In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"I've contacted Longhushan regarding your and your sister's disappearance. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the embassy, and they'll send you home."

"Then, what about my sister?"

"..."

"Sister, I want to go back to Tushan with you! I, I can't go back alone!"

"If you're discovered in this country, you'll be killed immediately," Ouyang Xuan said. "According to the 99 Agreement, even if you, the demon race, enter another country and are skinned for fur, your family can't say anything because you violated the agreement and entered another country."

"But, but I was caught here, and I didn't want to be here. I just want to go home with my sister."

"This is human territory, not the place to reason with you."

"Ouyang..." Yang Nai looked at Rongrong, who looked like she had lost her soul, and felt a little bit sorry for her.

"As long as I don't get discovered, that's all I need, right?!" Rongrong wiped away her tears of fear and cowardice. "As long as no one finds out I'm a monster from the mainland, I can stay here and look for my sister."

"When I was most scared, my sister always encouraged me. I can't abandon my sister! I want to take my sister home with me!"

"My sister and I were born from the great tree of bitterness. We are the next head of Tushan, and the entire Tushan belongs to us. If you can help me find my sister, I am willing to give you half of Tushan's treasures! And as long as it does not affect Tushan's foundation and will not make Tushan an enemy of the demon clan, Tushan is willing to do everything in its power to help you."

"As expected of a Tushan fox demon, renowned for its intelligence and wisdom among the demon race." Ouyang Falcon's opinion of this weak and helpless crybaby changed somewhat. "You've come up with a plan so quickly, and you can tell I'm from the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

"My strength isn't as strong as my two sisters'. My favorite place to go since I was a child has always been the library. I've read a lot of books, both human and demonic, and among them I've seen spells from various human sects. The talisman you drew on my back is from the Tianshi Mansion, used to bind demonic power. Only disciples of the Tianshi Mansion can learn this kind of magic."

"I promise." Ouyang Falcon stood up. "Whether it's your identity in the island nation or your sister, I can handle it for you. But you must remember your promise."

"The Tushan clan values friendship and loyalty, and will never break their promises." Rongrong's face was tense, and she tried hard to make herself look mature and trustworthy.

"If you're worried, I can cast a blood curse!"

"No need. Yang Nai doesn't like to see those bloody scenes. I also have a connection with your Tushan. I believe you this time."

All the food bought by 2B went into Rongrong's stomach. After Ouyang Xuan and the others got off the plane, they went straight back to the apartment. They didn't have time to eat, and now they were too lazy to go out. Ouyang Xuan called 2B into the kitchen, and the two of them worked together to cook instant noodles.

“How terrifying!”

As soon as Ouyang Xuan left, Rongrong's forced strong appearance collapsed in an instant, and she huddled up in fear. It was the first time for her to negotiate terms like this, and the other party was someone who was many times stronger than herself. It was impossible for Rongrong to say that she was not afraid.

Because, for my sister, I have to be strong! Now there is no time for me to be like before.

Rongrong made up her mind hesitantly and waved her fists to cheer herself up. Now that her sister was nowhere to be found, Rongrong had to make herself strong and learn to use wisdom to survive in this strange human country.

So cute! Children who force themselves to work hard are so adorable.

Yang Nai witnessed the whole process of Rongrong's transformation from a little crybaby to a pseudo-little adult, and knew clearly that Rongrong was still the little crybaby at heart.

Chapter 2 Sukabulie

"Master Sheng is receiving Master Ou inside. You guys should keep a close eye on this place. Not even a fox is allowed in."

In a shrine in Tokyo, an old shrine maiden was lecturing a group of warrior shrine maidens holding naginatas and bows and arrows. After she finished speaking, she gave Rongrong and 2B a vicious look not far away.

2B, in a black dress, was clearly distinguished from the group of war shrine maidens in pure white shrine costumes. At 2B's feet, Rongrong, in yellow clothes, would occasionally peek out from behind 2B's thighs to glance at the war shrine maidens who were looking at her with a tense look.

Like those war priestesses holding weapons, 2B also held the White Contract in her hand. However, unlike the war priestesses who had rich expressions and looked at this side vigilantly, 2B just stood there with a knife in one hand, her expression as cold as ever, and most of her face was covered by the mask. Experienced war priestesses could still detect from this that 2B was looking for flaws in the eyes she was looking for so that she could deal with them as quickly as possible in the event of a fight.

Since we have to find someone in this city, we definitely can't hide secretly. We have to prepare a public identity for this little fox demon.

After Ouyang Xuan said this, he took 2B and Rongrong out. At night, they arrived at the shrine. At first, Rongrong's demonic aura and power were sealed by Ouyang Xuan's magic, but when Rongrong walked into the back of the shrine and saw the real torii gate of the shrine, the bells hanging on the torii gate began to shake wildly as if they were electrified, and the sound could be heard three miles away.

