Chapter 55: Future, Eternity
I felt much better than before, and my legs no longer felt unsteady. Was it because Yu Hui lent me her strength?
If this doesn’t work, it’ll be too embarrassing.
I walked step by step toward the center of the battle, shouting her name with each step. Even if it had no effect, I had to shout it, so she couldn’t concentrate on dealing with Xue Qing.
Then, I finally entered the battle circle.
It was as if I had fallen into icy sea and couldn’t move at all. The sound of the sword rang in my ears, and the blade was only two millimeters away from touching my cheek.
As expected, Ye Liusu immediately targeted me and attacked.
However, I still couldn’t see anything clearly. In this terrifying atmosphere, it felt like taking a step required courage.
But I didn’t panic, nor did I dodge. I just walked forward with all my heart.
Because I knew Xue Qing would protect me.
The sword light flashed frequently less than half a meter away from me, and I kept moving forward… until I reached Lian Bing and raised my hand.
I was not restricted in any way during the process… No, it should be said that all attacks directed at me were blocked.
Xue Qing would no longer let anyone touch me.
When I finally reached her, Xue Qing had already hugged her from behind and restrained her hands, rendering her unable to move.
Therefore, I successfully placed the ghost-suppressing talisman on her forehead.
“…..You think this can suppress me?! Don’t even think about it! I can break this kind of talisman in a little time! And you can’t do anything to me! Hahahaha, this body is your girlfriend, will you be so heartless as to kill your girlfriend with your own hands?”
This guy is shameless…
If I killed Lian Bing with my own hands at this moment, I would only live in self-reproach afterward. And if I did nothing, everyone present would be killed by her.
So, I chose… to take out the magatama from my pocket.
“Th-then, what do you want to do?!”
“…I just want to give my girlfriend a birthday present with my own hands.”
However, I can’t guarantee what “you” will become…
Even though the flames have temporarily blinded you, if you are really touched by those flames, what will happen…
Only God knows!
The magatama in my hand turned from green to red, and then ignited with orange flames. It didn’t burn my body, nor did it burn the rope.
“Stop! Stop it! Don’t bring that thing near me!”

Oh, this look of terror is quite rare. If it were Lian Bing, she would never show such an expression in front of me, huh…
“Please! It’s my fault! Please don’t bring that thing… I’ll leave, I’ll leave this body right now! I’ll tear off this talisman and leave immediately! Please let me go!” “Want to leave? That won’t do.”
I ignored her and slipped the magatama around her neck.
The magatama fell perfectly into the gap of her low-cut sweater, and the flames directly touched her skin.
Instantly, a black mist emerged from her body, trying to escape, but it was too late. Even a trace of the red flame was enough to set her ablaze, and the flames were unstoppable.
“Ahhhhhh…..”
She was scattered into ashes in her screams.
“Jun Cheng, what is this?”
She finally recovered. I gave a bitter smile and stroked Lian Bing’s cheek, asking,
“A birthday present for you, do you like it?”
Lian Bing placed her hands over mine, tilted her head, closed her eyes, and felt it for a moment before smiling and saying,
“…I like it, very much, hehehehe~”
Then…
Ha, my goal for today has finally been achieved.
I feel like I’ve gone on a very long detour, I’m so tired…
“Hehehehe, but, Jun Cheng, is there something else you haven’t told me?”
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“Anything else?!”
“…I shouldn’t have been so close to other girls, right… This is my fault, I’m sorry.”
I frankly admitted my mistake. I thought Lian Bing wouldn’t forgive me even so, but unexpectedly, she smiled sweetly, leaned over, and kissed my cheek, giggling,
“Of course, I choose to forgive you~”
Oh, thank goodness for that…
Xue Qing also walked to my side and shook my left wrist, indicating her presence.
I patted her head and praised her.
“You worked hard, Xue Qing.”
….

With her face pressed against my palm, Xue Qing, whose lips were slightly upturned, suddenly pulled my hand down, making me bend over, and then leaned her cheek against it.
Huh? Is she going to kiss me?
“Wait, you flirty cat, what are you trying to do in front of me?”
Just as she was about to kiss me, Lian Bing grabbed her hat and picked her up. Due to the height difference, Xue Qing was grabbed by the scruff of her neck like a cat, her feet not touching the ground.
“I want a kiss.”
“You’re just Jun Cheng’s friend, right? Know your place, okay? Friend.”
“Jun Cheng, point to my finger.”
Xue Qing held up my little finger, which had been in both of Xue Qing’s mouths, with both hands and said very seriously,
“Little finger represents girlfriend.”
…There is such a saying… In Japan, raising your little finger seems to represent a girlfriend…
But I didn’t mean that… I just thought my little finger was the least useful finger. Well, perhaps only for picking my nose.
