American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 242: Severe Case of Second-year Syndrome (Chuunibyou)

Xu Yi’s attention was primarily focused on the newly appeared person, who he perceived as far more threatening than the ferocious spirit of the little boy under the table.

As the dark clouds cleared from the sky and the moonlight poured down, the girl’s skin appeared so pale it was almost transparent. Her hair, too, was white, like frost or snow, with sharp, knife-like features that exuded an air of unspoken nobility.

The moment the girl appeared, the pale boy crawled out from under the table, clutching a bloody eyeball in his hand. He glanced at the girl and dashed towards the door.

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment but didn’t follow.

He had come to realize that the ferocious spirit of the boy was too eerie, so it was better for him to wait and see what would happen.

"You’re not American, are you?" Xu Yi asked, noting that her features and temperament were very distinct from the Americans he had encountered.

"Russian," the girl replied sparingly.

"We only have green tea here, no vodka. Would you like some?" Xu Yi brewed a pot of tea on his own initiative.

"You are the strongest man I’ve met," the girl said, looking at Xu Yi with a detached air.

Xu Yi nearly choked on his tea and coughed twice, "That’s an easy misunderstanding to provoke, you know! Breaking into a young man’s room through the window in the middle of the night... But why not the strongest person?"

"Because the strongest person is me!" The girl’s icy face was filled with pride.

"You really are confident," Xu Yi sat down and scrutinized her carefully.

She was indeed strong, perhaps the strongest exorcist Xu Yi had ever encountered. The reason he could sit there drinking tea so calmly was that he had ascertained she bore no malice towards him.

"If you want to marry me, you just need to defeat me," the girl said, unconcerned with Xu Yi’s evaluating gaze.

Xu Yi quickly put down his teacup, not daring to drink anymore, fearing he might choke to death. He looked at the unfamiliar girl speechlessly, "Do you Russians always speak so..."

He wanted to say bluntly, but that didn’t quite capture it. To describe her as unrestrained didn’t seem right either, as the girl maintained a serious demeanor, as if she was discussing some profound truth.

"My name is Yukeni." The girl ignored the conflicted Xu Yi and jumped down from the windowsill, striding straight towards him.

"The Evil Dragon Empress Yukeni?" Xu Yi wasn’t surprised by the girl’s self-introduction; he had already begun to realize who she was.

As a recently acclaimed exorcist, he was of course familiar with his "colleagues."

The combination of her threatening presence, youth, and iconic pure white hair left no doubt that she was Yukeni, reputed to be the most talented exorcist in history.

"Please don’t mention that foolish title," Yukeni frowned slightly.

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "At last we’ve found some common ground! When I have time, I’ll definitely go and file a complaint with the church to have the title changed. By the way, what would you like it changed to?"

"The strongest exorcist in history!" Yukeni answered without hesitation.

Xu Yi put down his teacup, silent for a long time, "I was too hasty before; I take back what I said earlier."

Clearly, the girl before him was afflicted with a severe case of "Chunibyo," or second-year middle school syndrome.

"Why did you tell me not to go after that ferocious spirit?" Xu Yi tactfully changed the subject.

"I’ve killed it several times, and then it became like this," Yukeni released the seal on her body, and a special aura spread out.

Xu Yi was inwardly alarmed; her words disclosed much, namely, that the ferocious spirit was tough to kill, perhaps unkillable, or else it wouldn’t have been "killed" multiple times by Yukeni.

"Is this a curse?"

What shocked Xu Yi more was the fact that Yukeni had been cursed!

The curse had been forcibly suppressed by Yukeni earlier, so Xu Yi hadn’t detected it.

Being a titled exorcist, even though Xu Yi didn’t know what her abilities were inclined towards, it was unlikely that she would be easily cursed.

"This curse is very special. According to those useless Onmyoji from Japan, it’s called a ’grudge,’ basically an insurmountable entity," Yukeni said irritably.

She had heeded the call of the Japanese Government and came with the intention of making some extra money and honing her skills, but she didn’t expect to encounter such a troublesome thing.

"A grudge?"

"There are certain extremely rare and special people called ’Nasha.’ If a Nasha dies harboring a grudge and establishes a curse before death, it would create a ’grudge,’" Yukeni explained.

