Chapter 136
Volume Four: The Meteor Flying Backward: 310 A Ten-Year Appointment with Hu Zhai Gong
“You… are you a very powerful monster?” Li Xingshan asked cautiously.
“Of course,” the silver-haired woman said proudly with her hands on her hips, “Go and ask, who doesn’t know the name of my ‘Zhai Palace’.”
Following this action, a pair of fluffy snow-white fox ears also popped out of her hair in an instant.
Zhai Palace… Hu Zhai Palace?
It was actually the Huzhai Palace!
In the game’s plot, the fox demon who has the blood of Baichen and guards Mingshen Island, is also a powerful helper under the command of Lord Thor.
However, she was engulfed in the “calamity” that swept the Ina wife five hundred years ago.
In other words, the current time, at least five hundred years ago in real time!
It seems that he noticed that Li Xingshan looked different, Hu Zhai Gong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Why, don’t you believe me?”
“I… I believe you…” Li Xingshan nodded and said, “Because, my elder sister is very beautiful.”
Although Li Xingshan’s information about Hu Zhai Palace is not accurate, there is only one thing that can be assured: she is definitely not a bad person.
“The more beautiful elder sister, the more deceitful you are,” Hu Zhai Gong smiled slyly and said, “If one day you find out that you have been deceived by me, don’t cry.”
“If I was deceived by my elder sister…” Li Xingshan murmured, “I am willing.”
Hearing this, Hu Zhai Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: “Then, do you want to play a game with my sister?”
“Okay!” Li Xingshan replied without hesitation, “What game?”
“I will appear here every summer festival in the future,” Hu Zhaigong smiled and said, “If you can find me every year, after ten years, I can grant you a wish.”
For human beings, ten years is not short, but for Baichen’s blood, it is just a flick of a finger.
“Then it’s settled.” Li Xingshan stretched out his little thumb towards Hu Zhai Palace: “Tractor.”
“Pull the hook!” Hu Zhai Gong lifted Li Xingshan’s little finger, squinted and smiled, “Those who lie will eat a thousand fox feathers.”
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, gorgeous fireworks flew into the sky like meteors flying backwards, lighting up the sleeping night.
“Come on, let’s go play!” Hu Zhai Gong took Li Xingshan’s hand and said with a smile, “I’ll take you home after it’s over.”
The little boy, on that summer night, felt his heart beat with a different rhythm for the first time.
The fox girl’s smile, combined with the fireworks that night, became his unforgettable memory.
When parting, Hu Zhai Palace specially made a delicate water polo, gave it to Li Xingshan, and agreed to meet again next year.

[Complete the task: enjoy the festival]
[Reward: Summer Festival Water Jade]
【Category: Set】
[Effect: (1/4) The effect of all defense skills is increased by 18%]
[The next day, when you wake up, you find yourself lying on the bed at home. Your father told you that you had so much fun at the festival yesterday that you fell asleep halfway through.]
[You thought that everything that happened before was just a dream, but the delicate water balloon that appeared in your arms proved that everything was real]
[From that day on, there was an extra woman in your heart. For you who are still young, it will naturally not be love, more, it will be a kind of longing and worship]
【Since you met Hu Zhai Palace, you can see the power of monsters, and you have awakened again, but this time, you didn’t tell anyone about it】
[You are afraid that your father will invite the witch to do things again, so that you can’t see the monsters. In that case, wouldn’t you be able to see the Huzhai Palace again? 】
[8 years old: Of course, the Huzhai Palace has not affected your real life. You are still the same as before, playing around with your friends during the day, and lying on the roof with Kyoko to count the stars at night]
[It’s just that sometimes, you will stare silently at a water balloon in an unknown corner in a daze. Also, I look forward to the festival site coming again every day]
[Finally, the festival in midsummer is held again. I don’t know why, just like last year, Kyoko has a little health problem today]
[You thought it was just a coincidence, so you didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, your mind was already focused on finding the Huzhai Palace]
[However, this game is not simple. It is very difficult to find a person in the dense crowd of summer festivals, let alone a cunning fox demon? 】
[You have circled the entire festival site three or four times. For an eight-year-old child, this has already exhausted you. Just when you thought that you were being deceived by Huzhai Palace, you were surprised. In the crowd, I saw a big white fluffy tail that was constantly waving]
It’s like a quest prompt that appears when the game doesn’t know how to proceed…
[You don’t say a word, you immediately stepped forward and grabbed the tail, and the owner of the tail is the Huzhai Palace that you have been thinking about at night! 】
[“Hey, I was caught by you.” Hu Zhaigong pinched your little cheeks and said with a smile, “What should I punish you for?”]
[“It’s clear that I caught you, why punish me?” Your cheeks bulge slightly because of anger]
[“Then…” Hu Zhai Gong picked you up on his own, blinked one eye and said, “I punish you to play with me all night!”]
