Kirie: “Who is it?”

"I won't tell you now, you'll know tonight, hehe." Zhiyao deliberately kept it a secret.

Wu Hui didn't take it seriously and sighed, "Tsk, you thought I couldn't read it, huh?"

When they returned to the house, Shui Yun was still huddled in the corner, holding the Chu Yeshi sword in her hand. She looked so pitiful that Zhiyao hurried over to help her.

"Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry." Shui Yun shook her head.

"How can you not be hungry? You haven't eaten for almost a day."

"I'm really not hungry." Shui Yun forced a smile and slowly explained, "In fact, even I don't understand why it's happening. Maybe monsters can tolerate hunger better than humans."

Zhiyao wasn't sure if that was the case, so she thought about it and changed it to something else, "Then you haven't slept since last night, so you must be very sleepy now."

This time, Shuiyun was silent for a few seconds and nodded silently.

"You go to bed first."

"But..." Shui Yun was worried, "What if I fall asleep... What if I attack you while you're unconscious..."

"No, trust me."

As Zhiyao spoke, he helped Shuiyun to the bedside, guided Shuiyun to lie on the bed, and then took out a spirit stone from his backpack, "Give me back the Chu Yeshi Sword. You can use this. Just put this next to your pillow, and you don't have to worry about losing control even if you fall asleep."

The brilliant golden light reflected on her profile, soft and peaceful. Perhaps it was because of the safety device that her nerves no longer had to be so tense. After a while, Shuiyun fell asleep.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Zhiyao picked up his wallet and tiptoed out of the room.

Let’s go eat first, then go walk around the town to see if I can meet the Mihua from my childhood.

Even if I meet him I wouldn't recognize him.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shuiyun woke up from her sleep.

Zhiyao, who was watching TV, noticed this and immediately turned her head to her.

"Wake up, how was your sleep?"

Looking around, Shui Yun rubbed her eyes, yawned, and asked, "I didn't attack you, did I?"

"No."

Hearing this, Shui Yun smiled with relief, picked up the spirit stone beside the pillow and rubbed it on her face, then heard Zhi Yao say, "Go brush your teeth and wash your face. After that, we'll go out for dinner and then I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?" Shui Yun asked.

At the same time, Wuhui's voice rang out.

"Yeah, where to?"

"Don't you know how to read?" Zhiyao looked at Wuhui beside him with interest.

"I want to hear you say it yourself, okay?" Wu Hui raised her head slightly and smiled softly, "It's too boring to read everything. There's not even the excitement of looking forward to the unknown."

"Wow, you're quite knowledgeable. Okay, let's go to Yangyan Mountain."

"Yangyan Mountain!" On the other side, Bai Ju's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Are you going back to Yangyan Village?"

"Little idiot, why are you going back there?" Zhiyao gently pinched Baiju's little ear. "Everyone in the village has moved away a long time ago. What are you going there for now? To pick up junk?"

"Hehehe, that's right." Bai Ju stuck out her tongue playfully, "It doesn't matter where I go, as long as I'm with Brother Sikong."

After the chat, Zhiyao informed everyone to set off. She put on her backpack and walked out of the house first. Everyone followed closely behind her. About fifty minutes later, the group arrived at the foot of Yangyan Mountain.

Compared to that time, decades have passed and the vegetation on both sides of the road has long lost its function as an identifier. Even so, Zhiyao still followed his intuition and went up the mountain, and finally stopped at a place to look around.

His intuition told him that it was nearby, although there was no other way to go nearby.

After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and opened his throat.

"Tamamo——————"

This sound startled everyone, except Yaoboji who had expected it.

"Who is Yumozuo?" Shuiyun asked.

"A female monster like you, living in Yangyan Mountain."

"There are monsters living in Yangyan Mountain?" Wuhui couldn't believe it.

"It's normal to have monsters." Bai Ju interrupted slowly, "Brother Sikong defeated a snake monster and became a hero of Yangyan Village."

"Back then... that was decades ago. Now so many years have passed. Is the girl named Tamamo still alive?" Kirie asked.

"Who knows? Anyway, let's try our luck first." With a sheepish smile, Zhiyao opened his throat again, and his voice echoed in a radius of ten miles. Gradually, Wuhui and Baiju also came out to help shout.

Only Shui Yun didn't. She kept her head facing a certain direction from beginning to end. After a while, she raised her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. Seeing this, Zhiyao and the other two all shut their mouths, and then saw Shui Yun step into the bushes next to them.

Seeing that Shuiyun's body was being submerged by the increasingly tall vegetation, Zhiyao and the other two decisively followed.

They followed Shuiyun through the complex terrain, twisting and turning until Shuiyun stopped in front of a tree and tore off a piece of bark from it.

The next moment, thick fog blew up all around.

"It's foggy!" Zhiyao immediately recalled that night and was overjoyed. At the same time, she was also very curious, "Shuiyun, how did you..."

"I don't know either. Maybe we're both youkai, so we can sense each other within a certain range."

After Shui Yun finished answering, she quickly glanced around and then continued to guide Zhiyao and others forward.

At some point, the surrounding fog began to become relatively thin. Zhiyao stared straight ahead with wide eyes. The cabin that she remembered stood not far away.

Chapter 146: [The Two-in-One Guardian Spirit, Nine-Tailed Fox]

Zhiyao walked forward quickly, raised her hand, and was about to knock, but the door opened first.

