I have no regrets about my 2D world!

I don't want to be arrogant or domineering, I just want to get rid of this inferiority complex.

"I'm not like you who can't get money, so I naturally don't need anyone else to support me. Besides, being with you will only slow down my ability to make money. In that case, it's better for us to break up."

Nuyuan turned her head away and didn't look at Ziyuan.

"Why...why did it happen like this? I have tried my best to restrain myself. I have tried my best not to let the misfortune spread out. How can it still affect you, Nuyuan?" Ziyuan looked at Nuyuan in disbelief, with a begging look on her face.

"Well, can I stay a little further away from the Nvyuan? Please don't abandon me, okay?"

Nuyuan closed her eyes and remained silent, but when Ziyuan saw Nuyuan's appearance, her eyes gradually sparkled.

But at this moment, an inappropriate or timely voice sounded, breaking the weird atmosphere between the two.

"You two, what kind of performance art are you doing?" Luo Bai looked at them with some confusion.

If this scene were to happen in another place, with a different identity or gender, it could even become a moving story.

Originally, Luo Bai thought that the two were putting on a show or something, but when he found that no one around them was paying any attention to them, he dismissed this idea.

"What performance art? Nothing. Since you are here, everything should be ready, right?" Nu Yuan asked doubtfully, then turned her head to look at Luo Bai, feeling a little more relieved at the same time.

Seeing Ziyuan's look just now, she really couldn't bear to continue talking, but if she gave up right there, it would only make Ziyuan more determined to be wrong, which would make her feel even more inferior.

But if she continued talking, it was very likely that Shion would really do something irreparable because of her rejection.

No matter which kind of woman Yuan wanted to see, Luo Bai appeared in time.

"Of course I'm ready." Luo Bai nodded. "I found a village near where I live for you. With your abilities, it won't take you even half an hour to get there. This way, it will be convenient for you to contact me if anything happens."

"Really? Thank you so much. Let's take her away now." Nuyuan pointed at Ziyuan beside her and reached out to push Ziyuan towards Luo Bai.

Luo Bai glanced at them in surprise, and suddenly had some guesses in his mind.

The two had a conflict while he was away, and it looked like it was quite serious.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai shook his head slightly.

"No, no, I was talking about you two at the time. What would you do if she left?"

"Yes, Nuyuan, what will you do if I leave? Let's go together." Ziyuan echoed.

"I can live well on my own, but it will be much worse with her, so you just take her away, and it will be enough for me to live on my own." Nuyuan glanced at Ziyuan with disdain, and continued to talk to Luo Bai.

"Besides, it's much more convenient to support one person than two. You probably don't want to cause any more trouble, right?"

"That's true, but I'm only providing you with food and shelter. Everything else is up to you. You can take care of each other if you're together."

"Yes, Nvyuan, I can take care of you too."

"You'd better take care of yourself first!" Nuyuan glared at Ziyuan again, turned to look at Luo Bai, and wanted to say something, but saw Luo Bai's lips move slightly, and a special voice came into her ears.

Nu Yuan was silent for a moment, then her expression became serious.

"Okay, I'll go with her."

"Really, Nyuen? That's great."

Hearing Nuyuan's agreement, Ziyuan immediately wanted to go up and hug her, but Nuyuan blocked her with her hands.

"Don't hug me like that. If you don't feel ashamed, I do." Nu Yuan pushed Zi Yuan away, looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Then let's go back now and finish this quickly?"

Luo Bai chuckled.

"Don't worry, there's still some time before nightfall. Keep shopping. I can pay for your purchases."

"Really? Thank you so much." Ziyuan was not angry at all even though she was pushed away by Nuyuan. When she heard that Luo Bai was willing to pay for them, she immediately became happy.

Nu Yuan looked at Luo Bai silently, not knowing what he was planning.

"Okay, let's go shopping while we still have time. I also want to bring back some local specialties.

Gather here when the demon comes, and I will take you there."

