I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 348 Yuzi, you don’t want to either.
Although Dong Ye Yu firmly believed that he had a clear mind and would not be tempted by the rapid progress brought about by these elixirs, he did not want to take too much.

The main reason is that it is useless. From the Golden Elixir to the Yang God stage, the emphasis is on refining Yin into pure Yang.

The five elements of spiritual essence brought by the Jiao Pear will not play any role for the time being, but it can save the time of running around to refine the five elements of spiritual essence during the Five Qis Converging into Origin period in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

However, I don’t know how many years it will take for me to become an immortal.

Moreover, the spiritual essence of the five elements can be searched for in famous mountains and rivers. It is rare but can be found. It just takes some effort to refine it. It is mentioned in the notes of the jade slips. For example, the essence of Wu Earth in Mount Tai is relatively abundant and can be refined into Wu Earth Qi.

However, panaceas that can prolong the lifespan of mortals are rare. Most of the ones we have heard of are elixirs or slightly inferior elixirs.

But the effect is only as good as a mosquito leg - extending life by a few years is almost the same as nothing.

"There are many elixirs and magic pills that can improve cultivation, but few of them can prolong life - especially for mortals."

"I thought since there are quite a lot of them and immortal fruits are rare, I might as well share them with my family."

"You two elders don't have to worry about eating too much. You don't have any cultivation base, so just eating a quarter of the fruit will help you prolong your life. Eating more won't help you prolong your life. The excess spiritual essence cannot be refined and will dissipate between heaven and earth."

Dong Yeyu said, seeing the old couple just shook their heads, he said: "Since it is necessary for cultivation, we won't eat it. If it really doesn't work, we can take it out and exchange it for treasures to slay demons and monsters."

So he went up to Miko who was sitting next to him and elbowed her.

Miko seemed to feel nothing as she sat there scratching the black cat's belly.

"Yuzi, your grandparents are already in their seventies and eighties. You don't want to see them pass away in a few years, do you?"

Higashino Yu whispered in Miko's ear.

Yu Zi paused for a second and looked back at Dong Ye Yu. Her amber eyes were empty and clear, and she seemed lifeless, just like usual.

She said nothing, just stared at him.

Dong Yeyu, who knows her well, knows very well that this girl is holding back her anger. The angrier she gets, the calmer her expression becomes. Cold violence is a tactic she often uses.

Most of the time in the dreams, it was Dongye Yu who took the initiative to negotiate, the two of them were honest with each other, expressed their feelings to each other, and then reached a settlement, but it was obviously impossible at the moment.

Both sides know how this conflict arose and that the problem has almost no solution.

She might have thought that I was using the old couple as an excuse to force her to accept my greedy ideas.

"I didn't mean to use Grandpa Iori and Grandma Tomoko to force Miko. I just wanted the people I cherish to live longer, that's all."

Dongye Yu whispered earnestly in Yu Zi's ear with a sincere voice. After he finished speaking, he sat looking at her. The curve of his lips was filled with the bright summer sun outside, and his eyes were bright and clear.

Specious.

Asumi Sanae, who was sitting opposite, watched the two people talking with some gnashing of teeth, but the etiquette she had learned from childhood to university prevented her from losing her temper at the dinner table - the Moon Witch would not do such a disrespectful thing.

Besides, they had just decided to temporarily, short-term, and temporarily accept Miko and Ajing. Asumi Sanae took a deep breath and closed her eyes, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

Iori Tadamichi, who was sitting in the first seat, was happy to see that the relationship between Higashino Yu and Miko was getting better and better. He took the empty ceramic wine glass and placed it in front of Tomoko's grandmother.

The old lady said nothing, just poured a little wine from the jug and handed it over.

Iori Tadamichi subconsciously picked up the wine glass and saw that the wine in the glass was enough to wet his lips. He looked at his wife, smiled helplessly, and took a sip.

"Ayu, you don't need to drag Yuzi along. It's useless no matter who comes. Your grandmother Tomoko and I have already realized that good things can't be wasted on an old man like me."

Miko lowered her eyes, swirling her soft white index finger in Meowki's fur, and was silent for a moment.

He really treated the people of the Iori family as his family, and would bring back any good things to share. It would be great if it was just like in the dream.
His eyes swept over Asumi Sanae, who was sitting across the table pretending nothing had happened. He suppressed the bitterness and anger in his heart and spread his hands towards Higashino Yu.

"Be careful, it's very sharp." Dong Ye Yu immediately understood what she meant, handed the knife over and reminded him that the remaining magic power in the fruit knife could still maintain the effect of slaying demons for a while.

