"Having said that, it is still very troublesome for me to manage such a large shrine by myself, so the back hill for my private use is open to the public free of charge. In addition to the shrine, private shops and shops are also allowed inside. For catering, no matter which shop, as long as two people declare their names, they will receive the highest treatment, and please treat them as if they were returning to your own home without any worries."

The little fox revealed half of his face from under the folding fan, hiding the other half of his face with a cunning smile as if coaxing a child.

"who......"

The Demon King's sullen face became distorted, and he bared his fangs in search of blood.

"Huh? I can't hear what you are saying. Even though my furry and cute ears are very sensitive, I can't hear what you are saying clearly."

The little fox shook her complacent ears proudly, but this behavior of not taking the devil's murderous intent seriously was tantamount to further irritating the devil.

Oh no.

Li Mo realized that the situation was going to a very bad place. In short, if she didn't help Lord Demon King, she would take it out on herself again.

"Who wants to go to a place like that!"

But just when Li Mo was about to do something, the Demon King suddenly roared these words at the narrow sky in the alley, then turned back and looked up at Li Mo with his big eyes.

Then she caught off guard and grabbed Li Mo's hand and pulled Li Mo away from the alley.

"Hey, where are you going, Demon King!?"

There was no way Li Mo could pull him away from the Demon King. He was dragged through the crowd through countless streets, and finally got the chance to say a word.

After hearing Li Mo's question, the Demon King stopped in a hurry, but still held Li Mo's hand tightly, and then leaned forward in the direction he was coming from. After confirming that the little fox was not chasing him, he slowly stopped. Let go.

"How do you know where to go?"

He held his hands and turned his back towards Li Mo, with a tone that sounded like he was angry.

The gradually turning blue sky made the petite girl and this helpless young man very inconspicuous.

"How could it be that you ran out suddenly like this?"

Facing the young man's concern, the girl remained silent and just looked at the cloudless sky with her clear red eyes.

"Don't worry too much, let's go back."

"Ali, what's that over there?"

The Demon King completely ignored Li Mo's words and looked away to himself. Although he was still in a bad mood, he was still as willful as usual.

"Listen to me first...hey!"

The earnest persuasion has no effect at all.

The Demon King left Li Mo, who was about to preach, and went to a stall nearby. Li Mo had no choice but to follow him.

"Hey, Ali, what are you doing?"

In the temporary stall set up with a small shed, the Demon King put his hands on the counter and looked at the small toys and dolls displayed in the stall with gleaming eyes. These products were displayed in the innermost part of the small stall. On the shelves, it doesn’t look like they are for sale, but more like some kind of game.

Li Mo, who was chasing after him, squeezed through the crowd and came to her side.

Seeing her look like this, Li Mo knew that she wouldn't be able to listen to anything he said at this time, but that was fine. Playing with her for a while would calm her down, and then it would be easier to talk.

Li Mo sighed, handed 5 copper coins to the stall owner standing by, and then picked up a small sandbag placed on the counter:

"This is how it works. Throw this little sandbag with all your strength. As long as it knocks down the dolls on the shelf, you can take them away."

With that said, Li Mo aimed at a rabbit doll in the middle of the shelf.

After closing one eye and aiming carefully, he waved his hand vigorously. The sandbag flew past the side of the doll and landed on the small net set up behind the shelf. The rabbit doll only moved slightly and did not fall.

"What a pity. There is still one chance. Let's try again."

The stall owner said to Li Mo while putting the doll back in its place.

Li Mo picked up a sandbag again and handed it to the Demon King:

"Miss, come and try."

"oh!"

The Demon King remembered that Li Mo had told her that the relationship between the two of them in a crowded place was that of a housekeeper and a rich lady who was away from home, so he did not care about Li Mo's change of title.

She took the sandbag from Li Mo's hand with both hands solemnly. This was the first time for her, who was used to being pampered, to come into contact with this kind of folk game.

"Is...is it like this?"

asked the Demon King, imitating Li Mo's action of throwing sandbags.

"Yeah."

"Then throw it out with all your strength?"

"Yes, yes, with all your strength..."

boom--

A wave of air blew up the entire hem of Li Mo's tuxedo and hair.

The sandbag in the devil's hand created a straight afterimage that could be seen with the naked eye, and all the 12 stalls in the back, including this stall, were reduced to rubble.

After a while.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Li Mo held the Demon King under his arm and ran desperately to avoid the crowd.

Behind him, headed by the owner of the sandbag stall, countless people were chasing him.

"Hey, A Li, Yu Ke knocked down everything, why don't you take it?!"

