Becoming a god in a low-key way in the supernatural world

He couldn't afford to provoke a ruthless being like the Queen of the Demon Path right now, especially since Yosuke's matter might also fall on her shoulders...

"When I see Kitamura Kenzo again, I'll ask for his opinion first."

Thinking this, after he withdrew all the curses, he cut open the dark purple vortex with one hand and stepped back to Illusionless Mountain.

This time, he went to Nishiino Station. After returning to the human world, he looked up at the night sky, which was now filled with stars. After a moment's thought, he didn't go home but went straight to the airport and flew to Hokkaido once again.

At two o'clock in the morning, he once again stepped onto the summit of the snow-capped mountain, took out a tent and pots and pans, and set up camp on the spot.

The mountains were still bustling late at night, but this place was utterly quiet.

After a satisfying meal, Kotegawa lay on a soft mat, gazing up at the clear starry sky.

When will I be able to sleep on the clouds like Kitami Takezō, instead of having to become a cloud myself to fly?

He rested his head on his hands, and in the far distance of his vision, a white cloud rapidly descended and grew larger.

Kitami Takezon appeared.

He got up in surprise, having thought he wouldn't see Him until dawn.

Bei Yujianzun was always dressed in a white gauze robe. She gently raised her hand, and a speck of ice flew towards him.

Kotegawa reached out and caught it, looking at Him.

"Once you reach the Underdark, it will lead you to the vicinity of that little fox."

Overjoyed, he first bowed in thanks, then took out the two fragments of the divine seal, "Curse" and "Mountain God," and handed them to Him.

Bei Yujian played with the fragments of the "curse" divine seal, nodded slightly, and instructed, "Don't come to see me for the next six months."

Kotegawa, who was about to speak, choked for a moment. Before He left, he quickly said, "My Lord, if I kill the true spirits of the Demon King and the Viper God, will the Demon Queen attack me?"

Bei Yujianzun pondered for a moment and said, "The Ghost Queen will not take action for this reason. Just like if you were killed by them, I will not take action unless it is a god personally bullying someone. This is a rule restriction."

"That's good." Kotegawa was relieved.

Kitami Kenzun added, "However, He will try to recruit you as His attendant. If you refuse, He will likely make his move."

"Huh?" Kotegawa's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said, "I am a true king under your command, how can I become a close attendant of the Queen of the Demon Path?"

“Yes…” Bei Yujian nodded in agreement, but sighed softly, “But I can’t beat the Ghost Queen. If she tries to take you away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop her.”

Kotegawa was dumbfounded.

Doesn't that mean we still can't kill them?

"Let me think about it..." Bei Yujianzun's eyes flickered with curiosity: "Do you have a great grudge against them? Even in the past, no one but that stinky snake would dare to do something like exterminating true spirits so brazenly."

Kotegawa scratched his head, probably thinking, "It's not that I can't do it, it's that I simply can't do it."

Viper God's talent is too unique.

The curse god I killed a couple of days ago also fell victim to this.

Otherwise, he would never be able to defeat a cursed god who possesses a fragment of a divine seal.

He replied, “I do want to kill the evil king, who has established the evil spirit society on earth and killed countless innocent people.”

"If you only kill one evil demon king, the Demon Queen will not notice you."

After thinking for a moment, Kotegawa decided to speak frankly: "In addition, I also want to try to improve my own True Spirit."

Bei Yujianzun's eyes immediately turned into a half-smile; he had already guessed it.

"You're truly amazing," He exclaimed. "I've really picked up a rare gem."

I don't know if the word "weirdo" is good or bad, but in some ways it is quite fitting.

Kitamura Kenzun continued, "If you had been born a thousand years ago, you might be sitting here right now."

"You flatter me." Kotegawa shook his head.

He had no idea what things were like a thousand years ago. Perhaps the environment was even harsher back then, and it was uncertain whether he could have grown up successfully.

This topic was quite sensitive, and Bei Yujianzun did not want to attract the attention of the Three Noble Sons Divine Order, so he said softly: "A thousand years ago, the Ghost Queen had seven attendants under her command, and now only five remain: the second attendant, Viper God; the third attendant, Corpse King; the fourth attendant, Snow King; the fifth attendant, Evil Road King; and the seventh attendant, Evil Ghost King."

Kotegawa's eyes flickered as he tentatively asked, "Ranked according to strength?"

Bei Yujian nodded slightly and advised, "The Evil Ghost King is a newly appointed close attendant. He is capricious and acts recklessly. It wouldn't be surprising if he were killed one day. The Evil Road King is the strategist by the Ghost Queen's side and rarely leaves her. The Snow King is stationed in another nameless place, which you probably won't be able to see. The Viper God is still recovering. Its body is too large, and the recovery time will be very long. The Corpse King is stationed in the Ghost Kingdom, but she is the Ghost Queen's child. If you encounter her, I suggest you stay as far away as possible."

Kotegawa immediately became stern.

Chapter 162 Fleeting Life (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, Kotegawa watched Kitamori Takematsu leave before turning and walking away as well.

The ice crystals obtained earlier are temporarily frozen deep within the Realm of Impermanence. As long as you don't go to the Dark Land, the ice crystals will not be triggered.

According to Kitami Kenzun, Natsuki Shuren is still alive, but he has been hiding himself by some unknown means.

Knowing this, he wasn't in a hurry to go searching immediately.

He needed to consider other things first, such as why Xia Mu Shuren was banished, which god he had offended, and whether Inari God would personally take action if he found him and brought him back.

Although he is a true king under Kitami Takematsu, Inari God might not necessarily do anything to him, but Natsuki no Tsubasa might.

