Using the perception effect of [The Curator's Malice] and the keen reaction of the ancient Qingjiang in Katsura Kotonoha's hand to spirits, Su You and Katsura Kotonoha carefully searched the entire cemetery again, confirming that apart from the evil spirit that had just been killed, there were no other abnormal spirit auras.
Su You asked Xiao Yu again, and only after receiving a definite answer from her did she return to the tomb keeper's simple office.
Inside the office, the gravedigger was fidgeting, his face filled with anxiety, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.
The sudden knocking startled him, and he shuddered. Only when he heard Su You's gentle voice did he feel as if he had heard a voice of salvation, and he scrambled to open the door.
"Gentlemen, how is the situation?" he asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly.
Su You nodded to him and said in a reassuring tone, "Uncle, the paranormal events here have been dealt with, and the evil spirits causing trouble have been eliminated."
The gravedigger's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "R-really? From now on... from now on, we won't hear those terrible crying and laughing sounds at night anymore, right? And there won't be those wet footprints on the ground anymore?"
“Yes,” Su You replied affirmatively. “There won’t be any more for a while. However…”
The middle-aged man quickly pressed on, "But what?"
Su You reminded him, "This cemetery has a heavy yin energy, especially in those abandoned areas deep inside. Uncle, you'd better find someone to clear the weeds as soon as possible to keep the environment clean and sunny. Otherwise, over the years, similar things may still grow."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's body jolted, and he nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, okay! I'll definitely do it! Tomorrow, no, I'll go and contact someone to weed! As long as that damn thing doesn't appear again, I'll do anything you ask!"
"Well then, we'll take our leave now."
"Please take care, everyone!"
After leaving the cemetery, Su You drove back to headquarters.
He first submitted the cemetery quest he had just completed, and then accepted two new quests from the quest list, intending to solve them with Kotonoha tomorrow.
It was almost evening when I left headquarters.
As Su You drove, he asked Katsura Kotonoha, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Kotonoha, how does it feel to be on your first mission today?"
Katsura Kotonoha thought for a moment and replied softly, "It feels... very novel and interesting."
Su You's gaze fell again on the ancient Qingjiang katana that she had placed on her lap.
Today he finally witnessed firsthand the power of Katsura Kotonoha's sword-drawing technique.
With the added advantage of high agility, it not only deals massive damage but is also aesthetically pleasing, full of rhythmic blending of power and skill.
Su You recalled a topic she had discussed with Kotoha before and asked, "By the way, Kotoha, you mentioned last time that you learned your swordsmanship at the Busujima-ryu dojo?"
Katsura Kotonoha nodded in confirmation: "Yes, Su-kun is also interested in swordsmanship. Do you want to learn it?"
"I do have this thought. I wonder what the teaching rules are like at the Busujima-ryu Dojo? Is it difficult to get started?"
Katsura Kotonoha thought for a moment and said, "If you are just starting out as an ordinary disciple, you can pay the corresponding tuition fee. How much you learn after that depends entirely on your own efforts and talent."
Su You understood; this was similar to the typical kendo dojo model he was familiar with.
"Kotoha, how about we finish the two new missions we took on tomorrow morning, and then go to the Busujima Dojo together in the afternoon to check on things?"
Upon hearing this, Katsura Kotonoha replied in a gentle tone, "Okay, it's been a while since I've visited my master and senior brothers and sisters at the dojo. This is a good opportunity to see Saeko-neechan."
"Saeko-neechan?" Su You's heart skipped a beat, but she calmly pressed on, "Who is she?"
“She’s Saeko Busujima, the daughter of the Dojo Master.” Katsura Kotonoha introduced, her tone tinged with admiration. “She’s a year older than me, and we used to train together at the dojo. Saeko-neechan is very hardworking and has an extremely high talent for swordsmanship; she’s a recognized genius in our dojo.”
"It really is Saeko Busujima's dojo." Su You confirmed this information in his heart. He nodded and said with curiosity in his tone, "Really? She actually received such high praise from you, Kotoha. Then I'll have to see for myself tomorrow."
