The consciousness in the spiritual sea was instantly infuriated, but at the same time, it was scared sh * tless!
It wasn't very strong.
It was just a strand of consciousness that Xiahou Ziyue's master had left in her body through the Soul Controlling Art.
It had to wait until Xiahou Ziyue was completely controlled before this strand of consciousness could grow bit by bit and become stronger and stronger.
Finally, it would completely occupy Xiahou Ziyue's body, which was extremely talented in Mental Energy.
But before that, this strand of consciousness wasn't very strong.
But no matter how weak it was, it was still something condensed from a divine ability. It wouldn't be a problem for it to kill a little Talisman Artist.
Shirō Makino didn't have much Mental Energy fluctuations on his body.
His talisman was very powerful, but in the eyes of this strand of consciousness, he was just an ant-like little Talisman Artist apprentice!
It could easily destroy a hundred of such ants!
It could easily mess up the spiritual sea of this kind of small Talisman Master!
But it never would have imagined that after entering the spiritual sea that it thought was a pond, it would realize that it wasn't a pond at all. It was a freaking vast ocean!
With the strength of this strand of consciousness, it wouldn't even be able to cause a single wave in this ocean.
Therefore, after Shirō Makino gave that cold reply, the Protoss's consciousness that was originally in Xiahou Ziyue's body only had one thought left — run!
No matter where it ran to, even if it ran and dissipated, it couldn't let this person devour it.
Once this strand of consciousness was devoured, then many secrets would be known by this person.
But while it was good to think about it, it was too difficult to actually do it.
Before this strand of consciousness could act, a monstrous Mental Energy wave surged in Shirō Makino's spiritual sea.
Pa!
It directly slapped this strand of consciousness in.
"Wait …"
Wait your sister!
Shirō Makino rolled his eyes.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
From the moment this consciousness rushed out of Xiahou Ziyue's glabella to the moment it was completely submerged in Shirō Makino's spiritual sea, less than three seconds had passed.
Shirō Makino burped.
He felt extremely bloated.
This is?
The surprise … seemed a bit sudden.
His Spiritual Energy had actually increased!
Shirō Makino was able to sense it even without the help of a machine.
He did not know how much it had increased, but it had definitely increased!
Heh … Mental strength, this thing, can it be increased like this?
In that instant, it was as if a huge door had been pushed open in front of Shirō Makino.
He suddenly recalled that when he was in the Black Domain, he seemed to have this knowledge in his mind. The Talisman Artist's Encyclopedia … seemed to have related records.
But he couldn't remember the content at all.
But it didn't matter, he couldn't remember because his mental strength was sealed.
It wouldn't be too late to learn it after he unlocked the seal in reality.
At this moment, Xiahou Ming had already rushed to the bedside and held his daughter in his arms, looking at her with a worried expression.
"Heh, don't worry. She's fine, but the treatment isn't over yet," Shirō Makino said.
"Is she really fine?" Xiahou Ming looked at Shirō Makino helplessly.
"En, put her down first. I still have to continue. There was an accident just now, "Shirō Makino said.
Xiahou Ming put his daughter down. Seeing her reluctant gaze, he comforted her. "Don't be afraid, Daddy is here."
Xiahou Ziyue was so weak that she couldn't speak, but her eyes were still fixed on her father.
Xiahou Ming then looked at Shirō Makino. "The accident that Gongzi mentioned …"
"It's nothing. A part of the Protoss's consciousness that was parasitizing her body rushed into my mind. It has already been killed, don't worry," Shirō Makino said casually.
Xiahou Ming: (° Д °)
Xiahou Ziyue: (° Д °) ノ
Both father and son had similar expressions. As Xiahou Ming knew more than his daughter, he was just a little shocked and especially surprised.
Xiahou Ziyue, on the other hand, was in disbelief amidst her surprise.
But thinking back to her state just now, she even suspected that she was a little schizophrenic.
Those words were clearly what she thought and said, but why was it completely different from the current her?
So, could it be that there has always been another person's consciousness residing in my body?
This made Xiahou Ziyue feel incomparable fear.
Her eyes also instantly reflected what was going on in her mind.
Shirō Makino said, "Don't worry, you will get better."
