I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"I did see that, and wasn't it you who asked me to come here?"

"I......"

Loli was choked, but couldn't refute.

As a monster that survives by absorbing human fear, she does know a few tricks to bewitch people.

Just now, Luo Bai happened to be walking alone, and it was also the time of demons, when the monsters began to become stronger, so she used some tricks to try to make the "human" Luo Bai come in, and then be scared by her and gain some fear.

But who knew that Luo Bai was not a human being, and he even came in and teased her.

Thinking of this, Loli glared at Luo Bai again.

"You guys, since you know I'm a monster, why don't you leave? You made me waste so much time, and you kept touching my tongue."

"Your tongue?" Luo Bai looked strange.

Could it be that the tongue on the umbrella is one with her?

"Yes, I am the Tang Umbrella Monster. This umbrella is my true form, so it must be my tongue."

Loli responded as a matter of course.

"So...how did it feel just now?" Luo Bai asked tentatively.

"Feeling, what feeling?"

"It's the feeling on your tongue just now."

"Hmm...it's itchy..." Loli raised her head slightly and recalled the feeling before, but as soon as she said it, she seemed to feel something was wrong.

Tightening the Tang umbrella in her hand, Loli took two steps back and looked at Luo Bai with a vigilant look.

"Are you a pervert?!"

"How is that possible? I was just curious and did what any normal person would do."

Luo Bai took a step forward and tried to explain.

"Look, suppose a very strange thing suddenly appeared in front of you, and it didn't pose any danger to you, would you want to study what it was?"

"This, seems to be going to..." Loli frowned slightly, thinking about Luo Bai's words.

"That's right, so this is just a very normal thing, it has no other meaning." Luo Bai took another step forward, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"By the way, since you are based on this Tang umbrella, it should be okay to call you Xiaosan."

"Of course I can. My name is Xiaosan anyway, it's just..." Xiaosan looked conflicted, still thinking about Luo Bai's words in her mind.

She clearly felt something was wrong just now, but after hearing a few words from Luo Bai, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with what happened just now.

Xiaoshan was a little confused, but Luo Bai didn't plan to wait for her to figure it out.

"Xiaosan, you are the god of mourning, right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?" Xiaosan looked up in surprise.

"Because anyone like you who is connected to something is a Tsukumogami, right? It's just common sense.

And if you are a Tsukumogami, you probably don't have a place to live right now, right?"

Luo Bai's tone was extremely certain, because in his impression, this was always the case with Fusangshen.

In this world, any object that has had an owner and is abandoned or left unattended for a hundred years will develop a spirit in that object. The spirit will then develop consciousness, possess a soul, and form itself from the object, but will not be separated from it.

Such beings are generally called Tsukumogami, or they can be called the real monsters.

Moreover, if there is no guidance after birth, it will act according to the situation when it was abandoned or placed.

For example, Xiaosan is actually an abandoned Tang umbrella. After turning into a Fusangshen, although he has no intention of harming people, he will often scare humans in order to gain the fear that the monster needs to survive.

"That's right..." Xiaosan was a little confused and didn't understand what Luo Bai wanted to say.

"Then how about coming with me? I'll find you a place to live, and I'll also find a way to help you gain more fear so that you'll never go hungry again." Luo Bai took another step forward and finally came in front of Xiaosan, stretching out his hand to her.

"I'll go with you...will you take me in?" Xiaosan was slightly stunned, with complex emotions appearing in her eyes.

As a Tsukumogami who was born out of abandonment, her wish is to be cared for by others and treated as a treasure.

Even though she has been a Fusangshen for such a long time, her wish has not changed. It is just temporarily buried because of the need to survive.

Now after hearing Luo Bai say this, I suddenly had more thoughts in my mind.

Is she also needed by others?

"Of course." Luo Bai smiled gently, "We seem to be destined to be together. Look, I'm so close to you, but you didn't shy away. Isn't that a sign of wanting to be close to me? You don't reject me in your heart."

Xiaoshan suddenly came to her senses and found that Luo Bai had come to her without her knowing when, and she didn't even take a step back.

Could it be that she is really close to Luo Bai in her heart?

