Chapter 102 Unnie is a Snake Demon [Donated by Panda Eating Tomatoes, the Alliance Leader]

"Yoona~" Yoo Jimin pressed the answer button and greeted her politely, "Why did you call me directly?"

"Is Unnie a ghost?! Can she read minds?!" Shin Yuna's exaggerated shout came through the receiver.

"Huh?" Liu Zhimin was taken aback, completely confused by her abrupt question: "What mind-reading? What are you talking about?"

"No, no—" Shin Yuna exclaimed on the other end of the phone, her voice still tinged with disbelief, "It's about that! I just—well, this afternoon—contacted a supposedly very powerful wizard through a special method and asked him to do that—"

"And now, just a few hours later, you're asking me about it! That's amazing!"

"Did Unnie install a surveillance device on me? Or is Unnie really a snake demon with superpowers?"

Liu Zhimin's mind went blank for a moment. A startling coincidence flashed through her mind, causing her eyes to widen instantly. Almost without thinking, she blurted out, "You—are also in Cui Shi'an's live stream??"

"Choi Si-an? Who?" Shin Yuna was clearly taken aback for a moment, then realized, "Ah! So that streamer's name is Choi Si-an? Unnie, you know him too? You—you watch his stream too?!"

Liu Zhimin rubbed his forehead, rolled his eyes at the air in exasperation, and said, "So—that one with the Shiba Inu avatar, the ID 【ITZY is the best, You Na is the most beautiful】, and the one who's the most enthusiastic about sending gifts in the live stream—that's you, right? Shin You Na i?"

"Hehe—" came Shin Yuna's embarrassed, slightly smug laugh from the other end of the phone, after being caught red-handed: "It's so embarrassing to hear unnie say that—unnie, you absolutely have to keep this a secret!"

"Tch," Liu Zhimin curled his lip, a hint of teasing in his tone, "Look at the name you chose—it really does fit your consistently low-key personality."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, unnie~" Shin Yuna smiled and accepted it without hesitation, then became curious again: "But unnie, how do you know that announcer Choi Si-an? Are you... friends?"

"Um—you don't need to worry about that." Liu Zhimin's tone wavered for a moment, carrying a hint of barely perceptible guilt and sweetness, before quickly steer the conversation back on track: "Let's get down to business. You're at the company tomorrow afternoon, right?"

"Inside."

"OK! I'll come find you tomorrow afternoon."

Shin Yuna was taken aback, and hesitated for a moment: "Unnie, why—"

"Hehe, you'll see when the time comes~" Liu Zhimin said mysteriously.

Perhaps driven by a desire to show off her "superpowers" to her friends, this aespa captain planned to secretly go to JYP to watch the excitement without her boyfriend's knowledge, hoping she could be of some help.

Moreover, she was eager to see what Cui Shi'an meant by possession.

Whether there is any danger or not is completely outside her consideration.

After all, her boyfriend said it was just a small earthbound spirit, how could it possibly withstand one of her arrows? She had fought against corpse puppets in her past life!

Besides, there's a wizard present too!

So the next afternoon, in Seongbuk-dong, JYP Entertainment.

Liu Zhimin put on the same outfit he wore last time when he and Cui Shian went "hunting" at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain.

Their holy appearance, as if they had just returned from church worship, stood out starkly against the backdrop of modern buildings and hurried passersby.

In particular, the rectangular black hard-shell bow case she carried on her shoulder made it look like she was carrying a violin at first glance, attracting the attention of many passersby.

She stood at the door, dialed Shen Youna's number, and told her that she had arrived.

"Yes! Unnie, just a moment, I'll be right out!"

Not long after, the side door of the building opened with a "whoosh," and a tall and beautiful figure jogged out.

It was Shin Yoo-na. She was wearing a simple black fitted T-shirt and light blue skinny jeans. Her fluffy, slightly wavy red hair was particularly dazzling in the sunlight. Her skin was fair and radiant, and her clear eyes seemed to hold light.

"Unnie!" The red-haired girl waved and ran up to her. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze fell on Liu Zhimin's "formal" outfit, and she was immediately stunned.

She blinked her big eyes, looking her up and down curiously, even glancing behind Yoo Ji-min unconsciously: "Unnie, what are you doing? Filming a hidden camera? Or is there some special program?"

After she finished speaking, she looked around carefully, but found no trace of any cameras or staff.

Liu Zhimin smiled slightly, stepped forward and naturally took her arm, lowering his voice as they walked into the building, "Let's talk inside. By the way, has the wizard arrived yet?"

"Yes, we're here." Shin Yuna led the way, but couldn't help glancing at Yoo Jimin's white dress, veil, and bow case again. She couldn't help but ask, "Unnie, did you just finish church and come here on your way? Why are you dressed like that—and what's in that box?"

"I haven't been to church in ages~" Liu Zhimin said casually, yet with an unusual air of mystery. "I'm dressed up today specifically to exorcise you~"

"Huh??" Shin Yuna stopped in her tracks in shock, her eyes widening even more, almost thinking she had misheard. "Unnie has this kind of skill?? Could she really be a snake demon??"

"Haha~" Liu Zhimin puffed out his cheeks to scare her: "What if the snake demon eats you the first bite, hmph~"

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the basement level through the internal passage.

The light here was dim, and there was a damp smell mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the air.

Shin Yuna pushed open the door to an unused practice room.

Inside, Jie Duoling had changed into a formal crimson shrine maiden hanbok, her long hair neatly tied up in a bun at the back of her head.

With her back to the door, she focused intently on arranging simple ritual items such as incense burner, water, and rice wine at a small, temporarily moved square table.

Hearing the door open, she turned around. When she saw Liu Zhimin, she was slightly taken aback, but then, as if sensing something, a respectful expression immediately appeared on her face. She clasped her hands in front of her and bowed slightly: "Are you—Madam?"

Liu Zhimin was also taken aback when she heard this. She remembered that when she last met Duoling, she was wearing a helmet and did not show her true face.

"It's me—" A faint blush rose on her cheeks at being addressed as "Madam." "But—how did you recognize me? I shouldn't have shown my face that day, right?"

Jie Duoling maintained a respectful demeanor and explained, "Although my cultivation is shallow, I am quite perceptive of soul aura. Madam's soul aura is pure and bright, exactly the same as when she was with the General that day, so I recognized her."

Liu Zhimin suddenly realized, then his gaze swept across the somewhat empty practice room, noticing that only Jie Duoling was there. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are you alone? Didn't you hire an assistant? Doesn't a ritual require someone to assist and protect you?"

Jie Duoling respectfully replied, "My lord instructed yesterday that the target this time is just an ordinary earthbound spirit with weak resentment. There is no need to make a big fuss or perform any rituals. My daughter only needs to use incense as a guide to locate its hiding place before taking any action."

While the two were talking, Shen Youna, who was standing to the side, was completely confused. Her big eyes darted back and forth between Liu Zhimin and Xie Duoling, her head full of question marks.

She quietly tugged at Liu Zhimin's sleeve, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Unnie—what's going on? What adult? And—why is she calling you 'Madam'? Do you two know each other?"
