Chapter 299: Foxes, Sake, and Light Novels!

Luo Li was surprised by her question.

"Kamisato Ayaka..."

After pondering for a moment, Yae Miko heard a melodious voice from the front.

"Just think of it as a collecting hobby, just like how I cultivated you five hundred years ago."

"???"

A collecting hobby?!

Yae Miko could never have imagined this was the answer.

If she really had to say, she thought it was because of her own Hakushin bloodline.

In other words, she was also a piece of the puzzle in his collecting hobby?

Thinking of this, Miko's gaze became subtle.

Regardless of what she thought, the two soon arrived at the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Many shrine maidens saw Luo Li and the Guuji, and hurriedly performed their respects in panic.

A so-called shrine is the place behind the torii gate.

And the torii gate generally symbolizes the portal to the divine realm.

That is to say, the shrine is the kingdom of the gods.

And they are the people who serve the gods; usually, 'shrine maiden' also means dedication.

Therefore, besides respect, these shrine maidens were also somewhat uneasy.

They didn't feel this way when serving the Raiden Shogun, after all, they were all women, and nothing could happen.

But the God Luo was of the opposite sex; no matter what request he made, the shrine maidens had to satisfy it.

Clearly, they were overthinking it; Luo Li wasn't the type to develop an interest in any woman he saw.

At the very least, it had to be someone like Yae Miko.

Interestingly, just as they arrived at the shrine, they saw a cute-looking shrine maiden come to Miko.

"Editor-in-Chief, after you left, there were manuscripts sent by the Yae Publishing House in Inazuma City, hoping you would take a look. Also, they sent food from Uyuu Restaurant."

As she spoke, she pushed two boxes in front of her.

One red, one black.

The red one was slightly larger, and a burst of fragrance came from inside.

"I know. You may go now."

Yae Miko glanced at the smiling Luo Li and felt inexplicably guilty.

"Tsk, when did the title change from Guuji to Editor-in-Chief? Little Yae, you play quite interestingly in private."

Just as she teased the shrine maidens outside, Luo Li could also tease her at will. Using his index finger to lift the little fox spirit's chin in a slightly frivolous manner, his eyes carried a playful smile.

Now that the "perpetrator" had become the victim, Miko could only stare at him with dissatisfaction.

"If Your Highness likes, please do it in the room. Little Yae will follow Your Highness in everything."

In an instant, she took the initiative; this was a trick Miko had learned from the Lady Mistress. Her charming, narrow eyes were watery, and her peach-pink eyeshadow blinked, making her look even more pitiful and lovable.

"Alright, stop pretending. It just so happens I haven't had lunch yet, so solving it here with you is fine."

Luo Li flicked Miko's forehead gently, picked up the red food box, and entered the courtyard inside the shrine.

In an instant, the noise of the front hall became quiet.

Yae Miko raised the corners of her mouth slightly, picked up the black box containing the light novel manuscripts, and followed behind.

A few minutes later!

The courtyard filled with Sakura trees was covered in petals.

Luo Li drank the sake from Uyuu Restaurant while biting into the fried tofu that Miko, despite her dissatisfaction, had to feed to his mouth, sighing that life was truly good.

The reason he let Miko feed him wasn't for enjoyment, but simply because he was reading these light novel manuscripts.

"Hmm, the creativity is still a bit cliché; there are no refreshing themes."

As an old reader who had seen a lot a long time ago, Luo Li's taste was very picky.

The light novels written by these so-called authors were okay in terms of writing style, but the plot was clearly not satisfying enough, or it was too straightforward.

Yae Miko's eyes moved upon hearing this.

"Does Your Highness have any good ideas?"

In order to seek good ideas, she took the initiative to lean against Luo Li, intentionally or unintentionally rubbing her body against his arm.

This subtle flattery from the little fox spirit made Luo Li squint his eyes, feeling it carefully before speaking slowly.

To give an example, he pulled out a book titled *I, Who Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, Am Already Invincible*.

"This title says it all. The sense of anticipation only lasts for a moment and isn't lasting. Clearly, the author's writing ability isn't enough, and the later parts are all meaningless filler."

"Besides that..."

After pointing out a series of shortcomings, he then explained the solution.

"For example, if it were like this..."

By the time he finished speaking, only the last piece of fried tofu remained. **CHAPTER 535**

Yae Miko suddenly realized, and seeing him about to put the last piece of fried tofu to his mouth, she couldn't care about discussing light novels and hurriedly snatched it from his mouth.

"Leave the last piece for me!"

She had only bitten half, and the remaining half was bitten off by Miko. Luo Li couldn't help but be speechless.

Rubbing the corner of his mouth that had just been bumped and felt a bit numb, he had to sigh at the attraction of fried tofu to foxes.

Although she only tasted half a piece, and it still had tooth marks, Miko was very satisfied. Her originally charming eyes narrowed into a line, and she subconsciously hummed a few times.

"The food from Uyuu Restaurant really is still that taste; the heat is just right, and it's incredibly smooth and tender."

To express her happy mood, the fox ears on her head kept swaying up and down.

0 ...

Unfortunately, in the red food box, the fried tofu was already empty.

Food with a special attack buff against foxes was truly extraordinary; even Miko couldn't resist it.

Luo Li saw her rare, cute, and naive side and smiled, touching her ears.

The pink, tender fox ears were fluffy, and the texture was exceptionally comfortable.

The only ones who could play with Miko's ears at will, besides him, were probably Kitsune Saiguu; Raiden Makoto wouldn't have such a bad hobby.

As for Ei, her relationship with Miko was more like that of peers and friends.

When the pleasure passed, Miko returned to normal and asked quietly: "Is there really not a single one worth looking at?"

Compared to her own appreciation level, she trusted Luo Li's eye more.

"It's not that there isn't one. There are still some that have merits, for example, this one..."

Yae Miko's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly looked over.

Luo Li was holding a book titled *The Affairs of the Cold and Aloof God Luo and His Little Wife, the Raiden Shogun*.

"???"

This name, at first glance, felt inexplicably ridiculous.

Yae Miko couldn't help but suspect that he was teasing her.

"Don't look at me like that. Although the title is a bit strange, the content is actually not bad."

With a skeptical expression, Miko leaned her head over, not even caring about the abyss that was squeezed and aggrieved, and stared at the first page of the opened book to read it seriously.

If Your Highness was lying to her, she would cry for him to see. **CHAPTER 536**