"Shut up! I asked you to hit toys, but I didn't ask you to destroy the world!"

"You asked Yu to throw it out with all his strength, and Yu didn't even have half the strength to throw it out, right?"

"Is it my fault? Is it my fault?"

After a while.

"Ah-ha-ah-ha-"

Li Mo knelt in a deserted alley and gasped in a weird way.

"Why are you hiding here? Those people look very weak."

The Demon King standing in front of Li Mo bent down and looked down at Li Mo. His long silver hair covered her face and Li Mo's face.

"Shut up...shut up!"

Li Mo raised a hand, held the Demon King's nose with his fingers and said.

"Wow, what is that!"

Compared to the haggard Li Mo, the Demon King was still much more energetic. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of some interesting activities being held outside the alley, so she left Li Mo and ran outside again.

"I...that you...stop!"

Li Mo broke into a cold sweat and his speech became incoherent. He was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after her, and finally managed to grab the devil by the collar at the entrance of the alley and push her down.

"What are you doing, smelly limo."

"I beg you, please don't participate in such dangerous activities again. At least... at least let me rest for a day before accompanying you."

Li Mo put his trembling hands tightly on the Demon King's shoulders. After not resting all night, he still had the energy to play around with her. This time, he was about to cry.

"Hey, I just played one and stopped playing. How is that possible?"

The Demon King looked impatient and kicked away the stone at his feet as if he was disappointed. But thinking about it, she would not be the Demon King if she could obediently listen to Li Mo's words.

"Then...at least, I can decide what to play, okay?"

"Then what are you talking about playing?"

"Play...play, ah, how about playing that?"

Li Mo, who was about to eliminate everything, suddenly thought of a good idea. He pointed at the very conspicuous Ferris wheel in the distance and said.

This is the Ferris wheel in the newly built paradise in Kaguya City. It was funded and built by human investors and little foxes. It is currently the largest Ferris wheel in the world, with a total height of 165 meters. It takes more than 30 minutes to complete one circle. .

Because of the extremely popular situation, as long as she sat in line, her energy would be exhausted just by queuing. Li Mo couldn't help but admire herself.

"I just wanted to ask, what is that?"

"That's called a Ferris wheel. It's an amusement ride passed down from humans."

"Hey, what's the point of that?"

"It's interesting. The Ferris wheel will rotate slowly. As long as you sit in the Ferris wheel and wait until the highest point, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city of Kaguya City."

"So, uh, why do you go all the way to sit there?"

The Demon King had a blank expression on his face, and she stared straight into Li Mo's eyes, waiting for his answer.

But her appearance confuses Li Mo.

"Wha, what do you mean? Hey, hey, what are you doing!"

Seeing that Li Mo couldn't give a decent answer, the Demon King sighed, jumped up, grabbed Li Mo's waist, held him under his arm and lifted him up.

Then he squatted down deeply and jumped with all his strength.

Li Mo's field of vision gradually exceeded the height of roadside stalls, the height of rows of houses, and then the height of the Ferris wheel.

You can have a panoramic view of the gorgeous scenery of the entire city, and the morning breeze caressing your ears makes you feel relaxed and happy. What a wonderful feeling it is.

How strange!

"ah----!!!"

How fast he fell can be judged from Li Mo's screams and his face that was cramped by the wind.

"Ah-ha-ah-ha-"

Li Mo knelt on the ground and gasped in a weird way. He felt like he was about to vomit.

"It's really unseemly, Ali."

The Demon King pretended that it had nothing to do with him, and spoke in a leisurely tone while shaking his head.

"How can someone suddenly hug someone else, vomit - vomit -"

A rainbow-colored light emerged from Li Mo's mouth.

"I beg you, Miss, let's stop playing and go back to the little fox, okay?"

After vomiting the rainbow, Li Mo hugged the devil's waist and begged bitterly. This time he really cried.

"......don't want."

The Demon King was silent for a moment and then thought softly, then pushed away Li Mo's hand and took a step back.

Her head was composed, and her long hair covered her eyes.

"Don't be willful, you know..."

"No! No! No! No! I just..."

The Demon King's emotions suddenly became excited, but fell silent within a moment, and his roars also stopped and turned into a slight groan.

She turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears, walked to the dumpling shop alone and sat down on the bench at the door.

The dumplings here seem to be very greasy, and no one would want to eat this kind of thing early in the morning, so at this moment, the only people inside and outside the store were the Demon King and Li Mo who were following him.

Li Mo tentatively sat down closest to the Demon King.

"want to go back home."

The Demon King said with a cry. She took off her shoes and huddled on the chair, hugging her legs and burying her face in them.

