Lost the 50/50

Her martial prowess was merely a necessary part of her sister's efforts to accomplish certain tasks.

Don't you think Liu Bai is unsuitable for the battlefield?

Raiden Ei continued to nod.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, and her sister is not suited to go to the battlefield either—although sometimes she would still personally go to the battlefield, holding that unsharpened sword Musou Isshin.

Hmm... if you look at it this way...

"Alright, Ying, go wipe Lord Liu Bai's sweat. Lying down like this at this time will easily make him catch a cold."

Kitsune Saiguu interrupted Shadow's thoughts.

The current relationship between the two sides is not enough to support Ying's spontaneous protective instincts. Planting a seed in Ying is enough; if it grows into a tree now, it will be a crooked tree.

Sigh, it's easier to fool Ying than Zhen.

While sighing, Kitsune Saiguu took out the hot towel he had prepared beforehand.

"Go ahead, to get closer to Liu Bai."

"Understood."

Ying did not refuse.

It is only natural that Liu Bai, as the victor, would receive some preferential treatment.

However, when Kage walked up to Chiyo, he glanced at Chiyo, and then the demon seemed to have noticed something and looked back at Kage somewhat awkwardly.

Kage noticed that Chiyo was a bit too excited, so even though the fight was over, she was still standing there with her wooden stick and sword, only saying a few words to Liu Bai, appearing somewhat "indifferent".

In reality, she was just reminiscing.

"Chiyo, how about we have a little sparring session later?"

Ying looked at his old friend and smiled slightly.

"Ah... never mind." However, to everyone's surprise, Chiyo refused outright.

"Huh? Why?"

"I don't want to be your punching bag, and besides, I can't win anyway," Miyuki Chiyo pouted.

She could tell at a glance that Ying was quite tense.

Ying... although she can be serious, she is actually quite "soft" with acquaintances when not discussing serious matters.

She can be both affectionate and willful.

But now all that's left in Shadow is seriousness and blank stare... He's clearly too serious.

In general, this situation requires feeding the child sweets...

Hmm... Does Kitsune Saiguu want her to get along well with Liu Bai?

"Never mind me, Ling, go wipe Liu Bai's fins. If you stop worrying about me, the heat on the towel will be gone. A hot towel is nice, but a cold one is terrible—you know what I mean."

"Oh..."

Raiden Ei walked over to Liu Bai, carrying a towel.

"Lord Liu Bai..."

"Shadow! Now put the towel on your chest, then use your—"

"Don't make it so obvious, okay?!"

Miyuki Chiyo directly restrained the shouting Kitsune Saiguu.

Chapter 131 The Minimum Guarantee Went Wrong

"..."

"... Lord Liu Bai, what are you looking at?" Ying's face showed a slight embarrassment.

"Nothing."

Liu Bai shifted his gaze away from Ying's chest.

It's all Kitsune Saiguu's fault! Why did he say such tempting things?

"Kitsune Saiguu is spouting nonsense again."

"Yeah yeah."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded in agreement; Kitsune Saiguu's interruption was just too "middle-aged."

"Please don't mind..." Sara gently rubbed Liu Bai's shoulder.

Although she doesn't act like a young girl, she's actually not that much older than Kamisato Ayaka.

She was quite uncomfortable with Kitsune Saiguu saying such vulgar things to her face.

"Lord Kitsune Saiguu always uses such vulgar language, you'll get used to it."

No, it's impossible not to care.

However, Kujou Sara then stepped aside to let Raiden Ei come over and wipe Liu Bai's sweat.

... Well, this kind of "harem experience" is already pretty good.

"Help me up, let's go to the workroom on the third floor."

"Yes."

Kujou Sara and Kamisato Ayaka gently helped Liu Bai up from both sides.

"Can't we just carry them up?" Ying asked, looking at the two who were being so careful.

Liu Bai isn't heavy, so you two can definitely carry her. Besides, she's not like your older sister who's afraid to make any big movements. It's just a little bruise, and walking up to her will definitely hurt more than carrying her.

"... No, Lord Shadow, things are not that simple."

Kujou Sara shook her head.

Some personal feelings must be taken into consideration. For example, some men dislike being hugged by women because of their pride.

