Chapter 117 Warm a bowl of fried tofu and a female fox
Looking at the silver-haired Shota behind the desk who stood on tiptoes to barely reveal his dull hair, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Yagami's mind.
So that’s it, is the reason why you can’t see the other person because you are too short?
No, now is not the time to worry about such details.
Such furry ears should definitely not be a physiological characteristic of humans.
As expected, the other party's true identity should be a monster, and a genuine fox monster.
But, since you are a monster, why do you appear here?
Moreover, he also asked a puzzling question.
Ask yourself if foxes are sold here...
What does this mean?
Ye Shenkong was also a little confused about this.
However, he also knew in his heart that before he understood the situation, it was best not to easily anger the other party.
Being so close to this distance, and I don't have the help of limited gloves, even if the opponent's size looks like a shota, if he really makes a move, I'm afraid I will be killed in an instant...
..
But judging from the other party's demeanor, this rare clear look seems to be easy to deceive...
In an instant, Ye Shenkong made up his mind.
He didn't show the slightest panic or fear, but lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Fox Shota's face, and asked calmly.
"Oh? How did you know this place?"
"Yeah, we knew this was indeed a place selling foxes!"
The eyes of the shota fox demon bloomed with joy.
He then raised his head proudly and proudly placed his small hands on the somewhat worn white robe on his chest.
"It's the taste."
"We came here just because of the smell."
"You mean...taste?"
Ye Shenkong frowned slightly.
"Yes, our noses are very sensitive and we can smell the scent of fox here."
Xiao Shota raised his head and looked at Ya Shenzong in front of him, with a confident expression on his face.
"And it comes from you, boss."
The scent of fox...why do you have this smell on yourself?
Hearing this, Yashenkong couldn't help but fall into thinking.
Is it because he has come into contact with Inari God’s fox envoy?
Or should I say...
Before Ye Shenkong could think up the result, the young lady in front of him could not wait to speak.
His big black eyes stared at Ya Shenzong unblinkingly.
"Then boss, how do you sell your fox?"
"Well, don't be impatient yet."
Yashenkong waved his hand and motioned for the other party to take a seat.
"Before I sell you the fox, according to the procedure, you still need to answer me a few questions."
"Oh, good."
Little Shota immediately jumped on the sofa, dangling his short legs, waiting for Yagami Sora's questions.
"So, first question, where are you from?"
"Jia Fei, Ji Fei Meng Shan." The little fox demon immediately replied.
"The humans at the foot of the mountain call me Bai Zangzhu. Boss, just call me Xiaobai."
Kai?
Hearing this term, Yashenkong couldn't help but be slightly startled.
This is what people called Yamanashi Prefecture in ancient times, which is about 200 kilometers away from here.
Even though we are hundreds of kilometers away, can we still keenly capture the atmosphere emanating from Tokyo...
It seems that the other party is not some little monster...
Ya Shenkong continued to ask.
"So Xiaobai, how do you plan to pay for the fox?"
"We still know this, it is a currency that should be given to humans."
After saying that, Xiao Shota stood up and came to Yagami Sora again.
He took out a few yellow copper coins from the pocket at his waist and placed them in a row on the table.
After placing them, he looked at the coins with some reluctance, then bared his teeth and stretched out two fingers confidently.
"Boss, warm up a bowl of fried tofu and bring in a female fox."
It thought for a while and added.
"Oh, by the way, the best color is white. We like white hair."
Looking at the copper coins on the table, Ye Shenkong's eyes suddenly became thoughtful.
Perhaps because the owner cares very much about these coins, the writing on their surfaces is still clearly visible.
It is a Kanei copper coin from the Edo period. The current market price is about one thousand yen.
However, the value of these copper coins does not lie in their own price, but through this coin, the specific age of the fox demon can be roughly inferred.
It's about three hundred to four hundred years ago. If nothing else happens, it's likely to be a level three singularity...
He looks like just a cute little shota, but is he actually a big monster who has been cultivating for hundreds of years?
Ye Shenkong asked thoughtfully.
"So, last question."
"Xiaobai, why do you want to buy a fox?"
In this regard, Bai Zangzhu did not hide it and spoke frankly.
