I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 175 Yuanjun
"Then Uda Kagemasa was struck by a bolt of lightning while holding your position as a deity. The divinity of the water god Hishizawa was probably destroyed. Where did the position of a divine messenger come from for me?"

Dong Yeyu glanced at her and couldn't help but suspect that this old witch was trying to trick him into working for nothing.

"And, do you really have the ambition to become a god?"

"I have learned about this in the past two days. Although Ueda Jingzheng is hypocritical enough to use his daughter's premature death as an excuse to cover up his ambitions, his accusations against you are not false at all."

"As the God of Water of Hishizawa, you have indeed neglected your duties. Several decades ago, his ten-year-old daughter, Takako, was eaten by a demon because you were slow to expel it."

The lady in the veil lowered her head and said, "I was in deep sleep at that time and ignored the voices of the believers."

What a dead pig, sleeping for decades, then waking up to find something wrong, with the expression of Zhang Huaimin, right?

How can a god be like this? He never shows up and doesn't manage the demons and monsters in his jurisdiction. He just sits in his position and does nothing. If it weren't for the development of tourism in the local area, the Hishizawa Shrine on Xiashan would have been abandoned eighty years ago.

Now you want to work illegally for the ox-horse god?

Dong Yeyu was somewhat speechless, "Didn't you find one or two gods to assist you before?"

The lady thought for a moment and recalled: "The monsters here are different from you, sir. They don't know etiquette and are rude. What's the point of coming here? But when I took office, my grandfather sent Prime Minister Turtle, and civil and military officials followed to assist him. But when I saw that they were noisy all day, I drove them all back."

Higashino Yu:
I seem to have heard something incredible. How come Prime Minister Turtle is here? Could you be from the sea?

Come to think of it, I don't even know her name - when this woman came to my house yesterday, she only called herself the Water God of Hishizawa and didn't tell me her real name.

Your last name isn’t Ao, right?
This makes sense. It's like a rich girl from a city parachuting into the management team to mess things up. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and she is afraid to go home after making such a mess, so she looks for people to fill the hole.

However, if that was the case, how could the Dragon Girl be the God of Water in a small island country like this? At least she could be the God of Water or He Bo in Shenzhou, right?
Dong Yeyu pondered for a moment, "Wait a minute, let me ask you first, what is your name?"

I actually wanted to ask her directly what her true form was, but it seemed impolite to ask a monster directly about her true form.

"Sir, that's rude."

Upon hearing this, the lady frowned slightly, looked at Dong Yeyu, and explained in a quiet and polite voice, "I am not married yet, how can I easily tell the name of a man from another family."

At this point, she looked at Dong Yeyu with her starry eyes and added very sincerely: "However, if you are willing to be my divine messenger, then you will not be considered an outsider."

"Forget it then." Dong Ye Yu turned around and was about to leave.

If he really has a background and status in the sea, he should be the God of Water in Shenzhou.

This woman looked noble and behaved politely, like a royal lady from ancient China.

But after being exiled to the island country, he still serves as the water god in Xia Lake, a small lake that is considered remote even in the island country.

Although Xiazhi Lake was a large swamp in ancient times, it has shrunk to this extent now. The tourism industry has only developed by chance, and it can hardly be called a good place.

I guess he came here because he made some mistake.

What's more, this guy can sleep for decades, and he is probably a lazy person. If I take over, there will probably be a lot of things to deal with every now and then. Where will I have the time to practice and repay his gratitude?

Inappropriate or inappropriate.

Seeing this, the lady hesitated for a moment and then quickly chased after him: "Sir, you can call me Yuan Jun."

Last name Yuan?

Dragon Girl?

Dong Ye Yu seemed to be thinking about something. Considering that she had said before that when she took office, she was followed by Prime Minister Turtle and hundreds of civil and military officials, it was very likely that she was from the dragon clan.

But judging from the surname, it may not be a sea dragon, but a river dragon.

