The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

So, she said.

"Why not just ask Xiao Xiang?"

"We have to take care of Saigū's feelings, and Xiaoxiang's too," Lin Ye said.

Lord Shenzi agreed with Lin Ye’s point of view.

"Indeed, I was rude." Lingshanfang apologized straightforwardly.

"Why not ask other witches? They might know something." Lin Ye said.

If we look at it dialectically, groups that love to gossip can also become a source of intelligence.

Shen Zi couldn't help but think of the group of little priestesses at the girls' tea party. She really didn't want to come into contact with this group of fanatical people in a strange place, but for Lord Saigū and Xiao Xiang.

She gritted her teeth and decided to sacrifice herself.

Lin Ye noticed the determination on Shen Zi's face and asked with concern.

Shen Zi waved her hand, indicating that Lord Shen Zi would handle it, and she was the first to leave the discussion group.

"Did the Son of God discover anything?" Chiyo looked at the little fox's back and asked curiously.

"Maybe."

Afterwards, Hayashino and the ghost dog team asked other shrine maidens without telling Kitsunayagiya and Asase Hibiki.

Kitsunesai said he was not feeling well, so he dismissed his attendants and told them not to pay attention to Chiyo and the others' actions. He allowed them to pass, and then returned to his room and did not come out again.

Asase Hibiki also locked himself in the room.

After some inquiries, Lin Ye and his team did not get any useful information.

Chiyo recalled the scene when she met Kitsunayori. The other party had a faint smile on his face as usual, but Chiyo, who had been friends for a thousand years, could tell that it was a fake smile.

Asase Hibiki happened to be next to Kitsaigu at the time. Chiyo knew this little shrine maiden, who was one of Reizenbo's disciples and Nagamasa's junior sister.

After all, her own child is learning martial arts at Lingshanfang, so as a mother, Chiyo has to pay some attention to him.

Asase Hibiki's realm is lower than Kitsune Saigiya's. Her eyes were red and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Chiyo asked with concern, but Kitsaigong shook his head without explaining why.

Kitsusai Palace wanted to calm down for a while and find a time to tell his monster friends.

Compared to Chiyo and Reizenbo, the chief priest of Kitsusaigumi Shrine has the deepest connection with humans.

Just as Lingshanfang was dejected, Chiyo was unwilling to give up, and Linye fell into deep thought.

The Son of God has returned with the truth.

But her mood was low.

After Lin Ye's gentle comfort, Shen Zi told her the information she got from the little witch.

When Kitsunayaguni received the obituary, one of the young miko was present, and she heard what the chief priest told Asase Hibiki.

Haruka passed away.

Lin Ye knew that Haruka was Xiaoxiang's grandmother. When he chatted with Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang would tell him about herself and her grandmother with nostalgia.

"Haruka... I see. I should have noticed it earlier." Reizenbo was secretly annoyed.

Reizenbo and Asase Haruka have known each other for a short time and their relationship is average. She is careless and doesn't care about the length of human life. Now, Haruka is over seventy years old.

Chiyo patted Reizenbo's shoulder to comfort him.

Next comes the problem.

The death of a friend and the death of a loved one.

How to comfort.

Among those present, Lin Ye was the most experienced. He often worked with Hu Tao to comfort the emotionally agitated families of the deceased.

It depends on the person.

Based on Lin Ye's understanding of Kitsunesai and Asase Hibiki, the former is not that fragile and has experienced many separations. In fact, she can adjust herself. Going back now will only add to her troubles.

As for Xiao Xiang, her parents died early and she was raised by her grandmother, and they have a deep affection for each other.

If no one provides timely guidance, it is likely to leave psychological trauma and cause depression for a long time.

There shouldn't be too many people providing comfort. I think Lingshanfang and Linye are suitable.

Reizenbo is Asase Hibiki's master, and this is the time when she needs to show her master's care.

Lin Ye is treated as an older brother by Asase Hibiki, so it is a good thing to have someone who is slightly older than him to comfort him.

Chiyo and Kamiko were left, and the two of them tried to do something to make Kitsunayamiya and Asase Hibiki happy.

Shen Zi suggested that when you are sad, you should eat delicious food, so why not make fried tofu together.

Chiyo touched Shenzi's little head and praised softly, "Shenzi has grown up too."

Changzheng, whom Chiyo picked up and adopted, was also a human being. He would age and die faster than this demon. I'm afraid the feeling he would have at that time would not be any better than that of Kitsunesaigu now.

There is always a turning point in the cruelty of fate. For example, if Chiyo doesn't see that day, then there won't be any sadness of "the old sending the young away"?

Asase Hibiki's room.

Lin Ye knocked on the door gently.

"Who is it?"

There was a muffled sound coming from behind the door, as if someone had been crying, a little hoarse and a little fragile.

"Me and Lingshanfang."

"Lin Ye and Master?"

Asase Hibiki was surprised.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you? I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry, I can't open the door."

When Ling Shanfang heard what her disciple said, she spoke hurriedly without waiting for Lin Ye to speak.

"Hey Xiao Xiang, if you have anything sad, please tell me. Let's not keep it in our hearts. I am your master. Don't you even trust your master?"

