She walked out happily. Her shikigami was waiting at the street corner. The demon musician and the hair-eating demon were holding sushi. Yingcao bought a bag of vegetable seeds, and Jue bought a few towels.
"Have you bought everything?"
"I want to see the Snow Woman's new clothes," said the Hair-Eating Demon.
"I'll look at it when I get back."
On her way home, Qiu Shui remembered seeing gold coins and some loose black Daruma dolls in Sister Qiao's shikigami's pocket.
Should she give her shikigami pocket money? Wouldn't it be a hassle if they needed to buy something and she couldn't log in?
Do you have any gold coins left?
"There's still a little left."
"I'll give you all pocket money when we get back, one hundred gold coins each."
Very good!
The shikigami cheered with joy.
They had just seen some items they liked, but they didn't have the money to buy them. A hundred gold coins wasn't much, but they could save up enough.
Back at the Yin-Yang Bureau, remembering what Sushi Workshop had said earlier, Shusui entered the summoning pool to summon a shikigami.
"He's right, there are indeed too few shikigami in the guild."
He took out a mysterious talisman and tossed it into the air, chanting, "Kui Kui Niu Li Ci You—"
"brush--"
"Ohohohoho..."
A strange, deep male voice appeared, and Qiu Shui, her face pale, took a few steps back. What was this thing?
"Roar..."
Red eyes, a moth-like forehead and face, and a lampshade in her hand from which many small purple insects fly out.
"ah--!!"
Qiu Shui cried out in surprise as the Snow Woman and the Hair-Eating Demon appeared behind her, and an ice shard and a hook flew toward the summoning pool.
"Quickly drive those bugs away!"
Qiu Shui retreated repeatedly, her face turning pale, waving her hand as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Who is he?" she asked the Snow Woman.
"His name is Wugushi, and he is one of the shikigami with strong attack power."
"Can he leave?"
"Oh? Father... he's very capable."
The hair-eating demon was a little disappointed and whispered in Qiu Shui's ear, "Don't be fooled by his scary appearance, he's actually very powerful with critical hits."
After attending the banquet and exchanging ideas, not only did Shusui improve, but the shikigami also broadened their horizons and learned a lot about Heian-kyo.
“There’s a hut in front of our mountain, where a sorcerer lives who can control all kinds of poisonous insects!” he continued.
“I can make honey,” the new sorcerer added.
Qiu Shui's attitude and expression just now frightened him; he felt rejected by his new master.
"Don't bring me back to life. I can do many things and I'm very obedient."
"Return to life? What is return to life?"
Qiu Shui remained silent, thinking about the tutorial in her mind. The tutorial said that there was an enormous boulder behind the summoning pool. If you crushed the spirit flower blooming under the boulder and used the flower juice to write a summoning talisman, you could bring your shikigami back to base.
In return, you will receive a Soulfire, which is very useful and can be exchanged for other shikigami.
"I won't bring you back to life."
A weak smile appeared on Qiu Shui's face. She was seven or eight meters away from the sorcerer, clearly still afraid of him.
"Your summoned spirit is mine. Go to the courtyard and get along with the other spirits."
"Yes, Onmyoji."
The sorcerer was led out of the room by the Snow Woman. Qiu Shui patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear. Turning back, the Hair-Eating Demon was still standing beside her.
Aren't you coming with me?
The hair-eating demon stroked her smooth, long hair and gave a flirtatious wink.
"I hate ugly monsters the most, and I don't want to talk to them."
Qiu Shui shook her head and tapped the vain little brat on the head with the handle of her fan.
“You must accept him, not isolate him.”
The hair-eating demon pursed his lips and reluctantly went downstairs. He walked to the window, where the sorcerer was asking the snow woman a question in the courtyard.
The hair-eating ghost's lips twitched. When he spoke to them, although his attitude was somewhat bad, he was still polite.
"This child is such a worry."
The Hair-Eating Demon is less composed than other shikigami and lacks maturity in many matters.
Kid, you need to try to change.
