I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Well, if that's the case, then let's just settle it."

Luo Bai nodded slightly, then looked at Fujiwara no Fuhito.

"Does Lord Fujiwara have anything else to do? If not, I will take my leave now."

Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need to stay.

Instead of waiting with Fujiwara and praising each other, it would be better to go back and tell stories to Meikou, or go and tease Kaguya.

"Mr. Luo, you're worrying too much. I asked you to come here because of the barnyard field matter. Now that it's done, you can do as you please."

After hearing this, Luo Bai stood up and was about to leave.

"Thank you very much, Lord Fujiwara. I believe you two still have matters to discuss, so there is no need to send more."

Then, Luo Bai took Meihong and walked out slowly.

This also made Fujiwara no Fuhito look at Meihong for the second time.

After Luo Bai and the other man disappeared, the remaining two started talking again.

"Lord Fujiwara, why do I feel like Mr. Luo seems to have a different opinion of you?"

"Maybe it's because of Meihong."

"Meihong? Could it be the little girl who had been sitting there just now?"

"Yes, she is one of my daughters."

After hearing this, Ali stopped asking questions.

Although they were friends, she still felt it was inconvenient for her to get involved in other people's family affairs.

Seeing this, Fujiwara no Fuhito took the initiative to change the subject and talked about other things, and soon they were chatting and laughing again.

After a while, Ali also left.

Fujiwara no Fuhito called one of his trusted confidants.

"Go check his information... If he went to another continent, someone as special as him would have left traces."

"Yes."

Chapter 48 Going to Hell

On the way back, Meihong lowered her head dejectedly, still thinking about what had just happened.

They discussed there for such a long time that she realized Fujiwara no Fuhito didn't even look at her, and she fell into self-doubt for a moment.

What exactly is she to Fujiwara no Fuhito?

In terms of status alone, she is Fujiwara no Fuhito's daughter, and even his biological daughter, but Fujiwara no Fuhito did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father to her, nor did he fulfill his responsibilities as a husband to his mother.

But politically speaking, maybe she's just a tool?

She didn't understand politics, but she knew that most of her father's wives were the result of so-called marriage alliances, so the children of those women could live a life far better than that of ordinary people.

But her mother wasn't.

She didn't know why her mother married into the Fujiwara family, nor did she know why her father agreed to let her be born.

If you didn't intend to take good care of her from the beginning, why not just not let her be born? Why let her suffer so much in this world?

Although her life is better than that of ordinary people, different people should make judgments based on different circumstances.

In some families, adults work from sunrise to sunset, and children go to ordinary schools and have almost no rest every day.

But I can be happy every day.

She stayed in such a huge Fujiwara mansion, ate meals specially prepared by the chef, and had teachers come to teach her every day, but she was always bullied. Except for her mother, no one could get along with her peacefully.

Born in a bright and upright place, yet surrounded by darkness.

If...would it be better if she wasn't at the Fujiwara family...

Maybe her mother wouldn't be ignored, maybe she'd have a father who loved her, maybe her brothers and sisters would treat her kindly, maybe...

Unfortunately, there is no maybe.

It is said that silence is the greatest contempt, but in fact, ignoring is not much different.

Even though she still had some illusions about Fujiwara Fuhito before, what happened today made her heart completely cold.

It’s not that Fujiwara no Fuhito didn’t have time to visit the mother and daughter, but he simply didn’t think about it or didn’t care.

If there were no other external factors, she would do as her mother said, and someone would come to propose marriage to her when she was of the right age, or even before she reached adulthood, which is the so-called arranged marriage.

And her father would probably be happy to marry her off.

As the daughter of Fujiwara no Fuhito, she would probably be born into a good family, but would be ignored like her mother and experience the same thing as her mother.

However, external factors have already appeared...

Meihong looked up at Luo Bai, who seemed distracted, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Brother Luo Bai, you said you would leave one day, right?"

"Ah, yes, I will leave after things here are over." Luo Bai responded as if he had come to his senses.

"Will I have a chance to see you again in the future?"

"Of course, we will definitely meet again in the future. Maybe in a hundred years, or maybe a thousand years. Who knows?"

"But I'm only human. I can't live that long."

“It doesn’t matter, even if you become a ghost I can still find you in the underworld.

However, those who can stay in the underworld generally did some good things in their lives, so they can stay there. If they did too many bad things, they will go to hell and suffer. If they did a similar amount of good things as bad things, they will be arranged to reincarnate.

"What if I'm reincarnated then?"

"I can recognize Meihong even in my reincarnation."

"But I can't recognize Brother Luo Bai."

“Then let’s get to know each other again.

We are so connected, no matter how many times you reincarnate, you will definitely feel a sense of familiarity."

"Is it really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

"Well, I've been deceived many times. If it was Brother Luo Bai, I wouldn't be able to tell."

