Their commission was suspicious.

"Hanasanori, I really didn't lie to you this time. Chen Luo really does have a fox in his arms, and it's a white fox." Ying's voice contained a hint of urgency.

It was as if he was heartbroken and in pain because he had been wronged.

The old man in Hana-sanri is kind-hearted and can't stand seeing others in a hurry.

Guessing that perhaps Chen Luo really did have a white fox in his arms, she turned her head to look at Chen Luo again.

Although Hana Sanri knew that not every white fox was like Kitsai-no-kami, being able to see a white fox one last time before disappearing was enough to make up for some of her regrets.

However, Chen Luo's hands were still empty.

"flaw!"

"..." This time, Hana Sanri didn't hold back, nor did she dodge. Instead, she directly chopped Ying on the head with a chop.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Hana-sanri didn't know why, even though they had only met twice, Hotaru was so reluctant to let her go.

This is very abnormal, okay?

"Hey, Chen Luo, how come there's really a white fox in your arms?" This time, Ying was genuinely surprised.

"...Although I may seem very easy to fool, using the same trick on me three times is really going too far." Hana Sanri remained unmoved.

Hana Sanri not only didn't want to turn back, she even wanted to laugh... she was so angry.

I may not be human, but you really don't treat me like one!

Three times! Three times! No one would get infected, right?

"Meow meow meow?" A very cute voice rang out behind Hana Sanri.

"A cat?" Upon hearing this voice, Hana Sanri felt a sudden jolt in her heart and involuntarily turned around to look at Chen Luo standing behind her.

Although cats are not foxes and don't have that special meaning, Hana Sanri is indeed curious.

To Hua Sanli's surprise, Chen Luo actually had a fox in his arms this time, although the fox's cry was rather indecent.

"An opening!" A glint flashed in Ying's eyes again, and then he pounced towards Hua Sanli.

Then I gave him a big hug.

"Sigh, you actually hugged Hana Sanri? Why didn't you dodge?" This time, it was Hotaru who was a little surprised.

You're not playing by the rules.

Yingdu was prepared to fail again this time.

"Hana-sanri?" Ying, who was waiting for Hana-sanri's answer, looked up in surprise when she didn't hear a reply and saw Hana-sanri's somewhat dazed eyes.

“It…it is…” Hana Sanri sensed a strangely familiar fluctuation emanating from the white fox in front of her.

Aside from the white fox in front of her, which was somewhat weak and helpless, this white fox fulfilled all of Hana-sanri's impressions of Kosai-gumi.

Therefore, even though Hana Sanri sees the shadow of Kitsai-gumi in him, he still finds it hard to believe.

But how could it be that Lord Foxtsai-no-miya hasn't already... already...

What happened?

Hana Sanri suddenly realized that she seemed to have never known about Lord Kitsai-no-miya's death order.

What he knew was that he was indeed an incarnation of a part of Lord Foxichai Palace's will, and that the huge white fox statue was suspected to have been transformed from Lord Foxichai Palace's true form.

In other words...

“That’s right, this is the Fox Abode Palace. However, due to some injuries, it is currently unable to transform into human form,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and a faint demonic power began to emanate from Huzhaigong. This demonic power allowed Hua Sanli to almost instantly confirm that the white fox in front of her was indeed Huzhaigong, but it seemed to have suffered some kind of injury, so it was temporarily unable to transform into human form.

White foxes can be found everywhere, but demonic power cannot be faked.

"..." Hana Sanri wanted to say something, but found herself speechless.

Should I be excited? Thrilled?

It doesn't seem right, does it?

Hana-sanri's feelings for Kosai-miya are very complex.

On one hand, Hana-san admires everything that Kitsui-miya has done for Inatsume.

On the other hand, she was also troubled by the conflicting relationship between herself and the Fox Palace.

Fox Palace fought for purification throughout her life, but her obsession after death turned into filth (original plot, but the current mindset is similar). Born from filth, Flower Scattering must wait alone for 500 years for a destined person to purify her. Her hesitation and anxiety during this time can be imagined.

"Hehehe..." Just as Hua Sanli was lost in confusion, Chen Luo suddenly burst into a strange laugh.

The laughter caught Hana Sanri's attention.

