When Leihu was reincarnated as Shier's daughter

— was cut off.

Like an illusory ghost floating out of the Ukiyo-e of Hyakumonogatari, the flat and dry murmur, the cold murderous intent lurking in the dark, quietly entangled Zaoji's body.

In Xia Youjie's expectation, he only needs to twist slightly to break the woman's neck, and she doesn't even realize how she died.

However, it was cut off.

It was a piercing white light that pierced through the iris.

From top to bottom, chopping off the entangled curse spirits, together with Xia Youjie's treacherous smile, the small and nimble dagger turned suddenly, and she held it in her hand.

The instinct of the body drives early action.

Adjusting her breathing, her eyes were clear, and the markings on her forehead were as hot as fire. She clearly caught every change in Xia Youjie's body muscles, and predicted his movements.

Zao Ji grabbed Xia Youjie's wrist and pressed it hard against the wall, making a muffled "boom".

At the same time, the dagger stuck to his ear and pierced straight into the wall, almost cutting his skin with blood.

"..."

The two looked at each other, and for a moment only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The current posture is very bad.

Xia Youjie didn't notice for a while, and Zao Ji took the lead. Her physical skills were unexpectedly strong, and she even suppressed him unilaterally in close combat.

Then he was forced to slam into the wall, Zao put his hands on both sides of his head, one hand was still holding the dagger tightly, and the cold blade was pressed against his ear.

The dense pale golden thunder light is like branches and leaves, clinging to her hand, her knife, and every breath she takes.

Sheer danger.

Xia Youjie's pupils shrank into wheat light, and his eyes, too intense to ignore, pierced her face like needles.

He heard something break in his mind.

That is the "cognition" that has been constructed for her all the time.

--monkey?

— No, not right.

After the old cognition collapsed, new concepts gradually formed. Xia Youjie visually absorbed all the information he could get in touch with, and then gave the answer on his own.

Not monkeys.

No monkey can suppress him at close range, no monkey can get close to him with a blade, and no monkey can make him feel the thrill of being soaked in danger, his heart beating like a drum, and his blood boiling.

Ah...is that so?

In a daze, Xia Youjie remembered the DNA test report he had compared, and realized something that he had overlooked before.

She is different from ordinary conjurers, that's why he couldn't detect her "spell power" in the first place.

She is an alternative "Heaven and Curse".

In this world, there are many forms of heaven and spells.

Fu Heisher is considered the most typical and the most powerful physical master who exchanged "mantra power" for "flesh body" and completely zero mana power.

There is another kind, which is heaven-defying and cursing, exchanging "flesh body" for "spell power". The only example so far is the new mechanical pill of Kyoto school.

It turned out to be the case.

Looking into Zao Ji's eyes, Xia Youjie gradually realized.

She also belongs to "Heaven and Bound".

Because the magic power was exchanged for a brand new ability, even the slightest fluctuation of the magic power on her body could not be displayed.

She is different from those monkeys.

Xia Youjie hates monkeys because ordinary people can't control their meager magic power, which makes the overflow of negative emotions form a magic spirit.

In this world, there are only two kinds of human beings who do not give birth to curse spirits:

Conjurer, and a complete 0 mana.

Because Early Ji does not belong to the former, Xia Youjie preconceivedly classifies her as a monkey.

Now it seems...he was mistaken, this girl belongs to the rarer and even unique latter.

The dagger that was close to him moved, and the tip of the knife pointed at his fragile neck.

Zao Ji lowered her head, her eyes were calm and calm, no different from looking at a flower or a plant of grass: "Mr. Xia You, are you trying to kill me?"

She tilted her head, and her tone was dull: "If it's a misunderstanding, I hope Mr. Xia You can apologize."

"If I hadn't come out with a pocket knife, I'd be in trouble."

"I'm angry and sad."

The edge of the dagger almost touched his carotid artery, Zao Ji expressed his anger in a very serious way.

Abruptly, Xia Youjie's eyes curved into crescents, revealing a sincere and joyful smile.

He ignored the dagger at his vitals, wrapped his long arms around, and gently embraced Zao Ji in his arms.

He coaxed in her ear: "I apologize. I'm sorry, Zao Ji, I misunderstood you."

Zao Ji let go of his hand, revealing bewildered eyes: "Huh?"

Good, so refreshing.

