"Eh?" Chunxiang opened her eyes in disbelief.

"Have you ever heard of a sea monster?" Nanke looked at the two adults and two children in front of him in turn and smiled, "At the bottom of the deep sea, there lives an extremely huge sea monster - no one has ever seen it. body, I only know that it has at least five eel-like heads. As soon as it comes to the sea, it will stir up a violent storm. When it opens its mouth, its sharp teeth can bite people until no bones are left. The thing that makes Tatasha fall into the storm is Such a terrible sea monster."

Chunxiang picked up Chunya's sleeves and hid half of her face: "It's so scary..."

"In order to end the torrential rain caused by the monster, our military commander, Mr. Zheng, specially formed a fleet to fight against this sea monster." Nanke squeezed the fingers under his sleeves, still smiling, "The one who leads the fleet is Kaneo, your brother. His first arrow hit one of the sea monster's heads. Thanks to him, we fought hard for half a month and finally drove the sea monster away."

“However, because Kaneo was so brave, when the sea monster escaped, he shouted, ‘This evil beast must be destroyed’, followed closely behind, and disappeared into the mist of the sea. We waited all winter and didn't see his ship, so we had to tell you about it first -" Nanke paused slightly before continuing, "The great hero Kaneo may have to wipe out all the storms. Will come back."

The two little ones and the big one opened their mouths one after another, looked at the silent skirmisher beside Nanke with doubt, and asked: "Is it true?"

Now the pressure is on the skirmishers.

"...There is indeed such a sea monster. It seems to be the demon god from Liyue." The skirmisher smiled half-heartedly and glanced at Nanke. "Is it called Osel?"

Nanke faked a cough.

Fortunately, two people involved testified. Chunxiang had no doubt that he was there. She hugged the children and the three of them were shocked together.

Chunya reacted and immediately invited them to go out to talk in a subtle way.

"...That's it. I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you earlier." Nanke briefly described how Kaneoji went to sea.

"No, we have to thank you. Not only did you take the trouble to personally convey the news of Brother Kanexiong, but you were also so considerate of my wife's mood." Chunya knelt down on the spot and bowed deeply, "Thank you both."

Nanke was startled and quickly stopped him: "No, no, we didn't do anything!"

"In such a dangerous situation, the two of you still firmly accompany Kanxiong until the last moment, which is a great kindness." Chunya glanced at the room behind him before standing up embarrassedly, "This is me If you want to thank Chunxiang and Kanxiong, please don’t refuse.”

Nanke looked back at the skirmishers.

The skirmisher held his bamboo hat and turned to look at the sea.

She had no choice but to reply "You're welcome" to Chunwu.

The sun was high above the head, so Chunwu left them to have lunch together. Hearing that they planned to continue on the road, he felt a little nervous.

"The forest outside the village is haunted by ghosts. If you are fast, you have to go through it at sunset if you go out early in the morning. I'm afraid it's not safe to start now."

"It's okay." Nanke raised his head and glanced at Ying Xiangshan, who was very close at hand.

It feels safer than staying under Yae Shenzi's nose.

Before leaving, Chunxiang gave Nanke a whistle made of conch, saying that if he blew it in danger, the guardian of the fishing village, Lord Tengu, would come to help.

She smiled, said goodbye, and quickly caught up with the skirmishers who had walked a long distance.

"Childish." The skirmisher obviously heard Chunxiang's words and looked at the conch in Nanke's hand with disdain.

"Want to try it?" Nanke generously handed it to him.

The stragglers looked away coldly and expressed no interest.

After actually walking into the forest, Nanke realized that he still thought too simply.

This forest, which Tsubaki said was "very deep," has towering ancient trees, and vegetation that glows blue at night due to long-term exposure to demonic power. It is clearly the familiar and extremely guarded forest.

It is slightly, no, very different from five hundred years later.

There are demon raccoons everywhere.

One moment the person standing at his feet was an ordinary civet cat, and the next moment he turned into countless stragglers wagging the civet cat's tail and giggling.

"Bah ah ah ah! ah ah ah ah!"

The skirmishers kicked each one away with disgust on their faces, and the screams of the skirmishers were everywhere.

"The country is collapsing," Nanke couldn't help but hold him back, "Be gentle with yourself."

"Huh?" He frowned, holding up the back of a skirmisher's neck and slapping her in the face, "Is there anything wrong with your eyes?"

Nanke hugged the demon raccoon.

It is true that although this demon raccoon with poor cultivation only came out with a human head, and a pair of raccoon cat ears blatantly dangled on the bamboo hat, it looked anti-human.

but.

The smile is contagious.

Nanke curled his lips and scratched the ear of the one in his arms, and gestured to the gauze curtain decorated on the skirmisher's hat: "They just like to make noise. If you can't stand it, why not just keep it out of sight?"

With a "bang", the faint white smoke dispersed, and the little demon raccoon in her arms returned to its original shape and lay on her chest in ignorance.

As if inspired, the demon raccoons who had been kicked away by the skirmishers crawled over one by one, transforming into Nanke.

"Humph," the skirmisher sneered and took two steps away, "Let's see how long you can hold on."

Being chased and intercepted by a large group of demon raccoons, it was impossible to continue on the road. Nanke found a stone to sit down by the stream in the forest, and rubbed their little heads next to them.

Maybe it's because I have a twin sister. Facing countless faces that are exactly like my own, the visual fatigue is more severe than the eyesore.

Nanke suppressed a yawn and asked the demon raccoon version of himself that climbed on his lap: "Do you often play tricks on passers-by like this?"

The demon raccoons can understand human speech.

But not much.

Nanke on his legs turned into a skirmisher again. He turned over and looked at her and clapped his hands: "Interesting! Very interesting!"

Nanke smiled and touched its head.

I didn’t see any stone statues of Youtanuki along the way. Probably at this time, the leader of the Youtanuki clan, Wubaizo, was still abiding by the agreement with his old friend and was hiding somewhere in the guarding forest waiting to be found.

So these little guys who are playful and ignorant of the world are running around like crazy.

The skirmisher leaned against the tree behind and watched her.

He behaved violently first, so the demon raccoons did not dare to approach him. They all lay down and rolled around Nanke, transforming into various people or things, frolicking and lining up to be touched.

The picture is really weird.

It was almost as if these little things with poor intelligence were trying to please her.
