Chapter 12: The God-Slaying Body and the Cursed Bond Between Heaven and Man!

"Fine, I no longer have a reason to recruit you to join Jujutsu High." Zen'in Maki sighed, speaking with some helplessness.

However, just when she had already lost hope, Li An suddenly shifted the topic: "Actually, if you want me to be affiliated with Jujutsu High, that's fine too, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Zen'in Maki immediately perked up.

Looking at her cute appearance, Li An suddenly let the little head take charge of the big head, and swapped the original condition for: "Maki, go out with me!"

"Huh???" Zen'in Maki froze in a daze, but after reacting, she immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No no no, we just met, we don't even know each other yet. Although Li An, you're really handsome, and I do have a good impression of you, how can something like this happen so suddenly!"

Seeing her refuse, Li An was also a bit disappointed as he said: "Then forget it."

Seeing this, Zen'in Maki worried that Li An would be unwilling to join Jujutsu High, and said with a blushing face: "Li An, you... could you change the condition? As for dating... actually I didn't mean to refuse you either. I... we... can take it slow, start with dates first, get to know each other."

"Is that so, I'll think about it." Li An's answer was noncommittal, leaving Zen'in Maki full of regret.

She secretly cursed herself for being too reserved—if only she had agreed to date Li An.

After all, he was exactly her type; it was just dating, not going straight to bed.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm heading out to go shopping." Li An looked at Zen'in Maki not speaking, and spoke up again.

"I'll go with you." Zen'in Maki was unwilling to just leave like that.

"Sure, then let's go together." Li An nodded.

He closed the door, then took a taxi with Zen'in Maki to Ginza.

Ginza is a major commercial district in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, and also the most bustling downtown area, known as 'the most expensive place in Asia,' famous for its high-end shopping stores, gathering famous brand goods from all over the world.

It is a shopper's paradise and the heart of Tokyo, ranked alongside Paris's Champs-Élysées and New York's Fifth Avenue as one of the world's three great bustling commercial centers.

Li An and Zen'in Maki sat in the car for half an hour before reaching their destination.

After getting out, the two headed straight for a shopping mall.

Li An's main purpose today was to buy clothes, because with his changed physique, many of his existing clothes no longer fit.

The two headed straight for the clothing section as soon as they entered the mall.

Li An casually picked out a few items, but each one was rejected by Zen'in Maki one by one.

Then she personally picked out an outfit for Li An, and after he tried it on, it did feel pretty good.

Blue slim-fit jeans paired with a white shirt, and a pair of white sneakers on his feet.

The overall look was very simple, yet appeared very clean, and full of youthful energy.

"Those flashy things are useless on you. With looks this good and a body this great, just pick the simplest ones." Zen'in Maki sized up Li An, saying very satisfied.

At this moment, not only her, but the young salesladies in the store, and those women who had accompanied their boyfriends to buy clothes—all had their gazes drawn to Li An.

No choice, he's too handsome!

He's simply the perfect male god straight out of a manga!

Li An paid no attention to these gazes, instead quite enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

He'd been ordinary for a lifetime in his past life—what's wrong with being a bit flashy in this one?

All the things he never got to enjoy, he wanted to enjoy them all!

"Your taste in clothes is really good, then help me pick out some more." Li An said to Zen'in Maki.

"Leave it to me!" Zen'in Maki gave a thumbs-up, giving him a reassuring look.

Next, the two ran through every store in the clothing section, picking out a full hundred-plus outfits and pairs of shoes.

Whatever Zen'in Maki picked, Li An bought them all.

As for how to carry so many clothes, of course they were tossed into the system space.

Zen'in Maki was very envious of Li An's storage space; because she couldn't use Cursed Technique, she had to carry a lot of cursed tools every time she exorcise curse.

If she could also have a storage space, going out on missions would be much more convenient.

Time quickly came to evening, and Li An said to Zen'in Maki: "Thanks for helping me pick out clothes today, let me treat you to dinner. What do you want to eat?"

"I'm not picky, anything is fine, go with your taste." Zen'in Maki said with a smile.

She was also very satisfied today, having watched an entire afternoon of handsome-guy fashion show—needless to say how great that felt.

"Then let's have sukiyaki." Li An remembered there was a good sukiyaki restaurant in the dining area on the fifth floor of this mall.

Last time he came to eat, it was with his younger sister Adagaki Aki.

"Mm!" Zen'in Maki nodded.

The two then took the elevator to the fifth floor, but had just walked into the restaurant when they ran into someone familiar.

At this moment, a man and a woman were sitting in a booth inside the restaurant.

The man was in his thirties, dressed in a full suit, ordinary-looking, wearing a pair of glasses.

The woman looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight; although beautiful, she gave off a tomboyish vibe, and her clothing and styling were also very masculine.

Li An didn't recognize the man, but the woman was his high school teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Because of her personality, she, already twenty-seven or twenty-eight, had never married, so age and being unmarried were taboo subjects for her.

Judging by the situation, she was probably on another blind date.

Li An saw Hiratsuka Shizuka, and naturally she saw him too.

Hiratsuka Shizuka never expected that going out on a blind date she'd run into her own student.

How embarrassing!

She was seen blinking at Li An, seemingly warning him not to come over and mess up her blind date.

Li An gave a slight smile, giving her a reassuring look in return.

Seeing this, Zen'in Maki curiously asked: "Someone you know?"

"Mm, her name is Hiratsuka Shizuka, she's our class's Japanese teacher and life guidance teacher." Li An nodded.

"She's quite pretty. Such a great beauty actually going on blind dates?" Zen'in Maki said, a bit puzzled.

"She's too picky about the other half, and her own personality doesn't resemble a woman at all, so she's never found a partner." Li An said, while also glancing at Zen'in Maki twice.

Because in some respects, Shizuka Himuro and Zenin Maki are quite similar.

Zenin Maki felt a bit ashamed of being looked at and covered her chest with both hands, saying, "What kind of look is that? I won't fail to find the other half!"

"I know; after all, I quite like your type," Li An said with a teasing smile.

"Idiot... idiot! Don't say such things in public!" Zenin Maki's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but punch Li An directly.

The force of that punch was so great that if it had hit an ordinary person, they would probably have been knocked flying.

But when it struck Li An, there was not even a hint of sensation.

His current body was a Divine Body, and it also integrated the traits of the God-Slaying Body and the Heavenly Restriction, making it immensely powerful.
