(・∀・) Today, too, I bring you the true stories of Zero Island.

Purple Island has six ancient shrines, locally revered as the Six Great Shrines.

Among them, the oldest is the Huangquan Shrine located at the southernmost tip, dedicated to the god of good fortune and benevolence, Yidou Nengmai; and the most popular is the Inari Shrine to the north of Xinzhou City, dedicated to the patron god of business, God of Yuzhuan.

By the way, the tofu in Xinzhou City is delicious, thanks to the local legend that the God of Yuzhuan enjoys eating fried tofu.

Rina recommended a hot springs inn called Yan Spring House, which is an old-style Japanese wooden building located in the old district of Xinzhou City, boasting a business history of over a hundred years.

Gongsun Ce thought this inn truly lived up to its name as a century-old establishment, unique in various aspects.

Its distinctiveness was mainly evident in the red lacquered wooden bridge that connected the main entrance, the steamer-like stacked architectural façade, the female servers in kimonos, and the big fluffy tail behind the proprietress.

“…”

Gongsun Ce pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to convince himself this was perfectly normal.

The swaying tail might just be a decoration on the kimono, the pointed ears standing on the head probably a hairband, the gleaming eyes, the long mouth, and the yellow fur and whiskers on the face were…

No, he couldn’t convince himself.

No matter how you looked at it, the owner of Yan Spring House was a big fox wearing a kimono!

The fox spirit noticed his gaze, turned her head, and smiled humanely, revealing her sharp teeth.

“Is there anything I can help you with, guest?”

Gongsun Ce awkwardly waved his hand.

“Sorry, I just had an accident with a sewer pipe bursting, haven’t quite recovered yet.”

“Oh dear…

how could that happen…”

The expression on the fox’s face seemed heartfelt rather than an act.

Oh no, I don’t want to be pitied by a fox spirit!!

While internally screaming, Gongsun Ce backed away, thinking that between fighting ninjas in the morning and dealing with monsters in the afternoon, his day had been indeed very eventful.

He wanted to tell Rina that something was amiss but then noticed the little witch smilingly walked up to the fox owner and waved.

“Auntie Hu Li, long time no see~”

So, because it’s a fox you call her Hu Li!

This name is too random!

And stop playing with puns here, I almost burst into laughter!!

“Oh!” The fox owner’s eyes literally lit up, “Isn’t this little Rina!

It’s been over three years since we last met.

You’ve grown up~ How is Feiyi recently?”

“Grandma is also very spirited.” Rina pointed at the two with her thumb, “These two are Grandma’s guests, please take good care of them.”

Feiyi…

I remember now, Chuyun Feiyi is Rina’s grandmother, and also the Divine Master of Huangquan Shrine.

From the tone of it, the proprietress seems to have a good relationship with the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect, so she’s probably not a malevolent hidden deity.

Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, silently muttering to himself: A real fox and a little fox chatting about family…

“That’s really rude of me.” The fox proprietress walked out from behind the counter, skipping the formalities and personally led the three deeper into the inn, “Please follow me, I think you really need…

a rest.” The proprietress chose her words cautiously.

Ma’am, it’s okay to just say that we need a hot bath.

Rina bounced next to Madam Hu Li, chatting about her grandmother.

Gongsun Ce deliberately slowed down, going behind Shiyu Ling and casually asked, “What do you say?”

“I’m going first, no arguments.” Shiyu Ling replied fiercely.

Alright, I get that you haven’t realized the owner’s true nature…

Gongsun Ce touched his chest, feeling somewhat helpless.

Ever since arriving on Zero Island, his Netherworld Eyes had been revealing unexpected things every day.

If Xinzhou City had a fox running a hotel, who knows, the next city might have a tanuki working as a reporter.

If the locals knew that such bizarre gods were really hidden among them, they would probably be quite scared, right?

“Are you picking a shower or the hot springs?”

Shiyu Ling said in despair, “Are you really planning to soak in the hot springs with that smell on you?!

Where’s your public decency?!”

Although it was my oversight, it’s amazing that you’d criticize my public decency…

The Superpower User shrugged, checked his phone again, but Yan Qi still hadn’t replied.

He had sent several vague messages to Yan Qi early in the morning, stating it was urgent and needed immediate response upon seeing them.

That annoying rascal hadn’t replied a word till now, no telling what he was up to.

Hoping to get a response before bed.

Thinking this, the Superpower User hurried to catch up with the others.

·

Forty minutes later.

“Pop pop~ pop pop~”

The large green jelly on the table wobbled, and Shiyu Ling kept poking the Slime, thoroughly amused.

“If we ignore the danger level, this thing’s pretty cute.”

If we ignore the danger level, you’re pretty cute too.

…Darn.

Odd thoughts popped up in my mind, must be the influence of a dream!

Freshly bathed, Gongsun Ce vigorously shook his head and delicately reminded, “Let’s not mention the fact that this thing could digest you in a second—it just ate a stomach full of murky clay an hour ago.” The three had managed to escape the Impermanence Skill by using the Slime to swallow the mud.

“Don’t you want me to die of disgust!!” Gongsun Ce used Telekinesis to catch the Slime thrown at him.

“It was you who kept poking it!” “Stop it, you’re making my already bad mood even worse!!”

Can’t you speak more reasonably… Gongsun Ce turned the Slime back into a handkerchief, shoved it in his pocket.

“Let’s talk about something else.

Inn owner, Lady Hu Li, is a hidden God, did you notice?”
