"It is indeed a shrine."

Feeling that weak connection, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He had been to Narukami Taisha Shrine and naturally knew that these so-called shrines were not just made of wood and bricks.

Whether a house can be called a shrine by definition, the most important thing is to see whether it can establish a connection with the god it serves.

If not, it's no different from a large tourist attraction.

It just so happened that he had been to all three of Inazuma's shrine headquarters, and he could indeed feel the connection with them.

Although it is weak, it does exist.

In other words, the shrine here is also a formal organization recognized by the gods.

"So who gave me the exemption from the test? It can't be true."

Thinking of the woman who came and went in a hurry on the boat, the corners of Bai Qiyun's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

A breeze passed by, rustling the branches and leaves in the forest.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Bai Qiyun raised his head and cast his gaze towards the shrine in front of him.

But he saw a beautiful woman wearing a red and white witch costume, sitting on her knees with her back to him, as if she was praying to something.

The distance was quite far, and Bai Qiyun couldn't hear what she was saying.

He felt that this scene was so sinister that he subconsciously tensed up his nerves.

But when he took two steps forward and saw the figure clearly, he relaxed again.

No one else, because the witch kneeling on the ground is the protagonist he is looking for this time.

"Huzhai Palace, what are you doing?"

Bai Qiyun's shout made the woman stop what she was doing.

The fox ears covered with white down were seen trembling slightly, as if hearing the shouts coming from behind.

But Hu Zhai Palace was unmoved and still sat on the ground in his original posture with no intention of turning around.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun took a helpless breath, walked straight to Huzhai Palace, and then hugged her.

"Alas!"

As if he didn't expect the man to do such a thing, Hu Zhaigong's ears stood up, and his whole body felt as if his hair had exploded.

"Why are you...acting like a gangster?"

"Who made this my shrine?"

Bai Qiyun felt not ashamed but proud. He leaned on the woman's neck and took a deep breath.

The fragrance of cherry blossoms is refreshing, without the smell of fox fur as expected.

This is normal. After all, it is a transformed fairy fox. How can it still retain the flavor of the beast tribe?

Not to mention the two old and new palace ministers, even some well-trained little foxes can eliminate body odor in their animal form, let alone the Fox Palace.

"Let me go, you pervert."

Having said that, Hu Zhaigong's struggle was very weak, as if he was afraid that if he made too big a move, he would scare away the man behind him.

"It's not the first time I touched you. Why didn't you react so much when I touched you before?"

"I was still a fox at that time, can it be the same!"

The two quarreled for a few words, but Huzhai Palace calmed down and stopped struggling.

Bai Qiyun's hands wandered over Hu Zhai Palace's delicate body, touching everything that should be touched and not touched.

Hu Zhai Palace's ears turned red with embarrassment.

This was the first time she was touched like this by Bai Qiyun in human form. Before, it was just a hug.

After a while, Bai Qiyun released his hands and pulled her up from the ground.

"Come see the shrine with me."

"Um."

Bai Qiyun put his hands behind his back, walking leisurely on the road in the shrine courtyard like a great leader.

Huzhai Palace lowered his head and followed him silently.

Compared with the old shrine, the newly built shrine occupies a larger area, and traces of expansion can be seen.

The internal buildings of the shrine also have seven or eight more rooms, forming a small inner courtyard.

There are two small ponds opened on both sides of the road connecting the outer courtyard, but there are not many fish in the ponds, and only some water-loving plants are planted in them.

At the very back of the courtyard stands a huge ginkgo tree leaning against the mountain wall. I don’t know where the monsters got it from.

After walking around twice, Bai Qiyun stopped.

“The architectural style here is very similar to Narukami Taisha Shrine.”

Whether it was the structure of the courtyard, the pond, or the big tree behind the courtyard, Bai Qiyun was reminded of the structure of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Hearing this, Hu Zhaigong was stunned, her head tilted to one side, her eyes were a little subtle.

"Ah...well, they don't know how to design a building, so they just copy it. At least it won't be wrong."

"oh."

Bai Qiyun's response was brief.

But when Huzhai Palace came back to his senses and looked at the man in front of him, he happened to bump into Bai Qiyun's deep eyes.

She saw a deep meaning in it.

At this moment, Huzhai Palace's mind was spinning rapidly.

She quickly figured out the details and couldn't help but secretly thought something was wrong.

A casual answer revealed that she knew the details of building the shrine.

This is great, before I had time to establish a good relationship with the man in front of me, I sold myself out instead.

However, Bai Qiyun immediately withdrew his meaningful look, and instead of delving into this matter, he asked other questions.

"If you build a shrine in the forest, will people come to worship?"

"This...probably not."

Hu Zhaigong's expression froze, he scratched the corner of his mouth and said uncertainly.

When they built the shrine, the youkai didn't consider the incense, they just built it simply because they wanted to.

she asked tentatively.

"Maybe save it for next year's courage test?"

"In that case, there is no need to build a real shrine."

Bai Qiyun glanced sideways at this guy who was pretending to be stupid.

Facing the man's gaze, Huzhai Palace turned his head angrily, not daring to look directly at Bai Qiyun in front of him.

"Forget it, do you have a place to stay here?"

"Well... there should be one, but it's just built. Many daily necessities are not available here."

"It doesn't matter, just spend the night here tonight."

After saying that, Bai Qiyun directly took Hu Zhaigu's wrist and walked towards the back courtyard of the shrine.

"Eh? Hey, don't pull me, I'll leave!"

Amidst the cries of the white-furred fox, Bai Qiyun arrived at the largest building in the backyard.

Perhaps due to the influence of Narukami Taisha Shrine, this tallest building is actually not that high, only about three stories high.

Of course, it may also be because it was built in the guard forest. If it was too high, it would break the tree crown above.

Seeing that the pavilion door was closed, Bai Qiyun kicked it open without any explanation.

Seeing this, Hu Zhaigu wanted to say that this was a shrine, but then he thought that this so-called god was not the person who kicked the door in front of him.

Forget it, since he likes to mess around in his own home, let him do it.
