Asuka Seii bowed gratefully:
"Thank you, Great Evil Demon King!
Thank you, Great Evil Demon King for rembering the descendants of Seii!"
’Ring ring ring.’
Asuka Seii’s phone rang at an inopportune mont.
Asuka Seii wanted to slap herself.
Even in company etings, she had to mute her phone; why didn’t she mute it when eting the Great Evil Demon King!
This call, holding her phone feels wrong, letting it ring feels wrong too.
The Three-headed Hellhound spoke:
"You can go out."
Asuka Seii, feeling relieved, stood up, bowed, and made her exit with tiny steps.
After Asuka Seii left, the Three-headed Hellhound transford back into his wild man appearance, smiling as he looked at Madam Bai:
"How do you find it, madam, imposing enough?"
Madam Bai stepped forward and grabbed Xiaohai’s ear:
"Have you taken a fancy to that girl, which is why you gave her Extraordinary Power for free?"
Xiaohai wasn’t in pain, but he was tender towards his wife.
He pretended to be in pain, grimacing and continually pleading:
"I didn’t give it for free, madam. Giving her Extraordinary Power is beneficial to us, beneficial!"
Xiaohai had his own plans.
Madam Bai humphs cutely, arms folded:
"But you haven’t said, have you taken a liking to that girl?"
Xiaohai scratched his head:
"No."
Madam Bai said:
"It’s not an issue if you like her; what head wolf doesn’t have all the females of the pack?
But you must rember, I am the main wife, and I will always hold a higher status than your other won!"
Xiaohai was stunned.
That understanding?
Madam Bai is a wolf, not like humans; she gets jealous but won’t hinder Wolf King’s reproduction.
...
In the courtyard, Asuka received the call, still from her uncle.
Uncle said:
"Asuka, let be honest with you.
The Sheriff’s Departnt plans to buy Seii Shrine.
I will help you get a high price, but you’ll need to give a cut."
The reason Uncle lowered his posture was regretting sending people to set fire yesterday.
He originally thought the Sheriff’s Departnt was interested in Seii Shrine’s land, but the Sheriff’s Departnt said the things inside Seii Shrine are far more important than the land itself.
Luckily, the fire at Seii Shrine was extinguished last night; if it had burned down, he’d be a big criminal.
Uncle lowered his posture just to keep Asuka from ntioning the arson incident.
Uncle thought that for a worthless Seii Shrine, a high-price offer from the Sheriff’s Departnt wouldn’t be refused by Asuka unless she was a fool.
Asuka, with a bit of disgust, said:
"I won’t sell Seii Shrine."
Uncle tried to persuade sincerely:
"What are you doing holding onto a pile of broken stone statues?
That broken shrine doesn’t even have tourists visiting.
What will you rely on for food in the future?
Sell it for a good price now, and you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life.
You don’t really believe there are Yin Yang Masters in the world, do you?
Don’t be like your father, who dread of becoming a Yin Yang Master all his life but died not knowing what a demon looks like."
Asuka fell silent.
Poor father, who so loved demons.
Now the Great Demon is in the room, but he can’t see it.
Asuka wiped her tears and said softly:
"There are Yin Yang Masters in this world, and there are demons, because I have already beco a witch."
Uncle was montarily stunned, then hurriedly said:
"You’re really insane, even becoming a witch?
You’re crazier than your dad and will eventually end up in a ntal hospital."
Asuka said:
"No matter how, I will not sell Seii Shrine.
I can forget about your arson act as a token of gratitude for taking in when father was critically ill.
In the future, our families will have no relation."
Uncle sighed:
"In the afternoon, I’ll co with the Sheriff’s Departnt people, and you can talk to them."
...
In the evening, as the sun set westward.
Several unexpected guests entered Seii Shrine.
Leading them was the Ban City Sheriff’s Departnt chief.
Besides bringing along a few sheriffs, there was also Asuka Seii’s uncle, Ryosuke Seii.
The Seii Shrine is large, like a small palace.
It is divided into the front courtyard and the back courtyard, both covering quite a large area.