Miko nodded slightly, carefully picked up the pear and placed it in a large ceramic bowl filled with water that had been prepared long ago, and neatly cut it into four equal pieces without splashing any water.

Miko and Tomoko's grandmother learned to cook, and her cooking skills improved rapidly. Higashino Yu was moved, and Miko was also cooking in his dream.

After the pear was cut open, the room was suddenly filled with an extremely rich spiritual essence, and the irresistible fragrance attracted everyone's sense of smell.

Not only are there cat heads inside the room, but there are also dozens of cat heads at the door outside.

Miko placed the pear, which was filled with mist from the spiritual essence, in front of his grandparents, giving each of them a quarter. He looked at their stunned expressions and said seriously, "If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."

After saying that, he sat back in his seat, hugged Miao Ji, who couldn't help but go closer to her grandparents to hand over the pear, and held her nose.

"This..." Iori Tadamichi felt that his granddaughter seemed to have changed a lot. He picked up the small plate of pear and was about to stand up.

I was indeed too polite. Acting first and asking for permission later is a good strategy.

Dong Yeyu quickly stopped him: "I won't eat it. If you don't want to eat it, just leave it here and let it lose its spiritual essence and rot in the end."

Miko and Sanae also quietly sat away when they saw Tomorrow.

The old man looked at himself and Yuko with an expression of disbelief, and seeing this, Dong Ye Yu added another sentence.

"There are only a few Jiaoli trees in this fairyland. They bloom once every three thousand years and bear fruit once every three thousand years. There are only a few dozen fruits at a time."

Of course, this is something I made up, but Grandpa Iori doesn't know, so I'll just say it in a more serious way. Most of the old people from the last century have one characteristic, which is that they can't stand waste, and the old couple in front of me are no exception.

Normally when cooking, they would control each person's food intake to avoid waste. But if they saw such precious fairy fruit being wasted, they would be extremely anxious.

After all, the old man had been a priest for decades, and his son and daughter-in-law were genuine demon hunters. They had heard a little about the treasures and elixirs in the world of cultivation and understood the value of this fairy fruit better than ordinary people. He grimaced in pain.

"A waste of natural resources."

He grumbled, but did not refuse, and said to his wife: "Since it is Ayu's wish, then we should accept it."

Grandma Tomoko looked at her granddaughter helplessly, then bowed slightly to Higashino Yu to express her gratitude.

Dong Yeyu quickly returned the gift.

Even though their relationship was very close, Grandma Tomoko's daily words and actions still followed the etiquette she had followed for many years.

Afterwards, Higashino Yu placed the remaining two petals in front of Miko and Asumi Sanae, and said seriously: "You are also people I cherish. No matter what the outcome will be, I will cherish this fate with you, so please don't accept it without any burden." Then, Higashino Yu looked at Miko and said with a smile: "As Miko said, it would be a waste if you don't eat it."

"After eating, you should hurry up and go to the study to practice. Refine as much spiritual essence as you can. Don't force yourself to refine what you can't refine. It's also good to use it to strengthen your physique and prolong your life."

Miko picked up the pear and looked at Higashino Yu: "What about you?"

"I'll cut another piece. Haruhara-senpai and Inaho-hime-no-mikoto will also be offered. What about Tobi?"

"It should still be——"

Miko spoke softly, and at this moment, a small voice came from outside the door. Several people looked outside the door and saw a girl in a rustic black skirt walking out from behind the shoji door outside the corridor.

Fei Yi saw that everyone was looking at him, blushed and said coldly: "I just happened to be passing by."

She had just smelled this fragrance in the Guardian Forest, and followed it, discovering that it was Dong Yeyu and the others who were sharing the fairy fruit and were about to leave.

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Grandma Tomoko smiled kindly.

The Iori couple have a good impression of this monster girl who has always been with Miko to protect her, and she is always given a share of any delicious food.

Of course, there are other reasons - she is one of the few monsters in the world that can be seen by Iori Tadamichi, which can be regarded as fulfilling some of the old man's wishes.

Fei Yi looked at the people sitting in the Japanese-style room. The atmosphere was even warmer than the one he had felt at the Furukawa family before. He wanted to join in, but he was inexplicably afraid. He stood at the door and hesitated to move forward as if he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Come in. This is the fairy fruit I recently obtained from a god. It is very precious and I plan to share it with everyone. I was just about to call you. It's good that you are here, so I don't have to make another trip." Dong Ye Yu said with a smile.