[Like last year, you and Hu Zhai Palace spent another happy and happy festival night]
[9 years old: At this year’s festival, Huzhaigong has become a lost grandmother. You have to take her to find a “family” that does not exist, while hurriedly looking for Huzhaigong in the crowd]
[10 years old: You seem to have completely adapted to the celebration of monsters, and those monsters, for some reason, seem to like you very much and are willing to play with you]
[You are surrounded by some fox demon big sisters, and you have to accept their teasing. They ask you with a smirk, which of them do you like the most]
[What you don’t know is that Hu Zhai Gong is already standing behind you at this time, and while they are waiting to see your jokes, you say solemnly: “I like Sister Hu Zhai Gong the most!”]
[“It’s almost the same!” Hu Zhai Gong hugged from behind and said with a smile: “If you dare to say what others say, I can’t spare you, hee hee.”]
[However, what Hu Zhaigong doesn’t know is that your ability to perceive demon power has been improving with age, and you have already noticed her appearing behind you]
[Of course, even if she is not there, your answer will still not change]
Hu Zhai Palace is one of the protagonists of this simulator
In addition, there are certain discrepancies between the plot of the simulator and the original plot (to be precise, each simulator has a discrepancy==)
Volume Four: The Meteor Flying Backward: 311 The Reward of Sister Xiaoying
[11 years old: You find that your ability to perceive monsters is getting stronger and stronger. You heard the old man in the village say that only people with strong spiritual power can see monsters, and monsters also like to eat the flesh and blood of people with strong spiritual power]
[However, the monsters you saw did not have any malice towards you. Sometimes, you can even see the friends you made during the festival and play games with them]
[The fact that your identity is human has long been no longer a secret. But maybe it’s because of the reason why Hu Zhaigong is standing behind, no monster dares to do anything to you]
[Unfortunately, you have never met Hu Zhai Palace at a time and place other than the festival. The once-a-year meeting is happy, but for a child, waiting is always a torment.]
[Fortunately, you have other friends, as well as Kyoko. Even if you are still a child, you know in your heart that Hu Zhai Palace is just a distant dream, and the little girl around you is the one worthy of your true emotions]
[Before this year’s festival, you visited Kyoko. Although she is unwell every year today, you still bring her different gifts every time to make her happy]
[This festival, Hu Zhai Palace actually brought another person for the first time, that is a beautiful girl about the same age as you, named “Xiao Xiang”]
[Different from Hu Zhai Gong, Xiao Xiang’s character is quite mean, and he is very competitive. Your game competition with her will end in failure]
[Of course, you don’t care about this, all your thoughts are still on Hu Zhai Gong, you even start to think about what wish you want to make six years later]
[12 years old: For this year’s festival, Huzhai Palace brought Xiao Xiang together as usual. The little girl seems to be quite proud, showing you the witch magic she learned from Huzhai Palace]
[I don’t know why, those so-called “spells” seem very simple in your eyes, you don’t even need to think about it, you can understand the mystery]
[So, in Xiao Xiang’s surprised eyes, you successfully cast the spell she learned in a month. This makes Xiao Xiang, who has always been competitive, quite a blow, and Hu Zhai Gong seems to have discovered your special talent]
[Not only did she not get angry because you “stealed” the spell she gave to Xiao Xiang, but she admired your talent and promised you that she could teach you a spell every year during the festival. Of course, these spells, Absolutely cannot be cast in front of people]
[However, this is the only time you have deceived Hu Zhai Palace. After returning home, in order to make Kyoko who was unable to participate in the summer festival happy, you showed the spell you learned in front of her, and watched the little girl giggled happily. You seem to have already thought of the prototype of the promised wish in the future]
[13 years old: At this year’s monster festival, a group of troublesome raccoons came, led by a fat civet cat named “Wubaizang”, and challenged the Huzhai Palace]
[However, the fat civet cat seemed to be stupid. Huzhaigong did not fight the battle himself, but asked you to deal with it instead. You fought Wubaizang, but you won easily with the spells that Huzhaigong taught you.]
[Unexpectedly, Wubaizang was still unconvinced even after he lost, so Huzhaigong made a bet with him that he could not steal Lord Thor’s Mingcao]
[Singing grass is a cherished plant that only grows in the residence of General Thunder and Lightning, and is a symbol of the status of His Royal Highness. Even you know this, and it is naturally impossible to steal it.]
[However, Wubaizang actually took this bet]
[You don’t know what the outcome of this bet is, but a few months later, a thunder sounded, and in the afternoon of the torrential rain, you found a purple grass flower that you have never seen before in the field. faintly shaking]
[14 years old: At the beginning of the year, your mother died of a serious illness. You have been staying in front of her bed. In a trance, you seem to see vague shadows floating around your mother. You want to drive them away, but no effect]
[Fortunately, Kyoko has always been by your side, she is not just a new wife to you, she is already a real relative]
[This year’s festival, you lost your laughter, Hu Zhai Palace didn’t tease you, but sat quietly beside you, listening to your sorrow and nostalgia]
[You threw yourself into the arms of Huzhai Palace and cried silently, asking her if she could redeem her wish in advance and resurrect her mother. Hu Zhai Palace tells you that the only thing she can’t do is to bring her back to life.]
