There may be some misunderstandings here, but I can't explain it to you...
Looking at the two determined cat girls in front of him, Yashenkong could only cough twice and choose to change the topic.
"Speaking of which, Miss Yuzu, did you see my other companion when you found me?"
"Hmm? Does Mr. Yagami have any companions?"
"Yes, he is a human male who is about sixty years old, wearing highly recognizable dark blue clothes. If nothing else, he should be not far from where I was found."
Listening to Yagami Sora's description, Yuzi couldn't help but lowered his head and fell into thinking, but in the end he shook his head and said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't notice such a human being."
"However, at that time, I heard a strange noise coming from the nearby tree crown. If I think about it, it should be the sound made by Lord Yagami's companions."
Did it fall on a tree? It shouldn't be a big problem...
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking into account the opponent's extraordinary physical quality and Nasuno's special rules, at least Sasaki Yamagakure's life safety can be guaranteed.
But, why hasn’t the other party shown up?
Could it be that the strange state of immobility has not been lifted yet...
Looking at Yagami Sora who was thinking, Yuzi was slightly startled, and then suggested.
"If Mr. Ye Shen needs it, after Xiao Zi comes back, she can take Mr. Ye Shen to confirm."
"Otherwise, Mr. Yagami won't be relieved, right?"
Sensing the thoughtfulness in the other person's words, Ye Shenkong smiled at the other person and spoke gently.
"Thank you, then I'll spare your trouble."
Hearing this, Yuzi's face turned slightly red and she hurriedly waved her hands.
"Don't say that, we are very happy to be able to help Mr. Yagami."
Having said this, she paused for a moment and pointed to the clothes that Ono brought.
"But Lord Yagami, if you want to go out and do some activities, you'd better change into these clothes."
"I just cut these out according to the body shape of Lord Ye Shen. They have the breath of our cat spirit on them, which can hide the identity of Lord Ye Shen as a human being..."
Suddenly, there was a clicking sound as dense as raindrops on the long stone stairs of the shrine.
It was the sound of clogs hitting the ground continuously, and one could imagine the opponent's agile posture when running.
"Ah, it seems that Xiao Zi is back."
Hearing this sound, Yuzi stood up with some joy and bowed deeply to Yagami Sora.
"Your Excellency Yeshen, please change your clothes first. I will go and tell Xiao Zi about Your Excellency Yeshen's arrival."
"If it were that child, he would also be happy about it, right?"
"Then, I'll take my leave for now."
She walked to the door of the room, suddenly realized something, turned her head and urged Xiaoye in the room.
"Ono, come out quickly, don't delay Mr. Yagami's dressing."
However, Ono did not move. Instead, he lay down next to Yagami Sora and waved his hand to her seriously.
"Yuzu, please go out first. I want to compete with Sora to see whose tail is longer, nya."
...
After Yuzu carried Ono out with a dark face, Yagami quickly changed his clothes and walked out of the room.
Yuzi's skills in tailoring were even better than he imagined. Although it was just a simple white dress, it felt very soft and close-fitting, with every arc conforming to the body.
However, not only was he admiring Yuzi's ingenuity, he was also thinking about his next plan at this moment.
Judging from the current situation, although there is no need to worry about where to go for the time being, we cannot just stay in Nasuno like this.
After all, they once attempted to assassinate the King of Nasuno, but after their attempt failed, they mysteriously disappeared.
Presumably, the wanted notice for them will be spread throughout Nasuno soon.
Before that, we have to find a way to leave.
Otherwise, if it is exposed, the end may be death.
Thinking of this, Ya Shenkong couldn't help but let out a breath.
It feels like a lot of pressure.
But he also knew that simply being anxious was of no use.
Right now, we still have to start by collecting intelligence and slowly look for clues about Cai...
Suddenly, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but pause in his steps, and he was keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere permeating the air.
In sight, a beautiful girl with purple hair and cat ears was standing next to the shrine courtyard.
He is about half a head taller than Ono, with a round face and delicate facial features. His slender and straight legs are exposed under the short-sleeved purple azalea kimono, giving people a delicate and cute feeling like a hand-made figure.
