Chapter 252: I Think It's Like Putting a Bid on Your Head

In the darkness, two pairs of starry eyes stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in. Yuan Jun faced off with his clone for a while, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "It seems that the only way to decide who is the ancient ritual is Go to work."

The clone rolled his eyes at her: "That's a beautiful idea. It's your turn to go. I'll help you get rid of those troublesome demons and deal with the pile of paperwork for you. Then you just need to sit in the shrine and respond to the believers according to your mood. That’s it. Apart from not being able to sleep, what’s the difference between taking a rest?”

Yuan Jun gritted his teeth, but before she could refute, the avatar said sincerely: "We were demoted here because you overslept and forgot to send clouds and rain, which caused a severe drought in the southwest of Shu. If it weren't for Dujiangyan, I don’t know how many people will die of hunger and thirst.”

"This time it was because you overslept again and the demon took away your throne. Many mortals and monsters were killed. We are also very lucky that the little fox came to save us. But how long can such luck last? It only takes three things. , from Qingyi Jianglongjun to Hisizawa Shuijun, don’t talk about the divine position next time, I’m afraid it’s hard to save your life, not to mention what the Queen Mother said before leaving, have you forgotten?”

"As gods of the land, we are no longer the little princesses of the Dragon Palace. We must shoulder the responsibilities of gods."

Yuanjun laughed angrily after being lectured. The avatar had the same mind as hers. She didn't even have to think about the purpose of these words: "That's why I tried so hard to separate you to help me perform my priestly duties. How could you?" be lazy!"

"I'm not lazy. I've already done what I agreed to do."

After saying this, the clone took advantage of her not paying attention, rolled over and performed a death roll, rolled up the quilt, and hid in the corner of the bed like a caterpillar.

A lazy and clear voice came from the quilt, a bit muffled.

"You can go to the shrine after the little fox has finished processing the paperwork, and then wake me up when September comes."

Two days passed quickly,

Because the school will conduct final exams starting on Monday, Higashinoyu put aside his practice, not to mention reviewing his homework, for the past two days in order to return to Tokyo before this time.

He would only leave the shrine in the morning to collect purple energy in the outside world, and then come back to continue processing paperwork.

Momofuyu also put aside the matters at the hot spring hotel and kept helping, so she didn't find it boring.

When running a hot spring hotel at home, time flies when you are busy, but no matter how much work you do, it will be finished eventually.

Once you are free, time will become very slow. If you stay alone in the room, you can't seem to find anything else to do except practice. In comparison, at least Mr. Higashino is by your side now.

At first, the two people's cooperation was occasionally hectic, but later, the palace was so quiet that only the soft sound of brocade books was turned.

In order to rush to work, Dong Yeyu used his lifelong skills to transform his cultivation into the power of an ox and a horse, and the efficiency was directly MAX.

Many times, Taofumi has just stamped a document and before putting it in the wooden box and stacking it up, there are several more document scrolls in front of him.

I worked overtime until four or five o'clock on Sunday afternoon and finally managed to finish this mountain of government affairs.

"Job done!"

Dong Yeyu put down the ink pen in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

As if sensing that the work was over, the seemingly endless ink on the inkstone dried up automatically, and the ink color of the inkstone also faded.

It saves the effort of cleaning.

Dong Yeyu rearranged the four treasures of the study back to their original positions, sat in front of the desk and stretched, but he did not feel tired at all.

I have attained the status of Immortal, and my energy and spirit have reached perfection. Even if I work continuously for a month, nothing will happen. At most, I will feel a little haggard.

Is it over?

Taotong put away the last volume of books, closed the lid of the big wooden box, and yawned.

She does not have Higashino Yu's cultivation, but she usually runs the hotel by herself. Whether it is cleaning, replenishing goods, or washing bathrobes and towels, she does it all by herself. She is not an industrious civet cat monster. Therefore, except for her look, which is slightly haggard, other Not bad.

The civet girl stared at the young man beside her in a daze, complaining in her heart that time passed too fast and it was over in a blink of an eye.

"It's over."

Tao Dong murmured, his eyes fell on the side of the young man's face, looking at his relieved smile, but he couldn't be happy together.

After this, Mr. Higashino will go back to Edo. I don’t know when he will come back again, and I don’t know if he will come to see me when he comes back.