Asuka Seii walked to the front courtyard to welco a few guests.
Ryosuke Seii, in a fawning tone, introduced the director beside him to Asuka Seii:
"This is Mr. Matsushita Oki, the director of Ban City’s Public Security Bureau."
Asuka Seii knew why they ca and slightly bowed:
"Welco to the Seii Shrine.
If you are here to pay respects and offer incense, you are welco.
If you are here to purchase the Seii Shrine, then please leave now."
The director of the Public Security Bureau showed discontent on his face.
The entire Public Security Office in Ban City, the public security bureau, is under his control.
In Ban City, he is one of the most powerful individuals.
If it weren’t for orders from above to acquire Seii Shrine at all costs, he wouldn’t have co to this suburban, run-down place of Seii Shrine.
Ryosuke Seii didn’t expect Asuka to be so rude, glaring at Asuka with a puffed-up beard:
"Asuka, how can you speak to the director like this?! You......"
Asuka said indifferently:
"This is a resting place for ancestors and the Demon King, please refrain from making loud noises."
Asuka feared that the matters of mortals would disturb the Great Evil Demon King’s rest.
Ryosuke Seii thought Asuka must be crazy, stretching out his hand to slap Asuka.
In this country, hierarchy is strict, with higher-ups disciplining subordinates, and elders disciplining juniors being sowhat commonplace.
Asuka Seii had already disowned this uncle when he committed arson.
Moreover, she is now the maid of the Great Evil Demon King, how could she possibly let him hit her?
Asuka Seii grabbed Ryosuke Seii’s hand, and with the activation of Spiritual Power, Ryosuke Seii was knocked several ters away by an eerie force.
The audience was shocked.
Neither the sheriffs nor the director could believe their eyes looking at Asuka.
This delicate young girl, how could she just casually knock a grown man flying?
Ryosuke Seii looked at Asuka in disbelief:
"You, you......"
Asuka said with a cold face:
"Do you not rember the rules of the Seii family, uncle?
The Yin Yang Master and Witches are above all.
Anyone who lays hands on a Yin Yang Master or a Witch must face punishnt!"
This rule indeed exists, but nobody takes it seriously.
After all, where does the Seii Clan have Yin Yang Masters and Witches?
Sotis, descendants think that the ancestor Abe no Seii was just a great charlatan, fooling an entire era.
The director of the Public Security Bureau frowned, carefully scrutinizing Asuka.
Witch?
He already knew about the Spiritual Energy Revival in Xia Country.
He also guessed that the reason for acquiring Seii Shrine was to see if it holds any secrets related to the Spiritual Energy Revival.
And now, this young girl claims to be a Witch, is this... for real?
If he reported the presence of a Witch, wouldn’t that be a great achievent!
At this mont, a wolf’s howl echoed.
The sheriffs exchanged glances.
This indeed was a remote place, but could there really be wolves?
A wolf appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of Asuka, baring its teeth, coldly watching the sheriffs.
Asuka blinked.
This wolf, isn’t it the follower of the Great Evil Demon King?
It ca out together from the Gate of Hell that night.
Ryosuke Seii exclaid:
"A wolf? A wolf? Asuka, you actually keep such a creature!"
The wolf was very close to Ryosuke Seii, scaring him out of his wits.
One sheriff pulled out a weapon, nervously aiming at the wolf.
The wolf opened its mouth, and several Wind Blades shot out, slicing the sheriff’s gun into pieces.
Then, the wolf was about to strike at the humans before it.
Asuka hurriedly shouted:
"Please stop!"
The wolf, hearing Asuka’s command, obediently retreated.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A wolf... capable of emitting powerful Wind Blades!
Could this still be considered a normal wolf?
Moreover, the wolf actually obeyed Asuka’s command!
How could this be possible?!
This scene shattered their previous understanding, leaving them to wonder if they were dreaming.
With trembling fingers, Ryosuke Seii pointed at the wolf, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Shikigami, this is a Shikigami! You, you have truly beco a Witch?!"
