"Yes!"
Yotsuya Miko walked over to Xia Wei. Xia Wei snapped his fingers, pointing to the other side of the table, and two stools appeared out of thin air with a 'poof'.
Yotsuya Miko was already used to it. It was common sense that God could conjure things out of thin air, wasn't it? She sat upright with her hands on her knees. Yulia also quickly imitated Yotsuya Miko, sitting very properly.
Xia Wei lightly tapped the table with his finger, and two glasses of juice appeared on the table. This juice was made from fruits of the Celestial Realm.
He casually took the juice that the Little Angels had just finished making. The little angel who was making the juice was now full of questions because of the vanished juice.
The fruits of the Celestial Realm are rich in powerful life essence, which has an extremely strong appeal to beings in the Lower Realm.
Yotsuya Miko and Yulia's noses twitched, their attention instantly drawn to the juice in front of them.
'It smells so good, it must taste delicious,' Yotsuya Miko thought.
'Is it for me to drink?' Yulia couldn't help but swallow, her mouth already parched after following Si Gu Qian Bei from school and experiencing such an exciting event. She glanced with small eyes at the gentle-looking God.
"This is juice pressed from fruits of the Celestial Realm. It can probably enhance your physique and increase your Curse Power," Xia Wei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Upper God," Yotsuya Miko held the cup with both hands and took a small sip. The moment it entered her mouth, her whole body felt as if it were floating, and a warm current flowed from her mouth throughout her entire body.
"Thank you, God," Yulia carefully held the cup. Fruits of the Celestial Realm! The Celestial Realm! Oh my goodness! The Celestial Realm! Her hands trembled slightly with excitement, unable to obey her, causing ripples to appear in the juice in the cup.
It can enhance physique and increase Curse Power! This is the kind of opportunity only protagonists in manga have! Am I the protagonist?
"Gulp, gulp—" Yulia drank it all in one go without hesitation.
"Oh, oh, oh—so, so comfortable!" The reaction within her body made Yulia involuntarily let out a sound, and a visible pure white aura emanated from her body.
Although Yotsuya Miko was also emitting light, she remained very calm.
"Not bad, Miko. In such a short time, you've already learned over a dozen spells, and your Curse Power has increased so much. You can basically handle evil spirits within the third layer of the Ri (Other) World with ease," Xia Wei looked at the extremely composed Miko, growing more satisfied the more he looked. He stroked her head; her hair was very soft.
Miko's hair was not pure black; the tips had a hint of purple, which looked particularly appealing. "Mm," Yotsuya Miko shyly lowered her head, her fingers kneading the hem of her skirt. Aside from her father stroking her head when she was a child, Upper God was the second male to touch her head.
"It's all power bestowed by Upper God."
Xia Wei looked at Yulia, and as she Shrinking the neck like a little hamster, he extended his hand. In his palm were two 'Divine Blessing seeds'.
"Yulia, like Miko, you are a 'Child of Destiny' who can naturally see evil spirits."
"You bear the destiny of exorcising the evil spirits that trouble people in this world."
"Here are two 'Divine Blessing' seeds. Obtaining Divine Blessing means you must bear your own destiny."
"Of course, you can also refuse and return to a peaceful life, living out your days safely."
The above was purely 'bluffing'. Whether there was 'destiny' or if she was a 'Child of Destiny' was entirely up to him to say.
He said this to satisfy Yulia's burning fantasy of an extraordinary life.
"Child of Destiny! The destiny of exorcising evil spirits!" Yulia was instantly struck, as if an arrow had shot straight into her heart. Her heart bloomed with joy, and her head spun with excitement. She stood up with a whoosh.
"I, I am a 'Child of Destiny'!"
"'Child of Destiny'?" Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened too. Me? Just me? Am I a Child of Destiny? Really?
I bear the destiny of eliminating evil spirits?
Although Yotsuya Miko was a bit bewildered, since God said it, it must be true.
Japanese people like 'fatalism', just as Chinese people believe 'my fate is up to me, not heaven'.
"That's right, only a 'Child of Destiny' can make the Divine Blessing seeds bloom. Ordinary people, no matter what, cannot gain power from 'Divine Blessing seeds'," Xia Wei said. The 'Divine Blessing seeds' in his hand floated in front of Yulia.
"God, I choose to bear my destiny!" Yulia's face was full of righteousness, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her chest.
No wonder she could see them since she was little, no wonder she was different since she was little—so this was the truth!
Meeting Si Gu Qian Bei and being brought here by Si Gu Qian Bei to see God—this must also be 'destined'.
Thinking of this, her peripheral vision looked at Yotsuya Miko beside her.
Just like in manga, Si Gu Qian Bei and she were part of the 'protagonist group'.
Great, I really am the protagonist!
Yulia put down the empty juice cup and held the two 'light particles' with both hands. The moment she touched them, the light particles melted into her palms, and in a blink of an eye, they traveled up her arms to her chest.
At the same time, a large amount of information appeared in her mind.
Divine Blessing | Spirit Taming: Can forcibly control spiritual bodies. The degree of control is related to mental power.
Divine Blessing | Enchantment: Can attach natural elements to any object.
Basic Magic Compendium: Contains hundreds of basic spells.
World Common Knowledge: Common knowledge about the truth of evil spirits in this world, 'Exorcist', 'Shrine Maiden'—
"I'm going to become God's 'Shrine Maiden' now!" Yulia snapped out of the power, her cheeks flushed with excitement, her eyes flickering as she looked at God.
"That's so cool!"
She didn't realize what becoming a Shrine Maiden meant; she only knew it was incredibly cool. In any manga, a Shrine Maiden is a very, very sacred profession and the noblest person in the human world, able to use cool powers anytime, anywhere.
And if she encountered a monster she couldn't defeat, she could also pray to her God for power.
"Are you happy?" Xia Wei asked with a smile, looking at Yulia, whose earlobes were red with excitement.
"Happy!" Yulia involuntarily placed her hands on both cheeks and nodded like a pecking chick. She didn't feel any estrangement from God; after all, becoming a Shrine Maiden meant being the closest person to God.
"Do you like it?" Xia Wei continued to ask with a smile.
"I love it!" Yulia became even more excited.
"This child—is really interesting," Xia Wei couldn't help but rub her head.
Yulia's social anxiety was more about ordinary people, because ordinary people would think she was a strange child, so Yulia reacted defensively.
But for people with special abilities like her, she wasn't socially anxious.
This was normal; after all, birds of a feather flock together.
Yulia felt the warmth on her head and only then realized what she had said in her excitement. A sense of mortifying shame rushed to her head, and she instantly fell silent, lowering her head.
Me, what was I doing just now! So embarrassing!
Her toes, wearing sandals, curled together.
Now Si Gu Qian Bei must be looking at her with an amused expression!
"Oh~ why did this child suddenly fall silent?" Xia Wei looked at the child with complex inner thoughts, smiling. How interesting she was; he liked interesting children like this, because such personalities made life full of fun.
"Um—" Yulia stammered when asked.
