Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Jealousy.
74
After washing up, Li Xiaoqi met Busei-kun on the way to dinner.
He still had the same bad temper as always. When he met Bingbing, he was cold and didn't say hello.
"Good morning."
Li Xiaoqi greeted with a smile.
She did not feel embarrassed or afraid, but instead stepped forward and spoke proactively.
Thinking of his experience, Li Xiaoqi could not remain cold towards this big boy.
Thanks to her experiences in the previous world, she has become more or less successful in society.
Fuzukawa Shima stopped and stared at her strangely.
This was not the first time Li Xiaoqi had seen this look.
During these three days, we met every time in this corridor on the way to dinner, and she would say hello every time.
Every time, Fuzukawa Miya would give her this look and pass by without saying a word.
But this time it stopped.
"Are you free?"
Busei Kagawa said in a deep voice.
Although this sentence seemed provocative, Li Xiaoqi did not see any unpleasant expression on his face.
"Well, compared to you guys, I do have quite a bit of free time."
After saying this, Li Xiaoqi felt a little regretful, as if he was choking him.
Fuzukawa Shigeya was speechless and raised his hand to scratch his head.
He hesitated to speak and stood in the middle of the corridor, blocking the way.
Li Xiaoqi intuitively felt that Busei seemed to have something to say.
"I'm going on a mission."
Fuzukawa Minami said dryly.
Li Xiaoqi blinked, not understanding what this had to do with her.
"Then I wish you good luck in your military career and a safe journey."
If I remember correctly, this is what the Demon Slayer Corps said before they set out.
Fuzukawa Minami calmed down and looked towards the courtyard. "Thank you...but..."
"That's not what I meant."
In the courtyard, wisteria flowers swayed in the wind, and petals fluttered down.
The cherry blossom trees planted in the side yard can be vaguely seen over the low wall of the courtyard. The pink petals are mixed with many purple petals, adding a bit of fantasy and romance.
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and tilted his head in confusion.
The sound of wind chimes came from somewhere, and Busei-kun retracted his gaze and met Li Xiaoqi's.
"My lord, I believe what you say. Even though it sounds like a story from a storybook to me, you are not ghosts. You know strange magic, and resurrection from the dead in purgatory is also true..."
Rarely, Fushigawa Shigeya spoke at great length.
Li Xiaoqi stood quietly in front of him, responding softly from time to time to show that he was listening carefully.
She put on the kimono bathrobe hanging on the hanger in the room. The sunlight fell on the cherry-colored kimono bathrobe. Her black hair was tied up with a hairpin, and she looked very well-behaved.
When Fuzukawa Minoru saw her like this, he recalled his younger brothers and sisters, who were also well-behaved and obedient like this.
His eyes became much gentler, with a hint of smile in them.
"My younger brother, Fuzugawa Genya, is also in the Demon Slayer Corps. He's from the same class as the Kamado siblings."
"He's my only brother. If I run into him one day and he's seriously injured..."
Fuzukawa Shima took a deep breath, as if to give himself strength through the act of inhaling, "Or die, I hope you can save him."
Li Xiaoqi slowly opened his eyes and looked into the sincere eyes of Busei Kagawa.
At this moment, for the sake of his brother, he took off his disguise of being covered in thorns and softened the thorns.
"good."
She agreed with a smile, almost without hesitation.
Busei was stunned, and Li Xiaoqi's smile was reflected in his eyes.
A lavender petal gently fell on her hair.
He stared at the petal and opened his lips slightly, "The petal fell on the top of my head."
Li Xiaoqi quickly brushed her hair and removed the petals.
"Thanks."
Busei nodded politely and passed by Li Xiaoqi, just like the previous two days.
For some unknown reason, Li Xiaoqi turned around and saw the scar faintly visible between Busei's sleeves, and an idea popped into his mind.
"Mr. Fuzukawa, what time do we leave?"
"About noon."
"good."
In the corridor, the sound of dull conversation could be heard.
Li Xiaoqi bowed slightly and watched Fushigawa Shima walk away.
"The dynamic CG has been generated - The Promise Under the Petals. It has been stored in the CG collection library and will be sold after the live broadcast room is opened."
???
The system has not been live-broadcasting for the past few days, so she was finally able to relax her mind, but she didn't expect this to happen suddenly.
No, system, are you spying on me anytime and anywhere?
"This behavior isn't voyeurism; it's the system's automatic CG generation function. To maximize sales revenue, this function has been upgraded to include a new dynamic CG feature. This automatically generates both standard and dynamic CGs during live and non-live broadcasts, ready for sale after the broadcast begins. A shopping cart feature has also been developed for the live broadcast room. Once the live broadcast begins, the CGs generated during non-live broadcasts will be added to the shopping cart."
