I'm tied to Athena.

It was not until the sky was completely bright that she slowly withdrew her gaze, hung the amulet around her neck, and prepared for today's performance.

However, in a place that Ah Yu didn't notice, a pair of scarlet pupils glowing red were staring at her...

Chapter 423 Pawnshop

A year ago, Huang saw the news of the destruction of the world from fate, so Li Yun could guess that the original direction of the world was unchanged, but a year ago, an existence that changed the direction of the world appeared.

If this guess is correct, then Ayu is very suspicious.

The existence that destroyed the world appeared a year ago, and Ayu also appeared a year ago. Is this a coincidence? No, there is no such coincidence in the world.

Li Yun originally thought that A Yu had nothing to do with Tamamonomae of the Moon World, but now it seems that the other party has an unclear relationship with Tamamonomae of the Moon World.

So the amulet that Li Yun gave her was not that simple.

It is an amulet that combines surveillance, protection and transmission.

As long as Ayu still carries it with him, Li Yun can keep track of Ayu's situation at any time.

Although doing this may feel a bit unfair to Ayu, it is just in case.

Soon, Li Yun left Kanagawa.

To the east of Kanagawa is Chiba, and the Chiba of this era is much more powerful than Kanagawa.

In ancient times, Chiba was composed of three countries: Awa Province, Kazusa Province, and Shimoussa Province. Unlike the recently emerging Kanagawa, Chiba Prefecture is an old and powerful country, and the forces within it are more complex and diverse.

After Li Yun arrived here, he took a short rest and then continued to gather information on the street.

For example, it just appeared here a year ago.

Unfortunately, as an old region, there are so many things that have appeared and disappeared in Chiba Prefecture that ordinary people have no need to remember them.

"Can't we get any information here?" After half a day without any results, Li Yun returned to the inn to rest. Although he could use his divine power to investigate, judging from the situation on A Yu's side, even if there was an incarnation of Tamamonomae here, it would probably be disguised as an ordinary person, and his investigation would most likely be useless.

"Gu, gu, gu." The little fox sat on the wooden table in a very human way, holding the teacup with its front paws and licking the tea in the cup bit by bit.

"You little guy, you seem to be carefree." Li Yun gently rubbed the little fox's head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Today's Chiba Prefecture is not as developed as it is today, but its prosperity is no less than that of modern times. In fact, the ancient atmosphere in the air is more atmospheric than those cities built with steel.

"Coo coo." As if sensing that Li Yun was worried, the little fox immediately climbed onto Li Yun's shoulder and rubbed his cheek affectionately.

"I can now understand why some people like to keep pets." Li Yun, who felt somewhat comfortable being rubbed by the little fox's fur, tapped the little fox's head. Anyone would like a pet that can understand its owner's thoughts and can comfort the owner at any time.

The little fox narrowed his eyes and seemed very happy.

But suddenly, it seemed to sense something, and its big black eyes shifted to the shop opposite the inn.

"Coo, coo!" The little fox's expression became delighted, and he tugged at Li Yun's collar, pointing a paw at the pawn shop opposite.

"What's wrong, little guy?" Li Yun's attention was attracted by the little guy's sudden action, and his eyes fell on the pawn shop.

"Coo, coo, coo."

"You mean, there is something there?" The little fox narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't speak, he knew how to express himself.

"Coo coo!" The little fox nodded immediately.

The intimate behavior between the little fox and A Yu last night emerged in my mind.

The little guy is a fox, and A-Yu is also a fox, so this sense of closeness can be explained.

If the little fox remembered the smell of Ayu last night, and now smells the smell of Ayu...

His eyes gradually brightened, and Li Yun couldn't help but rub the little fox, "Well done, Xiao Yuyi."

Carrying the little fox, Li Yun left the room and quickly walked into the pawn shop opposite.

"Hey, sir, what would you like to pawn?" As soon as you enter the pawnshop, a waiter immediately smiled.

"Waiter, is your boss here?"

"Um....guest, what do you want to do with our boss?"

The waiter looked a little embarrassed. If he wasn't given a reason, he probably wouldn't let Li Yun in.

Without a good reason, Li Yun could only use some tricks to make him temporarily unconscious.

