Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

Swire, as if giving up on something, slapped her forehead in frustration and sighed, waving her small hand impatiently at Bai Xun.

"Let's go, let's go. Don't let Chen Huijie arrest you again in a couple of days and bring you to the Guard Bureau. I won't be able to save you then."

"Damn it, I'm just a law-abiding citizen!"

After saying goodbye to Swire, Bai Xun did not rush to Penguin Logistics to retrieve her electric wheelchair before going home.

Instead, he stared into deep thought at the two talismans in his hand.

The first one was naturally the Tiger Talisman that was successfully retrieved, while the second talisman was one that Bai Xun had taken out when he had some free time.

only....

"Why is it a sheep charm...?"

Bai Xun felt somewhat exhausted.

Could you please give me some powerful talismans? Even if I can't draw the top-tier talismans like Rat, Dog, or Horse, a Snake talisman would be fine too.

[Item: Sheep Talisman]

The soul is impervious to invasion, and the soul leaves the body. The holder's soul strength is greatly enhanced, making them immune to most mental damages. They can allow their soul to leave their body and wander silently and invisibly anywhere in the world, even entering dreams and communicating with spirits. They can also directly influence souls with their physical body; the degree of influence depends on the target's soul and physical strength, with a significantly increased impact on souls without a physical body.

The sheep charm might be somewhat useful, but it's highly unlikely that the sheep charm will actually work.

However, after reading the second half of the description of the Sheep Talisman, Bai Xun had a bold idea.

Balance exists between all things, and the same principle applies to the balance of the Tiger Talisman.

If the physical body is considered as yang and the spirit as yin, then by mastering the Yin-Yang splitting of the Tiger Talisman, one can create a gap between the target's physical body and soul. Then, by adding the power of the Sheep Talisman, wouldn't it be possible to forcibly extract the opponent's soul?

"Holy crap, I'm a genius! I'll go find a couple of gangsters and give it a try when I have time."

Thinking about it this way, the sheep talisman isn't so useless after all, although it still can't compare to the rat talisman that Bai Xun longs for.

An artifact that can revive your anime waifu at will is something no one can resist!

Bai Xun could only pray that he would be lucky enough to pull the best items next time he tried to draw from the Twelve Talismans card pool. In the end, he pulled out the Rat, Dog, and Horse in that order.

While fantasizing about a perfect future, Bai Xun began to consider a very real problem.

"One must have complete control over the power of the talisman."

Even if it's because Swire is a noble tiger that he can resonate with the talisman and activate the Tiger Talisman, the danger lurking in this incident is still considerable.

After all, the unholy Terra is essentially an animal kingdom, and there are plenty of noble animals around. It is essential to ensure that the power of the talisman is firmly in one's own hands.

After much thought, Bai Xun decided to imitate the actions of the original owner of the talisman, Shengzhu.

Directly integrating these two talismans into one's own body through one's own blood-shaping ability is undoubtedly the safest and most effective method.

Chapter 15: A Youthful Version of Saint Master A-Quan and Stinky Feet

Most of the Originium Arts of Blood Demons are related to blood, and Bai Xun, as a pure-blooded Blood Demon from the legitimate royal court of Kazdel, is no exception.

His Originium Arts are called Blood Shaping, which gives him an extremely strong ability to manipulate blood, allowing him to reshape and reconstruct it at will. However, the biggest problem is that he has almost no control over the blood in other people's bodies.

Normally, he can only control his own blood or the blood flowing from other people's bodies. This also means that once Bai Xun engages in high-intensity battles, he needs to consume a lot of his own blood and fall into a weak state, requiring him to eat as soon as possible to recover.

Therefore, Bai Xun has always kept his distance from fighting and killing. After all, Terra is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions. He is not like Xiao Mao Dan Juan who can fight an entire division by himself, so it is better to be a little cowardly.

Besides blood shaping, Bai Xun's other ability is somewhat unique.

He can acquire other people's Originium Arts by absorbing their blood; the strength and duration depend on the amount of blood absorbed.

