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

He shook his head, stopped talking, closed his eyes, and slowly regulated his breathing.

Seeing him like this, Corpse King Liuli slowly opened her eyes wide and clenched her fists.

Kotegawa's voice held a hint of coldness: "If you ruin the tent, you'll be carrying stones through the night!"

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly. Corpse King Liuli, who had been holding her breath for a while, finally wrapped the blanket around herself, lay down, rolled to the other side, curled up, and muttered, "I'll let it go tonight, but you have to find my shoes for me tomorrow!"

Outside, the night sky was still filled with torrential rain and thunder, but inside the tent, all was quiet. The Corpse King Liuli's eyelids began to droop, and her breathing became long and even.

Kotegawa then began to meditate.

……

The next morning, Kotegawa emerged from the tent, took a breath of the cool, fresh air, glanced at the misty forest in the distance, and then transformed into a cloud, heading in that direction.

The forest grows at the foot of a large mountain.

After searching along the mountainside for a long time through the forest, Furude River finally found the cave that the Corpse King Ruri had mentioned when she gave directions yesterday.

He revealed himself, looked at the cave entrance that was about three meters high, and the upward passage inside. He took out a long sword and stepped into it.

Just then, soft footsteps suddenly sounded from inside.

He paused, turned around and took a few steps back, quietly dispelling the nightmare.

A man of similar height, dressed in coarse cloth, but with a handsome appearance and captivating eyes, emerged from the cave. He first looked up at the sky, stretched, smiled, and then turned to call out, "Qianzi, the sky is clear!"

Kotegawa, who was secretly observing him, suddenly gleamed with a sharp light in his eyes.

This guy...

But then, faint footsteps sounded again from inside the cave, and a young woman carrying a child came out.

Kotegawa temporarily suppressed his intention to reveal himself and secretly observed the situation.

The woman looked very young, only about twenty years old. She walked to the man's side with the child in her arms, looked up at the sky, and remained silent.

The man reached out and teased the child: "Little Flower Dance, grow up healthy..."

His voice suddenly became very long, and the figures of the three people twisted and disappeared in an instant.

Kotegawa revealed himself. He stood there for a while, his excitement gradually subsiding. He muttered to himself, "Was it my hallucination? No, it wasn't my hallucination."

If it were truly his hallucination, he couldn't possibly have imagined what Xia Mushuren looked like!

He looked into the cave, pondered for a moment, and then stepped inside.

Inside the cave, a staircase leads upwards, and the cave is filled with traces of excavation.

The scene I just saw at the cave entrance keeps popping up every now and then.

He looked around as he walked upwards, as if he were walking through a sea of ​​memories.

At the end of the steps stood a heavy, closed stone gate.

Kotegawa tried pushing the stone door, but it didn't budge. He focused his senses for a moment, then looked down at the longsword in his hand. After a slight hesitation, he shook his head and sheathed the sword. He took a deep look at the door, then turned into mist and disappeared. Two minutes later, he reappeared at the door, but unlike the first time, this time he had a Corpse King named Ruri rubbing his eyes on his back.

Corpse King Liuli yawned, frowned as she looked at the stone gate, and glanced sideways at Kotegawa.

Kotegawa took out a bottle of Yin Qi Pills and handed it to her, asking, "What's inside the door?"

Corpse King Liuli snatched it, twisting the lid as she said, "How would I know what's inside? Why don't you open the door and take a look?"

Kotegawa nodded, took a few steps back to make room, and pointed, saying, "Please."

"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't be so kind!" Corpse King Liuli scoffed, first popping a handful of Yin Qi Pills into her mouth, then screwing the caps on and putting them in her pocket. While chewing, she rolled up her sleeves, placed her small hand on the door, and began to push hard.

The entire door shook, and loose soil began to fall from the ceiling.

Kotegawa looked up.

