The Finn Manor, Totte Library.
Xu Yi had thrown himself entirely into his "work," and in the evening, he heard the system's prompt.
[Scholar Entries 3, Current Progress: 100/100]
"It's almost like having divine assistance!" Xu Yi took a deep breath,
He had only seven days to study at the Totte Library, so he had to be fully focused, putting in three hundred percent concentration to learn.
In such a state, his learning efficiency skyrocketed like a rocket. In just one afternoon, he had completed the remaining progress for the Scholar Entries.
Xu Yi closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his brain. He didn't know how much ti had passed when he slowly opened his eyes, a light flickering in his pupils.
[Scholar x2: White Epic
Ability 1 - Accelerated Learning:
Your learning speed far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Ability 2 - Multitasking:
You can do two completely different things at the sa ti, like drawing a circle with your left hand and a square with your right with ease.]
After the Scholar Entries stacked, there was even this unexpected gain! Xu Yi felt a bit excited.
The Entries not only reached the "White Epic" level, but he also gained the "Multitasking" ability.
Xu Yi casually synthesized the Hypnosis Entries, rging Psychology and Scholar to create the brand-new "Hypnotism."
This ability, often appearing alongside the "Ti Stop" series, was sothing Xu Yi planned to study carefully. It was then that his stomach started growling.
He hadn't eaten anything all afternoon.
On his way to the dining room, he suddenly heard soone calling his na from behind, "Xu Yi?"
Xu Yi turned around to find Carlyle in a dance dress, standing at the end of the corridor, elegant and graceful.
......
Carrying two plates of food, Xu Yi followed Carlyle.
He had intended to eat in the dining room, but Carlyle said it wouldn't look good for them to eat there since they were "hired hands." So he took two plates of food, planning to head to the place Carlyle had described as "quiet and comfortable" to dine.
Carlyle stopped in front of a door, took out a key, and opened it.
Xu Yi stepped into the room first, curiously looking around, "Is this your boudoir?"
"Of course not! I'm only staying here temporarily until my part-ti job is over, then I'll be leaving." Carlyle locked the door from inside, "I really didn't want to co here because I had to stay here, but..."
Carlyle looked dejected, her brows slightly furrowed.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Xu Yi suddenly laughed, "They offered you too much money, right?"
"Exactly! Being a dance teacher here for a while almost covers the tuition for the new sester." Carlyle suddenly cheered up, "But now that I see you're here, I'm not scared anymore!"
"Why?" Xu Yi asked, intrigued.
"I'm a dance teacher, you're a library administrator; we're both working part-ti jobs here. As long as we stick together, there's absolutely no problem." Carlyle made an energizing gesture.
Xu Yi thought about it for a mont and realized what the Finn family was up to, but he didn't reject the goodwill of the Finn family.
After all, he had entered the Totte Library, and accepting a little kindness didn't seem to matter.
The Evil Deity's whereabouts were unknown, and given its nature to crave high-quality fresh blood, it might target Carlyle. The flesh and blood remnants at Carlyle's aunt's house vividly showcased the word "craving."
He had intended to monitor the situation personally, but the appearance of the Totte Library had disrupted his plans.
With Carlyle turning up here, he could read and study at ease.
"By the way, where will you sleep tonight?" Carlyle suddenly asked.
"They didn't arrange a room for ." Xu Yi chatted with Carlyle while they ate. Indeed, Noss hadn't ntioned anything about it.
"Oh no, that's bad! You're not going to have to sleep in the library, are you?"
Carlyle suddenly exclaid, "I've heard from classmates that they take part-ti jobs at private libraries, and to avoid running back and forth, they just find a corner to lay down a mat and make do for the night... By the way, how many days are you going to work here?"
"Seven days," Xu Yi answered casually.
"Then what are we going to do?" Carlyle frowned in concern, then looked up in confusion, "Isn't your family very rich? Why do you need to take a part-ti job here?"
