Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...
After discussing the matter, Shang Lin immediately went to her evening class, while She Jinxing drove home. Night had just fallen, and the lights in every household were gradually coming on.
She Jinxing parked his car and, like any ordinary person, went up the stairs one step at a time. But before he even reached the third floor, he heard arguing and the sound of things breaking.
He paused, wondering what was going on. Had they started fighting again in 301? Wait a minute, weren't Ah Chou and Chang Feng in 301? With them there, how could the couple be fighting?
She Jinxing strode to the door of apartment 301, and then heard the woman's trembling voice cry out, "I can't live like this anymore! Let's get a divorce!"
"Divorce?! You wish." That was the man's voice. "I'm working hard outside to earn money to support the family, and what have you done? You haven't earned any money, you haven't taken good care of the children, and the house is a mess. And you still want a divorce?"
She Jinxing immediately concealed himself and slipped through the wall to enter. Then he saw Ah Chou and Chang Feng, both staring at the man who had gone mad. A cloud of black energy emanated from the man's head, which could only be described as baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.
She Jinxing immediately sent a telepathic message to A Chou, "What's going on? Are you just standing by and watching?"
Ah Chou said calmly, "We didn't let him do anything, did we? The sect leader said he would come to check on the man's condition tonight. We only need to protect the women and children."
She Jinxing, “…”
The man is completely unrecognizable, how can you all be so calm and just watch? And the house is a mess, even though the lady of the house cleaned it up neatly this morning.
However, "What's wrong with this man? How did he get possessed by evil spirits?"
Changfeng said calmly, "Is there any need to ask? It's so obvious. This little bit of evil spirit has taken over his body, but it won't do anything to him. It's just amplified the dissatisfaction in his heart. I suppose he's been dissatisfied with his wife for a long time. I've seen this kind of situation before. Rather than saying that his mind has been taken over by evil spirits, it's more accurate to say that his true nature has been revealed."
Ah Chou sighed, "Humans really are the most complex life forms!"
If Ah Chou hadn't said that the sect leader was going to check on this man that night, She Jinxing would have definitely converted that menacing evil spirit on his head on the spot.
But he patiently said, "Please let him be quiet. He's disturbing the peace, and there are children at home. What if he scares them?"
Changfeng said, "The child can't hear, so I used an isolation spell."
She Jinxing, “…”
Is this a case of only caring about the children and ignoring the adults? What happened to protecting women and children? Isn't this woman a woman?
She Jinxing stepped forward and knocked the man unconscious, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Instead of addressing the root of the problem, you're trying to solve it from another angle? You're a sword spirit, and you can even block spells? Who are you trying to fool?"
Changfeng touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. "I don't know how, but my sword has a little bit of sword domain, so protecting a child is no problem at all."
She Jinxing was stunned for a moment before asking, "You actually have a sword domain?!" Even his natal sword didn't have a sword domain! Was it because his natal sword didn't have a sword spirit?
Changfeng, "..."
What do you mean by looking at me with disbelief? Can't a short sword have a sword domain? Don't judge a sword by its length.
The next second, She Jinxing returned to normal, "You guys keep watching, I'm going home."
Ah Chou hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back too, I need to write the opening chapter."
Changfeng, "..."
I suspected you were targeting me, but I said, "Okay."
Ah Chou said that when writing the opening of a novel, he was really diligent in his work. The main reason was that ideas are fleeting, and if he didn't write them down immediately, he was afraid he would forget them later.
Especially for a novice like Ah Chou, he needs to write down everything he can think of and then organize it slowly. Since he is a spirit, he has plenty of time and energy. He can treat the first book as practice.
She Jinxing went to see Xiaobai, wondering when it would wake up, while the God was peacefully sleeping against Xiaobai, a rare sight of tranquility.
She Jinxing watched quietly for a while before leaving the tower to prepare for the exam.
Shang Lin had a small desk with his books and test papers on it. Some of the test papers were blank, while others were completed. There was also a New Year's gift from Situ Pojun—a set of five years of college entrance exam simulations.
At this moment, She Jinxing was also sitting here, engrossed in the exam preparation materials recommended by Yu Qingfeng. Occasionally, he would take out a pen to jot down key points. His eyes were focused, and his temperament was calm, quite like that of an ancient scholar.
If the female students at No. 2 Middle School saw She Jinxing reading so intently, they would probably scream again. However, as he read, he discovered a problem: the book actually involved talismans and spells!
I know some magic, but it's different from the magic in this book. After all, these are spells used by human cultivators, while the ones I know are used by demon cultivators. As for talismans...
Hehe, I'd say I'm pretty much clueless about this, since human cultivators excel at things that rely on skills or brains, while demon cultivators excel at things that rely on strength.
Thinking of the talisman drawn by Shang Lin, She Jinxing felt completely lost. It seemed that his idea of helping the sect leader test the waters might not be able to be realized!
Moreover, the talismans drawn by demon cultivators and those drawn by human cultivators would likely have vastly different effects when used. She Jinxing frowned slightly, realizing that he... had been a bit too arrogant!
However, I can ask Ah Chou for advice on drawing talismans, but Ah Chou is typing on his phone right now and probably doesn't have time to talk to me. Maybe I should ask him when the sect leader comes back tonight?
Alright, I'm afraid the sect leader won't have time tonight either; he still needs to go check out 301 to see what's going on! Never mind, I'll just look at other things instead!
It must be said that, aside from incantations and spells, She Jinxing is quite capable of handling other topics such as classics, history, culture, and philosophy, and even finds them quite interesting.
As for having a photographic memory like Shang Lin, She Jinxing couldn't do that. He used his photographic memory for mental techniques and his own cultivation.
When Shang Lin got out of school that evening, he saw Mo Rong. It seemed that all the directors of their Underworld Office were dressed in black from head to toe. Before, it was Situ Pojun, and now it was Mo Rong.
Although they are both black, they are completely different individuals in terms of temperament. At least Situ Pojun has a presence, while Mo Rong seems to blend into any environment.
Shang Lin briefly explained the situation of the male head of household 301 to Mo Rong. Mo Rong also explained what they had discovered, roughly that evil spirits were spreading in the city and targeting ordinary humans, and that they were working to resolve the matter.
