Spared

Nogami Izumi was stunned in shock.

The girl, who had already peed in fear, seeing the ghost lady attack suddenly, almost couldn't help but release once more.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao protected her...

It's just when she was looking forward to his powerful attack, Hachishaku-sama disappeared and appeared far away..and the girl couldn't help but scream in fear.

'Damn it! Ghosts are really terrifying"

She grabbed the boy's sleeves, her palms trembling.

"Xiaoxiao"

Feeling a warm palm on her head, Izumi looked up and saw the boy's calm eyes,

"Don't worry"

"She's not that scary."

The first sentence was full of reassurance..well same couldn't be said for the next one.

'No, Xiaoxiao, isn't that scary enough.'

An Eight-footed ghost lady with scary eyes..and the one that can float and disappear?

The girl doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

....

Of course Mu Xiaoxiao, didn't think she was scary at all.

Not to mention he didn't feel any extraordinary strength from her.

He held a prop in his hand..and a powerful aura burst out in the surroundings.

Hachishaku-sama felt a powerful force on her, locking her in place, but before she could do anything, the boy was in front of her.

...

"So, you are the famous Hachishaku-sama," he said, looking up at her towering figure.

He, a six footed guy couldn't even reaching her chest.

"Well...can you sit down?"

Hearing this, the ghost lady blinked...

Mu Xiaoxiao thought she couldn't understand human language, so he stretched out his palm to make a signal.

The next second he felt a strong wave of wind,

"Careful"

Block.

Dodge.

Block..

The boy looked at the gigantic fist that was twice the size of his, and countered with a swift punch.

The impact made her stagger, her form wavering like a shadow in the wind.

She attacked once more, but this time he was already ready..and didn't give her a chance at all.

He moved not just with physical strength, but also with his cognitive ability and martial art prop, giving him an intuitive understanding of his otherworldly opponent.

The ghost lady was unstable and when he punched she fell to the ground..

Grasping her mountainous chest...well he could only reach up there, not to mention she was also attacking so..cough.

He looked at the subdued ghost lady in front of him, and took out the prop.

This was one of the few he's prepared for spiritual attacks.

Now that his Spirit attribute was so high, he could almost condense holy spear, not to mention exorcising a ghost.

Sure enough, seeing this thing..Hachishaku-sama trembled.

She wanted to stand up and run but she felt a huge pressure on her body, causing her to stay in place.

'Am I going to be...killed?'

She looked at this strange and powerful human in front of her blankly.

Against him, she was powerless from the beginning to the end.

But she didn't want to die.

Closing her eyes, the memories of her life couldn't help but flesh.

Lonely, barren, Desolate...Pitiful.

Maybe...

Even after waiting for so long the expected death didn't come, so Hachishaku-sama opened her eyes, only to see the bad guy smiling at her.

"So Miss Hachishaku also gets afraid?"

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, looking at the eight-foot lady kneeling before him.

"Tell me, do you want to die or live?"

Was he mocking her, laughing at her, or pitying her, she didn't know...but on the verge of disappearance, the truest thoughts of her heart came to the surface.

"Live...I want to live."

She looked at the boy and muttered.

"Ok"

'Eh'

"Izumi, lets go"

Contrary to everything she expected, after hearing her words, the boy nodded turned around and left with the girl.

Leaving the confused and tangled ghost lady behind.

_________________

Hachishaku-sama was a country girl from a rural village.

Since birth, she had always stayed in the mountains of the countryside, and had never gone out, so it should not be an exaggeration to say that she was a country girl.

As for why she never left, even as the area became more and more isolated, she still didn't choose to move elsewhere or to a city.

It's mainly because she's somewhat fearful and scared of the outside world.

The longer she stayed in the countryside, the more she felt repelled by the outside world, and don't look at how this Eight-foot-sama acted like a monster when she was just scary.

In fact, she's not very brave.

Just like earlier, when Mu Xiaoxiao tool out the prop, she was really scared.

Everything else she did was just to protect herself.

