Zhang Tianzhen laughed and said, "We don't have canned yellow peaches, but we have oranges."
"Oranges are fine too, she loves them too."
Hu Xiaoniu went to the cabin to get some canned food.
When Maki Jinguji saw the canned goods, her eyes lit up: "Awesome!"
Zhang Tianzhen: "???"
Hu Xiaoniu's eyebrows shot up to the sky: "Xiao Tongyun, what exactly are you teaching her?!"
Zhang Tianzhen, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated: "Xiao Tongyun, have you really been teaching her Chinese diligently all this time?"
"Of course there is..." Xiao Tongyun said guiltily, "She taught herself... um, taught herself."
After the two little girls finished their meal in the cabin, Maki Jinguji suddenly whispered, "I feel... ever since I climbed Aoyama, my body has been a little..."
"Hmm? What do you want to say? Is there something wrong with your body?" Li Tongyun asked curiously.
Maki hesitated for a moment: "It's a bit... difficult?"
Zhang Tianzhen complained, "You're teaching way too many different things!"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Tongyun asked with concern, "Where exactly are you feeling unwell? I didn't hear Brother Qingchen mention any aftereffects from completing the life-or-death trial, did I?"
"Ugh," Maki patted her chest.
The next moment, the shikigami Momiji suddenly materialized from the chest of Jinguji Maki.
Everyone was startled. What was this?
Li Tongyun shouted, "Be careful! This is the shikigami that Brother Qingchen transferred to her. I don't know how it got out!"
Everyone was on high alert. Chen Zhuoqu immediately found a crowbar in the cabin and prepared to swing it at Hongye Shou.
However, after the red maple appeared, it did not harm anyone. Instead, it landed lightly in front of Maki Jinguji and performed a deep bow of respect.
The next moment, white foxfire and a strange shadow woman floated out together!
Let's go down to worship together.
The cabin fell silent; everyone was too shocked to speak by this sudden turn of events.
The crowd gradually quieted down: "The shikigami from the Age of Gods? Why are they kneeling before Senior Sister?"
Li Tongyun asked softly, "Can you control them? Make them stand up?"
Jinguji Maki nodded, and the three shikigami stood up.
Li Tongyun looked at Maki with astonishment. She knew that the Onmyoji of the Kamishiro Group had to be at least C-rank to summon a shikigami.
One can be summoned at Rank C.
A B-rank summon can summon three.
A-rank summons six.
A rank S can summon twelve.
Jinguji Maki has never trained in the Onmyoji tradition, and she has only just passed a life-or-death hurdle to reach rank F, yet she has already summoned three shikigami to submit to her?!
So, wouldn't an E-rank summon six, a D-rank summon twelve, a C-rank summon twenty-four, and a B-rank...?
If Shinki were to reach the demigod realm, it would truly be a horde of demons.
It turns out that the ancient records were not lying; there really were people who could command a hundred ghosts to parade at night!
Does that mean the descendants of the Genji family can do whatever they want?
Li Tongyun hesitated for a moment: "Have Hongye Shou arm wrestle with me."
After the arm wrestling match, she suddenly looked at Maki.
Everyone says that a shikigami's level follows its master.
But Maki is only F-rank, yet the Momiji she summons already has C-rank strength? C-rank shikigami are the lower limit of all shikigami; they can't go any lower.
At this moment, Maki still has many shikigami hidden within her body, including the giant whale that was originally hidden on Whale Island, as well as those that Qingchen helped her capture: Mirage, Flying Head, Mountain Child, Unfallen Unfallen, White Tiger...
Once Jinguji Maki completes two life-or-death trials and reaches rank D, she can summon twelve rank C shikigami. This ability would even frighten rank B shikigami...
The knights' style of fighting in groups gradually became outrageous by the time of Qing Chen's generation.
Not only are there many knights, but there are also freaks like Maki who can carry twelve or even one hundred and ninety-two knights at a time.
This is outrageous!
Li Tongyun knew that Jinguji Maki was a beta tester, so she wondered if this little girl was someone that demigod surnamed Yan had specifically chosen to destroy the Kamishiro family.
That's very targeted.
Hu Xiaoniu asked in a low voice, "Does Master know about this?"
Li Tongyun shook her head blankly: "He doesn't know, and I only just found out myself. No, I have to cultivate diligently, otherwise I won't even be qualified to be her protector!"
Originally, Li Tongyun thought that she could easily improve her talent with some practice.
But now, Maki Jinguji's bloodline talent has made even a genius like her feel a sense of urgency!
We absolutely have to roll it up!
The captain's voice rang out from inside the plane: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to land."
Hu Xiaoniu called out to everyone: "After the plane lands, please pretend to be real porters. Don't be pretentious or lazy."
After the plane landed, Li Tongyun realized the seriousness of the situation and actually called Qingchen: "Brother Qingchen, Maki can summon shikigami now, and there are so many of them..."
As Xiaotongyun described the whole story, Qingchen on the other end of the phone suddenly froze.
Oh my god!
At one moment, Qingchen suddenly sensed the sorrow of his master, Li Shutong.