Administrator Liu Yue answered Li Xiaoqi's questions.
Okay, okay, Dazai Osamu is right, the system is indeed a qualified businessman.
Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to touch his forehead and sighed helplessly.

At this time, in the forest behind the Ubuyashiki mansion, Dazai Osamu was running miserably behind Rengoku Kyojuro, Kamado Tanjiro and others.
Suddenly, he heard the words of the administrator June in his mind, raised his brows slightly, but did not pay much attention to it.
Dazai Osamu felt like his lungs were about to explode, but Rengoku Kyojuro was still full of energy.
"Mr. Dazai, you can't do it with just this little strength!"
After running around the mountain, Rengoku Kyojuro didn't even break a drop of sweat.
Dazai Osamu watched and marveled in his heart at the power of the breathing technique.
It’s a pity that these people from the Demon Slayer Corps can’t be taken back to become mafia.
He was complaining in his heart when he saw an interface pop up in the void next to him.
The interface shows a newly generated dynamic CG called "Promise Under the Petals", and in the upper right corner is a small video playback symbol.
Dazai Osamu slowly stopped, panting, and the look in his iris-colored eyes became unclear.
In the picture, Li Xiaoqi and Busei Kagawa were looking at each other, and countless petals were floating in the courtyard outside the corridor.
A few lavender petals flew between the two of them, adding a light and soft atmosphere.
Their conversation reached his ears, and Dazai Osamu felt more and more annoyed the more he listened.
Li Xiaoqi had a gentle expression and a bright smile on his face.
Even the grumpy Fuzukawa Miyabi had a smile in his eyes.
"I won't run away."
Dazai Osamu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
Tanjiro Kamado turned around and was startled by the oppressive atmosphere surrounding Dazai Osamu.
Agatsuma Zenitsu opened his eyes wide and took a step back in horror.
"What happened to him?"
Judging from the sound of his heartbeat, the man now has the intention to kill someone.
Inosuke Hashibira's body stiffened, and he looked at Dazai Osamu fiercely, with goose bumps on his arms.
Rengoku Kyojuro frowned slightly, walked straight to Dazai Osamu, raised his hand and patted Dazai Osamu on the shoulder.
Dazai Osamu was stunned and looked up, just in time to see the sunny smile on Rengoku Kyojuro's face.
"Hmm, tired? Then rest where you are."
Rengoku Kyojuro didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled and said.
Dazai Osamu exhaled and lay down directly on the path.
He looked at the slowly floating white clouds in the sky, which looked so white against the backdrop of the blue sky.
"You're so popular, yet you still like to meddle in other people's business..."
Suddenly, Tanjiro Kamado's face came into view, and then a rough hand was placed on his forehead.
"Strange, I don't have a fever."
The boy's worried look was reflected in his eyes, and along with the warmth from his forehead, it slowly flowed into his heart.
"Mr. Dazai, are you okay?"
"Tan, Tanjiro..."
From the side, Agatsuma Zenitsu's trembling voice came.
Dazai Osamu curled the corners of his lips, knowing why the blond boy was afraid.
Suddenly, he looked stunned, and the face of the blond boy appeared in his sight.
"Are you alright?"
He said timidly.
"Hey, you're not going to be able to run just this short distance, are you?"
Soon after, the wild boar head mask appeared.
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide and felt for the first time that his sight was filled with people.
He arched his brows and chuckled softly.
The annoyance in my heart just now gradually dissipated with the white clouds floating between the four heads.
It's an incredible feeling.
"Hmm! You look a little more refreshed."
Rengoku Kyojuro stretched out his hand, and sunlight shone from behind him.
Dazai Osamu narrowed his eyes and stared blankly at the palm of his hand.
He stretched out his hand slowly, stopping just before it touched him.
Rengoku Kyojuro grabbed Dazai Osamu's hand and pulled him up.
"Then let's move on—"
His voice echoed through the woods.
The figures of the four people were reflected in Dazai Osamu's eyes, and he seemed to feel something from them.
It’s like something that was once far away is now right in front of us and within reach.
In a short time, he forgot about loneliness.

After breakfast, Li Xiaoqi thanked the nanny who cleaned up, and then went to the yard.
She looked around nervously, squatted down behind the rockery, took out firewood and an iron pot from her backpack and set them up on the grass.
Little did they know that on the nearby wisteria tree, there was a person sitting on a thick branch watching all this.
"Tiantianhua, get in there."