The dragon clan does not only have the surname Ao. Yuan is also one of the surnames in the dragon clan. During the Tang Dynasty, there was a legend about Wei Dan releasing a turtle, and the dragon in the legend was surnamed Yuan.

The story goes that there was a man named Wei Dan in the Tang Dynasty. When he was young, he lived in Luoyang. When he was riding a donkey passing by a bridge, he saw a lot of people gathered there and making noise.

When we got closer, we saw that a fisherman had caught a giant soft-shell turtle and was tying it to a bridge pillar.

It is probably a classic display part of the fisherman before selling it.

When young Wei Dan saw this scene, he felt sorry for the girl and walked up to ask how much it would cost to redeem her.

The fisherman wanted five thousand coins, but Wei Dan didn't have that much money, so he had to exchange it for the donkey he was riding.

After getting the giant turtle from the fisherman, Wei Dan went to the river and released it, but he didn't know that the giant turtle was actually a dragon.

The dragon called himself Yuan Junzhi. In order to thank Wei Dan for saving his life, he went to heaven and fought for a lifetime of wealth and glory for Wei Dan.

Although this story is ridiculous, there is indeed a saying that Jiang Helong's surname is Yuan.

However, Yuanjun is probably not the full name of this dragon girl. Jun probably refers to her status as the god of water. After all, water gods are generally called Shuijun.

"Yuan Jun has an extraordinary origin, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find someone to assist him. Why do you insist on letting me, a wild fox, be your messenger?" Dong Yeyu was a little curious.

"Can you still be considered a wild fox if you can summon a divine thunderbolt and have the gods of thunder descend upon you? Moreover, you have great fortune, sir. You were born a wild fox, but you were able to inherit the great Dao. There must be something strange about it. Although I don't know why, I believe in the choice of the Heavenly Venerable."

Yuanjun said sincerely, her expression could not be seen beneath the veil, but her starry eyes contained a hint of curiosity.

"It's just a method I got by chance. I don't have a master. If the Heavenly Venerable finds out, there's a greater chance that he'll be exterminated."

Dong Yeyu sighed, he did have this kind of worry occasionally.

What if the system's rewards were all from the fire dragon burning the warehouse, and the pills were all leaked out of the monkey's mouth - although the possibility is very small, what if it happens?
When Yuanjun heard this, her eyebrows relaxed, her starry eyes were like crescent moons, and she smiled.

"Sir, you are wrong. The Heavenly Venerable's divine consciousness can search all the ten directions and all the worlds. Nothing can be hidden from him. Since you have been able to practice peacefully until now, it must be because of the Heavenly Venerable's tacit approval."

Does Tianzun also know about the existence of that system?

Dong Yeyu felt somewhat confused. According to what Yuanjun said, since he was practicing the righteous way, he should have entered the Tianzun Dharma Eye system long ago and would have been discovered.

But since no one tried to snatch it, I guess in the eyes of Tianzun, the system is just like that, right?

And according to Yuanjun, Tianzun tacitly allowed himself to practice the correct way.

In this way, although I am not officially included in the sect, there are still people above me, the fox, right?

Whether you can shake it or not is another matter, but at least you won’t be treated as a wild monster and killed by the gods of the island country.

Thinking of this, Dongye Yu felt much more relieved, as if he had pulled out a hidden thorn that had been embedded in his flesh for many years.

These words relieved Dong Yeyu's worries for many years. He looked at Yuanjun with a much better attitude - after learning that it was because of this god's bad behavior that demons were wreaking havoc in the local area, he actually didn't like it very much.

No one likes a god who just sits in office and does nothing. If this deity were in Shenzhou, the statue of Yuanjun might be dragged to the square and exposed to the sun for three days.

So I refused seriously.

"I am flattered by Yuanjun's cordial invitation, but I have many ties in the mortal world and really do not have the time to serve as a divine messenger."

Yuan Jun: "Don't worry, you can study first and take up the post after you finish your worldly affairs."

"If I do well, Grandfather might transfer me back to Shenzhou to be the Lord of the River. Then you can follow me to Shenzhou to seek a priesthood. I know you have already attained enlightenment and just need to practice with all your heart. However, the road to practice is long and requires wealth, friends, and a place of practice. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could also have a priesthood?"