“Heh… It’s just a little finger, and you’re already so happy… Don’t you know that the little finger also represents a mistress or an affair?”
There seems to be such a saying too…
“My ring finger will also be mine.”
This statement from Xue Qing seemed to be unbearable for Lian Bing. Even from this distance, I could see a vein throbbing on Lian Bing’s forehead, and her aura turned orange.
The most magical thing was that even the magatama on her chest turned orange, nestled between her breasts, looking… suggestive.
…You’re getting more and more pushy, you emotionless person? I should have dealt with you using that guy earlier? Or should I deal with you now?”
“Try me.”
Xue Qing was not afraid at all. After initiating Oniification, she already possessed extraordinary strength, coupled with her outstanding talent. Even if Lian Bing had the strength to lift her with one hand, she probably couldn’t deal with her easily.
Lian Bing knew this too, and snorted, throwing the problem back to me.
“Jun Cheng? Tell her clearly, who exactly is your girlfriend?” “It’s me.”
“Shut up!”
SF Light Novel
“It’s me.”
“Heh, heh heh heh heh…”
Ugh, this is so troublesome! This is more troublesome than encountering a murderer!
Lian Bing pulled my right arm, trying to drag me to her side, while Xue Qing held my left wrist, refusing to budge. Wow, wait a minute, are they going to use me as a tug-of-war rope next?!
Don’t joke, my ribs are broken, if you really pull, I’ll die!
“Wait… Get away from Lord Jun Cheng!”
“Ah! Yu Hui!”
She’s awake already?
Yu Hui walked over unsteadily, clutching her chest. I took this opportunity to shake off Lian Bing and Xue Qing’s hands and rushed to catch her.
“Oh? Isn’t this junior Bai? Why are you interfering in our family affairs?”
“Hmph, stop talking nonsense. There’s no place for you ladies in Lord Jun Cheng’s home. Lord Jun Cheng has never been fond of you. You just want to satisfy your own ugly desires.”
Huh? Junior Bai? Miss Yu Hui?
“How dare a mere spirit-possessed person hold Lord Jun Cheng’s body, hand it over quickly!”
Why has it suddenly become so heated?
“No.”
“I say, Junior Bai, who are you to Jun Cheng? Aren’t you meddling too much?”
“I have a past life connection with Lord Jun Cheng, so in this life, I will be loyal to Lord Jun Cheng, stay by his side, and drive away you vixen, that is my mission.”
It’s not much different from what she told me before, a reincarnation childhood friend…
“Oh my, talking about past lives… loyalty… protection, it’s all just ‘settings,’ isn’t it? I didn’t expect Junior Bai to be such a hopeless delusional girl with an electric shock. Just go back to sleep and enjoy your sweet dreams. Why wake up? Can’t you distinguish between fantasy and reality? That’s truly pitiful, heh heh heh.” Wow, Lian Bing’s venomous tongue skill is activated… it’s really merciless…
“Same here.”
Xue Qing, you’re enough!
“Being possessed by a ghost is enough to prove how dark your hearts are. True kind and devout people would never be possessed or haunted by ghosts! Do you still deny this? You group of ghosts and spirits! Leave Lord Jun Cheng’s side immediately!”
“Heh, you really dare to say that.” OFmoxiaowan
“You, I hate it.”
Oh my god, the situation is out of control.
Taking advantage of the fact that the three of them were arguing fiercely, I should leave here quickly…
Moving slowly, my presence is already very low. As long as I don’t do anything attention-grabbing, I’ll definitely escape smoothly…
“Wait, Jun Cheng? Where are you going?”
“Lord Jun Cheng, your injuries are very serious, please do not leave my side.”
I’ve been discovered again.
I should find an excuse to get away with it. If I stay here any longer, I might not have enough lives.
“No, I, I was just going to… use the restroom…”
“You’re lying?” “Lying.” “Please don’t joke!”
What kind of situation is this again?
Ugh, my internal organs…
…The adrenaline has passed… The spiritual power that was supporting my body has also… All the pain that I selectively forgot came rushing back, making me feel like I was about to die.
Even if you don’t agree, I can’t hold on anymore.
It’s a miracle that I’ve lasted this long with these injuries.
My strength rapidly left me, and I felt my body sway, about to collapse. My eyelids were heavy, my eyeballs were dry, making it difficult for me to keep my eyes open.
“We’ll talk about everything else after I wake up…”
“Jun Cheng!” “Lord Jun Cheng.” “Lord Jun Cheng!”
The three of their calls came to my ears, and I lost my balance and fell.
In my heart, I felt a sense of relief.
So, falling unconscious is such a versatile thing…
But I can’t just faint whenever I want in the future, right?
If such a Shura Field happens again in the future, what should I do…
The future is truly bleak…
Sigh…
With various worries about the future, my consciousness vanished from my mind…
