Chapter 233 continuously challenges the worldview of pseudo-loli.
“It’s very safe here with us, you don’t need to be so afraid of them!” Bai Yuxiu comforted her. Actually, she could understand. When they were traveling around the world before, they had seen people who were bullied, such as bandits and other evil forces, and hostages who were kidnapped.
These victims, though now in a safe environment, suffer trauma that will take a lifetime to heal, and may never be healed.
Shiho Miyano was not only a victim of bullying in the organization, but also considered herself an accomplice. This double self-denial led her to approach the brewery not with revenge, but with atonement.
Even regarding Akemi Miyano's death, Shiho Miyano believed that she was implicated because of her.
She firmly believed that Sherry and the brewery should both go to hell!
This view is actually correct.
This is no joke. A mistake is a mistake. Whether it's a legal or moral issue, Shiho Miyano bears a responsibility, even if she was acting against her will.
But excessive self-blame is problematic.
After a round of comforting words, the effect was not good. Little Shiho was held in her older sister Akemi's arms, and her face still looked a little pale.
It's clear that the distillery really scared the kid!
Li Muyang stroked his chin and pondered for a long time without saying a word, until he saw that the little girl Shiho was completely unmoved by his words... Well, perhaps it was because Miyano Akemi was there that the girl's vulnerable side was fully revealed.
"Girl, are you interested in seeing the existence of another world?" Li Muyang asked slowly and meaningfully.
Before Shiho Miyano could speak, Akemi Miyano spoke up in surprise: "Huh? Didn't you say that Shiho couldn't leave this world for a while?"
The little girl, Shiho, looked at him with surprise. Li Muyang could only briefly explain what he had said before about "fate's arrangement," and the last sentence was: "If you believe, it exists; if you don't believe, it doesn't. You don't need to care, because it's useless to care."
Upon learning that she could not leave with Akemi Miyano to live in another world, Shiho Miyano was unsure whether she was depressed, disappointed, or perhaps forced to make a decision, and silently stopped reacting.
Li Muyang knew that saying these words now would only make it harder for Shiho Miyano to get out of her shadow. He sighed and continued the previous topic: "Sigh... I'm not trying to take you to our world, but to the hidden secrets of this world, to another circle that is not inhabited by ordinary people."
To make things easier for Shiho Miyano, we need to broaden her horizons and let her see a wider world!
Then she'll realize that what's a distillery compared to this? There are plenty of monsters and demons in this world!
As for whether it will create new shadows... Hmph, Li Muyang said that he also has things he is afraid of, but isn't he still living his life normally?
Upon hearing Li Muyang's words, Shiho Miyano also became curious: "What are you talking about...? Do you mean that demons and monsters really exist?"
Li Muyang's lips twitched, Miyano Akemi turned her head away somewhat awkwardly, and Bai Yuxiu and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.
Outside the window, in the fields, Tamamo-no-Mae was sitting on a swing reading a book, but her attention was all inside the house. When she heard Shiho Miyano's words, she just smiled speechlessly.
Demons and monsters?
Li Muyang's little world is full of these things!
The strange reactions from everyone left the little girl, Shiho, completely baffled.
"Ahem, tell me first, have you ever heard of me?" Li Muyang coughed lightly and pointed to himself as he asked.
Shiho Miyano pondered for a long time, then shook her head and nodded, saying, "I... I've seen you on the organization's special watch list, but it seems that the organization has designated you as someone not to be trifled with. I don't know why."
Li Muyang chuckled: "Hey, not bad! It's just that I killed the Yamata no Orochi in Shibuya before, and not long ago I sent a few old ghosts to hell with the satellite orbital cannon."
I'm so embarrassed to have pretended to do this so many times over such a trivial matter!
Shiho Miyano Σ┗(＠ロ＠；)┛: Huh!
Is this still the world I know?
Shiho Miyano must have heard about something as big as the Shibuya incident. She certainly wouldn't believe the official explanation. She'd rather believe that a military test subject escaped than that the material's natural gas pipeline exploded.
As for satellite railguns... Loli Shiho said that she seemed to have actually heard of that term in the organization!
Among those old ghosts were also high-ranking officials from the distillery, all of whom were sent away by Li Muyang. The distillery had made some moves, and Shiho Miyano knew a little about it, but she didn't connect the two things! After all, she was just a drug researcher.
Since things had come to this point, Li Muyang chuckled again: "Here's a gift for you, Mingmei, you explain it to your sister."
With that, a streak of light flew from his fingertip to Shiho's brow and merged into it.
A moment later, another figure flew out from beside the little girl Shiho.
