I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Meihong's voice was so soft that the pharmacy owner could hardly hear it, but the pharmacy owner did not hesitate and immediately picked up the medicine skillfully.

Meihong stood there looking at a loss, glancing outside from time to time, as if someone was chasing her.

A few minutes later, the pharmacy owner packed a prescription and handed it to Meihong. At the same time, Meihong also handed a few copper coins to the pharmacy owner. Then she looked outside again, confirmed something, and ran back to Fujiwara Mansion quickly.

A person who was buying medicine nearby asked the pharmacy owner in confusion: "Boss, that dose of medicine should cost more than this, right? Why..."

The pharmacy owner glanced at the visitor, then lowered his head to sort out the herbs and said casually, "You must be from another area. The small shops in our area all know about Meihong's situation, so they gave her a discount. You will know if you ask around nearby.

However, due to the special circumstances, it is not convenient to disclose it, so please do not ask any more questions."

When the visitor heard this, although he was confused, he did not continue to ask.

"Really? Thank you, boss."

......

Not far from the pharmacy, Luo Bai was sitting there leisurely, just turning a page of the book in his hand.

The next day.

Luo Bai sat calmly in the courtyard with the door open, waiting for someone to arrive.

After a while, a figure tentatively stepped into the gate.

Chapter 32: Kaguya the Bamboo Cutter

Sanuki Zoumaro thought that he had very good luck yesterday because he met an Onmyoji, who was rarely seen in normal years, and received his blessing for good luck today.

But blessings are blessings, and life is life. Even if you receive blessings, you still have to live your life.

So he continued with his usual work, going up the mountain to cut bamboo, while wondering if something good would happen to him.

Because I was in a very happy mood, I felt that I had much more strength than usual even when cutting bamboo, and I could break the bamboo easily.

When the harvest for the day was almost done and we decided to cut one more before going back, an accident happened.

'clang! ’

With one swing of the axe, the bamboo that should have been easily broken bounced the axe away. Zaomaro looked at the axe in confusion, and there was no sign of damage, so he swung the axe again.

This time it didn't bounce off, and the axe got embedded a little bit.

Zoumaro pulled it out with all his strength and looked solemnly at the bamboo in front of him.

He had a hunch that perhaps this special bamboo was his good luck for the day.

Putting the bamboo on his back aside, Zoumaro rubbed his palms, gripped the axe tightly and started chopping hard.

This went on until the day was almost over and the moment of the devil was about to arrive, when Zoumaro swung his axe with one last powerful blow and the bamboo broke.

Throwing the axe aside, Zaomaro stared blankly at the broken bamboo mouth without feeling tired at all.

A little figure named Xiuzhen, no bigger than a palm, lay there quietly.

At the same time, the little man seemed to feel the fresh air, opened his bright black eyes and looked into Zoumaro's eyes.

With an inexplicable feeling in his heart, Zaomaru carefully picked up the little man and quickly returned home, forgetting to even take the bamboo he had chopped all day and the axe that was not broken at all.

Just as Zaomaro was leaving, a white-haired figure stood in the air and watched everything silently.

Because it was already night, except for Zoumaro's house which had not closed its door and had some lights on, the rest of the houses were in darkness, so no one noticed Zoumaro's hurried return.

The lights in Zaomaro's house were on all night long, which was a luxury that no one except the nobles dared to afford in that era.

No one knows what he and his wife talked about.

The next day, before daybreak, Zaomaro lightly covered the little person in his arms and hurriedly left home.

"Excuse me, sir, are you here?"

Following the guidance in his heart, Zaomaru came to an open door. After a slight hesitation, Zaomaru walked in quietly and asked in a low voice.

"Come in, old man." Luo Bai's voice came from the courtyard.

"I dare not, I dare not, sir, you can just call me Zaomaru, I am not worthy of the title of old man."

Zaomaro hastily refused.