"We want to take her home as a wife."
"Being a wife?"
Hearing this answer, Yashenkong couldn't help but look a little strange.
"Yes." Bai Zangzhu nodded his little head.
"The purpose of our training this time is to become a truly powerful fox demon."
"For this reason, we must grow up quickly."
"Before we came out to practice, my father once told me that we can only grow up after we find a wife."
"But my father also said that we can only find a wife when we grow up."
"So we haven't been able to figure out when we can find my wife."
To be honest, I think you may have misunderstood what your father meant...
Seeing Bai Zangzhu trapped in a closed logical loop, Yagami Sora couldn't help but vomit silently.
He listened to the other person continue to speak.
"Until one winter, we rescued a human who was trapped in the mountains by snow and wind."
"In return, that human gave us something called 'money'."
"It says that no matter what you have, you can buy it as long as you have it."
"That's when we realized it."
"It turns out that my wife is not looking for her, but she is going to buy her."
At this point, Xiao Zhengtai's mood suddenly dropped, his long eyelashes half covered his eye sockets, and he whispered.
"Originally, we could have bought a wife long ago and grown into a truly powerful fox demon."
"But, we found that even though we had money, we could no longer find foxes anywhere."
"That's it, we'll wait until the trees in Mengshan have been changed several times."
"Until this time, we smelled the scent of fox again, so we rushed over as soon as possible."
"No matter what this time, we must buy a wife!"
"I see, you want to become more mature, right? It's indeed a good reason." Ye Shenkong pondered.
"Yeah, boss, do you think so too?"
Bai Zangzhu seemed to have found a like-minded colleague, with a bright smile on his round face.
"but--"
Yagami Sora's tone changed unexpectedly, and he said apologetically.
"It's a pity that I can't sell the fox to you."
"Huh? Why?"
This answer was obviously somewhat beyond Bai Zangzhu's expectations, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little dull.
Ye Shenkong sighed softly.
"There is nothing we can do, prices are rising."
"Perhaps this money could buy a cute white-furred fox in your time, but now, you can't even buy a handful of fox fur."
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
Bai Zangzhu's eyes widened.
It lowered its head and glanced at the empty pocket on its waist, wondering.
"But boss, we have no money anymore..."
"Can you sell it to us cheaper? I'll bring you apples from Mengshan next time..."
Seeing the other party's unconcealable feeling of disappointment, Ye Shenkong reluctantly let go.
"Well, if you can add something more precious, I will make an exception and sell it to you."
"Really?" Bai Zangzhu raised his head in surprise.
"Then, what is considered a precious thing?"
"For example, curse seal." Ye Shenkong muttered.
"Curse seal?"
Bai Zangzhu looked at Ya Shenkong in surprise, and then his little head shook like a rattle.
"No way, no way!"
"Father said that the curse seal is a very important thing. You should cherish it as you cherish your own life. We can't give the curse seal to you."
"So, has your father ever said what a wife is?"
Ye Shenzong raised another question at the right time.
Koshota answered without hesitation.
"Of course, in front of my mother, my father told us that my wife is something worth risking my life to protect—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was already stunned.
Then he hit his palm and said excitedly.
"Ah, is that so?"
"It turns out that my wife wants to buy it back with the curse seal!"
Looking at the excited little fox demon in front of him, Ye Shenkong smiled.
"Well, as long as you understand."
"Okay, we agree, I can give you the curse seal." Bai Zangzhu raised his head and said, "Where can I get my wife?"
"Don't worry, there is only the last step left in the process." Ye Shenkong reassured.
"Huh? Why is there still more?"
Bai Zangzhu was a little surprised.
"This is based on the happiness of both parties. After all, from my standpoint, I can't just sell the fox to other foxes with ulterior motives." Ye Shenkong said seriously.
"Hmm...makes sense."
After Bai Zangzhu thought deeply, he nodded.
Ye Shenkong smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, the final process is very simple."
"In order to understand your character, you have to work in this firm for a period of time."
"If you can get my approval within this period of time, I will sell the fox to you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zangzhu's eyes suddenly shone with light, and even the hair on his head stood up excitedly.
