Chapter 167: Chapter 158. It Turns Out to Be a Big Shot All Along (Achieved 8000 Words!)

Intuition told Beichuan Si that the matter Qianye Yuki wanted to discuss with him was probably not a simple one. To prevent Beichuan Huili from continuing to take an interest in supernatural stories, Beichuan Si directly sent Beichuan Huili off to look at paintings.

After all, cultivating one’s emotions was indeed better than dealing with ghosts every day.

He even had a bold guess at the moment.

Could it be possible that Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang, these sisters, were like him, and could see where Spiritual Bodies resided?

If that was truly the case, then these sisters were natural-born possessors of abilities.

From time to time, Beichuan Si cast glances toward Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang in front of him.

He subconsciously used the power of death.

Enshrouded by the chill of death, Beichuan Si saw the current state of the two young women in front of him.

Faint black streams of energy continuously spilled out from Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang.

Yes, unlike Master Yutian’s benevolent golden energy streams, a faint black energy constantly seeped out from Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang.

This energy flow gave Beichuan Si a sensation similar to his own death energy, but to some extent, the energy of the other party was not yet entirely transformed into death energy.

Yet, it was strikingly similar in nature. If it wasn’t for the fact that Beichuan Si’s basic death energy perception had been elevated by the Soul Summoning Flower, he probably wouldn’t have been able to discern the nature of the other party’s black streams so easily.

Among the two sisters, Qianye Yuki, the elder, had a denser black energy around her.

It didn’t take long before the three of them reached the reception room.

After Beichuan Si sat down, Qianye Yuki opened her mouth hesitantly, "Actually, Cang has told me about what happened on the Shinkansen. I apologize for Cang’s rudeness towards Mr. Beichuan, and I hope you don’t mind."

She took off her painter’s cap, her face showing full apology.

Next to Qianye Yuki, Qianye Cang’s face twitched slightly, as she also bowed deeply to Beichuan Si:

After looking at her for a while, Beichuan Si finally said, "It’s all in the past."

Seeing Beichuan Si accept their apologies, Qianye Yuki put on her painter’s cap again, her sparkling eyes gleaming, emitting a light black stream of energy. She looked at Beichuan Si and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Beichuan has encountered many strange incidents recently?"

Uh—

The other party’s way of asking made Beichuan Si involuntarily blink.

Isn’t this the line he always used on others?

Qian Xia Chiyuki, Shen Gu Mirai, Magong Tong...

Beichuan Si remembered always starting conversations with this line.

And why couldn’t the other party, who used a pale black energy flow, detect the death energy on him?

Was it possible that the power level of this energy was lower than death energy?

Otherwise, there shouldn’t be such a situation.

As he pondered, Qianye Yuki added, "To be honest, my sister Qianye Cang and I can see certain things invisible to ordinary people due to some reasons—perhaps Mr. Beichuan might find that hard to believe, right?"

"..." Beichuan Si.

This increasingly familiar line made Beichuan Si involuntarily glance at Qianye Yuki; he felt that she had already said everything he was about to say.

It was almost indistinguishable from what he would say when exorcising grudges or vengeful spirits.

After a while, the increasingly bemused Beichuan Si finally looked up and said, "What exactly does Miss Ying want to say?"

Could it be that what followed would include offering to perform an exorcism for me?

"If Mr. Beichuan believes, my sister and I might be able to help you."

Really now?

The problem was, I didn’t need your help.

"..." Beichuan Si was somewhat at a loss for words.

What was this? A beautiful female painter moonlighting as an exorcist?

But Beichuan Si then thought that his situation was similar to hers, being a high school student who also moonlighted doing work related to supernatural phenomena—

Was this a case of encountering a fellow professional?

"No need."

"But why not! If Mr. Beichuan is haunted by vengeful spirits, you might—"

There was a touch of urgency on the beautiful face of Qianye Yuki.

She, through her abilities, could see that Beichuan Si was entwined with various grudges, a look truly reserved for those fraught with great misfortunes.

Yet she was also puzzled.

With such a colossal grudge hanging over him, why did Beichuan Si still look so composed?

Given Beichuan Si’s condition, even if he did not come across vengeful spirits, they should be actively seeking him out. Why then did he seem like an ordinary person? Seeing his healthy complexion and listening to his strong voice, he didn’t look like someone who had long been plagued by vengeful spirits.

Her sister Qianye Cang had previously mentioned that Beichuan Si was surrounded by a spirit-possessed aura, and upon her own observation, she confirmed it was true.

Qianye Yuki was equally perplexed.

Surely, those vengeful spirits hadn’t all been torn apart by Mr. Beichuan himself?

She kept these doubts to herself for the moment and then asked, "Mr. Beichuan, what do you think of my paintings?"

"Quite good," Beichuan Si thought for a moment before replying.

Qianye Yuki’s paintings were truly remarkable, with delicate compositions so much so that even Beichuan Si, who was not well-versed in art, found them appealing.

Qianye Yuki, looking at Beichuan Si, continued to speak, "Human imagination is all based on cognition as its foundation. Whether it’s gods, Spiritual Bodies, or Hell, it’s because one has cognitive knowledge of this series of things in their brain that they can imagine and draw them. Mr. Beichuan, do the vengeful spirits I’ve painted match your knowledge of a vengeful spirit’s image?"

Beichuan Si nodded, "You’ve captured it very closely."

Beichuan Si had seen vengeful spirits before and naturally could tell that the vengeful spirits in Qianye Yuki’s paintings were very close to reality.

Although what Qianye Yuki drew were ordinary vengeful spirits, it was sufficient.
