Chapter 064

On the day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, all the Onmyoji of the Yuechuan family changed into their formal kimonos.

The sun is scorching, the breeze blows, and pink petals fall.

Tokisake, wearing a pale pink kimono, sat in the center of the procession. Ritual is very important here, and some bizarre rituals precede the ceremony.

Jin Meng was right next to Shi Jiu. She noticed something was wrong with Shi Jiu and asked quietly, "What's wrong, Jiu? You seem distracted."

Shi Jiu shook his head: "No."

Seeing that Shi Jiu didn't want to talk, Jin Meng didn't ask any more questions. She changed the subject and said, "The target of this main quest will probably appear during this sacrifice."

"You mean Yuechuan Hui?"

"Um."

Jin Meng glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention to them before speaking, "It's said she's a famous sorcerer in the Yuechuan family."

"Our mission this time is to fulfill one of her requests."

Jin Meng and Shi Jiu barely exchanged a few words before the group stopped. In front of them stood a red-brick, green-tiled building resembling a temple. In the center, a massive golden incense burner slowly rose from it.

There are several cherry trees in full bloom around, with red ribbons tied to them fluttering in the wind.

With the sound of a drum, the sacrifice officially began.

All the elder Onmyojis were sitting on a high platform. In front of them was a bald Onmyoji who was muttering something softly, as if he was performing a ritual.

There was nothing to do with Shijiu for the time being. Shijiu was standing in the crowd, bored and dazed, until he sensed a familiar evil aura.

"It's the sacrificial demon that has arrived."

The demon sacrifice was the offering for this festival. As was customary during the Sakura Festival, they would always use captured demons as sacrifices.

Shi Jiu instinctively looked up, only to be met with a pair of cold, silver eyes. After not seeing him for a few days, his body, which had almost recovered, was now covered in scars again. The eye on his forehead was still slowly oozing blood.

He walked forward, the chains on his wrists and ankles clanking.

"Is this the haunted demon?"

"Never look into his eyes. It's said that anyone who crosses his path dies a horrible death."

"Don't be afraid. You see, his vertical eyes have been dug out."

"Was it him who caused trouble in the forbidden area a few days ago, and several elders rushed over?"

"The Shikigami Order is about to begin." Jin Meng whispered beside Shijiu.

The Shikigami Order is for the young Onmyojis in the clan. During this ceremony, they can choose some spiritual creatures as their own Shikigami.

Two elders in black kimonos stood on the stage. They clasped their hands together, placed their index fingers together at their lips, and whispered a spell. Behind them, two huge golden circular formations appeared, with some obscure patterns on them.

The younger generation below all gasped in amazement.

There were gusts of evil wind and some roaring sounds around. These were some spirit creatures summoned by the two elders that had not yet recognized their masters. The spirit creatures only appeared in illusory form, and their original bodies had not come here.

"The Shikigami Order begins!"

Choosing a shikigami is a two-way selection process. The Onmyoji must choose a spiritual creature they like as a shikigami. Of course, if the spiritual creature does not like the Onmyoji's qualifications and is unwilling to be his shikigami, the contract will fail.

Everything went very smoothly, and soon they arrived at Jin Meng. Jin Meng silently recited the formulas taught to her by her elders. Unlike other Yin and Yang masters, a faint light appeared behind Jin Meng, and then the light faded, and a pair of beautiful wings appeared behind Jin Meng.

Seeing this scene, all the elders present stood up in surprise: "A natural born Shikigami??"

Jin Meng looked back at his wings. After sitting here for so many days, Jin Meng more or less understood what a natural-born Shikigami meant. This was a very special kind of Shikigami, and generally only very talented Onmyoji could become a natural-born Shikigami.

If you have a natural Shikigami, you cannot have a new Shikigami.

After Jin Meng left, the next one was Shijiu.

After Shijiu took the stage, it was obvious that many people's eyes fell on her. They were all paying close attention to her. Among the younger generations of the family, Shijiu had the best qualifications, even better than Jin Meng. Jin Meng had already appeared in the world of natural born shikigami, and everyone was very curious about what kind of natural born shikigami Shijiu would be.

But as time passed, there was no trace of the natural Shikigami on Tokisuke's body.

"There are no Shikigami?" Everyone was very surprised.

The elders also shook their heads in disappointment: "You can choose your Shikigami now."

Shi Jiu looked around and asked, "Are all the ones here okay?"

The elder replied, “Yes.”

Tokijiu turned around, her hand suddenly pointing in another direction. Her voice was resounding as she said, "I want him to be my Shikigami."

The direction the wine points to is the direction where the sacrificial monster is.

Everyone was stunned.

Finally, an elder reacted first. He was so angry that his beard was crooked: "What did you say???!"

But his words were a little too late, Shijiu's contract had already reached Xiu.

The moment the contract merged with hers, those strange lines appeared on Xiu's body again.

The elders instinctively rushed over to stop the contract, but it was too late.

A golden light flashed, and the contract was completed.

"I didn't follow my family's advice."

"Tokijiu willingly accepts the punishment."