"Hanasanori, Kitsuri is in my hands now! If you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better let me help you with your training! Otherwise... Hanasanori, you don't want anything to happen to Kitsuri while she's injured, do you?" Chen Luo's words stunned Ying, Hanasanori, and even Kitsuri.

"Please, stop smelling it," Ying complained, pinching her nose.

Chapter 1638 The Fox Spirit Summoning Palace and the Flower Scattering Saga! The Shikigami Ritual is initiated!

"This...this is disrespectful to Lord Fox Palace! No, absolutely not!" Hana Sanri strongly opposed Chen Luo's suggestion.

"Sorry, but don't forget that I have Fox Palace now, and you have no right to refuse!" Chen Luo licked Fox Palace's furry ears in its fox form in front of Hana Sanri.

"..." Hua Sanli glared at Chen Luo angrily.

Hana Sanri has now taken off her mask...

It wasn't that Hana Sanri wanted to pick it; rather, Chen Luo threatened her with the Fox Palace, forcing Hana Sanri to pick it out of desperation.

The mask is now in Ying's hands, and Chen Luo has also successfully obtained a small amount of Originium.

Although Chen Luo lost Hana Sanri's mask, he gained Hana Sanri. Whenever he wanted the mask, he could just have Hana Sanri wear it for a while and then take it off.

Before being purified by the head pat, Chen Luo didn't know what Hana Sanri looked like under her mask, but after the evolution, Hana Sanri's face under the mask fulfilled all of Chen Luo's fantasies about the shrine maiden.

It's really nice.

Moreover, she looks very gentle and caring, clearly a family-oriented, virtuous wife and loving mother.

However, Hana Sanri's expression at the moment can hardly be described as friendly.

“I think this suggestion is great. It will not only allow you to make a living, but also let you follow Fox Palace and take care of him. Isn’t that killing three birds with one stone?” Ying was playing with the mask that Fox Palace had taken off, and at the same time, she responded to Chen Luo’s opinion.

"No! How could you! How could you presume to make me your shikigami before Lord Kitsuri has even given his permission? Although this would allow me to maintain my existence with Lord Kitsuri's power and gain some of his abilities, it would be a great disrespect to Lord Kitsuri!" Hana Sanri strongly objected.

“But the Fox Palace is now in my hands.” Chen Luo’s casual remark broke down Hua Sanli’s psychological defenses.

In ancient times, there was a saying that one could control the emperor to command the feudal lords; now, there is a saying that one could control a fox spirit to order flowers to scatter in the countryside.

Hana Sanri really has absolutely no "resistance" to this method.

"But could you change your request?" Hana Sanri tried to bargain.

"No."

Chen Luo refused Hua Sanli's bargaining.

"But with Lady Kitsuri's intelligence temporarily sealed due to her injury, it's really going too far to establish a shikigami contract with her without her permission. Perhaps Lady Kitsuri doesn't want to see me..." Hana Sanri's face was full of struggle as she spoke about this.

After Chen Luo's explanation, Hua Sanli roughly understood how she came to be; she was actually created by Chen Luo himself.

Moreover, it was indeed selected from a portion of Lord Fox Palace's consciousness.

Of course, Hana Sanri now knows what state Kitsai-no-miya is in... In most cases, he is like a little fox without any intelligence, but special methods can be used to summon Kitsai-no-miya's complete intelligence. This situation will probably need to be maintained for a while longer.

Hana-san's feelings for Kosai-miya are extremely complex, but she also holds him in the highest esteem.

Becoming Lord Fox-Sai-no-Miya's shikigami without his permission was somewhat beyond Hana-San-ri's comprehension.

"Sigh, you're overthinking it. Hmm, Fox Palace actually agrees with this, don't you think?" A soul fire appeared at Chen Luo's fingertip, and as Chen Luo moved his finger up and down, Fox Palace, which was being held in Chen Luo's arms, nodded slightly.

Then, seizing the opportunity, it bit Chen Luo's finger and swallowed the soul fire.

“Look how enthusiastic Fox Palace is. He nodded,” Chen Luo said.

"..."

You call this enthusiasm? You call this nodding?

You can't fool a child like this! You're just taking advantage of Lord Fox Palace before his mind has fully recovered.

Fox Palace, which swallowed the soul fire from Chen Luo's fingertip, was also somewhat helpless.