If the Inari god really did something to him, he wouldn't be able to stop him even if he wanted to.

In short, let's put this matter aside for now and wait until Qingkong's parents wake up. Besides, the end of the semester is coming up soon, and it wouldn't be good to go home without good grades.

And next time you go to the Ghost Kingdom, be especially careful to avoid that Corpse King...

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the airport and bought a ticket for the next available flight back to Tokyo.

It was still pitch black, and it was only five in the morning.

He didn't linger and went straight home.

The house was quiet; even the cat was still fast asleep. He didn't make a sound, went upstairs, took a shower in the bathroom, and changed into his pajamas.

When he came downstairs again, he immediately saw Qingkong standing by the wall, looking at him with his head tilted to the side.

Qingkong asked softly, "When did you get back?"

"Just now..." Kotegawa replied softly, "I went to Hokkaido this time, and I won't need to go out anymore. I'll stay here until my aunt and uncle wake up."

Qingkong looked up at him and nodded gently: "That's what I wanted to say too. Next week is exam week. If I miss the exam, it won't be easy to explain to Aunt Qiuye, will it?"

"Time flies!" he exclaimed.

Qingkong gave him a strange look.

In that case, wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to say it? This guy is away from home for more than half the month!

Kotegawa chuckled dryly, watched her go into the bathroom to wash up, and then went into the kitchen by himself. While getting an apron, he took out ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare breakfast.

Although he is occasionally away from home, the refrigerator is always well-stocked with food, just in case he comes back unexpectedly and there is nothing to eat.

If he doesn't come back, Qingkong will share the food with Takanashi and Yuka, or they'll all have a meal together and finish everything off. In short, there's no way anything will be wasted.

Qingkong, having finished washing up, quickly came to the kitchen.

It's only the beginning of March, and the temperature is still very low in the mornings, so it's impossible to take a shower.

It will be better when summer comes, then I can take a shower as soon as I get up.

The two started preparing breakfast, inevitably getting all sticky and affectionate. After they finished everything, an hour and a half before everyone else was supposed to get up, Kotekawa washed his hands, took off his apron, and carried Haruka upstairs.

An hour and a half later, as dawn broke, Yuka, her hair still messy from sleep, emerged from her bedroom and said instinctively, "Good morning."

The two people sitting in the living room watching the morning weather forecast responded in unison.

Yujia went into the bathroom, and then the kitten and the big white cat came out of their bedroom one after the other.

However, the two cats suddenly stopped moving in unison, their noses twitched slightly, and they both quickly lowered their heads.

The kitten remained unfazed and said in a clear, crisp voice, "Good morning, Sister Sunny Sky!"

"Hello, go wash up, dinner is ready," Qingkong replied, covering her mouth.

The kitten gave her a strange look, said nothing, and walked towards the bathroom with the big white cat.

When only the big white cat was left in the living room, squatting on the floor washing its face with its front paws, Qingkong glared at Kotegawa, covered her mouth, and hurriedly went upstairs to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.

Kotegawa glanced down at the newspaper and casually said to the big white cat beside him, "Good morning."

The big white cat meowed in response.

Youjia woke up a little late today, and there were many people at home, so the morning was a complete mess. Washing up, getting dressed, eating, packing her schoolbag... everything piled up at once. And what's more, the stroller at the kindergarten where Xiaomao goes broke down, so they couldn't pick her up and had to take her to school.

Kotegawa had no choice but to drive, stopping and starting along the way. He first dropped his friends off at the gate of Kano Academy, and then stepped on the gas to go to the kitten's kindergarten.

Kindergarten doesn't have fixed class times; the teachers mostly just play with the children anyway.

This morning was a bit busy, but Kotegawa went home first to park his car, then turned into a cloud and arrived at school in the blink of an eye. He stepped into the teaching building, but just as he was about to change his shoes, he bumped into Fujiwara-sensei, who had his hands behind his back but was not carrying any textbooks.

Fujiwara-sensei stopped in her tracks, her voice slightly raised: "Why has your phone been off all this time! I even had to ask someone to pay your phone bill!"

Kotegawa exclaimed in surprise, "Are you looking for me? There's no signal in the places I've been to recently, so my phone can't be used. In some places, the environment is so bad that I can't even turn it on, so I've just left it in my bag."

Ms. Fujiwara shook her head and said in a shrill voice, "Alright, stop changing your shoes, come with me..."

"Oh, okay." Kotegawa didn't hesitate and watched him change his shoes.

The school bell rang, and several supervising teachers came to the door to stop the late students.

He looked around, then followed Fujiwara-sensei out of the teaching building.

"Have you run into some trouble?" he asked softly.

“Yes, it’s quite troublesome…” Fujiwara-sensei frowned slightly, glanced at him and said, “There have been supernatural events at the school again.”

Kotegawa was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Is this another trick from the Ghost Stories Club? Huh? Has that club been rebuilt?"

The Ghost Stories Club has been causing trouble one after another, and last time it almost caused a major disaster, even forcing Yuka to go to the land of ghosts. At that time, the school expelled many people, and the Ghost Stories Club was directly canceled.

“It’s not the ghost story club, it’s two students…” Fujiwara-sensei frowned. “You know about the commotion during PE class the day before yesterday, right? I don’t know what frightened them, but one student went crazy and the other is hiding at home and refuses to go out anymore. This happened at school, so the school has an unshirkable responsibility.”

“Oh…” Kotegawa thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t think it through.”

"You?" Fujiwara-sensei was slightly taken aback, then said, "I couldn't find you. I had made an appointment with Ishikawa, but you're back just in time. In that case, let's go see him together."
