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

"Blue, can I touch your ears?"

"Ok?"

Yakumo Ran looked up at Bai An, puzzled.

Bai An pointed to her ear and said:

"I've never touched a fox's ears before, can you grant me that wish?"

Hearing Bai An's words, Yakumo Ran reacted somewhat strangely, but still obediently squatted down.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with touching your ears.

Who knows, if this person is in a good mood, they might keep this a secret.

However, as those sinister claws touched her, Yakumo Ran finally realized something was wrong.

Why is it so comfortable?

A tingling, numb sensation spread throughout her body, making her feel weak and powerless, and the tip of her tail curled up slightly.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lord Bai, please stop..."

Ran Yakumo spoke with difficulty, and only when the other person stopped moving was she able to catch her breath.

She looked up and paused, noticing the black box in Bai An's hand.

"Lord Bai, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it, it's just a personal hobby."

Bai An put away the camera and said calmly.

Seeing his matter-of-fact attitude, Yakumo Ran suddenly had a bad feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Lan, would you like some fried tofu?"

Bai An suddenly asked a question, leaving Yakumo Ran momentarily confused.

"Fried tofu?"

She hesitated, saying she had never heard the word before.

The name sounds like it's made of tofu.

Seeing her dazed look, Bai An didn't explain further and took out the ingredients needed to make fried tofu from the gap.

She entered the kitchen with practiced ease.

Three servings of fried tofu were quickly prepared and placed on the table.

Looking at the golden tofu cubes, which smelled delicious, Yakumo Ran couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

It looks delicious, and the aroma is very tempting.

Yakumo Ran hesitated for a moment before picking up her chopsticks, taking a piece of food, and chewing it.

"Ugh—!"

Her pupils dilated instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still amazed when she tasted the tofu.

Tofu is refreshing and smooth, melting in your mouth; it's simple yet incredibly flavorful.

Two words.

tasty!

Seeing Yakumo Ran wolfing down her food as if she had opened the door to a new world, Bai An took out her camera again and snapped a picture.

This is a precious record of feeding foxes in the old days, and it must be preserved!

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious! This is the best thing I've ever eaten!"

Yakumo Ran praised it without reservation, saying that it was truly the most delicious thing she had ever eaten, far surpassing all the food she had ever tasted before.

Upon hearing her affirmative reply, Bai An immediately smiled and pushed the remaining two portions of fried tofu over.

"Eat more if you like it. I'll make it for you every week from now on."

"Oh? How can that be? It would be too much trouble for you, Lord Bai."

Yakumo Ran was flattered and shook her head in refusal.

She wouldn't dare ask him to cook for her every day!

"It's nothing, I'm usually free anyway, but there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Bai An smiled gently and spoke to Yakumo Ran in a consultative tone.

"Just tell me what it is, and I'll help you with it today!"

Yakumo Ran immediately patted her chest and promised that since Lord Haku had been so good to her, it was only right that she reciprocate.

"Can you just yell at Yakumo Yukari, 'You abusive old woman who sleeps in all day, I quit!'"

Yakumo Ran stared blankly at Bai An, her mouth half-open, and half a piece of fried tofu fell to the floor.

She blinked and asked tentatively:

"Lord Bai, were you joking just now?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Upon hearing Bai An's affirmative answer, Yakumo Ran silently pushed the remaining half of the fried tofu back in front of Bai An, chuckling awkwardly.

"Lord Bai, Lan suddenly doesn't want to eat fried tofu, so I won't trouble you."

"No way! I can't let you go without fried tofu, especially since you already promised me, Lan."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo Ran almost burst into tears.

Little did she know, this fried tofu was the very tofu that would cost her her life.

If you say that, you'll probably end up making a fox fur coat.

Seeing that she was still struggling, Bai An didn't give her a chance to speak and directly stuffed the remaining three pieces of fried tofu into her mouth, suffocating her.

Yakumo Ran, cheeks puffed out, chewed on tofu with a look of utter despair, two wide tears streaming down her face.

The delicious fried tofu had a strangely bitter taste.

"Lan, what do you want from us?"

Seeing Yakumo Ran standing there looking distracted, Yakumo Yukari walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Master Zi~"

Yakumo Ran looked up blankly at Yakumo Yukari.

Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were moist, as if she was about to cry, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

Even Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a nine-tailed fox demon.

Her cuteness-acting skills are better than anyone else's.

"Alright, stop using your charm. We're not those little demons, your magic won't be very effective against us."

Yukari Yakumo flicked her forehead to bring her back to normal.

As soon as I got back, Yakumo Ran pulled me into the yard, saying she had something important to tell me.

Half a day passed, and all that could be seen was her standing there blankly, hesitant to speak for a long time.

"Lord Zi, Lan has done something wrong. Will you forgive Lan later?"

Yakumo Ran lowered her head and kept rubbing the hem of her clothes, clearly feeling very uneasy.

"what's up?"

Seeing Yakumo Ran's worried expression, Yakumo Yukari became a little curious.

Lan is usually quite smart, yet she still makes mistakes sometimes.

"Lord Zi, please promise Lan that you won't be angry later."

Yakumo Ran raised her small face and stared intently at Yakumo Yukari.

Seeing her expression, Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but chuckle; she was asking her for a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Yukari Yakumo waved her hand and said magnanimously:

"Don't worry, just tell me what you want to say. We won't pursue the matter you're about to discuss."

Relieved by her master's assurance, Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but was still uneasy.

She bit her lip, mustered her courage, and said:

"You abusive old woman who sleeps in all day, I quit!"

She spoke very quickly, and immediately shut up after she finished speaking, lowering her head and not daring to look at Yakumo Yukari.

Yakumo Yukari was completely bewildered. When did she start abusing shikigami?

She's been busy building Gensokyo all this time.

There's no time to sleep in late, let alone abuse shikigami.

The beginning was fine, but then I heard the word "old woman".

Yakumo Yukari's face instantly darkened. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said through gritted teeth:

"Lan, you dare say that again? 'Old woman'? I'm a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl, and you call me an old woman?!"

Feeling the cold air coming from beside her, Yakumo Ran shivered, shaking her head vigorously.

"Lord Zi, Lan has her reasons, and besides, didn't you say you wouldn't pursue the matter, Lord Zi???"

Before she could finish speaking, Yakumo Yukari had already grabbed Yakumo Ran by the back of her collar and dragged her toward the stone table in the courtyard.

"Lord Purple, please listen to Blue's explanation... Waaah...!"
