“Ran, I’m still so hot.”

“Young Master Bai, if you just let go of my tail, I’ll go get you another glass of iced juice.”

Yakumo Ran said tentatively.

Hearing her words, Bai Luo finally let go, allowing her to move her tail away from him, and then conjured a cool Slime pillow to replace the tail.

Yakumo Ran opened a gap, skillfully poured a glass of grape juice, and brought it to Bai Luo.

“Gulp, gulp—”

The cold juice slid down his throat, and Bai Luo immediately felt much cooler and more comfortable, the flush on his small face receding slightly.

Just as Yakumo Ran lay down, preparing to rest, Bai Luo stirred again.

Holding the Slime, he sat up half-asleep.

“Young Master Bai, why are you…”

Before Yakumo Ran could finish speaking, Bai Luo suddenly crawled over and sat on her waist.

“Ran, do you like me?”

His golden eyes were wet, as if covered with a layer of mist, looking exceptionally pure.

Yakumo Ran’s fox ears stood straight up, and even her tail was subtly fluffed. She felt the heat becoming more obvious, and a strange desire kept welling up in her heart.

Bewitchment Art.

Yakumo Ran recognized it at a glance.

If Young Master Bai were in his usual state, she would never refuse, but at this moment, he was clearly not sober.

His consciousness was blurry, his body was hot, his magic power fluctuated violently, and it even emitted magic power that could affect her.

Yakumo Ran already had a guess about this abnormal state of her Little Master.

“Ran, don’t you like me?”

His soft, childish tone carried a hint of grievance.

“Yes, Ran certainly likes Young Master Bai.”

Yakumo Ran quickly replied.

“Really?”

Bai Luo seemed very happy, the corners of his lips lifting slightly, his smile becoming even brighter.

“Mm-hmm.”

Yakumo Ran nodded repeatedly, “Can you let go of Ran first? Ran will go pour you some iced juice.”

“Okay.”

Bai Luo obediently agreed, letting go of her arm, but still sitting on her.

Yakumo Ran could only lie there, using a gap to receive a glass of iced juice and hand it over.

Bai Luo reached out and took it, tilting his head back and gulping down half the glass. The sweet coolness made him involuntarily narrow his eyes.

“Ran, do you want some too? There’s half a glass left.”

“Ran won’t…”

Yakumo Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the anticipation in his eyes, she nodded as if possessed.

“Okay.”

As the word left her mouth, Yakumo Ran immediately widened her eyes in frustration.

Why did she agree!

But the feeling of regret didn’t last too long. Looking at the grape juice residue on the glass wall, she swallowed.

It’s just drinking a glass of grape juice, nothing will happen.

She comforted herself this way.

Her peach-blossom eyes soon held only anticipation.

However, the next moment, under Yakumo Ran’s bewildered gaze, Bai Luo took the remaining iced grape juice in the glass into his mouth and then blocked her slightly open mouth.

“Mph…”

Caught off guard, Yakumo Ran was completely stunned.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

After more than ten seconds, the cool, sweet liquid was completely swallowed, and only then was Yakumo Ran finally able to breathe.

Gasping for air, Yakumo Ran felt her thoughts in chaos, her head buzzing, and her fox ears standing high.

Suddenly, a flash of crimson appeared in Bai Luo's eyes, then returned to clarity. With a thud, he fell straight onto her, eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Yakumo Ran was momentarily stunned. Realizing that Young Master Bai had fallen asleep, she immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness, nothing too bad happened.

She touched Bai Luo’s forehead and, finding no signs of fever, picked up the blanket again and covered him.

Out of the corner of her eye, Yakumo Ran saw the juice residue on his lips. As if possessed, she leaned down, and the moment she kissed him, her entire fox body trembled.

She returned to the Yakumo Residence.

She went straight to the bluestone table in the middle of the courtyard and sat down. The cold wind blowing on her face completely sobered her up.

“What have I done!”

“Bang, bang, bang—”

She kept hitting her head against the bluestone table. The hard surface instantly dented, and cracks appeared.

At the same time, this huge noise also startled a certain Yakumo who was deeply asleep in the house. Frightened, she quickly opened a gap and, upon seeing Yakumo Ran going crazy in the courtyard, she sighed with relief but her face couldn't help but darken.

“Ran! What are you doing in the middle of the night? I thought that Yuuka fellow came to blow up our Yakumo Residence in the middle of the night.”

