Chapter 83

Clearly, Ms. Zhong, this wealthy woman, knew how to enjoy life. The villa, situated on a hillside, was hidden among pine and cypress trees, appearing ancient and simple from the outside, but inside it was a different world.

The courtyard was meticulously maintained, with a lush green lawn and flowers of various colors. A large, beautifully pruned apple tree stood right in the center of the lawn.

This was the season when apples began to ripen, and the tree was laden with green and red apples. A wicker chair for cooling off was placed under the apple tree.

Xia Yunjie loved such a courtyard and its layout, feeling as if he were in a utopia. He thought to himself that once he had enough experience and money, he would also build a hillside villa like Ms. Zhong's.

Of course, with his current profession and income, he could only dream about it for now.

Sitting leisurely in the wicker chair under the apple tree, Xia Yunjie closed his eyes and slowly swayed the chair, his face showing a look of deep satisfaction.

Ma Sheng Shatree, however, was pitiful. Limping, he hobbled toward the apple tree. Even if Xia Yunjie were truly asleep, Ma Sheng Shatree wouldn't dare to run away.

He had run far enough just now, but the other person could hit his knee with a pebble without even turning around. Fortunately, the slope wasn't steep, or he would have rolled down the hill. At that time, he wouldn't even have the chance to cry.

When Ma Sheng Shatree hobbled toward Xia Yunjie, the petite Chiy叶 Yuzi had already walked to the apple tree and stood silently, her pitch-black eyes quietly looking at Xia Yunjie, revealing a deep sense of awe from the depths of her soul.

Before, she thought the head of the family was very powerful in magic, but now, the head of the family was still circling in the same place, and she hadn't even seen how the other person made a move!

Before, she thought her ninja skills were very powerful, but now, her right wrist still hurt as if it were broken, and the other person had only casually blocked it with a hand behind his back!

"You can come in too!" Just as Chiy叶 Yuzi was looking at Xia Yunjie with awe, Xia Yunjie suddenly opened his eyes and beckoned to Chiy叶 Jiazi, who was still circling in the courtyard.

With this gesture, Chiy叶 Jiazi, who had been dizzy from circling in the formation, suddenly felt a clear and open view. Once again, she saw a familiar scene and a familiar figure. The young man she had previously looked down upon was now lying in the wicker chair, swaying leisurely.

After seeing Xia Yunjie's abilities, Chiy叶 Jiazi no longer had the arrogance she had before.

She walked toward Xia Yunjie, her fair and dignified face showing a humble and trembling expression.

"Junior has failed to recognize your greatness, please show mercy!" Chiy叶 Jiazi walked up to Xia Yunjie and, without looking at Ma Sheng Shatree, bowed respectfully and apologized. She saw that Xia Yunjie could cast spells and set up formations in the air, clearly indicating that his magical power was astonishingly high, so she assumed he was a senior with great abilities. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how such a young person could have such profound and powerful magic.

Chiy叶 Jiazi's figure was plump and attractive. When she bowed deeply, her full bosom and round buttocks, along with her slender waist, formed an enticing curve. Especially when her full bosom pushed open the collar, revealing a glimpse of porcelain-white skin, it was almost blindingly white.

Although Xia Yunjie had never thought about having any intimate relationship with a Japanese woman, the sight of that snow-white and smooth, delicate skin still made his heart stir.

"I don't dare to be called a senior! As for showing mercy, I certainly don't dare to do that." Xia Yunjie said slowly.

Although the female yin-yang practitioner in front of him was very beautiful and attractive, making him want to strip off her clothes and admire her plump, snow-white body, the thought of her using a female ghost to frame Zhong Yangying for profit filled him with disgust.

"What do you mean, senior?" Chiy叶 Jiazi's face changed upon hearing this.

"Nothing much. I am always very easy to talk to, as long as you don't offend me. Unfortunately, you have offended me, and not just once. I have already warned you, but you came to China from afar the next day. Did you want to take revenge for the female ghost? Now that you can't beat me, you want me to show mercy? Do you think the world is that cheap? Or do you think I am someone who can be easily bullied?" As Xia Yunjie spoke, he suddenly slapped the armrest of the wicker chair, sat up straight, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, emitting a fierce and domineering aura.

A shaman, with the top horizontal line reaching the sky and the bottom horizontal line reaching the earth, the middle vertical line connecting heaven and earth, and the middle part unifying people, is a true master who controls all living things in heaven and earth. How could such a person be easily provoked!

As soon as Xia Yunjie's aura appeared, Ma Sheng Shatree and Chiy叶 Yuzi immediately trembled all over, cold sweat rolling down their foreheads as if the end of the world were coming. Chiy叶 Jiazi, with her magical powers, was not as bad off, but she was not much better.

At this moment, she was tense, her magical power already running to resist the terrifying aura. Even so, she still felt a powerful force pressing on her heart, making her feel as if she couldn't breathe.

