This action was too intimate.

After drying his hair, Yakumo Ran put away the towel and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Phew~"

Bai Luo let out a long sigh, calmed his mood, and began to wander around the Yakumo Residence.

According to Yakumo Ran, he could go anywhere except Yakumo Yukari's room, which he should try to avoid.

The Yakumo Residence is located on the edge of Fantasy Land, and its interior is connected to Yakumo Yukari's gap.

From the outside, it looks like an old manor of moderate size.

Inside, however, it is a world of its own. Not only is the space much larger, but the layout is also extremely exquisite, with rock gardens, artificial water features, hanging scrolls, wall decorations, and potted plants.

One has to admit, the architectural style of the Yakumo Residence truly suits the residence of a Youkai Sage.

It is quiet and elegant.

After a simple stroll around, dinner was ready.

A nine-tailed fox with maxed-out housekeeping skills was indeed not to be underestimated.

Her cooking was quite good; even the picky Bai Luo couldn't help but feel satisfied.

After eating his fill, Bai Luo returned to his room and sat by the window.

Through the window frame, he saw the night sky of Fantasy Land.

The moon hung high in the night sky, with countless bright and dazzling stars, and occasionally a few meteors streaked across.

The scene before him seemed to remind Bai Luo that this was not his original world.

"Great Sage, how much time is left now?"

【According to the original calculation, only eight months remain until complete collapse】

Eight months?

Bai Luo murmured to himself.

Since time is running out, instead of just eating and playing in his original world, it might be better to come to another world for an adventure and spend his last time here.

Looking at it this way, transmigration is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Wait! Original calculation?"

Suddenly, Bai Luo keenly caught the keyword.

【The air in this world contains a special energy that can alleviate the collapse. Since entering this world, the analysis and absorption have been ongoing】

Bai Luo quickly asked:

"What's the situation now? How much time is left?"

【Unable to calculate. Once this energy is absorbed to a certain extent, the individual Bai Luo will evolve as a whole】

【The problem of collapse will also disappear with the individual's evolution】

"So, even if I don't do anything now, the problem of collapse can be completely solved?"

Bai Luo was overjoyed and asked tentatively.

【Correct】

【Proceed with quantitative analysis?】

"Proceed."

【Status data quantification in progress——】

....

【Collapse Value 15%】

【Evolution Value 10%】

Bai Luo's mood became even more cheerful. The gloomy feeling caused by Yakumo Yukari's antics immediately vanished, swept away completely.

He hadn't expected that this transmigration would solve his biggest problem.

How lucky!

Chapter 4: The Happy Hut by the Flower Field

"Morning~"

Rubbing his sleepy little face, Bai Luo greeted. Perhaps because he wasn't used to the bed, he slept very uncomfortably last night.

"Good morning, Young Master Bai."

Yakumo Ran placed the plate with milk and toast on the table and turned around:

"Breakfast will be a little while. Please go wash up first. The toiletries have been prepared for you."

"Mhm..."

Bai Luo nodded groggily and walked towards the washroom.

By the time he finished washing up, the table was filled with plates and dishes, looking incredibly lavish.

The aroma tickled his nose, and most of his sleepiness instantly faded away. Bai Luo couldn't wait to start eating.

"Ran, your cooking is really good," Bai Luo praised while eating, his cheeks puffed out.

"As long as Young Master Bai likes it," Yakumo Ran smiled.

Bai Luo suddenly remembered someone and looked around, asking curiously:

"Where is that Yakumo Yukari fellow?"

Yakumo Ran's expression stiffened slightly, and she finally sighed helplessly:

...Zi Daren is still sleeping."

"Sleeping? Do you need me to go wake her up?" Bai Luo chewed his food, his words muffled.

"No need to trouble yourself. Zi Daren is always a late riser. She usually wakes up at night or in the early morning."

Saying this, Yakumo Ran cast a resentful glance towards the bedroom door at the end of the corridor.

At night or in the early morning?

Bai Luo's mouth twitched.

Is this person some kind of nocturnal creature?

Just by looking at Yakumo Ran's resentful expression just now, one could imagine how difficult it usually was to wake Yakumo Yukari up.

"I'll help you with the dishes later."

Bai Luo offered proactively. It felt awkward letting Yakumo Ran do everything.

Yakumo Ran shook her head and smiled, "I can handle these chores. No need to be polite."

As if remembering something, she sighed:

"If only Zi Daren could be like Young Master Bai, at least she wouldn't sleep until the sun sets every day, and then just lie in bed without wanting to move after waking up."

