I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 353 I hate people who read my posts but don’t reply the most!
Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami lowered her crow-feather eyelashes, and her fingertips hovered three inches above the phone screen without falling.

The setting sun shone through the lattice windows of the library, dyeing her profile an amber halo. Even the shadow cast by her eyelashes on the bridge of her nose was mottled with gold.

".boring"

She looked at the funny appearance of the cat on the phone screen with a helpless expression. She could imagine how speechless the cat spirit in Yuko's family was.

The jade-like knuckles curled up and unclenched, and the Ukiyo-e-style Kyoto street scene on the screen dimmed with the sound of the screen lock.

The incense sticks on the sandalwood table had long since burned out, the last wisp of smoke being crushed into the twilight by the draft.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami began to pack up the books. The tiny sound woke up the tabby cat that had been dozing off by the window frame. The sound of the copper bell echoed clearly in the empty library.

I walked out of the library holding the book and stepped onto the corridor. The copper bells on the eaves swayed in the evening breeze, shining with the golden glow of the setting sun.

The corridor floor seemed to be soaked in honey, and the newly-lit green wax gave off a satin-like luster in the afterglow. The white pantyhose wrapped around the girl's slender feet were shrouded in a hazy halo in the golden light.

I walked back a few steps. The dusk deepened and there was no one around. The sound of wooden clogs faded away from the corner of the corridor, as if it was stepping on people's hearts.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami suddenly felt lonely. Just now he could use copying to numb his mind and keep himself calm, but now he could not suppress it anymore. His emotions were growing like weeds.

This was a feeling I had never felt before.

She frowned and stopped, wanting to use the Pure and Tranquil Sutra to get rid of her worries, but after thinking for a moment, she decided not to choose this method.

Compared with the problems you are facing right now, using the Sutra of Tranquility to gain a moment of peace is just an escape.

She leaned against the vermilion lacquered column, and her mind occasionally recalled the time she spent at Higashinohyo's house.

It was also such a warm evening. Everyone was crowded in a room, and was about to take a break after practicing for an afternoon.

Kaori and Shiori huddled together playing with their phones, he was tinkering with his vlog celebrity plan, Sanae and Miko walked into the house carrying baked cakes and desserts in the honey-like sunset, the sweet smell blending into the warmth of the evening.

It would be nice if we could continue to be close friends like this.

Even though Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami knew at the time that this was impossible and that everyone would eventually have their own destination, being able to spend a few more years together like this was also a very beautiful memory.

Even after the baptism of time, the midsummer sunshine in our memory will never fade.

But he didn't expect that things would turn out like this. In less than a year, he was polluted by the human world to this extent.

Stupid fox.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami cursed him in his heart and looked up slightly. The sunset was dyeing the clouds into crimson gauze, and the first golden stars were hanging above the eaves.

Do you want to agree with Sanae's idea?
My hand holding the phone tightened a little, and I felt pessimistic about the outcome.

Even if Sanae could accept it temporarily, it was impossible for him to fight with her. In the end, he would still return here alone, and it would be a waste of time.

Is it really worth it?
Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

When she opened her eyes, she had made up her mind.

Just think of it as helping Sanae.

The girl picked up her cell phone. Her eyes, as peaceful as the night, were filled with the evening stars and the rising moon, clear and transparent, just like her thoughts.

What do you mean?
I hate people who read my messages but don’t reply!
Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Dong Ye Yu looked at the black cat and asked, "Is it because you are not proficient in your backflip?"

Miaoji sat next to Yuko with a somewhat innocent look, and looked at Dongye Yu for a moment. She seemed to feel the loss of the young man in front of her, so she walked over and rubbed her head against the back of his hand to comfort him.

Puma cat.

Dong Yeyu sighed, patted her furry head, and praised: "You did a good job, thank you, Miaoji."

After serving as cat spirits in the shrine, although they are still in the state of souls, they are no longer illusory and have some power.

In a sense, he can be called a messenger of God.

When Miaoji heard the praise, she meowed and seemed very happy. She rubbed back and forth next to Dongye Yu for a few times, then sat back next to Yu Zi and took a nap.

Dongye Yu stroked his chin, raised his eyes 45 degrees to look at the ceiling, and thought about the meaning of A Jing's lack of reply.

Is it because you are afraid that you will not be able to control your inner feelings after you truly see yourself, which will lead to the further collapse of your principles?

