In the early morning of the next day, the monster Shou Wu pushed open the gate, ready to clean the fallen leaves in front of the courtyard, but the gate was just pushed open, and there was a small figure sitting on the steps, the little head was little by little, Shou Wu was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on the extremely conspicuous clothes on the girl's body.

Dressed in white and scarlet skirts, his head full of black hair is hanging down like a waterfall.

Witch!

At the same time, the little head hung down heavily, Saito's body trembled steadily, and then he woke up, his expression was still a little dazed, as if he felt something, turned his head to look at the somewhat sluggish 'Shouwu', was slightly stunned, and showed a bright smile.

"Hello."

Bang!

The next moment, 'Shou Wu's body trembled slightly, and the palm of his hand snapped hard and directly closed the vermilion gate heavily, Saito's little face stiffened slightly, and then he pounced directly on the door, clenched his palms into fists, and slapped the door heavily.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why close the door! ”

"I'm looking for someone, no, I'm looking for God!"

"Please open the door! You are breaking the law by doing this, you know?! ”

Violate the law?

And on the other side of the door, the corners of 'Shou Wu's mouth twitched slightly-

A witch with an extremely pure breath ran outside the mansion of the King of Hundred Demons at five o'clock in the morning and said that she was looking for a god?

"I must not have woken up yet......"

…………………………………………………

A moment later, in the Beidou room.

"Hmmm, it's delicious, it's delicious......"

Chu Lie sat cross-legged on the cushion, watching the kneeling girl in front of him gobbling up food, turning his head slightly sideways, and said to the 'Shou Wu' on the side: "I'm sorry, please take another piece of food." ”

"Okay, okay."

"Your Excellency, wait a minute."

'Shou Wu', who maintained a young appearance, was slightly stunned for a moment, then hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked away quickly, Chu Lie retracted his gaze, looked at the girl whose cheeks were slightly bulging because of too much food, shook his head slightly, with a hint of softness on his face, and said slowly:

"Don't worry, there's a lot more."

"Eat slowly."

"Uh-huh, thank you, Lord Kami."

Saito's little head clicked quickly, but the disappearance of the food on the table did not slow down at all, he picked up the last piece of sushi with his fingers, stuffed it directly into his bulging mouth, picked up a cup from the table, drank it directly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and showed a look of satisfaction and relaxation on his little face, and let out a big sigh:

"What a sweet milk ......"

"Super ~~ satisfied!"

“………………”

Chu Lie looked at the milk that had already been declared dead before he took a sip, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes looked at the little witch girl with a little happy face, and said, "Since you are full, then let's say, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

"And ...... Did something happen to you on this day? How come the protective means I left you behind are gone? ”

"Ah~ Lord God, did you mean this 'sword shadow'?"

Saito was stunned for a moment, then touched his smooth forehead with his palm, and said with a smile:

"It's already used, but I'm not in any danger."

“…… Such. ”

Chu Lie bowed slightly, and did not delve into how the girl used it, he thought that some things had a good impression of this stubborn little witch, but it did not mean that he would be interested in digging into other people's privacy, so he changed the topic and asked:

"So, you're looking for me for something else?"

"Tell me about it."

"If it's not too troublesome, I'll help you."

"Huh......?! That's great! ”

Saito's right fist hit his left palm hard, smiled very brightly, moved back a few times, and then retracted his expression, straightened his clothes, and bowed softly.

The white palms were facing each other in front of him, his fingers touched, and then the hem of his clothes spread softly on the ground like a cloud, and the girl's forehead gently touched the back of her hand, and her voice was soft, but solemn and solemn.

"In Shimosaito smoke, Saito separates the witch."

"Please allow me to be by your side, Lord God!"

“…… I'm not a god. ”

Chu Lie closed his eyes with a slight headache, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and opened his mouth to correct: "Call me Chu Lie." ”

"The name of God should not be taken lightly."

Saito's soft voice sounded, still maintaining the posture of bowing: "The shrine maiden is the one who serves the gods, and the gods are the spirits. ”

"That's the only prayer Smoked has to offer."

Chu Lie frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but at this time, the girl carefully raised her little head and peeked at Chu Lie, the expression on her face was as pitiful as a little milk cat about to be abandoned by her master, so that Chu Lie's words of refusal were directly stuck in her throat, difficult to say.

This was even more of a headache for Chu Lie than drawing his sword and cutting off the head of the demon.

But the evil demon is to be killed, and the refusal is also to be said, there are so many things in the world, how can it be said that it is difficult not to do it?

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"Tick-"

At this moment, the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Chu Lie's ears, making his expression slightly stunned, and the rejection in his mouth also stopped abruptly.

"The system is aware of the host's god slot."

"The system has found a pious person, and the pious person is a clergyman or shrine maiden."

"The system suggests that the host keep this person and use it as a hub to forcibly pry the 'Law Dawn' contained in the Dawn Sword."

"Please sign a contract according to the rules of this world, and after signing it, the shrine maiden will belong to the host and become a ......"

The last words of the system gradually blurred, and it was not true to hear it, which made Chu Lie's brows furrow slightly, but the meaning in the system's words was clear enough, Chu Lie's eyes flashed slightly, and then he looked at the witch girl with a look of gain and loss on his face, and after weighing it in his heart for a moment, he pursed his lips and slowly spoke:

"Do you really want to follow me?"