"To experience life," Xu Yi blurted out an excuse.
"How can you, a young master from a rich family, put up with such hardship!" Carlyle was quite worried.
Xu Yi thought she looked kind of adorable. He didn't say that he could easily find a place to stay, and then he froze.
After much hesitation and struggle, Carlyle finally gritted her teeth, "If you don't mind, you can stay at my place for these few days!"
Xu Yi glanced at the only bed in the room and asked subconsciously, "Together with you?"
Carlyle's cheeks turned slightly red as she hastily explained, "You can sleep on the bed, I'll make do with a spot on the floor."
Xu Yi stared at Carlyle for three seconds, then nodded, "Alright! I really appreciate it, kind and beautiful Ms. Carlyle!"
"Then how are you going to thank ?" Carlyle asked, her face flushed but still trying to maintain composure.

"Payday treat for dinner," Xu Yi replied with a light chuckle.
He chatted with Carlyle, while using his newly acquired "Multitasking" Ability to remotely observe the Ghost Samurai's condition.
Lately, the "Demon Blood Collection Plan" had not been going smoothly. It was unclear whether the monsters were tipping each other off or for so other reason, but Harada Mieko's "Monster Luring" efficiency had drastically decreased, with hardly any monsters being slain recently.
Xu Yi suddenly put down his fork, and looked up sharply, "Carlyle, you speak Japanese, right?"
Carlyle nodded, "When I was learning dance, I had a roommate from Japan. We lived together for five years, and I learned so common phrases from her."
"That's great! Help translate this!" Xu Yi removed the plate and handed paper and a pen to Carlyle.
......
In Japan, within the solemn shrine.
Harada Mieko was dressed in a red witch outfit, sitting cross-legged in the empty hall. She looked stunningly beautiful in the candlelight, a pity that there was no one to appreciate it.
That wasn't entirely true, at least Xu Yi could see her.
A shadowy figure swaggered into the shrine. The feigning Harada Mieko opened her eyes, feeling the powerful aura of the newcor and instinctively gripping the long sword at her waist.
Ever since becoming God's Maid, her family had not only arranged for her to learn swordsmanship, but also educated her in Exorcism Spells.
She was well aware that the shadow in front of her was not sothing she could deal with.
Misty smoke flew out from within her, and a massive figure stood before her. Looking at the majestic Ghost Samurai, Harada Mieko felt an imnse sense of security.
The eyes of the Ghost Samurai lit up with fire, and Xu Yi, now inhabiting the Samurai Armor, looked puzzledly at the shadow in front of him.
It was a snow-white fox, walking upright and about half a person tall.
The fox before him seed quite different from the monsters he had encountered before.
As the Ghost Samurai appeared, the powerful aura around the fox waned like a receding tide. The fox bowed to the Ghost Samurai and spoke human language, "I apologize for using such a trick to et the esteed Ghost Samurai, but it was the only way."
Xu Yi remained silent. Although he had spent his spare ti learning Japanese these days, he had only been learning for so short a ti that he could only understand so simple everyday vocabulary.
He needed to relay it to Carlyle first to have her translate before he could understand what the other party was saying.
Of course, Harada Mieko could convey the aning through a soul connection, but that would be too risky, giving away the fact that a Japanese deity did not understand Japanese?
Seeing no response from the Ghost Samurai, the white fox didn't seem to mind and continued, "Let introduce myself. My na is Arakawa, I am an Onmyoji, and this fox is my Shikigami. I apologize for not being able to visit in person."
No wonder the other party felt so strange to him—it was a Shikigami. Xu Yi eyed the figure suspiciously, wondering what the other was plotting.
"To express my apologies, I've brought a gift this ti," said the white fox, as it snapped its fingers like a human.
At the snap, a burst of red smoke erupted. As the smoke gradually cleared, a tallic cage appeared at the fox's feet.
Xu Yi looked in surprise at the contents of the cage—it was the monster "Cyclops"!
