"My body feels so heavy and I'm so tired." After saying a few words, Yang Cai felt a little weak. "What's wrong with me? Did I suddenly get sick? It's strange. My fever was not this severe before. I fainted all of a sudden."

"You're not sick," 2B shook her head, dismissing Haruna's idea. "Your spiritual energy, which was overgrown, suddenly went out of control. Your body couldn't handle it, so your brain's protective mechanism kicked in, causing you to faint."

"So that you won't suffer too much when you die."

"Die!" Hina's voice was a little distorted because of fear.

Hina is not unfamiliar with the word death. It can even be said that before she met Ouyang Xuan, Hina had dealt with this word a lot. Her mother was constantly fighting against the word death. However, Hina never expected that one day this word would fall upon her. She originally thought that it would take several decades.

"Really...really, 2B, you can't learn the pranks of those people on the Internet. You can't just joke about things like this." Haruna forced herself to smile and looked at 2B with eager eyes, hoping to hear from 2B that this was a prank.

"The master said that there is no need to hide it from you, because this kind of thing cannot be concealed."

The clacking sound of 2B's high-heeled boots on the ground was like a hammer hitting Hina's heart. Until this beautiful woman with the tall figure that made her envious stood next to her, Hina didn't dare to raise her head to look at 2B.

2B held Hina's hand and slowly took it out from under the blanket covering her body.

Now that it's already happened, there's no point in running away. We should face it and defeat it. Even if we die, we'll splatter his face with blood and strangle him with our intestines! We're going to die, so what's the point of having a face? — A future disciple of the Tianshi Mansion who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hina looks at her own hands every day. They should be the least mysterious part of her body. However, when she saw her hands again, Hina's pupils dilated instantly and even her breathing stopped.

Hina could clearly feel each of her fingers. Even though her strength had not yet recovered, she could still move her index finger or little finger with difficulty. However, she could not see clearly. Hina could not see her own hands. The light from above her head passed directly through Hina's translucent palms and shone brightly into Hina's eyes. The light made Hina's heart tremble.

"Master has made a basic judgment. If you continue to let Hina's condition go unchecked, within a week, her entire body will become transparent, her consciousness will disappear, and finally her soul and body will dissipate into the world. Hina, you must have come into contact with a powerful demon, been under a spell, or had a soul fragment implanted in you. That's why you're like this."

"This great demon's magic is very powerful. Before the attack, even the master could only detect the abnormal growth of your spiritual power, but could not find the cause."

"President, where is the president?" Hina's voice was trembling violently. If 2B hadn't been able to rely on the computer in her body to calculate, she wouldn't have been able to analyze what Hina was saying.

When people are most afraid and vulnerable, they will subconsciously want to rely on the person they trust the most. The person that Hina trusts the most is undoubtedly her president, Ouyang Sun.

"The master is on the rooftop, on the phone with a witch from the island country who is proficient in monsters. He wants to confirm what kind of monster is the one that cast a spell on Hina, and how to get rid of it. As long as the caster is dealt with, the spell on Hina should be lifted."

When saying this, 2B seemed a little lacking in confidence. When the island nation developed 2B, they had not thought of Hina's situation, and had not input the countermeasures and information into 2B's computer host. Could killing this big monster, who could hide from Ouyang Falcon, a disciple of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, really remove the spell?

Because the magic on Hina was detonated, Tokyo had a rare good day. The cloudless yellow moon hanging in the sky was very beautiful.

"So, have you figured out anything? Can you confirm what species the person who cast the spell on Hina is from?"

"Ha~~ I just finished reading the information you sent me. It's so much and so detailed. Are you a human or artificial intelligence? You can write so much in such a short time." A sleepy girl's voice came from the other end of the computer.

"It's similar to your calculations. If your information is correct, the one who cast the spell on your assistant was a dragon."

"I'm so sleepy. I'm looking up information for you at around one in the morning. Ha~~ I won't be working tomorrow. I need to get some more sleep." Besides the complaining voice on the other end of the line, there was also the sound of flipping pages. "I found it. There's indeed a dragon sealed in Tokyo. Wow, it has something to do with you."

"Is it related to me?"

"Well, according to the information I have, this Jiao became a spirit over 600 years ago through cultivation. 400 years ago, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was soon able to leap over the Dragon Gate and become a real dragon. To gain something, he agreed to join the army and contribute to the Shogun's foreign expansion. However, he was later killed by Zhang from your Tianshi Mansion. Zhang, I can't remember his name clearly."

