What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

With them in hand, we couldn't continue westward, so we had to throw them away!

"On the west side of this mountain, there is said to live a god who can grant any wish."

Having thought this through, Ryoko had made up her mind.

"I'm going to find her. I'm going to become the strongest fox in the world, so no fox will bully me anymore!"

"No, not just foxes."

"Those wolf cubs don't dare to chase me away anymore!"

Holding the crystal ball, Su Yu looked at the innocent-looking little Liangzi and felt a deep sense of pity.

But something just felt off.

Although girls change a lot as they grow up, Ryoko was quite ambitious and had a variety of emotions when she was young. Why did she become indifferent to everything as she grew up?

Could it be that something important was taken away while searching for the gods?

Keep reading.

Xiao Liangzi hurried along in the snow, not knowing how long she had been walking, her clothes becoming more and more tattered.

The wind and snow brushed against her face, making it rosy.

Her hands and feet were severely frostbitten.

When Ryoko arrived at the so-called shrine inhabited by gods, she only saw a dilapidated temple that had been abandoned for who knows how long.

How can a shrine without worshippers be inhabited by gods?

Was I scammed?

Ryoko's last glimmer of hope was extinguished.

She collapsed to the ground and closed her eyes in despair.

When the darkness before her eyes was replaced by light again, she saw the Inari God in full regalia, and Inari God's radiant messengers.

They rode in magnificent sedan chairs, flying through the clouds.

Ryoko simply lay in the snow, recalling the last moments of her fox life.

"Fox, our time has not yet come."

"but……"

"Right now, I can show you a clear path."

The voice of Inari God helped Ryoko regain some of her senses.

"Push open this door, go inside this shrine, and eat what's inside."

"From this day forward, you will become the master of this shrine."

"If you want to become stronger, eat more."

Upon hearing this, Ryoko forced herself to get up from the ground, her body stiff.

She pushed open the door of the shrine without a second thought.

However, what came into view was neither steaming hot steamed buns nor dumplings, nor any offerings of fruit.

Yes, there was only one mountain god, who was extremely weak and lying on the ground.

Half of the mountain god's body became transparent due to his weakness, and inside his chest cavity, a green heart was beating slowly.

Seeing this, Ryoko was terrified and didn't know what to do.

As a fox, she had an innate reverence for the gods. Upon witnessing this scene, the first thing she thought of was to quickly save the god, even if it was just by feeding her some wild fruits and pancakes!

But, to her surprise, she overheard the innermost thoughts of this seemingly gentle mountain god:

"Ah, here comes a foolish fox! If I can eat her heart, I can be resurrected! Hehehe..."

This is what the mountain god was thinking.

Ryoko stared at her blankly.

“Fox, come here and help me up.” The mountain god looked at her gently: “Let me take a good look at you.”

Ryoko walked over expressionlessly.

But before the other party could make a move, she grabbed the emerald heart and yanked it out.

"If I eat it, I can become the master of the shrine, right? Well then, thank you for your blessing, I will eat it with gratitude."

273. Ryoko's inner conflict and her sins

Later, Ryoko learned how the so-called god who could grant all wishes would change her fox life.

After consuming the heart of this god, Ryoko became a fox who could never get enough to eat.

Her appetite changed from initially eating only one bowl of rice per meal for three meals a day to being able to eat the equivalent of two cows a day.

She was often hungry and had to hunt everywhere.

Gradually, she discovered the pattern.

Ordinary cattle and sheep can only feed her for one day.

However, if a spirit or monster possesses spiritual energy, it can eat its fill for two or three days after just one meal.

The more powerful the spirit, the longer it will keep you full after eating it.

So, following this logic, what would happen if we ate another god?

They probably won't need to eat for hundreds of years!

Ryoko was driven to the brink of madness by hunger.

However, what she found quite good was that after eating the mountain god's heart, she no longer felt cold.

My body is always ice-cold.

Of course, it won't feel hot in the summer.

She used to be able to carry only a bundle of firewood, but now she can carry an entire thick tree.

"As the master of a shrine, shouldn't you listen to other people's wishes?"

After having eaten her fill, Ryoko sat atop the shrine, gazing at this secluded mountain wilderness.

"Sigh, it's probably impossible for anyone to come and make a wish."

Indeed, she had never received a wish list since she took over the shrine.

After devouring all the spirits and monsters from the surrounding mountains, Ryoko decided to leave and go to another mountain.

On the very day she was about to leave, she saw Inari again at the shrine entrance.

This time, Inari came alone.

She sat on the steps by the door, holding a pale blue heart in her hands.

The heart is still beating; it appears to have just left its owner's chest.

"Consider this a gift to congratulate you on your advancement."

"Promotion?"

Ryoko looked at her blankly.

"What advancement?"

The Inari god looked up at her, his eyes devoid of emotion, and spoke in a businesslike tone: "You have already embarked on the path to godhood. Do you perhaps wish to remain a fox forever, rather than a fox spirit?"

Ryoko shook her head.

If she remains a fox forever, then someone will always bully her.

The thought of the bullying she suffered in the fox den made Ryoko's expression turn cold.

"I want to become an immortal."

"If you want to become an immortal, you must continue along this path."

At this point, Ryoko fully understood what she meant.

So, they took the heart and began to feast.

After eating, she felt as if a fire had ignited inside her body, and her lower abdomen burned unbearably.

Soon, the pain became comparable to scraping flesh with a dull knife.

She clutched her stomach and squatted down.

Squatting didn't relieve the pain, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He was panting heavily.

Cold sweat dripped down my face.

"A complete transformation is always the most painful thing. You must savor it and remember this pain."

The Inari God stood up and looked down at Ryoko, who was in excruciating pain.

"I hope you can survive and come to me, and tell me for yourself what this pain is all about."

……

at this time.

While Su Yu was still looking at Ryoko's past experiences, she suddenly felt that Inari God wasn't as good as Ryoko had imagined.

The god looked at Ryoko as if she were a caged white mouse.

Is that a look of care?

They clearly wanted to see how long Ryoko, this little guinea pig, could survive all sorts of torture!

The image continued to flicker.

Ryoko lay in that dilapidated shrine for who knows how long.
