Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

"They're taking forever," Qiongqi said impatiently as he waited at the academy.

"Principal Qiongqi, why don't you just fly over and catch them?" Bian Que said impatiently.

"I'd like to, but that would be disrespectful to them, and we also can't reveal too much of our strength. Humans coming would be a problem," Qiongqi complained.

After some time, the black helicopter flew to the school square.

Because they were rare to see humans, all the monsters came to watch the ceremony.

Principal Qiongqi and the teachers stepped forward to shake hands with the guests and invited them to the conference room for a talk. The group then walked inside together.

While the monsters were sizing up the humans, the humans were also watching the monsters.

Then someone noticed a child among the monsters, leaning against a corner reading a book. The child's demeanor was very different from the monsters'; he seemed less attracted to the words in the book than to the hustle and bustle outside.

"Wait, I need to say something to this child." The bald man said as he walked toward Qin Jing, who was reading a book to the side.

"Hello, you must be Qin Jing. I'm Chang Hu, an elder in the Cultivator Alliance. It's a pleasure to meet you," the bald man said warmly, shaking Qin Jing's hand.

"I never expected that such an outstanding human would be chosen by the sage of demons to enter this academy. Hello, I hope that we, as fellow beings, can have more exchanges in the future." The bald man shook his hand with Qin Jing's and said with a big laugh.

"Hello, Mr. Chang," Qin Jing said calmly, looking up.

“Then I have something else to discuss… ‘Tonight’… Goodbye!” Chang Hu said, then followed the other two cultivators. However, the word ‘Tonight’, which was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, clearly reached Qin Jing’s ears. It seemed to be a method of using Qi.

He wasn't originally interested in these cultivators, but he was dragged over by Wang Zi and the others who loved watching the excitement.

Qin Jing thought to herself, "It really is here. 'What's meant to be will be.'"

"Did you see that? Qin Jing is talking to the outsider."

"Idiot, he's human too, of course he can talk to humans."

"Oh, right, but lately I haven't been treating him like a human being."

"After all, he's very close to the monsters, and he's just as terrifying as the bad monsters."

The monsters on the outskirts were whispering among themselves.

Qin Jing closed the book, glared at them, and turned to leave. Why couldn't these monsters learn to speak more quietly when they wanted to whisper?

The reason the Cultivator Alliance came here this time is to seek more cooperation with Penglai Academy, which controls the resources of several secret realms.

Those rare ores and medicinal herbs that aid in cultivation are all precious treasures in the human realm, some of which have long been extinct. As long as they are sold little by little over time in different places, they can fetch astronomical prices at auction. There is no better way to make money than monopolizing resources.

The route that Su Jiu and the other great demons, including Qiongqi, had already discussed with other demon groups was to gradually increase the status and value of demons in the human world. Therefore, this meeting was actually a perfect match, but the details and the distribution of benefits would still need to be discussed for a few more days.

Humans and monks sat facing each other at a long table discussing matters. On the demon side, a black fox demon in a business suit was presiding over the meeting, while a bespectacled panda demon, an expert in business rules and human law, was speaking eloquently.

The meeting was actually handled by these professional experts; the great youkai from the academy were just sitting there putting on a show.

The term "cultivator" refers to a group of humans who possess special powers.

However, there are some exceptions; most cultivators do not possess overwhelming power. Therefore, they have developed various methods, such as using the power of demons through certain mediums to seal them or to form contracts with them.

However, monsters are highly intelligent beings and generally do not get involved with humans, especially not to fight for them.

Over thousands of years, the methods of cultivators have changed, and the relationship between them and demons has also changed constantly. There have been times when they supported each other, and times when they harmed each other.

The great monsters do not want humans to excessively destroy nature and cause species extinction, nor do they want humans to become extinct.

The current mainstream forces in the cultivator alliance are mostly conservative and cooperative factions like the old man with bound hair, and proactive factions like the merchant alliance who prioritize profit and believe in full cooperation with monsters to maximize their benefits.

However, there are also a few individuals who believe in the supremacy of cultivators, thinking that cultivators are gods and should be superior to humans and demons.

After the meeting, the great demons like Qiongqi were already yawning with boredom. The human cultivators were arranged to stay in hotels in the city, and the demons did not restrict their freedom of movement.

As night fell, Elder Chang Hu, the bald-headed elder of the Holy Sect, led his disciples to the academy's dormitory area to visit Qin Jing's residence, Wenjing Hall, and rang the doorbell.

The disciples of the Holy Sect were amazed that this place seemed even more modern than their sect on the mountain.

At this moment, Qin Jing was busy in the kitchen because Wang Zi and Mo Mo had suddenly come over for dinner, and with Seba and Jing, who already had huge appetites, she was busy all day.

The door opened, and inside appeared a blonde little girl with a tuft of hair sticking up, seriously scrutinizing the newcomer.

Chang Hu glanced at Seba, who had opened the door for him, and looked inside. He then saw Whale sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand, peeking out. He was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Chang Hu from the Cultivator Alliance. I've come to visit Qin Jing."

"Xiao Jing, the outsiders are looking for you." Seba ran into the kitchen to inform Qin Jing, who was cooking.

