However, he would be helpless against ghost-type monsters like earthbound spirits, which are ethereal and difficult to physically harm.

The [Foxfire Technique] came at just the right time, making up for his weakness and giving him another reliable means of combat.

Although Tamamo-no-Mae said its power was ordinary, since it was something a great yokai had taken out, it must be quite powerful.

Su You responded in her heart: "Xiao Yu, I want to learn this."

Tamamo-no-Mae chuckled softly: "Since Master has this intention, then after we return, I will teach you this technique in detail."

"Ah."

After Miss Bachi told Su You everything he needed to know, he took out his phone to check the time. It was almost 5 p.m., time to go back.

Inside the office.

Yukino Fuyuki is working overtime to finish up the "demon exorcism plan" from last night.

Sadako's face suddenly appeared on the computer screen in front of her.

"It's deep winter. Ba Chi and that young man Su You just checked into a hotel! They just left!"

Yukino Fuyuki asked calmly, "What happened?"

Seeing that she wasn't falling for it, Sadako got a little bored and said, "Yachi transferred all the contribution points he had saved to Su You. He bought two bottles of enhancement potions and took them in a rest room."

Yukino Fuyuki nodded and said, "It seems he's preparing to try taking on a mission."

Sadako tapped the corner of her lips with her finger and said, "After all, we're at that rebellious age, how can we resist something like this? By the way, do you want to see his employment report?"

Yukino Fuyuki thought for a moment and said, "Let's see."

A table appeared on the screen.

Yukino Fuyuki spotted it immediately: [Specialty: Great strength].

"..."

There wasn't really a problem, after all, he had just drunk two bottles of enhancement potion in the afternoon, so his strength was indeed much greater than that of an ordinary person.

Yukino Fuyuki closed the spreadsheet and continued working overtime.

Inside Su You's bedroom, the curtains were drawn.

Tamamo-no-Mae gracefully emerged from the contract mark on the back of his hand.

Her expression was serious, and a touch of pink, beautiful light gathered at her fingertips.

“Master, I will now teach you the [Foxfire Technique].

As she spoke, her slender fingers lightly touched Su You's brow, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The pink light instantly entered his forehead, and a cool and strange flow of information surged into his mind.

Almost at the same time, a clear, audible "ding" system notification sound rang out deep within his consciousness.

A moment later, Su You slowly opened her eyes, her expression somewhat subtle and strange.

Seeing this, Tamamo-no-Mae assumed that he was new to magic and had difficulty understanding it, so she softened her voice and comforted him, "Master has never been exposed to Yin-Yang magic before, so it's normal that you can't understand the key points. Don't be impatient, I will explain it to you in detail..."

Su You interrupted her, saying, "No, Xiaoyu... I think I've already learned it."

Tamamo-no-Mae's comforting words came to an abrupt halt, a moment of bewilderment and shock appearing on her exquisite face: "Ah? Master... you've already learned it?"

Su You nodded firmly: "Yes."

Without saying a word, he followed the crystal-clear instinct in his mind and slowly raised his right hand. With a single thought, a beautiful, leaping pink flame suddenly ignited above his palm with a "poof".

The flames were not scorching; instead, they exuded a strange and alluring aura that captivated the soul.

Tamamo-no-Mae's crimson pupils contracted slightly, her face filled with disbelief. She murmured unconsciously, "How could this be... This technique, though not a closely guarded secret, is certainly not something that can be mastered overnight... Could it be that you, Master... are actually a fox in disguise?"

Su You remained silent for a moment, expressionless, and then said, "...Xiao Yu, is it possible that I, your master, am actually a one-in-a-million genius in magic?"

Tamamo-no-Mae also fell silent. She scrutinized Su You for several seconds with a new, inquisitive gaze before seemingly accepting the explanation with a hint of reluctance.

Her tone returned to normal, but with a hint of solemnity: "Perhaps... Since Master has already mastered it, it saves me some trouble. However, the foxfire that Master is currently wielding originates from my innate demonic power. Although it has the power to bewitch minds, it is also very easy for others to see through it and thus associate it with my existence. Therefore, unless necessary, please try to use it less in front of outsiders."

She paused, then raised her hand again.

"I will teach you another method of transformation, which can convert this special nine-tailed foxfire into a more common ordinary foxfire. Although its power will be greatly reduced and its charm effect will disappear, it will greatly reduce the risk of exposure, so you can use it with peace of mind."

As she spoke, she lightly touched Su You's brow with her fingertip again. Another stream of information flowed in, accompanied by a system notification sound.

Su You appeared to be comprehending something, but in reality, with a slight thought, she opened the system panel in front of her that only she could see.

He saw two brand new entries in the skills panel:

【Foxfire - Nine-Tailed Fox】.

【Foxfire】.

He tried using his second skill, and the alluring pink flame in his palm quickly faded and transformed, eventually becoming an orange-red fireball that looked no different from an ordinary flame.

Although it still radiates heat and psionic energy, that captivating and strange feeling has vanished without a trace.

"Xiaoyu, I can do this too."

Looking at the two flames that changed freely in Su You's palm, Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to finally accept the fact that he was a genius in magic:

"It's such a pity that Master has such amazing talent. If Master had started cultivating from a young age, he would have become a great Onmyoji by now."

Su You extinguished the flames in her hand and said with a smile, "There's nothing to regret. It's never too late to start learning. Okay, I'm going to the kitchen to cook."

