After calming down and recovering her mood, Erina reluctantly left Li Xuan’s arms, and said with red eyes to Li Xuan who was looking at her tenderly, “Thank you, Xuan-kun”. If it weren’t for the occasion and the people around, Erina would have wanted to “kiss” him directly.

On the other side, Asuna and Hisako were relieved to see that Erina’s mood had finally improved.

At this time, Asuna asked Li Xuan, “Mr. Xuan, where is the wild boar that attacked us just now?”

Li Xuan looked at the two women who were also looking at him curiously, and pointed to a large tree that was broken in half about six or seven meters away. Under the tree there was a huge black shadow that was still twitching slightly.

Li Xuan saw that the three girls had returned to normal, so he looked around and did not see any other wild boars, so he said to the three girls, “I’ll go over and take a look, you guys wait here.”

“Wait a minute, Xuanjun, be careful of danger.” Asuna saw that Li Xuan was still thinking about going over to see the wild boar, and immediately said worriedly.

However, seeing Li Xuan’s calm eyes, Asuna suddenly felt relieved. Erina was about to say it out loud, but she didn’t say it after Asuna finished speaking.

Li Xuan walked towards the wild boar’s location. When he got closer, he saw that the wild boar was already dead, but the remaining instincts of its nerves and muscle tissues had not completely stopped.

After checking, they found that the wild boar’s hard skull was shattered by the kick just now, breaking into several pieces, and then hitting the giant tree, killing it instantly.

Li Xuan looked at the tree that had been hit. The tree that required five or six people to hug was now half broken. One could imagine how big the impact was. Li Xuan had not expected that his kick would have such power. Oh, and the wild boar’s huge body also had an effect.

However, Li Xuan’s experiment did not stop there. Li Xuan’s mind moved slightly, and he stretched out his index finger. A dazzling golden light appeared. Li Xuan flicked it at the wild boar’s body. The golden light instantly left Li Xuan’s finger, appeared on the wild boar’s body, and attached to it.

After leaving Li Xuan’s fingers, the golden light instantly turned into a ball of golden-red flame. The moment it touched the wild boar’s corpse, its range quickly expanded. In less than a second, the golden-red flame wrapped around the wild boar’s corpse. After a few seconds, only a charred pattern was left in its place.

The three women who saw this scene from a distance were stunned.

Chapter 24 The Bunny and the Hunting Party

“Xuan, Xuan Jun, this fire, and, you…” After Asuna reacted, she asked Li Xuan a little dazedly.

Erina and Hisako had seen some of Nakiri Senzaemon’s supernatural methods, so although they were surprised, they were not as shocked as Asuna.

After Li Xuan finished testing the combat effectiveness of the Origin Dao Sutra and dealt with the scene, he returned to the three women. Facing Asuna’s question, he looked at Asuna with a dazed expression, smiled slightly, walked to Asuna’s side, stretched out his hand to hug Asuna, who was still in a daze, and gently kissed the girl on the forehead, then said, “Come back to your senses, little fool.”

The slightly moist touch on her forehead brought Asuna back to her senses from her daze. Looking at Li Xuan who was hugging her, the love in her eyes was almost tearing.

However, Li Xuan still gave Asuna a brief explanation, and then said to the girl, “After all, you are the descendant of a world-class chaebol. You can’t sit in this position without some ability, and I am strong enough to protect you better.”

Hearing this, Asuna’s face turned red, and she shyly left Li Xuan’s arms and said, “I know, Xuan-jun is the strongest, and you are not allowed to call me an idiot.” After leaving, Asuna turned around and came to Arato Hisako. She did not forget her destination for tonight.

Looking at the lively girl, Li Xuan smiled dotingly. In the distance, Hisako Arato also began to lead the way again. Erina looked at Asuna with a little envy. Li Xuan followed. When he passed by the golden-haired girl, he saw the girl’s envious eyes, chuckled, put out his hand and rubbed Erina’s head, slightly messing up the golden-haired girl’s long hair, “Don’t be in a daze, let’s go.”

