In Conan, the shrine is inherited

"Thank you." Miss Asama stood up and bowed to express her gratitude. She walked to the door and stood for a moment, "My name is Asai Makoto." Then she left the reception room completely.

Ye Qiuxin took a breath and blinked hesitantly.

Asai Makoto, eh, sounds familiar, he is also a character in a Conan case. He doesn't remember many characters in Conan, but on the other hand, the ones that he can remember - excluding the characters who appear frequently - are the characters that have caused major incidents.

No, no, Asai Makoto must be an important person, I have to recall him carefully for a while!

"By the way," Huihara Ai asked worriedly, "The fire in the research institute was started by my sister, right? You said that ghosts would almost instantly dissipate when encountering fire, so was my sister's soul damaged?"

Before Ye Qiuxin could answer, Miyano Akemi showed her soul and waved her hands and shook her head in front of her sister, indicating that there was nothing wrong with her. She was afraid that her sister would vent her anger on Ye Qiuxin because of this matter.

If that's the case, is this relationship still possible?

"No." Ye Qiuxin explained to her, saying lightly, "The spirit ghosts I'm talking about don't include Holy Spirit Ghosts and Fire Ghosts. These two spirit ghosts are special. Fire Ghosts, as the name implies, are souls produced by people who died in fires. Therefore, they are not afraid of flames, but they are afraid of Holy Light and Buddha Light. But they are also one in a million, and their rarity is extremely high.

“The Holy Spirit Ghost is even rarer than the Fire Ghost. Even in the ancient times when monks were young, few people had seen it.

"In addition to a series of soul and body abilities, the sacred characteristics of the Holy Spirit Ghost not only make it immune to fire and Buddha's light, but the holy light will even enhance the strength of the Holy Spirit Ghost. You can rest assured."

"That's good." Huiyuan Ai nodded her head, crossed her arms over her shoulders, and threatened him in a cute tone, "If anything happens to my sister, I will never forgive you!"

Miyano Akemi chuckled and ruffled her sister's hair.

Ye Qiuxin also laughed, stood up and stretched. The first day of the shrine's opening was about to pass.

I hope things will go so smoothly in the future.

Chapter 100: Take a Hot Spring Bath Together

As the sun sets, it is time for Yuehua Shrine to officially close.

There were no tourists in the huge shrine. The security personnel were doing the final inspection in the shrine. Ye Qiuxin stood in the reception room and paid the wages to the three temporary shrine maidens left today: "Here, this is your reward, count it."

"Wow!" Suzuki Sonoko snatched the money and counted it skillfully. After calculating the specific amount, she said with satisfaction, "I didn't expect you to be so generous. Where's my peach wood talisman?"

Ye Qiuxin curled her lips and took out four more peach wood talismans, thinking that this young lady was really rude.

Three pieces are for the temporary shrine maiden, and the other piece is for Uncle Maori. Although he left early, we cannot go back on our word.

"Akishin, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it." Mao Lilan felt embarrassed to accept it because of the farce that happened today.

"It's okay, I don't care. Besides, it's one thing at a time. You work for me and help me, so you must get paid. I'm not some black-hearted capitalist who exploits my employees." Ye Qiuxin said cheerfully, "Take it."

"Oh, just accept it, Xiaolan. Why shouldn't we accept the reward we earned from our own labor!" Suzuki Sonoko said carelessly.

"Okay..." Mao Lilan chuckled and let go of the grudge in her heart, "Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Qiu Xin."

"Then I won't be polite to you, junior." Tsukamoto Sumi also reached out to take her salary. She had a heroic short hair, which looked very boyish, but her personality was very gentle. "The scenery of the shrine is very nice. When Yunwen-kun wakes up, I will accompany him here to play."

"You are welcome anytime." Ye Qiuxin said, "I will visit Senior Shu if I have the chance in the future."

The temporary shrine maidens left, and the first day of the shrine's initial business was successfully completed.

Ye Qiu leaned back in his chair comfortably, staring at the white ceiling, a relaxed smile on his face.

"Seven amulets, 3.5 million yen..." Huihara Ai closed the fashion magazine and said softly, "What a generous gift. But don't give it away anymore. Even if the process of making the peach wood amulet is easy, it is a product with a clear price tag. The more you give away, the less likely people will buy it. It's not only related to the circulation of the product, but more seriously, it will cause psychological gaps among other customers."

"I understand." Ye Qiuxin rubbed his eyes and said tiredly, "Wait for Lawyer Fei to come over, and then give her one last piece, and then I won't give her any more."

