"Draw!" With that command, the sword, which had been in its scabbard, was instantly manipulated by an invisible hand, flying through the air like a small bird.
The "Ten Thousand Swords Technique," accompanied by the output of Honda's celestial power, caused the swords flying in mid-air to split in two, then four, in the blink of an eye. Honda was surrounded by a dense array of swords; anyone with trypophobia would surely die on the spot!
After manipulating the swords for a while, Honda sheathed the Sake Immortal Sword. Because Honda had chosen a secluded spot and had set up a barrier beforehand, no one knew the nature of Honda's power. Watching the swords fly back into their sheaths, Honda didn't linger. Otherwise, the kind-hearted Crimson Mist would come looking for him again.
"Lord Honda, let's talk." Today is a little different. It wasn't Ran Hongxia who sought Honda out; it was the arrival of the shrine maiden Kikyo. Honda was somewhat surprised, but upon seeing the white figure around the corner behind her, he understood. Li Jiayu needed to suppress his estrogen by sleeping with girls to temporarily stop his feminization. Unfortunately, this method was clearly a trap for Li Jiayu. Even if you could stop it temporarily at night, you couldn't possibly hold girls all day! During the day, you still needed to kill insects and arrange things, resulting in a surge of estrogen. Holding many girls at night wouldn't help unless you found a perfectly compatible girl. Only by uniting with a girl could you temporarily stop the downward progression—remember, it was only temporary. The octopus didn't lie to Li Jiayu, but it still concealed something. That was that Li Jiayu was destined to be feminized; this was a task given to it by the Goddess of Light.
Moreover, the Goddess of Light is currently slumbering within Li Jiayu's body. She will not allow Li Jiayu to remain a man forever.
"Okay!" Kikyo readily agreed to her request, after all, they were both from Japan. Kikyo was quite curious about this "fellow countryman," and besides, she wanted to escape Li Jiayu's harassment. She needed him; Li Jiayu was only so arrogant and domineering in front of Xiao Wanqing and Honda. So, Honda's agreement to her request relieved her!
"Damn it!" Li Jiayu gritted his teeth in the corner. He hadn't expected Kikyo to be such a convenient shield. He didn't dare to rush over now, but the pain of being turned into a girl was making him extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't tell anyone, and he had no way to resolve the situation. So he was now very distressed; Kikyo had run away. It seemed he would have to find another girl.
"Tch! I really want to just turn him into a girl, but it'd be fun this way too. Struggle in the abyss of feminization! Li Jiayu, you can't escape the fate of being feminized." The sharp-eyed Honda immediately noticed the struggle on Li Jiayu's face. Kikyo, his 'summoned beast,' was disobedient, trapping Li Jiayu in a vicious cycle. Initially, his sexual apathy prevented him from interacting much with women. But the bloodline of the Vine Queen kept influencing his search for girls; he didn't like what others liked. He was truly a peculiar man!
"Let's go to the cafeteria and get something to eat!" Honda glanced at the midday sun; he hadn't eaten anything since morning. Although his need for food had diminished due to his cultivation, delicious food was still Honda... Zeus's favorite thing—in other words, he was a foodie.
The two chatted about interesting things while eating the prepared insect meat in the cafeteria, thoroughly enjoying themselves! But their good mood didn't last long.
"You female student... why do you speak so rudely? What do you mean by 'stealing someone'? I was just trying to point you in the right direction, and you treated my kindness like dirt. Don't you know that the military is the best choice?"
That sound completely ruined Honda's good mood; it was like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. Exceptionally unpleasant, though not overly harsh. But that raspy voice combined with the offensive profanity made you want to punch the owner.
After telling Kikyo, Honda rushed out. He saw a dozen soldiers confronting Akane and her group.
"What's going on, Principal Xiao?" Honda asked, looking at Xiao Wanqing standing to the side.
Xiao Wanqing smiled and explained to Honda that the military had come to recruit people. This company commander Zheng, who was leading the group, was also an idiot, ignoring that everyone present was of higher rank than him. He was just barking wildly!
While the two were chatting, Ran Hongxia gave this guy a good beating. She used him as a warning!
"Alright, I won't argue with you... You must be the top expert in this school, right? You're quite impressive... Cough, Principal Xiao and Master Xie Wenyuan's safety are your responsibility. Enough of this nonsense, I have other tasks to complete. See you next time."
After saying that, Company Commander Zheng slunk away with his men. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even see Honda's face before running off. Otherwise, given Honda's petty nature, he definitely would have caused trouble!
"Aunt Xiao, that Company Commander Zheng is really annoying... He's come to our school a few times, and he's been lecherous towards you, acting like he's some kind of local tyrant, like our school can't survive without the army behind him. I really hate his attitude."
Ran Hongxia put down her longsword, turned around, and gently pouted as she spoke to Xiao Wanqing.
"Honda, you're here too. Did you see that guy fall flat on his face? It's hilarious, and he even called me the number one fighter!"
Ran Hongxia happily pulled Honda along, telling him about the funny things that had just happened!
"Alright, there's a meeting tonight, don't be late." Xiao Wanqing stopped Ran Hongxia from continuing and said kindly to Honda! Then she pulled Ran Hongxia away.
That evening, Honda and Kikyo attended Li Jiayu's pep talk. The famous great escape was starting tomorrow, around midnight. After Li Jiayu finished speaking, Kikyo followed Honda closely out of the meeting room. Li Jiayu was furious, but he didn't have the courage to say anything to his older sister Honda. "Sister, I'm almost being turned into a girl, can I borrow Kikyo for a bit?" he thought. He'd probably be considered a pervert before he even finished speaking.
So Li Jiayu found a replacement, Sun Weiwei. This was incredibly fortunate for Sun Weiwei. She already harbored special feelings for Li Jiayu, and the apocalypse had made her even more dependent on him. Plus, she was now Li Jiayu's disciple—this happiness was extraordinary!
That night, Kikyo stayed in Honda's room. The two chatted for a while before resting; thankfully, Honda's bed was big enough, so there was no need for someone to sleep on the sofa. However, a grinding sound kept coming from inside the mount's space. It was probably just her imagination.