Having disrupted the cherry blossom festival, Tokisuke accepted the punishment consciously.

Because Xiu had successfully made a contract with her and became her Shikigami, the elders could not do anything to Xiu. Finally, all the elders discussed it and decided to confine Shijiu to the Cold Cave for a month.

Shi Jiu did not resist and went to the cold cave obediently.

The cold cave was very cold. Shi Jiu had learned a small formation, so this temperature was nothing to her. After everyone left the cold cave, she was the only one left.

A faint light appeared, and a man with long silver hair appeared beside Shijiu. Shijiu took out a piece of clothing from his spiritual bag and draped it over him.

But just when Shijiu was about to withdraw her hand, he grabbed her wrist. Shijiu looked up at him.

His hands were very cold, and Shi Jiu's wrists were a little red from being gripped by him.

"It's you." As if confirming something, Xiu slowly released her hand. His eyes drooped slightly, but his gaze never left her.

"Yes, it's me." Shi Jiu said softly.

"Why." He finally looked away and said in a cold voice.

"Because I like you, I don't want you to die." Shi Jiu blinked, looked at him and said with a smile.

“.......”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shi Jiu didn't care. She lowered her eyes to look at the wound on his body. The wound was very fresh, obviously he had just been injured in the past two days. Shi Jiu reached out and gently touched his wound, "Who hurt you?"

"If you move again, I will kill you." Xiu's eyes turned slightly red, and his body seemed to tremble uncontrollably. He stared at Shi Jiu and threatened.

Shi Jiu was not threatened by him at all. Instead, she became more aggressive. She raised her hand and gently touched his vertical eye.

The moment the slightly cool fingertips touched his forehead, Xiu Bingliang's hand once again held her hand.

Shi Jiu raised her eyes to look him in the eye, and said with a fearless smile: "You won't kill me, you like me."

“.......”

Being confined in a dark cave would surely be boring for most people, but Shi Jiu didn't feel bored at all. She really enjoyed being with Xiu; the familiar feeling he had made her feel at ease.

Although the demon kept saying he wanted to kill her, it was just talk. Shijiu had teased him countless times, but he had never hurt her.

Shi Jiu discovered that the lines on Xiu's body were probably a kind of imprisonment technique, and that the lines were causing great damage to Xiu's body. As a great demon, it was impossible for Su to be so weak.

Shi Jiu was behind Xiu, playing with his long silver hair in her hands. She lowered her eyes to look at him and asked with a smile, "Do you like me?"

“.........”

Shi Jiu lowered his head and leaned on his shoulder, looking into his eyes, "You agree, right?"

Xiu lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes drooping, and he said word by word: "I will kill you."

Shi Jiu nodded: "Oh."

He has said this many times, but has never put it into practice.

The cave was very cold at night, and Shijiu fell asleep leaning against Xiu.

Xiu lowered his eyes, looking at the girl in his arms. She slept peacefully in his arms, completely defenseless. Sometimes he didn't quite understand what he was doing, given so many opportunities to kill her. But his body wouldn't allow it. He even enjoyed having her close.

In the dark night, his hand moved closer and closer to her fair and slender neck, but the moment it touched her skin, he subconsciously withdrew his hand, his heart twitching with discomfort.

Shijiu felt him approaching while she was sleeping, and she continued to arch her body into his arms like a kitten.

Xiu moved gently and slowly and hugged her body.

For some reason, he felt an intense sense of satisfaction in his heart, as if he had finally found the treasure he had cherished for a long time. He liked this feeling.

There were some strange fluctuations in his body. Xiu took a few deep breaths to suppress the feeling. As a demon, he understood what this feeling meant, but now was not the time.

Xiu held her upright with his body stiff.

He was already trying his best to control himself, but he didn't expect the kitten in his arms to be so unruly. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, still moving around unruly.

"Don't move." His voice was hoarse.

His body temperature gradually rose and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Shi Jiu noticed something was wrong with Xiu's body. She had been giving him strength for the past two days, but Xiu's condition had only gotten worse. He looked haggard and even had a fever, with a burning forehead.

Fortunately, there is a game system, so Shijiu can send a message to Jin Meng.

Jin Meng also went to the family library and found some books about evil spirits. The evil spirits recorded in the books were generally very lustful and were best at exploiting human desires.

Shi Jiu finished reading all the information Jin Meng sent her and fell into silence.

He had a slender face that looked cold and otherworldly. She really couldn't imagine that he had practiced in that way in the past.

Feeling Shijiu's gaze, Xiu looked towards her and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Shi Jiu: "Are you really a demon?"

Seeing Xiu didn't say anything, Shi Jiu walked over to his side. He lowered his eyes to look at Xiu who was sitting on the ground, suddenly bent down, and suddenly approached his face. "Evil spirits are obsessed with lust. Most evil spirits use Yin-Yang masters to practice dual cultivation to improve their cultivation, right?"

“.......”

Her breath was very close to him, like feathers tickling his heart. Xiu turned his gaze away and didn't look at her.

But the next second her hands were on his face, forcing him to look at her.

