After explaining that she could navigate by using the vision of her spiritual rabbit, Wei Yang ultimately chose to follow Ah Li to her home in Huyin Town. Along the way, Yu Tu lay sprawled on the Somersault Cloud beside her, wearing a mischievous grin the entire time. Wei Yang really wanted to punch her.
Ah Li’s home was located beside the massive windmill in Huyin Town. Among all the buildings, it could be considered the most simple and elegant. It wasn’t large, but it was clean and pleasant to the eye.
Although they didn’t encounter many people on the way, every passerby respectfully bowed to Ah Li. Wei Yang felt like a bodyguard walking beside a celebrity.
As for the reason, it wasn’t hard to guess. Everyone addressed Ah Li as “Sister Ah Li.” She appeared to be the only red-robed nun in the town’s church and was deeply loved by the residents.
Thinking back to their first meeting at the hot springs—when Ah Li had been puzzled that there could be a fox enchantress who didn’t recognize her—it all made sense now. Every fox enchantress in this town was devoutly religious and frequently went to the church to pray.
“Darling, come in already. Why are you still standing outside?”
Ah Li had opened the door and invited Wei Yang inside. Although Wei Yang was still worried about her chastity, she had already come this far. Whatever happened next would be up to fate.
Worst case scenario, she could still use spells. Summoning a rain frog to rescue herself wasn’t completely impossible.
Once inside, Wei Yang was surprised to find that the house was pitch-black. All the windows and light-permeable areas seemed to have been deliberately covered. In this situation, even Tuotu—perched on her head—could barely see anything. Wei Yang almost thought she had entered a crime scene.
Ah Li closed the door and walked into the living room, clapping her hands lightly.
“Xiao Jin, I’m back.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a green-glowing beetle flew out from somewhere, releasing a holy light that instantly illuminated the entire space.
“Darling, sit here for a bit,” Ah Li said as she headed toward the bedroom, throwing a flirtatious glance over her shoulder. “I’ll go find that thing. If you need anything, just ask Xiao Jin—it can do almost anything.”
Ah Li entered the bedroom and shut the door behind her. The glowing beetle slowly descended, spinning as it floated, and finally landed between Tuotu’s rabbit ears.
Yu Tu stared at it with open disgust.
“So ugly.”
Wei Yang didn’t agree with that compliment.
“That counts as praise? This thing is beyond ugly. Even if I weren’t blind, I think my brain would disconnect the moment I saw it.”
“…Baby, you’re really sharp-tongued.”
Wei Yang picked up Tuotu and glanced around the layout of the house. There were many doors inside, most of them locked. It was hard not to wonder what was hidden behind them.
Just as she was about to ask Yu Tu, the bedroom door opened. Ah Li came out holding what she had been searching for.
Two cans of cola.
Wei Yang stared at her with her mouth hanging open.
“You went in there just to grab two sodas?”
“Darling, don’t rush. A sense of ritual is important.”
“Then what are you planning to—?”
“Watch closely~”
Ah Li handed one can to Wei Yang. She gently pulled open the tab on her own can, hooked her left index finger through the ring, and lightly drew the tab into her lipstick-coated lips—leaving only the ring exposed outside.
Wei Yang didn’t understand what she was doing and continued waiting.
Ah Li’s eyes never left Wei Yang. She raised three fingers on her right hand, then curled them down one by one.
Three.
Two.
One…
At the count of one, she slightly opened her mouth. Her hooked finger slowly withdrew from between her lips, and she playfully stuck out her tongue. Bending forward, she extended the tab toward Wei Yang and blew her a kiss.
“Please take a look.”
Wei Yang noticed that the front of the originally ordinary aluminum pull-tab had somehow been inlaid with a crystal-clear, pale blue gemstone.
She was genuinely shocked by the magical “trick.” She had no idea when the tab had been replaced with a ring. Meanwhile, Yu Tu wore an expression of sudden realization.
【So that’s how it was. She put the blue jade in her mouth back in the bedroom. Just now, she reshaped the can tab into a ring with magic, then used her tongue to push the Medusa Sapphire into place. Damn… that tongue is flexible. She’s totally showing off her tongue skills. Wei Yang, you’re really blessed~】
【Blessed my ass!】
Ah Li was clearly satisfied with Wei Yang’s dazed reaction.
“To commemorate our reunion, I’ll give this to you.”
She naturally took Wei Yang’s right hand and gently slid the ring onto her finger. The size fit perfectly.
“It suits you very well, darling.”
Wei Yang’s mind was in chaos. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but the smile on the girl in front of her made her dizzy.
Whatever. Thinking more won’t change anything.
What mattered was this—
After putting on the ring, she saw the colorful world again.
With restored skin tone and warmth, Ah Li and Yu Tu were reflected clearly in her brand-new jade-blue pupils. Then, she suddenly noticed something horrifying—
“Where are your clothes?! Ah Li, you too—why aren’t you wearing anything underneath?!”
The Medusa Sapphire possessed a penetrative vision property. Wei Yang, who had just regained her sight, had no idea how to turn off this passive ability.
Not to mention—
Before entering Huyin Town, Yu Tu had changed outfits again. Under x-ray vision, Wei Yang could clearly see through the layers. In her jade-blue pupils, clothing layers were still distinguishable—Yu Tu had two layers and was wearing proper covers.
But Ah Li was different.
She had nothing.
Only a single long dress layer.
Ah Li blinked, noticing that Wei Yang had used the word “you all.”
“You all? Besides me, is there someone else here?”
Wei Yang instantly realized she had misspoken. She absolutely could not expose Yu Tu’s existence.
“N-no! I meant… the beetle! Yes, Xiao Jin!”
The beetle spinning in the air let out a plop and fell to the ground, then shyly hid under the table.
Wei Yang was at her limit.
【Why are you getting shy?!】
Ah Li widened her eyes slightly, but ultimately accepted the explanation.
“Oh… I never thought you’d be interested in Xiao Jin’s body.”
“I’m not interested! And how do I turn off this x-ray vision?!”
Even with Ah Li teaching her hand-in-hand, she still couldn’t turn it off. Ah Li was confused as well.
“That’s strange, darling. Don’t you have magic power? By the way, where did the rabbit on your head go?”
Wei Yang understood what she meant.
Using magic, she should have been able to suppress the Medusa Sapphire’s x-ray vision and even actively activate its second ability—petrification.
But the problem was exactly there.
Wei Yang’s sorcery was spirit-medium based. Once her vision was restored, she could no longer sense or use magic.
So—
The x-ray vision couldn’t be turned off at all!
At the same time, Yu Tu continued to fan the flames.
“Baby, it’s time to accept the quest~ The target is a little girl. You pervert actually want to see her naked~”
Wei Yang really, really wanted to punch Yu Tu.