The Corpse King Liuli suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, clenched her fist, and then slammed it into the stone door with a bang, smashing a hole in it. She pulled her small hand out and pried at the door from side to side, shaking it as she turned her head and said, "It's not that I can't push it open, it's a stone door that opens from both sides. If I force it open, it will definitely damage the things inside! You're so stingy, I don't want you to say that to me!"

Kotegawa watched her silently.

How come such a huge stone gate is treated like a toy in her hands?

"Hey!" The Corpse King Liuli, who seemed to have a lot of experience in opening doors, suddenly exerted her strength and started to pull at the door to the left with both hands.

The stone door rumbled and slowly moved open.

But when it was halfway moved, it seemed to get stuck on something, and the stone door became completely immovable again.

The Corpse King Liuli tried to pry it open twice, but couldn't budge it.

Kotegawa looked at the incision that had already been made, which was about a few centimeters long, and nodded slightly. This was good enough.

However, at this moment, the Corpse King Liuli took a deep breath, roared, raised her small foot, and kicked it directly. The heavy stone door instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of stones.

Then, she casually withdrew her foot, leaving not a single red mark on the instep.

Kotegawa stared blankly at the foot that could kick a stone door apart. What was so delicate about it?

Perhaps noticing that he kept staring at her feet, the Corpse King Liuli hid them slightly and urged him instead, "Hey, aren't you going in?"

Kotegawa snapped out of his reverie, smelled the dust in the air, grunted, and stepped inside.

Behind the stone gate was a space resembling a "living room," with wisps of light filtering through small holes, and no musty, rotten smell in the air.

Kotegawa looked at the wooden table and chairs placed against the wall, walked over, and glanced down. Three names were engraved on them: "Senko, Shujin, Hanamai."

He reached out and brushed his hand across the table, wiping away a thin layer of dust.

"It really wasn't my imagination! That man..." His eyes lit up, and he grinned.

After a long and arduous journey, we've finally found the answer!

Xia Mu Shuren, formerly the seventh divine messenger of Inari God, is indeed Hanamai's father.

"Hey, let's meet up." Corpse King Liuli suddenly called out to him.

Upon hearing this address, his face darkened again, and he turned his head to look at it.

The Corpse King Liuli seemed to be holding a ball of air in her hand, and pointed with her other finger, saying, "This guy seems to be the owner of the house. Are you looking for him?"

Hearing this, he was taken aback. He stepped over and looked at the air in the Corpse King Liuli's hand, trying to sense it, but it was still empty.

He glanced sideways at the Corpse King Liuli, and his opinion of her changed. What kind of eyes did this girl have? Could she see through all laws?

"Don't let go yet, but don't use too much force," he said, raising his hand and waving it around in the air a few times before frowning again.

There was nothing there...

The Corpse King Liuli looked back and forth, clicked her tongue and shook her head, then stretched out her other hand as if holding something, and suddenly pulled it.

A man, who was being held by the back of the neck, appeared as if he had been erased from thin air by an eraser.

A haggard but handsome face, peach blossom eyes, white hair at the temples... it was undoubtedly Xia Mushuren.

Kotegawa suddenly realized why he had just caught air.

Xia Mushuren, whose neck had been grabbed, looked utterly miserable. He had sensed something was wrong from the moment he heard the banging on the door, but what was even worse was that his usually proud hiding methods were completely useless against a little girl.

"Who...who are you people?!" he yelled, his voice carrying an inexplicable sinister undertone. "Let's talk this out! Whether it's robbery or sexual assault, we can discuss it!"

"Uh..." Kotegawa, who was about to speak, choked back a moment.

The Corpse King Liuli clicked her tongue in disgust, threw him to the ground, and wiped her hands on her clothes.

The old man immediately fled.

But countless frosts flew up, sealing off the entire surrounding area.

Kotegawa unleashed the overwhelming aura of a true king, suppressing him, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Xia Mushu was overwhelmed by the overwhelming aura, which was as powerful as mountains and rivers. Despair filled his eyes, and he said sadly, "I'm just a pathetic wretch! I lost my job, my wife and children, and all I do every day is wait to die! I'm already so miserable, why won't you let me go?"
