Arriving at the entrance of a mansion, Minamoto no Raikō pointed to the large house in front of him and said...

"This..."

Yuxian blinked. Compared to the residences of Shuten and the others, or even Okita Souji, Minamoto no Raikō's place could be called a mansion.

Standing at the entrance, you can't see the outline of the entire house at all; it occupies a very large area.

The door creaked open, and surprisingly, a servant came out to greet them.

"You're back."

The servant who opened the door bowed very respectfully to Minamoto no Raikō, and then led everyone into the house.

The area inside is very large; three entries and three exits is an understatement.

It has a large garden, a training ground, houses for servants to rest, and separate houses for various functions such as the kitchen and dining room.

There's a saying, "Comparing people will only lead to ruin, and comparing goods will only lead to discarding them."

Compared to Minamoto no Raikō's residence, Mount Oe, where Shuten and Ibuki stayed, was simply appalling.

"Hmph! It's obviously rotten to the core, probably obtained it through trickery and plunder."

Shuten muttered with great dissatisfaction, his tone revealing a hint of sourness. Looking at Minamoto no Raikō's new residence, he felt quite resentful.

"Oh dear, this place is barely habitable. Any bigger and I wouldn't be able to fit in. This size is just right."

Minamoto no Raikō smiled modestly, but it sounded like he was showing off.

However, compared to her background, such a house is nothing special. After all, she was a member of the Genji clan and had many subordinates, so her requirements for living environment were different.

"Where did you get so much money!"

Shuten began to question, she didn't believe that Minamoto no Raikō could afford such a large house so easily, and she was determined to find out her flaws.

"Just kill a few ghosts and you'll have enough, right? Not every ghost is as poor as you."

This was a devastating blow to Shuten's heart. She had no intention of doing such things; she spent all her time drinking in her room and had no interest in such unnecessary activities.

Compared to Minamoto no Raikō, she didn't care about these things at all. Even the original Mount Oe Oni were led by Ibuki. She didn't have the leisure to care about these things.

Led by a servant, Yuxian arrived at the room, which was very spacious and even looked somewhat empty.

Children can even run around and play inside.

"Master, please take a bath. I've asked the servants to boil some water."

Minamoto no Raikō stood at the door and spoke to Yuxian.

"Is there a private bathroom?"

Yuxian stood up. He was looking forward to taking a nice bath, as he had been traveling for a long time and hadn't had such an opportunity in a long time.

Although industry had developed to some extent during the Meiji era, it was still inferior to the high-tech modern world. None of the hotels had dedicated bathing facilities, and Yuxian while.

"We want to take a bath too!"

The children's eyes lit up when they heard there was a bathroom and they were eager to take a bath.

"Then you guys go ahead."

Yuxian let the children take a bath first, and he could wait a while. There was no rush, so he let the children take a bath first.

"Master, you are not allowed to peek!"

"Okay, okay, I won't peek."

Yuxian shook his head helplessly; a group of precocious little devils.

The children skipped and hopped off to take a bath, Yuxian slowly began to stroll around the large house, feeling very relaxed.

Not long has passed since I arrived in this world, and I've already met so many people. With Kiyohime and Tamamo no Mae me, this mission seems to have been completed quite well, better than any of the previous ones.

"Master, it's your turn!"

The children's shouts came from afar; they had finished washing and were calling for Yuxian to come and take a bath.

Yuxian, I put aside these thoughts and prepared to take a nice bath and relax.

The steaming water filled the air, and leaning against the wooden railing by the bathtub, I felt lazy and very comfortable.

After being soaked in hot water, all the fatigue seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye.

He even felt a little sleepy, and his eyes began to drowsily doze off.

"Master, are you inside? Let me scrub your back."

The voice of Minamoto no Raikō came from outside, immediately waking Yuxian and instantly dispelling his sleepiness.

Please don't!

Yuxian's face showed panic, and he immediately stopped Minamoto no Raikō from opening the door and coming in.

If Minamoto no Raikō were to come in, he would be in deep trouble, no matter what. There are not only the two of them here, but also many eyes watching.

If it were just the two of them, he might still hesitate.

But now there's Mash, Okita Souji, Shuten, and children in this house.

If they find out, he's definitely not going to have a good day today, no doubt about it.

It's entirely possible that this could trigger another major war.

For his own safety, Yuxian resolutely refused Minamoto no Raikō.

My inner voice screams: If you're going to do something like this, at least do it when nobody's around! Hey!

