Her golden hair fell on his lap, and her face was peaceful and sweet. Xiu Yuan noticed that there was a trace of crystal saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth, which flowed down and left a small dark mark on his pants.

The sunlight shines on Ai Li's face, outlining her delicate features.

Especially the small nose, which looks particularly cute in the morning light.

Xiuyuan couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch the tip of her nose.

"Hmm..." Ai Li frowned and subconsciously brushed away Xiu Yuan's hand with her little hand.

Seeing this, Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and pinched her nose again.

This time Ellie finally opened her eyes.

She blinked a few times drowsily, her eyes still filled with sleep. Suddenly, she realized that she was lying on Xiuyuan's legs, and her face turned red.

"Ah!" Ellie sat up suddenly, reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, and found that it was indeed wet.

Looking at the obvious water stain on Xiuyuan's pants, her face turned so red that it almost bled.

"I...I...I'm sorry!" Ellie apologized in a panic, her voice full of shyness and uneasiness.

Xiu Yuan chuckled and reached out to rub her head.

"It's okay, did you sleep well?" Ai Li lowered her head, covered her hot little face with her hands, and didn't dare to look at Xiu Yuan at all.

"I'll go wash my face first!" After she said that, she jumped off the bed like a frightened little rabbit and rushed out of the room.

Xiu Yuan looked at her running back and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Standing in the corridor, he saw Marina coming out of her room. The girl had obvious dark circles under her eyes and looked sleepy, obviously she didn't sleep well last night.

Marina yawned, rubbed her eyes, and tried to keep herself awake.

"Good morning, Brother Xiuyuan." Her voice was soft and a little tired.

Xiuyuan walked towards her, squatted down, and looked straight into Marina's eyes.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xiu Yuan asked with concern.

Marina nodded, then shook her head, as if she didn't want to make Xiuyuan worry.

But her tired look betrayed her.

Xiu Yuan could guess that the terrifying images of those monsters last night might be lingering in her mind.

"Come, I'll help you." Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked Marina's head.

He closed his eyes, and the Buddha power in his body began to circulate quietly.

A warm and gentle power flowed out from his palm, penetrated into Marina's head, and traveled throughout her body along her meridians.

The warm Buddha's power was like a spring breeze, nourishing Marina's tired soul and dispelling her inner fear and anxiety.

The horrifying images that lingered in her mind gradually dissipated under the influence of Buddha's power.

Marina only felt a warm current flowing from the top of her head to her whole body, taking away all her fatigue and fear.

She closed her eyes comfortably and immersed herself in this wonderful feeling.

When Xiuyuan withdrew his hand, Marina's face had regained its rosy complexion, and the tiredness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a bright look.

Marina lovingly pressed her face against Xiuyuan's palm, her eyes full of gratitude and dependence.

"Thank you, Brother Xiuyuan. I feel much better now." Her voice was clear and pleasant, no longer tired.

Xiuyuan smiled and nodded.

"Let's go have breakfast." He took Marina's little hand and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Rinko Akiyama was busy wearing a pink apron.

Her long sky-blue hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look capable and energetic.

The apron outlines her proud curves, making her look particularly charming in the morning light.

In the kitchen filled with fragrance, all kinds of ingredients are arranged neatly.

Bacon sizzled in a pan on the stove.

In the pot next to it, miso soup was steaming.

The bread in the oven gave off a wheaty aroma, and it was obvious that it was almost done.

Chapter 34: Mitsuko’s invitation

After sending Sister Ai Li to school, Xiuyuan's cell phone suddenly rang.

The name displayed on the screen made him stunned for a moment - Mitsuko.

He hadn't forgotten the hesitant look in this woman's eyes when they met last time.

Xiuyuan connected the phone:

"Ms. Mitsuko, what's going on?"

Mitsuko's voice on the other end of the phone was softer than usual:

"Master Xiuyuan, I'm sorry to bother you. My father-in-law has been in poor health and has been bedridden for a long time. The doctors can't think of anything to help him. I was thinking, maybe I could ask you to perform a ritual?"

Xiuyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

The old man of the Takayanagi family? He knew the plot of "The Takayanagi Wives" very well. The so-called "bedridden" old man was simply faking illness.

A perverted old thing.

Such people do not deserve sympathy.

But for Xiuyuan, this was precisely an opportunity.

The problem with the Takayanagi family isn't just the old man; the entire family is incredibly chaotic when it comes to matters between men and women.

Judging by the extent of the chaos in this world, it's most likely a hotbed of demons.

Aren’t the merit points just waiting for him to harvest?

Besides, Mitsuko's mother and sister-in-law are both rare beauties, so this trip is definitely worth it.

"Of course, Ms. Mitsuko."

Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, "Buddhism is about compassion, and saving all living beings is our responsibility."

Mitsuko was clearly relieved on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with unconcealed joy:

"Thank you so much, Master Xiuyuan! Is this weekend convenient for you?"

"The weekend is perfect." Xiu Yuan replied simply.

"Then... I'll pick you up at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning?" Mitsuko asked tentatively.