"...Meihong, you've learned bad things..."

Luo Bai shook his head slightly, sighed, then chuckled and continued chatting.

How could he not sense the changes in Meikou? He brought Meikou with him today specifically to help her get out of the shadow of Fujiwara no Fuhito, otherwise she would probably be restricted for the rest of her life.

Of course, he was also prepared. It was easy for him to make people forget something by simply adjusting their emotions. If Meihong failed, he would make Meihong's memory vague, and then gradually forget it, and wait until the next opportunity for Meihong to face it again.

If it really doesn't work out in the end, Luo Bai doesn't mind creating a more appropriate memory for Meihong to cover it up.

Fortunately, Meihong came out on her own, which will definitely give her the opportunity to make further progress in the future.

However, Meihong's personality seemed to have changed a bit after she came out.

emmm...Forget it, who cares, as long as he doesn’t grow up to be a bad person, his personality doesn’t matter.

......

A few days flew by.

That day, when Luo Bai was telling Meihong that Amaterasu was actually a beautiful white-haired girl, Ali arrived as promised.

"Hello, Mr. Luo, I'm ready."

Seeing the door open, Ali walked in after knocking a few times and saw Luo Bai explaining to Meihong that he did not lie.

"Ali? You're here just in time. Why don't you tell Meihong what Amaterasu is like?"

Luo Bai seemed not to have heard what Ali said, and instead asked Ali to help him explain.

Ali was not angry at all. He moved slightly to the side of the two people and said with a smile: "Amaterasu is said to be an extremely beautiful goddess, dignified and majestic. When she raised her hand, she was as dazzling as the sun. It is also said that the brilliance of her birth illuminated the heaven and earth, so she became Amaterasu.

However, no one knows what Amaterasu-sama looks like, and no one dares to describe her without authorization."

"Right? You don't know, but I have seen it, but you don't believe it." Luo Bai said a little depressed.

"But it's said that Amaterasu is a god from a previous era, at least thousands of years ago. Could it be that you're that old, Mr. Luo?"

"That... well, there really isn't one."

Even if the time he spent in the other two worlds is counted, plus the time he spent in Gensokyo, Luo Bai is not even a hundred years old, so it is naturally impossible to compare his age with Shenqi.

"Look, you yourself said you're not that old, so how could you have seen Amaterasu?"

Ali smiled lightly, then seemed to feel a little rude and straightened his expression slightly, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

Luo Bai held his forehead and sighed; "Ali, I asked you to help me, not to help Meihong."

"But you asked me to explain Amaterasu, and I just said what I remembered."

"Alright, alright, I'll show you around when I get a chance. You'll understand. Let's not talk about it now."

Luo Bai waved his hand and then looked at Meihong who was trying to hold back her laughter.

"Okay, Meihong, go back and laugh if you want to. What's coming next is not your place to get involved."

After hearing what Luo Bai said, Meihong restrained her smile a little, said goodbye to the two of them and left.

When Meihong's figure disappeared, Ali suddenly discovered that Luo Bai's temperament seemed to have changed.

"Mr. Luo, you..."

"Nothing, just a little fight.

How do you feel now? Are you still nervous?

Luo Bai looked at Ali, who had a confused expression, and spoke with a chuckle.

He had already sensed it when Ali walked near his courtyard, but after discovering Ali's mentality, he put on such a show to make her relax a little.

After a moment of hesitation, Ali understood what was going on.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo. I'm still a little nervous, but I'm much better now."

Ali showed a relieved expression and felt a little grateful in his heart.

"Just call me Bai, I also call you Ali, right?

Now that you feel better, let’s go.”

Luo Bai waved his hand, motioning Ali to come to his side.

Ali nodded slightly, stood beside Luo Bai, took a deep breath and looked at Luo Bai.

"Let's go, Bai."

As Ali finished speaking, the scene in front of him changed instantly in the blink of an eye.

It was a desolate land composed of gray and black, covered with large and small stones, with some reed-like plants growing on it, but just like the land, it was full of a sense of withering.

Ali blinked his eyes, his gaze dull. He looked at the land here, and then at the curious Luo Bai beside him.

She seemed to... underestimate Luo Bai.

Chapter 49: Discovering a lone Grim Reaper

What meets the eye is desolation, and the surroundings are extremely quiet.

The two of them followed the white unidentified objects that floated past them from time to time, and Ali unconsciously moved closer to Luo Bai.

"Are these white things the souls of dead people?"

Looking at the white creature floating past his body, Ali felt a little curious and a little scared.

It's not that she's afraid these things will hurt her, but rather it's out of the fear that humans have of these monsters engraved in their bodies.

Will they suddenly rush over and attach themselves to people? Will the possessed person still have his or her own consciousness?

All of the above reasons made Ali instinctively approach Luo Bai, who gave her a sense of security.
