Chapter 1315: Chapter 732: Demigod, Qing Chen!

Five in the morning.

Qing Chen woke up from a chaotic nightmare, in which he dreamt of a brutal battle where Daytime Members and Parent Association Members were dying in droves, and he himself was riddled with brain cancer, with not much time left.

Their battle ultimately ended in failure.

Success eluded them at the final moment.

Upon waking up, Qing Chen saw Yangyang leaning against his bedside, weakly holding his hand, soft and moist.

Qing Chen had a fever, 39 degrees.

This was the first time he had fallen ill since becoming a Transcendent, showing just how much damage he had taken in the battle against Chen Yu.

His spirit, his body, all had fallen to their lowest point, and he could no longer fight.

Yangyang lifted her head: “You’re awake. I’ll get you some hot water. Drink it and then sleep for a while.”

Qing Chen’s gaze drifted past her, staring blankly at Jindai Yunlo.

At that moment, the nobleman had somehow obtained a genuine leather lounge chair and was lying on it in a robe.

The Skeleton Woman placed her Longsword to the side, carefully using an exquisitely crafted pure gold nail file to groom Jindai Yunlo’s toenails.

Tian Jingxia emerged from the well to groom and shave Jindai Yunlo’s beard, coating the owner’s chin evenly with white foam, then meticulously scraping it clean and finally laying a hot towel on the owner’s face, starting a head massage…

The Hundred-Eyed Demon was massaging Jindai Yunlo’s thighs.

The Shikigami were busier than ever.

Qing Chen was initially very sleepy, but the scene before him jolted him awake, a room full of ghosts!

“When did this start?” Qing Chen pointed at Jindai Yunlo.

Yangyang shrugged her shoulders.

Jindai Yunlo removed the towel from his face, happily saying, “It seems you’re really badly hurt. With such activities going on, and you still can’t notice, I’d guess now is the best time to kill you.”

Qing Chen replied, “Stop talking nonsense, I’m asking you… is this how Shikigami are used?”

Jindai Yunlo laughed, “How else to use them? During the Genji era, Shikigami were servants of Onmyoji. What do you think ‘Mao You’ is doing catching mice instead of fighting? It’s because its role was to keep the garden free of mice. What does Zashiki Doko do? It warms the futon. What does the Taocheng Temple Bell do? In that era, it was used to tell time.”

Qing Chen raised his eyebrows.

Jindai Yunlo continued, “Genji’s Ancestors were lazy and stingy. They didn’t want to hire servants to take care of their manor, so they captured over a hundred demons to watch over the place, saving money and worry. When a servant went grocery shopping, they might cheat on the grocery bill, but demons wouldn’t. Also, he found that once demons were given names, they were absolutely loyal, which was much better than humans.”

For a moment, Qing Chen didn’t even know whether or not this counted as a secret.

Say it’s not, but most people don’t know.

Say it is, but it’s so straightforward.

At this moment, Jindai Yunlo suddenly asked, “I want to know if Jinguji Maki, that little girl, has started training, and if she has, is she able to summon Shikigami, and… does she summon more Shikigami than we Onmyoji?”

Qing Chen’s heart skipped a beat: “Why are you asking about this? She’s still so young.”

Jindai Yunlo shook his head: “She was supposed to be of Northern royalty, but now, she’s living among commoners. If possible, one day when Jindai’s power shifts, I’ll bring her back.”

“Don’t even think about it,” Yangyang said. “She’s our little girl with Qing Chen. She can only grow up around us.”

In an instant, both Jindai Yunlo and Qing Chen fell silent.

At that moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon gently and carefully helped Jindai Yunlo put on shoes and socks and used its tall frame as a ‘curtain’ to shield Qing Chen and Yangyang from the view, allowing Jindai Yunlo to change into his mountaineering jacket.

Jindai Yunlo smiled at her and said, “Thank you, you all take a break.”

With that, all the Shikigami returned to his Divine Destiny Bridge.

Yangyang muttered, “And he didn’t even offer to have the same set for us. So stingy.”

Qing Chen: “…”

Jindai Yunlo asked: “What are the plans for today? Continuing to climb?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded. “For the next few days, until I recover, I’ll be relying on you all.”

“No problem!” Jindai Yunlo said, “But there must be a trade-off.”

“What trade-off?” Qing Chen was wary, “If you say you’re taking Xiao Zhenji away, don’t even think about it. I’ll demolish your house.”

“Relax, just mundane trivial matters.”

…

…

Xiao Zhang Tour Guide and several others had already been waiting at the homestay entrance.

One of the climbing team members, Jiang Ming asked, “Did any of you hear the explosion last night?”

“Heard it. It sounded really close to us,” said a female travel blogger, Zhou Hui. “I felt like the explosion was happening right above us…”

At this point, Qing Chen and Yangyang also came downstairs, both still had scarves covering their faces, but nearby Jindai Yunlo followed, looking refreshed without any intention of concealing his face.

When Zhou Hui saw Jindai Yunlo, Qing Chen clearly noticed the blogger’s eyes light up.

Xiao Zhang Tour Guide quickly introduced, “President Liu’s wife, Liu Shuangxi, left South Pool Market due to severe altitude sickness last night. This gentleman from Island Country, Mr. Jindai Yunlo, is a solo climber staying in Nan Chi Town, and will be joining our team to climb Mount Everest in the future.”
