I flew on a sword at the magic academy

"She is one of the twenty guardian deities of Buddhism, and she has just been taken back for discipline." Shi Daohan briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Buddhist protectors?" Kevin had never been exposed to these things and couldn't quite understand what Shi Daohan was saying.

Shen Tianyu spoke up: "She is a guardian deity in Buddhism, not the ghost you're talking about."

They didn't tell Kevin about how Kishimojin caused the car accident that killed Kevin's parents. Since the matter was already resolved, there was no need to add to his sadness.

Shi Daohan stroked Kevin's hair and said with a light laugh, "Once this matter is settled, you will also usher in a great opportunity. Buddha will soon send an envoy to guide you into Buddhism, and your parents will become your Dharma protectors, accompanying you day and night."

Kevin ignored the first part of the sentence, only hearing the second part that his parents would return to him. His face immediately lit up with surprise and excitement. He gripped Shi Daohan's hand tightly and exclaimed, "Are you serious? My parents will come back to me?!"

Shi Daohan nodded: "How could it be false if Buddha himself promised it?"

Just then, the witch Jing Xinyu returned and peeked inside from outside the door.

"Resolved?"

"Yes, the person has been personally taken back by Buddha."

The moment the Buddha's phantom appeared, Jing Xinyu immediately chose to flee far away, and only dared to return after everything had calmed down.

Shen Tianyu glanced at Jing Xinyu and teased her in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so timid. Just a phantom image that appeared from a distance was enough to scare you into running away in panic, not daring to utter a single word."

Jing Xinyu glared at him fiercely: "Don't talk like that, it's easy for you to say. That's a big shot in Buddhism! You guys have a big shot protecting you, so he wouldn't dare do anything to you. But how dare I, a weak woman from the demon race, act presumptuously in front of him? I'd be slapped to death in one slap!"

"Why don't you just invite the Demon Lord out of the Demon Realm? By the way, does your Demon Realm still have a Demon Lord now?" Shi Daohan asked tactfully.

Jing Xinyu sat down on the sofa, propped up one of her long, straight, fair, and flawless legs on the table, and said, "Why is it gone? The current Demon Lord is named Cang Jie."

"Cang Jie?" Shi Daohan silently memorized the name, then asked with a smile, "You're just telling us such a confidential matter like this? Aren't you afraid we'll report it to our sect?"

Jing Xinyu waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's just a name, it's not some kind of secret. Go ahead and report it if you want, it's no big deal."

Her nonchalant demeanor made Shi Daohan and Shen Tianyu uneasy, wondering if what she said was true or just a smokescreen.

Afterwards, the three of them took Kevin back to the mansion.

As soon as Kevin entered the house, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Kevin, is that you back?"

Kevin stood frozen for several seconds, then broke free from Shi Daohan's grasp and ran frantically upstairs, shouting, "Mom! Is that you?!"

He rushed into the room on the second floor, but did not see his mother. However, the familiar voice calling his mother was right next to him and he could hear it clearly.

"Mom! Where are you? Kevin misses you so much!"

Kevin looked around and shouted in a tearful voice. Finally, his gaze fell on the teddy bear on the bed, which was only a little over two meters tall. He found that the teddy bear's eyes were blood red and were rolling around. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, that's your mother."

Shi Daohan and the other two also came to the second floor and gently comforted him.

"Sorry Kevin, Mommy scared you."

The teddy bear lay quietly on the bed, emitting a woman's voice.

"After your mother died, she was worried about you, so she entrusted her soul to that teddy bear. Although you can't hear her voice all these years, she has been protecting you every moment."

"It is precisely because your mother is protecting you that the Demon Mother Goddess has tried to harm you several times, but in the end, she has not succeeded."

Shen Tianyu and Shi Daohan spoke one after the other, telling Kevin about these things.

After listening to them, the witch Jing Xinyu couldn't help but sigh and say, "Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers. She is truly a great mother."

The demon race is not what the rumors say, a group of creatures that only know how to kill and crave blood. Jing Xinyu also has a mother.

