288: Chapter 40: Gathering Wishes Sacrifice (1)_2 288: Chapter 40: Gathering Wishes Sacrifice (1)_2 Shiyu Ling frowned and tapped on the table repeatedly.

“Chuyun Linai has ulterior motives?”

“How is that possible?

If the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect really wanted to make a move, they would have coordinated with the Ninja within the Huangquan Shrine to take us down long ago.”

Gongsun Ce pondered Linai’s tone of voice as she spoke, gradually formulating a plan in his mind.

“Lady Hu Li knows the elder in red, and she can run a hostel in the city area, so her relationship with the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect must be good.

I think she is likely a benevolent Direct God…

and Miss Linai will probably come to talk to us about this matter soon.”

Before he finished speaking, a knock came from outside the door, and the little witch’s voice rang out in the corridor, “Is it convenient to come in?

I have something to discuss.”

“Do your Netherworld Eyes also predict the future?” “Please refer to it as basic deduction.”

Gongsun Ce opened the door; outside stood a girl wearing a loose sports shirt and long pants.

He didn’t wait for Linai to speak and said, “Lady Hu Li is Lady Fox.”

“As expected, you have the ability to see through the truth~,” the witch seemed not surprised at all, “Auntie Hu Li’s formal title is God of Yuzhuan, She is a Direct God that blesses commercial prosperity.”

Business prosperity?

A guardian deity of commerce opening a hostel…

No, does tourism also count as part of the commercial concept?

“That’s so.

Xinzhou City is a tourist city, where many citizens rely on the service industry, such as hostels, for their livelihood.

Business prosperity here means more visitors and more consumption, which is why the God of Yuzhuan opened a hot spring hostel.”

Linai had nothing more to say.

“I didn’t even say anything yet…

Little Ce, you’re thinking too fast.”

“Merely smart, don’t mind it.” The Superpower User stepped aside, and the witch, with her hands behind her back, entered and sat down on a chair.

“That’s right, the God of Yuzhuan is actually a Lord of God closely related to us.

Since ancient times, She has been worshipped by the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect and has protected this place’s peace.”

Shiyu Ling said nonchalantly, “So, what does this have to do with us?”

Linai took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth, her expression also a bit confused.

“To be honest, I’m also a bit unclear.

The God of Yuzhuan said we are very lucky today…”

Shiyu Ling glared and said, “Today’s luck is clearly worse than yesterday’s!”

“But she said the connection is golden,” the little witch crunched on her candy, “so, the God of Yuzhuan wants to invite you to a place tonight, maybe you’ll encounter something good.”

The Superpower User and the Hunter exchanged a look, the latter asking first, “Where to?”

Linai smiled.

“The Divine Rite Gathering of the Gods, are the two of you interested?”

The divine ceremony of hidden gods?

Gongsun Ce immediately recalled the persistent gray robe and the destiny whirlpool above Zero Island.

He realized this was an excellent opportunity to gather information, but first looked towards Shiyu Ling, “Ladies first.”

“I’m not interested.”

I knew it, you stubborn woman.

But this level of obstruction was nothing; Gongsun Ce believed he had grasped this woman’s temperament over these past few days, and in less than half a minute, he could make her change her mind.

The Superpower User cleared his throat, sounding slightly disappointed, “That’s a pity, I’ve never been to the festival on Zero Island.”

He gave Linai a look, and the little witch cooperatively pitched in.

“Eh?

Little Ce, you’ve never been?

It’s quite interesting~”

“I’ve only seen it in animations before, yukatas, fireworks, goldfish scooping, taiyaki…

what else was there, I can’t remember very well.”

Shiyu Ling’s ears twitched.

Pretending not to notice, Linai continued in a tempting tone, “Now it’s spring, so probably no fireworks festival.

However, there will be open-air boxing, sumo, dance performances, and even boomerang stalls~”

“The festival hosted personally by the hidden gods must be more varied than ordinary gatherings!” Gongsun Ce sighed regretfully, “But alas, since Miss Shiyu doesn’t want to go, speaking of this is meaningless.

Let’s think about what to eat tonight instead.”

“Hmph,” Shiyu Ling snorted coldly.

The Superpower User knew someone too proud to let go was now intrigued, he feigned dramatically, “Ah!

Could it be that Miss Shiyu is willing to indulge my whims?”

“Don’t get the wrong idea, I want to see what these hidden gods are up to.”

The black-haired woman stood up, swept back her long hair energetically, and said, “Let’s go!”

(Such an easy person to understand…

The soul of a travel enthusiast is burning in Miss Shiyu…)

Linai almost blurted out her mockery, she pointed outside, “Well then, let’s go to worship the God of Yuzhuan together!”

The God of Yuzhuan—also known as the fox owner—favored a surprisingly simple offering called deep-fried tofu.

This food was not unfamiliar to Gongsun Ce; in the northern part of the Empire, it’s called tofu bubble, and in some southern regions, it’s referred to as tofu bomb, which is actually the type of chunky tofu common in hotpots and spicy stir-fries.

This item was especially easy to buy in Xinzhou City, because the businesses here almost all had a fox god statue enshrined behind their shops: the clothing store tied a red scarf to the fox, the souvenir shop hung bells on the fox’s ears,
