Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 177

Ren Qingyue was at a loss for words.

You really can't spare a single extra coin to buy another one, can you? This is what our sisterly bond has come to.

Blushing awkwardly, Ren Qingyue averted her gaze, fearing that Yan Zhao would hear her heart racing.

Yan Zhao, puzzled, wondered why her sister seemed dissatisfied with her response.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the bustling Fox Immortal Temple.

Huhou brought the three juniors to the temple to pray for blessings.

The ritual for praying to the Fox Immortal wasn't complicated. They used willow branches dipped in clear spring water to cleanse themselves, and then, according to Qingqiu's customs, they paid their respects to the Fox Immortal.

After introducing Ren Qingyue and Yan Zhao to the demon tribe's blessing customs, Huhou said, "You can make a wish when praying to the Fox Immortal. Our Fox Immortal is very effective."

Standing in front of the statue of the Fox Immortal, Yan Zhao thought for a moment, closed her eyes, and silently wished: I hope Sister likes me a bit more.

Upon exiting the temple, Yan Zhao saw many demons gathered by the riverbank.

On the water's surface, sparkling lanterns floated downstream.

Yan Zhao asked her sister, "What are they doing?"

Following her gaze, Ren Qingyue answered gently, "They're releasing lanterns."

Some cities in the human realm also have a tradition of releasing lanterns, letting the lit lanterns drift down the water, sending their thoughts and feelings far away. No matter how distant the ones they think of are, those feelings can still be felt.

After hearing this, Yan Zhao appeared thoughtful.

"Sister, I want to release a lantern too."

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingyue felt a pang in her heart.

Yan Zhao had indeed grown up; she understood what it meant to miss someone and even wanted to release a lantern for her master.

Seeing how well-behaved Yan Zhao was, Ren Qingyue had no reason to refuse. She immediately took out some spirit stones and went to buy a lantern.

Bai Jin wanted to join in the fun but was grabbed by Huhou, who ordered, "There are too many people; don't run off."

"..." Bai Jin huffed in annoyance.

Yan Zhao used a fire spell to light the wick of the lantern, and Ren Qingyue accompanied her to place it in the water.

Watching the lantern slowly drift away, Ren Qingyue felt curious and turned to ask Yan Zhao, "What did you just say to your master?"

"My mother?" Yan Zhao paused, then replied, "I didn't ask the lantern to send a message to my mother."

Ren Qingyue was taken aback. "Then who is the lantern for?"

"For Snowball," Yan Zhao said matter-of-factly. "I told it we're going back to the human realm soon, and to listen to A Yin's words because I'll come to pick it up quickly."

Ren Qingyue: "..."

Oh, she had completely forgotten about that.

Now, Yan Zhao was becoming more clingy and harder to fool.

When they returned to the human realm, how could she come up with a trustworthy reason to revert to her little fox form without Yan Zhao noticing?

Thinking of this, Ren Qingyue began to worry.
