My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hijiri Byakuren was staring blankly out the window.

……

"Oh no, no..."

The woman, who had cheated on him with two men—or possibly more—clung tightly to the man in front of her, and the story seemed to have no end in sight.

It has to be said that the monster she seduced was indeed blond; hair color really does matter.

Li Wei was unfazed; even ordinary people in modern times wouldn't be too surprised by this kind of movie plot. However, Yamabuki Otome, as an ancient demon, was clearly shocked, to the point that her body felt ethereal and she almost had to break free from the demon's entanglement.

This is not possible!

Li Wei didn't care about anything else and hugged the phantom of Yamabuki-nee wrapped around him tightly: "Hold on a little longer, or we'll be exposed if we cancel the ghost binding now."

"Hmm..." Yamabuki gritted her teeth and buried her head tightly in Li Wei's arms, trying her best to ignore the panting sounds pouring into her ears.

……

"Why haven't they come back yet? Could they have run into danger?"

On the other side, Saint Byakuren was a little restless and grabbed a handful of snacks.

"Hmm? This tastes pretty good."

……

"Oh..." As the two adulterers sighed leisurely, Li Wei and Yamabuki Otome also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, although it was a bit difficult, it's finally over.

"You bitch, I knew you weren't up to any good by coming with me." The blond monster, satisfied, put his clothes back on. "When you go on your date with Daiki-kun later, you're not allowed to spill a single drop, you hear me?"

"Ah."

I'm really worried about that guy named Da Hui. You've fallen in love with a wild horse, and now you're living on a vast grassland.

As the blond-haired man closed the door and left, only the dressed banshee lying on the floor and the boy tightly embracing each other remained in the room.

Actually, maintaining a close bond doesn't require such a tight embrace, but perhaps it was unintentional, or perhaps it was a deliberate slip-up. In any case, the two are in a good mood right now and show no intention of separating anytime soon.

Li Wei could easily smell the faint, refreshing scent of yakuri florets emanating from the sweat-soaked clothes of the female ghost in his arms, a scent that moved him deeply.

Regardless, it's finally over. Go back now.

At this point, Yamabuki Otome had lost her ability to move. Her body was weak and boneless, and she could only lean on Li Wei, letting him carry her away like a child.

It was at this moment that the door was pushed open again, and this time the guy who hadn't appeared in the trio appeared—that is, "Daiki-kun".

"How about it?"

"It's over, my dear Daiki-kun." The woman, caught cheating by her boyfriend, showed no panic: "What a pervert. Or should I say, his true form is indeed a cuckoo?"

Have you taken proper protective measures?

"Don't worry, he'll think the child is his."

"I can rest assured that."

Li Wei: "..."

The cuckoo is a bird that likes to lay its eggs in other birds' nests, letting other birds raise its offspring. After hatching, the baby cuckoo will push the original chicks out of the nest and kill them, which is called "cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest".

Although this guy named Daiki has become a monster, his behavior hasn't changed much. After he lets his mate replenish his magic with other males, those males who have had relations with him will think that the child born is their own and will subconsciously help raise it.

It might seem like he was cheating on himself, but he did actually gain something from it.

Yamabuki Otome: "......!!!???"

If her previous behavior was merely somewhat unacceptable, what was happening now had far exceeded her moral compass, to the point that she instinctively wanted to shout it out.

"Woo——"

So Li Wei stopped her from uttering a cry of surprise.

Volume 6: Chapter 25 Sesshouin, you're truly a persistent ghost.

P.S.: Chapter 24 was banned before it could be posted, and the reviewers even went off duty. I'll post Chapter 25 first...

"Hahaha, you're back—hiccup~"

When the two, whose expressions were somewhat subtle, returned to their room, they were shocked to see Hijiri Byakuren sitting on the tatami mat, looking dazed and completely unlike a monk.

Her face was flushed, but unlike the shy blush of Yamabuki-nee beside her, this was clearly due to excessive alcohol consumption.

"If you hadn't come back soon, I would have come looking for you myself. Looks like the operation was a great success." The monk chuckled. "I knew it would be fine from the start. After all, you're the kids I've been eyeing. My judgment is always spot on."

