Yin Yang Demon Suppression
Soon, the dishes were served, and the flavors were quite authentic, comparable to what I had in Sichuan.
While eating and chatting, Ye Mingshang also mentioned preparing to attend Nanjing Medical University.
"Really! Brother Ye is coming to our school?" Lin Qianqian clapped her hands in excitement.
"That's great! With Brother Ye around, we won't have to be afraid of ghosts anymore," the doll-faced girl also clapped happily.
Additionally, there were four girls in Lin Qianqian's dormitory. Besides her, there was Ya, who had previously attempted suicide, the doll-faced Yuan Yuan, and a very shy girl named Mo Mo.
The meal was enjoyable, and throughout, the girls kept asking Ye Mingshang to share his Exorcism stories. Although Ye Mingshang's storytelling wasn't as thrilling as the books, it was real. Whenever he recounted particularly dangerous moments, the girls couldn't help but feel anxious for him. When they learned that Ye Mingshang was an orphan, they looked at him with sympathy. However, when they inquired about the orphanage, Ye Mingshang brushed it off and didn't want to elaborate, so they didn't press further.
The meal lasted a long time; they kept asking Ye Mingshang to tell stories until many dishes had cooled down and needed reheating. After finishing their meal, Yuan Yuan suggested going to karaoke since it was still early, and everyone agreed.
"Excuse me, could you spare some change?" Just after leaving the restaurant, a homeless man reeking of foul odor approached them with a broken ceramic bowl.
The arrival of this homeless man made several of them uncomfortable. Seeing that he was young yet not working and resorting to begging made them look down on him. However, to avoid trouble, Lin Qianqian took out some money to give him.
The homeless man thanked her and reached out to take it but was stopped by Ye Mingshang.
"I'll handle this," Ye Mingshang said with a glint in his eye and a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.
"This... thank you, sir." Strangely enough, Ye Mingshang gave more money than Lin Qianqian had intended, but the homeless man seemed somewhat displeased.
The girls sensed something was off and thought that the homeless man might have some peculiar habits, sending a chill down their spines.
After they walked away, the homeless man watched their retreating figures with a hint of resentment in his eyes. However, thinking about having received more money made him happy as he picked it up to look at it.
"This! This is actually all Yin Coins..." The homeless man was startled and sat down on the ground, exclaiming as he rolled and crawled away.
The others didn't pay much attention to this incident; only Ye Mingshang couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at, Brother Ye?" Lin Qianqian asked.
"Nothing," Ye Mingshang shook his head.
He had never been to a place like this. He preferred quiet environments and usually stayed in the mountains as long as he didn't lack money.
In contrast to Ye Mingshang's lack of interest, the girls were quite happy. Each of them grabbed the microphone and wouldn't let go.
"Hey, stop fighting over it. Brother Ye hasn't sung yet; let him sing a song," suggested Ya.
"Yes, yes! Brother Ye, sing one!" Yuan Yuan chimed in cheerfully.
"But I can't," Ye Mingshang replied helplessly. He hardly listened to music because he disliked strange lyrics and noisy melodies. He often listened to guqin music, but it wasn't like he could play a piece here without an instrument.
"No way! Brother Ye, don't lie to me just because I haven't read much," the girls clearly didn't believe him.
In the end, unable to refuse them, Ye Mingshang sang a song in an ancient style. Surprisingly, his voice suited this kind of music very well, and throughout the performance, the girls looked at him with starry eyes.
When the song ended, the girls applauded enthusiastically. "Brother Ye, you're lying! You clearly can't sing yet you did so well."
Well, in truth, Ye Mingshang's voice was good due to his cultivation practice that allowed for smooth breathing. He often listened to music and had a decent grasp of melodies. If it were a modern song, he definitely wouldn't have sung as well.
They didn't stay out too late and returned before the school locked its doors. In no time, only Ye Mingshang was left alone. Walking down the desolate street, his solitary figure appeared so forlorn.
A person wandered aimlessly until he arrived at a park. This park was a favorite spot for couples, but it was surprisingly quiet. Ye Mingshang did not sense any human presence; instead, he caught a hint of demonic energy.
"Dear viewers, next I will take you to experience the haunted park," a young man in his early twenties approached, holding a smartphone.
"It is rumored that every full moon night, a Cat Demon appears in this park. Tonight is indeed a full moon, so let’s wait and see."
Well, it turned out to be a paranormal livestreamer. Not interested in watching him perform, Ye Mingshang turned to leave.
"There’s a figure ahead. Given the timing and the environment, this person is likely not human. Let’s go take a look."
As the young man spoke, discussions began in the livestream chat.
"Are we going to see a ghost?"
"What ghost? Can you even see ghosts? I think it's a Zombie."
"Ah, what if he suddenly turns around?"
...
Ye Mingshang naturally could not see the comments in the livestream chat, but he heard the young man's words. What? I'm not human?
