After dealing with the evil spirit group, Beichuan Si gained 5 skill points, but that was all.

Evil spirit groups are not vengeful spirits after all, they are merely formed by human malevolence, so having 5 skill points is actually pretty good.

As for the soul fire...?

Beichuan Si shook his head.

Life really should have its regrets.

How could the malevolence of humans, which doesn't even count as a 'vengeful spirit', possibly have something like soul fire?

This time, it was mostly about training Shen Gu Mirai's practical skills and letting her confront the strange.

But since he didn't obtain any soul fire, Beichuan Si naturally couldn't enhance his death qi healing skill again.

The issue with Nakajima Michika was only half-addressed.

"But thinking about that now is useless."

Beichuan Si could only guarantee that he would do his best to upgrade death qi healing, but if he really couldn't resolve the matter... then he could only rely on the doctor performing Nakajima Michika's surgery.

"But before that... I should still try my best."

Beichuan Si muttered.

The date for Nakajima Michika's surgery hadn't been set yet. It seemed that Nakajima Hiroto had got the news and planned to spend a lot of money to hire some experts and medical bigwigs to help research Nakajima Michika's condition.

Coincidentally, during one of the check-ups, Nakajima Michika's face was also captured.

This drove some entertainment media completely crazy.

Half a year had passed, and Nakajima Michika, who was thought to have vanished completely, suddenly appeared in Tokyo Hospital.

What exactly happened to Nakajima Michika?

Why was she in the hospital?

This sensational news momentarily dominated social networks on SNS, LINE, and individual Twitter accounts.

Even though she hadn't been active in the entertainment industry for half a year, Nakajima Michika, as a contemporary pop diva, had not lost her popularity at all.

Compared to those fleeting idols… let alone half a year, if they disappeared for a month, they would basically sink into oblivion.

Even Nakajima Michika, lying in the hospital, still used a teasing tone on the phone with Beichuan Si, saying, 'Oh dear, I really am a woman loved by thousands.'

There was no anxiety in her voice; she must have prepared psychologically well in advance.

After all, the hospital is a public space. Even if she could avoid attention on the first day, it would be hard to do so on the second or third day.

Beichuan Si pulled his thoughts from his memories and looked towards Shen Gu Mirai as she walked toward him.

She was panting heavily, her back completely drenched in sweat.

It was partly due to being frightened by the evil spirit's eerie way of attacking.

Another reason was that Shen Gu Mirai still couldn't manipulate her powers as precisely as Beichuan Si.

Too much exertion of positive thoughts led to her physically lagging behind, naturally resulting in profuse sweating.

"That was really close... there were several times I thought I was going to die," Shen Gu Mirai said with a frightened look as she patted her chest.

She couldn't believe Beichuan Si had always been engaging in deadly battles with such things.

Those life-threatening attacks emanating from various dark corners, the foul smell that could knock someone unconscious, the ominous forebodings pressing on the heart...

Only those who directly faced these entities could feel these.

If it weren't for Nishijou Kurenai stepping on her head to help watch over... her Voodoo Doll would probably have activated its death-substituting function long ago.

And thinking about Beichuan Si often grappling with such terrifyingly strange beings...

Shen Gu Mirai couldn't suppress the feeling of pride rising in her heart.

Look! Look!

This is my boyfriend.

Beichuan Si glanced at Shen Gu Mirai and said calmly, "Everyone has their first time; it's normal to be inexperienced. For a beginner, your performance was not bad."

His voice was smooth, as if comforting Shen Gu Mirai.

This made Shen Gu Mirai smile, and she instinctively stretched out her hand, wanting to hug Beichuan Si.

Then—

"But you still have many issues," Beichuan Si said, pointing out, "Your reaction speed is not fast enough, and your coordination with Kurenai isn't very smooth..."

He pointed out many of Shen Gu Mirai's issues directly.

This made Shen Gu Mirai, who had originally wanted to hug him, blush and stomp her foot forcefully:

"Mr. Temple!!! Even if it's a lie, shouldn't you compliment a girl at times like this?... This is the delicate heart of a girl, right? I've already tried so, so hard!"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Beichuan Si's expressionless face, pulling it back and forth.

Hearing Shen Gu Mirai's words, Beichuan Si's eyes flickered, and he turned his face, saying in an offhand manner, "Hmm. Well done."

"Mr. Temple!!!"

Hearing Beichuan Si's perfunctory tone, Shen Gu Mirai choked on her breath even more, her hands getting forceful.

Feeling the pressure on his face, Beichuan Si frowned and turned his head:

"I already complimented you."

"I don't need that kind of compliment!!!"

Shen Gu Mirai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Mr. Temple is great in every way! It's just his straightforwardness that is not good!

Hearing Shen Gu Mirai's words, Beichuan Si didn't bother to linger on this topic anymore. He casually took Shen Gu Mirai's pale, delicate hand in his and then asked:

"Rather than this, I'm more concerned about the issue with your and Kurenai's fighting methods."

"Fighting...?" Shen Gu Mirai blinked.

She recalled the recent battle and didn't notice anything amiss, so she said uncertainly, "There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
