I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

The blue light cut through the darkness like a meteor, as if a stream of clear water dropped from the sky, enveloping the originally chaotic black fog.

In the interweaving of light and darkness, the black fog is no longer single-dimensional and deep, but becomes clearly layered, like a carefully carved gem, emitting charming brilliance.

At this moment, a slight fluctuation began to appear in the center of the black fog, as if the eggshell was shaking when nurturing new life. The fluctuation became more and more intense, until finally, as if torn apart by an invisible force, the surface of the black fog suddenly shattered and bloomed.

In the shattered black fog, a graceful figure slowly emerged, like a beautiful woman in a painting waking up from a deep sleep.

“Who is this…” Xinghan felt his heart almost skipped a beat.

She was dressed in a gorgeous red and black dress, like a painting of raging fire and dark night, breathtakingly beautiful.

The long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, sparkling with a dark luster.

His eyes are deep and bright, as if they can see through people's hearts.

She exudes a mysterious and charming temperament that makes people fall for her involuntarily.

The entire cave seemed to tremble at this moment, as if cheering for the newly born free soul.

"Roar, I'm finally free." said the woman calmly.

"Is this... Black Baby?" Xinghan felt that his naming skills were a bit poor...

In the interweaving of light and shadow, the woman's voice became even softer.

Her figure became more and more graceful, and her smile was like the rising sun, warm and bright.

"Don't keep calling me Black Baby, I'm Qing Ji."

Xinghan realized that this would be the most shocking appearance for him so far. He would never forget that from the thick darkness, a red and black figure slowly emerged, as if born from endless nothingness.

That is Onmyoji's shikigami - Kiyohime.

It is an indispensable part in many versions.

Once in a warehouse, neglected, it has now become a popular shikigami.

It is one of the must-practice shikigami.

"Yes! I recognized you, but... you are so beautiful in person..."

Xinghan looked at her, his eyes full of surprise and admiration, as if he had seen the most beautiful scenery in the world.

She wore a red crown on her head, the beautiful flowers complemented her face and made her look even more charming. Her hair was adorned with delicate hair accessories.

At this moment, Qingji was sitting on a green snake, revealing her long legs.

Under Xinghan's gaze, her shyness subsided.

The snake's body was twisted into an S shape, with its head facing left, as if it was vigilantly observing its surroundings.

Qingji held a thin stick in her hand, like a smoking pipe, with some pendants hanging on one end of the stick, as if it was her only connection with the world.

As the black fog gradually dissipated, Qingji's figure gradually became clearer. She slowly raised her head and smiled at Xinghan, "You are Mr. Qingming, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Qingji."

"Hehe, I... am... not?" Xinghan's voice was a little hoarse, and he nodded slightly as a return gesture.

To be honest, Mr. Zhao's appearance is slightly inferior to this Shikigami.

It should be said that their beauty is not the same.

Qingji's beauty is pure amidst her enchantment, and within her purity there is a sense of yandereness.

The persistence is so daunting, yet one cannot ignore the breathtaking beauty.

"I will definitely save money to buy you new clothes! The classic skins are absolutely..."

Although he knew nothing about the origin of the soul jade, Xinghan now deeply realized the extraordinary significance of preparing a gorgeous skin for his beloved shikigami. This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a cherishment of each other's feelings.

"Are you willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me and protect this world together?" Qingji's voice was soft but firm, as if she was making a sacred oath to Xinghan.

"I do." Xinghan's answer was concise and powerful, without any hesitation.

"Then, are you willing to make an eternal vow in the name of the stars?" Qingji continued to ask, her eyes flashing with expectation and trust.

Xinghan took a deep breath, looked at Qingji with a firm gaze, and solemnly swore: "I, Xinghan, swear by the power of the stars to protect you until the stars fall and the years end. You will also fight for me, and we will face the wind and rain together and guard the light together."

At this moment, a distant but familiar voice sounded in Xinghan's ears:

"The stars are our witness, our oath is eternal. I use the galaxy as my pen to draw our covenant of protection. May the stars guide us, and we will walk together on the road ahead, never leaving each other, until the end of the sky."

A blue light of contract slowly condensed between them.

Like the trajectory of stars, it was deeply imprinted on the wrists of the two.

As the contract was completed, the blue mark between Qingji's eyebrows began to glow, and the light gradually spread.

Finally it merged into her body, as if it were the imprint of her soul, eternal and profound.

"Okay." Qingji nodded gently, tears sparkling in her eyes, revealing deep gratitude and emotion, "I am no longer just a shikigami named Qingji. My lord, can you give me a name that belongs to me alone?"

Oh? Give a name! Xinghan's mind moved, and he realized that he should indeed give this unique and affectionate shikigami a unique title.

He looked up at the black mist swirling in the air. They were dancing lightly in the cave, like fluttering butterflies in the underworld. Xinghan made a decision between the two alternative names, "Youming Qingji" and "Diegui Qingji".

He smiled slightly, and said in a soft but firm tone: "Diegui, Qingji, from now on, your name will be 'Diegui Qingji'."

“The butterfly returns… the returning old friend is as light and beautiful as a butterfly.”

Qingji repeated the name softly, with a gleam of joy in her eyes. Although the smile did not reach her eyes, Xinghan always felt that he could taste a hint of sweetness, but Qingji gave him a feeling of more empty persistence.

She looked up at the stars and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, sir, for granting me a new identity. I will cherish this name as much as I cherish the bond between us."

As the words fell, a new blue mark condensed in Qingji's eyes.

It was a symbol of her new identity and also a testimony to the deep friendship between her and Xinghan.

The whole person's temperament underwent a subtle change at this moment, as if it had undergone a transformation, radiating a more dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, Die Guiqingji gently closed her eyes, and in an instant, the air around her seemed to freeze.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes, with a determined light flashing in them. The earth-shaking change made Xinghan subconsciously stop.

Qingji's body began to rise slowly, and the black fog around her suddenly became thicker.

In an instant, Qingji's body turned into a faint blue afterimage and flew lightly in the air.

"Let me tell you the pain of love!" Qingji's voice was distant and trembling.

Immediately afterwards, thick black fog surged in from all directions, quickly filling the entire space within sight.

"Die Gui... No, Qing Ji, what are you doing?" Xing Han's voice was stuck in his throat...