The touch on her head woke Erina up from her daze. She saw Li Xuan’s big hand on her head, looking at her gently with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Looking at Li Xuan’s big hand leaving, Erina felt a little reluctant. However, looking at Asuna who was calling and waving to her in front, and Li Xuan who was waiting for her beside her, Erina didn’t want to stay here. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Xuan’s hand, squeezed it tightly and then let go, said to Li Xuan, “Bad guy”, and then ran towards Asuna and Hisako with a smile.

Li Xuan felt the soft touch left on his hand by the golden-haired girl’s sudden attack, smiled, quickened his steps to catch up with the three girls, and thought to himself, “The little rabbit is in the cage.”

The four of them had been walking for less than a minute when they heard movement in the surrounding woods again. This time, the three Asuna girls returned to Li Xuan’s side immediately.

Golden light flowed in Li Xuan’s body, and he detected the movements around him. Currently, if Li Xuan used all his strength to operate the golden light in his body, it could cover a range of up to 100 meters. The source of the movement in the woods was not far away. Li Xuan “saw” the sound less than 50 meters away.

Four or five people wearing farm uniforms and holding forks were searching around. Li Xuan, who saw them talking, took a picture of Asuna and Erina, who were nervously holding his hands, and said, “Don’t be nervous, they are farm staff.”

Totsuki College has a farm, which is also behind the college. Oftentimes, cooking has very high requirements for the quality of ingredients, so Totsuki College will try its best to keep the ingredients fresh. However, some farmed animals sometimes break through the scope of the farm and run up the mountain.

People at several farms far away saw from the surveillance footage that a tusk boar had escaped. Although it was only a level one food, it had strong attack power and could easily kill an ordinary person.

So as soon as the farm discovered that the tusk boars they raised had escaped, they immediately sent out a hunting team to start searching. The hunting team was almost finding the target along the animal trail, but they were unable to be sure for the last few dozen meters. Not far ahead was a stone staircase, and fearing that someone might encounter the tusk boar, the hunting team quickly headed towards the stone staircase. Before they arrived, they heard the sound of people chatting.

someone!

The hot springs of Totsuki Academy are quite famous within the academy. The spring water can be used for cooking, and there is a hot spring complex on the extinct volcano on the central mountainside. People come here from time to time. Fearing that people who are chatting might be attacked by tusk boars, the hunting team accelerated towards the stone staircase. As soon as they came out, they were discovered by Erina, who then began to blame them.

“You are from the Totsuki Farm. Does that mean the problem with the tusk boar just now was yours? How exactly are you responsible for the security of the farm?” After hearing the information Li Xuan told her, plus the farm clothes he wore when he walked out of the woods, Erina started to scold him directly.

The hunting team was already annoyed that they couldn’t find the escaped Tusky Boar, and now they were being blamed as soon as they met them. The members of the hunting team were just about to retort a few words, but when they looked closely, they were immediately shocked. Why was Miss Totsuki here?

The members of the hunting team immediately checked the surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief when they found no tusk boar. If the young lady was attacked by the tusk boar, the lightest punishment for them would be unemployment.

Four or five people from the hunting team came to the stone staircase and bowed their heads to accept Erina’s scolding. Erina took out all the resentment that she had just been frightened by the tusk boar on the hunting team. In the end, after venting her anger, Erina also imposed the final punishment on them. She said to them, “You will lose your perfect attendance this month, and I hope you can see your duty review at the farm in the dean’s office tomorrow.”

“How many escaped? What species are they?” Erina asked the hunting team seriously.

“Miss, a tusky boar, a first-class ingredient, has escaped. It dug a tunnel under the electric fence and ran out to the mountain. Miss Erina, it’s best for you and your friends to leave with us first.” The hunting team didn’t want to catch the tusky boar anymore. Their young lady was still there, so they decided to send her to a safe place first.

“No need. We encountered a tusk boar when we came up from downstairs just now. We have already dealt with it. You guys go back.” Erina breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, only one ran out and she encountered it. Li Xuan was by her side. Otherwise, if other students encountered it, it would be troublesome if something happened.

“It turns out that the problem has been solved. You are worthy of being a young lady.” The members of the hunting team showed a relieved expression and praised Erina.

After learning that the tusk boar had been dealt with, the hunting team apologized again, said goodbye to Erina and her group, and went down the mountain.

