I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 170 Heirloom Fox

"If I can get your help, even if the situation is not optimistic, I, as the eldest daughter of the Jinguji family, will remember your kindness."

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami made the promise in a cool voice, with a serious look on her pretty face. This was a vow made by a practitioner.

This promise doesn't mean much to the big monsters who like to stay in the mountains, but it will be very useful if there are big monsters who want to integrate into human society.

The several big monsters present knew that Dong Ye Yu was going to be a worldly person, so they didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.

They came here to see justice and help Li Township to kill the demon, not for the money or any favors.

Just thirty cents. Which big monster here is short of this little money?
Who would care about a favor from a mere demon hunter?

I came across three young demon hunters by chance and saved them, just for the sake of Higashino Yu.

If it weren't for Dongye Yu, the big monsters would not have taken the initiative to kill these demon hunters, but would have driven them out of here.

The so-called promises are actually worthless in their eyes.

I am a wild monster. What can the worldly world do to me?
What's more, who among those who have cultivated to the stage of a great monster doesn't have some grudges and entanglements with the demon exorcist?

Qilang, who had been silent all this time, stared at Dong Yeyu and said in a deep voice: "Exorcists always betray their promises. You can't trust them."

Dongye Yu turned his head to look at him. Qilang had an ordinary appearance, with a long face, many scars on his eyebrows, and brown eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water with fallen leaves, and his expression was always gloomy.

He is obviously different from the several big monsters around him who are determined to practice. He seems to have lost the meaning of his practice and is just living like this.

He was dressed like a wretch, barefoot, and his samurai uniform had no haori and was patched up, with the family crest having been washed so much that it was no longer visible.

However, she was dressed very neatly, with her hair combed into a bun and tied with a small rope, without a single strand of messy hair sticking out. She was scented with something unknown, and even Dong Ye Yu could not smell it.

Therefore, I still don’t know what his original form is, but seeing how he is so resistant to the demon exorcist, he must be a big monster with a story.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami lowered his brows and did not explain, but Kaori and Shiori became anxious, fearing that the big fox would be persuaded by this ronin monster, so they knelt beside the big fox and refuted in a crisp voice.

"The Jinguji family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years and has never betrayed anyone. How can you use the evil deeds done by other demon hunters to doubt us?"

Shichiro snorted coldly and disdained to answer. Badger Chiyo sat cross-legged on the futon with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and rolled his eyes.

"What do you two yellow-haired girls know? Your master is going to tell you about killing other monsters? Or are your shikigami willing to be slaves and captured by your master's so-called personality charm?"

"If monsters are cunning, then humans are ghosts. Not only are they cunning, but they also eat monsters."

After saying this, he found that Shu, who was looking at the broken wooden door of the shrine, turned his head to look at him. His green-faced and fanged face was full of questions. Badger Chiyo smiled awkwardly: "I'm not talking about you, Shu."

"you you"

What you said makes a lot of sense.

Kaori and Shiori didn't know how to object. Their porcelain-white faces turned red with anger. They pulled Jinguji Hiiragi's sleeve and said, "Sister, please say something!"

If you don't say anything, A Yu will be taken away by the monster.

Jinguji Hiiragi glared at them, then bowed his head slightly and said, "My sister's words were offensive. I apologize to you on their behalf."

"Ms. Kaori, Ms. Shiori, this is not in the mortal world."

Dong Ye Yu said meaningfully.

Everyone present is a monster. As a monster exorcist, if you still want to ask for help, then don't worry too much and just go with whatever they say.

Kaori and Shiori looked slightly stunned, pursed their lips, and were sitting and bowing to apologize. Just looking at their expressions, they probably felt that their family name had been insulted and they were still upset.

This is normal. It is rude to scold the father in front of the son, let alone pointing at the entire family and saying that your family is treacherous. No one can stand it.

Of course, the rebuttal also depends on the situation. In this situation, smart people will refute in a tactful tone instead of in a confrontational manner.

All I can say is that these two girls grew up in a greenhouse, and like newborn calves, they are not afraid of tigers and have no idea how big the storm outside is.

Maybe it's because I care too much?

Dong Ye Yu could feel how much they valued him, and he probably was afraid that he would abandon them.

People always hold on to straws tightly.

Dong Yeyu gently swept the two girls' heads with his tail, winked at them, and then looked at Qilang: "Qilang's mature and prudent words, I will remember them in my heart."

