Still not daring to let his guard down, Zhiyao continued to pay attention to his surroundings and asked Yaoboji, "Did you feel anything?"

Yaoboji pricked up her ears and listened, turning her head in all directions.

"No."

But both of them agreed that it was definitely abnormal for the fog to be so exaggerated.

After several more minutes, the fog still showed no signs of dissipating. Waiting like this was not a solution. Zhiyao gritted her teeth and began to move slowly along the road under her feet.

Unconsciously, the road gradually became flatter and flatter. Not sure if this meant that he had left Yangyan Mountain, Zhiyao continued to move forward. Not long after, he saw a small wooden house not far away, with a faint firelight shining through the window.

There are people living outside the village?

Zhiyao was puzzled by this.

But it was always a good thing to see someone, so he quickened his pace and came to the door of the cabin.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"anyone there?"

There were knocks on the door and shouts at the same time.

After a few seconds, the door slowly opened, and a woman in a white wedding dress stood in front of him. However, because her head was covered by the wedding dress's hood, Zhiyao could not see the woman's face clearly.

However, Zhiyao was more curious about why the person on the other side was dressed like that, because in his opinion, a wedding dress was something that was only worn at a wedding.

Zhiyao was completely puzzled and looked him up and down.

Then, the woman in front of him took the initiative to speak: "Hmm, what can this guest do for you?"

The voice sounded like magic, and Zhiyao felt attracted to it involuntarily, just like iron sand meeting a magnet.

"Oh, I'm a traveler, just out of Yangyan Village." Clearing his throat, he quickly replied, "I was planning to go to Rishang Mountain, but I was walking and suddenly encountered a creepy fog. It was really creepy, and I got lost. I happened to see a house here, so I thought I'd stop by to see if I could rest inside." Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he hurriedly added, "Uh, uh, uh, I know this isn't a very convenient time... Or maybe forget it, I'll just sit by the door."

Little did he know that as soon as he finished the second part, the woman immediately took two steps back to make way and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

"come in."

Just like the house's simple exterior, the interior can also only be described as plain.

Through analyzing the environment, Zhiyao analyzed that the family's economic conditions were very poor, otherwise they would not be able to live in such a desolate place.

Led by the woman, the two men came to the fireplace and sat on the cushions one after another.

"Where's your husband? Why hasn't he come back yet at this time?" This time Zhiyao spoke first.

"I don't have a husband. I live alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyao was immediately surprised and looked disbelieving.

"You're alone? Living in a place like this? No way?"

"I've lived here for years, uh-huh." The woman pursed her lips and smiled, "May I ask you something?"

"Uh uh uh, the problem... I think this is very inconvenient. I can definitely move to Yangyan Village."

"Yangyan Village, I still prefer to live alone in a quiet place."

They were just looking for a random topic to talk about, so Zhiyao stopped asking questions and switched to other topics.

"Does this mountain often get foggy like this at night, or am I just lucky and happened to run into this?"

"Not often, it's just that you're just lucky." After answering, the woman changed the subject and said, "Since I've answered two questions, I'll ask the next one. Is it okay for you to answer it?"

Zhiyao nodded.

"Excuse me, why are you going to Higashiyama at night?"

An expected question.

"It's a personal matter." Zhiyao blurted out.

"Can you tell me something?"

"Ah, even if I tell you, you definitely won't understand what I'm saying, haha."

It's not that Zhiyao deliberately wanted to hide it, because he really felt there was no need. In his opinion, a woman living in the wilderness was definitely an illiterate person with little knowledge. Even if he told her that he was looking for a way to go back to 1987, it would be regarded as a fantasy.

Rather than wasting your breath, it is better not to say anything.

"Really? Then let me ask you another question." The woman paused. "Excuse me, is this guest really just an ordinary traveler?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large orange bird appeared on the woman's empty shoulder. The next second, as the bird spread its wings, a hot wave rushed towards Zhiyao's face.

Because the big bird appeared out of thin air in an instant, Zhiyao was stunned at first, until she felt the heat wave on her face and came to her senses.

What is before my eyes is not an ordinary creature, but a guardian spirit.

Suzaku.

There was no doubt that the woman was greeting him.

Then he smiled proudly, and with Zhiyao's soft call, Yaoboji and Bobingdie appeared on both sides of his body at the same time, using cold air to block the heat wave.

This counts as a response.

Then, Zhiyao heard the woman's enchanting voice: "Ah la, aah la, he actually has two guardian spirits. This guest is indeed not an ordinary traveler."

"You are not an ordinary woman either." Zhiyao smiled, "You actually have a guardian spirit, Suzaku."

"So, in the eyes of my guests, I'm finally no longer just some illiterate woman living in the wilderness with little experience, right?"

Zhiyao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when her thoughts were seen through, and she looked away out of embarrassment.

"Ahem, well, it's really wrong of me to judge people by their appearance."

"Hmm, in that case, please tell me the real purpose of going to Mount Higashin."

"I went there to..." Zhiyao paused halfway through her words, realizing something. Then she said directly, "You can see what I'm thinking, so why don't you see it yourself?"

The woman smiled awkwardly as if she had expected something, and raised the brim of her hat.

Only then was Zhiyao finally able to see the face opposite her clearly.

In front of him was a woman whose appearance score could be as high as 90, but Zhiyao's focus was not on that.

What he really cared about were the eyes, and the woman's pupils were sky blue.

This eye color immediately reminded him of A Xiu.

