Gensokyo, a Minecraft template, starting experience from plucking flower fields.

After taking a deep breath, Yakumo Ran gave an awkward smile.

"Excuse me, please continue. Don't worry about me. I'm going to another hot spring."

After saying that, she slowly retreated and closed the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, she immediately ran to the hot spring pool on the right, jumped in, and soaked herself in the hot water.

"Outrageous, utterly outrageous! Lord Haku wouldn't actually want to add Gensokyo to his harem, would he?"

She muttered something, and thinking about the scene just now, her cheeks turned bright red. She never expected that Komachi would not only come to Gensokyo, but also stay at Haku's place.

"At that time, Lady Zi will definitely push me out, won't she..."

"It seems...not bad..."

Yakumo Ran muttered to herself, her nine large golden tails swaying uncontrollably from side to side, representing her excited state of mind.

However, at that moment, an untimely voice rang out.

"Um... Lan, I'm still here..."

Upon hearing that familiar boy's voice, Yakumo Ran froze, her tail, which had been swaying from side to side, instantly stopped in place, and she dared not move an inch.

At that moment, her heart felt utterly cold.

"Lord Bai, what are you doing here?"

She tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled uncontrollably.

“I’ve been here for a while, but I was in the water the whole time. You jumped right in as soon as you arrived, and I didn’t have time to stop you.”

Bai An said regretfully.

He was soaking in the hot spring, enjoying complete comfort, when Yakumo Ran barged in and jumped into the hot spring pool without saying a word.

"Lord Bai... what I just said..."

Hearing her hesitant voice, Bai An immediately took over.

"No need to say anything, I understand. I didn't hear anything."

"Ah."

Her ears subtly flushed red, and Yakumo Ran responded sullenly, submerging half her face in the water and vigorously brushing her tail, trying to ease the awkwardness.

The atmosphere gradually settled over time.

As Yakumo Ran was about to take her leave, a gap suddenly opened without warning, and a sinful hand quietly reached out.

"Lord Bai, I'll go first—Waaah!"

Caught off guard, Yakumo Ran's beautiful face showed fear. She stood up abruptly, and even her water-soaked tail bristled.

The adorable, pitiful cries from this side naturally caught Bai An's attention, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

However, that glance left him stunned and rooted to the spot.

What catches the eye is a delicate collarbone, and the cleavage subtly revealed on her chest, endlessly alluring...

Yakumo Ran then realized what was happening and blinked her peach blossom eyes a few times.

Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned.

...........

"Bai An, what's wrong with Lan...?"

Komachi was shocked to see Yakumo Ran lying unconscious on the ground wrapped in a bath towel.

Why were the two in the same hot spring, and why did Lan faint? Bai An said it was because she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long that she lost consciousness.

But... but a nine-tailed fox demon who reached the level of a great demon a thousand years ago fainted while soaking in a hot spring?

That's just absurd no matter how you look at it.

"Master, here's the milk you wanted."

A flash of purple light appeared, and Mo Xiaohei appeared, holding a glass of milk, which he handed to Bai An.

Bai An glanced at her silently, took the milk, and brought the cup close to Yakumo Ran's lips.

Her cherry-red lips were forced open, letting the rim of the cup touch her soft lips as the warm milk slid into her mouth.

She woke up groggily, opening her blurry eyes.

"Ugh—what's wrong with me?"

"You just soaked in the hot spring for too long and fainted."

Yakumo Ran nodded absently.

"I'm sorry, Lord Bai, for causing you trouble."

She lowered her head, her face full of apology.

"It's okay, you're welcome."

Bai An waved his hand and asked again.

"Lan, what brings you here? I remember you said you were going to be busy for a while."

"Lord Haku, it's been over two months now, and I've finished my work long ago." Yakumo Ran was taken aback; it had been a long time since she last said those words.

"Two months?"

Bai An paused for a moment, then looked at Mo Xiaohei.

"Indeed, two months have passed since Miss Lan said those words."

Mo Xiaohei nodded seriously.

"Hiss??? I didn't even feel it, it feels like only a few days have passed."

Bai An touched his forehead, looking confused. Could it be that he had been cursed by time?