Xia Youjie's apology was like punching cotton, and his resentment turned into a punctured ball, which quickly shriveled up.

Zao Ji asked him: "What did you misunderstand?"

"In the beginning, I thought Zou Ji was an annoying monkey." Xia Youjie separated a little distance from her, clasped his hands together, and expressed his guilt very sincerely, "I didn't realize that Zou Ji was originally It's not like that, it's just that the situation in the early period is too special, I have encountered a case before, so I can't react..."

Early age is a bit silly.

After confirming that she was not a monkey, Xia Youjie's 180-degree change in attitude towards her made her a little uncomfortable.

Even if it is ordinary heaven and curse, such as Zenyuan Maki, Xia Youjie can hardly escape the treatment of a "monkey".

However, the early age is too special. If she has 0 spell power, the probability of her producing a spell spirit is 0. It is even cleaner than some magicians. Xia Youjie will definitely not hate it.

If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. You almost killed the cute little girl by mistake. Of course, Xia Youjie has to apologize sincerely.

After listening to Xia Youjie's explanation, although Zao Ji was still a little confused, she slowly put down the knife: "Oh..."

"So this is an oolong?" The early brain circuit after amnesia is very simple, "Then will you still kill me?"

"Of course not." Xia Youjie raised his hands as if surrendering, and he smiled at her, "I will take good care of Zao Ji until he finds his family."

Zao Ji nodded, accepting his statement.

Anyway, Zao Ji just wanted an apology.

He quickly admitted his mistake, and she just turned the page.

Not feeling that there is anything wrong with shaking hands with the person who just wanted to kill him, Zao Ji turned his head and murmured with a little disappointment: "Fortunately, I thought that Mr. Xia You found my family and came to tell me... ..."

Xia Youjie paused, "I do have some clues here."

Early Ji turned his head suddenly, staring at him with shining eyes.

Xia Youjie laughed: "It's too late today, wait until tomorrow morning and take Zao Ji to find his family."

Early Ji: "Okay."

The dagger slipped into the sleeve against her slender arm, and a corner of Early Ji's mint green skirt protruded, covered with light moonlight. She stepped out of the door with the moonlight behind her back, and was about to disappear at the end of the corridor.

Xia Youjie suddenly called out to her.

"Wait, early Ji."

The female figure paused, then turned her head.

"Would you mind telling me?" Xia Youjie asked softly, "How did you predict my actions before?"

In just a few seconds of the fight, all Xia Youjie's thoughts were seen through, and every movement of the body was firmly observed by her, and then his passage was blocked.

Even if it was only a few seconds, Xia Youjie was enough to feel it.

This intoxicating power.

He saw the eyes of the woman on the opposite side close and open again, and the crystal-clear eyes were smeared with shining stars.

"This," she pointed to her eyes, "I used to call it, penetrating the world."

Zao Ji said goodbye to him.

"Good night, Mr. Xia You."

"……Good night."

……

The next morning, when Zao Ji met Xia Youjie at the appointment, the twins were there.

Seeing Saki walking towards them alive, Nanako and Mimiko showed highly consistent expressions of hell.

Zao Ji laughed when he saw it, and rubbed the tops of the two girls' heads: "What's the matter? Look at me with this expression."

"Probably because they didn't sleep well last night." Xia Youjie replied casually.

Today, Xia Youjie and Zao Ji made an appointment to find her family. It was inconvenient to bring too many people, so Xia Youjie asked the twins to look after the house.

It's just that when Xia Youjie told the twins, "I want to go out with Zao Ji", the twins thought they looked at each other secretly, and then they all showed understanding eyes, and replied to Xia Youjie with bewildered smiles.

"Don't worry, Lord Xia You!"

"Leave it to us here, you and Sister Zaoji must have fun!"

Xia Youjie:?

Somewhat inexplicably excited about the twins, but Xia Youjie didn't intend to delve into it.

He accompanied Zao Ji to leave Pan Xing Sect, and went to the address of Fu Hei's house that he had investigated before.

After realizing that Zao Ji is not a monkey, Xia Youjie's attitude towards her is very peaceful and friendly. Even though he regrets that Zao Ji cannot be his companion, Xia Youjie himself will not force others.

He had no other intentions, this trip was purely to send Zao Ji back to Fu Hei's house.

Then, something unexpected happened.

"Well, who are you?"

