Twisted Dreams-Chapter 315 - 384: Witch
Asuka Seimei bowed gratefully:
"Thank you, Great Evil Demon King!
Thank you, Great Evil Demon King for remembering the descendants of Seimei!"
’Ring ring ring.’
Asuka Seimei’s phone rang at an inopportune moment.
Asuka Seimei wanted to slap herself.
Even in company meetings, she had to mute her phone; why didn’t she mute it when meeting the Great Evil Demon King!
This call, holding her phone feels wrong, letting it ring feels wrong too.
The Three-headed Hellhound spoke:
"You can go out."
Asuka Seimei, feeling relieved, stood up, bowed, and made her exit with tiny steps.
After Asuka Seimei left, the Three-headed Hellhound transformed back into his wild man appearance, smiling as he looked at Madam Bai:
"How do you find it, madam, imposing enough?"
Madam Bai stepped forward and grabbed Xiaohai’s ear:
"Have you taken a fancy to that girl, which is why you gave her Extraordinary Power for free?"
Xiaohai wasn’t in pain, but he was tender towards his wife.
He pretended to be in pain, grimacing and continually pleading:
"I didn’t give it for free, madam. Giving her Extraordinary Power is beneficial to us, beneficial!"
Xiaohai had his own plans.
Madam Bai humphs cutely, arms folded:
"But you haven’t said, have you taken a liking to that girl?"
Xiaohai scratched his head:
"No."
Madam Bai said:
"It’s not an issue if you like her; what head wolf doesn’t have all the females of the pack?
But you must remember, I am the main wife, and I will always hold a higher status than your other women!"
Xiaohai was stunned.
That understanding?
Madam Bai is a wolf, not like humans; she gets jealous but won’t hinder Wolf King’s reproduction.
...
In the courtyard, Asuka received the call, still from her uncle.
Uncle said:
"Asuka, let me be honest with you.
The Sheriff’s Department plans to buy Seimei Shrine.
I will help you get a high price, but you’ll need to give me a cut."
The reason Uncle lowered his posture was regretting sending people to set fire yesterday.
He originally thought the Sheriff’s Department was interested in Seimei Shrine’s land, but the Sheriff’s Department said the things inside Seimei Shrine are far more important than the land itself.
Luckily, the fire at Seimei Shrine was extinguished last night; if it had burned down, he’d be a big criminal.
Uncle lowered his posture just to keep Asuka from mentioning the arson incident.
Uncle thought that for a worthless Seimei Shrine, a high-price offer from the Sheriff’s Department wouldn’t be refused by Asuka unless she was a fool.
Asuka, with a bit of disgust, said:
"I won’t sell Seimei Shrine."
Uncle tried to persuade sincerely:
"What are you doing holding onto a pile of broken stone statues?
That broken shrine doesn’t even have tourists visiting.
What will you rely on for food in the future?
Sell it for a good price now, and you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life.
You don’t really believe there are Yin Yang Masters in the world, do you?
Don’t be like your father, who dreamed of becoming a Yin Yang Master all his life but died not knowing what a demon looks like."
Asuka fell silent.
Poor father, who so loved demons.
Now the Great Demon is in the room, but he can’t see it.
Asuka wiped her tears and said softly:
"There are Yin Yang Masters in this world, and there are demons, because I have already become a witch."
Uncle was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly said:
"You’re really insane, even becoming a witch?
You’re crazier than your dad and will eventually end up in a mental hospital."
Asuka said:
"No matter how, I will not sell Seimei Shrine.
I can forget about your arson act as a token of gratitude for taking me in when father was critically ill.
In the future, our families will have no relation."
Uncle sighed:
"In the afternoon, I’ll come with the Sheriff’s Department people, and you can talk to them."
...
In the evening, as the sun set westward.
Several unexpected guests entered Seimei Shrine.
Leading them was the Ban City Sheriff’s Department chief.
Besides bringing along a few sheriffs, there was also Asuka Seimei’s uncle, Ryosuke Seimei.
The Seimei Shrine is large, like a small palace.
It is divided into the front courtyard and the back courtyard, both covering quite a large area.