"Oh, Whale! The kitchen is yours to take over now," Qin Jing said. Besides him, the blue-haired girl who had been watching him cook was the best cook here.

"Okay, leave it to me, darling." Whale readily closed the book and headed to the kitchen, acting like the perfect wife.

"Don't put anything weird in there!" Qin Jing turned around and stared into the blue-haired girl's eyes.

"Tch..." The whale pursed its lips in disappointment.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Chang," Qin Jing said, stepping forward to apologize to the bald man.

“No, don’t worry about it. Can we talk to Qin Jing alone now?” Chang Hu said.

"I understand, let's go up to the third floor," Qin Jing agreed.

"Okay." Chang Hu readily agreed, then instructed his men, "You all wait at the door!"

When Chang Hu went inside, he saw Mo Mo and Wang Zi sitting on the living room sofa watching TV. His eyes showed shock followed by a flash of crazy joy.

As soon as they reached the third floor, Chang Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Qin Jing, you are truly more outstanding than I expected. You have already gotten so many monsters so close to you. That's amazing! This makes my plan much easier to implement." Chang Hu said admiringly to Qin Jing.

"A plan?" Qin Jing asked, puzzled.

"Qin Jing, you have a bright future ahead of you. You will definitely play a crucial role in our cultivators' true mastery of this world. Here! This is for you." Chang Hu said, opening his palm to reveal a black thumb ring, which he handed to Qin Jing.

Section 111, Chapter 45: The Black Thumb Ring Enslaves the Monster

The black thumb ring in Chang Hu's hand was a deep color, and the material did not resemble animal teeth or bones, nor did it look like jade or gemstones. The patterns inside looked like small black snakes wriggling around. Qin Jing also saw an ominous black aura emanating from it, which was definitely not a good thing.

"What is this?" Qin Jing asked, looking at the ring.

"Hehehe, this is a tool that cultivators often use to make contracts with demons," Chang Hu said with a strange smile.

"A contract? It doesn't seem that simple at all," Qin Jing asked with a smile.

"Hehehe, as expected of you. Since the beginning of humankind, when they were first born into the world, they have already formed a great connection with monsters. When humans want to use the power of monsters, there are only three methods: first, to form a bond; second, to trade; and third, to form a contract."

"To form a bond means that humans and monsters live together day and night, gain their approval, or become part of their family and receive their help and care, just like what you are doing now."

“A transaction is when a human pays a price in exchange for a monster to do something for them.”

"A contract is an agreement made with a yokai. Many yokai value promises, and once a contract is made, they will abide by it even if it takes hundreds of years."

"And this ring! It can change all the information in the contract to unconditionally obey humans." As he said this, a fierce glint flashed in Chang Hu's eyes.

"This is a treasure that can enslave monsters. It's not a flawed item like a scroll or array that can be used one-to-one. It's a powerful treasure that, once a contract is made, even a great monster cannot break free from it."

"Now this is up to you. With your talent and your affinity for monsters, you'll definitely be able to capture many powerful monsters and become the overlord of the academy! Especially that Wolf God Momo, don't let him get away..." the bald man said sinisterly.

"Mr. Chang Hu, what exactly do you want from me by saying all this? I haven't promised you anything, have I?" Qin Jing asked calmly. He now understood that the cultivator in front of him was probably a madman who wanted to use his own methods to distort the world into the way he envisioned it.

There's only a fine line between a madman and a lunatic. A lunatic is simply irrational, or rather, their brain has lost control of their body. Once they go berserk, they might bite or hurt people.

The madman possesses reason, but his thoughts consistently exceed the norm, and he desires to make his views the standard of the world. To this end, he is willing to use destruction and slaughter, and he will not feel guilty even if he commits heinous acts, but will only believe that these are necessary sacrifices in the pursuit of truth.

"Ah, of course I won't let you give for nothing. Your parents and sister in the human world will definitely receive the best care from us. You just need to use this ring to form contracts with as many demons as possible. Once you succeed, I guarantee you'll be well-fed and clothed for the rest of your life, and I'll even give you a position as an elder when you leave," the bald man said with a sinister grin.

"Then I'll accept this for now." Qin Jing lowered her head slightly to hide the anger that was about to show in her eyes, and accepted the ring.

"Yes, that's right. I'm looking forward to your performance. You belong to our cultivators' side, after all," the bald man said with a bright smile.

Qin Jing realized that these guys were the so-called cultivator supremacists that Senior Sister Xingzi had mentioned.

However, he didn't make a fuss because he saw an ominous black aura on the bald man's body. He felt that there was something behind it all, perhaps a human or a monster. He didn't plan to make a fuss until he figured it out.

"What I need you to do is make contracts with as many monsters as possible. After that, just wait for my instructions," the bald man said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Qin Jing agreed to take a look for now.

"Then I'll be leaving now. Wait for my message." The bald man said, standing up and turning to go downstairs.

Qin Jing saw him to the door.

"Xiao Jing! What are you talking about?" Wang Zi asked curiously as he ran up.

"No, it's nothing." Qin Jing shook her head.

