Chapter 17: The Ever-Changing Demon

"Please don't stand in my uncle's face."

In the still time, Mingxue found that he could move, so he turned his head to look at the old gentleman, or the devil, who was walking towards him.

"I thought you would be shocked that your uncle is a demon, but you weren't. I'm really disappointed."

The devil tore off his disguise in the still time and turned into a lively and cute high school girl.

Mingxue closed her eyes slightly, "If it's my uncle, I'll accept him too."

"Sister Mingxue is so cute, but her personality is so cold. What a strong contrast." The high school girl who turned into a devil asked with a smile.

"Please don't beat around the bush." ​​Ming Xue replied coldly.

The devil female high school student tilted her head to think for a moment, and then turned into a young, handsome man in a suit.

"So, young lady, what do you need?" The devil bowed respectfully to Mingxue.

"I heard a legend that the devil would distort the deal. What do you think I should say to make a fair deal?" Ming Xue opened her eyes again. "Also, I'm a boy. I'm sure you've heard it all."

The devil replied with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I will never play tricks in the transaction, and the whole world has come to a standstill, I guarantee that the transaction will not be disturbed."

Mingxue waved her hand, and nine magic weapons appeared on the other side, four magic weapons appeared, and now they are in his hand.

The devil's smiling face suddenly froze.

"It seems that your ability to pause time has a range. At least the range should not extend outside the school." Although Ming Xue looked tired, her sea-blue eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.

It seems that Hanyu Hazuki and the others have reached the outside of the school safely.

"We don't hate smart contractors, but overly ruthless clients will affect our cooperation." The devil changed again, from a young and handsome man in a suit to a cute little boy, but the droopy-eyed crow on the other's shoulder remained unchanged.

"I can still shoot one more arrow. I don't mind being Miss Miko's...mother." Mingxue lied expressionlessly.

The little devil boy showed a pitiful expression and said, "Sister Mingxue, don't be so fierce. Let's trade fairly this time?"

"Give me a way to defeat Meiko." Mingxue raised the Higan and aimed it at the demon.

"Method? Does Sister Mingxue have such a small appetite?" the little boy asked with his mouth puffed up.

Mingxue gently plucked the bowstring.

The little boy demon was so scared that he turned into a cute little girl with twin ponytails and waved his hands, "Sister Mingxue, calm down. Can't I give you a solution?"

"What is the price? Or what do you need?" Ming Xue did not rush to agree, but continued to ask.

Hearing this, the twin-tailed loli demon's expression changed from fear to flattery, "If that's the case, then..."

"Let me handle this transaction. You can step aside for now, Alvan. I want to talk to this... young god."

The eyeless crow standing next to the devil's shoulder spoke, and the voice was the tone of the old woman that Mingxue had heard in the bedroom last time.

"Are you the demon in my uncle's body?" Mingxue put down Bi'an.

"Didn't you see me at the beginning, young god?" The droopy-eyed crow spread its wings and flew in front of Ming Xue and teased.

Young God?

Mentioned again, Mingxue silently noted the word, but did not ask the question, but continued: "I don't really recommend changing people halfway."

"Irfan can't do what you ask." The crow with hanging eyes circled around Mingxue, "But I can."

In the distance, Alvan curled his lips, opened the box, took out a piece of parchment from it, and then placed it respectfully on the ground. He closed the box, turned around, and immersed himself in the crowd of zombies until he disappeared.

"Then let's start the transaction." Ming Xue no longer held on and collapsed on the ground.

Faced with a powerful existence, he simply stopped pretending.

"Although you are newly born, you are a divine species after all. I will not set a trap for you, or give you anything flashy." The droopy-eyed crow turned to Ming Xue's front.

Mingxue remained silent.

"Humans rely on spiritual tools to exorcise demons, but gods don't, because they themselves evolved from spiritual tools." The drooping-eyed crow continued, "So there are no side effects when gods use spiritual tools, but the price of the contract with the spiritual tools must be observed."

In other words, if I don't shoot an arrow, I will be in trouble? (Side effect)

But there is still pain like menstruation? (Contract price)

Tsk!

"Thank you for your explanation, but please get back to the transaction." Ming Xue felt his eyelids heavy and he could hardly hold on any longer.

“Isn’t this a display of sincerity?”

A white light flashed, and the droopy-eyed crow disappeared, replaced by a thin middle-aged man wearing a neat suit, glasses, a buzz cut, and an ordinary appearance.

"Drink your own blood, get familiar with the spirit in your body, and let the spirit blend with your flesh and blood. Then you will be able to withstand the side effects of the other side." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Mingxue, "And I want... half of your hearing."

"Hearing?" Mingxue felt strange, but the method given by the other party made him even more confused.

"You can try it first. If you are satisfied, we can sign the contract. How about that?" The middle-aged man bent down and picked up the parchment on the ground.

"What's your name?" Ming Xue looked up at the other person.

"Mephisto." The middle-aged man bowed slightly.

"The devil in the book 'Faust'?" Ming Xue raised her left arm.

"You are truly a man of many talents and learnings." Mephisto whistled and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

Ming Xue slightly opened her pink lips and bit her slender white arms with her cute silver teeth.

"Do you need my help?" Mephisto asked politely.

Mingxue glared at Mephisto.

"Well, that's cute." Mephisto said this but took a half step back.

Mingxue retracted her gaze and bit down with gritted her teeth.

