However, the different colors that flashed across her eyes soon attracted her attention, and the ears that had been hanging low on her head temporarily stood up again.
Jin Tong, who regained focus, stared at the ice butterfly flapping its wings in front of him as if seducing him. The white-haired priestess forced a smile, stood up and chased after her.
That was one of the few consolations she had in this place, and it was also the reason why she still kept her sanity.
Whenever her consciousness is about to collapse, this ice butterfly will appear in front of her eyes and play with her for a while.
As for who made this butterfly, the white-haired witch naturally knew it well.
Because of this, she firmly believed that she would be able to get out of this wretched place one day.
"Tell me, when will your little master come to pick me up?"
Estimating that it was almost time for the ice butterfly to disappear, the white-haired priestess stopped in her tracks and questioned it in a pretentiously calm tone.
But soon, the white-haired priestess covered her eyes.
"If you don't come again... I may not be able to hold on..."
After the mood gradually calmed down, the white-haired priestess put down her hands. What surprised her was that the ice butterfly, which should have disappeared, was still in front of her eyes.
As if sensing that the white-haired priestess looked at him again, the ice butterfly began to fly elsewhere.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
The white-haired priestess panicked and quickly chased after her.
The witch who put all her energy on Butterfly didn't notice the faint sound of breaking through the air and the oncoming black shadow.
"Well!"
As she ran, the white-haired miko felt a pain on her forehead, and she couldn't help but fall backwards.
While the miko rubbing her head sat up her upper body, she dazedly grasped the thing that fell on her after attacking her just now.
Fly, dart? !
Fortunately, it was made of wood, and the head was blunted, otherwise my head might not be pierced.
Wait, darts?
The blunt wooden point was pointing at the tip of her finger, and the white-haired priestess suddenly felt that this dart looked familiar.
The witch who realized something slowly raised her head, and as the angle of view moved up, a stretched out white finger appeared in the field of vision, and the ice butterfly that had been with her all this time was staying on it.
After finding the target, Xue Kui moved the mask used to guide the way higher. Although he could see the road clearly with it on, it blocked his vision too much and he didn't like it very much.
Meeting those familiar golden eyes, Xue Kui didn't know what to say for a while.
The joy of finding a friend who was supposed to be dead cannot be faked, but it would be too difficult for him to show it.
After dodging his eyes for a while, Xue Kui said falteringly.
"Uh... When I come to Daozuma, if there is no stupid fox chasing after me, I always feel that something is missing."
Seeing that the white-haired witch who had stood up was sprinting towards him with tears in her eyes, Xue Kui sighed and opened his hands.
This time, it's okay to be caught so easily...just this one time.
"Sure enough, things like festivals will become very boring if no one is with me!"
What is this stupid fox talking about?
Xue Kui, who was patting the witch on the back, couldn't help but look confused.
......
"Hey! Butterfly kid, why do you feel that you are so proficient in doing this kind of thing? It can't be because you care too much about me. You started practicing 500 years ago, right?"
"When will it be finished? I want to eat fried tofu, I want to smoke, I want to go shopping!"
"Hey~ why are you so familiar with my body... a butterfly!"
Fist hardened.
Probably because of staying in the earth vein node for too long, Huzhai Palace now talks a lot more than before, to the point where Xue Kui is a bit unacceptable.
Especially since the man is now in a spirit state and can scurry around in the air, with chatter coming from all around him 360 degrees, it's hard not to feel grumpy.
Xue Kui took a deep breath, and continued to refine a body that had just taken shape on the table in front of him.
Some of the techniques used in this were thought up when she wanted to replace Xueqing's body, and some were borrowed from Lei Movie's technique for making dolls.
"Hey, pervert, talk, don't be shy. Tell the truth, for the sake of saving me, I don't care about the fact that you peeked at my body before."
Xue Kui's hand trembled, almost ruining his previous efforts, and cast a death gaze on the soul body hanging upside down.
"Why don't you go back to my exterior space."
Hu Zhai Palace resolutely refused.
"Don't! That young couple shows their affection inside every day. I went there to make fun of myself."
"Then be quiet, at least don't disturb me."
Hu Zhaigong nodded, and started thinking again the next second as if he didn't hear anything.
"So, you really haven't peeked at me before?"
"No, do you still need to take a peek at something like that? Can't you get a rough idea of it by just feeling it roughly?"
Hu Zhai Palace's expression immediately became strange.
"Doesn't that mean that for people with strong perceptions like you, other people are no different from being naked?"
Xue Kui thought for a while, and if the color and other information that needs to be captured by vision are discarded, it would be pretty much the same, so he nodded.
Xue Kui didn't know why Huzhai Palace suddenly fell silent, but he was happy to see this situation, so he didn't ask, and concentrated on perfecting the body in front of him.
But when the body was about to be completed, the stupid fox started to make trouble again.
"Wait! Is there something obviously different from me here?"
Xue Kui looked at the "Fox Zhai Palace" on the table, and then at the soul body in the air.
This is already a one-to-one perfect reproduction, what is different?
"Here! Here! Shouldn't it be bigger!"
Seeing Hu Zhai Gong slamming his chest, Xue Kui scratched his head, and out of a craftsman's spirit, checked it again, and then raised his head in confusion.
"What's different?"
"I don't care, I don't care! Make it bigger for me!"
Seeing this stupid fox acting violently in the air, how could Xue Kui not know that the other party had selfish motives?
"Are you sure? The technology I use is different from that of Ying's doll. The body and soul must match each other to ensure their freshness. If the body is enlarged and the soul cannot fully support it, then there is no The part touched by the soul... will probably rot."
Huzhai Palace imagined himself with two pieces of rotten meat hanging in front of him, and immediately became depressed.
"Then, let's forget it."