Ignoring him with a dark expression, Ye Mingshang continued on his way.
"Hey, friend up ahead, please hold on." Seeing that Ye Mingshang ignored him, the young man caught up and continued, "It's quite late for someone to be here alone; you must be unusual."
"Golden Fire Flourishes, Jiao Lian Yuan Shen. Internal Protection Form, External Demon Spirit. Urgent Order!" As Ye Mingshang ignored him again, this fellow actually threw out a Fire Bell Spell that flickered with flames and hit Ye Mingshang's back.
"Nima, where did this weirdo come from!" Ye Mingshang was so angry that he was trembling and was about to turn around.
"This Evil Spirit has powerful magic... I'm afraid I can't handle it, so I'll retreat for now!" Before he finished speaking, the young man ran away.
"Damn it!" Ye Mingshang couldn't help but curse.
However, in the young man's livestream, a wave of discussion erupted.
"Did you see that? The master really knows Dao Fa."
"Yeah, that move was so cool."
"But that Evil Spirit is so strong. The master's talismans couldn't even hurt it."
"Could it be the Millennium Old Demon in the city?"
"Who are you guys talking about? Hurry up and take them away."
...
Encountering this weirdo really left Ye Mingshang both amused and exasperated. Seeing him use the Fire Bell Spell, he should be someone from the Daoist path; although it lacked power, he should still be a Sage. He didn't know where he learned Dao Fa; he just picked up a bit and came out to cause trouble. If he casually encounters an Evil Spirit, this Fellow would definitely kneel.
"Help!"
Great, here comes trouble. With a scream, a figure dashed out—wasn't it that brainless guy from earlier?
The young man stopped not far in front of Ye Mingshang, his face pale.
"That's it, with the Cat Demon chasing from behind and the Zombie blocking in front. Is my future master, Joan, going to die here?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingshang's face darkened. Damn it. How do I look like a Zombie?
"Roar!!!" A roar that sounded like a cat's cry came from behind, as a fat cat the size of a leopard rushed over, glaring fiercely at Joan.
"Golden Fire Flourishes, Jiao Lian Yuan Shen. Internal Protection Form, External Demon Spirit. Urgent Order!" In a moment of desperation, Joan cast another Fire Bell Spell, but the small flames barely harmed the Cat Demon, only singeing a bit of its fur. This provoked another furious roar as it lunged at Joan. Upon closer inspection, it had several charred spots on its body; no wonder it was so angry. Even a local would find this unbearable.
However, despite disliking this brainless creature, Ye Mingshang couldn't just stand by and watch as it killed him.
"Golden Fire Flourishes, Jiao Lian Yuan Shen. Internal Protection Form, External Demon Spirit. Urgent Order!" The same Fire Bell Spell used by Ye Mingshang had a vastly different effect.
The Cat Demon that was about to pounce on Joan suddenly sensed danger and quickly dodged to the side. Just then, an Inferno ball came flying in. Even just a glancing hit was enough to cause it considerable pain.
"Roar!!!" The Cat Demon roared at Ye Mingshang, as if warning him not to meddle.
"Although this guy is annoying, I can't let you kill him. How about he apologizes and admits his mistake? We can let this go," Ye Mingshang said calmly.
However, the Cat Demon clearly wouldn't agree. With a loud roar, several normal-sized Cat Demons emerged from the surrounding bushes.
At the command of the Old Cat Demon, dozens of Cat Demons charged at Ye Mingshang.
Realizing the trouble he was in, Ye Mingshang quickly drew a talisman and shouted, "Golden Fire Flourishes, Jiao Lian Yuan Shen. Internal Protection Form, External Demon Spirit. Urgent Order!" This time he didn't throw the talisman away but stuck it onto himself.
As the Cat Demons closed in, flames swirled around Ye Mingshang like a fiery vortex, turning the charging Cat Demons into ashes upon contact.
Meanwhile, Joan sat frozen in shock, staring blankly at the scene. His phone hung around his neck just in time to capture Ye Mingshang's battle with the Cat Demon. The live stream exploded with excitement.
"I can't believe this guy, is he filming a movie?"
"It's a fantasy tale! The visuals are incredible."
"This is what a master looks like! So powerful, I need to become his disciple."
"Upstairs +1."
"Who just called themselves a master of Evil Spirit? Step forward!"
······
The Fire Bell Spell wiped out seven or eight Cat Demons, truly shocking Joan and the others. However, the Cat Demons became even angrier, causing the rest to charge in more frantically.
After casting the Fire Bell Spell, there was a brief moment of vulnerability. Taking advantage of this, several Cat Demons pounced at Ye Mingshang from various tricky angles.
With no time to chant a spell, he could only dodge. Just as he steadied himself and prepared to cast a spell, several Cat Demons rushed in to interrupt his incantation. For a moment, Ye Mingshang found himself on the defensive.
The Old Cat Demon stood back, not engaging in the fight, but instead howling commands for its minions to attack.
