"You have logged into the 'Changling' area."
Entering the Yin-Yang Bureau, Qiu Shuiyiren went up to her bedroom on the second floor and waited expectantly outside the door.
"Snow Woman! I... wait?"
Pushing open the door, Qiu Shuiyi was surprised to find that Xiao Xue Nu was not in the hammock. She searched everywhere and finally found her inside the "barrier".
"Do you like living here?"
Pushing open the door, the Snow Woman sat beneath the Barrier Fish Banner, her body shimmering with white light.
"Master," the snow woman called to her.
Two beeps sounded from where the barrier card was placed, and white light descended from the top to the bottom, with all the light particles in the air flowing into her body.
"It's time to change the card."
The indoor umbrella lamp wick was placed in the slot groove, and white light rose from the bottom to the top. Qiu Shuiyi turned around and looked at Xue Nu, but couldn't see anything different about her.
"You've gained experience?"
The snow woman nodded.
Open the control panel, and you'll see an image of Yuki Onna in the "Shikigami" section, along with her attributes, moves, and level.
"Shikigami Yuki Onna - Level 4 Initial Ascension, Mission Accomplished: Level Up Shikigami. Reward: Three Mysterious Talismans."
System notification.
"Let's summon a new shikigami!"
System sound notification.
A hint of helplessness flashed in the Snow Maiden's eyes. Autumn Water Beauty glanced at her and shook her head.
"She's not grown up yet, how can we raise a new shikigami?"
"The level of the shikigami changes constantly. If there is only one shikigami in the Onmyoji Guild, your chances of completing the task and clearing the stage will be very small."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuiyi narrowed her eyes, ignoring the system's emphasis on "missions and clearing levels," and instead thought of something else.
"Aren't you scared being all alone in the dormitory?" she asked.
The snow woman was taken aback, the loneliness and cold of last night washing over her. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I... hope my master will stay with me."
"Then shall I summon a shikigami to accompany you?"
Qiu Shui Yi Ren thought for a moment and continued, "You're still a child. If you summon a fierce and evil shikigami, then return it to its original form."
As they spoke, the two walked toward the "Summoning" room. Once inside, Qiu Shuiyi took a mysterious talisman from a wooden box and threw it into the summoning pool.
"brush……"
A figure landed, and Qiu Shui squinted to see the shikigami that had landed. Long black hair, long heels—why did they look so strange on him?
Feigning composure, the little boy shook his hair and wobbled over to them in his stilt-like wooden clogs.
"I am food... Ah!"
His hair got tangled in his shoes, and he tripped and fell to the ground, landing hard.
"Waaah..."
The little boy burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, hug me~"
The beautiful woman picked up the little boy and comforted him. His long hair hung down from her arm to her calves, like a thick waterfall cascading over her body.
The Snow Woman's gaze was fixed on that smooth, jet-black hair. The Autumn Beauty parted his hair, revealing her lovely face.
"So cute~"
Qiu Yuyi's face was filled with a gentle smile.
The little boy lowered his head and sobbed, clinging to her arm and refusing to let go, "Sister, I want my sister... Waaah..."
"Snow Woman~"
Qiu Shuiyi winked at her, "Come here and hug him~"
"..."
Her gaze lingered on him, then she turned away, and the snow woman floated even higher.
Σ('_'ll)
"What's with this child's arrogance?" Qiu Shuiyi thought to herself.
"Isn't he cute?" The little boy was placed in front of the snow woman, and he stopped crying and stared at her blankly.
"Hello, my name is Hair-Eating Demon."
"What's your name?" Qiu Shuiyiren, holding him, was stunned. "Are you a ghost? The Hair-Eating Ghost?"
"Give it to me."
With a swift movement, the Snow Maiden's arms were suddenly empty. The little boy in her arms, whose eyes were lowered, had been taken away by the Snow Maiden. She turned her back, but a red mark was visible on her earlobe.
