The heroines want to talk

Kaguya froze when she saw what was wrapped in the long box.

She had never seen the real Penglai Jade Branch, and she had heard the rumors recently. It seemed that this suitor had really been out to sea and had just returned to Naniwa Port yesterday.

"Silver roots, golden trunk, white jade fruit, no difference at all."

Xia Shi took a few glances and felt that it was not an ordinary object.

There is also a poem raft inside.

"After a long journey of thousands of miles, I will not return until I have won the jade branch."

Good man, if I didn't know that you only stayed in the secretly built manor for three years, I would have believed it. Xia Shi thought this guy's acting was really good.

That tired expression on his face just now was really funny.

Xia Shi glanced at Kaguya and found that her little face was full of confusion, like the expression she had after she had won a game of chess by chance. To her, these five difficult questions might just be a game.

"My dear daughter, are you trying to use your girl's privileges?" Xia Shi teased.

"Father~ Sir~" Kaguya pushed his shoulder, knowing that he was teasing her.

"I thought you were going to say something angry, like, 'Ah, Father, I lost this time. It seems I have no choice but to marry him.'"

Kaguya rubbed Xia Shi's face and said, "Father, this face of yours looks so old. Can you change it back?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Shi lowered his body age from 40 to 30, and the wrinkles on his face slowly disappeared. He explained, "An older image is more normal. After all, so many years have passed. If my body is still the same as before, it would be a bummer."

He had told Kaguya a long time ago that he could change his appearance, but he didn't tell her the whole story.

For example, he was only in his twenties.

And this is just his age. In fact, his body has been fixed since the moment he unsealed the holy sword.

Forever sixteen years old. Even younger than what Yakumo Yukari said about forever being seventeen years old. In this regard, Xia Shi won, and won completely.

"But it doesn't look good," Kaguya commented.

"But there is also an advantage. Meihong will not like you anymore after seeing your face."

Xia Shi was too tired to complain.

Do you think everyone is like you? You can even be like this to your own father... Well, let’s not talk about it anymore.

To be honest, it was now difficult for him to look at Kaguya as his daughter.

"Is there no way to test this Penglai Jade Branch?" Kaguya thought.

"The fire rat fur can also be roasted in the fire."

Xia Shi recalled the four people who had been rejected by Kaguya.

The fake fire rat fur was burned up in a fire, leaving no residue at all.

Thinking back to that person's poem, Xia Shi wanted to laugh.

Love is like fire, but it cannot burn this coat. My sleeves have been wet for years, and today I have finally stopped crying.

He spoke so affectionately, but it all ended up in a fire.

As for the dragon head Yu and Zi'an Bei, there was no sign of them at all, and they didn't have the face to visit again.

Since Kaguya had seen the stone bowl in front of the Buddha before, it was easy for her to find out that it was a fake and that it did not glow.

With this calculation, four of the suitors have given up proposing, and now it seems that only this last one is left.

After chatting for a while in the room.

Just as Kaguya was thinking about a solution.

There was a sudden noisy sound in the hall.

Xia Shi knew that the six exploited craftsmen were coming to slap Fujiwara no Fuhito in the face.

He changed his image excitedly and walked out.

Seeing this, Kaguya followed.

"The six of us have been working on this Penglai Jade Branch for nearly a thousand days without rest. We are all exhausted, but we have not received a penny of wages so far. Please pay us immediately."

Xia Shi pretended to be very concerned, walked into the hall, and looked at everyone, "What's going on?"

What happened?

"Is what they said true?" He looked at Fujiwara no Fuhito who remained silent.

Kaguya spoke from behind the curtain: "Father, please show me the text of the petition."

Xia Shi gave a look to several craftsmen, and the craftsmen understood what he meant.

Handing the letter to Kaguya, Xia Shi saw that her expression was smiling. After reading it, she laughed and scolded: "It turned out to be a fake. I thought it was real just now."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the letter paper beside her, wrote a poem, and asked the other party to leave quickly.

Ten minutes later, the last pursuer could not bear the humiliation and walked away, not even wanting the Penglai Jade Branch that was returned to him.

Xia Shi later gathered several craftsmen together and paid them some wages.

"Don't separate on the way back. This box contains a treasure that is enough to protect you. This thing is given to you by my daughter, so please don't open it casually." Xia Shi handed over a treasure box.

Inside is Lily's clone.

These craftsmen helped, and Xia Shi couldn't let them be beaten with a club when they returned.

……

"Father, you knew that thing was fake a long time ago?" Kaguya saw him walking in from the backyard and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"What else? How can I really let you get married? I also hired those craftsmen in advance." Xia Shi sighed.

