Chapter 76

"Take it, this is a very nice gemstone. I've already inscribed a talisman inside it. Wearing it will keep those dirty things away from you." Seeing Zhong Yangying hesitant to take the blue gemstone, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but smile and said.

"Thank you, Master Jie." At this moment, Zhong Yangying was filled with admiration for Xia Yunjie. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly took the blue gemstone necklace, expressing her gratitude.

"Call me A Jie. By the way, I've eliminated that female ghost. I think if the Japanese know their place, they won't cause you any more trouble. If they dare to come back, let me know. I want to see if they have the nerve to play ghost tricks in China." Xia Yunjie said. As he spoke, he stood straight, exuding a powerful and confident aura.

This aura filled the entire room, making Xia Yunjie seem like a towering mountain. Even a strong woman like Zhong Yangying couldn't help but look up to him, feeling an inexplicable urge to bow and submit, to kneel at his feet forever.

Xia Yunjie naturally had this confidence. He possessed the bloodline of the ancient witch king Xia Yu and had received the true teachings of the Witch Xian sect. At a young age, his cultivation had already surpassed that of his master, far beyond the reach of ordinary fortune-tellers. The Japanese fortune-teller who controlled the female ghost, though unknown to Xia Yunjie, was seen by him as nothing more than a third-rate trick.

While Xia Yunjie viewed the use of ghosts to harm others as a low-level trick, Chiyoko Kaya in Kyoto, Japan, did not. She stood in the courtyard, hidden by a pine forest, with a cold expression.

Although the female ghost was far in China, Chiyoko Kaya's powers were not enough to sense it. However, the ghost she sent, known as a shikigami in Japanese onmyōdō, was a mother-child shikigami.

When the female shikigami in China was killed by Xia Yunjie, the mother shikigami in the mother-child ring immediately sensed it.

"Master, what's the emergency?" When Chiyoko Kaya stood facing the snow pine with a cold expression, Masaharu Sato hurriedly arrived.

This year was an election year in Japan, and as the head of the Sato family, Masaharu Sato was holding a family meeting to plan his brother's campaign for the House of Councillors. However, Chiyoko Kaya's call made him interrupt the meeting and rush over.

"I need to go to China and meet that woman. Arrange it for me." Chiyoko Kaya said, tightly holding a yellowed talisman, the one Xia Yunjie had drawn.

Just as Xia Yunjie didn't take Chiyoko Kaya seriously, Chiyoko Kaya didn't take Xia Yunjie seriously. The talisman was drawn by Xia Yunjie when he was learning to draw talismans, a basic one with clumsy strokes and ordinary yellow paper. After many years, its power had almost completely dissipated. So the talisman in Chiyoko Kaya's hand was almost powerless and crudely drawn.

From this crude talisman, it was not hard to deduce that even if the Chinese man had the ability to kill her shikigami, his strength was not much. The shikigami was a hard-earned and capable assistant for any onmyōji, and now it had been killed by Xia Yunjie, which naturally made Chiyoko Kaya furious.

"Alright, I'll arrange it immediately." Masaharu Sato's face changed slightly as he replied.

After saying this, Masaharu Sato turned to leave but then turned back cautiously and asked, "Master, has something changed in China?"

"That Chinese woman has also found a Chinese fortune-teller, but he's not a threat. I just want to meet him and see who he is, to have the nerve to attack without even a word." As Masaharu Sato asked, the coldness on Chiyoko Kaya's face gradually faded, replaced by a light and confident demeanor, though her eyes remained cold.

The Kaya family, though fallen, was still a well-known family in the Japanese onmyōdō community. Chiyoko Kaya, who had practiced secret techniques since childhood and was now the head of the Kaya family, was highly skilled and would not take a Chinese fortune-teller who drew such crude talismans seriously.

At first, when Masaharu Sato heard that Zhong Yangying had also found a fortune-teller, he was surprised and somewhat worried. However, when he saw Chiyoko Kaya speak so casually, he felt relieved.

Xia Yunjie, of course, did not know that his act of killing the female ghost had already provoked a beautiful onmyōji. At this moment, he had already reined in his powerful aura and said to Zhong Yangying with a serious face, "Sister Zhong, please don't mention this to anyone else. It's getting late, I'll go back now."

"Okay, I won't tell anyone. Even if I did, no one would believe me," Zhong Yangying nodded.