The car stopped, and Su You drove Kotonoha and Tamamo-no-Mae to Kotonoha's house.
After saying goodbye, Su You put the car away. After all, without Xiao Yu's illusion magic to conceal it, it was better not to be too conspicuous.
He took out the bicycle, let the zashiki-warashi sit on the back seat, and rode away.
On the way, he bought some vegetables and picked up some colorless small crystals.
Back at the apartment, Su You had just stepped through the door when she heard a somewhat familiar, mature, and languid female voice coming from the front:
"Su Jun, you're back."
Su You looked up at the sound and saw a beautiful woman exuding a captivating aura standing at the landlady's door, looking at him with a charming and alluring smile.
Although the other person had grown much taller and more mature, some familiar traces could still be seen in their face.
"You are... Miss Sayuri?"
"You guessed right, Su Jun."
Chapter 100 The Witch's Divination (4K)
Xiaobaihe looked at Su You and said with a light laugh, "Su Jun must have a lot of questions in his mind right now, right? Why don't you come to my house and have a chat?"
Her voice was seductive, as if it possessed a kind of reassuring magic that made people want to believe.
However, for Su You, who had already experienced Tamamo-no-Mae's natural and sophisticated allure, Sayuri's rudimentary allure, which relied more on voice and posture, seemed somewhat deliberate and inadequate.
Moreover, Su You was wearing a necklace on his chest that could increase his mental resistance, which could help him resist it.
Furthermore, in Su You's view at this moment, the desire emanating from Miss Xiaobaihe was excessively intense.
In this situation, if he were to go to her house with her, it might not just be a casual visit, but something more.
Despite having the "First Blood" title effect, Su You was not afraid at all, even if the opponent was a succubus.
But this sudden, ambiguous invitation always makes people feel that something is wrong.
Su You shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiaobaihe, I'm not very curious about your secret. We've been running around all day and are a little tired, so let's go back and rest."
After saying that, Su You, along with the Zashiki-warashi who was tightly clutching his clothes, pushed the bicycle into the stairwell and went upstairs.
Xiaobaihe stood there, looking at the empty stairwell, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, a hint of surprise and confusion showing on her charming face.
This...this isn't what I expected...
Her seemingly casual invitation just now actually involved a subtle use of a succubus's innate abilities.
It wasn't a forceful mental control, but rather a subtle suggestion and temptation that was enough to make a young man like Su You, who had just entered the inner world and had ordinary mental strength, find it hard to resist.
He should have readily agreed to his request.
Su You's rejection was too decisive, and his eyes were clear and his tone was calm, showing no signs of being charmed at all.
Could it be that Zashiki-warashi is causing the disturbance?
Xiaobaihe immediately denied this guess.
Impossible. Zashiki-warashi's abilities are geared towards good fortune and peace in the home. I've never heard of a Zashiki-warashi being able to resist charm.
Perhaps, it was a gift from the eight-foot frame to him?
Little Lily couldn't quite understand it.
She turned and went back to her home, feeling a little annoyed.
She walked up to the large, luxurious sofa in the living room and slumped back on it, feeling somewhat powerless.
With this relaxed movement, the intense allure emanating from her receded like a tide, and her tall, seductive figure began to shrink at a visible rate.
Within seconds, Sayuri transformed back into her petite, elementary school-aged form.
"call……"
She let out a long sigh, raised her slightly childish face with an expression that belied her mature appearance, and looked at the ceiling.
"Maintaining that complete form is still too taxing. This is easier..."
Without access to essential nutrients, one should naturally try to save as much as possible.
When Xiaobaihe recalled Su You's appearance just now, her eyes became somewhat complicated again.
Su Jun seems to have become even more handsome than he did a couple of days ago, and his attractiveness is even more pronounced.
Clearly, he is hiding some secret.
Judging from Su Jun's wary look just now, he probably already knows his true identity.
Little Lily couldn't help but pout, thinking somewhat resentfully:
It must have been either Hachika or Yukino Fuyuki, that ice-cold-faced guy, who told him! He was warning him to be careful of me, not to trust me, or something like that…
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and mutter to herself angrily like a child:
"Tsk! What's wrong with succubi?! Stereotypes are really harmful! Who says succubi can't have pure love stories?..."