Tamamo-no-Mae watched him walk out of the bedroom door, then suddenly chuckled softly:

"That's true. On the path of cultivation, one's character is more important than talent..."

in the kitchen.

Su You opened the system panel again, looking at the two newly appeared skills with a thoughtful expression.

When Tamamo-no-Mae was teaching him the spell, she did not do so verbally or through demonstration, but rather directly transmitted the relevant content to his soul through a contractual connection.

This feeling of suddenly having some unfamiliar knowledge in his mind was very similar to the feeling he had when he used the [Bright Eyesight Exercise] skill book before.

The system also identified this method as him using a skill book.

So, before he could even react, he had already fully mastered a new spell skill.

"Let's cook first, then ask Xiaoyu if she has any other spells, and then we can test them."

The aroma of food gradually wafted from the kitchen.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Su You's cooking process.

It must be Miss Hachisho.

I haven't given her the blessing coins for today yet.

As Su You walked out of the kitchen, she spoke to Tamamo-no-Mae through the contract: "Tamamo-no-Mae, come back quickly, Miss Hachisaku is here."

A barely perceptible pink light flashed by, and Tamamo-no-Mae transformed into a phantom image, disappearing into the contract mark on the back of his hand.

Su You wiped her hands, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

Sure enough, standing outside the door was the graceful, eight-foot-tall Miss Ba Chi, with a gentle smile.

"Come in quickly, Miss Hachikatsu."

"Yes, sorry to bother you, Su Jun."

Miss Bachi nodded slightly, walked into the house with practiced ease, and closed the door behind her with a natural, fluid motion, as if she were returning to her own home.

Su You took out three blessing coins from her pocket and was about to hand them over.

Just then, a voice from deep within his mind, as if Tamamo-no-Mae had been spooked, suddenly exploded:

"Master! What are you doing?! Why are you giving her such a good thing?!"

"Because Miss Yasakatsu is injured and needs it to recover, I promised her before."

"I'm injured too! I need help too!"

"Miss Bachi also helps me with housework every day."

"I helped you wash the dishes at noon too! I can do housework too! I can do it better than her!"

"Miss Yatachi would hold me while I slept at night, helping me to quickly regain my energy."

"..."

These words left Tamamo-no-Mae speechless, unable to utter a reply.

She simply cannot do that; her instincts are to take, not give.

If she were to sleep with Su You in her arms, Su You would only feel more tired the next day, and might not even be able to get out of bed.

Sensing the intense, stifling resentment emanating from the other end of the contract, Su You smiled inwardly and said:

"Give her what she deserves, and I won't shortchange you."

Tamamo-no-Mae thought to herself: If I give it to her, won't I get less? All these good things should have been mine! They should all be mine!

These contractual exchanges occurred in the blink of an eye. In reality, Su You calmly handed three blessing coins to Miss Ba Chi.

Miss Ba Chi smiled gently and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Su."

She took the coin, elegantly put it in her mouth, and a crisp, pleasant "crunch" sound followed. A look of enjoyment appeared on her face, as if she were chewing the most delicious cookie.

The voice was clearly transmitted to Tamamo-no-Mae through the contract, making her grind her teeth in the imprint space, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

After consuming the blessing coins, part of the Western-style hat on Miss Bachi's head automatically returned to its original position, and her complexion improved as well.

She went to the bathroom very naturally, took out a mop, and began to skillfully mop the floor for Su You, looking every bit the virtuous wife.

This action further alarmed Tamamo-no-Mae.

That wild goddess! She's so good at capturing men's hearts! She puts on such a gentle, considerate, and devoted act! No, I have to be wary of her! If my master really falls for her act, how much of that good stuff will be left for me? Probably not even a trace!

Miss Hachi, who was concentrating on mopping the floor, suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked around with some confusion. A faint, inexplicable chill made her shiver.

Miss Eight Feet murmured to herself, "Is it just my imagination?"

She didn't notice anything unusual, so she could only shake her head and continue her work, making a pleasant "po" sound all the while.

Because there was a lady named Yashiro living at home, Su You couldn't invite Tamamo-no-Mae to come out and eat with them.

He could only put her meal in his inventory and then give it to her to eat.

Fortunately, the inventory has a "locked" effect, so the food won't get cold.

After finishing her meal, Miss Hachi went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

Su You went to her bedroom to do her homework for a while. After Miss Ba Chi finished washing the dishes, the two of them sat in the living room and drank a cup of tea. Then Su You prepared to go out.

"Is Su Jun going to the gym to work out?"

"Hmm, my body has been suddenly strengthened; I need some time to adjust."

"Then I'll wait for you to come home at home that night?"

"Ok."

Miss Yachi stood at the door, straightened his clothes, and gently watched him leave.

"Master, please don't be deceived by that wild god."

"Ms. Hachisaku and I are just good friends."

"That's just what you think, Master. She might not think that way..."

"Alright, let's find a quiet place for you to eat first."

Su You rode her bicycle to a secluded, deserted corner.

Now that his physical abilities have been enhanced, he has various equipment, and he has also formed a contract with Tamamo-no-Mae, he no longer needs to worry about the security issues in Beika Town.

He took out the food he had left for her that evening. Although Xiaoyu was a little upset, she didn't make a fuss about the food.

Su You glanced at her and noticed that she looked quite elegant even while squatting to eat.

He withdrew his gaze, took two steps away, and began practicing the [Foxfire] technique.

The simplest way to use it is to throw it at people.

However, doing so makes it easy for the enemy to evade.

It seems that some new attack methods can be developed.