Hearing this, Bai Luo looked away guiltily.

If it weren't for the unfamiliar place and not being used to the bed, according to his usual habits, he might have slept until the afternoon.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Are there any suitable places nearby to build a house?"

Build a house? Yakumo Ran was startled for a moment, then reacted, "Young Master Bai, you want to move out?!"

Moving out after staying for only one day, how could Yakumo Ran accept this? She anxiously asked:

"Is there something that Ran didn't do well, or something you are not satisfied with? If so, please just say it."

"No, no, how could it be your problem? It's just that I want to..."

"I understand."

Yakumo Ran interrupted Bai Luo's words, her gaze falling in the direction of Yakumo Yukari's room. Her expression held a trace of helplessness. After a few seconds, she sighed deeply.

As if understanding what Yakumo Ran was thinking, Bai Luo's eyes widened instantly, and he grumbled unhappily:

"What are you thinking? I don't have that kind of relationship with that Yakumo Yukari fellow."

Afraid that Yakumo Ran wouldn't believe him, he added:

"I just want to have my own house. Besides, it's not suitable for me to stay here all the time."

Hearing Bai Luo's explanation, Yakumo Ran looked up and said earnestly:

"You don't need to be like this. The Yakumo Residence is your home, there's nothing unsuitable about it."

Bai Luo felt a warmth, but in order to be able to slack off to his heart's content in the future, he insisted:

"I also like the Yakumo Residence, but I still want to build a house of my own."

Saying this, he looked at Yakumo Ran with pitiful eyes, in a way that made it hard to refuse.

Yakumo Ran looked troubled, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she slowly offered suggestions:

"If Young Master Bai truly wants to build a residence for himself, you can consider building it near the Hakurei Shrine. It's relatively quiet there, and the miko of the Hakurei Shrine has a good relationship with us at the Yakumo Residence."

"If you want convenience, you can build the house in the Human Village. It's a place where humans gather, life is convenient, and it's relatively safe."

"If you want some peace and quiet by yourself, you can choose the Lake of Mist. The environment there is beautiful, and it's not far from the Human Village."

After listening to Yakumo Ran's introduction, Bai Luo propped his head up, looking thoughtful. Then, he looked up and said:

"Let's go take a look first. I don't know which one to choose."

Bai Luo still had some impression of places like the Hakurei Shrine and the Human Village.

But his understanding of Fantasy Land in his previous life was only through text or games, and coupled with the long passage of time, his memory was very vague.

Therefore, it would be better to scout the locations in person.

Yakumo Ran nodded, opened a gap, and took Bai Luo to the three places she mentioned.

The two first arrived at the Lake of Mist.

It was indeed very beautiful here. Looking out, the water rippled, the green grass was lush, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Lake of Mist, as the name suggests, would be covered in a vast expanse of white fog every day from the hour of the rabbit to the hour of the horse, which is roughly from six in the morning to twelve noon.

However, this didn't really affect Bai Luo. During this time, he was still lying in bed.

Afterward, Bai Luo followed Yakumo Ran to the Hakurei Shrine.

The Hakurei Shrine is located in the easternmost part of Fantasy Land, at the boundary between the outside world and Fantasy Land. Although it is a shrine, no one usually comes here.

Because of the special nature of the Hakurei Shrine, no ignorant little youkai would pop up either, so it can be said to be very quiet.

Finally, they arrived at the Human Village.

The Human Village is very large. Although called a village, it is actually more like a small city. Most of the buildings are wooden houses, with a small number of brick and tile structures.

Its advantage is exactly as Yakumo Ran described - convenient.

There were commercial streets, inns, restaurants, and even snack shops, everything was available.

After seeing these three places, Bai Luo didn't rush to make a decision. Instead, he asked Yakumo Ran to go back first while he wandered around the area.

It concerned his future residence, his foundation for slacking off, so he couldn't be too casual.

There was also an intuition telling him that there was a better place.

Leaving the Human Village, Bai Luo wandered around Fantasy Land, looking as he walked.

Finally, he stopped by a small stream.

Moreover, the stream flowed slowly, the water was clear, and the fish and shrimp at the bottom could be seen playing in the water, occasionally jumping a few times as if provoking him.

He could fish here, eat snacks, and drink beverages, which would also be a good choice.

Although it was not as grand as the Lake of Mist, to its northwest was the Magic Forest, with a fruit grove nearby.

Standing here, looking east, an endless golden sea of flowers came into view.
