Why is my anime art style so weird?

Xu Ming called out cautiously.

The figure slowly turned around, her ruby-like eyes staring intently at Xu Ming, her gaze filled with complex emotions he couldn't decipher.

"Sister, I'm sorry I'm late..."

Xu Ming lowered his voice and whispered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not speak.

Swish!

But the next second, she appeared in front of Xu Ming as if she had teleported.

A faint, cool fragrance wafted into Xu Ming's nostrils.

To Xu Ming's utter astonishment, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly moved closer to him.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Xu Ming asked, puzzled.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not answer.

Suddenly, the tip of her nose twitched slightly.

As Xu Ming was wondering, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression changed. She grabbed Xu Ming's hand, brought it close to her nose, and gently sniffed it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression instantly turned dangerous.

Even without the lights on, Xu Ming could still see that a massive amount of negative energy was turning into black mist and churning behind his sister like a storm, which looked terrifying.

"Sister, what's wrong with you...?"

Before Xu Ming could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a tremendous force strike him, and before he knew what was happening, his back had already slammed against the wall.

Something soft bumped hard against my chest.

However, Xu Ming didn't feel any pain; instead, he felt a little comfortable and wanted to do it again.

Xu Ming quickly came to his senses and found himself pinned against the wall by his older sister.

"..."

Is this even playable? Do I have any dignity left?

Faced with such a domineering older sister, Xu Ming was on the verge of tears.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care what he thought; her pretty and charming face pressed directly against Xu Ming's cheek.

"My younger brother hasn't come home for several nights in a row. I never imagined he'd be having an affair with some other woman. My sister was the one who started it, so why is this happening?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was like a female ghost... no, she *was* a female ghost. Her mournful voice went straight into Xu Ming's ears, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

"Sister, you've misunderstood."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows, as if waiting for his explanation.

Xu Ming then told his older sister everything that had happened before he returned.

Chapter 271 My Sister's 'Punishment'

Kasumigaoka Utaha gazed intently into Xu Ming's eyes.

Xu Ming met those blood-red eyes with complete composure.

After a long while, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to finally confirm that Xu Ming had not lied, and breathed a slight sigh of relief, her tone somewhat complicated.

"I never expected my little brother to be such a kind-hearted person!"

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his sister had been persuaded.

Just when Xu Ming thought everything was alright.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly grabbed his collar, and said to him with a half-smile:

"I can let bygones be bygones about what just happened, but do you really think I won't punish you for staying out all night for the past few days?"

Xu Ming immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Wait! Sister, what are you trying to do?"

Don't come any closer... Waaah!

Before Xu Ming could resist, he immediately felt an irresistible pull on his collar.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, sweet aroma filled his nasal cavity and mouth.

A soft, jelly-like substance forced its way in, silencing Xu Ming's feeble resistance.

In a daze, Xu Ming felt as if he were in a flower garden, surrounded by frozen blue roses, their cool, subtle fragrance penetrating the thick ice and enveloping him tightly...

Just as Xu Ming was completely absorbed in it, a sharp pain suddenly came from his mouth.

My older sister actually bit his tongue during the most intense and ecstatic moment.

Xu Ming could even feel his sister gently sucking on his wound.

Just as Xu Ming was at a loss.

A golden radiance in the shape of a cross suddenly burst forth from his chest.

It's that 'Saint's Prayer'!

The golden light instantly illuminated the entire living room. Kasumigaoka Utaha touched the golden light and immediately let out a painful groan, as if she had been injured.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Xu Ming's mind.

"Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glared at Xu Ming with some annoyance, then quickly blended into the shadows and disappeared from the spot.

Xu Ming scratched the back of his head, looking completely bewildered.

I opened the system panel and several prompts immediately popped up.

—Warning: The host has been marked with a curse by the 'Strange (Soul Level 5)'!

—The effect of 'The Saintess's Prayer' has removed the curse mark.

Upon seeing this information, Xu Ming wore a helpless expression.

His older sister wanted to use the opportunity of their kiss to give him a "hickey," but unexpectedly, the cross that Xu Minggang had just obtained ruined the plan.

Xu Ming had absolute trust in his older sister, and she clearly didn't want to harm him.

This so-called curse mark, literally, should be something like a tracker.

I just didn't expect the 'Saintess's Prayer' to be so powerful, directly removing the mark that my older sister had just applied.

It left him both amused and exasperated.

Xu Ming went to the mirror and stuck out his tongue to examine it. He found that the bite wound was not big and the bleeding had basically stopped, but there was still a metallic taste in his mouth.

Of course, besides the rusty smell, there is also a faint sweet fragrance.

Feeling that sweet fragrance, I can even recall that softness from before.

Xu Ming smacked his lips subconsciously.

This seems a bit addictive.

The wound was insignificant, so Xu Ming didn't bother to treat it.

He raised the wagashi in his hand and said loudly:

"Sister, I bought your favorite snacks..."

But after a long while, there was still no response.

It seems my sister is really angry.

Xu Ming shook his head and casually placed the paper bag on the dining table.

"Sister, I've put the snacks on the table."

After Xu Ming went to the bathroom to wash up, Kasumigaoka Utaha reappeared in the living room.

She casually opened the paper bag and looked at the beautifully made wagashi inside, including her favorite red bean paste cake.

A faint smile appeared on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face.

"Silly little brother..."

Just then, a sound came from the bathroom, and it seemed that Xu Ming was about to come out.

Kasumigaoka Utaha casually picked up a piece of red bean paste cake, put it in her mouth, and then it disappeared.

After Xu Ming came out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, he looked at the open paper bag on the table and smiled knowingly...

"You want to make a doll?"

Xu Ming looked at Lulu Xiu with some surprise.

Since taking over his room, this woman has been staying there studying various modern knowledge. In addition, because she is 'weird' and doesn't need to eat, drink, or relieve herself, Xu Ming rarely sees her come out of the room.

But today, Lulu suddenly came out of her room and told Xu Ming that she had mastered enough modern scientific knowledge and wanted to make dolls.

"I'm not good at fighting; I make dolls for self-defense."

Lulu explained calmly.

Xu Ming disregarded her top-notch academic efficiency for the time being.

Self-defense is a perfectly valid reason.

After all, strictly speaking, Lulushu is just a tenant in his house, not his shikigami. It is reasonable for her to want the power to protect herself.

Xu Ming thought about it carefully.

Of all the people he knew, Kato Megumi was undoubtedly the one with the widest network and the most resources.

Just because of something 'strange,' why would you go to the higher-ups of the Exorcist Association to confirm that this isn't a provocation?

After thinking it over, Xu Ming realized that Aozaki Touko was the most suitable.

Making dolls is not as simple as just having materials; it also requires the right tools and even a suitable environment.

Aozaki Touko is a skilled doll maker. She not only has the materials, but also a workshop for making dolls, which meets almost all the necessary conditions for making dolls.
