"Dual swords are not exclusive to samurai. It's normal to have a short sword that is convenient for close combat."
Yao naturally would not reveal the secret that she was a dual-element magical girl. Instead, she held the hilt of the knife and looked at Yuriko provocatively with her shark teeth bared.
"Never mind, that's not important. Please don't run around. If I hit you in the wrong direction, I might accidentally chop off your head."
Yuriko took a stance, with her feet apart, one in front of the other, standing in a stable position. She then pushed the sword guard with her thumb, staring at Yao's hand holding the handle, ready to draw the sword at any time.
However, Yao did not draw his sword at all. Instead, he leaned forward suddenly and rushed in front of Yuriko at an astonishing speed.
"What?" Yuriko was shocked, but as a descendant of a daimyo who had received a full aristocratic education since childhood, she immediately realized that it was too late to draw the katana, so she wanted to take a step back and reach out to pull out the wakizashi below.
However, Yao was faster, she stepped on the instep of Yuriko's foot, stopping her from pulling away. At the same time, she pressed down the handle of the wakizashi with her right hand, and pulled out her short sword with her left hand, pressing it against Yuriko's lower abdomen.
Yao's entire set of movements was smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that he had already thought out this tactic before making his move.
In fact, her attack did not necessarily exceed Yuriko's reaction speed, but her action of rushing forward without even drawing the knife was beyond the latter's understanding of a duel, so the surprise attack was successful in one fell swoop.
"You lose." Yao raised his head and said to Yuriko with a smirk on his face.
"You are cheating! How can it be called a duel if the sword is not even unsheathed?!" After a brief shock, Yuriko said unconvinced.
"Why do you say such things when you are on the battlefield? Are you going to say such things to the enemy on the battlefield?" Yao sheathed his sword, turned around and walked upstairs without looking back.
"That's nonsense! You won by fouling someone! Only children step on each other's toes when they're fighting. How can you be considered a warrior? Stop right there! Stop! I told you to stop, can't you hear me?!"
When Yuriko saw that Yao ignored her, she became furious and began to act like a vicious person.
She transformed on the spot, took out a pure white staff with a flower bud shape on the top, pointed at Yao's back and shouted: "Four Directions Ceremony!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory cube framed the hexagram.
Li Xuan knew very well that although the attack ability of the seal system was not strong, it was not completely useless. Tang Xi once used the quadruple gravity vortex to instantly kill a large number of monsters.
If Yuriko's magic had any offensiveness at all, Yao, whose magic power was sealed, would definitely not be able to withstand it.
So he stretched out his tentacles without hesitation, pulled Yao out of the frame, and at the same time lifted the magic seal on the black cat.
The black cat was in tune with the others, and transformed the moment the seal was lifted, and said in the direction of Yuriko: "Word Spirit·Single Capture·Instant..."
"No, no, no! Just let her faint!" Li Xuan quickly covered Black Cat's mouth, finally preventing her from saying the last word.
"Word Spirit·Single Capture·Fainting." Black Cat changed the words reluctantly.
As a magical girl of the Sealing System, Yuriko has very keen perceptions.
The moment the black cat opened her mouth, she immediately realized that someone was using some kind of magic on her, and hurriedly created an all-round defensive barrier to wrap herself in it.
But the way the Word Spirit worked was beyond her understanding. Before Yuriko could figure out where the attack came from, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Chapter 194 Memory Tampering
"It was a close call. We almost had to stop playing." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his tentacles, went downstairs and carried Yuriko into the hotel room.
"Why keep this bitch? Just kill her." Yao said to Yuriko with contempt.
"Her role hasn't ended yet, so of course she can't just die like this. Besides, I want to use her to catch a big fish." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"Tsk, whatever you want. I'm going to take a nap. You can play however you want." Yao yawned and walked towards the room. He tied the knife around his waist naturally and did not give it to Li Xuan.
"Come back, did I let you go?" Li Xuan immediately called her.
"What?" Yao said impatiently.
"Give me the knife." Li Xuan stretched out his hand.
"Uncle Zayu is such a trouble..." Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Yao had no choice but to hand over the two swords and then went back to sleep.
Li Xuan admired the character Yao showed in this duel, but her attempt to hide the two swords proved that she was still planning to escape at any time.
It seems that I still need to find an opportunity to tame her before I can use her for my own benefit.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan looked at the black cat again: The black cat's reaction just now has fully demonstrated that she is sincerely on his side. In this case, there is no need to continue sealing her magic power.
"Black Cat, from now on, I will no longer seal your magic power. Can you promise me not to help other band members escape?" Li Xuan asked.
"I'm willing to agree to it, big brother, but... big brother can't hurt my bandmates." Black Cat said hesitantly.
"Big brother promises you that he will never hurt anyone in the band - except for educating them when they are disobedient. Black Cat should understand, right? Disobedient children will be spanked." Li Xuan said with a smile.
"I know, so I will be very obedient." The black cat subconsciously covered his little drum, as if he was afraid that Li Xuan would hit him.
"Okay, after Yao wakes up, you can accompany her to the street to play." Li Xuan said.
