However, Mai Sakurajima did not completely despair. She walked down the street and even lingered in front of everyone, hoping that someone would recognize her.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Mai Sakurajima felt a gaze and looked in the direction it was looking. A look of surprise appeared on her face. "That seems to be a first-year junior!"
Sakurajima Mai had some impression of Fang Yan, after all, he was very handsome, and even Sakurajima Mai had to admit that he was really suitable to play the male lead in idol dramas.
Moreover, Fang Yan was a member of the student council, so Sakurajima Mai would have some recollection of him.
Seeing Fang Yan looking in her direction, Sakurajima Mai nervously stepped forward to his side. She tentatively waved her hand in front of him, her eyes fixed intently on him...
"Mai-senpai, what are you doing dressed like this?" Fang Yan slapped away Sakurajima Mai's hand and said somewhat irritably.
"You, you can see me?" Mai Sakurajima exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this.
Before, she could only try, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Mai Sakurajima worried that if the people around her continued to ignore her, she would go crazy.
This feeling of despair is something no one can understand.
Fortunately, she now realizes that she is not alone; at least someone can see her now, which is a cause for celebration.
"Why can't I see it? It's just a spirit!" Fang Yan waved his hand. He had witnessed enough during this time.
Spirits are nothing to him. You know, he's killed ghosts, cat demons, so-called gods, vampires, and even the legendary Kuchisake-onna. Yesterday, he even killed five tengu.
Now, when Fang Yan encounters spirits or the like, he feels it's not as simple as version 1.0.
"But, Mai-senpai, what are you doing dressed like this? Although almost no one can see it, the way you dress makes people wonder if you have some kind of special fetish!" Fang Yan said in a strange tone.
Sakurajima Mai quickly took a step back, covering her chest with her hands, and said blushingly, "Who said I like this? I just want people to see me. Isn't it because you bunch of perverts like to see this kind of thing?"
"Is that so?" Fang Yan looked Sakurajima Mai up and down. No wonder she's someone who lives for Sakurajima Mai; to be honest, she's really amazing!
Chapter 77
"What are you looking at? It's so rude of you to stare at a girl like that!" Mai Sakurajima scolded Fang Yan shyly.
"Sorry, but Mai-senpai is a goddess in many people's hearts, and some people have even said that people live for Mai-senpai!" Fang Yan waved his hand, indicating that Mai Sakurajima should not mind.
"What, people live for me..." Sakurajima Mai was also a little dumbfounded. She had never heard such words before. She even doubted whether the man in front of her had said these words. Was this a disguised confession?
However, Mai Sakurajima quickly recovered and asked Fang Yan, "By the way, what's this about the spirit you mentioned earlier? Do you know why others can't see me?"
As she spoke, Mai Sakurajima became agitated; the feeling of not being seen by others was truly unbearable for her.
"Hmm!" Fang Yan nodded slightly. "Could you wait a moment? I still have some things to buy. I'll explain to you after we leave here. I think you wouldn't want others to suspect me of being crazy, right? After all, talking to thin air is just too strange!"
“Okay!” Although Mai Sakurajima hesitated for a moment, considering that the other person was the only one who could see her in the past two days and knew the truth about how she had become like this, she chose to wait patiently.
Moreover, if others really couldn't see her, then it would indeed be suspicious if the other person was talking to thin air. She glanced around and saw the strange looks people were giving Fang Yan. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or feel annoyed.
Because of Mai Sakurajima's presence, Fang Yan was able to shop much faster. After paying for his large amount of shopping, he headed home.
"Where are we going?" Mai Sakurajima asked after passing a well-known coffee shop nearby and noticing that Fang Yan didn't seem to be going in.
"Of course it's my home. If someone saw me talking to you like this, they would all think I'm crazy. Although there are some people in this world who can see you, they are not many!" Fang Yan said calmly.
What does Mai Sakurajima think she is?
A wolf?
He admitted that he was despicable and lusted after Mai Sakurajima, but did he need to take advantage of her vulnerability?
If she really wanted to, all Fang Yan had to do was ask, and Sakurajima Mai's unscrupulous mother would simply trick her into going to her bed.
"This?" Mai Sakurajima hesitated for a moment, but after looking Fang Yan over for a while, she decided to follow.
Although Fang Yan said that some other people might see her, in the past few days, Fang Yan has been the only one who has seen her and even knows her situation, which makes Mai Sakurajima choose to take the risk.
I think the other person won't do anything to me dressed like this.
The two returned to Fang Yan's house. As soon as they closed the door, Chansey eagerly popped out of its Poké Ball. Clearly, this Pokémon didn't like staying inside the Poké Ball either.
After coming out, Chansey took the items from Fang Yan's hands and greeted Mai Sakurajima again.
"What...what?" Mai Sakurajima was completely stunned. What kind of creature was this? Why had she never seen it before? Could it be a legendary monster?
By the way, that monster came out of that ball earlier. Could it be Fang Yan's shikigami?
Fang Yan is an Onmyoji.
Thinking about this, Mai Sakurajima felt that her worldview had changed.
"Does this seem unbelievable?" Fang Yan asked after bringing the dazed Sakurajima Mai into the room.
"Indeed unbelievable!" Mai Sakurajima said, taking a deep breath. Then, she looked intently at Fang Yan and asked, "Are you the legendary Onmyoji?"
In the Sakura Prefecture, Onmyoji and the like are quite respected.
Despite being a famous child star with considerable fame, Mai Sakurajima's social status is not as high as one might imagine.
In Japan, the status of celebrities is far lower than in mainland China, and their income is even lower. However, in terms of acting skills and dedication, well…
"I am not an Onmyoji!" Fang Yan extended a finger and flicked a flame onto it.