After hearing the noises in the woods twice, the three Asuna girls did not dare to go too far away from Li Xuan. In case another tusk-tusked wild boar that could dig tunnels came, they didn’t know whether Li Xuan would be able to save them in time if they were too far away.

However, these worries were a bit unnecessary. After the next ten minutes of driving, there were no accidents along the way. The four of them looked at the gorgeous stars in the sky and arrived at the hot spring on the mountainside.

Chapter 25 Hot Springs and Folk Recipes

The Totsuki hot spring is located halfway up the mountain, and is managed by a grandmother in her sixties and an old lady in her fifties.

When she saw that the person coming was Erina, the mother-in-law at the front desk immediately stood up, bowed to Erina, and said, “Good evening, young lady.”

Erina also responded to her mother-in-law with a salute, and then asked, “Granny Atsuko, you’re welcome. Are there many people in the hot spring now?”

The old lady named Wenzi looked at the registration book and replied, “There is no one in the three hot springs now.”

This hot spring bath halfway up the mountain is divided into three parts, but they are all in the form of private rooms, for men, women, and mixed. Naturally, Li Xuan is in the male room, and Erina and the other two girls are in the female room.

However, Erina deliberately chose two special positions when she was choosing. When Grandma Atsuko saw this, she showed a knowing expression, and her eyes seemed to be thoughtful.

Li Xuan got the key to his private room, opened the door, and there was a changing cabinet right inside. Li Xuan changed into a bathrobe specially used for hot spring bathing, and his sturdy body was exposed to the air. His streamlined muscles were arched, but not bloated, and distributed just right. He was the type who had muscles when he took off his clothes and looked thin when he was dressed. He was full of hormones, but it was a pity that this was a men’s private room, and Li Xuan was the only one in the room.

Li Xuan, wearing a bathrobe, walked down to the hot spring that was emitting a faint white vapor. With artificial transformation and the blessing of the volcano, the temperature of the hot spring water was maintained at the most comfortable temperature for the human body. There were green plants on both sides, a long wooden bench next to it, and a half-missing roof above. You can soak in the hot spring while appreciating the starry sky, which is refreshing.

Li Xuan just sat down and felt the soaking in the hot spring, while his consciousness was studying the origin of the Taoist scriptures in his body. Li Xuan’s consciousness passed through the underground of the hot spring, and he saw that the gray-black magma had lost the power of flowing and solidified towards the volcanic rocks nearly sixty or seventy meters underground. Countless hot air was rising, and finally provided the temperature for the hot spring. Li Xuan had an urge to turn his golden light into fire and throw it down to see if the dead volcano could become an active volcano.

However, this thought was extinguished as soon as it appeared. After all, he was not the only one here. Asuna and the others were also here. Moreover, this was not the disgusting Sakurajima that kept jumping back and forth before he crossed over.

Putting aside some distractions, Li Xuan is preparing for high school life after school starts while studying the origin of Taoist scriptures. Should he hold an explosive entrance ceremony when school starts?

“Hehe, wow, the water temperature is so comfortable, just like being in Xuanjun’s arms.” Currently, the only one who can say this with confidence is Asuna.

Sure enough, the next second, Erina’s surprised voice was heard, “Hey~ Asuna, you have no shame, how can you say it so bluntly, look at me tickling you”, and after Erina said that, the sounds of the two girls fighting and the splashing of water continued one after another. After two or three minutes, the fighting stopped because the two girls were a little exhausted.

“Wow, Erina, your towel can actually float, and so can Hisako’s. Can cooking have this effect? ​​Please be sure to teach me,” Asuna said in a shocked voice.

Next to Li Xuan is a row of tall, tight and thick wooden fences, and next to them are Asuna’s three daughters who are taking a hot spring bath. At this time, Asuna saw that after the three of them came down from the hot spring, the towels in front of Erina and Hisako were actually floating on the water due to external force. Then she looked at herself. Although she had some strength, she was much worse in comparison. So she attributed it to the fact that Erina and Hisako were experts in gourmet food, and wondered if there were any specially prepared dishes for them.

Erina was a little amused when she heard this, and could only explain to Asuna who was confused, “Asuna, you’re overthinking it. There’s no such thing as a dish specifically for this. Hisako and I are born like this, okay? I also want to be the same height as you.”