If he still had doubts in his heart yesterday and Luo Bai was just saying it casually, but after this happened, his doubts disappeared instantly, and he even felt a little panic that he did not have enough respect in his heart.

The thought of him actually having the idea of ​​using the Yin Yang Master to profit for himself yesterday filled him with panic. If this matter wasn't of such great importance that he and his wife couldn't keep it under their radar, he wouldn't have dared to come here.

Today, as Luo Bai said yesterday, he shouted in his heart as soon as he entered Heijokyo, and came here in a daze. The door was open, as if it was waiting for him.

"Then I will call you Zaomaru." Luo Bai's voice came again.

"Thank you, sir."

"Come in and we'll talk. I'm not a monster, there's no need to be so scared."

"......Yes."

After thinking about it, he found that it was indeed inconvenient to talk about this matter outside. Zaomaru also came into the courtyard and saw Luo Bai sitting at a table.

Before Luo Bai could ask, Zaomaru took out the thing hidden in his arms and placed it on the table in front of Luo Bai.

"Sir, this is a baby I found yesterday while cutting bamboo with your blessing. I would like you to see if she is a monster. If not... To be honest, my wife and I want to adopt her as our child."

Zaomaro was a little panicked. After bringing the child back yesterday and discussing with his wife, he planned to adopt her, but suddenly he remembered that the child came out of a bamboo, and he was afraid that she was a monster.

But when he recalled what he was told when he met Luo Bai during the day, he was not sure whether it was a gift from God.

In order to prevent any accidents, I brought my child to Luo Bai today.

As for the reason why he didn't come that night, firstly, he was afraid of disturbing Luo Bai's rest, and secondly, the world at night was not safe, and he didn't dare to go out.

Just as Zaomaru was asking Luo Bai, the baby placed on the table seemed to disappear because of the warm environment, and its body felt a little cool and woke up from its sleep.

"I remember that I was staying at the house Yonglin had found for me yesterday. It's only this morning, so why would a baby like me feel cold?"

The baby thought so and opened his eyes to see what was happening around him. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself being stared at by the same dark eyes.

Seeing the baby still looking a little confused, Luo Bai reached out and poked her cheek, chuckling softly, "Don't worry, Zaomaru. I've dealt with quite a few monsters before. This baby doesn't have a trace of demonic energy, so it's obviously not a monster."

'Who is this person? How dare he be so rude to me?!'

Feeling the touch on his face, the baby opened his eyes wide, as if staring at Luo Bai.

"But your knowledge is quite good. I am not comparable to those ugly monsters."

"In that case, then I am relieved."

Hearing that the baby was not a monster, Zaomaru was relieved, but then he looked at Luo Bai with hope and asked.

"Then may I ask, sir, can my family adopt her?"

"It's not his decision whether to adopt me or not. If it weren't for Yonglin's arrangement, I wouldn't want to be adopted by someone on Earth."

"Of course you can. This is the gift God has given to your family."

"Ah, you are only a mortal after all. How can you possibly understand the nobility of us, the Moon People?"

The baby was disdainful in her heart. Although the person in front of her seemed to be a person with cultivation, he couldn't even see through her identity. After all, he was just a mortal.

"No, no, I have to thank you very much, sir. If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met her."

Although he said no, Zaomaro smiled as he looked at the baby.

But the smile didn't last long, and Luo Bai's slightly serious voice was heard again.

"Although this child is a gift from heaven, he has the appearance of a human, so he will definitely grow like a human."

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Zaomaru looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Is there anything wrong with growing up like a human?

"I do grow like a person on Earth, but my growth rate is much faster than that of a person on Earth."

The baby seemed to want to wave her arms to show that she was completely normal, but she was wrapped tightly and could not move. She could only stare at Luo Bai to see what he wanted to say.

"If it were some mountain elf or wild monster that was as quiet as her, it would be a good thing, but humans are different. Babies can't breathe when they are first born.

Zaomaru, you have been watching her for so long, has she ever cried?"