Li Shutong was worried about where to find so many forbidden items.
What troubled Qingchen was where to find so many shikigami for Xiaozhenji.
This might be the legendary cycle of cause and effect...
At the speed of the Knight's Life and Death Challenge, in just another six months, this little guy will be able to control at least forty-eight shikigami. He's still a long way from that!
Qing Chen, sitting on the cruise ship, almost hung up the phone: "Okay, I understand..."
...
...
On the cruise ship, Yangyang and Qingchen stood on the deck.
The girl tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong with our daughter?"
"Hmm...?" Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. Even with his intelligence, he didn't know how to answer that sentence for a moment: "Wait a minute, I feel like there's something wrong with what you said."
"Then let me ask again, what happened to Maki?" Yangyang asked curiously.
"It's alright. The girl's talent is even more amazing than I predicted. She can summon shikigami at only F-rank, and she even summoned three in one go," Qing Chen sighed.
"That's a good thing, she can protect herself now," Chen Yangyang said casually. "I heard from Xiao Tongyun that you initially used the alias Chen Nian at the academy? What, you took your wife's surname?"
Qing Chen: "...Don't your skills have any cooldowns?"
This time, only Qingchen and Yangyang traveled to Nepal by cruise ship to climb Mount Everest.
When they were alone, this girl drove so fast that she practically wanted to run Qingchen over with her car wheels.
Moreover, it involves repeatedly crushing the target.
Qingchen thought for a moment and asked, "Actually, you shouldn't have come this time; it would have been very dangerous."
“What are you afraid of? I am your protector. When you pass the life-or-death test, it is only natural that I should stay by your side. Besides, you still owe me a honeymoon trip,” Yangyang said.
"When did I start owing you a honeymoon trip...?"
“I’ve already told everyone, the whole world knows we went on our honeymoon,” Yangyang replied.
"What about the Barents Sea incident?" Qing Chen asked.
Yangyang's lips suddenly curled up: "So, you consider that trip you took together as your honeymoon? Wow, it started back then!"
Qing Chen: "...Aba aba aba."
"By the way, what was it you wanted to discuss with me about?" Yangyang asked curiously.
“I’ve snatched the forbidden ACE-055 revolver, which is unrelated to fate,” Qing Chen said. “You don’t have a forbidden item yet, so I want to give it to you to use.”
This decision was made after careful consideration by Qing Chen. First of all, he could not use this forbidden item.
Because downgraded bullets would cause fatal annihilation when they hit ordinary people, and Qing Chen would even have to maintain a reverse breathing technique for up to a month to return to his ordinary human identity during the time it took to complete this life-or-death ordeal.
If you fire a downgraded bullet, he will die.
But Yangyang is different. She is a force field awakener, a rare find in a century, and a backbone force within Bai Zhou, as well as Qing Chen's protector.
If Yangyang uses the upgrade bullet, she will have a direction to continue to break through. If this girl can reach the demigod level, she may be able to shoot down even a Class A airship from a distance.
Therefore, Yangyang's interests are aligned with Qingchen's at this time. Her enhancement directly benefits Qingchen, the Parents' Association, and Bai Zhou.
Yangyang leaned against the deck railing. Today, she had her hair in braids and was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt. When she stretched out, you could see her abs and belly button: "A token of love?"
"Ahem, this thing is a divine artifact for awakened beings. Give it a try first," Qing Chen said. "Although the probability of upgrading the bullets is small, if you manage to fire one, your advancement to A-level will be guaranteed."
"Then what should I give you?" Yangyang said with a smile. "I can't just accept something taboo from you for no reason. How about this, come back to my room with me, I have a gift for you."
“I’m not that kind of person,” Qing Chen said righteously.
"What are you thinking about?" Yangyang smiled brightly. "You've been talking to me like that all day, but now you've become smart. It's the forbidden item I found in the wilderness, the ACE-240, the universal charger."
"Hmm?" Qing Chen asked in confusion, "This thing isn't recorded much in the Hu Clan's intelligence agency; it seems quite mysterious. Where did you find it?"
“What you find from the wilderness is like a bunch of people in the 1990s going to villages to dig for antiques. Many wilderness people actually have forbidden items they’ve picked up, but they don’t know the purpose of the forbidden items or how valuable they are,” Yangyang said, leaning gently on Qingchen’s shoulder on the deck. “This was originally intended as a birthday present for you. Now that you’ve given me a revolver, I’ll give it to you in advance.”
"What can a universal charger be used for? Have you tried it?" Qingchen asked curiously.
“It can be used once a month and can recharge anything that consumes energy in an instant. In the past, some people in the wilderness used it to refuel off-road vehicles with diesel. However, it’s not very useful if you can only use it once a month, but you will really need this,” Yangyang said.
"I need it?" Qing Chen asked, puzzled.
“Yes, both you and your master’s cloud energy depleted all the knight’s true energy in your bodies in one go,” Yangyang said with a smile. “It’s such a pity that such a powerful ability can only be used once. This universal charger can just increase your cloud energy to twice.”