Looking at Luo Bai's smiling face, Xiaosan raised her empty arm tremblingly, and her palm slowly fell into Luo Bai's hand.

"Well... then we have to make a deal. You have to promise to find me plenty of food and not let me go hungry."

"of course."

"I'll find a place for me to live."

"You can also find two gods to accompany you."

"I don't want any gods." Xiaosan muttered, raised her head and looked at Luo Bai seriously.

"Also, you must never abandon me, otherwise... otherwise I will be angry!"

"As long as you don't leave on your own initiative, Xiaosan, I will never abandon you."

Luo Bai smiled gently and held Xiaosan's hand tightly.

"I won't leave on my own initiative!" Xiaosan patted Luo Bai's hand dissatisfiedly, stayed where she was in silence for a moment, and suddenly hugged him.

After a while, Luo Bai felt a wet sensation on his chest. He gently patted Xiaosan's back with his palm and sighed slightly in his heart.

Tang Umbrella Monster, it has only been more than a hundred years since the Tang Umbrella was introduced into this country. Even according to the most extreme time, the small umbrella has only been born for a few decades.

There was even a long period of time when there was only consciousness but no physical existence.

For monsters, they have not even passed their infancy after decades, and their mental state is far from reaching the standard of maturity.

Xiaosan, the god of mourning, is even more pitiful. He has had the memory of being abandoned since he was born. He has never found anyone willing to take him in, but he has to consider his survival.

The little umbrella of the future looks very lively, but a thousand years have passed after all. No matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment there is, it will be smoothed out by time.

But no matter what Xiaosan will be like in the future, at least now she is just a homeless little girl.

Although the method was a bit despicable, Luo Bai didn't want to see her continue to wander. As for the promise made to Xiaosan, it was easy for Luo Bai to do, so he naturally wouldn't go against it.

After waiting for about half an hour, the demonic time was about to pass. Luo Bai put the sleeping Xiaosan on his back and walked towards the Yishen sisters who were still waiting for him.

Chapter 124: The Happy Life of a Country Girl

"Sorry, sorry, something happened and delayed me for some time." Before he came to the Yishen sisters, Luo Bai was the first to apologize.

I had originally calculated the time and it would not take long to deal with a monster, but I never expected to meet Xiaosan and be kidnapped, causing me to miss the agreed time.

Now looking at the sky, the golden clouds have retreated, and the bright moon is gradually rising. The two seem a little drowsy, so they must have been waiting for quite some time. In this case, it is not a big deal to apologize.

After hearing Luo Bai's apology, Nu Yuan, who was a little dissatisfied because of the long wait, felt much better. Just as she was about to ask Luo Bai why he was delayed for so long, she suddenly noticed the small umbrella on Luo Bai's back and her face turned strange.

"I thought you were delayed by something, but... I really can't tell."

"Forget it, let's put aside the jokes. If you want to hear about her later, I wouldn't mind telling you. It's getting late now, so let's deal with your business first."

Luo Bai shook his head helplessly. He could see that Nu Yuan was just complaining about the waiting time and didn't really have any thoughts about it.

Of course, it’s hard to say. They should be able to see that Xiaosan is a monster.

"It's okay as long as you still remember what happened between us." Nu Yuan muttered softly and did not continue the topic.

She didn't mind who Luo Bai brought with him, and even if Luo Bai really used bad means as she thought, it had nothing to do with her. At most, she would have less contact with Luo Bai in the future.

Compared to those things, what she wanted to know more now was the method that Luo Bai promised her to change Ziyuan's personality.

"It's getting late, so let's go back quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with any monsters later."

"Well, I didn't encounter any monsters or anything like that." Seeing that Nu Yuan didn't pursue the matter, Luo Bai chuckled.

Then, before Nu Yuan could understand what Luo Bai meant, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

The moonlit Heian-kyo has disappeared, replaced by warm houses filled with lights.

"Where is this..." Nuyuan looked around in surprise.

"How do you feel about the accommodation prepared for you?" Luo Bai walked to the sofa nearby and tried to put down the umbrella temporarily, but he gave up the idea when he felt his shoulders being held tightly.