What happened next happened naturally. The war priestesses, who thought that the demons were attacking, picked up the weapons at hand, naginata, bows and arrows, chains, and blow darts, and rushed to the torii with murderous intent.

It was as if the nine tribes of Sukabulie were wholesalers, and they actually dared to come to the shrine of one of the administrative agencies in the east of the world in the island country to cause trouble.

Fortunately, no fight broke out in the end. When Ouyang Xuan pulled out his pistol, Kikyo, the shrine maiden known as the Saint, arrived at the scene. Then the group was welcomed into the shrine. Ouyang Xuan and Kikyo went into the room to discuss matters, while Rongrong and 2B were left outside with the group of fighting shrine maidens.

"How can you not see through that woman?"

"Yes, she looks so young, but her movements are so natural, there's absolutely no flaw to be seen."

"Hmm, and she's wearing a mask. Is she one of those Onmyoji who gave up their eyes to improve their sensory abilities? Are there still practitioners of the Great Dark Sky in modern times?"

"Sister 2B, if a fight breaks out soon, don't worry about me. You must protect yourself." Rongrong said worriedly. In her opinion, if a fight breaks out in the room soon, a fight will also break out outside in an instant. She, who has no fighting ability, will undoubtedly become a burden to 2B.

"I will," 2B said. "My master told me to keep an eye on you while he's gone. Firstly, to keep an eye on you, and secondly, to protect you."

"There will be a fight soon. You just need to hide behind me and don't go anywhere. Anything here could be fatal to you."

"Hmm~"

Only very faint voices could be heard inside, and there was no sound outside. The only communication between the war priestesses was through eye contact. Although no one knew what the situation was inside, the atmosphere outside was so uncomfortable that it made people feel suffocated. 2B was a android and did not have that feeling. Rongrong felt that the air around her had become solidified.

"So many people are here to welcome me, the God of Monster Wisdom?" A girl in a white dress and beret walked in, looking at the large group with a look of surprise. "I didn't expect that the Saint would welcome me so grandly. I'm really flattered."

"Then Ouyang, who entrusted me to come here, should be in the room with our Saint Lady, Miss Kikyo, having a heated conversation about the lovely Miss Fox. He started the conversation without me, a key figure, even here. This man who made me fall in love at first sight really doesn't understand romance. He's not even willing to wait for a lady."

"Instead of talking here, Master Iwanaga, why don't you just go into the room?" The old miko walked out from behind Iwanaga Kotoko. "Master Sheng has already instructed that if Master Iwanaga comes to the shrine, you should just go into the room without announcing anything."

"Okay," Kotoko replied perfunctorily. She walked over to 2B and squatted down. "Are you the one I'm working for this time?"

"Hello, I am the God of Wisdom of the island monsters, Iwanaga Kotoko. You can call me Kotoko or Princess, that's what they all call me."

"Tushan Rongrong..."

Rongrong glanced at Qinzi who was squatting down, then plucked up the courage to hold Qinzi's hand.

"Rongrong, huh?" Qinzi patted Rongrong's head. "Since Ouyang and Miss Kikyo have been in there for so long and haven't come out yet, it's time for me, the God of Wisdom, to make an appearance. Even someone as powerful as Ouyang sometimes needs to rely on a God of Wisdom like me."

"2B, you have to work hard too." Kotoko turned to 2B, "I'm about to become Ouyang's second girlfriend, so you have to work hard too."

"Yeah..." 2B nodded silently.

"So—excuse me!"

Kotoko pulled the door open and only then did she shout "Excuse me" after opening it.

-

Back to earlier in the day, Ouyang Xuan and Kikyo sat face to face drinking tea.

"Lord Ou, do you think we're blind?" Kikyo put down the documents and said coldly, "The monsters from the mainland not only slaughtered an entire monster trafficking organization, but also killed several local monsters from west to east. Their goal is to reach the east and find their sister who was captured and brought to the island nation with them."

"This news was already on my desk at noon today. Now Lord Ou tells me that this fox demon's sister is a native demon from the island nation and wants us to issue her a certificate to stay in human society. Isn't that a bit disdainful of me?"

"Violating the agreement and entering another country, slaughtering humans, and killing local monsters is a serious crime punishable by death, whether on the mainland or on the island. If it weren't for the fact that Master Ou had sealed her demonic power and aura, the disciples of my shrine would have dealt with her directly upon discovering her."

"She's my familiar. I just tamed a fox demon in Okinawa." Ouyang Falcon said, "Although she looks like a demon species from the mainland, she should be from your island country."

"Master Ou, in this entire world, only Tushan in your continent has the Fold-Eared Demon Fox. I don't need to tell you about this, do I?"