"It's just that my tribe prefers to practice in the secular world, so we can't avoid dealing with mortals. Since we can't avoid contact with mortals, it's better to find mortals that suit our hearts. I have been with them for a while, and my intuition tells me that they are quite kind among humans, and they should not betray us."

At this point, he changed the subject: "Of course, if I am betrayed, and I see the true face of human beings, it would not be a bad thing for me to spend the rest of my life in the sea and practice without caring about worldly affairs."

When Jinguji Hiiragi Jing heard this, he looked up at Higashino Yu and said seriously: "I will not betray you."

Kaori and Shiori simply hugged Higashino Yu's tail.

Who knows? If you find out that Dongye Yu is a fox demon, she might try to trick me into signing a contract to work like you. Then I will have to stay in the Jinguji family and cry behind bars.

Maybe it will become an heirloom fox - one fox passed down for three generations, and the fox will remain even after the people are gone.

Dong Ye Yu complained in his heart.

Concentrate on cultivation? I'm afraid that by then there will be no chance for concentration on cultivation. Qi Lang sighed in his heart, lowered his head, and stopped trying to dissuade him.

"That's too much. It's better not to discuss things that haven't happened."

He tried to smooth things over with a smile, sitting cross-legged on the futon that the raccoon cat monsters had temporarily laid out on the dirt floor of the shrine, and casually took the wine glass handed to him by the raccoon girl who served as a maid, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You all came here to kill the demons, not for money or promises, but simply because you saw the demons living peacefully being bullied and abused by the demons, and you felt indignant and angry, so you drew your swords."

"Although it is only the courage of a common man, it is also a clear heart. I will not tolerate insults. Don't mention things like rewards anymore."

As he said this, he smiled at the old raccoon cat, who was dressed as a priest, and said, "The thirty cents we agreed on before must not be less. Otherwise, there will be no monsters to help you in the future."

He had enough prestige among the great monsters. After he made the decision, Badger Chiyo and the others said nothing more.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami also realized that his words were inappropriate and bowed to apologize again.

Zukan nodded slightly at her, then looked around and said, "I have just thought about the next arrangements. Please listen to me and fill in the gaps. How do you think?"

Seeing that the demons were silent and listening, they pondered for two seconds. "The barrier of the shrine was set up by the first generation of the Hishizawa Water God. That god has profound cultivation and is mysterious. I am afraid that even if we work together, it will be difficult to break the barrier. Not to mention facing the demons waiting behind the barrier, which is unwise."

"My idea is that since the demon has already taken on the initial stage of becoming a god, and is planning to fight again after digesting the godhood, we may be able to change our target."

"Originally, I wanted to kill the demon and bring peace to the fairyland, but now it seems that killing the demon may be difficult. It is better to protect the many villagers of Li Village and leave the fairyland while the demon is still unstable and choose another home."

The raccoon cat monsters who were accompanying the big monster were all stunned when they heard this, and Elder Tanuki also fell silent.

Nowadays, humans are using the machines they created to dig up mountains and break ground in the mortal world. A few years ago, Taoxiang Town developed a tourist area, and even the fairyland was greatly affected.

If we leave the fairyland and go to the outside world, even though the world is big, where can we find a paradise that can accommodate so many civet cats in the civet cat land?
Tanuki Goro was pushed up by the villagers. He looked back and saw the villagers looking at him eagerly. He knelt on the ground in silence and said, "Sir, is there really no other way?"

Zukan shook his head and said, "We are not strong enough to fight a god in his domain. Perhaps after we leave here, we can ask the three demon hunters to report the matter to Izumo Taisha. You can come back after the demon is punished and killed by the gods."

Elder Li Zhui stood at the foot of the steps of the worship hall and let out a long sigh.

Not to mention whether this fairyland can still be inhabited after being punished by God, the key point is that after the death of the water god Hishizawa, a new water god will have to be appointed. Will the new god accept the existence of the raccoon village?
Many raccoon cat monsters were quite worried about this, but no raccoon cat could bring itself to ask for a fight.

A big monster hired for thirty cents is really a terrifying slave owner who wants to make people fight for their lives.

"That demon is afraid that the news will get out, so he won't let us go easily."

Dong Yeyu thought of this and suddenly asked, "If he has initially replaced the Water God of Hishizawa, can he still enter and exit the fairyland normally?"

Jiuzo stroked his silver-white beard that looked like steel needles on his chin and said, "It should be possible."

It was clear that he stopped here and explained.