Looking back, Nuyuan was still observing her surroundings, but Ziyuan, like him, had already come to the sofa and tentatively put her hand on it.

"Just sit down and relax. This place will be yours from now on. There are several bedrooms next to it. You can choose any one you like."

Luo Bai also expected the surprise of the Yishen sisters.

Originally this was just a wooden house, and everything inside was tattered. After he bought it, he renovated it.

The space inside has become larger, all the things have been replaced with new ones, and except for the lack of electrical appliances, all other layouts are in accordance with the standards of the technological era.

When it comes to enjoyment, there will be much more in the future than now.

Nuyuan looked around, then followed Luo Bai's instructions and sat on the opposite sofa. She also pulled Ziyuan to her side and sat together.

To be honest, she doesn't know how to face Luo Bai now.

Originally, she thought that Luo Bai's promise to provide them with shelter and food was just the same standard as that of ordinary families in this era, so he didn't care too much.

Because she could do that kind of thing, but she couldn't keep it up for long. She just thought that with Luo Bai's help, they would have a long-term and stable residence and wouldn't have to run around everywhere.

But the scene before her directly shattered her childish and short-sighted knowledge.

The cushion beneath her was so soft that she wanted to sink into it, the ground under her feet was smooth enough to be used as a mirror, and there were glowing stones around her that were illuminated by something unknown. Even though she often came into contact with wealthy people, she had never heard of these things.

After the initial surprise and joy, worry followed.

She would rather Luo Bai ask them for something so that they can accept it with peace of mind. Otherwise, even if they can accept it calmly after a long time, they will definitely not be able to feel at ease in the short term.

"Well, are these all for us?" Nu Yuan asked tentatively.

"Of course." Luo Bai nodded gently and smiled, "Don't worry, I made all of this myself. It didn't cost much, so don't worry too much. These are just daily necessities. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."

Electricity had not yet been invented in this era, so there was no need to install electrical appliances. Besides, the Yishen sisters had almost no other friends, so it was estimated that few people would come.

Those who can come must have a good relationship with them, so that even if they see these things that are outdated, it doesn’t matter.

There was no decoration in Suwako's place and the bamboo forest because they were used to the things of this era, and people would visit them frequently, so Luo Bai was not in a hurry to renovate them.

As for this place, in addition to the Yishen sisters, he can also come and stay here often, just to change his visual experience occasionally.

What's more, after meeting Xiaoshan, he also had other ideas. If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaoshan might stay here often in the future.

So he added a few more bedrooms to the original two as backup.

In short, even according to his feeling, there is no big problem here.

Nv Yuan on the opposite side was slightly relieved to see that Luo Bai didn't care. She was really worried that the arrangement here would take a lot of effort from Luo Bai, and if Luo Bai didn't ask for any compensation, she would feel embarrassed to live here.

"Well...thank you very much." Nuyuan lowered her head slightly, and her voice was so weak that even Ziyuan beside her couldn't hear it clearly.

Of course, Shion was still immersed in this residence which was like a paradise to her, and she didn't pay any attention to Nuyuan's actions.

However, even though Nu Yuan deliberately avoided Luo Bai's sight and lowered her voice, she still couldn't escape Luo Bai's ears.

"Nuyuan, what did you say just now?" Luo Bai looked puzzled.

Nuyuan suddenly looked up and said, "No, I didn't say anything, I was just... just thinking..." Nuyuan glanced at Ziyuan beside her and felt a little relieved.

I didn't expect Luo Bai's ears to be so sensitive that he could hear such a small sound. Fortunately, Ziyuan was here to help her change the subject.

It’s not that she didn’t want Luo Bai to know her gratitude, but with Ziyuan beside her, she always felt it was a little difficult to say thank you.

Luo Bai didn't care and glanced at Ziyuan in the same way.

"There's no rush for that. It's already late today. You should take a rest first. I'll come find you tomorrow."

As he spoke, Luo Bai stood up, with the small umbrella still hanging safely on his back.

He blocked out the sounds around him and it did not affect Xiaosan's sleep.