With that said, he slapped another control talisman over.
Xiahou Ziyue couldn't move or say anything again … although she couldn't move or say anything in the first place.
But she still felt especially speechless.
Xiahou Ming was also speechless, wondering if there was a need to be so careful.
But to Shirō Makino, he couldn't be careless!
Who knew if that consciousness from before still existed?
If another one popped out … if another one popped out, that would be great!
If eight or ten popped out, would he become a Grandmaster?
Shirō Makino had a look of fantasy on his face.
Control talismans, cleansing talismans, and eliminating adversity talismans continued to be used alternately.
At the same time, Shirō Makino also used some Mental Energy replenishment talismans.
Xiahou Ming, who was watching from the side, was dazzled.
To be honest, he didn't recognize any of these talismans.
Even if Shirō Makino lined them up and placed them in front of him, he wouldn't be able to recognize any of them.
Knowledge is power!
Xiahou Ming was filled with emotions.
And at this moment, Xiahou Ziyue's face no longer had that intense expression of pain from before.
It was obvious that the pain was caused by the strand of Divine Sense.
Shirō Makino began to drink the medicine.
He had no choice, his Mental Energy was too low.
He could only continuously replenish it with Mental Energy Medicine. This thing was still very effective when not in combat.
Half an hour, one hour, two hours … all the way until late at night.
Five hours passed.
Shirō Makino was completely exhausted.
No matter how much he replenished himself with Mental Energy Medicine, continuous combat like this was tiring.
Xiahou Ming didn't move, but the worry in his eyes gradually disappeared.
This was because Xiahou Ziyue's condition was clearly improving.
As Shirō Makino used the last Eliminating Adversity Talisman on her, Xiahou Ziyue actually fell asleep.
Her little face was rosy, and she slept very soundly.
Phew!
Shirō Makino finally let out a long breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and looked at Xiahou Ming with a smile. "This is my weakest moment. You have to protect me!"
Xiahou Ming's eyes flickered, and then he smiled bitterly. "Young Master, don't make fun of me. I've already asked someone to prepare food. Let's talk while we eat."
"Hehe, alright." Shirō Makino smiled and nodded.
Xiahou Ming had already accepted his fate.
If he had known that his daughter was like this, he probably wouldn't have made the decision to kill Shirō Makino after his daughter recovered.
He had always felt that his daughter's illness was caused by herself. As long as she was willing, she could definitely cure her at any time.
He spent three billion to invite Shirō Makino over just to kill him!
Now, he finally understood how wrong he was. Not only did he invite a god that couldn't be sent away, his daughter's problem was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Xiahou Ming poured himself a glass of wine. When he looked at Shirō Makino, Shirō Makino automatically poured himself a glass of water.
"People with high Mental Energy can't hold their liquor?" He found it strange.
"You're scolding me." Shirō Makino rolled his eyes. "I don't believe you didn't investigate my Mental Energy before."
"Heh …" Xiahou Ming shook his head. "If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. It's hard to believe that a young man with a Mental Energy of just over twenty could perform so miraculously. "
"Because I'm a genius." Shirō Makino said seriously and naturally.
Xiahou Ming's face darkened. Were all kids nowadays so shameless?
He didn't even blush when he praised himself. It was so natural.
How … envious!
Xiahou Ming raised his glass and said to Shirō Makino, "No matter what, I have to thank you today, Prince! This is a great favor that I will remember for the rest of my life. "
"Mm, I repaid evil with kindness. It's indeed worth remembering. After all, there aren't many people as magnanimous as me. "Shirō Makino nodded.
Xiahou Ming's mouth twitched. He really wanted to throw the glass of wine in his face. But then again, he deserved it.
If he hadn't wanted to kill him, would he have retaliated so fiercely?
If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for failing to raise his daughter all these years. He wanted her to live in an illusory and pure world forever, which ultimately led to this disaster.
"My daughter's illness won't leave behind any hidden dangers, right?" Xiahou Ming took a sip of wine and asked.
"Don't worry, she won't leave behind any hidden dangers. I don't need to use her to threaten you," Shirō Makino said.
F * ck!
You didn't use my daughter to threaten me?
Then what's with the Protoss?
