Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"No, I only took human form and emerged from the mountains at the end of the Warring States period, but the books you've read may contain information about me."

"However, most folk tales and myths are passed down orally from people at the time with only a superficial understanding, and then later generations have processed and adapted them for certain purposes. Accumulated slander can become a mountain, and rumors can become a tiger. It's best not to believe too much of the stories written by laymen or folk tales." Su Jiu smiled mysteriously and continued.

"Let's put that aside for now and give a formal introduction. I am a nine-tailed fox who crossed the sea to this place a thousand years ago. My surname is Su, I come from Qingqiu, and I am the ninth in my family. I am currently temporarily managing this territory on behalf of the shrine's master, the god Yujia. You can call me Su Jiu, or you can call me sister."

"I know, Sister Su Jiu..." Qin Jing called out. She was more than two thousand years older than her, but she was still better than a man-eating monster.

Su Jiu then introduced several powerful demons to Qin Jing.

"The one drinking and eating meat like that is Qiongqi, the strongest and fastest guy among us."

"Hey kid, wanna have a drink?"

The old man leisurely sipping his wine is Ōtengu, a very famous yokai in this country.

"Young friend, hello. I've heard you enjoy reading. Are you familiar with classical Chinese military strategy? If you have any insights, you'd be happy to discuss them with us."

The guy who's clinging to your classmate and looks really bad is the Ubume.

"Shizuka-chan, like Hana-chan, come sit here with me, hehehe." Ubume sat Hanako on her right thigh, patting her left thigh.

And this one sitting on a snail and clam with a completely innocent look is the Dragon Girl Jiao Tu.

"Hello, Xiaojing, this is very sweet and delicious."

After walking around, Qin Jing had greeted the great monster here. Although it was dangerous in many ways, she was certain that the monster was not incapable of communication and did not intend to harm her or Xiao Kui.

"You don't seem too surprised," Su Jiu asked Qin Jing.

"I guessed some of it, but I was really startled by the Guhuoniao." Qin Jing said truthfully. After all, when Qiongqi captured him, it showed its bull horns and tiger head, and Da Tengu had a red-faced, long-nosed mask on its belt. He had also witnessed Jiao Tu's amazing abilities.

The Guhuoniao, in legends, is a goddess, an ancient monster seemingly related to the Nine-Phoenix, also known as the "Ghost Cart." She is said to be a woman when she takes off her feathered robes and a bird when she puts them on, and is rumored to abduct and adopt infants. In modern times, she has earned the title of war goddess among Africans.

But judging from her current behavior, she's just an incurable child-lover.

"Really? Looks like you've read the book I gave you carefully." Su Jiu seemed quite satisfied with Qin Jing's answer.

"Huh? Did you give me the Book of Strange Monsters?" Qin Jing asked in surprise.

"Would you like to see other chapters?" Su Jiu blinked and asked with a smile.

"I want to see!" Qin Jing's eyes lit up, and he blurted out reflexively. He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. He hadn't even figured out what the other party was up to, but the other party had already discovered his desire, which was equivalent to giving the other party a bargaining chip.

But the new Classic of Mountains and Seas was truly fascinating, and he had long wanted to read it. The Classic of Mountains and Seas was a massive work encompassing all things in nature, so the new Classic of Mountains and Seas couldn't possibly be just a book about monsters and strange creatures. However, despite his inquiries everywhere, he couldn't find any sequels to the new Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"Let's eat first. If a child doesn't eat properly, he'll grow up to be short and ugly, like an underdeveloped eggplant." Su Jiu stood up with a mischievous smile.

"What exactly do you want from me?" Qin Jing shouted.

"For example... becoming the king who saves the world... or something like that." Su Jiu said jokingly, then raised her glass and joined Qiongqi's drinking party.

Seeing that Su Jiu was full of lies and had no intention of telling him the truth, Qin Jing pouted in frustration. He really didn't like this kind of monster older sister.

