Chapter 33: Bestowing the Name Yae! Coaxing the Little Fox!

As the atmosphere gradually livened up, the little fox hiding in Raiden Makoto’s arms dared to poke its head out.

“Ying ying?!”

It saw Luo Li’s figure at a glance.

First, a flash of joy, followed by staring at him resentfully.

“Oh, little thing, almost forgot you were still here.”

Luo Li sat up from Saiguu’s lap and beckoned to it with a smile.

“Bad guy!” The little fox made a crisp sound and didn’t move.

“Haven’t seen you for so long, still holding a grudge.”

The little thing hummed and turned its head, sulking like a human child.

Luo Li naturally wouldn’t hold it against it, deliberately conceding: “It was my fault before, little thing, how about you forgive me?”

Its ears moved, and the little fox raised its chin, turned its head back, and stared at him suspiciously.

Seeing Luo Li’s seemingly sincere expression, it hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe him.

Thus, it hopped out of Makoto’s arms with light steps and came before Luo Li.

“If you bully me again, I will never ignore you again.”

After tsundere-ly issuing its threat, the little thing jumped lightly and landed on his shoulder to lie down.

Actually, the little fox quite liked being close to Luo Li, but it had been hiding from him for the past few days out of spite.

Don’t know why, but this man always exuded a scent that was very attractive to it.

Reaching out to scratch the little thing’s chin, Luo Li let it lie there, comfortably flicking its fluffy big tail.

“Saiguu, haven’t you named the little thing yet?”

Hearing him say this, Kitsune Saiguu carefully examined the little fox, which was inexplicably expectant.

Hearing that it was going to have a name, its big, watery eyes widened.

“Wouldn’t it be a bit early?”

Before the little fox could droop its head in disappointment, Raiden Makoto persuaded: “It’s not early; it can transform in a while, so it’s just right to think of a good name in advance, and it’s not very convenient for me to call it usually.”

Hearing the Almighty Shogun speaking up for it, the little fox was invigorated again.

The various changes in expression made Luo Li laugh; it was truly interesting.

Kitsune Saiguu was also amused, pondered for a moment, and looked at the Tenshukaku where cherry blossoms were flying in eight layers.

After a while, she said slowly: “How about we call it Yae.”

The little fox hummed happily, whispering the name “Yae” in a low voice.

“East wind enters my home, flowers bloom in layers.” Makoto nodded: “A good meaning.”

Don’t know why, but hearing the two words Yae, Luo Li first thought not of some “Ying ying monster,” but of “Mountain blowing flowers bloom seven or eight layers, pitifully not a single seed.”

It was quite fitting for Kitsune Saiguu.

“From now on, I’m Yae!”

The little fox, having just obtained a name, was very excited, swinging its tail back and forth, constantly repeating its name.

Chiyo found it interesting, reached out to hold its tail, and teased that it would be a little adult from now on.

Luo Li followed by petting the little fox, joking: “When you inherit the Grand Narukami Shrine in the future, everyone will probably have to respectfully call you Lady Guuji.”

According to the ranking of shrine maidens, Saiguu was also known as Saio, belonging to the highest level.

The next was the shrine maiden, the Guuji.

The little fox looked at Luo Li expectantly: “Really? Can I become a shrine maiden in the future?”

“That goes without saying; the Hakushin bloodline has long been thin, with only two or three left, and you are already a relatively thick branch of the Hakushin lineage, so the position of shrine maiden is yours by right.”

A few good words made the little fox overjoyed, squinting its eyes and showing an extremely satisfied little expression.

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Luo Li still remembered that the little fox was originally not interested in the position of shrine maiden and was tricked into the position by Saiguu with fried tofu.

Now, being slightly seduced by him, it seemed to have taken an interest on its own.

That wasn’t all; Luo Li continued to bluff: “The only problem blocking you now is that you have to make other monsters submit, otherwise it’s a bit difficult to ascend to the position of shrine maiden.”

“Then what should I do?”

The little fox, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, became anxious.

“Don’t rush; counting the days, tonight is a moonless night, the Hyakki Yako (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons); as long as you can make a splash at the gathering, I believe other monsters will recognize you.”

“I know!”

The little guy, who should now be called Yae, had its eyes flash with high fighting spirit, determined to do something big at the Hyakki Yako tonight.

Seeing that her junior was tricked into being lost in just a few words, Kitsune Saiguu not only didn’t dissuade her but added fuel to the fire.

“Not bad, I happen to have a method here.”

Watching the Matriarch with a trusting gaze, Yae waited patiently for the following words.

Kitsune Saiguu said slowly: “Recently, a junior has emerged in the fox clan, with great prospects, named Yorozuya; many monsters treat him as a guest of honor; just suppress his limelight, and you can make a name for yourself in the monster world.”

The little thing’s eyes lit up, feeling that this method was really good, wishing it could participate in the Hyakki Yako immediately to speak up for the Hakushin clan having successors.

As if having a tacit understanding, Luo Li followed Saiguu’s words to tease.

“I’ll return to the Grand Narukami Shrine later, does the little thing want to go together?”

The little guy immediately corrected him with dissatisfaction: “Call me Yae!”

“Alright, alright, little Yae.”

It was satisfied then and nodded in agreement.

The little adult look made Raiden Makoto hold her lower abdomen, it was really too funny.

“You two, only know how to bully a child.”

Even Ei could see from the corners of her mouth that she was holding back laughter very hard.

As for Chiyo, she laughed without restraint.

However, the protagonist of the ridicule, Yae the little fox, was still blank, not knowing why the ladies were laughing.

It was just that she vaguely knew it wasn’t a good thing, and since she didn’t know who to vent her anger on, she stepped heavily on Luo Li’s shoulder.

“Where did I provoke you again?”

Luo Li wouldn’t get angry at a child, let alone the future bratty fox, so he reached out and lifted the little thing by the neck to ask.

“I don’t know, anyway you must be laughing at me!”

The little guy lowered its head gloomily.

Good heavens, throwing a tantrum without a clear reason, learning the unique tricks of women at such a young age, it was indeed gifted.

Luo Li couldn’t help but knead its head, no different from petting a cat.

In the end, Makoto couldn’t stand it, took the initiative to reach out and hold it back in her arms, gently caressing it.