"Anyway, it was sealed inside a stone sculpture in what is now the Tsushima Strait. Later, somehow, it became part of the public and was bought back by a merchant from an island nation."

"What about the rest?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

"After that? There's nothing after that." The girl on the other end of the phone was also a little speechless. "It seems to be the emperor's old Bi... The old man moved to Tokyo, and the information is no longer synchronized with Kyoto. There is no record of him after that. But he must have been bought by a rich man. Fortunately, he was not lucky enough to build a shrine for him. He absorbed some incense and gave him some power to influence the outside world."

"Your assistant most likely went to worship it, and then he took a fancy to him and chose him as a sacrifice."

"Then I'll go kill him. I hope your Hakurei Shrine won't have any objections." Ouyang Xuan seemed to be asking, but in fact he was giving a notice.

"Huh? Whatever, just die. It's not a pity for such a thing to die..." On the other end of the phone, Hakurei Reimu was nodding her head in the study, about to fall asleep at any moment.

Chapter 36: Bribing Miss Reimu for Only Yen

"As long as it's not something like the stolen stones or the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, we don't care. It's the 21st century now. Just leave it to the government of the outer world. I'll just collect some incense money."

"Besides, the east side is no longer under our jurisdiction, so it's useless for you to ask me. However, there are no shrines in the east that can support the situation. You can just do whatever you want. There's no need to greet them. If there's anything, just let them deal with it publicly and go find your master and the others."

"You are very skilled."

"Of course. I can't always greet the locals every time I go to deal with an incident. Oh, no, I haven't greeted them. After that, if there's anything, I'll go to the Hakurei Shrine and ask the old lady—" Reimu, who was talking freely, suddenly stopped talking as if she had eaten a big mouthful of lard. She quickly recovered and continued, "Let the people above handle it. I'm a man of action."

"But remember to do it cleanly. If someone in the outer world sees it, or it's filmed, it won't be difficult to deal with, but it's exhausting. Every time something like this happens, we have to hold a meeting. It's so annoying. It can take days or months."

Even through the phone, Ouyang Xuan could sense Reimu's dissatisfaction. As a shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she had to be present every time there was a meeting between the island nation and the other world. It was so boring to listen to those old men arguing in the small room.

"Do you have anything else to say? I need to go to bed. It's already two o'clock now."

"If killing the dragon still doesn't remove the spell from Yang Cai, I plan to take her back to the mainland and ask my master or grandfather for help."

"But I still have some unfinished commissions. Can you come and take over for me for a few days?"

"Ha~~" Reimu was speechless. She worked three days a week and rested the next day at Hakurei Shrine. How could she be asked to run hundreds of kilometers to Tokyo to take her place?

"I have a lot of things to do at Hakurei Shrine, praying for blessings and warding off disasters, receiving tourists..."

"Fifty thousand yen a day." Ouyang Xuan put forward his price.

"I'm not only the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, but also a very important fighting force in the west. Many changes and disturbances require me to go out and solve them. How can I run to the east for a mere 50,000 yuan?" Reimu was a little shaken.

"Seventy thousand yen a day."

"I've already told you this, it's not a matter of money. My Hakurei Shrine is the largest shrine in western Kyoto. The money from incense offerings every day is hundreds of thousands of yen. Every year, a large number of companies and wealthy families donate money to us. As long as it passes through my hands, I'll have a lot of money." Reimu's voice trembled a little.

"One hundred thousand yen a day."

"Daily payment!" Reimu bargained quickly.

"Zhou Jie."

"make a deal!"

Hakurei Shrine is indeed the largest shrine in western Kyoto. There are endless tourists and pilgrims coming to worship every day, and the daily incense money is indeed hundreds of thousands to millions, and on some days it can even reach tens of millions.

But just like the Tianshi Mansion, the Hakurei Shrine is divided into the outside and the inside. All of this money belongs to the surface Hakurei Shrine that is open to the outside world. It is used to pay the salaries of employees and to repair and maintain the shrine, as well as to hold various festivals and sacrificial activities, and to help the poor. At this time, most of the money is used in this place. By the time it is handed over to the real Hakurei Shrine inside, which is not open to the public, only a small amount is left.

Reimu is the type of person who comes from a wealthy family but has no money herself.

The money was in the hands of an eighteen-year-old girl. On the pretext of not letting Reimu indulge in pleasure, she only gave Reimu the same pocket money as an average high school girl. She had money to spend, but it was not enough.

After interrupting the call to Kyoto, Ouyang Jun saw the message from 2B on his phone. Hina had just woken up and was asking him if he wanted to go downstairs to see her. Ouyang Jun asked 2B to accompany Hina and he would go down later.

