Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

Please, please get rid of this awful thing around Hua!

Please help us! Free Hua from the curse!

If you can, please also save me.

Looking at the two who were praying with their eyes closed, Lu Nan couldn't help but sigh. The shrine was so abandoned, and the smell was probably not exactly the same as eerie, but it was probably very similar. Such a stinky smell probably meant that something terrible was going to happen.

It's probably not an evil god, but some kind of wild or false god, or even just a powerful and bizarre entity.

"Worshipping this lousy god is worse than worshipping me," Lu Nan muttered.

After all, the hunters in Flamefire Village would eat some dumplings after accepting a commission and then go out to solve your problems.

See, how correct this is, we're eating dumplings, which are offerings.

If I'm not a god, then who is?

Chapter 140 That really stinks!

The key is that if something happens, it really solves for you, you know? You were just annoyed because you saw the umbrella bird on the roadside having too much fun. As long as you sign the commission form, in less than a day, your Brother Lu will bring your invincible greatsword heroine, Sister Lieyan, to give it a good beating.

It's much better than this damn god who's neither good nor bad.

But why does it seem to be getting smellier?

"Huh? Miko, why have you been praying for so long? What did you wish for?" Yurikawa looked at Yotsuya Miko with a puzzled expression.

Yotsuya Miko silently lowered her hand: "I'm just praying that my college entrance exam score will be high."

"Oh dear! I forgot! I only wished for delicious food every day. No, I have to make a different wish." As she spoke, Baihechuan Hua took out another five yuan and put it into the money box, then closed her eyes and began to pray in a serious manner.

Yotsuya Miko didn't know if this would work, but she hoped it would.

She subconsciously glanced back, and that glance stunned her.

Two more strange creatures appeared beside the one that was harassing Xiaohua. They were fox-headed and human-bodied, dressed in witch's attire, with their hands folded in front of them.

Unlike the black mist surrounding ordinary ghosts, these two newly appeared witch ghosts possessed a strange, indescribable gold color, unlike the gold of the yakuza boss who adopted the cat.

The gold on their bodies was unsettling to look at; it resembled... tangled, wriggling maggots.

Why are there even more strange things happening?

Yotsuya Miko unconsciously stroked the jade gourd on her chest. Could it be that she really had to ask someone to perform a proper exorcism?

Lu Nan noticed that Yotsuya Miko kept looking behind him, but her gaze never settled on him. Combined with the increasingly strong stench around them, Lu Nan immediately understood what was going on.

It seems something strange has appeared.

Just as Yotsuya Miko was hesitating about whether to inform Mr. Lu Nan first, the two fox-headed monsters that had been standing motionless beside the monsters finally made a move.

They lowered their heads slightly and began muttering words that Yotsuya Miko couldn't understand at all. They slowly raised their hands, making strange gestures while muttering.

Finally, the hands suddenly clasped together in front of her, and a bell rang out from somewhere. Yotsuya Miko only saw a flash of golden light, and then the huge, eerie arm exploded instantly.

His arm slammed down next to Yotsuya Miko, whose pupils contracted sharply, and she almost cried out in surprise.

Even though her expression remained calm, there were already small beads of sweat on Yotsuya Miko's face. Despite the blazing midday sun, Yotsuya Miko felt a chill that she couldn't help but feel.

Wei Yi paused for a few seconds, seemingly not understanding what was going on. Everyone was here absorbing energy peacefully, and I didn't care that you two shared your energy with me. But you two bastards betrayed me and tried to take it all for yourself.

The enormous, eerie creature raised its head and roared angrily, the black mist around its body becoming even more active.

But the two fox-headed monsters didn't give it a chance to resist. They simply raised their hands above their heads, then clenched them tightly. The bells rang again, and the huge monster was pressed firmly to the ground by the unknown aura.

The force was so great that it even made the stone slabs on the ground crack. Logically speaking, the other two should have reacted to such a loud noise.