After venting her frustrations, Sayuri lay down on the sofa and slowly calmed down.
She reached for her phone on the coffee table, swiped her finger across the screen, and quickly found a contact whose name was "Witch".
That was a cross-border number.
Xiaobaihe hesitated slightly, but still pressed the dial button.
The phone rang for more than ten seconds before being answered. A female voice, sounding languid as if she had just woken up, yet also mysterious and magnetic, came from the other end: "Ha, good morning, Lily."
Little Lily glanced at the dusk that had already fallen outside the window and corrected, "It's nighttime here."
"Oh, I forgot you're abroad now, there's a time difference."
The other person chuckled softly and asked.
"How's your vacation abroad going? Are you enjoying it?"
Xiaobaihe shifted to a more comfortable position on the sofa, resting her slender legs on the armrests and gently swinging her small feet. She said softly, "It's alright, at least much more comfortable than before."
"Then it seems my divination was correct." The sound of a spoon stirring a coffee cup came from across the table.
Xiaobaihe gave a noncommittal "hmm," and then said, "So, I want you to do another divination for me."
"Oh?" The voice on the other end showed a hint of interest, and the sound of stirring the cup stopped abruptly. "What do you want to divine this time?"
Little Lily squinted her eyes and slowly said, "I want you to divine my love life."
“Puff—cough cough!”
The person on the other end seemed to choke suddenly, then burst into a joyful and exaggerated laugh.
"Hahaha! You finally couldn't hold back, huh? I told you before, the longer you suppress your true nature, the more severe the outburst will be..."
Little Lily was a little annoyed: "Stop nagging! Hurry up and do my divination! I need the result within ten minutes."
"Ten minutes? That's a bit too rushed. I'm still enjoying my coffee and bread."
"I'll pay double the price."
Xiaobaihe increased her bet without hesitation.
The crisp sound of a cup being set down came from the other end of the phone, and the tone instantly became professional and efficient: "Rest assured, esteemed Ms. Lily! I will perform a divination for you right away! I will give you an answer in ten minutes!"
The call was abruptly ended.
"What a greedy fellow..."
As Xiaobaihe listened to the busy tone coming from her phone, she couldn't help but mutter something under her breath, but a slight smile appeared on her lips.
For her, things that can be solved with money are the simplest.
Meanwhile, somewhere abroad.
Inside a witch's workshop, filled with medieval style, strange glassware, drying odd herbs, and a complex herbal aroma.
A graceful, mature woman wearing a signature pointed wide-brimmed witch's hat and a deep purple dress put down her half-finished coffee, pushed aside her plate, and stood up elegantly.
She walked past a workbench filled with various potion ingredients and semi-finished products, pushed open a wooden door inlaid with moonstone, and entered a private divination room.
The divination room was dimly lit, with only a few crystal lamps emitting a soft glow.
A star chart hangs on the wall, and a brass planetarium, an old-fashioned magic book, tarot cards, and various divination tools whose names I don't know are casually placed on the table.
A faint, lingering scent of magic filled the air.
She walked to the obsidian table in the center, casually pushed aside other clutter, and placed a crystal ball the size of a football, crystal clear, neatly on the tabletop covered with black velvet.
She stretched out her slender hands and gently covered the smooth surface of the crystal ball. She closed her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and began to chant an ancient and obscure incantation in a low voice.
As she chanted, a milky-white mist, like a nebula, began to fill the inside of the crystal ball. The mist slowly rotated, with specks of light twinkling within it, as if it contained a miniature universe.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and the spinning speed increased.
At one point, the fog suddenly dissipated completely.
In the center of the crystal ball, a face clearly appeared—it was Su You's appearance.
The witch opened her eyes, carefully examining the image appearing in the crystal ball. Her fingers traced the surface of the ball with interest as she muttered to herself, "Is it him? He looks very young, quite handsome, and his physique seems strong... but he's with a succubus..."
She shook her head, a slightly regretful smile on her face.
