Chapter 47: Chapter 45: The Dangerous Existence Imprisoned in the Lake
He looked at Kajimi’s beautiful face and graceful figure.
Right now, she was lying right next to Fang Xiu.
"Kajimi, what are you doing? We’re on the grass!"
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected this.
He had just been lying on the ground to rest for a bit, and Kajimi had come over just like that.
"If Master doesn’t like it outdoors, we can go back inside!"
Kajimi’s voice was now filled with Charm.
Fang Xiu couldn’t help but swallow.
But he quickly recovered. "Kajimi, you can’t do this!"
But Kajimi didn’t stop. She even upped the ante, draping a leg over Fang Xiu and whispering, "Master, not only is Kajimi’s Soul yours, but my body is as well. As long as Master is willing..."
"I’m ordering you now, go back inside and go to sleep!"
Kajimi hadn’t even finished her sentence before Fang Xiu cut her off.
Although Kajimi was incredibly beautiful with a first-class figure, Fang Xiu still wasn’t that interested in his Summoned Creatures.
He couldn’t get past that mental block.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t care whether they were outdoors or not.
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing the hint of displeasure in Fang Xiu’s voice, Kajimi knew she had gone too far, even though she only wanted to make him happy.
After all, when she was flying in mid-air, Kajimi could feel where Fang Xiu’s gaze was fixed.
She could even feel her master’s heartbeat quicken.
Kajimi had thought that Fang Xiu had ideas, and as one of his Summoned Creatures, she naturally had to satisfy her master’s every desire.
This was absolute loyalty.
PHEW!
Watching Kajimi get up and walk out of the Gate World, Fang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
’A Summoned Creature like this... who could possibly resist?’
’At least she’s obedient.’
Finally, he could lie back comfortably and enjoy the night sky.
"ACHOO!"
Fang Xiu let out a sneeze.
He looked around. The ground was now covered in a blanket of white snow.
’Forget it, I’m going back inside too. This Gate World is in the middle of a winter night. It’s freezing to death!’
Fang Xiu got up with a sense of resignation.
He returned directly to the real world.
Instantly, he felt much warmer.
After all, it was currently the college entrance exam period, and the weather was sweltering.
"ACHOO!"
He sneezed again.
’I’d better take a hot shower!’
Fang Xiu hurried toward the bathroom.
He pushed open the door!
"Ah! Master!"
A soft shriek quickly turned into a natural-sounding call.
"Ka... Kajimi?"
Fang Xiu froze.
Kajimi was just about to apply body wash.
Standing at the doorway, Fang Xiu saw... everything in a single glance.
"Does Master want to bathe too? Come in, Kajimi will scrub your back for you!"
Kajimi’s voice was very gentle.
Fang Xiu shook his head, keeping his eyes fixed on Kajimi’s face. He said calmly, "No, I just came to get a towel to dry off. I was just lying in the snow."
"Oh!"
There was a trace of disappointment in Kajimi’s voice.
She then picked up Fang Xiu’s towel, held it with both hands, and walked up to him. "Master, let Kajimi dry you!"
"No need, just give it to me!"
Fang Xiu said, taking the towel directly from her.
He turned, went back to his room, and shut the door.
PHEW!
He let out a long breath.
’This is not good. I’m a red-blooded young man. With a Succubus like this in the house, who could possibly resist!’
At this moment, Fang Xiu was impressed by his own self-control.
’I still haven’t made a mistake.’
’But Kajimi didn’t seem to be like this before. Could it be because of...’
Fang Xiu took out the small box gifted by the Goddess of Beauty after the recent Sacrifice.
Now, he finally understood what the "unexpected effect" written on the box really meant.
’The increase in Charm Value... is it this terrifying?’
Fang Xiu had never imagined it.
It was only a 1% increase in Charm Value.
And it already had this effect on Kajimi. Of course, it was partly because of their contract and the fact that she was a Succubus.
But even so, wasn’t this effect a little too good?
’If my Charm Value increases to 100%, will Kajimi just force herself on me?’
Fang Xiu felt a little terrified inside.
His own strength was definitely not enough to overpower Kajimi.
’Wouldn’t that just be letting her have her way with me?’
’No, wait. She’s absolutely obedient to me. If she tries anything head-on, I can just order her to stop. I’m just afraid she might sneak in during the middle of the night...’
Fang Xiu suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This Charm Value Snowflake Cream was truly a good item.
Fang Xiu would definitely be reluctant not to use it.
But after using it, situations like this with Kajimi would happen.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, followed immediately by Kajimi’s voice. "Master, Kajimi is coming in to serve you!"
"Ser— No need!"
How could Fang Xiu possibly open the door?
Although Kajimi was undeniably attractive, with curves in all the right places, Fang Xiu still felt he couldn’t do it!
It was a matter of principle.
"Kajimi, I order you! From now on, you are not to enter my room without my permission!"
The idea had suddenly flashed through his mind. Kajimi was one hundred percent loyal, which was why he had given her that direct command.
"Yes, Master!"
Kajimi responded.
However, Fang Xiu could hear a hint of reluctance in her voice.
But it seemed that because of their contract, Kajimi had no way to resist and could only be absolutely loyal.