Your judgment is completely inaccurate, and so is Kikyo's.

"You've been drinking?" Li Wei was more concerned about this than the criticism.

Depending on their respective schools, Japanese monks are allowed to eat meat and drink alcohol, and some can even marry and have children. However, it seems that Shō Byakuren is not among them.

Kikyo had told him that this master was a monk who strictly adhered to the rules and regulations and would never kill unless absolutely necessary.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could this humble monk possibly drink alcohol? That would be contrary to the Buddha's teachings." Sure enough, the other party said this, sounding somewhat angry.

"Isn't it said that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart?"

"His second half of the sentence is: If people follow my example, they will be on the path of demons."

Great, she communicates without any language barriers, so she seems to be just slightly drunk. Since she hasn't been drinking, there's only one possibility left.

The large piles of alcohol-filled chocolate wrappers on the ground constantly asserted their presence, proving that the monks indeed strictly adhered to the rules and regulations.

"So, did you get the stuff?"

"Of course, no problem, the operation went smoothly." Master, why do you talk like a bandit? Is it because you're drunk and that's why you've revealed your true nature?

Fortunately, through his daily interactions with Hiratsuka Shizuka, Li Wei had accumulated a great deal of experience, making him adept at handling this kind of drunken older woman.

You just need to go along with her and not argue with her. Once she falls asleep, she'll remember nothing when she wakes up the next day.

"You brat, I see you have great potential. Why don't you join my Minglian Temple? I'll definitely train you to become a great and accomplished monk."

“I appreciate your kindness, but I am a Confucian disciple, and I think it would be very ungentlemanly for me to join Buddhism, so I’d better not.”

"Oh, what a pity. Don't you like the huge size of Myouren Temple? And there aren't so many rules and regulations. You can marry Kikyo without any problems."

"Well said, please allow me to refuse." The idea that someone with innate wisdom should be converted to Buddhism is ridiculous. The most insightful person he'd ever met was Sesshouin Kiara. He thought, "Why don't you try converting her to Buddhism?"

"Oh."

Saint Byakuren seemed quite disappointed, but being a highly accomplished and accomplished monk, he did not persist.

Hiratsuka-nee, you should learn from her.

……

That's pretty much it. When it was time to rest at night, the three of them naturally slept separately.

Li Wei was having some trouble sleeping; he hadn't figured out what to do if he had a conflict with Sister Fox.

It's impossible for him to kill a woman without remorse. Kama was right before; he's a person with mysophobia, and he can't stand idly by if he's had a relationship with any girl.

If she really did something heinous, then arrest the fox sister and send her to the Ruri Shrine to suppress her. Try to change her little by little, even if it's difficult.

That's when.

"Hmm?" Not far away, the two girls who were sleeping together seemed to be making some strange noises.

Immediately afterwards, the monk, who should have been asleep after getting drunk, staggered to his feet and slowly approached him.

By the bright moonlight, Li Wei could see that Saint Byakuren had no expression and her eyes were closed, which did not look like she was getting up to use the toilet at night.

"Does she also have a habit of sleepwalking?"

As a doctor, the young man could naturally see her condition; though surprised, it wasn't anything to be astonished about. He just needed to be careful not to let her get hurt.

Finally, when the monk stopped in front of him, their faces less than ten centimeters apart, Li Wei asked, somewhat bewildered, "Aunt Lian? Are you alright?"

The boy called out instinctively, and at the same time, Saint Byakuren reached out and almost impatiently hugged him.

"???" Feeling slightly strange, Li Wei reached out to try and find a more comfortable position. But the sleepwalking monk was surprisingly strong, and he couldn't move him.

"Ah, it's Avi." Slowly opening her eyes, Lian's mother smiled happily, then suddenly opened her mouth and bit Li Wei's ear. The force was just right, a little pain quickly turning into pleasure, as if some kind of venom had been injected, making the boy's body go limp.

No, this was not an illusion. Li Wei was surprised to find that he was indeed weak and powerless, and his body was unable to resist.

Like prey caught in a hunter's trap, all its struggles are in vain.

