In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"It was just a minor brush with them."

Haimeng and Leizi obviously did not believe Ouyang Xuan's words, and turned their eyes to Yangcai, who was most likely to know the truth.

"Ah, this, well, it is indeed a friction and conflict. No one was injured or died, so it should be a small friction." Hina scratched her head embarrassedly.

----

"My clothes are all dirty." Hina pouted and patted the mud stuck on her body.

"Boss, didn't you kill that tiger ghost? What are you doing?"

In the shrine late at night, Hina, who has just been working there for half a month, has changed from a little girl who screams when she sees a ghost to a woman who can escape unscathed from the pursuit of a tiger-headed evil spirit.

It’s really amazing, Hina put her hands on her hips in her heart.

"He dropped something." Ouyang Xuan showed Yang Cai what he had in his hand. It was a piece of tiger bone.

"Eh~" Hina turned her face away in disgust, "This isn't a game, how come equipment drops when you kill evil spirits?"

"Spiritual cultivation is a process from nothing to something, from virtual to real. As the strength increases, it is normal for some body parts to remain after being killed. Just control the amount of magic power and don't beat them to ashes." Ouyang Xuan said as he put the tiger bones into Yang Cai's backpack.

"Boss, please don't put this in my bag!" Yang Cai jumped up and down, trying to avoid Ouyang Sun's hand. "I just bought this bag. If you put that thing in it, it will stink."

"It has no taste." Ouyang Sun said, "This is a precious ingredient. Its bones are delicious when used to make soup or noodles."

"Eat—a youkai!?"

"Why do you look so weird?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

"I just feel a little bit sick."

"That's just because you haven't eaten it before. I can make it for you to try."

"No, I refuse!" Hina made a big cross with her hands in front of her chest, and she was determined not to eat it!

Gulu~~~

Hina's serious and tense face broke in an instant, and the sound coming from her stomach made her feel very embarrassed.

"It's one o'clock now." Ouyang Xuan looked up at the moon to determine the time. "It's midnight, the favorite time for monsters and demons. Let's stay here for a while. After making sure there are no monsters lurking here, we can leave at daybreak."

"This is a shrine, yet it's become the home of a monster." Seeing that Ouyang Falcon had changed the subject for her, Yang Cai continued, "What's wrong with the gods of the island nation? They take in so much incense and yet they don't work. Damn it! Such lazy gods should be overthrown."

"A god without anyone to worship is inherently weak. Apart from those children, no one has even been here before."

After opening the folding stool that Hina had packed, Ouyang Sun and Hina sat at the entrance of the shrine, silently waiting for dawn.

"But I didn't expect the president to come all the way to this remote place just for 500 yen."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look, I've been working for the president for half a month." Hina counted on her fingers, "The heir to the XX Group, 15 million, Councillor XX, 3 million, and the Shinomiya Group, 100 million."

"I've seen commissions from the president never cost less than three million yen. I thought he was going for the high-end route."

"Longhushan disciples are responsible for exorcising demons and monsters, so it's customary for us to accept commissions from ordinary people like this. However, since you're wealthy, I'll just ask for a little money. If you don't have money, five yen will do."

"Yeah, you are worthy of being the president. You are a true Taoist priest."

With her arms folded across her chest, Yang Cai nodded vigorously. Ouyang Xuan's image was exactly the same as those righteous Taoist priests she had looked up on the Internet, except that he had two disciples, and the shop he opened was a charity cemetery and his surname was Lin.

Gollum~~

When Hina was sighing that Ouyang Xuan really looked like a Taoist priest in a movie, her stomach growled again at an inopportune time.

"Eat something." Ouyang Xuan placed the rice ball right in front of Yang Cai.

"Thank you, President." Yangcai took the rice ball and found that it was actually steaming hot. She was surprised and said, "This rice ball is actually hot. President, did you bring an insulated box with you?"