"Yao likes to be alone. She will be unhappy if I am with her."
"Just take her out by force. The reason why people like her are so sharp-tongued is mainly because they are empty inside. If you spend more time with her, she will be very happy." Li Xuan said with a smile.
The black cat nodded as if he understood, and tiptoed back to the band's room.
After the black cat left, Li Xuan dismissed the magical girls on standby and began to think about how to deal with Yuriko.
Given Yuriko's current broken state of mind, there's a high chance that she will fall successfully if she directly infuses her with blood now, but that would be a bit boring.
After all, he wanted to see to what extent her relationship with Lonai could be twisted. If they fell from the beginning, the effect of the show would be much worse.
But the problem that followed was that he had already demonstrated his evil power in front of Yuriko, and the black cat had used magic to make her faint. Once she woke up, she would definitely not give up.
Li Xuan thought about it and decided to wake up Mian Yin to see if her ability could help.
"Mian Yin, do you have a way to erase people's memories?" Li Xuan asked in his consciousness.
"Mianyin can only be written, it cannot be erased."
"So, what about using a real dream to blur the memory?"
"Want to create a dream again? Of course I can, but I might not be able to create a very complex sleep sound..."
"It's very simple. We used the woman's memory just now and modified it from the duel part, making her think she had won. She forced Yao to kneel down and apologize, and then left the hotel satisfied. In the end... she was too excited because of her revenge and fainted on the side of the road."
Li Xuan described.
"This is not difficult. If it is just a short memory, it can be blurred by a false dream. But in order to ensure that she can regard the dream as reality, please ask my cousin to use his psychic ability to put her into a hypnotic state where she believes in everything." Mian Yin suggested.
"Of course I will fully cooperate." Li Xuan immediately launched a mental interference on Yuriko. The two of them worked together to use a false dream to cover up Yuriko's short memory since entering the hotel.
After doing all this, Li Xuan should have carried Yuriko out, but he always felt that it was a pity to let her go, so he engraved a curse on her lower abdomen that would prevent her from ever reaching orgasm.
Then he dropped her off at the door of the hotel and used mental interference to force her to wake up.
After waking up, Yuriko stood up blankly. She felt that her memory was a little confused:
She remembered that the short guitarist was so scared by her that he surrendered on the spot, knelt on the ground and apologized in tears, and even kowtowed desperately to beg for her life.
Finally, he showed mercy and stepped on her head to humiliate her, then left victorious. However, due to excessive excitement, he accidentally fainted on the ground.
This is how it should be.
However, for some reason, another image vaguely emerged in Yuriko's mind.
In this video, not only did he fail to win, but he was defeated without even having the chance to draw his sword.
Moreover, after failing, she became angry and humiliated, and tried to use the power of a magical girl to teach ordinary people a lesson, without any dignity of a noble.
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Yuriko was obviously more willing to believe that the former was true in her subconscious mind. Moreover, because of Li Xuan's mental interference, Yuriko's memory of the defeat had become vague.
"That's right, I must have won. How could I lose when I carry the name of Liulichuan? It must be an illusion caused by excessive tension."
After being confused for a while, Yuriko quickly took Li Xuan's tampered dream as reality, and transformed and left the hotel with a victorious smile.
Thinking that her life was about to take a turn for the better, Yuriko never wanted to go back to that shabby rental house again. She took the second prize check to the bank and withdrew all the 1 million.
She used the money to have a delicious meal, then went to the theater to watch an elegant musical after a long time, and finally booked a room in a high-end hotel and slept on the soft big bed.
"This kind of life is more in line with my status!"
Feeling the soft mattress beneath her and the comfortable and tidy environment, Yuriko, who did not want to be disturbed, turned off her cell phone and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already late at night. Yuriko thought that after so much time had passed, there should be some news from Lonai, right?
So she turned on her cell phone, and a series of notification sounds suddenly rang out. The number of messages and missed calls on her phone reached double digits.
"How rude! No matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't keep interrupting me. Have you turned into a wild monkey without manners after leaving Liu Lichuan's house?"
Yuriko frowned, but thinking that she still had to rely on Lonai to pay off her debt, she had to suppress her anger and called her.
Chapter 195 Ms. Liu Lichuan doesn't want to work
"Miss, are you okay? Your phone was not connected and there was no one in the rental house. Lonai thought something happened to you." The phone was picked up in an instant, and Lonai's worried voice came over.
"I was just busy with something that can't be disturbed, so I turned off my phone - how was your talk with the church?" Yuriko asked.
"I'm glad you're okay, Miss. Lonai has discussed the fund with the church people. They are willing to provide assistance, but the condition is..."
"I don't want to hear the conditions. How much are they willing to give?" Yuriko asked.
"Five and a half million is just enough to pay off your debts, and the extra money is a living allowance."
"Why is it so little? The church should be very rich, right?" Yuriko said dissatisfiedly.
Although five million sounds like a large number, considering the purchasing power of the New Sun Country, it is not enough to buy a ten-square-meter apartment in Liulichuan City.
What's more, most of it will be used to pay off debts and cannot directly improve Yuriko's life.