At the same time, a very intoxicating fragrance gradually emanated from Saint Byakuren's body. The scent was somewhat familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.

"No, you're not Saint..."

Li Wei finally realized something was wrong, but by then he had lost the ability to resist. "Saint White Lotus" opened her arms, holding him tightly in her embrace, and kissed the boy's lips deeply, wantonly plundering the magic power within him. The boy felt that the other's body was like a cavern, impossible to fill.

Under such unrestrained exploitation, Li Wei's eyes lost their light, and he slumped unconscious in the other's arms, seemingly at the mercy of others.

"You little rascal, do you hate your older sister that much? You were the one who created you."

"Saint Byakuren," or more accurately, her name should be Sesshouin Kiara, said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "She actually used the angels created by that woman to banish my sister. It took a lot of effort to find her this time. She absorbed countless versions of herself from different timelines before she was able to find her."

"Logically, your sister should have completely absorbed and corrupted you, but there was a slight mishap." She said, "I accidentally absorbed one of my past selves from another timeline that you had conquered. Now, your sister can't bear to hurt you. What do you think we should do?"

It was at this moment that Yamabuki Otome, who had also discovered the problem, got up, her body trembling.

"You...I don't know who you are, please let him go immediately..."

Although every cell in her body was screaming that the best course of action was to play dead, she made an almost foolish choice when she realized the boy was in danger.

I really don't know whether to call her foolish or courageous.

"Hmph, you've already hooked up with a new girl the moment we met? Just as you'd do." Sesshouin simply waved his hand, and Yamabuki Otome's eyes immediately went blank, completely under his control.

"Since that's the case, I'll mark you first." The beast of love and desire licked its lips seductively: "Sister will taste you first."

Volume 6: Chapter 26 Long Time No See, Sister Fox

When Li Wei woke up the next morning, his head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! What happened last night? I can't remember!"

His limbs were weak, and his waist and legs ached. It was as if he had been run over by a hundred married women and then thrown into the basement by Morgan to replenish his mana for a month, but his mana was not reduced at all.

Even if all three of them worked together, they wouldn't have exhausted themselves to this extent in just one night.

Could it be a stiff neck?

"Ouch, it hurts so much! What happened last night?"

The one saying the same thing was undoubtedly Saint Byakuren, who had somehow ended up in Li Wei's bed. She was also clutching her head, which was throbbing with pain, and quickly realized the problem: "Hey, how did I end up here?"

I quickly checked all parts of my body and breathed a sigh of relief when I found that nothing had happened.

Come to think of it, this is the man Kikyo has her eye on, a handsome young man who is both kind and courteous, how could he do anything out of line? We should trust our own and Kikyo's judgment!

"Hey, Lian Ma, your mouth," the boy whispered a reminder.

"Oh." The monk readily wiped his mouth, noticing a dried trace of liquid: "Strange, I don't drool in my sleep."

And the liquid tastes a bit strange.

After doing all this, Saint Byakuren sat up again and scrutinized the boy in front of him with a critical eye, a look that made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Is there something wrong with me?

"From an appearance standpoint, there's nothing wrong with it, but the temperament and feeling are completely different."

"Charm and feeling?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's your body that suddenly has a strong attraction to me. I always unconsciously want to get closer to you, but the magic within me is warning me that I should blast you to smithereens with a single beam of light."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"It's that exaggerated. It's as if you suddenly awakened to become the chosen one of the Demon King Mara and the Fallen Saint. Is it just my imagination?"

"Anyway, let's not dwell on these things. We still have important business to attend to today." You might as well say I'm the chosen one of Brother Kong and Brother Meng; I'd be happier that way.

Meanwhile, Yamabuki Otome, who also felt a headache, woke up with absolutely no memory of last night, indicating that she had slept very well.

In short, without dwelling on the topic any longer, the three of them tidied themselves up, put on more formal attire, and headed towards the palace where demons resided.

The invitation was a perfect imitation; no one could tell there was anything wrong with it. The skill Oberon had taught him to forge documents finally came in handy. Indeed, a chef has his talents, and an emperor has his. This was a real-life demonstration of petty thievery.