Xia Yunjie smiled and then turned to walk towards the bedroom door.

"A Jie!" Just as Xia Yunjie was about to reach the bedroom door, Zhong Yangying suddenly called out.

"Sister Zhong, is there anything else?" Xia Yunjie stopped and turned to ask.

"Stay for the night!" Zhong Yangying's voice trembled, but her eyes were fiery.

If before, even if Zhong Yangying had an interest in Xia Yunjie, it was from a position of superiority, as if she was keeping him as a kept man. But at this moment, she was truly and completely attracted to Xia Yunjie. She was drawn to his strong masculine aura and the unapproachable presence he had just exuded.

At this moment, her heart was filled with desire, longing to be under Xia Yunjie and to be completely conquered by him!

Xia Yunjie didn't dare to look into Zhong Yangying's fiery eyes, fearing that his increasingly fragile willpower would be consumed by the burning desire.

It was undeniable that Zhong Yangying was a mature woman with a fatal allure to a man who had never experienced such things, especially her plump and soft buttocks. Just thinking about the accidental touch earlier made Xia Yunjie's heart race and his willpower waver.

"No, I have to work tomorrow." Xia Yunjie said and fled from the bedroom, which was full of temptation.

Seeing Xia Yunjie leave without looking back, Zhong Yangying's passion immediately cooled, leaving her heart empty. After a long while, she sighed and hurriedly followed him out.

"A Jie, let Wu Ying drive you home." When she caught up with Xia Yunjie, Zhong Yangying spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, if they come to you, call me." Xia Yunjie, seeing Zhong Yangying's calm demeanor, felt a sense of relief but also a hint of loss.

"Thank you, A Jie." Zhong Yangying, a shrewd woman, looked at him with a hint of resentment.

"You're welcome!" Xia Yunjie nodded and turned to leave again.

As he walked out the door, Wu Ying was already waiting with the car door open.

Getting into the car, it drove through the empty streets of the early morning, the night seeming particularly quiet.

Xia Yunjie sat in the car, looking out the window, his mind filled with Zhong Yangying's passionate gaze and the accidental touch of her plump and soft body.

For a moment, Xia Yunjie felt a bit regretful, regretting not staying, regretting why he had to suppress his desires.

Male and female pleasure is a natural law. Why should he avoid it? Why not enjoy that moment of indulgence? But what about after indulgence? Could he pretend nothing had happened? If not, how would he handle his relationship with Sister Zhong?

Unconsciously, he got out of the car and walked through the quiet neighborhood, looking up at the bright moon. Xia Yunjie seemed to understand something.

Life is full of flavors, and refusing the temptation of indulgence is also a part of life. Perhaps this time he lost the opportunity for pleasure, but it made Xia Yunjie understand himself more deeply, and his character matured because of this restraint.

When Xia Yunjie stood at the door of his rented house, his heart, which had been stirred, was completely calm. But when he pushed the door open and saw Shen Liti, wearing a silk nightgown, curled up on the sofa like a kitten, the hem of her dress sliding down her smooth skin, revealing a large section of her white, plump thighs, his heart, which had been calm, became active again.

The two had been living together for over a week since their last argument. Perhaps it was Xia Yunjie's diligence and excellent cooking skills, but after eating the century egg and lean meat porridge, Shen Liti's attitude towards Xia Yunjie had completely changed. Whenever she was home for dinner, she would usually buy the groceries and clean up the dishes. Their relationship was surprisingly harmonious. The only thing that made Xia Yunjie feel a bit uncomfortable was that Shen Liti seemed to be as open as Du Haiqiong. For example, today, she knew a man was living in the house, yet she still watched Korean dramas in the living room late at night in a sexy nightgown, seemingly not worried that Xia Yunjie would lose control.

This made Xia Yunjie feel both hot and frustrated, suspecting that Shen Liti might also see him as a gay man. Several times, Xia Yunjie wanted to remind Shen Liti that he was not gay and that she should pay attention to her attire. But the words always died on his lips. If Shen Liti didn't think so, wouldn't he be making a fool of himself? Besides, if a woman could dress like that, and he, as a man, was still hesitant, he would probably be seen as having a problem.

In fact, things were not as complicated as Xia Yunjie thought. Once a woman trusts and likes a man, she often becomes more casual. Moreover, Shen Liti, who had been seen naked by Xia Yunjie on the first