Even after Miyano Akemi's explanation, little Shiho still looked incredulous: "I... became a psychic so easily? No side effects? No price to pay?"
"This was originally your ability, but most people would never awaken it in their lifetime. I merely used external force to help you awaken it; there were no other effects." Li Muyang patiently explained, spreading his hands. "Let me see what your ability is!"
Everyone cast curious glances their way.
The little girl, Shiho, tried it rather cautiously.
Well, Shiho's awakened Stand ability, simply put, is to control plants. She can control them to grow rapidly and can also create seeds out of thin air. However, the prerequisite is that she must analyze the seed herself. Most importantly, at present, she should only be able to create and control ordinary plants.
Another derivative ability is that she can use a substitute to hide in plants. In this state, she will become one with the plant. If the plant she is hiding in is destroyed, it will not harm her. However, she cannot enter special plants at present, such as the Bodhi tree, which is a divine spiritual root.
The rest remains to be developed, and there's also the factor that Shiho Miyano herself doesn't have that much energy and mental strength. Once her cultivation level increases, she definitely won't be too weak! The scope for the development of her ability is not small at all! It's not just like the First Generation!
"Little Hashirama!" Li Muyang exclaimed.
I never imagined that Shiho Miyano would be a natural-born Wood Release expert!
Both of these sisters are incredibly talented!
They're still young after all. Once they have superpowers, they throw their fear of the distillery to the back of their minds. Of course, it's probably only temporary, but it's a good start!
While introducing Shiho Miyano to her new abilities, she wandered around Li Muyang's little world, introducing the other beings in the little world. Under the girl's explanations that were enough to shatter her worldview, she encountered a group of "demons and monsters".
"You're the lord of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons from mythology?" Shiho Miyano wondered if she was still dreaming. But the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons greeting her were real!
Even if she couldn't recognize all the monsters, those few were so famous that even if Shiho Miyano was an otaku, it would be hard for her not to recognize them!
"To be precise, I'm the current one," Li Muyang emphasized. "I have nothing to do with the past Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
"Also, when I said I'd take you to broaden your horizons, it was because the principal of the Taoist school in this world sent me an invitation to participate in one of the most solemn Taoist rituals in the Dragon Kingdom's circle of extraordinary people in this world: the Luotian Grand Ritual at Longhu Mountain."
"The Great Ritual of Heaven?" The little girl Shiho looked blank; this was indeed the first time she had ever heard this term.
"Logically speaking, it should be considered a religious prayer ceremony, but it holds a very high position in Taoism. In reality, it is a platform for a group of extraordinary people to showcase their strength, exchange ideas, and hone their skills. Moreover, this Luo Tian Grand Ritual is quite special and will be full of fun," Li Muyang continued leisurely.
This successfully piqued the curiosity of little Shiho: "What's so special about it? What's so fun about it?"
Li Muyang chuckled and said, "This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is a grand event held by the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion to select the 66th Celestial Master, and it's open to all extraordinary individuals in the country! Regardless of who the winner is, they will become the next Celestial Master's successor! Theoretically, everyone can participate!"
"Of course, some guys who are considered heretics will definitely not participate unless they are looking for death or are very confident in their strength and are not worried about being targeted. Otherwise, they should be prepared to be exterminated. In the world of supernatural beings, it is very normal for a few people to die."
Shiho Miyano asked with some surprise, "Are you going to participate in this selection? Are you going to become a Celestial Master? Are you going to become a nun? I remember that the Celestial Master's Mansion on Mount Longhu in China requires one to become a nun, right?"
Recalling the beautiful women she had encountered along the way, Shiho Miyano was utterly shocked. "Are you out of your mind? Or have you accumulated too many romantic entanglements and want to run away? How can you face these girls?"
After all, his sister might be among them!
What? My sister has a boyfriend?
Tell him to get lost! Where was he when his sister was in trouble? He's not as reliable as a stranger! Even if this stranger knew his sister was talented!
Shuichi Akai, whose whereabouts are unknown: Achoo!
Li Muyang's gaze drifted to Shiho: "I have a feeling you're thinking about something very impolite."
"Ahem." The little girl Shiho coughed lightly, feeling guilty, and lowered her head.
Li Muyang didn't pay any attention and continued, "The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain is a Zhengyi sect and doesn't force people to become monks, including Celestial Masters! But who told you that I participated in this event to aim for the position of Celestial Master?"
Shiho Miyano was puzzled again: "You're not aiming for the position of Celestial Master, so why are you participating in this event?"
Li Muyang smiled and said, "Although it hasn't been announced yet, I... just consider this as me having calculated that there will be an extra reward at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony later, and that's what I'm aiming for!"
