I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Must be!

This black fog could also be a female shikigami, or a shy boy.

I don’t know what happened to me that I suddenly became like this.

"I think that no matter who you are with, you are always the person that person trusts the most. No matter what difficulties that person encounters, you will help without hesitation. This is a very valuable character."

As Xinghan's praises continued, the black fog began to slowly calm down.

"If you are by my side, you will not only be my assistant, but also my friend and partner."

Xinghan continued to praise, "What's important is not me, but your inner feelings. No matter who you obey or depend on, your happiness is the most important thing."

It seemed moved by Xinghan's words and began to re-examine Xinghan, perhaps reflecting on the relationship between her and the strange man.

"Great!" Xinghan breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the voice from his original owner.

An angry and unfamiliar male voice roared:

"Where did you come from, you wild boy? You're still chattering away! Shut up!"

"You useless shikigami!"

"Useless things! One or two, they all deserve to die!"

"You dare to disobey my orders, what a bunch of rubbish!"

"Without SSR and SP, you are useless!"

"What's the point of me raising you? You just eat the black eggs in vain!"

"If you have a six-star conversion ticket, I will restore you all to two stars!"

……

When the curse of the original owner pierced the air like a sharp blade, the originally calm black fog began to violently churn as if it were a wildfire that was instantly ignited.

It was like an enraged beast, struggling frantically in the darkness.

Every strand of it twisted madly until it broke free of the invisible shackles and transformed into a giant snake.

The snake-shaped black fog twisted and coiled, and its huge body was entangled around the stone walls of the cave.

The scales shimmered with a dim light, as if coming from an unknown, dark place.

It is so majestic that it seems to be about to break through the boundaries of the world at any time.

Xinghan's brows were tightly knitted together. He knew very well that the situation had reached a critical point where no time could be lost.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his tone, trying to calm the angry black fog with a softer yet firmer voice.

Maybe it would work? After the fight with Black Mist just now, Xinghan basically came to the conclusion that this guy was a simple-minded guy.

His hatred for the black fog had been reduced to the lowest level, and his mood had improved after regaining his physical strength, so Xinghan decided to be kind.

"Black baby, stop it."

Xinghan's voice is like a spring breeze, bringing warmth and strength.

"You are not useless. Your power is so strong that it can shake the whole world."

"A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. You should choose me instead of this master who looks down on you." Xinghan's voice was full of firmness and confidence. He looked directly at the black fog, as if he could see through its soul.

However, at this moment, the original owner's curse sounded again, piercing the silence of the cave like a sharp blade:

"You wild boy, you shameless bastard! How dare you seduce my Shikigami and try to steal my power! Who do you think you are? I subjugated this black mist. Do you think you can control this black mist? It will only obey my orders, and mine alone!"

The original owner's voice was filled with anger and contempt, and every word was like a sharp arrow shooting into Xinghan's heart.

However, Xinghan remained unmoved. He still maintained a gentle expression and continued to speak to Heiwu:

"Hei Baobao, look, this is your master. He is so rude and he can't even talk properly. It's really a headache. He only treats you with curses and threats and never really cares about your feelings. I really feel that you are not worthy. You made a mistake. Such a good Shikigami should never be useful. Choose me, and I will respect you, guide you, and let you exert your true power."

After hearing this, the black fog, which had originally eased slightly, became agitated again.

It seemed to be angered by the curse of its original owner. The black mist began to churn violently and turned into a huge snake again.

This time, its momentum was even more powerful, as if it was going to swallow up all obstacles standing in its way.

Xinghan felt that the time had come, so he immediately added fuel to the fire:

"Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Onmyoji and shikigami have a contractual relationship, which is no different from being friends. It's better not to have a friend as overbearing and tyrannical as your master!"

"Black baby, you need to be guided correctly and find your own stage."

He gently stretched out his hand, as if stroking a wounded beast, and his palm slowly moved through the air, as if he could feel the vibration of the black fog.

The black fog was circling in the air, and just as it was about to move towards Xinghan, the voice of its original owner rang out sharply again.

"You traitor!"

The original owner roared, trying to control the black mist again with threats.

However, the Black Mist seemed to no longer obey his orders.

It hovered in the air, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Xinghan was delighted when he saw this.

He knew that he had successfully touched Black Mist's heart.

He said to Black Mist again:

"Black baby, choose me, I will make you feel truly respected and valued. Let's work together to create our own future."

As Xinghan finished speaking, the black mist finally made its choice.

It slowly flew towards the stars.

Xinghan's eyes were filled with tenderness and determination. He continued:

"That's right. You don't need to pursue those empty SSRs and SPs, because you are the most special existence. Your value does not lie in the definition of others, but in your own heart."

Following Xinghan's words, the originally violent black fog snake completely calmed down.

The huge snake's head drooped, as if admitting its mistake.

The snake's body also gradually shrank, and its scales no longer flickered, but returned to a calm black mist state.

Getting closer to the stars little by little.

Xinghan had the illusion that the black fog seemed to be shy...

He gently stretched out his hand again in the direction of the black fog, and the black fog gradually approached his fingers.

At first, Xinghan's heart was filled with tension and worry. He was afraid that this violent black fog would hurt him.

But gradually, he found that the coldness and sharpness of the black fog disappeared completely, as if it was listening to his words.

The original owner's voice gradually became smaller, and the curses became unclear, like snoring in the throat.

"It seems that the ban is gradually being lifted."

Xinghan pondered, not realizing he was a little distracted.

At this moment, a small wisp of black mist suddenly broke away from the snake shape and floated gently towards Xinghan's fingers.

It wrapped around his fingertips like a curious child exploring a new world.

Xinghan was slightly startled, came to his senses, and was about to be surprised, but then he felt the tenderness and closeness of the black mist.

He smiled gently, a warm feeling welling up in his heart, and moved his fingers to show his affection.

After circling three times, the black mist stuck to Xinghan's fingers, as warm as jade.

"It seems you like me too, Black Baby."

Xinghan said softly, stroking the black mist gently as if he was talking to a small pet.

With Xinghan's comfort, the black mist became more and more docile, and color gradually appeared around the mist.

Finally, it gently flew away from Xinghan's fingers and merged back into the snake-shaped black mist.

The entire snake-shaped black fog also completely calmed down at this moment. It slowly shrank and quietly floated in the air.

“Hei Baobao, you are unique, and your strength is unmatched.” Xinghan’s voice was full of encouragement and expectation, “As long as you are willing, you can become the most dazzling existence in this world.”

"..." The black mist twisted slightly.

"Stay with me." Xinghan promised solemnly.

As his voice fell, the originally restless black fog suddenly quieted down, as if it felt Xinghan's sincerity and determination.

At this moment, a blue light suddenly fell from the sky, like a soft waterfall, illuminating the entire cave like a dream.

This glimmer of light penetrated the black fog, repelled the silver light that originally enveloped the surroundings, and brought a breath of fresh air.
