Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi with a faint, unreadable smile.
"Master? What’s wrong?"
Kajimi froze.
She wasn’t sure what had just happened.
Then she recalled what had just happened... it seemed she had Charmed her master.
’He can’t still be angry, can he?’
’But he just promised he wouldn’t be mad!’
"Kajimi, you’ve done very well for yourself."
Fang Xiu said with a faint smile.
At his words, Kajimi felt a little intimidated.
’This... What exactly was so "well done"?’
"Master... you said you forgave me. You can’t go back on your word! Besides, you weren’t even Charmed by me!"
At this, Kajimi’s curiosity piqued. "Right, Master, why weren’t you Charmed by me?"
Fang Xiu looked at Kajimi.
The truth was, he had been Charmed back then.
But at the critical moment, the system’s voice had suddenly echoed in his mind.
Fang Xiu had instantly regained his senses.
Everything that followed was naturally well within his control.
"Forget it. I’m not telling you."
Fang Xiu just smiled, refusing to say more.
Kajimi pouted but didn’t say anything either.
’If Master doesn’t want to say, then there’s no way for me to know.’
"Kajimi, congratulations on successfully Promoting!"
Fang Xiu suddenly changed the subject.
Kajimi froze.
"Thank you, Master!"
Kajimi quickly said with a smile.
By now, Fang Xiu could already see all of Kajimi’s stats.
[Kajimi]
[Species: Succubus]
[Rank: Two]
[Talent: Flying (Tier Two), Charm (Tier Two)]
[Skills: Chain Whip (Tier Two), Rotating Storm (Tier Two), Invisibility Technique, Phantom Cage]
[Equipment: Bone Whip]
All of her original Skills were upgraded to Tier Two.
And she had gained two new Skills.
Fang Xiu immediately inspected the two new Skills.
[Invisibility Technique: Grants thirty minutes of invisibility upon use. If used while accompanying the Succubus’s master, the duration is fifteen minutes.]
’She can make me invisible too?’
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected that.
That the Skill could affect her master as well.
The Invisibility Technique was easy enough to understand, though.
Fang Xiu immediately moved on to the second new Skill.
[Phantom Cage: The Succubus activates her Tier Two Flying Talent to create a cage of phantoms, imprisoning an enemy within. The imprisoned enemy cannot move and takes continuous damage.]
’It even deals damage!’
Fang Xiu had previously thought that Phantom Cage would be similar to Chain Whip.
He thought it would only imprison enemies.
He hadn’t expected [Phantom Cage] to also inflict continuous damage.
"Kajimi, what are your thoughts on your two new Skills?"
Fang Xiu asked.
"Huh? Master, how did you know I gained two new Skills?"
Kajimi looked at Fang Xiu, asking in confusion.
’But I haven’t even used them yet, so how could Master know?’
"I’m your master. Is there anything about you that I wouldn’t know?"
Fang Xiu said with a laugh.
Kajimi smiled back. "As expected of my master! These two new Skills are really good, you know!"
As she spoke, Kajimi vanished on the spot.
This time, she had truly disappeared.
She wasn’t just moving at high speed.
"Master, what do you think?"
Kajimi’s voice now came from behind Fang Xiu.
This meant that while she was using her Invisibility, Kajimi had walked behind him.
But Fang Xiu hadn’t heard a single sound.
’This Invisibility Technique is impressive. It can even hide the sound of footsteps!’
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
Kajimi laughed. "Master is right. This Invisibility Technique doesn’t just hide my form. Whether I’m walking or Flying, the sound disappears too. It’s just my voice that can’t be hidden!"
"That’s more than enough."
Fang Xiu said with a faint smile.
Being able to hide her form and footsteps was already sufficient.
Her voice was something she produced herself, so naturally, it couldn’t be hidden.
If she didn’t speak, she would truly vanish without a trace.
"You’re right, Master, this is enough. Besides, this Invisibility Technique has another special function. Care to guess what it is, Master?"
Kajimi said, full of confidence.
Fang Xiu smiled slightly. "A guess? Alright, I guess your Invisibility Technique can not only hide yourself, but it can also grant me Invisibility."
"Huh?"
Kajimi’s confused voice came from right in front of him.
Fang Xiu knew that Kajimi had just walked in front of him again, but he hadn’t sensed a thing.
’This Invisibility Technique is really excellent.’
"What’s wrong? Did I guess correctly?"
Fang Xiu asked with a smile.
"Mmm... Master guessed right!"
Kajimi’s tone was tinged with dejection.
She had been hoping her master wouldn’t know, so she could demonstrate it for him later.
But he had guessed it right away.
’So boring! No fun at all!’
"Since I guessed right, why don’t you show me? Let’s try out the Invisibility."
Fang Xiu seemed to have sensed Kajimi’s slight disappointment and said.
Hearing this, Kajimi’s spirits instantly lifted. "Hehe, okay, Master! Don’t move now. I’m going to grab your hand, so don’t be scared, okay!"
"Alright."
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
He then felt a soft hand take his own.
Then, Fang Xiu’s hand began to slowly fade, turning transparent.