When the blood went down his throat, Ming Xue initially thought that the demon Mephisto was deceiving him because it tasted nothing but salty. But when he gave up drinking the blood, an indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout his body from head to toe. All the fatigue and pain disappeared, and his whole body was filled with energy.

But this situation did not last long. A sharp pain came like lightning, causing Ming Xue, who had just recovered, to fall to the ground and tremble.

"Wine and bread, rice wine and rice, sake and pickles."

At the same time, Mephisto recited and the corresponding food appeared in his mouth like magic.

The six things that appeared fell in front of Ming Xue one by one.

Mephisto whispered: "Which system of gods are you from?"

Mingxue, who was in pain, had no time to answer the other party. The bow of the other shore in his hand was also trembling because of its owner.

Wow!

In the still time, it seemed as if something invisible burned the sake and pickles.

"Oh~ It seems that he is indeed from Japan." Mephisto leisurely took off his glasses and wiped them.

Wow!

The wine and bread were burned in an instant.

"Huh?" Mephisto was stunned and stopped wiping his hands.

Wow!

This time, it was the rice wine and rice that burned instantly.

"Hey, this is serious." Mephisto put on his glasses again, two conflicting emotions of excitement and fear occupying his face.

Chapter 18: The Gentleness in My Heart

When Mingxue felt the pain disappear, a piece of parchment was handed to him.

"Thanks to you, I feel much better, except for the pain just now." He stood up by supporting himself on the ground and looked at Mephisto who was smiling opposite him.

"If you are satisfied, please sign." Mephisto handed the parchment to Ming Xue very respectfully.

Ming Xue also very respectfully raised the Hierarchical Bow and aimed it at Mephisto's forehead. "If you are satisfied, can you please leave? I am afraid I will miss the target."

Mephisto took back the parchment with a smile, "Sir, this is different from what we agreed on."

"Thanks to you, I feel like I can shoot a few arrows now." Ming Xue smiled, tilting her head.

"Sir, I think some of your friends outside may need protection." Mephisto rubbed his hands together.

"Are you threatening me?" Ming Xue still kept smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in her sea-blue eyes.

"What I value is not this transaction itself, but future transactions. As the saying goes, steady streams lead to long-term success." Mephisto spread his hands. "Besides, if we fight, won't the evil spirits nearby benefit?"

Mingxue turned her head to look at Meiko. Meiko, who had been still, was now moving slowly, as if she was about to break through the still time in the next second.

Obviously, this great power of standing still in time is not what we imagined, but has many flaws.

Mingxue withdrew her gaze from Meiko and turned to look at Mephisto, who smiled back.

The situation might turn into me fighting one against two, which is definitely disadvantageous, even though I am in surprisingly good shape now.

Even I may not be a match for this demon.

Mingxue thought for a while and then put down the bow.

"A wise choice." Mephisto said again in that exaggerated tone.

"I approve of this deal, but not the deal based on parchment." Ming Xue tidied his hair. He was still a little uncomfortable with long hair.

"Oh?" Mephisto crossed his arms.

"I can let you take away half of my hearing, but I don't want to sign." Ming Xue combed her hair and then looked at Mephisto with a serious expression.

"Good suggestion." Mephisto clapped his hands.

"Before completing the transaction, I would like to ask you not to... disturb my uncle, otherwise we will have nothing to talk about." Ming Xue stared at the parchment in Mephisto's hand.

"No problem." Mephisto shrugged, then flames ignited in his hands and burned the parchment.

Mingxue slowly closed her eyes.

"I didn't expect that you would care about an ordinary person. From a spiritual point of view, you have nothing to do with each other." Mephisto took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.

"Can you please hurry up?" Ming Xue answered the question irrelevantly.

"Got it, sir." Mephisto stretched out his hands and covered Mingxue's cute ears very gentlemanly.

Mingxue only felt a slight discomfort in his ears. After the feeling disappeared, he opened his eyes.

"Then the deal is done." Mephisto bowed to Mingxue.

The sound that could be heard had indeed become weaker, but there was nothing unusual. If he really was playing some tricks, I wouldn't mind shooting him with an arrow on the spot.

Mingxue touched her ears, then turned and walked towards Meizi.

"Sir, I can help you deal with this ghost. Someone is already outside to take care of it. It's a good time to go out now." Mephisto moved his ears.

"You have to do what you promised. I'll give her a ride." Ming Xue continued walking forward without looking back.

Mephisto looked up in surprise.

Sensing movement behind her, Mingxue stopped, turned around and asked, "What? Are you still not leaving? Or are you unable to leave during the still time?"

"Of course not, I am just amazed at your mercy and kindness towards ghosts." Mephisto straightened up.

Mingxue turned around and continued to rush forward.

"Before I leave, let me say something to you, Your Excellency." Mephisto took off his white gloves. "In this world, being gentle and kind is harmful to yourself."

Mingxue continued forward, stopped in front of Meiko, raised the Higanbō bow in his hand, and aimed it at the latter's forehead.

Mephisto shook his head slightly and snapped his fingers.

The still time in the school began to flow, and Mephisto disappeared, leaving behind only the horrifying group of corpses, Mingxue and Meiko.

"...It seems that your deal with the devil is complete." Meiko was stunned for a while, then came to her senses and looked at Mingxue who was close at hand, "I am the only one who feels a little unwilling, since we didn't fight much."

Wow!

Flames in the shape of red spider lilies appeared around Higanbana Gong and Mingxue.

Miko looked at the red spider lily-shaped flame and fell into a brief trance.

"Any last words?"
