Kapitel 4

"What? A school janitor encountered a monster in the teaching building? Damn it, Ayan and the others aren't here." Feng Yin couldn't help but shout, but he quickly laughed: "But, it'll be fine with me here! However, my salary will increase by 30%!"

Reply [21]: Great!

Reply [22]: Are these the two school workers who were attacked by the monster? They don't seem to be seriously injured, just foaming at the mouth and confused. They are sealed in the building that has been secretly sealed by the school and are checking on the two school workers who are still in shock with Shinichi.

"Hey, has anyone seen what that monster looks like?"

One of them stammered, his voice trembling, "I...I saw it! It was...it was terrifying!"

The seal pressed on impatiently, "What does it look like? Tell me!"

"A monster covered in hair, resembling both a human and a beast!" Fang Tian said, describing the last thing he saw before his spirit gave out and he fainted.

Hairy? Like a human, like a beast? And that monster was clearly only meant to scare people, not to eat them. So, if I remember correctly, this should be it! Examining the monster's fallen fur and analyzing the information, a smug look appeared on Fengyin's face. Alright, now it's time to go back to the dorm to get my magical tools to subdue the monster!

After saying goodbye to Teacher Xin Yi, Feng Yin hurried back to the Heavenly Spirit Room. To his surprise, Dongfang Yan was waiting for him at the door with a faint smile. Feng Yin exclaimed with delight, "Hey, why are you back so early?"

"I got a call from that old fox, so I had to come back! I know everything. Here, take this."

The seal smiled as it saw the pair of glasses and stack of talismans that Dongfang Yan held in her hand. "I know what to do," it said, before running quite a distance. Dongfang Yan yelled, "Hey, I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Hmph~ I'll know whether you're human or demon the moment I put on these glasses! Trying to transform? You can't escape my discerning eyes! Prepare to die, you demon scum who kept this handsome man from sleeping!" Fengyin put on his glasses and slowly observed the passersby. There were very few people walking around the academy now; most were already fast asleep. So, nine times out of ten, those walking at night were demons! Oh, a boy carrying a book is coming from the opposite direction, but I can't see him through the glasses! Demon, now you'd better show your true form! Fengyin chuckled inwardly, tightening his grip on the talisman in his hand.

"Hey kid, what's wrong with you? Why are you sticking paper on my face? I didn't lose a card game with you, why are you sticking it on my beard!" To Fengyin's surprise, the person didn't react to the talisman at all, so Fengyin could only chuckle awkwardly and quickly left.

How could this be? Could it be...? A light shone in the sealed eyes: I understand, after all, there can only be one truth!

"What should I call you again, Ayan? Ha, demon, stop pretending and show your true colors!"

---janeadam

Reply [23]: Dongfang Yan's face showed a rare look of astonishment: "Me? Demon? Boy Feng, you must be mistaken?"

The seal laughed: "Actually, I should have suspected you a long time ago. You shouldn't have come back so early. Even if the principal notified you, you would be hundreds of miles away, and it would be tomorrow morning before you could get back. Also, the demon-revealing glasses you gave me were fake, so I would mistake people for demons. Do you have anything else to say?"

Dongfang Yan gave a wry smile: "I have nothing to say, but you still have to believe them, right?" He pointed behind him.

"Them?" The seal looked over from the side.

"I'm really fed up with you, you idiot! You even doubted Dongfang! It's hilarious!" Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, Fengyin immediately shouted, "You pervert! Guangyan! What are you doing here?!"

“We actually didn’t want to go anymore halfway there, so we came back to keep you company. Also, Feng boy, I haven’t explained how to use those glasses yet. How do you know how to use them?” As Dongfang Yan spoke, Feng Yin’s face turned red, a rare occurrence.

"Alright, let's work together now! Sealing, what do you think this demon is?"

"Judging from the demon's appearance, body hair, and personality, it should be either a werewolf or a fox demon, with the latter being more likely. So I thought you were it in disguise, Ah Yan. You know, foxes are masters of transformation and bewitching people!"

Dongfang Yan pondered for a moment: "It seems it wants to play with us. So everyone come over here, we'll do this and that..."

"Why do we always have to operate at night? Seriously," Ye Cuo, who loved to sleep, muttered under his breath. They had split up ten minutes earlier to hunt monsters in various parts of the campus; Ye Cuo was responsible for the south side. Hmm, there seems to be a figure moving ahead. Who is it? Ye Cuo put on his monster-detecting glasses and bravely went to meet it.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted~" Fengyin yawned, covering his mouth with his hand. He'd been searching for ages and hadn't seen a single demon. Honestly, not a demon, not even a single hair! He found a place to sit and decided to rest for a while. His glasses were making his eyes sore, so he took them off. Ah, the cool night breeze and fragrant flowers—he really wanted to just fall asleep.