[You can’t help thinking that for Huzhaigong, your life should only be fleeting. When he dies, will Huzhaigong cry for himself? 】
[15 years old: This year’s Huzhai Palace did not bring Xiao Xiang, but brought a woman I had never seen before]
[That is a purple-haired woman with braids, with a beauty comparable to that of Hu Zhai Palace. The strange thing is that you did not feel the breath of the demon clan on her body]
[Although the purple-haired woman is extremely beautiful, her expression is very indifferent, which forms a strong contrast with Hu Zhai Gong, who always has a smile on her face]
[Huzhaigong tells you that the purple-haired woman is her friend named “Xiaoying”. She lost her relatives not long ago. I hope you can help and make her smile during this festival]
[You are naturally very familiar with this kind of bereavement, so you agreed immediately. That night, the three of you played a lot of games together, fishing for goldfish and shooting darts. The uncontrollable nervous expression on his face successfully made Xiaoying laugh]
[Xiaoying tells you that when you become an adult, you can ask Huzhai Palace to introduce her and go to Daowi City to find her, and she will give you the reward you deserve. You thought it was just a joke, so you agreed casually]
[16 years old: The death of your mother makes you have to share more work for your father. Fortunately, you are already a strong young man. Even the neighboring villages have girls who have expressed their affection for you, but for you, your future wife , there are already candidates]
[That is Kyoko, she started to appear more and more beautiful. Although it is not comparable to the unparalleled Master Hu Zhai Gong, it is much better than that arrogant Xiao Xing.]
[Kyoko’s father has long regarded you as his future son-in-law. He often told your father that he would marry you next year. Your father sighed with emotion, it would be great if his wife could die later and watch you get married.]
[In your place, it is not too early to get married at this age, not to mention, it is not too late to think about getting married first and having children later.]
Volume Four: The Meteor Flying Backward
[Above the ceremony, you told Hu Zhai Gong about your upcoming marriage. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately sent you a blessing]
[Unfortunately, Kyoko does not have such a powerful spiritual power as you, otherwise, you would also like to bring her to this monster festival and meet these strange and interesting friends]
[Hu Zhai Gong told you that it will give you a “wedding gift” in advance, of course, it is not a wish, a gift between friends]
[This gift is very mysterious. Hu Zhai Gong tied your eyes with cloth strips, and took your hand to move forward slowly. You seem to have walked for a long time, but it seems that you haven’t taken a few steps]
[When the cloth strip on your face is taken off, you find that you are already in a hot spring, the mist is lingering, and the spring water shows the color of jasper]
[And Huzhai Palace, sitting next to you, bathing in the hot spring together, you can’t help but blushing, she seems to have forgotten that you are no longer the ignorant seven-year-old boy back then]
【Entering somatosensory mode】
Sure enough, it’s time for the system to issue free benefits again.
In the dense fog, Li Xingshan could not clearly see the appearance of the people around him, but even so, this vague appearance was even more touching.
Her appearance was exactly the same as when she first met nine years ago. Time seemed to have forgotten her, leaving no traces on her.
The Huzhai Palace didn’t seem to notice Li Xingshan’s abnormality. Instead, he introduced: “This is the “Baichen Spring”. Since ancient times, only the blood of Baichen can bathe in this way. Those who bathe in this spring water can prolong life and enhance physical fitness. .”
[Get the talent reward “Blessing of Bai Chen”]
[Effect: Lifespan increases, you can use some spells and skills that can only be mastered by Baichen’s bloodline]
This gift is indeed very special, but even without those “additional effects”, just being able to bathe with Hu Zhai Palace is already a supreme gift.
However, even if Hu Zhai Palace was unprepared at this time, Li Xingshan didn’t have any arrogant thoughts in his heart. Not only because he already has a fiancée, but also because the Hu Zhai Palace has always been sacred and inviolable in his heart.
Of course, Li Xingshan didn’t dare to have any ideas, this Huzhai Palace, but the eight-fold gods admired the seniors who are very good, if he had any unreasonable thoughts, he would definitely die ugly.
But I have to say that soaking in this hot spring is indeed very comfortable. The warm spring water seems to penetrate into the skin, washing away all the dust and dirt from the body.
“By the way,” Hu Zhai Palace suddenly smiled and said, “The Spring of Baichen is said to be formed by the saliva of King Baichen Fox.”
“Huh?” Li Xingshan was immediately taken aback.
Was it in the saliva?
“Just kidding, hee hee.” Hu Zhaigong blinked and said, “You, you’re still as uncomplicated as you were when you were young, and you’re astonished.”
“I… I’m no longer a child.” Li Xingshan said with some dissatisfaction, “I’m going to get married next year.”
“However, in my eyes, you will always be a child,” Hu Zhaigong said with a smile covering his mouth, “I remember that you were lost with your parents at that time, and you were crying and calling your mother everywhere.”
Li Xingshan was embarrassed and angry when the embarrassing thing was brought up when he was a child, but he didn’t know how to refute it.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhai Palace was still fighting the fire, and saw that she gently poked Li Xingshan’s nose and smiled: “Little boy, do you know what to do after getting married? If you don’t know, elder sister I can teach you.”
“I…of course I know!”
