Chapter 67

Kurahashi Kyoko also took out a notebook and gave it to Li An; when Li An opened it, he found that it recorded all kinds of Onmyodo.

Not only the general-style Onmyodo in common use today, but also the more offensive Imperial-style Onmyodo.

Kurahashi Kyoko said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've learned so much magic from you, and I couldn't bear to learn it for free, so I copied out all the Onmyodo in my family's collection."

Li An closed the notebook and asked, "Does your grandmother know about this?"

"She... she doesn't know." Kurahashi Kyoko shook her head.

Li An was a bit speechless—this girl was a dimwit too.

Although these Onmyodo were not of great value to him personally.

But for others, they would be priceless treasures.

Casually teaching the family's techniques to outsiders—she really had the nerve.

However, Li An had no intention of returning them either; once something was in his hands, it was his.

If the Kurahashi family was unhappy about it, they could come to his door to demand it back.

But even if you gave them a hundred guts, would they dare?

Li An put away the notebook and said, "I'll accept the Onmyodo. In exchange, today I'll also teach you some powerful magic."

"Mm!" Hearing that she could learn powerful magic, Kurahashi Kyoko immediately nodded excitedly.

Ever since she began learning magic, she had found that magic was far more useful than Onmyodo.

Li An flipped through the memories of magic from the Divine World in his mind, and quickly found some magic suited to Zen'in Maki and Kurahashi Kyoko.

Zen'in Maki excelled at close combat and physical brawling, so Li An prepared to teach her three magics: "Body Reinforcement," "Destruction," and "Evil Repelling."

These were all magics that the female protagonist of the Divine World, Erica, excelled at; her path was dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, which suited Zen'in Maki perfectly.

As for Kurahashi Kyoko, Li An selected three magics for her—"Spirit Invocation," "Wind Summoning," and "Magic Melody"—leaning toward the support category.

Because she fought by summoning shikigami, if he further cast enhancement buffs on her shikigami, it could multiply the shikigami's power several times over.

After selecting the magics, Li An began personally instructing the two women.

Then he split off a clone, and had the clone go study the Onmyodo that Kurahashi Kyoko had given him.

Time quickly passed in the interaction and study among the three.

Night fell.

Li Ying and Hotarugusa had finished making dinner, and called the three to eat.

The three also stopped studying, each went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came together to the dining room to eat.

During the meal, Hotarugusa suddenly asked Li An, "Master, we have so many rooms in the house—can Yuki-onna-sister, Bai Lang-sister, Ubume-sister, and the others live here together?"

Li An fell briefly silent upon hearing this.

He had ten shikigami; Hotarugusa, Shōnen, and Shōjo—the three of them—had always been kept outside, while Yuki-onna and the other seven were locked in the shikigami space; that seemed a bit unfair.

Since they were all his shikigami, he should treat them equally.

However, Kuchisake-shiro and Kuchisake-kuro were male shikigami; he couldn't very well have them living in the villa too—that wouldn't be proper.

They were different from Shōnen; Shōnen was still a child, so living together was fine.

But Kuchisake-shiro and Kuchisake-kuro were both adult males.

After a brief thought, he came up with a solution.

Li An agreed with a smile, "Sure. Tomorrow Master will buy the villa next door too, and then Yuki-onna and the others can live together with us."

"That's wonderful, Master, you're so nice!" Hotarugusa cheered happily.

Shōnen and Shōjo were also very happy. After the ten of them were chosen by the system and became shikigami of the "Shadow Manipulation Technique," they were essentially blood siblings, and shared deep emotional bonds with one another.

Now that Master had agreed to let their older brothers and sisters come out and live together, they couldn't have been happier.

Zen'in Maki asked curiously, "Li An, you have shikigami too?"

Kurahashi Kyoko answered first, "You didn't know? Li An can use your Zen'in family's 'Shadow Manipulation Technique'!"

"What? Such a thing exists?" Zen'in Maki stared at Li An in utter shock.

She knew very well that an heir of the "Shadow Manipulation Technique" had already been born in this generation—how could another one possibly appear!

Li An explained with a smile, "My Innate Technique is called 'Alpha and Omega.' It can use every technique in the world, and naturally that includes the Zen'in family's 'Shadow Manipulation Technique.'"

He repeated to Zen'in Maki what he had previously said to Kurahashi Kyoko.

After hearing it all, Zen'in Maki was completely dumbfounded.

As a sorcerer, she understood very well how terrifying it would be if what Li An said was true!

Apart from inherited techniques, the Innate Techniques that most sorcerers awakened were all different.

A thousand people, a thousand Hamlets!

The abilities of those Innate Techniques all differed; if one could use them all, wouldn't that be equivalent to an omniscient and omnipotent deity?

After recovering, Zen'in Maki immediately asked, "Then can you also use Gojo-sensei's 'Limitless Technique'?"

Li An smiled slightly, then activated the Six Eyes.

His originally pitch-black pupils turned the azure blue of the sky, radiating light.

"It's actually the Six Eyes!" Zen'in Maki exclaimed.

"Here, stretch out your hand and touch mine." Li An extended his palm and said to Zen'in Maki.

Zen'in Maki nodded and reached out to touch Li An's palm.

But when she was still five centimeters away from his palm, she could advance no further.

An invisible repulsive force blocked her.

Indeed, this was Gojo Satoru's "Limitless Technique"!

At this moment, Zen'in Maki finally understood just how strong Li An was.

Although she had known he was very strong before, she had never had a concrete sense of it.

Now it seems I know.

That is utterly out of reach!

At this moment, Kurahashi Kyoko suddenly asked, "Li An, did you go out last night to subdue shikigami?"

"Yes, I subdued all seven of Hotarugusa's older brothers and sisters." Li An smiled and nodded.

"As I thought, I knew it was you; only you could cause such a huge commotion." Kurahashi Kyoko wore an expression of "just as expected."

Early this morning, her father, Kurahashi Genji, called her, instructing her to approach Li An by any means necessary, even to become his woman.

To support her, the Onmyo Hall will also send Tuyu Natsume and Dairenji Suzuka to assist her.