Hina looked at Ouyang Xuan from head to toe, but couldn't see anything like that at all.

"I was expecting to eat the cold rice balls in the bag, but I didn't expect to eat steaming hot rice balls." Haruna took a delicious bite of the rice ball, and the taste of teriyaki chicken and rice exploded in her mouth at the same time. "Hmm, it's actually the same teriyaki chicken rice balls I bought."

"I took it out of your bag originally." Ouyang Xuan asked curiously, "I took it out when I put the tiger bone in there just now."

"When did you put it in here!?"

Yang Cai reached back and really felt a hard object in the backpack. It was obviously the tiger bone.

"Forget it. If my backpack gets smelly, I'll have the president compensate me." Hina angrily swallowed the rice ball in one gulp, and then choked because she ate too quickly.

"Don't eat too fast." Ouyang Xuan patted Yang Cai's shoulder.

"Hmm... Hmm..."

Yang Cai pointed at the thermos cup at Ouyang Xuan's feet. Yang Cai saw that it contained scallop soup. Yang Cai pounded her chest and pointed at the thermos cup, wanting Ouyang Xuan to give it to her, but Ouyang Xuan just patted Yang Cai's back and had no idea of this at all.

The president is a straight man who doesn’t know how to take care of others!

Seeing Ouyang Xuan who didn't understand what she meant at all, Yang Cai's eyes widened in anger. She pounced and took the thermos cup at Ouyang Xuan's feet. She tilted her head back and drank up all the scallop soup in it. Only then did she catch her breath.

"Boss, I'm choking, and you're not even giving me water. That's too much."

"Don't you think you can't accept food made from monsters?"

"That's right." Hina said unhappily, "President, please don't change the subject. Your lovely member was almost choking to death just now. You——"

When Hina was complaining about Ouyang Falcon, the moonlight just changed its position. The gentle moonlight sprinkled on Hina's body and the thermos cup in Hina's hand. Through the moonlight, the small black and white eyeballs in the shell were looking at Hina through the mouth of the cup.

Hina looked at the shell in the thermos, and a chill rushed from her tailbone to the top of her head. Hina screamed and threw the thermos in her hand away, but Ouyang Jun caught it with his quick eyes and hands.

"Then, aren't those the scallops we processed last time we went to Shikoku? The ones whose flesh turned into eyeballs overnight!"

"Yes." Ouyang Xuan nodded in agreement. "That kind of monster is used to make soup, which is very delicious. I tried it, but I didn't expect you to drink it all."

"I, this, you." Hina started to speak incoherently. Although she had swallowed the scallop soup in one gulp, the delicious taste was like a hook that tightly hooked Hina's tongue. She could feel the delicious taste every time she licked her tongue in her mouth.

"tasty?"

"Hmm..." Hina's face was twisted in confusion. After a while, she finally realized that she shouldn't go against her own heart and nodded. "It tastes good."

"Next time I'm going to try making tiger bone ramen with the tiger bones," Ouyang Xuan planned. "Save a bowl for you?"

"No, thanks." Hina still refused, "I don't think I can accept the food made by monsters."

"Ok."

I don’t know if it was Hina’s illusion, but she seemed to vaguely hear a sense of loss in Ouyang Sun’s voice?

The topic of monster cooking ended, and Hina couldn't stand the awkward silence, so she took the initiative to find a new topic.

"President, you haven't told me yet?" Hina tried to find a new topic. "Why is that rice ball warm? Do you have a spell that can stop time? Oh, no, that's not right. When I bought it from the convenience store, I took it directly out of the refrigerator and didn't ask the staff to heat it up."

"Why not just heat it directly?"

Hina watched as Ouyang Falcon gathered the explosive dragon flames from the dragon spell into his palm, which instantly turned a brilliant red. If Hina remembered correctly, Ouyang Falcon's slap could have killed at least ten monsters like the one just now. Such a powerful ability, and he actually used it to heat rice balls!?