After getting a positive reply, Asuna’s heart finally died, and she could only sit back in the hot spring with an indignant look on her face. At this time, the three girls were sitting together. Erina saw Asuna’s indignant little face, and suddenly a rumor she had heard came to her mind. Looking at Asuna’s unwilling expression, she finally decided to say it out, so she whispered to Asuna, “Asuma, do you care about this?”

“Actually, I didn’t really care about this. In my current state, I feel quite relaxed when I walk or run,” Asuna began to express her own views. The next second, she changed the subject and talked about Li Xuan. She remembered what Li Xuan said when she got out of the elevator downstairs of her company today, so she continued, “But I saw many people on the Internet say that they like to lower their heads so that their toes are not visible.” After saying this, Asuna’s face suddenly turned red, and she quickly lowered her head to soak half of her face in the hot spring, revealing her eyes and nose.

“Wow, Asuna, you actually paid attention to this. I was wrong. When I knew you before, you were so pure and beautiful. I suspect that your mind is now filled with colors. Give me back the pure Asuna.” After saying this, Erina started playing with Asuna again, and this time she also involved Hisako Arato, who was watching the show on the side.

After another round of fighting, the three of them stopped and Erina said to Asuna beside her, “Asuina, I heard a folk remedy from Daxia. I heard that it is for this purpose. I wonder if it is useful. Do you want to listen to it?”

After hearing Erina’s words, Asuna immediately became energetic, and Hisako Arato beside her also glanced over.

“First of all, I have never used it, so I don’t know if it will be useful.” Erina was also unsure, so she spoke up.

“Yeah, I get it. Erina, just tell me. I won’t blame you even if it’s useless.” Asuna nodded her head in response.

Erina calmed down and said softly, “Drink milk in the morning and eat more papaya.” After saying that, Erina stopped and looked at Asuna’s expression.

I didn’t expect Asuna to look surprised. This surprised Erina too. This shouldn’t be her expression. Could it be that Asuna also knew this? Erina looked puzzled.

After seeing Erina’s expression, Asuna hurriedly explained, “No, Erina, why do you have that expression? Although I know this method, I only found out about it this morning.”

“Oh~~ You just found out this morning. How did you know it?” Erina looked at Asuna, whose face turned red again, with a gossipy look on her face, and said in a teasing tone.

Looking at the curious and inquiring eyes of the two, Asuna had to whisper, “Yes, Xuan-kun told me.” After saying that, Asuna seemed to have steam coming out of her head.

Then, under Erina’s questioning, Asuna told what happened in the morning. Of course, Asuna did not tell Erina that Li Xuan helped her father. Asuna still knew the seriousness of the matter.

After hearing Asuna’s words, Erina and Hisako lowered their heads at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief, which once again caused Asuna to riot.

The pleasant and seductive sounds of fighting were heard again in the hot spring bath in the women’s room.

Chapter 26 Erina’s Courage and Treatment of Unparalleled Taste

– Erina Nakiri

Different from the happy and playful atmosphere on Asuna’s side, Li Xuan’s side is only separated by a tall wooden fence, but the wooden fence cannot block out the sound.

Hearing the three women discussing and occasionally saying something that would not pass the review, Li Xuan immediately stopped his research on the Origin of Taoism Scripture, got up and walked out of the hot spring, preparing to go outside to enjoy the night breeze and lower the temperature, as he was feeling a little irritated.

Although the sound of water caused by Li Xuan standing up was not loud, Erina, who had been paying attention, still heard it. She rolled her eyes and said to Asuna and Hisako who were playing, “I’m a little urgent, I’m going to the bathroom, you guys soak first.” Erina then put on protective equipment and a dry bathrobe, and trotted out. In the eyes of Asuna and Hisako, this behavior meant that Erina might be really in a hurry, so she trotted out.

Erina walked out of the corridor and looked at the private room next door that had not been opened yet. She breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath, encouraged herself, and knocked on the door of the only closed private room for men. After hearing Li Xuan’s lazy voice, Erina immediately opened the door and rushed in in a bathrobe in Li Xuan’s slightly surprised eyes.