But at this moment, the unconcealable anger on the other party's pretty face undoubtedly diluted this feeling.
The reason was the two monsters surrounding her.
Both monsters have bodies that are much stronger than ordinary humans. The head of one of them is a huge yellow tiger head, with hair sticking out fiercely in all directions, making it look like a starfish.
In addition, when he speaks, he will inadvertently reveal his fierce animal teeth, which makes his performance full of evil and makes people shudder.
The monster next to it has a pig head and is obviously the younger brother of the tiger-headed monster.
At this moment, Yagami Sora came to Yuzi and Ono and asked them in a low voice.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yuzi forced herself to cheer up and showed a forced smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that the monsters from the flower street came to the shrine again to cause trouble. For us, it is already a part of daily life."
"As long as you endure it, the other party will leave."
"As long as I can endure it a little longer..."
Although she said this, her fists were already clenched tighter.
At this moment, the tiger-headed demon was blocking the purple-haired cat girl forcefully, as if he had no intention of letting the other party pass.
"Hey, little sister Mao Ling, don't be so resistant."
"If you just guard this place, sooner or later it will rot together with these useless wood?"
"Are you really not going to think about it? The cat spirits of Asakusa Shrine are quite popular in Kaguri. We will hire you with fox coins that are five times the salary of ordinary maikos."
"You know, the land around your shrine that originally belonged to your shrine has been completely divided up by those families. With these fox coins, you can also buy more powerful fox cards and win the land back, right?
?”
"Or, now that we've reached this point, do you still want to continue to pretend to be this senseless reserve?"
"If this continues, even the shrine will be lost."
After listening to the other party's words, the purple-haired girl took a deep breath, barely restrained the anger that was about to burst out, and the expression on her pretty face returned to indifference.
"If you are not here to pray, but just to talk these silly nonsense, then please go back."
"As for the matter of the shrine, we will figure it out ourselves, so you won't have to worry about it."
After saying that, she stepped back, nimbly dodged out of the blocking range of the two monsters, and then walked toward the shrine with her chin held high, cat-walking, without looking back.
Come on, don’t you want to do this anymore?
The tiger-headed demon's gloomy eyes followed the opponent's departing back, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
Suddenly he said loudly.
"Then, even if you don't want to be a maiko, there is no need to waste your youth for this shrine."
"In the final analysis, a shrine like this has no value in continuing to exist."
"Being a selfish coward like the previous manager, abandoning the shrine and sneaking away alone is the right answer."
"You actually know this very well, right?"
"......Shut up."
As if she had been poked in some painful spot, the purple-haired cat girl suddenly lowered her steps, and her eyes were covered by the hair hanging down from her forehead.
"Huh? What did you say, little sister?"
The tiger-headed monster pretended not to hear clearly, but instead spoke louder and continued to speak.
"By the way, what is the name of the cat spirit that escaped before? By the way, it's called Feng, right? She is much more knowledgeable than you, little sister. She knows that going against us will not end well, so -"
"I told you to shut up!!!"
Hearing this, the purple-haired cat lady suddenly turned around and glared at the tiger-headed demon.
Her right hand had clenched into sharp claws at some point, and with a sharp sound that cut through the air, she stabbed towards the tiger-headed monster without any warning.
"Don't insult Master Feng in front of me!"
"Xiao Zi, no!"
Unexpectedly, the other party would suddenly explode, and Yuzi on the side only had time to let out a exclamation.
Looking at the sharp claws gradually enlarging in his pupils, the tiger-headed demon was stunned for a moment.
"Little sister, you..."
The next moment, the corner of its mouth raised ferociously.
"Isn't this just like taking the bait?"
call.
Xiao Zi's sharp claws stopped a few inches in front of the tiger-headed monster.
The next moment, her body suddenly lost its balance and fell at the feet of the tiger-headed monster.
His forearms were twitching and trembling, obviously falling into a state of paralysis and losing control of his body.
