I have no regrets about my 2D world!
Page 178
"Princess Kaguya, just ask. We won't refuse."
"In that case, I am being rude."
"I have also asked Prince Shizu to bring this stone bowl used by the True Buddha of India for me as a blessing.
There is a Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea. On the mountain there is a tree with roots of silver and a trunk of gold. I would like to ask Prince Che Chi to break off a branch for me as a jewelry.
The Tang Kingdom in the west has a treasure called Fire Rat Fur, which is immune to all kinds of fire in the world. I ask the Right Minister to get it for me as protection.
There is a monster in the world that looks like a dragon. There is a precious jade on its neck. I would like to ask the Grand Minister to get it for me as a wish-fulfilling talisman.
As for you, Lord Chu-nagon, when swallows build their nests, there will be a Koan shell. Please get it for me as a perfect gift.
These are my five questions. Anyone who can complete them may come to me to fulfill my promise."
After Kaguya finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"I wonder if everything Kaguya-hime said exists in the world?" the Grand Councilor asked in a dry voice.
Others' were fine, as they had a general direction, but he had never even seen what a dragon was, which made him doubt the authenticity of these things.
"Don't worry, Grand Minister, everything I said is true."
Kaguya remained calm. She was asking him this question to make things difficult for him. After all, he was the oldest person present and looked almost like Zoumaro, yet he still wanted to marry her.
"Well, I will do my best to find her for Princess Kaguya." The Grand Minister said gritting his teeth, then turned and left, forgetting even to say goodbye.
"I wonder if there is a time limit?" Fujiwara no Fuhito asked.
Apart from the Grand Minister, his position is the most difficult.
There is only a rough direction. How long will it take him to find it? He can't spend the rest of his time looking for it. It would be better to give him a time limit so that he can give up if he doesn't finish it by then.
"Of course there are. Because there may be unexpected events during the search, I will give you three years."
Speaking of which, Kaguya was quite surprised when she learned that Fujiwara Fuhito was Moekou's father. Later, after carefully asking Moekou, she also learned about Moekou's mother.
Originally, the most difficult Dragon Head Jade should have been given to him, but unable to resist Meihong's pleading, saying that no matter what, Fujiwara no Fuhito was still his father and she couldn't just watch him die, Kaguya had to lower the difficulty.
"Thank you Kaguya-sama for your understanding. Three years is enough time. I will prepare now." Fujiwara no Fuhito stood up and said goodbye.
Three years was just right for him. He had not yet completely reached old age, so it was not too late to succeed or give up.
Since the two most difficult ones have already accepted it, the other three have nothing to say. Even the Chunagon was a little excited. In his opinion, his problem was already the simplest. Doesn't this also mean that Kaguya is partial to him?
After everyone said goodbye one by one, Kaguya collapsed back into the recliner.
These people have been sent away, and she needs to think carefully about how to spend the rest of her time in an interesting way.
Chapter 61 Brain Teasers
"So Kaguya, are you so confident that they can't find it?"
Seeing Kaguya lying there fiddling with her phone, Luo Bai became a little curious.
After all, these things exist in the world. Except for the Penglai Jade Branch and the Dragon Head Jade, which are almost impossible to find within three years, the other types may be found before the time comes if you are really willing to spend the effort to find them.
"I'm not only sure that they can't find it, I'm also sure that even if they know they can't get it." Kaguya said without turning her head.
"Prince Shizuo has never even left this country, so how could he be willing to go to India to retrieve the stone bowl? A treasure like the Fire Rat Fur is rare in the entire world for humans, so how could he be willing to give it to someone from such a small country?
As for the Swallow's Anbei, it is extremely unlikely to appear in a swallow's nest. A great figure like the Chu-na-gun probably doesn't even know when the swallows build their nests."
She didn't ask these questions without knowing anything, but chose these five questions after detailed investigation.
Originally, she wanted to come up with something about monsters, but she was afraid that people would say she wanted to harm them, so she had to give up.
"By the way, why are some things on this phone not working?" Kaguya picked up the phone and put it in front of Luo Bai.
"Because there is no network connection." The big words "Unable to connect to the network" on the screen are enough to raise one's blood pressure, especially when searching for resources.
Of course there is another one, 'The resource you are trying to access no longer exists.'
"What is the Internet and how can I connect to it?"