But when Yotsuya Miko looked at Lu Nan and Yurikawa Hana, the two seemed no different. Lu Nan's expression had darkened, while Yurikawa Hana was still praying with her eyes closed, as if she had many wishes to say.

In Yotsuya Miko's eyes, the two fox heads strangely joined forces to press the huge, long-tongued strange creature to the ground, but even Yotsuya Miko could tell that the two fox heads were not having an easy time.

The arm kept pressing down, and the clenched fist trembled, but the long tongue seemed to be trying to stand up, though it looked like it was in great pain.

Yotsuya Miko suddenly felt that the two fox heads were strange. Could they be the deities enshrined at the Sanko-no-Shrine? Were they now responding to her wish and exorcising evil spirits?

If that's really the case, then you must keep going!

The very next second after Yotsuya Miko made her promise, the long, eerie tongue suddenly stretched out even longer, and with a sweeping motion, it strangely cleaved one of the fox heads in two.

The other one also fell victim to the devil's clutches, its face struck by the long tongue and splattered into countless flying rotten leaves.

To Yotsuya Miko's bewildered gaze, the long-tongued creature roared eerily to the sky, seemingly venting its frustration. Not satisfied with that, it lowered its head, used its long tongue to pick up the remaining half of the fox-headed creature's corpse from the ground, and stuffed it into its mouth to chew.

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. If she sent Runan-senpai, would he also face the same danger? What if Runan-senpai also...?

Yotsuya Miko shivered and gripped the commission form tightly in her hand.

She cannot and will not trade one person's safety for another's; that is not something she should do.

Perhaps noticing that Yotsuya Miko looked unwell, Lu Nan walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did something just happen?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her head: "No, there's nothing there."

Lu Nan looked at her quietly.

No way! The feeling here just now was like two little farts fighting a big fart. Then the big fart got a bit smashed and started leaking stench like crazy. What's worse, the big fart might have blown the two little farts up.

Because Lu Nan could clearly feel that the strange smell was so strong at a certain time that it made him roll his eyes.

Who understands the charm of that moment?

It's like having a roommate who doesn't like washing socks. He buys a lot of socks, and after wearing them for a few days, he throws them in a small box. Then he takes out a new pair to wear. After a few weeks, when he really has no socks to wear, he opens the small box, takes out the oldest pair, and wears it inside out.

It was the height of summer, and you, in your dorm room, caught the scent that wafted out when he opened the box.

That's pretty much how Lu Nan felt back then; it was fucking awful.

However, it's easy to guess why Yotsuya Miko didn't want to tell Lu Nan—she was probably afraid he might be in danger.

Lu Nan wasn't bragging about how awesome he was. He had always used Flame to deal damage in previous hunts, but because of his rich experience and the physical qualities he had developed through hard work, Lu Nan still believed that he should be able to put up a fight.

If all else fails, we can use the cat cart. That little guy, Dazed, pushes the cat cart incredibly fast; it only takes a few seconds to get from the dragon's mouth to the camp.

I'll come back and beat you when I'm fully healed. Let's see if you're still alive then.

"Jianzi, don't worry about me. Just press the button if anything happens," Lu Nan said earnestly.

Although the words were simple, the momentum they conveyed seemed genuine.

Chapter 141 Count Me In

Yotsuya Miko looked at Lu Nan's serious eyes and couldn't help but believe him a little, but when she thought of the strange and miserable state of the two fox heads just now, she shook her head repeatedly.

Lu Nan frowned: "Why are you being so fussy? Anyway, I have a way to make it appear directly. The one you have is just to help me, so your worries about me are actually useless."

"When the time comes, you just press the button, then pretend you can't see anything. Let Baihechuan pull you away and find a chance to blindfold her. Then Daimiao and I will go up and give her a righteous beating. You understand?"

Yotsuya Miko nodded silently.

"Great, watch the timing. If this thing doesn't react much, just wait for it to reveal its back, and then I'll send it straight to my stomach." Lu Nan rubbed his hands excitedly, feeling as if a few teeth had returned after a long time.