It's a pity, in front of the boy's absolute power she couldn't do anything at all.

In the dense forest, the woman's expression was somewhat hesitant.

Although Mu Xiaoxiao left a certain shadow on her, but that bad guy actually let her go? Somewhat unexpected.

"I thought he would continue to bully me..."

She should have run away, getting as far from that dangerous human boy as possible, but for some reason, she actually stayed, hiding here and watching them secretly.

Hachishaku-sama rubbed the chest area where she had been attacked, watching Mu Xiaoxiao in the distance in the hot spring...her emotions in turmoil.

In addition to fear, there was also curiosity...

'Who are you?'

In the hot spring..

Izumi Nogami and Mu Xiaoxiao were sitting in the water enjoying themselves.

The warm water on the night was quite comfortable, especially when she was so dirty and she felt as if every pores of her bodies were relaxing.

The quiet of the forest and the beautiful starry sky formed a picturesque scene, creating a cozy atmosphere that made the girl squint her eyes.

And Izumi took a moment to glance at the boy, who was also soaking in the hot spring not far away.

Her eyes moved from his neck to his collarbone to the muscles on his chest, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

Bathing in hot springs with boys or something like that.

Although some hot spring hotels also offer mixed bathing services, she had never tried it before, and now trying it first time with a guy...Izumi's body sank slightly.

'He shouldn't be able to see it...How could ever think of taking a bath with a man before?'

'But he is not someone, he is Xiaoxiao, the person I...and he's also stained by me, so there's nothing I can do about it.'

Blushing and muttering, she looked at the boy, and seeing him closing his eyes; unmoved and concentrating, the girl felt a little unwilling.

Izumi was still very confident about her figure.

'Why didn't he take a look?'

But having said that, he also has a very good figure.

It's not that apparent when he's wearing clothes but now...

No wonder he is so strong.

She suddenly had an urge to touch him~.

"It's a pity that it's summer now," the girl couldn't help but make conversation, "It would be more comfortable to soak in the hot spring in winter."

"Then come in winter," Mu Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, "No one knows about this place anyway."

"Will you come too?" The hot girl's wet hair was draped on her shoulders, and she looked at him with big eyes.

Her once fierce aura had already disappeared in front of him, and she asked pretending to be calm.

"Izumi, do you want me to come?"

"I..."

In the and, she moved her head away arrogantly, "I just think this place is too remote. and it's easy for girls to encounter danger. If you come with us... it will be much safer."

"Sounds good. Anyway, I won't suffer any loss when I join you in the hot springs," Mu Xiaoxiao leaned back playfully.

"..."

A picture couldn't help but appear in her mind.

Mu Xiaoxiao playing in the hot spring with a group of girls, and her face suddenly darkened, "How is that possible?! That kind of messy stuff... No way!"

"But aren't we taking a hot spring bath together now?" Mu Xiaoxiao splashed some water, his gaze palpable as it moved over her fair neck, "This is okay?"

"We are only..."

The blush spread to her neck, and the girl lowered her gaze.

"We are just cleaning our body...not doing that kind of thing..."

Her vision was like ants crawling on her body, causing a tingling sensation.

Seeing this hot girl with an arrogant temper and strong personality, blushing like a little girl, Mu Xiaoxiao tilted his body slightly curiously, and stopped trying to tease her, "Izumi, your appearance now is so different from what you looked like in school...like really different."

"Ah?" She didn't react for a moment, "What?"

"I remember when you three hot girls dragged me out of the classroom so aggressively that you wanted to teach me a lesson... how domineering you were," Mu Xiaoxiao began to recall.

"Don't mention the past things. Aren't they all in the past?" The girl snorted in shame, "Or do you like that type of me, Xiaoxiao?"

"Actually, even though you were strong and arrogant, you were still very charming."

"..."

He can't be serious.

She thought of the past events in school, bit her lip, and lifted her foot underwater, tilting her head back, "In that case, Mu Xiaoxiao, come over and lick my feet."
