I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 355 That won’t work!

"Is it a fox too?"

Liuli asked with some curiosity, imagining in her mind how Dong Ye Yu was still a little fox learning magic from an old fox monster. It felt very magical.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!"

Dong Ye Yu could tell at a glance that the girl was daydreaming, and quickly corrected her with a serious expression.

"My master is one of the greatest beings in the world."

Liuli blinked and said with great understanding: "I know, just like I think my mother is the best person in the world."

"No, my expression is very objective and does not contain any subjective ideas," Higashino Yu emphasized.

"Is it a god?" Miko asked while tidying up the homework books on the table.

"It's not quite right to say that he is a god."

Dong Yeyu pondered for two seconds: "At their level, the term God is no longer enough to describe their greatness. His title is Heavenly Lord."

"Tianzun, sister, what does Tianzun mean?" Liuli looked at Sanae with some curiosity.

Sanae is quite knowledgeable about Chinese studies. After pondering for two seconds, she explained, "It's probably one of the supreme gods of the religion in Shenzhou."

The Supreme God?!

Liuli nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she understood, but she actually had no idea about the Supreme God.

Just like ordinary people would not feel shocked if you told them trillions of US dollars in front of them - people would not have empathy for existence and things that are beyond their imagination.

Sanae looked at Higashino Yu in surprise: "Then why can't we let Him exorcise all the demons?"

let?
What are you talking about? Is Tianzun your bodyguard? He comes as soon as he says so?

Dong Ye Yu was speechless. At the level of Tianzun, he could probably know everything just by counting with his fingers. He must have his reasons for not taking any action.

What's more, I can't contact him.

Generally, Taoist priests who want to contact their masters who have become immortals have to offer sacrifices to them day and night, and also use talismans, meditation or other means of induction.

I have nothing and don't know how to perform similar rituals, so it won't work if I just do it randomly.

Dong Yeyu had previously thought about buying a painting of Tianzun to worship, hoping that Tianzun would appear one day in gratitude for his sincerity.

However, considering that various folk portraits of the Jade Emperor all use the image of famous actors, we probably don’t know whose face we bought in the painting - it is definitely not that of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

It felt disrespectful to worship such a hanging painting, so I gave up. I just set up a tablet of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun at the location that originally belonged to the shrine at home, and burned incense and worshipped it in the morning and evening.

The incense was the best sandalwood that could be bought in Chinatown, but after worshipping for a month or two, no spiritual connection appeared.

The Lord of Heaven probably doesn't want to pay attention to me.

Thinking of this, Dong Ye Yu corrected his previous statement.

"Actually, it's not quite right to say that He is my master. Strictly speaking, He has not acknowledged me as His disciple."

After all, Yuan Jun only said that he acquiesced, and there is still a huge gap between acquiescing and admitting that one is his disciple.

Only when He truly acknowledges me can I truly be considered His disciple.

Therefore, Higashino Yu did not tell Sanae and the others the full name of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. He only said the title. This did not affect anything. There are many gods called Tianzun, and there are also many Tianzuns in the Eastern Heaven.

However, the Heavenly Master of the Eastern Heaven Court is like a Yin God practitioner who calls himself a human immortal, which only makes people feel that he is flattering himself.

"But most of my magical powers were taught to me by Him, through some method, some medium, not directly, but indirectly."

Sanae and Miko nodded thoughtfully and did not continue asking. If necessary, he would tell them directly. There was no need to keep asking.

Liuli's attention seemed to be attracted by something. She stood up and floated to the window. She tilted her little head up to look at the deep blue night sky outside and exclaimed in amazement.

"so beautiful"

She sighed, without looking back, and just waved to Dong Yeyu and the others: "Come and see."

Dong Yeyu and a few others walked over and lay down on the window frame together.

Miko leaned close to Higashino Yu, her amber eyes reflecting the starry sky, and she hummed a beautiful tune, like a nursery rhyme from the countryside, which was said to have been taught to her by a passing monster.

Sanae looked at Miko, Ayu and her sister beside her, and suddenly felt that it would be nice to continue getting along like this, and the bitterness in her heart seemed to have disappeared a lot.

Suddenly, Miko's delicate and lovely nose wings twitched slightly, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the courtyard, and whispered: "I'm going to help grandma prepare dinner, is there anything Dongye Nissan would like to eat?"

Higashino Yu subconsciously said: "Fried shrimp tempura." This is one of the dishes in the island country that is not expensive, delicious and you will never get tired of it.

Then he remembered that he was no longer in a dream, and thought that the tone might need to change a little - at least it wouldn't be as familiar a response as that between husband and wife - but on second thought, now that he had confessed his feelings, all he had to do was reveal his identity as a fox, so it shouldn't matter, right?

He touched the girl's head to express his gratitude.

Miko seemed to be used to it, she just glanced at him and asked Sanae again.