"Hey, wake up!" Damn it, who's calling me? Fengyin rubbed his eyes, and there stood the four members of Tianling. The four members of Tianling? How could this be? Aren't I here? Fengyin immediately shouted, "That's a demon! Quickly, catch it!"

Before Dongfang Yan and the other two could speak, the seal cried out, "He's the demon! Catch it!"

"What do we do now? Even with the demon-revealing mirror, we can't tell who the demons are. How are we supposed to tell them apart?" Guangyan felt a headache coming on.

---janeadam

Reply [24]: Ye Cuo thought for a while: "It's not bad now. At least we know that one of them is fake. It's better for it to come to us by itself than for us to go through the trouble of looking for it."

The two men turned their gazes to Dongfang Yan, who was pondering: "Those who aren't afraid of my Demon-Revealing Mirror must have at least several hundred years of cultivation. This fox demon can impersonate Feng Xiaozhi perfectly. What can we do now? If we use spiritual power to attack, it might damage the seal. So this is the only way."

Watching the two identical seals arguing and nearly coming to blows, Dongfang Yan said calmly, "Xiao Cuo, Guang Yan, each of you keep an eye on one seal. I'll ask you a few questions, and then we'll know who the fake one is!"

"Really? That demon looks exactly like me. Can you really tell the difference? Your lousy demon-revealing mirror doesn't work at all~" The seal on the left complained irritably.

The one on the right immediately retorted: "Even Ah Yan doesn't believe you, you demon, why don't you show yourself?"

"Stop arguing! First question, what's Ye Cuo's nickname?"

The two seals answered in unison: "Dead monster!"

(Dongfang, could you please not ask this question in front of me? Seeing the two seals simultaneously and perfectly synchronize the correct answer, Ye Cuo felt an urge to punch them.)

"Second question: How much money did you seal inside the essay collection book?"

Both seals were stunned for a moment, and the one on the left shouted, "Ayan, you've been peeking at where I store my money!"

Dongfang Yan pretended not to hear: "Can you tell me how much money it is?"

The seal on the left read out in one breath: "Nineteen thousand eighty-one yuan and fifty-nine cents!"

The three of them have now formed a triangular formation to surround the other seal. Dongfang Yan said coldly, "A fake is a fake. No matter how much you pretend, it's not real. No matter how much you know about the seal, there are many more things about it that you don't know. Now, admit defeat!"

"Don't think you can catch me so easily. Show me what you've got!" Seeing this damned demon who had kept him up all night swaggering in front of him in the guise of the boy he hated, Ye Cuo quickly threw his flying knife.

Although physical attacks are generally ineffective against demons, Ye Cuo's throwing knives were coated with talisman water, making them very powerful. The fake seal instantly reverted to its true form, allowing him to dodge at high speed.

"Wow, what an adorable little white fox!" Guangyan, who naturally loves beautiful things, was completely captivated by its appearance and forgot to attack. The little fox seized the opportunity to make its escape. (Just kidding, I only like to play, I don't fight!)

Bang! A powerful fist struck the little fox accurately~~ The revenge for the hard work of sealing it away all night has finally been taken! Dongfang Yan immediately summoned the spirit sword [Hen], and as he pointed the sword tip, the little fox was enveloped in a ball of white light.

"Fox Spirit Technique - Fire Dance Tail!" In a flash of white light, the little fox's tail transformed into a fiery rope that lashed out in all directions, while the white light gradually weakened amidst the flames.

"Seal it, use a talisman! Ye Cuo, throw a knife! Guang Yan, stop spacing out, recite the incantation I taught you!"

Talismans, swords, knives, and incantations formed a powerful demon-slaying array. In a second, the four of them finally vanquished the demons who dared to torment them! This night was truly long.

Reply [25]: Today is Sunday, and the students don't have to attend classes. The four members of the Tianling team are also relaxing leisurely in their dormitory. "Ah, I'm so bored, I'm going out for a walk." Fengyin said and ran out. Ye Cuo slowly stretched: "I think I have something I haven't finished. I'll go out and take a look." Ye Cuo also followed and went out. Guangyan couldn't help but look at Dongfang Yan: "Captain, are you going out too?" Dongfang Yan exclaimed: "Oh dear, today is the meeting of the presidents of each department of the student council. I'm sorry, I have to go out." Watching the three of them hurriedly walk out, Guangyan sighed and continued to sleep.

"What should I buy? A music box? Too expensive, and not suitable; a dress? But I don't know how to choose... What should I give as a gift?" Feng Yin paced back and forth in the academy's shopping street, his hands practically dripping with money. Hey, what's that glittering in the flowerbed over there? A casual glance revealed something sparkling in the flowers. "A diamond ring would be perfect, or a gold ring would be nice too, just the right gift!" Lost in thought, Feng Yin quickly walked over.