Kevin's mother reminded her of her own mother, which touched her and made her feel a lump in her throat.

After confirming that his mother's voice was indeed coming from the teddy bear, Kevin could no longer suppress his emotions. He rushed over, hugged the teddy bear tightly, and burst into tears.

"Soon Kevin will be ordained as a Buddhist monk, and you will become his Dharma protectors, accompanying him."

Shi Daohan spoke softly to Kevin's mother's spirit, telling her that this was a good thing and that she didn't need to worry.

"Before the Buddhist monks arrive, you will have to stay in this puppet for the time being."

"Let's go. This is a rare opportunity for them to talk, so let's not disturb them here."

Shi Daohan and the other two quietly left the room and sat down in the living room on the first floor.

By this time, the sky was beginning to lighten, and the morning sun pierced through the clouds to illuminate the earth. And so, another night had passed.

"The Demon Mother Goddess has been taken away, so our mission is complete. The cleanup work will be handled by the Buddhist sect, and it's not really our concern anymore. As for our reward..."

Jing Xinyu rubbed her fingers together and asked when she could receive the payment.

She was really strapped for cash; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was penniless.

"Let's not bother them for now. If you need money, I can lend you some," Shi Daohan said lazily, half-lying on the sofa.

"Oh? You're willing to lend me money?" Jing Xinyu's beautiful eyes lit up immediately when she heard that Shi Daohan was willing to lend her money.

Shi Daohan was very generous, saying, "We are classmates at Horagaka Academy and colleagues at the Exorcism Bureau. What's there to be reluctant about? Just ask for as much as you want."

Upon hearing that money could be borrowed, Shen Tianyu also came over, expressing that she also wanted to borrow some money for an emergency.

Finally, Jing Xinyu borrowed 100,000 magic stones from Shi Daohan, which would be worth a little over 250,000 yuan if exchanged for currency in the normal world.

Shen Tianyu borrowed 150,000 magic stones from Shi Daohan in one go, which could be exchanged one-to-one for basic spirit stones in the cultivation world.

"One owes me 100,000 spirit stones, and the other owes me 150,000 spirit stones. Remember them well, and don't try to renege on your debts later." Shi Daohan counted on his fingers, his smile exceptionally bright.

That very day, the group left Kevin's mansion and found a branch of the Magic Guild, where they exchanged spirit stones for mortal currency.

After receiving the money, Jing Xinyu went to a bustling city nearby and, displaying her girlish shopping instincts, practically emptied all the clothing stores.

After obtaining the corresponding spirit stones, Shen Tianyu also purchased a lot of materials for tempering and maintaining his natal flying sword through various channels.

In just a few hours, they had squandered all their money and spirit stones.

Shi Daohan's lips twitched as she watched. She felt that her expenses were already quite high, but she didn't expect that these two people's spending speed was even more terrifying than hers, which really shocked her.

Afterwards, they arrived at a bustling amusement park, where they sealed away their magical powers and cultivation, and experienced all the thrilling rides, including roller coasters and drop towers.

Finally, they arrived at the beach, where they frolicked and played in the golden sand and cool water.

"I, Shen Tianyu, will become the leader of Donghua Mountain and make it the number one sect in China!"

"I, Shi Daohan, will build a business empire centered around my family of poets, then become the head of the Shu Mountain Sect, and compete with this man surnamed Shen for the title of the number one sect in China!"

"Then I, Jing Xinyu, will become the Demon Lord, revered by all in the Demon Realm, and then I will crush all of you so-called number one sects!"

The moonlight was cool and clear. A bonfire rose on the beach, and the three of them sat around it, drinking and singing, shouting their ideals to the sea.

They gathered at Horagaca College in the West for different reasons and purposes. At this moment, they put aside their identities and positions, forgot everything, and drank and ate heartily, filled with laughter and joy.

Regardless of whether they will turn against each other in the future due to their different stances, everything they have experienced and happened these past few days will become an indelible and beautiful memory in their hearts.

No matter how much time has passed, looking back will still make my heart burn with emotion.