Being able to withstand my combo means you have a will as strong as steel. You are worthy of being called A Jing.

It seems that there will be no progress in the short term. We need to give her more time.

ding~~
Just as I was thinking this, the phone screen suddenly lit up. When I opened it, it was a reply from Ajing.

"Kaori Shiori is clamoring to come play, so I might have to bother you tomorrow."

At the same time, Miko's mobile phone also received a message, probably something from Jing telling her that he was coming to visit her, but she was immersed in training and ignored it.

Kaori Shiori, you did a great job!

I'll treat you to pears then. Dong Yeyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a good opportunity to check their progress in cultivation. I plan to use the summer vacation to cultivate and study at the same time. Ah Jing, you should come too. Only by confirming each other's cultivation can we go further."

Dong Yeyu's tone suddenly became serious.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami replied: "I'll think about it."

Are you still considering this? If you dare to say no, I - Dong Yeyu typed a few words to vent my anger, and then deleted them silently.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the shrine."

There was no reply from that end.

Her reply was expected, and Dongye Yu was not disappointed. He turned off his mobile phone, took out his exercise book and notebook to study for a while - whether it was Samadhi True Fire or daily practice, it was best to practice at a specific time.

This is related to the spiritual state between heaven and earth. Forcing yourself to practice for a whole day will only yield half the result with twice the effort, and there is also the risk of damaging your foundation.

The room was very quiet and the light gradually dimmed. Dong Yeyu felt that the study was a little dark. He looked up and saw that the sunset outside the window had completely set.

Only the blue and white light in the sky remained, the courtyard was immersed in a blue background, the occasional car horn sounded at Ayase Sakashita gradually faded away, and the smell of dinner wafted from the kitchen.

The cicadas also changed the rhythm of their chirping, making the forest, which had already fallen into the night, even more gloomy.

Miko and Sanae were still refining the Jiaoli. They sat upright with calm and peaceful expressions. The shadows cast by their delicate and beautiful features gave them a mysterious attraction.

Higashino Yu looked at the two of them quietly for a moment with a look of pure appreciation, until Yuko's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was showing signs of waking up, and then he gathered up the satisfaction and warmth in his heart.

I got up quietly to light the mosquito coils, closed the screen window, and pulled the light cord on the desk. Click!

The incandescent lamp cast a warm yellow light. As if disturbed by this light, Asumi Sanae's body trembled slightly, and a little white light lingered in her mind.

The white light soon became brighter, extending out like a river of moonlight, and finally two illusory figures appeared beside her.

This is her Yin Spirit, and the other one is probably Liuli, right?
Did the two of them actually enter the realm of Qi Refining and God Transformation at the same time?
Dong Ye Yu looked at their Yin Spirits and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, feeling a little complicated.

Sometimes, the speed at which humans cultivate does make monsters envious—even if they were once humans themselves.

You know, it took me more than ten years to reach this level.

Although ten years were stuck in the practice method, even if there was no block, it would take at least seven or eight years to go from having no practice to the state of having a spirit leaving the body.

Sanae had only been practicing for half a year.

Of course, this is also due to the help of Jiaoli. Even if ordinary human practitioners have the right method and talent, after building the foundation for a hundred days, they still need to accumulate for three to five years before they can try to let their Yin spirit leave the body.

But it’s faster than the monsters anyway.

"Amazing! You have already entered the realm of Qi Refining and Transforming into Spirits, which makes you a human immortal."

Dong Ye Yu walked over and said with a smile, although he was envious in his heart, he was basically happy for them.

However, when his eyes fell on Liuli, he felt something strange. Her Yin Shen was much smaller than Sanae's. She was only about 1.4 meters tall, and her facial features were like a younger version of Sanae. She still had baby fat on her cheeks, and her figure was delicate. She looked like an elementary school student.

Wasn't there no difference between the two at the Fukuchiyama ancient battlefield?

The two of them seemed not to have heard what Dong Ye Yu said, but were completely immersed in the wonderful feeling of their soul leaving their bodies. Dong Ye Yu then just sat there and watched the two of them with a smile.

Liuli seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of being in a soul state and recovered quickly. Dong Yeyu was about to say something when she sat over, looked at Dong Yeyu, blinked her eyes as blue as the sky, and put her slender fingers to her mouth.

