"How come I didn't know there was such a shady shop in Heian-kyo?" said the mysterious Seimei.
Shuten-dōji collapsed, dizzy and disoriented, while Ibaraki-dōji, behind the mysterious onmyoji, had full health and was at max level.
The difference in status between the two SSR shikigami standing together was immediately apparent. The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, trying to remain calm, and met his gaze.
Lesser demons have an instinctive fear of greater demons. After Ibaraki-doji appeared, Hotaru, Yuki-onna, and Shiki-onna all hid behind Akatsuki and stood with Satoru.
The demon musician stood there bewildered, holding his zither. His fingers unconsciously rested on the instrument, and a melody flowed out.
"clang--"
Both groups' eyes fell on him at the same time. Suddenly stared at, the demon musician's eyes reddened and tears began to fall.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
The beautiful woman picked him up and comforted him in her arms. The mysterious Onmyoji frowned and said to Ibaraki-doji behind him:
"Take him back and report him to the city gate and government office."
"Aga Goke!"
"Wait! I'm leaving now!"
"It's too late."
Ibaraki-dōji grabbed the shopkeeper with one hand, and together with the unconscious Shuten-dōji behind him, they walked out of the shop.
Watching him leave, Qiu Shuiyi walked up to the mysterious Onmyoji, looked at him through his mask, and said, "Thank you for helping me out of that predicament."
The mysterious Onmyoji looked her up and down, then asked in surprise, "A new Onmyoji to Heian-kyo? Haven't joined an Onmyoji guild yet?"
"Starry sky and sea of clouds, a level three dormitory."
"What?"
The mysterious Onmyoji's expression froze, filled with disbelief.
"This is the Onmyoji guild I joined," Qiu Shui Yi Ren added.
The mysterious Onmyoji glanced at her a few times, shook his head, and muttered under his breath, "How could I have recruited someone of such a low level?"
"Father? Shall we go?"
The little food ghost peeked out, cautiously glancing at the max-level expert opposite him, before unconsciously pulling his head back in.
"I will always remember your life-saving grace today. Thank you."
Seeing the other person's level and shikigami, she had no way to repay them, so she could only give them a "friend card".
"In the future, go to stores run by the system, and don't come to these privately owned stores."
The mysterious Yin-Yang Master warned her, and Qiu Shui Yi Ren nodded.
After what had just happened, they had no desire to continue shopping and rushed back to the Yin-Yang Lodge in the mountain valley.
Back at the Yin-Yang Bureau, I breathed a sigh of relief. The events that had just happened were still vivid in my mind. The Hair-Eating Demon and the Firefly Grass went into the barrier to nurture themselves, and the Snow Woman arranged for the Demon Musician and Jue to rest.
They were all too weak, and the weak are easily bullied, so they had the idea of consciously cultivating themselves.
After they left, Qiu Shuiyi summoned the control panel and clicked "System Inquiry".
"Dear 'Autumn Beauty,' do you have any questions?" an electronic voice asked.
"I want to know how to distinguish between shops opened by players and those opened by the system."
"Searching, please wait..."
"The shops opened by the system only contain game NPCs. The shops opened by players mainly serve various shikigami of different levels."
The system responded.
"That……"
Qiu Shuiyi hesitated for a moment, "Can I open a shop too?"
"Heian-kyo is divided into three areas. The first is the town, which is divided into markets and residential areas, including areas where Onmyoji live and shops opened by the system."
Secondly, the suburbs. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the "Changling" area, the town has now been expanded, and the suburbs have been opened up to include the wards and markets.
The third type consists of various mountain ranges, inhabited by groups of scattered shikigami and various onmyoji (yin-yang masters) residing in their monasteries; these areas pose the highest level of danger.
It turns out she lived in the most dangerous place.
Qiu Shui Yi Ren understood this matter and prepared to shut down the system, when the system gave a "ding-dong" notification.
"Upon inspection, your shikigami Yuki Onna has reached the maximum level. Please feed her Daruma or a shikigami of the same level as soon as possible to help her level up."