Yuanjun's words were indeed pertinent, and Dongye Yu was somewhat moved after listening to them.

However, if I become a priest, I certainly cannot be as bad as she is. Will I really have time to repay my gratitude and establish a relationship then?

"I'll think about it."

Yuanjun just smiled when he heard that, and waited patiently beside him, with a broad mind like the one who visited the thatched cottage three times. Dongye Yu was struggling in his heart, but suddenly he saw a red lantern hanging in the clothing store not far ahead, indicating that it was open for business. He temporarily put aside his struggle and walked over quickly.

The graceful lady sitting behind the counter was not surprised to see Dong Ye Yu, and asked with a smile.

"Have you decided which dress you want to choose, my Lord?"

As he spoke, he saw Yuan Jun behind him, his eyes fell on the girl's clothes, and his eyes lit up, "Who is this lady?"

"A friend." Dong Yeyu said simply, and then asked: "Can you show me the pattern?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhi did not ask any more questions. She took out a book with clothing patterns from under the counter and began to introduce them. Occasionally, she turned her head to look at the girl in extraordinary clothes, her eyes seemed to be glued to the brocade and embroidery.

Yuanjun ignored the owner's gaze and walked into the store on her own. She looked around and seemed to have no interest.

Higashino Yu looked at the patterns in the book, recalling the colors and styles that Miko and Asumi liked, "Let's choose these two, but I'm not sure about the body size."

"That's fine. The fabric you chose is enchanted with magic, and it can change size according to the wearer's body shape."

After choosing the style of the clothes, Dong Yeyu asked, "Can I come and get them after they are ready?"

Zhi smiled and shook his head: "No, our store has a delivery service and will send a clerk to deliver the goods to your door."

The service industry is catching up with modern times.

Dongye Yu thought about the express delivery service in the island country that was difficult for ordinary people to evaluate, and suddenly an idea of ​​monster express delivery came to his mind.

However, thinking about the fact that there are shrines and gods everywhere, as well as many monsters, if I want to expand my business, I guess I will have to contact them one by one.

Why do you still do courier work if you have that ability?
He shook his head, put the thought behind him, and asked again: "Where I live is within the jurisdiction of Inari Shrine, so it won't affect me, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I have a pass in my shop that I got from the great god."

Dong Yeyu nodded, paid a deposit of one kan of silver, and left. Seeing Yuanjun still following him, he asked, "Aren't you going back to deal with the mess in Lingze?"

"After I killed the demons in my territory the day before yesterday, I started to recuperate. I will put aside all other matters for now. Sir is more important."

"Didn't I say I would consider it?"

Yuan Jun blinked his eyes and said, "I am just waiting for you to consider it."

Dong Ye Yu was speechless and simply ignored her. He strolled around the street and bought a lot of gift boxes of pastries made of spiritual fruits - these were intended to be sent back to Kyoto.

Some belong to Mr. Miyazaki, and some belong to children from an orphanage.

Originally, Dong Yeyu wanted to buy some beautiful jewelry, toys and the like, but after thinking it over, she gave up.

It's not that we can't afford the money, but the children in the orphanage are a vulnerable group in the school. If we buy them something that looks very expensive, they might be bullied and robbed by bad kids.

I am only in Kyoto for a few days a year and cannot take care of everything, so I might as well buy some edible cakes and spiritual items. They are more practical than small accessories and are also good for the body.

Before leaving, Dong Ye Yu thought of the brothel where the cassock was hung that day, and the brothel madam was quite hateful.

Although it is difficult for me to kill them while hiding in Lingze Demon City, I can't just leave like this.

So he walked towards the East Market, ready to cause trouble.

Yuanjun followed behind him with graceful steps and noble manners, like a princess out for a trip. Her starry eyes observed Dong Yeyu impartially. Behind her floated a pile of packaged cakes and fruits, probably bought for her own enjoyment.

