Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

Could it be that Miss Kuroki was actually slacking off before?

Of course, if Miss Blackie were here, she would definitely curse him out, calling him a heartless scoundrel. She'd been on the farm all day; how could she have been slacking off?!

If we compare a small parfait to a unit of measurement (Part 1)

Miss Kuroki's work efficiency is roughly equivalent to that of dozens of Little Padmasons. Therefore, Sakura alone can replace at least a hundred slackers like Little Padmasons. She is simply a born working god.

Padoflis never imagined that one day, Xia Yuan would use her as the lowest-level unit of measurement.

"Sakura, you've worked hard. There's no rush regarding the farm construction for now."

“Let’s take it one step at a time… Now that today’s mission is complete, and the geological structure here has been affected by Honkai energy, a natural hot spring has formed in this area. How about I take you and Rin to the hot spring to relax and relieve your fatigue?”

This is a hot spring that he discovered by chance not long ago.

Secretly, without the bishop's knowledge, they abducted a Herrscher doll from the city and asked Velvet to design a draft of the mountain hot spring. With the design, they easily completed the infrastructure of the natural hot spring and built a series of fences around it to prevent small Honkai Beasts from accidentally wandering in.

Since he discovered the hot springs—

These days I often take Seele to soak in hot springs, but for some reason, when the Herrscher of Domination was building according to Velvet's design draft, she did not separate the hot spring in the middle. Instead, she designed it to be like a mixed-gender pool.

So usually, Seele soaks first, and he soaks last.

In this way, the lingering fragrance of Seele's body could still be felt in the hot spring, which indirectly caused him to also exude a very pleasant fragrance after soaking in the hot spring. Of course, Miss Black Seele was unaware of this.

After all, the other party has been weeding in the fields these past few days, how could they possibly know about the naturally formed hot spring in the mountains surrounding the farm? If the other party finds out, Miss Kuroki will probably grab him by the collar and demand an explanation for not telling him, right?

"Eh, a hot spring? But I am..."

Back to reality, Sakura didn't actually find the work of clearing weeds particularly tiring. If she needed to clear the entire farm, she could finish it in just three days without closing her eyes.

"Sister, sister, go, go~ Since our benefactor brother has said so, let's not refuse his kindness."

Rin, who had been eavesdropping, came to Sakura's side and began to fawn over her.

This is a perfect opportunity for my sister and her benefactor brother to strengthen their relationship. My sister, who is usually so dense, is still thinking about work. In order to change her benefactor brother to her brother-in-law and elder brother, and to make their relationship even closer, she will not be as rigid as her sister.

"Huh? Hot springs? Where are the hot springs?!"

Padofelis's pupils instantly turned into cat eyes.

Her back no longer ached, her legs weren't tired, and she could run ten meters in one breath without even breaking a sweat. She eagerly joined the group from behind, seemingly wanting to secretly follow Brother Xia Yuan.

Unable to persuade her younger sister, Sakura had no choice but to change her words, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, sir..."

"Sakura, relax and enjoy life here."

He gently patted the other person's shoulder, seemingly wanting Sakura to relax. If you compare Little Pado to a low-paid employee who only gets a basic salary every month, then Sakura would be the top salesperson no matter what job she does!

It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned Little Paddo, but since we have...

He naturally noticed the furtive figure hiding behind Sakura.

"Then let's set off, but before we do, isn't there an extra person among us? What do you think, Pado?"

"More? What extra people? Just right, not one less, hehe, Brother Xia Yuan, hurry up and lead the way, we can't wait any longer." Padofelis was rubbing her hands expectantly.

"Pado, have you cleared the weeds from your assigned area? You just came over like that?"

"Oh dear, Brother Xia Yuan, it's not too late to clean up after soaking in the hot spring~" Padofelis also tried to act cute like Rin, but it seemed to have little effect on Brother Xia Yuan.

"Sister Pado, didn't you say you hurt your back and were so tired you couldn't even straighten up?"

Rin stood with her hands on her hips, questioning the other person.

She couldn't let her sister Pado interfere with her sister's hot spring trip, which was meant to strengthen the bond between her and her benefactor brother.

"Ouch, it hurts again. It seems only a hot spring can heal the wounds I've suffered over the years." Padofelis sighed, while secretly glancing at her farmer, seemingly trying to observe his reaction.

Xia Yuan mercilessly exposed the other party's lies.

"Pado, stop pretending. First, finish clearing the weeds from your two acres of land before talking about soaking in the hot springs. I'll check on you when I come back after my soak. If you slack off during this time, little Pado, you know the consequences."

