“Hahaha—!”
Hearty, unrestrained laughter echoed through the snowy mountains.
As if she had become a skiing enthusiast, Jashin-chan controlled the skis under her tail, performing various fancy maneuvers.
At times, she would leap high, completing astonishing spins and flips in the air; at other times, she would dive rapidly, leaving graceful arcs in the snow.
The splashing snow mist was like a dreamy, light veil.
“Rumble—!”
As she was playing excitedly, a dull sound suddenly came from behind her.
Jashin-chan turned her head and saw the accumulated snow on the mountaintop, like a wild horse unbridled, thundering down with an overwhelming force.
Large waves of snow rolled forward, mercilessly engulfing everything in their path.
Snow mist filled the air, obscuring the sky and sun, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The immense impact uprooted trees, cracked rocks, and deafening sounds reverberated through the valleys.
Jashin-chan was not flustered; she merely put away her playful thoughts and began to charge down towards the foot of the mountain with all her might.
She charged ahead, with the snow wave chasing behind, which made her feel a peculiar sense of excitement!
“Great! The finish line is in sight!”
She could already see the villa with smoke rising from its chimney not far from the foot of the mountain.
Jashin-chan, stunned, accelerated her speed and rushed back to the villa like lightning.
She took off her equipment and felt the warm environment inside the villa, letting out a sigh of relief.
Stopping for a moment, she suddenly felt a bit hungry, so she wiggled her snake tail to the dining room and shouted to the chef in the open kitchen:
“Hey, is there anything to eat?”
“There’s congee, would you like some? I just cooked a pot of colorful assorted beef congee.”
Although he said so, Mr. Chef had already handed her a bowl of congee radiating a faint glow and a rich aroma.
Jashin-chan didn't really want to drink congee at this moment, but after looking at the congee's appearance and smelling the rich and enticing aroma in the air, she unconsciously took the bowl.
She blew on it, cautiously took a sip, and the taste surprisingly delighted her!
“It’s so delicious!”
She devoured it heartily.
After a bowl of hot congee, her body felt as if something had been injected into it; her hunger was relieved, and even the slight fatigue from skiing was swept away.
Jashin-chan was fully revived!
“…”
“Another bowl!”
Updates are not easy, remember to share 101kanshu.com.
Real World—
Mysteriously fully revived and radiant, Jashin-chan stood up and handed an empty bowl to Lu Ping'an, who had just refilled a bowl of congee and was about to go to the living room to eat it.
Lu Ping'an was startled for a moment, subconsciously scrutinizing her, somewhat doubting whether the congee he made was some kind of healing elixir, otherwise how could she be fully revived after just one bowl?
“You’re spoiled; get it yourself,” Lu Ping'an said before leaving the kitchen with his congee.
“Tch! If I have to get it myself, I will!”
Jashin-chan pouted, wiggled her snake tail forward, and ladled a bowl of congee for herself with a spoon.
Meanwhile, in the living room—
Lu Ping'an looked at Yurihana Hyakuryo, who was enjoying her congee, eating it in small sips, and couldn't help but smile, asking gently:
“How is it, Baihe Ling? Is it to your taste?”
“Does that even need to be said? It would be great if I could have it often in the future.”
Yurihana Hyakuryo gave a thumbs-up and said with emotion.
“As long as you say the word, I’ll make it for you whenever I’m free,” Lu Ping'an sat down beside her.
“For a lifetime?”
Jashin-chan suddenly poked her head out from the kitchen; she seemed to smell the sour stench of love.
These two lovebirds!
“…” Lu Ping'an’s hand, holding the spoon, paused; that’s not what he meant!
However, a lifetime wasn’t out of the question…
Yurihana Hyakuryo’s expression was subtle; she knew Lu Ping'an didn’t mean that just now.
It was all that stupid snake’s fault for talking nonsense! Making them both awkward…
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but glare at Jashin-chan.
“Eek!”
Jashin-chan, having been glared at, guiltily shrank back into the kitchen, intending to eat her meal in the kitchen and not come out.