"Ayu, she has been looking forward to this moment for a long time, don't disturb her." The clear and childish voice can actually make people feel the tenderness hidden in it.

It always feels a bit weird to be called Ayu by such a little girl.

Dong Yeyu was complaining in his heart when he suddenly felt a chill on his arm. He turned around and saw Liuli coming over to him.

"Can you let me lean on you for a while? I've been sitting on the throne of the mirror moon for a long, long time, and I almost forgot the warmth of a human being." She said softly.

"Of course, but-"

"Fukuzawa Yukichi? I have one too. Although he has passed away, the foundation that my grandfather established for me still generates a lot of income every year. The money in it can be given to His Excellency the Knight."

"Really?" Dongye Yu's eyes lit up, but when he met Liuli's childish eyes, he always felt guilty like he was cheating a child out of a lollipop.

"Well, I mean, the money should be saved to buy you some soul-nourishing elixirs or something like that."

In front of Liuli's childlike appearance, Dongye Yu couldn't say the dirty words he used to say, and even felt a little embarrassed.

Although theoretically I am with Sanae and Ruri at the same time, I shouldn't feel strange.

But who would have thought that after Liuli cultivated to the Yin Shen realm and could walk freely in the world, he would actually appear to be a child?
There's always that feeling of meeting your online crush in person and then discovering that the person is a minor.

Liuli smiled and chuckled: "Your Excellency the Knight is so cute."

Is this the soul?
Asumi saw that Sanae didn't seem to notice what was happening around her. She was observing herself calmly, constantly suppressing the joy in her heart and the urge to cheer.

Calm down Sanae, you are the Moon Witch, you can't do such disrespectful things, and this is not your home.

She silently chanted the Purity Sutra to suppress her joy, and her emotions, which were surging like a wave, calmed down, allowing her to rationally feel her current state.

It feels so wonderful, as if I could fly into the starry sky with the wind with just a little effort.

She subconsciously stood up and jumped slightly, feeling a sense of weightlessness.

Let’s fly further!

As soon as this thought came to my mind, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and my soul was about to fly away to a distant place like a dandelion.

But then a hand stretched out from below grabbed his ankle. Mingri saw Sanae frowning, turned back with a cold expression, and looked down at Dongye Yu condescendingly, his eyes as cold as the silver light on a full moon night.

Coupled with her illusory soul with a halo of spiritual power, she really feels like a god.

Seeing that it was Dong Yeyu, the girl's expression eased a little and she raised her head slightly: "I need an explanation, Your Excellency the Knight."

Dong Yeyu rolled her eyes, pulled her ankles to the ground as if reeling in the rope of a hydrogen balloon, and explained the problems that are easy to encounter when the soul leaves the body for the first time - such as flying thousands of miles away if you are not careful.

"Last time I left my body, I couldn't control it. I flew from Tokyo to a monster market in Inzai, and almost ran into the fake Hishisawa Water God."

After Higashino Yu explained, Asumi Sanae nodded thoughtfully and snorted, "As the Moon Witch, of course I know all this. I am just testing your loyalty."

"Then it seems that I must have passed the test, right?" Dong Ye Yu said helplessly.

"You will be qualified only when the Moon Witch, that is, my Highness, is the only one left in your eyes."

The Moon Witch said this with a slight smile on her lips, humming a cheerful tune. She was about to ask the Yin God if he had any magic that he could use, and then she discovered that there seemed to be something next to Dong Ye Yu.

But he was tall and strong, so he blocked almost everything.

The girl stretched her neck to look, and when her eyes met Liuli's, she was stunned.

"elder sister."

"Sister——" Liuli greeted with a smile, her eyes misty.

Before she could finish, Sanae asked through gritted teeth, "How could you do this! I didn't agree to let you join in! And you're only ten years old."

"Ajing can do it, Miko can do it, but why can't I? I only look ten years old, but I am actually one minute older than you, my sister."

Although Liuli looked only ten years old, she was not afraid of her sixteen-year-old sister at all. She chuckled and said, "Are you scared, sister?"

"Are you afraid that I, the authentic Moon Witch, will receive the loyalty of Your Excellency the Knight?"

"Mom and Dad won't agree."

“Hahahaha!” Liuli laughed three times, completely different from her previous gentle temperament, “They can’t control me anymore!”

Dong Ye Yu was stunned. Shouldn't this be a touching hug between sisters who have been reunited after a long separation?
