Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

"To collect souls."

Chi Chufeng said casually.

"Whose soul?"

Xia Jiang felt his heart pounding.

Chi Chufeng looked at her and said with a smile, "It's from your grandfather, Hatamoto Gozo."

"He couldn't rest in peace after he died, so he stayed on your head."

Chi Chufeng was a kind person and did not mention any other possibilities.

As for Takeshi Hatamoto, he's already dead, so there's no need to show him to anyone.

Xia Jiang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can I...can I see Grandpa?"

Chi Chufeng thought for a moment and nodded.

Using his Eye of Space, Xia Jiang immediately saw the figure of Hatamoto Gozo before him.

"Grandpa, it really is you, Grandpa!"

The girl's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Upon entering Chi Chufeng's soul space, his soul gained some consciousness.

He watched as his granddaughter forced a smile.

"Grandpa, what should I do? You're dead, and Xiaowu is dead too. How am I supposed to live on all by myself?"

Large tears streamed down her delicate face.

Hatamoto Gozo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Since the soul has no vocal cords, it cannot make a sound unless it cultivates the right magic.

“You can ask him some questions, and his spirit can nod or shake its head.”

Chi Chufeng kindly reminded him.

Then he gave a demonstration: "Do you want Xia Jiang to inherit the family headship?"

Hatamoto Gozo's soul was immediately stirred, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Me? Inherit the position of family head?"

Xia Jiang was stunned.

Chi Chufeng said, "You don't know yet, do you? Your grandfather left a will a long time ago, bequeathing the entire Hatamoto family to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thought struck him.

It's possible that Tatsuo Hatamoto sat on Natsue's head because of this obsession.

"Can I really do this?"

As Xia Jiang wiped away her tears, she murmured to herself, "Without Grandpa's guidance, could I really manage the Hatamoto family well?"

She suddenly paused, then grabbed Chi Chufeng's hand with a look of joy on her face.

"Chichusang, can you keep my grandfather's spirit so that I can receive his guidance often?"

"To preserve his soul?"

Chi Chufeng hesitated, "The cycle of life and death is the law of the mortal world, and leaving behind a soul would require a great deal of my magical power..."

"I'm willing to pay any price," Xia Jiang pleaded, clinging to Chi Chufeng's arm. "Please, this is the only way I can keep going."

In the soul space, both the souls of Hatamoto Gozo and Hatamoto Takeshi showed pleading expressions.

Hatamoto Tatsuo, however, showed no expression whatsoever.

He's only obsessed with money; he doesn't care about anything else.

"Ok."

After being cuddled and rubbed against by someone, the kind-hearted Chi Chufeng finally relented.

He reached out and lifted Xia Jiang's smooth, fair chin.

"Chichu Sang, what... what are you going to do?"

Xia Jiang stared wide-eyed, but dared not struggle, for fear of angering the Onmyoji and destroying his grandfather's soul.

"As I said, preserving a soul requires a lot of magical power, and I need to replenish it..."

He spoke as he kissed her.

Chapter 25 The Hatamoto Trio Get Furious

Inside the space, Hatamoto Gozo, Hatamoto Takeshi, and Hatamoto Tatsuo were all furious.

This Onmyoji actually took advantage of someone's misfortune.

My granddaughter!

My wife!

My sister-in-law!

The three spirits let out a silent, mournful wail.

Before you could see, the three souls swelled up as if inflated by air.

Nourished, nourished, nourished.

Three soft sounds.

Magic instantly fills the body.

Chi Chufeng licked his lips comfortably.

It smells so good!

I was really after the magic, and definitely not lusting after Xia Jiang's body.

Magic device?

Chi Chufeng held Xia Jiang in his mouth while pondering to himself.

There's no Harry Potter in this world, so where would you find a wand or something like that?

Wait, something's not right. There seems to be a girl named Koizumi Akako who has a magic wand.

Hehe, that thing is mine now.

As his arm suddenly sank, Chi Chufeng quickly raised his head.

Oh no, Xia Jiang has fainted due to prolonged oxygen deprivation.

Thump, thump, thump.

Three loud noises came from the soul space, just like firecrackers.

Chi Chufeng gave the girl artificial respiration while glancing at her.

The entire trio of Hatamoto exploded.

Only three soul skins remained, drooping on top of the hair.

It's so miserable.

Magic Absorption.

Because of the explosion, the magic power that was spreading in the space was immediately absorbed into Chi Chufeng's body.

That was so awesome!

....

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chi Chufeng used his predictive magic to search everywhere.

Contrary to expectations, the materials for the magical artifact were countless.

The most common type is cherry wood.

You can make a magic wand just by breaking off any piece of wood.

Other woods include acacia, alder, apple, ash, aspen, blackthorn, black walnut, cedar, chestnut, and so on.

It's fair to say that you can make a magic wand from almost any tree branch.

As for the results, they were simply unbearable to watch.

Even the best tree branch can only store one percent of magic power or increase casting speed by one percent.