After coming in, Erina quickly closed the door, then turned around and looked at Li Xuan, who had not had time to change into a bathrobe but had already taken off the upper body of his bathrobe. His perfect and strong body made Erina forget the words she was about to say. She stared blankly at the perfect work in front of her and swallowed unconsciously.

It was not until Li Xuan pulled up the bathrobe that Erina came back to her senses. She withdrew her eyes with a bit of reluctance and pity, and met Li Xuan’s pure black and deep eyes. At this time, his eyes were a bit gentle, playful and exploratory? With that perfect face, Erina’s face suddenly became the same color as Asuna’s face just now. What color? The question is why the air conditioner is not turned on.

Li Xuan took a few steps towards Erina. Under Li Xuan’s pressure, Erina’s body retreated unconsciously until she felt her back touching the wall. However, Li Xuan had already stretched out his hand and gave Erina a wall-dong service. He looked down at Erina and asked, “Erina, what’s the matter with you coming here now?”

“I, Xuan-kun, I, um~ I like you, Xuan-kun, I, Erina Nakiri likes you.” Erina’s courageous confession surprised Li Xuan, who was about to tease the golden-haired girl. Her courage is commendable.

Seeing the golden-haired girl closing her eyes and biting her lips after she finished her confession, Li Xuan knew that he could not joke anymore, so he withdrew his hands that were supporting the wall, and then stretched out his hands to hug the golden-haired girl’s delicate body into his arms. Erina opened her eyes the moment Li Xuan hugged her, and her eyes were full of joy.

Seeing Erina looking up at him, Li Xuan didn’t act pretentiously. He just lowered his head and enjoyed a good tea. The contractor went online to work and measured the land area and how many uneven roads there were on the construction site. The result made Li Xuan quite satisfied. The area of ​​this construction site was about the same as the previous one. Although the terrain was a bit lower, the raised road surface was just suitable for the engineering construction that Li Xuan liked.

In the only men’s hot spring room with the door closed, a beautiful couple was kissing passionately. After a long time, Erina loosened her arms around Li Xuan’s neck and hugged Li Xuan’s broad waist instead. She was panting heavily and hugged Li Xuan tightly with both hands. Her rosy cheeks and watery eyes were filled with deep love.

“Xuan-kun, I like you.” Looking up at Li Xuan who was only a few centimeters away from her, Erina confessed again.

This time, Li Xuan also responded to Erina. He lowered his head and gently kissed the golden-haired girl’s lips, saying, “I like Erina too?”

However, Li Xuan did not forget the main thing and added, “But, Erina, can you accept that I also like Asuna and the others?” Li Xuan must make this matter clear, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the fire in his own backyard.

Hearing Li Xuan’s words, Erina’s body stiffened, but relaxed the next second. She leaned over and bit Li Xuan’s chest a little harder, then quickly let go, feeling a little reproachful and distressed, and said, “Greedy man, who made me fall in love with you at first sight? Does it hurt?” After saying that, she blew a breath with her little mouth and rubbed gently with her little hands.

Li Xuan grabbed Erina’s hand, and their fingers were intertwined. Li Xuan responded, “Erina, I’m greedy. You will be mine from now on.”

A gentle atmosphere surrounded the two people in this private room. If it weren’t for Li Xuan’s restrictions, Erina would have to be injured before she could leave today, just like Asuna, and would have to start high school this year.

After a while of tenderness, Erina woke up and remembered another reason why she came here. She adjusted her body and leaned sideways in Li Xuan’s arms. Then she told Li Xuan about her sense of taste and the information she learned from her grandfather, as well as the change in her sense of taste after meeting him today.

After hearing what Erina said, Li Xuan directly said that he would try it on the spot to see what the problem with Erina’s taste was.

In fact, Li Xuan himself didn’t know whether he could cure Erina’s taste problem. The main reason was that Erina’s taste was a talent, and if it couldn’t be fully developed it could be said to be a disease. But after it was fully developed, it was obviously the key to allowing people to transcend the mundane world.

Li Xuan was worried that his Origin Dao Sutra would be able to directly eliminate the taste problem, but Li Xuan did not tell Erina because Erina said that the taste problem had improved today when she was with him. If the Origin Dao Sutra could not cure it, he would just take Erina back to the villa and let her be his cook.