Huibara Ai was right in reminding me.

What I provide is high-end ghost removal service, and I take the upper-class route, making customers feel that the money is well spent. I am not a street ghost removal master who rushes to the rescue when he sees injustice. The saying "free is the most expensive" is not reflected in the ghost removal industry at all.

No payment will be charged after exorcism is completed...

Maybe people will just treat you as a sucker.

Not long after the two finished talking, Onodera Eri came over and said that Attorney Hime had arrived at the Tsukuka Shrine. She left at the same time as the temporary shrine maidens, so maybe they met on the way.

Ye Qiuxin looked towards the door.

Hibiki Eri came in with her secretary Kuriyama Midori, both of them carrying bags full of stuff. Before Ye Qiuxin could get confused, Hibiki Eri apologized as soon as she entered the room: "I'm sorry, Qiuxin, I still feel bad about what happened during the day. To show my apology, I bought some clothes for Xiao Ai, you must accept them."

"Uh..." Ye Qiuxin hesitated for a moment and looked at the bag in Fei Yingli's hand. It turned out that it was an apology gift, and it was children's clothes. She was afraid that he would refuse. He nodded, "Okay, Xiao Ai, you take it."

"Ah."

"I'll be relieved if you can accept it." Kisaki Eri smiled.

"Actually, I really don't care." Ye Qiuxin said with a smile. When he thought of the miserable appearance of Uncle Maori with bruises all over his head, he suddenly didn't have any resentment anymore. Accepting these gifts was a sign that the whole thing was over. If he didn't accept them, maybe Kisaki Eri would think that he was dissatisfied. So he decided to just accept them. He was too lazy to bother with it anymore.

Another point is that he doesn't understand fashion brands, and thought that the clothes that Kisaki Eri bought were ordinary clothes, but in fact, they were all high-end brand goods...

Haibara Ai blinked her eyes. How come after all the twists and turns, she became the final beneficiary?

"Let's not talk about that, let's take a look at the contents of the contract first." said Hibiki Eri.

"Here you go." Secretary Kuriyama Midori immediately took out a document from her briefcase and placed it on the table.

Ye Qiuxin took it and took a quick look. It seemed that he was given some discounts on the price. The content of the contract was reasonable. At least he could not see any problems. Miyano Akemi also leaned over to his head and checked the terms of the contract. Although she was not a law major, her experience as a bank clerk could still play a certain role in reading documents.

The man and the ghost discussed in their hearts.

Haibara Ai rolled her dead eyes and watched the intimate interaction between the big pig's hoof and her sister.

An inexplicable feeling arose in my heart.

"Qixin, let me introduce her to you..." Fei Yingli just opened her mouth.

"No need." Ye Qiuxin reached out to stop him, took the ink pen, and signed his name on the document. "Is there anything else that requires a signature?"

"This..." Hibiki Eri was surprised.

Secretary Kuriyama Midori's face was also full of disbelief. Apart from those who were illiterate in the law, she had never seen anyone sign a contract so quickly.

Fei Yingli laughed: "Qixin, it seems that I can now point out the mistakes you made in the law."

"I also believe that you, Aunt Fei, won't harm me." Ye Qiuxin handed over the contract. The main reason was that there was no reason for them to have any grudges against each other. Besides, as one of the top lawyers in Japan, it was impossible for Fei Yingli to not care about her reputation.

"Okay." Fei Yingli also signed her name, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "I will not let you down for your trust in me."

The contract was signed smoothly.

Ye Qiuxin stood up from his chair and shook hands with Kisaki Eri. They smiled at each other and confirmed their partnership.

Kisaki Eri and Kuriyama Midori didn't stay for long and left soon.

He also took away two peach wood talismans. Since Kuriyama Midori was already here, it would be a bit inappropriate to just give him one.

Ye Qiuxin glanced at the time and felt that today's official duties should be concluded here, so he called Yamabe Koichi and Onodera Eri over and held a small meeting to summarize the problems he was aware of, such as the problem of tourist security checks, recruiting more cleaners, and fines for littering.

On the first day of the shrine's operation, no accidents occurred. The biggest annoyance was the garbage thrown everywhere.

From a certain perspective, German oil paper bags are more hygienic and reliable than Japanese ones...

But these are all minor issues. Just pass on the instructions and ask them to remember them next time. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. This is the first time for everyone to run the shrine's affairs, so it is impossible to do everything perfectly.