Just like then, Tamamo was still wearing the same white wedding dress today, which was still spotless even after so many years. The only difference was that her head was not covered by a hood this time.

After a long-awaited reunion, joy immediately crept onto Zhiyao's brows.

"Hey, Tamamo."

Hearing her name being called from the other side, Yumozuo was stunned and looked Zhiyao up and down with focused and curious eyes.

"You... I remember you seemed to be..."

For some reason, the young man in front of her looked familiar. She racked her brains and three seconds later her eyes suddenly widened.

"Ah, you are Sikong, I remember now."

"You just remembered it now?" Zhiyao smiled and rubbed his nose.

"Because it's been a long time since we last met," Tamamo said cheerfully. "After all these years, you're a human again... Ah, you still look the same as you did then. Is it because of the mermaid guardian spirit within you?"

"No." Zhiyao slowly raised her index finger, shook it gently and corrected herself, "I have returned to the future from the past. It is now 1987."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Hey, of course. You remember that the last time we met was decades ago, but on my side it happened just a few days ago."

"Uh-huh, alright."

As the truth surfaced, Tamamo put on a charming smile and her voice became more enchanting: "Something just broke into the barrier. I was curious about which lost traveler it was. I never thought it would be you."

"I came here specifically to find you, hehe."

"Oh, you came to see me specially..." Yumozhao put her index finger to her lips and kissed it gently, "Sikong, I'm so touched that you came all the way to see me."

The ambiguous look and deliberately provocative tone made Zhiyao's mouth twitch immediately.

"Uh uh uh, I actually have something important to do," he quickly clarified.

Just as he was about to explain the reason, Yumozuo's gaze shifted from him to Shuiyun behind him, looking her up from head to toe.

"Hey, not only did you come by yourself, you also brought a monster with you."

"Hello Miss Tamamo, my name is Shuiyun." Shuiyun quickly introduced herself.

After nodding in response to Shuiyun, Yumozuo's gaze returned to Zhiyao and she asked calmly, "Why did you bring a monster to my place?"

Interrogative tone.

Hearing this, Zhiyao curled her lips and said something nonsense: "I'm worried that you'll be lonely, so I brought someone like you to keep you company, okay?"

"Oh, so thoughtful?" Tamamo widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised.

"Just kidding."

"cut."

"I've already said I have something important to do. You live in such a secluded place, with thick fog and a barrier. If it weren't for Shuiyun, I wouldn't be able to come to this place."

"No wonder there's a similar aura nearby. I was about to go out and see what's going on."

The doorway is not a place to receive guests. After chatting for such a long time, Yumozuo still did not invite him to come in. As time passed, Zhiyao gradually realized that Yumozuo did it on purpose, and his expression began to become helpless.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to ask us to go into the house, so he turned around and took Shuiyun's hand.

"Shui Yun, I suddenly remembered something. How about we go back first?"

Play hard to get.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yumozuo, who knew that she had been discovered, immediately put on a sly smile on her face. Finally, she grabbed his hand and dragged him and Shuiyun into the house.

Just like the last time I came, the house can only be described as bare. After so many years, in this technological age where electric lights have become basic civilian lighting facilities, the house is still lit by candles.

Looking at the occasionally leaping flames, combined with Tamamo's identity as a monster and the fact that this place is located in the wilderness, Zhiyao felt a chill on his back for a moment.

It's a pity that she could live alone in a place like this for so many years.

Zhiyao sighed from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time she chose a cushion to sit on. The next moment, a hand reached out from behind to press her shoulder, and an enchanting voice appeared in her ears.

"Si————Kong——"

His face subconsciously turned to the side behind him. Tamamo's face was as close as it could be. At this distance, Zhiyao could even feel the breath of the other party.

To prevent himself from having any undue imagination, he quickly moved to the side, withdrawing from the ambiguous distance.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

Blinking cunningly, Tamamo's mouth curved into an alluring arc, "You say you have something to do, but you actually just want to see me, right?"

"Why are you so horny for no reason?" Zhiyao gave him a look of contempt.

Tamamo was suddenly ridiculed and choked, her cheeks slightly red, and her eyes became resentful.

"Can...can you speak?"

"The main reason is that I feel that you have intentions towards me, hehe." Zhiyao smiled heartily and told the truth.

"What can I want from you? You as a person?" Yumozuo said indignantly, then realized belatedly, "Tsk, you just can't bear to part with the few spirit stones in your bag."

Closer to home.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Tamamo asked.

Zhiyao looked around.

"Is your guardian spirit not here?"

"What does it have to do with you whether he's here or not?" Tamamo replied unhappily.

"I'm just asking casually." Zhiyao said embarrassedly, "I remember your guardian spirit is Suzaku."

"Yes, Suzaku, he has been released."

"Release them?!" Zhiyao was shocked, suspecting she had misheard, "Why did you release them?!"

"Why can't we release it?" Tamamo asked back.

"Because... that's a guardian spirit."

"I'm happy to. What do you think?"

Zhiyao was embarrassed again, "Opinion, uh... By the way, when and where did you release the animals? Can you tell me?"

Immediately realizing what this person was planning, Yumozuo pursed her lips and giggled non-stop, "I advise you not to try to do anything with it, or you'll be burned to ashes."
