Thinking of this, Natsuki couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "Didn't you say that you were confined for ten days?" How come it is that it is not time yet? ”

When Jiucheng Liang heard Xia Shu ask, he was also very angry: "Because they are talking about ten days in the confinement room!" ”

When Natsuki heard her say this, she also remembered that there were some special prohibitions that could make time pass slowly in a certain place, and it was possible that a day in it could be equivalent to a normal number of years in the outside world.

So he couldn't help asking, "So how long is a day in this confinement cell equivalent to the outside world?" ”

The Third Elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained, "One day in the confinement room is equivalent to a month in the outside world. ”

Natsuki nodded, and then asked casually, "Then what is the lifespan of your cat demons?" ”

"This," the third elder was a little embarrassed, "we don't know, because we have lived too long, where do we remember how many years we have lived?" ”

"Ignorance." Jiucheng Liang glanced at the three elders with disgust, then turned his head, out of sight and out of mind.

The three elders who were disgusted by the civet cat were also heartbroken and couldn't breathe.

The other elders also started talking, but no one knew how old they were now.

Natsuki couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Jiucheng-chan is right, you guys are really ignorant." In fact, if you want to know how old you are now, wouldn't it be nice to recall what major events happened in the year you were born? In this way, you can roughly estimate your current age. ”

The elders suddenly realized this, and then thanked Xia Shu again gratefully.

Xia Shu waved his hand casually, and then put the booklet into his own space, this technique made these elders widen their eyes in surprise, speaking of which, these elders are very old, so their skin is also wrinkled, and their eyes are quite small, because the body is old, and the skin on the face has begun to shrink, so it looks a little scary to open their eyes wide.

However, Natsuki is used to seeing demons and monsters, and he doesn't care much about them, but Jiucheng Liang is still very disgusted and just looks away. Xia Shu guessed in his heart that maybe it was because of this that Jiucheng Liang would call these elders old men.

"Xia Shujun, are you doing this storage technique?" The Third Elder asked in surprise.

Natsuki suddenly thought that the kappa Jiumu Lian seemed to ask the same question, so he also nodded and admitted with a smile.

In fact, it can also be regarded as a storage technique, and it is admitted directly, which also prevents them from asking themselves what space is.

"It seems that Xia Shujun really has the memory of a thousand years ago," the third elder said with emotion, "Storage, how long ago was the spell that was circulated?" I can't even remember. ”

Natsuki's interest also came: "It seems that you have lived for a long time?" ”

"That's right, he's the oldest of them all." Jiucheng Liang sat on the table next to him and said casually.

"So how old is Kujo-chan now?" Natsuki asked suddenly. After all, according to what they said, there is only such a small civet cat left in the civet clan, so will Jiucheng Liang's age actually be very big?

Jiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then pounced on Xia Shu with his teeth and claws: "Stinky child! It's very rude to know the age of a lady! ”

Natsuki raised his eyebrows slightly, it turns out that Ryo Kujo also knows the word politeness? Of course, he didn't dare to say it.

Smiling to dodge Ryo Jiucheng's attack, Natsuki said, "Does Jiucheng-chan call me a child?" Is it possible that you can be older than me? ”

Jiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, yes, Xia Shu's soul is more than a thousand years old, and he is obviously not as old as Xia Shu, why are you in such a hurry?

So Jiucheng Liang immediately withdrew his hand, and then still looked cold and ascetic: "Hmph, then I still don't care about an old man like you." ”

suddenly changed from a child to an old man, and Natsuki could only shrug helplessly.

"Ahem," the third elder cleared his throat and asked Xia Shu, "Xia Shujun, you have traveled all the way here, you must not have eaten dinner yet, right?" Why don't you eat a little bit with you? His eyes were full of invitation, "Today is the cooking of Lord Jiucheng, don't miss it when you pass by." ”

"Huh," Natsuki looked at Ryo Kujo, who was already standing on the table coldly, in surprise, "It turns out that Ryo Jiucheng knows how to cook?" ”

"Hey, ignorant human, what kind of eyes are you!" Jiucheng Liang's hand turned into a cat's paw, and then he waved his fist at Natsuki threateningly, "Lord Ben can do anything, okay?" It's not like some demons who are lazy and lazy, they don't cultivate well every day, and they don't know how to do anything. As he spoke, he glanced at the elders with disgust again.