"Actually, it's probably because you spend all day in your room playing games with your online friends."

Mo Xiaohei analyzed it carefully.

"Lord Bai, you'd better get out more often. You can't be like that princess of Eien-tei, staying at home all day addicted to online games. It's very bad for your health."

Yakumo Ran gave a serious warning. Having witnessed firsthand how the princess of Eientei had transformed from noble and elegant to her current state, she was well aware of the dangers of internet addiction. Even Lady Eirin couldn't cure this "internet addiction virus," and she was genuinely worried that the same thing would happen to Lady Haku.

“Indeed, Master has been too addicted to online games lately,” Mo Xiaohei nodded in agreement.

However, the next second, he received another flick on the forehead from Bai An, and, clutching his smoking forehead, he squatted on the ground looking aggrieved.

"You even agreed with that? You have no right to say that here."

Bai An said with a stern face and an annoyed tone.

Every time he wanted to do something, Xiao Hei would seriously dissuade him, saying that he could do these things himself and that he should just enjoy himself.

He had no idea how long it had been since he last went down into the mine, or what the underground mines were like now.

"I'm sorry~"

Mo Xiaohei rubbed his flushed forehead, weakly uttered three words, and then obediently shut his mouth.

Watching the interaction between the two, Komachi scratched her head, feeling that Kuro seemed to be very happy.

After soaking in the hot springs, it's natural to have some snacks and drinks.

Mo Xiaohei had already arranged everything.

Yakumo Ran went back to her room to change her clothes. After all, the situation was too urgent, and Bai An couldn't possibly help her put on each piece of clothing, so she only wore a bath towel.

Once back in her room, her composure vanished instantly. She collapsed onto the bed, buried her face in the pillow, a hint of shame creeping up her ears as she bit her lower lip tightly.

She actually appeared completely naked in front of Lord Bai and even fainted.

This is utterly shameful, even outside of Gensokyo. How am I supposed to face Haku-sama now?

After she calmed herself downstairs, the others were already gathered together eating and drinking. She secretly glanced at Bai An and, seeing that he didn't seem to be acting strangely, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my, why is Lan so slow? Is she doing something bad?"

Upon seeing her, Yukari Yakumo chuckled softly, leaned lazily against the back of her chair, and teased her with a smile.

"Lord Zi, what nonsense are you spouting now!"

Yakumo Ran glared at her, picked up a pastry from the table, took a big bite, and chewed it with a vengeful expression, wishing she could swallow it as if it were some culprit.

If it weren't for Lord Zi, how could something like that have happened?

"But what's Suika doing here?"

Looking at Ibuki Suika sitting next to Bai An, Yakumo Ran was a little puzzled. It was one thing for Lady Yukari to be there while she was changing clothes, but why did Suika also come?

"Xiao Hei said that when he went to the wine cellar to get some wine, he saw this guy lying drunk in the wine cellar, so he brought him over."

Bai An slightly bent his knuckles and pressed down hard on her head.

"hiss--"

"It hurts!"

Ibuki Suika said with teary eyes, "Didn't you say I could come over for a drink anytime?"

She grumbled in dissatisfaction, however...

"Snap—"

Another sharp rap on the head, this time a bump appeared on her forehead, and she looked up with a mournful expression.

"But I didn't make you live in the wine cellar. Otherwise, if I saw that more than half of the wine in the cellar was gone, I wouldn't even know you had been staying there the whole time. What if I drank it all?"

Yakumo Ran watched Bai An and Ibuki Suika's interaction with a very strange look in her eyes.

She remembered that Ibuki Suika was the Oni King of the Oni Clan, so why did she have this feeling of being scolded by an elder for doing something wrong?

Moreover, the scene where Lord Bai, whose real age is unknown and whose appearance is not much older than Suika's, seriously reprimands the Demon King is truly a bit eerie.

After eating and drinking their fill, Yakumo Yukari and Yakumo Ran were the first to return home.

It's worth mentioning that at first, Yukari Yakumo stubbornly refused to leave, but in the end, Ran forcibly dragged her back.

Bai An glanced at the remaining group and chose massage over group night fishing.
