Chapter 375 Let me tell you a story
Under the cherry blossom tree.
The group sat on the wooden platform, their small bowls filled with the fine wine that Xu Ning had brought out.
After getting up from the Fox Palace, Wu Baizang stood there for a long time, and finally uttered a harsh remark.
"The outcome of our battle is not yet settled. I will challenge you again in a few days."
Then he ran away with a large jar of wine given to him by Xu Ning, but he left Master Ji behind.
This also led to Wendy not daring to sit with the others. Instead, she picked a branch high up on the Divine Cherry Tree, holding a small jar of Thousand Winds wine, drinking and playing her zither, quite content in her own little world.
Mikoto Chiyo disliked sitting with certain two people, so she sat between Kitsui-no-miya and Yae-no-miko.
Lei, who had no dessert in front of him, could only sit with Xu Ning and exchange bitter smiles.
Kujo Sara knelt behind the shogun, secretly feeling indignant about the treatment the shogun was receiving.
Fox Palace extended its pipe, hooked a small bag that Xu Ning had quietly placed in front of Lei Movie, placed the pipe in the hand of Shiki Kosho, who was standing next to it with his arms outstretched, and opened the bag to smell it.
"Ah, these little cookies smell so good! No, no, the punishment is that I can't eat sweets, that's for sure. This is for Chiyo."
Xu Ning glanced at Lei Yingdian cautiously, showing a hint of regret but no anger whatsoever.
However, a "crack" was heard behind her, and Kujo Sara crushed the sake bowl in her hand.
The Bai Chen lineage is known for its difficult personalities. After saving the Fox Palace, the scoundrel fox suddenly became two, and Lei Yingdian and her beloved Heavenly Dog will likely reap double the happiness in the future.
And then there's that Shikigami, the shikigami who completely embodies Harunosuke's longing for Kitsune-sai-miya. He's completely transformed into a pipe stand, a total simp. It seems like there's no way I'll be adding a paper doll to my Hidden Dust Cave.
However, since Harunosuke's longing can reach and stay by the side of the person he admires, his spirit in heaven should be smiling!
Xu Ning was lost in thought when two voices suddenly called out, "Please use this."
Turning around, they saw Inashiro Hotaru and the shrine maiden Gento Ringo, who was in charge of drawing lots, placing two freshly made tuna sushi in front of everyone.
Upon seeing the Xuan Dong Lin Qin, Xu Ning couldn't help but reach out and touch the comb in his arms, where a lucky fortune slip was still stuck between the comb teeth.
This fortune slip was drawn for me by Gento Ringo when I first visited Narukami Shrine.
Now that the fortune slip has come true, what was lost has finally been found, and the long journey to Inazuma is finally over, leaving no regrets in my heart.
"Thank you!"
Xu Ning solemnly thanked the witch, which startled her.
"This is...this is what I should do, you...you don't need to thank me so formally..."
Gendong Ringo blushed instantly and hurriedly returned the greeting.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "I am thanking you for the very auspicious fortune slip you drew for me that day. If it weren't for that fortune slip giving me courage, I wouldn't have been able to persevere until now."
A look of confusion was clearly visible on Gento Ringo's face.
Seeing her like this, Xu Ning suddenly realized that it seemed to be that person from that day...
Upon realizing this, Xu Ning quickly changed the subject.
"Haha, if you don't mind that this time is inappropriate, may I ask for another fortune slip? After all, the fortune slips at Narukami Taisha are really accurate."
Gento Ringo, smelling the rich scent of alcohol on Xu Ning, took Xu Ning's words as drunken ramblings. However, upon hearing that Xu Ning wanted to ask for a fortune slip, she informed Inashiro Hotaru and smiled as she invited Xu Ning to the fortune-telling room.
"Let's take this one!"
Xu Ning casually poured a wooden stick from the divination tube that Xuan Dong Lin Qing had taken out and handed it to Xuan Dong Lin Qing.
"The symbol on this fortune slip corresponds to... this one, here you go!"
Following the symbols on the wooden slips, Xuan Donglin took out a slip of paper and handed it to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning opened it casually.
"—Great Fortune—"
"When the clouds disperse and the moon shines brightly, those who draw this divination slip will find great fortune."
"When the mind is as clear as a mirror, all desires will be fulfilled."
"..."
"Everything goes smoothly because you have a clear path in your heart."
Xu Ning laughed heartily after reading the fortune slip. "Exactly! It's perfectly written. What you ask for will come true. I knew the fortune slip from Narukami Shrine was accurate."
Xu Ning, who had drawn the lucky number, was in an even happier mood. He sat back down and drank several more bowls of wine with everyone before knowing it was time for him to take his leave.
After all, now that they've returned from the Fox Palace, they must have countless memories and longings to share. I am, after all, still an "outsider," and it's not appropriate for me to stay here any longer.
Just as Xu Ning was about to say goodbye, he suddenly saw a box with four short legs leap across the pond, somersault in the air, and land in front of everyone.
"This is... a blocky... cat?"
Xu Ning was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, but Yae no Miko greeted him with a smile first.
"Oh, it's Qi Liangliang. What? Are you here to bring me a gift again?"
The square-shaped cat box flipped over and transformed into a pretty girl with two tails, who replied with a radiant smile, "Not this time. This time, the recipient of the letter is someone called Lord Xu Ning."
Xu Ning hadn't expected anyone to send him a letter, and gestured with his hand.
"I am Xu Ning."
The catwoman named Kira immediately turned to Xu Ning and smiled, "Hello, this is Komaha Express. This is your letter, please keep it safe. It's a cat box express delivery, delivered within half a day. If you are satisfied with my service, please give me a five-star review."
Xu Ning smiled and checked a five-star rating on the receipt. "Thank you for your smile and service. I am very satisfied."
Qi Liangliang wagged her tail happily twice and thanked them repeatedly.
Yae no Miko invited Kira, "Would you like to come and have a drink with us? Let me tell you, there's a master cat food maker among us here!"
Xu Ning clearly saw the catgirl struggle with her decision, but in the end, her professionalism prevailed over her appetite, and Qi Liangliang transformed into a cat carrier and quickly ran away.
Instead of listening to Yae no Miko and the others recount the strange tales of the cat demon, Xu Ning examined the letter in his hand.
The cover is signed Goro, and there is a small dog paw stamp in the lower right corner of his name.
Open the envelope and take out a piece of paper from inside.
Xu Ning frowned after just one glance.
The letter was written by Goro himself, and its contents were still about the Evil Eye incident on Hachiyū Island before the ceasefire.
Despite discovering the existence of the Evil Eye in advance, thwarting the Fatui's plot, and saving many of the Coral Palace soldiers who used the Evil Eye by using his own sake.
Even Zheping, whose life force was most severely depleted, gradually recovered with the help of the "Qianyan" liquor left behind by Xu Ning.
However, Teppei has recently encountered a new situation.