"Hey! You're the ones who made the connection, right?"

When Hina was speechless about Ouyang Shun, a group of people appeared in this remote shrine at midnight.

"I thought it was someone from the outside world coming to buy toys, but it turned out to be someone from the inner world." The bald leader could see the magic power emanating from Ouyang Xuan.

"I brought the stuff. Three rats that can self-destruct. I guarantee one rat can blow up an entire building."

While the bald man was speaking, his men took out a cage, and three hamster-like monsters curled up in fear in a corner of the cage.

"Five million yen each. Pay now. Hand over the goods."

After hearing what the bald man said, Yang Cai was filled with questions. What on earth was going on? Hadn't she and the president come to this shrine to fulfill a request from some children and eliminate the monsters that were entrenched there? What rats? What could blow up a building?

"Do you want a monster trafficking organization?" Ouyang Xuan asked.

"Is there something wrong with your brain? Didn't your middleman tell you? We are the famous Edo Group!"

Chapter 38 King Kong

"Never heard of it?" Ouyang Xuan shook his head.

"Hey, where did this bumpkin come from? He's obviously from outside Tokyo, and he smells like a country bumpkin." The bald man said with disdain, "He also smells like monsters. Are they some barbarians who still eat monsters?"

Ouyang Xuan, who had just killed the tiger-headed evil spirit emitting magical powers, and Yang Cai, who drank the monster scallop soup and whose whole body was filled with the aura of the monster's unjust death, these two factors combined made Baldy give up the idea of confirming the identities of the two. They were obviously two barbarians who liked to eat monsters. Could they also be a hook?

"I have no interest in knowing where you got these mice, whether they were for food or entertainment. Five million each, fifteen million in total. Not a penny less."

"President, did they mistake us for someone else?" Yang Cai leaned close to Ouyang Sun's ear. "Besides, from what they said, they don't seem to be good people."

"Not only are there monsters, they also have a lot of human blood on them."

"Their buyer couldn't be the tiger I just killed, could it?"

Ouyang Xuan immediately abandoned this idea. After the tiger-headed evil spirit was killed, only one bone was lost. With such strength, how could it have 15 million?

"I want to inspect the goods."

Raising his hand, Ouyang Jun threw the bank card that Hayasaka Nao gave him over. It was said that this card could be used for unlimited payments, and the money was paid by the Shinomiya family. However, since Hayasaka Nao gave it to Ouyang Jun, Ouyang Jun had never used this card.

"Hey, a Tokyo Bank Black Gold Card." The bald man clearly recognized the value of the card. "Here, take your time to check it. If you want to eat it, I can have the guys bring you a stove."

A rich rookie who likes to eat monsters, this is the bald man’s secret evaluation of Ouyang Xuan.

"It is indeed a monster rat that can blow up an entire building by self-destructing." As soon as the cage came into Ouyang Xuan's hands, he immediately confirmed that what the bald man said just now was not false.

"Of course. We in the Edo Group are all about quality. Whether it's for killing people, setting fires, barbecuing or stewing, we can get any kind of monster you want. In Kanto, there's no monster that our Edo Group can't get."

"My friend, I have been in Tokyo for decades, but I have never seen you. Are you from Okinawa or Kansai?" The bald man felt that Ouyang Xuan, a wealthy and high-quality customer, must be firmly grasped in his hands.

"From now on in Tokyo, we'll all be friends. The other world is so small, and the more friends you have, the more paths you can take. Today, let's treat it as a welcome dinner for my brothers. How about charging you four million yen for just one monster?"

"Not very good." Ouyang Xuan lifted the cage and swung it back. The cage drew an arc in the air and was caught by Yang Cai.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Well, it seems that my studies have been quite fruitful." Ouyang Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "My accent is so good that you can't tell I'm a foreigner anymore."

"Do it!"