"This...I really haven't cried. Is there anything wrong with this, sir?"

Zaomaru looked at Luo Bai's serious face and did not dare to hide anything.

"I am a being born with knowledge. How could I really cry like the people on earth who are born without knowledge? I want to see what you, a human, have to say."

The baby blinked her eyes, causing Luo Bai's gaze to shift to her.

“This is a big problem.

Generally, babies cry when they are born because they cannot breathe through their noses, so they need to cry out loudly to breathe through their mouths. If they don’t cry out loudly, they may suffocate to death due to lack of air.”

"Haven't I already said that I'm different from you earthlings? Even if I don't breathe, there won't be any problems. So why would I show such an ugly posture as crying?"

The baby looked at Luo Bai with disdain again, but suddenly found that Luo Bai's eyes met hers.

"Wait, what does this human want to do? Is he trying to make me cry? Impossible! Even if I were a baby, I wouldn't..."

"What shall we do, my Lord?"

Zaomaro looked at the baby anxiously. He had never heard of such a thing, but there was no need for him, an old man, to lie to the Onmyoji based on what he heard.

So there must be something wrong with this baby not crying!

Is there really any danger?

"Don't worry, there are ways to deal with a baby who doesn't cry, for example... spanking."

Luo Bai stared into the baby's eyes and spoke with a half-smile.

"What! You lowly earthling actually want to hit me! Damn it! If Yonglin hadn't sealed my ability and I had to wait until I grew up to use it, I would have made you pay!"

"This... is an adult. The baby's body is so weak. If I give him a beating... won't it be a problem?"

Zaomaro looked at the baby's reminder, then looked at his own palm, suspecting that if he slapped the baby, the baby would disappear.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing will naturally be handled by professionals." Luo Bai waved his hand, indicating that Zaomaru didn't need to take action.

Zaomaru smiled awkwardly, he was indeed overthinking it.

"Could you please help me one more time?"

He can't do it, but Luo Bai in front of him must be able to do it. After all, he is an Yin-Yang Master, so his skills must not be worse than those midwives in the clinic, right?

"Of course." Luo Bai nodded slightly.

"Hmph, no matter how you hit me, I won't cry. And I want to see how you'll face this old man if I don't cry after all the beatings you've done."

After receiving Zaomaru's request, Luo Bai slowly stretched out his arm towards the baby, but suddenly seemed to think of something and muttered, "I remember that spanking seems to be the most efficient..."

As soon as the words fell, panic flashed in the baby's eyes.

"What? You're just a mortal and you want to hit me, and you even want to hit me there. Are you kidding me?!"

The baby tried to struggle and refuse, but was held tightly by the cloth that wrapped her, unable to move.

Then I saw one hand picking her up, and the other hand was about to untie the cloth wrapped around her.

So...

"Wa...Wa..." The loud crying sound spread throughout the courtyard.

"Damn it, you human, just wait for me. When I regain my strength, I will definitely not let you go!"

Looking at the crying baby, Zaomaru's wrinkled face finally relaxed, and Luo Bai also stopped what he was doing.

"Sir, it should be okay for the child to cry out loud, right?" Zaomaro asked cautiously.

"Of course you can." Luo Bai put the baby back on the table and continued, "But you have to remember that babies don't know what hunger and fullness are. They won't move when they're not hungry, and they won't eat anything you feed them.

Once she is hungry, she will cry loudly and need to be fed as soon as possible because at that time she is in dire need of additional food.

So if she doesn't cry and refuses to eat, please tell me immediately and I will help you solve it."

"Yes, thank you very much, sir. I feel relieved to have such concern from you."

"Haha, there's no need for that. I just want to see how far this child can grow."

"Why are you thanking him, old man? I will eat when I'm hungry. Besides, I don't even have the concept of hunger, so why would I cry because of hunger? Wait... Is this human saying this on purpose?"

The baby suddenly stopped crying and looked at Luo Bai.