"You just said you wanted to compete with me for the position of the number one sect in China?" Shen Tianyu looked at Shi Daohan, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

Shi Daohan then turned to Jing Xinyu: "You just said that after becoming the Demon Lord, you would crush my number one sect?"

"Bang!"

A disagreement escalated into a major battle, causing the entire sea to boil, with towering waves crashing against the sky.

It was called a big battle, but the three of them all knew their limits; it would be more accurate to call it a playful fight.

After everything calmed down, the three of them lay on the soft sand, gazing up at the dazzling starry sky above.

They all knew very well that this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere could not last forever.

The Demon Emperor, the Immortal in the Pot, and the Demon Lord's reincarnation vessel—drawn by these events, they will one day turn against each other due to their differing stances.

No one spoke; they simply gazed at the starry sky, letting the gentle sea breeze caress their faces, not wanting to disturb this rare moment of tranquility and beauty.

As the night passed, a fiery red sun slowly rose from the horizon, dyeing the entire blue sea a pale gold, shimmering and radiant.

The moon sets and the sun rises, the tides ebb and flow—these are things they see all the time, but watching them now with a calm mind offers a unique perspective.

"It's time to go back." Shen Tianyu stood up.

"Yes, it's time to go back." Shi Daohan stood up and stretched.

Because of the establishment of the Exorcism Division, they no longer needed to report to Headmaster Donaldson after returning to Horagaka Academy.

Upon returning to the Exorcism Bureau's office lobby, Shen Tianyu eagerly turned on her office computer to check if Kevin had already transferred the payment.

"This kid is quite trustworthy; he said he'd give 100,000 and he really only gave 100,000." Shen Tianyu pouted and wrinkled her nose.

At first, he thought it was just an ordinary ghost-catching job, so the amount of 100,000 was not low. However, they ended up dealing with a Buddhist deity, the Ghost Mother Goddess, and suffered quite a bit.

In the normal world, 100,000 is only equivalent to 4,000, which seems like a loss no matter how you look at it.

"Hey, he seems to have written us an email too. Let's open it and see." Jing Xinyu saw an envelope icon on the computer screen, clicked on it, and sure enough, it was from Kevin.

The gist of it is that the messenger sent by Buddha has found Kevin, converted him to Buddhism, and made his parents his Dharma protectors, so that he will not be a wandering ghost or be reincarnated. There are also some words of gratitude.

"This result is actually quite good," Shi Daohan nodded.

Because of the karma associated with the Demon Mother Goddess, after Kevin converts to Buddhism, Buddha will surely grant him some enlightenment, and his future will definitely be smooth and bright.

After leaving the Exorcism Bureau, Shi Daohan went straight back to Jingyue Lake. It was lunchtime, the busiest time of day, and every private room on the ship was full of people.

Seeing that Kalman, Locke, George, Fiona and the others didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from their foreheads as they ran back and forth between the floors, busy as could be, Shi Daohan touched his nose and felt a little guilty.

Since opening this hot pot restaurant in Jingyue Lake and establishing a delivery channel with Huaxia, Shi Daohan has become a hands-off manager, letting Kalman take charge of the business.

"Looks like we'll have to find a chance to recruit a few more people to help out."

Watching those little guys almost run their legs off, Shi Daohan rubbed his chin and thought to himself.

"Fuck! Is this how you serve us?!"

Just then, Shi Daohan heard such a shout and curse, and his face immediately darkened. He flashed to the private room.

Several older students were sitting in the private room, and they were pointing at Fiona, who had come to deliver the food, and cursing her.

"We're here to spend money, why are you giving me that sour look? Is this your service attitude?!"

"You can't even deliver a dish properly? Don't you have a brain?"

Perhaps feeling that the scolding wasn't enough, one of the students picked up a pot of boiling hot water and was about to pour it on Fiona.

Shi Daohan's expression suddenly turned cold. He used his magic to wrap the pot of boiling water, preventing it from spilling.

"Gentlemen, swearing is wrong enough, but why are you even thinking of physically harming them?" Shi Daohan shielded Fiona behind him, staring coldly at the students. (End of Chapter)