"Generally speaking, when a new god takes over from an old god, they start by refining the divine body, divine sword, and magatama, then the divine palace, and finally the fairyland."

"This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. In some cases, it takes decades, or even half a century to fully refine it."

After that, Zukan looked at Tanuki and said, "Elder Tanuki, please have all the raccoon cat monsters in Tanuki Village get ready. Time is precious."

The bald warrior's words were firm and unquestionable.

When Li Zhui heard this, it was as if a supporting pillar in his spine had been removed, and his already hunched body became even shorter.

He glanced blankly at the big monsters and raccoon monsters present, climbed the stairs, knelt in front of the worship hall, and muttered to himself.

"Can't we save the raccoon village after all?"

Having said this, he sat there for a while and suddenly waved his sleeves.

"Let's go, raccoon cats, let's go."

As the most prestigious civet cat elder, he spoke. Even though the civet cats present were reluctant to leave, they did not dare to say anything. They took their leave one by one and went home to pack their luggage.

At the same time, Kaori and Shiori were also struck by lightning. They had hoped that the arrival of these big monsters would bring some hope.

But he didn't expect that he would have no choice but to run away in the end. He knelt there in a daze for a while.

Dong Ye Yu sighed in his heart, and the fox tail wrapped around the two of them. After a moment, suppressed sobs sounded.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami touched the hilt of Kunimitsu Nyudo Isshin's sword several times, and put it down several times. Finally, a depressed look appeared on Lengran's little face.

Faced with this situation, even she was at a loss.

Higashino Yu then stretched out his other tail, and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami looked up at the big white tail in front of him.

"Would you like a hug? I don't mind." Dong Yeyu said softly. The girl just looked at him and said calmly, "Thank you."

After saying that, he did not pick him up, but took out a wooden comb from his backpack and started combing Dong Ye Yu's tail, looking quite serious.

Higashino Yu:?

What a quirk.

The raccoon cat monsters surrounding him dispersed like the tide, and the previously bustling shrine suddenly became quiet.

The big monsters were sitting in the open space of the shrine. Some were drinking nonchalantly, while others were wiping their swords and stringing their bows, ready for battle.

The old civet cat knelt in front of the worship hall in a daze. The eternally bright sunshine of the fairyland fell on the wind chimes on the eaves of the worship hall, flashing golden spots of light. A few pink petals floated in from somewhere, and the wind chimes also jingled.

"Elder Tanuki is very long-lived, having lived for five hundred years. All his relatives and friends have passed away, and he is the only one alive. Tanuki Township is very important to him, just like my father and brother are as important to me."

Tao Dong came to Dong Ye Yu with a glass of spiritual wine, and looked at the two demon-hunting girls who could be so close to him with some envy. He raised the glass with a cautious look, as if he wanted to serve him drinking.

This damn remnant of the old society, where people just stretch out their hands for clothes and eat for food, is really degenerate.

Dong Ye Yu criticized in his heart, opened his mouth, and the raccoon girl tiptoed to pour the spirit wine into the fox's mouth.

It seems like it is brewed by mixing many kinds of spiritual fruits together. The taste is very layered, fresh and sweet, with a slight taste of wine, but not too strong. It is more like a fruit drink than wine. Drinking it may bring some thin spiritual energy.

But if you want to talk about the effect, it's just like wolfberry for middle-aged men, it's better than nothing.

After finishing his drink, Dong Yeyu looked at the raccoon girl who was trying hard to please him with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Tao Dong, I may not be able to avenge your father and brother for the time being."

"I know, Lord Ayu." Taodong said softly. She lowered her head and looked at Li Zhui's back with a complicated expression.

About an hour later, under the urging of Badger Chiyo who ran around the village, the raccoon cats stood at the doorsteps of their homes with large and small bags on their backs, looking a little anxious. Every household held a lantern.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Badger Chiyo raised the wild sword and pointed it at the wall of white mist falling from the sky. The raccoon cat monsters followed closely behind, looking into the distance from time to time.

The seedlings in the field were half planted, and the oxen were unattended, grazing leisurely. Various farm tools lay quietly in the rice field. The mud and water soaked the tools, and seemed to have soaked the hearts of the monsters.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Higashino Yu stood on the worship hall, looking at the monsters going away, and asked the raccoon who was still kneeling in front of the god.

Li Zhui shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, Lord Ayu. I was born and raised here, and have lived in this land for hundreds of years. I don't want to die in a foreign land."