There were no accidents on the first day, and Ye Qiuxin was already very satisfied.

"By the way, I made a lot of money today, and your salary will also increase." Ye Qiuxin smiled, "This is written in black and white in the contract we signed at the beginning, and I will certainly not breach it."

Yamabe Koichi and Onodera Eri were overjoyed, "Thank you very much, Master Akishino!"

Ye Qiuxin did not hide the generous investment of Sumiyoshi-kai President Haruyo Fukuda from them, nor did she intend to hide it, so they knew how much income the shrine had received today, more than 400 million yen...

According to the share written in the labor contract, their wages also increased sharply.

Koichi Yamabe and Eri Onodera have been secretly planning to get married, so they will go to register their marriage tomorrow.

"Haha, no need to thank me, just work hard." Ye Qiuxin didn't know that Onodera Eri's name would change tomorrow.

"Yes!" Koichi Yamabe and Eri Onodera smiled sweetly at each other.

Ye Qiuxin looked at the two people's backs as they left excitedly, and was happy for them in his heart. Now that the business of the shrine had been completed, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his fingers, and raised them high behind him. He didn't know which joints made a few crisp sounds.

"Feeling tired?" Haibara Ai looked at him.

"No, you've been following me all the time, don't you know whether I'm tired or not?" Ye Qiuxin smiled, "Open the clothes Aunt Fei gave you and see if there's anything you like. If so, wear it when you go to school tomorrow."

"Oh. But I prefer the ones I choose myself." Huihara Ai said, because Ye Qiuxin paid for those clothes.

"How do you know if you like it or not if you haven't even seen it?" Ye Qiuxin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Come on, wear whatever you want when the time comes. I don't have much say in this matter. You and Sister Mingmei can match them together." He pressed his shoulder blades again and moved his arms. "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Go to bed so early."

"Qiu Xin was indeed very tired today, drawing so many talismans..." Miyano Akemi said with concern, "It would be good for her to rest early."

"No, I'm not tired, I just want to take a hot spring bath." Ye Qiuxin scratched his head, "It's been such a long time since I came back to the shrine, but I haven't taken a hot spring bath once."

Haibara Ai had a blank expression on her face. In fact, when she was buying underwear in the mall, she also bought a swimsuit.

***

Steam is rising from the open-air hot spring in the backyard.

Ye Qiuxin sat in it carefully, first his legs, then his waist, slowly adjusting to the temperature, and finally sitting down. The warm pool water covered his body, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

No wonder Japanese people love taking hot springs so much, the feeling is really real.

Perhaps it is because of the special earth veins of Yuehua Shrine that spiritual energy gathers and the water quality of the hot spring makes people feel comfortable.

Suddenly, Miyano Akemi floated in.

Ye Qiuxin subconsciously hugged her shoulders with both hands to cover her chest, but then she thought, she is not a woman, why should she cover her chest, so she put her hands down and asked casually: "Sister Mingmei, what's wrong?"

Miyano Akemi didn't say anything, but just smiled slyly in the air.

Ye Qiuxin pursed her lips, clasped her hands together, and formed a magic seal. The next moment, Miyano Akemi's soul condensed into shape in the air. It was not a phantom, but a ghost body that looked like a human body.

Her black hair fell on her back, with a few strands occasionally falling on both sides of her cheeks and hanging in front of her upright chest. She was wrapped in a simple white sleeveless dress, with her calves and feet as white as jade exposed. Her whole body was still covered with a layer of faint fluorescence, as if she was an angel floating in the air, only lacking a pair of wings from heaven.

Miyano Akemi looked at the changes in her soul and body in surprise, and looked at Ye Qiuxin in confusion.

Ye Qiuxin had nothing to say, and imprisoned the ghost spirit through the connection between himself and his soul and body.

Another blink of an eye...

With a "plop" sound, huge splashes of water gushed out of the hot spring.

Miyano Akemi fell into the hot spring like a ghost, and kept writhing in the pool, with her arms and thighs dangling in the water.

Ye Qiuxin was speechless and stood up. The water level of the hot spring was not even up to his waist. He walked to the struggling Miyano Akemi, put his arms around her waist and "rescued" her from the water.

"Sister Mingmei, look carefully, the water here only reaches your waist." Ye Qiuxin said helplessly.

"I, I'm just too scared..." Miyano Akemi leaned fearfully in his arms, breathing heavily, her chest heaving, showing a beautiful scenery. She looked at the still rippling water with lingering fear. After all that tossing and turning, the surrounding water mist also dissipated.
