As it approaches the hour of Mao, the darkness has gradually faded away, a faint light begins to appear on the horizon, and the earth is shrouded in a hazy morning mist.

Xu Zhoujiao left a simple note and went out to meet the Night Wanderer.

The Night Wanderer had been waiting at the gate of the general's mansion for a long time, with a steaming hot bun in his arms. When he saw Xu Zhoujiao coming out, he trotted over to greet her.

"Sir, these are the meat biscuits that were just made this morning from the shop that usually serves me."

As he said this, he took out a sesame cake and handed it to her.

"This one tastes really good, with thin skin and big fillings, crispy and delicious, sir, please try it."

Xu Zhoujiao took one and took a bite. "Mm, this fire-baked bread is really delicious! Not bad, Night Wanderer. The people of Kyoto love you so much, which shows that you usually take care of them."

The Night Wanderer smiled shyly at Xu Zhoujiao: "Sir, the Day Wanderer will be out soon, let's go."

Xu Zhoujiao nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

The place where the day-wandering god and the night-wandering god meet every day is in an abandoned land temple in the suburbs.

At this time, the Day God had already been waiting in the abandoned land temple. When he saw the Night God appear with a meat-baked bread, he walked forward with a smile and wanted to take the meat-baked bread from his hand.

"Okay, let's go on a night tour. Why did you think of bringing me some food today? Did you get beaten up by that devil woman Xuzhou Jiao yesterday and want to complain to me?"

Before he could touch the flesh fire, the Night Wanderer turned around and dodged.

The Day-Wandering God was about to ask the Night-Wandering God what this meant, but before he could ask, he was stunned.

Who can tell him why the devil Xuzhou Jiao is standing behind the Night Wanderer...

Xu Zhoujiao looked at him with a smile on her face: "I heard you were looking for me?"

The Sun-Watching God looked as if he had seen a ghost, and ran out screaming.

But as soon as he ran out of the ruined temple, he was blocked by a sword.

Zijian had been waiting outside the temple for a long time, ready to intercept the Sun God as soon as he came out.

Zi Jian forced Riyoushen to retreat step by step to his original position, and then stared at him intently.

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the Sun Wandering God who was standing in the same place again, and smiled and told him a bolt from the blue: "The Night Wandering God is not here to complain to you, but I am here to settle accounts with you."

"You were the one who told Shijun a few days ago that I entered the general's mansion, right?"

When Riyoushen heard that Xuzhou Jiao was here to settle the score, he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

"My lady, that was all forced upon me by the City God. Please be magnanimous and just ignore me."

Xu Zhoujiao just looked at him calmly without saying anything.

The Day-Wandering God became anxious. Looking at the Night-Wandering God who was also monitoring them but nothing happened, he urged him to speak good words for him.

"Yeyou, tell the queen that I'm telling the truth, hurry up!"

Seeing that Xu Zhoujiao's expression was calm, Night Wanderer squatted down and reminded Day Wanderer: "Day Wanderer, how could the Lord take your little mistake seriously? Just tell the Lord the truth, wouldn't that make up for your sin?"

He looked at the rolling eyes of the Sun God and decided to give him another push: "What are you afraid of? If anything goes wrong, there are adults to protect you, so just speak boldly."

"If you don't tell me and make me unhappy, I'll just take you to confront the City God. Think about it, do you still have a chance to survive?"

Yes, since ancient times, when gods fight, the little devils suffer. If he is really taken before the City God, given the character of the City God, he will definitely not admit it. In order to calm the situation, he will definitely kill him to silence him.

The Day-Wandering God carefully looked at the Night-Wandering God squatting beside him.

He must have been exposed last night, and the fact that he is still safe and sound shows that Xu Zhoujiao did not punish him. Except for some bruises on his face, the rest of his body is intact.

Between losing his life and telling the truth, Riyoushen naturally chose the latter.

"My lady, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the Night Wanderer who had successfully persuaded the Night Wanderer without any effort, and immediately changed her opinion of him: This guy is not just an eye-catcher, he is quite useful!

"Since you can figure it out, it means you are also a smart person. Get up."

After the Night-Wandering God helped up the frightened Day-Wandering God, he returned to Xu Zhoujiao's back.

What is there for Riyoushen to not understand? This kid has surrendered long ago.

"I heard from Night Wanderer that you and Chenghuang Wenshu are from the same root? So you know a lot about Chenghuang Temple?"

"To answer your Majesty, yes, I am from the same family as Wu Wenshu and we are very close friends in private, so I know a thing or two."

"Since we are all family, let's call you Sir, just like the Night Wanderer."

"Then what's the matter with the recent rumors in the city about the City God washing the city and marrying the City God's wife?"

"My Lord, these are actually two different things. One is that you opened the Ghost Gate and caused negative energy to gather within a hundred meters of the General's Mansion. Dark clouds pressed down and blocked out the sun. The City God was afraid that something might happen, so he asked the Dragon King to send rain to cover up the truth."