Despite his many questions and a distracted mind, he still ate his dinner properly, after all, he didn't want to end up looking like a deflated eggplant.

By the time we finished dinner, the moon was already high in the sky.

Section 43.43 Taking a bath and the cunning old fox.

The banquet continued, but it was getting late. Xiao Kui, who had been excited all night, started to yawn. It was time for the children to take a bath and go to bed.

Led by a fox spirit dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, Qin Jing and Xiao Kui walked towards a building separate from the dormitory building: a Japanese-style public bathhouse.

Although he couldn't find out the other party's purpose, Qin Jing relaxed after confirming that the fox witch and her companions meant no harm to the three of them. He was a carefree person by nature, and since he knew there was no danger, he decided to take things as they came.

Since he came into this life, he has never seen the night sky high in the mountains again. At night, the mountains are pitch black and shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see anything below.

But as soon as you look up at the sky, you are captivated by the starry sky and the colorful, dazzling Milky Way. The world suddenly becomes vast, and you feel closer to the universe than ever before. The universe is boundless, and humans and monsters are so insignificant. The depression in your heart disappears.

There were multiple open-air hot springs on the mountain, and each room was connected to a hot spring with different effects. If they hadn't been kidnapped, this would have been their dream vacation.

Xiao Kui was taken by Su Jiu to take a bath and change clothes.

Qin Jing, meanwhile, found herself inexplicably surrounded.

"Oh right! Xiaojing... do you want to change your clothes... slurp slurp..." Guhuoniao picked up a yukata and walked over to ask.

"Shizuka, let's change your clothes! They'll definitely suit you!" Hanako called out, helping to lift up the hem of the yukata.

If you hadn't been drooling, I might have gladly accepted it—why would a beautiful woman be a pervert? And you, Hana-chan, not only did your face turn bright red, but even your nostrils flared up! Anyway, how did you two suddenly become so close over just one meal?

"...I really don't have any clean clothes...but I don't need help with the men's bathrobe!" Qin Jing looked at the two women, whose eyes were shining and who were overly eager, with a conflicted expression. She took the robe and quickly walked towards the door with the men's symbol.

I was worried about the awkward situation of mixed bathing, but the hot spring room was surprisingly thoughtful, with separate baths for men and women. It seems that watching the idol dramas of that natural-looking girl, Jiao Tu, was really worth it.

"Wait, let me help!"

"Me too!"

"No need, it's just a regular yukata, I can put it on myself. Besides, women are not allowed here!" Qin Jing refused, slamming the door shut and ruthlessly blocking the others from entering. Why are all these pathetic people around him?

"Why distinguish between boys and girls when it comes to kids! Just let them bathe together!"

Hanako and Ubume, both devastated, knelt on the ground outside the door.

"Oh, right, Huajiang, let Mom... no, let me help you change your clothes."

"I'm sorry, Auntie, but I refuse! I don't think it's right to use the guise of helping others to satisfy one's own desires!" Miss Hanako, who had been eavesdropping on the paper door to no avail, stood up, turned around, and answered with a serious expression.

"Eh eh eh!!!" Miss Guhuoniao knelt down again, pounding the ground in anguish.

'If you truly want to apologize, showing your belly is common sense! Why can't you understand that? What's wrong with monsters being a little perverted? Following your true nature, maintaining yin and yang balance, is the only way for the world to be harmonious!'

Miss Hanako didn't have time to pay attention to that right now. She grabbed her yukata and rushed to the women's hot spring room next door. She still had hope!

Unfortunately, the interior is well-designed; instead of the suggestive bamboo or wooden partitions, there is a tall, thick stone wall that blocks any romantic notions. The hot spring water gushes out from a magnificent dragon head on the wall, completely separating the men's and women's hot springs into different areas.

The maker, Ms. Jiao Tu, was still happily enjoying desserts and fruit wine at the banquet, a natural smile of happiness on her face.

