American Exorcism Male God

A hotel in Queens, New York.

"Am I amazing, or is Maria amazing?"

Ailan looked down at Xu Yi from her superior position, while Xu Yi stared up at her from below.

After leaving the police station, Xu Yi didn't go straight home but wandered the quiet streets with Maria deep into the night.

He had intended to comfort Maria but discovered that she was stronger than he had thought. She even comforted him in return, "Don't worry about me, he got what he deserved. Ailan says she wants to thank you."

Xu Yi had never expected that Ailan's form of gratitude would be like this.

"I think I'm the more impressive one!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xu Yi suddenly exerted his strength and overpowered her, changing the dynamics of their offense and defense!

Time passed, and the two of them entered a mid-battle rest period. Discover stories at empire

"No wonder Maria likes to seek you out for special training. So this is what it feels like!"

Ailan's eyes sparkled as she spoke, and then her body surged upward once again.

Before joining the battle, Xu Yi took the chance to glance at the system panel.

[Ailan's current Favorability: 92]

Unbeknownst to him, Ailan's favorability had already exceeded 90. Perhaps she had been waiting for this moment of "revenge" for too long.

Time quietly slipped by, the darkness faded, and light arrived.

"Time to get up for breakfast!" Xu Yi drew back the curtains, and the bright sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room shine clean and the mood inexplicably good.

Last night involved an exorcism and a visit to the police station; they didn't arrive at the hotel until after four in the morning, and then immediately launched into battle. He would definitely be clutching his back and unable to get out of bed by now if his traits weren't so special.

Ailan sat up, turning over, and the only thing Xu Yi could say about her was that she was both rich and generous.

Ailan's character was completely different from Maria's. If it were Maria, she would never come to eat without being fully dressed.

Thinking of Maria, Xu Yi let out a long sigh.

Now with her body under Ailan's control, Maria had not appeared, and it seemed like she might be avoiding the situation.

Maria claimed not to care, but the pain was inevitable; only time could heal the wounds in her heart.

"Is this breakfast or lunch?" Ailan sat beside Xu Yi, not minding his gaze at all, and started eating vigorously with a knife and fork.

Xu Yi had only taken a couple of bites when sudden bursts of fireworks exploded outside the window.

Who sets off fireworks in broad daylight? Xu Yi was puzzled.

Moreover, New York City had only recently suffered a rat infestation with many hot-spirit patients around. Wouldn't setting off fireworks now be inviting resentment?

Looking towards the source of the explosions, with the aid of his Eyes of Obscurity's excellent vision, he spotted where the fireworks were coming from, the business district of Queens, a zone crowded with companies.

In the center of the business district, fireworks gushed out from a building, continuing for about fifteen minutes. Xu Yi stared at the high-rise building, lost in thought.

"What's wrong?" Ailan asked Xu Yi, puzzled, noticing he wasn't eating.

"It seems my company is opening!"

Ailan rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't believe Xu Yi could own a company, but because of the words "it seems." Shouldn't one know whether their own company is opening or not?

Xu Yi didn't offer further explanation. Above that high-rise, a huge piece of red cloth was draped. As the fireworks went off, the red cloth was also unveiled, revealing a huge statue underneath.

A minotaur with a serpent's body, its serpentine torso coiled around the great swords in its hands—without a doubt, it was the image of a Fire Gui.

At that moment, red hydrogen balloons rose one after another, floating above the city, each emblazoned with the pattern of the Fire Gui.

White banners unfurled below the hydrogen balloons, emblazoned with "Bastet Pharmaceutical Company Grand Opening!"

Xu Yi immediately covered his face and silently drew the curtains shut, adopting an "out of sight, out of mind" approach.

He suddenly wondered if William had not graduated from an Ivy League like Harvard, but from Harbin Buddhist College instead—what was with this old-fashioned, rustic promotional tactic from the last century?

Ailan finished eating in a hurry and suddenly delivered a fierce sweep kick towards Xu Yi's head, but Xu Yi caught her leg in one hand.

"What are you trying to do?" Xu Yi felt danger approaching.

"Come on! Let's continue the fight, and this time we must determine a winner!" Ailan got into a fighting stance.

"I haven't even finished my meal, have I?" Xu Yi said, holding a fork in his hand.

"Are you saying you can't do it?" Ailan asked with a slight contemptuous smirk.

Xu Yi quietly put down the fork and gripped Ailan's leg tighter, "Then let our game continue, and I'll show you just how terrifying an adc with maxed attack speed can be."

"Isn't this lifestyle too corrupt?" Xu Yi stretched lazily, feeling refreshingly comfortable all over.

"So? Are you regretting it now?" Ailan watched Xu Yi, her gaze growing increasingly dangerous.

As he got dressed, he was also plotting his next move, namely to help max out the "Dark Stealth" entries and advance his abilities further, reaching the level of a Great Exorcist.

The "Scholar" entries couldn't be neglected either. With the Scholar entry, he could synthesize hypnotism.

He had a vague feeling that under the auspices of the Sleeping Flower's fragrance, hypnotism might shine spectacularly.

Xu Yi finished putting on his underclothes and reached for his coat, but his hand trembled suddenly.

He instantly activated Symbiotic Eye to check the inside of the Treasure Box. Wisps of black smoke drifted into the Toy Box, converging towards the Cat Spirit Holy Tree.

Xu Yi was stunned because that was the Power of Faith.

But why would such an abundance of Faith suddenly appear out of nowhere?

On the Holy Tree, two black fruits hung, with Faith gathering around the unclaimed fruit. The fruit, the size of a mung bean, grew visibly faster as it absorbed the Power of Faith.

"If this fruit of faith grows to the size of a common peach, it should unlock the next phase of abilities!" A realization dawned on Xu Yi.

He started to feel a rush of excitement, not only because of unlocking the next set of abilities but also because of the profound potential of the faith fruit before him.

This fruit was definitely going to be incredibly useful, but its true value couldn't be known until it reached full maturity.

"Let's go! I'll take you to visit my company," Xu Yi said, turning to Ailan, who had already finished dressing.

The Power of Faith wouldn't increase so significantly without a reason; it wasn't as if manna was falling from heaven.

After much thought, he could only think of one possibility: William had started making his move, although Xu Yi had no idea what miraculous methods the other had used.

They headed in the direction of Bastet Company, and since it wasn't far, they chose to walk.

There were many people along the way, which was normal, considering they were surrounded by a bustling business district.

But the closer they got to Bastet Pharmaceutical Company, the more crowded it became. People were shoulder-to-shoulder, a density that clearly couldn't be explained simply by the area's commercial popularity; it was obviously due to some other event.

Thanks to their strong physiques, they squeezed their way to the front of Bastet Pharmaceutical Company, where an overwhelming sea of heads churned. The crowd had reached an exaggerated extent.

Strangely though, despite the immense crowd, there were no stampede incidents. Everyone lined up obediently, orderly entering Bastet Pharmaceutical Company.
