Yotsuya Miko stumbled and sat on the ground, completely drained of strength.
She watched the evil spirits charging towards her.
Yotsuya Miko felt like they were playing unfairly, even resorting to entrapment!
It seemed she was in dire straits.
Watching the evil spirits, tongues lolling out, rushing towards her from close by, she began to pray internally.
"Gods or demons, please, I beg you, you must save me!"
At that moment, the card in Yotsuya Miko's hand seemed to sense something.
Buzz!
The magic circle on the card emitted a dazzling white light.
Yotsuya Miko was enveloped in a pillar of light, and the evil spirits were kept out.
The card in her hand also broke free from her grasp and fell to the ground.
The pattern on the card suddenly grew larger.
A giant magic circle appeared beneath her feet.
Yotsuya Miko was too stunned by the scene before her to speak.
Could this card really summon a demon?
The next moment, a figure entered her vision.
Yotsuya Miko stared in disbelief at Ye Xiao, with his white hair and red eyes, floating in the air before her.
Immediately after, a pair of bat wings unfurled from behind Ye Xiao.
A gentle breeze ruffled Ye Xiao's white hair.
Are there really demons in this world?
Yotsuya Miko stared blankly at Ye Xiao, completely ignoring the evil spirits pounding on the pillar of light around her.
Ye Xiao, looking at the girl before him, was also momentarily stunned, not expecting it to be this strong female lead.
Then he looked around.
Goodness, so many evil spirits, it’s truly impressive you haven’t wet yourself.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko still in a daze, Ye Xiao waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "Snap out of it, snap out of it."
Yotsuya Miko also came to her senses, then stammered, "Are you... a demon?"
"Uh-huh~ Of course."
Ye Xiao crossed his arms, a smile on his face, and subtly moved his wings.
Yotsuya Miko's worldview was currently undergoing a drastic reconstruction.
Ever since she could see evil spirits, she had now summoned a Mr. Demon.
Oh my, what has this world come to?
Swish~
Ye Xiao retracted his wings.
Then, with his arms crossed, he spoke from above.
"Greetings, Summoner, Mr. Demon Ye Xiao has answered your call."
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yotsuya Miko slowly calmed down.
Although she didn't know what this world had become, it wasn't important now.
She cautiously said to Ye Xiao, "Mr. Demon... could you please help me deal with these evil spirits?"
"Of course, Summoner."
Ye Xiao nodded, looking at the evil spirits blocked outside.
At this moment, more and more evil spirits were gathering, and those from the surrounding area were also attracted.
Ye Xiao waved his hand lightly, and the light screen dissipated.
"You can all see!"
"Hahaha, kill you all, devour you all!"
Watching the evil spirits charge directly at him, Ye Xiao snapped his fingers.
Clap~
A crisp sound rang out.
Control magic, activate.
The evil spirits froze motionless in mid-air.
"Although they are low-level and vile souls, there are many of them," Ye Xiao said calmly, stroking his chin as he looked at the paused evil spirits.
"Then... I'll take them."
Saying that, Ye Xiao extended his hand, palm upwards.
Spirit Gathering Magic, open!
A gentle breeze began to swirl around Ye Xiao, and all the evil spirits transformed into soul energy, forming a tornado. Then Ye Xiao closed his hand.
The black tornado converged in Ye Xiao's hand, forming a black orb.
The matter was resolved so quickly that Yotsuya Miko hadn't even reacted.
Because she found it incredible; just a snap of the fingers, then a clench, and so many evil spirits were... just like that, resolved?
Am I still dreaming?
Ye Xiao held the black orb in his palm, toying with it, and turned to look at Yotsuya Miko, who was in an internal storm.
Next, it was time to collect his reward.
Then Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow at Yotsuya Miko and said, "Alright, the evil spirits are dealt with, Summoner. Let's talk about your reward."
"Huh?"
"What reward?"
Yotsuya Miko looked a little bewildered.
"Of course, it's the reward for summoning me~ Does Miss Yotsuya Miko intend to get a free ride?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
Yotsuya Miko was a bit flustered. She had never thought about a reward. She stammered, "I... I have nothing to give you."
"No, no, no, there is something, you know~"
"Wh-what?"
Ye Xiao scrutinized the girl before him. A girl with spiritual sight, reincarnated as a demon, should be quite good, right?
Ye Xiao took out an ordinary Devil Pieces—Pawn and played with it in his hand, saying, "Of course, it's you."
"Huh? Me?"
Yotsuya Miko pointed to herself, looking utterly confused.
Immediately after, Yotsuya Miko quickly reacted.
This, this, this... Could it be that this Mr. Demon has taken a fancy to my tender flesh and wants to eat me?
It's over~
Out of the tiger's den, into the wolf's mouth.
Yotsuya Miko's face turned pale with fright, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
She widened her eyes in terror, shaking her hands repeatedly: "No... don't eat me, I don't taste good!"
Ye Xiao looked at her expression and couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "Who wants to eat you? I mean for you to become my familiar, to become a demon."
Yotsuya Miko froze for a moment, suspecting she had misheard: "Become... a demon?"
"That's right, become a demon and gain extraordinary power. That way, you won't have to fear these evil spirits, and once you're a demon, mere evil spirits can be extinguished with a flick of your hand."
"Besides, student, you don't want to live in fear of evil spirits forever, do you?"
Ye Xiao sat in the air, legs crossed, playing with the orb and smiling.
Yotsuya Miko was momentarily stunned; it seemed she had been cornered.
Is it better to be a human, constantly threatened by evil spirits and in mortal danger, or to be a demon, free from fear and able to fight evil spirits?
This... it seems there's no choice.
After making her choice, Yotsuya Miko also found herself unusually calm.
She had no resistance towards the Mr. Demon.
Since there's an extraordinary path, why not choose it?
She imagined it for a moment.
Waking up every day to a ghost face screaming in her face.
Especially when going to the bathroom and showering...
Yotsuya Miko began her self-psychological construction.
Ye Xiao also watched quietly, not speaking, waiting for Yotsuya Miko's decision.
After a while, Yotsuya Miko's gaze became firm.
She, Yotsuya Miko, was no longer going to be human!
She wanted to become a Mr. Demon!
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, I have."
Facing Ye Xiao's inquiry, Yotsuya Miko also nodded.
Ye Xiao looked at Yotsuya Miko and said, "Then speak your answer."
"Humans have limitations, so Mr. Demon, please transform me into a Mr. Demon. I, Yotsuya Miko, will no longer be human!"