He continued to make calls. This time, Ouyang Xuan called a number he had only called a few times in the three years since he came to the island country. The ring only rang once and the call was connected.

"Good evening, Lord Ou." Nao Hayasaka's voice was capable and clear, and she didn't sound like someone who was wearing pajamas and wrapped in a quilt just a second ago.

"In fifteen minutes, all patients in your hospital must be evacuated." Without any greetings, Ouyang Xuan stated his request directly.

"We will follow your wishes, Lord Ou." Hayasaka Nao didn't ask why. While she was still on the phone, someone on the other side had already started arranging the evacuation of the hospital using another phone.

"Don't see me in tomorrow's news headlines."

"Yes, there will definitely not be any news about you on the headlines of the entire island tomorrow."

As a close attendant of Shinomiya Gan'an, Hayasaka Nao has witnessed all kinds of orders and requests that are either ridiculous or incomprehensible. She has also learned one thing: she is a close attendant, she only needs to do it, she does not need to understand the inside story, and she does not need to know what the purpose of doing so is.

"Any further instructions, Lord Ou?"

"That's all."

Without any hesitation, Ouyang Jun hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, and walked down the rooftop where the cold wind was blowing.

Hayasaka Nao, who was hung up on the other end of the phone, was not angry at all. Even though Ouyang Falcon couldn't see, she still lowered her head and said, "I wish you all the best and good luck in martial arts."

Work came, and Nao Hayasaka, who had just slept for an hour, got up and took off her pajamas. The pear-like curves underneath were illuminated by the moonlight, like top-grade mutton-fat jade. The slightly trembling breastplate was Kaguya's lifelong luxury.

Nao Hayasaka picked out a maid outfit from the closet and changed into it in just one minute, then walked out of her room wearing loafers.

At this time, the Shinomiya family mansion became bustling again. The Shinomiya Hospital, which was dozens of kilometers away, was also evacuating personnel due to an emergency gas leak accident without flames. Whether it was a patient with a fever and a cold, or a patient with a broken leg, they were all transferred by the staff of the Shinomiya Hospital to another nearby hospital controlled by the Shinomiya family in the shortest time.

In order to reduce the complaints of the people at the scene, the person who was in charge of the evacuation was the eldest son of the Sigong family, Sigong Huangguang. However, he looked drunk and seemed to have been pulled out of a nightclub. There were also several bright lip marks on his neck.

"Mom." Hayasaka Ai shouted happily.

"Love."

"Hey, mom."

The moment he saw his mother, all his resentment for being woken up after just three minutes of sleep disappeared. He stretched out his head with joy, letting his mother caress him gently.

She accompanied Kaguya back to the Shinomiya family's mansion in Tokyo during the summer vacation. She didn't have to do much work, just accompany Kaguya to class. Today, she accompanied Kaguya to class at 10 o'clock, took a shower, watched the hydraulic press, and then went to bed. However, just as she fell asleep, the phone rang, asking her to get up and help prepare. Miss Kaguya got up and went to see Shinomiya Gan'an.

Looking at her daughter wearing the same maid outfit as her own, a trace of heartache flashed in Haysaka Nao's eyes. Ai should have been an ordinary girl far away from the rich and noble families, but now because of her, she has to follow in her footsteps and enter the so-called upper class society that is both dirty and disgusting.

After her husband's death, the widowed and orphaned Hayasaka mother and daughter could not get anything left by her husband except the Hayasaka surname.

Over the years, Hayasaka Nao has always wanted to give Hayasaka Ai a complete family, but as a close attendant of Shinomiya Gan'an, she has to either remain single for the rest of her life or marry another close attendant of the Shinomiya family to ensure that the secrets in her mind will not be spread out after getting married.

But if it's him, can you at least let him take his love out?

People in mainland China don’t really care about wealth now, but can she accept it if she loves you?

When Nao Hayasaka thought of Ai's angry look every time he was mentioned, she felt a headache.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Hayasaka Ai looked at her mother's strange expression curiously.

Well, it’s a bit like those handsome and nympho girls in class who discuss which boy is more handsome.

ah! Pooh!

What am I thinking about?! How could my mother possibly think about men? How could those stinky men even enter my mother's eyes?

"I'm thinking about whether I should find a father for Ai." Hayasaka Nao said with a smile.

"!!!"

Unlike Hayasaka Nao who said this lightly, Hayasaka Ai not only stood there in a daze, but the light in her eyes also disappeared quickly. Her right hand moved as if she was missing a weapon. Well, a hatchet, it would be useful for chopping dog men.

