Chapter 21

Time flew by, and a week had passed.

During this week, Chen Yue and Chen Xing, the two sisters, had a relatively good time. Although they were still unfamiliar with the strange environment of the General's residence, they no longer had to worry about being beaten.

Moreover, because of Dongfang Xiuzhe's special instructions, the two sisters didn't even have to work. Their daily task was to stay by Dongfang Xiuzhe's side, even during classes.

Compared to where they used to live, this place was like heaven! Not only did they have enough to eat, but they also had good clothes. After just a week of living here, the two sisters seemed to have been completely transformed. They accompanied Dongfang Xiuzhe in and out, like two beautiful and devoted maids.

Children who have suffered grow up fast, and Chen Yue and Chen Xing were no exception. Despite being only in their early teens, they understood many things. They knew that all of this was thanks to Dongfang Xiuzhe, so the two sisters were genuinely grateful to this young master. They served him with all their heart, being meticulous and attentive in their care. Except for some heavy tasks they couldn't handle, they did things like serving tea, pouring water, washing faces, and making beds very well.

Remarkably, the two sisters seemed to have a special connection with Dongfang Xiuzhe. They could understand his intentions with just a glance, without needing any words.

The more time they spent together, the more Dongfang Xiuzhe felt that buying these two sisters was a wise decision!

......

To activate the "Yin-Yang Eye," Dongfang Xiuzhe made an excuse to take a few days off from Lin Yaizi and even sent the two maids, Chen Yue and Chen Xing, away.

The "Yin-Yang Eye" that Dongfang Xiuzhe wanted to activate was different from the ordinary "Yin-Yang Eye" used by Yin-Yang masters. His "Yin-Yang Eye" could be divided into five realms:

Earth Suppress, Night Pursue, Heaven Beam, Demon Devour, and Godless!

This "Yin-Yang Eye" was not limited to just seeing ghosts and demons.

Each realm would grant unique abilities, and these abilities were not singular. Its strength lay in the fact that it could be refined and evolved through continuous use, much like how a person's hands and feet become more agile with use!

If one had to describe it, this could be considered a special technique within the Yin-Yang Five Elements arts!

Because opening this "Yin-Yang Eye" carried a certain level of danger, even Dongfang Xiuzhe did not dare to be careless and made thorough preparations.

Perhaps due to his "Yin-Yang Absolute Pulse" or the abundant spiritual energy in this world, although there were a few minor issues during the process of opening the "Yin-Yang Eye," the result was ultimately smooth and far exceeded Dongfang Xiuzhe's expectations.

With a "pu" sound, a mouthful of turbid air was expelled, and Dongfang Xiuzhe slowly opened his eyes.

Those originally bright and clear eyes now seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, giving a hazy, indistinct feeling.

If you looked closely, you would notice that his pupils were actually composed of a "Yin-Yang Fish" symbol—half white, half black, with black in the white and white in the black. It was hard to notice because it was spinning at high speed.

"I've succeeded! The 'Yin-Yang Eye' has finally been successfully opened!"

His fingers gently caressed his eyes, and a smile spread across Dongfang Xiuzhe's face.

Walking to the mirror, he looked at his changed eyes in the reflection. Dongfang Xiuzhe knew this was the characteristic of the "Earth Suppress" realm of the "Yin-Yang Eye."

In his previous life, Dongfang Xiuzhe's Yin-Yang Eye had only reached the "Night Pursue" realm. In this life, at the age of three, he had already opened the Yin-Yang Eye to the "Earth Suppress" realm, which was unprecedented.

Perhaps one day, he might truly reach the legendary "Godless" realm!

"With this Yin-Yang Eye, my overall strength will rise to a new level!"

The more Dongfang Xiuzhe thought about it, the more pleased he became. Just then, his eyes suddenly felt a sharp pain, followed by a dizzying sensation.

"Sure enough, the aftereffects of forcibly opening the 'Yin-Yang Eye' have come!" A bitter smile appeared on his lips. Since he had known this was inevitable, he was not too surprised.

These aftereffects would diminish as he became more proficient in using the "Yin-Yang Eye."

"The 'Yin-Yang Eye' is now open, but it's still unstable. I need to use it more to stabilize it!"

Closing his eyes to rest for a while, Dongfang Xiuzhe felt much better. He began to ponder his future cultivation process.

The "Yin-Yang Eye" was beneficial in that the more it was used, the more powerful it became. As long as he could endure the fatigue and pain caused by the energy consumption, his eyes' abilities would continuously improve until a qualitative change occurred, allowing him to advance to a new realm!

This meant that for Dongfang Xiuzhe's Yin-Yang Eye to advance from "Earth Suppress" to "Night Pursue," mere cultivation was not enough; he needed to use it continuously!

"Although I have accumulated some spiritual energy in my body, the initial use of the 'Yin-Yang Eye' consumes a lot of energy. I wonder how many times I can use it in a day?

Sigh, I need to find a way to increase the speed of my spiritual energy accumulation!"

Feeling bitter, Dongfang Xiuzhe stood up again.

Stretching, he waved his hand to dispel the barrier and walked out of the room.

It was morning outside, with clouds floating in the sky and a gentle breeze bringing a refreshing feeling.

"Where are Chen Yue and Chen Xing now? I've been in seclusion for two days, right?" He muttered to himself as he slowly descended the steps.

In a way that went unnoticed, Dongfang Xiuzhe recalled the shikigami that had been his substitute.

I wonder if anyone noticed anything amiss with the substitute during these two days?

Finding the maid Xiaocui, Dongfang Xiuzhe asked where Chen Yue and Chen Xing were.

"Huh? Young Master, why are you here? I thought you were in the front courtyard?" Xiaocui looked puzzled, unable to understand what was happening.

Dongfang Xiuzhe naturally didn't explain and asked again where Chen Yue and Chen Xing were.

Xiaocui, being a bit careless, didn't think much about it and said, "Young Master, they should be helping in the kitchen!"

"Helping?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe's brows furrowed. He had clearly instructed that these two girls should not do anything other than serve him. Who dared to ignore his words?

"Is it because I'm young and my words lack authority?"

His face showed a slight displeasure as he quickly called for Xiaocui to bring Chen Yue and Chen Xing.

It didn't take long for Chen Yue and Chen Xing to be led over by Xiaocui.

Seeing Chen Yue and Chen Xing approach, especially their current state, Dongfang Xiuzhe's brows furrowed even more, and his face turned dark!

This was the first time Dongfang Xiuzhe had been so angry!

He could see that Chen Yue and Chen Xing's small hands were red and swollen, and their delicate faces bore a prominent red handprint!

Who had hit them?

Don't they know they belong to me??

Or do they not even care about me??

Dongfang Xiuzhe's anger turned to a cold laugh, and his eyes suddenly became icy cold.

He wanted to see who was so arrogant. It was a good time to test his newly opened Yin-Yang Eye!