"Excuse me, could you please get me a piece of clothing? Yes, the sky blue one." On another street, Ye Cuo was selecting beautiful women's clothing. Today, he was casually wearing a loose T-shirt, his hair tied back with a ribbon. As Ye Cuo carefully compared which piece of clothing in his hands was more suitable, someone gently tapped his shoulder.

Ye Cuo turned around and saw a handsome, unfamiliar boy looking at him. Ye Cuo asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

The boy looked at him with utmost seriousness, offering him a flower: "I like you. Although I don't know your name, grade, hobbies, personality, or bad habits, please believe in love at first sight! When you first came here, I was captivated by your elegant demeanor and melancholic eyes!"

"I am indeed outstanding, that's an undeniable fact." Ye Cuo no longer blushed when saying this. "Are you sure you like me?"

"I'm sure!"

"But I'm not gay." Ye Cuo said this casually.

"I know, I don't know either...!" The other person stopped halfway through their sentence, their mouth agape: "You're a man?!"

"Yes, I am Ye Cuo, a first-year medical student."

Discovering that Ye Cuo was one of his strongest contenders for the title of school heartthrob, the boy walked away dejectedly, muttering, "Damn it, why are you buying girls' clothes, you're a guy!"

Ye Cuo smiled and said, "Boss, please wrap this up for me. I'll take it."

Guangyan woke up satisfied after sleeping until noon. As soon as she got up, she exclaimed, "Wow! Who bought so many delicious dishes?"

With a beaming smile, Dongfang Yan placed the roast chicken on the table: "Get up and eat, let's see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."

"Captain, did you make this? Mmm, it's so delicious!" After tasting a piece of spicy chicken on the table, Guangyan found it indescribably fresh, smooth, and spicy.

Dongfang Yan smiled at her: "Yes, I borrowed the housekeeping kitchen this morning under the guise of the Chinese department. When Xiao Cuo and Feng Xiaozi come back, we can have a proper meal!"

Reply [26]: "We're back!" Everyone arrived, and Feng Yin, full of pride, pulled Ye Cuo in. The latter took out a snow-white lady's dress from behind her back and handed it to Guang Yan: "Happy birthday, Guang Yan! I hope you like it!"

Wow~ Guangyan was overjoyed that the three of them knew it was her birthday today, and even more so that they would buy her a gift. "Thank you, senior!"

"I bought a gift too!" Feng Yin proudly took out a small box. Guang Yan took it and opened it: Wow, what a beautiful crystal! The pink crystal was carved into a heart shape and shimmered with a faint red light.

"Come on, let's eat and talk." Dongfang Yan pulled the three of them to sit down at the table.

"By the way, how did you know it was my birthday today?" Guangyan asked casually while eating spicy braised pork intestines.

Feng Yin and Ye Cuo immediately turned their gazes to Dongfang Yan. The former said meaningfully, "Ayan even knows where I keep my secret stash of money. Finding out your birthday is a piece of cake for him!"

After giving the noisy boy a hard tap with his chopsticks, Dongfang Yan said with satisfaction, "Eat your food, Feng boy! Today is the birthday of Guangyan, the cutest boy in our dorm. Let's go out and have some fun after we finish eating. It's on me!"

"Yes!" the seal leader cheered.

As he ate, Fengyin felt something buzzing around his ear. He didn't say anything, but secretly reached for a fly swatter. "Die, you stinky fly!" Fengyin picked up the swatter, ready to swat it.

"No!" a tiny voice cried out in utter terror.

Dongfang Yan immediately shouted, "Stop! Seal it!"

The fly slowly circled once and landed on the table. With a flash of light, it transformed into a tiny figure less than a centimeter tall. The little figure flapped its wings and politely bowed to the four people: "Hello, I am Lumi, an elf who is passing by."

Elf == Fly? The sealed face looked a bit strange, and the beautiful Guangyan almost fainted.

"Lumei, is there something you need from us?" Dongfang Yan remained calm and unfazed.

The little girl lowered her head: "Lumi is too careless, please help me!"

---janeadam

Reply [27]: With Rumi's explanation, the four finally understood what had happened. Rumi is one of the maids serving the princess in the Elf Kingdom. Today, she was ordered to go to the tailor to retrieve the newly made princess dress. However, this playful and careless little elf accidentally lost the dress while playing with the birds on the road! But Rumi discovered that there was a house here with spiritual energy, and she hoped to find a human here who could help her.

"Wait a minute, I have a question for you." Guangyan said slowly (afraid that speaking too loudly would blow Rumi away): "Why are you elves like this? You should be like...pointed ears, green eyes, beautiful wings, definitely not flies!"

Rumi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "You mean a tree spirit, right? There are many kinds of elves! I'm not a fly, I just transformed into this insect because I came to the human world on business~~"

"What kind of clothes did you lose, and where did you lose them?" Ye Cuo asked the question everyone wanted to know the most.

Lumi thought blankly for a while: "Lumi forgot where she dropped it, but it was a very exquisite and beautiful dress."
