I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 327 Have to Eat
"This is the immortal fruit that was served at the banquet when I listened to the ancient immortal preaching on Penglai Island in my early years. It is called Jiaoli. Practitioners can improve their spiritual cultivation by eating it, and mortals can prolong their lifespan and cure all diseases by eating it."

When he heard it was such a treasure, if Dong Ye Yu hadn't had no hands, he would have started rubbing it on the spot. Then he suddenly discovered some strange things.

The fruit placed on the table where the ancient immortal preached?
How come you were eating and taking things while listening?

Isn't this right?

Dong Ye Yu complained in his heart.

When the two girls sitting behind him heard this, one on each side showed only their heads, and their two elf-like faces showed strange expressions at the same time.

The expressions of the three people made Yu Shi’s face turn red. Then he remembered that he was the elder, and immediately put on a stern face and started to teach them a lesson.

"Little fox, don't be too polite when you meet immortals. Immortals are always generous. These fruits are no different from the fruits that ordinary humans eat. Will humans be stingy with their fruits when entertaining guests?"

"To immortals, what are ordinary objects are first-class immortal objects to humans and monsters with low cultivation. Eating one is a great opportunity."

He put his hands behind his back and coughed.

"Of course, taking something without asking is stealing. So as long as you ask before taking it and observe the etiquette of a guest, even if the ancient immortal has a weird temper and gets angry, at most they will take back the immortal fruit and drive you away. They won't punish you. But if you can take it away, then that's an opportunity."

"As for greater opportunities, if the immortal does not ask you to stay before leaving, don't think too much about it, and don't think it's a test or something like that. That's a boring trick that only mortals use."

"The test of the immortals has already ended when they preached. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Of course, there are some ancient immortals with strange tempers, but the chance is too slim. Compared with the immortal fruit that you can eat right now, the chance of being accepted by the immortal is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. Will you choose the real immortal fruit or try to catch the moon in the water?"

Dong Yeyu lowered his head to show that he was listening to the teachings. He didn't quite agree with them, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it - after all, he had already asked the owner before taking it, so it couldn't be considered stealing.

For the thousands of monsters who have no inheritance and can only move forward in the dark, every opportunity must be firmly grasped in their hands.

If you pursue those illusory things, you won't be able to pick up watermelons, let alone sesame seeds.

Therefore, although he felt that such behavior was somewhat rude and unpromising, it did make some sense and could be considered the way of life for a hermit in the mountains without any backing.

what?
You ask me what I would do?
You must be saying some auspicious words and asking the immortal for more. Who can eat just these few?

Yu Shi was quite satisfied with Dong Ye Yu's attitude and nodded slightly, thinking that the boy was teachable.

"I owed your teacher some money back then, and I promised to repay it with immortal fruit. I just used it to entertain your teacher. I didn't expect that he still remembered this small debt."

He didn't know what he was thinking about, he laughed, and then pushed the jade plate in his hand towards Dong Yeyu.

"With my current cultivation level, eating it would only satisfy my cravings. It would be useless and a waste. I'll just give it all to you."

How can I do this? But having said that, I dare not refuse the gift from the elder.

Dong Yeyu wanted it in his heart, but he still said politely: "Senior, is this really okay?"

Yu Shi knew the fox's temper and glared at him, "Don't want it? Then I'll take it back."

"Hey, hey, hey, I want it."

Dong Yeyu opened his mouth and took the jade plate and the pear into his soul. Facing the contemptuous gaze of a certain girl behind him, he smiled and thanked her: "Thank you for the generous gift, senior. If there is such a thing again in the future, please come to me again."

"I live in Tokyo now, in the Edo area, and I go back to Kyoto occasionally. Do you have a cell phone? Let's add Line so we can keep in touch."

Dong Ye Yu was quite proactive. It was rare to find such a powerful god. Who knows how many treasures he might have. He got the immortal fruit by coming to help once. What would happen if he came a few more times?
This kid, what is he planning? Does he think I don’t know?
Yu Shi glanced at him and put his hands in his sleeves: "From now on? There will be no treasure as a reward from now on."

"what?"

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything. This is the Water Spirit Pearl you lent me, and I'm returning it intact. We'll meet again later, senior."

Dong Ye Yu returned the spirit pearl to the water god, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

Although this god had done him a favor and seemed like a good god, it seemed a little unreliable given that he suppressed the ancient battlefield alone and ended up with such a serious accident.

It is better to keep a distance from unreliable gods, so that when you encounter difficulties in the future, you can ask them for help as appropriate, so that you can have a basis for advancing and retreating.

