"No, I have to take my friends to Sister Qingxingdeng's place."

"Going to find Master Qing Xingdeng? Forget it, I won't delay you anymore, Lao Niu."

The Minotaur Monster lowered his head and started making beef noodles.

So, the bull-headed monster sells beef, and Qingxing Lan sells lamps, right?

Very good, very distinctive.

"Are there many monsters like this here?"

Kaguya asked suddenly.

She was referring to the Minotaur monster, which not only can coexist peacefully with humans, but also seems to get along well.

She saw a few humans eating noodles at the Minotaur Monster's shop.

"No, there are actually very few monsters like Uncle Niu."

Hidena Ali shook his head.

"Although the monsters here can coexist peacefully with humans, they are only due to the pressure from the big monsters and the Onnyangliao. Once they leave here, they will still hurt people."

"After all, monsters have a natural instinct to hurt people..."

.....

103. Between the lamps, the story of the witch

Enter the shop called [Lamp Room].

What appears in front of you is a bright and warm room.

All kinds of lamps, large and small, are placed here, on the floor, on the shelves, on the table, and on the counter.

There are a lot of them, and they don't seem to be placed in any regular order, but they are carefully placed and don't make people feel cluttered.

Each lamp only emits a faint glow, so it is not dazzling.

After An Qing and others came in, there was a slight movement in the back room of the store.

Then a beautiful woman came out of the back room.

Although he is not the Qing Xing Lan in Onmyoji, he still has a pair of extremely eye-catching long legs.

"Sister Qing Xingdeng."

"It's Ah Li."

The big monster named Qing Xing Lan smiled slightly.

Her fondness for Hieda Ali's visit can be seen in her flat smile.

"Who are these two?"

Qing Xingdeng looked at Kaguya and the piece of bamboo floating beside her. He hesitated but still felt two looks.

"They are my friends and important guests, and I show them around."

"Is that so..."

Qing Xing Deng is thoughtful.

"Hello everyone, as you can see, this is a small shop I opened in my spare time. I only sell these carefully carved lanterns."

"If you are here for these lamps, please take a look. I hope you can find the lamp you like."

"However, if you want to take away these lamps, I don't accept ordinary coins. In exchange, you need to listen to me tell a story. Even if you are Ali's friends, this rule cannot be changed."

"Story? Anything special?"

Kaguya asked curiously.

"No, it's just a simple story."

Qing Xingdeng shook his head gently.

"Sister Qing Xingdeng likes to tell stories. I have grown up listening to stories about Qing Xingdeng's sister since I was a child."

Hieda Ali explained for Kaguya.

"Okay, I quite like listening to stories."

Kaguya gladly accepted this exchange.

Every big monster has a long lifespan, and almost all of them have experienced vicissitudes of life. Their bodies are full of stories.

As long as they weren't the kind of vulgar monsters who only wanted to fight and kill, Kaguya was quite interested in other big monsters.

The stories they told couldn't have been any worse.

Kaguya wandered around the store for a while.

It’s not that I haven’t found the lantern I like or that it’s difficult to choose, it’s just that I’m admiring the lanterns.

Finally, she randomly picked a silhouette lamp with the moon and stars that she liked.

"Have you found a lamp you like?"

"Well, are you here to listen to the story?"

"Don't worry, you can come and listen to the story when you have time. After all, my stories are usually not short."

"No need, I'm very interested in the story. It's better to wait until the next day. Just listen to it now."

"That's okay, come with me to the back."

Follow Qing Xingdeng to the back room. This is not a bedroom or any other place.

There are also small lights here, but the lights in the room are very dim and very atmospheric.

"Please sit down."

After Kaguya and Hieda Ali were seated, Qing Xingdeng told her story.

The story is indeed not short. It was not until early morning that the soft and sweet sound of the green lantern gradually fell.

"Well, my story ends here."

"What happened to that miko?"

Hui Ye asked.

"Unfortunately, this story is not over yet. The future of the miko has not happened yet, and I don't know either."

"it's a pity."

"When you leave, take this child with you. I can't stay here."

Qingxingdeng refers to Baitian Ali.

At this time, Hieda Ali had already fallen asleep, relying on a ball of air, that is, Anqing's invisible power, as a pillow, and slept soundly.

"This child falls asleep every time he listens to me telling stories."

Qing Xingdeng showed a hint of doting helplessness.

"......亅"

Although Anqing said nothing, he understood Baitian Ali very well.

I don't know if it was special treatment, but when Qing Xingdeng was telling stories just now, he always used a very gentle tone and his voice was pleasant.

It's almost like putting a child to sleep.

To be honest, he wanted to sleep.

Fortunately, he speeded up Qing Xingdeng's storytelling process.

"By the way, if you want to go out of the city recently, you'd better be careful-"

Qing Xingdeng suddenly reminded Kaguya.

"Little girl, you wandered around the busy city without any disguise last night. This behavior must have attracted the covetousness of many monsters and humans."

"Thanks for reminding."

How could Kaguya not know about this kind of thing.

But it didn't matter, she was ready to use it to cause trouble.

However, although she was not worried about Qing Xingdeng's reminder, she also expressed her gratitude.

When Anqing and Kaguya came out of Qing Xingdeng's shop, the busy scene was already coming to an end.

There are fewer shops and pedestrians on the streets.

"What do you think, Father, of the story told by that Qingxing Lantern?"

"That story? Hmm..."

When talking about the story of Qing Xing Deng, An Qing's expression became subtle.

"I don't really like it. I always like things that are lighter."

Qing Xing Deng tells the story of a witch.

Basically, there is a little girl who lives in the mountains isolated from the world and knows very little about humans and monsters.

In her opinion, there is not much difference between humans and demons, and she has never seen them before.

Then suddenly one day, the little girl was affected by a battle between two big monsters.

When he was about to die, one of the big monsters successfully killed the other big monster.

The little girl survived and credits the victorious monster with saving her life.

When she awakened to the power of the miko, she began to follow in the footsteps of the great monster, hoping to repay the favor of saving her life.

However, the big monster didn't notice the miko at all at first, and was quite wary of the miko's unexplained enthusiasm.

And the power of the witch made this big monster feel threatened.

So the miko wanted to repay her kindness, but she was always hurt by the big monster's indifference.

That's a shame.

"Father is very emotional."

"Kaguya-chan, do you like this story?"

"I can't say I like it, but as an unrelated bystander, this story is quite interesting."

Kaguya was in a good mood at this time.

Immortals are somewhat shady, even Kaguya, who has not yet recovered her memory, is no exception, and is probably a bit more sinister than ordinary immortals.

The good daughter and little cotton-padded jacket were just like that in front of An Qing.

"You....."

Anqing rubbed Kaguya's silky hair twice.

He didn't mind Kaguya being so sinister, since Kaguya also knew how to behave.

"It's still dark, let's go back to the hotel first. This little girl also needs a place to sleep."

Hieda Ali is still sleeping soundly, floating in the air in the posture of being held by the princess.

"Good~"

104. I want to become a shrine maiden!

"Um...Am I...?"

Waking up from his sleep, Hieda Ali saw the street that was slowly retreating.

I seem to be moving, and the height seems to be wrong...

Am I floating?