"As one of the administrative agencies for the eastern side of the island nation, our shrine has no choice but to kill all foreign monsters like this." Kikyo picked up the teapot and filled the cup in front of Ouyang Falcon with tea. Kikyo was very skilled in tea, and the tea would overflow if there was even a drop more. "Now that the little fox demon is under the management of Lord Ou, we can ignore her for the time being. Lord Ou just needs to send her away within a month."

"As for the giant fox demon that has committed serious crimes in the island nation, please rest assured, Lord Ou, and leave it to us to handle." Kikyo put down the teapot and continued, "If Lord Ou needs it, we can also return the giant fox demon to the mainland after it is dealt with."

"Return it? Are you going to give me the specimen or the fur?"

Ouyang Xuan's hands were very steady. He picked up the cup of tea that was filled with Platycodon grandiflorum, put it to his mouth and took a small sip. Not a drop of tea spilled out during the whole process.

"According to your island nation, if the tea leaves stand upright, good things are going to happen. It seems like I'll definitely be able to bring back some good news this time."

"Also, Miss Kikyo, I need to remind you." Ouyang Xuan's voice, which was already devoid of emotion, became even colder. "I'm just here to inform you that these two fox demons are from the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion. Now that she's caused trouble, it should naturally be handed over to the Tianshi Mansion to handle. I hope you will be more considerate when doing things. It would be bad if you turned social etiquette into social accidents."

After the second exchange conference, not only were the island countries in the surface world castrated several times, but the island countries in the inner world were also castrated several times. The four major countries all had stationed personnel in the island countries. These personnel ranged from a single person like Ouyang Xuan to a group like Amei. However, the number of people did not affect these stationed personnel, and they enjoyed some small privileges in the local area.

Ouyang Xuan has been exorcising demons on the mainland for several years. During this process, in addition to dealing with monsters, various local tyrants are also troubles that Ouyang Xuan needs to deal with when doing his work. Most of them can be suppressed by just mentioning the name of Tianshi Mansion, and a small number of them need to be chatted with like this.

Fight? Are you planning to fight with a group of Tianshifu disciples who are ready to physically incarnate you at any time?

Ouyang Xuan's purpose this time was very simple. He wanted to tell these people in the east to hand over the power to deal with Honghong's matter to Ouyang Xuan, the current agent of Tianshi Mansion in the island country, and then prepare a legal ID card for Rongrong who needed to stay in the island country for a period of time.

"It's better not to trouble Lord Ou. Although the world in the island nation is divided, the foundation is still there. It's not so difficult to capture a mere fox demon." Kikyo chose to take a step back. "However, since this fox demon belongs to the Tianshi Mansion, after she is captured, she will still be handed over to the Tianshi Mansion for handling."

"When that time comes, I will inform Master Ou again."

"As for my sister's little fox demon, I believe she's safer staying with Lord Ou than anywhere else on the island. This is something that even ten proofs wouldn't be enough to prove."

"I don't want to take the baby with me. She can go wherever she wants as long as she has a certificate. Yan Yongbu asked you to get one last time, so just get me one this time."

Honghong can be handed over to the Tianshi Mansion alive after being caught, but Rongrong's legal identity certificate cannot be used.

It was originally issued to monsters, allowing them to stay in human society safely and legally, without being hunted down by various Onmyojis and exorcists, and to hide in the deep mountains and forests. Even for the local monsters in the island country, it is an extremely precious existence. Monsters who want to obtain this certificate not only need to have strong strength or functions, and be able to do private work for people in the inner world and work for humans in the surface world, but also need to be harmless enough, and never change hands even if they are beaten by ordinary humans with a bloody head.

There are only about a hundred of these certificates issued each year in the East and the West. Each one is extremely important and is an important means for human society to win over some monsters. As long as you work hard for human society, you will be able to get the certificate one day. It is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, tempting and driving those monsters hiding in the corners of human society.

"Since its inception, this certificate has only been issued to local monsters, never to foreign monsters. I cannot set this precedent." Kikyo shook her head and said, "The monster that Iwanaga-sama handled last time was a local monster in Chiba, but that fox monster is from abroad, so they are different."

"Why not just make a special exception?" Ouyang Falcon thought this matter could be treated as a special one. "It's just one or two certificates. It won't have much impact on your control over those monsters."

"If we want to make an exception, we need to hold a meeting with both the East and West sides."

"Besides, Lord Ou has good relationships with people in the west, so it should go smoothly. We can hold a special meeting to issue certificates for the two monsters."

After seeing that she had brought out her identity as a resident commissioner, Kikyo knew that she couldn't just drive Ouyang Falcon away. Ouyang Falcon was determined to intervene in this incident where the mainland fox demon was causing trouble in the island nation's demon world. The eastern side was a mess and there was no big sister like the Hakurei Shrine, so Kikyo could only change her tactics.