Li Xiaoqi sat cross-legged on the grass, looking at the interface floating on the iron pot, which showed that 50 portions of sugar were being produced, consuming 100 sweet flowers.
She wanted to make a blood-replenishing food that was simple in ingredients and easier to carry - mint jelly. The ingredients were a mint and a portion of sugar. There were 99 mints in her backpack, so she had more than enough ingredients.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the countdown on the cooking interface. It took three minutes to make one portion of sugar, and 50 portions would take 150 minutes.
Two and a half hours!
It won’t take that long, we won’t be able to catch up with their departure time.
At this moment, a dialog box pops up on the cooking interface.
"Do you want to spend 10 gold coins to buy the Immortal Speed Bottle? (You can get it directly by using the Immortal Speed Bottle) Yes/No"
...She remembered that the Immortal Speed Bottle was used to speed up the generation of furniture or buildings in the Dust Song Pot in the game, but now it has been changed to this by the system.
Li Xiaoqi chose to buy and use it, one bottle of Xiansu bottle for one portion of sugar, spending a total of 500 gold coins.
Suddenly, she felt very distressed.
Wow, you really know how to make money.
I saw a flash of white light in the pot, and all the sugar went into the backpack.
Li Xiaoqi took out some mint from his backpack and threw it all into the pot. Another flash of white light passed by, and fifty servings of mint jelly were ready.
Each of the nine pillars can get 5 shares, and in the end there are 5 shares left for her and Dazai Osamu to keep for themselves.
She blinked, thought of Ubuyashiki Yoya and the three little ones, and immediately made some food.
"Beast meat, get inside!"
"Wild mushrooms, get them in there! Poultry, get them in there!"
Thus, twelve steaks and twenty wild mushroom and chicken skewers were freshly baked, and after a flash of white light, they were all put into the backpack.
In the eyes of the man in the tree, he only saw white light flashing in the pot, and the food disappeared the moment it appeared.
He blinked slowly and jumped down from the tree.
Li Xiaoqi just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw a handsome face.
Black hair brushed across her cheek, and her calm deep blue eyes stared quietly at Li Xiaoqi.
The haori fell on the grass, bending the green grass.
"Woooooooooo!"
Li Xiaoqi moved back suddenly and accidentally hit his head on the rockery.
"Mr. Tomioka, scaring people can kill them!"
"If you're here, please speak up—"
She covered the aching back of her head, her forehead throbbing, and said angrily.
Tomioka Giyu pursed his lips, took a step back and said nothing.
"……Feel sorry."
Only after Li Xiaoqi calmed down his rapid heartbeat did he hear these two words.
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he truly felt that Tomioka Giyu was not good at speaking.
The child has a good heart, but is not very good at speaking.
Tomioka Giyu reached out and pulled Li Xiaoqi closer to him.
Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but lean forward and put his hands on the grass.
He placed one hand on the back of his head, pressing and rubbing the painful area.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide in surprise, staring at the tortoise shell pattern on the haori in a trance.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Tomioka Giyu's calm voice sounded from the side.
Li Xiaoqi held his breath until Tomioka Giyuu withdrew his hand, then he began to breathe air slowly.
"Ah... Yeah."
"Thanks."
She said awkwardly.
Tomioka Giyuu looked at the iron pot on the grass and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
The words sounded like an interrogation to Li Xiaoqi, so she sat up straight and replied nervously, "I'm making food that can heal wounds."
Tomioka Giyu blinked slowly, "Food that can heal wounds?"
Li Xiaoqi placed his hands on his knees and nodded repeatedly.
"Dynamic CG has been generated - Whispering Behind the Rocks, and has been added to the CG collection."
In the pop-up picture, the background is still a magnificent large field of wisteria flowers.
At the foot of the rockery, Li Xiaoqi half-knelt on the grass, pressing his hands on the ground.
Tomioka Giyu held her left hand and placed his right hand on the back of her head. His expression was cold, but his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
The picture is viewed from behind her, and she only has her back in the picture.
Hello! ! !
System, are you trying to develop into an otome game?
This is an adventure game!
However, Administrator June did not answer.
Li Xiaoqi grabbed the grass and almost couldn't control his angry expression.
Meeting Tomioka Giyu's puzzled gaze, she laughed awkwardly twice.
Dazai Osamu was still in the back mountain. He picked some more flowers and was making a wreath out of boredom.
"I've changed to a different kind of flower this time. I think Xiao Qi will like it too—"
Suddenly, a system interface popped up and a dynamic CG image appeared before our eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, Dazai Osamu jumped up and dropped the wreath in his hand to the ground.