But if you make a promise carelessly, the consequences will be serious. Even if you are facing Susanoo, you may have to chop him a few times to repay your kindness.

This bastard. Seeing that he really wanted to clear himself of the matter, Yu Shi was so angry that his beard trembled. Did I give the pear away for free?

"Wait a moment!"

Dong Yeyu, who heard the divine voice behind him, stopped and looked back in confusion: "Is there anything else, senior?"

Yu Shi stared at the white fox expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Dong Ye Yu felt helpless and knew that he had to express his position. It was not easy to take the pear.

After thinking for a while, Dong Yeyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. I was just joking. Senior and I hit it off right away. We have a long history and now we have more interactions. If you encounter any trouble, I will naturally do my best to help you."

When Yu Shi heard this, his old face looked a little better. He didn't really expect this little fox to help him with anything, but it was a matter of face and he couldn't lose it.

He threw the spirit bead in his hand over to me and said: "Your cultivation is extraordinary, and you will definitely face many disasters in the future. I will temporarily lend you this spirit bead as a magic weapon to protect you."

Let me test, is it true or false?
Dong Yeyu's expression became serious. This old god was very kind to him. He first gave him fairy fruit and then borrowed precious treasures, and he didn't put any conditions in. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Maybe in the future someone will come to me for help when something big happens.

Dongye Yu thought for two seconds and felt that his weak arms and legs could not bear such a relationship with the god, but if he refused, he might offend the god, who was his benefactor after all, and this would not be good.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Ye Yu decided to be frank.

"To be honest, Senior, my cultivation is not high, and I don't have any backing. Even if you encounter any difficulties before I achieve enlightenment, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

"You are judging others by your own standards, aren't you? You are too cautious, you fox monster! If it weren't for your teachership, I wouldn't have helped you like this."

He blew his beard and glared in the rain, looking like his kindness was being taken for granted.

At the end he coughed and added a sentence.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to die. What's more, I have to stay here and slowly purify the resentment and evil spirits on the battlefield. It will take about several decades. If we encounter any troubles after that, I believe you will have already found the way. I just want you to remember the kindness we showed you today."

So it was a good relationship?

Dong Ye Yu felt relieved, although he didn't know why this god had so much confidence in him - to be honest, he really had no confidence that he could achieve enlightenment and become an immortal within a few decades.

But he still patted his chest and said, "Then you have found the right person. My name in the martial arts world is Shi Yu Yue Hu Bao Yi, Tao Xiang Timely Rain, and Heian Jing Xuan De Gong. I believe in repaying a favor! If I achieve enlightenment, I will never forget the kindness of my predecessors-"

"Okay, get out of here. You were so foul-mouthed back then. You scolded me all the way along the winding mountain road. You were rude at first but respectful later. It was hilarious." Yu Shi waved his hand to drive him away. "I was blind and didn't recognize the great man back then. Please forgive me, senior."

Having obtained the immortal fruit and the magic weapon, he has already earned too much. The other party is a real elder, so it would not be shameful to say a few more auspicious words.

Dong Yeyu said seriously, not giving the impression that he was speaking casually and frivolously, or that his words were insincere flattery - he had indeed cursed a bit dirty back then, and this old god was being scolded for no reason with such good intentions, which really made him feel ashamed.

Yu Shi was too lazy to listen anymore, so he turned around and walked back, his figure disappearing at the end of the woods.

Dong Yeyu then remembered something and asked loudly, "I haven't asked for your name yet, Senior."

Dong Yeyu stood there and shouted twice. He vaguely saw the hunched figure who walked into the light and shadow seemed to look back, and was silent for a second, "Yu Chi."

A vicissitudes of life voice was heard, and then it disappeared completely.

Is the rain late?
Dong Yeyu nodded slightly, "Senior Yu Chi, take care. I will come to visit you during the holidays."

After saying goodbye, Dong Yeyu walked forward with light luggage, with the sunlight above his head cut into spots by the gaps in the woods, stepping on the crispy dry leaves and soft mud under his feet, with light steps and humming a little tune.

This time I really have to eat it.

"Good luck to you, good luck brings joy and love"

"Tsk."

A harsh voice came from behind, followed by Sanae's faint questioning: "Your Excellency the Knight's expression changed so quickly that I couldn't help but wonder if you have two faces."

"Mr. Yu must have his own difficulties." Liuliren's voice is just like his voice, and he seems to be able to empathize with others.

"Just as Miss Liuli said."