Although he tried desperately to raise his head, he couldn't do it at all. Even his clean purple azalea kimono was covered with mud.
Seeing the remaining expression of anger and unwillingness on that pretty face, the tiger-headed demon laughed loudly.
"Idiot, you really are an idiot. In this way, our goal has been achieved, right?"
"If you really want to protect the shrine, don't be so impulsive, little sister Mao Ling!"
"What you do is equivalent to giving us your chips!"
Listening to the other party's sarcastic words, Xiao Zi's expression became more and more angry, but she could not make any response.
Only the tears of grievance were left to swirl in his eyes, helplessly sliding down his cheeks into the soil.
"Xiao Zi!"
At this moment, Yuzi rushed to Xiaozi's side and stood in front of her.
Gu Gong
This scene is exactly the same as that of Sasaki Yamakaku...
Seeing this scene, Ye Shenkong's eyes narrowed and he asked Ono beside him.
"Xiaoye, why did she become like this?"
At this moment, Ono's tone became uncharacteristically lower as he explained to Ya Shenkong.
"Meowth is also banned in Nasuno for actively causing harm to others."
"If you violate it, you will be punished by the commandments set by the Fox God, and your body will fall into painful paralysis like this."
"The punishment will continue until the other party's forgiveness is obtained, and it will not be lifted until three days later."
"So, is even this situation allowed?" Ye Shenkong asked with a frown.
"Originally, such a thing would never happen, meow."
Ono's voice sounded deeper and deeper, and his eyes looking at the two monsters became vaguely evil.
"Originally, the Fox Hunting Guard will be responsible for punishing such malicious use of Lord Fox God's power."
"But in order to protect the safety of the young queen, all the Kitsune Guards in Nasuno have returned to Yuhu Island, so they dare to bully us like this, nya."
Is that so...
Ye Shenkong looked at Xiao Zi who was lying on the ground twitching, his eyes thoughtful.
The next second, he suddenly started to walk forward.
Seeing this, Ono couldn't help but be stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Sora, what are you going to do?"
Ye Shenkong said calmly.
"I have something here that I want to confirm."
...
At this moment, Yuzi bent down, bowed her head to the tiger-headed demon and the pig-headed demon and begged.
"I'm sorry, you two, Xiao Zi didn't mean it. Please forgive her this time."
"Of course we know this, Miss Yuzu, because the intention is clearly from our side." The tiger-headed demon smiled maliciously.
"Then, let's follow the old rules. If you don't want her to be tortured, come and fight with us."
"The bet is of course the last land of the shrine and becoming our maiko. There's no problem with that, right?"
"this......"
Faced with such conditions, Yuzi obviously hesitated.
Seeing this, the tiger-headed demon snorted coldly.
"If you don't want to gamble, you can. Anyway, Master Fox God's commandment will last for three days."
"Then let's go back today. When Miss Youzi has made up her mind, she can come find us at Huajiuli Huajie."
After that, it turned around and left.
"Please wait!"
Looking at Xiao Zi who was lying on the ground with a look of pain, Yuzi gritted his teeth and said.
"I...I agree-"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her.
"Miss Yuzu, you don't need to accept it."
Yuzi was slightly startled, turned around, and looked at Yagami Sora who had come to Xiao Zi's side at some unknown time.
"Your Excellency Ye Shen, you..."
"Who are you?"
At this moment, the tiger-headed demon's smile that was about to show couldn't help but froze, and his eyes looking at Ye Shenkong became gloomy.
"Is this cat spirit going to suffer the three-day discipline just because of your words?"
"If she never gets our understanding, maybe she will have a mental breakdown because of this."
"and--"
Its voice was deliberately lengthened, and it threatened Ye Shenkong.
"If you dare to offend us, do you think you can continue to stay in Huajiuli?"
At this moment, Yuzi's eyes also fluctuated a little.
As if she had made up her mind, she bit her lips and whispered to Ye Shenkong.
"It's right, Lord Yagami, since this is our shrine's matter, we shouldn't involve you..."