After knocking the waiter unconscious, Li Yun walked directly into the VIP reception hall inside the pawnshop.

Unlike the ordinary pawn shop outside, this place is like an exhibition.

Antique pottery of all sizes was placed on wooden shelves, and paintings and calligraphy were displayed undisguisedly.

Although Li Yun didn't know much about antiques, judging from the aura emanating from these calligraphy and paintings and pottery, each one of them was worth a fortune.

If we were to sell all this stuff in the room... No, I don't think anyone could eat up so many treasures.

Who on earth can get so many good things?

"Hehehe, why did I hear magpies calling on the branches this morning? Turns out a distinguished guest is coming." A voice exactly the same as Ayu's came from inside the house. A pair of white hands pushed open the door curtain, and a woman who looked exactly like Ayu walked out.

However, it is different from the singer Ayu's outfit.

This woman is wearing a simple kimono... No, it can't be called a kimono, it should be called a yukata.

Li Yun noticed that there were drops of water on her white neck and the wooden shoes she was wearing were also a little wet.

If I'm not mistaken, this woman was taking a bath just now.

But....super tempting.

The bathrobe, which was a little wet due to the water droplets, was tightly attached to the woman's body. Her chest, hips, and legs, the perfect curves were fully displayed in front of Li Yun. And her body, which was a little red because of the hot water, was like a peach, making people want to take a bite.

Unlike A Yu, the nominal singer, the woman in front of him was more like a singer.

A singer who seduces men all the time.

Tempting, yet deadly!

"I'm sorry for trespassing without the master's permission." Li Yun pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Was the master just...cleaning himself? Although I think my actions were a bit violent, I was definitely very gentle. Would the master know I came in even inside?"

"Besides, why did the master call me a distinguished guest? If the master hadn't shown up, I might have taken everything here."

"Haha, I've been here for so many years, whether it's high officials or common people, I've seen too many, so I can still tell whether they are bad guys or distinguished guests."

The woman sat down at the wooden table in the hall and extended her hand as a gesture of invitation.

Li Yun narrowed his eyes and sat opposite her

Chapter 424: Crazy Acting

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gucci, you can call me A-Gu or A-Chi."

A reflective white palm was stretched out in front of Li Yun. Both the color and shape were enough to drive an office worker crazy.

Li Yun held the little hand, and the first thing he felt was softness, and then slipperiness.

This is definitely not a hand that can be maintained by humans!

"No need, I can just call you Boss." After shaking hands for a while, Li Yun let go and introduced himself: "My name is Li Yun, Boss, just call me Li Yun."

"Mr. Li Yun, are you here to pawn something for me?"

"No, it was because this little guy insisted on dragging me in, so I came in."

Li Yun directly put the blame on the little guy on his shoulder. This was an excuse he had thought of long ago. Moreover, it was also a good opportunity to test the relationship between Gucci and Ayu.

"Oh, what a cute little thing." Gucci felt a little happy from the bottom of her heart, with the same expression as Ayu had when she saw Xiao Yuyi. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Xiao Yuyi, but suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Yun, I was a little rude." She took back her hand, her eyes still full of love, "Can I touch the child?"

"Of course, please feel free to do as you please, Master."

Gucci immediately reached out and touched Xiao Yuyi, and Xiao Yuyi did not resist and let Gucci touch it all over.

"It seems that this little guy really likes to be the boss." Li Yun said with some sigh: "It rarely gets so close to other people."

"Does the child have a name?"

"Yes, Yugoriko, Yugoriko."

"Yuyuko?" After chewing on the name carefully, a smile finally appeared on Gucci's beautiful face. "It's a good name. The little guy should like this name very much."

"Well, I don't understand what this little guy is thinking, but since he didn't object to the name, he must like it very much."

"Speaking of which, has the boss been here for a long time?" Suddenly, Li Yun pretended to be casual and changed the topic to Gucci.

As Xiao Yuyi attracted her attention, she didn't seem to think too much and blurted out, "Well, I have been here for a long time, five years, or ten years, hehe, I can't even remember."

"Ten years? The boss is probably lying to me. He is only in his twenties, how could he have been here for ten years?"

