"I'm sorry."

Flandre bowed apologetically. Just as Remilia's expression softened slightly, Flandre walked up to Bai Luo, took out some small snacks, and flapped her wings, wanting to feed them to him.

"Cough, cough."

Remilia coughed twice again, adopting a dignified posture once more. However, before she could speak this time, Sakuya Izayoi's voice came through—

"Mistress, it's getting late, it's time for bed. Today, we have your favorite strawberry-flavored black tea."

Chapter 73: Tewi? Aren't you the same generation as Yagokoro Eirin?

Si Gu Jian Zi looked at the almost tearful Remilia on the throne, her expression quite subtle.

Even on the way here.

She had guessed from Bai Luo and the others' conversation that the target for the red envelopes this time looked very young.

But she thought her appearance age was at most similar to Kaguya's, and never expected it to be about the same as Bai Luo's.

In the end, Remilia, with "dignity" as an elder, gave everyone the red envelopes she had prepared earlier—

An exquisite small gift box.

Two golden bats were carved on the top of the gift box, and even the eight characters "Happy New Year, All Wishes Fulfilled" embroidered on it were made of gold thread.

The entire gift box sparkled with gold, fully demonstrating the Scarlet Devil Mansion's wealth and power.

Everyone showed curious expressions, especially Reimu, whose hands trembled with excitement as she opened the lid.

Inside the gift box.

A pure gold pen, a spell card, and a heavy gold bar engraved with "24k."

"It's a gold bar!"

Reimu was so excited she almost jumped up. Sure enough, following Bai Luo was the correct choice.

First gold bills, and now such a thick gold bar.

It's a huge profit!

Besides Reimu, Youmu also seemed unusually excited. When it came to lack of money, she was even more so than Reimu.

Although supported by the two wealthy individuals, Yakumo Yukari and Komachi, Hakugyokurou often fell into difficulties in front of Yuyuko, a ghost comparable to a "Taotie."

Youmu originally thought that after Young Master Bai Luo devoured Saigyou Ayakashi, Yuyuko-sama would no longer need energy to maintain the seal, and the situation would improve.

But obviously, she thought too much.

Even without the saigyou ayakashi tree, Yuyuko-sama's "Abyssal Maw" did not disappear, and life was still difficult.

At this moment, Youmu felt that this trip was truly a wise move.

Even if there were no further gains, with just the two stacks of gold bills and this 24k gold bar she had already obtained, she could live comfortably this month.

If she also managed Yuyuko-sama well and planned reasonably, this money could last for several months without issue.

Next to her, Inaba Tewi saw the four large characters "Life is Promising" seemingly appearing above Youmu's head, and her eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

As the leader of the rabbits, possessing the wealth of the entire rabbit population, she truly didn't understand why these two were so obsessed with gold.

After giving their blessings and receiving their gifts, everyone left the Scarlet Devil Mansion and headed to the Terakoya.

Today was a weekend holiday, so only Keine was at the Terakoya.

Bai Luo gave his blessings as usual, and Keine had also prepared gifts, which she distributed to everyone one by one.

Keine's gifts did not include gold bills.

Instead, they were spell cards and a copy of the "Fantasy Land Guide" she had recently compiled.

The book detailed the history of Fantasy Land's development, hidden benefits of the Human Village, the general situation of various forces, and the division of dangerous areas, among other things.

Bai Luo glanced at it roughly.

The Yakumo Residence and the Sunflower Field were both recorded, with a high degree of danger, suggesting not to approach them unnecessarily if possible.

Flipping to the back, Bai Luo also saw his Happy Hut, with a low degree of danger, but warned not to provoke its owner, otherwise no one could save you.

If anyone was most satisfied with this gift, it was Si Gu Jian Zi. For her, it was like receiving charcoal in snowy weather. It not only allowed her to understand Kazami Yuuka's personality better but also gave her a comprehensive understanding of Fantasy Land.

"Keine, where is Meihong?"

Bai Luo suddenly thought of Fujiwara no Mokou and asked.

"There's nothing much for the security team today, perhaps she's at home at this time."

"Hmph, she's at home and still doesn't come to ask me for a red envelope."

Bai Luo snorted coldly. Meihong had come over yesterday. He originally thought she was going to stay for a night, but who would have thought she came to break off the engagement, bah...

She came to reject him.

She didn't state the reason, and after saying that, she left in a hurry.

Speak of the devil, Fujiwara no Mokou's voice came from outside the door: "Keine, are you inside? I'm here to find you..."

Before she finished speaking, her voice abruptly stopped, and her footsteps also halted.

"You guys are..."

Fujiwara no Mokou saw the group of people in the Terakoya, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"They're here with me to ask for red envelopes."

Hearing Bai Luo's voice, Fujiwara no Mokou's body stiffened, especially when she heard the latter sentence and saw Bai Luo's resentful gaze, she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"You have time to find Keine to eat, you're so free, yet you're unwilling to ask for red envelopes with me."

"I'm sorry."