Sanae was stunned for a moment, then bowed slightly: "Please help me make some fried shrimp tempura too."

She just likes desserts and doesn't like or hate Japanese cuisine. However, some of the food at Miko's is special, and she also wants to try the food that Higashino Yu likes.

Yu Zi nodded and walked away slowly. Her steps were steadier than ever before and were not much different from those of ordinary people.

"Miko is a good kid. It's a pity that she met you."

Sanae looked at the girl's back and glared at Higashino Yu fiercely. If they were not rivals in love, the two would be very good friends, instead of the current awkward situation where they are neither friends nor rivals in love.

"You are all good girls, and I am a villain." Dong Ye Yu lowered his head to express his heartfelt confession, half joking and half sincere.

Ming saw Sanae gave him a blank look and ignored her. She took her sister's hand and compared it with her own hand. The hand that appeared in her memory like a child's made her look a little dazed.

Her hands were slightly bigger than mine back then.

Dong Ye Yu had no choice but to follow Liuli to watch the starry night. Seeing her amazed look, he really thought that the Yin God's perspective could show strange scenery - for example, if the Yin God left the body during a supermoon, he would really see the moonlight falling into the mortal world like a river in the sky. It is said that the scenery is magnificent.

Then, a white light flashed before his eyes, and gray-white mist floated out of Dong Ye Yu's body, turning into a white fox almost as big as a house.

"There's nothing."

Dongye Yu followed Liuli's gaze and looked around for a few seconds, but didn't think there was anything strange about it. It was just a normal view of a clear summer night.

There was no difference from the night sky I saw every day in the past. The stars seemed to have become richer and brighter because of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but that was all.

But no matter how many times I have seen it, good weather always puts people in a good mood.

"It's a very clear night." Dong Yeyu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the wind blowing across his face like silk, "The wind tonight is just right."

It would be a great atmosphere if we could have a barbecue in the garden.

Dong Ye Yu was thinking whether he should tell them about this proposal later. After all, he couldn't stay in the study room to study and practice every day for the entire summer vacation.

It’s definitely not because I’m craving for barbecue.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Liuli's surprised voice behind me: "Look there!"

"what?"

"It's Lepus!"

"where?"

"Here, do you see that bright star? This is the constellation Lepus." Liuli drew a shape in the air with her tender fingers.

Dong Yeyu tried for a long time but couldn't tell how they looked like rabbits. He could only say that constellations are quite abstract. He couldn't recognize them, but Dong Yeyu didn't want to admit that he was a boring person with no imagination, which would make him feel like a loser.

So he could only smile awkwardly and looked down at the girl under the window frame. The red dress on her translucent body was an old style from many years ago, classic, very textured and very expensive - he had occasionally glanced at it in the magazines that Kaori and Shiori liked, and the two girls still wanted this dress.

The little face that was very similar to Sanae, but more childish and cuter, was filled with surprise and joy. The blue eyes, as clear and pure as the sky, were searching for familiar shadows in the night sky. The bright golden hair that was combed into a right bun was filled with starlight and moonlight because of the illusion of the Yin God.

She was like a dreamy elf girl who accidentally strayed into the human world as described in the legend, and was curious about everything.

At this moment, Dong Yeyu suddenly truly understood Liuli's joy. This was a common scene for her, but she hadn't seen it for several years.

Maybe she had thought that she would never see all this again. From her death to her slumber in Sanae's body, she should have been mentally prepared to never be able to touch all the beauty in this world again, right?

Dong Yeyu stood silently by the window and observed them.

She was looking at the stars, and Higashino Yu was looking at her - or rather, them.

Those were a pair of familiar eyes that had appeared on Sanae many times. Now that he saw her in person, although her appearance was a little different from what he had imagined, he did not feel strange at all.

Liuli wanted to find every star and constellation that she was familiar with. For some reason, it seemed to make her feel real, or she might as well feel the joy of meeting old friends.

"That's Lyra, my mother said when I was a child"

She softly told Higashino Yu, Sanae and Miko beside her the legend she had heard from her mother when she was a child.

Sanae didn't say anything, she just held her sister's hand and patrolled the stars with her. When was the last time she stood with her like this?
She could hardly remember it anymore.

Gradually, Liuli's eyes began to become a little confused. There seemed to be something she couldn't find in the night sky. Her dark brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" Dong Ye Yu asked softly.

When Liuli heard the voice, she withdrew her gaze from the vast night sky that was twinkling with countless stars and looked down at the ground, staring blankly at the white fox in front of her.

"I seem to have forgotten," Liuli murmured.

As she spoke, her eyes met the gentle eyes of the white fox, and she suddenly understood something in her heart. She smiled and shook her head: "I remembered it again!"

"Can't you see the familiar stars anymore?"