"Uh-huh!"

Saito Xun's little head nodded quickly, Chu Lie exhaled lightly a breath of turbidity, and asked in a deep voice:

"If you follow me, your life will be in danger, and you may never be able to return to your hometown and see your family."

"I don't have a family anymore...... Without gods, the existence of shrine maidens is incomplete. ”

Saito Xun bowed down again, his expression was pious, and his voice was soft, but the firmness in it was extremely clear even to Chu Lie, which made the expression in his eyes deeper and deeper, his right hand lightly clasped the Dawn Holy Sword, and above his left hand, the rules of this world turned into pale golden streamers entangled, and the cold and quiet voice continued to sound, word by word, as if asking.

“…… You will enter the battlefield and you may die there. ”

And there was no hesitation in that answer.

"Where the gods are, where our bodies are, where our souls are."

"I ...... He could also die in battle at any time. ”

"So ......"

Saito Xun straightened up, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl looked at Chu Lie seriously, her black hair slid down her back like a waterfall, and spread on the ground with the scarlet white clothes, forming a magnificent and dazzling flower, and in the center of the flower, a pair of clear and clean eyes looked at Chu Lie, and there was a smile on the corner of the witch's mouth, soft like the clear wind in the sky, and the shining sea in the distance was like the cleanest whisper of snow falling.

"My soul will dissipate around you."

"A shrine maiden is a person who serves the gods."

"Whether it is the divine realm, the human world, or the banks of the yellow springs where the flowers bloom on the other side, this will never change."

“……”

"Your wishes, I do hear ......"

Feeling the sincerity and firmness in those words, Chu Lie couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the palm entangled with some kind of rule gently pressed on Saito Xun's forehead, and the faint golden light swept away, facing the crystal light like the morning light, Saito Xun seemed to see Chu Lie smile slightly, the smile was very weak, but it was like the wind blowing down from the top of the mountain, which made the girl squint her eyes comfortably, and at the same time, a sharp qi appeared on her forehead.

In the smile like a mountain wind, Chu Lie's voice sounded:

"Saito smoked ...... Thou art destined. ”

"I allow you to follow me longer than your dependents."

"May you and I not lose this fate."

"So, Done."

The pale golden streamer slowly dissipated, Saito Xun raised his eyes and looked at Chu Lie quietly, there was a windy corridor, and the cherry blossoms that would never wither and scatter in the courtyard were flying, following the wind from the window and scattering on the girl's black hair, the temperament was quiet and pure, not like a person in the world.

Cuckoo......

But at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the girl's belly, and then she hugged her little belly in Chu Lie's strange gaze, her face turned red with shame, and after a while, she said in a weak voice of mosquitoes and flies:

"Kami-sama, I'...... Some hungry ......."

Chu Lie was stunned, his eyes unconsciously swept over the clean plate on the wooden table on the side, but he said:

"Don't worry."

"Shou Wuhe has already gone to fetch food, and he should be back soon."

“…… Well. ”

And at the same time, outside the Beidou room.

Shou Wu held the plate, and his mouth that wanted to exclaim was hugged tightly by the crows and tengus together, I don't know if it was because of suffocation or fear, the handsome face was pale, and his eyes were full of panic.

In the house of the Gen family, in the house of the lord of the ghosts and spirits, the king of the hundred ghosts and nights, the great tengu......

There is a god living there?!

Puff~

Shou Wu sat directly on the ground, made a loud noise, and muttered in a low voice:

"O Lord of the Spirits......"

The crowen tengu flying beside him angrily picked up Shouwu's head, flew backwards, and scolded in a low voice:

"Don't hurry up yet!"

"Go inform the General!"

"Oooh!"

In the arms of the Raven Tengu, the head suddenly realized his gratitude, and the body put down the plate, and chased after him at great speed, and ran towards the old man's room with his head and the Raven Tengu.

Whoop -

At this moment, Chu Lie opened the door, his eyes lowered and fell on the plate, and then he looked up at the black feather that fell from the corner not far away, and shook his head slightly.

In the past two days, he had already guessed that the old man regarded him as a god or something.

Therefore, he directly ignored the behavior of the two little demons just now, and walked back with the dinner plate.

And a moment later, in the room of the Great Tengu.

"What, Admiral, you got it?!"

Raven Tengu looked at the old man in front of him dumbfounded, his face was full of horror, and his lips opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but the latter just took a sip of tea casually and directly interrupted him:

"Rest assured, he has no enmity with us."

"Besides, you bring this letter back to your father and set off immediately."

The young man-like Raven Tengu was slightly stunned, and saw a letter that the old man put on the table, and the black feathers on the letterhead flew on the top of the lonely peak, which made his expression suddenly stunned, and then immediately became extremely solemn, took the letter with both hands, and turned around and flew out without hesitation.

This is a handwritten letter from the lord of the ghost, under the jurisdiction of ghosts, don't dare to disobey.

Since last night, the same letters have been taken out of this ancient mansion by youkai.

This is the ninety-seventh letter.

PS: Shou Wu basically thinks it's the kind of monster that can fly around with its head.
