The sudden request left Zhoufang Youxi in a daze.
Although going abroad wasn't particularly rare, not being notified in advance was too sudden.
Moreover, all of the Suo Fang family's public affairs were meticulously arranged.
Sending her abroad was clearly abnormal.
What's more, it was a request personally made by her grandfather?
The girl, realizing that there might be a problem at home, became anxious.
She looked at Rosen apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Rosen, something urgent has come up at home, I might have to go back."
"I heard it all. But since it's urgent, I'll give you a ride."
After speaking, Rosen instructed Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana to stay and guard the house, then he used Godspeed to take Zhoufang Youxi and Jun Dao Ling Nai away.
According to the address Zhoufang Youxi provided, they arrived at the Suo Fang family's mansion the next second.
"It seems I guessed correctly. Something has already come knocking."
The reason it wasn't "someone" but "something" was because Rosen detected a trace of ominous aura left behind in the place.
Judging from the fox mark branded on Zhoufang Youxi, the newcomers were clearly presences from Three Fox Valley Shrine.
"But... why is this?"
Zhoufang Youxi asked in confusion.
"If they were looking for someone, they should have looked for me first."
"Perhaps it's because the mark was erased. They couldn't find your location, so they could only come looking for the person who 'blessed' you."
Rosen said with a light chuckle.
"Blessing... this is clearly a death-hastening blessing."
The girl grumbled, but quickly worried about her family's situation again.
Then, an aged and hoarse voice was heard.
Zhoufang Yanqing, Zhoufang Youxi's grandfather, appeared at the entrance.
When the girl saw him, she showed a startled expression.
Because Zhoufang Yanqing was completely different from usual, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
"Grandpa, what's going on?!"
"Youxi! Why are you back? Didn't I already send someone to pick you up at the airport to go abroad?!"
To protect his granddaughter, the only heir of the Suo Fang family, he had arranged for Youxi to go abroad and also prepared his will, now just waiting for a private lawyer to come for notarization.
"Grandpa, so what exactly happened? Why send me abroad so suddenly? Is it as Lord Rosen said, those Fox Spirits have come knocking?"
At this moment, the girl no longer cared about manners or etiquette, and directly bombarded him with questions.
"How do you know about this? And... who is this man?"
Zhoufang Yanqing was very confused at this moment.
Did Zhoufang Youxi actually know about this?
Or had those Fox Spirits already found her?
"He is Lord Rosen, and also the Lord God whom I will need to worship and serve from now on."
If she used lies to cover up the truth, Zhoufang Yanqing would definitely see through it.
Therefore, without receiving a refusal from Rosen, Zhoufang Youxi confessed everything.
After understanding the cause and effect, Zhoufang Yanqing looked at Rosen in disbelief.
His first reaction was, could this guy be a charlatan?
His granddaughter loved second dimension things, and the internet always said otaku were easy to fool.
His second reaction was, if it was true,
This man was the reason why the Fox Spirits from Three Fox Valley Shrine had come with ill intentions.
Zhoufang Yanqing leaned towards the latter.
After all, on one hand, the two Fox Spirits claimed that Zhoufang Youxi had already signed a contract with someone else, violating the previous protection contract signed with the God. On the other hand, his granddaughter had conjured a Light Lance right before his eyes.
Seeing was believing, and Zhoufang Yanqing had to admit the reality.
Therefore, Zhoufang Yanqing could only confess everything from the beginning.
"I've harmed you, Youxi."
Originally, Zhoufang Yanqing expected to receive a disappointed look from his granddaughter, but Zhoufang Youxi only frowned and said, "So, to protect me, you wanted to send me abroad?"
"Lord Rosen, is this method feasible?"
"Generally speaking, it's very unreliable. Since the other party agreed to sign a contract with you, they must have considered the possibility of breach of contract. Even if you flee abroad, you will still be caught and brought back by them. This is absolutely unavoidable."
If one could truly gain three opportunities to be protected by a God by running away like this.
Then, such a profitable venture would not have allowed Three Fox Valley Shrine to be sealed away.
"It really won't work, will it?"
Zhoufang Youxi sighed.
"Besides, running away might lead to an even quicker death."
Zhoufang Yanqing also realized his mistake, but he had been completely flustered by the terror of the Fox Spirit at the time. After calming down and thinking it over, it was indeed true.
And so, he was completely out of options.
However, Zhoufang Youxi was not as flustered. A smile touched her lips, revealing a hint of amusement.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, have you forgotten that I've already signed a contract with Lord Rosen? I'm a transcendent now, too!"
"At worst, we still have Lord Rosen!"
Upon hearing this, Zhoufang Yanqing scrutinized the overly young Rosen.
A shadow on the ground indicated he was human.
As for the so-called contract with Youxi, he thought it was just a ruse, most likely with an ordinary psychic.
As for "Lord God," he didn't believe a single punctuation mark of it.
Such a young god, did he think it was the "Poverty God" from an anime who could be bought for five yen?
But the strongholds of those two Fox Spirits were different.
The master they worshipped was a being with a legitimate shrine.
And which deity who could receive incense offerings would be weak?
"Don't worry, Grandpa, Lord Rosen is very powerful!"
Zhoufang Youxi said helplessly.
However, she could also understand the distrust of outsiders, so she didn't explain too much. Instead, she directly spoke to Rosen: "Lord Rosen, things seem to be as you predicted. They did come looking for me, so... regarding this matter, can I handle it alone with my current strength?"
She felt her power again.
It was simply outrageous.
Compared to her past weak self, it was a world of difference.
This made her very confident.
"Minions are fine, but the undead enshrined in the shrine itself is not. However, consider this an opportunity for you all to gain experience. I'll bring Miko and Hana, and you can train together on how to fight a team battle."
Rosen said.