"how long it takes?"

"About three years." Kikyo said calmly, "If we discuss the results, we can probably get a result within ten years, but as for the implementation, I'm not sure."

"After all, even the current Yokai Safety Certification System was only officially implemented in 45 after much debate from 99. However, it was only a special case of issuing certificates for two Yokai. I estimate that a result will be available within about years."

Five minutes ago, Ouyang Jun actually didn't quite understand why Reimu had such a strong aversion to meetings. He just thought they were a little boring, and there were only a few meetings a year anyway, so he could just endure it.

Now, Ouyang Xuan understood why Reimu hated meetings so much. In a place where it took fifty years to issue identity cards to monsters living in human society, it was indeed uncomfortable to hold meetings.

"excuse me!"

While Ouyang Xuan was still digesting the time given by Kikyo, the door was opened.

Chapter 3 Fictional Reasoning

Kotoko opened the door and didn't have to close it herself after she walked in. The old shrine maiden following behind her closed the door for her.

"Good evening, Lord Saint and Miss Kikyo." Kotoko politely took off her hat and greeted them. Then, her pair of small feet wrapped in translucent white silk walked briskly to Ouyang Xuan's side.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, Ouyang. Could you tell me where you've made some progress?"

There was nothing that needed a long description, so Ouyang Xuan finished it in just a few words.

"Oh, isn't this a coincidence?"

After listening to Ouyang Xuan's description, Qinzi clapped her hands, indicating that it was no big deal.

"Hasn't this solved the problem?"

"Ms. Iwanaga, I need to remind you that even if I agree to issue a certificate to that foreign monster, others will not agree. We need to hold a meeting to discuss this."

"Sir, why bother?" Kotoko acted remarkably relaxed in front of this Saint Miko, who was not much older than herself. "The point we were discussing was untenable from the beginning. Miss Tushan Rongrong is a legitimate island youkai."

"Miss Iwanaga, if you're trying to fool me like Lord Ou did, then there's no need for that," Kikyo interrupted Kotoko. "Due to Lord Ou's unique nature, we can entrust the task of finding and capturing that great fox demon to him. However, we can't so easily break the rules and issue a certificate certifying that our own monsters are harmless and beneficial to human society to a foreign fox demon."

"No, no, no, Master Saint, you misunderstood." Qinzi waved her hand, "I'm not talking nonsense."

"You are aware of my current identity, Master Saint," Kotoko said, proudly stroking her plain chest. "I am the God of Wisdom among the monsters. I am responsible for helping every monster who strives to integrate into human society. Now, a lonely monster who was kidnapped from Okinawa and brought to Tokyo needs a legal identity. How can I, the God of Wisdom, stand by and watch?"

"Oh, then please let me listen attentively." Kikyo looked at the confident Kotoko and felt a little doubtful.

"Cough cough."

Qinzi was not in a hurry to speak. She clenched her fist to her mouth and coughed a few times, then winked at Ouyang Xuan on the side. Seeing that Ouyang Xuan did not respond, Qinzi glared at him angrily with her only real eye, and then drank the hot tea handed to her by Ouyang Xuan himself, even though there was a cup of tea poured for her by Kikyo in front of her.

"May I ask where the information that Your Excellency believes Tushan Rongrong is a foreign monster came from? Did it come from the west?"

"He is a spy planted in the west by us from the east." Kikyo answered truthfully.

"So what's the information about the west?"

"Don't beat around the bush, Ms. Iwanaga. Just state your conclusion directly."

"Since it's the Saint's request," Qinzi said without beating around the bush. "The monster Tushan Rongrong is from the mainland. This information was obtained from a monster trafficking organization that was wiped out by the escaped giant fox demon. And we didn't learn it from people, but from records and account books."

"As for whether they are actually from the mainland, to be precise, we haven't even verified this intelligence, which should be the cornerstone of our discussion. We are simply discussing the possibility that they are from the mainland."

"Ms. Iwanaga, do you also think that those two monsters are local monsters of our island country?" Kikyo has seen the ability of this god of wisdom to make fictional inferences.

"That's not what I think." Kotoko didn't lie. "It's just that a while ago, a small fox demon family in Okinawa made a request to me."

"They are just a small clan of only a dozen or so monsters. Even in Okinawa, where the number of monsters and humans is less than that of Tokyo, they are quite insignificant. It's normal that the Saint doesn't know about them. However, there are files and information about them in the archives of the Hakurei Shrine."

"Three days ago, their head patriarch contacted me through the monster channel, hoping I could help find two family members who were abducted by a monster trafficking organization. I was still conducting preliminary information investigations and reviewing the information they sent from Okinawa these past two days, and then I received a message from Ouyang saying that the person, oh, the monster, had been found."

"As expected, you're the one I fell in love with at first sight. You're so—reliable!"
