Chapter 213: Return, Changing the Shikigami

Seeing the couple's hesitation, Li An knew they had misunderstood.

So he said again, "The custody of Kuroi and Shiroi is still yours; I simply mean for them to stay by my side so I can raise them, teach them to grow stronger, and you may visit them whenever you like!"

Hearing this, the couple of Anku Shichisei immediately looked relieved.

He no longer hesitated: "My lord, I accept your offer!"

"Excellent!" Li An smiled and stood up.

He walked before the couple of Anku Shichisei and, with a wave of his hand, sent two beams of divine light into their bodies.

Immediately, the couple's bodies regained the vitality of their twenties.

Their appearances also changed somewhat from their original state.

The couple exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of shock.

They had not only become younger but also more handsome and beautiful.

At this moment, they looked like a young couple, the man handsome and the woman lovely!

"This... this... how is this possible?" Anku Shichisei's wife looked at her own transformation, her face filled with joy; she was beyond excited.

Anku Shichisei, eyes wide, looked at Li An and said, "My lord... are... are you truly a deity?"

"Knowing is enough; do not speak of it." Li An smiled and said.

Anku Shichisei nodded hastily, understanding the gravity of the matter.

Next, the couple chatted with their daughter for a while, left her here, and then departed.

However, they did not go far; they stayed at a nearby hotel for the night.

By the next day, they had purchased a house in the same building where Li An resided.

This way, they could visit their daughter every day.

On Li An's side, after inheriting all equity of the Sphinx Corporation, he still dispatched the couple of Anku Shichisei back to work.

However, their current roles were merely general manager and deputy manager, working for Li An.

The company's business remained unchanged, still researching ghoul-related matters.

However, with the official cooperation with the CCG cancelled, the company would be unable to develop Quinque weapons.

As a result, the company's revenue dropped significantly.

Li An instructed Anku Shichisei to develop side businesses, directing them toward livelihood-oriented fields.

In the early stage, lacking investment, Li An could provide it.

After all, however much was needed, he could conjure it.

As for whether this would cause inflation in the Sakura Kingdom, what did that have to do with him?

After Anku Shichisei took over the company again, he began gradually purging all personnel connected to the Washuu family and the CCG, then cultivating his own confidants.

Once Li An had settled the affairs of the Sphinx Corporation, he no longer interfered in management, handing full authority over to the couple of Anku Shichisei.

As for Anku Kuroi and Anku Shiroi, Li An treated them as his own younger sisters to raise.

Now that he was present, he would certainly not let the two women become ghouls as they did in the original story.