Lu Ping'an stared at the congee, stirred it with his spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and said with a smile:
“A lifetime is fine, as long as I’m free.”
“Ah, um.” Yurihana Hyakuryo nodded, instinctively wondering if this was a confession?
Lu Ping'an ignored Yurihana Hyakuryo’s reaction and put the not-so-hot congee into his mouth.
As the congee entered his mouth—
An extreme deliciousness rippled through his mouth like waves.
The warm congee liquid gently glided over his tongue, like nimble spirits, instantly awakening every cell in his body from slumber.
The fresh flavors and textures of various ingredients bloomed in his mouth like brilliant fireworks, dazzling and captivating; every hint of flavor tantalized Lu Ping'an’s taste buds, immersing him in this wonderful feast of taste, unable to extricate himself!
“It’s so delicious!”
An unparalleled sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart!
Lu Ping'an couldn’t help but show an expression of enjoyment, and his mood also became peaceful.
Yurihana Hyakuryo, drinking the delicious congee, suddenly felt that a lifetime wasn’t so bad after all.
They say that to capture someone’s heart, you must first capture their stomach—
Although it was only two meals, Yurihana Hyakuryo’s stomach had probably been firmly captured by Lu Ping'an.
With this thought, the girl’s heart was no longer conflicted.
She decided to let nature take its course…
…
Golden sunlight generously bathed the city of Tokyo; today was not a holiday, and the streets presented a busy scene.
Pedestrians hurried along, their expressions revealing urgency, moving swiftly as if racing against time.
Vehicles flowed ceaselessly, horns blaring one after another, like the city’s hurried breathing.
The sunlight reflected off the car bodies, glittering with dazzling light, yet it could not slow down this hurried pace in the slightest.
Lu Ping'an, having had the fortune to experience the rush hour on a Japanese train, began to miss his Xiaomi SU7, which he had only recently bought.
Speaking of which, he had transmigrated, and he wondered who would benefit from his house, car, and savings.
‘Tsk!’
Lu Ping'an shook his head, no longer dwelling on it.
Yurihana Hyakuryo, beside him, suddenly said to Jashin-chan: “Jashin-chan, you stay here for now.”
Here, was a street in Bunkyo Ward.
“Huh, why?” Jashin-chan stopped, tilting her head in confusion as she asked.
“Because if you come along, you’ll lower my reputation,” Yurihana Hyakuryo replied faintly.
“No, what do you mean?”
Jashin-chan’s face darkened, and she instantly became angry:
“What do you mean I’ll lower your reputation? I’d like to say that walking with you guys will lower my reputation as a demon!”
‘Damn Baihe Ling, who is she looking down on!’
“If my relatives see me walking with someone like you who doesn’t wear clothes, they’ll question my character, and they might even tell my family.”
Yurihana Hyakuryo pointed at Jashin-chan’s upper body.
“Wouldn’t they first question why her lower body is a snake tail?”
Lu Ping'an couldn’t help but interject.
Yurihana Hyakuryo looked at him and said: “I asked others before, and they seem to be predisposed to think she’s cosplaying a snake woman.”
“Cosplay?”
Lu Ping'an grimaced, feeling that those people’s eyesight was somewhat problematic; her walking posture was clearly different, alright! What kind of eyesight!
He felt a bit numb!
“Ah… really! What’s wrong with not wearing clothes! I’ve lived for so many years and never worn clothes, and there are many demons in the demon world who don’t wear clothes! This is very normal, alright!”
Jashin-chan clenched her fists, expressing her dissatisfaction.
“This isn’t the demon world; it’s the human world… Since we’re in the human world, we naturally have to abide by the rules of the human world.”
Yurihana Hyakuryo looked at her unhurriedly.
Lu Ping'an agreed with this point, so he chimed in: “Jashin-chan, just stay here for now.”
“Tsk! You two…”
“Are you two humans ganging up to bully me, a demon, huh?”
“Who’s bullying you?”
Lu Ping'an was speechless for a moment, and Yurihana Hyakuryo also rolled her eyes at her.
Afterward, the two successfully ‘persuaded’ Jashin-chan to stay put…
