Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"Does Your Excellency intend to kill me, or are you attracted to my frail appearance?" Yan Yanluo asked fearlessly, instead taking the initiative to approach.

Bai Lin sat down imposingly on the futon in the middle of the room, slamming the jade-handled dragon ornament onto the table. He growled in a low voice, "Don't try anything funny with me. Just answer my questions. If it weren't for Zhuan Yu's pleading, I could have taken your head in three moves!"

Yan Yanluo was taken aback. She saw Zhuan Yu transform into a little raccoon and dart onto Bai Lin's shoulder, saying helplessly, "Lord Bai's magic is boundless, sister, please don't do anything!"

Seeing that Zhuan Yu had been taken in as a shikigami by Bai Lin, Yan Yanluo and Shi Fa Gui were both shocked. Yan Yanluo, like a deflated balloon, lazily sat down opposite Bai Lin and called Shi Fa Gui and the little girl to her side.

Bai Lin then got a clear look at the Hair-Eating Demon's appearance. His long, silky hair, like Dove chocolate, framed a rather delicate and slender young man's face. Like Yan Yanluo, he didn't seem to have any evil aura, so it was clear that he didn't live by eating people.

The girl was probably only twelve or thirteen years old, but she was already wearing makeup and looked very mature. Considering that this was Lishui Garden, Bai Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Song Quan told me that the hair-eating demon ate the hair of the two young ladies of the Xiaosong family, causing them to commit suicide out of shame and indignation. Is that right?" Bai Lin said coldly. As long as it was confirmed, Bai Lin would not hesitate to kill the hair-eating demon, firstly to uphold justice, and secondly to repay Song Quan for his help.

The hair-eating demon's expression was complex; his eyes reddened, and he collapsed onto the table, sobbing. The girl's eyes also reddened, and she forced back her tears, urgently saying, "It has nothing to do with Maki! It was the Komatsu family head who sent people to strangle Keiko and Eiko-neechan!"

Bai Lin was stunned, completely baffled by her answer. The head of the Xiao Song family sent someone to strangle his daughter who was about to be married? What kind of operation is this?

Yanyanluo gently patted the hair-eating demon and the girl on the back to calm them down, then said to Bai Lin, "The Xiaosong family is one of the three great merchants of Kyoto, specializing in brothels and entertainment venues. Do you know what that means, sir?" She winked at Bai Lin. Bai Lin rolled his eyes at her in return.

"Huizi and Yingzhi came from poor families and were sold to the Komatsu family by their parents. They entered the geisha house and were chosen by Fujiwara no Renpei," Yanyanluo continued. Seeing Bai Lin's blank expression, she explained, "The geisha house was a place where the Komatsu family trained geisha and then presented the trained girls to powerful officials. Fujiwara no Renpei was a high-ranking official of the fifth rank."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lin suddenly realized that the two dead girls were not Xiao Song's daughters at all. They were merely adopted by Xiao Song to be presented to high-ranking officials as concubines, and this was just a formality.

"Miss Huizi and Miss Yingzhi would rather die than marry that fat pig! So they let me eat their hair, so that fat pig wouldn't like them... But who knew, who knew..." the hair-eating demon choked out.

"How naive! How could the Komatsu family dare to offend the Fujiwara family? Of course, they would just let the two young ladies die and let the Fujiwara fat pig choose other girls! Your arrival will only harm other girls again!" Bai Lin sighed.

The girl burst into tears. Bai Lin guessed that she was the one who was going to be married off. She cried, "Even if I'm willing to marry him, it's a dead end. Several of my older sisters were sent to the Fujiwara mansion before, and I heard that they were beaten to death by the eldest wife in less than a month!"

Bai Lin was stunned. In this era, the status of commoners was even lower than that of dogs! A murderous intent gradually rose in his heart. He thought to himself that no matter whether it was meaningful or not, he must wipe out the Komatsu family and the Fujiwara Renhei family before leaving this fragment of history!

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Bai Lin, Yan Yanluo immediately tensed up, her jade-like hand gripping the brass pipe tightly, her eyes slightly narrowed as she asked, "Is my lord still going to attack us?"

Bai Lin waved his hand, sheathed his sword, and said, "This isn't directed at you." He glanced at the jade pendant on his shoulder, stood up, and said, "Leave Kyoto as soon as possible. I can hold them off for now, but the Demon Slayer Corps will come sooner or later. If Song Quan arrives, you're all doomed!"

Upon hearing Song Quan's name, both Yan Yanluo and the Hair-Eating Ghost were clearly somewhat frightened, but the Hair-Eating Ghost blurted out, "But Jing is the next Fallen Moon..."

"Support!" Yanyanlu shouted sharply, and the hair-eating demon quickly covered its mouth, its eyes filled with even greater fear.

Bai Lin extended his right hand, and a purple flame ignited in his palm. This was the materialized chaotic elemental energy; no matter what spell Yan Yanluo used, Bai Lin was confident he could break it directly. He coldly said, "Oh? Is there anything else interesting you haven't told me?"

Yan Yanluo gritted her teeth, flicked her pipe, and a large cloud of smoke emerged from the mouthpiece. It turned out to be a smoke-shaped monster that lunged at Bai Lin with bared fangs and claws.

With a loud bang, the flames in Bai Lin's hand suddenly burst open and pierced straight into the monster's body.

"Cloud Demon, entangle him!" Yanyanluo shouted.

"A mere trick!" How could Bai Lin take a small demon beast seriously? Wherever his fists and feet went, the large swaths of smoke were all broken down by the chaotic power, and could not hinder him in any way.

Bai Lin turned his head and saw that the hair-eating ghost's hair grew longer in the wind, like the silk spun by a giant silkworm, enveloping Yan Yanluo and the other two.

Bai Lin leaped forward and threw a punch. The purple flames instantly burned a large hole in the large cocoon made of black hair. However, there was no Yan Yanluo or the hair-eating ghost inside the cocoon. Only the poor girl seemed to be dizzy from the smoke, lying half-reclined in the large cocoon made of black hair.

"WTF! I've been tricked by those two little monsters!" Bai Lin cursed. Yan Yanluo was nowhere to be seen in the room; she must have escaped using a teleportation spell.

However, he still felt some pity for the poor girl in front of him, and letting her stay here was tantamount to watching her die.

Bai Lin sighed, used his levitation spell to lift her up, and swaggered down the small building.

Despite the magnitude of the incident, the madam, the guards, and the onlookers remained. When they saw Bai Lin leading the girl downstairs, everyone cheered, as if they had witnessed Bai Lin slaying demons and rescuing an innocent girl.

Bai Lin waved to the commoners and said to the madam, "I've driven away the monster. This woman is possessed by an evil spirit. I need to take her back to the Yin-Yang Bureau to perform an exorcism ritual. Is that alright?"

Although the madam's gaze was complex, she still shook her head vigorously, indicating that she had no objection. Bai Lin smiled coldly. In fact, he was fully capable of pointing at the madam and saying that she was also a demon in disguise, and then cutting her down with a sword, guaranteeing that no one would say a word against it.

The madam herself knew perfectly well what was going on, so how could she dare to stop him? Even if the manager of the Komatsu family asked, and the madam said that the Onmyōryō had taken him away, the Komatsu family would not dare to go to the shrine to ask for him back.
