In some northern cultures, the Fox Immortal is considered a being superior to humans. The word "Immortal" in its name grants it a much higher status.
Such beings can protect a family, ensure their safety, and even bring them wealth.
They possess special abilities, much like Immortal Law.
Their comings and goings are never dictated by humans. Instead, it is humans who seek their aid. Only to fulfill a pact or repay a kindness will they agree to become a household god.
But for the landlady, the household god had never actually protected her home or her family.
So, for her, the household god's existence was now meaningless.
It was better to give it to Wen Ying, who was clearly no ordinary person.
She believed that what Wen Ying was doing on the old street had to be a good thing, something that would benefit everyone.
That was why she had unhesitatingly foisted the slumbering Fox Immortal upon her.
"Auntie, are you sure?"