"As for the second thing, marrying the City God is because..."

The Sun God made a round trip and said in a low voice to Xu Zhoujiao, "The City God appeared in the dreams of several wealthy merchants in Kyoto, hinting at something in the dreams, which led to this incident. Originally, only a few wealthy merchants knew about it, but who would have known that the master who made the statue for the City God told his wife about it when he got home. His wife was a famous gossip, so the story spread all over the city and everyone knew about it."

Xuzhou Jiao snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that what your City God wants is the big mouth of the statue sculptor's wife."

Day and Night Wanderers looked at each other: This situation may really happen...

Night Walker didn't understand: "Sir, why didn't he just marry her directly? Why did he have to go through so much trouble?"

The Sun God didn't understand either: "Yes, sir, it's not an ancient legend that the City God married the City God's wife. It's totally unnecessary."

Xu Zhoujiao couldn't tell the exact reason, but she just felt that it had something to do with the new City God.

"Maybe it has something to do with the new City Goddess."

"Speaking of this new City Goddess, do you know who she is?"

Xuzhou Jiao looked towards the Sun God.

The Sun God spat with disdain: "She is just the only daughter of the old City God! Otherwise, how could he be the new City God? In terms of seniority and merits, he is no match for the Mountain God."

"So he was promoted to the position of City God by his father-in-law? The God Realm won't intervene?"

The Night Wanderer spoke up and said that he knew about this.

He also looked around like the Sun Wandering God, then lowered his voice and said, "I secretly saw the priest come to retrieve Shi Jun's case file. The old city god handed a fake one to the priest. After the priest left, I overheard the old city god tell Shi Jun that the case file had been submitted to the gods, and Shi Jun's appointment document would be issued soon."

"The little one behind didn't dare to listen for fear of alerting the enemy."

So the old City God forged the case files and deceived the priests in order to ensure that his new son-in-law Shi Jun could smoothly inherit the throne?

This is too courageous!

There was one question Xu Zhoujiao hadn't figured out: "How do you know that the case file is fake?"

"Sir, our case files are all kept in the archives of the City God Temple."

"I cleaned the archives for a while before. I was curious about what kind of person Shi Jun was, so I secretly checked his case files. But someone came in halfway, and I was so flustered that I accidentally sprinkled firefly powder on them."

"What is firefly powder?"

"I have 15 brothers who are scattered all over the place as night gods. We brothers usually communicate by writing letters with firefly powder, and no one can see except our night eyes. I smeared Shi Jun's case files everywhere. I thought it was no big deal since no one could see it except me."

"But that day when the old city god went into the archives to get the case files, I clearly saw firefly powder stuck to the corners of his clothes. But when the case files were handed over to the Lord of Gods, they were completely clean, without a single speck of firefly powder."

"Later, the old city god forbade anyone to enter the archive. After Shi Jun took office, he sealed off the old archive and built a new one on the grounds that it had fallen into disrepair."

"I sneaked in to check afterwards, and all the files had been moved away, and the shelves were gone."

The day traveler was stunned by this secret. Is this really something he can hear? Night traveler, please don't hurt me...

Hearing that the Old City God and Shi Jun had once made such a big move, Xu Zhoujiao paced back and forth thinking about the problem.

Since the case files have been changed, why do we still need to seal the warehouse?

Since the corners of his clothes are already stained with firefly powder, it means that he has already replaced the real one, so...

No, if he took the real case file, the one stained with firefly powder should be the sleeve, not the corner of the clothes.

"Night Walker, are you sure that the firefly powder is on the edge of your clothes and not on your sleeves?"

Xu Zhoujiao turned back to confirm the details with him, but when she turned back, the person who was just behind her evaporated on the spot, leaving only a few burnt flesh...

She pointed at the location of the Night God and asked the Day God: "Where is he? Why did he suddenly disappear?"

"My lord, it is now daylight, and the Night Wanderer has already gone into hiding. He will not come out until night. The questions you want to ask, my lord, can only be asked at night."

Just when she figured out the clue, she turned around and found that the witness had hung up. Xu Zhoujiao's little face was full of anger and helplessness.

But it doesn’t matter, even if one is offline, there is still another one online!

She asked the Sun God, "The Night God said that many people have never seen the only daughter of the old city god. Sun God, have you seen her?"

This question made Riyoushen keep silent for a long time, so long that Xuzhoujiao thought he might not answer.

In order to get the result, Xu Zhoujiao secretly took out the sincerity ball to punish him. Just when she touched the ball, the silent Riyoushen spoke.

"I have seen it. Apart from the old City God and Shi Jun, I am probably the only one who has seen it in the entire City God Temple."

Xu Zhoujiao quietly put the ball of sincerity that she had already touched back.

"She is an unsuccessful dragon girl. She has an earthy smell on her body. Even if she transforms into a human form, there will still be green scales on her face. She has no feet, only a snake tail. This is why she never shows herself to others."

So the earthy dragon I met yesterday was her...