"For common people, contact with a grudge means certain death and will spawn a new grudge. It will spread endlessly like this. It’s more like a virus, a virus that cannot be killed," she continued.

"You stopped me just now to prevent me from being cursed with resentful energy?" Xu Yi suddenly realized something.

"The little demon you saw just now is a part of the curse, and it’s not as simple as ’not killing it means you’re safe.’ The moment you set foot in Japan, or even just come into contact with someone carrying the curse, you could be cursed." Yukeni explained.

Xu Yi understood what she meant; not killing the Ferocious Spirit might mean he could escape the curse, but if he killed it, he would definitely be cursed.

"Is it that terrifying? By your logic, isn’t the world doomed?" Xu Yi became increasingly nervous as he listened.

"A few days ago, I left Japan to visit Boston and received some good news."

Yukeni’s tone softened, "The further you are from Japan, the weaker the effect of the curse. If you’re scared of dying, just find some place far from Japan to hide."

"You really are a model worker for exorcists!" Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and ridiculed lightheartedly.

Yukeni accepted the invitation from the Japanese Government, left for Boston even before the matter was resolved, discovered that there were no problems, and then hurried back here without delay.

"By the way, thank you. If it weren’t for you solving the problem in Boston, my situation right now would probably be worse," Yukeni said softly, expressing her gratitude.

"So you mean to say you made a wasted trip and wasted your time?"

Xu Yi wasn’t surprised that Yukeni knew of him, considering she had been to Boston. Out of curiosity, she would have wanted to see the person who resolved the issue.

"How could it have been a waste of time? There’s definitely an appearance fee!" Yukeni looked at Xu Yi with a perplexed expression.

Xu Yi was left speechless, and he also realized that the "appearance fee" probably wasn’t small.

"So, the reason you came to remind me was to thank me for earning you an appearance fee?" Xu Yi asked softly.

"What else?" Yukeni looked at Xu Yi with a look of surprise.

"Of course... that’s exactly it!" Xu Yi took a sip of tea to ease the awkwardness.

He looked at the curse on Yukeni, frowning and speaking out, "Is this curse really impossible to remove?"

Xu Yi walked towards Yukeni, who suddenly became a little nervous, "Why are you getting so close to me?"

Xu Yi burnt a strand of his blood, activating the ability "Holy," as a platinum-colored stream of energy converged at his fingertips, resembling flames.

"You want to dispel the curse? Don’t waste your time. I’ve tried so many methods, all to no avail," Yukeni said, noticing Xu Yi’s actions and letting out a quiet sigh of relief. Your next read is at novelbuddy

No sooner had her words fallen, the platinum-colored flames incinerated the black-red curse surrounding her body.

"How... how did you do that?" Yukeni stared at Xu Yi in a daze.

Xu Yi wasn’t happy about dispelling the curse; he remained deeply furrowed in thought because the next second, the black-red curse spread back onto Yukeni’s body.

To the initial observer, Yukeni’s curse seemed somewhat similar to that of the Evil God Ratma, but it was actually completely different.

The curse of the Evil God Ratma is difficult to eliminate because it is of a high "tier." If one finds energy of an even higher "tier," it can be dispelled.

However, the curse at hand was different; Xu Yi actually felt the sense of "rules."

"Don’t look so worried; the fact that you could temporarily burn away the curse has surprised me, and it is not without effect..." Yukeni felt her own body, "The curse has weakened by more than half."

"That’s only temporary. The curse will soon return to its original state, or it might even become stronger."

Xu Yi was more pessimistic than Yukeni; only those who have come into contact with the ’resentful energy’ can understand its horror and how difficult it is to deal with.

At the same time, he understood why Yukeni had returned to Japan.

She must be looking for a way to remove the ’resentful energy.’ Otherwise, with this thing staying in her body, it’s like a ticking time bomb.

"How did you know I was here?" Xu Yi suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Yukeni questioningly; could she have been following him?

Yukeni seemed to sense Xu Yi’s thoughts and rolled her eyes at him, "Don’t overthink it, I’ve been staying here for a while, just next door."

"You live nearby and you’re wearing a combat suit in the middle of the night?" Xu Yi had noticed her peculiar attire long ago.

"This combat suit isn’t for your sake." Yukeni looked out the window, her gaze deep and distant.