"Huh, I can't hide it from you. Since you've seen through it, I'll take it upon myself."

Just as the woman was about to take a visual look, she saw Zhiyao raise her hand and said, "I think it's better for you to take off your hood. Don't worry about anything in front of me, because I know you are not human."

The woman was startled when she heard this, and the smile on her face disappeared, but she returned to normal after just a second and took off the hood as instructed.

At this point, Zhiyao finally got his wish and saw what he had expected.

————The two amber horns on the woman’s forehead.

If this guy is really the same kind as Ah Xiu, then it would explain why he lives alone in the mountains, because Ah Xiu was the same, living alone in the mountains before he met Fujiyoshiro.

"Miss Monster, let me introduce myself first. My name is Sikong Zhiyao, and you?"

"Tamamo."

Chapter 115: [Transaction]

Tamamonomae is the name of the nine-tailed fox in Japanese mythology.

Although Zhiyao didn't know much about the monster's specific deeds, he knew that the nine-tailed fox was not a good person.

His brows frowned uncontrollably for a moment, and in an instant, Zhiyao began to feel nervous. Across from him, Yumozuo looked at him with a smile on her face, but the next second she had a ferocious expression on her face, revealing two sharp fangs.

"Now that you know my true identity, it seems I have no choice but to silence you. It just so happens that I haven't eaten human flesh in a long time."

In an instant, Zhiyao took out Chu Yeshi's sword as quickly as possible, stood up quickly and jumped backwards.

"Don't come over here, I'm warning you!" he shouted sternly.

Tamamo stood up calmly and approached him with a fierce look.

"Eight Hundred, Ice Butterfly, prepare for battle!"

Two guardian spirits immediately appeared on the left and right, and the battle was about to break out.

But for some reason, Tamamo returned to her previous harmless appearance, turned away and chuckled.

"Puha, why are you so nervous?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhiyao gritted her teeth and slowly retreated towards the door.

"Pfft...Pfft hahaha, okay, okay, I was just joking with you. I'm not a nine-tailed fox, just an ordinary monster." Tamamo said as she sat back in her original seat.

Seeing that Zhiyao was still on guard, he said helplessly, "I'm really not a fox demon. Where do I see any fox characteristics?"

"Really?" Zhiyao was skeptical.

"Sikong, I don't sense any malice from her." Yaoboji reminded Zhiyao.

Hearing Yaoboji say this, Zhiyao felt a little relieved, but he didn't dare to let down his guard immediately, so he solemnly confirmed: "Are you really not a fox in disguise?"

Tamamo raised her index finger to her lips and kissed it lightly.

"Hmm, guess?"

"I don't have the time. Prove it to me yourself." Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhiyao's mind. "Turn around and lift up your clothes so I can see if you have a fox tail."

Upon hearing this, Tamamo showed a surprised expression, then hugged her body again and put on a charming smile.

"Oh my, you actually want me to take off my clothes in front of you, are you planning to do something to me?"

The two confronted each other, and after a moment, Zhiyao sighed.

"It doesn't seem right. Forget it, I'll just trust you for once."

"Hmm, is that so?" Tamamo winked cunningly, then returned to the point, "Since you no longer have any doubts, then let me take a look at you as agreed."

Zhiyao nodded and sat back on the original cushion.

He thought Tamamo would continue to observe with vision, but unexpectedly she stood up, sat in front of him with a cushion, and held his hands. Zhiyao didn't have any thoughts about this, because it was the same whether to observe with vision or touch.

After a few minutes, Tamamo released her hands, her tone revealing surprise: "I didn't expect you to be the hero of Kagero Village."

"Ahaha, actually I didn't do anything big." Zhiyao touched his hair embarrassedly.

Little did I know the next sentence.

"That's true. He just killed a little girl, but he's being hailed as a hero. The villagers are really making a big fuss out of nothing."

Zhiyao had always been praised before, but now she suddenly encountered someone who sang a different tune. She was really caught off guard.

Seeing Tamamo snickering, he choked and his face turned red unconsciously.

"Nu Nu... What's wrong with Nu Nu? That one is three meters tall when standing up. It's an elite monster level."

"That's just Nunu." Tamamo rolled her eyes and retorted in a disapproving tone, "To be worthy of the title of hero, you have to be at least Yatogami."

"I almost lost my life, what's wrong with being called a hero?"

"I almost died fighting against Nunu. How weak are you? Pfftfftff."

Zhiyao was speechless and felt a little annoyed.

"Oh, so you come from another time and space, and you are a rare person." After watching for a while, Tamamo couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What does it have to do with you?" Zhiyao said unhappily.

Tamamo then smiled helplessly, "Don't be angry, you're a hero, okay? Okay, okay, next time you encounter a monster, I'll come help you, and you'll get all the credit afterwards."

"I have Yabai Boji and Bo Bingdie, I don't need you."

As the anger that had been pent up in her heart was released, Zhiyao suddenly felt relaxed all over and a slight smile returned to her face.

"Yes, I do come from another time and space. I went to Rishang Mountain at this time to find a way to go back, because I originally traveled here from Rishang Mountain at night."

"I see. Have you thought of a solution?" Tamamo asked.

"I have an idea now..." Before he could finish his words, Zhiyao suddenly remembered something, "Yumozuo, have you really lived here for decades?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Actually, I have another plan when I return." Zhiyao paused, "I plan to seal the Yellow Springs Gate on Rishang Mountain."
