For the past two days, Aya Shameimaru has been trying to find something to hold against Himekaidouka because of this matter.

As the most skilled tengu reporter, Aya Shameimaru had never heard of the fake tengu building an industrial base.

If Ji Haitangguo hadn't been Xia Xun's exclusive interviewer, she would have already badly slandered Ji Haitangguo, calling her a liar and publishing false news.

"Xia Xun, the fake Tianpeng will definitely become a new industrial base for the Monster Mountain in the future." Holding Xia Xun's hands tightly, Ji Haitangguo looked excited.

"Oh, oh~"

Looking at the Ji Haitang fruit, whose excitement was palpable, Xia Xun paused for a moment, then smiled.

Although I don't know why she was happier than me.

But an industrial base built by itself seems pretty great.

Combined with his creative abilities, Xia Xun always felt that he could research a lot of amazing things.

Looking at Xia Xun's smile, Ji Haitangguo, after her initial excitement, realized her bold move, and a blush quickly rose on her face.

She loosened her grip, shyly raising her camera to hide her flushed face, and said softly, "Xia Xun, could you please show me around Rainbow Dragon Cave?"

Chapter 236 Shanghai Wants to Grow

night.

Deep within the magic forest.

Xia Xun descended from the sky and arrived at Alice's door.

Just as I was about to knock, the door clicked open.

A beaming Shen Qi emerged from behind the door and cheerfully grabbed Xia Xun, saying, "Come in, come in!"

"Alice and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Following Shenqi's footsteps, Xia Xun went straight up to the second floor and arrived at Alice's study.

"Alice, look who's here!"

Entering the house like a precious treasure, Shenqi pushed Xia Xun in front of Alice, smiling at the two of them.

She knew that Alice, being a girl, must be a little shy and afraid to see Xia Xun right now.

However, considering herself a mature elder, Shinki decided to help the two get along well.

"Xia Xun, you've arrived."

Alice, who was flipping through the magic book, tried her best to remain calm, but her slightly red earlobes betrayed her inner shyness.

She couldn't help but feel shy when she thought about the argument she had with Reimu Hakurei in front of Natsumi yesterday.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Looking at the somewhat nervous Alice, Xia Xun smiled slightly: "Teacher Alice."

He then walked directly to Alice's side and sat down right next to her, closing the distance between them so quickly that they could clearly feel each other's breath.

"Next, I'll need Alice's careful guidance." Xia Xun looked down at the magic teacher, appearing earnest in her learning.

Alice tensed up at the close proximity of their breaths. Her sapphire eyes softened as she looked at Xia Xun, who made no attempt to hide his affection.

"Is that so? Then I'll teach you properly." Alice leaned gently against Xia Xun, opened the magic book in her hand, and began the lesson in this very intimate manner.

huh?

Shinki, sitting to the side, stared blankly at the scene, feeling that something was amiss.

Even though I haven't done anything, how come Xia Xun and Alice seem to be fine?

but.

Looking at Shanghai, who had already flown onto Xia Xun's shoulder and was acting coquettishly.

Shenqi got up and wanted to join them, but a portal opened at that moment.

"Lady Shenqi, it's time to go home." Yumeko appeared in the room and bowed slightly to Shenqi.

"Ugh, what happened?" Kagami looked dejected and looked up at Yumeko expectantly, "Yumeko, can I play in Gensokyo for a few more days? I finally managed to get along well with Alice and Natsumi."

Xia Xun, who had just started learning, also raised her head and looked in the direction of Shen Qi and Yumeko.

"Lady Shenqi, please don't be willful." Yumeko maintained her elegant maid demeanor and shook her head at the coquettish Shenqi: "You have been away from the Demon Realm for a week now, and everyone there is still waiting for you."

Okay~

Nodding dejectedly, Shen Qi suddenly turned around, rushed to Xia Xun and Alice and hugged them tightly: "Alice, Xia Xun, I will finish up my business in the Demon Realm soon and come back to see you."

Remember to think of me!

"Yes, yes, I will miss Shenqi very much." Xia Xun nodded quickly, and smiled at Shenqi, who was full of reluctance, "You are always welcome to my home."

"I will clean Ms. Shenqi's room properly," Alice added.

Upon hearing their response, Shenqi was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. Finally, she couldn't hold back and kissed Xia Xun and Alice's cheeks, fulfilling her wish of the past few days.

Then, reluctantly, she let go and walked into the portal, turning back every step of the way.

"Then, Your Highnesses, farewell." Mengzi bowed respectfully to Xia Xun and Alice before disappearing from the room.

Suddenly, Alice felt that the room was much more spacious.

"It's alright, Alice, we'll be by your side," Penglai said, flying to Alice's side.

“Yeah, yeah.” Shanghai nodded quickly, sitting happily on Xia Xun’s shoulders, “And Xia Xun will be with Alice too, right?”

"Ok, I know."

Alice nodded softly, a gentle expression appearing on her face as she looked at the three people who cared about her.

"Teacher Shenqi will definitely be back soon, let's continue our studies."

Under warm lighting.

Xia Xun stood close to Alice, listening attentively as she explained profound magical knowledge.

As each skill reached level ten, he felt that the next breakthrough was just around the corner.

Although Xia Xun is unlikely to encounter danger given his current connections in Gensokyo, he plans to venture into the underworld next.

Just from Kurotani Yamame's brief description, Natsumi could roughly imagine how dangerous the place was.

Therefore, he studied very diligently.

