Bai An's silent expression puzzled Reimu.
"Reimu, do you know you only have six years left to live?"
Bai An finally asked the question. Lingmeng was taken aback at first, but then calmly nodded.
"I know, but this is my fate."
She spoke so casually, as if it were all perfectly natural.
However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Bai An pinched her delicate face hard, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
"Hiss, what are you doing—"
"Of course, I'm teaching you a lesson, you self-righteous guy who likes to act mature."
"Hey, I know I was wrong, let go, it hurts."
Reimu struggled desperately, trying to break free from the other's clutches.
Bai An was very strong. Ling Meng struggled for a few seconds, then gradually slumped down and let Bai An bully her.
"You idiot, if you die, Marisa, me, and everyone else will be very sad."
"I...."
Reimu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.
Bai An gently rubbed her face again, this time very lightly, without using much force.
"I'm here to help you resolve this matter."
After saying that, Bai An turned his head and looked at Yakumo Yukari, who was standing silently to the side.
"Zi, you tricked me into coming here just for this, didn't you?"
“We’re not kidding you. This is just a side benefit. All the benefits we mentioned earlier are true. We just don’t trust anyone else to become a god of the Hakurei Shrine. Anyway, you can resurrect indefinitely. When you die, you’ll just be reborn. There’s no loss.”
Yukari Yakumo grumbled discontentedly, seemingly complaining that she had worked hard to find a good job but was being doubted.
Bai An rolled her eyes, not wanting to argue with her, and turned to look at Lingmeng, who looked completely bewildered.
“After establishing a connection between you as a god and a priestess, I can not only see your condition, but I can also share my life force with you.”
Upon hearing this, Reimu hesitated for a moment, but considering the mountain of healing items Bai An had accumulated and the ability to revive infinitely, she nodded.
Rich people, they won't die, so they can spend as much as they want.
As Bai An took her little hand in his again.
Instantly, a strong life force surged into her body, repairing her damaged body.
Reimu's body, which had been cold due to the severe weather, slowly warmed up. She squinted her eyes, feeling extremely comfortable and cozy.
It's so heartwarming...
It's getting warmer... hotter?
"There's too much! It's overflowing!"
A burning heat surged through my body, and my life force seemed to be overflowing from some strange place.
The enormous life force startled Reimu, who quickly called for a halt. Bai An frowned.
"I've only just started, and I've already lost so little. Is that enough? Shall we play some more?"
"If we lose again, we'll be wiped out!"
Reimu angrily clenched her fist, her face flushed red. She felt burning hot all over, and her clothes were soaked through in the dead of winter.
She didn't want to be burst by Bai An before the great barrier had even drained her dry.
Bai An looked at Ling Meng's face, which was turning red and black, and stopped forcing her to continue. He stopped the transfer of life force and withdrew his hand.
Reimu suddenly felt a wave of relief wash over her. She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
She sensed the current state of her body and stared in astonishment.
She knew Bai An had a strong vitality, but this was just too outrageous.
If we say that her vitality was originally a lake that was about to dry up.
A water pump is continuously pumping water. Now it is not only full, but in the process, it has been forcibly expanded many times, and its capacity has been increased.
With Reimu's matter resolved, Yukari Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief, changed her mood, and leaned closer to ask Bai An curiously.
"Do you feel any changes now? Do you feel like your strength has increased significantly, and you've become incredibly powerful?"
Logically speaking, such a large amount of faith would be more than enough to turn an ordinary person into a powerful youkai of the level of Lan. With the amount of faith accumulated by the Hakurei Shrine, it would be easy for Hakuan to advance further.
Bai An carefully examined the sensation and then shook his head.
"No, I didn't feel any of the power of faith you mentioned, and I also didn't feel that awesome feeling you described."
"Huh? No? How could that be?"
Yakumo Yukari was slightly surprised.
He quickly approached him, placed his hand on his shoulder, and carefully examined him, but found no trace of faith power.
Could something be wrong? Bai An cannot accept these beliefs, so why can she become a deity of the Hakurei Shrine?
Yukari Yakumo froze, her thoughts racing.