"Sara, hold me, let's fly straight in through the third-floor window."

However, I'm sorry to say, Liu Bai's skin is rather Schrödinger's...

"..."

Kujou Sara had been silent for a moment, nodded silently, picked up Princess Liu Bai in one go, and then took off.

"Um..."

"What's wrong, Lord Liu Bai?"

The third floor wasn't high; in the time it took to say a word, Kujou Sara had already arrived and landed on the balcony.

"The feeling of flying doesn't seem to be that... special?"

"I think so too."

"..."

Well, the conversation's dead.

Liu Bai shook his head and walked into the workshop to the Gacha Machine.

"Liu Bai?"

"Firefly?"

Liu Bai looked at Firefly was suddenly standing at the door, with some confusion.

"What's up?"

"Um... come and take a look?" Firefly tilted her head a little guiltily. "I'm also very curious about this gashapon."

Her intuition told her that Liu Bai was coming up to use the Gacha Machine, and now that she looked... she was right.

"I see."

Liu Bai nodded in understanding, after all, there had been powerful figures like Acheron before.

It's understandable that Firefly is curious—if everyone else knew that Acheron was a "gacha reward," there would probably be a huge crowd gathered here wanting to see the gacha pulls.

Humans are such strange creatures; they either gamble themselves or watch others gamble—both are sources of enjoyment.

Then, Liu Bai inserted the ten gashapon coins that had appeared out of nowhere into the Gacha Machine.

The first attempt failed.

The second attempt failed.

"Ah... Sara, would you like to try your luck?"

"Me... me?" Sara hesitated for a moment. "If you wish..."

Liu Bai handed Kujou Sara a stack of gashapon coins and then taught Sara how to insert the coins and use the gashapon machine.

The third attempt failed.

"...Feel sorry."

Although Kujou Sara didn't know what the item that rolled out was, seeing that it was no different from the previous two items, she knew in her heart that she had not achieved Liu Bai's goal.

"Can I try my luck?" Firefly seemed to have become interested in gacha pulls.

Liu Bai naturally supported this.

Ten gashapon capsules rolled out, and after opening them one by one...

[Partner Doll: Xueyi]

Oh... finally a four-star character has been released.

"Eh? Is this what you need, Liu Bai?" Firefly asked, while secretly kicking a silver-white pocket watch on the ground into a corner.

"Hmm." Bai nodded as she pulled off a loose thread from the Xueyi doll.

With a bang, the doll instantly transformed into a living person.

"Judge of the Ten-Lords Commission, Xueyi. I have come by the edict of the Ten Kings to lend you a hand and serve you."

The girl with black hair and red eyes bowed to Liu Bai in a voice devoid of emotion.

Liu Bai put on his glasses and glanced at the judge's attributes.

[Xueyi: Constitution 7, Strength 5, Agility 7]

"A judge of the Ten-Lords Commission?" Firefly was a little stunned when she heard Xueyi's self-introduction—after all, she knew a little about the Ten-Lords Commission. "Um, are you from the same hometown as Little Gui?"

Kujou Sara nearby, was also shocked... What was this? A sudden, unexpected transformation?

"..." Xueyi quietly looked at the people in front of her, and only the occasional movement of her eyes showed that she had already looked around.

"Liu Bai? You also have connections with the Ten-Lords Commission of the Xianzhou?"

"... I guess so, but I'm very curious why the Ten-Lords Commission would issue such an edict."

Liu Bai chuckled, not denying it, and then asked Xueyi.

"The intentions of the Ten Kings are beyond the comprehension of a mere judge like myself."

"Then... resurrection?" Bai Jin asked.

If Xueyi still has to abide by the rule that she can only be resurrected for half a day after the criminals are apprehended... then this person really is a "figurine".

"The Ten Kings' decree states that during the period of assistance, there is no need for slumber."

Xueyi bowed to Liu Bai.

This seems alright...

"Well... then I don't need to introduce myself. There are quite a few other people in my family, I'll introduce them to you later."

Xueyi nodded silently.

Liu Bai continued drawing cards.

How many times has this happened... and it still hasn't come out?

Another ten-pull, Gacha Machine rolled out ten small balls.