The elders are probably used to being disgusted by the cool days of Jiucheng, so they all warmly invite Natsuki to the back of the shrine, where there is a small courtyard, where they ate just now.

Natsuki nodded, and followed this group of very enthusiastic elders. As he walked, Natsuki looked at the decoration of the shrine and found that there were many similarities with Inari Shrine.

It was only when I got to the back of the shrine that I found that there was a cave here.

Behind Inari Shrine is the cliff, and then the small pavilion above is where Natsuki often holds drinking parties, but the shrine here is a small courtyard, and there are even cherry blossom trees, but because it's not the season to bloom, it's not very beautiful, but a huge cherry blossom tree, it still looks quite exciting.

In other words, there is such a cherry blossom tree between the small annex and the shrine.

Xia Shu followed these elders inside, and the three elders asked Xia Shu as they walked in front, "Xia Shu-kun shouldn't be allergic to fish, right?" ”

Natsuki nodded: "Not allergic." ”

"That's good. Ah, I have to say, the salmon dishes made by Lord Jiucheng are really delicious," the third elder said, feeling like his saliva was about to flow out.

Natsuki looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he still held back.

As he spoke, the group arrived at the other courtyard, and when they entered the room, Natsuki saw several pairs of chopsticks on the table, presumably when Jiucheng Liang came back with him before, they were still eating dinner.

"Looks like I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone's dinner by coming." Natsuki laughed.

The elders waved their hands again and again: "Don't bother, don't bother, just eat too much, digest and digest." ”

"You know you're eating too much?" Jiucheng Liang, the civet cat who came with them, said disgustedly, she had become a civet again, and jumped to a position in the center in three or two clicks.

Looking at such a skillful pace, Natsuki guessed that the position was probably the special seat of Jiucheng Liang.

Jiucheng Liang, who has become in the form of a cat, is obviously much more relaxed, straightened his body directly on the table, stretched his waist, and looks like a cat with a bright spirit, which can be said to be very good-looking.

"Xia Shujun, you can sit next to Lord Jiucheng." The three elders looked around, and finally found an empty place next to Jiucheng Liang, probably because everyone was afraid of Jiucheng Liang, so it was obviously a very small table, and Jiucheng Liang was specially divided into a large area, and the seven or eight elders sat tightly together.

Xia Shu looked at the layout of the table, and he also had a general understanding of the situation, so he didn't refuse, and went directly to sit next to Jiucheng Liang.

Jiucheng Liang didn't say anything at this time, and even moved his lying position a little and moved a little place for Natsuki.

When the elders saw this scene, they breathed a sigh of relief, they were just worried that Jiucheng Liang would deliberately not wait to see Natsuki, which would be embarrassing.

So the three elders ran around his short body and went to get a set of dishes and chopsticks for Natsuki.

"Thank you." Natsuki politely took the dishes and chopsticks.

Then they started to eat dinner together.

After taking a bite of the salmon sushi strongly recommended by the three elders, Natsuki nodded with satisfaction, it is indeed delicious, it can be melted in the mouth, it seems that the cuisine of Jiucheng Liang is indeed good.

"Huh, how's it going? Mankind. Jiucheng Liang in the form of a civet cat proudly walked to Natsuki's plate: "It's much better than you humans, right?" ”

Natsuki thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "I know a canning shop, and his grilled fish is very good. ”

"You mean mine isn't as good as his?" The civet cat was a little fried in an instant.

"The two have their own characteristics," Natsuki said with a smile, "If I really want to fight one high, I really think that store is a little more delicious." ”

How could Ryo Kujo allow his proud work to be belittled? immediately jumped on Natsuki's head, because she did it on purpose, so Natsuki also acquiesced to her scratching on her head.

"No way!" After Jiucheng had enough of the cool and jumped down, he still felt very unhappy, and suddenly meowed at Xia Shu, with an extremely murderous expression. It's a pity that Xia Shu can't understand cat language, so the two of them stared at each other for a long time.

And the elders who understood what Jiucheng Liang said, their faces changed again.

The third elder hurriedly said, "Lord Jiucheng, we can't live without you here, if you go out, what should we do here?" ”

Natsuki then remembered a strange question, why are these cat demons very respectful to Ryo Kujo? Now that he heard the Third Elder say this, Natsuki probably guessed something, but he still asked, "Why can't Jiucheng-chan leave here?" ”

The third elder glanced at Jiucheng Liang, who had already made up his mind, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, our enchantment needs to rely on Lord Jiucheng." ”