"The internet is just... forget it. Anyway, it's not something from this era. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to use it. Otherwise, why do you think I wouldn't use it?"
Luo Bai was about to explain to Kaguya, but then he realized that the explanation was of no use now, so he simply gave up.
If he could connect to the Internet in other worlds, why would he have to hold a book in his arms and read it every day? It would be more convenient to just browse the Internet quickly instead of flipping through the pages one by one.
Anyway, he doesn't care about the truth or falsehood, he just wants to know more.
"Not from this era, right? Come to think of it, those books you gave me aren't from this era either. If you convert the years in them, they should be from the future. Could it be that you came back from the future?"
Kaguya blinked, curiosity instantly aroused.
Who doesn’t want to know what their future self will be like, better or worse, and what they have done?
The unknown makes people curious, especially when it is one's own.
"It can be considered as coming back from the future."
It’s just that I haven’t seen Kaguya yet.
"Then do you know what I did in the future? Did I return to Yuedu, or go somewhere else?"
"You didn't go anywhere. You stayed down here obediently to take care of your husband and children." Luo Bai raised the corners of his mouth and said without hesitation.
"Stop it, I can't do such a thing." Kaguya naturally didn't believe it. After all, a wife should have a husband and children. How could she do such a thing when she was not even married?
What's more, looking at Luo Bai's cunning smile, she naturally didn't believe it at all.
"I'm not lying to you. Imagine the current situation in Yuedu. If you were given a chance to stay, would you be willing to go back?"
"this..."
Kaguya was silent. She knew the situation in Yuedu better than anyone else. After all, she came from there. Apart from Eirin, who made her more concerned, she would not feel anything even if something happened to the others.
If Yonglin was willing to stay with her, she probably wouldn't object.
So what Luo Bai said was true? She really...
wrong!
It was possible for her to stay, but as for taking care of her husband and children, that was nonsense. Luo Bai's answer was only half the answer.
Thinking of this, Kaguya suddenly laughed.
"Since you've said that, and I have no way to prove you're lying, could you please tell me who the husband in the story of a wife raising children is? Anyway, the future has already been decided, so telling me in advance won't change anything, right?"
First, exclude those five people. Even if they successfully completed the problem, she would not marry them. Secondly, exclude those guys from Yuedu, because Luo Bai also said that she would stay on the ground, and the other people from Yuedu would definitely not come down.
After ruling out these two things, the only man left on the ground whom she knew was Luo Bai, who was still smiling in front of her.
So, will you admit it?
Kaguya looked over and saw that Luo Bai, who was smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression and sighed helplessly.
"Originally, I didn't want to tell anyone, but since you asked, Kaguya, I feel uncomfortable hiding it any further."
Kaguya narrowed her eyes and smiled, remaining silent.
"That's right, that husband is me. Kaguya, you'll stay here because of me."
After he finished speaking, Luo Bai stared at Kaguya, trying to see something in her eyes, but unfortunately Kaguya's expression remained unchanged.
You are fooling around, keep on fooling around.
"I know you definitely don't believe it, Kaguya. I have no other options. After all, the only one who can testify for me is Meihong. But with your relationship, you probably won't believe it either."
"What does this have to do with Meihong?" Kaguya looked puzzled.
"Did it seem like I didn't know you when we first met?"
"When we first met, do you mean when I first came out?"
"Yes, I already knew you at that time. Otherwise, do you think a normal person would not try to test your thoughts after hearing about your existence? Do you see that I did it?"
"Indeed, no...So you wanted to see me cry on purpose at that time?" Kaguya's face suddenly darkened.
If Luo Bai already knew her at that time, that meeting and what he did afterwards would not be accidental.
"Don't worry about it. Look, from the time you came to the surface, except for a few days when I was busy with other things and didn't look for you, there has never been a day when I didn't look for you.
If I really didn't care about you, would I go to see you?"
Luo Bai looked serious and spoke nonsense solemnly.
"Then what does this have to do with Meihong as evidence?" Kaguya's heart suddenly wavered.
With Luo Bai's strength, if he didn't really care about someone, he probably wouldn't even look at them twice. In her memory, it was indeed the first time they met, but Luo Bai was so caring.
If Yonglin came later, it could be said that a deal was made with Yonglin, but before Yonglin came, Luo Bai had always been acting independently.