"Hehe, look how scared you are." Noticing her daughter's sudden change of mood, Hayasaka Nao smiled and tapped Hayasaka Ai's forehead. "Mom has to see Ai get married and take care of Ai's children. How can I have time to find a father for Ai?"

"Really, Mom, please stop joking like that." Hayasaka Ai, who was relieved, couldn't help but pout and said coquettishly.

"Ah, my Ai-chan, do you really think that mommy will find you a daddy? Woohoo, my daughter has grown up and knows that she misses her mommy."

"No, I don't want to share my mom with anyone else."

"Besides, a super beauty like Mom, and the head maid of the Shinomiya family, how could any ordinary man possibly enter Mom's eyes? Even those retainers of the Shinomiya family are like the moon and the toad in front of Mom. A glance from Mom is a gift from heaven. That's right, Mom is the most perfect!"

Hayasaka Ai is the number one mother-control freak in the Hayasaka family. She does not hide anything in front of her mother and expresses all her love for her mother in words. Her little face is a little red because of excitement, and her nostrils are slightly dilated, spewing out warm air.

"Really? So this is what I look like in the eyes of love." Nao Hayasaka patted her daughter's head, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Of course, mom will always be the most beautiful in my heart!"

"So, how about comparing with Miss Kaguya?"

"Compared to Miss Kaguya?" Hayasaka Ai said without hesitation, "Even if Miss Kaguya came, she can't compare to Mom."

Among all the places, Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but look at that towering place.

"I'm so happy to know that Ai Jing likes me so much. I'll make something delicious for Ai Jing in a few days when I have some rest."

"Really?" Hayasaka Ai asked in surprise.

Nao Hayasaka is Shinomiya Gan'an's close attendant. Her daily work is as much as that of some top company CEOs. Many documents passed to Shinomiya Gan'an are organized by Nao Hayasaka, and she also has to arrange his daily itinerary and schedule. Nao Hayasaka's work content is similar to that of Hayasaka Ai, but because Kaguya is still a student, there are not many arrangements and the itinerary is relatively simple.

"Really, really, mom has learned a lot of new dishes recently, like stir-fried beef noodles and sweet and sour pork, all from mainland China. They're all delicious."

"Yeah, yeah, if you want to eat, you have to eat."

Hayasaka Ai's brain was clicking as fast as pounding garlic, but she felt a strange dissatisfaction with these dishes. Maybe it was because these dishes came from the same place as Ouyang Falcon. Although Hayasaka Ai didn't know why, she just felt displeased with Ouyang Falcon. It was like an instinct that displeased her with Ouyang Falcon, especially when he stood with Hayasaka Nao, her dissatisfaction was simply overwhelming.

However, Hayasaka Ai changed her mind and got rid of her dissatisfaction. These dishes should have been learned by her mother specially for her. Her mother worked so hard to learn the dishes, so of course she should be the first person to try them!

Hayasaka Ai was indeed the first person to try her mother's new dishes, but this was not the first time that Hayasaka Nao cooked these dishes for others. The last time when Ouyang Falcon came to exorcise the spirits in Shinomiya Yanan, Hayasaka Nao cooked them once, but Ouyang Falcon said he had something to do and left without eating a single bite.

"Hayasaka, come in."

The mother and daughter were talking happily when the powerful voice of Shigong Yan'an came from the room next door. He did not sound like a man in his sixties at all.

"Yes, sir." Unlike her daughter's gentle voice, Hayasaka Nao's voice became cold and capable.

"Ai-chan, then mom will go to work first."

"Well, mom, you have to work harder."

After hearing Shinomiya Gan'an's voice, the joy on Hayasaka Ai's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by disgust and impatience.

In the study of Shinomiya Gan'an, in addition to Shinomiya Gan'an, the head of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya was also there. The door where Hayasaka mother and daughter were just now was a small door. Shinomiya Gan'an and Kaguya came in from the main door on the other side. Shinomiya Gan'an liked to use this kind of ancient thing of distinguishing the ranks of entrances. In addition to his study, his rooms in this mansion also have such a structure.

Hayasaka Nao first reported to Shinomiya Yanan what Ouyang Falcon had said to her, and then confirmed that all the patients in Shinomiya Hospital had been evacuated. Shinomiya Yanan just listened quietly to Hayasaka Nao's report. After a while, people from the Shinomiya family who stayed near Shinomiya Hospital sent back a video. A dazzling light was accompanied by a deafening explosion, and the roof of Shinomiya Hospital collapsed and thick smoke billowed out.