Fujiwara no Mokou apologized decisively. Seeing Bai Luo's expression soften a little, she explained: "Because I felt it wasn't appropriate to join your group, I planned to give you red envelopes with Keine."

Saying that, she took out a gold bar and a spell card.

Although Bai Luo was a little unhappy, he didn't make things difficult for her anymore, accepting the gift and giving his blessing.

Everyone stepped forward to receive their gifts, and Fujiwara no Mokou distributed them one by one. However, upon seeing Kaguya's figure, she was momentarily stunned.

"You shut-in, why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm here with Bai Luo to ask for red envelopes."

Kaguya said it as a matter of course, directly snatching the red envelope from Meihong's hand.

Hearing this, Meihong's molars ground together. If Bai Luo and the others weren't there, she would definitely have sent a fiery punch down.

"Kaguya is still young, a little princess."

Kaguya seemed to see through Meihong's thoughts, lifted the hem of her princess dress, and smiled with narrowed eyes. After speaking, she didn't wait for Meihong to retort and ran back behind Bai Luo, making Meihong's teeth tremble with anger.

Meihong continued to distribute red envelopes. Seeing Inaba Tewi step forward and extend her hand towards her, she couldn't help but be taken aback and subconsciously asked—

"Tewi? Shouldn't you be the same generation as Yagokoro Eirin?"

Inaba Tewi's extended hand stiffened, and her rabbit ears drooped.

Bai Luo and everyone else cast their gazes, looking confused. Only Kaguya wore a gloating expression.

Little old Tewi...

The same generation as Yagokoro Eirin?

Bai Luo frowned, wondering if he had misheard.

【Notification. Inaba Tewi's specific age has not been recorded, she is a character who existed before the origin of Fantasy Land, at least 1200 years old】

The Great Sage explained diligently.

At least 1200 years old?

Bai Luo was stunned for a moment, sizing up the loli-like Inaba Tewi in front of him.

Regardless of her appearance or personality, she didn't look like a BBA like Yakumo Yukari at all.

Is she that good at maintaining herself?

"It's a long-lost memory, Kaguya remembers when she first came to Fantasy Land, Eientei was Little Old Tewi's territory, and at that time, Little Old Tewi was already over a thousand years old."

Kaguya sighed.

Before Eientei was built?

Over a thousand years old?

Everyone's bewildered minds gradually gained a clear understanding.

Inaba Tewi glared at Kaguya with dissatisfaction, not expecting her to backstab her.

Curious and subtle gazes were cast upon her one after another, and even Inaba Tewi couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry."

Seeing this situation, Meihong knew she had said the wrong thing and quickly handed over the gift.

Inaba Tewi's eyes were sad, and she was pondering whether to slip away when a pair of hands rested on her shoulders.

"It's okay, for long-lived species, one or two thousand years isn't old, as long as your heart doesn't age, isn't that enough?"

Chapter 74: A-San, Happy New Year!

Youkai Mountain, Hakugyokurou, Hakurei Shrine...

Bai Luo took everyone to visit each place to give New Year greetings and ask for red envelopes, finally arriving at the Sunflower Field.

Except for Bai Luo.

Everyone else seemed quite nervous. This was the Sunflower Field, the territory of the Flower Tyrant.

Si Gu Jian Zi stared at the vast, boundless golden sea of flowers before her, her mouth wide open in a daze.

Each sunflower was at least as tall as a person, and the deeper they went, the larger the sunflowers became, as if they possessed spirituality. As they passed by, the vines that extended into the middle of the path would automatically retract, trying their best not to block them.

Although Si Gu Jian Zi had already seen the introduction of the Sunflower Field in the "Fantasy Land Guide" given by Teacher Keine just now, seeing it in person still made her extremely shocked.

The further she walked in, the more nervous Si Gu Jian Zi became, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, fine beads of sweat appearing on her palms.

Bai Luo led everyone to the Dream House with familiarity, and a cold and stunning figure came into everyone's view.

Kazami Yuuka stood in front of a giant sunflower, holding a parasol.

A gentle breeze brushed through her翠绿 hair, and her stunningly beautiful face carried a chill that could make people shudder.

"A-San!"

Bai Luo called out.

Kazami Yuuka turned her head upon hearing the sound, and her originally indifferent and cold face softened a few degrees.

"They are...?"

Kazami Yuuka looked at the group of people behind Bai Luo in surprise.

"We're here to give you New Year greetings."

Bai Luo explained with a smile: "In my hometown, there's a custom where, during the New Year, younger people can ask for red envelopes, which are gifts, from older 'elders'."

Since he wanted to give Kazami Yuuka a surprise, he didn't inform her in advance.

Hearing this, Kazami Yuuka helplessly pinched his cheek, as if blaming him for not telling her beforehand.

"What gifts do you want? I'll go get them for you."

"Me? Anything is fine for me. Generally, red envelopes are in the form of pocket money, but Zi Ma and the others gave spell cards and the like."

Bai Luo said, rubbing his chin, and turned to ask everyone.

"How about you? Are there any gifts you want?"

Seeing Kazami Yuuka's gaze fall on them, everyone shook their heads repeatedly.