The effect started to spread up his arm.
In less than ten seconds, Fang Xiu’s body had completely disappeared from view.
’So... this is the Invisibility Technique?’
Fang Xiu glanced down.
He couldn’t see himself at all.
Yet he could still feel everything.
"Master, what do you think?"
Kajimi said, still holding Fang Xiu’s hand.
"It’s very good!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
’An ability like this is the perfect tool for all sorts of dirty work, from petty thievery to murder and arson!’
"Hehe, I think this ability is amazing too. It’s just my first time using it, so I don’t know how long the Skill lasts!"
Kajimi said with a giggle.
"It’s half an hour if you use it yourself. With me, it should be fifteen minutes."
Fang Xiu stated matter-of-factly.
"Master, how did you know that?"
Kajimi’s voice was filled with confusion.
"Because I’m your master."
Fang Xiu gave an evasive answer.
He had seen it all through the system.
Even with Kajimi, Fang Xiu wouldn’t reveal the existence of the system.
Even though Kajimi was 100% loyal to Fang Xiu, both in body and Soul.
But... there was no need to tell her.
Fang Xiu didn’t want to over-explain.
"So you knew everything all along, Master. That wasn’t a guess just now, was it?"
Kajimi realized.
’He must have known from the very beginning.’
"What do you think?"
Fang Xiu just smiled.
He didn’t elaborate.
He then let go of Kajimi’s hand, and the Invisibility effect vanished.
’It seems this Invisibility Technique only works if I’m touching Kajimi,’ Fang Xiu thought.
Fang Xiu looked at his hand, which was no longer invisible, and mused internally.
"Master, would you like to see the other Skill too?"
Kajimi asked, looking at Fang Xiu.
"There are no Demon Beasts here for you to demonstrate it on," Fang Xiu said.
Kajimi smiled. "There are no Demon Beasts, but there is a person!"
"A person?"
Fang Xiu paused for a moment, then realized. "Me?"
"Hehe. Phantom Cage!"
Kajimi giggled.
Then, with a flicker of her body, she activated her Flying Skill.
Instantly, she conjured ten phantoms of herself.
As the ten phantoms appeared, they flew at high speed, instantly surrounding Fang Xiu.
They formed a cage, trapping Fang Xiu inside.
’Phantom Cage? Impressive!’
Fang Xiu watched as the ten phantoms formed a prison around him.
’This Skill is truly impressive.’
"Master, there’s more to this Skill than just that!"
Hearing Fang Xiu’s praise, Kajimi added a reminder.
And just then, Fang Xiu noticed the Phantom Cage begin to change.
BAM!
BAM!!
BAM!!!
Then, a series of Attacks landed on his body.
The Attacks were incredibly dense, a veritable storm of blows.
’So fast...’
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected Kajimi’s Attacks to be this fast.
’I can’t even tell what direction the Attacks are coming from. Is this the "continuous damage"?’
Fang Xiu forced his eyes open, trying to track Kajimi, but he couldn’t see her at all.
All he could see was a blurry afterimage flitting past.
He would look again, only for another afterimage to appear as his body was struck once more.
Even if Fang Xiu managed to focus on one of the afterimages, the other nine would continue their assault.
"Master, what do you think of this Skill?"
Kajimi’s voice echoed from all directions.
It was as if every single afterimage was Kajimi’s true self.
Even by listening to her voice, it was impossible to discern which direction the Attacks were coming from.
"Impressive!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
Because he was Kajimi’s master, even when she used an Attack on him, he wouldn’t actually be harmed.
This was why Kajimi dared to use an attack Skill on Fang Xiu without any reservations.
As Fang Xiu finished speaking, Kajimi canceled the Skill and landed back on the ground.
"Kajimi, when you activate that Skill, if you were to use your Bone Whip, the power should be even greater."
Although Fang Xiu hadn’t been injured, he could still feel its true power.
It was already powerful, but with Equipment, it could be stronger still.
"Is that so? Hmm, I’ll try using it next time!"
Kajimi nodded slightly.
She too felt that her master’s suggestion was an excellent one.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Just then, Fang Xiu’s phone suddenly started ringing.
Fang Xiu checked the screen. It was a call from Chu Qingxue.
’Chu Qingxue? Why is she calling me?’
Ever since they had gone their separate ways into different Gate Worlds, Fang Xiu hadn’t had any contact with Chu Qingxue.
He never expected the famously aloof campus beauty to take the initiative and call him.
After a moment’s thought, Fang Xiu answered the call.
"Help... help me..."
Chu Qingxue’s weak voice came from the other end of the line.
"Chu Qingxue? What’s going on? What happened to you?"
Fang Xiu hadn’t expected this.
The call was a plea for help.
"Is that... Fang Xiu? Tell... Uncle Zhao... save... us..."
Chu Qingxue’s voice was faint and broken.
Fang Xiu’s brows knitted together. "Where are you?"
"Num... ber... Thirty... Six... BEEP... BEEP... BEEP..."
The line went dead.
"Where?"
Fang Xiu asked again.
But the other end had already hung up.