Lonai thought that his efforts in obtaining aid funds would finally make the young lady happy, but he did not expect that she was still not satisfied.
"This... Of course, for the young lady, this amount of money is nothing. But at least it is enough to pay off the debt. Then Ronai will apply for leave of absence from school to be the young lady's assistant. With the popularity of the runner-up of the music festival, he will definitely be able to make a successful debut and revive the Rurikawa family!" After a moment's silence, Ronai decided to look forward to a bright future and cheer for Miss Yuriko.
Of course, she also had some selfish motives. Having been influenced by the Ruri River family for a long time, Lonai also understood music, and was especially good at various string instruments. If she followed the young lady, she might have the opportunity to debut as an idol group together. Then, she would be able to stand on the same stage with the young lady whom she admired so much. What a wonderful thing that would be!
Just by imagining that scene, Lonai felt a flame of happiness burning in his body.
However, Rurikawa Yuriko's next words extinguished Lonai's fantasy like a bucket of cold water.
"Lonai, when will you figure it out? Although music is elegant, it is just an industry for the lower class. For a noble like me, playing music is just a hobby. If the eldest daughter of the Liulichuan family also relies on music to make a living like a geisha, what will it look like to others?" Liulichuan scolded.
"But...but the eldest lady once said in person that she wanted to use music to revive the Rurikawa family, and she also wanted Lonai to be her assistant..." Lonai reminded aggrievedly.
The reason why Yuriko is unwilling to make a living in music is actually very simple: the debt crisis has been resolved, and without the threat of going into the film industry, Yuriko's lazy nature has been exposed again.
She doesn't want to treat her hobby as a job, and she doesn't want to contact him day after day, and she doesn't want to compromise herself to please the audience and play "vulgar" music that the audience likes more. Without the pressure of debt, Yuriko now only wants to return to a comfortable life with clothes and food provided for her as soon as possible.
Since she has decided to use Ronai for this, she might as well use her to the end. After all, in Yuriko's opinion, it doesn't matter to her whether the magical girl organization in Rurikawa City is independent or not.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. The debt problem has been resolved. As a lady of the main family, I need to consider the long-term future. This cannot be explained in a few words. Besides, as a servant, do you actually want to question the master's decision?" Yuriko said with a stern face and tone.
"...Sorry, it's Lonai who spoke too much. So, Miss, since you don't want to make a living by music, what are your plans next?" Lonai asked carefully.
"I want to go into business! Since the ancestors of the Liulichuan family lost power, they resolutely devoted themselves to the business world and created a huge business empire through their own efforts and sweat. So, for the Liulichuan family, going into business is a respectable and status-appropriate job."
"Lonai doesn't understand business, but since it is the eldest lady's decision, Lonai will definitely support it."
"So, you have to talk to the church as soon as possible and increase the aid to 100 million or 200 million, so that I have the most basic start-up capital." Yuriko took the opportunity to put forward her request.
"One or two hundred million? This..."
"Is it difficult?"
"Lonai, try to talk..."
"Don't worry, after I use this money to revive the Rurikawa family, I will definitely recruit you back to be my personal maid again. I will treat you like a real sister." Yuriko also felt that she might have put too much pressure on Ronai, so she comforted her with kind words.
"Yes, Lonai will definitely live up to the young lady's expectations."
"Go ahead and get things done as soon as possible. I still have a lot of preparatory work to do." Yuriko said and hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Yuriko tidied her messy hair with a smile.
She was extremely satisfied with her own approach of combining kindness with severity. Isn't this approach of combining leniency and severity exactly the style of her ancestors when they entered the business world?
In order to reward herself, she decided to go to the beauty salon for a good treatment and relax her tired body and mind.
Seeing Yuriko so happy, Li Xuan did not bother her. What he had to do now was to mess up the church aid as soon as possible. If the aid was successfully received, the drama of forcing good women into prostitution would not be able to continue.
It's time to strengthen the magical girls of Liulichuan City.
Li Xuan came to the beach where he camped that day and activated the Blood of Corruption. He imitated the appearance of the whale he encountered that day and summoned five huge whale-shaped monsters in one breath.
Each of these five whales consumed a thousand milliliters of corrupted blood, and possessed the ability to manipulate gravity, far exceeding the prototypes they imitated. Li Xuan also used the wine of joy to strengthen their magic resistance, and used the imprint to give them powerful self-healing abilities.
After this series of strengthening, let alone Xu Rou and Wu Yan, even Tan Xiang and Tang Xi who have already reached the A-level threshold cannot say that they can definitely beat any of them.
Li Xuan was very satisfied with these five powerful monsters created by the combined skills of blood, wine and seal, so he let four of them dive into the sea and sent only one to wreak havoc in the city, while he observed the battle from a distance.
When a huge shadow loomed over the city, half of Liulichuan City fell into panic.
Lonai, who was negotiating with the church, sensed the breath of the monster and immediately stopped haggling. He transformed directly and flew over the city with several magical girls from the church.
"It's so big... Although it's a common whale-shaped monster in Liulichuan City, it's stronger than any previous ones..." a magical girl from the church exclaimed.