There are indeed separate hot springs for men and women here, but when Jing arrives, a separate space will appear in the hot spring house called the "Jing's Hot Spring Room." Whichever hot spring Jing enters, the sign on that hot spring will change from "Men's" or "Women's" to "Jing," and no one else will be able to use it.

At this moment, Qin Jing was soaking in the hot spring alone. He never expected that he could have this wonderful place all to himself. The water level was just right so that he could sit down with his head above the water. It was pure bliss.

Half an hour later, Qin Jing, feeling refreshed after soaking in the hot spring, changed into a bathrobe and came out.

“Yuyuyu…” The snow doll following behind floated out, its body seemingly shrinking due to the heat, but its fluorescent glow became even brighter.

"You! You! Did you see that?!" Guhuoniao ran over and stared at the snow doll, asking.

“Yuyu…?” The innocent snow doll nodded, then shook her head, not quite understanding what the Guhuoniao meant.

"How envious I am!" Guhuoniao gritted her teeth and banged her head against the wall.

Ten minutes later, the group returned after changing their clothes.

"Nini! Nini! Look! The kimono that the shrine maiden took me to change into! Isn't it beautiful!" Wearing a pink yukata with butterfly patterns, Aoi jumped around happily, twirling in front of Shizuka.

"It's so cute! It suits you perfectly, Aoi." Qin Jing looked at her younger sister, who had changed so much, and expressed her approval and appreciation for Su Jiu's taste in choosing a yukata for Aoi.

"Hehe! Nini is super cute too! It suits you perfectly! You look just like a doll." Xiao Kui was so happy to receive the praise that she started dancing and twirling around. She also praised her brother's outfit without reservation, as if there was no one more handsome than her brother in the world.

"Haha... Is that so? Thank you..." Qin Jing said with a helpless dry laugh. Xiao Kui... This isn't really a compliment for her brother.

Why does this seemingly ordinary, plain light blue men's yukata have such an effect when worn by me? Looking at my reflection in the mirror, and seeing the shimmering starlight fluttering down from it, it's truly perplexing.

Whether it was the great demons or the fox spirits in white robes and red hakama serving them, they clapped their hands with shining eyes.

Pfft!

Hanako, who had changed her clothes, covered the lower half of her face as her nose started bleeding uncontrollably. She fell backward, splashing red water into the air.

"Waaaaah! Hanako!"

"yuyuyu!!!"

Qin Jing screamed in surprise, and the snow doll flew around in panic. Su Jiu was amused and sat down to laugh. The room was in complete chaos.

................................

After the farce, the elderly people who had enjoyed their drinks at the banquet came over together.

“The three young ladies are all very cute. Ah, by the way, where is the young master of the Qin family?” The three old men looked around, wondering why they couldn’t see the main figure.

"Hello, sir, this is me," Qin Jing said, stepping forward with a sigh.

The elderly people all wore expressions of surprise, as if they were seeing something rare and precious.

"Oh... what a handsome young master."

"I never imagined that Old Man Wei's relatives could have such a child."

"..." Qin Jing sized up this so-called relative, feeling that he did look somewhat familiar, but that was all. He was probably some wealthy distant relative. Although the inexplicable enthusiasm of these well-dressed elderly people was quite suspicious.

However, knowing that there were other humans here, Qin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she realized that things here seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

"What are you saying! Xiao Jing, Xiao Kui, hello there! A few years ago when we celebrated the New Year in China, I even gave you a big red envelope. I'm your great-uncle." Old Man Wei said with a kind and friendly smile.

"Ah..." Now that you mention it, Qin Jing seems to remember him. This old man seems to be her maternal grandfather's cousin.

"Ah, did your great-uncle invite us to play?" Xiao Kui's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't even speak back then, so how could she possibly remember? But since he was the one who would give her good food and fun things, he couldn't be a bad person.

"Yes, all the delicious food and fun things here are prepared for you, Xiao Kui! Don't worry about school anymore, just have fun these next few days!" Old Man Wei said with a smile.