She thought uneasily, dragging her cheeks with her hands, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

"Momofuyu?" Dong Yeyu noticed the expression of the civet girl next to him, smiled and waved in front of her eyes: "Wake up, we should go."

Taotong suddenly woke up, and his eyes met those of Higashino Yu. Those warm and bright eyes made the civet girl extremely greedy.

Momodong, it’s time to go.

The civet girl said to herself, and then smiled at Dong Yeyu: "Yeah!"

The two stood up and walked down the jade steps of the shrine. Seeing that Yuanjun did not appear on time, Dongyeyu first asked in a low voice: "Yuanjun?"

No one responded.

"I'm done with the paperwork."

Dong Yeyu said in a louder voice, and the clear voice echoed in the hall, but there was still no response.

I guess she fell asleep again, right?

Higashino Yu then led Tao Dong out of the main hall and leaned on the white jade railing. He looked up and saw that the building behind the shrine was immersed in waters darker than the lightless deep sea. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Really asleep?

Dongye Yu took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice: "Yuan Jun, the documents have been processed!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sleeping girl in the bed with the curtains closed turned over, as if she didn't hear it, until the clone sleeping at the other end kicked her, and then she slowly got up, opened her eyes with difficulty and looked towards the direction of the shrine, whispering.

"Why are you yelling so loudly? It's really a rude little fox. I have to take him back to the Dragon Palace and let the whale nanny in the Dragon Palace teach him etiquette in the future."

She muttered, squinting her eyes and sitting in a daze for a few seconds, and the lights in the warm room automatically lit up.

The girl staggered to her feet, and her loose hair was automatically tied into a flying fairy bun. The golden hairpin flew over from the dressing table to fix the bun. Before she put on her clothes, the man's voice became louder.

"Yuan Jun, I--"

Yuan Jun opened the window and shouted impatiently: "I know!"

Dong Ye Yu listened to the Dragon Girl's answer, which seemed to be in a bad mood, smiled, and waited patiently in front of the temple for a while.

Not long after, there was a fluctuation of magic power behind him. Looking back, Yuan Jun was sitting behind the table on the jade steps, yawning, sleepy, and not very energetic. There were a few strands of black hair on his forehead, and the cloud gauze jacket he was wearing was even a little crooked.

Dong Ye Yu looked straight ahead, held the Qing seal in his hand, and bowed: "Yuan Jun, the documents have been processed, I want to say goodbye to you."

Yuan Jun looked at the big wooden box and the disappeared documents in a trance, and looked at Dong Ye Yu suspiciously. It was processed so quickly, wouldn't he be lazy?

She maliciously speculated about others based on her own experience, and then opened the wooden box to check it. After confirming that she was not lazy, she nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, little fox. Go. Come back to see me after you survive this disaster."

"I will remember this. Please take care, Yuanjun. Goodbye."

Dongye Yu bowed again, turned around and took Taodong to the big archway in front of the shrine with the plaque of Hishizawa Ryugu.

The shrine then became quiet. Yuanjun knelt upright at the highest point of the bright and magnificent shrine, looking at the backs of the fox monster and the raccoon monster, yawned again, put his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes, counted something with his fingers, and his red lips moved slightly.

"One, two, three, four, a quarter of an hour! Hmm, how long is it?"

After passing through the archway, another dizziness of space conversion came over them.

When they came to their senses, the two returned to the front of the shrine again.

The sun was setting, and the orange-red color of the fire dyed the temple of the shrine. The warm wind passed through the mottled pillars and rusty wind chimes. The sound of crows came from afar. There was no one in the shrine, which made people feel quite lonely.

Dong Yeyu turned and walked down the shrine.

Tao Dong followed him silently, hesitating again and again, until they reached the path to the hot spring hotel beside the shrine, she couldn't help but suggest.

"Master Higashino, do you have to go back to Edo tonight? It's so late, why don't you rest at my house for a night?"

"If I have enough time, I would like to take a hot spring bath at your house and have a good rest. But there is no way. The school will have the final exam tomorrow, and we have to rush to the exam room before nine o'clock. Although Inzai is not far from Tokyo, it is still too late."

Higashino Yu said this, and touched the raccoon girl's head apologetically: "Sorry, I agreed to rest for a night."

Momofuji smiled: "Master Higashino, you don't have to apologize, but if you must apologize, why don't you let Momofuji send you off again!"