"Does Master dislike me? I'm so sad..."

Minamoto no Raikō was heartbroken by Yuxian's rejection. He looked pitiful and on the verge of tears, and his sobbing voice reached Yuxian's ears, making him feel helpless.

However, someone quickly came to his rescue, since not everyone could tolerate such a situation; everyone was watching.

"Lai Guangqing, don't harass the senior! This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!"

Mash blushed and grabbed Minamoto no Raikō, pulling her away from the bathroom door.

She felt ashamed of Minamoto no Raikō's bold behavior and kept complaining in her heart, thinking how shameful it was that such a thing could be done so openly.

"Oh... is that not allowed?"

Minamoto no Raikō was still somewhat unwilling, but Mash forcefully grabbed him and slowly dragged him away from the place.

Not far away, Okita Souji saw this scene, her face flushed slightly, and she spat lightly.

"I never expected Minamoto no Raikō to be so bold. I really underestimated her."

However, Shuten, who also witnessed all of this, reacted very differently. Her eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face; it was very dangerous.

"Call!--"

Yuxian let out a long sigh of relief. After being disturbed by Minamoto no Raikō no Yorimitsu, he lost interest in continuing to soak and quickly finished washing up and came out.

He suddenly had a premonition that similar things might happen again in the days to come.

I'm both looking forward to it and having a headache.

Dinner was also very plentiful, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Everything here looks very nice.

Chapter 29, Section 342: Princess and the Seven Dwarfs

After dinner, it was still early, Yuxian I took a leisurely stroll to digest my food.

At that moment, Shuten waved to him from a distance.

"Master, come here, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Yuxian looked at Shuten suspiciously, blinking, wondering what Shuten wanted to say.

"Come with me, let's sit down and talk it over."

Shuten slowly turned around and led Yuxian to her room.

Although Yuxian had some doubts, he did not refuse outright. After all, it would be very impolite to refuse without asking the situation. They were all Chaldea people, and he was very patient about this.

Anyway, listening to it isn't difficult.

The two walked to the table, sat facing each other, and waited Yuxian for Shuten to speak.

When does Master plan to return to Chaldea this time?

As he spoke, Shuten took out two sake cups and poured some sake into each.

"I've missed you all so much since I left. How is everyone doing?"

Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a while. There should still be quite a few companions in this world. I want to find them all before going back."

He saw Shuten push one of the sake cups in front of him, and he gently pushed it forward, indicating that he could not drink.

"Shuten, do you want to go back now? Actually, it's not impossible. I can contact Da Vinci-chan to let you go back first."

Shuten shook his head. "It's not in a hurry. Since Master wants to stay here for a while, Shuten will naturally accompany Master."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine cup in front of Yuxian and poured the wine into her own cup, leaving only a trail of residue at the bottom.

Then Shuten pushed the wine cup in front of Yuxian again, and slowly picked up the cup to take a sip.

Yuxian didn't want to refuse Shuten's request, so he picked it up and took a small sip.

He hissed, clearly not used to the spiciness of the liquor.

"Don't worry, this time it won't be long. I... I... I'm confident..."

Yuxian noticed that there were suddenly more Shuten in front of him; it seemed like there were several Shuten in front of him, constantly swaying.

Thump!

He collapsed onto the table, unconscious.

"Master... Master..."

Shuten gently nudged Yuxian with his hand and called out to him in his ear.

Yuxian did not respond; he was completely drunk.

Seeing this, Yuxian's Shuten alcohol tolerance very well. Don't underestimate this small sip. A person who can't drink will definitely get drunk and pass out. Even a person who can drink might not be able to hold on.

This isn't alcohol; it's a supercharged version of sleeping pills.

Shuten stood up and slowly walked to Yuxian's side, his smile widening.

She orchestrated for Yuxian to enter her room, then knocked Yuxian down, and now she's not in a hurry at all.

"Oh my, I really want to devour my Master, I can't resist anymore."

Shuten chuckled as he looked at the drunken Yuxian, his mouth practically watering.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and Mash walked in with a blank expression.

She looked at Shuten with a serious expression, then at the drunken Yuxian, and waved her hand dismissively.

"Take away!"

Whoosh!

A large group of children rushed in from outside, each one of them lifting Yuxian up on either side, carrying him away like Yuxian carrying rice.

Mash glanced at Shuten one last time, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Shuten- Shuten was left completely bewildered.

Clang!
