This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame
Chapter 168 - 158. It Turns Out to Be a Big Shot All Along (Achieved 8000 Words!)_2

"I’ve seen those things, so that’s why—uh."

Qianye Yuki tried to continue persuading but suddenly turned pale, as if she were recalling something from a long time ago, and the light in her intelligent eyes quickly dimmed.

She actually started to retch.

"Sister!" It was clear that Qianye Cang wasn’t dealing with this situation for the first time, as she quickly took out a vomit bag from behind the wheelchair, opened it, and put it into Qianye Yuki’s hands, while the other hand gently patted her back.

Her face was filled with concern.

And it was while looking at Qianye Yuki’s pale, delicate face that Beichuan Si realized.

It turned out that the person he had been speaking with was a delicate girl in a wheelchair.

To be honest, because Qianye Yuki had just exhibited such strength and intelligence, Beichuan Si had subconsciously overlooked the fact that she was physically disabled.

She was undoubtedly a unique girl.

It was always easy to overlook her physical disability during a conversation with her.

"Miss Ying, are you okay?" Beichuan Si asked.

"It’s not a big deal." Qianye Yuki nodded, took several deep breaths, and her complexion slowly recovered.

She waved her hand at Qianye Cang to indicate that she was fine and then looked at Beichuan Si again, "Mr. Beichuan, you might not believe me now, but I really can see the anomalies on you."

Qianye Yuki glanced at Qianye Cang, nodded at her, and then began to speak slowly, "Twelve years ago, Cang and I, along with our parents, drove to the countryside for a picnic... then there was a massive traffic accident; my sister and I survived because of our mother’s desperate protection."

Qianye Cang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes,

"It was then that my legs were injured, and to this day, I’ve never been able to stand up on my own again."

It was an undeniably brutal and bloody scene.

The corpses of their parents, the pungent smell of blood and decay, the pain all over their bodies... these were things that Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang couldn’t forget.

"It was also at that time that we started seeing things that normal people couldn’t see."

Qianye Yuki touched around her eyes.

Death had been so close to her, and when she escaped from the brink of death, she found that she was already different from ordinary people.

This inexplicable sense of disorientation and the feeling of not fitting in with her classmates made Qianye Yuki’s elementary school life extremely difficult.

Seeing Spiritual Bodies.

Who would believe such a thing if she told them?

The shapes of Spiritual Bodies varied, but they were undoubtedly terrifying, their frightening appearances made Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang’s bodies tremble.

The line between life and death was so thin in their world, as if you could reach out and touch another world with just a hand.

At that time, it was the Tsukishima family that took them in temporarily.

And during the process of being fostered, as her sister Qianye Cang attended school, Qianye Yuki, with her mobility issues, had to find a new emotional support.

That was painting.

Drawing the world as she saw it.

Drawing the line between life and death.

What else existed in that far, far away place, hidden from the world?

The things drawn by Qianye Cang were neither portraits nor landscapes but the images from her heart.

That was all.

With age, Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang moved out on their own from the Tsukishima family, but they still visited the Tsukishima family that had fostered them every year.

"Uncle Tsukishima’s kindness is something Cang and I are still unable to repay, but at least we still make annual deposits to Uncle Tsukishima’s bank card... it’s just that he returns it every time," said Qianye Yuki with a bitter smile, "And it’s because of good people like Lisha, Uncle Tsukishima, and Aunt Tsukishima that Cang and I were able to survive."

"I think, since this ability to see through the line between life and death exists in Cang and me, Uncle Tsukishima would certainly want us to use it to help others."

The disdain from their relatives, tossed around like bowling balls, ultimately led to their being taken in by the Tsukishima family.

Eventually, the world is still full of good people...

"I see."

After hearing the narratives of Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang, Beichuan Si finally understood why the former possessed such strange abilities.

It turned out she had been exposed to death since childhood and had adapted to it, and from that, she developed an ability similar to that of the aura of death.

The world is indeed full of wonders.

"I and Cang sincerely want to help you, Mr. Beichuan, so we hope you will tell us if you still keep that doll. Perhaps it’s the doll that has brought you such viciousness."

"..." Beichuan Si.

If Kelian, the little one, heard this, she would probably immediately jump onto Qianye Yuki’s head in anger.

However, the other party was just showing concern, and there was no need for such a standoffish attitude.

Besides, Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang had revealed almost all their secrets in an effort to make him believe them. Beichuan Si felt it wouldn’t be right to keep hiding things from them.

He pondered for a moment before speaking bluntly:

"It’s not Kelian’s fault, Miss Ying. Please rest assured."

"Kelian?" Qianye Cang and Qianye Yuki were a bit slow to react.

"That’s the doll you have been talking about. She is now a member of my family, not the vicious Spiritual Body you mentioned. Don’t worry."

Beichuan Si explained.

"Mr. Beichuan... are you saying you’ve managed to communicate with the Spiritual Body?" Qianye Cang said incredulously.

She had never accomplished such a feat.

After all, good spirits were extremely rare, and most Spiritual Bodies were tinged with obsession to some extent. When that obsession burst forth, it would turn into resentment.

Qianye Yuki had tried to communicate, but to no avail.

So she had no choice but to use the dark aura on her and her sister Qianye Cang’s bodies to dispel all those vengeful spirits.

It was also fortunate that they had never encountered any cruel, vicious, and strong vengeful spirits; otherwise, Beichuan Si didn’t think the dark aura on them could resolve those spirits.

Seeing the disbelief on Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang’s faces, Beichuan Si didn’t think much further and simply spread his palms in front of the two.

Within them, a mass of black airflow was slowly swirling.

"What is this—?" Qianye Yuki’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Beichuan Si.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees as soon as this black airflow appeared.

And upon closer inspection, this black airflow seemed similar to what she and Qianye Cang had.

But she felt there was something off about it.

However, Qianye Yuki couldn’t quite pinpoint exactly what was different.

"I call this kind of airflow ’Death Qi.’"

Beichuan Si explained straightforwardly.

"...Death Qi..." Qianye Cang mumbled the term, her black pupils filled with astonishment.

Beichuan Si only showed the Death Qi, but he wasn’t eager to let them know about the Death Qi merged with the residing fire.

Beichuan Si withdrew his hand and said, "It seems we possess nearly identical abilities."

He had already learned about the ’Death Qi’ on Qianye Cang and Qianye Yuki.

The Death Qi on Qianye Cang and Qianye Yuki felt more like an incomplete version.

It had a light and floating sensation, not solid like his.

"...Is it really so?" Qianye Yuki couldn’t help but take another look at Beichuan Si.

The black airflow in Beichuan Si’s hands was clearly more aggressive, the dreadful flow far more substantial than their ’Death Qi.’

"Like us..." Qianye Cang was clearly not used to this sort of thing, her eyes a bit vacant.

She, like her sister, also sensed the extraordinariness of the Death Qi in Beichuan Si’s hands.

They had thought he required their help, but it turned out Beichuan Si was a powerful figure in his own right, who didn’t need their assistance at all.

But what Beichuan Si said next turned their worldview upside down, as if they had seen a ghost.

Beichuan Si asked with a stern tone:

"If Miss Ying doesn’t mind, I can take a look at your feet for you."

Take a look at her feet?

Could Death Qi possibly have healing effects?

After helping so many people, this was the first time they had encountered someone like Beichuan Si.

Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang were left speechless, unable to utter a word.