However, this ability rarely shines, and Bai Xun still focuses on the research of blood shaping, such as the safekeeping of the talisman this time.

"If I stuff the talismans into my body and collect twelve, would I be considered the Blood Demon version of the Holy Lord?"

Thinking of this, Bai Xun couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle softly.

Then he pressed the Tiger Talisman directly onto his chest, and a crimson light emanated from it, gradually engulfing the Tiger Talisman into Bai Xun's body.

In this way, unless the other party is so enthusiastic that they immediately open up to you, the safety of the talisman can be guaranteed.

What surprised Bai Xun was that after integrating the Tiger Talisman directly into his body, he found that he seemed to have directly gained the power of the talisman and did not need to take it out and hold it in his hand to use it.

"Indeed, the talisman is just a vessel; the key is the magic power within it."

Now, I have replaced the talisman as the vessel for the magic of the zodiac.

Nodding in satisfaction, Bai Xun repeated his trick, stuffing the sheep talisman into his own body as well.

"Alright, now I am one-sixth of the Holy Lord!"

If one day I manage to pull out a Radiant Dragon Body Stone or get some high-purity dragon blood to infuse myself with, I'll be a youthful version of the Holy Lord.

As long as you work hard at the Dimensional Agency and complete your missions, your future will definitely get sweeter and sweeter!

The best is yet to come!

In a cheerful mood, Bai Xun hummed a little tune as she hurried to the End of the Earth Bar to retrieve her long-awaited electric wheelchair, and once again sped off in it amidst the astonished gazes of passersby.

Before long, Bai Xun returned to his loyal agency.

Carrying large and small bags, I went upstairs to the bedroom chosen by the Spring Spirit and gently knocked on the door.

"Ah Quan, I'm coming in~"

"Yes."

Upon entering, the white-haired girl didn't even raise her head, but remained lying on the bed playing on her phone. Her smooth, soft thighs, beneath her blue and white swimsuit, were naturally raised and swayed idly, while her pair of white jade feet, no longer bound by external constraints, drew graceful arcs in the air.

The white color was almost dazzling, and it was quite appetizing.

"Humans, the people you people in this world are so strange."

The Spring Spirit didn't notice Bai Xun's gaze unconsciously following her swaying little feet; instead, she raised her phone and looked at Bai Xun with a puzzled expression.

"I've been to several WorldBubble forums, but the people there usually just chat and then suddenly say 'Give me a dirty picture,' but why do people in this WorldBubble forum say 'Give me some stinky feet'?"

"Promise me you won't ask such pointed questions, okay?"

Upon hearing the Spring Spirit pose such an abstract question with such a serious expression, Bai Xun instantly lost his composure.

The spirit of the spring didn't dwell on the issue for too long, but instead belatedly continued,

"And I just realized that this world bubble is basically full of kemonomimi girls, which is so different from the other world bubbles I've been to."

"Is it possible, I mean, one possibility, that this place is outside the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?"

Seeing the somewhat puzzled look on the Spring Spirit's face, Bai Xun placed the fish balls on the table and slowly explained,

"I warned you when you came that this is the Dimensional Affairs Bureau, where anyone from any world could come here, so it's normal that this place is very different from the worlds you've been to before."

"Wow~"

The spring spirit blinked in surprise, then scrambled to its feet and sat up on the bed like a well-behaved kitten, staring intently at Bai Xun.

"Human, you seem to know a little too much."

Neither my name nor the circumstances of my original world.

As expected, I was asked this question.

When the Spring Spirit moved in, Hakuhiro knew that she would definitely be asked this question in the future.

Although the Spring Spirit is a bit dull, silly, and clumsy, and is also a comedic character, she is still better than Aqua's level of seemingly foolish wisdom... even if the improvement is limited, it's still a improvement.

Although Bai Xun could come up with a whole bunch of excuses, that didn't fit his personality and there was no need for it, so he might as well just tell the truth.