"Mr. Li Yun is really sweet-talking, but ordinary girls get married in their teens and become mothers at the age of 20. I have been here for ten years, so it is normal, right?"

That's true. In ancient times, young boys and girls got married very early. Many people became mothers at the age of 20, or even 17 or 18.

Young girl and married woman, the two attributes are directly integrated.

"Then why didn't the boss choose to get married and have children? With the boss's looks, it would be easy for her to find a good family."

"Haha, I used to have no trouble finding someone, but now that I'm old and ugly, who would be interested in me?" Sadness crept onto his face. Gucci held the little fox and gently stood up, running his hands over each antique. "Only these things that never change can accompany me for the rest of my life."

"Master, you are being too self-deprecating. Although I haven't seen many people, I know that you are extremely beautiful. If you are willing to spread the word, there will definitely be many people who will come to propose marriage."

"Among them, is Mr. Li Yun included?" Suddenly, his bright eyes like autumn water narrowed, and Gucci's gaze fell on Li Yun.

"Well...to be honest, I'm actually married." Li Yun expressed the news of her marriage in a tactful way. However, something was wrong. Gucci seemed to have guessed that Li Yun was trying to find out her background.

"Getting married?" Gucci sat back in his seat, his body pressed down, his plump breasts suddenly pressed against the wooden table, his wide collar slowly fell off, and large areas of white came into Li Yun's sight.

"Since we are already married, why is Mr. Li Yun so concerned about my affairs? I even thought that..."

"I'm just a little curious. After all, as the head of the family said before, it's very difficult for a woman to achieve this on her own. I'm just expressing my admiration."

Faced with extreme temptation, Li Yun stood still like a mountain, like an ascetic monk who had seen through the world.

"Hahaha...Mr. Li Yun is really good at talking." Sitting up straight again, Gucci sighed lightly, "Mr. Li Yun, if you have anything to ask, just ask. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Since the boss has seen it, I don't need to hide it anymore."

"Does the boss know the top performer Ah Yu from Hongli Pavilion?"

"Ayu?" A puzzled expression appeared on her face. "Of course I know this. She is a world-famous singer. Even if I don't go out much, I must have heard of her."

"In fact, Ayu looks exactly like the head of the family. This little guy likes Ayu very much and has a good relationship with Ayu. Since I left Hongli Pavilion, this little guy has been depressed all day long. I tried everything I could to make this little guy happy."

"But today when I passed by the pawnshop, the little guy suddenly bit me and wouldn't let me go, so I came in confused. Now it seems that it was because the little guy mistook the pawnshop for A-Yu."

Li Yun didn't even blink when he lied. Xiao Yuyi, who understood what he said, didn't know why his 'father' said that, but since his 'father' explained it that way, he just did it.

"Gu, gugu." After deciding to act with his 'father', the little guy showed a pitiful expression and looked at Gucci with a cute face.

"Mr. Li Yun just said...Ayu, looks exactly like me?" Shock appeared on his face, without a trace of falsehood, as if he really knew nothing.

"Yes, it's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes."

After getting a positive answer, Gucci was silent for a while, and finally sighed, "Mr. Liyun, would you like to hear a story?"

"All ears."

"Actually, I have a younger sister..."

It turns out that Gucci has a younger sister named Gu Yu. Although they are not twins, they look surprisingly alike. The two sisters are about six years apart. When they were young, they could be distinguished by their age difference, but when they grew up, no one except them could tell who was who.

However, when Gucci was sixteen years old, her parents wanted her to marry someone they didn't like, so she ran away secretly and has been living here alone until now.

And a year ago, Gu Yu was forced to marry someone she didn't like, so she ran away secretly.

She originally wanted to seek refuge with her sister, but she accidentally fell off a cliff while walking on a mountain road, and her life and death were unknown from then on.

Chapter 425: Tamamo Tamamo

As soon as Gucci received the news of the disappearance of the ancient jade, he went to the scene to look for it in person.

However, nothing was found.

No matter how many people Gucci sent, or how much time and effort they spent, no trace of the ancient jade was found.

When no body was found, Gucci believed that Gu Yu was still alive and kept sending people to look for her.

However, at this time, the parents were hit hard by the news of their daughter's death, and Gucci had to rush back to take care of them.