Shi Jiu stared at him curiously and asked the question he had always been curious about: "Sui is good at seduction, why don't you seduce me?"

“.......”

Shi Jiu knelt in front of him and looked up at him.

He remained expressionless, his face still stoic, but Shi Jiu could clearly sense that he was a little flustered. His body temperature was rapidly rising, and his demonic instincts were making it difficult for him to control himself.

There was a soft snap of fingers, but Xiu found himself unable to move. He subconsciously lowered his eyes to look at Shijiu, but he didn't expect Shijiu to put her hands on his shoulders, suddenly stood up, and her lips kissed the corner of his lips.

It was as if something was running through his body, and his eyes gradually turned red.

But now he was frozen and couldn't move at all.

While he was unable to move, Shi Jiu lowered her head and gently kissed the small wound on his collarbone. She could clearly feel his body tremble slightly. With the naked eye, the small wound on his body was slowly healing.

So it’s so useful?

Shi Jiu kissed him unscrupulously all over his body until she felt a little tired, then she stopped and leaned into his arms.

His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the whole person felt completely different from before. Tokijiu's throat moved, her eyes fixed on his, and she unconsciously moved closer to him, "Ash."

Her voice was soft, and it made his heart tighten.

His gaze moved down inch by inch, passing her eyes, the tip of her upturned nose, and finally stopped at her crimson mouth.

His gaze seemed to have an aphrodisiac effect. Unable to bear it any longer, Shi Jiu raised her head and bit his mouth.

In the dim cave, Shi Jiu heard his muffled groan.

She sobered up for a moment and was about to release his lips, but he had broken the spell that held her. His hand pressed down on her head, preventing her from leaving. He then pressed his entire body against hers, deepening the kiss.

A faint smell of blood spread from the two people's mouths, and their consciousness seemed to be slowly withdrawing.

She didn't know where this was, but Shijiu knew it was him beside her. His breath was always around her, and he kept kissing her, kissing her chin and her fingertips. In the quiet space, she could even clearly hear his low breathing.

It seemed like an eternity had passed, and he still hadn't let her go.

Unable to bear it any longer, she begged him in a low voice, but all she got in return was him getting even worse.

When Shi Jiu regained consciousness, he fainted in his arms.

Xiu didn't move. He looked down at her for a long time, then reached out and held one of her hands, slowly transferring strength into her body.

When it was almost time, he bent down and kissed her eyes tenderly.

"My eyes are swollen."

Shijiu didn't expect time to pass so quickly. When she woke up, her confinement was almost over.

Xiu's body had obviously improved a lot, his vertical eyes had recovered, but the restraints on his body were still there.

Since waking up, Xiu had been particularly indulgent towards her, letting her do whatever she wanted. Sometimes when she was aroused too much, Xiu would hold her head and kiss her unconsciously. His movements were sometimes rough, sometimes very gentle, and Shijiu's lips were red and swollen from his kisses.

However, he still had some sense and knew that he was about to leave, so he did not pull her aside to have another spiritual communication.

Soul communication is actually very good in other aspects, but it takes more than 20 days to communicate once, which she really can't stand.

Finally, the day of confinement arrived. The elders of the tribe, along with Jin Meng, were all present. Of course, after such an act, the elders weren't happy about it, but Shi Jiu didn't care.

After a series of processes, Shijiu finally returned to his room before the sun set in the afternoon.

The first thing Shi Jiu did when he returned to the room was to change into clean and comfortable clothes.

Jin Meng was also in Shijiu's room. Because Shijiu's clothes were loose, Jin Meng's eyes fell on her neck, "Have you been bitten by insects?"

Tokijiu paused as he put his things away: "Hmm?"

Jin Meng pointed to her neck and said, "My whole body is allergic."

There happened to be a bronze mirror behind her, so Shi Jiu turned around and looked at herself. There were some faint red marks on the side of her neck.

"I'll get you some medicine later." Jin Meng obviously didn't think much about it.

Shi Jiu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

After a few peaceful days, Shijiu did not go anywhere and stayed in his room.

Her place is very quiet, and only Jin Meng comes to see her from time to time.

"The Night of the Hundred Demons is coming soon, and the clan has been on high alert these days." Jin Meng and Shi Jiu were sitting together in the small courtyard. Jin Meng was peeling an orange with her head down, but out of the corner of her eye she unexpectedly saw a beautiful hand appear next to Shi Jiu. She subconsciously looked up, and she didn't know when, a handsome silver-haired man with delicate features appeared next to Shi Jiu.

He lowered his eyes to look at Shijiu, holding a peeled orange that he handed to Shijiu.

Jin Meng reacted and looked at Shi Jiu: "Your Shikigami?"

Shi Jiuxian took the orange from Xiu's hand and replied with a smile, "Yes."

Xiu had other things to do and didn't stay here for long. After Xiu left, Jin Meng came to Shi Jiu and whispered, "He's very handsome, but he looks a little cold."

Shi Jiu's waist was still aching. Hearing Jin Meng's words, Shi Jiu smiled and shook his head, saying softly: "Well, he looks very cold on the surface, but he is actually very clingy."