Luo Bai waved at the two of them and went to other places where things were sold. This street didn't have what he wanted.

Watching Luo Bai leave, Nuyuan glanced at Ziyuan's expectant look beside her and sighed in her heart.

"Let's go. Since he's treating us, we can't waste this opportunity."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the jewelry store he had already set his eyes on, and Shion hurriedly followed.

Chapter 122 Sixty-six Masks

After separating from the Yishen sisters, Luo Bai walked straight to a grocery store, where he felt something interesting, perhaps related to someone he remembered.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

The grocery store was small and run by only one person. As soon as I walked into the store, the owner looked over.

"Do you have anything interesting here? Anything that can help people pass the time would be best."

Luo Bai observed the things placed around him and quickly found what he was looking for.

The shop is not big, but it has a lot of good things, including long swords, hanging copper coins, handicrafts from an unknown era, and some strangely shaped natural stones. It would be better to call it an antique shop rather than a grocery store.

"We have many things here to help you pass the time. Which one would you like, sir?"

The shop owner walked out of the counter and introduced the surrounding things to Luo Bai with a smile, and also talked about the origin of this store.

This is a shop passed down from his ancestors. It has always been in this place and has never been moved. The things inside are also very old. Even with the teachings of his parents, he does not understand their full value.

Occasionally, someone would come in and take a look, and might be interested in the things inside, but they would often leave quickly after hearing the prices.

There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just sell the things passed down from his ancestors at a low price, right?

Fortunately, since this place became the capital, there have been more rich people here, and occasionally wealthy people would come to patronize him. As long as they bought one or two things, it would be enough for him to eat and drink for several months or even years, and he would not starve to death because of no income due to not being able to sell anything.

However, ever since the rumors of a monster invasion some time ago, not many people have come to his shop, and even if someone comes, they don't buy anything.

That’s right, none.

And today, Luo Bai, who is obviously different from those ordinary people, came here, giving him hope for a meal ticket in the next few months or years.

It’s a pity that Luo Bai was not interested in most of the things he introduced.

Casually answering the shop owner's questions, Luo Bai walked to a wall where a string of masks were hanging.

"What are these things?" Luo Bai asked with interest.

Seeing Luo Bai's interested look, the shop owner also got a little excited. He had just acted as if he didn't care about anything, and he thought that this time it would be a failure. It seems that there is still a chance.

"Sir, are you interested in these masks? These things really have a history.

According to legend, in the Asuka period, there was a man named Qinhe Katsu, who was a famous Noh musician and a celebrity around Prince Shotoku.

On one occasion, Prince Shotoku gave something to Qinhe Katsumasa in recognition of his contribution to Noh.

These masks were also among the items given to Qin Hesheng at that time.

It can be said that these masks passed through the hands of Prince Shotoku and Qin Hesheng, and finally came to me, which is of great commemorative significance.

If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t really want to sell it.”

The shop owner looked at the masks on the wall, lowered his head and sighed, pretending to be helpless.

"Okay, boss, stop talking so much. There's no clear record of this kind of thing, so no one knows for sure, and the authenticity can't be guaranteed.

But apart from the other things, it just looks interesting. I can buy it back for my wife and let her dance with it.

Perhaps only one part of what the shop owner said was true, and that was that it was indeed a legend. However, he didn't care. These were just some small tricks to attract customers and were of no importance.

What's more, he is now certain that these giant masks are what he is looking for.

He had never seen Qin Hesheng and Prince Shengde, nor did he know their aura, but the number and styles of masks were the same as he knew.

There are exactly sixty-six pictures, representing various emotions.

Moreover, these masks have already developed a faint consciousness. If left for a period of time, they may have a physical form and become a kind of Tsukumogami.

He bought these to see what changes would happen, even if it wasn't the person he imagined.

Kaguya was idle at home all day, so she could find something for him to do. As the Princess of the Moon, she couldn't be so incapable of dancing, right?