Damn it, wouldn't she be underestimated by Shenzi and that little girl again!
I don’t know how much suffering the other party has suffered in the position of palace minister over the years, and he has actually grown to the point where it is now difficult to cope with it.
Seeing Huzhai Palace whose mood became inexplicably depressed, Xue Kui felt extremely incomprehensible.
"It's just two pieces of meat on the chest, what's the matter?"
He doesn't care so much about his height now, and the two pieces of meat on his chest are even less necessary, right?
"Huh, standing up and talking doesn't hurt your back. When you meet a mediocre girl here, try saying 'your breasts are so small' to her?"
Xue Kui:?
Xiaoyasha's curiosity welled up.
42. The times are different, old woman
"Old woman! You've already come back to life, so go back to your original job!"
"Are you kidding me! I have finally retreated from that troublesome position, how could I go back and suffer? Besides, I am already a dead person in the eyes of the world, why can't I go back to be the palace secretary? You If you have the ability, die again!"
"You damn old woman! Back then, you said that as long as you become a palace secretary, you can eat fried tofu as you like. As a result, not only is there a lot of trouble, but you can't even participate in festivals and other activities openly. You Do you just like to lie to children so much?"
"How could I lie to you? You just said that you can eat fried tofu as you like?"
"You old guy!!!"
In a corner of the courtyard, Huzhai Palace, who had obtained a new body, was pulling with his younger generation, each releasing energy that the other had nowhere to vent. Putting the pastry in his pocket, he picked up his teacup and walked towards the front hall.
The two foxes, the old and the young, were in harmony when they first met. One was a loving elder with his arms around each other's head, and the other was a silent junior who buried his head in the arms of the other.
However, the number of troubles has increased as it develops later, which is puzzling.
At the entrance of the corridor, the miko lady named Pepe was still standing there. I don't know if there is no miko changing shifts with her or she is just guarding the gate for Yae Miko.
...Speaking of which, the name Pepe really sounds like a puppy.
At this moment, Pepe was looking into the backyard from time to time, with a little hesitation mixed with worry on his face.
Seeing this scene, Xue Kui didn't intend to say anything. He just wanted to find a quieter place to sit down and drink tea, but if someone took the initiative to stop him, that would be a different matter.
"Well, hello sir, what is the origin of that white-haired priestess with fox ears?"
As someone who has read Yae Shenzi's letter to Xuekui, Pepe, who has seen the title "old stuff", can no longer regard Xuekui as a simple boy, and unconsciously uses the honorific title in his words .
"It's an elder of your palace secretary... What? Are you worried about your palace secretary?"
Pepe folded her hands under her body a little awkwardly, rubbing them unconsciously.
"Well, Lord Gong Si is a good person, I don't want her to be bullied..."
"Oh, then you can rest assured that foxes fight and don't stretch their claws."
"Eh?"
"Oh, I mean, it's just a way of playing around between the two of them, and you don't have to worry about it."
Xue Kui simply leaned against the pillar next to him, took out a piece of pastry from his pocket and threw it at the opponent.
"But you, you have been teased by your Lord Palace Secretary almost every day these days, why do you still care about her so much?"
Pepe frantically caught the pastry that Xuekui threw, and was about to push it back when she heard Xuekui's question, and the action of holding the pastry fell into memory.
"...Master Gong Si, she has been very kind to me...our family."
"Sir, since you are not from Daozuma, you probably don't know very well that not everyone can be a witch. This is a profession that has nothing to do with people like me."
"I was originally a child of a peasant family, but my father has read a little, I admire him very much, and my mother is very gentle, so although I sometimes fantasize about my life as a young lady, I am already very satisfied with my daily life …until there was civil strife in Inazuma.”
Seeing the little girl, Xue Kui's eyes gradually dimmed, silently chewing on the pastry in his mouth.
"Originally, my mother and I were very worried about my father, but there was no bad news for a long time, and the military salary was sent home by my father all the time, which was much more than the income from farming. At that time, I even had a kind of 'except Not being able to see my father, it doesn't seem to be a bad feeling."
"Later, Mora, who had been sending home, died, but his father did not die, but became a deserter..."
"When we heard the news, my mother and I felt weird rather than angry. How could the father in my heart, who knew all about justice, be a deserter? But that was the news personally delivered by the shogunate army, and we could only accept it. This fact brings with it the special looks from the villagers. Hehe..."
Speaking of this, it seemed that he felt that he was speaking too seriously, so Peipei smiled a little.
"At that time, the family had no income, and because my father was a deserter, almost no one was willing to help our family. But fortunately, Miyaji-sama suddenly sent someone to contact me and said that he wanted me to come to Narukami Taisha Shrine. Try it as a trainee witch... At that time, I really felt like I was in a dream. Miyaji-sama really helped me and my mother come back to life, so I was very grateful to her and thought that I must Do something good to repay her."
Pepe rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Although until now, I can only stand here and help Lord Gongsi guard the corridor...and even such a simple thing went wrong before."
Xue Kui drank the hot tea in one gulp, exhaled whitely, turned around and walked back towards the backyard.
"The story is not bad, at least it is enough to be used as the material for drinking leisurely tea, and that piece of pastry should be regarded as your reward."
"Eh?"
Only then did the little witch lower her head belatedly, and when she saw the pastry she had held for a long time, her face blushed.
Just now... what posture and state were I using to chat with others?
......
"Ok?"
Seeing the pink-haired fox in front of her tilt her head pretending to be puzzled, Xue Kui lowered her eyelids halfway, expressing that she didn't like her at all.
"Don't be a fool, I don't believe that you are the kind of kind person who has a leisurely heart. You just noticed the situation in the home of the little witch named Pepe, and you are willing to help. What's the secret behind it?"