The form in which the Soul Fire flows into Hu Zhaigong's body is determined by Chen Luo. If Chen Luo wants the Soul Fire to be used to repair and nourish the soul, then it can be used to repair and nourish the soul, and Hu Zhaigong can only passively accept it.

Therefore, even if the soul fire is swallowed, as long as Chen Luo does not use the soul fire as fuel, the Fox Palace cannot reveal its true form.

However, Fox Palace felt that meeting Hana Sanri in this way was actually quite nice.

For a moment, Fox Palace was unsure how to face Hana Sanri, but Fox Palace was not against making Hana Sanri her shikigami.

Therefore, it is quite a good method for Kosaigu to play the role of a little fox who knows nothing, and then sign a shikigami contract with Hana-sanri under such circumstances. After the deed is done, Hana-sanri and Kosaigu can then have a real meeting and conversation.

Although playing the role of a clueless little fox in front of her own clone and accepting Chen Luo's food might make her feel a little awkward, Fox Palace was already used to it, so it was no problem.

"Um... Chen Luo, why don't you summon Lord Fox Abode and let him decide this matter? Otherwise, it would be too presumptuous." Hana Sanri was still somewhat hesitant.

For Hana-sanri, becoming her shikigami without the consent of Lady Kitsuri was still a bit unsettling, even though shikigami are of lower status than their masters.

Among demons, or especially among foxes, this sense of hierarchy stemming from bloodline and social status is extremely pronounced.

Even if Fox Prince himself doesn't really care, it's a real challenge for Hana Sanri.

Fortunately, Hana-san-ri wasn't a proper Inatsume-hime, so she didn't learn any tricks of overthrowing her superiors.

"Don't call me Chen Luo, call me your benefactor!"

"???"

"If I call out, will you summon Lord Foxmonger?" Hana-sanri asked.

Of course.

"My benefactor, thank you for your trouble." Hana Sanri accepted the title quickly without any embarrassment.

"Okay, let's sign the shikigami contract first. After that, I'll summon the fox spirit for you."

"Sigh, shouldn't we summon Lord Foxmonger first to ask for his opinion?"

"Don't worry, Fox Maiden won't object, because she will be in this fox state for quite some time, so she needs someone to serve her."

"And Hana Sanri, have you forgotten something? I'm threatening you right now, do you really have the right to refuse?" Chen Luo said, rubbing the two ears of Kozai-gyu.

Angrily rubbed the fox's head in the Fox Palace!

"Don't let my current amiable demeanor fool you. If you push me too far, I'll unleash my fury on Fox Palace. Hehehe."

Chen Luo's smile now resembles that of a monstrous demon who devours children.

"...Okay. Be gentle." Hana Sanri finally gave in.

Or rather, as long as Fox Palace is in Chen Luo's hands for even a second, then Flower Scattering will be at Chen Luo's mercy.

Chen Luo was extremely adept at using the emperor to command the feudal lords.

"Don't worry, I'll be very gentle." Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Fox Palace that had finally given in.

Ying, sitting to the side, almost chewed the handkerchief in her hand to pieces.

I'm so envious...it's so infuriating!

"So what should we do now? I know a little about the ceremony of becoming a shikigami through a contract, but I don't remember much of it," Hana Sanri asked, her hands tucked into the wide sleeves of her shrine maiden robes.

"Oh, you didn't know?"

"...What do you mean?" Hana Sanri suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Uh... Don't be fooled by my ability to dispel the filth of Inazuma with one hand. I'm actually not very familiar with the various techniques passed down in Inazuma. I can provide some kind of contract, but if you want to become a formal shikigami who can share the power of the Fox Spirit Palace and allow him to maintain your existence... I guess we'll have to find a professional." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

If Chen Luo wanted to obtain the shikigami ritual, he could simply go out and show his face, and then ask the Book of Akasha. It's just a matter of how much time the Book of Akasha would require of Chen Luo for this ritual.

However, the rituals related to Onmyoji in Inazuma are not very well-developed, at least not as well-developed as in some other worlds.

Since he was going to do it, he wanted to do it to the best of his ability. As it happened, Chen Luo knew a professional shikigami player.

"Wait for me for 5 seconds," Chen Luo said while petting the Fox Palace, but Ying and Hua Sanli did not see Chen Luo make any move.

Just as I was wondering, the bar's wind chimes rang.