The shop owner was not angry when Luo Bai exposed his lie. Luo Bai had already planned to buy it, so it didn't matter whether he exposed it or not. He just treated it as a story.

......

Walking down the street with a string of masks in his hands, Luo Bai tried to input magic power into the masks to speed up the birth of consciousness inside.

Because he had not studied how the Fusangshen was born, Luo Bai acted much more cautiously.

After a while, Luo Bai stopped inputting magic power and nodded with satisfaction.

Perhaps due to the unique nature of the energy within him, even the things needed by the Tsukumogami could be replenished from it. However, in just a short while, the consciousness within the mask grew considerably stronger.

After going back and doing it a few more times, maybe within a few months this consciousness will be fully awakened.

As for now, I still need to go buy some other things.

It's a rare opportunity to come here, so of course I have to take a good look around.

It was almost dusk, which was the time of the devil, and Luo Bai walked towards the place where he had agreed to meet with the Yishen sisters with empty hands.

As I walked, I thought about what to do next.

The reason why Nuyuan was able to stay was because Luo Bai secretly conveyed a message to her, saying that he was willing to help her change Ziyuan's personality.

But now there is a question that he is still unclear about, which is what Shion was like at the beginning.

If you have had this kind of personality from the beginning, it would be difficult to change after such a long time, but if you didn't have this kind of personality from the beginning, it would be much simpler.

If you want to change a personality that has been developed over a long period of time, you must go through a major change or undergo a long period of human control. However, if the personality change is caused by something, you only need to simply repeat that thing in front of Shion and make her make another choice.

Although this would be more stimulating for Shion, it was the fastest and most effective way without modifying her consciousness.

If it takes too long, I guess Nuyuan won't be willing.

While planning the next details in his mind, Luo Bai suddenly stopped and turned to look at the alley on the side.

After estimating the time, Luo Bai curled his lips and walked into the alley.

The devil's hour is about to arrive, adding some weird colors to this already dark alley, making it even more fascinating.

Luo Bai walked here calmly, waiting for the breath he felt to appear.

at last.

A big tongue fell from the sky and blocked Luo Bai's way, and at the same time a cute voice that was very inconsistent with it was heard.

"I hate it so much~!"

Chapter 123 Even a pervert is kind-hearted

The big tongue that suddenly appeared in front of him was only one step away from covering Luo Bai's face and washing his face, but Luo Bai did not feel panicked. Instead, he looked at the tongue in front of him and showed hesitation.

He raised his head slightly and looked at the figure floating above his head, which he thought was well hidden. After hesitating for a long time, Luo Bai finally reached out and pressed his hand on his tongue.

It feels soft and moist but without any excess moisture. If you feel it carefully, it seems to be trembling a little.

"I hate it so much~!"

The voice came from above his head again, but Luo Bai didn't want to look up again.

The owner of the voice was completely a girl, even a loli wouldn't be an exaggeration. Safety pants didn't exist in this era, and this loli was wearing a skirt.

It doesn't matter if you see panties by chance, but if you look at them on purpose, you will feel guilty.

But seeing that the loli above his head didn't seem to jump out on her own initiative, Luo Bai was not in a hurry. He just wanted to see what was going on with this tongue.

The tongue was as big as half his body, and was connected to a mouth on the Tang umbrella. There was a single eye above the mouth, which seemed to control the movement of the tongue.

A weak magical power entered the tongue, and the tongue suddenly trembled and retracted randomly and quickly.

And the loli on his head also fell in front of him.

She had short light blue hair that reached her shoulders and was wearing a skirt of the same color as her hair. In her hand, she was holding a Tang umbrella with a tongue that was used to scare people. Her red and blue eyes glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"So you're not human? You didn't tell me earlier, and I had to pretend for so long."

"You didn't realize it yourself and you blame me." Luo Bai shrugged.

"Okay, you really saw that I was a monster from the beginning."