"How should I put it? It's like you were a character in a game in my past life?"

Before the Spring Spirit could frown and say anything, Bai Xun interrupted, speaking first.

"This world is the same; in my past world, it was also a game."

"Game character?"

Faced with this somewhat absurd fact, the Spring Spirit instinctively swayed her body slightly and shook her little head. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her face lit up with joy.

"So, my coming into this world is also part of the story?"

Am I some kind of super popular limited-time collaboration character?

"Probably not."

Bai Xun, feeling somewhat out of sync with the Spring Spirit's train of thought, spread his hands and said, "There's no plot about you traveling to this world. After all, look at me, I've already traveled here myself."

"What about me in my original world? Wouldn't I be incredibly popular?!"

The Spring Spirit's focus remains quite peculiar; she doesn't seem confused or anything about being a game character in other people's eyes, but rather cares a great deal about her popularity.

She proudly puffed out her rather substantial chest, her face radiating confidence.

"Sigh, just thinking about someone as beautiful, elegant, powerful, witty, and possessing astonishing wisdom as me, I must be the most popular character, shining brightly in the main storyline every day, with countless fans~"

Bai Xun: Trying not to laugh.jpg

Although she felt a little reluctant, Bai Xun still managed to shatter A-Quan's fantasy while trying her best to suppress her laughter.

"Sadly, not really."

"Um, that's the second most popular character?"

The voice of the spring spirit was slightly hesitant, but Bai Xun simply shook his head slightly.

This made Ah Quan's voice tremble.

"Is it possible that he'll only be third in popularity?"

"No, it's not that. Quan, you're already a has-been. Not only have you disappeared from the main storyline, but you were almost snatched away as the comedic relief in events."

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; Bai Xun's words dealt a critical blow to the Spring Spirit.

The girl clutched her head and let out a sharp, mournful scream.

"Waaaaah, why?! I can't accept this!"

...........

Sigh, Ah Quan's popularity has indeed declined.

I'll update a little later tomorrow, hopefully I can climb the charts.

Chapter 16 Xi Gua: I will always see you, Miss Green Snake Spirit

In the eyes of the Spring Spirit, her noble existence—beautiful, elegant, powerful, witty, and possessing astonishing wisdom—would surely be the most popular character in a game.

It wouldn't be unacceptable if we came in second in popularity.

The third one seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?

What does it mean to be an outdated character? Not only has she disappeared from the main storyline, but even her comedic role in events has been taken over by the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Heartbroken and utterly despondent, the Spring Spirit collapsed to her knees on the bed, her face filled with utter despair.

"I was daydreaming again, imagining myself as a popular character with a perfect figure who could eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight, and countless fans adoring me..."

Seeing Ah Quan's dejected and mournful cries, Bai Xun decided it was best not to disturb her for the time being.

He then pointed to the fish balls and Aorunji that he had placed on the table and said,

"Eat the fish balls early, they don't taste good when they're cold."

I also just bought some Orrunji (a type of fruit), I'll only eat two, the rest are for you.

"Oh, humans, you're so kind o(╥﹏╥)o"

Ah Quan reluctantly climbed onto his seat and started eating fish balls, still looking sullen and sighing, which made Bai Xun shrug helplessly.

However, he didn't offer any words of comfort. In any case, given A-Quan's carefree personality, she would probably forget about this soon and continue being a net-addicted girl.

For the useless college student A-Quan, all he needs to do is stay in his room, eat takeout, and play games. But for Bai Xun, who has to earn money to support her family, there are many more things to consider.

Bai Xun sat at the front desk on the first floor for most of the day without a single customer coming in, making him regret not having tricked some Lungmen Dollars from Miss Swire today.

After all, I rescued her from dire straits, so asking for more reward wouldn't hurt... As for why she was in dire straits, don't worry about that.

"Ah, nothing much today."

Just as Bai Xun was about to write down what happened that day in his diary as usual, he realized that he had thrown the diary away when he reached for it and found it empty.
