Chapter 513: Jade Tail


    I didnt expect that wewould capture that little fox so easily. Her tail seemed to be her weakness. I reached and pinched her tail. The onlookers looked at us strangely, butI didnt caremuch about that.


    I asked her, Who are you? Why did you ambush us?


    The little girl looked at us pitifully. She foldedher earsand gave usan aggrieved look. I thought she didnt understand Chinese, so I took out my phone to call Xiao Gao toe down here to trante.


    However, the little girlsuddenlysaid, Mr. Huang asked me toe here to protect you guys.


    I was a little surprised. This little girl could speak Mandarin.Still, she was a fox spirit that could live for a long time. It wasnt strange that she could speak manynguages.


    Who is Mr. Huang? I have never heardofhim.


    What? You dont know him? If you dont believe me, ask your pockmark-faced friend.


    You mean Li Mazi? I spotted a w in her words. If you came to protectus, why did you cast your magic illusion on us?


    I didnt hurt you!The little girl shook her head.


    Is that so? We almostbecame crazyin your magic illusion. Be honest. Who is Mr. Huang? My voice grew cold.


    He He asked me to bring you guys to a ce. Youll know when you get there.


    I didntunderstand and turnedto Chuyi.Hefrowned and said, Shes fooling you.


    I turned and caughtasmirk on the girls face. Immediately, a stinky gas emitted from her lower body. It was like tear gas, andI couldnt even open my eyes. I covered my mouthand coughedhard.


    Herfluffytail slithered like a snake, and she gotaway from mygrasp. I was mad at myselffor being easily fooled bya little monster.


    Chuyi chased after the gind tried to stab hertwice, but the little girlmovedagilely. She jumped from the counter. Afterward, both of her legs hooked onto the chandelier, herbody danglingupside down. She swungand madea face.


    You fool! You fool!Haha!


    I angrily drew the Sirius Whipandshedat her. The little girl caught the whip. Then, she attemptedto pull me toward her.


    This little fox spiritwas too naive.The Sirius Whip was covered in spells that could exorcise ghosts and monsters. As soon as she caught it, she shrieked in pain. The whip left a burning streakinher palm.


    I withdrew the Sirius Whip thenshed again. The little girl jumped off the chandelierand dashedto the door, fleeing.


    I wanted to chase after her, but Chuyi stopped me. We dont know that fox spirits origin.We should becarefs we dont want to be trapped again. She didnt do anythingbesidesusing thatillusion, sowe shouldntattack recklessly. Itll be safer if we hold back for now.


    I nodded.I felt reallytired, soI decided toheadback to my room to rest.Suddenly, I got a call from Yin Xinyue. Brother Zhang, did youcatchthat little fox?


    No, I didnt. I felt strange, though. Yin Xinyue hadnt seen the girl,so how didshe know it was a little female fox?Something waswrong!


    Yin Xinyue soundedanxious. Go after her. She stole our passports!


    Did she steal anything else? I asked.


    No, but the four passportsaregone. She didnt steal money. Hurry,well be in bigtrouble if weloseourpassports!


    I sneered. Little fox, you want to fool me again? Youre not Yin Xinyue!


    After keepingsilent for around ten seconds,Yin Xinyuesaid,Brother Zhang, did you hit your head somewhere?


    Youdamnfox, did you steal my wifes phone?Did you fakeher voice to fool me again?Did you reallythink that I would buy it?Shehung up after I scolded her. I felt proud of my quick wits.


    Soon, Yin Xinyue came out of the other elevator booth. She lookedveryangry. In more than twenty years, itsthe first timesomehoughtthat Iwasnta human. And,youwere the one who did that to me! I feel hurt. Anyway, lookhere.


    She shoved her phone to my face. It was a photo she had just taken.Someone had usedabrush to write a line on the wall. It read, Little fox immortal Jade Tail visited here!


    She swiped to the second photo, which was our luggage. Except for our passports, it seemed nothing else was missing.


    Now, do you buy it? Yin Xinyue fumed.


    I was so stunned that I couldnt make a sound.I wished that the ground underneath would open up and swallow me whole.I tried to show off but ended up failing hard.


    IlookedatChuyi through the corner of my eye. The man looked as though he was smiling. Hey, are youughing at me?


    No, Im not. He pulled his cold face back againand wipedall the evidence.


    Why are you still standing there? Without passports, we cantgohome. I dont want to be an illegalimmigranthere! Yin Xinyue sounded mad.


    Anyway, itwasntas serious as she said. We could always go to the Embassy togetanother passport. However, wewould haveto showevidenceand the procedure was extremelyplicated.It was possible we hadto stay in Japan for a month.


    Chuyi said, Lets go before she goes too far.


    I answered helplessly,Yeah.


    After weleftthe hotel, Chuyi began to sniff along the street. I asked,Howcanyou smell the monster aura? I can see ghosts, but I cant sense monsters.


    He gave me a faint answer.You havent fully awakened.


    I didnt know how long we had walkedwhenwe saw the little girl sitting on a street light. She wasbing her tail.Itseemed she was waiting for us.


    I tried to call her.Miss Jade Tail, we dont haveagrudge. Please give back our passports.


    No.


    What do you want,after all?Willyou begentleenough to tell me? I said begrudgingly.


    I want you to stay hereandy with me! Then, she took out a passport from her pocketand toreit. I almost cried.


    Fortunately, sheonly torethe protectivecover of the passport. Then, she fanned the four passports in her hand as if they were poker cards, sniggering.Come catch me. If you can catch me, Ill give them back to you.


    She gently bounced fromonmp post to anotherwhilegiggling. We had to run after her on the street. I was irritated.


    Wewere always beingchased byzombiesand evil ghosts, and when we finally went on a nice trip to Japan to rest,thislittle fox was teasing us. I pledged to myself that I would make her into a nice fur!


    We ranthe entire way andgradually left the city. Kyotowasnt that big in the end.


    The road led us to a mountain nk with denseandbig trees. I had to stop and gasp for my breath. Jade Tail jumped onto a red, archway-like thing that looked like theChinese character . I remembered itwascalledtorii, whichwas usually the entrance toJapanese Shinto shrines.


    Jade Tail jumped above a series of torii and disappeared into the woods.


    Inadvertently, we were brought toashrine.A high and ancient structure stood in the night.Perhaps because it was leaning against the great mountain, it looked especiallyimposing.


    If Iwas correct,this should beafamous shrine in Kyoto. It was the Inari Shrine!


    Aswe were about to enter, a bamboo stick was suddenly ced at my throat. A young girl around twenty years old with aponytailstood before me. She was of medium height, and herattire looked like a Chinese Han suit. She woreitwith a loose, white coat apanied by a crimson skirt.Itwasthe typical attire ofaJapaneseshrine maiden.


    The bamboo stick was actually a broomstick. The girl looked at us with bright eyes. She looked hostile!