Although Yotsuya Miko didn't understand what Lu Nan meant by "one step to the stomach," she still nodded.

At this moment, Yurikawa Hana finished praying and put her hands down contentedly: "Oh dear, I made so many wishes, should I put in another five dollars?"

As she spoke, she was about to take out another five yen from her wallet, but Yotsuya Miko pressed her hand down: "No need, the gods won't care about such a small thing, so you don't need to give money."

Just kidding, even if Yotsuya Miko is stupid, she would know that something is wrong with what is enshrined in this shrine. Throwing incense and money is definitely useless, and it would be better to just throw it in the water and hear the sound.

Yurikawa Hana agreed with Yotsuya Miko's statement. At this moment, she was more focused on the torii gate under the setting sun, because it looked exceptionally clear against the light and carried a sense of solemnity.

"Wow! This looks great! This is perfect for posting on WeChat Moments!" Yurikawa Hana exclaimed excitedly, holding up her phone. "Senior, Miko! How about we take a picture together?"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't see what was supposed to be beautiful, because from her perspective, the huge, long tongue eerily blocked the entire torii gate.

Neither of them refused.

Yurikawa Hana and Lunan squeezed Yotsuya Miko in the middle, and Lunan also handed the doe cat to Yotsuya Miko's arms. Although the little guy had been lulled to sleep by the smell, he still had to make an appearance.

"Wait, let me adjust the angle. Backlighting is really difficult to shoot." Yurikawa Hua pressed the buttons on her phone with a troubled expression.

Yotsuya Miko sighed inwardly. As expected, she had let this guy develop for too long. Had he already become this strong?

Is it really only Mr. Lu Nan who can solve this problem?

She glanced over instinctively, only to be surprised to find another incredibly tall figure behind that strange, long-tongued creature.

It resembled a fox but wasn't entirely a fox, and its body, like the two fox leaders before it, shimmered with a strange golden light.

To Yotsuya Miko's horrified gaze, the eerie sheep's snout split open like flower petals, then suddenly enveloped the long, grotesque head of the tongue.

The black mist around the long-tongued monster suddenly surged even larger. Its long tongue swept back, deflecting the petal-like mouth that was enveloping it, and at the same time, it jumped away, presenting itself as the opposite side of the giant fox monster.

Neither side made any rash moves, but simply kept their eyes on each other.

Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips. Could this strangely shaped thing really be a god?

Just then, Yurikawa finally adjusted the angle and excitedly shouted, "Alright, alright, Miko, look at the camera, it's about to start!"

Jianzi turned her head and looked at the phone's camera.

"Three, two, one!"

At the very last moment of the countdown, the two colossal objects collided violently, as if by prior arrangement!

The photo freezes, showing Yurikawa Kaname laughing, Lu Nan with her face flushed from holding her breath, the doe who has been coaxed to sleep, and Yotsuya Miko with wide, surprised eyes on the screen.

Before them lay a peaceful scene, while behind them raged a raging sea. Two colossal creatures relentlessly attacked each other, their ghostly aura and golden light flashing incessantly.

Although it's unclear what exactly is going on, it seems like the situation is in their favor right now.

After taking the photos, Yuri Kawana was busy editing them to post on her WeChat Moments, completely unaware that the two people behind her had already huddled together.

"What's going on now?" Lu Nan asked curiously in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, but it seems pretty good." Yotsuya Miko glanced at the two people behind her who were locked in fierce combat.

Lu Nan didn't understand what "seems pretty good" meant, but it must be a good thing.

Just as Yotsuya Miko was about to call Yurikawa Hana to leave together, a pile of rotten leaves appeared on the ground in front of her after she took only one step.

The two fox heads that had been blown apart earlier crawled out of the rotten leaves and stood in front of Yotsuya Miko.

Yotsuya Miko's expression froze, her eyes staring blankly ahead, as if she were daydreaming.