But he couldn't say that out loud. That would be too stupid.
If he had such an opportunity, he wouldn't let it go!
"By the way, Prince, how many months will it take for Ziyue to fully recover?" Xiahou Ming asked.
"How many months?" Shirō Makino was slightly taken aback. He said casually, "It'll be over by today! She's fine now. She just needs to rest for a few days, and she'll be exceptionally healthy. "
Xiahou Ming stared at Shirō Makino, dumbfounded. "But Prince, didn't you say …"
"Hey, I've said too much. At that time, I just wanted to make your family bleed a little more. In a few months, your daughter's illness won't be cured without one or two billion." Shirō Makino said casually.
F * ck!
No matter how calm Xiahou Ming was, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This bastard is too greedy!
We've already paid you three billion, and you still want to scam us for one or two billion worth of talisman materials?
"Then, if these messy things didn't happen, would Young Master have used the materials provided by our family to make the talismans, beat our people all the way, and then happily returned home?" Xia Houming asked as if he was complaining.
"Hey, see, I told you that you're a sly old fox. You even thought of this. Smart!" Shirō Makino gave him a thumbs up.
Damn it, I shouldn't have asked!
Xiahou Ming raised his wine glass, tilted his neck, and drank the wine.
There was no need to say anything else. It was all in the wine.
If he continued, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his tears.
"By the way, Sherlie …"
Sherlie?
Xiahou Ming was stunned for a moment before he realized that Sherlie was calling him.
No one had ever called him that since he was young.
But this person in front of him was calling him that … Fine, as long as you're happy.
"Mm." Sherlie nodded.
"Don't you know that your daughter is a Mental Energy Genius? To be more accurate, she should be considered a top-notch genius. Although she isn't at the level of a national treasure, she is definitely at the top in Li Ming City. Even in the entire Fairy Realm, there aren't many geniuses like her, "Shirō Makino said calmly as he drank a mouthful of water.
"Huh?" Xiahou Ming's chopsticks dropped a piece of vegetable on the table, but he didn't notice it.
"Are you joking?" He looked at the vegetable that had dropped on the table, picked it up, and placed it on the napkin that he had placed on the table. He then pulled out another napkin and wiped the table carefully as he asked.
"I'm not joking. Do you still remember when she was agitated at the beginning, when all the furniture in the room was shaking?" Shirō Makino looked at Xiahou Ming. "That wasn't caused by the Protoss. It was caused by your daughter's powerful Mental Energy."
"That's impossible! Ever since she was young, I don't know how many times she has been tested. Previously, I suspected that she was cursed by herself, so I found many powerful Talisman Artist to observe her in secret. Regardless of whether it was the various instruments or the Talisman Artist, they all gave me the same answer. They said that Ziyue is an ordinary person without any Mental Energy Talent. "
"That's because the people you found are not good enough," Shirō Makino said calmly. "What do you mean by powerful Talisman Artist? Grandmaster? Grandmaster? Or Divine Talisman Master? "
Xiahou Ming was speechless.
Where the hell am I going to find a Grandmaster Talisman Artist?
A Senior Talisman Artist is already very impressive, okay?
Mister, you're just a Junior Talisman Artist, right?
"Anyway, I told you that your daughter's Mental Energy is very strong, far beyond her peers. Whether you want her to learn Talisman Techniques, it's up to you. But I feel that there's definitely a problem with the way you're training her, "Shirō Makino said as he ate.
There wasn't anything special about the dinner at a super-rich family's banquet. It was just that the ingredients were very good, and it was personally prepared by a human chef. The taste was quite good, and it suited Shirō Makino's taste.
"How could she possibly have such a high Mental Energy Talent?" Xiahou Ming still found it hard to accept this fact.
"In your family, did any of your ancestors have a particularly strong Mental Energy Talisman Artist?" Shirō Makino looked at him and asked.
Xiahou Ming shook his head. "In ancient times, my ancestors were rich, but in modern times, they've long since become a small family. Even during my great-grandfather's generation, they were still very ordinary. My grandfather's Spiritual Energy Talent was quite good, and he met a benefactor when he was young … Actually, he was just a small leader in the organization. Back then, my grandfather had a good opinion of my grandfather, and after some training, he slowly gained a bit of status. Then, in a battle, my grandfather was unfortunately killed. Because he had accumulated a lot of merits, my father was absorbed into the organization. "
Xiahou Ming's father was even more outstanding than his grandfather. After joining the organization, he was quickly promoted to the position of Liming City's Regional Leader.