She's now trying to figure out how to gloss over this, since she hasn't really delivered on the promises she made to Bai An.
"How about we consider this another favor we owe you?"
She raised her head guiltily.
"Come on, you owe me so many favors."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then. How about I give myself to you?"
Yakumo Yukari pressed her index finger to her lips and blinked at Bai An.
If it were anyone else looking like her, they would probably be completely captivated and want to give her everything.
If we disregard age, Yukari Yakumo is still very beautiful.
But Bai An was different; she showed absolutely no reaction to Yakumo Yukari, and even displayed a look of disgust.
"Is this what you call repaying a favor? This is repaying kindness with enmity. You might as well give Lan to me."
Yakumo Yukari's lips twitched violently a few times. She took a step back unwillingly and glared at Bai An through gritted teeth.
"As expected, I knew you'd been eyeing our fox all along!"
She immediately adopted a dramatic expression, as if she were facing a heartless man.
Bai An remained unmoved, she said with a pursed lip.
"Then tell me what reward you want, and we'll try our best to satisfy you."
Bai An glanced at it disdainfully, then waved his hand dismissively and said:
"No need for a reward. Even if you hadn't tricked me into coming here, I certainly wouldn't have stood idly by if I had known about Reimu's situation."
Upon hearing Bai An's words, Ling Meng paused, her lips parted slightly, but she swallowed her words back.
With her eyes lowered and eyelids slightly closed, she concealed the deep sorrow hidden in them.
“I don’t need a reward, and I did gain something this time.”
Bai An grinned, giving a mysterious smile.
"What goods have been received?"
Yukari Yakumo was stunned. Without the power of faith, one could only say that one had held hands with the gods and gained a follower. Could there really be any gain from that?
It's absurd to think that you can unlock some new ability just by touching it.
And that was indeed the case, as Bai An calmly stated:
"Let's take the simplest example. In the past, the time it took me to destroy an object would increase with its hardness, right? In other words, the harder the object, the longer it would take to destroy."
Yakumo Yukari nodded.
She knew that as Bai An's strength increased, destroying simple ores would only take a moment, but destroying something like the Saigyou Tree would be a bit more difficult.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and abruptly looked up at Bai An, her pupils contracting.
"Don't tell me you don't have these restrictions now."
"Congratulations, you guessed right. Now, destroying anything is just a matter of waving your hand. Moreover, I've unlocked a lot of creative abilities. You still remember the Iron Golem, right? Now you can call it the Gold Golem, the Drill Golem, or even the Obsidian Golem."
Bai An snapped his fingers, raised his chin triumphantly, and Yakumo Yukari stared at him with her mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time, looking at him as if he were a monster.
After a long while, she finally sighed.
"Brilliant!"
All sorts of outrageous abilities are emerging one after another.
She suspected that this guy's potential might be to become the creator god of a world, which could explain why things like the power of faith were completely ineffective for him. It wasn't that he couldn't receive it, but that he simply didn't need it.
This thing's potential far exceeds the power of faith; it doesn't even belong to the same plane.
Thinking of this, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely pleased.
The reason is simple: Bai An is bound to Gensokyo. From the moment the portal was established and the world behind it provided the source power to Gensokyo, Gensokyo had already established a connection with Bai An, which means that it subconsciously clung to Bai An's coattails.
And even if we don't talk about that...
Yukari Yakumo believes that Hakuan Hikaru is doing this for the friends he met in Gensokyo, and she will not stand idly by.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that she had really hit the jackpot this year. Gensokyo actually managed to find such a treasure, and it just appeared out of nowhere.
"What kind of look is that? You're not thinking something bad, are you? Why are you smiling so slyly?"
Just as Yakumo Yukari was feeling happy, she saw Bai An staring at her warily, taking a half-step back to distance himself from her, as if guarding against a pervert.
"Pah! Who's cunning? How can you use the word 'cunning' to describe a young girl!"
"Then why are you laughing?"
"Hmph, you're in a good mood, aren't you? Consider this a favor we owe you. I'm leaving now, do as you please."
Yukari Yakumo hummed a tune, opened a gap, and slipped inside, disappearing from sight.