Dong Yeyu rubbed his chin with his claws: "Maybe it's because of the supernova explosion. Some stars suddenly disappear because they died many years ago."

Sanae flew to Higashino Yu and pulled his long and thick fox fur. Death was a topic that could not be touched in front of her sister!

Dong Ye Yu thought that she couldn't help but want to get close to him after seeing his tall figure, so he lowered his head and rubbed it against her.

Idiot! Sanae puffed up her face slightly and hugged Dong Yeyu's fox kiss, "What are you doing?!"

"Don't you want to get close to me?" Dong Ye Yu was stunned for a second.

Sanae took a deep breath and pulled Higashino Yu's fox fur: "Come with me."

The two came to the flat ground further behind the courtyard.

"Stupid knight, I'm just warning you!"

Sanae suppressed her voice and poked the white fox's big black nose in silence.

"Reminder of what?"

Sanae said in a serious tone, "Didn't you say before that we can't mention the word death in front of the deceased?!"

So that's what you're worried about?

Dong Ye Yu thought about his previous thoughts and immediately felt his ears getting hot. Now he was worried - but he couldn't blame himself for this. None of the girls he met before disliked him when they saw his true form.

This is human nature.

However, the hair was blocking her view and she couldn't see it. Thinking of this, Dong Ye Yu shamelessly explained.

"Don't worry. Liuli has gone through death and is now reborn, or on the road to rebirth. This is all she has to go through. If she can't even get over these knots in her heart, how can she cultivate to the Yang God realm?"

"Practice is not about leveling up or killing monsters. Every step forward is a self-examination and every step requires the sublimation of the soul. You can't become an immortal just by having magic power."

"She's stronger than you think."

"That's what she said." Sanae frowned and thought, still feeling a little uneasy.

The moonlight spread over the grass tips and spread out a silver blanket around the two of them. Sanae's illusory body was shrouded in starlight, and her white princess dress fluttered slightly.

She sighed, leaning on the white fox's front legs, the stars flickering in her pure eyes.

The lights of the Ayase-Sakashita residential area crisscrossed and condensed into an amber river on the ground, flowing across her frosted eyelashes.

For some reason an idea popped up in Dongye Yu's mind and he sneaked over.

Her eyelashes trembled and she closed them slightly, seeming not to notice.

Foxes are masters of concealment. Dong Yeyu was very confident and kissed her.

"Fuck!"

Sanae didn't have time to react before she was sucked into the fox's big mouth: "Ugh!!!"

Dong Ye Yu was stunned and looked down, watching the girl struggling while holding his fox mouth.

broken.

"Go Menase!"

Higashino Yu opened his mouth and ran back, only to feel something pulling his hair. When he turned around, he saw Sanae's cold, murderous face.

"The highest principle of the Mirror Moon Code is not to offend the Moon Witch. Have you thought about how you want to die?"

Dong Yeyu swallowed his saliva and said, "Can I not die?"

"What do you think?"

The Moon Witch narrowed her eyes slightly and moved around in the white fox's long and dense fur like a large flea.

"There! Not there!"

Dong Yeyu screamed and jumped into the air, running around everywhere.

Sanae yelled in shame and anger: "What the hell are you yelling about?!"

Liuli leaned against the window and smiled, feeling that the world is impermanent. If she had seen this scene when she was still a ghost, she would probably have become a Buddha, right?

Yuko's voice came from the corridor. It seemed that dinner was ready and the aroma of food was already wafting in the air.

Several people responded quickly. Dong Yeyu said a ceasefire and carried Sanae to press the cloud. Sanae pulled his hair and said, "You want to stop?!"

As Higashino Yu apologized, he caught a glimpse of the Ayase-Sakanaka train dragging a band of light that seemed to be passing through the streets and alleys, like a glowing silver shuttle weaving countless ordinary days and nights into a galaxy.

There seems to be more light in the Ayase-cho residential area. Maybe many people from other places are coming to Tokyo to pursue their dreams?
Most of the windows were lit, and Dong Yeyu seemed to be able to see the scene inside: the housewife was stir-frying sizzling ginger-braised pork, the office worker was unbuttoning his tie that left red marks on him, and the children returning from cram school were stepping on the spots of light cast by the street lamps.

On the winding mountain road of Ayase-zaka, several pairs of young men and women were walking and snuggling together. They seemed to be talking about something, and the night wind carried all these brief laughter and leisure away into the distance.

Dong Ye Yu did not feel envious because he was no longer alone.

The aroma of miso soup brought out by Grandma Tomoko spread over the eaves, urging the few people. Higashino Yu swallowed his saliva, came back to his senses, stared at Sanae's cold eyes, and then looked back at Ayase Sakashita.

Suddenly, it’s not a bad thing that humans cannot live forever in a certain sense - otherwise, who would bend down to pick up these mundane things like broken diamonds?
