Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken

Chapter 426 I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright!

"Cough cough..." Long Chuqing turned her head to look at the figure busy inside the house and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is it cleaning? Is this Little Fox's dust-removing spell?"

The room was filled with dust. Was this dust removal or just dust raising?

It would be better not to do it at all!

Don't end up wasting your time.

She shouldn't have gone to look out of curiosity; she ended up getting covered in dust.

Long Chuqing shook the dust off her skirt and then cast a cleaning spell on herself before feeling a bit refreshed.

"Bah!"

Feng Yu spat out the grass clippings that had inexplicably flown into her mouth and then cast a cleansing spell on herself before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

"According to what it just said, it was cleaning, but who would have thought it would start like this! I've really broadened my horizons."

She waved away the lingering dust in the air. "Look at the spectacle it was just now! Eight afterimages moved like flowing clouds, like a celestial maiden weaving brocade. Who would have thought that such a magnificent scene was just for dust removal!"

Feng Yu was utterly speechless. This was a result she hadn't expected at all. She had been looking forward to it, and she had even gotten so close to look at it.

Careless, careless.

"I thought I was going to see some amazing move that could summon wind and rain!" Fei Feng couldn't help but complain, "The key is that its effect... is really disappointing. It's better to just use a rag to wipe it! It's like hurting the enemy a thousand times while losing eight hundred of your own."

“It seems to be enjoying itself, full of energy.” Long Chuqing gestured, “Listen.”

A faint, indistinct humming drifted from inside the house, something like, "Tail dust removal is a great method, cleaning is wonderful, dust disappears in no time, feeling refreshed and happy, la la la..."

Three people: "..."

Feng Yu clicked her tongue: "I must say, it actually sounds quite catchy."

Fei Feng: "It seems it is quite satisfied with its performance."

The three exchanged a smile, indicating that they didn't understand but respected each other.

They found chairs and sat down in the yard, figuring they wouldn't go near the house again until Xiao Li finished her work.

Judging from how skilled and seemingly enjoying it, it must do this quite often.

The house isn't very big anyway, so let it figure it out on its own!

The little raccoon was indeed unaffected by the dust. It wagged its tail proudly, wiping here and sweeping there.

Finally, the fox used magic to condense the flying dust into a small ball of dirt, and the cleaning was completely finished.

Watching the dust and cobwebs disappear after her hard work, and the house return to its clean state, Xiao Li felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Although the process was a bit chaotic, the result met expectations, so it wasn't a complete waste of effort.

Little Fox ran out excitedly: "I'm all ready. Would you three sisters like to come in and have a look?"

"It's fine to sit outside." Long Chuqing beckoned to Xiao Li: "Are you thirsty after working so hard all day? Come and have a cup of tea."

This tea was packed up from a tea shop and brought back; it was still steaming hot when poured out of the thermos!

Upon hearing that it was flower tea from a teahouse, Xiao Li's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, I'm actually a bit thirsty." Little Fox took three steps at a time and strode towards the courtyard.

Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the courtyard gate.

Squeak!

The courtyard gate was pushed open a crack, and first a furtive head peeked in.

"Oh... it really is Ali! When did you get back?" A somewhat shrill and loud voice came from behind.

"Uncle Daman!" Xiaoli greeted him politely but somewhat distantly. "What can I do for you?"

Little Tanuki frowned slightly: Why is this Rat Daman here?

He must have seen me when I came back.

"I heard you were back, so I came all the way here to see you." Shu Daman pushed open the courtyard gate and squeezed in. "I haven't seen you in a while, I thought something had happened to you! Did you run into any trouble? Do you need my help?"

The newcomer was a gray-furred rat demon, slender and tall, wearing an ill-fitting gray robe.

Although he had transformed into human form, he still retained a few signature long, curly whiskers on his cheeks. Such obvious physical characteristics made it clear that he was a rat demon even without relying on demonic energy.

Xiao Li said calmly, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright!"

As he talked to Xiao Li, Shu Daman moved further inside, glancing at the three strangers sitting in the courtyard from time to time. His nostrils twitched slightly, trying to identify the three by their scent.

only……

He was slightly surprised, but his expression remained unchanged: How strange! He couldn't distinguish the auras of these three people. Could it be that his nose had malfunctioned today?

Something's not right! The little fox's scent hasn't changed, and I can still smell the tea on the table.

Could it be that the other party used the Illusionary Beauty Bead to conceal their presence?

That must be it; it's definitely not because his nose is malfunctioning.

Unable to ascertain the other party's identity, Rat Daman stopped caring about it.

While Shu Daman was sizing up the three of them, Long Chuqing and the other two were also sizing up Shu Daman.

The fact that Xiao Li calls him "uncle" indicates that he is also a villager in this village.

However, this guy's face clearly shows that he's the kind of person who's extremely cunning.

Ever since he came in, his small eyes have been darting around, looking here and there. Even though he tries to hide it, he can't conceal the shrewdness in his eyes.

"Oh, is this a guest?" Rat Daman walked over with his hands behind his back.

“It’s a new friend I met,” Xiaoli replied briefly.

"Friends! Hehe... I love making friends the most. It's fate that you came to our village. Since you're Little Fox's friend, you'll be my friend, Mouse Daman's friend too."

Shu Daman chuckled, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Little Tanuki secretly rolled her eyes: Who said you're friends with me!

Shu Daman didn't seem to care at all, showing no restraint whatsoever. He rubbed his hands together and looked at Long Chuqing and the other two.

"These three guests look unfamiliar. Are you not from around here? Which area are you from?"

Feng Yu put down her teacup and looked at Shu Daman: "We are indeed not from this area."

Shu Daman sat down in an empty chair quite naturally.

He rubbed his nose: "Not from this area, that explains why I don't remember them! As long as I, Rat Daman, have seen them, I can remember them all."

Rat Daman usually works as a lookout and errand boy for the gambling den, and also does some black market stalking and intelligence gathering.

He was also known in the village as a gossip, loved to join in the fun, and often wandered among the crowds, teahouses, and taverns to gather all sorts of information.

If the goat grandpa and turtle grandpa mentioned by Green Yuan in the teahouse are all-knowing and know many ancient things, then Rat Da Man can also be considered one, except that he belongs to the common people and is a minor demon.

But such an inconspicuous little devil in the city should not be underestimated.

His network of information extends throughout the entire Youtu City. While he dares not discuss the secrets involving powerful figures and influential individuals, there is no gossip or rumors circulating in the city that he is unaware of.

For example, Spider Sister from Liangyi Lane took on a needlework job at an embroidery shop, Grandpa Cat from Dupo Village found a new lover, the Rabbit Demon from Nantou Village gave birth to another litter of babies yesterday, and Tiger Sanlang from the north of the city brought back a treasure from the Eastern Region, etc.

—It can be said that there is no trivial matter that he does not know.
