Ye Ran looked sideways at the girl.
He discovered she was wearing a pure white princess dress, with a fluffy skirt adorned with lace edges resembling cloud patterns.
A miniature hat was perched on her head, secured with a white ribbon that circled her delicate chin, tied into a cute bow.
The girl was petite and exquisite.
Her slender and perfectly proportioned legs were encased in pure white, sheer tights, making her appear quite adorable and refined.
“Hmph, (#`O), don’t you believe me?”
Noticing the boy’s questioning gaze, Yan Yong Qin Zi pouted her small lips in displeasure.
“I’m telling you, as a modern-day Miko, they listen to me.”
“If it weren’t for the current resurgence of the strange and mysterious, confusing the minds of the yokai, why would I have the heart to let Yuki-onna handle that clumsy ox, sigh.”
The white-dressed Lolita’s voice turned melancholic.
“They trust me, I absolutely cannot betray their expectations.”
“Even at the cost of losing an eye and a leg?”
Ye Ran looked at the girl’s right, white-silk-clad leg.
Unfortunately, it was a prosthetic.
The real Yan Yong Qin Zi could only stand on one leg.
And one of her eyes had forever lost its sight.
This was the price she paid for becoming the “Yokai Princess.”
“That’s right.”
Yan Yong Qin Zi firmly nodded her small head, her bright purple eyes clear like a lake surface, reflecting the myriad stars in the night sky.
“Since I was eleven, I have never regretted this decision.”
“Princess…”
The two Yuki-onna behind her, seeing the small, lonely Lolita, couldn’t help but reveal expressions of admiration and pity.
This determination and resolve, truly worthy of the Yokai Princess chosen by all the yokai.
‘Alright, enough with the sentimental stuff, back to the matter at hand… Xue Nai Shen Dong, you fled the Yokai Clan without permission and settled in the human world, even though you helped Yuki-onna deal with the bull demon, you still have to be punished.’
When it came to serious matters.
Yan Yong Qin Zi also regained her serious expression.
“Yokai should not interfere with the human world easily, this is a rule established a thousand years ago. You even brought cursed objects with you when you escaped the clan, settling in the human world, you have already violated the deepest taboo.”
“Answer me, do you admit your wrongdoing willingly?”
“I… Princess, this humble one has no complaints and willingly accepts punishment.”
The gorgeous Yuki-onna named Xue Nai Shen Dong, upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes revealed sorrow, her eye sockets filled with sparkling teardrops.
Since the day she escaped, she knew that she might face capture by the Princess and the other yokai.
But it was too late to regret it now.
She must accept punishment to atone for her sins.
“Alright, I will execute you here.”
Looking at the woman with a sorrowful expression, the white-dressed Lolita’s eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, but she still hardened her heart, walking step by step towards Xue Nai Shen Dong who knelt on the ground.
“Wait, isn’t there any way to save her?”
Ye Ran stopped Yan Yong Qin Zi.
This rule was too harsh.
Why would they demand someone’s life so easily?
“Hehe, I knew you’d want to save her.”
“Tell me, are you lusting after Xue Nai’s body~~”
A mischievous chuckle came from behind, causing the boy to fall into a state of bewilderment.
“?”
Ye Ran was completely baffled.
Looking at this scheming Lolita who changed her face faster than a flip of a book.
This rascal was waiting for him to speak.
“Hehe.” Yan Yong Qin Zi crossed her arms and a cunning smile appeared on her snowy, delicate face, “Although the rules cannot be broken, but it’s a modern society now, there are still compromises.”
“Ye Ran, as long as you take the curse magic ring, accept Xue Nai, and let her be your servant, she won’t have to die.”
“Master, please save Xue Nai.”
As soon as these words were spoken.
Not only did the alluring and charming Xue Nai Shen Dong cast a hopeful gaze upon him.
Even the black-haired, long-haired Yuki-onna in an ancient kimono behind him, tearfully bowed to him and pleaded.