"Your great-uncle loves you the most!" Xiao Kui ran up and jumped into the old man's arms.

"See that!" Old Man Wei glanced smugly at the other elderly people, then smiled kindly at Kui and Jing and said, "Come, come, your great-uncle has prepared a lot of toys for you."

"Wait! Those toys weren't just bought by you, and we went through a lot of trouble to bring them in!" The old man ran up to him, not to be outdone. "Xiao Kui, I'm your Grandpa Yuan. Your sister Xiao Lin and sister Xiao Ying are my granddaughters, so you're my granddaughter too, Xiao Kui. Here, Grandpa will give you a little trinket."

"Hello, Grandpa Yuan!" Xiao Kui said happily as she accepted the gemstone badge.

"Little Sunflower, I'm your Grandpa An. All these toys were transported here in Grandpa's car. Here, I'll give you a gift too..."

"Thank you, Grandpa An."

…………

Qin Jing, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. No wonder they were businessmen and politicians; they had all mastered the art of catering to others' preferences, seizing every opportunity to get along with people and build relationships.

However, my younger sister seems to be quite shrewd. She's all about sweet talk and cute looks, and she manages to get all the benefits. If she encounters something she doesn't want to do, it seems she plans to resolve it by crying.

Both sides have much to offer in terms of learning!

Section 44.44 Building the Amusement Park and the Ransom

The elderly led the children to another room, where they saw a mountain of toys piled up on the floor. A life-sized polar bear lay on the floor, holding a bunch of doll robots. Action Kamen was stepping on a masked man, and Sailor Moon and magical girls were entangled together to form a toy mountain. At the top was a black and white panda sitting high on it.

The polar bear was surrounded by large boxes containing various toys, including Monopoly-type games and dozens of LEGO sets alone.

"Wow, so many toys!" Xiao Kui ran forward and was immediately overwhelmed by the mountain of toys that was several times her size.

"Haha, actually, your grandpas have already talked to your parents, and Xiaohua's family too. Xiaolin and Xiaoying will also be coming tomorrow. You two can just stay here and have fun for a few days. Don't worry about school, just enjoy yourselves," the old folks said.

"Huh?" Qin Jing raised her head in confusion, wanting to ascertain the true purpose of these old people.

"Yay!" Xiao Kui jumped up excitedly, but soon she fell down again.

"Are you unhappy, Xiao Kui?" the old man asked.

"Because... is it really okay for Aoi to be so happy while ignoring the other classmates?" Aoi said, pointing to her little finger.

The elderly men exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts as political partners of decades.

"Then let's make a big scene and drag everyone around into it!" The old man revealed a sly smile.

"Yes, yes, that's how we old folks can make our efforts and ideas worthwhile."

"Yeah, let's make a big splash and sink Tokyo!"

"Xiao Kui, why don't you invite all your and your brother's friends over? Who would you like to invite to come and play?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Really?" Aoi's eyes lit up as she pointed and read out one name after another. "Then... Sakura-chan, who's good at gymnastics, Syaoran from Hong Kong, and Tomoyo-chan, we have to invite everyone in the class! Oh, right! And Nini's classmate, Hanako-nee is already here, Rin-nee and Sakura-nee are coming too, and that's the really funny Sunohara... and... and..."

Besides her best friends, Xiao Kui certainly wouldn't forget these older sisters. They were always so kind to her, and the pudding and chocolate they gave her were always so delicious…

"..." Qin Jing thought helplessly, "This is loyalty—dragring my friend into a fire pit..."

"Okay! I'll have someone retrieve the information right away, and I'll invite them all over tomorrow. Now you can relax and have fun, right?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Mmm! That's great! The more people, the more fun! I want to go play!" Xiao Kui said with a bright smile.

"..." The monsters watching from the sidelines exchanged glances, startled by the old people's thoughts.

"As expected..." Su Jiu's eyes widened, and she grinned in surprise, revealing her sharp teeth.