"Phew!"
’It felt a bit forceful, but at least I can sleep peacefully at night now.’
Lying in bed, Fang Xiu thought he heard the sound of footsteps outside his door.
’What the hell?’
Fang Xiu suspected he had misheard.
Listening carefully, it sounded like someone was pacing.
He got out of bed and opened the door.
He saw Kajimi standing at his doorway, dressed in pajamas.
’Whoa, where did she get those pajamas?’
Fang Xiu was dumbfounded. What on earth had Kajimi been up to during the few hours he had been busy with his Cultivation?
"Master!"
Seeing Fang Xiu open the door, Kajimi quickly called out.
"What are you doing out here?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"Protecting Master’s safety is Kajimi’s mission!"
Kajimi said earnestly.
"I’ve lived here for years without anything happening. Go get some rest!" Fang Xiu said helplessly.
He had lived here for five years since transmigrating, and there had never been any danger at all.
"Maybe not before, but that might not be true now!"
Kajimi said.
Hearing this, Fang Xiu froze. ’What does she mean?’
But it only took a moment for him to realize. "Are you talking about... the Gate World?"
This Gate World had only appeared two days ago.
Although Fang Xiu had explored it, he wasn’t sure if it was dangerous or not.
After all, he had found the dung of a Sumeru Heavy Crystal Bull inside.
"Mhm, there’s something dangerous imprisoned in the lake inside. Kajimi doesn’t know what it is, but it’s definitely there."
Kajimi said very seriously.
"The lake?"
Fang Xiu’s brow furrowed slightly.
Just now, in the lake, he had used Netherworld Thunder Fall and had indeed struck something.
’Could that have been a Demon Beast?’
"Yes, there’s something in the depths of the lake. Kajimi can sense it."
Kajimi nodded.
"How dangerous is it?"
Fang Xiu asked. If it was truly very dangerous, he was prepared to report it.
Even though it might mean he could no longer stay in this Gate World, this villa, or even this city.
It was still better than losing his own life.
Fang Xiu didn’t consider himself a hero, nor did he want to be one. If something came up, he would just report it.
Let someone else solve it. He had no intention of trying to be a hero.
"Hmm... for now, there shouldn’t be any danger. That thing is trapped, and it’s hibernating."
Kajimi said after thinking for a moment.
"Is that so? That’s good... wait a minute!"
Fang Xiu suddenly realized. "If there’s no danger, what are you doing out here?"
"Pro... protecting Master!"
Kajimi was a little flustered.
She realized Fang Xiu had cornered her.
"Go on, go back to your room and rest. There are so many rooms, pick any one you want except mine!"
Fang Xiu said helplessly.
"Yes, Master!"
Kajimi pouted, lowered her head, and walked toward the room next to Fang Xiu’s.
"Oh, right, Kajimi!"
Fang Xiu suddenly called out.
"Do you want me to guard you in your room, Master?"
Kajimi instantly perked up.
"Remember to prepare breakfast tomorrow. I still have to go to school."
After saying this, Fang Xiu turned around and went straight into his room.
Watching Fang Xiu’s door close, Kajimi stared at it for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
Then she called out, "Yes, Master!"
Inside the room.
Fang Xiu lay in bed, thinking about what Kajimi had said.
’Is there really a Demon Beast in that lake? What kind of Demon Beast is it?’
Fang Xiu was a little worried, but not much.
Since she said the Demon Beast was trapped, at least it couldn’t get out for now.
"System, do you know what kind of Demon Beast is in the lake?"
Fang Xiu asked the system tentatively.
System: ...
Unfortunately, Tongzi didn’t react at all.
’Looks like this isn’t under the System’s jurisdiction.’
As he kept thinking, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Fang Xiu drifted off to sleep.
...
「The next day」
Fang Xiu was woken up by the fragrant smell of breakfast.
When he groggily made his way to the dining table, Kajimi had already prepared a full, nutritious breakfast.
"Master’s awake! Come and try the breakfast I made. I don’t know if it suits your taste."
Seeing Fang Xiu come out, Kajimi immediately ran over.
"Mmm!"
Fang Xiu took a bite. "This is delicious!"
He hadn’t expected Kajimi to be an expert cook.
However, it was all a Western-style breakfast. It couldn’t be helped; she was a Succubus. ’Looks like I’ll have to have her learn to cook Chinese-style food in the future.’
That would be more to Fang Xiu’s taste.
"What are Master’s plans for today?"
Kajimi asked as she served more food into Fang Xiu’s bowl.
"First, we’ll go to the school and find the principal. The school’s training Gate World is clearly not suitable for you, so we’ll switch to a different place. And I’ll pick up the reward he promised me while I’m at it!"
Fang Xiu knew that the strongest Demon Beasts in the school’s Gate World were only Tier Two.
Under Kajimi’s Skill, they would be killed instantly.
Fang Xiu wanted to change locations. The items dropped by Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts didn’t sell for much.
Moreover, the school’s Gate World had already been almost completely explored.
There weren’t any particularly rare items, and Fang Xiu still needed to find items for Sacrifice.
All things considered, his only option was to find other Gate Worlds!
