Shinobu was referring to were.

Shinobu Kocho wants her younger sister Kanao to come to the island and live with her, but she doesn't want her sister to be separated from the person she loves, so she wants to bring Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko to the island as well.

Lin Tian turned his gaze to Shinobu Kocho again. Just as he was about to scold her for imagining him to be so cold and unapproachable, the beautiful scenery underwater in the hot spring stunned him.

'She has a great figure! She's almost as good as her sister! Wait, what am I looking at?!'

Because of his extraordinary eyesight, Lin Tian could see clearly through the water's surface. Therefore, Shinobu Kocho, without her bathrobe covering her, entered Lin Tian's eyes without reservation.

'It's D, right...'

"Actually, we could have just talked about it on the island. I would have agreed to let you bring whoever you wanted. I was going to scold you, but when I saw the reward of ten tons of gold, I forgot about how you thought I was heartless. But there can't be a next time!"

Lin Tian turned his head to the side and said, pretending to be a little angry.

"Really? Then when we go back tomorrow, I'll take my older sister and younger sister with me! You can't refuse, okay? You promised I could take whoever I want!"

After hearing this, Shinobu swam towards Lin Tian, ​​her crimson cheeks framed by a gleaming purple gaze. Since Lin Tian had agreed, it was only right to "repay kindness with enmity"—no, it was only natural to take revenge!

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say! Just don't come any closer!"

Sensing the ripples on the water, Lin Tian turned around and found that Shinobu Kocho had swum to his side. Her perfect Xi Shi pot seemed to be in a state of weightlessness in the water, swaying back and forth, making it almost blinding.

Lin Tian instantly felt his blood and qi surging within him. Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted loudly to stop the other party's dangerous behavior.

But Shinobu Kocho showed no sign of stopping and continued swimming towards him. As the pair of Xi Shi pots became increasingly clear, Lin Tian knew he couldn't stay any longer. He gritted his teeth and activated the forbidden Kido technique, Spatial Transfer, to quickly leave the hot spring.

"Ok?"

Shinji Ikari, who was sitting in the bathroom, was startled when Lin Tian suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly wrapped himself in a bathrobe.

"You traitor! You left me all alone at the hot springs."

Seeing Shinji Ikari abandon him and run away alone, Lin Tian angrily knocked a bump on his head. Ignoring the fact that Shinji was in so much pain that he was about to cry, he took a clean set of clothes from the cabinet next to him, put them on, and left.

"Ren... Won't you make him angry by doing this?"

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly disappear, Kanae looked at her younger sister, whose head was the only part of her body above water, with a worried expression and asked her with concern.

"No, sister. I've known him for so long. He always teases me, this time I've finally gotten my revenge!"

Shinobu Kocho approached Lin Tian so boldly in order to get revenge and embarrass him.

The reason is that about two weeks ago, on the adorable Rabbit Island, the residents went to the sea to collect sea anemones in order to complete one of Little K's tasks.

Lin Tian was picking up seashells on the beach when he saw that she and Li Nali were both wearing one-piece swimsuits. He then made a series of comments, the main point of which was that they didn't have good figures.

From that moment on, Lenalee and Shinobu Kocho decided to find an opportunity to avenge themselves. Unfortunately, Lenalee had already left the island, so this mission had to be completed by Shinobu.

Shinobu had never had a chance before, but now that her older sister had agreed to come to the island with her to repay Lin Tian for saving her life, Shinobu devised a plan. She decided to bring her sister into Lin Tian's hot spring bath, seduce him, and embarrass him.

She was all ready to take out her phone and film Lin Tian's disheveled state, but she never expected that Lin Tian would so decisively flee from here.

"But...didn't you say that the people on this island are incredibly strong and have amazing eyesight? You just took off your bathrobe, didn't he see you naked?"

"what!"

Shinobu was stunned when she heard her sister's words. She had only taken off her bathrobe on a whim because the hot spring water was so comfortable.

He had long forgotten Lin Tian's immense strength and astonishing eyesight. The thin mist above the hot spring pool and the hot spring water did not obstruct his vision at all.

"Haha~"

Realizing what had happened, Shinobu blushed instantly and didn't dare look at Kanae. But Kanae actually laughed out loud, teasing her.