It was a girl who opened the door.

With a gentle face, a refreshing ponytail, and a sailor suit on his body, the eyes that glanced at them were completely unfamiliar.

Zao Ji was taken aback, she mumbled her lips, unable to utter a word, she could only look at Xia Youjie for help.

Her family... don't know her?

Xia Youjie frowned, and found that things were worse than expected.

He briefly informed Tsumiji of their intentions, and the understanding girl immediately expressed sympathy and welcomed them into the house.

But only for their inquiries, she was helpless.

"I'm sorry, I don't know a person named 'Zao Ji'... There was no one with this name in my previous neighbors. You may have found the wrong person."

Tsumiji sat across the low table, and glanced at Zaki with a guilty conscience.

Seeing Zao Ji's expression of disappointment, her fingers trembled suddenly, her heart seemed to miss a beat, and she squeezed the teacup tightly.

strangeness.

She obviously didn't know someone, but seeing her sad, she felt breathless...

Jin Meiji couldn't bear it, and hastily remedied: "Maybe I missed it! I'll go to the neighbors to contact—"

"No need." Zao Ji shook his head and forced a smile, "Thank you for taking care of me, I'm really sorry to bother your family, let's go now..."

Suddenly, a young voice came from upstairs.

"Tsu Miki, who are you talking to?"

"benefit!"

Early Ji and Jin Meiji called out this name at the same time, startling Fu Heihui for a moment, with a suspicious expression on his face, "Jin Meiji, who are they?"

Tsumiji was also amazed that Zaoji could call out her younger brother's name, she turned to look at her, and saw Zaoji staring at Fu Heihui without blinking.

In the end, Xia Youjie explained their reason for coming again.

Fu Heihui became more vigilant, and protected Jin Meiji behind him: "We don't know someone named 'Zao Ji'. By the way, shouldn't people go to the police station for missing persons? What's the use of looking for us?"

Zao Ji opened his mouth and lowered his head sadly.

Tsumiji squeezed Fu Heihui's flesh, "What are you doing!"

"I just want to ask you what to do!" Fu Heihui shouted lowly, "What if the person with unknown origin is put in the house, what if the other party plots evil?"

"They are not!"

"Where's the evidence?"

Tsumiji was at a loss for words for a moment.

She couldn't produce evidence, but she just felt that the woman would not hurt her.

Zao Ji was really embarrassed this time, and she stood up in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, we made a mistake, we're leaving now. You guys, don't quarrel... the two brothers and sisters should get along friendly."

Zao Ji dragged Xia Youjie and rushed out of the porch, not forgetting to close the door when he was done.

Tsumiki looked annoyed at the closed door again.

She glared at Hei Hui: "What if someone really wants something from us? Hui, how could you do this!"

Fu Heihui didn't reply to her.

He stared blankly at the direction of the porch, a trace of trance flashed in his eyes.

"Hui?" Tsumiji raised her hand and shook it in front of him, "Why do you have such an expression? Do you know her?"

Only then did Fu Heihui come back to his senses, he lowered his head slightly, watching the lights flickering under his feet.

"I don't know." Fu Heihui said to himself blankly, "I don't know..."

……

Zao Ji hugged his knees, squatted on the bank of the river, and threw a stone weakly.

"Early age."

Sitting beside her, Xia Youjie gently pushed back her sideburns, "It's because I didn't think carefully enough to make you happy, I'm sorry."

"It's none of your business." Zao Ji said sullenly, "I've already troubled Mr. Xia You, you have nothing to do with me at first... I was just thinking, maybe I won't be able to find my family in this life."

"No." Xia Youjie comforted softly, "I will accompany Zao Ji to find it."

The gentle wind blows across the water, the wings of dragonflies flutter, and the leaves float.

Xia Youjie heard himself say: "Take a step back, even if Zao Ji really can't find his family, it doesn't mean that Zao Ji has no place in the world."

Zao Ji opened his eyes wide and slowly looked up at him.

"Mr. Xia You?"

He turned sideways and touched her forehead.

His voice is as gentle as the warm sun in March, caressing the spring breeze lingeringly, awakening the vitality of all things.

Under the sweet candy coat, there are whispers from the devil, separated from the underworld and the Santu River, which make people's vision dim and their minds intoxicated.

"I'll be Zaoji's family."

One blow, violently kills people's hearts.