Xiu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Then I'll trouble you, Ms. Mitsuko." After hanging up the phone, Xiuyuan exhaled lightly and put the phone back in his pocket.

He turned his head to look at Akiyama Rinko, a meaningful smile on his lips: "Rinko, let's go to the Taimanin headquarters."

Since he received the allowance from the Taimanin, he naturally had to report there and take advantage of the Taimanin's power to do some good deeds.

Akiyama Rinko nodded slightly, her long sky-blue hair swaying gently with her movements: "Yes, Master."

Xiu Yuan's mind moved, and the system panel immediately unfolded in his mind.

The merit point balance flashed with pleasing numbers, and he spent fifty merit points without hesitation to exchange for a Buddhist Mahamudra technique.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Buddhist Mahamudra technique (incomplete version)]

The system prompt sounded in his mind, and Xiuyuan frowned slightly - an incomplete version?

[This technique only includes the outer lion seal, the earth-touching demon seal, and the Vajra wheel seal]

As the prompt sounded, a ball of golden light condensed in front of Xiu Yuan, emitting mysterious energy fluctuations.

Xiu Yuan reached out and touched the ball of light. In an instant, countless mysterious marks flooded into the depths of his consciousness like a tide.

The three hand seal inheritances were instantly imprinted deep within his soul, as if he had mastered these skills innately. Xiu Yuan moved his fingers and could feel the Buddha power within him flowing along a completely new path, smoother and more powerful than before.

"The effect is better than I expected." Xiu Yuan muttered to himself. He could feel that although these three hand seals were only part of the complete hand seal technique, they also contained amazing power.

Rinko looked at him curiously: "Master, what did you gain?"

Xiu Yuan smiled slightly: "It's just a small improvement, let's go."

Along the way, Xiuyuan closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, carefully experiencing the newly acquired hand seal inheritance.

The outer lion seal symbolizes bravery and fearlessness; the ground-touching demon seal symbolizes the subjugation of all demonic obstacles; and the Vajra wheel seal symbolizes the destruction of all troubles.

Each hand seal contains completely different and powerful Buddhist mysteries.

The car was driving steadily on the city road. Rinko Akiyama was concentrating on driving, glancing through the rearview mirror from time to time and closing her eyes to rest and cultivate her mind.

The black car slowly stopped at the Taimanin headquarters - the Third Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, an official agency specializing in dealing with dark forces.

Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked through the car window, and saw two women standing at the entrance of the building waiting.

Mizuki Shiranui, dressed in a smart professional suit, has an upright posture and exudes a strong aura in her every move; next to her stands her daughter Mizuki Yukikaze, dressed in a black combat uniform, with a pistol on her waist, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings vigilantly, as if expecting something.

"It seems they have been waiting for a long time." Xiu Yuan pushed open the car door and stepped out.

Rinko Akiyama followed closely behind Xiuyuan, her long sky-blue hair fluttering gently in the breeze.

Her steps were light, yet she was alert enough to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Mizuki Shiranui saw them and immediately came forward, a gentle expression on her face:

"Master Xiuyuan, Rinko, you are here."

Xiu Yuan nodded slightly in greeting: "Ms. Shiranui, Ms. Xuefeng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Let's go in and talk." Mizuki Shiranui gestured for him to come in.

The four of them entered the building and took the elevator directly to the third underground floor. Unlike its ordinary exterior, the underground area was brimming with technology, with various advanced monitoring devices embedded in the corridors. Uniformed staff members would occasionally hurried by, nodding to the four of them.

Arriving at a conference room, the four of them sat down. Mizuki Shiranui looked at Akiyama Rinko with a hint of concern: "How's it been since you got back? Has anything unusual happened?"

Akiyama Rinko lowered her eyes, her sky-blue hair covering half of her face. "Last night... the dark power struck again."

She raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thanks to the master for helping me suppress it."

Mizuki Shiranui gently stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this: "That's great!"

Then she turned to Xiu Yuan, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude:

"Master Xiuyuan, I really don't know how to thank you."

Xiuyuan put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, then he spoke:

"It's just a little effort."

If Shiranui knew how Shuen helped Rinko break the dark power yesterday, the expression on her face would be quite interesting.

Chapter 35: Polluted Taimanin!

There was a sudden knock on the conference room door, and three rhythmic knocks echoed in the space.

Mizuki Shiranui raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting anyone to interrupt the meeting.

"Come in," she said calmly.

The door slowly opened, and a tall woman walked in.

Ashaji was still wearing a purple ninja outfit today, with a dark red ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her perfect figure.

There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but her sharp eyes still flashed with determination.

"Lady Ashaji!" Shuicheng Xuefeng stood up involuntarily, her voice full of respect.

Ashaji's gaze was immediately fixed on Xiuyuan, and a complex light flashed in her eyes.

A trace of guilt appeared on her face. She took a deep breath and bowed deeply.

"On behalf of the Taimanin, I offer my sincerest apologies for what happened yesterday."

There was sincerity in her voice.