Having obtained the Yin-Yang School, I should be considered the ancestor of Yin-Yang Masters, right?
You've already conjured flames, and you still say you're not an Onmyoji?
Hehe! However, Mai Sakurajima only dared to think such things to herself. It was impossible for her to say them out loud. Fang Yan was definitely her savior right now.
"Can you help me solve my current problem? What's with this spirit? Why did I suddenly fall asleep on my way home, and when I woke up, I was like this!" Mai Sakurajima asked hurriedly.
She didn't even notice that, in her nervousness, she had grabbed Fang Yan's hand.
“I don’t know that either!” Fang Yan shook his head slightly. “I know you are a spirit. Under normal circumstances, as a spirit, you would already be dead!”
"Then what about unusual circumstances!" Sakurajima Mai exclaimed hastily, unwilling to admit she was dead.
Chapter 78
If given the choice, who would willingly choose to die?
Especially while she was still conscious, Mai Sakurajima found it even more difficult to accept this; she still had so many years of her life ahead of her.
"I also said basically!" Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "It's a bit illogical that you fainted. I suspect someone attacked you, and it's probably someone like an Onmyoji. They must have taken a liking to your physique!"
"My constitution? Is that the spirit you mentioned before?" Mai Sakurajima asked hurriedly.
"Well, there are many types of spirits, and it's also a general term for some special constitutions. I don't know exactly what kind of spirit you are, but based on the fact that you didn't become a ghost or dissipate after leaving your body or dying, and that you can still pick up and examine objects, you are indeed a spirit."
"For some evil cultivators, spirits are indeed what they need!" Fang Yan explained calmly, then withdrew his hand from Sakurajima Mai's grasp, took out the Jingdian, turned to the section on spirits, and handed it to Sakurajima Mai.
Mai Sakurajima quickly took the book and began to read it. Today's events far exceeded her expectations.
As she flipped through the book, Mai Sakurajima learned quite a bit about her current situation; she seemed to be in real danger!
She was certain that she was a spirit, and the attraction that spirits held for those cultivators and monsters made Sakurajima Mai grateful that she had grown up to be this old.
This seems a bit difficult!
Moreover, after becoming a spirit, he was not captured and even encountered Fang Yan. His luck seems to be quite good.
She didn't think Fang Yan was deceiving her. After all, he had even brought out the book. It was impossible for him to have specially made this book just to deceive her, right?
After a long while, Mai Sakurajima put down her book and stared intently at Fang Yan, asking, "So, in this world, what kind of legendary demons and monsters exist? Onmyoji, Taoist priests, priests, cultivators, and so on all exist!"
"Hmm!" Fang Yan nodded slightly: "Actually, it was quite rare before, but recently, for some reason, spiritual energy has suddenly begun to recover, and demons and monsters have started to appear. After that, there will be more cultivators, and I suspect that the emergence of superhumans or something similar in the future is not impossible."
It depends on how the world ultimately becomes.
"So, I was set up by someone, and they've got their eyes on my constitution!" Mai Sakurajima's voice was somewhat low.
What is going on here?! Her own mother chose to sell her out for a little money, making her shoot an underwear commercial. Now, someone else is trying to take advantage of her physical condition. Even Mai Sakurajima herself doesn't know if she's alive or dead.
How could she possibly accept this?
"Hmm, I think so? But I'm curious, why are you still able to move around freely?" Fang Yan asked Sakurajima Mai with a hint of curiosity, "Could something have gone wrong during this process?"
"I don't know either. I just drifted off to sleep and when I woke up, I was right there on the street." Mai Sakurajima frowned and said, "Normally, I'm quite alert, but that day, I don't know why, I just couldn't resist the sleepiness!"
"You've been drugged?" Fang Yan guessed.
"That's impossible. Everything I eat and drink is provided by my mother..." At this point, Mai Sakurajima hesitated. Her own mother?
In the past, Mai Sakurajima would have believed without hesitation that her mother would not betray her, but things are different now!
Is a mother who tricks her high school daughter into filming an underwear advertisement really trustworthy?
"I don't know about that, but it's very likely your mother!" Fang Yan said at this moment.
Mai Sakurajima fell silent, unable to say anything. At that moment, she desperately wanted to run to her mother and confront her, asking why she had wronged her in this way.
Does he want to die?
"Then can you be sure when and where you last lost consciousness? Was it the same place where you woke up?" Fang Yan then asked with a burning gaze.
At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless. If he had known earlier that Mai Sakurajima would be sold, he would have acted accordingly.
With his family's money and status, he should be able to buy her from Sakurajima Mai's mother, right?
So, could this book be renamed "(Ciano's) My Bunny Maid"?
"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm certain it's not the same place!" Mai Sakurajima said seriously after a moment's thought.
"Is that so?" Fang Yan stroked his chin. So, the truth was slowly being revealed. He then said to Sakurajima Mai, "In that case, you may not be dead. Your soul and body may have separated. Under certain special circumstances, your soul became a spirit and escaped!"
"This?" Mai Sakurajima was overjoyed to hear this. Knowing that she was still alive, she was naturally extremely happy, but where was her body?
Sometimes, the more she knows, the more afraid she becomes!
Chapter 79
Mai Sakurajima felt like she had fallen into a huge vortex, and if she wasn't careful, she might be completely destroyed.
So what should I do at this point?
She had stopped thinking about the possibility of her mother's betrayal. Instead, she was considering how to return to her own body. Now that she had escaped, those guys couldn't just ignore her and might continue searching for her, which would be detrimental to her.