The bald man didn't know Ouyang Xuan's background, but his years of experience in gangs told him that Ouyang Xuan was definitely not here to do business.

The younger brothers took out samurai swords from somewhere and cut their palms with the blades in unison, letting the bright red blood smear on the silver-white blades. At the same time, they muttered different spells. This is a very common spell in the island country. It is simple and easy to learn. It can make the knife cut through iron like mud, making it extremely hard and causing wounds that are difficult to heal. It is an excellent spell for assassinations and street fights.

If they encountered a team of similar strength and also using cold weapons, they would have no problem crushing the opponent, or even fighting back and forth. Unfortunately, Ouyang Sun on the opposite side was holding the rifle that had just killed the tiger-headed evil spirit.

There was no need to aim at all. Facing these dozen younger brothers who rushed up while shouting slogans, Ouyang Jun only needed to pull the trigger at the approximate location. Because Yang Cai was still behind him, Ouyang Jun did not aim at the vital parts. He lowered the muzzle of the gun and started pulling the trigger at their legs.

"Ah!" This is Haruna who covered her eyes, thinking she would see a bloody scene.

"Ah!"

"My legs! My king's power!"

These are the little brothers who rolled on the ground and howled non-stop after being shot through the thighs.

When they saw Ouyang Sun actually using this ineffective firearm, they almost laughed out loud. He was indeed a country rookie who was not from Tokyo. Didn't he know that in the other world, guns could not beat swords?

When they wanted to open the eyes of Ouyang Xuan, a foreign bumpkin, and used the samurai swords in their hands to shoot away all the bullets fired by Ouyang Xuan, the blades collided with the bullets, and the fragile blades were all broken. The bullets continued to fly as easily as if they were shooting through paper, until they pierced their thighs, and the broken blades also pierced their thighs.

"Ahhh!! It hurts, you despicable villain, you actually used a gun! Do you have any bushido spirit at all?"

"Boss, my butt hurts. Is my butt stuck in a tree?"

Some of the brothers on the ground were covering their legs and howling as they rolled around, while others were lying on their backs yelling. Ouyang Xuan did not continue to finish off the enemy. It was not that he did not want to, but there were only thirty bullets in the rifle, and they were all used up.

"You can actually imbue every bullet with mana and magic." The bald man's comedian-like face suddenly turned serious. "I don't know who you are, but hey, are you hired by the Kyoto Group to mess with us?"

"Do you have a Nagoya group here? Or an Osaka group?"

"The peaceful days of the past few years have made my brain rusty. I actually fell into such an obvious trap."

The bald man threw away his clothes, revealing his upper body covered with tattoos. He didn't look like a monster trafficking organization from the other world, but rather a gang from the surface world.

"Those guys from Kansai, don't think you can defeat our Edo Group by hiring a foreign thug. Our boss is a vegetarian, but we are not!"

The bald man made a gesture of howling towards the sky, and a wolf howl came out of his mouth. The patterns on his body suddenly came alive and emitted a blood-red light. These seemingly ordinary tattoos were the spells he tattooed on his body. They were directly connected to the veins and blood vessels, greatly reducing the speed of casting spells.

Under Ouyang Sun's gaze, lush white hair grew on the bald man's body, his head became convex and pointed, and his four canine teeth lengthened to form canines. In the blink of an eye, the bald man, who was more than 1.7 meters tall, turned into a 2.2-meter-tall gorilla covered with white hair.

"Come on, foreign thugs from Kansai, I'll show you the terror of the Edo Monkey!"

The bald man pounded his chest and roared at Ouyang Xuan.

"Since you want me to see it, then, why don't you start from the beginning? What are you doing here?"

"Huh?" The bald man stopped moving.

As God knows, Ouyang Xuan and Yang Cai only accepted the commission from a few children, hoping to drive away the evil spirits entrenched in the shrine where they often played. Ouyang Xuan really didn't know what kind of connection or business it was.