"what?"

Padofelis's face fell immediately, and she trembled as she protected her body with her small hands. She seemed to have not yet recovered from the torture she had just endured, and at least her body still retained the feeling from that time.

"Brother Xia Yuan, you can't treat people differently like this!"

But the other person's figure had already faded into the distance, and even the most reliable Sister Sakura could only leave behind a helpless look.

Padofelis counted on her little fingers.

One mu of land is more than 600 square meters, and two mu of land together are 1200 square meters.

She doesn't have Sister Ying's strength, and she forgot to bring the [canned food], which covers a full 1200 square meters. The rocks are so hard to clean. So, that's the only way she can use it? Hmph... Maternity leave is fine. It's better than being exhausted in the fields.

She had already memorized Xia Yuan's scent. She wasn't good at farming, but when it came to tracking, no one in Yingjie could compare to her.

Chapter 737 My Sister's Rival in Love

[Padophilia is secretly following them—]

"Sakura, Rin, we've arrived."

Just as everyone was going in, Xia Yuan and his group bumped into a certain naturally arrogant Miss Hei hope who had just come out of the hot spring.

"A bad guy?!"

"Miss Kuroki?" the two asked in unison.

Miss Hei Xi, wrapped tightly in a bath towel and fresh out of the bath, exuded an alluring scent. Looking at the two sisters, one big and one small, following behind Xia Yuan, she couldn't help but say sourly, "You naughty guy, you really have a lot of free time. You haven't done much work, and you're already taking people to hot springs. Sigh, I don't have that kind of luck. I even had to be told about hot springs by Xi'er."

Hearing the sour tone in the other person's voice, oh no, why is Hei hope so jealous?

So what if he didn't tell her about the hot springs? And the work was something she wanted to do herself. He never asked Miss Kurohi to do the work for him; he just took Hieru with him to the farm to deliver food to her.

Every time Xier asked him if he was tired or needed help, she would always shake her head and refuse. It was a completely voluntary act, and she never forced him.

He's a conscientious farmer; he wouldn't do something like exploiting his subordinates.

Before Sakura and Xia Yuan could even speak, Rin, the younger sister, could tell at a glance that her older sister was up to no good and was clearly the kind of person not to be trifled with. However, she hadn't been idle these past few days.

To adapt to her current life, she has studied a lot of related knowledge and has become a qualified expert in palace intrigue.

Judging from the tone of voice, the other person is definitely the older sister's biggest rival in love.

With her dull and taciturn personality, how could she possibly win against the other party? But fortunately, she had a good younger sister who said, "How could that be? My benefactor brother was just doing his duty as a host."

She affectionately wrapped her arm around Xia Yuan's, as if asserting her ownership over Miss Hei hope.

After all, who would refuse a child who wants to hold hands? This kind of thing can't be expected of the rigid older sister, so she has to deal with the other rivals so that her benefactor brother can officially become her elder brother.

"Since this lady has already prepared her tea, please make way."

"Tsk~"

Miss Blackie clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. All she wanted to do now was to snuggle into Seele's warm embrace. She couldn't be bothered to argue with a child. Even if she saw the Herrscher of Knowledge, she wouldn't bother to argue with her.

He raised his head, lifted his face, and arrogantly brushed past the crowd.

However, when passing by Xia Yuan... Miss Hei Xi originally wanted to secretly stomp on him to vent her anger and let him know that she was not so easy to bully, but unexpectedly she tripped over the bath towel under her feet instead.

"Ok?"

"Huh?!"

Two exclamations followed.

As Miss Hei hope tripped, her bath towel slipped off and she fell smoothly into Xia Yuan's arms.

"You, you, you..."

Although she had seen similar scenes in Gretchen's comics, the visual impact before her eyes was incomparable to anything in the comics. She never expected that the other party would use such a method to attract the attention of her benefactor's brother. She was indeed too naive.

Rin's face turned red, and she covered her eyes, but still managed to peek at the details through her fingers.

Sakura was completely at a loss.

In her past career as an assassin, or after becoming a hero, she had never encountered a situation like this before. She only needed to follow orders and missions step by step. But now, if she were to intervene rashly, wouldn't that be inappropriate?

She took a step forward and then pulled her foot back, clearly hesitant.

If I help him up myself, will it cause some kind of trouble for Mr. Xia Yuan?

"You bad guy, you..."

Miss Hei hope kept pounding the other person's chest with her little hands, feeling wronged. How dare they make her look bad in front of outsiders! Little Xi'er has lost face. She'll remember this grudge for now!