Yakumo Ran’s body trembled. She raised her head and forced a smile:

“Sorry, Zi Daren, I had a problem during my cultivation, and I was trying to adjust just now.”

“Oh?”

Yakumo Yukari raised an eyebrow, looking at her suspiciously for a moment.

Yakumo Ran guiltily averted her gaze. She was, after all, a thousand-year-old nine-tailed Youkai. Making such a low-level mistake as a cultivation error was indeed too ridiculous.

With this explanation, it would be strange if Zi Daren wasn't suspicious.

Fortunately, Yakumo Yukari only glanced at her before closing the gap and continuing to sleep.

Seeing this, Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, slumped onto the stone stool, and looked at the sky, contemplating life.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

...

The next day.

Bai Luo sat by the window, propping his chin, staring blankly out the window. His childish face was filled with doubt about life.

“Great Sage, is what you said true? You’re not lying to me?”

【I’m not lying to you. This is what happened last night at the Hour of the Ox】

The Great Sage replied.

Bai Luo’s pair of golden eyes immediately lost their luster.

The memory of last night was still clear.

It was like having a hazy dream, his body acting on instinct, yet his consciousness was unusually clear.

Bai Luo pushed open the window, allowing the cold wind to rush into the room.

After an unknown amount of time.

He slammed his face into the Slime pillow with a thud, and a mournful voice came out.

“What have I done!”

Chapter Forty-Seven: Yagokoro Eirin: Breeding period? Let me try.

Bai Luo first arrived at Eientei, but instead of looking for Kaguya, he went straight to the pharmacy.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

He politely knocked three times. A faint, elegant voice came from inside the pharmacy—

“Come in.”

Bai Luo pushed the door open and entered.

Yagokoro Eirin was surprised to see that the visitor was not her disciple, but before she could ask for the reason, Bai Luo stated his purpose directly.

“Yagokoro Eirin, I have something I want to ask you for help with.”

“Ask me for help? Is there a problem with the memory potion?”

Yagokoro Eirin asked with a frown.

Bai Luo shook his head: “It’s not a problem with the memory potion, it’s… it’s me…”

He gritted his teeth, the words on the tip of his tongue but difficult to speak, which made Yagokoro Eirin even more confused.

“Yagokoro Eirin, do you know about the breeding period?”

Bai Luo finally mustered the courage to ask.

Yagokoro Eirin nodded and said slowly: “The breeding period is the stage when an organism reproduces and produces offspring, influenced by various factors. Even for Youkai, most will trigger it upon entering the growth period.”

As she said this, she seemed to realize something, her pupils suddenly widened, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Are you saying that you are currently in the breeding period?”

“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t be so loud!”

Bai Luo angrily slapped the table. He didn’t want anyone else to know about this, otherwise he would be laughed to death.

“Sorry, sorry.”

A hint of apology appeared in Yagokoro Eirin’s eyes, “I was just a little surprised by your situation, so are you here to find me to solve the breeding period problem?”

Bai Luo nodded helplessly, but still asked curiously: “Didn’t you say that Youkai will trigger the breeding period when they enter the growth period? What are you surprised about?”

“Generally speaking, that’s the case.”

Yagokoro Eirin’s gaze fell on Bai Luo, examining him carefully.

“But most Youkai, as long as their juvenile body is strong enough, can directly skip the breeding period stage.”

Hearing this, Bai Luo looked thoughtful.

Indeed, as Yagokoro Eirin said, under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t experience a breeding period.

“Then is there any way to directly skip the breeding period?”

Bai Luo asked, and as if remembering something, he quickly added: “Except for that method.”

Yagokoro Eirin raised an eyebrow. She naturally guessed what method Bai Luo was referring to.

Instead of directly answering Bai Luo’s question, she asked: “Why are you so sure it’s the breeding period? Is it possible that you’ve misjudged?”

“No, the Great Sage told me this, and yesterday’s experience also tells me that it is absolutely, absolutely the breeding period.”

“Great Sage? Are you referring to that skill of yours?”

Yagokoro Eirin asked, tapping her finger lightly on the table, “She is indeed very reliable. If it’s what your skill indicates, it’s likely not wrong.”

Despite this, Yagokoro Eirin still reached out and felt Bai Luo’s forehead, finding his magic power chaotic and accompanied by many characteristics of the breeding period.

After thinking for a moment, she said: “Can you tell me in detail what happened to you yesterday? The more specific, the better.”

“Do I have to say it…”