"Well, excuse me for bothering you," Fei Yi bowed awkwardly, then carefully sat down next to Miko.

Her cultivation was not yet strong enough to transform, so she was still in illusion mode. Although the room was spacious, a big bird like her could easily break something if she was not careful when walking in.

Dong Ye Yu then picked up another pear and cut it into four pieces in a bowl of water, and placed them on four small white porcelain plates.

He pushed one of the small porcelain plates in front of Fei Yi, and glanced at the cat spirits in the corridor and Meow Ji, who was drooling all over the floor in Miko's arms.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and looked at Yuzi: "How about giving this to them?"

This bowl is not small, with a capacity of about one liter. It was originally used to hold soup. At this time, the clear water in it has been mixed with the juice of the pear tree, and its color is like emerald, and fairy stamens appear and disappear as the spiritual energy flows.

Even though it has only absorbed a little juice from the pear tree, it is still a rare treasure in the world. If this basin of water is taken out, it will surely attract countless demon hunters and monsters to scramble for it.

While we eat the fairy fruit, it's okay for these loyal cats to drink some soup.

"Just make your own decision, Tono Nissan, there's no need to ask Miko," Miko said softly.

Dong Yeyu was helpless, but he also knew that his thoughts and actions regarding relationships were very rational, and he didn't have any temper at all.

Put the porcelain bowl at the end of the dining table, where there is an empty seat.

After getting permission, a group of colorful big cats filed in, surrounded Miao Ji, squatted at the end of the dining table, looked at Dong Yeyu in disbelief, as if asking - "Is this something cats can eat?"

Dong Yeyu smiled and nodded: "Please enjoy it, this is what you deserve."

When the orange cat heard this, his pupils trembled. He immediately used his tongue to comb the hair around his mouth and was about to open his mouth to inhale violently.

puff!
Miaoji punched the orange cat on the head, and a solemn and serious expression appeared on the cat's face.

Many cats squatted in front of the porcelain bowl, meowing in unison at first, and then came to Dong Ye Yu and rubbed against him.

The orange cat rubbed twice more, but only got a touch from Dong Yeyu. Seeing that there was no extra reward, it sat back in its original position with the other cats and waited quietly for dinner.

"I will go and offer my respects to Haruhara-senpai and Inaho-hime first."

After talking to everyone, Higashino Yu picked up the plate of pears, stood up, left the Iori family's courtyard, and came to the shrine. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the spiritual essence and fragrance of the pears in the plate disappeared, and it became like an ordinary pear.

Dongye Yu could feel that there was a divine power sealing the cut pear, preventing the spiritual essence from being lost.

It's only been a few minutes, not much spiritual energy will be lost, right?

Dong Ye Yu muttered to himself and came to the worship hall.

This was the time when the sun was at its hottest, and the entire shrine seemed to be immersed in blazing white light, so bright that people had to squint to see things.

The surroundings were very quiet, with only the seemingly never-ending chirping of cicadas and the echo of car horns in the distance, and the shade of the trees swaying silently in the wind.

There were not many tourists in the shrine, probably because it was lunchtime. The trainee shrine maiden Natsuki Moriyama was also sitting in a bungalow that sold amulets and souvenirs, eating the lunch that Tomoko's grandmother had brought her.

This country girl is extremely grateful for every meal and is a serious eater.

Dong Ye Yu placed one of the plates in the worship hall, made the Shangqing seal, and bowed.

"I am very grateful for your care. This small gift is not a token of my respect."

The big bell tied with a thick colorful rope in front of the worship hall made a crisp tinkling sound, as if in response.

Higashino Yu always felt a little strange that Princess Inaho never showed up and even didn't talk to him.

But a god, especially a popular Kunizu god, should have some status. Anyway, it is enough for me to know that this is a god with a cold face but a warm heart.

Another small porcelain plate is placed under the fox and Komainu representing Spring Plain.

"Senior Chunyuan, please have some fruit." Dongye Yu smiled and greeted the stone sculpture of Komainu, then turned around and walked back.

A gust of wind blew behind him, and both the porcelain plate and the pear disappeared.

A tourist who was sitting under a big tree not far away and resting in the cool air looked at this side in astonishment, rubbed his eyes, and grabbed his companion's hand to point in this side.

Higashino Yu quickly returned to Iori's house and came to the Japanese-style room where they were having dinner. Noticing that the atmosphere was a little strange, he sat back in his seat and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look there."

Following Asumi Sanae's gaze, Higashino Yu discovered that a plate of pear trees had appeared in front of Miko at some point.