"No." Asase Hibiki said quickly, and then a faint sobbing sound was heard from behind the door.

"I don't want to trouble Master... This is my business."

"I'm your master! What's the trouble?"

Ling Shanfang wanted to break in but was stopped by Lin Ye.

Hayashino told Asase Hibiki in a gentle voice that if she wanted, she could talk through the door as if she was having a conversation, and they promised not to tell anyone.

Asase Hibiki was silent for a while, and finally burst into tears. She cried and expressed how much she missed her grandmother.

Asase Hibiki was a sensible child. Seeing that Kitsunesai was also in a bad mood, she kept suppressing her inner sadness and keeping it in her heart.

When I lose someone, all the little memories of our past interactions come flooding into my mind. I can't stop my tears from flowing. A great sense of emptiness and sadness lingers in my heart, and I can't vent it. I feel dazed, dull and silent.

When I was young, my relatives passed away. At that time, I didn’t understand what death meant, and perhaps I wasn’t afraid of death. I cried at that time, but when I looked back on it as an adult, I felt more melancholy than sadness.

Because you have already experienced it, sadness is also brought by memories.

Sixteen-year-old Asase Hibiki is experiencing the pain of the death of her only relative, and she knows the meaning of death.

Death is a cruel and brutal robber. It never shows mercy to people's pleas and takes away some things that you are used to in your life.

When death comes, you will suddenly realize that the little things you take for granted in your daily life will no longer exist.

This sense of dislocation and loss, as well as the reluctance to leave loved ones, makes people collapse all of a sudden.

The passing of life is always so sudden.

Lin Ye listened patiently to Asase Hibiki's crying and comforted her from time to time. His skilled look shocked Reizenbo, as if the young man had seen a similar scene often.

Meanwhile, Miko and Chiyo are in the kitchen making deep-fried tofu.

The Son of God cannot be relied upon, and she, a fox, cannot hold the handle of the knife.

Chiyo is a demon who is allergic to beans and has a natural aversion to them. She holds the mask with a determined look on her face.

For the sake of making your friends happy, what's there to be afraid of with just some tofu made of beans?

Finally, after Chiyo kept sneezing, it took half an hour to fish a plate of fried tofu out of the pan.

The Son of God looked at the pitch-black tofu dregs and fell into deep thought.

"I'm always cooking at home." The mask covered Chiyo's cheeks, so the blush on her face could not be seen, but the embarrassment of this young mother could be heard from the subtle meaning in her voice.

"Why don't we start over?" suggested the Son of God.

"But... we've run out of tofu."

"..."

Sorry, cook, I shouldn't have said your fried tofu tasted bad...

It turns out that fried tofu is so difficult to make.

Good boy, God's son thought with guilt in his heart.

"Saigong isn't picky about food, right?" Chiyo said vaguely.

“…Lord Saigū is not picky about food.” Shen Zi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"That…"

"The Son of God can't hold the plate."

Chiyo carried her masterpiece and nervously came to Kitsusai Palace's room with Kamiko.

"Sai Palace."

After a while, a calm voice came from inside.

"come in."

Shen Zi, who was standing at Chiyo's feet, leaned forward and pushed the sliding door open. After it opened, he and Chiyo looked at each other from top to bottom.

Enlightenment has already appeared in the eyes of both of them.

……

Hu Zhaigong looked at the black thing in front of her. She thought that it was still summer and not winter yet, so there was no need for coal.

"This is tofu...deep-fried, Chiyo-sama..." said Kamiko.

"Please don't say any more." Chiyo stopped Shenzi from continuing. She covered her face. She was really socially dead. She said in a self-destructive voice, "I can't cook, but I can actually make wine. Saigong, do you want to drink some Hiyakura wine? I can also make water and fire from winter."

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhaigong chuckled.

"It's not shameful not to be able to cook. You are His Highness's hatamoto general. Killing the enemy is your duty. Cooking is the job of the chef."

Chiyo put her hand down, and the demon girl blushed. She particularly agreed with her friend's point of view.

Kitsunesai picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up a piece, but before Chiyo could shout that it must be unpalatable, an embarrassing thing happened.

Because the tofu was fried too finely, it broke into pieces when Huzaigong lightly picked it up.

Fox Palace:?

Chiyo:!

I wanted to have a warm scene, forget it, Hu Zhaigong thought.

She put down her chopsticks naturally and asked.

"Where's Xiao Xiang?"

"Lin Ye and Master Lingshanfang went to look for Xiao Xiang." said the Son of God.

"Yeah. Xiao Xiang and Haruka have a good relationship. I should have thought that Haruka entrusted Xiao Xiang to me because her time was up." Kitsusai Palace whispered.

"Saigū..."

"I appreciate your deep-fried tofu."

Her pipe was placed next to Kitsai-no-Miya. She reached out and touched it. She could still vividly remember how Haruka had advised her to smoke less in the past, but when she thought about it carefully, it had been decades.

"Since I consider her a friend, I am ready to part ways with her."

"As for Xiao Xiang, Ling Shan Fang doesn't know how to comfort him, but Lin Ye... should be able to do it."