He angrily wrapped the towel around himself again, glared fiercely at the bad guy, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was so embarrassing... She tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. She'd keep this grudge in mind and settle the score with the bad guy when no one was around. She really couldn't do it in front of outsiders, so she'd just have to give him a little face. Humph!

Watching her departing figure, he felt that Miss Kuroki was more like slinking away from the scene in disgrace.

After experiencing this—

Xia Yuan and the other two remained silent for a long time, as if nothing had happened. They walked in silence until they arrived at the building that had been constructed around the natural hot spring.

Even through the curtain, he could feel the steam rising from inside. He lifted the curtain and gestured for the two sisters to go in first.

Rin raised her question about this.

"My benefactor, aren't you going to come in and soak in the hot spring with me?"

To prevent a repeat of what had just happened, he declined Rin's invitation without hesitation.

"The hot spring wasn't divided into sections with wooden railings when it was first built, so Rin, you and your sister can soak first. I'll soak after you come out." Xia Yuan leisurely lay back on the wooden chair behind the counter, just like the manager of this natural hot spring.

This was completely different from what she had planned.

How can her benefactor brother, who won't go to the hot springs with her and her sister, foster a closer relationship and become her elder brother? Besides, her sister probably has more than just that Blackie sister as a rival.

It seems that both Ellie and Mebius are also eyeing their benefactor brother.

How could her sister stand out from so many beautiful girls all by herself? She quickly ran to the other person's side and used her small hand to pull Xia Yuan, who had just sat on the wooden stool, up. With the physical strength of a Herrscher, pulling up an adult was still an easy task.

Rin pulled the other person and her sister behind the curtain and blocked their way with the wooden fences on both sides.

This road is blocked.

"Sister, you and my benefactor brother should soak in the hot spring first. I'll go after you're done. In the meantime, I'll be the temporary manager of this hot spring and I absolutely won't let anyone disturb you!"

"Rin, stop fooling around and move the fence away quickly."

"I won't listen, I won't listen. After you and your benefactor brother finish soaking in the hot spring, Rin will naturally move the wooden fence." She covered her ears with her small hands, letting it go in one ear and out the other, pretending that she couldn't hear anything.

Sakura said somewhat helplessly, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, my little sister was just being naughty, please forgive her."

Chapter 738 Sister Pado, you little cat who steals fish!

Rin was also secretly listening to her older sister and benefactor brother's conversation outside the curtain. How could she be so naughty!

She was clearly creating an opportunity for her silly older sister, but unfortunately, her sister was as stubborn as a blockhead, too serious, and didn't know how to be flexible at all. If it were her, she would have already pinned her benefactor brother down on a small stool around the hot spring and carefully scrubbed his back.

But there's nothing I can do; she's the other person's sister.

The sweet little girl should always remind her older sister, so Rin loudly reminded her through the curtain so that Sakura would understand:

"Sister, I won't let you out unless you go to the hot spring with your benefactor brother. How about we start by helping him scrub his back?" She had already given such an obvious hint, hoping that her silly sister would take the opportunity.

Sakura fell into deep thought at her sister's words. Come to think of it, she hadn't properly repaid Mr. Xia Yuan yet.

"Your Mightiness......"

Before Ying could even speak, Xia Yuan brought over a small wooden stool, seemingly gesturing for Ying to sit on it. "Ying, sit down quickly. You've been busy all day. Today I'm going to reward our great hero."

"A great contributor?"

"Of course, Sakura, you did more work in just one hour than Little Pado did in a month. You are definitely a great contributor to this farm, and also my savior."

He still remembered the targets set for him by the bishop.

If he fails to meet the bitter gourd production target, he will be thrown into Siberia to spend his days with the cold and Honkai Beasts. Therefore, he wants to give his reliable and capable employee a super comfortable back massage, a treatment that Miss Kurohi has never enjoyed before.

Sakura was momentarily dazed. Seeing that she couldn't refuse, she had no choice but to obediently sit on the small stool that the other party had prepared.

"Your Excellency... what should we do next?"

"Sakura, don't be nervous, don't tense up your body, try to relax your mind. If you can, you can take off your divine armor a little."

Removing the divine armor in front of you?!

Sakura seemed to become more nervous, but she still slowly took off her divine robes, revealing her fair back to the other person. Perhaps this was what it meant to be honest with each other.

The hazy steam concealed Sakura's nervousness; this was the first time she had exposed her back to a man.

Next, will we have to bathe together with Mr. Xia Yuan...?