If I didn't know her in advance, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Look, I've known Meihong for such a long time, and you should know what kind of person she is, so have you ever seen or heard me do anything to her like you did?
Meihong comes to my place every day to read books and chat. Isn't it enough evidence that I didn't do anything?"
It seems...that's really the case.
Kaguya thought carefully about what had happened during this period, and it was true that Luo Bai had only ever spoken sweet words to her.
She also chatted with Meihong and asked her how she felt about Luo Bai.
Meihong's answer was that she felt Luo Bai was very polite, very kind to him, and very gentle. Of course, she didn't even realize for a moment that this was a description of Luo Bai.
Now after hearing what Luo Bai said, other thoughts inevitably emerged in Kaguya's mind.
Could it be that Luo Bai only reveals his true personality in front of his "own people" and is pretending the rest of the time? And she just happens to be one of his "own people", so she gets this special treatment?
Otherwise, Luo Bai couldn't treat other people the same way towards her, otherwise he would probably be considered a psychopath.
So, is what he said true? Will they really be together in the future? That shouldn't be the case. At least now, she doesn't have any feelings for Luo Bai. Or will something special happen in the future?
Kaguya couldn't help but fall into thought.
"Oh, Kaguya, think about it carefully. I'm going out to do something first and won't disturb you." Luo Bai shook his head, sighed, and stood up.
Kaguya hummed to show that she understood.
Then Luo Bai didn't stop and walked towards the door, but as soon as he walked out the door, he put on his smile again.
After this cross-era PUA with information gap, Kaguya will have to think for a while. As for the final result...
If Kaguya has thought it through and wants to seek revenge on him, then it's not a problem for him to let Kaguya take revenge once. After all, he can't keep bullying her, right? At least he can give her some sweet treat so that she can continue to play with him next time.
If he couldn't figure it out, then he naturally wouldn't mind having multiple beautiful young wives, even though Kaguya might be older than him.
But for now, we have to put Kaguya’s matter aside. What happens next may not be much different.
Luo Bai looked at the person who had been waiting for a long time and chuckled, "Let's go."
Chapter 62: Blatant Conspiracy
He followed a servant all the way to Fujiwara's mansion, and was then taken directly into the reception room, where he met Fujiwara no Fuhito, who had been sitting there waiting for some time.
"Long time no see, Lord Fujiwara. Why did you invite me here today?" Luo Bai sat down opposite Fujiwara no Fuhito and asked.
"I have no special purpose in inviting Mr. Luo here today. I just want to know something about Meihong out of concern for my child as a father. I wonder if Mr. Luo would be able to tell me?" Fujiwara no Fuhito smiled and handed Luo Bai a cup of tea.
Luo Bai reached out and took it. "Since it's out of concern for Meihong, then I naturally have no reason to refuse, right? What does Lord Fujiwara want to know?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Luo. I'd like to know what Meihong has learned from Mr. Luo recently."
"What did I learn..." Luo Bai pondered for a moment, glancing at the room beside him. "There are historical books, myths, and humanities books. Meihong is very talented, so I only need a little explanation to understand."
Although she understood it, it did not prevent Meihong from having a disagreement with him about Shenqi's appearance.
"Mr. Luo is too modest. Even if Meihong is very smart, she still needs you to explain it to her." Fujiwara no Fuhito laughed and glanced at the room next door.
"However, history, mythology, and humanities all have their ends. Has Mr. Luo ever considered teaching Meihong something else in the future?"
More than a month had passed, and the people he had sent to the Tang Dynasty to investigate Luo Bai's identity had returned. The news they had received was both unexpected and reasonable.
He had guessed that Luo Bai's identity was very extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he had reached the level of an immortal. It was also said that he was engaged to a princess. He just didn't know where the princess was now. Maybe Luo Bai should know.
However, he couldn't bring up this matter on his own initiative. Firstly, it was inappropriate to conduct a private investigation. Although he didn't know whether Luo Bai knew about it, he absolutely couldn't bring it up on his own initiative. Secondly, his next purpose was more or less related to this matter, so he naturally wouldn't bring it up.
"I haven't thought about this yet. After all, I will leave when the thing I came here to do is finished, but I can't be sure when it will end." Luo Bai shook his head at Fujiwara Fuhito.
When all five of them failed, the matter would naturally end.