Recalling the way Lin Tian had looked at her earlier, and then looking at her sister's amused gaze, Butterfly felt ashamed and angry. Forgetting about their sisterly bond, she directly sabotaged the situation.

"Sister! You still ended up with a wardrobe malfunction!"

Kanae only realized that her bathrobe had slipped down to her most private parts after Shinobu's comment, and her already rosy face turned even redder.

But as the older sister, how could she let herself be outdone by her younger sister?!

"He already saw me when he saved me that day. So what if I was exposed? I'm not like you. You did it on your own initiative."

'This is okay?'

Shinobu was taken aback by Kanae's astonishing words. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute them. So, with a sharp cry, she angrily dragged Kanae into the hot spring as well.

And so, the two sisters began to playfully wrestle in the men's hot spring pool...

---Aside---

Thanks to Faith in the Snow for the 10000 coins, and thanks to Spicy Sky Conquest for the 500 coins.

Chapter 183 Lin Tian, ​​now a tycoon again, starts to get cocky.

Early in the morning, accompanied by two Pillar-level swordsmen, two young servants led Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Lin Tian to a hidden warehouse in the Ubuyashiki mansion.

"Brother Lin Tian, ​​these gold bars in the warehouse are what I obtained by selling off family properties in various places over the past week. There are a full five tons. Please take a look."

After the warehouse door was pushed open by a Pillar-level swordsman, Kagaya Ubuyashiki raised his arm and spoke to Lin Tian.

Because of Muzan Kibutsuji, the Ubuyashiki family is no longer a powerful and influential clan in the country. However, in order to have enough funds to support a Demon Slayer Corps that specializes in hunting demons, they still strive to spread their businesses throughout the country, especially land.

While not the largest landlord, they were certainly among the top ten in the country.

During the Taisho era, the country's economy began to flourish, and the Ubuyashiki family also embarked on the path of business, using all the profits earned each year to support the expenses of the Demon Slayer Corps.

For a country with only 535 tons of gold reserves, it is highly unrealistic for a family to amass 10 tons of gold in a short period of time.

Moreover, the Ubuyashiki clan also has to support a Demon Slayer Corps with an extremely high mortality rate.

Therefore, in his deal with Lin Tian, ​​Kagaya Ubuyashiki proposed to pay half of the gold upfront, with the remaining half to be paid off within three years.

"Um..."

Lin Tian nodded, scanned the entire warehouse with his Observation Haki to confirm that there was enough gold inside, then raised his hand and released flames to begin melting the gold bars.

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly unleash flames powerful enough to engulf the entire warehouse, yet these flames caused no damage whatsoever, the rock pillars and water pillars standing on either side were startled and once again admired this man with immense strength.

"what!"

Unlike the Stone Pillar and Water Pillar, the two pageboys were not "calm." Having never even encountered a demon, they were startled to see a man wielding such a massive flame. They screamed and hid behind Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

The enormous number of gold bars were quickly melted, but Lin Tian did not retract the flames. Under his control, the flames divided the golden liquid into five parts. Only then did he pause and place them into his spatial backpack.

The golden liquid that entered the spatial backpack instantly solidified into gold nuggets. Lin Tian didn't need to wait for them to cool down.

"Brother Ubuya, I've accepted the gold. Let's discuss other collaborations."

Five tons of gold, which is equivalent to 3.5 million Bells. Lin Tian, ​​who suddenly became rich, was in a good mood, and his smile deepened.

"Brother Lin Tian, ​​are you referring to that apple with magical powers? I've been thinking about it seriously these past few days. I believe that the threat of Muzan Kibutsuji and the demons is no longer present. If the apple were to fall into the world, it could cause unpredictable disasters."

After all, an apple that can restore health is something those nobles who control national power will definitely try every means to seize. Even if I possess a Demon Slayer Corps, the Demon Slayer Corps was founded to eliminate demons, not to fight against our own people...

Kagaya Ubuyashiki remained silent for a while, harboring a not-so-good feeling about the sale of Apple.

Having always been frail and sickly, he experienced an unprecedented improvement in his health after tasting an apple from Avalon (a cute rabbit) at Lin Tian's suggestion.

Therefore, he is arguably the person in this world who understands Apple's abilities the most, besides the Butterfly Sisters.

Apple is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

If other unscrupulous people, especially those nobles who hold military power, were to learn of the value of the apple, he would already foresee what would happen in the future.