“This…,”
“Alright, since you all say so.”
Ye Ran sighed helplessly.
He accepted the red-eyed magic ring offered by Yan Yong Qin Zi’s snow-white hand.
Who would have thought that because of his curiosity, he went out and ended up taking a beautiful yokai maid…
And at the moment the young man put on the magic ring, Xue Nai Shen Dong instantly turned into a hazy white cloud, directly flying into the ring.
【Congratulations, Host, for your first time receiving a special-level cursed object - (Cursed Magic Ring), 5 holy crystals awarded.】
【Special-Level Cursed Object】: Cursed Magic Ring
【Effect】: When this spirit exists within this cursed object, she can be summoned out of the ring, allowing her to independently engage in combat.
If removed, the host will suffer the side effect of having their life force drained.
Note: Due to the Yuki-onna – “Xue Nai Shen Dong”, voluntarily becoming the spirit of the ring, this ring’s special abilities will automatically transform.
The host must regularly satisfy the spirit’s physiological needs, otherwise the spirit will automatically disappear.
【Spirit】: Yuki-onna
【Ability】: Possesses the power to manipulate wind and snow, freeze all things.
….
“Very good, this way, your guilt will be erased.”
“I declare that Xue Nai Shen Dong no longer belongs to the Yokai Clan, she has become Ye Ran’s personal servant.”
The purpose of this trip was successfully achieved.
Yan Yong Qin Zi was overjoyed, she clasped her hands behind her back and walked in circles around him, laughing happily.
“From now on, Xue Nai’s well-being is entrusted to you, Ye Ran.”
“Hey, what does ‘satisfy physiological needs’ mean?”
Ye Ran looked at the spirit’s contract, speechless.
“It means exactly what it says.”
The white-dressed Lolita mischievously blinked her watery, big eyes.
She scanned him from head to toe with a playful look, lingering on his crotch for a long time, deliberately using a cute, Lolita-like tone, “Big brother, aren’t you going to be able to manage?”
“Whether I can manage or not, do you want to try it yourself?”
Dare to tease me?
Ye Ran was amused.
He walked straight up to her and cornered the white-dressed Lolita with a wall-dong.
Almost forgot, in the original “Imaginary Reasoning”, this one was the famous Driving King, veteran driver! !
“Eh, too close…!! ”
Unexpectedly, he would do this so suddenly.
Yan Yong Qin Zi, whose mouth always moved faster than her actions, immediately panicked, her moist, purple pupils reflected the handsome figure of the young man, her delicate white face instantly turned crimson.
‘You chose this, idol.’
“Hmph, hmph, now you dare not be reckless.”
Looking at the cute Lolita who shyly lowered her head and dared not look at him, the young man couldn’t help but hum a triumphant tune.
You said I can’t manage?
I’ll prove it to you right now.
“Heehee~~”
However, just when he felt smug, Yan Yong Qin Zi, who had lowered her small head, suddenly giggled, lifted her delicate, palm-sized face, shyly cupped her face with both hands, “Ye Ran-kun, you wall-donged me, but you have to take responsibility, you know.”
“Ah?”
Now it was Ye Ran’s turn to be dumbfounded.
This wasn’t a joke… Qin Zi, why are you being serious?
It’s over now, I’ve been entangled by a female thug.
….
When Ye Ran returned to Tou Su Zhen Dong’s home, the beautiful and elegant female teacher had already awakened.
“Ye-kun, can you tell me what’s going on?”
That supernatural red-eyed magic ring that could fly, was actually the culprit behind her long illness…
After listening to the young man’s explanation, Tou Su Zhen Dong fell into deep confusion.
As a modern person who believes in scientific theory, her worldview was shattered overnight, it would definitely take time to calm down.
“That’s how it is, Zhen Dong teacher, this world is no longer what it used to be.”
Ye Ran solemnly admonished.
….
ps: Qin Zi is super cute, she’s the type who falls in love at first sight and then relentlessly pursues her target.