"As a demon king, Yu is no match for that stinky fox. Yu clearly knows that even if Yu is just such a demon king, A-li will stay with me. So Yu just wants to play with A-li and wants A-li to stay with me." I’m just happier being with Yu than with the smelly fox, but A Li is not happy at all, and the Spring Festival is really boring.”

Listening to Lord Demon King's muttering monologue, Li Mo chuckled.

"Because the Spring Festival is also an old-fashioned festival, and the events held are all old-fashioned traditional activities, which are completely incomparable with the games and other things we are exposed to now. There is nothing we can do about it."

"In this case, we might as well go back now."

"But I don't want to go back yet. Originally, I owed the little fox a favor so I didn't want to stay any longer, but there is a program I want you to watch anyway."

"What is it?"

The Demon King raised his head and stared at Li Mo with his beautiful eyes soaked in tears.

"Fireworks display."

"What's so good about fireworks? They can be set off at the entrance of Demon King's City."

The Demon King was immediately deflated, crossed his legs and buried his face in them.

"Those are no ordinary fireworks."

Li Mo looked at the huddled Demon King and smiled. He looked at the sky. His eyes were the same clear red as the Demon King:

"You have seen it before when we celebrated the Spring Festival in Demon King Castle. The little sparks in the distance are the fireworks that can be seen from as far away as Demon King Castle. When the twelve o'clock bell rings in the city, When the time comes, the fireworks will take off on time. Every time the fireworks bloom, they can cover the entire sky. The remaining sparks will also streak to the horizon like shooting stars. Once you see that kind of gorgeous scene, you will never see it again. I won’t forget it, so I also want you to see it, Lord Demon King.”

The Demon King looked towards Li Mo with his face raised.

She stared closely at Li Mo's eyes that reflected the sky. She suddenly saw that under the night sky illuminated by fireworks, she and the black-haired young man were looking at the sky quietly as they were now.

"real?"

There was no special surprise. The Demon King's voice was like a pitiful lamb, seeking answers from Li Mo.

"Yeah, of course."

Li Mo calmly asked the question, saying that he was very good at dealing with the Demon King, but this answer clearly showed that he was not perfunctory this time, but his real thoughts before and now.

"So, can you bear it a little longer?"

His hand gently rested on the Demon King's head.

"Um."

She hid her face under Li Mo's hand and nodded like a child.

"Oh? Is the matter settled?"

A sweet voice with some dialect sounded from beside them.

The two instinctively turned their heads following the voice, and before they knew it, the little fox wearing a noble witch costume was sitting next to Li Mo.

"Ah! Stinky fox, when and where have you been!"

The devil bared his fangs like a cat with exploded hair, staring at the little fox fiercely while making a threatening hiss.

"Probably from the point of view that as a demon king, I can't compare to the beautiful and dignified fairy fox."

"Isn't that the beginning? And don't tamper with the content without permission!"

The Demon King's eyes emitted a strange light. If a child saw the glare in her eyes, he would definitely cry, and it might even leave psychological trauma.

"So you've been following me all along."

Li Mo smiled bitterly and pressed the back of the Demon King's neck, who might attack at any time.

"Of course, the destroyed pavilion may be small, but it is an important place for others to make a living."

"I said how could I not get into trouble? It turns out you helped to settle the matter. I really caused trouble for you."

Li Mo clasped his hands together and lowered his head to the little fox.

"This little thing is not much trouble for me, so Lord Limo doesn't need to thank me. Besides, there are still things for Lord Limo to deal with."

"I refuse. Taking advantage of the situation will not work for me."

Li Mo replied decisively.

"Didn't I say it before, little fox, just this time, the matter you entrusted to me has been taken care of, and I won't help you any more."

"Of course I understand, and taking advantage of the fire is not what I did. When it comes to this matter, it has nothing to do with me but comes from someone else's request. But since you said so, then It’s up to me to refuse.”

The little fox put down the folding fan and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, and then made a motion to tear it up...

"etc!"

Li Mo hurriedly stopped her because Li Mo found that small piece of paper had a delicate seal on it.

If others don't recognize this seal, he will definitely recognize it. This is the official seal of the Northern Water Land Lord Hall. Usually, things covered with this seal are terrible things.

"In the end what happened?"

Helpless at the end.

He understood that the little fox didn't make it clear before, but deliberately let him see the seal. It was obvious that the troublemaker was teasing him, but the fact that she could make such a joke meant that the situation was not serious.

"The lord of the northern water land is missing."

"What, I thought...Eh? Eh————!!!!!"