Kaguya smiled happily upon hearing that.

"That's not what you said a few years ago."

"If you don't want to get married, then I won't force you."

"Is it really because of this reason?" Kaguya hugged Xia Shi from behind.

"real."

Kaguya blew into his ear, "I don't believe it."

……

That night, Xia Shi groped his way along the dark road, preparing to visit the home of Kamishizawa Keion, the man who gave Kaguya her name.

If my guess is correct, the time for Kaguya to return is not far away.

Originally, Xia Shi wanted her to go back.

But every time Kaguya talked about the Moon Capital, there was no smile on her face. She seemed to think that the earth was better.

Chapter 353: Go to Bai Ze Hui Yin

Knocked gently on the wooden door.

After a while, a woman with hair as white as snow opened the door.

"Mr. Sanuki, what brings you here so late?" Although she asked a question, her face was full of confidence, as if she knew everything.

In fact, she did know a lot.

As the sacred beast of Bai Ze, Shang Bai Ze Hui Yin can predict the future to some extent.

She came to this village because of the prophecy.

"Mr. Shang Bai Ze, as a divine beast, clearly knows the purpose of my coming here, but why did you still ask me?" Xia Shi said with a smile.

After these few years, he also guessed the reason why the other party found him when he first traveled through time.

"You've been pretending to be an ordinary person for so long, why don't you continue pretending?" Shangbai Ze Huiyin said with a smile.

She said and walked in.

Xia Shi also followed her.

"I was really lost at that time. It's no exaggeration to say that it was a life-and-death crisis." Xia Shi recalled the night he first arrived.

My goodness, it was pitch dark in the forest, as if all the light was swallowed up by the darkness.

If you don’t know, you might think you encountered a monster.

...Wait, it can’t really be a monster?

A monster in the dark night?

"Your daughter has already talked to me about what you want to talk to me about. Let's talk about something else this time." Kamishizawa Huiyin led him into the house.

Then I made two cups of tea.

She handed one of the cups to Xia Shi.

"When the celestial being comes to pick her up, I will help. I am originally the Bai Ze divine beast. I can change cognition and history. It is very easy to change the history of your escape." Shang Bai Ze Hui Yin maintained a mysterious smile.

She is even more difficult to understand than Yakumo Yukari.

Although Yakumo Yukari is also very smart, she seems relatively simple at least when she is with Natsumi.

"It's great that you accepted this commission." Xia Shi felt relieved.

"But things are not as bad as you think, and the celestial beings are not that powerful." Kamishizawa Huiyin gave a slight spoiler.

Then when Xia Shi's anticipation reached its peak.

She said the rest calmly: "The secret cannot be revealed. This is all I can tell you."

Xia Shi showed a disappointed expression when he heard this.

Then Huiyin laughed.

"Although I can't explain to you the matter of the gods, I can still explain the reason why I came to find you."

"What's the reason?" Xia Shi straightened his expression.

He was very curious about it.

She suddenly appeared in front of me and brought me to this village without any explanation. What was her plan?

Although he had some guesses in his heart, he wanted to get a definite answer.

"Your existence is beneficial to the monsters. So I have to help you. This is related to our survival."

A very simple reason, so simple that it seems unbelievable.

“In fact, there is no essential difference between mythical beasts and monsters. As the divine aura dissipates, the spiritual energy and demonic energy will gradually decrease. In the end, this world will probably become a wasteland without a trace of mystery.” Ueshiro Ze Huiyin held the teacup and took a sip.

"From your expression, you probably know what I mean."

"Yes. I want to create a country on the earth where mysterious creatures can survive." Xia Shi said.

“This is not enough. As long as a country is not separated from the world, even the most powerful country will eventually become weak.” Shangbai Ze Huiyin frowned.

"Someone can separate it." Xia Shi said mysteriously.

"Who?" Ueshirazawa Huiyin was puzzled. She had never heard of any monster or human with such ability.

"The secret cannot be revealed." Xia Shi said with a smile.

Ueshirazawa Huiyin rolled her eyes at him.

This guy is even more of a charlatan than myself. I really cannot reveal the secret because it may change the uncertain future, but he really seems to not want to say it.

"She hasn't been dragged into the chariot by me yet, so this is just an incomplete plan."

When Xia Shi said this, he seemed to remember something.

He took out a black gem from his pocket.

Among them, a small white snake was chasing its tail.

"So this is where your confidence comes from." Ueshirazawa Huiyin stared at the gem.

There is the breath of dragon in it.

Or would it be more appropriate to call it a snake?