"It doesn't matter. As for Xiao Zi, I will forgive her." Ye Shenkong shook his head and said.
Hearing this, the tiger-headed demon couldn't help but be startled.
Then he couldn't help showing a look of disdain in his eyes, and said sarcastically.
"Forgive? Who do you think you are and what authority do you have to forgive her for us?"
"Of course I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for her."
Ye Shenkong knelt down, stared at Xiao Zi on the ground, and said softly.
"I forgive the Fox God on her behalf."
He then reached out his hand and scratched Xiao Zi's chin.
Suddenly, Xiao Zi felt that the numbness in her body receded like a sea tide, dissipating in an instant.
Faced with this instant change, she didn't even have time to change the expression on her face. Her eyes were still filled with tears of grievance, and she stared blankly at Ye Shenkong.
Sensing the change in the other person's eyes, Ye Shenkong smiled gently and stretched out his hand to her.
"How about it, can you stand up?"
"Ah...yes."
Xiao Zi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously put her hand into the other person's hand, and stood up with the other person's help.
Seeing Xiao Zi returning to normal, Ye Shenkong was also thinking secretly.
really.
Although Nasuno's law can have an effect on him, it seems that this effect is not strong.
As long as you have a thought, you can easily break through.
It's as easy as poking through a layer of paper with your hand.
At this moment, looking at this scene, the tiger-headed demon felt as if a huge thunder fell on his forehead, and even his eyelids began to twitch.
How is this possible!?
This cat spirit that I had never seen before unexpectedly broke the commandments of Lord Fox God?
If such a thing can be done, then there is only one possibility for the identity of the other party...
It stared at Ya Shenkong's face, grinding its teeth and roaring.
"I didn't expect that I would meet the Fox Hunter Guard here..."
Mr. Yagami...is the Fox Hunter Guard?
Hearing this, Yuzi and Ono both looked shocked.
This...isn't possible?
Faced with the other party's misunderstanding, Yashenkong did not intend to explain, but raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that even if you know my identity, you have no intention of giving up."
"Of course." The tiger-headed demon smiled ferociously.
"Even if you are a fox hunting guard, you will be severely punished if you dare to say the disrespectful words to Lord Fox God just now, right?"
"Jie Jie Jie, I accidentally caught you in such a situation, do you think I will just let you go?"
"So, what do you want to do?" Ye Shenkong asked with interest.
The tiger-headed demon smiled ghostly.
"It's very simple. Come and have a Huluo card duel with me."
"If you win, we promise not to expose you, but if you lose, you will forget about today's events and leave Huajiuli."
"How about it, Lord Kitsune, this condition should be fair, right?"
"A duel with Huluo cards...let me think about it." Ye Shenkong thought.
He then winked at Yuzi and the others, and the cat ladies immediately understood and quickly gathered around him.
"Well, I believe Lord Kitsune should be able to make the right choice."
Seeing this, the tiger-headed demon took a few steps back to give the opponent enough space.
At this moment, the pig-headed demon next to it said worriedly.
"Boss, can you win?"
"The opponent is Fox Hunter Guard. If we lose, we will be finished, right?"
"Haha, you're still not convinced when I say you're stupid." The tiger-headed demon sneered.
"Take a good look with your pig eyes. There is actually a big difference between this fox guard and ordinary fox guards."
different?
The pig-headed demon blinked in confusion, and then his eyes began to search Ye Shenkong.
Suddenly, its fat ears flapped rapidly, and its eyes shone brightly.
"Did you find it?" the tiger-headed demon said with a smile.
"This Fox Hunter didn't bring his own deck at all."
"If you want to have a Huluo card duel, you can only borrow these Cat Spirit decks, so he needs to consider it."
"Besides, pay attention to his appearance."
"Looks like? Boss, what's wrong with his appearance?"
Looking at that handsome face that shocked the world, the pig-headed demon suddenly felt a little puzzled.
"Of course."
Looking at that face, the tiger-headed demon showed a very determined expression and was confident.
"With a hairstyle like this, you won't know how to play cards at first sight."