"What do you want, senior?" Chiy叶 Jiazi asked with difficulty, her beautiful eyes showing deep regret and panic.

"Very simple, all three of you must take a blood oath and become my servants. I don't want to have to worry about you coming to take revenge on me every day after I let you go. Of course, you can refuse, but if you do, I guarantee you will regret it even more!" Xia Yunjie slowly stood up, emitting a fierce and domineering aura.

Chiy叶 Jiazi's face changed drastically upon hearing this. She tightly gripped a black jade in her delicate hands, quickly drawing on it, and stared at Xia Yunjie with a cold, icy tone: "Senior, are you really unwilling to show mercy?"

"You must be very不服气 (unconvinced). I trapped you in the formation just now without even showing my skills. Now, I'll give you this chance!" Xia Yunjie watched Chiy叶 Jiazi's fingers quickly drawing on the black jade, a hint of disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't that Xia Yunjie was arrogant, but he had the bloodline of the shaman king Xia Yu. Once he revealed his shaman identity, he naturally exuded the aura of a king, no longer the humble and modest person he was when working.

Moreover, Xia Yunjie's cultivation had long surpassed that of his master, Wu Ze. Wu Ze had once said that if there were any world-class experts in this world, Xia Yunjie would definitely be one of them. Xia Yunjie didn't believe that he would randomly encounter a world-class expert in a Japanese female yin-yang practitioner, especially since it was clear that Chiy叶 Jiazi's magical power was very weak compared to his. Therefore, Xia Yunjie thought that no matter what Chiy叶 Jiazi did, it would only be a small trick, not causing any significant trouble.

Seeing that Xia Yunjie didn't stop her, Chiy叶 Jiazi's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, and her fingers moved even faster on the black jade.

Gradually, the black jade began to glow, emitting an extremely terrifying aura. The aura grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a dense, ink-black cloud that covered the villa.

Suddenly, the hillside villa, which had been like a utopia, was filled with cold winds and rampant evil aura, as if it had turned into a hell on earth.

Ma Sheng Shatree and Chiy叶 Yuzi, being ordinary people, couldn't withstand the invasion of the cold winds and evil aura, and they were already curled up, shivering. Especially Chiy叶 Yuzi, who looked at the dense, ink-black cloud in the sky with horror and fear, as if she had seen a terrifying demon that could destroy the world.

Not only Chiy叶 Yuzi, but even Chiy叶 Jiazi, after casting her spell, had a pale face and eyes filled with fear.

Only Xia Yunjie, frowning and looking at the black cloud in the sky, showed a look of surprise.

He hadn't expected that Chiy叶 Jiazi could summon such a powerful spirit, and he seemed to sense a hint of ancient and familiar aura from this spirit.

"Who is it? Who has awakened me!" Just as Xia Yunjie was surprised, a thunderous voice came from the black cloud, and the dense, substantial black cloud began to roll, gradually revealing a terrifying giant snake with a body as large as a mountain, with eight fierce heads and eight tails.

As soon as this terrifying giant snake appeared, Chiy叶 Jiazi immediately fell to the ground, trembling and said, "Great God Yamata no Orochi, it is the current head of the Chiy叶 family, Chiy叶 Jiazi, who seeks your help."

This terrifying giant snake was the famous Yamata no Orochi from Japanese mythology, often referred to as the Great God Yamata no Orochi by the Japanese.

"Chiy叶 family? I remember now. Do you know the price of awakening me from my slumber?" Yamata no Orochi, as if it had been asleep for too long, took a while to remember the Chiy叶 family, and its eight heads swayed, its voice like rolling thunder.

As it swayed its heads, the garden was immediately filled with cold winds, and the apples on the apple tree in the center of the lawn fell like rain, making Xia Yunjie frown, but he still didn't make a move or speak.

Although Yamata no Orochi was powerful, it was just a formless spirit and couldn't compare to Xia Yunjie. He could easily summon a thunderbolt to strike it, and formless spirits were most afraid of thunderbolts. Therefore, although Yamata no Orochi was powerful, Xia Yunjie wasn't afraid of it at all, just curious.

"I know. Afterward, I will offer one soul and two spirits from my three souls and seven spirits to the great god. This person's soul and spirits are powerful, and the great god will surely like them." Chiy叶 Jiazi, lying on the ground, said with a look of fear and sorrow.

A person's soul is formed by the aggregation of souls and spirits. There are three souls: the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the life soul. There are seven spirits: the heavenly impulse, the spiritual wisdom, the qi, the strength, the central nervous system, the essence, and the hero. Although a yin-yang practitioner with magical power wouldn't die by offering one soul and two spirits, losing one soul and two spirits would cut off their path of cultivation, and they would definitely not be as sharp as before.

"Oh, is it him?" Upon hearing this, Yamata no Orochi's eight lantern-like eyes suddenly lit up, looking down at Xia Yunjie.
