Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1270: Chapter 717: Run Over by a Car Wheel

Li Tongyun’s words may fool other new knights, but not someone like Hu Xiaoniu or Zhang Tianzhen.

No matter how she spins it, Hu Xiaoniu believes Qing Chen wouldn’t let these two young girls leave Whale Island casually, given their age.

“You two are really daring,” Hu Xiaoniu lamented, “And you’re getting me into trouble. What if Master thinks I secretly brought you out? No way, I’ll call to explain right after we get off the plane.”

The “majestic” demeanor Li Tongyun had just exhibited vanished, replaced by a pitiful look: “Brother Xiao Niu, Xiao Zhenji is a knight too, she needs training. I’m not professional enough to coach her, so this is a good opportunity to learn with you during training. Brother Qing Chen has no time to teach her, and as her protector, I’m anxious.”

In fact, she spoke her true feelings.

A knight’s protector acts as coach, bodyguard, and confidant, all in one.

Now, all 99 new knights are on their growth journey. Jinguji Maki is their senior, and if all 99 knights complete the challenge in a year, her status will be very awkward…

Jinguji Maki might be confused, but Li Tongyun must consider for her.

Hu Xiaoniu looked at the mischievous Li Tongyun, knowing even if her pitiful look was fake, he could only relent: “But you must let Master know about this.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll call him after we land. Just don’t have the plane turn around,” Li Tongyun smiled.

“Alright, you two must be suffocating in the luggage compartment, are you hungry? I’ll ask the crew to prepare dinner for you,” Zhang Tianzhen said with a smile, “Chicken rice, beef rice, noodles, what do you want?”

“I’ll have a chicken rice, and for our little Zhenji, a beef rice. She likes beef, and do you have canned yellow peaches? She likes those too,” Li Tongyun said with a bright smile, “Brother Tianzhen is the best.”

Li Tongyun often tells everyone not to spoil Xiao Zhenji, but she remembers her preferences perfectly, keeping every detail in mind daily.

Zhang Tianzhen laughed, “We don’t have canned yellow peaches, but we have oranges.”

“Oranges will do too, she likes those as well.”

Hu Xiaoniu went to the cabin and fetched the cans.

Jinguji Maki’s eyes lit up at the canned food: “Awesome!”

Zhang Tianzhen: “???”

Hu Xiaoniu’s eyebrows shot up: “Xiao Tongyun, what on earth are you teaching her?!”

Zhang Tianzhen was amused and exasperated at the same time: “Xiao Tongyun, have you really been teaching her Chinese seriously?”

“Of course…,” Xiao Tongyun said sheepishly, “She learned this herself… yes, self-taught.”

The two little girls finished eating in the cabin when suddenly, in a small voice, Jinguji Maki said, “I feel… ever since I climbed that mountain, my body has been…”

“Hm? What are you trying to say, what about your body?” Li Tongyun asked curiously.

Xiao Zhenji thought for a moment: “A little… overwhelmed?”

Zhang Tianzhen quipped, “You’re teaching her quite a mix!”

“Uncomfortable?” Xiao Tongyun showed concern, “Where exactly does it feel uncomfortable? I didn’t hear from Brother Qing Chen that clearing a life-and-death challenge leaves aftereffects?”

“Stuffy,” Xiao Zhenji tapped her chest.

Then suddenly, the shikigami Red Leaf Hunter materialized from Jinguji Maki’s chest.

Everyone was startled, what was this?

Li Tongyun shouted, “Careful, this is the shikigami Brother Qing Chen transferred to her, somehow it broke free!”

Everyone braced themselves, and Chen Zhuoqu immediately grabbed a crowbar from the cabin, ready to swing it at Red Leaf Hunter.

But after appearing, Red Leaf Hunter didn’t harm anyone. Instead, it landed lightly in front of Jinguji Maki, performing a grand salute.

The next moment, the white Fire Fox and the eerie dual-faced Hannya floated out together!

The white little fox stood on flickering flames, which did not harm the cabin floor.

‘Hannya’ was like a celestial goddess, but her elegantly shaped body had two faces on her head, one of compassion and one of wrath.

Now, she too wore a compassionate expression, bowing with Red Leaf Hunter and Fire Fox.

The cabin fell silent, everyone was too shocked by the sudden event to speak.

As everyone gradually quieted down: “Jindai’s shikigami, but why are they kneeling before the senior sister?”

Li Tongyun asked softly, “Can you control them? Make them stand.”

Jinguji Maki nodded, and the three shikigami stood up.

Li Tongyun stared in amazement at Xiao Zhenji. It was known that a Jindai Consortium onmyoji needed to reach C-Class to summon a shikigami.

C-Class could summon one.

B-Class could summon three.

A-Class could summon six.

S-Class could summon twelve.

Jinguji Maki hadn’t undergone onmyoji training, and she’d just crossed a life-and-death threshold reaching F-Class, yet she summoned three shikigami that acknowledged her authority?!

So at E-Class, wouldn’t she summon six, at D-Class twelve, at C-Class twenty-four, and at B-Class…

If Xiao Zhenji reached a Demigod level, it truly would be a Hyakki Night Trip.

The ancient records weren’t lying, someone really could command a Hyakki Night Trip!

Can descendants of the Genji Family really do whatever they want?