Dong Yeyu sighed deeply and shook his head slightly: "Your Highness, you are from a wealthy family and you are born without having to bow your head, but I am different. Not to mention being poor, I am not even a human being."

"When I was little, I picked up garbage everywhere to eat. I became a little better when I grew up. I got used to seeing the fickleness of human nature, so my behavior became a little slick. Sometimes I seemed petty because I was afraid of death. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Afraid of death? Mingri saw Sanae frowning slightly, and felt that these words were a bit weird.

"Then why did Sir Knight come to rescue us this time?"

Dong Yeyu was stunned when he heard this, and fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he answered: "It's a combination of factors. I want to save you, and I also want to repay the teacher and the god. But more importantly, it happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to think about it."

"If I give you more time, you won't save me?" Asuhi saw Sanae pursed her lips slightly, looking a little unhappy.

"If you give me more time, I might be able to make more thorough preparations to rescue you." Higashino Yu replied, such as going back to Tokyo to ask for help, or going to Taoxiang to ask for help.

“What if there is not enough time to prepare completely?”

Liuli asked with a smile in her tone, and Higashino Yu could almost imagine the mischief on the face of the girl who looked exactly like Sanae.

Dong Yeyu held his breath for a while, and then said, "It is unreasonable to ask me to make a decision based on something that has not happened."

After that, he was silent for a while, as if he had thought it over, and then Dong Yeyu said, "But I will still come to save you."

This answer seemed to be barely acceptable. Asumi Sanae snorted and lay on the white fox's back. Her white and crystal clear feet unconsciously swayed twice in the smooth and dense fox fur.

"This time." The girl muttered, in a way that ordinary people could not hear, "Thank you."

I have a lot of mosquitoes?
Dong Yeyu could actually hear it, but he pretended not to hear it and asked, "What did you say?"

"Thanks."

"what?"

"Asshole Knight! You are a fox, how could you not hear what I said clearly? You did it on purpose!"

Asuhi saw Sanae burying her face in the soft fur on the white fox's back, and she felt dizzy and her ears were burning.

"But, if I just use words, it always feels a little pale." Dong Yeyu smiled with light steps.

"I will repay you."

The girl gnashed her teeth as she spoke: "But don't think I forgive you. Those who deceive the Moon Witch must be judged!"

Liuli smiled, leaned close to the fox's ear and whispered softly, "Don't worry, I will forgive your sins." The voice was like honey that penetrated into the heart, so sweet that it made people want to squint their eyes and sigh comfortably.

However, when he thought that the girl who said this was actually only a junior high school student when she was alive, maybe even younger than Miko, Higashino Yu found it a little funny and automatically put Ruri at the same table as Kaori Shiori.

Speaking of Miko, Higashino Yu remembered the dream he had before. He couldn't help feeling guilty and began to doubt himself. Could it be that he had always had some intentions towards Miko in his heart?
Liuli noticed that the white fox had stopped and seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing." Dong Yeyu shook his head and continued to walk out of the tree-lined path. At the same time, he continued with the previous conversation and answered in a low voice as if to agree.

"Then it's up to you."

Even though her voice was very low, Sanae could still hear it easily. She said in a serious tone, "Even the twin sisters of the Moon Witch cannot overstep their authority at will. Sister, you have crossed the line!"

"I am the first generation Moon Witch!"

"That was all yesterday. Now it's my Highness who is in power!"

The two sisters, who had not seen each other for many years, looked at each other with sparks in their eyes.

"You can't fight! What if you fall?"

Seeing that something was not right, Higashino Yu hurriedly tried to persuade them, and kept looking behind him - the scene of beautiful girls fighting was not something you could see every day.

But in the end, they didn't fight. Liuli looked at her sister's expression, as if she was protecting her favorite toy when she was a child, and laughed out loud. Then she said seriously: "Then, the Mirror Moon is really handed over to you, Sanae."

Ming saw Sanae was stunned, pursed her lips slightly, turned her head away, and muttered: "What's the point of a mirror moon with only one person? I have always reserved the throne for you."

She murmured, feeling sleepy. The soft white fox hair flying in front of her eyes became blurry and gradually turned into a ball of bright white light. In her ears, she could hear Dong Yeyu humming a strange song and her consciousness fell into chaos.

I don't know how long it was before Asumi Sanae suddenly opened her eyes. What she saw was the wooden ceiling and simple chandelier of the hotel. The world became real. She could breathe moist and fresh air, feel the wind blowing against her skin like a veil, and there was silence in her ears.

Its daybreak.

Everything that happened before seemed like a dream.