The raccoon girl put her hands behind her back and jumped a few steps on the stairs of the shrine, then turned around and smiled: "And the story you told me about Edo before, you only told me a little bit, tell Momofuji on the way!"

"Okay, we talked about Higashio yesterday."

Higashino Yu deliberately slowed down so that she could know more stories about big cities.

But no matter how slow you slow down, the road will always come to an end.

In front of the station,

"Just drop me off here."

Before Dong Ye Yu boarded the bus to Inzai City, he smiled at Tao Dong and said, "If I have a chance in the future, I will take you to Tokyo to play. Now I have settled down there. The house is big and I can prepare a room for you."

When Tao Dong heard this, her crystal eyes lit up and she pursed her lips tightly: "Yeah!"

Dong Ye Yu waved and got on the bus and sat in the last row. The car started quickly. The setting sun cast a long shadow through the window, and the evening breeze brought a little smell of fertilizer from the wheat field.

Just then, Tao Dong's voice came from behind.

"Master Dong Ye, I wish you a safe journey. You must come back again!"

Dong Ye Yu looked back and saw that the girl had turned back into a raccoon cat and kept chasing the bus. She followed for dozens of miles and finally stopped on a big rock, waving her claws.

Come and see her more often in the future. Dong Ye Yu felt a little sad and turned around with a sigh.

The setting sun finally sank into the horizon, the dusk blue enveloped the earth, the small TV on the bus played food advertisements, the uncle driving began to hum an unknown old song, and the evening breeze faded away from the heat and became cool.

Dong Yeyu quickly got rid of the sadness of parting, looking at the starry night in the sky that was brighter than Tokyo, feeling the pure Yang sword box floating on his Dantian, and felt extremely at ease.

I was panic-stricken when I came, but I was no longer disturbed when I returned.

Shuten-doji?

In my opinion, it's like putting a stake in the head and selling it.

"The exam is over. Please stop answering the papers."

The radio broadcasted the news that the exam was over. All the students in the classroom stopped working at the same time, whether they had finished or not. The invigilators looked around for a moment and began to collect the papers one by one.

Higashino Yu put away his stationery and walked out of the examination room with confidence.

Although he didn't review the exam last minute because he was helping Yuanjun deal with the affairs of the gods, the knowledge he had learned had already been memorized in his mind, so it didn't matter whether he reviewed it or not.

Moreover, he finished almost every exam an hour in advance, and checked it over and over again in the remaining time, so there was no possibility of any mistakes or omissions.

This time he must take the first place in the grade.

It's not that there is anything about the honor of being the first in the grade, but the scholarship for the first place is the highest level, a full 500,000 yen, comparable to the monthly salary of an elite worker.

When he returned to the class, he saw Arima Norimune checking answers with Imagawa Kashiwagi at a glance.

"Hahaha, Imagawa, you got it wrong again! That question should be proved like this!"

Arima Norimune happily wrote down his proof process on the draft paper. Imagawa Kashiwagi took a closer look and pointed to a place: "It seems to be wrong here."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Arima Norimune laughed and shook his head, but saw Imagawa Kashiwagi wrote a few lines of symbols next to it with a pencil.

Arima Norimune frowned and looked at it, and his smile gradually disappeared: "Ah?"

He swallowed his saliva, "Maybe, probably"

Looking up, he saw Dong Yeyu returning to the classroom after the exam, and hurriedly asked: "Ayu, how did you do this question?"

Dong Yeyu glanced at it: "Imagawa got it right."

"Ah!!!" Arima Norimune held his head and screamed: "This is a big question, where is the multiple-choice question? The answer to the multiple-choice question, Ayu, Imagawa--"

He looked at the two with hope.

"ACDAACDBBA."

Dong Yeyu and Imagawa Kashiwagi wrote down the answers to the multiple-choice questions at the same time, and then smiled at each other.

Arima Norimune was stunned on the spot, his face gradually turned pale, as if he had lost his parents.

At this time, the head teacher entered the class and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone please be quiet, I will briefly talk about the school arrangements during the holidays."

The main holidays for high school students in the island country are summer vacation, winter vacation and spring vacation. Among them, spring vacation is only about two weeks long. Summer vacation and winter vacation are similar to those in Shenzhou, but there are school trips and cram school training, so the actual vacation is about one to two weeks less.