At this moment, Momo grabbed Qin Jing's neck and pulled her close, holding Qin Jing's head against her chest, and said, "Don't be so formal! Little brother, you seem to be in trouble. Come and tell your sister. Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise, I won't let you go. Everyone is worried about you, so tell me quickly."

"Yes!" All the girls nodded emphatically.

"Sister Momo... I understand." Qin Jing nodded helplessly. She didn't want to involve you guys, but it felt nice to feel this kind of concern.

"Actually..." Qin Jing then recounted what had happened.

As Qin Jing walked through the academy, she was inevitably followed by those who came to visit, namely the disciples of the Holy Sect, to which the bald man Chang Hu belonged.

Under such surveillance, Qin Jing had no choice but to walk around with the black thumb ring, shaking hands and bumping fists with the monsters she knew.

When the Holy Sect disciples who were monitoring the situation informed Chang Hu of this, he revealed an evil smile.

At the meeting, Chang Hu began to wear a hooded cloak, covering half of his face. Even when his disciples asked him what he planned to do, he remained silent, making him seem very mysterious.

Two days later, Qin Jing suddenly received a phone call.

"Tomorrow, I will use the ring to command those monsters to come to the plaza in the center of the academy."

Qin Jing frowned, but still agreed as he had said.

Principal Qiongqi and all the teachers arrived at the conference room to discuss cooperation with the humans from the Cultivator Alliance.

"Hmm? Why isn't Elder Changhu here?" the old man with his hair tied up asked.

"My two senior masters, Master is unwell, so I will be acting in his place." The one wearing a gray robe that covered his face was Chang Hu's disciple.

"Hmph, the meeting is about to start, and the negotiations will go more smoothly without him," said the short, stout middle-aged man from the business alliance.

The monsters noticed the change on the other side, but they didn't pay any attention to it.

"Hmm? Where is that old human with the hood covering his head from today?" Teacher Yak said.

"Well, you must have eaten too much. After all, the human body is very delicate," Bian Que said.

"Ah, I'm so sleepy. I don't know why, but I feel especially sleepy here. I hope this meeting ends soon." Qiongqi yawned.

The black fox and the red panda exchanged a glance, then the black fox nodded to the monster on the other side, indicating that the meeting could begin.

"Then today's meeting officially begins, meow." The cat-headed monster in a suit walked out and said. As a cat-person, he was more adept at using human psychology to find human weaknesses.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Hu led the disciples of the Holy Sect to the main square.

Seeing that Qin Jing had brought such a huge group of monsters, Chang Hu laughed loudly, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing. Qin Jing, no wonder even monsters want to recruit a genius."

"Mr. Chang, what exactly do you want to do?" Qin Jing asked, looking at the madman.

“In ancient times, the human emperor would drink and make merry with great demons and saints. Demons did indeed do a lot to help humans, and we don’t want to deny their achievements. But as soon as the leader changes, or if humans do something that doesn’t suit their tastes, they will leave, or even bring down disasters. That’s unforgivable! If demons want to live, they have to be used by cultivators! Only cultivators are qualified to control this world.”

"The Penglai Academy, which wants to cooperate equally with humans, is a deformed heresy and should not exist at all. Demons have no right to talk about cooperation with cultivators; they should just accept enslavement like mortals!" The bald man became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyes turning bloodshot. He roared loudly.

Section 112, Chapter 46: The Black Thumb Ring Slaves People's Hearts

At this moment, two young men following behind Chang Hu stepped forward. They were disciples of the Holy Sect Master and had come along to broaden their horizons. They had never heard of any plan to destroy the Monster Academy.

Twelve years ago, the Holy Sect sent a female disciple here to try to secretly capture an elf and take it back, but the female disciple died on the continent of the demon realm.

A female demon with a pointed bird's head pulled a sword from a paper umbrella and destroyed all the sect's facilities for raising orphans. According to their master's recollection, the terrifying power displayed by that great demon was something the Holy Sect could not contend with.

More than a dozen elders of the Holy Sect who were involved in this activity were captured by a nine-tailed female demon without any power to fight back, and their cultivation was destroyed.

Since then, the Holy Sect has never dared to covet the monster world again, and in recent years it has begun to reform its internal structure and move closer to the Merchant Alliance.

From the very beginning, what Chang Hu wanted to do had nothing to do with the Holy Sect.

"Elder Changhu, this is not what we agreed on. Please stop!"

"The sect leader instructed us to befriend and win over that child, never to destroy the academy! Are you betraying the sect?"

"Shut up! The sect leader is old and feeble, a useless old man who hesitates and worries! If you can't keep up with me, then die!" The bald man's eyes were bloodshot as he transformed his hands into two long swords and cleaved the necks of his two fellow disciples.

"Ugh..." The two disciples clutched their throats and collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Come on, Qin Jing! Give me the ring in your hand! Let these monsters destroy this academy!" Chang Hu roared at Qin Jing as his hands, now covered in blood, transformed back into blood-stained palms.

He obtained this black ring, which can control any demon, from a powerful snake-like demon. Although he didn't know what the demon's schemes were, their goals were the same: to destroy Hourai Academy. So, there was no problem. Once he gained the power, he could defeat the snake demon later.