Asuka Seimei walked to the front courtyard to welcome a few guests.
Ryosuke Seimei, in a fawning tone, introduced the director beside him to Asuka Seimei:
"This is Mr. Matsushita Oki, the director of Ban City’s Public Security Bureau."
Asuka Seimei knew why they came and slightly bowed:
"Welcome to the Seimei Shrine.
If you are here to pay respects and offer incense, you are welcome.
If you are here to purchase the Seimei Shrine, then please leave now."
The director of the Public Security Bureau showed discontent on his face.
The entire Public Security Office in Ban City, the public security bureau, is under his control.
In Ban City, he is one of the most powerful individuals.
If it weren’t for orders from above to acquire Seimei Shrine at all costs, he wouldn’t have come to this suburban, run-down place of Seimei Shrine.
Ryosuke Seimei didn’t expect Asuka to be so rude, glaring at Asuka with a puffed-up beard:
"Asuka, how can you speak to the director like this?! You......"
Asuka said indifferently:
"This is a resting place for ancestors and the Demon King, please refrain from making loud noises."
Asuka feared that the matters of mortals would disturb the Great Evil Demon King’s rest.
Ryosuke Seimei thought Asuka must be crazy, stretching out his hand to slap Asuka.
In this country, hierarchy is strict, with higher-ups disciplining subordinates, and elders disciplining juniors being somewhat commonplace.
Asuka Seimei had already disowned this uncle when he committed arson.
Moreover, she is now the maid of the Great Evil Demon King, how could she possibly let him hit her?
Asuka Seimei grabbed Ryosuke Seimei’s hand, and with the activation of Spiritual Power, Ryosuke Seimei was knocked several meters away by an eerie force.
The audience was shocked.
Neither the sheriffs nor the director could believe their eyes looking at Asuka.
This delicate young girl, how could she just casually knock a grown man flying?
Ryosuke Seimei looked at Asuka in disbelief:
"You, you......"
Asuka said with a cold face:
"Do you not remember the rules of the Seimei family, uncle?
The Yin Yang Master and Witches are above all.
Anyone who lays hands on a Yin Yang Master or a Witch must face punishment!"
This rule indeed exists, but nobody takes it seriously.
After all, where does the Seimei Clan have Yin Yang Masters and Witches?
Sometimes, descendants think that the ancestor Abe no Seimei was just a great charlatan, fooling an entire era.
The director of the Public Security Bureau frowned, carefully scrutinizing Asuka.
Witch?
He already knew about the Spiritual Energy Revival in Xia Country.
He also guessed that the reason for acquiring Seimei Shrine was to see if it holds any secrets related to the Spiritual Energy Revival.
And now, this young girl claims to be a Witch, is this... for real?
If he reported the presence of a Witch, wouldn’t that be a great achievement!
At this moment, a wolf’s howl echoed.
The sheriffs exchanged glances.
This indeed was a remote place, but could there really be wolves?
A wolf appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of Asuka, baring its teeth, coldly watching the sheriffs.
Asuka blinked.
This wolf, isn’t it the follower of the Great Evil Demon King?
It came out together from the Gate of Hell that night.
Ryosuke Seimei exclaimed:
"A wolf? A wolf? Asuka, you actually keep such a creature!"
The wolf was very close to Ryosuke Seimei, scaring him out of his wits.
One sheriff pulled out a weapon, nervously aiming at the wolf.
The wolf opened its mouth, and several Wind Blades shot out, slicing the sheriff’s gun into pieces.
Then, the wolf was about to strike at the humans before it.
Asuka hurriedly shouted:
"Please stop!"
The wolf, hearing Asuka’s command, obediently retreated.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A wolf... capable of emitting powerful Wind Blades!
Could this still be considered a normal wolf?
Moreover, the wolf actually obeyed Asuka’s command!
How could this be possible?!
This scene shattered their previous understanding, leaving them to wonder if they were dreaming.
With trembling fingers, Ryosuke Seimei pointed at the wolf, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Shikigami, this is a Shikigami! You, you have truly become a Witch?!"