"Ugh, so boring."

Sitting on Xia Xun's shoulders, Shanghai watched the two studying diligently, her little eyes darting around.

Although she knows it's wrong to disturb her studies, Shanghai is quite mischievous, reflecting Alice's passionate side.

Especially since she participated in the game between Kazami Yuuka and Natsumi the day before yesterday afternoon, she is really looking forward to today.

So, Shanghai grabbed Xia Xun's clothes and stabbed him directly in the chest.

"The properties of the water element... hmm~"

Alice, who was explaining knowledge to Xia Xun, suddenly stopped and her gaze quickly fell on Shanghai, who was crawling around inside Xia Xun's shirt like a little mouse.

The images and sensations that made her dizzy kept coming from Shanghai, making Alice blush.

"Xia, Xia Xun, hurry up and bring Shanghai out."

"It's alright, it's alright." Xia Xun smiled and comforted Alice, who was looking a little anxious. "I'm very happy that Shanghai is so friendly to me."

"Although a bit mischievous, it's like a little kitten, very cute... hiss~"

As they were talking, Xia Xun suddenly gasped, and Alice froze instantly.

Chest area.

A warm, itchy sensation came through, and Xia Xun felt incredibly strange.

And this rhythm is so similar to Yuuka's movements from the day before yesterday.

The members of the House of Commons instinctively looked up, and Xia Xun looked at Alice, whose face was flushed, and felt that she was a feast for the eyes.

But he held back and quickly reached out and took out Shanghai.

Holding the bewildered little girl in his hand, Xia Xun helplessly rubbed her cheeks: "Shanghai, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

"I want to try Xia Xun's flavor." Shanghai tilted her head. "Because I saw that older sister do it, and I want to try it too."

"Xia Xun, can I sleep with you tonight?" Shanghai, who has a face almost identical to Alice's, blinked her eyes and looked at him expectantly.

She wanted to eat some more of that white stuff; last time, Yuuka Kazami had forced her to eat a lot of it.

Although the taste was a bit strange, Shanghai found that she didn't dislike it. Especially after sensing the complex emotions of shyness, joy, and embarrassment emanating from Alice, she wanted to try it again.

Experiencing such emotions in Shanghai makes her feel as if she has grown up.

"No way!"

Alice could clearly feel the emotions emanating from Shanghai and snatched her back from Xia Xun's hands.

Alice hugged Shanghai tightly, her face full of shyness.

"Today's lessons are over, Xia Xun, you can go home now."

"I need to teach Shanghai a lesson again."

Chapter 237 Call Me Boss~

【Spring 4.7】

"Good morning."

Yawning, Xia Xun led Kazama Yuka downstairs.

He sat down on the sofa, took the breakfast that Shion had prepared, and ate a bite. The warm food nourished his hungry stomach.

"Master, all the ore from yesterday has been smelted!"

The sound of footsteps rang out, and Duoduo Liang Xiaosan shoved Xia Xun onto his back, his voice full of anticipation for praise.

"Little Umbrella is really amazing."

Xia Xun rubbed the head of Duoduo Liang Xiaosan, who was leaning on her shoulder, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Hehe, actually it wasn't just my contribution."

Smiling happily, Tatara Kousan nuzzled Xia Xun's hand and pulled Lumia behind her over: "Lumia helped out last night too. Thanks to her, I was able to smelt those ores."

"I...I also want to help big brother." Lumia raised her little face and showed a cute smile.

"Thank you, Lumia." Xia Xun smiled and patted the little guy's head, but looked her up and down curiously.

"Lumia, have you grown up a bit?" Xia Xun asked with a puzzled look, picking Lumia up from under his arms and finding that she had indeed grown quite a bit since he first saw her.

He clearly grew from looking like a seven or eight-year-old to looking like an eleven or twelve-year-old.

"Am I all grown up?" Lumia looked confused, but subconsciously touched her tummy: "It must be because my big brother made me eat my fill."

“Lumia, you seem to have become smarter.” Upon hearing this, Tatara Kousan’s face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

She had just said that silly Lumia seemed a little different since yesterday; it turned out she had grown up.

Thinking of this, Tatara Kosuke panicked and rushed in front of Lumia, making a face at her: "Wow~, I'm going to eat Lumia up!"

“But Lumia doesn’t taste good, Little Umbrella Sister.” Lumia blinked her big eyes and grabbed a piece of fried fish from Xia Xun’s bowl with her little hand and fed it to Little Umbrella’s mouth: “This tastes good. If Little Umbrella Sister eats the fish, she won’t eat Lumia, okay?”

Click~

Taking a vicious bite of the fried fish, Tatara Kouuka looked at Lumia with a disappointed expression: "Damn it, now even Lumia can't be scared anymore."

"I really wanted to scare Lumia more, improve my ability to frighten people, and then go to the village to scare other people."

"Hmph, I told you Xiaosan, your pranks don't work."

Sunny, who had just flown in through the window, crossed her arms and landed triumphantly on Xia Xun's shoulder, looking down at the two of them, completely ignoring Xia Xun's nagging about leaving the door.

“But don’t worry, because I’m here.” With her head tilted back, Sunny declared confidently as Xia Xun pinched her cheeks, “Later I will lead you to see what real pranks are.”

"As your leader, I will show those kids who ignored your pranks what real fear is."

"Really, Sunny~!" Tatara Kosan's eyes lit up instantly.

“Call me Boss Sunny~” Sunny tilted her head back, her little face full of pride.