Occasionally, I would be attracted by the bustling and lively scene around me, take a curious look, and then quickly turn my gaze back.

I didn't say anything to Dong Ye Yu, I just followed him, acting like I wouldn't leave unless you agreed.

Only when they approached the entertainment area of ​​the East Market did Yuanjun frown slightly and stop at a distance. Seeing that Dong Yeyu did not wait for her, she felt that he did it on purpose. For a moment, she glared at his back with her starry eyes with some anger and spoke a little louder.

"I still have divine duties to attend to, so I will go back first. I hope you will consider the matter concerning the divine messenger."

Got to go?
Dong Ye Yu waved at her. Seeing this, Yuan Jun pursed her lips, turned into a golden light and left. The monsters around seemed unable to see her and had no reaction to her departure.

Feeling the breath behind me disappear, I looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally gone.

This is actually just one of her Dharma bodies.

Although this woman is lazy by nature, her cultivation is actually that of a Yang God.

However, because he was seriously injured in a sneak attack by the Yangshen monster that did not show up that day, he should be staying in Hishizawa Shrine to recuperate.

Dong Ye Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he thought of this.

Some people were born in Rome. They have been playing badly for so many years and I don’t know if they have been practicing seriously. They are almost becoming immortals.

Some people are born to be beasts of burden, and after practicing for more than 20 years, they are still unknown monsters. But if it were another character, they would become gods after more than 20 years.

The fox felt a little depressed for a moment.

But, how many of them really got the deer?

Isn't it good like this now?

Dong Ye Yu comforted himself and walked into the West Market, where he found many monsters gathered outside the market, watching something.

Looking over with some curiosity, I discovered that the island country's brothel was preparing for a classic red-light district event - the Oiran parade.

The monster transformed into a beautiful woman, wearing a geisha's gorgeous costume and an oiran with a golden hairpin on her head, was preparing to parade through the streets on ridiculously high wooden clogs. The brothel's eunuchs, thugs and others came out and asked the guests to make way for her.

The brothels on both sides of the street opened their doors and windows, and both customers and prostitutes leaned in to watch the grand spectacle of the courtesan outing.

There was a turtle holding a lantern with the two Chinese characters "Wu Fei" written on it, shouting something in a rhythmic manner, and the musicians behind the procession were beating small drums.

Clang!

The shamisen is testing its tone, and its slightly stiff and sonorous music blends with the sorrowful shakuhachi that is blown afterwards, producing the decadent music from ancient times. Bird monsters with wings are scattering flower petals in the air, and there are also strange cloud-like monsters holding large paper umbrellas and flying over the heads of the courtesans.

The display was much grander than that of ordinary people, even a little over the top, but no monster cared.

The monsters participating in the parade all had smiles on their faces. They played the music with all their might, and from time to time shouted meaningless interjections to emphasize the beat of the music. Some of them even performed chaotic and funny dances.

The surrounding monsters watched with great interest, cheering from time to time.

Dongye Yu stood among the group of monsters, feeling the genuine atmosphere that was more lively and sincere than that in the mortal world. Although he could not appreciate the courtesan whose face was painted pale white, he laughed along with them.

At first, Higashino Yu thought that these monsters were just pretending to be humans because they were too bored, but now it seems that perhaps human culture has blossomed here.

They probably don't think they are playing human beings, but are truly immersed in this paradise of monsters, or are they reminiscing about the grand spectacle of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons during the Edo period?
Dong Yeyu sighed, "The sky is vast for eternity, and the wind and moon are fleeting for a moment."

He turned and walked towards the target in the square. The monsters sensed the breath of the big monster and lowered their heads to avoid it.

After finding the brothel that day, I was surprised to discover that it seemed to be closed and there were no prostitutes showing themselves in the cage house.

Do you think hiding will help?

Dong Yeyu looked up at the plaque of the brothel. Wenxiang? Today I will turn you into broken jade. He immediately smashed the plaque with his magic power.

Bang!
Kick the brothel door.

"Where's the madam?"