It was then that their family truly began their road to prosperity.
"Actually, the black industry isn't as scary as outsiders think. How should I put it? It's just those types of businesses. The brothel is the place with the most information, the casino is the place where the money comes in the fastest, the loan sharks are the ones who scam people, and the biggest scam is the loan sharks in the casino!"
As he spoke, Xiahou Ming glanced at Shirō Makino. "I've already had my men return Li Nannan's money, and I've also given her three times the original amount."
"When did that happen?" Shirō Makino was slightly taken aback.
"In the afternoon, when you were giving Zi Yue treatment, I had my men do it," Xiahou Ming said.
Shirō Makino glanced at him. "Among your businesses, don't you have another one?"
"You mean … those hallucinogens?" Xiahou Ming shook his head. "We never touch those things. If anyone does it on our territory, we'll chase them out."
"Since Young Master has more information than me, you should know that this is an ancient organization that has existed for a long time. Actually, in the earliest days, the organization only operated two types of businesses. One was the brothel, and the other was the casino. As for the loan sharks … they only came into existence after His Highness King Qi came up. "
"In any case, they aren't good people," Shirō Makino said, shaking his head.
Xiahou Ming nodded. "Young Master is right. But then again, the businesses we run never take the initiative to look for people. It's always people looking for us."
"That's right. That's why I said that even if you don't do the things you do, there will be others who do it." Shirō Makino nodded.
As he spoke, Shirō Makino looked at Xiahou Ming and asked, "What plans do you have for the future? I'd like to hear it. "
The two of them chatted in the restaurant until late.
The next morning, when Shirō Makino woke up for breakfast, he saw that Xiahou Ziyue had already come out. She was sitting at the dining table, waiting.
"You're up?" Xiahou Ziyue smiled sweetly at him.
"How do you feel?" Shirō Makino asked with a smile.
Du Duo 'er smiled and said, "She has been praising you all morning!"
"Sister Duo 'er!" Xiahou Ziyue said shyly. Then, her face turned slightly red. "What I said is the truth. It's not a compliment."
Although Du Duo 'er was appointed by Shirō Makino to be his follower, she rarely saw Shirō Makino these days.
He basically hid in his study and drew talismans. He didn't allow anyone to disturb him.
She originally thought that this was a good job. When she had nothing to do, she could look at a handsome guy. It was also pleasing to the eye.
In the end, she was alone in an empty room … Pui pui pui, she was alone in the living room. She didn't see Shirō Makino's figure every day.
As for the confrontation between Xiahou Ming and Shirō Makino, she was completely unaware of Xiahou Ming's schemes against Shirō Makino.
In Du Duo 'er's eyes, President Xiahou Ming was a true super businessman, a domineering president.
He was elegant, handsome, calm, and magnanimous.
Most importantly, he was super rich.
This kind of middle-aged man was lethal to a young woman of Du Duo 'er's age.
Unfortunately, President Xiahou Ming only had eyes for his wife and daughter. There was no room for anyone else.
Even as Xiahou Ming's personal assistant, Du Duo 'er didn't even have a chance.
Therefore, Du Duo 'er had long given up on such thoughts.
This was actually quite good.
It was better to rely on one's ability than one's looks.
After breakfast, Du Duo 'er could tell that Xiahou Ziyue had something to say to Shirō Makino. She tactfully left the dining room.
Xiahou Ziyue looked at Shirō Makino and said softly, "Are you going to leave once I'm done?"
Shirō Makino nodded.
"I can feel that my father's attitude towards you is different from before." Xiahou Ziyue looked at Shirō Makino. "Did you guys secretly make some kind of deal?"
Yes, they had secretly made a deal, but you would never be able to imagine it!
Looking at the innocent Xiahou Ziyue, Shirō Makino chuckled. "Your father sold you to me."
Xiahou Ziyue raised her head and looked at Shirō Makino in surprise. "Really?"
